"When will you ever learn your lesson?" Ember snapped as Max sat next to some person's motorcycle, somehow hot wiring it.
He chuckled as he touched two wires together, and Ember jumped when the engine rumbled. "Never," he stated boldly.
He then stood fully and swung his leg over the bike, straddling it as he gazed over at Ember. "Hop on."
How did he just hijack a... motorcycle?
His level of skills was concerning.
After rolling her eyes, Ember did the same and got on the bike behind him, locking her thighs around his hips in hopes of not falling off, all while giving him a backwards bear-hug.
Max then backed out from the parking lot and spun the bike around faster than she could handle, making her squeak, but he drove away within seconds.
Ember held her face to his neck while Max sped down the main road, heading for the highway again.
He was clearly speeding; she could feel her insides floating with the knowing rush.
But she opened her eyes, finding Max weaving in and out of traffic, making people honk at him but he didn't seem to care.
Ember removed her face from his back, letting the air shove against her head and neck, and she gave in to the euphoria.
She started laughing, still holding onto Max as she pushed her legs out from the ends of the seat and shrieked in excitement when the force shoved them back.
She could feel Max's ribcage rattle with his laughs as if this amused him.
She hadn't been on a motorcycle with him in a while... and last time she didn't let herself have fun like this.
In fact, she was very resistant to him then, because she didn't know him that well.
She originally thought he was going to kill her.
But now-two months later-she knew him better. People always said that "you don't know someone until you've been together for five years," but she honestly didn't care about that.
There were some parts of him that she couldn't understand; some parts that she found enraging at times.
Like how he could always hide emotion from his expression, and she couldn't read him.
But what she also knew now compared to back then...
This was amazing. She never wanted to leave him again.
