What had started as a beautiful autumn afternoon in Pallet Town had steadily turned more ominous as the hours had ticked by. Clouds had started to roll in and then a stiff breeze had kicked up. Ash and Serena were familiar with the weather patterns of Kanto, and so, by the time dark clouds were approaching from the horizon, preparations for the storm were well underway.
Serena walked amongst a group of Ponyta, Rapidash, Vulpix and Growlithe as they made their way to one of the entrances of the cave network. This was the last batch of fire Pokémon who needed shelter from the oncoming rain. Ash had already seen to the rock and ground types. They were hunkered well underground and would be completely undisturbed by the storm. The fire types, however, weren't hugely fond of going underground, and so a little convincing was necessary.
Over her shoulder, Serena saw a rapid flash of bright light, signaling that a lightning strike had just taken place. She braced herself, and then a dozen seconds later, a very loud, rumbling boom shook the air, causing several of the Pokémon to yelp in fright and others to prance fearfully.
"It's okay! Don't worry!" Serena spoke in a loud but calming voice. She placed a reassuring hand on the back of a Rapidash's neck. "It's just a little further to the cave. You'll all be fine!"
The Pokémon were still skittish, but they listened to her and kept going. As they continued, Serena spotted a few random forest and field Pokémon scurrying about, making their own preparations. Some of them were building shelters, others were running for burrows. Above them, a few flying types rushed to find shelter in the nearby trees or in the aviaries. Everyone knew this storm was going to be a big one!
After a tense couple of minutes, Serena and her group of Pokémon reached the entrance of the cave. Most of the fire types quickly dashed inside but a few had to be coaxed to move beneath the earth. Ash's Charizard stood next to the entrance and acted as a reassuring presence for the other Pokémon. The large fire type gave the others a confident growl along with a sly smile and they reluctantly moved ahead.
With her charges safe, Serena blew out a tense breath and glanced at Ash's Pokémon. "Thanks, Charizard!" she said sincerely.
The dragon-like Pokémon nodded in acknowledgement and then there was a bright flash of light as a large bolt of lightning struck near the horizon. After only a few seconds this time, there was a teeth-rattling crack of thunder, causing Serena to flinch and cover her ears.
Charizard let out a might roar, as if in defiance of the storm. Serena took a steadying breath and glanced around. She knew Ash had to be nearby. The Pokémon were all safe and it was about time for them to take shelter as well.
As if to answer her question, the man she loved jogged into sight, a concerned expression on his face. He fixed his gaze on her and shouted without pretense.
"Serena!" he cried out. "Two of the Rhyhorn won't take cover!"
Serena let out a huff and immediately started running toward Ash. She was pretty sure she knew exactly the Rhyhorn he was talking about.
She reached her secret husband's side and they began making tracks for the rock Pokémon area.
"Is it Hard Knob?!" she asked with some annoyance.
"Yeah," Ash replied, "and Small Time! She's with him too!"
Serena rolled her eyes. "Of course she is," she said.
Serena shook her head in exasperation and kept running. Hard Knob was a young and very stubborn Rhyhorn. Recently, he'd begun courting a female Rhyhorn Serena had named Small Time. The courtship had caused Hard Knob to take his stubbornness to a whole new level. He refused to back down from any challenge whatsoever, many times to Serena's frustration.
The two Pokémon trainers reached the top of a rise which looked down on part of the rock Pokémon area. Serena immediately saw the two Rhyhorn. She also saw that Hard Knob was arrogantly plodding around, looking supremely confident while Small Time was nervous and clearly wanting to shelter from the imminent storm. Serena knew exactly how to handle this!
Serena walked up until she was a few strides from the overconfident Rhyhorn and then shouted in a bold voice.
"Hey, Hard Knob! Do you think you can take that storm on all by yourself!?"
Hard Knob turned its head to look at Serena and gave her an enthusiastic growl. The Pokémon didn't have any intention of backing down.
Serena smiled smugly and changed her tone so it was just a little sarcastic. "Well, okay. But do you think Small Time is gonna like being out here?"
Hard Knob turned and looked at his heart's desire. The female Rhyhorn gave a timid growl and looked at the darkening sky.
Serena continued in a mild mocking voice. "It's gonna really bucket down in a few minutes! Do you think Small Time is gonna want to have a bunch of little Rhyhorn with you after you leave her out here to get all drenched?!"
Hard Knob's eyes went wide as dinner plates. He looked at the sky and, fittingly, right at that moment, a big bolt of lightning struck some distance away.
Small Time whined and Hard Knob suddenly looked very concerned about his potential mate. He growled frantically and started shooing her toward the cave network. Serena and Ash watched with some amusement as the two Rhyhorn made tracks for the safety of the underground.
Serena put her hands on her hips and turned to face her secret husband. "Well, that worked pretty well," she said proudly.
Ash shook his head in an amused manner. "Have a bunch of little Rhyhorn, huh?" he said, finding her method of manipulation to be quite funny.
Serena chuckled and grinned. "Well, if you wanna get a guy to do something, you just need to leverage the woman!" she said without irony.
Ash sent her a mock glare. "Is that how it works?" he asked playfully.
Serena pressed her lips together in a tight smile. "Seems to be, so far," she said coyly.
They shared a moment and then their faces became more serious.
"I think all the Pokémon are safe," Ash said.
Serena nodded. "Yeah, I didn't see any left. Everybody's inside."
At that moment, the wind blew, thunder boomed and both of them looked toward the oncoming storm. Dark grey clouds were rolling in quickly and they could see across the open fields a huge sheet of rain quickly sweeping towards them. The downpour had arrived!
Serena let out a grim and ironic sigh. "Everyone's inside but us," she groaned.
Ash frowned and looked toward the hill where the main building was located. "Come on, RUN!" he said forcefully.
Serena didn't need any urging. Both of them dashed across the field as fast as their legs could carry them. Rain droplets started to fall sporadically and then they became much more regular. With the main building still some ways off, the wind swirled and then a torrent of water began to fall from the heavens.
Serena cried out in dismay and held up her arms to shield her head. The two Pokémon trainers dashed up the gently sloping hill to where the main building was located. Proper shelter was still a ways off, however, there were other structures along the way.
Ash pointed toward the first aviary, which was just to their left. "Quick, over there!" he said, veering to the side.
Serena followed his lead and the two of them ran underneath the elevated structure. Small curtains of water were rushing off the sides of the peaked roof and splashing to the ground all around them. They moved between the two dozen support pillars and took a few relieved gasps as they were momentarily out of the rain. Fortunately, they were only lightly wet. They glanced at each other and then out at the constantly falling rain. Lightning flashed and a few seconds later thunder boomed. They heard the bird Pokémon in the aviary above them squawk and shift nervously.
"Well, that was a close one," Serena said.
"Yeah," Ash nodded.
Just as they started to relax so they could wait out the intense downpour the wind abruptly kicked up. The sheltered area underneath the aviary suddenly became a swirling vortex and Ash and Serena were showered from all sides by wind-blown rain.
"Aghhhh!" Serena cried out as her hopes of staying dry were dashed.
Ash thought quick and spotted their next best choice. "The shed! Quick!" he shouted.
The supply shed was only a short distance from the aviaries and the two of them dashed across the field and threw open the door of the simple structure. They piled inside and mostly shut the door, leaving it open just enough to let some light in.
When Ash had rebuilt the shed for the second time, he'd made it quite a bit bigger than it originally was. Stored inside were all kinds of supplies for all of the seasons. Additionally, the structure was quite solid and the roof was excellent. Even as the rain clattered down on the shingles, not a single drop of water leaked inside. The two trainers breathed a sigh of relief. Now they would stay dry…. or at least not get any more wet.
As the storm raged, Ash and Serena moved closer together and watched through the cracked-open door. Their clothes were damp and droplets of water were peppered all over their skin. As the wind blew outside, a small draft made its way past the door and caused Serena to shiver. The hot days of summer were gone and the cooler days of autumn meant that someone could get chilled quite easily. Damp clothes and clammy skin certainly didn't help matters.
Serena rubbed at her arms and shifted on her feet, trying to generate some heat. Ash immediately took note of her plight and shifted to the side. With a small grunt of offering, he held out his left arm to his girlfriend and invited her to share in his warmth. Serena smiled kindly and immediately huddled up next to Ash. She pressed against his left side and Ash draped his arm across her shoulders and down her side. Serena instantly felt warmer and she let out a happy sigh. Even in the middle of a storm, Ash could make her feel wonderful!
Outside, rain poured from the sky and a few small rivers of water began to flow across the fields. They occasionally opened the door a little more so they could peek outside at their surroundings. They couldn't see any Pokémon in distress and so they stayed put. There was no reason for them to get wet any more than they already had.
As the minutes ticked by, they began to relax and appreciate the moment of togetherness they had. They exchanged a few contented glances and several affectionate squeezes. Serena enjoyed the warmth of her man and Ash enjoyed the presence of his girl! Their clothes began to slowly dry but they remained close to each other. There was no reason to move apart!
The wind suddenly howled again and a brief burst of mist blew against them through the cracked-open door. They each grimaced at the unwelcome wetness and Ash quickly shut the door all the way. They didn't need to keep the door open. All would be fine outside. The room plunged into near total darkness and both of them held fast to each other. The rain fell, the lightning flashed, the thunder boomed and their hearts beat.
Serena let out another happy sigh and let her body melt into Ash's. She eagerly soaked in his warmth and relished the feeling of his left arm, draped over her like a heated blanket. She smiled and breathed slowly as his fingers brushed against her waist. Thunder cracked outside, shaking the shed, but they were safe and mostly dry. Everything was wonderful!
The dim light which crept in around the edges of the door didn't really provide enough illumination for them to see, except when the lightning flashed. The bright bursts from the strikes caused the entrance way of the shed to briefly light up and they could see the piles supplies and racks of tools surrounding them. They could also see each other and they exchanged happy smiles as the storm continued outside.
The wind blew hard and the walls of the shed creaked in protest. Serena snuggled up closer to Ash, taking comfort in his strong presence. Ash shifted slighted and pulled her in tighter. Serena loved this so much!
Then, the girl from Kalos felt her man's fingertips gently brush the top of her left buttocks. A tingle of excitement and arousal instantly sparked to life inside her. She felt warmth bloom inside her belly and nervous energy buzz inside her bosom. She took a deep breath and slowly blew it out. A small flame had just been lit. The question was would it develop into a full-blown inferno?
Serena instantly became aware of how alone and isolated she and Ash were. The darkness, the environment, their closeness and the tiny touches on her sensitive butt, all worked to fuel a sudden surge in romantic desire inside her. There was no one around to disturb them. Anything and everything could happen and mostly importantly of all, unlike in past encounters, this time, the timing of events was perfect!
With her left hand trembling in anticipation, Serena reached up and squeezed the lobe of her left ear, pinching the heart-shaped earring affixed there. It was indeed her safe time but she'd wanted a quick bit of reassurance before she made a move. She swallowed and felt her mouth go dry. Her heart began to pound and her body temperature began to rise steadily. Gone were any sensations of being chilled or damp.
With her concerns sated, Serena took a tense breath and moved her right hand upward, slipping it under Ash's shirt. Excitement pulsated inside her chest and thrilling tingles crackled down the lengths of her fingers as her digits ran along the hot, firm muscles of her man's abdomen.
Tense seconds passed and then Serena felt Ash shift slightly. She turned her head a little and looked up at him. He was intently staring down at her, his eyes smoldering with love and affection. Her touch had done for him what his touch had done to her just a minute ago.
The two Pokémon trainers shifted their feet and turned toward each other. Ash placed his right hand on Serena's waist and his left on her shoulder. Serena kept her right hand underneath Ash's shirt and lifted her left so it rested on Ash's right forearm. Thunder boomed outside, they waited, they breathed and then they each leaned forward and pressed their lips together in a passionate, warm and tender kiss.
Their lips moved and hot sparks of carnal enjoyment sizzled. Ash squeezed his girl's waist and shoulder while Serena played her hand across her man's rippling abs. They breathed through their noses in bursts as muffled grunts and chirps of enjoyment sounded from their throats. For them, kissing was an everyday occurrence, however, a kiss as good as this one only came along once in a while. It was something to be treasured; something to be savored; something to be exploited for all it could be.
Ash's right hand moved from Serena's waist and slipped behind her lower back. Simultaneously, his left hand slid to the side, along her shoulder, until it was cradling the back of her head. He gently and firmly held Serena against his body. He kept their lips pressed together with just the right amount of pressure. Ash had learned quite a bit about kissing and now he was putting it into practice.
Serena knew what was about to happen before it even began and she felt red-hot anticipation burning inside her chest. Eager seconds ticked by, and then, Ash slightly parted his lips, carefully knocking on the door of Serena's little house, just like she'd taught him to do. Serena opened the door wide, the two of them affectionately greeted each other and then, like two professional dancers, they began a ballet of sweet and savory flavor as their mouths worked and their tongues intertwined.
The wind howled, rain clattered atop the roof of the shed and thunder constantly boomed in large, rolling rumbles. All of the noise only added to the intensity of the moment. The storm ensured that they wouldn't be interrupted as they had been in the past. They were completely alone in the near darkness. There was nothing to keep them from each other!
Time became meaningless as they drank in each other's flavor and caressed each other's bodies. Their hearts pounded, their chests filled with rousing excitement, and their loins started to awaken. Both of them felt the warm, aching tingle of desire slowly creep into their systems. Sex was calling them! Would they answer its invitation?
Ash slipped his right hand a bit further under the hem of Serena's shirt and ran it up her lower back. Serena gasped in through her nose and a shiver went through her body. She felt her midsection spasm and she let out a passionate moan before she worked her mouth with a bit extra zeal.
The two of them shifted on their feet and they started to undulate their bodies. One moment they pressed themselves together and then the next they slid their torsos against each other in seductive and stimulating motions. During one of these undulations, Serena felt Ash's firm excitement poke against the front of her left hip. Fire erupted inside her loins and sexual energy surged through body. She gasped and reached around Ash's lower half with her left hand. She clamped her fingers around his right buttocks and gave his body a little pull towards her, seeing if she could encourage him to press his manhood against her most sensitive region.
For Ash, the feeling of his woman's fingers gripping his backside sent thrilling excitement running up and down his legs and torso. He could feel what she was trying to get him to do and that only furthered his manly exhilaration. He ran the fingers of his right hand along the silky smooth skin of Serena's lower back and then he decided to give her exactly what she wanted. Ash gently broke the kiss with his secret wife and looked into her eyes. Then, with a small pull of her waist, a shift of his hips and a little bit of aim, he used his sword to nail just the right spot.
He felt Serena flinch, he watched her eyes go wide and he grinned as her left hand reflexively squeezed his butt. A tremble went through her body and her knees briefly wobbled. Ash held her fast for a few seconds and then he watched as her eyes refocused and a frenzied smile of pure erotic delight spread across her face. She took a ragged breath and fixed him with a look. No words needed to be said. He knew exactly what she wanted.
Serena couldn't believe Ash had actually done that. He was always teasing her with erotic appetizers but rarely delivering a full-course-meal. In the past, he'd made her body sing with stimulation. He'd showered touches all around her womanly features and driven her mad with desire. Several times, she'd hoped he would finally satiate her longing to be touched, but he'd always left her unfulfilled and having to later attend to the matter herself when she was alone in bed.
Now, Serena stared into Ash's eyes and willed him to finally do what she knew he could. Thunder crashed again and the girl from Kalos felt her man shift his left hand off of her right shoulder and reach up for her ear. She felt him gently squeeze her earlobe pinching the earring between his thumb and index finger. An indescribable thrill shot through her body as she realized he was checking to make sure everything was safe. Was Ash about to initiate their first time?!
For one incredibly long moment, all either of them could hear was their ragged breathing and the loud thumping of their hearts. Then, both of them smiled excitedly and Ash once again looped his hand behind Serena's head. He pulled her into another kiss; this one sizzling with electricity and anticipation.
Everything was suddenly much more intense. Their lips tingled with every smack. The flavor of their mouths, always delicious, was even more enjoyable than before. The velvety flesh of their tongues seemed smoother and more erotic than usual. Every move they made sparked amazing feelings inside them, as if they were experiencing it all for the first time. Neither of them knew how long they worked their mouths, but when they finally broke apart, they gasped for breath and held each other close.
Their faces were so close that their exhalations blew on each other's faces in loud, hot bursts. Seconds ticked by as two of them struggled to put into words the amazing feelings which coursed through their bodies. Finally, Ash swallowed the lovely sweetness of Serena which lingered in his mouth and then spoke in a throaty tone.
"Serena…." he said before pausing a moment to breathe. The girl he loved waited eagerly and then he continued. "Do you….." he said hesitantly, an embarrassed smile tugging at his lips. "Do you want to….?"
Serena grinned and lightly chuckled at Ash's words. She took a slow breath and then leaned close to his left ear before speaking in a sensual whisper.
"I'm yours, Ash!" she said, delivering each word in a slow and arousing manner.
Each of them stared into the other's eyes. The words had been spoken. The invitation had been accepted. Now, all that remained was to set about accomplishing the wonderful task which awaited them!
Ash made the first move and smoothly leaned forward. He slipped his head beneath Serena's chin and began to softly kiss her collarbone area. Serena breathed in sharply as red-hot feelings burned inside her chest. She angled her head downward and sniffed her man's jet-black hair. She inhaled his scent and kissed his salty scalp. She brought her hands up and gently grasped hold of his shoulders.
Ash delivered one warm kiss after another to Serena's neck, slowly working his way upward. As his head rose, his hands dropped, smoothly sliding down the curvaceous sides of the woman he loved. His fingers made Serena's skin erupt with erotic, eye watering, tingles and sizzling sparks. When his hands finally reached her hips and slipped beneath the hem of her shirt, her entire torso was alight with sexual energy. The touch of his fingers against the beautiful, soft flesh which flanked her belly button was one of the best things she'd ever felt. Her midsection spasmed, her lungs gasped, and then her man began to slide his fingers up her sides.
A feminine moan escaped Serena's throat and she gasped as she wrapped her arms around her man. Ash lifted his head a bit more and lovingly nuzzled against her left cheek. He hummed softly and tickled her ear with his lips. He felt his fingers slide up, over the base of Serena's ribcage and he continued onward without pausing.
Serena loved the feeling of Ash's hands riding up her sides. Her flesh sizzled and her shirt was slowly-but-surely pushed upward. The feeling of her midsection being exposed sent thrills racing through her. She rubbed her cheek against Ash's and softly kissed the side of his head. She moaned and gasped and then she felt a sudden shocking realization as the bunched together part of her shirt Ash was pushing upward pressed against the bottom of her breasts. Ash wasn't merely caressing her sides; he was also disrobing her!
Serena's breath nearly caught in her throat as she felt the clothing start to slip over her breasts. Without hesitation, she raised her arms above her head, giving Ash a clear path to remove her garment. With rapid gasps, stilted movements and broad smiles, the two of them worked together. Serena angled herself so Ash could easily take hold of the shirt and pull it upward. He promptly did so and soon the shirt was pulling clear of her shoulders, leaving her entire shapely torso exposed.
Even though she'd been shirtless around Ash before, the sensation of her top sliding up, over her head and free of her arms, was a new level of excitement for Serena. The feeling of cool air on her bare torso and the knowledge that only her bra now guarded her modesty made her blood boil with desire. Any chill she might have felt from being unclothed was burned away by the love-fueled furnace, raging inside her.
Ash smiled and lowered his arms, still holding Serena's shirt. He offered the garment to her and she giggled in amusement before taking it. She liked the shirt but, at the moment, she couldn't care less about the piece of clothing. With a flick of her wrist and a fierce grin, she tossed the shirt aside and then returned her attention to the man she loved.
They hesitated a moment and then they reached out for each other once again. Ash's hands slid across the smooth and now bare skin of Serena's shoulders and back. He absolutely adored the way his fingers glided along her silky flesh. In the past, he'd hugged and caressed her bare torso when she'd worn a sports bra. This time, however, it was different. This time her skin seemed to exude a warm energy which soaked into his very being and made him feel happy and content in the best possible way. He loved her so much!
For Serena, the second Ash's fingertips touched her bare skin an exciting tingle rippled across her body. His caress was so gentle, loving and perfect that her eyes started to water from sheer joy. Her lungs spasmed and she nearly sobbed from the sheer elation and ecstasy which coursed through her body. She'd waited so, so, so long for this!
She gasped for breath as Ash's hands settled on to her shoulders and then slid around to her back. She looked him in the eye and then reached forward with her hands. She pressed her palms against Ash's stomach, feeling his powerful muscles just as he felt the elegant curves of her back. She soaked in the amazing emotions of the moment and then she slipped her hands under the hem of Ash's shirt. It was time for him to join her in being shirtless!
Ash knew what Serena was doing the second her fingers slipped inside his shirt. He struggled to contain a silly grin as she slowly lifted the fabric of his T-shirt and exposed his muscular torso. As she moved her arms, she made sure to run her hands and her eyes over his body. Ash loved the caress of her fingers as they tickled his abs and then lingered briefly on his pectorals. He eagerly watched her as she eyed his manly form and then he felt a thrill as her gaze briefly dipped downward toward his other manly form. He saw an excited grin spread across her face and a brief snigger which made her body jiggle. Her eyes then flicked upward and she met his gaze. With a smirk, she continued pulling his shirt upward, lifting the garment over his head, as high as she could manage.
Serena, being a bit shorter than Ash, couldn't quite lift his shirt free of his arms. After a moment of standing on her tiptoes, Ash took hold of his shirt and pulled it off himself. With a sly smile, he wadded the fabric into a ball and tossed it aside. They then eyed each other for a very long, arousing moment, taking slow and measured breaths.
Ash thoroughly appreciated the sexy, scantily clad curves of his secret wife's torso and the shimmering light in her eyes. Serena relished the powerful poise of her man and the tender care he used to inflict his wonderful strength on her. Both of them felt intense love for the other burning within their chests. With a tiny step, they closed the distance between them, wrapped their arms around each other and then locked their mouths together in a wet, passionate, hungry and energetic kiss.
The feeling of skin touching skin was amazing. They'd never experienced an embrace which was so intimate and sensual. Their hands wandered and their bodies writhed. Serena felt every inch of her man's big and strong torso. Ash, meanwhile, ran his hands over the curves of Serena's incredible body. He felt her waist, her stomach, her back. In fact, the only place he didn't explore was the two lovely mounds of flesh still concealed by Serena's bra. His hands teased and approached the sumptuous regions, but he never partook of their exquisite feminine offerings.
Time no longer had meaning for the two lovers. The rain continued to clatter on the roof of the shed and the thunder occasionally boomed, shaking the small structure. The sky darkened even more than before and it became extremely hard to make out any details at all in the increasingly dim light. Fortunately, light was irrelevant for what they had planned. In fact, the darkness added a further excitement and mystery to the upcoming erotic activities.
Flesh moved against flesh. Hands slid and squeezed. Arms wrapped and embraced. Mouths worked and the sound of kissing and squelching filled the air. Finally, the fire of romance was fully stoked! Without a word, Ash slipped his arms downward and took hold of his love's lower half. He broke the kiss and Serena looked at him in puzzlement for a moment. Then, he lifted her off the ground in one smooth motion; her legs draping over his right arm and her back held securely by his left.
They could barely see each other's faces in the darkness but that didn't matter. Serena giggled and wrapped her arms around her man's neck. Ash then stepped carefully and carried her toward the back of the shed. After some delicate maneuvering, he reached his goal and slowly set her down on a pile of blankets. Serena's mind instantly flashed back to the harsh and sarcastic words she'd spoken over a year ago; the ones where she'd told Ash she wanted to have him make love to her atop the pile of blankets.
Serena smiled, chuckled and then whispered in a barely audible voice. "You remembered," she breathed, a moment before Ash softly kissed her on the lips.
"Mmmm hmmmm," Ash hummed sweetly, nuzzling against her cheek.
Their breath was hot, their hearts beat rapidly and they slowly scooted into a place where they could be comfortable. They kissed, they nuzzled and they sniffed in each other's scent as they sat face-to-face atop the blankets. Serena felt Ash reach his arms around her sides and she responded in-kind, expecting another magical embrace. Instead, she sensed his positioning was a little different from a hug, and a moment later, she felt an electrifying thrill shoot through her as her secret husband grasped her bra clasp in the fingers of his hands and began to twist it. Her loins twitched, her midsection spasmed and her breasts tingled. Excitement like she'd never felt roiled within her. She was about to be topless! Soon, she would be naked!
Her mouth was dry as she waited for the amazing *pop* of her clasp being undone. Ash worked, she waited, Ash still worked….. and Serena started to feel a measure of humor creep into her emotions. Bra straps could be a little tricky, and if a person had never dealt with one before…..
Serena felt Ash shift slightly as he intently tried to figure out the correct way to twist the tiny device. She struggled not to laugh uproariously. She didn't want to ruin the magical moment by making light of it. She began to wonder if she would have to assist him or if he would simply give up and rip the undergarment from her body. A large part of her hoped he would choose the latter option.
Then, without warning, the clasp popped free and Serena's breath caught in her throat. She felt the tension of the strap disappear and a moment later, the soft cups covering her modesty began to slide away from her velvety flesh. Serena took a long, slow breath and then her bra tumbled from her chest. She felt cool air on her bare flesh as excitement like never before welled-up inside her. She was finally, at long last, topless in front of her man! If only he could see her…..
Part of Ash couldn't believe he'd just done that. Disrobing a girl was so far beyond his code of conduct, it was unthinkable. But this was Serena. This was the girl he loved! This was the girl he was about to make love too! He hesitated as the thought again entered his mind. All of this was so outside of what he'd envisioned when he'd first begun a relationship with Serena. Despite all that, he'd seen the look in her eyes. He knew how much she wanted this. And, if he was really honest, deep down, a part of him wanted this too. Just not the part he usually let make decisions.
Ash slid his hands along Serena's sides, savoring the smooth curves of her lovely feminine frame. He was tempted to bring his hands toward her chest and feel the wonderful things he couldn't actually see. He ultimately decided against that move though. He just couldn't cross that line. Instead, he moved close to her, pressed his forehead against hers and let their bodies slowly come together.
Serena waited with eager anticipation for Ash's hands to take the place of her bra. Her skin tingled and her body was coiled for a powerful reaction. She was so ready to start the process of lovemaking! First it would be her breasts and then the rest of her body. She hoped none of her feminine form would escape the wonderful ravishing of the man she loved!
She was a little surprised when Ash pressed his head against hers and then slowly moved so they were together. Despite the unexpected move, she wasn't disappointed. His hands clasped her shoulders and then his muscular torso slid against her topless form. She gasped in sharply as the elastic flesh of her breasts met with the firmness of Ash's pectorals. Sparks exploded and her flesh sizzled with pure sexual energy. She had to clamp her mouth shut to keep from crying out like a movie actress in an intimate scene. She didn't think it was ladylike to behave in such a ridiculous manner. She still moaned intensely and then planted a fierce kiss on Ash's mouth as a thank you for what he'd just done to her.
Ash continued to press forward and Serena was soon flat on her back, lying atop the cushy blankets. The two of them squirmed and shifted a bit until they were settled down in a comfortable position. Serena gasped as she felt Ash's body pressing down on her. Every move he made sent shivers of excitement racing up and down her bare torso. Her breasts were somewhat compressed under his weight and she loved it! As they moved, she slowly spread her legs apart and ensured that her man's lower half was in the correct position. It wouldn't be long now!
They kissed, they caressed, they savored the intense, sensual tingling that sparked every time the bare flesh of their chests moved against each other. Soft gasps and low moans sounded as they began to learn what the other liked and how to go about touching them. Then Serena felt Ash lift himself up a bit and shift his positioning. She instinctively realized this was the beginning of the big moment. She reached down with her right hand and placed her fingers atop the button securing her shorts. If Ash didn't remove her final coverings, she would happily do so herself! Instead of going for her remaining clothing, however, he slid his arms upward and gently cradled her head in his hands. He stared down into her eyes, barely able to see her features in the darkness.
Serena waited for several heartbeats and then let out an inquiring, feminine chirp, prodding Ash to tell her what was going on.
Ash smiled ruefully and loving brushed Serena's face with his right thumb. "You're so beautiful," he said softly.
Serena smiled in kind appreciation and took a steadying breath. She loved Ash so much and she could finally, truly say she was ready for this!
She was so glad they'd averted a disastrous first time a few months ago. Aside from a possible pregnancy, they would have missed out on all the fun they'd had in the interim time. She'd made her jokes, she'd played her games. She'd flirted, teased, and done everything she'd ever wanted to with the man she loved while they were still platonic. Now it was time to consummate their relationship! It was time for them to take the next step and officially become lovers! It was time for a whole new chapter of fun and games!
Serena's eyes teared up and she spoke in a small, emotional voice. "I love you, Ash!" she breathed.
"I love you too," he replied. He reached up with the fingers of his right hand and brushed aside some of her golden hair. He sighed and then bent his head down so he could kiss the side of her face.
"I'm gonna miss this," he said with some wistfulness.
Ash began to lovingly caress the side of Serena's face with his lips and nose but her mind was suddenly elsewhere. The way he'd spoke his last words gave her pause. He'd sounded almost sad. She had no idea why he would feel that way! Everything they were doing was so wonderful and he was clearly onboard with it. Was something wrong?!
Ash began to kiss Serena on the lips and she responded in-kind, however, her mind continued to race. She didn't know what Ash could possibly be going to miss in their relationship. They were about to add something wonderful to their interactions. All their love and tender affection was going to be multiplied many times over.
She felt Ash adjust himself again and then she felt him start to reach down toward her waist with his right arm. The big moment was upon her…. and she was suddenly overcome with a sense of guilt and worry. She wanted their first time to be perfect and free of all things negative. If there was anything at all which was troubling Ash, she would never forgive herself for not speaking up.
Ash's hand closed around waistband of Serena's shorts and Serena's hand gently closed around Ash's left shoulder.
"Wait," she breathed.
Ash froze, genuinely surprised by Serena's move. "Huh?" he grunted.
Serena took a breath and hoped she wasn't making a huge mistake. "Is something wrong, Ash?" she said softly.
Ash repositioned his arms so he could hold himself above Serena. He hesitated a moment and then replied in an uncertain voice.
"Uh, no," he said.
Serena bit her tongue and then continued. "You said you were gonna miss something. What are you gonna miss?"
Ash let out a very conflicted sigh and then was silent for a moment. When he spoke, his voice was once again a little wistful.
"Well, I was just meaning that I'm gonna miss all the fun we've been having," he said.
Serena blinked a few times and a puzzled expression crept over her face. "I….. uh…. I don't…. understand Ash," she said slowly. "We're still gonna be able to do everything we've been doing. And I think sex is gonna be a lot of fun!"
Ash nodded, conceding the point. "Yeah," he replied. "But, it's just…" he paused for a moment, struggling to put his feelings into words. "I guess….. I've just really liked the chase….. with you."
Serena still didn't understand. "The chase?" she repeated back.
Ash nodded again. "Yeah," he said. After a moment of silence, he continued. "I guess it's sort of like trying to catch a Pokémon or beat a gym."
Serena was intrigued. "What do you mean?"
Ash took a breath and readjusted his body. He gently lowered himself down on Serena so he could rest his arms. Their faces were separated by the smallest of distances and their exhalations tickled the tiny hairs below their noses. They both appreciated the feeling of their bare chests pressing together again, but the interaction had lost much of its sexual excitement.
Ash worked his mouth for a moment and then spoke. "These last few months have been the happiest of my life, Serena," he said sincerely.
Serena felt a lump form in her throat. Every time Ash spoke lovingly of her it pulled at her heartstrings. She took a shuddering breath and listened to him continue.
"I really love being around you," he said slowly. "I love how playful you are and how you like to tease me!"
Serena giggled a little and then became silent. Ash giggled as well and continued.
"I really like teasing you as well," he said in a playful tone. "I love every time we snuggle and I always wonder if maybe we'll lose control and end up sleeping together!" he was thoughtful for a moment and then added, "it's really exciting….. all the things we've been doing, without sleeping together."
Serena's eyes widened as understanding finally dawned on her. Ash was feeling now what she had felt several months ago when he had declared his love to her and they'd nearly slept together.
"Oh, Ash," she said lovingly. "I get it!"
Ash made a curious grunt and Serena quickly elaborated.
"Remember when you told me you loved me after that little contest and we nearly ended up sleeping together?"
Ash nodded and Serena continued.
"Remember how I said that we needed to stop but you kept going,"
Ash sent her a critical look. "You didn't stop either," he said flatly.
Serena chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, I know," she said. She took a breath and then spoke again. "The reason I wanted to stop was that there were a bunch of fun things I wanted to do before we were intimate."
Now Ash looked intrigued. He waited and Serena continued.
"I wanted to tease you and get teased. I wanted to go on dates and kiss you like never before. I wanted to do something sexy in the shower. I wanted you to run your hands all over me and drive me crazy."
Serena sniggered and blushed as some of her more erotic fantasies came to mind. She bit her lip and then whispered her final comment.
"I wanted to nearly be naked around you and see what you'd do!"
Both of them sniggered and giggled for a moment and then Serena continued. "I've gotten to do all of those things and that's why I'm ready to be with you." She paused for a heartbeat and then pressed ahead. "But, Ash, if there's still things you want to do before we're together, we can wait until later."
Ash let out a conflicted sigh and then subtly shook his head. "Serena, you've been wanting to do this for a while," he said softly with tenderness and affection. "I want to make you happy!"
Serena reached up and placed her right hand on the side of Ash's face. "I am happy," she breathed in an intense whisper. "I'm so, so happy we're a couple and that we have this amazing relationship."
She paused for a moment to let her words sink in and then she continued. "We don't have to be together right now! I want you to be able to live out all your fantasies, just like I got to do."
Ash still didn't look convinced. Serena could tell that he was doing this for her and she really appreciated that. She stretched her neck upward and gave him a small kiss on his chin.
"Tell me one of the things you want do," she said directly.
Ash looked a little surprised and then a little embarrassed. He mulled the idea over in his mind and blushed slightly before he leaned his head down so he could whisper his fantasy into Serena's ear. Serena listened and then her eyes went wide as Ash finished sharing one of his dreams. Ash pulled back and they gazed into each other's eyes. Both of them blushed and had naughty looks on their faces. Ash was the one to break the silence.
"So," he began gingerly. "Is that even possible?"
Serena sniggered and excitedly chewed on her lip. She hadn't known Ash was so imaginative, or erotic. She was learning more every day.
"I don't know for sure," she said in an amused and excited voice. A small, girlish squeal escaped her throat and then she added. "I guess we'll just have to find out!"
Ash chuckled and Serena joined him. They nuzzled against each other and exchanged small kisses. The sound of the rain began to slow and the thunder became less frequent. They snuggled together, feeling each other's breath and soaking in the warmth their closeness generated.
After several minutes of silence, Ash spoke up. "So, you're okay if we don't have sex?" he said.
Serena let out a sigh and then gave him an exaggerated nod. "Absolutely," she whispered. She waited a moment and then continued. "When I said, I'm yours Ash, I really mean that. If you want to be with me now, that's fine. If you want to do it tomorrow, that's fine." She gave him another small kiss and then whispered again. "And if you want to wait a while, that's fine too."
Ash smiled and pulled Serena close. "Have I told you how much I love you?" he said warmly.
Serena chuckled and delivered another small kiss. "Not in the last couple of minutes," she said wryly.
Both of them mused happily and then simply enjoyed the feeling of being together. They didn't know how much time passed but the rain finally slowed to the point that they felt they could make the run to the main building without getting totally drenched.
Ash sat up and Serena followed suit. She felt around for her discarded bra and quickly located the undergarment. She cast a glance at Ash and then turned her torso toward him. She didn't know if he could see her in the near total darkness of the shed, but she wanted to give him this final chance to take in the sight of her exposed bust. She felt a little disappointed over the lack of sex as she slipped her bra back on but she dismissed those feelings and took comfort in the fact that her secret husband was the best man on the planet. Sooner or later, they'd be together, and it would be quite the experience!
The two of them moved to the front of the shed and donned their discarded shirts. They then made a quick dash across to the main building, getting only a little wet in the light rain. Once they were inside, they exchanged a few steamy looks and sniggered over what they'd just experienced. They settled down in the living room and sat next to each other on the couch, waiting for the rain to completely stop. They whispered and snuggled but mostly they simply enjoyed the other's presence.
When the rain finally let up, they headed outside to check on the Pokémon and the status of the reserve. They were happy to discover that everyone had made it through the storm without incident. Other than a fight in the caves over a practical joke gone wrong, all was well. There was no major damage, only a few downed branches and a little bit of erosion. They did some cleanup and then the sun began to set.
Like so many evenings before, they returned to the main building and worked together to cook up a nice meal. The conversation over dinner that night was a little more sensual than usual. Both of them agreed that after the intense and unresolved encounter they'd experienced, they would each have to take care of business on their own that night.
After dinner was finished, they spent a few minutes getting each other warmed up for the night's later activities before they went their separate ways. Ash headed off to bed and Serena began the trek to the Ketchum residence. Once they were settled in, they exchanged a few steamy text messages and then their phones went quiet as they attended to other, more important and enjoyable, matters.
An hour later, Ash's phone rang with an incoming call from Serena. He answered it and both of them greeted each other in blissful and happy tones. The sound of their voices matched the warm and contented feelings they felt inside themselves.
After they exchanged a few jokes and steamy comments, Serena giggled and spoke in a playful tone.
"So, I'm curious," she began. "With everything that happened, did you actually see me when I didn't have a bra on?"
Ash sniggered for a moment and then replied in a somewhat sheepish tone. "Well….. I sort of saw an outline," he said.
Serena felt a thrill shoot through her. Since they'd decided not to have sex that evening, she'd hoped that she hadn't wasted the reveal of her bust to the man she loved. She really wanted that moment to have a big impact.
"But, you didn't actually see what they look like?" she said excitedly.
Ash hem hawed for a moment and then admitted that he hadn't clearly seen his girlfriend's bust, despite literally laying on top of her.
Serena giggled for a time and then spoke in a very playful tone. "Well, I guess that's one secret I've still got from you, Ash Ketchum!" she said. She waited a heartbeat and then added in a sultry tone, "for now!"
Both of them giggled and laughed. They also felt a new wave of excitement over this latest development in their relationship. A few moments passed and then Serena spoke up again.
"Hey, Ash," she said coyly. "Speaking of boobs, you remember that one thing you said you wanted to try?"
Ash chuckled. "Yeah," he replied.
Serena sniggered for a long moment and then continued in a supremely jovial voice. "Well, I did a little testing…. and… I think it's possible!"
Both of them started to snigger and then laugh outright. It took short while for them to regain their composure. Ash was the one to finally speak.
"Well," he began in a mock serious tone. "I guess we'll just have to do a thorough test in the future! For scientific purposes of course!"
Both of them immediately burst out laughing again.
With mirthful tears flowing, they bid each other good night. They settled down to bed for real this time, each of them excited over what the future held for their relationship.
