It was a chilly evening. Ross and Jenny scurried into a cabin in the mountains, shut the door to keep out the blowing wind and snow. He tried the lights. They didn't work. "Power must be off somewhere," Jenny remarked off-handedly.
"No problem," Ross replied, smiling in the dark. "We'll light some candles and get a fire going. That'll warm things up quickly."
He groped his way into the kitchen, felt for one of the drawers. Inside, he touched and recognized the candles and a box of matches. Back in the living-room, Ross lit three candles, set one on the table, and two on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. Then Ross got a fire going.
It had been a while since the last time they'd come to the cabin--last year as a matter of fact--and it had been just shortly after their honeymoon. The last few months had proved quite hectic for both of them, so they'd decided to take a skiing trip.
As it happened, the closer they got to the cabin, the more the weather appeared to get worse until eventually they found themselves struggling through a snowstorm to find shelter.
Both were glad to have found the cabin quickly.
A short time later, showered and dressed in dry clothing, they huddled together on the couch. Red and yellow flames danced upwards to the chimney, projecting shadows of strange shapes on everything in the room.
Ross looked at Jenny, her soft face glowing in the light. She smiled warmly at him. "Very romantic, isn't it?" she said, more a statement than a question.
Ross nodded and smiled, then he bent down to kiss her. Jenny's lips trembled slightly as Ross ran his tongue around them, then traced a path along her cheek to her earlobe. Ross nibbled on it, she giggled and tried to pull away, but Ross drew her closer and kissed her once again.
She stroked his cheek and, as they kissed deeply, her tongue darted through his lips, meeting and circling his own tongue. Ross sensed a tremor of electricity shimmer from his throat to his groin, then he slid his lips down her chin to nuzzle in the warmth of her neck. She sighed, whispered his name and ran her fingers lightly through his hair.
Ross moved off the couch, knelt between Jenny's legs and kissed his way down to the hollow between her breasts. Her hands reached up, undid the buttons of her shirt. Glad for the absence of her brassiere, Ross nosed his way beneath the fabric till his lips brushed across her nipple. His tongue encircled the tiny bud, his teeth lightly ran across it and Ross felt it harden between his lips.
Ross breathed in her scent--she smelled as well as tasted delicious.
