Outside the blizzard was blowing. Snow flurrying around. Visibility was getting less and less. Inside the house was warm and cosy, Faith had the log fire burning. The children were in bed fast asleep, dinner was simmering on the stove and she was sitting in front of the fire hoping that her man would be able to get home before the roads were closed off.
"Next thing to go will be the power for sure," she thought to herself as she got up to get candles just in case.
No sooner done and the power shut done. After lighting the candles, she went to find her transistor radio, hoping to hear news of the roads and their condition. They had moved to the country for the children but at times like this Faith wondered if the peace and solitude was worth the isolation that came with it during these snow storms.
"....all roads to Cedar Vale have been closed." announced the dj from the local radio station.
"Well there go my hopes for a quiet romantic night in front of the fire," thought Faith.
She sat back in the chair, listening to some soft music, looking into the fire and was day dreaming about their time together. They were so happy... so in love. Their life together was perfect.
"Well almost," she thought "if it werenโt for the snowstorms it would be."
Before she knew it, she had dozed off. That was how Paul found her as he pushed the front door closed against the wind and snow. He smiled to himself as he looked at her. Her mouth was slightly ajar as she snored softly. The candles lent a relaxed atmosphere to the room and the music, while not his choice, did the same. He could smell their dinner simmering on the stove but he wasnโt hungry for food. How could he look at food when this beautiful woman was here waiting for him? He was hungry all right but a casserole was not what he had on his mind.
He walked across the room as quietly as he could. Then when he reached the armchair she rested in, he knelt between her legs and leaned forward to kiss her softly on her full sensuous lips. Gently brushing some stray strawberry blonde hair away from her cheek, he smiled down at her, his eyes filled with love and lust. She moaned in her sleep and moved a little but continued to sleep.
