My Beloved
I sat on the bed and closed my eyes. The minutes ticked slowly by. My husband of three hours was gone for the time being and I began to mentally prepare myself.
I have to be honest, I was excited. Since our first kiss at the altar, my insides had been bubbling with anticipation. Actually, to be totally truthful I'd have to say that they had been bubbling since the first time he held my hand.
We had been on our second date and he had grabbed my hand to help me out of the car. I felt like I had been licked by fire. I had wanted this night ever since.
Still, I was nervous. I glanced down at myself. Perhaps I wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world but even I knew that the white lace lingerie that floated around my body was pleasant to look at.
I stood and walked over to the mirror. After staring at myself, critiquing every inch, I finally undid the pins from my dark hair and let it drift around my shoulders. Fluffing it a bit, I nodded and made my way back to the bed.
I was sitting there, my eyes closed again, when he opened the door. I opened them as he softly shut the door and leaned against it, watching me.
I smiled at him. My insides twisted in nervousness and excitement.
I was unsure for a moment what to say or do. Should I beacon to him? Should I tell him I'm ready? Should I rush to him and kiss him the way I wanted to? Or should I just sit and wait?
I chose the last.
For an entire minute we just stared at each other. His blue eyes boring into my brown. Then he straightened. I scooted back on the bed, my feet curling up underneath me. He walked toward me, I scooted back farther. He smiled, then jumped on the bed.
I started, my eyes wide. He laughed. Then laid down so that his face was by my feet. Then he took hold of my ankle and began to kiss my leg. Hot steamy kisses across my calf, over my knee...He let go of my leg and gripped my hand and planted a large smacking kiss right in the middle of my palm. Looking up into my eyes he smiled, "I love you, my beloved wife." Then he knocked me backward on the bed and continued to kiss me until morning.
