Grace's POV:

Oh. My. God.

Those words were a litany that ran through my mind as I struggled to catch my breath and stop my legs from shaking. My breathing was shallow and raspy I rolled my head to the side and a ridiculous grin lit my face as I lay limp and panting on the spread out blanket. After a while I was able to gather my strength and roll onto my stomach and look at the colorful blur that was Ty and gave him a megawatt smile. Brett had been my first and only until now and the sex hadn't been near as good; it hadn't even come close. I had to admit to myself that Ty's request of me didn't really surprise me. He'd been a little nervous about asking me, I could hear it in his voice. To be honest there were a few guilty pleasure books that I keep hidden that features bondage and other things of that lifestyle so I wasn't totally clueless when Ty had silently asked for a little trust in him and allow him to have his way.

Compared to some of the things I've read in books it was relatively mild, but it thrilled me all the same. I gnawed on my lip as I turn my head to stare out ahead of to where I think the creek is my toes curling at the thought of doing other things that sent a shiver up my spine. "What's on your mind?" Ty's sudden question snaps me out of my reverie and I fight the blush that's threatening to creep up on my face and shrug. How was I going to tell him what was on my mind without embarrassing myself completely? While I debated on what to tell him I shiver as he runs a calloused finger up the center of my spine. Automatically I feel my back arching into his touch what sounds like a purr escapes from between my lips. I hear a low rumbling chuckle from Ty and turn my head ever so slightly. He doesn't say anything, waiting expectantly for my answer. After more chewing on my lip I sigh quietly and finally respond. "I was just thinking how perfect it was and," I pause and take a deep breath steeling myself for what I'm about to say. Slowly my hand reaches for him and my fingers graze what felt like his shoulder. "And how I wouldn't mind exploring things further."

I hold my breath as I wait for his response, my heart beating a fast staccato in my chest. Please don't let him change his mind. I don't think I could bear it if he decided he got what he wanted from me and left. My thoughts sped a million miles an hour as I waited the already hot, muggy air thickening until it's almost suffocating me. Just as I was about to get myself worked up I feel him shift beside me and I turn my head away from him biting down harder on my lip as the backs of my eyes began to burn. I swallow hard and suck in a shuddering breath preparing myself for rejection when suddenly I feel Ty's hands on my waist. They tug gently but firmly at me until I'm forced to sit up, when I do he automatically hauls me into his lap. Unable to bear looking at him I lower my head down but he presses a hand to my chin as he situates me sideways in his lap and forces me to look at him. He's silent for long moment but I feel his gaze on my face. After a long moment he lowers his head and kisses me hard his teeth sinking into my bottom lip and bites down on it.

It doesn't hurt but he elicits a gasp out of me, as I open my mouth he releases my lip and gentles the kiss. Finally he pulls away from me, when I go to move off his lap his arms tighten around my waist holding me in place and growls. "Breathe, Gracie, and listen to me very carefully." I take another breath, this one deeper and let it out slowly trying my best to relax. "You are the most astonishing woman I've ever known. You continuously surprise me when I think that you couldn't be surprised any more. I am not going to change my mind about us, I wouldn't do that to you, sweetheart." I feel his lips brush against mine for a second before he murmurs. "It makes me happy that you're willing to try. Though I wouldn't have pushed you into it if that wasn't what you wanted." Relief hits me so hard that I sag in his arms. He truly was a good man and I was so fortunate that I was getting to call him mine. Ty kisses me again this time with a bit more firmly and lingered there for a moment before playfully popping me on the butt. "Why don't we go cool off in the creek? Afterwards we'll rejoin the party and, hopefully, avoid you getting into any more trouble." I smile and nod at him before I'm set carefully on my feet.
