The Storm-Erotic Romance Story by Salty Vixen

Chance encounter...One rainy night. A thunderstorm, a handsome stranger at the door, and no power. There is however electricity after all

The rain fell unmercifully outside. Thunder was crashing, and lightning made it seem almost like daylight at times. The storm had started just at dusk, rolling in quickly, darkening the sky. The rain poured down the windows, obscuring the view outside.

"Not that there's anything to see," Kate muttered. "A perfect end to a perfect day, now I'm even talking to myself!".

She swung away from the window, moving with almost feline grace across the room. "That's it. I need a drink." Moving to the bar, she poured a healthy shot of scotch into a glass, not bothering with the ice. She drank most of it down immediately, choking slightly on the harsh spirit. As she was refilling her glass, the lightning lit the room again, causing her to start at what was only her reflection in the mirror.

She crossed to the mirror, taking a long hard look at herself. "Well, for what it's worth you've kept your looks, kid," she toasted her reflection in the glass. She could still hear her mother's voice from this afternoon.

"Honey, you should be out there, looking for another husband while you still have your looks."

The words haunted her. It would have been too difficult to explain to her mother that she wasn't looking for a husband, her first one had been enough. Coming home early from a business trip and finding him in bed with another woman was bad enough. But one almost young enough to be her daughter was the ultimate insult. Kate looked at her reflection again, "not bad indeed!"
