She frowned. “Stop.”
“What?”
“Stop playing with me like that.”
My right hand reached up and my thumb caressed her cheek. “Granted I don’t feel like I’m completely grown-up. We’re not teenagers anymore. One moment I’m scared to death and the next I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. I think I tossed that in there to see which one of us gets more scared at the idea of four or five years together. That’s like three times as long than any girlfriend I ever went out with.” I said with a smile. “So it is a bit scary but then I see your face and everything’s okay.”
She flushed red and reached up and pinched a nipple.
“Oh, baby. Do that again.”
She started searching and I twisted away. “No, no, no, no. I’m sorry. I take it back. Please don’t.” Her finger ran down my stomach, tickling my hair along the way. “No, no, your highness, I beg your forgiveness!” as I slipped off the side of the bed and landed with a thump on the floor.
“Mmmm mmm. I have skills. Wicked skills.”
“I hear you. I don’t even want to know what you were going to do down there.”
“I’m not sure myself what I was going to do, as long as as you don’t do it to me.”
“Sweet thing. I promise to always worship you and your body. I’ll never mock you or make fun of you and if I can remind myself, I’ll add that to my bucket list to love you from your head to your toes, one kiss at a time. Every inch of you.”
“Get back up here.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
“Well, we’ll know we’ve finally made it when I get home and I open the door to find you standing there totally naked without a hint of embarrassment because you know I love you just the way you are. Maybe with some honey or chocolate dipping sauce on the side.” I said with a grin.
She flushed red but laughed at the idea. “That sounds wonderful but I doubt it’ll happen at my house.”
“Hey.” She looked up at me. I leaned down and kissed her. “No, but it’s going to happen at our house or apartment someday.”
Her eyes glistened and she wrapped her arms around me.
