It was a gray and chilly autumn morning. Splendidly cold. The perfect weather for cuddling. And thanks to Dean’s irregularly high body temperature, he was radiating a cozy warmth I couldn’t get enough of. I snuggled into him, treasuring the smooth skin of his bare chest, tracing the gentle slopes under my fingers. So this was what having a boyfriend was like. This was what feeling safe and protected and loved was like.He pulled me close, scooping me in by the waist with one strong arm. I couldn’t stop the small giggle that escaped me as he pressed a kiss to my lips.
