My Heart
She eyed him with a small smile. "It hurt, but it's
done." She waited for his curiosity to overwhelm. His eyes dilated and she
could tell he wanted to ask. She slid the left side of her shirt over.
"Right here, over my heart. Come see." She waited
until he stepped close enough to feel his body heat. Her eyes studied the face
she loved without reservation. He sucked in a surprised breath.
"Yes...now my heart is yours forever." She dipped
her head to look down at the fresh ink.
A beautifully designed letter of his name created with
thorns and blossoms. Just above that in elegant script a single word.
Mine.
A blood red heart outlined it all. She smiled softly,
reminiscing the time it took to create the permanency of such beauty.
"How bad was it?" His words whispered into her
ear, slid through her body creating the heat that warmed her.
"For you, I could endure anything." His look of
pure adoration was her pain medication. His lips ghosted over her cheek tasting the
salty warmth trailing there. She had not realized tears were escaping. His
thumb rose and wiped away the remnants.
His arms snaked around her waist and he gathered her close
careful of the fresh art. She melted into the familiar embrace, happy to be
home.
The one place that felt exactly right. She tucked her face
into his neck, inhaling the scent of him. Something organic, comforting and
exciting at the same time.
"Thank you, no one has ever given me such a gift."
He spoke in a quiet solemn moment, admitting his own surprise. "I'll care
for it as my own."
She nodded and placed a soft kiss against his neck.
"I'm glad."
