was not much traffic and the streets were quiet except for the roar of the bike they rode.  She only had a vague sense of where they were.  With every corner she felt the world shift beneath her.  She let go and accepted the wild ride on the back of the metal beast.  She was acutely aware of how masculine Levi seemed guiding the monster beneath them.  The movements in his legs, the flexing of the muscles in his arms as manipulated the gas and brakes.  The leg that tapped the ground as they barely stopped at one turn in particular.  Before she thought about what she was doing she slid her hands up and away from his belt buckle.  She liked the feel of his muscles beneath her hands and she felt his abs contract as she rubbed her hands over them.
    Just as Harley was getting comfortable with the ride it was over.  Levi guided the bike into the driveway of a small house at the end of a quiet street.  When he shut the bike off the world was thrown into shocking silence and she was forced to drag herself out of the excitement of the ride.  She wasn’t entirely sure where they were.  She hadn’t been paying very much attention to the surroundings.  The best she could make out was that they were somewhere on the south side of town and not far from many of the surrounding horse farms.  When he climbed off the bike the return of the cold night air was a shock to her front that had been warmed against him the ride.  He held his hand out to her, helping her climb off the large bike.  When her feet hit the ground she stumbled slightly due to the numbness in her feet and legs.  They both laughed at her clumsiness.  “Do you live with other people, she asked?”
    “No.  I’m just renting the place short-term.”  The house was small but cozy looking, surrounded by other small, cozy looking houses.  The neighborhood looked like most other neighborhoods on this side of the city.  The houses were cookie-cutter, pre-fab buildings younger than she was.  Neighborhoods like this could never quite feel like home compared to the older subdivisions that acquired their character through the generations that lived in them.
    Levi led her up the walkway to the front door.  Her hand felt tiny in his large, calloused one.  It was late and the street was quiet.  It seemed like they were the only ones awake and the feelings of isolation only intensified the electricity between them.  Harley waited patiently as Levi pulled keys from his pocket and unlocked the door.  He held the door open for her and she walked in timidly.  She surveyed the living room in front of her as he shut the door behind them.  The place was sparsely furnished.  It had a couch and a stereo and a small table and that was the only furniture she could easily see.  It was obvious he hadn’t spent much time in this house.  The place felt empty and unused.
    Harley dropped her purse to the floor and gasped when Levi’s arm wrapped around her chest, pulling her back against him.  With his other hand he swept the hair away from her neck and buried his face against her skin.  He wasn’t wasting any time, for which she was glad.  She hadn’t been looking forward to awkward chitchat.  She could feel the scruff of his jaw and his soft, warm lips as his kissed from the curve of her neck to behind her ear.  He nipped at her skin playfully and the air rushed from her lungs.  She tingled all over and forced herself to get rid of any lingering self-doubts and let go and enjoy the sensation.  He roughly pushed her against the wall face-first.  A moan escaped from her as he pressed his body against hers.  He placed his hands against hers pinning her to the wall and she could feel the rumble in his chest as he growled against her ear.  She sighed and pressed herself against him cat-like.  She was glad there was no hesitation.  She had been building up to this all night and was relieved it was finally happening.
    They half stumbled, half carried each other
