A wild storm had kicked up quite a fuss; and the power has been knocked out because of it. In this house, set back in the woods accessible only by a long gravel road, there are candles lit and the scent of the rain is blowing in gently from the open windows. And she is there, lying across the loveseat with her bare feet dangling over the arm. I can't help but to admire her in her short khaki skirt looking peaceful listening to a slow song. She seems to never go without her music, no matter the circumstances. Laura is unaware of my presence, and I have a fleeting moment where I tell myself I shouldn't be looking at my friend's wife with my imagination spinning out of control. But looking isn't doing, and last I heard there were no strict rules against that.
Besides the soulful music, it's silent in the house, a bit too silent. When my eyes come back to her I see she has finally noticed she isn't alone anymore. Instead of being startled she smiles at me. "Felix, what are you doing here?"
"I was just stopping by to make sure you guys were okay. I told him I would check on you while he was out of town." Her husband, my friend, didn't ask me to do anything, but I thought I should.
"I'm relaxing, enjoying the music and sounds of the storm, not a care in the world." She says, still smiling. I ask where the kids are because it's never this quiet. She laughs and tells me they are staying the night at her sister's. "She owes me more than one night, but they don't like to be gone from home for too long. They get home sick. I have to admit I absolutely love the solitude. I'm never alone anymore."
"Oh, well if you're trying to be alone..."
"No, I didn't mean for you to leave. Stay and enjoy the peace with me for a few."
So I sit down with her and we enjoy a comfortable bit of quiet and then we chatted easily about different little things that made us laugh or shake our heads and I enjoyed being with her. The longer I sat with her and talked to her and looked at her, the stronger my need to touch her became. She pointed to a bright red cardinal playing in a puddle outside with another cardinal not so bright in color and we both turned on the couch to look out the open window. A strong breeze sprayed rain onto our faces and we both leaned back away from the window laughing like carefree children.
"I better shut this before the couch gets soaked" Kneeling on the seat of the couch she reaches to lower the window but it won't budge. "Here, let me help", and kneeling behind her, my arms extend over hers and before she can move her hands the window slides down fast, our arms coming down with it, causing us both to bend over quickly. Her ass lands directly on my lap and I can feel myself getting hard in an instant. We both get untangled in a flustered hurry. She is blushing and it only makes me more aroused for some strange reason.
I licked a raindrop from my bottom lip and couldn't help but notice when her eyes went to my mouth and then to my eyes as if to see if I noticed her looking. I reached for her face to gauge her reaction, to see if I was misreading things, her eyes widened a bit as if surprised. "You have a few raindrops on your cheek." And I brushed my fingertips against her soft skin "There, all gone" And she softly released the breath she had been holding, which I probably wouldn't have noticed if I had not been paying attention. So now I knew. Now I was really in trouble, and if I was going to keep myself from doing something stupid I needed to get the hell out of there. "I should probably go."
She looked down, "Oh, okay. Thank you for checking up on me. I appreciate it."
