Here Is The Sexy Game That Brought My Boyfriend And I Closer Together While We Avoided The Freezing Weather Outside

It was the coldest winter we’d ever
been through. It was my first in New
York and I wasn’t used to the cold,
but my boyfriend had lived there
forever and even he had a special kind
of trepidation when checking the forecast that was usually reserved for
setting an appointment for a root canal.
The streets were empty, for once, no
one could bear to be on them. People
took taxis they couldn’t afford from
the subway stop to their apartments and abused seamless instead of
venturing out for groceries or a meal at
a restaurant. We made a game out of trying not to
be miserable: stuck in New York over
Christmas, missing family celebrations,
and bored of not being able to leave
the house. We took the money we
weren’t spending on traveling home, or on going out to eat during the Week
Of Extreme Cold and figured we’d
spend a little more on our heating bill
so that we could walk around
comfortably in various states of
undress. My boyfriend knew it drove me crazy to look at his back. Every
woman has a thing, and this was mine
— watching his broad shoulders
moving as he typed at his desk,
unaware that I was watching him
obviously stop, stretch, and scratch every quarter of an hour. For my part nothing felt more luxurious
than prancing around the apartment
and looking out the frosted windows in
a tiny cotton sleep dress.
