She draws small circles around my nipples, teasing them through my light cotton shirt. “Oh, I can think of a few ways.”
 
 I catch her left hand in mine, lacing our fingers together while she smiles adoringly at me. This woman is my everything when there was a time I didn’t think I wanted anything. I just hadn’t foundheryet. Now, I can’t imagine my life without her.
 
 I raise our intertwined hands, pressing a long kiss on her finger, above her set of wedding bands.
 
 Then she lifts my left hand and reciprocates the action. “I love you, Nate. My amazing husband.”
 
 I place both her palms on my chest, over my heart, and cover them with mine. “I love you more, Teddie Bear. I could never write a story more perfect than ours.”
