His lips greeted hers in a kiss that defined perfection in its simplicity. There was a knowing about the way his mouth moved over hers, an assuredness in how his head tilted and hers dropped to the side and back to accept his mouth and tongue that made her realize this wouldn’t be the last time. That thought brought reality screeching back.
She planted both her hands against his chest and moved herself away.
“Melanie?”
“Wait. I need a minute.” All of her senses began to work again and she heard birds caw. Squirrels hustled about their business, and a deer ran past heading east.
Rolland got closer and even though she didn’t want to, she had to stop him.
“Rolland, I could lose my job. You can’t do that again. I have to think about the ethical implications of kissing you. You’re a patient at this center and I could be held responsible for anything that happens to you.”
“I kissed you. I’m responsible for my actions.”
“But Rolland, I kissed you back. Therefore I’m responsible, too.”
