“Seven sounds good.I’ve always been an early bird, but you know that.That hasn’t changed.”She giggled.
Gage snorted, “Don’t I know it.Most of the time I’m the same way.Except Sundays.That’s the one day I indulge in being lazy.”
“I remember.Well, I better let you go so you’re not late.I’ll either call or text you later.Tell the boys hi for me.”
“Will do.You enjoy your day.”
Gage smiled as he and Stacey hung up.Polishing off his coffee, he reached for his jacket and helmet.Walking from the house, he made a decision.Soon, he would tell her that he loved her.Unless she said it first, in that case he’d be over the moon.But if she didn’t say the words first, by God he sure as hell would.Pulling on his helmet, he straddled his motorcycle and headed for Blackout.

“Good morning.”Staceygreeted me as she pulled off her helmet.
“Morning yourself babe,” Gage grinned walking to Stacey as she climbed off her bike.He pulled her to him and kissed her.Feeling her press into him was the best feeling in the world in his opinion.The way her lush body molded into his, her arms slipping around his waist, pulling him closer as she returned his kiss.Slowly he released her lips, “Now it's a great morning.”
Stacey laughed, “So, where we off to today?”
“Well, is there anywhere in particular you want to go?”he asked, slipping on his motorcycle jacket that had been draped over the seat of his bike.
“Krista said the Devil's Backbone takes you to Canyon Lake.That’s about all I know about where I want to go.”She replied with a giggle.
“I know that route well.Sometimes Krista, Ethan, Tony, and me ride it.You'll like it.”
“Well, then let's go.”
Stacey moved back to her bike and expertly straddled it, pulled on her helmet, and waited on Gage.As he maneuvered his own Ducati next to hers, she studied the man.God was he sexy as hell dressed in his bike gear.His battered jacket did nothing to hide how big he was but did everything to accentuate it.His black and green helmet was now on and hid his handsome face.He sent her a wink before pulling down his face shield and started his bike.With a smile she started up her bike and the two were off.
Thrilling.That was the only way Stacey could describe being on the back of her own motorcycle.Yes, riding with Gage was fun, but there was an unexpected thrill that shot through her as she rode on her own, keeping pace with Gage.The roar of the wind, the rumble and vibration of the engine beneath her.Hot, stimulating, exciting.Those were the three words that came to mind whenever she rode.Her body moving and twisting with the road as she hugged the curves of the winding pavement of East Texas.
Stacey cast a glance at Gage beside her as the road straightened out.Even behind his face shield, she could tell by the crinkling around his eyes that he was grinning like a fool.Hell, so was she as a point of fact.Arching a brow, she revved the engine a second before she shot ahead of him.It took only seconds before he caught up to her then passed her.Laughing against the deafening wind, she pushed her bike to match his.
