Rachel grinned at me. "You know what this means, don't you?"
I nodded. "We have the place to ourselves, today and tomorrow."
She put the phone down, and snuggled back against me, closing her eyes. I kissed the top of her head gently, and wrapped my arms around her waist. "Pity it's still raining, or we could have gone out somewhere."
"Never mind - we can light a fire, and I'll cook us something special later."
I kissed her again, and as she shifted position, the hem of her t-shirt rode up a little. I drew my fingers gently across the narrow band of soft skin just above the waistband of her jeans, and she pulled her t-shirt an inch or so further up, allowing my palm to rest on her bare stomach. "Mm, that's nice."
I held her for a few moments, then slowly moved my hand upwards inside her t-shirt until I felt the bottom of her bra. I paused, then slid my hand further up, cupping one breast through the cotton fabric. I could just feel her nipple against my palm, but I kept my fingers still, in no hurry to arouse her further.
She tilted her head back, her lips brushing against my cheek, and I moved my free hand to cup her other breast through her t-shirt, the extra layer of fabric making the contact more comforting than erotic. Slowly, though, I felt her nipples harden under my palms, and I deliberately brushed one as I slid my hand back down over her stomach and let my fingers dip inside the front of her jeans. My fingertips found soft fur, and I gently explored the swell of her mound, tangling my fingers in the strands.
I began to move my hand lower, and I felt her smile against my cheek. She put her fingers over mine, immobilising them, and whispered softly in my ear. "Not yet... We have plenty of time, let's talk for a while."
I withdrew my hand, resting it back on her stomach. "What would you like to talk about?"
There was a hint of amusement in her voice, along with unmistakeable desire, and she stretched, pushing her still-hard nipple against my palm. "Why don't you think of something we've done that you really liked, and tell me about it."
I chuckled softly. "I always really like what we do. But if I had to choose... You remember when we went to the Lake District that summer when we first met, and you insisted on going for a ramble even though we'd not packed the proper gear?"
I could tell she was rolling her eyes. "We didn't really need all that stuff just for a stroll. And we definitely enjoyed ourselves in the end, didn't we."
"I couldn't keep my eyes off you in that short skirt," I confessed.
Her voice was amused. "That wasn't difficult to guess - the way you kept hanging back a little, so you could look at me from behind."
