Free Coming Together: Special Hurricane Relief Edition by Alessia Brio Page B

but she wanted it that way a little
while. She was close to a big one. Water ran down her face, she
slurped it in.
    "Too
deep, Gene," she said. The note in her voice tipped him off that
she was very close; he knew her so well. He hadn't realized he was so
familiar with the sounds of her. They almost never had made love in
the darkness in all that time at school.
    "Just
a second! Get on top, baby!" he sat, legs braced wide, and she
straddled him. In he slipped again with a joyful grin. His arms held
her upright. Her breasts slapped his arms and chest as she worked
with a will, stroking her hips forward and back as she rode him. It
was warmer this way, too, even though her hair was wet now. He could
smell her, the distinctive smell of his Karen.
    She
took control and fucked him. The rain made them slippery and joyous
and a little giddy. Then she came, yowling and then quickly biting
her lower lip to stifle the sound, but it was a very long spasm of
sweetness, dizzying. Her clutching fingers dug at his naked
shoulders, her heavy breasts came forward onto his chest. She was
almost sobbing and her toes curled in the twigs and leaves. He licked
rain off her ear and she slid on him a few seconds more for a second
strong come.
    "Christ,
Karen!" said Gene, and this time it was she who knew by his
voice what was about to happen. She slapped his arms and he released
her, and when her mouth closed over him he clamped his mouth closed.
The tents were too close; they had to be quiet, but here it came! He
repeated "Christ, Karen" in a tight whisper and then sobbed
as his come slammed through.
    Eyes
shut tight, rain in her face and on her back, Karen trembled in her
excitement. Pulses of warm liquid jetted at the roof of her mouth;
his balls slapped her under the chin as he bucked upward.
    "God,
I love this," thought she, exulting. They lay in the rain and
breathed together in silence a moment, then guilt drove Gene to his
feet to dress.
    She
put up a hand, and he took it to help her up. Her yellow poncho was
easy to find and quick to get into, but the remnants of her panties,
white though they were, did not show themselves. In whispers, they
discussed what was done with them at the time. Both flashlights
scoured the ground, fruitlessly.
    "You
just know they'll be so completely obvious in the morning!" she
moped.
    "Mmm.
Wait, wait!" Gene played the beam across her. Bingo. "I see
em; they're stuck to the slicker." He peeled the cloth off and
presented it to her. They giggled from relief and embraced again.
"You were incredible, baby. You always were."
    "Thanks,
Gene." She hugged him tightly, and they stood in the hug a long
minute.
    "Isn't
it supposed to rain again?" she whispered.
    "Yeah,
tomorrow afternoon and evening, they said, but we haven't heard an
update since before—what are you thinking?"
    "Oh—nothing."

    "Fuck!"
Abbie cursed as a loud boom of thunder shook the windows behind her,
and the lights flickered and then extinguished. The document she had
been typing vanished to a pinpoint on the monitor in front of her
before it disappeared completely. "Fucking sonofabitch!"
    A soft,
amber glow appeared in the doorway and grew brighter as footsteps
sounded on the carpet. "Forget to save again?" asked Jessie
as he ambled through the doorway. The only answer was Abbie's glare.
"You'd think you would have learned your lesson by now."
    "You'd
think." The words barely registered as she forced them through
pursed lips.
    He moved
further into the room and laid the flashlight on the desk, the beam
pointing away from the disgruntled young woman sitting behind it.
"Relax. It'll come back on, and you'll get it finished." He
stood behind her chair and kneaded her shoulders with his strong
fingers.
    "With
the way the electric company around here works, it could be hours."
    "I can
only hope."
    "What's
that supposed to mean?"
    "Don't
get your panties in a wad. I just meant that as long as
