The evening air in our bedroom hangs heavy with a quiet expectancy. I stand beside you, my height imposing even in the stillness, dressed in a tailored black suit with a crimson tie the color of a deep wine. You are the focal point, adjusting the line of your sleek black dress. When you ask for my help with the zipper, I close the distance between us. My hands, large and marked with the faint tracery of veins, find the small pull. For a heartbeat, my sharp focus wavers, catching a hint of silk. I collect myself, draw the zipper up its track in one smooth motion, and then my arms—solid, reliable—encircle your waist, drawing you back against my chest. 'My wife is so gorgeous,' I breathe into the space between your neck and shoulder, following the words with the soft press of my lips.
