It was so quiet. Not eerily quiet but natural. Nothing but the sound of soft breathing and rain pattering against the window. Shane laid quietly on her bed, eyes half lidded as she watched a few flashes of lighting light the far wall of her room. It didn’t make a sound though. It was too far away now. Just quick flashes of blue light adding to the already cool shades that night brings.

A small moan caught Shane’s attention as Carmen shifted lightly beside her dragging her fingernails lightly against Shane’s stomach in contentment. Shane smiled resting her cheek against the top of Carmen’s head and taking in the sweet smell of her hair. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt so content. She reached her arm around Carmen’s waste and brushed the side of her thumb against Carmen’s damp skin caused by their earlier passion.

Closing her eyes to listen more closely to the rain Shane soon felt Carmen tapping a rhythm against her stomach along with the rain causing a smile to form across her lips. Carmen had a hard time sleeping without music but with the power out all she could do was make her own music. Shane could always tell when she had a tune running through her head. She would sometimes wake in the middle of the night and feel Carmen tapping a rhythm against her shoulder. It never bothered her, in fact it was incredibly comforting to feel Carmen there and to know that she was alright. Sometimes Carmen would breathe so softly Shane wasn’t even sure she was still there and would have to reach her arms around her to makes sure she hadn’t gone anywhere.

Shane let out a soft content sigh as she felt the warmth of Carmen’s skin against her own as Carmen shifted just slightly moving her hand up to Shane’s shoulder before continuing her rhythm. The Latina’s warmth sent tingles down Shane’s body. Something about her own damp skin cooling off then having the curvy girl’s warmth to contrast it made Shane tingle every time she moved.

“Hmm… Which song is it?” Shane asked the shorter girl as she buried her nose into the soft main. She ran her fingers up and down Carmen’s bare side as she waited for her response.

“Just… a rhythm,” Carmen moaned softly as she continued on, “Does it bother you?”

“No, I like it,” Shane gave her a sweet kiss on the top of her head, “I couldn’t keep a rhythm like that even if I tried…” Shane commented softly as the tapping became more intricate.

Carmen chuckled lightly against Shane’s shoulder.

“What?”

“I’ve felt you keep a pretty good rhythm…” Carmen smiled against Shane’s cooling skin as she felt her chuckle lightly under her touch, “Besides… It’s easy to keep a rhythm with your heartbeat to follow…”
