It was a summer night and we had a drizzle of rain in the evening, which made the air quite cool. The sky was shrouded by clouds and the half crescent moon was hidden by it making the occasional appearance. The cool breeze picked up and I shivered and snuggled in closer to his side. His hands tightened around me, cocooning me in his arms as I tucked my head further into his chest. It was quiet as we both listened to the sounds of nature around us. We could hear a dog howling in the distance, a sad whine like it was left behind by its owners and was now all alone. The gentle rustling of branches in the breeze, whispering secrets that we couldn't comprehend. We heard the snapping of a branch from the dead tree on the corner of the street. It crashed to the ground, disturbing the serene silence. In the distance we could hear the occasional horns of cars as they drove by quickly to escape the downpour as forecasted by the meteorologist.
I listened to the quiet thudding of his heart as I circled my finger on his shirt, over his nipple, smiling when he shuddered beneath me. He had sensitive nipples.
A sudden flash of lightning lit up the sky, illuminating the whole world around us for a very brief moment. I immediately started counting.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12... 13... 14... 15...
Boom!
The sound of thunder stopped my counting and I looked up at him showing three fingers to indicate the storm was three miles away. He watched me with a warm expression and gently pressed a kiss to my fingers. I smiled at his sweet gesture and moved up on the lounger, my nose moving against the side of his neck and chin till my lips met with his. His mouth welcomed me and our tongues tangled with each other in an intimate dance. His hands grabbed my hips to steady me and slid up to my breasts, pinching my nipples lightly. I gasped at the feeling, breaking our kiss. I shifted against him so I was straddling his hips and felt his hardness against my belly. My hands snaked down enjoying the contours of his body till they reached his pants, cupping the bulge over it. I enjoyed his sudden intake of breath and was surprised as he pulled me back down onto him and plunged his tongue back into my mouth.
The smell of petrichor intensified around us.
