When I wake up next to you, it is still raining hard and loud.
The sky is now
dark though, and in the thin light seeping in from the wrap around windows of
the little one room house you had built for us I can see the heavy raindrops
beating down all around us. I turn my head to look at you, your face a few
inches from mine, as you lay on your side facing me. A flash of lightning
illumimates your face and the room around us and you stir briefly at the sound
of the accompanying thunder. I move closer to you, whispering softly so as to
not wake you, "Did I tell you that you never leave my mind, my love." Reaching
with my hand, I caress your face ever so lightly, brushing your dark hair back
from your face, and then down your neck.
Lightning flashes again and in the
pulsing light I see your face in my hands as you kneel in front of me and I make
love to your throat. In the ensuing thunder, I lean forward to kiss your throat
softly atoning for how rough I had been to it earlier. I slip the cover back
down your naked body, eyes lingering on the curve of your collar bones and down
the curve of your visible left breast. Lightning flashes again and in the
flickering light I see you straddling my hip, your body moving up and down as
you moan loudly and I reach with my mouth for your nipples. "Baby," I whisper
softly as the thunder claps down around the house. I lean in to you and kiss
your lips, pulling your body gently into mine, waking you up for my need.
When I
wake up next to you, it is still raining hard and loud.
The sky is brighter now
though, and through the wrap around windows I can see the heavy rain all around
us. I turn my head to look at you, your face a few inches from mine. You are
awake and looking at me. I smile into your eyes and move closer. You reach for
my body and pull me closer to hold me against yours. I go back to a kind of
warm slumber in your embrace.
I barely hear you when you ask in a low voice,
"Am I more than an addiction?"
