"Happy anniversary, my beautiful darling!" Jai leaned over in bed to kiss his wife. "I have something for you!" he said fishing out a small jewellery box from under his pillow.
Valini reached over to cuddle him, and Jai's efforts to give her the gift that he had picked out to celebrate their first year of marriage were lost to their usual morning romp. They were both morning people and so they usually started the day with some love-making or a morning cuddle. This morning they both seemed to be in the mood for a cuddle-fest, and so Jai nibbled Valini all over, tickling her sensitive spots and generally made himself a nuisance.
"You really didn't have to, you know," Valini murmured, when she finally caught her breath again. "The fact that we're staying home together today is all that I need."
"But that is soooooo much less than you deserve, my love!" he said, dancing the box before her face playfully. I'm so lucky to have a good woman like you with me. I don't take that for granted. I will never take that for granted. You've been great! I appreciate the way that you always help me with whatever comes up with my daily life. You are warm and cuddly; your tits, a nice pillow for my head at night! I love it that you serve me a drink naked from time-to-time and give me long massages and lots of kisses and all night hugs. I appreciate that you comfort me while giving me the privilege of comforting you in bed. And speaking about that! God, you were great last night! You're fucking sexy, that's what you are! You make me feel like all the right things in the world are happening as they should be. I absolutely adore you, Valini Mehta!" he said allowing her to capture the little box from his hand.
Valini didn't respond to this pretty little speech or open the box. She couldn't. She was engulfed in another deluge of kisses and nibbles that Jai rained down on her as he eased himself to sprawl between her spread legs so that he could worry her breasts at his leisure. He raised himself up like the cobra that she had seen in the basket in a rural village in India when, as a child, she was taken to visit her grandparents. Jai smiled at her. He stroked her skin gently, and sipped at her hard nipples, still warm from the lazy snooze from which he had awakened her.
"And here I was thinking that you loved me for my mind!" she quipped when Jai allowed her to come up for air.
Of all the things that he did for her, nibbling her body while massaging or fucking her and leaving little love bites on it were among her favourites. She rewarded Jai by planting her right leg firmly on the bed and then hoisting him over bodily so that she could lie on top of him and nibble him in return.
She captured his hands above his head and held them in one of hers. She wiggled playfully on him, a novice surfer steadying herself on her surfboard before riding a wave. Her swaying pelvis awakened the sleeping giant between his legs fully and she smiled knowingly at him. She attacked his mouth with hers, kissing and nibbling at his neck and jaw and lips before pushing her tongue in.
"I was getting to that!" Jai protested, weakly when he was able to draw breath again. "You do great work! May I say that I am so proud to be able to have my head between the firm thighs of such a great writer! Your slick pussy and your mind work so well together!"
"Try again!" Valini poked him in his side, one of his sensitive spots.
"You really are a great writer, and I am very proud of you, my love," Jai said seriously. "A gold Musgrave Medal last month! Who knows what's in store for you now? A Man Booker Prize? A Nobel Prize? I really am a fan! You've given Asian women living in the Caribbean a serious voice. That is very impressive, and I am here to support you in whatever way that I can with that mission. I see you conquering the world, and I want that for you. Can you see it now? You delivering your Nobel acceptance speech, and me and the children in the audience watching you?"
"The children?"
"Okay, I'll be in the audience, and they'll be watching you on tv at home in Jamaica."
They giggled. Jai ran his hand over her slight baby bump. She was just beginning to show.
"Do you remember our first date?"
"How could I forget it? It was hardly an auspicious start to our relationship. I remember that I had invited you to dinner, but I got to your house late because it was raining. I was soaked because the car had broken down. You were angry, but you softened up when you saw me looking like a nearly-drowned cat, and saw that I really would go through water to get to you. I thought it was quite romantic. I especially liked the way you brought me chicken soup when I caught that cold after."
"Behave yourself, Jai! That wasn't our first date and I will always look after you when you're ill, so don't try to change the subject. Our first date was the one in which you took me to that construction site after dinner."
"I didn't do that!"
"Yes you did! And it was what hooked me; well, it was one of the things that hooked me. I remember sitting in the car for over half an hour and thinking that you were so socially inept that I just had to give you a chance and get to know you better. I thought that you were a man who wasn't about pretence and trying to impress me. I realised that I liked you as a person," Valini said, laughing.
Jai grinned.
"Oh yes, we missed the movie and ended up by the pool at the Hilton. That was what hooked me! I already knew that you were smart and beautiful, but it was that night that I realised exactly how brilliant you are. We chatted for over six hours that night; didn't we?"
"Yes we did."
"I really couldn't remember when I'd enjoyed myself more."
