The hug was warm, a much fuller one than others she had shared in the past. The hugs with her ex husband had never made her this whole. The arms around her got more of her, every ounce of her being was trapped in this all engulfing warmth.
His strong hands didn't let go at all, and any tension Nelly may have had melted away. She leaned in to it and put her arms around him. The firmness of his body, the strong chest brought a new sensation she didn't want to let go of.
Soon the sounds she heard was but her own beating heart and his breath. Nelly was stuck, stuck in between wishing this would never end and that something more would happen. His stubble felt rough on her shoulder, enough to get a shiver run down her spine. Feeling her shiver, he didn't let her go, but ran his strong fingers the length of her spine.
