She leaned in close and placed her cheek right over my heart.
In her hair, I whispered, “I love you.”
She pressed a kiss over my heart and whispered back, “I love you, too.”
Me – Do you prefer being on top or bottom?
Minx – A pancake ain’t done till it’s flipped on both sides.

Our wedding day was perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Even as we slow danced to our song, little raindrops started to fall.
That was a good sign, and I welcomed it.
Since I was considered high risk, we had agreed to wait to go on our honeymoon, but he had promised me to make it worth it.
We went to Virgin Mary’s for our reception. Abel and Birdie had gone all out with the help of everyone.

And now... I was being carried into the house, bridal style, by Dominik, and then through the house and to our bedroom.
I frowned at the closed door, but he winked, kissed me stupid, and then sat me down on my feet.
He opened the door, and then I gasped.
A bucket of sparkling grape was sitting there with two glasses, as well as a playlist was going through a small speaker.
In long tapered holders at different heights were candles that were already lit.
They surrounded the bed.
And I felt my eyes tear up at what was on our bed.
That was when he gestured, “No bugs.”
Our bed that was covered in wildflowers.
I felt tears gather in my eyes as I looked up at my husband, then whispered, “I love you.”
He winked, “I love you, too.”
Then he stripped be bare, laid me down on our bed, the scent of wildflowers wafted up, and he made love to me, long, slow, and passionately.
“Always feels like the first time with you,” I said in a whisper.
He winked, “Always.”
