Lightning flashed through the bedroom window, briefly cutting through the darkness. Jane lay on her stomach in bed, waiting for the inevitable but still flinching when the thunder boomed right behind. She bounced her feet slowly off the pillows shoved against the headboard with a nervous energy, waiting for it to all happen again.
"Stop that," Angela urged, resting her hand lightly on one of Jane's ankles to still the movement.
Jane glanced over at her, then back to the little window in their bedroom. The rain drummed steadily against it with a teasingly soothing beat, almost lulling one into complacency. Jane knew better, though, so she waited.
There's the flash...
She gripped the soft silk sheets in preparation.
BOOM!
And she flinched again, with her heart skipping a beat. Angela ran her thumb very lightly over Jane's calf as she held her ankle; the gentle stroking set her just a little bit more at ease. She let the sheets slide from her fingers and buried her face in them. Silk turned out to be a good choice, if only to keep them cool...the air conditioning had cut out when the power did, and the temperature had steadily risen. Even lying nude in her bed, Jane could still feel the sweat glistening on her skin. She dabbed her forehead on the wine red fabric before looking up again.
"It's really coming down," Angela remarked quietly, propped up on one hand next to her. She released Jane's ankle and slid her hand slowly up, along Jane's calf and hamstring, up across her firm rear, finally making a home rubbing small circles between her shoulders. She knew Jane was scared; the tension in her muscles betrayed that fact easily enough, but knew even casual touching would help some.
"The lights will be back on soon," she reassured her.
"I know," Jane replied quietly. "Not before it's all over though."
"Probably-" Angela began before getting cut off by leaves swiping against the windowpane. "Wow."
The wind had bowed the palm tree in the courtyard outside their apartment, and Angela hunkered down closer to Jane. One heavy breast came to rest on Jane's forearm as Angela slid down onto the bed next to her, but she made no mention of it. She slid forward a little, pushing along the bed with her toes to watch the tree sway dangerously close. She didn't move her arm, though, and soon Angela had snaked her fingers through Jane's and held it even closer. While it normally would annoy her, the now comingled sweat didn't bother Jane much...she appreciated the closeness.
Angela flipped some of her long, sweat-soaked red hair back over her shoulder, and leaned in close to Jane's ear.
"It's okay, hon," she whispered softly. "We'll be fine. Want me to light some candles or something?"
Jane smiled a little at the offer, knowing they didn't even have candles to light. She began to respond, but another flash lit up the room, revealing Angela's face to her in a flash. The BOOM! came shortly thereafter, but it didn't tweak her as much as it had. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against Angela's, tasting the saltiness of her sweat and reveling in it.
Angela released Jane's hand and rolled onto her side to free her arm from its pillowy prison. She slid her fingers gently through her matted short black hair, and pulled her in closer for a deeper kiss. Jane felt Angela's tongue probe her lips and parted them in response, happily granting her entry. Angela pressed further in, dancing her tongue against Jane's in a familiar pattern.
They broke off once to come up for air, and in the flash of lightning she could see Angela begin to rise up on the bed. Before she could react to the thunder, Angela had put Jane on her back and mounted her, straddling her hips. Another flash illuminated her full curvy frame; she swept down and pressed the fullness of her body against Jane's lithe frame to resume their passionate kiss.
Jane could only gasp for air when Angela allowed a brief respite; she slid her hands up along Angela's thighs and hips to her shoulders and finally down her arms, loving every inch of the slick wet skin and the heat radiating from her. The feeling of Angela's full breasts crushed against her own modest offerings ignited her desire for her lover, and she gripped Angela's arms to attempt a reversal. She wanted Angela on her back and ready for ravishment.
Angela broke their kiss then, drawing Jane's lower lip along with her, lightly teasing it with her teeth. She planted her hands on the memory foam mattress and wouldn't budge to Jane's movements, instead continuing to pin her.
"Nah-uh," she replied huskily after releasing Jane's lip. "That's not how we're playing it tonight."
"Wha-" Jane began before Angela cut her off with another kiss.
After breaking off, Angela ran her fingers lightly along Jane's face then turned it to the side. She planted soft kisses across her cheek and jaw, leading back toward the ear. This time Jane kept silent, wondering where Angela was going. She so rarely took charge, usually instead opting for a more submissive role.
Angela's kisses snaked up to her ear, which she lightly began to tongue. She slid it around the rim and down; a light nip on the earlobe elicited a tiny yelp.
"Shh," Angela whispered, kissing the lobe with all tenderness. One hand slid into Jane's hair and found a nice grip, the other began a descent as Angela lifted herself off of Jane ever so slightly. She gave each of Jane's perky little breasts a feel, just a delicate squeeze while running her thumb over each nipple in turn. The sensation tingled through Jane's body and she squirmed in response. Her arousal had kicked into overdrive then, and she felt the warmth and wetness building between her legs. She squeezed them shut and started to rub them together slowly, dragging her heels against the sheets.
Angela's kisses started to descend then, down from her earlobe to her neck, kissing and licking sweat from her skin as she went. She moved her hand from Jane's breasts to her knees, pushing them firmly down against the bed and denying her the pleasant sensations she had gotten from rubbing them together. She tried to slip one hand down as Angela shifted herself, but it was swatted away.
"Nope," she whispered. Releasing Jane's hair, Angela grabbed hold of both of Jane's wrists and held them together over her head. Angela was stronger than Jane, but it wouldn't have been hard to break free.
