The Secret Between Us
Chapter 31

The concept of what might be the best day of your life is very different for each person. For some it may mean the day they were with someone for the first time, for others when they graduated from university, in other cases when their first child was born… or perhaps when they got to travel to that place they have been longing for so long. For me, the best day of my life is this one.

Witnessing their smiles, the way they laugh, becoming the shelter of their arms and the lips that k**s theirs is all that is right in this world, but this day goes a little beyond all that. Today is the day where what we always saw as impossible became possible. I wouldn’t change a single moment of today… I have enjoyed walking with her hand in hand through the streets of this town, having lunch laughing about everything and kissing like two teenagers who are just starting a relationship… with her everything will always be something new and I love it.

The sun is already falling and with that we are entering to this cosy hotel room that draws a beautiful and sincere smile on her face -I love it- She tells me when she is walking through every corner of the place and then she looks out the window -It has a beautiful view, I didn’t notice all this when we came to change, I was so hungry that the least I thought about was the room- She comments and I just take my mobile phone out of my pocket and take a picture surprising her -What are you doing! – she asks with a laugh.

-Taking a picture of the most beautiful sight my eyes can see,” I explain, stealing a smile.

-Do you think I’m the prettiest sight? – He turns to face me and looks at me.

-I answer very confidently and he smiles.

-What if I take off my dress? – She questions, taking her fingers to the straps of her garment and letting it fall to the floor, leaving me to see the spectacular white lingerie set she is wearing.

I observe every detail of her body and smile -Now you are not only the most beautiful sight, but also the most sensual… I love every detail of you my wife, and well… what to say about this little one that is slowly peeking out- I tell her getting closer to her and I take my hand over her already a little more noticeable belly.

-Izan…” She murmurs, making me look her in the eyes.

-Yes? – I ask her, lost in her grey gaze.

-Thank you for making me the happiest woman in the world, for never giving up on us… for being the father of my child, and for this immense love that I swear I can’t fit in my chest,” she says stealing my breath.

-I love you, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you and our son, I love you,” I repeat and bring my lips to hers to k**s her with all this immense love I feel for her.

Her lips respond to the urgency of mine and this is no longer simply desire, nor the desire to feel her skin or my body melting into hers… this is a conversation of feelings between her heart and mine, one where we tell each other without words everything we feel for each other as we undress, as we caress each other, as we fall on this bed that becomes an accomplice to the way we love each other. S*x has long since ceased to be simply s*x between the two of us. At first it was our way of quenching all the thirst that built up for each other when we couldn’t see each other as often, then it became our ritual to show each other that despite everything we would continue to persist in what is ours, but now it has become the purest way of saying “I love you”. Her body long ago ceased to be that place where she fulfilled my desires, it became my temple, one that I care for, revere, and k**s with respect at every moment….

If I were born again, I would want to meet her again, I would choose to fall in love with her always no matter what the obstacles are -I love you- I hear her tell me as my whole being is surrendering with hers in this abyss of passion that we know so well.

-I love you too… my wife,” I say in her ear and my m***s join hers as we break free. I k**s her and linger on her lips without moving from her, “We’ll be together always,” I tell her.

-Always.” She rebels and in her eyes is more love than I could have ever imagined I would find all my life.

When I met her, I never imagined that this was all we would live together, but destiny, life, or someone wanted it to be this way and I can only thank her for giving me the best of my life -Are you feeling ok? – I ask him when he suddenly brings his hands to my shoulders to make me move.

-No… wait…” she says as I move off her and she sits on the edge of the bed, “I feel nauseous…” she mutters and before I can say anything to her, she runs off to the bathroom and without a second thought I go after her and hold her hair while she turns her stomach.

-Are you going to tell me that s*x makes you nauseous now? – I ask amused and once she pulls herself together she looks at me seriously through the reflection of the mirror.

-It’s not the s*x… it was that fruit juice I drank… phew… just remembering it makes me sick,” she complains making me laugh.

-I murmur, hugging her from behind and she smiles.

-I’m sorry I ruined our moment.

-Don’t worry, we’ll get it back when you get it back, we have the whole night and the whole life just for us,” I tell her and in my words there are many promises I’m making to her.

-All our lives,” he repeats, and that sounds good.
