Rush smiled at him softly. Then he bent his head again to kiss Lake again. This time, it wasn't just a light kiss. It was deeper and passionate.

Lake doesn't know how to respond. He just closed his eyes and mimicked the movement of Rush's lips. He felt light-headed. He fisted Rush's shirt under his palms. Rush's hands traveled down Lake's sides causing the boy to shiver at the warmth seeping through his shirt from Rush's hands.

Rush's hands gripped Lake's waist and pulled him closer until they were chest to chest. He banded his arm around Lake's waist while his other hand traveled up, cupping the back of Lake's head and tilting it to accommodate their kiss even more.
