Once Bitten

Part Twenty-Seven

I helped Riley off of the table and he held onto my shoulder. We made our way to the truck and he got in on the passenger side. I pulled the keys out for the feed room and dangled them, "we came here for the feed didn't we?" Riley scooted over into the drivers seat and started the truck, backing it towards the feed room. I went and unlocked the doors. Riley backed all the way in as I flung in feed bags till the truck bed couldn't fit anymore then climbed down and went to the drivers seat to take over so Riley could sit back and relax. We finally made it back home and I helped Riley up again and led him to his bed. He sat down and I put my hand behind his back helping him lean back to lay down. As soon as his head hit the pillow I found myself face to face with him. Caught in the moment I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against his, kissing him. I pulled away and I saw him open his eyes. We stood there in silence for a few seconds then he reached his arm out to me and put his hand on the back of my head bringing me back down to him. Then we had a real kiss that seemed to last forever. I never imagined this happening, I could never imagine kissing or doing anything with anyone other than Chris, but maybe it was time.. time to move on.
