“Wow, the water is really flowing,” I comment as we get close to the stream. The sound is so calming.
“Usually, it’s calm and clear. I’ll have to bring you back here again so that you can see it when it’s not been raining for forty days and forty nights.”
“It’s been less than forty-eight hours,” she says, shaking her head with a small smile tugging at her lips.
“Seems like months.” I pull her into my arms and hold her with her back to my front as we watch the steady flow of the stream.
“It’s peaceful.”
“It is.”
“You should put some chairs or a bench or something here, maybe a hammock, so you can sit and listen to the water run. Can you hear it when it’s not so full and muddy?”
“Yeah, there’s a small, constant flow over that small rock bank.” I point to what I’m talking about and she nods.
“You should do it.”
“If I do all that work, you better use it.”
“Oh, I’m in. Me and my Kindle and a nice cool breeze.”
“I see how it is. I do all the work, and your fictional boyfriends get to reap the rewards.”
She turns into my chest and moves her arms to wrap around my neck. “Technically, you’re fictional too.”
“I like the way you think, gorgeous.” I lean in for a kiss just as a giant raindrop pelts us in the face. “Fuck, that break didn’t last long.”
“It’s just water,” she says, smiling up at me.
“Come on, let’s head back to the house.” I take her hand in mine, and we start walking back.
“Are you afraid you’re going to melt?” she jokes.
“No, but I don’t want you to get sick.”
“You know that’s not true, right? It’s something our parents used to tell us to get us to do what they asked.”
“Maybe, but I’m not risking it.” I walk a little faster as the rain starts coming down. That is until I’m tugging on her hand. I look back to find her standing still, soaking wet, with a smile on her face.
“What are you doing, crazy girl?”
She lets go of my hand and spreads her arms out wide. “Enjoying the rain.” She closes her eyes and tilts her head back, letting the drops wash over her. It’s really coming down, but she doesn’t seem to mind that she’s completely drenched.
I move to stand in front of her and wait patiently for her to open her eyes. When she finally does, I lift my hands to palm her cheeks and kiss her. I can feel every curve of her soaked skin through her clothes, and I know she can feel my cock pressing into her belly. I don’t think about that. I don’t think about the rain, or how she may or may not get sick from this. All I can seem to focus on is her lips on mine.
My hands fall from her face and roam over her shoulders, down her arms, and eventually, I bend, cupping the back of her thighs and lifting her in the air. She wraps her legs around me, never breaking our connection.
I don’t know how long we stand, kissing in the rain. It could be minutes. It could be hours. What I do know is the rain does nothing to cool my desire for her. Knowing I need to get her inside, I break away from the kiss, and she buries her face in my neck. I’m breathing heavily, not from the exertion of carrying her. She’s light as a feather, but from the kiss, and this intense connection that we share.
I stumble through the back door and kick it closed, not giving a single fuck that we’re both dripping water all over the floor. I carry her to my bedroom, and into the bathroom, where I set her on the counter, and strip naked. I step up to her and help her out of her clothes. She shivers from the chill of the air conditioning.
Reaching into the shower, I turn on the water. I don’t ask her if she’s on board. I know she’s reached a point where she’ll tell me if she’s not. I love the growth she’s had over the last few weeks we’ve been together.
Once the water is warm, I step inside the shower and offer her my hand. She doesn’t hesitate to take it and join me beneath the hot spray. My hands take their time as they roam over her curves. Her big brown eyes, hidden under long lashes, watch my every move.
“Another first,” she murmurs, as she leans in and places a kiss on my bare chest over my heart.
“Kissing in the rain.”
