“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” ― Mary Oliver
We've been married for twelve years. I don’t think the man I was then ever anticipated how the love I felt for my wife would evolve. I love her more now than the day I married her, but I also burn for her. She consumes me. It’s a desire and need that grows over time.
There’s beauty in a knot. A simplicity that fascinates me, how they bind, restrict and tether you.
Lube. He attempted to bring a worm back to life with lube. And… vinegar.
Without Jessalyn Briggs, I’m nothing and no one.
mean, I closed up like a fuckin’ Spirit Halloween on November 1st, but it still made me feel good that she wanted to know more.
My lips peel apart and as soon as my jaw parts, he spits. Into my open mouth. Holy fuck, why is that so hot?
“I’m gonna use your cunt like the cum dumping ground it is. Do you hear that, Jessalyn? This pussy is nothing more than my wet fuck hole. I will take you hard, I don’t care how much it hurts.”
“I see yet another dimension of you that I love. I just need the tools to know how to fully nurture that side of you, that’s all. You are different to me, but you’re better than before. I know you more, and that’s all I ever wanted; to know you completely. Now I do. And I’ve never loved you more.”
This may have begun for Laws, but now I’m just as invested in this voyage of discovery.
Expectations, maybe. Fears, for sure. But in all of that, I never foresaw emotional fulfillment.
“You, my beautiful, perfect wife, have the most beautiful throat. You took me so well, and you held your breath so long. I was so amazed by you. And I wish you could have seen yourself, baby.” He rubs his palm down the length of my spine, the tips of his fingers teasing the top of my ass, sending sparks of arousal through my thighs. “You looked so beautiful in those ropes. Just seeing you in them made me wanna come. In fact, I’m going to jerk off to the memory later, I can assure you.”
We’re burning our entire world and roasting marshmallows as we do.
“When I say before everything else, I mean it. Above all, I’m Jes’s friend. When I see something funny, she’s the person I want to tell. If there’s a new book she’s reading, I’m the person she texts about it. And you know what? She doesn’t always wanna hear about the shit I think is funny, I’m sure. Same way I don’t particularly give a shit what book Reese Witherspoon recommends women read. But you know what she does? She cares. And I do the same. We give each other our focus and care, the same way we’re doing right now.”
I’d have judged that shit harder than Judy.
people that judge the sex you have in the privacy of your own home, speaks more to their own happiness and contentedness (or, ahem, lack thereof) than actual disapproval of your behavior.
Laws is a god in the sheets, and a shy hero in the streets. And I don’t hate
“Ruin me, baby. Make me everything you’ve ever wanted in your dreams.”
She’s my painting. I can’t look away from her.
Kink is customisable, and tastes evolve over time.
