"Am I your captive? Are you going to have your way with me?" I asked tugging against the handcuffs "I thought we had a date for ice cream?"
Richard's hands were around my waist as he gently pulled me to him to nuzzle his face against mine.
I felt his warm breath tickle my face and listened to his heart beating in his chest as he hugged me. This always makes me tingle all over because Richard loves me and I love him with a passion deeper than the seven seas.
I felt my man's hard cock pressed up against my ass and the ensuing moistness of arousal between my legs.
"I'm in the mood for both, Beth" he replied, kissing my cheek and blowing on my neck behind my ears "Ice cream is the perfect opportunity to taste your strawberry and chocolate enhanced kisses."
"Are you open for further negotiations, sweetheart?" I asked, adoring the playful back and forth.
Our private, sometimes silly banter comes so naturally to us; naturally as when we dance about the kitchen while doing dishes to soft music on the radio. I can't remember the last time we ran the dishwasher. Richard's friends and colleagues see him as responsible and reliable; a force to reckon with; never silly; he's only silly with me.
"I am baby. What do you wish to negotiate?" he asked.
"I propose we go for ice cream first. I'll change into an old dress that I don't care about...if you know what I mean.
"Hot stuff" Richard replied kissing my cheek and whispering "rip, tear, ravish; don't forget mad passionate love making.
We will finish our evening by cuddling until we fall asleep. We will sleep in late the next morning if you wish. I love you Beth, more than our fields of yellow daffodils."
"I love you too. I love you more than roasted walnuts and apple cider" being assured in my heart of hearts he is mine forever.
"What about ice cream, Beth" he asked rubbing my taut tummy "do you love me more than ice cream?"
"Well, chocolate or strawberry ice cream is a hard act to follow sweetheart" I replied teasingly.
"That's not an answer, Elizabeth Susan; yes or no; do you love me more than ice cream?"
"Kiss me, sweetheart. I need to taste you. We haven't kissed in almost an hour" I continued teasingly.
I turned to face him and Richard took my face in his hands to kiss me long and deep, our lips lingering before I put my head against his chest.
"Well?" He asked.
"What were we talking about, sweetheart?" I asked innocently.
"Ice cream, so please answer the question."
"Do you want my answer now? Can't it wait until we have ice cream so that I have something to compare you with?"
"No it can't wait. I'll not play second fiddle to a frozen dairy confection."
"I love you more than chocolate ice cream!"
"Good answer...what about strawberry ice cream?"
"I'm thinking..."
"Beth, you do realize I might forget where I put the handcuff keys. Coincidently I might not remember where I misplaced them until tomorrow morning."
"They're in your pocket."
"My pocket might suddenly develop a small black hole vortex and the keys will be sucked into another dimension never to be found again."
"Oh... Well then, if that's the case, I definitely love you more than strawberry ice cream."
"Thank goodness, I was starting to develop a complex. The black hole just collapsed upon itself."
"Let me surprise you sweetheart; I promise you'll like what I'm thinking because I know what you're thinking; you can't hide those erotic thoughts from me."
I absolutely know what my sweetheart Richard is thinking; he loves me and will forsake all others and everything he owns to make me happy. He says it with his eyes, always. He is so incredibly gentle with me.
My surrogate husband doesn't hesitate to tell me out loud that he loves me and I him. We may as well be married.
We will be married in September with our reception held under our black walnut trees.
My big sweetheart shows me his love in all the little things such as a gentle touch as he passes; a hug or merely a glance and a smile.
One thing of many I find most endearing about my love is when Richard takes my small hands in his large callused ones and kisses them...he smiles and waits for me to kiss his lips.
"What a marvelous negotiator you are, baby" said Richard removing the handcuffs "I'll be waiting for you in the truck..."
Richard was listening to a Rock & Roll radio station with the inside cab nice and warm for me that chilly evening.
He jumped out of the truck to greet me by the passenger door to kiss my hands. He then picked me up and spun me around laughing "I love you Elizabeth Susan!"
When Richard gently put me down I put my arms around his neck to kiss his lips before he opened the door to help me in.
I messed up his thick blonde hair and said, "I love you more than strawberry or chocolate ice cream" and I kissed him again before he closed my door.
As he got in the truck next to me, "Do you like?" I asked shaking my head from side to side for my long brown ponytail to flounce about my shoulders and back.
