I open my eyes slow, stretching my arms above my head as I wake. I know without calling out that you're not here. The house is too quiet without you here, too empty without your presence. I sit up in bed, and find the note that says you had a few things to clear up at the office, and would be back later this afternoon. It's my own fault you have to go into the office today. Yesterday I pulled you away from a project you were working on, but I don't think either of us regretted it.
I slide back down into bed, veering sideways slightly to lay my head on your pillow. I love the musky scent of your cologne that lingers even when you're not here. One hand drifts down my chest, my fingernails scraping lightly over my hardening nipples. How shall I wile away the hours till you get home? A smile curves my lips as I think back to yesterday, my hand drifting down my stomach..
*********************
"I want to go for a picnic."
You raise your eyes slowly from the monitor of your laptop, eyes darting to the window where a steady covering of gray clouds mar the promise of a lovely spring day. "A picnic? It's going to be raining soon."
I can't keep an excited grin off my face as I show you the treasure I found shopping. "I know, I know, but just look at it! We can't not use it."
You regard the wicker basket for a moment, then your eyes shift up to my face. "It's just a picnic basket. Unless it's Cinderella's pumpkin, it'll be there tomorrow or next weekend when its not raining."
"No. Now. Today. I want to go today. Right now."
Tiny frown lights appear in your forehead as you stare at me for a moment, trying to decide how serious I am, and if I'm serious, how easily you can get out of it. After a moment you sigh, apparently having decided from the set of my jaw that I must have this thing I want, which is a picnic in the rain. Youre a little annoyed, and you dont bother trying to hide it as you snap your laptop closed and go grab your jacket. I can hear you upstairs muttering about the project that I'm taking you away from, and a tiny grin flashes across my face. You don't know what I have planned, but I think the project will be the last thing on your mind.
On the road, I direct you to the state park about 15 minutes from the house. You complain that there's a park just down the street, but I turn up the radio and sing along, effectively ignoring your protests.
When we get there, the parking lot is deserted of all fellow picnickers and hikers (after all, what kind of nut goes to the park when it's raining?) You follow me as I lead to the spot I picked out a few weeks ago, with a situation such as this in mind. It's a small grassy clearing, just off the main trail, but it's enclosed by trees so unless you were specifically looking for the entrance off the trail, you wouldn't find it. Besides which, with the way the trail snakes into the hills, all sounds are magnified and we could hear anyone coming up. If it wasn't an overcast day with the constant threat of rain, I might worry that someone would hear us. On the other hand, the thrill of someone catching us makes my heart race a little faster with excitement, so maybe its not all just the weather that made me decide to pick this spot.
I spread the blanket down, and remove what I shoved in there while you were getting your jacket. A bottle of sparkling white wine, a box of crackers, some sliced cheese and a few slices of ham to make into little sandwichs. For desert, some fresh strawberries. You look over what I brought, and I can almost hear you thinking that it's a good thing you ate lunch a few hours ago.
We nibble on the snacks, and pass the bottle of wine back and forth (Oops. I forgot glasses) ad I joke you out of your bad mood. You know you can't stay angry at me, I'm too damn charming. We've been there about a half an hour when it begins to rain. Soft, light droplets that are almost warm. You quickly pull your jacket on and jump up, preparing to race back to the car, but I take my jacket off and slide off my shoes, stretching my arms up towards the sky as the rain transforms my white silk blouse transparent. You can clearly see my hardening nipples through my shirt, and it occurs to you that maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
It only takes me a few seconds to skim my jean skirt down over my hips, and then I'm standing there before you with the now-see through shirt, nipples straining against the fabric, and a tiny scrap of panties that I bought earlier this morning (before I happened upon the treasure of a picnic basket) You take a moment to examine me as I stand there before you, my hair plastered against my head, beads of water dripping down my face and off my shirt, a sly smile curving my lips. My fingers drift up and quickly loose the few buttons on my shirt, and it slips down my shoulders to fall in a silky puddle behind me. I dont have large breasts, but they make up for what they lack in quantity with quality, and they're crowned with large (and very sensitive) dusky pink nipples. You're hesitating, momentarily thrown by the whole situation, so I reach up and trail my fingers across my rain-slickened breasts, pausing briefly to pinch my nipples to attention, then my fingers drift down to my hips, the tiny scrap of cloth that called itself panties hits the ground. You take a step around me, and I just stand there, enjoying the slight chill of the air across my moistened flesh, enjoying the way your eyes drink me in. I don't claim to be the most beautiful woman on the planet, but I have a great ass (if I do say so myself) and you pause behind me for a moment, admiring it, then step up and wrap your arms around my waist.
"You had this planned all along, didn't you?"
