Saving Grace #Wattys2016

Chapter Thirteen

Guys I am soooooooooo sorry for not updating! I took a vacay and forget the laptop but I also needed time to figure out where Hardy and Grace are going next. I'm writing the story and still got crazy when they finally kissed!!! Praise the Lord!!! But message or comment what you would like to see happen, I'm always open for suggestions!

STERLING KNIGHT AS CONNER HALE

I was pushed up between Hardy and the wall, his mouth came crashing after. One arm came to pull me closer, the other was exploring the skin the slit didn't and did cover, cupping a hip and bringing me even closer. This was exactly what I've been waiting for with him. To stop the act and show how we really felt about each other. I had to wrap my arms around his neck so I didn't fall from the sheer pleasure it gave me. We finally came up for air and just stared at each other. His mouth tasted like wine but he tasted like pure passion and bliss.

"You don't know how long I've waited for that. It's been forever." I said on his cheek.

"I know, honey; I've been waiting twice as long."

Ella reached up on her tippy toes on the counter to put up the picture on the wall. Decorating the house was a pain. It would've went faster with Grace but she had something important to do; getting her man. Ella wondered if she did when the front door opened producing Carlos, Danny and Abigail.

"Hey, you." Carlos came over to help her off the counter and kiss her.

"Hey guys. What's up?" A eave of uneasiness went through her. Grace wasn't here like she was supposed to be.

"Where's Grace?" Abigail asked. Shit. "Out....getting some stuff." Was the best she could come up with. for now. Her cell phone started to ring. Danny went over to answer it.

"It's Grace." He answered the call, about to speak but her voice beat him.

"Hey, Ella. Just calling to check in, sorry I left you alone but the play was wonderful. And dinner too. Hey, stop st-"

"Ella," A male voice said laughing. "She has some stuff to tell you when she gets home."

"As he said, I have some stuff to tell you later. We're driving home now so..... Oh, tell Mom and Danny I said don't wait up and that you'll drop me home. Thanks, Elle, I owe you." "Who's that man?" Abigail asked.

"I know exactly who it was." Danny glared at Ella. I'm so fired, she thought.

"Damn it, Eleanor." Carlos used her first name which meant he was pissed. "What the hell did you two get into." He groaned.

I told Hardy to pull up softly because I didn't want Mom or Danny to wake up. There was enough time to get my stuff and say goodnight before I had to get home.

"Hardy, tonight was amazing."

"All of it?"

"All of it." I kissed him slowly. He moaned in response and nearly lifted me out the seat and into his lap.

"But I have to go. Call me later?"

"Soon as I get inside." I got myself and rushed to the front door, waving Hardy goodbye as he pulled away and I got inside. My hand cruised the side of the walls for the stair railing when the lights went on. Mama sat at the table while Danny propped himself against the wall near the light switch.Dammit.And here I was, dressed in Emma's gown sneaking in.

"I thought I told Ella to tell you not to wait up." I said breathlessly.

"I thought you said you were going to be with Ella." Mama came back. "Where did you go, Grace?"
