I loved these not only for their linguistic appeal, but also for the fact that they characterize Stumpy:
/I still wasn't sure if she treated all men like she did me, I hoped it was a unique transactional encounter we had, I hoped she didn't hold other men's head's close to her chest like she did mine, hoped she didn't repeatedly kiss worries and anxieties away, hoped her feet didn't entangled in other men's legs like they did for me and most of all, I hoped she didn't whisper to them like she would to me.
I firmly pushed her down on to the bed and clambered over with the grace of an ox, my bed etiquette still needed major work but I was no dancer./
Also, it was cute, you put "beautiful" in the chapter 5 times or something. And you're beautiful, too. :)
This is an amazing story.
