My fingers massaged the taut muscles of his shoulders and he threw his head back practically growling in pleasure and making me smile.

He needed to relax. He was always too tense. He worried too much and, if you asked me, I would say he was often too anxious and just a little bit prone to overreaction.

He was still more than perfect, though.

I kneaded his tense muscles, willing them not to - for at least tonight - be so tightly stretched.

Tonight I wanted all his worries to vanish. Tonight I simply wanted him to relax and enjoy.
