“I amfine,” I whispered.
“You sure?”
“Yes.”
“You’d tell meif?—”
“Dean,” I gasped, laughing. “Please stop conducting a safety inspection while you’re still inside me.”
He made a strangled noise against my throat that might have been embarrassment. Then somehow we were both laughing again, kissing, holding onto each other as though this mattered far beyond the physical.
And somewhere between the awkwardness and the tenderness and Dean whispering my name as if it was sacred, I stopped being afraid.
