Once Bitten

Part Twenty-Nine

Two candles were lit and set onto the living room table. Riley walked in holding a plate and a glass of wine. He set it down in front of me as I sat on the couch then returned to the kitchen for his plate and glass. It wasn't anything extravagant, just a salad, but it was nice. He sat beside me and we ate our dinner then we picked up our glasses and toasted, "to all the days we have ahead of us, to all the troubles we have and will overcome, and most importantly.. to us." We drank our wine and he took the empty glass from my hand setting them both down on the table. Then looked back at me reaching towards me he started kissing me. I started to lay back on the couch, him on top of me as he continued to kiss me and making his way down my neck still kissing and softly biting. He lifted his head, "its hot in here." He said as he pulled his shirt off and threw it to the ground. He then ran his hands up my sides as he slipped off my shirt. He lifted me with ease placing me on his lap, faced towards him. He held one hand on my back the other on my waist kissing my neck and chest and stood up, my legs wrapped around him holding on. He walked towards the room and tossed me on the bed. He slowly got on top of me and finished undressing me and unbuttoned his pants. "You sure you want to do this? I understand if you don't." I sat up and kissed him passionately with my hand over his heart. "Does that answer your question?" We made love that lasted for hours. It became an unforgettable night. I fell asleep in his arms with our bodies pressed against eachothers. I didn't think it was possible to love again but I knew I had fallen in love with Riley.
