Under His Roof - Love Under Lockdown

He wraps his arms around me, and I relax. There is something so comforting about just being here with him. I feel my eyes getting heavy, so I start to think happy thoughts. I want to have good dreams as I sleep. I picture living like this with him for years and years to come.

I picture our marriage, maybe some kids down the line.

That would be nice.

I realize that I really do want everything with him. I hear him snoring softly behind me, so I decide that I can talk to him about it when we wake up. I feel myself falling asleep.

This has been the best and happiest day that I have ever had in my life.

It’s amazing to find a person that completes you and makes you feel so much.

Now that I’ve found that person, I’m never letting mine go.

A year later

It has been eight months since a cure for Coronavirus was developed and the lockdown ended for everyone.

I have never been happier.

Matt and I have been living together the whole time.

I think one of the most exciting moments was when he proposed to me. It was very romantic, consisting of a trip to the beach, where we had dinner and he got down on his knee and asked me to officially become his, always and forever.

Of course I said yes!

There was absolutely no question in my mind.

I had never wanted anyone the way I wanted him.

This was followed by a night of our usual hot sex.

The way he ravaged me still gives me chills when I think about it.

I’m really starting to enjoy the rough passionate love making we share, though the gentle nights are not to be overlooked.

Those capture the sweet aspects of our love so perfectly.

The day of my dreams finally arrived. I married Matt with a church wedding in Napa. It was a small, intimate ceremony, yet so beautiful. I never wanted a big wedding. I’m too shy for stuff like that.

We both cried a little as we recited our vows. Matt’s were so sweet and touching. I loved that my strong, handsome alpha man could be sweet and sensitive with me.

Even though we say it plenty, it’s always nice when your partner announces how they feel about you out loud. I was a little worried about this day because I know most guys are afraid of marriage and committing to a woman, especially given Matt had a reputation for being a player.

But all of that is behind him now, and he made me the happiest woman in the world again by being ready to settle down. Actually, he proved that when he proposed and initiated the conversation about planning our wedding. I still can’t believe that I was lucky enough to meet a man as wonderful as him.

The wedding day is getting more exciting because we are now headed for our safari honeymoon. Even though we had a brief ceremony and celebration with everyone, Matt was eager for us to be alone together again, like when we first got started dating.

I couldn’t agree with him more. Those were some of my favorite days of our relationship. The weeks locked up with each other were how I got to know him and discover just how much I really loved him.

We are sitting next to each other on the plane in our first-class seats. The stewardess just brought us our drinks. I eagerly take a sip of mine. I have a book on my lap. I’m not in the mood to read, though.

I’m anxious about flying, which I always am, but I’m more excited about the honeymoon. Not only do I get to be alone with Matt, but I’ve always wanted to travel and see different parts of the world. A safari is also a great way to see animals. I can’t wait.

Matt interrupts my thoughts by leaning over and whispering in my ear.

“I can’t help getting hard any time I am in enclosed spaces with you.”

His words make me laugh because I remember that was how it all started between us.

“Behave. There are other people in the plane here with us,” I reprimand him playfully.

He pretends to pout as he says, “Just for the torture of wearing a short dress and teasing me, I am going to make you beg for it when we get there.” I smirk at him then reply, “Don’t forget I know how to make you beg for it too.” He goes back to sitting silently, but he’s smiling at me too. I love when we play like this with each other.

Finally we arrive in Africa. All playfulness is forgotten in the excitement. We grab our bags and step off the plane.

The views from the surrounding areas by the airport are gorgeous. We are both in awe. There is a shuttle that will take us to our hotel, and we hurry with our bags to catch it.
