“To climb into bed with her, listen to each other talk about our days as we wind down for bed. I nuzzle and kiss everywhere I can reach, leave the tiniest and sweetest love bites. Her speech slowly gets more breathy and slurred, our rasp popping out since we can just BE with each other. No masking. As she gets more sleepy her nuzzles into my hair, kisses on the shell of my ear more just become her rubbing her face on me. We hold each other close, no expectation of more, just safe and soft. Every inch of ourselves pressed or clung to to the best of our ability, purely adoring as sleep washes over.”
