He loved the feeling of her head against his chest. He gave her a little snuggle, warming up quickly and only partly because of the covers. He was a little flushed, shy and a little nervous but happy and content. He ran his hand through her hair, stroking her scalp. “You starting to feel any better?†He asked, peeking at her.
He felt some tension between them. This wasn’t necessarily a platonic kind of thing. They had shared a bed, they were snuggling and he was shirtless.
