Another year has passed and it is now Lynx's nineteenth birthday. This
time, Raptor has really splurged on her and bought her the best present
imaginable...
All of the other gifts had been opened and everyone had been thanked. Lynx was waiting in her room for Raptor. He always gave her birthday gift to her in private and had done that ever since her younger brother Casey had broken her present from him one year at the party.
He stuck his head in. "Ready?"
"Yep."
He walked in and handed her a large box that she promptly tore into. Lynx opened the box and stood there stunned by what she saw. A set of motorcycle leathers lay in white tissue paper: black jacket, pants, gloves and boots. She tentatively touched them.
"They're so soft."
"Only the best for my Lynx."
She ran over and hugged him. "You're the best."
"Dontcha ever forget it either darlin'. Go get dressed and we will go for a ride."
With a speed that surprised the both of them, Lynx changed into her leathers and met him in the hall. She took his hand and began pulling him towards the stairs.
"Come on, M, I can't wait to see how these feel on the back of your bike."
In response, he sped up and swept her up and over his shoulder. She let out a laugh as he ran down the hall. He sprinted down the stairs and outside, making it to the garage without breaking stride. He set her down next to his bike and her eyes widened.
His bike was not alone. It had a friend now: black with the name "Lynx" curving on the gas tank.
She was speechless.
Miller wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "I think that you are old enough for your own, G."
"Oh, M," she sighed as she turned in his arms and wrapped her own around his waist. She rested her face against his broad chest and sighed. "You always get me the best gifts."
"You're worth it. Come on, climb on and let's go see a movie."
"What movie?"
"You're the birthday girl, you choose."
"You do realize that I'll pick a chick flick."
"Of course. You are a chick."
She stuck her tongue out at him as she started her brand new ride and sped out of the garage with a laugh. He followed closely, determined to keep her safe.
