The Wife

The wife stood by her husband in the garden. Her husband's hand intertwined with hers. She looked up at the clear blue sky at a flock of exotic birds. A spring breeze danced around her and her husband's naked physiques. The sunlight painted their skin. The wind kissed their cheeks. "I love you," The wife said to her husband brushing his long raven black hair away from his face. "I love you too," The husband replied before leaning forward and giving his wife's lips a taste. The two held each other as they stood in front of a blooming tree. They kissed and kneaded on each other feeling spirited and carefree. Nothing could separate them now. Their love for each other was strong. The wife held her husband, thanking God for his creation and humming her favorite love song. She whispered into his ear holding his muscular body against her plump breast. She caressed her lips against his beard feeling his heart beating against her chest. The husband wanted to melt with his wife. He prepared to give her another passionate kiss. But his lips hesitated when he heard what sounded like a loud hiss. The wife immediately used her body to shield and protect her husband when she saw the snake approaching. The serpent's skin shimmered like diamonds. Its eyes shifting and searching. "I should have killed you earlier!" The wife said with a seething anger as she looked down at the sneaky slithering beast. The serpent hissed furiously as he showed his fangs opening his mouth to feast. "Go away!" The wife shouted down at the supernatural snake. Her anger burning within her. The serpent's neck she desired to break. The creature kept coming with his flesh glimmering in the sunlight. His fangs were positioning themselves as he raised up preparing to take a bite. But the serpent misjudged as he watched the wife put up a fight. Before he knew it she had already grabbed his head. She squeezed him as hard as she could, crushing his body until he was dead. The wife smiled when she saw what her and her husband were going to have for dinner tonight. She threw the snake's body over her shoulder knowing that instead of a piece of fruit. Snake meat would satisfy the appetite just right. The wife went back to hugging on her husband, relaxing her hands against his hips. "I love you." She said. "I love you too." The husband smiled while leaning forward to nestle his mouth against her lips.
