M-Meaningful
They walked along the beach after they danced their last dance of the evening. She took off her shoes and handed them to him, and together they walked along the shore- the sand and saltwater between their toes. After they walked a little farther down the line, he pulled the blanket from the basket and they sat down on the sand.
"I brought all your favorites," he said, pulling out the picnic basket.
"Are you my prince tonight," she asked, pleasure shining in her brown eyes.
"I'm always your prince," he quipped.
She kissed him softly as he massaged her tired feet. The stars in the sky were shining just as radiantly as the ones in her eyes. "How did I ever get so lucky," he asked her, brushing the stray hair away from her face. "How does someone like me get to spend eternity with the most beautiful girl in the world?"
"You need your eyes examined," she said. "I am the lucky one. I am the one who gets to spend my life with an incredible man that makes me feel like I'm the only one he sees."
"Because you are Red… I hope you feel it every time I look at you…every time I kiss you…"
"How about you stop talking and show me."
"You're not hungry," he asks.
"Not for food I'm not."
His eyes seem to sparkle when he helps position her onto the blanket. She takes a moment to look into his eyes before she pulls him towards her by his tie.
"As sexy as I think you are in this suit and tie, you need to lose it. I really want to see you naked right now."
"As long as you lose the dress," he says in return.
"Just the dress," she asks friskily.
"All of it," he admits. "I want to see you naked."
They laughed in tune with each other, amusement written all over their faces. His hands are soft on her delicate skin as he pulls the zipper of her dress down. She feels like a teenager about to be caught behind the bleachers, but she does not care. His kisses glide up and down her body as she turns in his arms.
"I love you cowboy, "she whispers in his ear as he kisses her again.
"I love you Red," he whispers back.
He listens to her heartbeat against his chest as they make love on the beach. It starts out slow and sensual as they hunger for each other, and soon turns into a raging inferno.
"I feel like I ran a marathon," she says, her breathing now coming in gulps.
"I think maybe we did," he jokes, kissing her hard and deep.
She dropped her head onto his bare chest and kissed it, allowing his arms to wrap around her as she looked at him.
"Best marathon of my life," she says.
"Mine too, "He agrees.
He pulls the blanket, now tangled between them, back onto the sand and they look at the stars again.
"What a wonderful night it is," she says. "I think I like this star gazing idea of yours."
They both burst out laughing and then he kisses her again. "I like it too," he agrees.
They spent a few more hours just cuddled together on the beach, watching the stars and loving every minute of their life together. They would return home that night to a hot shower for two and a full body massage, as he promised. She fell asleep nestled in his arms with a smile on her face and dreams in her heart.
