“Nothing to worry about, Mr.Sovrano.”The doctor gave him a professional smile.“All’s well with your wife.I'm going to have a few things sent over soon, though.”
Stefan's eyes landed on mine for a moment before he looked me up and down.
Good grief.
“Thank you for coming on such short notice.It was lovely meeting you,” I said to the doctor while trying to ignore Stefan.
She nodded, and I opened the door for her.Stefan finally unglued his gaze from me and said, “Yes, thank you, Dr.Vitale.”
I closed the door and leaned against it.
“What did she say?”he asked the question I knew he would.
I shook my head.“She said you broke my vagina.”
The look of shock—and horror—on his face tugged at my heart in a way I was completely unfamiliar with.I pushed away from the door and stepped up to him.“I'm joking, Stefan.”I set my hands on his chest, feeling his heart pounding underneath my palms.
His arms wrapped around me and pulled me in.“That's not funny,” he said as I started to laugh.
“You should have seen your face.”I giggled and let my head fall back.He sighed and kissed my neck.“I was worried.”
My hands slid up to his shoulders and behind his neck.“I know.Thank you for calling her.You were right.”
His lips halted on my neck for a long moment.“Excuse me?”he asked against my skin.
I laughed again and ran my hands through his hair.“I said thank you.”
He lifted his head and looked at me.“After that.”He was laser focused on my face.
“You were right.She said I should take pain relievers if I need to.”
Stefan's shoulders slumped slightly, and he leaned in to kiss my lips.“What else did she say to do?”
I shrugged.“Um, a hot bath.And to use some kind of cream she's sending over later.”
He hugged me tight to his body, holding my head to his chest.“That's all?”
I nodded and hugged him back.“That's all.It turns out that losing your virginity isn't terminal like you thought.”I laughed quietly to myself.“Have you freaked out like this every time you've taken a woman's virginity?”
He immediately let go of my head and let me look at him as he answered, “No.”
I raised my eyebrows.“Then why did you freak out on me and not those other women?”I tilted my head a little to the side as I waited for an answer.
“There were no other women, Francesca.”
I laughed loudly, shaking in his arms.“What?I know you've slept with other women before.Lots of them, I'm sure.”
His eyes scanned my face as I kept laughing.
“Yes, but I've never taken anyone's virginity before.You were my first virgin.”
My poor brain felt like it was spinning out of control.
What did he just say?
He did not just say that I was his first—virgin.
Oh.
