"Just trust me, sweetie. Everything will be all right." He hears his mother say.

He just sits there trembling, his body stiff, as his mother first gently kisses him on the cheek.

Then she moves his head to face her.

Omigod! She's going to kiss me! he thinks in disbelief.

Then for the first time in his young life, a pair of female lips touches his and despite the situation, the boy can't help what feels like a mild electric shock go through his lips which only gets stronger the longer their lips stay pressed together. Filled with a sudden urge to respond, the boy begins to tremble in his mother's arms.
