The cold rain streamed down my face, hair clinging to my skin. The guides told us the Wampanoag belief: The first man and woman were created from pine trees because human love should remain evergreen in all seasons and the limbs of pines are intertwined, as humans should be in love. He had squeezed my hand and I'd leaned my head against his shoulders. On the ferry out to the island, I'd not been able to control my longing and gave him a blow job, feeling him shift in the leather seat as I licked and sucked and fondled, and he orgasmed with fists in my hair. Now he led me by hand away from the path and he glanced back at me with eyebrows raised and a half-smile on his face. I felt us enter that energy we share of mutual curiosity and it caused a warmth to grow and open between my legs, still tasting him on my tongue.
Hiking through the woods with him, watching the way his body moved athletically, I don't know if it was him or the wind that gave me goosebumps. I felt my nipples hardening not only from the dark cold of the woods but also from anticipation, knowing he wanted to taste me too. I shivered through the wet yoga pants and sweater which clung to my body, heavily, seductively, my body growing alert to every tiny sensation. I had waited so patiently for this day. Now in the gray fog I considered making him wait too. Here where he stopped near a tall, old pine tree on the cliff. I could tease. To slowly with a long, flat tongue lick the rain from his neck, by the little mole I loved. To hold his elbows against the mushy pine tree and take time dancing on his body to the rhythm of the slowest but also a beautiful year. To say adamantly 'no' to any attempt on his part to write this moment. To keep him trapped in that spot while I suggested I might unzip his jeans or slide a hand along his abdomen, just along his jeans' edge, feeling his skin and the lovely marks of his story. Unbuttoning taking minutes. Unzip one centimeter at a time. Gaze into his eyes and let them speak all the words my mouth couldn't.
But I didn't. I wasn't sure I could if I wanted to.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and I leaned into him beneath the tree, smelling his light citrus and sage scent. When you love someone truly, there are no games to be played. So I let my wide eyes instead simply say, "I love you wholeheartedly, I am yours," and other truths of my heart as my lips quivered. I wanted to feel his mouth decorated with rain and the smell of the sea. Lightning suddenly struck in the sky, and he grabbed my hips, switching places and pushing me gently against the tree, moving a hand to my breast, his thumb moving around my peaked nipple.
But not touching it. As he kissed me sweetly and gently. I melted with him, feeling my lower back begin to arch.
Rain struck my face and the needles of the tree above shook with me. Hip bones against hip bones. I felt myself entering that primal zone, all sexuality and no logic. I licked the rain from his jawline, eyelashes, threw back my head to feel the downpour turning me into a thing of nature. Thunder boomed and rumbled and he pressed himself with the force of it onto my mouth, greedily and authoritatively, holding my chin with his thumb. The perfect combination, and he knew it, of his male power and his gentle, exploring mouth. I grabbed his thighs and slid my hands upward, hooking into the waist of his jeans, as we kissed with rain in our mouths. His jeans were damp, but his skin inside them was sweaty and warm. My hands pushed down his jeans just enough to cup his perfectly shaped ass. Everything about this moment was raw energy and I felt every nerve in my body responding to his touch. Grinding my hips forward, I curved myself to wanting him. I pulled at him, standing on tip toes, pushing his ass and hips toward me, feeling the heaviness buried still in his jeans.
But he jerked away quickly, a hand on my hip pinning me to the tree. "Be patient, my love" he said in his warm, cashmere voice, as he stepped back and looked me over. And fire erupted inside my brain, my heart, and between my legs. Did he know that those words made me want to rip at myself until I'd pushed my heart into his teeth? Melt off clothes and skin and burn a forest fire with him into the ground right now in a white hot second of passion and need? He so slowly came forward, pulled on my lower lip with his mouth, sucking cold rain and my warmth softly. Then harder, flicking his tongue against my teeth, and pulling away. I stood still for him, allowing him write me into his moment. He took a step back and I looked into his eyes trying to see the bottom of their depth. This man who could hold all the thunderstorms and oceans within me. Did he want to relish the chafing against the patience we'd had? To feel it build like thunder after lightning?
