Chapter 12 Passion

The darkness had a mysterious air to it, cool and damp to the touch. The slivers of anticipation unbearable. Rachel huddled her arms around her chest waiting to see the glare of two headlights. Puck, with his "cougar" instincts had helped Rachel pick a secure location in which to rendezvous with Finn. He had picked her up first and dropped her off at the location.

The location was a in a rural area about 15 minutes away from Lima. It was a man made lake bordered by tall evergreen trees with just enough opening to see the clarity of the stars landscaped into the night sky. Beautiful, extremely quiet, the only thing to spot was the occasional spark from a fire fly and the wind swaying of a tree branch. She felt alone but secure with her rape whistle in her right coat pocket.

It would have been much easier to have the rendezvous in her bedroom or Finn's for that matter. But, she didn't want to risk having any unwanted visitors. Finn and her needed time; time to be alone undisturbed. And the image of Finn's strong hands behind the steering wheel with some lap actions of course had nothing to do with scenario.

The first part of the plan would be to get Finn to the location. The next part would be for Puck to get a ride home so that they could have access to the car to leave when they were ready. Puck had managed to talk Quinn into picking him up. Rachel thought that Puck was on the sly, and had his own plans tonight with Quinn. Nevertheless, the plans were set in motion and Finn was on his way. She could not wait!

The glare of the headlights interrupted what seemed to be like an endless eternity. Her pulse quickened as she peeked around the corner and saw Puck get out of the car. She strained to hear but could hear only bits and pieces of their conversation. Puck walked around to the back of the car and peeked around at Rachel waving with a big smirk on his face. He quickly took off towards the lights of another car in the distance.

She felt like an actor in Mission Impossible as she started tiptoeing by the car. The element of surprise being an important factor of her production. She could hear Finn messing with the radio channels unaware of that fact that Puck had just walked off. The coldness of the door handle shocked her as she lay her fingers on it ready to strike. With the speech of a panther, Rachel opened the door and quickly made her way onto Finn's lap facing him of course, her legs resting on his hard thighs.

His puppy brown eyes looked disorientated as a mixture of shock, surprise, and relief all rolled in one erupted on his face.

"Rach-", he mumbled but was interrupted by the soft kisses Rachel was planting on his face.

"What are you"…. He quickly figured out the program as she gave him a quizzical brow of silence. Her pretty eyes grazed into his as she moved closer her lips aiming for his. Softly, she nibbled on his lips as her little hands reached behind his head pulling his face down to hers. He made a slight groan as she deepened the kiss and opened the entrance to her pretty little mouth. Her tongue made light circles that quickly turned into fevered pitches of delight as her hands roamed his chest and back area. Finn's arms reached for his lower back and finally applying firm pressure to her rear.

He broke the kiss looking into her dark eyes. "Rach, we need to talk".

"Finn"…she moaned.

"Before, we do anything that we regret. I need to tell you something important. I love you Rach. These last weeks have been miserable. I don't want to ever be away from you again. It was torture."

Rachel looked up to him and smiled. Finn started drawing lazy circles on the bare spots her strapless dress did not cover. His lips brushed the soft area of her neck. She could feel the cold night air along with the overwhelming sensation from Finn's touch. In a slow tease, Finn lowered her sundress exposing some delicious skin. She reached for his hands bringing him to the new territory. Finn moaned into the night passion evident in his eyes. He reached for her again kissing her deeply.

A soft drizzle began to rhythmically beat on the window shield of the car. Rachel and him looked at each other and smiled.
