I'll use my SO mostly...

I adore how excited he gets when I sit down next to him on the couch and ask to join in the video game or who's fighting on TV.

I love how his bicept fits just right in the curve of my neck and his chest under my ear.

I love the sparkle in his eye when he comes home all sweaty and exhausted from BJJ class and tells me about how he rolled with purple belts who couldn't tap him out. And the grin when he realizes I know what he's talking about now.

I love the little wrinkle between his eyebrows when he's concentrating.

I love when most men try to bluff or bullshit and get that little twitch in the corner of their mouth that gives it away.

I love that he answers the front door with our Glock when the doorbells rings, just to keep me safe.

And I love that he taught me to shoot and that I can still surprise him by demonstrating the roll across the bed, onto the floor, open the drawer, grab the gun and cock it towards the imaginary man coming up the stairs that might get me when he's out of town.

I love that my guy friends will hug me when I'm cold. I'm always cold.

I love that smell when he's showered in the past 24 hours but no body products or massive sweat session. His natural smell is awesome.

I really enjoy watching the male brain work sometimes and listening to the differences in thought processes.

I love that when he has a scary dream, he'll still reach for me in his sleep and relax.
