I was at the cash register. I looked out the picture window to the parking lot. There was a small break between the customers. I thought about you. I looked into the dark sky with the creases of lightning that bolted across violently. The soft booms told me the storm was still off a little way. I would finish my shift in fifteen short minutes. I anticipated the storm, but I hoped for it to come just after I got home. I felt wet and warm between my legs, already. Those last fifteen minutes were torture.
As the big hand rounded the twelve, and the little hand rounded the eleven, I quickly typed in my clock number, and left the store. There were sporadic splashes of rain already. The clouds were luminous, and the small streaks of lightning came faster and faster. I noticed you, just as I got into my car. Without words, you nodded to me, and beckoned with your index finger. You wanted me to follow you. You knew I would do so, without hesitation. I smiled. The wetness was now accompanied by a small throb.
The click of the windshield wipers and slosh of the tires on the wet road were my only company as I followed you away from work. You drove to my home. I parked in front of my house, and you parked on the other side of the street. I walked toward you.
"I knew it," I said.
"You knew what?" you asked. The sly look in your eyes gave away the fact that you knew what.
"You knew where I live, therefore, you must have been here before."
"Only yesterday. I wanted to make sure I was right about the address first. Today, I just wanted to be sure you would be alone."
"I don't know who you expected to be here with me." You nodded. It was some time since anyone had lived with me. I was a little bitter about the circumstances. I decided that bitterness needed to be eradicated, though. I dropped it, immediately. Instead, I asked you, "Do you want to come inside?"
The smile you flashed was enough to melt my body before you. If I were a cartoon, you might have seen my eyes turn into hearts, or my tongue fall to the ground. Instead, I opened your car door, and walked toward my house. I had a hundred questions. All of them were pretty much answered with that smile. I couldn't think beyond, "I must get him inside."
The rain poured a little harder, but the thunder was still very faint. As I closed the screen door behind us, I left the door opened. I wanted to hear the storm. Every sensation in my body was on high alert. Before I could turn around, I felt your breath on my neck and your hands on my hips. I closed my eyes, and thought I might cry. If there was willpower left in my body, it was only enough to press back into your body. Soft hands pushed my hair to the side, and softer lips touched my skin, just beneath my ear. I felt your tongue run up under my ear, and back down the length of my neck. My eyes stayed closed, and my ears pricked at the sound of somewhat louder thunder. I shiver passed through me to you.
Your hands dropped to my shirt, and tugged it off my body. I walked us out of the doorway, and turned to look at you. I pulled your shirt over your head, and threw it on the chair in my living room. My cat ran to the screen door, and ignored the two of us. She did not meow, as she normally would, to be let outside. Instead, she just laid down in front of the doorway, and guarded us. I looked back at your body. My eyes ran down the length of the man that stood before me. In the light glow of the night, I could see the soft hairs that covered your skin. My hands moved toward you. You stepped in to receive their caresses. Your breath was now deeper and slower. I listened to the soft vocal breathiness as I felt the firm flesh and soft down of your chest and stomach. I leaned toward you. I pressed my mouth to you. A familiar scent filled my nose, and I breathed you in deeply. Your hands came up around my neck, and you pushed me down to my knees. I opened your shorts, and let them slip to the floor. Your legs stepped out of the shorts, and the naked form I worshipped stood before me.
