Author Introduction: This was drabbled for the Word of the Day-drabble project where we attempt at writing a drabble or other short fiction every day, based on the Dictionary.com Word of the Day.
The way she moves under my hands, her voice wavers merely seconds once I caress her lightly with my hands; the soft timbre in her keening urges me to deliver her the deepest pleasure. My wife, my mate: there is nothing I do not share with her, but these moments make my knees weak as I drink in her beauty with my mouth. The longer I know her, the past years as my wife, the more I admire and venerate her. Her being the vessel of my love, this child she now bears will be our precious gift to Arda.
