Famous words

"Baby, I will never leave you. But if you want to end this relationship, I will totally respect your wishes and never bother you again. Even though my heart will ache for you every minute I breathe."

When she heard him utter those words, her heart wrenched with physical pain. Because she loved him so much. And knew that she would never be able to end the relationship. Not truly anyway. She couldn't really fathom living without him.

She looked at him, his azure blue eyes, and felt a feeling of warm comfort and tingling excitement wash over her. Over time, he had grown to become her mentor, her guide, her friend, her lover and her whole reason of being.

The night they had was like every other night they had spent together. She went to sleep nestled in the hollow of his shoulder, his sweat mixed with hers, after 2 hours of passionate, uninhibited love-making. She cried out countless times in the throes of passion while he made her orgasm over and over again.

She smiled and even blushed slightly to herself as she thought about the naughty things he had whispered in her ear while having his way with her.

He knew exactly how to arouse her and sexually delight her using a mix of both unselfish loving and macho-type-you-will-submit-to-my-wishes sex.

"He is my life," she thought to herself. All around the house were pieces of furniture they had bought together, souvenirs from holidays spent in the sun and snow, favourite foods they shared. So many things that spoke of their life together.

He reached out to touch her face and she covered his hand with hers. Something hard got in the way of the caress.

His wedding ring.

Only she didn't have one to match.
