He was walking her up the stairs to her apartment after dropping Ida and Hannah off at home. When they got in her apartment she turned to him and hugged him. “You have such a nice family, Jackson. I hope you get to meet my parents soon. Even Bill and Flo are coming around to us dating. I know my mom and dad would love you.”
“I’d love that, baby. They sure raised a beautiful woman, inside and out,” he said, kissing her cheek and nipping her earlobe, making her giggle. “Ida and Hannah both love you already.”
Hannah couldn’t stand Kelly’s need to always be the center of attention and Ida was barely civil to her, knowing of her wild reputation with the men in town. He sat at dinner holding Grace’s hand and saw the approval in his family’s eyes that he was dating Grace. Grace was warm, friendly, and genuine. Ida had already warned him to treat Grace with respect or she’d take a broom handle to him. He had assured Ida that he truly cared about Grace and would never play games with her. His feelings for her were not casual, and that was scary because she had the power to break his heart completely and permanently. With Grace the feelings he had went deeper than he had ever felt before. It was scary yet he felt like he was flying without wings when he had Grace in his arms.
He made sure the door was locked and led her to the bedroom. She always left a small light on. He took off her dress, leaving her standing in her purple bra and undies. She stood proudly in front of him no longer trying to cover her scar immediately with her hands. He hated the fact that she was hurt but it didn’t take away from her beauty and he was finally convincing her of that.
“I had a good time tonight but all I thought about through dinner was getting you naked and hoping my aunt couldn’t read my thoughts or she’d slap me for sure.” He smiled, removing her bra and cupping her full breasts in his hands, pulling on her nipples, knowing she loved when he did that. “And I wanted to nibble on these beautiful berries.”
Grace shivered at his touch and teased him. “And here I thought that hungry gleam in your eyes was for the steak you ordered.” She ran her hands up and down his hard muscular chest. She unbuttoned his jeans and inserted her hand down his jeans, cupping his erection with her hand, making him close his eyes and moan in pleasure.
“You are a witch, Grace, teasing me like that,” he whispered, loving her boldness and new found confidence in herself.
Grace got on her knees and slid his jeans and boxers down his legs, freeing his big, hard shaft out of his boxers. “Who’s teasing, big boy?”
She stuck out her tongue and licked his already-hard cock softly and lovingly, making shivers go through his body. “You are. Suck me harder now,” he demanded and she smiled seductively up at him and took him completely in her mouth, still looking up at him, seeing him stare at her with eyes filled with desire.
Responding to his demanding voice, Grace took his cock into her mouth going as deep as possible. She stroked his balls in her hand. After a few moments he couldn’t take the torture of what her mouth was doing to him. He pulled her up, running his fingers over her lush pink lips. He gently laid her down on the bed and felt how wet she was with his fingers. He used his fingers and played with her clit until she was sobbing with mindless pleasure and whispering his name over and over. He put her legs over his arms to get better control and dove into her warmth, feeling like he was home. “This is my idea of heaven, Grace. I always feel like I am flying when we’re together. I don’t want to come down from here.”
Grace smiled and reached up to caress his face lovingly, clenching his cock tightly with her vaginal muscles, making him groan. That was becoming her favorite sound. “Me, too, my sexy cowboy. I never want this feeling to end.”
Knowing she was feeling the same as him heightened his excitement. He thrust hard into her pussy a few more times before climaxing hard and letting out a satisfied sigh.
“I swear you’re going to kill me with pleasure, Grace, but what a way to go.” Jackson laughed kissing her temple and snuggling with her.

Grace walked to work the next morning with a smile and turned toward the café and bumped into a very angry-looking Kelly standing on the sidewalk waiting for her.
“You got me fired, you bitch!” Kelly yelled at her with her hands on her hips and looking angry.
Grace stepped back in shock. “Whoa. I had nothing to do with that. Blame your bad attitude and making Jane cry.”
Kelly was too angry to listen. “First you steal my boyfriend and now my job. But you’ll get yours.”
“Are you threatening me?” Grace asked, feeling fed up. “You need to grow up and face reality, Kelly. Jackson is no longer yours because you chose Eddie over him. That is no one’s fault but your own!”
Just then a very grouchy-looking Eddie pulled up and beeped the horn at Kelly, not even bothering to get out of the car. “Watch your back.” Kelly hissed and got in the car with Eddie, giving Grace a vindictive look.
Grace shook her head, determined not to let Kelly ruin her good mood, and went inside the restaurant. Lisa, one of the new girls was working the morning shift with Grace. Sammie, the second new girl, would be working afternoons with Jane. Lisa was married and had a three-year-old boy. She was quick to learn the routine and friendly with the customers. She was young and pretty, with short brown hair and a warm smile.
The day passed smoothly without the usual tension Kelly had brought with her, but Grace’s mind stayed on Jackson. It was scary to feel this much emotion again. She had never felt this strongly for James and it had still hurt her when she caught him cheating. If Jackson hurt her it would devastate her. But she couldn’t stop living life and taking risks because she was afraid. Jackson made her want to try and move on with life. She just had to remind herself not to worry s
o much.
Grace ended up working extra hours to help the two new girls get trained. Lisa and Sammie were both young and energetic and would do well there. It would be nice to work in a friendly environment and not a hostile one. But at the end of the day she was exhausted and went upstairs to call Jackson before she headed to bed. Hannah answered and told her that Jackson was at Randy’s. Grace was surprised. “I thought he stopped drinking?”
Hannah sighed, sounding sad. “I know, me too. He was being very evasive when Ida asked him why he was going there. He said he was meeting someone and promised not to drink.”
“Hmm. Well, I’m sure it’ll be okay, Hannah. We have to trust him. Tell him I called.” She was disappointed that she didn’t get to talk to Jackson but she was too tired to stay awake and wait for his call. Tomorrow was going to be another long work day.
As soon as she walked into work the next morning she could tell by Flo’s face that something was seriously wrong.
“What it is, Flo? Are my parents okay?” Grace asked, her voice shaking with fear.
Flo nodded but hugged Grace tightly. “I hate to have to tell you this, honey, but James escaped this morning and is on the run.”
“How?” Grace asked, shivering in fear. This couldn’t be for real. Maybe she was dreaming again. Things were finally getting better for her.
