The list goes on and on so I’ll end it at ten, but mostly, Roman tops the list

I’h this cuddle session is anything but sexual

Sigh

“Are you getting warmer?”

Of course! But there’s no way I’o back to his side of the bed, and then where would we be? Back to strictly platonic Sure, that’s e agreed on, but tell that to reement

“It helps having your arms around me, for sure”

We lie like this for a little while andabout while we are here snuggling like two people in a relationship I’ve certainly never cuddled with a ? Because it feels so absolutely right

Roman, for his part, doesn’t move a muscle—he lies absolutely still, like a corpse in a haunted house

The perfect gentleman

I wonder what it would take to break that polite demeanor

I’ve met his fa was one with rules and etiquette and ht to Kyle and the other guys I causally went out ho didn’t know common courtesy from a hole in their ass

I make no moves to pull it back into place

Roman clears his throat
