Satisfaction

We had three days left till we would fly back to the base.
We just came home from a really sweet date.
We went ice skating.
Well I did.
And he watched me.
He said if he would fall he would crush someone.
This made me laugh so hard that I fell.

It was amazing.
But I was frozen as we came back.
I was always so suprised that the cold really doesn't bothered him at all.

„Go take a bath love.
You're ice cold.
I don't want you to get sick"

He said placing a kiss on my forehead.
I gladly did.
I spend almost two hours in the tub till he knocked on the door.

„Love you alright? Not dead?"

„Yeah I'm fine"

I chucked.
I heard the door open and his head popped up.

„Just making sure"

I grinned.
I had no problem with that.
He had seen me naked a lot of times.
He actually liked sitting with me in the bathroom while I showered or took a bath and just talk sometimes.
It was so casual.
Never awkward.

I had my hair up in a big bun and looked at him sweet.

„Miss me?"

he nodded slightly.
He came in and smiled.

„You will vanish if you stay longer in there"

„Maybe I'll turn into a mermaid"

I giggled.
He laughed slightly.

„Yeah yeah I'm coming"

I said laughing and getting up.
He held out a big towel ready to wrap me in.
As I got up I noticed him staring at me.

But with a sad look.
Then I noticed where he was looking.
I looked down at the big scar on my lover stomach.
I had a lot of scars.
Just like him.
I had old ones and not so old ones.
Stretch marks and burn marks.

But nothing of this ever bothered me.
Except this one.
I hated it.
Deeply.
I stepped out of the tub and he wrapped me in the towel and held me in his arms.

„You know I love every inch of you right?"

He whispered softly as if he had read my mind.

„Mhm"

„Don't mhm me.
Look at me.
You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
And all of those just show how incredibly strong you are"

he gently stroked over a scar on my shoulder.

„I know. Just this one..."

„Even this one.
In my eyes you are perfect.
And this one makes you the strongest of them all"

He turned me around so I stood in front of the mirror, him behind me.
He slightly pushed the towel aside and stroked over the scar.

„You're my brave girl."

he whispered.
I smiled up to him.
I turned back around, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling me up to him.
I kissed him deeply.
His hands wrapped around my waist and held me up.
This was it.
This was my forever.

I deepened the kiss.
His hands slightly squeezed my waist, wandering down to my hips.

I pulled me even closer.
The heat between us getting palpable.
He picked me up and carried me over the hallway into the bedroom.
He gently layed me down on the bed straddling over me.
His lips left mine and trailed down my neck.
My hands were burried keep on his hair.
His hands roaming my body.
