As he's massaging my abs I feel him slow down, really taking his time, tracing every single muscle. He then tells me how much he loves how I'm toning my abs. I blush a little as my looks have always been an embarrassing subject for me.

I then see him lean in and feel him begin kissing my belly button leaving a soft trail of kisses all the way up, between my breasts, neck, cheek stopping just under my eye.

"You know how to make me completely forget I ever had any insecurities." I whisper softly.

He continues downward sliding his hands to the sides of my abs and down to my thighs before stopping briefly to tell me I shouldn't have any insecurities. That he finds every part of me me beyond beautiful. I am both physically and emotionally more than he's ever dreamed of.

"That's why I'm still so in love with you. Although my ex loved me physically I realize it was the emotional piece that was missing most of the time. You love and appreciate me both physically as well as emotionally; and the emotional piece is the biggest (most intimate) for me." I reply finally feeling the familiar warm sensation of tears about to fill my eyes.

He continues massaging my thighs, outer, inner and front making them jiggle as I let them unrestrained.  I see him, through my now blurry vision, looking into my eyes. He finally confesses that one of the things he loves the most about me are my tears. He surprises me adding that they not only have a physical effect on him, but more so an emotional effect.

As I'm letting my tears finally free flow down my cheeks I let out a tiny gasp as I feel him kissing my wet cheek (I didn't see him lean in).

"That's also what I love most about you. How close I feel to you. Not just physically but more so emotionally. And emotional intimacy is just as important to me if not more so than physical intimacy." I reply as I can't tell anymore what is water and what are tears.

I smile as I feel his hands on my cheeks wiping my tears and kissing them away as he quietly asks if I'd like to have him continue my massage in the shower or go to bed.

"I wouldn't mind if you finish my massage. But going to bed after (to cuddle) would be wonderful too." I say smiling.

He continues my massage as asked. Finishing my thighs, moving down to my calves and finishing with my feet. After a quick rinse he shuts off the water, takes my hand and helps me out of the shower before getting out himself. He then dries me off delicately before drying himself.

With that he takes my hand and leads me to bed. We both get in (on top of the covers).  I'm really looking forward to cuddling as its rare (at least for me) to cuddle without any extra added expectations.
