Wrapped In My Wife

“What’s this for? I didn’t forget our anniversary again, did I?” Her eyes widen, but I smile and shake my head.

“Just that one time.” I like to remind her that I’ve never forgotten. And to be fair, we’d been so tangled up in the sheets of that hotel room she didn’t know what day it was until I reminded her.

“What is it?” she asks, holding the box in her hand.

“It’s a present for you. I thought you might need something special to remind you of this day. And how much you mean to me.” She gets a little teary, and I kiss her forehead. “Just open it.”

Inside is a necklace with a long gold bar. On the front it has three birthstones, one for each child. And on the back there’s an inscription.

“Oh Dylan. I love it. What does it say?” she asks, wiping away her tears.

“It says, All because we fell in love,” I tell her and kiss her cheek.

“Why did you have to go and make me cry? I was doing so good,” she whines before wrapping her arms around me and burying her face in my neck. She laughs through the tears and I rub her back.

“Because I love you. And I want you to look at it and remember that we’re all here because of you. Because you love us.”

“I love it. And I love you. Thank you for today and for always making me feel so special.”

She leans back, and I brush away her tears. I take the necklace from her and help her put it on.

“It looks beautiful,” I say and give her a quick kiss on the lips. “Queen Mommy?” I ask, and she rolls her eyes. “Come on, it has a nice ring to it.”

“It does. But if we don’t get off this bed, King Daddy is going to be late taking these kids to school.”

“Fine, but your royal duty is to give me that booty,” I say as I flip her over and spank her butt.

She squeaks before she’s off the bed and tries to chase me down the hall. God, I love that woman and every second of our lives together.

THE END!
