"Other than the fact that you're adorable when you try to be bold, nothing." Claire studies the girl infront of her. Tall, dark blue eyes, and long chocolate brown hair. She has a scar on her forhead, and a jawline so sharp it could cut through cemnet. Not to mention the pericing on her left eyebrow and the few others on her nose and her ears.

Claire obeyed and hoped onto the back of the bike. She grabbed Alex's waist tightly, not wanting to fall when they started off. The bike roared as they took off down the street. "Hey, sweetheart, can you reach in my pocket for a second." Alex says loudly tobthe girl behind her.

Claire hesitates, but obliges and reaches for Alex's pocket. Her hand touched cold metal, making her instantly pull her hand back.

Alex rolls her eyes and reaches into her pocket, balancing out the handle bars. She pulls out a silver pistol and hands it to Claire. "Do you know how to work

    I lift my hips in encouragement and feel his every stroke land in the deepest part of my belly. He shifts forward, because he knows my body also, and swirls his hips, eliciting a long, low moan from me. He releases my hands to capture my breasts, pausing the ramming of his hips against mine to suck on them hard, pinching the skin and biting the tender swells. When he showers my shoulders and neck with kisses and love bites, I grasp and pull him into me. "Ugh, Jim, make me…"…
