Vee's heart was thudding in her against her ribcage, a solid assault against the delicate bones there. The rush had yet to wear off. Years stuck under being a useful member of society did nothing to lessen the adrenaline rush. "I nearly forgot how it felt to get my hands on one of these bad boys." It had been so long since this feeling had filled Veronica's blood, the thrill that came with this particular brand of mischief. She had missed the very essence of aliveness that filled her bones. Her body responded in an interesting and inconvenient way.
Nothing but long black road stretched in front of them, and they had long ago lost any pursuit in the maze streets of the stinking metropolis. Cody was sitting in all confidence against the decadent leather of the stolen car's seats; his hands relaxed on the wheel, caressing it like a lover. His face was set in an assured smirk. He was driving the car hard, sending it along like a wicked shadow across the road that lead between the outskirts of the Hobble and the Canyon. Vee felt the acceleration from the floorboards up into her legs to pool in her center like some great beast vibrating with excitement. Her eyes closed with the thrill as she felt her body forced back into the plush leather seat. She laughed, low in her throat and it made Cody's head swivel toward her. "You alright then?" He asked his voice breaking against her fuzzy thoughts.
"Never better," she purred and pulled the tight leather jacket off of her shoulders and tossed it into the back seat. The black tank-top she wore strained against her curves as she bent her body in the chair in order to take the jacket off. Cody had to tear his eyes away and look at the road again. He didn't know what to think of the husky voice or the sinuous form of his partner on a good day. Seeing her looking like this was unfair. She rolled down her window and warm desert air whipped into the car, carrying the smell of hot dust and Vee's soap into his face. His head whipped around to look at her again and he saw in the bright light of the moon and the car's controls every shape and curve of her bent against the seat of the car, her arms spread over her head and her feet curling off of the floorboards like a lover caught in a moment of pleasure. He felt his guts clenched, his gaze raking over her.
She had her eyes half lidded and was pressed against the seat her hands running over the leather and shining chrome of the interior. Her back was slightly arched and as if the wind had chilled her, her breasts strained and her nipples showed hardened under the thin fabric of her shirt. Cody gulped, trying to find some way to alleviate the tightening of his jeans. "So... When we got to the Canyon-?" He let the question hang and waited, his breath held.
He thought, with the mention of business, Vee's rigid manner would snap back. Her next comment took him completely off guard. "I was told once, by a very prosperous car thief, that the only way you can tell a good car from a bad is on how willing you'd be to fuck in the back seat." Cody's eyes went wide and he looked at her shaking his head. She was looking at him out of green cat's eyes, the corner of her mouth turned upright. He shuddered. "This is a very good car."
"Vee..." He cleared the gravel from his throat and turned his head back to the road, determined not to let this little hallucination get the best of him. Surely Veronica was not coming on to him. He was frowning hard when her voice whispered over his skin.
"Yes?" Her breath was on his ear. He gulped.
"What's wrong with you?" He felt her give a sharp sigh against his neck and he turned as she pulled away. His hopes of finding his taciturn partner sitting next to him were dashed instantly. She was still watching him with an expectant expression. She had an arm casually tossed across the back of her seat, her other hand was tangled in her hair. She looked good when she was relaxed. He didn't buy it though. Her mouth was set in a predatory line and she was watching him with shadowed eyes.
"There isn't anything wrong with me..." She leaned in again and Cody was stuck exactly where he sat. Her hand was petting the interior again, over the displays as her mouth found the sensitive spot just below his ear.
