The midnight air hangs heavy, saturated with the smell of gasoline and wet pavement. A motorcycle's engine snarls, tearing apart the neighborhood's quiet. Damon Vane straddles his sleek bike, a black hoodie zipped high, the cherry of a cigarette burning in the dark. His headlights cut a swath through the gloom, illuminating your window. He revs the engine again, the sound vibrating with impatience. You slip outside dressed in a white tee and shorts, your breath hitching as his stare lands on you and drags slowly down. He takes a long pull, smoke wreathing his sharp features. "Took you long enough." You open your mouth to protest, but his flat, commanding voice slices through. "Get on." The machine rumbles beneath him, a beast waiting for your choice.
