I can feel his lips linger on my neck for a moment before he pulls back and gazes at me. I seize a moment to admire my attractive husband and I can't help the smile as he holds my face in his hands.

"Fuck!" He shakes his head. "You look a lot sexier than I visualized you would."

I shrug not comprehending how to answer it. "This is for you."

"I know." He grins. "I love that only I get to see you looking this sexy."

I laugh slowly as I shift my eyes behind him. His hands drop as I take a step forward to look at the surroundings.

Love me like you do is playing on loop. The song excites me as I think about his messages.

The white couches we have on the right side are neatly arranged which Navya usually drags away from the place to show her power. The plants we had planted look fresh and I smile remembering that I did that with my kids.

The place is lit up with candles and fairy lights. It's starting to get dark and it gives a good view. As I take a deep breath I acknowledge the smell around is of lavender.

The hanging swing chairs on the left side look very warm and inviting. I raise my eyebrows when I see the pool we have filled with roses. I bent down to set the energy drinks on the edge of the pool.

All of it looks romantic, it warms my heart that he did all of it for me... for us.

"Uh, wasn't the right place to lit candles," Neil says slowly and I turn to look at him. He looks a little embarrassed as he scratches the back of his neck.

I look around as the wind blows extinguishing some candles. Then I look up at him as I smile slowly.

"I am sure nothing would matter in a few minutes."

He grins as he takes a step forward and his eyes move down my body. His gaze alone sends goosebumps all over my body. How many times have we had consummation? How does he still manage to have this effect on me?

"Did you really plan all of this just for making love to me?" I ask as he stands in front of me.

"We need this." He says as he meets my gaze. "Some alone happy time, you know?"

"And what type of a husband am I if I just want you in the bed?" He frowns. "I need to make you happy... in every way possible."

"That's what I desire." He says softly.

"You do?" I ask not having an idea how to answer him. He's going to leave me speechless for the entire night, I know that.

"I do." He grins looking all handsome.

I smile as I step closer to him and I let my eyes move down to his lips before I grasp his arm and look up at him. "What are you waiting for?"

I see his adam's apple bobbing as I move my hand behind his neck. I smile seeing the effect of my touch on him. I maintain eye contact with him and I am very careful about matching my words with the song playing.

"Love me like you do," I whisper slowly. "Touch me like you do."

His eyes drop down to my lips and before I know what is arising he is gripping my waist and pushing me against the wall. I gasp as his lips come down crashing against mine.

I close my eyes forgetting everything and dwelling on the moment with him. His lips are hard against mine and I totally love that he is turned on just like me.

I kiss him back matching his rhythm and I am on fire when I feel his hand moving down my back. I feel my insides getting warm and I grip hard on his arm as we kiss.

He pulls away when we run out of breath. I open my eyes slowly feeling the warmth behind my eyes. I try to catch my breath as I look at him.

He presses his body against mine as he gazes into my eyes and I can clearly figure out the desire and passion in them.

I feel his hand move up my back and he pulls down the zipper halfway before he places his hand there. I curl my toes feeling goosebumps all over my body as I look at him in disbelief.

"I love that you are my wife." He whispers. "Everything I endured makes sense."

He doesn't even let me reply to him as he turns me around in a swift. I bite my lip as I rest my palms against the wall and feel his lips on my back. My eyes close in eagerness as he moves his way up to the crook of my neck.

"Neil." I moan, he wraps his arm around my waist and holds me when he feels my knees go weak. I would slip and fall right here if he wasn't holding me.

I move my hand to the back of his neck as I moan and his hand moves down my thigh. I press my legs together as he touches me there.

I turn around when my breathing gets heavy and I shake my head at him not able to hold on anymore. I reach up to kiss him barely able to understand anything. I feel like everything is spinning.

"I need you," I mumble against his lips.

My eyes feel heavy as I look into his, he holds my hand and pulls me with him. He stops near the pool and I watch as he reaches down to take my heels off and sets them aside.

"You give up already?" He arches an eyebrow at me as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"I- I didn't- I mean- okay- what?" I shake my head as I ask him in disbelief.

"Come on." He laughs before he jumps into the pool.

I look at him in disbelief as he holds his hand out for me. I am all hot and bothered here and he wants to get in the pool. Great!

I put my hand in his not wanting to show that he has more control than me. How can he control himself when I can't?

I keep my hands on his shoulders as he pulls me in with him. It amazes me that the pool water is warm but then I know he wouldn't take me in the cool pool at night because I might catch a fever.

Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to get in the pool, I think to myself as I catch my breath and lower my head to wet myself completely.

I like the feel of warm water against my body and then I feel his arms go around my waist. I smile as he presses his lips against my back and removes the rose petal from my shoulder, he traces it down my arm then he keeps his lips by my ear.

"Let me take the lead tonight." He whispers and I feel turned on by his hushed tone. "Will you?"

I gulp slowly as I nod and turn around to kiss him. He pins me against the pool and we kiss fervently. His hands roam around my body and I let my hands run through his hair messing them all over again.

When he pulls away and looks at me I reach up to kiss his cheek. He grabs the drinks and hands me one.

"I figured we would need this since none of us will have dinner tonight." He says as we twist the caps.

"You figure a lot of things on your own recently." I laugh as I take a sip.

"Like?"

"Like you planned all of this knowing this is exactly what I need... what we need." I shrug.

"You mean I am a good husband?" He asks teasingly.

I look at him and I realize I have never said him how good he is as a husband. He does make me realize I am good as a wife and mother.

I take a few sips of the drink before I set it aside and move closer to him. All the candles are extinguished by now and it's a little dark now. The fairy lights are near the entrance so the light seems distant.

Everything abruptly seems to be a lot more inviting than it already was. The dark night does wonders, I glance at the entrance and see the darkness inside the home.

It's just us tonight... just us.

I look back at Neil, I love that he looks happy and I admire the handsome and happy face of my husband before I inch closer to him. I splash the water on his chest and face compelling him to close his eyes and chuckle softly.

I keep my hand on his chest as I look up at him. I reach out to remove the rose petal that sticks on his neck and press my lips against his neck.

I pull back to look at him, a few petals are sticking on his bare chest and arms. He looks down at me before we both lean in for a kiss.

"Neil," I say after we pull away. "You are an incredibly amazing husband. I am sorry that I don't appreciate your support and love more often but it means a lot to me. More than anything else."

His eyes soften as he looks at me and he sets the drink aside before encircling his arm around my waist.

"I love you." He murmurs as he leans down to kiss me again. I feel something stir in my chest as he kisses me softly and I keep my hand on his cheek.

I reach down to unbuckle his belt feeling hot all over again, I can feel him smile against my lips as he pulls my hand away and pulls my leg over his waist before he pushes me against the pool.

I pull my head back as he reaches down to kiss my neck. I can feel the water getting cold and the water trickles down our bodies.

I try to catch my breath as I grip his arms, he hikes my dress up before he traces his way inside my dress turning on something in me each time he strokes my skin with his thumb.

"Ah, Neil." I moan as he purses his lips against my skin. I know I am going to have a few hickeys.

"Yes?" He asks against my skin. His hot breath feels ticklish and enticing.

"Let us-" I try to say but I end up moaning in the end.

"Go to the room," I complete breathlessly.

At this level I'm not even able to keep my eyes open, I can feel the throbbing between my legs and I sure am not able to control myself anymore.

I keep my arms around his neck and find his lips with my eyes still closed and I kiss him hard so he knows I can't take it anymore.

I feel him unbuckle his belt and I am on fire when I feel him. I can literally feel the heat all over my body and I feel my toes curl under the water.

"Ah!" I let out as I open my eyes to look at him. He leans down to kiss me but I can barely keep up with him because I'm high on pleasure.

He presses a kiss on my cheek as he wraps his arms around me and keeps moving. I look over his shoulder to the darkness inside the home feeling high on my husband, his warmth, his touch, his body pressed against mine... everything of him.

I moan impatiently in his ear and loud knowing we are alone tonight, unlike any other day when we have to worry about our kids listening to us by any chance.

For a change, it's good to do it in the pool rather than in a bed. And it's definitely amazing to have him take control. It's crazy and hot at the same time.

My eyes feel heavy and they close automatically as he drives us to climax. I can hear him moaning against my shoulder and he tugs on my sleeve before he pulls the zipper down and moves his hand up there.

I feel my body lock with him when we finally get to the release we are looking for, I feel him tighten his arms around me as we orgasm together. I can feel the thrill run down my body and we moan out together as the tingles run down our bodies.

I try to catch my breath as I hold on to him. He pulls back to look at me after a moment. Despite the water being cold and the wind blowing we are both sweating with the hot tour.

"That was..." I trail off as I look at him and I shake my head in disbelief.

"I love you." He whispers softly as he presses his lips on my temple warming my heart.

"And I love you." I look at him feeling loved by him in every sense. A handsome grin decorates his face, I reach out to take some water in my hand and splash it on his face wanting to wipe out the sweat on his face.

He pulls me into the water and we are completely drenched again when we rise. I watch as he steps closer to me and puts his arms around me to pull up the zip.

"Are you cold?"

"I don't mind." I shrug.

He chuckles as he reaches down to put his hand behind my knees and picks me up in his arms. I instantly know we are going for another round as he walks us out of the pool and sets me down gently on the couch.

I look up at him as his body stays on mine, he holds my gaze as he places his palm against the couch holding his weight.

"You are beautiful." He says as he trails his fingers on my jaw and presses his thumb against my lips.

I smile feeling my cheeks heat up, I try to hide my blush even though it's ridiculous but I stop trying knowing that he loves my blush as well.

"And you are handsome."

"You don't need to reply to my words." He chuckles as he rubs his nose against mine.

"I mean it." I smile as I keep my hand on his cheek. "I am totally in love with you, your soul, your body... all of you."

He chuckles softly making my smile widen. "You can expect a 'same to you' from me."

"I do." I chuckle. "And it makes me happy," I add slowly.

As we look at each other I feel the love between us swelling. I love his stare, I love that it's only me he stares in that way. In a sweet loving way.

He is my Sweetness.
