Quarantined love

During the COVID lockdown, my girlfriend and I had been stuck at home for months. Desire had built up, but we feared the risk of intimate moments indoors. We decided to sneak up to the apartment rooftop at dusk for fresh air and the city view. A cool breeze met us at the top. The sunset painted the sky red as the city glowed gold below. We embraced by the railing, her mask still on. When we kissed, she never removed it. That made it feel like I was with a stranger, heightening the thrill. We quickly undressed and came together in the evening breeze. The mask’s mystery made my movements urgent; our climax hit hard and fast. Afterward, we held each other, watching the beautiful sunset, filled with satisfaction and excitement. Even during the pandemic, this rooftop moment gave us something new and intensely alive.
