"NATSUKI!" Shizuru cried out, as she wrapped her arms tighter around Natsuki's waist, as they both blasted down the city streets on Natsuki's motorcycle.
Natsuki let out a loud laugh, as she felt her girlfriend's arms tighten around her waist, and in response she revved her bike and put on just a bit more speed.
The sound of Shizuru's squeal was music to her ears, and Natsuki felt a grin of satisfaction cross her face as she considered this her payback to Shizuru, for being such a troublesome little minx earlier.
Not that she was complaining about where Shizuru's ever playful nature usually led them. Hot, sweaty, and completely naked on the living room couch for the better part of the afternoon was always a good place to be in Natsuki's book.
Unless of course the rest of that afternoon was spent hurtling down a mostly empty road, the wind rushing fast and hard through her dark locks, and her girlfriend's arms wrapped tightly around her waist.
Yes, life was good for one Natsuki Kuga.
When Natsuki felt Shizuru bury her face against the side of her neck, she decided to take some pity on her girlfriend, and slowed her bike down to only semi-illegal speeds.
By this time the day had passed into late evening, and as Natsuki and Shizuru continued to hurtle down the road Natsuki decided to make a quick detour, and quickly turned off of the main road onto a smaller road that wrapped around the side of the mountain.
Shizuru raised her head from Natsuki's neck as she felt the bike make its sudden turn, and then she let out a small gasp that Natsuki could still hear despite the power of the wind whipping past them. Shizuru gazed with burgundy eyes full of wonder, as Natsuki drove past a scene that nearly took her breath away with it's beauty.
The bike sped along the mountainside, with a sheer drop off the side prevented only by a thin guardrail, and beyond the guardrail there was a view of sparkling, pristine water shimmering far below. The sun's fading rays lit up the surface of the water in a dazzling display of red, orange, and yellow hues. There were a flock of white birds flying low over the water's surface, looking almost as if they were flying into the sun itself, as the day finally faded into night.
Shizuru once again tightened her arms around Natsuki's waist, and leaned her face against her girlfriend's neck. Natsuki carefully took one hand off of the bike's handlebar, and lightly squeezed one of Shizuru's hands which were pressed against her leather-clad stomach.
Natsuki felt a slight grin come across Shizuru's face, and then she felt the briefest whisper of a kiss against her neck. Natsuki swallowed hard, as she quickly put her hand back on the handlebar in an effort to keep the suddenly-wobbly bike steady, and she could have sworn that she felt Shizuru's grin turn slightly wicked.
As they said, payback was a bitch.
Natsuki once again revved the bike's motor and it jumped forward in a burst of speed, and this time Shizuru laughed happily as she gave Natsuki's waist a quick squeeze. Natsuki joined in on Shizuru's infectious laughter, as they sped along to wherever the road may take them next.
