The storm warning was timed for mid-afternoon so we made sure to get in the storm shelter by 1p.m.. I was alone at home for the weekend so Peter, my recently acquired boyfriend was visiting. The storm was predicted as a category 4, likely to cause structural damage and a danger to life. Peter lived about an hour away but heading home would mean passing right through the storm path.
Although rain was predicted the temperature was high and the humidity meant we were sweating in just t-shirts and shorts. Entering the shelter through the trap door in the hallway the heat was even more intense and we were both soon wet through. The radio kept up continual updates on the direction, speed and intensity of the storm and it became increasingly apparent that we were going to be hit full on.
The fear of what might happen and the confines of the underground bunker brought us round to talking about our relationship and the future we hoped for. Turned out we both hoped for a future together but neither of us had been brave enough to admit it, letting the one day at a time mode take over. Knowing that we shared the commitment and that the approaching storm could be life threatening somehow drove us to an unspoken desire to progress the physical side of our newly declared love. I'd held back from full sex, not wanting to give a once in a life time gift to a short term relationship.
Peter stripped of his damp shirt and suggested I do the same, given that I was even wetter than him. I was not wearing a bra due to my youthful firmness and hesitated until Peter pointed out that in a wet T-shirt I was showing everything off already. Peter had a fit torso, nice 6 pack and muscular arms, showing his sporting background had paid dividends. He complimented me on my firm stomach and fit appearance and held out his hands, inviting me into a sticky embrace.
