The man towering over me leaned over and uttered his dark promise "We will see about that."

I shivered before gaining the courage to look back up at him.

I had no idea what to reply so I randomly spoke the first thing that came to mind "Was that your motorbike outside?"

Stone remained close as he nodded once.

"Is that how you are taking me home?" I questioned, my voice coming out quieter than I had intended.

He nodded, his mouth hiking up in amusement at my reaction.

"Then what are we waiting for, Iron Giant?" I was practically jumping up and down in excitement as I squealed "Let's go for a ride."

I skipped ahead to the bike outside while revelling at the no sign of his usual truck.  Stone followed closely behind me

The large man watched me circle his bike with a small smirk.

"You look like a kid on Christmas." The deep voice mentioned with a chuckle.

"Why do you think I tolerate you?" I delivered eagerly while grinning at him "It has all been leading up to this. I'm getting on your motorbike."

Stone shook his head. His jawbone ticked and his cheek twitched as he sauntered over to the bike. He swung one of his strong legs over the motorbike before his large hands gripped the handlebars and he revved the engine.

"Get on, Medusa." He ordered while holding out a helmet for me.

I climbed on the seat behind him. I scooted myself closer to him and it suddenly became apparent how close the proximity would be for the ride.

The cushioned seat of the bike was a tight squeeze. That was due to the extremely huge man occupying all the space.

I had never been on a bike before, but I assumed I would have to hold on to him tightly.

My hand reached out and grabbed the helmet from him but then I noticed there was only one.

"You only have one helmet." I felt the need to point out to him.

Stone glanced at the black helmet before continuing to watch me unfalteringly.

I held the helmet back out to him when I insisted "You need it."

"Put it on." He grounded out demandingly.

"What about you?" I asked.

"It is dangerous." His voice grew deeper as the words left his large hollow-sounding chest "I am not going to let anything bad happen to you."

"I would make a smaller mess of mush on the road." I deadpanned.

He moved in a series of frantic feral movements. He grabbed the helmet from my hand, his warm calloused skin brushing mine in the process. He then gently placed the helmet on my head and secured it into place.

The giant remained silent as he switched on the engine and made the bike roar to life.

The bike's vibrations sent a jolt of adrenaline through me and made my body move towards the large one in front.
