Chapter 1750
"Audrey woke up with a start, her heart pounding, covered in cold sweat.
'Audrey, what's wrong?' Grace turned over and asked softly, 'Did you have a nightmare?'
'Yeah,' Audrey, still shaken, instinctively grabbed Grace's hand. The dream was too terrifying, but she was grateful not to be alone.
'It's okay, I'm here.' Grace felt Audrey's sweaty palms and trembling body. She realized it was a nightmare and gently patted her back to calm her down. 'What did you dream about? You're sweating a lot.'
'I don't remember, but it was really scary,' Audrey hesitated to tell Grace the details of the dream. 'It felt like something was chasing me.'
'Maybe you're not used to sleeping in a different place,' Grace chuckled. 'Many people feel that way. How about I hold you while you sleep so you can feel more at ease?'
Audrey felt a bit embarrassed, but Grace didn't hesitate to embrace her. Sensing Audrey's tension, Grace teased, 'What are you afraid of? I'm not a man. Are you worried I'll take advantage of you? Have you never been held like this before?'
'Not really, it's just unfamiliar.'
Audrey blushed. Although she had lived with Vanessa and Kimberly before, they had never slept like this. It felt a bit strange, but she knew that women and men were different. Men holding each other like this would be abnormal, but women often playfully touch and hug each other as a way of expressing affection, just like Grace and Alissa did before. Of course, only close relationships would do this.
Soon, Audrey felt comforted being held by Grace. After running on the hill and dealing with Finn all day, she was exhausted. She relaxed completely and fell back asleep quickly.
Grace held Audrey's delicate body, admiring her beauty. Sleeping Audrey looked like a sleeping beauty, captivating and ethereal. Her enchanting demeanor evoked a protective instinct in anyone, even Grace found herself a bit infatuated. She couldn't help but think about how men, like Kevin, would struggle to resist such allure.
Looking at Audrey's prominent breasts straining against her torn shirt, Grace couldn't resist her curiosity. Despite Audrey's petite frame, how did she have such large breasts? Grace reached out to touch them, but found them firm and elusive. She slid her hand into Audrey's nightgown, cupping the full, firm breasts, confirming their size. Comparing them to her C-cup breasts, Grace felt a twinge of insecurity. Men liked big breasts, and both Alissa and Audrey had larger ones. Would Kevin find her small breasts unappealing?
Grace pondered the situation. If their relationship became public, Audrey would surely be the center of attention. Grace could only compete with Alissa for second place. Alissa, despite not being as attractive as Grace, had larger breasts and a closer relationship with Audrey. Feeling a sense of urgency, Grace decided she needed to get closer to Audrey and leverage her strengths to keep Kevin interested. With Kevin coming to stay at her house, Grace saw an opportunity to introduce some excitement into their relationship. Men liked novelty and excitement, and Grace was determined to satisfy Kevin in ways Alissa and Audrey couldn't.
The next morning, Alissa woke up to find Grace and Audrey embracing each other. Grace's long, shapely thigh pressed against Audrey's buttocks, her hand on Audrey's fragrant shoulder. Their breasts were pressed together, forming an enticing oval shape.
Alissa shook her head in resignation, then had a mischievous idea. She picked up her phone, took a picture of Grace and Audrey cuddling in bed, and sent it to Kevin. Kevin was always thinking about a foursome, so she decided to tease him a bit.
In Harmony County, at Audrey's house, Kevin was still half asleep when he heard his phone beep. He picked it up and saw the image on the screen, instantly wide awake. His eyes widened, his blood boiling, and his cock stiffened with morning arousal.
Grace and Audrey were sleeping together, and Alissa had taken a picture. What had the three of them done last night? Kevin's mind raced with lascivious thoughts, regretting not joining them at the Egret Hot Springs Hotel. Maybe he would have already experienced a foursome.
He quickly messaged Alissa, asking for an explanation.
"Kevin, feeling excited?" Alissa teased, intentionally keeping Kevin in suspense.
"Alissa, what's going on? Could it be that Audrey knows about Grace and me?" Kevin suddenly thought of a possibility, his face turning pale. Knowing Audrey's personality, even if she found out, she wouldn't accept it so calmly and still be sleeping with Grace.
"How could that be? Don't worry about it, Kevin. Grace and I will figure it out. Just wait."
"Alissa, when are you coming back? I miss you."
Kevin knew he couldn't rush the foursome situation, but the thought of being in bed with Grace, Audrey, and Alissa for a group encounter excited him. After all, it would be his first foursome experience.
"Miss me? Or miss Audrey and Grace?" Alissa's tone carried a hint of jealousy. In the trio, she felt inferior to Grace and Audrey in many aspects. She couldn't help but feel insecure. She knew she wasn't on the same level as Grace and Audrey, and even Kimberly had more charm than her.
"Alissa, I miss you. Without you, I wouldn't be with Audrey. You'll always be my favorite teacher!"
Seeing Kevin's heartfelt confession, Alissa's eyes welled up. She wondered how Kevin had become so sentimental, almost making her cry.
After a while, Audrey and Grace woke up, finding themselves in each other's arms. Audrey felt a bit embarrassed, but Grace cheerfully said, "Audrey, it was quite comfortable sleeping like that. How about we continue this in the future?"
Audrey blushed, but after being held by Grace last night, she hadn't had any nightmares and slept soundly. Having such a strong woman by her side made her feel safe.
"Alright, you two, hurry up and change, let's get ready for breakfast. Kimberly and her husband will be here soon," Alissa said with a smile. They had planned to go skiing together today.
The three of them went downstairs to have breakfast, checked out at the front desk, and as they stepped outside the lobby, Grant pulled up in his car. Kimberly waved at them from the passenger seat, inviting Alissa and the others to join them. They were heading to a nearby ski resort, where Grant had already arranged tickets. Being a government official in West Stream Town, businesses there were always willing to help him out.
"Grant, thank you so much for these past few days. You've been so helpful, driving us around and getting the tickets," Alissa said with a smile. "Kimberly, I'll pay you back for the tickets later."
"Alissa, no need," Kimberly smiled gently. "Grant is friends with the ski resort owner. You don't have to pay. We can enjoy all the facilities inside without any time restrictions."
Grant, in his casual manner, said, "Don't be polite with Kimberly. When we're in Westbrook Village, it's my jurisdiction. If you or your friends want to come over in the future, just give me a call. I'll make sure you have a great time."
Grant was no longer the rookie he once was. Although he was just a minor official and didn't hold prestigious positions like the mayor, being dispatched by a higher administrative unit had elevated his status. Armando paid close attention to West Stream Town, visiting frequently for inspections, with Grant always accompanying him. He was now under Armando's scrutiny and had the potential to become a senior official. In a small town like Harmony County, reaching the rank of a senior official was the pinnacle of achievement for ordinary people.
Alissa watched Grant confidently and thought about her underachieving husband. Comparing herself to Kimberly, who had always been low-key at school, Alissa couldn't help but feel inadequate. Kimberly was diligent and modest, focusing on her work, and although she held a junior position, it was clear that the three of them were no match for Kimberly. For women, finding a good man was more important than anything else.
Audrey also felt uneasy. She and Kimberly were similar in many ways, with the only difference being their husbands. In reality, Jason's abilities weren't much inferior to Grant's. If they had stayed in Harmony County to develop, perhaps Jason would have already made a name for himself. Sometimes, the gap between people was created by seemingly insignificant choices made over time.
Soon, Grant drove them to a nearby ski resort. The staff recognized his car and let them in without any questions.
They got out of the car, looking at the snow-covered ski slopes, breathing in the crisp air, feeling invigorated. They all picked up their skiing equipment, but since Audrey and the others were first-time skiers, Grant arranged for some one-on-one ski instructors for them.
Audrey was surprised to see her ski instructor—it was Abel!
