The truth is, I never realized how much I needed a hug until this moment—until this very moment. Things have been chaotic for a while; I've been submerged in so many problems that I didn't realize how much I needed this.
Burying my head on his chest, I sank deeper into him. The warmth of his skin filled me up and erased every trace of the problems I'd experienced in the last few days.
His hand, resting on my back, began to move gently, gliding up and down as if trying to reassure me that all would be well. My nostrils filled with his sweet scent, and I closed my eyes tight to savor the feelings it gave me.
Warmth. Bliss. Heaven.
I never knew one could experience so much from just a hug. Bryce didn't disengage quickly; he stayed with me until he couldn't anymore.
