The first time she saw it, she knew it had to be hers. Long, muscular, gleaming from every angle of its body, it exuded a sensuality and power that sent shivers down her spine. It commanded her attention from the middle of the showroom floor at the motorcycle show, and she was drawn to it like a magnet. She ran her fingers across the glistening chrome and onto the buttery, firm leather of the seats, flattened her palm and stretched her fingers across the rounded flanks and felt the hairs on her forearms rise in response to the promise within the sleeping beast.
It was a birthday present to herself. She could barely afford it but it was hers before she signed her name. It would be delivered to her house that weekend. She could barely restrain herself.
When the promised day arrived, she paced impatiently by the door waiting for the delivery truck to appear. Finally, just before noon, the truck rumbled onto her street and creaked to a stop in front of her house. She bounded outside and waited impatiently as the deliverymen slowly unloaded her massive chrome vehicle from the belly of the truck. Finally, she signed her name one last time, the truck rumbled away, and they were alone.
She threw on her helmet, swung her leg across the wide leather seat and sighed as the firm leather yielded to her backside. With a roar, she started it up, luxuriating in the vibrations of the powerful engine that filled her body, and with a spit of gravel, she sped away down the street.
There was a winding road near her house that traveled miles through a forested area, dark and mysterious and mostly untraveled. She liked to use this road for walking or jogging, but today it was the perfect place to try out her new toy. She turned off the main road onto the unmarked pavement and soon was swallowed by the dense green walls of the forest.
