They stepped into her trailer. Junior slowly walked toward her and and silently asked with his eyes if she really wanted this, if she was sure. She responded by bringing her head up to his and kissing him with force. He kissed back, ignoring the fact that she had hurt him so much two weeks ago. The kiss deepened and they both moaned. He kissed her chin, then her neck, back up to her lips. A neighing momentarily stopped their heated kiss.
"What was that?" Kris asked breathlessly.
"A horse... go figure," Junior said, not really caring at the moment.
He kissed her again, but she broke it. "Hmm... Wasn't it Wildfire?" she asked.
"Yeah but you just left him. He'll be fine," Junior said convincingly as he took off his sweatshirt and threw it on the floor of the trailer.
Kris laughed and they met in another kiss. He walked her back to her bed and pulled off her shirt as she pulled his up his chest. He unzipped her jeans and they met in another kiss. They went under the covers and Junior pulled his jeans down. They kissed and had a passionate moment that would never be forgotten.
As they lay under the covers, basked in the eerie white moonlight of the October night, they had a conversation that would remain burned into their memories forever.
"Kris?" Junior asked, checking to see if she was awake.
"Yeah, Junior?" she said.
"I just want you, need you to know how much I love you. I can't just be friends with you," Junior said softly. "I have never felt this way about anyone. It is amazing and scary all at once. I just, need to know if you feel the same. If you don't then-" he stopped.
She looked up at him through tear-glazed eyes and said, "I love you too. Tonight was amazing and beautiful. It may have been bad timing, but it still meant a lot to me, Junior," Kris said. "I am so sorry for the pain I must have caused you the past few weeks. I just- I didn't want to feel responsible for you leaving and it was too much and I felt I had to push my feelings for you away and focus on racing. I realize now that that was wrong to think because my feelings-- my love for you will never go away, and I don't want it to."
Junior looked at her with adoration in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her with as much passion as he could muster, his tongue poking into her mouth making both of them settle in to the kiss. She kissed him back with just as much passion.
They broke away and he brushed his fingers across her cheek as she raked her fingers through his soft dark hair. They embraced in a small kiss before they fell asleep, Junior with his arms wrapped protectively around Kris, and Kris with her arms around him the same way. This signified that they would never let each other go. Not ever.
