Gone and Reborn

DATE

Jo spent the next week being thankful about having something to look forward to at last. She was finishing her make up when the doorbell rang and she hurried to put her lipstick on, then walked to the entrance and found Saul standing there, wearing jeans and a black biker jacket. His long hair tucked neatly in a ponytail and a bright smile on his lips.

-Ready for our date, Sugar?- He asked as he leaned on the door frame and flexed his arms over his chest.

-I don´t know- Jo replied hesitantly-  I´m not really much of a dating person. I find them awkward, to be honest.

Saul´s smile only widened and his eyes sparkled with amusement at her words.

-Well, that´s because you´ve never dated me- He said c*****g his head and eyeing her proudly- Just give me this night and you´ll change your mind.

-Whatever- Jo answered rolling her eyes, walking through the door and closing it behind her- Let´s go already and get done with this.

Saul grinned and led her to a big black motorcycle parked a few spots away and Jo awed at how beautiful it was, but made sure not to show it that much.

-Are you an M.C. member or something?- she teased-like in that Sons of Anarchy series?

-Nah- he laughed lightly, patting the gas tank cheerfully- I just like how this baby holds, that´s all.

-Don´t you have a car, like any normal person?- Jo asked, running her fingers through the shiny, chromed pipes.

-I do- he replied as he grabbed one of the helmets strapped to his rear-view mirror and placed it on her head, tightening it and making sure it was properly fastened- but trust me, we´ll get there a lot faster if we go on my bike.

He put the other helmet on his own head, then climbed on the big Harley Davidson and extended his hand to her. Jo inhaled a deep breath and took it shakily, mounting behind him and holding to his frame. Her arms encircling his stomach and her nose taking his scent in deliberately at the closeness of his body.

Saul´s hands cupped hers for just a moment, drawing circles with his fingers and squeezing them slightly before turning the engine on. The roar of it startling Jo and making her shiver.

-Where are we going anyway?- Jo called out over the loud noise and she felt him laugh. His voice singing in his chest and making Jo hold her breath.

-I would tell you but it´s better if I just show you... Now let´s go Sugar, it´s getting late.

And with that he pulled out and started driving. He rode them through the rush hour, zigzagging among the endless lines of cars, effortlessly evading them and promptly leading them to the highway.

He kept going fast and steadily, his lips curling upwards every time Jo held to him tighter, speeding a little bit more just to feel her hands digging into his abs. Her long hair waving behind her and into the air.

An hour later they arrived to a picturesque little town, the sun had started going down and Jo´s eyes traveled all around the small cute houses as she took the view in.

Saul finally stopped and parked no longer after, helping Jo down his bike as they both got out of their helmets. He locked them into the bike´s black leather saddlebags and then escorted Jo through the outdoor restaurant and to a wooden table while she admired the decoration, her eyes landing on the hundreds of lights that adorned the tall trees. Her mouth dropping when she saw the big lake that extended all through the edge of that place, its dark waters sparkling with the reflection of the tiny white LEDs.

They sat at a quiet spot and Saul ordered them some beer and an appetizer.

-This is such a beautiful place- Jo commented, her head still rotating to appreciate every detail- I´d never been to this town, it´s so cute, thanks for bringing me here.

-Really? Gus told me you were a traveler- Saul smiled, munching on some fries and giving her an amused look- One would think you would know the city´s surroundings by heart now.

-Well, I do travel a lot- Jo explained, scratching her neck- but I usually go to other countries. I just came back from France and now I don´t know where I should visit next.

- That sounds like fun, Sugar- He replied, his eyes piercing her soul and making her want to jump all over him, wondering how his body would look like naked.

-Trust me, it is way more boring than it seems-Jo muttered sadly- Once you do it often enough, airports and places just start melting into one another.

- Why do you keep on doing it then?- Saul asked, his brows furrowing with intrigue-You don´t seem like you enjoy it that much anyway.

-Cause I don´t have anything better to do with my life- Jo sighed- I hate home quite as much as I hate every other place. I guess I just like things sucking in a different location for a change every once in a while.

He didn´t respond. Instead, he just stared at her for the longest time, studying her every expression. Then a shadow crossed his sight briefly and he closed his eyes.

Saul reached for her hand and Jo got startled at the suddenness of his touch. Her fingers tingling as his warm hand engulfed hers.

-Things get better, sweetie-pie... I know that- He simply said.

His face getting dangerously close to hers, his full lips tempting her to just drop everything and start eating and biting them whole. Her panties wetting at the thought.

-Kiss me- She whispered and reached for his face, holding it with both hands and making out savagely with him.

She savored his every breath and marveled at the softness of his lips for a long time. When she´d finally quelled her urges and satisfied her thirst for his mouth, she broke apart and found him staring at her with his most charming smile. Her chest trembling at the sight of it.

“f**k me now!” her brain screamed... And she couldn´t agree more. 

-You know? You taste like paradise, Sugar- he said kissing her softly again, his teeth gently grazing her lower lip-And I could really see myself getting hooked into that.
