Shit. I think it might rain. I can smell it in the air. When I look up, I see dark thunderclouds blanketing the evening sky. It can’t rain. It didn’t rain years ago when I first experienced this moment. It can’t rain now. The weather can’t ruin this memory. I won’t let it. This is too special a moment.

I force myself to forget about the weather and instead focus on the memory I want to relive.

Taking a deep breath, I step back in time. I recall that beautiful evening when Ashley and I were walking, hand-in-hand, through the city park at night. Ashley had just captivated an audience with her performance in a highly regarded theater production in the city’s park. She had the lead role in the play.

I was so proud of her.

It’s hard to believe that only a few years ago she almost gave up acting because of some bad reviews. Now, years later, Ashley is being lauded as an incredible actress with a bright future. There were many celebrities in attendance at this evening’s performance. I couldn’t help but look around whenever she was on stage to gauge their reactions. Everyone was enthralled by my beautiful wife’s talent.

“You really blew everyone away tonight,” I rave.

“Thank you,” she says turning to me with a smile. I notice the exuberant afterglow in her eyes and face – the joy that comes from walking off stage to thunderous applause. She leans her head against my shoulder as we continue walking along a narrow pathway. It’s like we’re the only people in the park this evening, no one else is in sight. I look up at the sky and try to pretend I see the full moon shining above us, just like it did years ago. I grimace at the dark thunderclouds that are blocking my view. It better not rain, I mutter to myself.

“You played a big part in my success tonight,” she comments, snapping me back into the moment.

“Me?” I say confused. “I didn’t have anything to do with your success tonight. You were the one up on stage. You were the one captivating everyone with your performance.”

She stops and looks at me with those beautiful sapphire-blue eyes. “But if it wasn’t for you believing in me all these years – building up my confidence after every terrible review – tonight would never have happened. If I didn’t have your support, I probably would’ve given up on my dream a long time ago.”

I look into her eyes and see gratitude. But she’s giving me far too much credit.

“You know you’re tougher than you think,” I point out, still holding onto her hand.

She smirks and looks down at the ground. We continue walking along the winding pathway – underneath trees, alongside a babbling brook. It doesn’t feel like we’re in the city right now. The park is quiet, except for the few birds I hear rustling in the trees.

I stop walking and pull her close to me.

“You know how happy you make me?”

She looks at me and smiles. “The only thing I know,” she says softly, “Is that you make me happier.”

I lean in and kiss her, savoring the taste of her lips against mine. I embrace her in my arms and hold her tightly. “All your dreams are coming true, Ashley,” I whisper. “And you deserve it.”

I push a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. I marvel at the beautiful woman I am lucky enough to call my wife. And hopefully, soon, I can also call her the mother of my child. We haven’t had any luck getting pregnant – not yet – but I’m praying that we’ll soon be welcoming a child into our lives.

We just need to keep having sex until it happens. Which, lucky for me, I can never get enough of with Ashley.

I kiss her again, and soon that same desire I felt years ago in this park comes rushing back. And just like that moment years ago, I can’t hold back the relentless need to love her – right here, right now, in the park.

“Where are we going?” she asks as I lead her off the paved walkway, into a secluded spot near a quiet stream. I lean her against a tree and kiss her again. My hands cup her breasts through the fabric of her dress. Then they start trailing downward toward her bare legs.

“I need to be inside you,” I growl into her ear.

“Then what are you waiting for,” she whispers back. She searches for my belt in the darkness and quickly unclasps it. She unzips my pants and grabs hold of my cock. She gives it a nice firm tug, springing it to life. I let out an appreciative growl. I slide my hands underneath her dress, and slip her panties off so they drop toward her ankles. She steps out of them and quickly turns around. I lift her dress over her hips, exposing her bare bottom to me. I press one of my fingers into her sex. It slides in so easily. She’s wet and ready for me.

“I’m going to need more than your finger,” she begs, looking back over her shoulder with a wicked smirk.

She knows just what I like to hear. I look around to make sure no one can see us. There’s no one in sight. It’s just us, in the park, in the middle of the night. I grab hold of the base of my cock and step forward. I gently press myself inside her. She widens her stance to accommodate my girth.

“After all these years,” she says with a groan, “I still love having you inside me.”

I grab onto her hips and begin thrusting myself inside her. She leans forward, against the tree. With each successive thrust, her moans grow more pleasurable…and louder.

“You feel amazing, Jackson. Don’t stop,” she gushes.

There’s nothing better than fucking outdoors, in public. I love being surrounded by nature – and doing the most natural thing on the planet, which is making love to the woman I adore. The only thing I might enjoy more is having sex with Ashley on my sailboat– out in the middle of the ocean. I can’t wait for that memory. But let me enjoy this one first.

Ashley’s pussy is so sleek that it turns me on even more than I already am. I continue filling her with my manhood. She pushes her hips back, so she can feel every inch of me inside her.

“I fucking love your cock, Jackson,” she groans.

“Good,” I moan. “Because it belongs to you.”

We continue pressing our bodies against each other, a mutual orgasm building between us.

But then things take an unexpected turn.

I hear a loud thunderclap.

I look up.

The heavens have parted.

It starts pouring rain! Within seconds, Ashley and I are drenched to the bone.

This isn’t what happened years ago! This isn’t part of the memory! It never rained! This isn’t what I remember!
