Beads of sweat slide down my neck. Nobody knows how hot a warm day is until you wear a leather motorcycle suit during one.

“There’s no one.” He cocks his head to one side, urging me to catch his meaning.

He places his legs between the bench of the picnic table and the top part of it, bringing my body closer to his.

“I don’t know, Harvey... I might turn to ash.” He takes the ice-cold water bottle from my bag and presses it against my neck.

“Chin up,” he orders, and I listen, drinking the miracle water he pours down my throat, then my neck. It wets my top, showcasing my bra, goosebumps leveling up all over my body.

The water then trickles down my navel to my spandex shorts.

He lifts my shirt, freeing my breasts from each cup, giving himself something to suck. Then his hands travel under my shorts, holding my sex, staring at me like the burning fire that will turn me to ashes.

“Don’t worry—this will be the quickest quickie in the history of quickies.”

We end up spending the entire day riding, taking many breaks to move our legs around. Riding for hours feels like you haven’t moved your muscles for weeks. My back posture is worse on my sports bike since I lean forward at times.

On the evening ride back home, the scorching sun rapidly transforms into dark cloudy skies soon replaced by a downpour.

“Harv... I can’t see anything...” I tell him through the connected Bluetooth speakers attached to our helmets.

“We’re almost home, babe. It’s just a little rain.”

It’s not alittle rain—at all.

I’m trying to keep up with him, but I don’t want to skid off the road, especially with the steep curves greeting me.

He’s far away, and with the darkness surrounding me and the pouring rain, I can barely make out the slight dim glow of his taillight.

I don’t like this . . . at all.

Anxiety cripples me, fiercer than a lightning bolt. The nerves are multiplying inside of me from losing sight of him.

“We really should stop . . .”

I hear his chuckle through the speaker. “Or... we could hurry the hell up so I can get you home and naked.”

Relief washes through my veins at the sound of his laughter.

“GEMMA! Watch—” The fear and vulnerability are too palpable in his words before the sound of squealing tires overshadows his own voice.

“HARVEY!” I yell, my pulse racing faster than I’ve ever ridden.

What happened?Whathappened?

The pit of my stomach feels like it’s burning in hell.

It’s as if I died—as if I’m dying. My heart drops, and nausea swarms all through my gut. The sound of his voice holds on to every corner of my brain—ensuring I’ll never forget it.

I see some lights, but the showers are masking my ability to see clearly.

The rain hits my waterproof suit in full force, the wind propelling it against my bare neck, soaking my gloves.

It’s all my brain registers in this moment, the smell of pine trees—and this earth-shattering rain.

I’m going fast—so stupidly fast—because I need to reach him. I need to reach Harv and help him and see why he screamed my name.

“Harv—Harvey,” I repeat through the Bluetooth. “Answer me!”
