The cold months always give me the blahs, which is why, every January, I book a trip to the Caribbean. The weather is warm, the food is wonderful, and the men are all so hot and friendly. Always happy to help me shake off the winter blues.
CLOSE UP
Did he just, I mean, really?!? He never says it. Not in all the time we've been together. Almost 3 years. It's always "I love fucking you", or "God, I love how tight your hole is". But never, you know, that.
Maybe having almost lost me in the crash made him realize it. He has been almost uncharacteristically attentive and tender since I was released from the hospital almost two weeks ago now. Taking time off work, ordering my favorite foods, sitting on the sofa with me binging my "ridiculous" rom-coms... not to mention changing my bandages, helping me in and out of bed, and making sure I take my pain meds. He even set an alarm on his phone to let him know when the doctor said it would be safe for me to be sexually active again. And when we finally did, he was so gentile and generous. Not that he was ever selfish, but sex with Carl was usually a vigorous, one and done affair.
This time was decidedly different. He took it slow, kissing me long and deep as his hand slipped into my breifs. He undressed me, peeling me out of my clothing piece by piece, being careful of my remaining wounds, and gently rearranged me on my back. He quickly shed his hoodie and jeans, grabbing a bottle of lube from under the couch. As he slowly pushed inside me, he looked me in the eyes. His expression was one of longing, sadness, and bliss all in one. That's when he said it. He actually said it.
"I love you Tom. I never want to be without you, not even for a day, ever again."
I felt myself welling up as he made love to me. In fact, we were both so moved with passion that he had me over and over again right there in front of the TV. He couldn't get enough... and I was In absolute heaven.
Not even a week later, we were married at City Hall. I can't stop smiling.
I LOVE YOU
