The Forest
The rain was falling softly, misting the windows in the dining room, whispering against the old slates on the roof and creating a symphony of murmurs amongst the trees in the soaking garden. The people inside were oblivious, continuing with their chatting, drinking, and socializing, their sycophantic smiles plastered onto vain, stretched faces, inappropriately short dresses and skirts on the wanton women, counter pointed by the pained expressions and career lifelessness of the dullard wives and mothers who had given their lives to unworthy men and had realised their mistake too late. Only one noticed the rain, moving to the window alone to watch the beautiful downpour.
Jo adored rain. He watched in in raptures of delight, feeling a chill on the back of his neck. A thought appeared suddenly in his mind. A thought so daring, so naughty, so delectable that he had no option but to act upon it. If he didn't, he would curse himself for months to come for missing such an opportunity.
Instantly he spun around and scanned his eyes around the room looking for her. She was leaning against the piano talking to a couple he did not recognise and standing with her idiot boyfriend, Ken. He walked as casually as he could towards them, but his heart began to race. He smiled and nodded at faces he knew en route, but reached her without a break in stride and stood beside and slightly behind her, listening to the inane conversation of the stunted strangers. He stood for a few moments, edging slowly closer to her, breathing in her scent. He murmured in her ear that he needed to see her in the kitchen and she excused herself from the circle. Once in the kitchen, he started to pull her out towards the back door, pushing it open quietly and delighting in the feel of the cool moisture that waved over him from the pressure of the rain. He took Jo's hand and began to heave her out of the house. Jo resisted, although a playful smile danced onto her wonderful, soft lips.
'Where are we going?' She smiled, glancing nervously behind her into the otherwise empty kitchen.
Jo smiled and pushed opened the door.
'It's raining' he grinned.
'I know' she giggled. 'I have eyes and there are windows in there'
'Come on,' you'll love it' he whispered and pulled her outside and into the mist of falling rain. They walked quickly across the glistening lawn in the murky light of dusk, heading directly away from the house so nobody would see them leave. They walked in an easy silence, arm in arm, their smiles and hearts dancing with the excitement of their sudden daring and wetness. The garden loved the rain, fingers of grass reaching up towards the sky to accept the gift from the heavens, the trees murmuring their satisfaction, the flowers throwing open their flouncy dresses, fluttering their petals and revealing their hearts to the downpour. Green, green, green surrounded them as they walked, sparkling in the torrent. They reached the edge of the lawn and stepped into the trees, that began to slope away from them slightly, shrouding them from the view of the house. After a minute or two, they stepped into an opening in the wood, a grove of trees and whispering rain. Jo held Jo's hand a little more tightly, turned to smile at her, then guiding her onto the bench he knew was waiting for them in the grove.
Jo leaned against him and sighed, pressing her mouth into his neck, feeling wet and cold, yet exhilarated. Jo always knew how to make her feel special, relieve her worries and cares. There was no need to worry with him, no need to play the party hostess, no need to play the sweet little woman for the boss or co-workers, no need to smile when they pinched her arse, no need to please idiot Ken.
Jo's fingers played lazily with her hair, twirling little curls, as his hot breath touched her neck just before his lips. His hand strayed gently under her skirt and onto her cold thighs, warming them with his manly hands as his gentle kisses traced a line where her hair ended, softly kissing down her neck and across her shoulders, as his hand slipped between her thighs, one strong arm holding her firmly against him, the other pushing gently, firmly, warmly between her soft thighs.
'Hey...' she murmured, only slightly complaining, as Jo's free hand reached into her hair and unclipped it, allowing her luscious brown hair to tumble to her shoulders. He grinned, handed her the hairclip, brushed a stray hair away from her face and pressed his mouth firmly against hers.
Their lips met, half-open mouths, tongues softly playing against each other as they fell into each other. Jo sucked gently on her lower lip as Jo's eyes closed, her hands settling behind his neck, pulling him into her. He dropped the clip on the wet grass and tangled his hand into her hair. For an eternal moment they kissed, a conversation of breath and lips, as his hand pressed higher between her gently opening thighs.
Finally, he pulled away. He looked into her eyes, as the rain fell weakly onto them. They smiled. Jo leaned in to kiss her nose, her cheeks, her eyes. Kisses on her neck, down to her shoulders, as his free hand slid up her neck and into her hair. Softly, he pushed her back on the bench, her hair falling down on either side. His kisses moved lower, across the top of her breasts, across the exposed part of her chest onto her shoulders and down her arms as her hand moved to his groin and rubbed him.
He looked down at her with hungry eyes. Jo blinked in the rain, but smiled at him with moist lips, her eyes darting from his face to the bulge in his jeans and back again. Jo's hands moved down her body and lifted the skirt of her dress to her hips. Jo's eyes closed as she felt his lips on her exposed thighs, delighting in the feel of his lips in such an intimate place. Jo's hands reached to the buttons on the front of her dress as he kissed her, licking the rain from her thighs as he kissed. He managed to get three of the buttons on her dress undone before her eyes flew open and she struggled to sit up.
