‘Don’t worry, I won’t lose sleep over being dismissed,’ I smile.‘Knowing them, they’d still expect me to turn up with a smile.They care about image, and people might talk if Wayne’s daughter doesn’t attend.’
‘Sounds like their problem.’
‘Exactly.’
My family don’t care about what I have to say.But Zayden does, and that’s something really special to me.
‘I’m still amped up from dinner,’ he says, shifting the gearstick and reversing out onto the road.‘We gotta do it.’
‘Do what?’I ask, side-eyeing him in curiosity.
‘Go for a ride.’

ZAYDEN
NORA’S ARMS CURL AROUNDmy waist and the wind rushes against my face through my open visor.
I love riding.It gives me a rush like no other.I used to try and get Leasa on the back of my bike all the time when I had one I was borrowing, but she refused.She despised them and hated that I had any interest in them.I know it isn’t for everyone, but I’d wanted nothing more than to share it with her.Now with Nora, I feel like she respects my passion for riding and enjoys it.
The engine growls beneath me, a deep, steady thrum that vibrates through my arms as I twist the throttle.The night air slices past my face, cool and sharp.Nora is pressed against my back, arms wrapped tight around my waist, her fingers locked just above my belt.I can feel her laughter more than I hear it – soft, muffled by the wind – as we lean into a turn, the bike tilting with an easy grace beneath us.I could do this for hours.It’s all the more fun sharing it with her.
The road stretches out ahead, bathed in the pale, flickering glow of streetlights that blur as we speed by.She shifts slightly, her cheek brushing my shoulder, and I can feel her trust in the way she holds on – steady and fearless.The fact that she trusts me enough to come on the back with me means more than I can express in words.
Reaching behind me, I tap her thigh, letting her know that we’re approaching a straight and I’m about to increase my speed.The city’s behind us now, swallowed by the dark.Out here, it’s just the road, the night and the two of us flying.Her arms tighten around me further.My stomach lurches as we speed through the night, the trees a blur as we pass.
Being back on my bike, with the girl I’m falling for behind me, her arms secure around my waist, I decide there is no better feeling than this.When I need to find a mental ‘happy place’, this is it.This moment.The freedom, the adrenaline, the closeness I feel with her.It’s a high I want to keep chasing.
After a scenic drive, I take her up to the lookout I’d shown her before.She steps off the bike and I pull off my helmet.Turning to look at her, I see her beaming smile as she does the same.
‘That was incredible,’ she gushes, placing the helmet on the back of the bike.
‘Yeah?’I grin, her excitement contagious.
‘Hell yeah!’
I shrug out of my leather jacket and hang it on one of the handlebars.I swing my leg over and rest back, feeling a little shaky from the ride.Riding with someone is different from riding solo, but it didn’t take me too long to get the hang of it.It helps that Nora is experienced with corners, she knew what to do without me having to explain anything, and she clearly didn’t mind going at high speeds, which quite frankly makes her even hotter, in my opinion.
Nora steps towards me, the cool breeze whipping her bangs around her face.I inhale her floral-scented perfume – or maybe it’s her shampoo – as she steps between my thighs.I rest my hands on her hips and drag her closer to me.Her lips brush across mine in the ghost of a kiss and I groan, curling my hand around the back of her neck and pressing my mouth firmly against hers.
I shift, trying to get comfortable, but the pressure of my straining dick against my leathers is making it uncomfortable to sit down.Her hands trail down my shirt and stop at the bulge in my pants before she palms it, squeezing it tightly.I suck in a breath through my teeth and can’t help but jerk my hips towards her, encouraging her to keep going.
Her fingers circle around the button of my pants and then a second later, it pops open.I lift off the seat as she pulls them down my thighs, taking everything with her.I hold my breath as the cold air licks across my exposed skin.
With her eyes trained on mine, she lowers herself between my legs and my eyes widen.Surely I am hallucinating right now, because somehow, my hottest fantasy is coming to life right before my eyes.
Her hand feels soft and delicate as her fingers wrap around me, moving up and down in this unique way that I haven’t experienced before.It’s like she’s flicking her wrist in a particular way that has me feeling feral.For someone who hasn’t done this before, she sure seems to be learning fast.
Lowering her head, her mouth closes around the tip and I let out a shaky breath, gripping the seat with one hand and securing my other hand around the back of her head.She laps up and down my length, alternating between her mouth and her hand with a speed that makes me feel like I’m about to come undone.
‘Fuuuck,’ I groan, tilting my head back as she keeps going, drawing me closer and closer to the edge.
When she lowers once more, licking up and down my length before taking me all the way down the back of her throat, I release a deep, guttural groan as the pressure builds, and I claw at the seat, as if that will help me keep a lid on my control.
‘I’m going to—’ I start and squirm a little.‘Where …?’
She keeps going, moving faster, and I realise that’s her answer.I give over to the temptation, releasing inside her mouth.Nora’seyes find mine as she licks my slit, capturing every last drop.My God, this girl.Where the hell did she come from?
