“Aaaah!” She laughed, and then coughed, accidentally inhaling some saltwater. She had to let him hold her up as she sneezed the stuff out of her sinuses, and her eyes burned from the shock. “Why’re you always faster than me?” she muttered, wheezing.
“Might be the werewolf thing, just saying,” he teased her and playfully nipped at the curve of her neck, nuzzling the wet flesh there as he inhaled. “Are you okay?” he murmured and rubbed down her sides, twisting around to kiss her on the nose.
She coughed some more, feeling the burn of the salts all the way down her throat. Half-perching on his leg, she rubbed at her eyes and said, “Need to get to where I can stand.” She batted his hand away, not wanting to sneeze or spit on him as she tried to get the taste out of her mouth.
