Glory leads me to the edge of the forest, where a highway cuts through the abruptly flat grassland toward the northwest. A motorcycle tilts on the steep shoulder, looking like it will topple over at any moment. Starlight shines darkly off its body. She lets go of me and walks straight for it, lifts it in one hand, and straddles it. Her skirt rides up her thighs and she pats the seat just behind her. “Hop on.”

I do, scooting up against her. My boots fit on thin metal bars protruding from either side of the engine. Glory wiggles her butt between my thighs and I close my eyes tight. My hands are fists against my jeans, and Glory laughs as she takes them and puts them on her hips. “Don’t be a baby, Soren.”

“You aren’t making it easy.” It sounds like I’m strangling.

“I don’t like things easy.” To highlight her statement, she revs her engine. “Don’t fall off.”

The motorcycle jerks forward, leaping onto the highway. I clutch at Glory as her peal of laughter is snatched away by the wind. Cold air bites at my face and I tuck closer, my nose in her hair. The smell of bubble gum and old blood washes over me. With my eyes shut and my body tight to hers, it’s almost like flying. The roar of wind, the feel of it pricking through my torn T-shirt, ripping at my hair, as if it’s trying to pry me away from her, off the bike and back into the wild frenzy.
