A/N It was a dark and stormy night… Just kidding. I really did come up with this during a storm. It stems from my own fear of them. (Just wish I had the same way to deal with them…) Anyway, on with the story.

------------------------------------------------------

Leia stirred in her sleep at the distant sound of thunder. She sighed knowing there was no way she was going to get back to sleep. She glanced to her side when a flash of lightning lit up the room. Han was sound asleep lying on his stomach. She flinched as the thunder rumbled closer. She moved next to Han and rested her head on his shoulder as she ran her hand across the smooth skin of his back. Han stirred and mumbled something incoherent. When the thunder rumbled loud enough to shake the window she jumped.

"Leia?" Han's sleepy voice came from the darkness.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," she whispered.

He rolled over and pulled her into his arms, her head resting against his chest. "Are you okay?"

The lightning flashed again and she flinched against him. "I hate thunderstorms," she said softly. "Every since I was a child I've been afraid of them. Silly, huh?"

Han gently caressed her back. "No, it's not silly."

Thunder rumbled again as the first drops of rain hit the window pane. Han gently brushed his hand across her cheek then moved to kiss her softly. He felt her tense again as the lightning flashed. He deepened the kiss and rolled her so he was over her. He kissed her feverishly as his hands explored her body. She moaned his name as he shifted his hips and easily slid into her.

Rain began to pound against the window as he slowly made love to her. She lightly trailed her fingers down his back, gently scratching her nails over his skin, causing him to groan. He picked up his pace a little and she wrapped her legs around him, locking them below his backside, encouraging him to thrust harder. She felt the familiar tingle growing in the pit of her stomach as he pushed deeper into her. He could tell she was close and moved to softly suck on the sensitive flesh of her neck. She arched her body against his and grasped his shoulders as she reached her peak. She clung to him as she rode out the last of her climax.

She began sucking and nipping on his neck as she whispered for him to roll over. He held her tightly to him as he rolled them over without loosing contact with her. She sat up on top of him, placing her hands on his chest for leverage. She saw him smile as another flash lit up the room. His hands gripped her hips as she slowly began to work her body up and down his length. He pressed his head back into the pillows as he arched his hips up slightly. She picked up her pace as he started moaning her name. She gasped when she felt his hand on her, his thumb rubbing the bundle of nerves above her center. She cried out his name as another, more powerful orgasm washed over her. He felt her body spasm around him and held her hips tightly as he thrust up into her, driving him to his release. His body stiffened as he called out her name. She moaned as she felt him release inside of her.

After a few more seconds, she collapsed against his chest, placing soft kisses against his skin. His hands absently roamed her body as he breathed heavily. Thunder rumbled again in the distance as the worst of the storm moved away. The rain slowed its pounding against the window as Han wrapped his arms around Leia and kissed her. She stayed on top of him and rested her head on his shoulder as he pulled the blanket over them. She fell asleep in the safety of his arms wondering if there would be any more storms during the night.
