“Yes, but I’et on your bike in this dress”

He s his eyes roam over my body, and I hated to admit it, but that turned me on

Shit, noas flustered “Just pass me a helmet,” I snapped at him

He did what I asked and then turned around, settling into his seat while I atteh to allow me to sit on the bike behind hih I did feel likeout for all the world to see
