I'm Lost......

Ryder groaned and chuckled, opening his eyes. "Well hello."

Jess smiled, hiding his tiredness as they finally reached the top of the path. He set her down and led her to the rail that over looked the waterfalls.

Grace was speechless, amazed at the beauty of the waterfalls.

Lana chuckled and laid down on top.of him, her back to his chest. She tilted her head to give him a teasing kiss. "Hello."

Jess smiled and held her close, wondering how he was going to make it back down the trail.

Ryder chuckled and kissed her back. "How long do you think they'll sleep?"

Lana grinned, "A couple hours at least with all the running around they've been doing..."

Grace smiled and leaned against him. "What if you didn't have to die Jess. What if you could stay here, even if it was without me?"

Jess watched the waterfall and sighed. "I wouldn't enjoy it. Not if it was without you."

Ryder chuckled and smiled. "What do you want to do since we have a little free time?"

Grace turned to him, her eyes begging him to change his mind. "Are you sure? I would be happy knowing you're alive....."

Lana gave him another kiss as the answer.

Ryder kissed her back, both of them appearing on their bed.

Jess looked down at her and sighed. "But without you there is no light in my life. No reason to be alive. I'd rather be dead and with you, than alive and without."

Grace couldn't help it. She started crying.

Lana rolled so he was over her, and let the kiss get deeper.

Ryder kissed her back, stripping her of her clothes and letting his hands wander.

Jess held her close. "Grace, what's wrong?" He asked confused.

Grace didn't answer, the tears streaming down her cheeks. She DD the right thing, right? She didn't want him to die.....

Lana soon had him stripped of his clothing as well, the kisses sending a fire through her body that she had to quench.

Ryder kissed her deeply as he pressed his body to hers and became entangled in her.

Jess tried his best to comfort her, rubbing her back gently. Was it something he said?

Lana was drunk with pleasure.

Grace quieted eventually. What was she going. To do?

Jess sighed, "Are you alright? Did I say something wrong?" His arms were still wrapped around her.

Ryder slowed for a moment, only to pick back up again. They hadn't done anything like this for months and he had been desperately craving her. Needing her.

Herbody on fire from the burning need for him she managed to say in a breathy whisper, "I've missed this, love you Ryder.

"I love you." Ryder managed between kisses, only stopping when he couldn't go any more.

Lana curled up against him pulling the covers over them.

Grace flinched, "No! Nothing you said."

Ryder smiled and burried his face in her stomach.

Jess looked down at her, concern filling his face. "Then what is it Grace?"

((Getting off for about 30 sry.))

Grace grimaced, "What if I said you weren't going to die."

Jess looked down at her. "What do you mean?"

Grace was quiet for a moment, "I....made a deal."

Jess watched her carefully. "What kind of deal? With who?"

Grace ignored the first part of the question. "With the angel watching me."

Jess watched her. "What was the deal?" he asked, though he already had a good idea of what it was about after her reaction to him saying he'd rather die.
