Middle of the night. I'm laying beside you, snuggled up against your chest, sleeping ever so soundly. You lie awake, listening to the rain start to pelt the windows. Over the next several minutes, it gets harder and harder until it's coming down at a good steady pace. You look down at me, softly caress my cheek and kiss my forehead, which causes me to stir.
"Princess?"
I shift in the bed, bringing my arm up over your chest and curling my hand around your neck.
"Lore? Wake up, baby," you whisper as you turn towards me and pull my entire body into yours.
I stir again and finally open my eyes. The biggest smile dances across my face as I see you next to me. You smile back at me in return. "Can't sleep, honey?" I ask, giving you a light kiss on the lips.
"It's raining pretty hard outside," you inform me.
At first, that piece of information doesn't really hit me. "Mmmm hmmm," I moan.
"Princess...I said...it's raining pretty hard outside," you repeat.
"I heard you the first ti---oh!" Finally, I catch on. I giggle. "Ya want to?"
"More than anything."
"What're we waiting for then?!" I ask, hopping out of bed and heading for the front door. You're not far behind me.
Suddenly VERY awake, I tear out into the rain as it pours down in buckets. I stop, look up towards the sky, enjoying the pelting of the rain on my face as my little baby doll nightie gets thoroughly soaked through. You come up and stand in front of me, then slip your arms around my waist and pull me into you as you, too, look up towards the sky.
"This feels awesome," I whisper as the cool, crisp rain cuts through the warm summer air.
"You feel awesome."
I smile up at you as you look down at me...your eyes so full of lust and love. We lean in and our lips meet for a light kiss, but it's electrifying nonetheless. Sparks fly as the rain continues around us.
Without warning, you take my hand in yours and tear off across the parking lot with me in tow. You don't slow until we're across the way in this little grassy area beneath a willow tree. You turn and quickly take me in your arms, pulling me in for a deep, passionate kiss. You kiss me hard and I kiss you back with everything I've got. My soft, pink, pouty lips emanating all that I feel for you as the rain, now a slight bit less intense under the minimal cover of the willow tree, continues to pelt our hot skin and drench us.
"We're soaking wet!" I giggle.
"I bet you are...and it's not from the rain," you suggest.
