Have I told you yet today how gorgeous you are?

you are that and a whole lot more.

you are brilliant. Truly. you should know I believe this, even when you don't. you are smarter than me, but you choose to act like you're not -- which also is probably a smart thing to do in many situations.

you are wise. you understand people. you understand "how things work" and how to get things done. This is not simply a function of being brilliant. Trust me. I have known a lot of brilliant people that lacked the wisdom to be able to use their brilliance to good effect.

you are warm. you brighten every room you enter. you make people feel good just being in your presence.

you are capable. you achieve most everything you set your mind to. you can do just about anything you really want.

you are professional. you know how to handle yourself. you always put your best foot forward. you give people the impression you know what you're doing and you're in charge.

you are everything any man could want in a partner, for business or pleasure. (I don't want to detract from the above by discussing the ways you are perfect with regard to pleasure, but I think I've made my feelings clear on that issue many times previously anyway. Although I don't say it often enough, you should keep in mind that my attraction to you is based on the whole package. A gorgeous body and sexy attitude don't get it done for me unless there's intelligence and the right personality to go with them.)

Don't you dare take anything I say when I'm clearly teasing you as having any truth or, worse, that I actually think those things. you damned well better know by now when I'm just yanking your chain. Remember, you, as My property, are a reflection of Me. I would not own anything (or anyone) that is substandard. you are the cream of the fucking crop, and a few teasing comments shouldn't make you question that.

I apologize (really, I'm not just saying that) if you took offense to anything I said. you should know by now that I would never intentionally hurt you in any way. I will try to restrain myself better the next time I feel wicked and want to push your buttons.

yours,
F.
