He smiled at her announcement and her little scooting move. She was warm against his side but she had managed to bump the bandaged scratch across his ribs. He sucked in a breath as quietly as he could, wincing and hoping she hadn't noticed. The last thing he wanted was for her to be more worried about him leaving than she already was.
He recovered quickly by shifting himself slowly onto his side. He turned toward her so that his chin was resting on her shoulder and slid an arm around her waist. He liked the way it seemed to fit there naturally; she felt so good so close.
