His sigh...

We stand there embracing.  He holds me to his chest and I'm facing him with my mouth cuddled near his neck ~ breathing his scent in.  I could stay like this for a while... soaking up the attention, his affection.  I've got one arm around his waist keeping him close.  My other hand is slowly running through his hair.  I am content and contented.

She finds herself awake, and for a moment she can't remember where she is or how she got there.  She realizes there's a soft weight wrapped around her waist and a whisp of breath against the nape of her neck.  For a moment she's startled, but then she remembers last night.

They were sitting on the couch watching a show and had completely fallen asleep in each other's arms.  It was too late for her to drive to her apartment so they'd stumbled to his bed and fallen in each other's arms.  A lazy kiss ensued, fogging their brains, and with that sleep engulfed them.  She remembered snippets of snoring and a whispered thought.  But try as she might, she just couldn't remember what that thought had been.

Now, she was waking up beside him for what she realized was the first time.  It had been nice to sleep with him.  No pressure, no uncomfort, just security in each other's arms.  It was cozy and she longed for more.
