“You need to stop using me like a piece of meat. It’s dehumanizing. I’m serious.” I cracked up and he crashed into me and walked me backward to the bed, laughing. He slid over me on the mattress and kissed me, his smile so big I could feel it against my mouth. I loved this. Everything about it. I loved that he always made me laugh. I loved that no matter what we were doing, it was fun. I loved that I slept so well when he was next to me, and I felt safe and cared for and wanted. And I really, really loved the sex.
