Just as Daniel was about to board the plane
home, the national sales manager called
to change Daniel’s plans - confirming
the reward for good work is more work.
His successful proposal generated queries
from other client corporation execs,
the twenty hour stay was extended to a week.

Daniel first called Emily with his good news,
promised he’d see her at home that afternoon...
Murphy, that dark-humored miscreant,
loves a change in plans and followed Daniel
from one car rental agent to the next - NO
cars available at any price. Desperation drove
Daniel (by taxi) to the nearest Harley dealership,
where he rented a red rock Road King Special.

Daniel was in a hurry to leave the city behind,
the two lane asphalt running through forests
and hills could not take him to Emily fast enough...
until he remembered he had no gift, no token
of his desire, nothing to signify his love for Emily.
Daniel had no idea where the nearest florist might be,
but he remembered Em describing her favorite
garden center with a nursery full of perennials,
flowering shrubs and blossoming trees.

Daniel silently expressed gratitude for cell towers,
navigation apps and backroads without traffic.
Green Ache-rs was a large complex of greenhouses.
Impatient to reunite with Emily, Daniel knocked over
a large display pot of Lobelia, the gorgeous purple
flowers sprawled across the woodchip mulch.

Em loved Daniel’s purple surprise,
huge pot of Lobelia cradled in his lap, riding
into her driveway, rumbling his hunger for her,
Daniel’s other purple surprise soon filled Em’s
pantiless pussy, her unrestrained sounds
of pleasure scared squirrels and startled crows.

Biker babe Emily found straddling the vibrating
Harley nearly as stimulating as Daniel’s thick cock...
