you wrote this with a level of intensity that made me sit up straight. The way you shaped power here—soft, deliberate, chosen—feels so magnetic. It’s like you cracked open the quiet side of dominance and let us peek in. Beautifully fierce…

Wonderfully written, you just captured in words how the love of my life makes me feel when he's not asking me to put my face in the sun because he likes how I look sun kissed 🥲

Thank you for the compliment. I hope the love of your life makes sure you are properly slathered in sunscreen before he asks you to absorb more UVA and UVB rays simply for his own pleasure! 😅

Oh no no, it's just for pictures, then I am right back under cover.

Read and reread, seeing echos and reflections from my own quiet entry into presence.
