"Hey babe? I'm home!"
I slipped off my heels and dropped my coat by the door. I walked into my kitchen to find Gavin, turned away and cooking dinner. I love this man more and more every day.
"Awe, oh my God! You cooked for me?"
"Of course I did, babygirl. You should expect nothing less."
He handed me a glass of wine, to which I smiled at him. He looked so damn good right there. Then again, I haven't seen him look bad yet. He kissed me sweetly, hugging me close to his body.
"Tough day at work?"
"Ugh, yes. My boss is a total bitch! Today she passed me while I was grabbing my lunch, and she scoffed! I said, 'Is something wrong?' And she just rolled her eyes and said, 'Oh, nothing, dear. I'm just glad you feel good enough to eat that burger. I could never be that confident if I were you.' And it made me feel so shitty. I wound up not even eating afterwards."
I went on a rant about my long and shitty day, while he refilled my drink and served me a delicious home-cooked meal.
"Ok, Gavin. Be honest. You seriously homemade everything you served me tonight?"
"You don't believe me?"
He cocked a brow at me. And since I was a bit more than buzzed, it lit me on fire.
"No, I just....I mean, scratch Mozzarella Alfredo? It's my favorite. And, it's not even our anniversary or anything... Why spoil me?"
I looked away from his intense, beautiful eyes blushing. Nobody has ever captivated me like this man does, let alone cook me amazing meals when I've had a hard day. But, he cleared his throat and I felt his eyes trailing my body.
"Elise, look at me. You deserve to be spoiled. Worshipped. Especially when you've had a hard day. And especially when stupid bosses try to make you feel bad about yourself. So, even on a good day, no matter what form it comes in, I will spoil my girl. I will shower you with affection, and I will make you feel as good as you make me feel."
"But, babe. I ju-"
"Got it, babygirl? Or do I need to repeat myself?"
His voice was low and primal. He dipped his chin and watched me swig the last gulp of wine.
"Thank you, baby. For all of this. You really are the best."
"I love you, my queen."
"I love you too."

As we were getting ready for bed, I stood in my bathroom, staring at myself in the mirror. Judging everything about myself, and wishing I were different. I didn’t want to admit it, but what my boss said to me really got to me. Gavin was already in bed, checking his phone while he waited for me to join him.
"Hey, you okay, baby?"
"Oh, uh...yeah! Just....just finishing up, hun!"
I heard the covers and assumed he'd just tucked himself in, thinking I'd be out any minute. Instead, Gavin appeared at the door behind me.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing...I'm fine. Just go back to bed, okay? I'm right behind you."
"Elise, the truth. Now."
"It's whatever, alright?"
"It's your boss, isn't it? You can tell me anything, you know."
I sighed and stared at him through the reflection. He looked so fucking hot standing there, but I felt disgusting.
"Why is it bothering you so much? I just want to understand."
"Oh, come on. Have you seen you, Gavin? Every girl wants you. I know you love me, and I trust you. But, my insecurities...what if..."
"What if doesn't exist. I don't know how you were going to finish that sentence, but I don't want to know. Because no matter what you say, my answer won't change."
"But there's so many other beautiful girls out there. More beautiful than me, for sure. And I know they throw themselves at you. I just get scared that, one day, you'll see the same me I see right now."
I turned away from him, embarrassed and self-conscious. I felt hurt, and I worried that he took what I said the wrong way. But, when I glanced back, he was right behind me. He kissed my neck softly and whispered in my ear.
"Elise, you're the only you. And I don't even see the other women. I only see you. It doesn't matter what they wear, or sound like, or look like. They will never be you."
"But, my stomach isn't perfectly flat. My arms aren't tiny and perfect. And I don't have a big thigh gap..."
Gavin held my hand. He pulled me close and said,
"Babygirl. You just need to see yourself through my eyes."
He led me towards the bed, and kept us standing for a moment.
"I love every single thing about you, Elise. From your defined, sexy arms..."
He ran his hands up from my wrists to my shoulders, sending goosebumps over my body.
"To your back..."
He trailed his hands down my back and around my sides from behind, pulling me closer as he did.
"To your perfect little tummy..."
As his fingers trailed my skin, he kissed and licked at my neck and earlobe. I let out an audible sigh, and felt my body relax.
"To these perfect fucking legs. These gorgeous and soft thighs of yours. Fuck, baby....your thighs alone, just drive me crazy. And this ass...god damn."
He was stroking my thigh with one hand, teasing me with light touches on my inner thigh here and there, while caressing my ass with the other. All while kissing my neck, and down my shoulders. He was sending my body into overdrive, and I was craving more.
"Oh, fuck. Gavin..."
I heard him chuckle. Bastard knows I can't resist him.
"Let me worship you. Let me show you how perfect you are."
His hand slipped between my legs, and he was rubbing me slowly over the thong I was wearing. I began to moan softly, and with a swift move, Gavin picked me up and laid me down on the bed, my leg over his shoulder. Since I was only wearing one of his t-shirts over my thong, I was mostly exposed to him. He already had a huge boner, but watching his cock twitch under his boxers only added to my arousal.
He climbed over me, my leg still hoisted up, and kissed me passionately, biting my lip as he groaned. My eyes closed when his finger circled my clit. Even through the thong, he drove me wild. He began kissing down my body as he rubbed my clit, sliding the underwear out of the way. I moaned sweetly in his ear as he licked me from my shoulder to my breast.
