Author's Note: Keep reading & reviewing, and I promise I will keep writing! This is a little boring...but more Eli/Grace steamy goodness coming when I get the chance!
Under the blanket of the dark sky, Eli and Grace felt no qualms about their relationship and openly showered each other with affection. And tonight, after watching the sun set together, elated over the earlier declaration of their love towards one another; the night walk home was even more special. The autumn wind blew Grace's auburn hair across her face, and the chilly atmosphere caused Grace to quicken her pace home.
Eli jogged up beside her, reaching for her hand and pulling her closer to his body. "Hey....hold on a second there, Grace." he chuckled nervously. He brought a hand to her face softly and she looked away. "What's wrong?" Grace shivered slightly, but not from the cold, it was the way she reacted to his touch.
"You're cold," It was a statement, rather than a question. And his large hands tentatively slid down her neck and rubbed at her arms. "Eli," she shifted her feet. "I'm so in love with you....I - I'm just a little scared about the future and what is going to happen to us."
"Hey..." Eli used his hand to softly caress her face. "Don't worry, Grace, everything will be okay....I promise you,"
"Eli, how do you know?"
"I know it in here," Eli pointed his finger to the side of his head. "But, most of all I feel it in here..." He grasped her hand and lay it flat against his chest, over his heart. Grace's hazel eyes softened, and she leaned into Eli's strong build, reaching her other arm over his neck and allowing her lips to press up against his.
Eli licked the seam of Grace's lips, and she sighed contentedly into his kiss. Their tongues stroking each others under the light of the street lamp. When the night air blew again, Eli and Grace were reminded of where they were and they separated. Grace caressed Eli's cheek with her thumb, and smiled - grabbing onto his hand lightly, "Come on, Eli...let's go home,"
