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.

The word on the 26th of June 2007:
venerate VEN-uh-rayt, transitive verb:
To treat someone or something with deep respect, reverence or deference; to revere.
Venerate comes from Latin veneratus, past participle of venerari, "to revere, to respect, to worship," from venus, vener-, "charm, loveliness."
