AUTHORS NOTE: When my ex-husband, we'll call him "Allen," read my first literotica submission, "Creatures of Habit," he asked me to write about a night that we shared early in our marriage, before things went to hell. After 16 years, I won't swear to the total accuracy, but this is what I rememberβ¦
People talk about "fuck music," the best songs to play when you want to set the mood for sex - not romance, not love, hot, steamy, let it all hang out sex - thunderstorms are my favorite fuck music. I love thunderstorms, the sight, the sound, and the tremors when the thunder is so close you feel it as much as you hear it. My ex-husband didn't care one way or the other about the weather, but if it got my motor running, that was good enough for him.
It was a hot summer night in '88, and I couldn't sleep - between the humidity and our newborn, midnight came and went while I stared at the clock. Somewhere around one, a cool breeze flowed through our window; the rain the weatherman had been promising all day had finally arrived! I woke Allen up and told him I was going for a walk in the rain and asked if he wanted to come along. He thought I was crazy, but he asked his mom to watch the baby for a while because he knew I was determined to go, and he was determined not to let me go alone. The small Illinois town we lived in was perfectly safe, but Allen was slightly overprotective and way too possessive.
When we started walking, the summer rain shower was gentle and still warm, but cooling down slowly, so we were enjoying the feel of the water and the mild wind as we let our feet wander. I don't know how long it took us to get across town to Big Creek Park, but by the time we got there, the rain was driving and cool, while the wind was harsh, but still warm, the result was the biggest thunderstorm we'd seen in months. As the lightning played across the sky and the thunder rolled through our bodies as well as the air, my skin began to tingle, and I felt a heat rising that was unrelated to the summer air.
