Long time Quote by Laurell K. Hamilton
““Nathaniel had rolled automatically onto his side, his back to me, waiting for me to close the distance between us. He’d already moved his hair to one side like a blanket that had to be moved out of the way, leaving his back and part of his neck smooth and bare. I lay there for a second or two, then thought, screw it. I moved in against him, pressing myself to the smooth warmth of his body, my arm sliding around his waist. He was just a few inches taller than me, enough that I cuddled down just a little, pressing my face into his back, in the hollow behind his shoulder blade. It was the way we’d gone to sleep for a long time.””
