The unexpected rainstorm has made me wet andup at me, his blue eyes locked with mine His face is damp with raindrops and his hair is soaked, as are his clothes, like mine But we’re in this little tunnel of an alley, covered by a wooden trellis overgroith ivy and it’s kind of cozy Tiny white Christlow upon us and it’s dark, the only sound our accelerated breathing and the rain falling on the sidewalk and street only a few feet away

I feel alone with hiht see us or what they irls and the jealous stepmoms fade away until it’s justhis face, I s one cheekbone, then the other He didn’t shave thisand the stubble on his face is scratchy Makes ainst hened cheeks

A shiver ht

He’s coive away that he’s affected bythe curve of his upper lip, then the full lower lip,the tiny droplets of water that dot his skin He parts his lips, capturing the tip of ently bitesme I don’t knohy he’s bolder today, I don’t knohy he’s suddenlyit I want this I want hi to kiss er fro me, you know”

“Maybe I want to” I feel flirty, rin that spreads across his face at my remark orth it

Drew slides his hand upfaintly and it’s as if a spark of electricity lights between us

I’ry for him, but I force myself to use restraint I don’t want to rush this ic in this space that’s woven its spell around us and I’m not ready to break it yet

I want to ain in the most chaste of kisses, every tiles dance in ooseflesh and I wind ers into his wet hair and clutch him close His other arm is wrapped around my waist and he pulls ether

“Fable” He whispersinto hiue warles with her still, until I’m ravenous, so hot I wish I could claw ainst his

The slow kisses give way to hot, frantic ones His fingers are so tight infor hiive ainst his, our breathing out of control and loud in the otherwise hushed quiet of the tunnel The rain seems to have lessened, it’s not as loud and openme carefully

“Should we make a run for it?” he asks

I don’t kno to answer I don’t want hiht hold, I feel safe Protected “It’s still raining”

“Not as hard, though”

“We’ll get soaked,” I point out lamely

“We’re already soaked” He kisses me, keeps his et you out of the rain and back to the guesthouse so we can really be alone”

My heart flutters in anticipation at his words He wants ree with a nod and he carefully lifts th of his body the entire way I feel everything, his hard, unyielding , how much power I have over him at this verybetween us And for once, I’ forward to it There’s no shame in sex when you’re with a person you care about He isn’t just another anony to ease that lonely ache inside me

The realization both excites and terrifies uesthouse fast enough Traffic was for shit, ith the rain and the roads were slick I needed to be careful, I caughtacross the asphalt a few times when I turned corners and I lowered my speed Tried er seat all wet and sexy, looking good enough to eat, it’s tough

Thethe door for her The rain has lessened, though it’s still steady and I have no idea if anyone’s hoet Fable inside, I can hardly see straight

She’s giggling when I pull her inside the guesthouse and shut and lock the door with a finality that bringsto interrupt this I won’t allow it I have to get Fable naked Have To There’s no other choice
