“What is this?” I asked. My heartrate increasing.
“I know you’ve never been with a biker before, but I figured you’d at least recognize a motorcycle when you see one,” he teased.
“I know it’s a motorcycle,” I said, swatting his chest. “It’syourbike, but that’s not much of a surprise.”
“I thought we could go for a ride.”
It was then I noticed the motorcycle was fitted with a sidecar and my feeling of panic was joined by the warm fuzzies.
“You got a sidecar for me?”
“The sidecar is for Lord. Look here,” he said, leading me around to the side of the bike where Lord’s name had been painted on the side.
The customization didn’t stop there, either. On the gas tank, was a beautiful painting of an orchid with the words,The “Lord” is my Copilot, and the license plate read STRLGHT.
“I know the thought of being on a bike scares you, but I thought maybe if Lord rode with us, you’d feel safer. We’ll stick to country roads. There are tons of beautiful, remote places around here we can go.”
I threw my arms around my man and kissed him with everything I had.
“This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me,” I said, my eyes welling up with tears.
“It wasn’t just me, baby. Moses and Rocky have been helping me restore this beauty and Healy did the paintjob. Look, there’s a safety harness for Lord in there and we even got him a helmet.”
“I can’t wait to thank everybody,” I said.
“As long as you don’t thank them the same way you’re gonna be thanking me.”
“Oh, I haven’t even begun to thank you properly. Just wait until after closing time.”
I kissed him again and we finished out our day in a haze of blissful happiness.
Scooby
Aweek orso later, I was back at Rowan’s.
“You want quesadillas?” I asked her after we’d had another marathon fuck session.
“Mmm, yes, that sounds great. I’m just going to grab a quick shower, okay?”
“Yeah, baby.” I kissed her quickly and headed out to the kitchen.
For the past month, we’d been living in virtual bliss, and I had started to relax and let her goodness sink in. I was at her place pretty much every night and if I couldn’t be there, someone was watching her. She was protected at all times. We were getting to know each other, and we were getting closer than I’d ever gotten to anyone.
I was pulled from my thoughts when Lord suddenly leapt to his feet, barking violently, and nosing at the crate door, followed immediately by Rowan’s screams from inside the bathroom. I grabbed the kitchen knife from the counter and bolted down the hall to the bathroom as quickly as I could. Swinging the door open I found Rowan, wet and naked huddled on the floor as a masked man dressed in all black climbed through the window in the opposite corner.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
She didn’t answer right away, so I asked again.
“I just froze,” she rasped.
“Baby, it’s okay, that happens,” I said. “Are you okay?” I asked again, and she nodded.
“Get out of here and stay with Lord until I say,” I said, placing myself between her and the intruder.
“Sh…sh…should I c…call the police?” she asked, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
“No cops, just go,” I commanded, and she ran out of the room.
