The night feels hot and humid against my skin. No sign of a breeze through the open sliding door. A thunderstorm in the making, I think as I look at the clock. God, I wish it would rain. I really do love the rain. The air is heavy around us as we lay in our bed. I turn to look at you, see you lying beside me. I think about how I never get tired of watching you sleep and the happiness you bring to me. The sheet is pushed down, your body is naked and white against the darkness of the room and I think about touching you, waking you. Wanting to tell you how much I care for you, but sleep eases all the worries of the world from your face. Beautiful, I think, he is so beautiful and so I let you sleep.
From somewhere outside soft music floats on the air through the door. The melody is so haunting and sad. Soft and it plays on the edges of my mind. It seems almost recognizable. What is it? What is the name of that song? I think how unlike me that I don’t know. Like a long forgotten memory it flits across the edges of my mind. Only 2:00 a.m. I see on the clock. 2:00 a.m. and most of the world is asleep, even you. I float back to a time when I would have felt lonely, awake in the night but not now, not anymore.
I think about getting a glass of water. Maybe a glass of water will cool me. So I inch out of our bed not wanting to wake you. I stand naked by the patio door hoping for the hint of a cool breeze. Hot, I think to myself, so hot. How I wish it would rain. It seems so dark outside, no stars and the clouds are heavy and black against the night sky. There must be a real storm coming. Nothing moves beyond the darkness. I feel as if I'm looking out over the edge of something, something coming. Maybe it’s nothing more than the power of the storm as it approaches but there is the feeling of tension in the air. Heavy like the air.
I don't want the light from the bathroom to spill onto you, wake you. So I search for the glass in the dark. My hand skims across the counter until my fingers touch the edge of the glass. Wait for the water to run cold from the tap. Hot, it's so hot in here, I think. I hold my hands under the water and the coldness shocks my skin, eases the heat. I cup my hands and bring the water up to my breasts. Let it trickle between them. Over them, cooling me. My nipples harden as the water spills over them. Better, much better, I think. I catch my reflection in the mirror. In the darkness, the water on my breasts glistens as I turn. My wet skin catches what little light there is. I trail my hands across my breasts. Lightly touch my nipples and feel their hardness. Cup them, feel the heaviness there. Watching as I do, I slide my fingers across my stomach and then up my sides. God, it’s so hot in here. I wish it would rain.
I slip across the room and stand by the open door again. The first hint of a breeze blows the sheers against me. Softly. Not cooling. A warm breeze. Blowing up because of the storm approaching. The sheers float across my legs and it feels soft and silky against my skin. Like fingers caressing me gently. Like a gentle whisper of a touch. Almost like nothing at all. I watch the lightening streak through the sky, filling the room with flashes of light. The crash of thunder in the distance is like music to my ears. Rain, I think. Thank God it will rain. Still, you sleep.
I think about stepping through the door, to wait for the rain to come. For it to dance across my naked body. Cooling me as it splashes down on me. No one around. You sleeping and so unaware of the storm approaching. So I do. I step through the open door and stand naked and waiting. Waiting for the storms first caress. Like a lover's caress. Like your caress. Lightening flashing around me in the black sky. I tilt my head back and raise my face to the sky. Close my eyes. The breeze gusts around me making my skin tingle. I think how free I feel. Suddenly, I feel the first drop as it touches my lips. I open my mouth to catch the rain, like a child again. I love when it rains.
I feel you more than hear you. Feel you stand at the door, watching me. The rain pours down on my body. It runs down my back and across my ass. Streams between my cheeks. My arms reach up, stretching high above me. Hands reaching, grasping. As if trying to catch the power from the storm. Trying to catch it and hold it in my hands. My head tilts back catching the rain in my mouth. The light flashes in the sky and it makes my skin sheen. My body is wet and shinning. The wind whips through the trees and it sounds like the wings of a thousand birds taking flight.
I know you stand and watch me. Watch as the rain pounds down on me. The drops are hard and heavy against my skin. Stinging me as they hit with the force of the storm. I bring my hands down slowly. Run them down my sides and around my waist. Then back across the cheeks of my ass. I cup them. Rub the rain into my flesh. Then suddenly you are there, behind me.
I hear you whisper, "What are you doing out here, little mouse?" I think back to the first time you called me that and I smile.
"I'm waiting for you", I say.
I lean back against you and feel the rain run between our bodies. Cool on our skin and we slip across each other with the wetness of it. You fill every dip, every crevice of my body with your body. Mold yourself into me and I feel you tall and strong against me. My ass presses against your stomach. I feel your hardness against me. My hands come up and I join them around your neck. I lean my head back against your shoulder, turn my face to your neck and lightly touch my tongue to your skin. I taste the rain that falls there. Your hands slide up my stomach and you reach for my breasts. You cup them in your hands, bringing them together. The rain washes between them. You feel the hardness of my nipples against the palms of your hands.
"I love the rain", I whisper to you.
You lower your head and kiss down my neck, across my shoulder and I push back against you. Feeling you against me. Wanting to feel you against me. Your fingers pinch my nipples, hard from your touch and the coolness of the rain and the wind. One hand trails across my stomach, across the bone in my hip and it sends shivers through me. It tickles me. I bring my hands from your neck and then down to your legs. I rake my nails across your wet skin and you pull me closer still. I feel your teeth on my neck as you bite gently, teasing me. One hand slides across my belly, rubbing the rain into my skin and you hear me moan softly, as your fingers reach for me. Reach for the center of me. They slip there in the wetness – me or the rain? Me, I know. Wet for the feel of you against me. Wet with desire for you. Wet with wanting you.
