I let out an audible breath, and they both looked over to me.
“Sorry.” I held up my hand. “I guess I was a little anxious.”
He smiled and returned his attention to Nora, picking up her chart. “So, what are we, at seven weeks now?”
“Since release,” I corrected. “Eight-and-a-half post-op.”
Dr. Meachum smiled again. “Right. Okay, well, I looked at the reading from the heart monitor you wore last week. You did some walking and light exercise during that time, correct?”
Nora nodded. “I did.”
“Great. Everything looked perfect there, too.”
Nora liked to pretend I was the only one nervous at these visits, but I saw her shoulders relax. “So back to all normal activity?” she asked.
Dr. Meachum nodded. “I don’t see why not.”
They talked for a few more minutes, and then he asked if she had any questions. Nora shook her head no, but I raised my hand.
“Could I ask a few?”
“Of course.” Dr. Meachum closed his file and set it aside.
“So, normal activity, that includes sex, right?”
He smiled. “It does.”
“I don’t mean to be graphic or anything, but I want to make sure Nora is safe.”
“Oh Jesus,” Nora said.
“There’s no inappropriate question when it comes to a patient’s safety. What’s on your mind?”
“I was wondering if sex should be limited to the missionary position—you know, with Nora on the bottom and not exerting too much energy?”
“Nope. We’ve already tested out light activity, so it’s safe to do whatever you might fancy. A little workout during sex is absolutely fine.”
“What about boobs? Should I keep away from the chest area?”
Dr. Meachum smiled. “As long as Nora’s not feeling any discomfort on her ribs or from her scar, you can visit whatever areas you like.”
I smiled. “I really like them all.”
“Beck!”
The doctor laughed. “It’s fine. It’s been a long eight weeks. I get it.”
“Eight anda half,” I noted.
“You two enjoy yourselves. A heart transplant is a second chance at living. Take advantage of every moment.”
After the doctor walked out, I turned the lock on the door behind him. Nora looked up when she heard the clank.
“Oh no…” She held her hand out. “Don’t even think about it, Cross. We arenotdoing it here.”
I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck. “I just wanted a kiss, to celebrate the good news. But I like the way you’re thinking, dirty girl.” I crushed my lips to hers, forgetting where we were for a minute. It wasn’t easy to control myself. But I pulled away before she did. I wiped Nora’s bottom lip with my thumb and nodded toward the door. “Let’s get out of here, so I can kiss you other places.”
Nora’s eyes grew hooded. She bit her bottom lip. “Would it be weird to get a hotel room half an hour from my house? My dad will be home soon.”
