back into her bag.
     
    “What fools, huh?” He asks, standing up and reaching his hand out to her.
     
      She hesitates, looking up at him before she grabs it, letting him help her up from the ground.
     
    “They just came out of nowhere…” She whispers, brushing her dirty hands over the wet backside of her skirt.
     
      Lily watches as the mystery man quietly turns around before walking back over to his bike. He swings his leg over it, straddling before kicking up the kick stand.
     
    “Lady, I can’t in good conscience let you keep walking all alone in the dark like this.” He says as he looks over to her. “You should let me give you a ride.”
     
    “No, that’s okay…” She says as she pulls her bag up on her shoulder. “I’m not too far from here.”
     
    “Please…” He says, chuckling. “So I don’t have to follow you home to make sure you’re safe. I don’t want to be readin’ about you in the newspaper tomorrow.”
     
      Lily nods, smiling softly as she walks over to him before lifting her leg, careful not to hike her skirt up too much as she straddles the bike, sliding herself onto the small back seat.
     
    “Just like this?” She asks, holding her bag against her stomach as she, looks around for something to grab onto.
     
    “Ah, so you’ve never been on a bike, huh?” He asks, smirking. “Here…”
     
      He reaches behind himself, grabbing her hand, before placing it on the side of his waist against his leather jacket.
     
    “You can hold onto me.” He says, winking at her before turning his head back to look forward.
     
      She reaches up to the other side of him, sliding towards him and squishing her bag in place between them, gasping as she feels the engine rumble under her as he starts the bike.
     
    “Feels great, huh?” He says, calling back to her as he revs.
     
    “Yeah!” She giggles, nodding her head against his back.
     
    “Just wait, you’ll love this…” He says, taking off.

Chapter 2
     
     
      She squeezes her eyes shut momentarily as she watches the buildings of downtown wiz past them as the air flows freely through her hair.
     
    “It’s just over here, right?” She hears him call to her as he turns down her street, the motorcycle leaning to the side, making her squeal.
     
    “Over there!” She points, gasping, her grip tightening around his waist as they hit a rough patch on the road.
     
      He slows down the bike, the rumbling quieting as he pulls his bike into her drive way before turning it off.
     
    “Do you want me to help you down?” He asks, glancing back at her.
     
    “I got it.” She whispers, her legs trembling from the vibrations as she slides herself off the back of his bike.
     
      She pulls her bag back up on her shoulder before reaching out to grab his arm as he reaches back towards the ignition.
     
    “Wait…” She says as she pulls away from him. “I didn’t even ask for your name.”
     
    “My name?” He asks, smirking at her. “I’m Jason.”
     
    “Jason?” She says, smiling at him as her twinkling green eyes meet his deep brown ones. “I’m Lily.”
     
    “Hi, Lily…” He whispers, his voice deep in the quiet night air.
     
    “I just realized I never actually thanked you for saving me.” She says, chewing on her bottom lip. “How rude of me…”
     
    “Don’t worry about it.” He says, reaching again to turn his key.
     
    “No, wait…” She giggles, stopping him again. “Let me make you a cup of coffee or something…”
     
    “You always make coffee this late?” He ask, raising his eyebrow.
     
    “No…” She says, her cheeks flushing. “Only when I want to thank men for saving my life.”
     
    “Oh, so you get in trouble a lot, huh?” He laughs, trying to keep his voice down to not disturb her neighbours.
     
    “Do you want to come inside or not?” She asks, stepping closer to him as she reaches up to rub her fingers over the collar of his worn leather jacket. “Or are you too
