Grant had a nice weekend in Virginia getting to spend time with his family but of course it was way too short for his liking. It was never enough time with them, especially since he didn't get to see them often but he was glad that he got some one on one time with his mom, dad, sister and even his grandpa. It was very much needed especially after the therapy session that was still weighing heavily on his mind. He had told Danielle about most of it, but he still hadn't told her the one thing that was bothering him most about the session and knew he'd try to bring it up once seeing her in person. It was a long flight back to Vancouver and by the time he was home it was night time and he was sure Danielle was home already since her flight was definitely faster. Getting a ride back to their place, Grant thanked his driver and grabbed his bags, walking into the house and taking his shoes off. Grinning as the dogs came run towards him just as he predicted, Grant kneeled down and hugged them both, giving them kisses and attention. "Hey guys, I missed you," he murmured, petting them for a few moments before standing up. "Where's Mommy?" He asked, grabbing his bags to walk upstairs and put them in his room. "Babe?" He called out while he did so.

Danielle had come home from Los Angeles in record time. After finishing up with the charity work out session, she came home and showered, saying goodbye to her sister at this point. Spending time with Kay had been a blessing, and she loved the time that she had with her sister, but now as she came home back to Vancouver, she started on finishing up the chores that she left undone earlier that week. She started washing the various dishes and then throwing out all of the expired food that they didn’t eat; and it wasn’t long after that that she started unpacking and doing the laundry. Once that was done, and she finally felt okay enough to go into the guest bedroom and strip the sheets, Grant’s voice broke her out of her actions and she swung the door open to be able to greet him. “Tommy”, she whispered out, wide smile on her lips as she ran towards him. Her feet braced her and she jumped gently enough to throw her arms around her boyfriend in a complete hug. “You’re here. You’re home.”

Grant smiled wide when he heard Danielle's voice, hearing her come out of the bedroom. Dropping his bags just in time as she ran towards him, Grant grinned and caught her in his arms as she jumped up at him. Wrapping his arms around her tightly, Grant felt her wrap her legs around his waist which caused him to smile even wider. "Hi baby," he whispered, burying his face in the crook of her neck. "I am, I missed you," he murmured, kissing the bare skin of her neck as he rested his face there. Carrying her into their bedroom, Grant placed her on the bed and laid on top of her, pressing a kiss to her lips gently. "What were you doing in the guest room?"

Danielle wrapped her legs around her boyfriend and buried her head into the crook of his neck. Finally, they were able to just touch each other and be in each other’s presence with nothing blocking or standing in their way. “Hi”, she whispered out to reply to his greeting, burying her hand into his hair and just clinging to him as best as she could. She smiled up at him when he placed her on their bed, hands cupping his face and returning his kiss completely. Finally, she had been able to get just a small taste of him. “I was finishing up on chores, cleaning up before you got home”, she confessed out into the kiss, mumbling her words. “You came home earlier than I thought.”

Grant kissed Danielle again when she cupped his cheeks, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Listening as she spoke, Grant nodded and smiled softly, resting comfortable against her. "Yeah, well I knew it was gonna be a long flight and I missed you. So I went to the arcade with Gracie for an hour or so and then I came home to you," he smiled, rolling off of Danielle so that he could hold her in his arms. "How was the charity event?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her.

Danielle smiled up at Grant wide when he started about his day and hummed when she thought of both he and Gracie interacting as such. “Did you win”, she asked of him, her tone of voice quiet and full of joy about the siblings interacting. Her body turned to face him when he rolled off of her, propping her head up with her elbow and laying her hand on his chest to be able to just touch him. The charity event was quick and effortless, just a work out session for a few hours to help raise awareness for the charity. “My legs are sore”, she told him truthfully, using the stair master and climber for god knows how long. “Other than that, we raised a lot of money for Unicef and I’m happy about it.” She paused for a little bit, licking her lips as she locked eyes with Grant. “So would you say your week in Virginia was a success?”

Grant smirked and shook his head. "No, she beat me. I guess my air hockey days really are over," he teased, listening as she spoke about her charity event. "I'm sorry babe, you should take a bath, I'm sure the hot water would help," he suggested while shrugging, wrapping an arm around her hip and running his fingers against it gently. When she brought up his weekend in Virginia, Grant let out a sigh and nodded. "Yeah, I would say so. I mean I got a lot of family time and I guess the reason I went ended up working out," he said, smiling slightly. Clearing his throat, Grant laid on his back and stared at the ceiling for a few moments, swallowing hard as he thought about bringing up what he had wanted to tell Danielle but afraid of the conversation it would lead to.

Danielle tilted her head up to face Grant when he rolled away from her, pressing her lips together. Maybe she had said something that wasn’t ideal and it brought out bad memories; but it was her curiosity that was taking over her at this point. “I didn’t mean to push”, she spoke out to him then, whispering her words as she started tracing small patterns on his chest. “I’m still just so happy that you got to spend time with your family. I know you don’t get to see them often and it’s always a treat when you can see them.”

Grant pursed his lips as Danielle said she didn't mean to push, still staring up at the ceiling as he felt her hand against his chest. Nodding as she spoke, Grant was glad that he was able to spend time with his family too, not getting the chance like he used to. "Yeah," he replied quietly, running a hand through his hair before looking down at his hands. "It's not really that, though. I mean you didn't push. There's just something I haven't told you yet," he said quietly, not being able to look her in the eyes. "Right before my session was over, Dr. Rose said something about...prescribing me medicine, if none of these things worked or if I was still struggling with certain stuff," he mumbled, blinking a few times and shaking his head. "I don't...I can't..." He trailed off.

Danielle looked at Grant with a confused expression on her face. She didn’t even realize that he had been keeping something from her and she sat up to listen to him. Medication? That would only be drastic measures and to help him cope, but judging by his reaction to the thought, she shook her head along with him and started out trying to soothe him. “Hey, hey. It’s okay”, she said as she reached out for him, licking her lips slowly. “It’s not going to come to that, okay? If you don’t want it to come to that, it’s not going to come to that.” But medication wouldn’t be a bad thing, just a low enhancer to help him cope; however, there were some people that believed there shouldn’t be anything to do inhibit them. “Did she tell you just how it’d help or just tell you flat out that she might give it you?”

Grant took a deep breath and buried his face in Danielle's chest, trying to listen to her soothe him. He knew she was right and ultimately it was his choice if he wanted to take the medicine or not but just the thought of it had him worried, especially if his therapist was suggesting it. "She didn't really say. She just said that if all else fails, it was an option that would obviously work, I guess," he whispered against her, pulling away slightly. "But I just...don't want to. I don't want to have to take a pill to change how I'm feeling. It's like it wouldn't even be me. And to have to do that in the first place..." He whispered, shaking his head. "It would just make me feel weak."

Danielle wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s frame at this point, burying one hand in his hair and the other rubbing his back. What Grant had said had been understandable, considering that that was what the medication would end up doing. She’d have to do research in order to make sure that the medicine was going to do as it sad; but Grant’s reaction instilled in her that this wasn’t going to be a scenario. “Then we’ll concentrate on helping you get better without it”, she said firmly. “You’re not going to be weak for taking help. It’s not going to make you seem weak. If anything, you’ll be much stronger for it.” The brunette brought her head down and pressed her lips to the top of her boyfriend’s head. “I promise you. I can try and help you so it doesn’t have to come to it. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”

Grant closed his eyes and relaxed against his girlfriend, listening as she said they'd help him get better without the medicine. Swallowing hard, Grant nodded against her chest and let out a soft sigh as she said it didn't make him weak. He still felt that way, feeling like he should be over this by now and moving on with his life but it was harder than he ever thought it would be. Feeling better when she said he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to, he pulled away slightly to look at her. "Thank you," he whispered, nuzzling his face against her chest again as he held her tightly. "I just hope it doesn't have to come to that," he whispered shakily, blinking back a few tears as he rubbed his face against her shirt.

Danielle looked down and licked her lips at Grant, her heart aching for him for having to go through his. Ultimately, this would have to be something that they’d have to get through together; but it didn’t meant that he had to seem was in order to get help. She’d vow that she’d spend so much just to be able to show him. “It won’t”, she told him again firmly, bringing her head down to press her lips to the top of his head again. “You’re going to be fine because you’re so much stronger than this. I have so much faith in you, my darling.” Evidently, her fingers started raking against his shoulders now, trying to make small movements just to distract him.

Grant sniffled and closed his eyes tightly, tears rolling down his cheeks as Danielle kept him close. He felt her kiss the top of his head and everything she was doing was soothing him, glad that he had her through all of this and decided to tell her about it. When she said she had so much faith in him, Grant smiled softly against her chest, rubbing his face against her shirt to wipe the tears away before speaking. "Thank you. You're making this so much easier, seriously. I don't know what I'd do without you," he whispered, gripping her shirt tighter to keep her close to him. Leaning up to stare into her eyes, Grant moved closer so that he could kiss her passionately, wanting to show her just how much he appreciated what she was doing and how much he loved her.

Danielle let out a soft hum when he nuzzled his face into her shirt, continuing moving her hands against his shoulders in the same fashion that she had done earlier. It was just something that felt natural to her, staying by his side no matter what happened—for better or for worse, she loved this man, loved him with every fiber of her being, and she’d always stand by his side no matter the cost. “I’m here”, she said as she locked her own eyes with his, and then just as magnets, she moved with him in order to be able to reciprocate his actions. She returned his kiss, sighing through her nose, and humming through the kiss to show her content. Her head tilted to deepen it, brushing her nose against his and moving so slow against him. “I love you”, she mumbled through the kiss. “I love you so much.”

Grant smiled against Danielle's lips when she said she was here, needing her now more than ever. They both needed to reconnect like this, not having the proper time to do so in a while and now that they were both together, Grant wanted to show her how much she meant to him. "I love you too," he whispered, pressing light kisses to her chin and then across her jawline, reaching her ear and sucking on the skin right below it. Running a hand through her hair gently, Grant started kissing her neck, one hand moving down to grip her shirt in his fist, slowly sliding it up her body to expose her bare torso. Pulling away slightly so that he could pull the shirt up over her head, Grant bit down on his bottom lip as he stared her body. "You're so beautiful," he whispered, staring into her eyes lovingly.

Danielle moved her head in order to give Grant the access that he wanted on her frame, eyes closing in order to focus more on the actions than anything at this point. Too long had they been away from each other as such, and she needed to be able to just connect with her boyfriend. Everything felt on fire and heated, but it was the emotion in his actions that got her the most. How he was taking his time with her brought anticipation and evoked so many emotions out of her as well. “I love you”, she whispered out, whining softly and moving to help him take off her shit. With his eyes boring in her, she became breathless, speechless. Nothing she could at this point could measure up to the love that she felt and radiated out. “Kiss me”, she whispered out at this point. “Please.”

Grant smiled as he stared at Danielle, listening intently as she said to kiss her. Leaning in to do just that, Grant cupped her cheek with one hand and started kissing her gently but also passionately, his free hand reaching out to cup her breast, smiling at the pleasant surprise of her not wearing a bra. As he kneaded it gently, Grant moved his position so that he was straddling her waist, getting more comfortable on top of her as he continued his movements. Slipping his tongue inside of her mouth, Grant moaned at the feeling of his tongue against his girlfriend's, moving it around and tasting her in the process. Beginning to buck his hips, Grant groaned at the clothing barrier between them, still enjoying the slight pleasure he was getting while he rocked.

Danielle , before Grant had brought his head down to kiss her again, had moved her hands quick to tug off the jacket and the shirt that he had on. Fingers raked against his chest for the moment before bringing them around to his back, letting them just dance and travel everywhere upon his frame. She needed to touch him, feel him, and she was going to sedate her own needs for it while doing so. Her fingers danced along his side, lingering on his tattoo while wrapping her legs around his waist at this point. Her chest arched into his hand, following his lead more so tonight rather then anything else, and rolled her tongue against his. she wanted to let him know that she was there, that she was real, and giving into him would be the way to do so. When he rocked his hips to hers, she let out of a soft moan through the kiss, and rocked hers in return. It was ease, with heavy breathing and heated movements, but it was ease to move with him to get the friction that she needed and elicit for her boyfriend as well. “Oh my god”, she whispered out at this point and broke the kiss, everything on edge and every movement on fire. Pants filled the air, though, and she moved to run her tongue against his jawline and neck, nipping and sucking at this specific point on his neck to mark him as hers.

Grant let out a soft moan as Danielle started matching his rhythm, both of them rocking against each other as they kissed. Leaning his head back as Danielle started running her tongue against his jawline, Grant let out another moan, feeling Danielle's hand underneath his shirt which made him realize he was still overly dressed. Pulling away slightly so that he could take his shirt off, Grant pulled it up over his head and tossed it to the floor, one hand reaching down to slide his sweatpants down his body, kicking them off his legs with his feet. Now in just his boxers, Grant started kissing Danielle's torso as he moved down her body, tugging on the yoga pants she was wearing so that she could take them off.

Danielle lifted her hips and broke her legs away from Grant’s waist in order to be able to help him take off her yoga pants. Her hands reached out for him afterwards, needing that friction once more, and let out a soft whine in order to do so; but she growled at the fact he started trailing his lips upon her body. The anticipation started building within her, thoughts circling to what he was going to do next, and she let out a moan into the air. “Oh my god”, she repeated her words, bringing her hand up to bite on her finger while her other hand went to her neck. Her hips rocked upward to him out of instinct, soft sighs falling out of her before bringing her finger out of her mouth and raking her hand against his hair.

Grant continued kissing down his girlfriend's body, hooking his fingers into her underwear once he was far enough down. Pulling them down her legs, Grant started pressing kisses to her hipbones teasingly, slowly moving down to one of her legs, his tongue running against her inner thigh. Moving closer to her center, Grant finally gave in and started sucking on her bundle of nerves, pressing a light kiss to them before moving his tongue in and out her wet folds. Humming at the taste, Grant placed his hands on Danielle's hips to sturdy her and himself, getting more comfortable in between his legs as she continued moving his tongue around.

Danielle lifted her hips up again at this point, rolling them against Grant’s mouth. A shaky sigh escaped her when his tongue rolled against her clit and the hand that laid on her neck trailed down her own frame to knead one of her breasts. Rhythmically, she moved against him, but when his hands were placed on her hips, she whined out gently and arched her chest in order to just relish in the pleasure that was washing over her. With her head tilted back and her legs pulled up to her chest to give him easier access to what they both craved, she whispered out her content, just how amazing it honestly felt when he ran his tongue against her. “So good to me”, she whispered out breathlessly. “You're just so good to me.”

Grant smiled against Danielle's skin as she started moaning and whining in pleasure, always loving that he had this effect on her. Just getting to see her like this and make her feel good was one of Grant's favorite parts of being with her. Danielle was amazing and deserved the best always which is why Grant always wanted to make her feel good and make her feel loved as much as he possibly could. When she spoke, Grant started quickening his tongue, moving it in a circular motion against her clit before sucking on it gently for a few moments. Moving one hand down to add into the mix, Grant pressed his thumb against her bundle of nerves while licking through her wet folds, trying to give his girlfriend as much pleasure as possible.

Danielle movements became sporadic underneath her boyfriend’s touch. Now with free reign, she was able to move against him, move with his hand and mouth to gain the most out of the friction. She was selfish in this aspect, wanting more just to be able to get towards that high. She was close, so deliciously close to her climax, and every part of her whined and writhed enough to be able to get it. “Please”, she begged out breathlessly as before. “Please”, she repeated again, just the same. But that was when her hips jerked and her legs wrapped around Grant’s head in reaction. Her climax came suddenly, every part of her contracting and retracting while her head was thrown back. “Oh my god”, she breathed out, biting down on her bottom lip and letting her hands go down to Grant’s head to pull him up towards her.

Grant continued his ministrations as Danielle begged for more, wanting to get her to come and make her reach her climax. Panting heavily against her skin as he kept moving his tongue, Grant hummed against her bundle of nerves to cause a vibration, sensing Danielle was close as she grabbed onto him tightly. When he felt her muscles contract against him, Grant continued moving his tongue so that she could ride out her orgasm, only pulling away when he felt Danielle grab at his head, immediately attaching his lips to hers and kissing her passionately, knowing she would taste herself while they kissed.

Danielle hungrily lapped up every bit of herself on Grant’s lips before returning the heated kiss. Though every part of her rang through, tingling sensations running through her completely, her hands moved against him to be able to touch him—feel him. She took his bottom lip in between her teeth to nip at it gently, sucking on it afterwards and concentrating on just being able to feed into him, give him something just to reciprocate and prove to him that he was all that she desired. Hands pulled down his underwear, and from the position on her back, she took his length in her hand and ran her fingers against the tip slowly. “I love you”, she whispered into the kiss and her actions.

Grant moaned against Danielle's mouth as he felt her nip at his bottom lip, Grant still moving his tongue against hers as they kissed passionately. Feeling her pull down his boxers, Grant kicked them off his legs and moaned again as he felt her hand against his hard length. As she ran her fingers over the tip, Grant squirmed slightly in pleasure, breathing out shakily as he closed his eyes at the feeling. "I love you too," he whispered against her lips before sucking on her upper lip gently. Wrapping his arms around her tightly, Grant made sure there wasn't any space between them, wanting to be as close to her as possible.

Danielle moved her hand against herself in order to coat it to get some sort of slick movement against Grant’s length. Her frame arched towards him when he pulled her to him, still pumping her hand against him slow. The overwhelming feeling on adoration and joy that enveloped her now just brought more conviction, fueling her to give him everything she could just to elicit more of those sounds from her boyfriend. After a few moments, moving and guiding him towards her center and brushing the tip of his length against her bundle of nerves.

Grant pursed his lips and moaned softly as Danielle moved her hand up and down his length. When she touched herself and then put her hand on his length, Grant moaned at the feeling, enjoying the slick movement and getting even more turned on just knowing that it was her wetness. Jaw dropping in pleasure, Grant arched his back and let out another moan, feeling Danielle guide the tip of his length against her bundle of nerves. Bucking his hips so that he entered her, Granted moaned at the feeling, going deeper until he was completely inside of her. "My favorite place to be," he whispered, burying his face in the crook of Danielle's neck as he started moving back and forth.

Danielle arched her frame when Grant entered her, a salacious laugh escaping once she heard his words. “Hell yes. It’s all for you”, she whispered out and dropped her jaw to be able to relish in their movements. Everything about them rocking against each other had felt right, felt absolutely perfect and whole, and the pleasure that came with it shook her to her core. With each thrust, she moaned into her boyfriend’s ear, nipping at the lobe once when their movements caused her to jerk slightly. All that together and she mumbling out just how good this actually felt to her started on bringing her towards that edge once more.

Grant moaned loudly as Danielle started nipping at his ear lobe, moaning each time he thrusted into her which only made him go faster. "I love when you do that," he mumbled, holding onto her shoulders for support as he continued. "Feels so fucking good," he whispered, panting against her neck as he kept up his pace. Each time he thrusted into her he tried to go harder and deeper just so she could feel as much pleasure as possible, Grant feeling an overwhelming amount at the same time. Building up to his orgasm, Grant moaned against Danielle's skin as he felt himself getting closer. "So good, baby. So good," he breathed out.

Danielle started panting against Grant’s ear now, hands now scratching against his back in order to have something to hold onto. Every rock, every movement that they created brought her closer to that edge and as quick and sudden as the one before her game, this one did the same. Her arms wrapped around her boyfriend and arched her frame upward towards him, holding onto him tight as she started to experience her second climax of the night. Every part of her shook, rocking to prolong the wave of ecstasy that rattled her—and it was all Grant’s doing. She moaned his name out loud, cried out to him to let him know that he was the only person that got her this way, that got all of her as such. “I love it”, she started speaking, her voice higher than usual because she was still reeling from everything, vision even blurring just a bit. “I love you.”

Grant groaned as he felt Danielle's nails raking against his back, his orgasm getting closer and closer as he continued bucking his hips. When he felt his climax right at the tip, Grant let go to experience all the pleasure at once, moaning Danielle's name while he did and listening as she reached her climax at the same time. As they both rode out their orgasms, Grant moaned over and over again, the pleasure taking over his body and making him feel amazing. "Fuck," he breathed out as he came down from his high. "I love you so much," he whispered, kissing her on the lips gently as he laid on top of her. Scratching at her collarbone gently as he laid against her chest, Grant laid there in a comfortable silence for a few moments before speaking up. "Wanna take a bath together?" He asked, knowing she had mentioned her legs were sore but had never answered him when he suggested it earlier.

Danielle let out a small, tired laugh at this point, content with just laying on their bed right now. She didn’t want to do anything, didn’t want to move and didn’t want to speak lest she break the afterglow that she was basking in. Every part of her had still been on edge and she just finally got her vision back to normal. Though, a bath would be kind of amazing at this point and she wouldn’t say no to one in general. All of their chores could be put off later. “If I can get up and move”, she whispered out to him, voice cracking because of how much she’d used it. “Though I really wouldn’t mind a glass of water—and showering would be great. I feel like I’m in a pile of sweat.” The small, tired laugh escaped her again, biting down on her bottom lip while she closed her eyes. “Can we have bubbles?”

Grant chuckled softly and shrugged. "You have a point, I'm pretty comfortable right now..." He said, not wanting to move in the slightest. As she started rambling about several different things, Grant laughed and shook his head. "Well okay, you need to pick one though. Bath or shower," he said, rolling off of Danielle which caused him to pull out of her, groaning and stretching out his body. "While you think about it, I'll get you some water. Hope the dogs don't mind my nakedness," he teased, licking his lips as he got up and went downstairs, too lazy to put clothes back on. Walking into the kitchen, Grant smirked as the dogs followed him, grabbing their box of treats and giving them each one before pouring Danielle a glass of water that he took a sip of. Making his way upstairs with the water, Grant smiled as the dogs started following him. "So, what did you decide? I brought company too," he teased as he handed her the glass.

Danielle hips jerked when Grant started moving, too sensitive to the touch. There were about a million thoughts that were running through her mind now and she honestly needed a little bit of relaxing. So when Grant went away downstairs for the water, the brunette cleared her throat and went into the bathroom. Already knowing where most of their bath stuff was, she started drawing the bath and moved back to their bedroom for clothes—and smiled when her boyfriend came back with water and the dogs. “Hi”, she said to them before taking large gulps of the water, sighing and taking his hand in hers. “Bath”, she whispered out to him, bringing her free hand to trace his nose gently. “I want to lay against you while getting clean. You owe me cuddles.”

Grant smiled as Danielle took the glass of water, squeezing her hand gently as she took it. Nodding when she decided on a bath, Grant grinned when she said he owed her cuddles. "That's right, I would rather a bath too. I get to hold you close and just relax," he whispered, kissing the side of her head gently. Following her into the bathroom, Grant smiled as he saw the tub practically full and with bubbles, Danielle getting a head start on it. Stepping inside and letting out a content sigh as the hot water soaked his body, Grant helped Danielle in the bath and wrapped his arms around her from behind, letting her settle in between his legs. "This is perfect," he murmured against the top of her head, pressing a light kiss there.

Danielle leaned to turn off the running water in the bath when Grant got into the tub. Only after doing so, she sank down to sit on him and laid her head on his chest in the water. Her back was pressed against his front, letting the aromas and the water soothe her muscles and lay content with just being with him in his arms. A small smile appeared on her lips to the top of her head, closing her eyes to bask in the moment. “Thank you for coming home to me”, she whispered out at this point, turning to press her lips into the arm that was around her.

Grant leaned his head back against the ledge of the bath tub, closing his eyes as he secured his arms around Danielle's body. It felt nice to be able to lay there with her and just relax after an emotionally exhausting weekend especially since it would be back to work tomorrow and all the chaos that came with that. "I'll always come home to you, baby," he whispered, kissing the side of her head gently. "It feels good to be relaxing like this. All we're missing is a bottle of wine," he smirked, his hand reaching out to rub her shoulder gently.

Danielle moved her hands about the water and let out a small laugh when Grant said they were missing alcohol, shaking her head no at the fact. They didn’t need it at this point, already working their way on just being together and connecting. She didn’t need anything else at this point then her guy with her. “I have you”, she whispered out to him, closing her eyes as she rubbed the arms that were around her. “You’re already intoxicating enough for me. You’re my wine.”

Grant smiled as Danielle said she had him, kissing her bare shoulder in response. "I'm your wine, huh? I take that as a huge compliment because I know how serious you are about your wine," he smirked, stretching his legs out and letting out a sigh. Laying there in the bath with Danielle had been just what he needed and the longer they stayed in there, the sleepier he got. "I might fall asleep in here if we keep this up," he murmured as he felt Danielle's hands against his arms, leaning forward to kiss the back of her neck gently.

Danielle nodded her head to confirm Grant’s teasing, but really more or less agreeing with him about falling asleep in the bath. Everything about was meant to soothe and it had done its job properly, but she felt as though she needed to get them both to bed with so much traveling they had both done today and how much they spent just being with each other. “We need to get you clean”, she started to speak, moving the water around their frames at this point to do as she said—get as clean as they could in the bath. “And then I need to get my man to bed so he can sleep.”

Grant pursed his lips and sat up slightly as Danielle said he needed to get cleaned so that he could sleep, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "My girl takes such good care of me," he whispered, running a hand through her hair gently. After getting clean, Grant slowly stood up and helped Danielle up as well, getting out of the tub and grabbing them both towels so that they could dry themselves off and get ready for bed. Walking to his dresser, Grant grabbed a pair of boxers and sweatpants along with one of his long sleeved shirts, getting dressed and crawling into bed where the dogs already are. "You guys better move down to your spot, Mommy won't be happy if you take her side," he smirked amusingly.

Danielle closed her eyes to the kiss on her forehead and leaned herself towards the other side of the tub to do as she said. Once she felt herself ready for bed and with Grant’s help, she was up and draining the tub with a towel around her waist. Sighing as she realized she had forgotten the clothes she had wanted to change into for bed, she walked out to the bedroom she shared with her boyfriend and started moving the dogs away. “You guys should wait until we both get in bed, goodness”, she said to the two of them and put on a pair of pajamas bottoms and a plain t-shirt. “Now you guys can get in bed”, she said to the dogs and laid herself beside her boyfriend.

Grant laughed as Danielle tried to get her spot back, making the dogs move to the bottom of the bed. "It's pretty late, I guess they were tired. Rough day for them, obviously," he teased, shaking his head. Pulling the covers up over them, Grant reached over to turn off the light before wrapping his arms around Danielle in a spooning position from behind. "Goodnight, baby," he whispered against her skin. "Thank you for being the most amazing, supportive girlfriend I could ever ask for. You make me so happy and make me feel like I can conquer anything, even the hardest things," he whispered, kissing her cheek. "I love you so much. Sweet dreams."
