When he finally slid out of her and away she stretched her legs out so he could curl easily against her side. She enjoyed holding him like this, feeling that comfortable weight of his head on her chest, his breath playing over her skin. She shivered a little at his kisses, watching him with complete adoration until he settled down again, and as much as she was ready to do the same, to sleep just like this with him nestled in her arms, there was one last thing that needed taking care of. “I hate to disturb you,” she said, lifting one leg up in the air to remove the shoe and toss it to the floor. “But I have the feeling this is probably not the most comfortable thing to sleep in.”
