Michel Prince: What is it about possessive men?

            What is it about possessive men?  I’m not talking about the guys who lock their women in closets or beat them into submission.  But possessive men that give guys the once over for eyeing their woman.  The ones that place their hand on the small of her back or a finger locked around a belt loop.  The type of man that lets a woman know that they are theirs and no one else’s.

           

            There is a security knowing a man will fight for you.  I’m not calling for all men to start a fist fight because some man said your woman looks good in a pair of jeans, but I want to know that I am yours and yours alone.

           

             J. R. Ward writes an amazing series called the Black Dagger Brotherhood.  Each man at some point says the word mine with a deep growl whether out loud or in their mind when they meet the woman they want to be with.  This doesn’t mean that the woman can’t hold a job or voice an opinion.  In fact they do and quiet often.  In some ways the woman are in complete control of the relationship, except when the woman is threatened or approached by someone that doesn’t have good intentions.  Then, watch out.  They will eviscerate the person. 

            

            In recent years men haven’t been allowed to be men.  A man fights or kills for his woman.  Hell a whole Trojan war was fought over Helen and who truly possessed her.  Although society now frowns on the man who steps up and protects his woman, even from herself, I find it intoxifying.

            

           In the dedication for Chrysalis the first line is, Dedicated to my soul mate, guardian angel and husband Reggie. Thank you for putting up with and supporting every crazy dream I’ve ever had.

               

           A possessive man doesn’t have to stop his woman from growing, in fact he should nurture it.  But if a mother-fer looks at her ass…

           

           Now ladies don’t think I left you out, I expect the same behavior from you.  We are civilized and docile unless challenged when a rage from deep inside turns us into a possessed demon like creature that’s known to pull out hair, smash faces or other wise find some way to crush a woman from the inside with just a few sweetly put phrases.

              

           So there we have it.  Mark your man or woman as yours.  Possess them as if they were the greatest treasure on earth and worship them as if they are what God sent to Earth to prove his love for you.  Because although we all make mistakes hearing the growl from you lover stating in no uncertain terms that you are not to be touched by another is the most wonderful possession of all.
