Dean glanced down at his ant Lexi’s hands as she held his hands.  He brushed his thumbs over her fingers and relaxed a bit, turning his eyes back up to hers.  He scanned her face carefully, and raised his eyebrows at ‘I’m not sorry’.  He hadn’t expected her to react positively at all, despite their obvious attraction to each other.  He stared into her eyes, not moving an inch as she leaned in and covered his lips with hers once again.

After a beat, Dean released one of her hands, and he brought his hand up to cradle her cheek, deepening the kiss instantly as he pulled her face tighter to his. It was odd.  It was foreign.  It was new, but the kiss almost caused his head to hurt with excitement as he broke down that boundary between them that had been aching to crumble since they were alone in the vault.

As the kiss became more heated, and he realized things could go in a direction neither of them might be ready for, Dean broke the kiss and pressed his forehead tightly against hers, nuzzling her nose with his.  He brushed his lips over hers, and finally opened his eyes to look into hers, “So…you can stay if you want.”

He let out a breathless laugh, through his panting, as his thumb stroked across her cheek.  He wanted to get to know her better, and spend more time with her.  He didn’t know where things could go.  Hell, he barely was able to shower alone, these days.  But if there was one thing he knew, it was that Mika would want him to be happy, however reluctant with the ‘how’ of his happiness.  She would be jealous as hell, but proud of him.
