Something small to start

The session had all but wrapped up by this point and you doubted that you would be able to get any more seconds if you didn’t take a leap of faith. Grace stood quite close to you and without getting bogged down by your own intrusive thoughts, you decided to just try and hug her to start with.

It seemed like a good starting point for now and it didn’t seem romantic enough that she might think you were trying anything. Grace was in the middle of finishing off the sports drink she had prepared beforehand and when she turned to face you, wrapped your arms around her and rested your head on the crook of her neck. There was silence as her arms stayed held out before she reciprocated and gently held you back.

“...What was that for?” she asked, sounding more curious than anything else.

“Sorry I’m just really happy you actually considered giving me a job and it's just… no nevermind” you replied, leaning back slightly to look her in the eye and feeling glad that she hadn’t immediately pushed you away.

“Go on, I've already given you a job so you might as well carry on” she joked.

“Well, I’m pretty sure we both know what me and Emma did when I dropped her off yesterday” you said, getting a dry chuckle from Grace as you both remembered the kiss before you carried on speaking.

“I was so nervous that I almost chickened out so… I’ve been thinking about ways to overcome that feeling and this was one of them” you explained, trying to set something up without sounding like you were asking for another favour.

“And hugging me was your idea?” Grace asked.

“Hugging people in general. Not strangers mind you, just being friendlier with the people I’m close to. Sorry if it was a bit sudden” you answered, loosening your hug slightly with an apology.

“No it's more than fine. You just surprised me for a second” Grace replied, tightening her own arms around you and you happily let her do so.

A comfortable silence fell over you this time as you held each other. You thought about lowering your hands down to her ass and although tempting, you held off for now. Instead, you stopped at the bottom of her tank top before raising them slightly to touch the small of her back, placing your hands under her top in the process. Grace made no comments as you did so and you enjoyed the feeling of her bare skin coupled with her tits being sandwiched against your chest.

You didn’t want to let go but eventually, you reached the natural endpoint and you both separated from each other. You took a step backwards away from her in the process and saw that one of the straps on Grace’s top had somehow slipped during your hug and one of her nipples was now exposed. Your wide-eyed stare alerted Grace pretty quickly as she looked down and noticed her predicament before readjusting her top with a bright red face.

“Sorry I didn’t realise and…” she apologised, nearly stumbling over her words before you stopped her.

“Trust me there's no need to say sorry. I’ll just take it as a reward for getting through your training” you teased, getting a sheepish smile from Grace.

“Just don’t start expecting something like this in the future” she teased back, happy that you weren’t making a big deal out of it.

“Ah damn it, I should have taken a picture” you joked in mock anger, shaking your fist to try and further lighten the mood.

Grace still seemed to be a little embarrassed so you took that as a cue to leave and said your goodbyes. You took the same route back and made your way into your backyard before slowly opening the backdoor to the kitchen and making your way inside. You turned back to the door and once again gripped the handle to avoid any extra noise and shut it behind you with a sigh.

A quick look at the clock in the kitchen showed that it was only a few minutes after the usual time that you would wake up, so you would still be able to get to school with time to spare. You were about to turn and sneak back upstairs when a very deliberate cough rang out behind you. Turning to face the noise brought you face to face with your mother who was standing there with her arms crossed. From the looks of the full breakfast on the table next to her, it looked like you had managed to come back just as she was sitting down to eat. She stared at you with a tense look before taking a quick look around to make sure it was just the two of you around.

“And where have you been?” she asked, giving you no chance to run away without deliberately ignoring her.

“I went to get some exercise” you replied.

“You, exercise?” Mom asked back with a hint of surprise, looking less wary now that you had started talking to her.

“Yeah I went for a run, is there a problem with that?” you lied, pushing the question back onto her.

“No it's just a surprise that's all. Sarah, I’d maybe expect but you're really the type to go on a run '' Mom said, still not quite believing you.

“Well I’m planning on changing. You should have already guessed that from the meeting yesterday though” you admitted, getting no comeback from Mom after that.

You walked up to her and although she looked hesitant you gave her a hug, admiring the curves that you could feel against you before she lightly tried to push you away.

“Okay now I believe you, you should probably go take a shower before you leave for school” Mom suggested, making you realise that the workout with Grace probably hadn’t left you smelling the best. You thought about purposefully rubbing yourself against her just to annoy her but you decided against it. That didn’t mean you were against teasing her though.

“Alright fine. Care to join me?” you offered, wiggling your eyebrows and moving your hands to rest on her ass.

Mom only seemed to tut at you and the fact that she didn’t start shouting at you or get nervous at the suggestion meant that your behavior was becoming normalised to her. You let her go with a light pat on the ass and headed to the stairs. A quick look back revealed that she was watching you as you left but as soon as your eyes met she averted her gaze and finally started eating her breakfast. You went up after turning back around and heard the shower already running, assuming that Sarah had gotten up earlier than usual. Maybe yesterday's earlier activities had left her with a good night's rest.

You chuckled to yourself at the idea and thought about joining her but you wanted to check the KDK while you still had the chance. If she was still in the shower when you were finished then you would definitely take the opportunity to hop in with her.

You stripped off your t-shirt and threw it into the nearly overflowing washing basket before sitting down on your bed as you reached for your phone. The time on the front screen showed you were still on schedule and you quickly checked to see if a notification was waiting for you.
