I’ll wait as long as you need.

“I’m ready,” she breathes against my lips.

The next time my lips touch hers, it’s with bruising strength. Her legs part, allowing me to step between them.

“Do you want to take it out first?” she asks, lifting her arm.

I shake my head, already fighting with my belt buckle. “I can’t wait. I need you first.”

Her laughter is bubbly and light. Pure, just like she is.

Grasping the back of her neck, I gaze down at her, knowing that I’ve never loved her more than I do right now and that the same will be true again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.

The same as it’s been for the past two years.

Every day, I fall more and more in love with my wife. The woman who knows every part of my soul and still loves me, even the darkest side.

Shelby is my love, my light, my life.

A lifetime with her isn’t enough.

The End.
