      Loving Lover

      Eric is the best man a wife could ever have. He dedicates all his love to me, even thought lots of women stare at him, seemingly all the time.

      Eric can’t help his good looks. He’s tall with a tan complexion and shoulder-length brown hair. It makes him virtually impossible to remain unseen.

      Me? I’m certainly no beauty queen. I don’t generate much attention from the opposite sex, I am certainly lucky to have Eric!

      What people may not be able to tell about him is his general laid-back nature. His mind goes back to the ‘60s sometimes, which is probably one of the things that makes him a good lover. That, and the fact that he wanted to be responsible for birth control. No kids. That’s what he told me on our first date.

      Since I didn’t really care either way, he got the old snipperooski, which most males wouldn’t even consider.

      Eric made the decision for both of us, and I got to keep him.

      What other husband could be so hot and understanding? I have to ask myself that question every day. Even when I’m most cranky and disagreeable, he never seems to want to fight.

      Eric is all about love, man, and it really shows when we are in bed together.

      Of course, sex is not the only thing I love about our marriage, but I certainly can’t deny how much we enjoy it! The fact that we fit so well together makes it easier each and every day to tell the entire world just how much I love him. Never mind the fact that we’re getting a little bit older each and every day.

      That’s why I appreciate the fact that I have someone to stay with me through the aging process—to make things a little bit easier. I know that I’m doing the same thing for Eric. It’s days like this when I can’t help but be thankful for such a smart, sexy, and loving husband!
