Feel that rumble, tug that stiff pole
Quivering with anticipation, I slowly insert my keys into his ignition slot. A few moments of anticipation, some stuttering as he turns over. A moment of all encompassing rumbling as I turn him on. The engine is running, my car is ready.
I firmly grab his gear stick with my right hand and try to slide it out of first gear. He slams to a halt, stopping me abruptly. I start over, attempting to better read his signs this time. I slide my hand up and down the hard metal shaft, watching his rev counter gradually rise. All the signs are that he’s enjoying it, so I once again attempt to get into his second gear.
I slip up to his next level and we both burst into ecstasy. He lunges across the road faster than ever while my face lights up like his fog lights. I return to the rhythmic movements up and down.
I gently caress his knob, before lowering my hand back onto his shaft. Faster and faster, I try and increase the tension. We escalate with reckless abandon, unaware of anything but each other.
BAM! Red and blue lights flash behind us. Incredible amounts of passion turn into a mixture of embarrassment and shame. We have been caught, the police want to know what’s happening.
Every time I kiss you it makes my situation harder to explain to the police. Every smooch delaying the time before we can get back on the road together and finish what we started. I don’t care, I aggressively make out with you anyway.
I love the taste of your windows on my lips.
This has been a dramatic retelling of my time with a game called Stick Shift, out now on PC, Mac and Linux. It’s available for pay what you want on Itch.io.
