A wild storm had kicked up quite a fuss; and the power has been knocked out because of it. In this house, set back in the woods accessible only by a long gravel road, there are candles lit and the scent of the rain is blowing in gently from the open windows. And she is there, lying across the loveseat with her bare feet dangling over the arm. I can't help but to admire her in her short khaki skirt looking peaceful listening to a slow song. She seems to never go without her music, no matter the circumstances. Laura is unaware of my presence, and I have a fleeting moment where I tell myself I shouldn't be looking at my friend's wife with my imagination spinning out of control. But looking isn't doing, and last I heard there were no strict rules against that.
Besides the soulful music, it's silent in the house, a bit too silent. When my eyes come back to her I see she has finally noticed she isn't alone anymore. Instead of being startled she smiles at me. "Felix, what are you doing here?"
"I was just stopping by to make sure you guys were okay. I told him I would check on you while he was out of town." Her husband, my friend, didn't ask me to do anything, but I thought I should.
"I'm relaxing, enjoying the music and sounds of the storm, not a care in the world." She says, still smiling. I ask where the kids are because it's never this quiet. She laughs and tells me they are staying the night at her sister's. "She owes me more than one night, but they don't like to be gone from home for too long. They get home sick. I have to admit I absolutely love the solitude. I'm never alone anymore."
"Oh, well if you're trying to be alone..."
"No, I didn't mean for you to leave. Stay and enjoy the peace with me for a few."
So I sit down with her and we enjoy a comfortable bit of quiet and then we chatted easily about different little things that made us laugh or shake our heads and I enjoyed being with her. The longer I sat with her and talked to her and looked at her, the stronger my need to touch her became. She pointed to a bright red cardinal playing in a puddle outside with another cardinal not so bright in color and we both turned on the couch to look out the open window. A strong breeze sprayed rain onto our faces and we both leaned back away from the window laughing like carefree children.
"I better shut this before the couch gets soaked" Kneeling on the seat of the couch she reaches to lower the window but it won't budge. "Here, let me help", and kneeling behind her, my arms extend over hers and before she can move her hands the window slides down fast, our arms coming down with it, causing us both to bend over quickly. Her ass lands directly on my lap and I can feel myself getting hard in an instant. We both get untangled in a flustered hurry. She is blushing and it only makes me more aroused for some strange reason.
I licked a raindrop from my bottom lip and couldn't help but notice when her eyes went to my mouth and then to my eyes as if to see if I noticed her looking. I reached for her face to gauge her reaction, to see if I was misreading things, her eyes widened a bit as if surprised. "You have a few raindrops on your cheek." And I brushed my fingertips against her soft skin "There, all gone" And she softly released the breath she had been holding, which I probably wouldn't have noticed if I had not been paying attention. So now I knew. Now I was really in trouble, and if I was going to keep myself from doing something stupid I needed to get the hell out of there. "I should probably go."
She looked down, "Oh, okay. Thank you for checking up on me. I appreciate it."
But I didn't want to go and I wasn't exactly rushing to get up. I was actually thinking of some excuse to stay longer when she looked up quickly, "I love this song!"
I had forgotten there was any music on, but now I paid attention to the slow romantic song and inspiration struck. "How about a quick dance before I go? Another way to enjoy your peace" I say half jokingly. I expected her to say no, knowing she is shy about dancing in front of other people, but she surprises me and says yes.
I stand and hold out my hand and she places her fingers in the palm of my hand and slowly stands and comes to stand close to me. My other hand goes around her waist, hers on my shoulder and we begin to slow dance. Once our eyes meet, they stay there, and she says quietly, "At last". I look at her inquiringly and she smiles sweetly when she speaks again, "That's the name of the song." Now I am wondering if she has been thinking about this, about us, before. And how did I not know?
Our bodies have been edging closer and closer, I loosen my hold on her hand and run my hand up her arm and down her back, slowly bringing her closer still. We both stop dancing not able to concentrate on it anymore and I say to her, "Please... don't tell me to stop" I lean down and kiss her gently and she kisses me back. Feeling her sweet tongue on my lips has me wanting to taste her in return. Her arms windd around my neck and I feel her body pressing against mine and still I need more of her.
I don't remember pressing her against the wall, but am very aware of gently pushing her skirt up her thighs and my hands discover more soft skin. Our tongues still tasting each other as I caress her thighs playing with the edge of her panties in a way that lets her know I want more, much more, but she won't know when or exactly where I'll go next. I feel her body trembling and her heart racing. It's very doubtful anything like this will ever happen again between the two of us and I want to draw it out for as long as possible, but I really doubt we will be able to control ourselves for very long.
