"Just a hug, Kelly-baby?" He whispered the words, his lips quirking gently. "I dream of your hugs, darlin', just as much as I dream of your kiss."

"It's real easy, baby," he crooned, his dark velvet voice washing over her. "You just lift your arms and put them around my neck."

He let go of her hair, fingers curling around her wrists as he lifted her arms, urging them up until they curled around his neck.

"Then you come up real close to me, so I can hug you back."

His arms went around her, slowly, so slowly, pulling her against him until her head rested on his chest.

Yummy......i'd take one of those hugs for sure !!!
