Page 97 of What Are The Odds?
Grace sighed. “Wow. I am so far from home.”
I set her bag on one of the two ridiculously expensive luxurious bean bags, then crossed the room to hug her from behind.
“What does your bedroom back home look onto?”
“The neighbour's fence,” Grace snickered. “But you can almost see the beach from our lounge room.”
“I hope I get toalmostsee the beach from your lounge room one day.”
I held my breath, unsure how she was going to react. I relaxed when she turned, and her lips moved into a perfect smile.
“I hope so too.”
That was promising.
“Am I staying in here this weekend?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Where are you staying?”
I frowned. “In here too.”
She placed her hands against my chest then shoved me backwards.
“No way. We can't share a bed under your parent’s roof.”
I lowered my voice to a mock whisper. “My parents know I have sex, Hughesy.”
The familiar blush climbed up her neck and settled in her cheeks.
“Too bad,” she quipped. “You’ll have to get comfortable in one of the many guestrooms we passed.”
“If it makes you feel better. But just know the second the lights go out, I’ll be sneaking back in here and getting you naked.”
Grace pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. Her breathing increased. She was definitely thinking about that scenario.
“Well the lights are still on,” she said, coming to her senses. “So can we finish that tour?”
I took Grace outside first because I needed to cool the fuck down. The outdoor area was fitted out with a huge deck and stone fireplace with a two-storey high chimney. There was a sitting area that faced a large television and outdoor kitchen, along with a pool and hot tub that overlooked acres of green grass and rolling mountains.
“Is it ever warm enough to swim in the pool?” Grace asked.
“Big time.”
Summers were hot here. As hard as that was to imagine right now. We went downstairs to the basement next so I could show Grace the cinema room. I stood in the doorway, watching as she explored. Will and I had watched countless hockey games in here. Many nights had ended with our entire junior's team around.
Grace fell into one of the plush armchairs. “We’re definitely watching a movie later.”
“If you’re lucky we can sit in the back row and do some hand stuff.”
She snickered. “Ifyou’relucky.”
My grin widened. “Is that a yes, Hughesy?”
Her lips twisted into a coy smile. “Maybe.”
My dick literally twitched at the possibility. I was saving the kitchen and main living area for last. It was the place my parents would most likely be, and I wanted a bit more Grace time first. Also, there was something else I wanted to show her.
