[ the rain happens, like so many other things have while they've been on this damn ship, without warning; one second she's outside, mingling (or at least pretending to) at something that's been referred to as a garden fête and trying to ignore the heaviness of her dress, and the next the sky literally opens up over them. wynonna squints up toward the darkened clouds and feels the first few droplets pinging against her face, sharp and cold, and then the downpour happens and she's frantically looking around for somewhere to retreat to.

she's not as close to the main house as everyone else is, having wandered off toward the edge of the party a long time ago, and she has to remember to pick up her skirts before she starts running, trying to see through the sheets of rain that have started falling and eventually just moving at a blind tilt, stopping once she feels wooden boards beneath her feet. she's stumbled into some kind of gazebo or pavilion a ways off on the property, and instinctually she reaches up to pull her wet hair back from where it's sticking to the sides of her face, the style she'd pinned it back in completely ruined by the rain.

she glances down at herself, her sopping dress sticking to her skin, and flings her arms down, drops scattering in all directions. the sound of heavy footsteps on the floorboards prompts her to spin around, wet lashes sticking together as she blinks whoever it is that's just had the same idea she has into focus.

she's got a smart remark hovering right on the tip of her tongue, but it dies at the sight of him, droplets clinging to the line of his jaw, his shirt so damp she can practically see through the cotton to the shape of his frame, his muscles. even if she doesn't know how they keep ending up in these situations together, she'd be lying if she said he doesn't make for a fantastic view like this, and she can almost forget about whether she looks like a drowned rat or not.

so she just looks at him, still breathing a little harder from the adrenaline and maybe something else now, something she doesn't want to admit she feels even a fraction of every time he's on her mind. ]

[ she knows she doesn’t belong in these circles — fancy people who seem to get their rocks off dressing up and judging others, not to mention the punch is seriously too weak for her liking. the only way she’d be able to get through a party like this is to drink the entire time, and she can’t even successfully do that. but she realizes how much she needs the breather from it all when she’s finally ducked beneath the gazebo, barely able to see two feet outside of it thanks to the rain coming down in sheets. it’s so loud she almost can’t hear herself think, but it’s not like she’s thinking much about anything else by the time she figures out she’s got company here — and whose company it is.

for a second, she wonders if he’s just going to turn around and head back out into the thick of it to get away from her; she’s not under any illusions that she’s his favorite person here or anything, not by a long shot, but she can’t pretend she hasn’t been feeling differently around him since that night in the tent, a night she can’t take back and maybe doesn’t even want to.

part of her envies him, where he’s ended up in this society; she wishes she could move freely and do whatever she wants, when she wants, and not have so many eyes on her, and maybe she feels part of that desire now — to be bold, to do something she shouldn’t, to behave badly. she knows what would happen if they were caught together here, what it would mean. and that feels like all the more reason to let herself take the risk.

his hand is warm against her rain-chilled skin and she shivers, but not completely from the cold; still, it’s not like this dress leaves much to the imagination now, plastered to her as it is, the points of her nipples sticking out through the sheer layers. she turns her face into his touch, cheek nudging the heel of his hand, and suddenly it’s like the tent was yesterday with how intensely she feels that returning spike of wanting him low in her center. she reaches up with a gloved hand to curl fingers at his neck, tugging herself in, and finds his mouth with a possessiveness that makes her gasp as soon as the heat of that kiss floods her body. ]

[ she kisses him like she wants the taste of him in her mouth, hot and slick and salty with sweat, and also like she's trying to forget everything else — maybe up to and including that night they'd shed their layers and rolled against each other in the sleeping bag, when he'd made her gasp the first time he'd filled her up, when she'd kissed him to stifle her own cries as he'd driven her to come hard with the long strokes of his dick inside her.

she's tried to keep him out of her mind, but that's easier said than done when the ship is so damn small and they're sleeping side-by-side again with only a wall between them. she still wonders if he'd ever heard her that one night when she'd strafed a hand down her stomach and slipped it beneath the waistband of her panties, thrusting as many fingers as she could get inside herself to mimic his thickness and then biting her lip — but not before her own moans had inadvertently left her, sharp and plaintive when she'd finally made herself peak on a memory of the two of them fucking in the darkness.

she doesn't give herself a chance to second guess it now, and maybe he's thinking about pulling away too; there's that wink of doubt that flows through the empathy bond, but by the time her mouth finds his she can feel that need heightening hers and knows she's not alone in this. her hands are clutching at his face, the fabric of her gloves damp enough for her to feel the warmth of his skin through them, and when his touch docks at her hips it's enough to lead her in until she's pressed more closely against him, the heat of his body emanating through both layers of clothing to make her feel feverish, dizzy with her own arousal.

there's nothing proper about this, not when their tongues are already clashing, not when she's not-so-gently biting at his lower lip almost in a retaliatory gesture — like it's his fault for making her want him this much, so she's going to take it out on him a little — but she can hear the rush of the downpour on the roof above them and she knows she can keep getting lost in this, in him, at least for now. ]

[ she's just got done convincing herself that the night in the tent was a way for her to scratch an itch, to chase a much-needed release with someone who looked like he could get the job done for her. it hadn't meant anything, not just because she prefers having the chance to get some and get gone but because she doesn't need the inconvenience of getting more attached to anyone here. not when opening her heart to someone has always ended badly for her.

it only had to be once. just once, and then she'd have him out of her system. then she'd stop thinking about his mouth during really inconvenient times — or worse yet, stop thinking about the sensation of his roughened hands on her body until she'd been driven to touch herself to the memory of it, coming harder on her own fingers than she can ever recall at any other time she'd aimed for something quick and dirty to help her sleep. but it only takes looking at him again now, wet and in the flesh, for her to realize that she hasn't gotten over him at all.

she can taste the rainwater on his lips, cool and clean, but there's heat beneath it, that same warmth that had surged through her the night she'd rapidly stripped her clothes off and then fit herself to him in the darkness, skin rubbing against skin not just for needed friction but with the intensity of how hard he'd finally fucked her, driving in between the spread of her legs until she'd almost bit her lip enough to draw blood in her attempt to stifle the sounds of her own moaning. here, they have the rain to drown out her sighs, and she pants more roughly, more obviously against his mouth, as his hand palms over the curve of her breast through the soaked fabric of her dress, kneading firm enough for her to feel his warmth too.

she doesn't care about being caught, or at least that's not her biggest concern right now. honestly, she's sick of feeling like she has to behave, like she has to worry about being good, when all she wants is to give in to the first thing that feels good since she got here — and that's not dancing in some stuffy ballroom, either. instead, she clutches onto him, kisses him like she's drowning and the only thing that can keep her upright is his mouth, hers opening for that first sweep of tongue that makes her groan, makes her want to feel it elsewhere, and before she can think twice she's leading him over to where she can brace herself against the closest section of railing, spreading her knees to welcome him between them with one hand braced for leverage as the other starts to hike her skirts up. ]

[ it all feels like a dream, so many of these details completely out-of-place for them, like maybe if she pinches herself hard enough she'll wake up and she'll be back on the ship with him on the other side of that shared wall, hoping she hasn't been turned on enough for that to permeate through the barrier. she's never asked him if he can feel it when she touches herself, if her need is strong enough to affect him too. maybe a part of her doesn't want to know, because if she found out the truth one way or another she'd either be embarrassed or something deeper she doesn't want to address.

so much of this isn't going to happen again — soon enough they'll be off the damn planet and flying through space, onto the next place, and she won't be standing here in a white dress that's been rendered almost sheer by the rain still pelting down outside, the once-attempted updo of her hair hanging wet and across her shoulders. she wouldn't be able to see the brawn of his shoulders rippling through his damp shirt as he crouches down to settle on his knees in front of her.

she uses one hand to hold her skirts up and the other to brace against the railing behind herself; they're still mostly covered by the gazebo's roof, but the rain is a continued torrent, so loud it almost masks the sound of her own heavy breathing, but he can likely see her lips parted for it as she tilts her chin down to watch.

she wants to make sure she sees every second of this, even if it does turn out to just be a dream, but as soon as his tongue strokes her through the fabric of her underwear — she'd out-and-out refused to wear those ridiculous period-appropriate drawers, which probably is a scandal all on its own — the heat of it is so obvious in contrast to where she's chilled and wet from the rain that she instinctively rounds her hips toward him, gasping softly. suddenly she's not sure she's ever wanted anything more than she wants to feel his tongue delving between her folds, flicking her clit, fucking into her until her knees threaten to give out on her. ]
