I have a couple of thoughts on your situation. One is that spotting between periods is a very common issue and it could just be that. The other is that perhaps your boyfriend gave you a tiny cut with his nail or a little irritation and that is what caused the blood you are seeing. Just like any other tissue, the vaginal wall can be cut or scraped and bleed a bit.
I wouldn't worry too much about it if you have no other symptoms or problems. Just be aware and if you have a discharge or discomfort then you might want to have an exam to rule out infection.
