A summer rain I'll never forget


A summer rain I’ll never forget nor will I forget the taste of his kiss or the feel of his hands as he pulled me to him in a way no other man ever had.   

I had seen him working on my friend’s parent’s ranch that summer.  It was the summer I turned 18 and it would the summer that would change my life forever for many reasons. 

I would watch him from the kitchen window as he tended to the horses and did whatever it was that ranch hands did.  His skin was kissed by the sun and always glittered and shined from sweat.  He smelled like musky sunshine and his jeans and boots fit like he was born in them. 
I went for a walk that day.  I should have stayed in.  We were warned by the weather service that things could get bad but being a know it all I decided to throw caution to the wind and wandered out anyway. 

I was a good mile, maybe even mile and a half from the ranch when the wind started to blow.  The rain came fast and hard and it was blinding.  I tried to look for shelter but saw none. 

All of a sudden and out of nowhere, there he was on top of his American Saddlebred. He put his hand down and moved the wet hair from across the front of my face.  I looked up at him and he put out his hand motioning for me to grab it and I did.  With that he pulled me up as if I weighed nothing at all and there I was on top of the horse with this man I had only daydreamed about. 

The barn offered us shelter from the storm
He pulled on the reigns and the horse took off with us on him.  I sat behind him and held onto to him for dear life burying my chin and face into his back. He said he knew of a barn down yonder and we would be safe there until the storm passed. 

Come back soon to read what happened between Lucia and her cowboy as they waited for the sky to clear.

My name is Lucia

Valley View in the middle of summer
My name while I was growing up was Lucia Angelina Moretti.  I have been Lucia Angelina DeSimone.  I now go by the name of Lucia Moretti-Shea because in my second marriage I was not giving up Moretti as I did in the first. 


Do I dare write what I think in such a public forum?  I mean, do I dare write what I really think in such a public forum?  I am talking about not holding back, not withholding anything, FULL FREAKING DISCLOSURE?  Would it be read?  Would it be worth reading?  After all, Valley View looks like a quiet quaint sweet place to live but man oh man, underneath all those landscaped green lawns and edged walkways are secrets, lies and betrayal.  

Okay, okay, there is also love, romance and moments of sheer and complete perfection.  This is going to be a wild ride that sometimes gets as hot as a summer night in Tennessee.
