It had been a long drive, but the ends had more than been productive during the raid in Tuscon despite all that had gone wrong and could potentially have gone wrong, it was enough to make both Steven Lupo and his wife Melody Smith glad to cross back over the California border to head back to their Los Angeles home. He glanced over at her, watching the way that she kept the windows down to let the wind blow through her hair despite how cold it was, smiling softly at the traits of the wolf within that showed within her constantly like this. His eyes flicked back to the road, guiding them onto Highway One so that they could travel along the coastline on their way back to their hometown as they often like to, his need to be near the ocean almost always a constant since it reminded him of a memory from when he was very young. He could recall being on his mother's surfboard with her, he was barely two years old and she was very pregnant, and she was holding him in her arms laughing, it was a memory that broke his heart and made him feel warm inside all at the same time, so for him the ocean was something he needed to be close to in order to feel close to his mother. A hand on his knee brought his attention back to the present, smiling softly as he slid a hand over hers, she always knew when his moods changed before he even did, and it was something that always made him fall in love with her all over again, even though they had been together since they were three years old and had been officially married for a year now.
"Eyes on the road now wolfy, we don't need to be getting into an accident, or did you want to pull over so that I can drive, I know that your Ritalin has to be wearing off by now and I know that makes you jittery when you're driving," Melody said softly, watching him for any signs of weariness but finding none. She knew that he was able to focus on things better when she was around if his meds started to wear off, it was part of the reason that they always traveled by themselves during the raids, so that he didn't have to worry if something bad happened because there was nothing she couldn't handle. The smile that played on his lips made her shiver, it was a coy and sly thing that gave her the naughtiest of ideas though she never would have said so out loud, she would never give him the satisfaction that sometimes the slightest of things he did made her want to ravage him fully even though she was sure that a part of him knew. She wolf whimpered at him slightly, it was one of the ways that they often talked to one another, and most would never understand a word that they said unless they too were wolf shifters.
"If I pull over at all it will be to haul you our of the car and throw you down on the sand to have my way with you, cold weather or not since that has never stopped us before," Steven said with a grin as he took his time on the highway, his two different colored eyes taking in the dark road ahead of them since they were utterly alone. The music playing from the radio made him tap his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat, glad to be as far away from Tuscon's compound as they could get since all music played there was regulated and controlled, he could never live his life to those sort of rules. The thought of never being able to play music that he liked because he would be punished according to the laws and pacts of the compound made him sick to his stomach, and he wondered if the ones that Johnny and Angel had come from had been like that, he never thought to ask about their old homes. He pushed the thoughts away, he didn't want to picture living that sort of life, he supposed that was part of the reason why he was such a prominent member of the Revolution, he wanted to abolish places like that and show people they didn't have to be afraid to be themselves.
Melody smiled softly at the thought of him pulling over to the side of the road to have his way with her, the thought sent chills up and down her spine in a thrilling wave, and she fought herself not to noticeably shiver in complete pleasure at the fantasies welling inside her mind at his words. "You are a very naught puppy tonight my Bloodwolf, I didn't think all the adrenaline from the raid would affect you this much, I am half tempted to make you do it and put your money where your mouth is," she said teasingly, she knew that he probably would if she pushed the issue enough, it wouldn't have been the first time. She still remembered the time that he had pulled off the 101 when they had passed San Francisco on their way back from a raid in Oregon and had done exactly what he had said he would have, the thought alone still made her get wet to this very day and it had been ages ago. She bit her lower lip as she heard him wolf whimper at her softly, she knew that she was exciting him and she had no regrets about this except that they were on the road and she didn't think that she would last all the way home if she didn't have him soon.
"Wolfsong, you know how hard I get when you start teasing my like that, anymore and I will be too stiff to do anything except think about all the ways I intend to sex you up to relieve the pressure that you're creating in me right now," he said roughly, he needed her more than he was able to convey to her right now. He put both hands on the steering wheel, needing to grip something in order to keep his mind focused on the road even though they were the only ones traveling along it, knowing that he could drive at any pace but he was anxious to get home and get into bed with his mate as soon as possible now.
