I stifled a groan even as I attempted to keep up with the dance. Soft laughter peeled out of her.
I shook my head as I came to grips with the reality that I was married to a temptress. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
"You're beautiful. I mean truly beautiful. There's nothing about you that does not torment me with desire or enrapture me with emotional intimacy. I'm so glad that after all these years of waiting and yearning that you're the one that I'm going to experience the passion and creation of life with."
Her smile this evening had always been radiant, but now her eyes were moist and for a panicked moment I thought I'd make her ruin her makeup. I searched for something to divert her emotions before a tear fell leaving a trail through her makeup.
She swung into me and looking down I saw my opportunity of diversion presented by the soft warm rise of her chest above the lacy edge of her dress.
"You have an amazing pair of breasts."
A spurt of laughter escaped her and spinning her away I saw her roll her eyes at me. She knew what I was up to, but my plan had worked. The emotional wetness of her eyes was gone replaced now with tempting reproof of my ribald comment.
I shrugged. I wasn't going to take back what I'd said, because it was the truth.
"I'm so glad that you think I'm…… how to put it….a handful." She said with a smirk.
I grinned big as I said, "In more ways than just the two I've made mention of." Her eyes narrowed and I laughed at how easily she'd walked into that one.
Her eyes turned calculating and I stopped laughing. She'd be out for revenge now.
I saw the exact moment that a plan emerged by which to enact revenge and I braced myself.
She pressed into me and I almost didn't hear her whisper, "I have a birthmark."
I stumbled slightly and her eyes laughed at me even as she drove home her dagger, "It's very hard to find."
It was going to be a long three and a half hours.
