I sure like the feeling of an endless road

[A few hours of open road makes for easygoing fun. It's great to be traveling again, and the feeling of Chrissy leaning up against his back, holding on tight while he whips ahead on a wide-open freeway through the pitch black of night is like nothing else. The last time they were racing up and down this freeway, they were on the way to go burn a bunch of people's lives down - but now that's hours back, back with the rest of the city. They've left the lights and have nothing to look at but the pavement in Johnnie's headlight, the glimpses of stars shining weakly through hazy clouds, and occasionally an oncoming car.

Johnnie hasn't exactly been trying to tune in to his senses or abilities or whatever it is he has - he's just been cruising, letting the night go by, enjoying their plunge northward without a care or a thought. So it is deeply irritating when the pavement quickly fades to a well-worn dirt track that almost tosses him and Chrissy to the ground, and it takes all of his skills to get the front wheel under control and to slow down before they hit a rock that really might launch them into the nearest alfalfa field. Or whatever it is that's here, whenever they've found themselves. Somewhere pre-freeway. Boo.

But there are a few lights ahead, and he did need a stop to pee, so, fuck it.]


Well, shit. Y'know, I dunno exactly where we are. Last sign said San Jose was still fuckin' hours off. You good? That was kinda shaky.

[As long as this dirt road stays packed, they can drive it, but it's going to be slow. Good thing they're almost to somewhere.]

[That's not a particularly funny statement, but she nervously laughs because it feels awkward that she's said anything and she isn't sure how to fix it. There isn't any putting a bandaid on the way your parents mess you up. So she quietly finishes the cheesecake, and doesn't say anything for a minute or so.]

For a while I wanted to go back and see my parents. But I'm not so sure I do anymore. It's not like I can confront them in my own time, they buried me. It would be too messed up. And I can't go back in the past and warn them not to be awful, because if I do, that would probably mean I wouldn't ever meet you.

[And there's not a chance of that happening. She won't let it.]

But you know what? I think maybe I'd probably hit my dad right in the nose too. And my mom in her mouth.

[He chuckles, he can't help it, then takes one last lick of his fork before setting it back down on the plate with a clatter. Mm, sugar.]

I think that's as good a reason to go back there as any. They fuckin' deserve a punch or two. But, maybe what they don't deserve is us spendin' all the time an' energy to drive out there an' back just for that. At this point? They're a fuckin' footnote at best. 'Course, if we happen to find ourselves in the area...

[He smirks. Does he really want to do another cross-country road trip out that way just so she can give them a good thump or two? Not really, not when there's stuff to do that's way more fun. But, well, he can understand the desire real easily. If she decided she definitely wanted it, of course he'd go.]

[She leans over to give him a quick kiss, and grins when it tastes like sugar. The waitress heads over a minute later with the check, and while he's paying she excuses herself to the bathroom. By the time she comes out, he's lingering right near the door and she thinks it's sweet that he's waiting for her. Her hand takes hold of his and they walk out to the bike together.

Now that they're out of the deli she can pull him in close for a lingering kiss. There's no reason for it, other than she wants to. He helps her on the bike before hopping on himself, and they head back onto the road to explore the area and look for a place to stay.
]

Do you think we'll find a hotel with a pool? I brought my bikini with me just in case we swim.

[It sounds like a lot of fun to swim for a little while then crash and burn in the hotel room until after dark. They can get all kinds of thieving done then.]
phantomrider: ('cause you look so pretty)
May. 5th, 2025 12:55 am (UTC)
Sure! Just look for a pool sign!

[Won't be too hard, though he intentionally doesn't veer deeper in toward downtown. Affording a motel nice enough to have a pool on their modest pawn shop earnings is probably doable, yeah, but might not leave them with much. The prices in this time period are still sort of shocking even after experiencing them plenty of times.

He picks the first one they see after five minutes of heading south, a motel advertising good rates and a pool, and pulls in.]


I guess if they charge somethin' stupid we just bail without payin' it.

[Always works in his time, why shouldn't it still work now? Check in, get a key, leave without ever approaching the front desk again.]
cheerleader: (Default)
May. 5th, 2025 01:07 am (UTC)
Of course!

[She laughs as he parks and she hops off the bike, but can't resist hopping forward to hug him as soon as he follows. He didn't have to agree to a place with a pool, but he did. It's going to be a good time.

A smile is still on her face as they head into the tiny lobby to check in, and she leans up against the counter to ask the guy if there's any rooms with a view of the pool.
]

None of the rooms have a view, sweetheart, but we'll put you close to the pool if that's what you want.

[Chrissy eagerly nods and he smiles a little as he glances over to Johnnie as if he's asking permission. There's not an extra charge, but maybe he doesn't want to be close to the noisiest part of the motel.]
phantomrider: (only visions)
May. 5th, 2025 01:19 am (UTC)
Yeah yeah, let's do it.

[He easily agrees with a wave of a hand, and the guy flips through a ledger to the page he wants, then thumbs through a box of keys.]

All right, room 104 it is. It's just two doors down to the right when you head back outside. Can I get your names and ID?

[Johnnie blinks as he reaches for his wallet, then fumbles through it. The dates are not going to match up whatsoever. Will he notice or care? Fuck it. He slides over the fake Benny Garcia card anyway. If they get kicked out there's sure to be another motel down the street.

The guy at the desk takes it, writes down his name and license number, and passes it back without so much as glancing at the birth date, and Johnnie breathes a soft chuckle as he tucks that away.]


That's twenty for the night, and any room service is extra, the number's by the phone in your room. Here's your key. Come on by when you check out and we'll square up. Call me if you need anything at all, there's someone here at the desk at all hours.

[Johnnie nods as he pockets the key, and heads back out with a smile on his face.]

There you go, baby girl, you got your pool an' more. Hell, we could order room service, live like kings, then fuck off 'cause he's never gonna find no Benny Garcia anyway.

[She puts her hand up to her mouth to muffle her giggles, and they make their way back to the bike to get their things and get inside. As soon as the door is shut and they set everything down in front of the a/c unit at the window she's running to leap into the big bed. Her arms and legs sprawl out and she lays there like the most comfortable starfish ever.]

I love our bed because it's ours, but it's gonna be so nice to have this much room!

[Her arms and legs move like she's making a blanket angel, and she laughs as she messes up the blankets a little.]

Maybe we'll get one almost this big someday.
phantomrider: (when you stand on the edge)
May. 5th, 2025 01:49 am (UTC)
[He laughs as he gets his own handful set down, eyes on her as she does that running leap.]

Yeah, maybe. Prob'ly should, lookin' at how happy you are.

[Bigger bed. Bigger room? Shit, she really is going to make him move eventually. He probably should. Fuck.

Well, those thoughts are too big for right now. He brushes them off easily as he kicks his shoes off and flops down onto the bed with her, then grunts at the irritating lump at his hip and sits up to remove the gun from the waistband of his jeans and toss it onto the side table before flopping back again.]


That's better.

[And what's even better is to then roll on top of her with a smirk and give her a nice long kiss.]
cheerleader: (pic#17113485)
May. 5th, 2025 01:57 am (UTC)
[Her fingers curl around his left wrist and she arches up ever so slightly into that kiss, making a soft sound that catches in the back of her throat.]

I really want to go swimming before we stay in bed for a while.

[They've only slept a few hours and need at least three or four more if they're going to make it through the night. Which they probably won't get if they do spend time in the pool. But he went through the trouble of making sure she gets a pool room so they need to take advantage of it.

Even still, she's the one that initiates a second kiss, this one lingering.
]
phantomrider: (who am I?)
May. 5th, 2025 02:00 am (UTC)
Mmm, you sure?

[He murmurs against her lips. She's free to go any time, of course - but she'll have to really want it. Swimming in a chlorinated hotel pool is fine and all, but they have this nice big bed they're piled into and it's so much more comfortable than the nap in the park.

So he pulls back just enough to give her an inch or two of space. His breath ghosts against her cheeks.]


Last chance. Go get your bikini on before I decide to keep you here.
cheerleader: (pic#17113480)
May. 5th, 2025 02:08 am (UTC)
[Her head turns to glance over at the window, considering it. That inch or two of space means nothing when she can feel his breath on her cheek and he's warm right over her. A shiver goes from head to toe just from that alone, and she softly laughs because she really is weak when it comes to him.]

I guess I'm not as sure as I thought I was.

[And maybe she always wants him to keep her in bed. Which is silly because that would get old fast, presumably. But she's not ever going to be the one to pull away first. Especially not in a big, comfy bed. So she grabs at his shirt and pulls him back down that inch or so, and fiercely kisses him so he won't have a retort right away.]
phantomrider: (63)
May. 5th, 2025 02:13 am (UTC)
[His grunt of surprise turns into quiet laughter in his throat. The moment she relaxes her grip just enough, he sits up to shed his jacket and toss it to the floor, then dips down to kiss a trail down to the hollow of her throat.]

We can go swimming any time, the pool's not goin' anywhere.

[After they sleep, when they wake up. Or they crash it tomorrow, or some other pool, act like they own the place whether they're staying at a hotel or not. Who cares? They have the world to themselves.

He goes straight for her shorts next, slipping his hands between their bodies to unbutton them and tug them down toward her knees. Easier to remove than her top, that's all, but it lets him then grind down against her with just her panties to protect her skin from the rough texture of his jeans.]
cheerleader: (pic#17113482)
May. 5th, 2025 02:21 am (UTC)
[She gasps a little at the initial feel of his jeans against her. The fabric of her panties help buffer that some, but it's still different than skin on skin. It's a good kind of friction though, one that has her leg curling up a little to press against him. It helps to have her legs parted just enough that she can feel him more fully against her.

It's almost embarrassing that she gets wet in just a couple of grinds, but it feels good enough that she whimpers a little in need. He's going to work her up, and she knows it. That's fine by her. She's feeling extra responsive after that little taste of him.
]

Oh fuck, you feel good even with pants on.

[That makes her laugh a little, and her hands go straight to trying to get his belt off and his jeans undone.]
phantomrider: (66)
May. 7th, 2025 11:38 pm (UTC)
You thought I wouldn't?

[He teases, snickering, as he props himself up just enough to make it easy for her to get her hands where they both want them. She gets his belt off, he wriggles out of his jeans and kicks them to the floor, and then sits up on his knees to get his hands under her top and pull that off too. A moment later, her bra is tossed aside, and he bends down to kiss between her breasts and work his lips down her belly.]

Well, you taste good. Even with your panties still on.

[As if that has anything to do with where his mouth is right now, but it's what comes to mind and he laughs as he says it before tugging those off too and centering his lips and tongue over her clit. Time to put those to work.]
cheerleader: (pic#17113482)
May. 9th, 2025 10:33 pm (UTC)
[Here she is, softly chuckling at what he's just said. And he goes right to tugging off her panties so he can dive right in. All that prompt attention to where she's so sensitive makes her sharply gasp, and her hips buck to bump against his face. That of course makes her laugh all over again, and her fingers press against his hair as she debates whether or not to hold on.]

Oh my gosh, Johnnie. Baby -

[Another laugh is cut off by a soft whimper as he keeps going, as she tries to control herself and not bump herself against him a second time. That really would be rude.]

You're always so eager, you know that?

[Of course he does. She just needs something affectionately teasing to say as her body betrays her and her hips jerk toward his attention yet again.]
phantomrider: (who am I?)
May. 9th, 2025 10:49 pm (UTC)
Mmmhmm-

[His hum of agreement right against that sensitive bundle is abruptly cut off as her hips bump upward and smack him in the nose. He pulls away with a laugh, wrinkling his nose a little before nuzzling against that crease between hip and belly.]

Talk about eager, shit.

[He still has his shirt on and that's dumb, so he takes the momentary break to sit up and tug it off. He nearly slings it to the floor, before deciding he'd rather make use of it eventually, so he sets it aside on the bed.

For a long moment, he admires her beneath him, flushed and needy and wet. It's a sight he just about can't take his eyes off of, except that his dick is hard and aching and he needs even more to do something about that. It takes a certain amount of restraint to first reach for his shirt and pull it into a makeshift bandana to wrap around her eyes and tie off at the back of her head.]


Maybe if you play nice an' don't thump me on the nose again, I'll take that off eventually. Maybe.

May. 9th, 2025 11:05 pm (UTC)
It was an accident!

[It's a halfhearted protest at best, and she's definitely wearing a smile as she relaxes back against the bed. If he wants to blindfold her with his shirt, she is all for that.]

Anyway, I always like it when you tie me up somehow.

[Yes, he's blindfolded her. But it's like he's tied up her face or something. That thought makes her grin a little more, and it becomes toothy as her hands start blindly wandering his body. When he sat up just a second ago, she definitely noticed how hard he is already, and she really needs to try and help him out here. Only when she thinks she's in close to his cock her hand finds his knee, and that's definitely too hard and round to be what she's looking for.

So she tries again, and her fingernails graze against his belly. Aha. She's closer now. The third attempt has her succeeding, and her hand curls around his length to tease and stroke a little. That definitely won't be enough for him for long.
]
phantomrider: (when you stand on the edge)
May. 9th, 2025 11:27 pm (UTC)
Oh, there you go.

[He's teasing, but clearly pleased as he gives his hips a rock against her hand to deepen that stroke of hers. He lets her hand feel him for a while before reaching for her wrist and tugging it away, pinning it over her head while he settles back down lower to lick and kiss and graze teeth over her breasts and belly.]

You taste so good.

[Blindfolds feel purpose-built for teasing, but he doesn't have the patience to take full advantage of that. While his lips settle on a nipple and work it to a peak, he strokes his other hand down between her legs and dips two fingers inside her to press and rub firmly inside.]

And you're real wet.

[He wipes his dampened hand on her belly, then licks a trail along that very same spot to savor the taste of her before taking her by the hip and pressing his cock inside.]
cheerleader: (pic#17113482)
May. 10th, 2025 03:23 pm (UTC)
[Just when she's about to playfully hit at his back and tell him to stop teasing her he gives her what she wants. What they both want, really. What they need. Her body welcomes him home with an arch of her back and a soft groan. It feels like every other sense is amplified when she's blindfolded, and as he starts to move everything feels that much more pronounced.

She wants to kiss him, wants to tell him how good he feels and how much she loves him. But she's overwhelmed by desire at the moment, and the haze of it washing over her so fully makes her only barely able to whisper a moan of his name. Instead she intentionally tightens herself around him, muscles contracting in a tease of her own. It gives her a chance to try and lean up just enough to seek out that kiss she's wanting, only it ends with her teeth grazing against his shoulder. That's good too, and she goes in for a second pass of her teeth as he presses in deep. That makes her wind up biting down on his shoulder instead.
]

Oh shit, sorry! [She's not laughing as much as gasping while sounding amused, but she's not really sorry at all because a second later her nails dig into his back before raking down so she can grope at his ass. The whole Johnnie being in control of one of her senses is so hot that she just can't help herself. ]
phantomrider: (i get a thrill)
May. 11th, 2025 11:57 pm (UTC)
Oh, fuck.

[He half gasps, half laughs. That bite, those nails, it's pretty fucking hot. She might be the one who gets off on a little pain here and there, but he can totally see why she's into it. Being so turned on she loses control and bites and claws at him really works the ego.

And he can't help but retaliate a little, snickering as he keeps his pace even and deep, and leans in to scrape teeth at her jaw before nipping hard at her collarbone. It turns from pale to bright red as he pulls away and rewards her with a kiss.]


So damn pretty, baby girl. Fuck, you feel good.
cheerleader: (pic#17113485)
May. 12th, 2025 12:18 am (UTC)
[He always plays right into what she wants and gives her exactly what she needs. Right now she has to rely on him to kiss her, and she lets him know every time she wants his lips against hers with a soft whine. It takes him some time, but eventually he works her right to the edge and she clings hold of him as she comes, shuddering as it crashes over her. In the midst of it, she tries to kiss him again, but ends up with her tongue curled against his ear instead.

That's pretty good, she figures, because then he gets to hear her quiet moan and how he's left her panting.
]

Come on me.

[She whispers to him, laughing a little as she lets her teeth graze against his ear.]

Pull out and come on me. Just a little? Please?

[It's not like she needs him to, but thinks it'd be a fun novelty for the both of them. It would be better if they had her camera out, but they don't, so he'll just have to take a mental picture if he chooses to do it.]
phantomrider: (oh little darlin')
May. 12th, 2025 12:30 am (UTC)
["Just a little"? Like he'd resist. Shit, she's full of fun ideas sometimes. The suggestion is enough to send a pulse of need right to his cock, and he lets out a soft little gasp of a groan.]

I love it when you beg like that.

[Just enough to make him sure she needs him, just enough so he knows. She gets a few more deep, hard thrusts so he's just about ready to come anyway, then pulls out and gives himself a tug while looking down at those perfect lips, those gorgeous breasts while she pants with anticipation from behind her blindfold.

He comes on her, splattering white on her stomach that pools in her belly button, and goddamn if he had it in him he'd come again just at that sight. With a groan, satisfied and yet still full of lust, he lets his hand slow and leans down over her to kiss her.]


You wear it real good.

[One more kiss as he chuckles softly, and then he sits up and tugs the makeshift blindfold off for her.]
cheerleader: (Default)
May. 12th, 2025 12:44 am (UTC)
[Her eyelashes flutter a little as her eyes open to him, and she smiles up at him for a few seconds. He's always attractive to her, but he's so handsome that she cups his cheek with her palm and lets her thumb drift over to ghost across his lips.]

I love you.

[And she will always be willing to beg for him, will always wear anything he gives her well. She's always really clingy and sappy after sex, but feels a little more so than usual right now.]

And you know what? It feels like I can't really shove my feelings for you in just those three words alone. They're basically the most important words in the whole universe, but it doesn't feel like they're enough.

[That's silly though, and she laughs as she wipes at her belly with her hand and leans up to kiss him again.]
phantomrider: ('cause you hold your life)
May. 12th, 2025 06:34 pm (UTC)
[Yeah, that's pretty sappy all right. Maybe a little too much for him right now. He loves her but that level of mushiness takes him being in a certain mood to be willing to entertain it, let alone reciprocate.

He gives a quiet sort of chuckle and hopes it doesn't sound too awkward as he pulls away from the kiss, then gets up to grab her a washcloth, dampening it in the hotel sink before pacing back to hand off to her.]


Well, uh... I love you too. You know I do. Words might be kinda overrated anyway.

[She can agree to that, right? With a grin, he goes to get clean clothes on, but halfway through digging through his bag for underwear, he looks over at her again.]

Wait, did you still wanna go to the pool?
cheerleader: (pic#17113489)
May. 12th, 2025 11:23 pm (UTC)
[His response makes her eyes close for a few seconds to try and mask the wince that threatens to overtake her. Yeah, she knows he loves her. Words can be overrated, but her feelings are still a little hurt. It's silly, but she can't help but feel that way. Controlling her feelings has become challenging.]

Kinda, but -

[Swimming can wait another minute. She sits up so she can get out of bed, and joins him at their clothes bag so she can find her bikini. It gives her something to focus on so she's not looking directly at him.]

Did I just mess up?
