I'm enjoying the progress of the story and I am really looking forward to the next update. Is it possible to find another verb to use besides "grope"? The way the term is often used sometimes comes of as rather crude, clumsy or inexperienced, although I doubt that is your intention. This may be due to cultural or regional differences in languages. Words don't always carry the same connotation even when the same language is used (as is often found between England and the United States). Perhaps other verbs like, "caress", "fondle", "stroke", or "rub" could be used to add variety to the described action. (Most women I know would rather be caressed than groped.)
