Hey everyone, this chapter is a bit explicit so I thought I would just warn you. I'm not usually this dirty, but O well.

Chapter eleven

It's midnight and Eli has just gotten out of his school clothes and has jumped into his bed. He presses 'play' on the stereo and music fills the room. His eyes begin to close when he hears a low nock on the door. Before he can even say anything, the door starts to open and Grace shuffles into the bedroom. She walks towards the bed, throws off her dressing gown and slippers and joins Eli in bed.

"Gra…"

Grace places a finger on his mouth and Eli stops speaking.

"I'm sorry for being a drama queen, E. I shouldn't put all my shit on to you and I won't from now on. I really need to get over my insecurities and…"

"Forg…"

"And believe that you really do love me."

Eli starts to say something but gives up, knowing he'll be interrupted once again. Grace kisses Eli softly on the mouth and then pulls off her nightgown. Eli reaches out to touch her shoulder but Grace takes hold of his hand and kisses it softly.

"I love you, Eli," she murmurs and places her hand on his face and kisses him once again.

Eli pulls her in towards him and places his arms around her. Grace buries her head into his shoulders and breaths in his smell. She kisses his shoulder and continues up his neck. Eli closes his eyes and kisses Grace's neck and then grabs her legs and pulls them up around his waist.

Grace kisses Eli softly on the nose and pushes him so that he is lying on his back.

"Babe, what are you doing?"

"Playing out my fantasies," she whispers and winks.

Eli smirks as Grace places her fingers on his eye lids and shuts them. She lies on top of him and covers his face with little kisses and she watches as he begins to relax.

"I could get used to this," he murmurs.

Grace continues to kiss along his neck, down to his chest and strokes his face softly. She kisses down further and reaches his penis. Eli squirms a little and Grace eases him by running her hand down his chest and takes hold of his penis. She leans down and kisses the tip and runs her hand slowly up and down. Eli moans softly and feels himself ease into the bed.

Grace lowers her mouth further down his penis and tightens her mouth. Eli gets a shock and breaths him, forcing Grace to tighten even more and move in closer. She runs her tongue up and down the sides and then pulls her mouth up and down as well. Grace's heart beat fastens with every movement and she feels her goose bumps starting to disappear and being replaced with beads of sweat. Eli places one hand on her back and the other one holds the top of his penis, running along it with Grace's mouth in front. Eli groans and Grace can't help but smile. She fastens the pace, up, down, up, down, up, down. Eli's breathing speeds up with every movement.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhh…." He moans.

Grace reaches the bottom of his penis and finally stops. She pulls her mouth away and spits into the bin beside the bed. Eli passes her a tissue and she wipes her mouth. She then moves up the bed so that her head is lying on Eli's chest. Eli pulls up the blanket and strokes her hair.

"I've got a gig tomorrow night. At the Zone."

"Yeah?"

Eli nods and kisses her on her forehead.

"Will you come?"

Grace raises her head and kisses Eli.

"Of course, bub."

Eli smiles and goes back to stroking her hair. Grace wraps her arm around his waist and starts to close her eyes.

"Sleep well, babe," he whispers and kisses her one last time before closing his eyes.

The next morning Eli and Grace walk into the kitchen, but Grace makes sure they walk in separately just in case someone notices. Eli smirks behind her back.

B/W Eli: I have to prove to her how serious I am. I want this to work.

ZOe is sitting at the table eating a bagel with peanut butter and is reading a book for school. Jessie is standing by the toaster, sipping a glass of orange juice and looking at nothing in particular. Grace walks over to Zoe and ruffles her hair.

"Hey Zoepoo."

Zoe looks up from her book and pretends to slap Grace on the arm. Grace pretends to be hurt and falls to the floor. Zoe and Eli crack up laughing. Jessie turns her attention to the other and smiles slightly.

"Good morning, guys," she beams.

"Hey Jess," Eli and Grace reply in unison.

Eli pours himself a cup of coffee and Grace hands him her mug. Rick walks into the room carrying the morning paper and a cup of coffee.

"So kids, what's on the agenda today?"

Jessie carries over a plate of toast and her orange juice over to the table.

"Um, I'm helping Tad with our science assignment. He's coming over later…"

Grace and Eli exchange glances and smirk. Jessie catches this exchange.

"Nothing's going on!"

"Sure, Jess, sure," Eli laughs.

Zoe gets up from the table and carries her dishes to the sink.

"Mum's taking me to buy ballet shoes."

"Right. Then you two are meeting me for lunch in town."

"Okidoke," replies Zoe as she walks to the door, "I'll get ready,"

Rick nods and waves her away.

Eli and Grace sit down at the table and start their breakfasts.

"What about you two?"

Eli exchanges a look with Rick and shakes his head.

"I've got soccer practice this afternoon and this morning Julie and I are going shopping."

"I, uh, can give you two a lift into town," offers Eli.

"Sure, thanks Eli."

Rick looks at Eli.

"Uh yeah, I've got rehearsals all day with the guys."

"Right, what time's the gig tonight, E?"

"About 8, but it'll probably be runnin' late."

Rick nods and then gets up from the table.

"Well, I'll leave you two uh…and see you guys later."

Rick leaves the room. Grace looks at Eli.

"Do you think he knows?"

Eli looks at the doorway then back at Grace.

"Dad? Nah, he's got no idea," shrugs Eli.

Grace finishes off her toast, takes a last gulp of coffee and leans over to Eli and kisses him quickly on the cheek.

"I'll be twenty minutes, then we'll go, ok?"

Eli nods and waves her away. He turns his head to the newspaper and Grace leaves the room. She crosses paths with Lilly and they kiss each other good morning.

"Good morning, Eli."

"Hey Lilly."

Eli flicks over the page and sips his coffee.

"So, all set for tonight?" asks Lilly as she pours herself a coffee.

"Yup. You're bringing Grace, right?"

Lilly nods.

"I hope it works out, Eli," Lilly smiles.

Eli goes a little red and smiles. He gets up from the table and walks to the doorway.

"It better," he states as he leaves the room.

Lilly watches him for a while and then turns to look at the newspaper.
