Page 103 of Breathing Without You

“Yep, I’ve decided today is the day, Sugar.” I pause to see if she can guess what I’m talking about.

“Today is the day for what?” She raises an eyebrow confused.

“I’m taking you for a ride, baby.” I pause. “And I don’t mean on my cock.” I laugh, smiling at her feeling like a weight is being lifted off of my shoulders just saying it out loud. Like I’m setting some of the bad memories free and making room for new happy memories with Emerald.

“Creedence, are you sure?” She has a worried look on her face as she stares up at me then back at her helmet. Then back to me, biting her lip.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, for once I’m ready, and I’m ready to take you with me, I’ll do anything to protect you and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“I trust you, there’s never been a time where I haven’t trusted you. You know what you’re doing babe.” She smiles up at me, like she’s trying to hide how big her smile truly is.

I walk over to my bike and straddle it, starting it up, revving the engine as I look at Emerald with a big smile on her face. It’s been a couple weeks since I started it so I wanted to let it run for a minute. I rev the engine again, smiling at the vibrations below me. I’ve missed this and I’ve never felt as close to my brother as I do now, thanks to Emerald.

“You’ve been on a motorcycle, right?” I ask her because I can’t remember if she said she has or not.

“Kinda, well I rode on one once and went around in a parking lot with a guy I dated but that was about it, so I guess yes I have, just not on the streets.” She’s biting her lip; you can tell she’s nervous.

“You have nothing to be nervous about, babe. I know it’s been a minute since I rode on my bike, but I’d never forget how to ride, it just comes natural to me.”

“I trust you, Creedence, I pinky promise.” She winks as she holds out her pinky to me and I take her pinky in mine and shake it, smiling down at her. I can’t believe how incredible this woman is right in front of me. How did I get so fucking lucky?

“I want to take you to a place I used to go to with my brother. It's about a half hour from here, do you think you’re okay with that?” I don’t want her to be uncomfortable, so I double check before just to be safe.

“More than okay, Creed, I’d love to see it.” She smiles at me. Getting a look of excitement in her eyes.

“Great, let’s get ready to get out of here then.” I walk over to her wrapping my arms around her waist, bringing her in for a hug. “Thank you, Em, for always believing in me, and for bringing me back to something I hadn’t realized I missed until now.” I pause, getting emotional. “You have no idea how much this means to me, and I have you to thank.”

“Anything for you, Creedence. I’m so glad you’re doing this too.” She lays her head on my chest for a second before looking back up.

“Wait, is this why you said I needed pants, boots, and my hair braided?” She’s giggling a little, and it’s cute how excited she is to do this.

“Yep, I needed you to be ready without knowing what we would be doing.” I tell her. “Because I wanted you to be surprised.”

“Well, I definitely am surprised.” She smiles. “I’m proud of you, babe.” She comes over wrapping her arms around me, hugging me tightly.

“Thank you, Emerald, that means a lot to me,” I tell her as I kiss her forehead.

We both get our helmets on and goddamn does she look fucking sexy. I mean everything about her is sexy but seeing her with her helmet on, mmm I could bend her over right here and fuck her, mmm or I can have her ride me on my bike. So many ideas. But I’ll save that for later. Right now, I have more important things that I need to do.

She hops on the bike behind me, wrapping her arms tightly around my waist, and I slowly pull out of my driveway, turning left as her body leans with mine.

We pull onto the highway and my body tenses up a little as I fight the urge to pull over and freak out, Emerald must sense it because she lightly squeezes my waist twice like she’s telling me it’s okay and that’s all I needed to calm back down again and focus on the road and get us to where we need to be safely.

As we pull into a parking spot, she slides off the bike and I get off behind her.

“For someone who has only been on a bike once, you did awesome,” I tell her, and she smiles.

“That’s because you make me feel safe, if it was with anyone else, I probably would’ve had to have them pull over. But I wasn’t scared with you, I told you I trusted you.” I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her waist again, leaning down to kiss her as my lips slowly graze hers. She opens her mouth for me, and I deepen the kiss. She leans into me, standing on her tiptoes as she slightly moans into my mouth. If she moans again, I’ll be tempted to take her right here in the middle of this parking lot. I pull away and move my arm, readjusting my hard cock in my pants.

“Sorry.” She giggles a little as she looks down at my cock through my dark washed jeans.

“But are you sorry?” I laugh as she playfully smacks my arm, giving me a slight smirk that tells me she’s not sorry at all.

“Okay, okay, I am sorry I didn’t mean to… I can’t help it.” She laughs. “I could blink and make you hard, I literally do nothing and your cock’s hard, why is that my fault?” She giggles as I start tickling her, grabbing her wrists together with one hand and tickle her love handles making her laugh hysterically.

“Stop okay okay I’m sorry,” she laughs hard.

“Are you though?” I ask again, smiling trying to hold back my laughter as I try to keep a somewhat serious look on my face, even with a smile.
