Two Ships [rp for neverwrongagent]

After the call, he'd said he would stay put. And he did, right until he got word of where she was coming in. Then he throw his things back into his bag and made his way to the nearest Couch Canada station. He took the bus and found the cheapest motel he could. He got a room on the backside of the building, and he waited.

He tried to sleep, something he'd been mostly unable to do since he'd called her. But every time he closed his eyes, he imagined he felt the burner phone vibrate and he jerked awake. Finally, he just gave up and turned on the TV. It didn't manage to hold his interest, at all, but it was background noise.

With that noise quieting the doubts in his head, he waited.

He was going to answer her. He really was. Then she pinched him again and he howled. Someone was going to complain if she kept it up. His fingers dug hard into her her hips, holding her down even as he bucked under her again.

[neverwrongagent]

The howl was answer enough. Luckily for them, loud sex noises were hardly new in that motel. She let her head fall back so he could see that what they did affected her just as much even if she didn't make the same kind of noise. She was right on the edge, though, and it wasn't going to take much to push her over.

[posterboymarine]

He was still fighting to let her have control, even as she seemed to be pushing some of it back on him. She was going to be bruised for as hard as he was holding on. And for as hard as he thrust into her. There was no getting around it, not now.

[neverwrongagent]

Bruises were fine with her, they were something she could take back with her. They weren't anywhere that anyone else would see anyway. She leaned back down over him, nibbling at his neck for a long moment before whispering in his ear. "Give me everything. All of it. So I can carry it with me."

[posterboymarine]

Perhaps, when he was alone again, he would consider her words in a different light. But for now, all he did was nod. Then he stopped fighting. He drove into her, taking what he needed.

[neverwrongagent]

Knowing what was coming made it easier to stay with him. She wanted to feel all of his release, all of the power of it. She wasn't giving up control, she was pushing him toward what she wanted. Watching how he moved, feeling him inside her, knowing how amazing it would be, all pushed her toward her own release. She was going to fall right with him, but she didn't want him to know that yet.

[posterboymarine]

He held out as long as he could, then he cried out loudly as he came. He felt like it was over quickly, and yet it seemed to go on forever. It was damn near to floating and falling, all at the same time.

[neverwrongagent]

She made it about halfway through his release until she let go. In that moment she lost touch with anything but him. Floating and falling about covered it to the point that she collapsed over him when the full power of it passed. She had no bones left at all.

[posterboymarine]

He weakly wrapped his arms around her before groaning softly into her hair. He would not be moving anytime soon and all he could do was hold her, barely.

[neverwrongagent]

Luckily for him, she wasn't going anywhere. She wasn't capable of it. Groaning softly, she hid her face against his neck, rubbing against his beard. She wanted to tell him that everything was going to be okay, that she was there for him, that she loved him, but she had no breath left for it. The best she could do was to kiss his jaw.

[posterboymarine]

He whimpered again before he went completely limp under her. It was all he could do anymore. A few moments passed before he sighed softly. "Love you."

[neverwrongagent]

She groaned, but only because the way she wanted to respond required moving. Sitting up a little, she kissed him tenderly before whispering back to him. "Love you, too." Then she flopped back onto him. "A lot."

[posterboymarine]

"I noticed. You're here." He nuzzled her cheek. "Thank you."

[neverwrongagent]

Her breath caught, making it take a moment before she could answer. "Needed to be here."

[posterboymarine]

Given that he was right on the edge of being done with all of it, her coming had probably saved both their lives. "Thank you."

[neverwrongagent]

She gave up and whispered a soft, "You're welcome," before curling up against him. She understood him saying it, even if she didn't think she deserved it at any level. In a very real way, they'd gotten themselves into this together and they would be bound together by it forever. Loving each other made it play out differently than any of them could have expected.

[posterboymarine]

From her tone, he knew he needed to just be quiet and enjoy. There would be time enough later to question what they had gotten themselves fully into, his fugitive status aside.

[neverwrongagent]

After a long moment, she found enough energy to shift in his arms and move to his side. She snuggled against him with a whimper. He felt so solid and real. Her hand rested on his chest and she counted his heartbeats against her palm. Every beat was a moment they had together.

[posterboymarine]

He exhaled long and low as her hand settled. He was quiet for a long time before he spoke, gathering his thoughts. When he started speaking again, his voice was broken, perhaps even worse than it has been when they'd spoke, when his state of mind had forced her into action.

"I picked out a spot, you know. No one would ever find me. Nice view. Water. Not a big lake, but still, nice enough. Out of the way. No muss, no fuss."

[neverwrongagent]

She was as startled by his words as his tone. Still, she didn't jump or sit up, she just kept her hand on him until he was done, then she leaned over to kiss above where her hand rested. "Do you like it? Really like it, not just like it enough?"

[posterboymarine]

He snorted softly. She thought he was talking about a building site. He'd never put a cabin there. He meant something else entirely. But he couldn't spell it out. It was too hard.

[neverwrongagent]

When he didn't answer, she pulled back to watch him for a long moment, her expression darkening with every second. "No." She shook her head. "No."

She didn't know what else to say to him but that. He couldn't do that to her. To them. Not when she was working so hard to clear him, to find a way.

"No."

[posterboymarine]

"You came." That was all the answer he had for her. It had to be enough. She's come, so he wouldn't do anything rash. But she deserved to know that he'd thought about it, all the same.

[neverwrongagent]

That was too close a call, too gut wrenching, and she shuddered hard before she curled hard against him so he wouldn't see her cry. "You aren't alone, Brody. Not this time. I swear it."

[posterboymarine]

He shook his head. "I am, though. You are a thousand miles away. It's not your fault and I know you're trying. But it's still me out here in the cold."
