Running away from home. Just like kids.

Briefings with Saul were getting more and more tense. Carrie could feel the strain on all of them as a real, palpable thing. Beside her, no one had ever had much faith in Brody, which was largely her fault. How could she explain her change of heart without explaining it was exactly that. What was harder was not telling him about how bad it was. Every time she was vague it was a physical pain.

The final straw was a heated conversation about what they would do if he were found out, revealed to be on a mission. They had escape plans, but it was clear very few people in that room gave a damn if they worked. Or if they even existed. She'd been through hell for the man they were dismissing like so much dross and all because... She wasn't that sure why because at this point. It was about Saul, really, and she knew that. That's why when he made a passing comment that made it sound damn like he'd made his decision and Brody didn't figure into it at all, she felt her stomach lurch so badly she almost had to leave the room.

She didn't go to him that night, that would be stupid. She waited a day, all of which was spent wondering when she would throw up. She got there late, just before dark, and sat back to watch the men finish up before meal break. He looked good. Better than when she saw him last, even.

Comments

[neverwrongagent]

She groaned again, having to work not to close her eyes. This was harder than she remembered. "Yes, really. Okay, beat up, but cute."

[posterboymarine]

He knew he was getting to her, so he kept right on teasing. "Cute?"

[neverwrongagent]

She gave him such a look, then rolled her eyes. "Yes. Tall, straight, nice eyes. Very cute. Of course, after you filled out you looked even better." She shrugged. "I like how you look."

[posterboymarine]

"You know, some people actually use the word 'handsome.'" He pressed his fingers roughly against her, then leaned in close and growled against her ear. "Because I think you're beautiful."

[neverwrongagent]

She started to laugh, then she flushed slightly. She usually got pretty. Also crazy. "I use the word handsome. I'd use it for you. When you're dressed up." She reached up and touched his cheek. "But in jeans, smiling at me, you're cute."

It was the smiling part. Handsome was too serious.

[posterboymarine]

He nodded. "Okay. I accept cute." He pressed his fingers a little harder against her, then back off to just teasing.

[neverwrongagent]

She shook her head at him, biting back another low moan. He was a horrible tease. "You do? That's good." She was gonna use that, later, when she could think straight. For now she was going to rock against him and concentrate on the road.

[posterboymarine]

He laughed, then lightened up his tease until it was the barest touch. "What kind of sandwiches did they make us?"

[neverwrongagent]

"You want a sandwich?" She couldn't keep the surprise from her voice. "I have no idea. None." She couldn't believe he was thinking about food with her moaning beside him.

[posterboymarine]

He started to laugh. He wasn't hungry at all. But teasing her was certainly proving entertaining.

[neverwrongagent]

He was going to pay when she got him behind a nice, solid hotel room door. She might even tie him up and really make him pay. That idea did not, at all, help the situation. "You are way too good at this."

[posterboymarine]

"My misspent youth." He pushed the crotch of her panties out of the way and lightly, and only once, brushed against the soft flesh there,

[neverwrongagent]

She was not, at any level, going to ask if he did this with his wife. Ex-wife, kind of, although not legally. Not now, not ever. "You know what? I was a very good girl. I didn't do dangerous, stupid shit until I was in my twenties." Then she really worked over time at it.

[posterboymarine]

He laughed and nodded. "This does not surprise me. I'm certain you were an angel."

[neverwrongagent]

"I was!" She laughed softly. "I didn't want to upset my dad or my sister. And I wanted to do well in school. I was a grind." She shrugged. "Then all hell broke loose and it took a while to get back on track."

[posterboymarine]

With a nod, he shifted his hand and pressed hard. He really wanted to shut her brain down for a moment, give her a chance to just be in the moment.

[neverwrongagent]

"Oh fuck!" She jerked against his hand, shaking her head hard and trying to keep her eyes on the road. "I will get you back for this tonight. So hard." She'd have sounded more threatening if she wasn't so breathless. "That feels really good. You always do."

[posterboymarine]

"Get me back? After what you did to me earlier?" He curled his fingers against her, teasing even more. "That doesn't seem very fair."

[neverwrongagent]

She nodded. "Yes, after that. You liked that." Never mind she liked what he was doing very much. This was about teasing, not anything else. "I liked it. I will do that again later." She groaned softly. "Until you beg."

[posterboymarine]

He took his hand away and smirked. "Maybe you should get your pants out of my way."

[neverwrongagent]

She stared at him for a good long time, not so much because he was crazy, even if he was, but because she couldn't figure out how to do that in a car with no cruise control. Finally she kind of figured it out and got working. It took some serious work. "Seriously, next car. Cruise control. Also, skirts."

She got her pants off, finally, and looked over at him expectantly. She had not, however, taken off her panties. She'd have killed them both if she tried that.

[posterboymarine]

He watched her struggle, then he started to laugh, shaking his head as he managed to stay out of the way. Barely.

He hadn't of course, meant that she had to go that far. He just wanted better access. Now he had all the access he could want. He groaned softly as he started more fully rubbing, using the friction of her panties as a further tease for both of them.

[neverwrongagent]

There was no way she was going to deal with the restricted movement while he played. It wasn't safe. Just because he was an outie and she was an innie? No way. Not when she could get those wonderful hands on her properly. She groaned loudly and shifted in her seat, careful to keep the car's direction and speed even.

[posterboymarine]

"Impressive." She was doing better then he had with the driving thing. Of course, he was building her up a little more slowly, too. Sort of.

He put more pressure against her, looking for another groan. With his free hand, he rubbed his own budding erection through his pants. "See what you do to me."

[neverwrongagent]

"To yo--" She glanced over. "Oh. Yeah, well, I could have used a change of panties. You'll live." She might not if he kept teasing her that way. She hadn't teased him. Well, not that much. She wriggled against his hand a little. "We're gonna catch fire when we can touch each other at the same time."
