Relief washes over his face so quickly it almost hurts to watch.
He lets out a shaky breath I don't think he realized he'd been holding before leaning down to press the gentlest kiss to my lips.
“I should've waited until I got you home,” he murmurs against my forehead. “In a bed.”
He pulls back just enough for me to see the frustration written all over his face.
He's angry.
Not at me.
At himself.
His jaw tightens.
“I’m sorry, Honey. I got carried away.”
The guilt in his voice makes my chest ache.
I reach up and brush my fingers along his cheek.
“Hey.”
He finally looks at me.
“It's okay. I wanted it too.”
“I should've taken better care of you.”
“You took excellent care of me. And in case you don’t remember, I asked you to.”
“I—”
“Graham.”
I smile, hoping he can see how sincere I am.
“Relax.”
I lace my fingers with his.
“I'm fine. Better than.”
His shoulders loosen just a fraction.
“Really, I am.”
I give his hand a gentle squeeze.
“But if you want to take me to bed…”
A teasing smile tugs at my lips.
“There's always next time.”
His eyebrows lift.
“Next time?”
