"And forgot about it just as soon as she did. Nothing to worry about, I promise you, babe. I will actively stop that once you decide it's time for me to meet her." Grace's eyes slowly lowered, exposing her vulnerable side, "That is, if you still want me to."

He scooped her up in a long, pa.s.sionate kiss, "I absolutely do. Maybe not today, but maybe tomorrow? It's going to be quite the shock for her either way."

Grace beamed with a smile, "I don't see how! Look at you, Stephen. You are so handsome, a perfect catch in every way. Surely, she would expect you to have feminine attention."

Stephen laughed, "While I appreciate your kindness, reality has shaped out a little differently. She's going to be shocked, but sooner or later, we'll have to rip the band-aid off."

"Band-aid?" Grace looked at him confused. "Oh, that's a figure of speech, right? Yes, we'll have to rip the band-aid off," she finished, excitedly.

She was just so d.a.m.n adorable.

Stephen was the first one to hop out of bed, standing for a long stretch as soon as his feet hit the carpet. He began to grab for his s.h.i.+rt and his gym shorts, which had been discarded so casually at the base of the bed during their earlier romp. For her part, Grace just snuggled up to his pillow, laying on her side with one hand holding her head up. Her bed hair was still framed somewhat chaotically and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were still completely exposed, as was everything from the waist up. She looked completely ravis.h.i.+ng still, and wore a small smile as she watched him get dressed.
