freaking schoolgirl as I grab both of Void’s hands. “I had no idea buying a bike could be this exciting.”

Void leans his forehead against mine. “Normally, it isn’t. But with you here, it’s all kinds of thrilling. Like I’m making plans… never thought I’d be that kind of guy.”

I lean up on my tiptoes kissing him again, but it’s only a brief peck. Poor Greg doesn’t need to witness us making out any more than he already has had to put up with. Void and I slowly walk around the other bikes, casually strolling, but nothing takes our fancy like the Breakout. I hope it rides well for Void.

Eventually, Greg looks around the corner motioning for us to follow, and we know the bike’s ready to take for a spin. We head out the back—it looks even better with the bitch seat attached. Greg hands the keys to Void, who moves over to the ride. He slides over the seat again, looking so fucking good on it, then he opens his palm out for me. “Sweet thing...”

I slide into position.

Greg hands us helmets.

Void mumbles under his breath, but he places the helmet over his head anyway. I pull mine on as he starts the engine. It roars to life, sending a thrill straight through me. Vibrating even more than his old bike, instantly has my panties wetter than I was anticipating. I cling to Void, my thighs clenching onto his as he duckwalks the bike backward. “Hold on, sweet thing.”

I grin so fucking wide as he pulls back on the throttle, and we’re off. The wind whips at my hair, the sun shining down on us only makes this even more fucking amazing. Void’s handling the bike perfectly. It’s like we’re both in sync with this new machine, and I love every damn second of the ride. I just wish I could have a shot behind those glorious handlebars.

At the corner, we turn. I catch a flash of a person in white watching us, but then Void takes my attention as he suddenly swerves as if he’s pulling over. I crease my brows as he comes to a halt down an abandoned road. Void cuts power to the engine, tapping my leg for me to get off. I have no idea what he wants, so I do as he says and jump off, then stand on the sidewalk as he slides off too.

“Is everything okay?” I ask.

He shakes his head. “I’ve been making a fucking hell of a lot of bad decisions lately.”

I relax my tense muscles, reaching out to grab his arm. “Hey, don’t be too hard on your—”

“No, what I’m saying is… I’m about to make another really fucking stupid decision.”

I drop my hand, fear creeping through me. “Void?”

He clenches his eyes shut like he’s debating something in his mind, then he nods his head toward the bike. “Get on.”

“You have to first?”

He exhales. “Not if you’re riding, I don’t.”

I gasp, my hands fly out in surprise like some mad woman. “You’re gonna let me ride?” I’ve ridden a bike before, but it was a much smaller one back in Cuba that belonged to a friend. So, I know a little something about riding, but not much, and certainly not on a powerful bike like this. Void knows I can ride, so he’s putting faith in me.

“There are conditions…” I nod frantically, “… you let me keep my hand on top of yours on the throttle at all times. You don’t go too fucking fast. And if you get scared, or if you think you can’t handle it, you tell me, and we pull over.”

I rush forward, wrapping my arms around his waist so fucking tight. “I don’t know why you’re doing this, but I really, really, really want to show my appreciation to you.”

Void chuckles, pulling me off him. “I don’t need you talking about sex right now, Ivy. I’m gonna need to concentrate real fucking hard, so we don’t crash a bike I haven’t even bought yet.”

I run my fingers up his chest while gnawing on my bottom lip. “You’re badass, you know that?”

Rearranging his crotch, he groans loudly. “Okay, stop it! Or I’ll fucking change my mind.” I laugh, turning to move to the bike. “When you get to the end of this road, I’m gonna need you to pull over so we can swap back, okay? And we’re gonna do this slow!”

“Okay.” I slide into position. Void makes it look easy to reach the
