The dark night light up with the blinding flash of lightning. Not a second later the ground shook beneath an ear splitting crack of thunder. And just like that it started. The power had long ago gone out and the last remaining candles were flickering to their slow deaths and I just held Karen tighter. Karen was not normally afraid of the rain but tonight was something different. The storm had come on suddenly but never moved on, like its purpose was to stay over the house and torment us for hours.

The rain fell so hard it sounded like it would just rip the shingles off the roof and drown us all in it tempest. I held Karen even tighter.

Karen was the younger sister of a long time friend, a friend that I grown up with. She was a few years younger than I and even though she had grown in to a very beautiful woman she would always be the little tagalong I remember. Or so I thought.

Karen had needed some help with a leaky roof and we had known it would rain so I offered my services. In return for my help she cooked me dinner. It was then that the rain had come and the power went out. We decided to crack open a bottle of wine and lit some candles it would have been a perfectly romantic evening with someone else. By this time we were sitting on the couch in the living room covered with an old quilt Karens grandmother made her when she was born.

It wasnt exactly cold but a blanket seemed like a good idea when the rain started and we never took it off.

Crack! I swear I heard the thunder before the flash of light blinded us. Karen jumped in my arms tears running down her face as she started to sob. I wiped her tears off her soft cheeks with my thumb. Looking at her as if the first time I never realized how beautiful she was. Her dark eyes so transfixed my glair that I couldnt look away. She reached up and took my hand and began slowly kissing away her tears from my fingers.

I couldnt take it much longer I felt drawn to her as never before. I leaned down to her face and kissed a newly formed tear from her cheek as it just dropped from her eye. Softly and slowly I kissed another one away continuing till I felt her lips reach up to mine. So soft and so plump was her kiss I felt like I had never kissed a woman before.

A trifling second had passed for us to breath yet it seemed like an eternity before she kissed me again. This time she was kissing deeper and more passionate. It was as if something possessed me, I reached around her and held her closer to me never taking my lips away from hers. Her hands reached up and drew us even tighter as she lay back on the couch pulling me on top of her. It was if all the weight had been lifted off my shoulders with the sudden realization of how much I longed for this moment. The lightening was still flashing and the house was still shaking under the massive thunder yet we just put it in the back of our minds not wanting this moment to end. I managed to resist the animalistic urges to rip her cloths off even though at that moment I wanted her like I never wanted another woman in my life. Instead I gently moved my lips from her mouth to her chin and then to her neck. Kissing tenderly the soft skin of her neck I made my way from her throat to her ear. Feeling her hands moving up from my back to my head softly pulling my hair I new I had her permission to continue.

She moaned and then gasped as I kissed the base of her neck. Resting on one elbow I moved my hand from her back and gently touched her cheek. Brushing her skin I worked my hand down her neck and to her chest. It was at that moment that I realized she wasnt wearing a bra. I lightly touched her hardening nipples trying to escape her tight shirt. She moaned again and began to shudder as I traced circles around her nipples with my fingers. For the first time she pushed me away and I felt a twang of guilt until she pulled her shirt up and over her head. Another crack of thunder and the lightning illuminated the room exposing her plump firm breasts.

Tracing circles with one hand I reached down and began to kiss her other breast. Gently kissing with my lips and then harder toying around and around till my tongue rested on the nipple. She shuddered and moaned once more digging her nails in to the base of my skull. I felt like I would explode but managed to hold my self together as I worked down her taut tummy kissing and toying never taking my fingers from tracing her breasts. As I navigated down her belly my hands moved to her hips and tugged at her pants. She lifted her hips to allow me room to remove her bottom. The moist smells of her loins acted as more of an aphrodisiac than the bottle of wine we had consumed earlier.

She lifted her hips in anticipation on my mouth but it wasnt yet the time. I made my way up her thigh kissing till I found her knee. Then I worked back down her inner thigh till my nose just lightly brushed over the small tuff of her pubic hair and then touching her leg with my lips I moved to her other knee. Her grip grew tighter and I knew I had to do something about it. Moving with my tongue I went back up her leg stopping just before her legs met. She pulled my head to her and I couldnt resist any more. Tongue out, I toyed all the way around her. Stopping at the base of her lips and then working my way up the center. She reached over with one hand and exposed her personal place for me to play with. Not even thinking about resting that invitation I started to toy it. Back and forth with my tongue brushing over it but never really resting on top of it then ever long once in a while I would kiss and suck on it. Never sucking for too long and not kissing too hard I played with her personal place for an eternity.

She moved like no other woman in my life. Moaning loudly and grinding her self in to my face.

I gasp would follow a stifled scream as her body shuddered with every pass of my tongue. I knew she was ready and I would not last much longer. I moved up and she pulled my shirt off me. Reaching down she unbuckled my belt and helped me remove my pants. I was standing at attention and with both hands she reached down and grabbed me. Her touch was electric and I almost lost it in her hands. Pulling me back down, she guided me in to her. She was tight, oh so tight, but sodden and I slid almost right in.

I had to stop or I would have cum at that instant. I rested for a second and then started to move in and out. My hips moved back and forth then side to side never the same pattern twice her body moved opposite mine but in tempo of my movements.

It was if we had been lovers for years knowing what each other wanted and felt.

Our passion grew feverishly she digging her nails into my back and I pulling her body tighter. Soon our love reached a crescendo and with a loud piercing scream heard over the thunder she began to spasm. That was all it took, I could no longer contain my self if I had Herculean strength. It was incredible an orgasm that moved from my toes to my head and back down. Slowing down the rhythm my body continued to shudder as her screams subsided. We lay next to each other gently petting and kissing as the rain continued to pound the house.

At some point we fell asleep in each others arms a restful sleep oblivious to the tempest out side. Hours later I awoke to the chatter of birds outside greeting the dawn. The storm had passed yet the most beautiful woman in the world remained in my arms. I moved a little and she groaned and pulled me tighter. Not wanting this moment to end I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.
