know.”
Her bottom lip slips between her teeth. Shaking away any final doubts she says, “Fine. Just this once.”
“It only takes one ride to fall in love.”
Azura softly asks, “With you or your bike?”
“I'm hoping both.”
She smiles sweetly and gives in. “Alright Destin McCoy. I'm all yours.”
God I fucking hope so.
Once we're both on my bike, I take us away from the diner, away from the lights and life of the busy city towards exactly what I promised to deliver. The curves in the roads cause Azura to grip me tighter. Her heart beat races against my back. Something about the amount of trust she has in me is soothing.
Rarely does anyone ever rely on me to do more than type on a keyboard. Hell even lately Madden's been second guessing if I can do that.
Off of the main winding road, we take a smaller two lane road until it leads us to the destination I planned. Parking my bike, I pull off my helmet just as the fall night wind kicks up.
Azura who is still gripping me tightly leans over my shoulder. “Can I take this off now?”
Chuckling, I nod and give her hands a pat to let go. As soon as we're both off with our helmets resting on my bike, I grab her hand, and pull her along the path until we reach the spot I'm dying to show her.
I wave my hand casually. “What do you think?”
She gives me a quick glance before she braces her hands on the railing of the bridge. “This is...this is incredible. Are those the city lights?”
“Yeah. Prettier from a distance aren't they?”
A small hum comes from her before she leans towards them. “They're beautiful.” Quickly her face turns towards me. “Can I take a picture?”
“Of course.”
Excited Azura pulls out her phone and snaps a few photos. Immediately after she insists we turn around and take a few selfies together.
Chicks and their selfies. I swear...
Once her appetite to capture this moment is satisfied she asks, “How do you know about this spot?”
My hands wrap around the railing. “Daniel found it.”
Madden didn't always want us mixed up with The Devil. Hell, he tried to avoid letting us get tangled with it at all, but eventually he knew it was a lost cause. Eventually he accepted us into it, used our skills to harness better deals and more money in hopes of keeping Merrick far away from the survival traits we had developed. Needless to say that failed too.
“When we first got our licenses, we took random long trips all over the state, just 'cause we could. Pissed Madden off severely, but we needed a getaway. Daniel found this place and it became our in town road trip spot.” I fold my hands together and rest my arms on the edge. “One time, while we were all here, avoiding the wrath of Mad Man Madden, Daniel convinced us all to get piercings. We argued for what felt like hours about what exactly to get. By the end of it, we decided we would all get something different, the first mark on our bodies of something to stand out.”
“So that's why you got a tongue piercing?”
“Nah,” I chuckle. “After that, at some point Drew let it slip what we had planned to do and Madden forbid us from doing it. So, the teen rebellion thing kicked in.”
She snickers. “I am not surprised it did...”
“Our dad was in and out of prison, so Madden basically was our father most of the time. We hated his rules. His stupid rules, but as we got older we realized he did it to try to protect us.”
“Protect you from what?”
More like who.
Instead of responding that way I move in closer. “Life. I'm learning we all do our best to protect the people we love in life.” With her eyes now latched onto mine I confess, “I haven't been here since Merrick died.”
Azura casually moves so our arms are touching. “Why'd you bring me?”
“Because you were brave enough to give me an escape when I needed it. I
