EXCERPT She giggled nervously as Andy shifted weight between legs and stuck his hands in his pockets. He was cleanly shaven and was actually wearing a button down shirt. It was interesting, considering he seemed to always wear motorcycle jackets and baggy pants. “You clean up nice, Andy,” she complimented, grabbing her purse. “Bye, Caleb.” “I got my eyes on you, buddy, okay?” Andy nodded, and Melanie could see he was trying not to laugh. As they walked outside, Andy looked her up and down probably noticing her high-waisted shorts over black hose. “Melanie, would you feel more comfortable taking your car? I can give you directions.” Melanie shook her head. “No way. I wore shorts instead of a dress so that I could ride that Harley.

She wrapped her hands around his waist, and she could feel, surprisingly, that his abdominal muscles were pretty tight, very strong. He must work out or something. She wondered why he hid it underneath all the baggy clothes. “You ready?” he asked her as the engine revved.
