She gave a long breath as the doors electronic lock slid open with a short beep of confirmation. A deep breath escaping her as the soreness from one of the recent bullet wounds was still healing. She stepped inside her apartment with another breath. "Gods it's good to be home again" she sighed aloud, "finishing up already?" Johnny's voice spoke from the far side of the room, materialising near the apartments window that was now closed, "if you haven't noticed, its late and I'm beyond done with today johnny. Give it a rest" she snapped at him, he was pushing her she knew, but that was because they were both running out of time. "Let's start the search again tomorrow, early" she offered with a long breath, slipping an arm under her shirt as the door closed and locked automatically and she lifted her shirt up, pulling it off as she made a beeline for the bathroom and shower. It was almost 10 already and only the cities bright lights filtered through the small cracks of the shutters, by the time she had made it to the bathrooms sink she was almost completely naked. A sea of weapons and clothes in the path from the door to the edge of the tiles.
"Still going to take up Panam's offer, take back her wheels and cargo?" Johnny spoke as she slipped out of her pants and into the shower stall, "Your girlfriend said she was the right woman for the job" V spoke, as she glanced over her shoulder, finding the silhouette of Johnny leaning against the vending machine, catching a small glance at the outline of his metallic arm. "Rouge's a straight shooter, she won't mess you around. Not like Dex" johnny assured her. The water hit her face as she let out a long breath of relaxation, placing either hand on the showers walls as it washed over her long and tangled hair, she hadn't even had time to brush it properly. "It hard to..." she started but his voice cut her off, "You don't trust her, I get it. It's hard to trust anyone in this city. You have to trust me" his voice trailed off and she had the feeling johnny was remembering something. Silence filled the room for a few long moments, and she gave a long breath and closed her eyes, shivering as a flashback to when johnny had first woken up washed over her, 'I'll take control, I'll find a way. You hear me?'.
She moved her hands over her arms, stoking herself in a small self-comfort. Her eyes turned to the small rack of shampoos and gels; it was only the basics, but it was far better than nothing. Opening the top, she poured some into her hands, it was only barely enough for one wash. 'She's so stubborn' came the thought that shook her out of her stupor. She opened her mouth to ask if he had said something but closed it again after a few moments, just simply listening as she brought her hands up through her hair, digging her fingers into the deepest reaches of the length of her dark hair. The bottle spat at her when she squeezed it again and she blinked. Her eyes drawn to the now empty bottle of shampoo. 'Is it even worth getting another bottle?' She thought to herself after a few moments, it had already been a week, and she could feel the edges of her mind slipping, it scared her, she always liked to think of herself as the one in control.
She shook her head a few times, banishing the thought before it could ruin her already sour mood and gave a long breath to calm her frayed nerves, determination filling her as she let the water wash over her shoulders and rubbed the last of the suds from her body, stretching her hands up to try to get rid of the aches and pains. The small splashes against the floor and the feeling of the hot water washing over her felt so refreshing, like all the days stress and tension was slowly washing its way down the plug by her feet.
The sound if a trill of beeps as the water cut off suddenly brought her back to reality, "Damn..." she grimaced, a small message flashed on the shower control screen, "water allowance used" it read in bold red text. Johnny had been quiet for a while, it seemed like the only quiet she was going to get for a long while. "You always take half an hour?" He asked quietly and she looked back as she stepped out of the stall, he was looking away from her at least, seeming content to look over towards the other side of the room. She ignored his quip and gave a sigh when she glanced over into the mirror, leaning over the counter.
It had been at least a week since she stopped to look at herself, the small scars over her chest still tingled with pain occasionally but Vik had patched her up good, and it was nothing compared to what she had been through at another ripperdoc down by the bay. She'd had pains for weeks and spasms that had completely thrown her. She owed Vik, a lot, and not just in eddies. Even Misty with her Tarot cards and clever insights she occasionally dropped by to check out, she didn't completely believe in it, but it was hard to ignore some of the warnings she had given her that had turned out to be true. She turned her side to the mirror, checking herself over a few times, she had lost a little weight since she had left the Corpo lifestyle and it had showed. Either hand sized womanly appendage was slightly flabby and not firm like she remembered as she hefted them up and let them fall again. "I have to start working out again" she mumbled to herself. Bending over she scooped up her discarded panties. 'Damn…. What a view' came another stray thought, and she whirled around and looked over towards him. "Johnny!" she cursed him, "What? A few centuries and a naked woman got you-?" She scolded him, hands on her hips as she spun around. She stopped suddenly when she realised what she was looking at, he had taken his shirt off and was looking at her from the vending machine. Her mouth opening and closing a few times like a gasping fish. A set of toned muscles lined his chest, the curves of his hips made her mouth dry. The jolt of warmth that cracked through her made her blush. She spun around again back to the sink. "Dammit Johnny" she cursed him; she had never thought of him like that before.
She saw him out of the corner of her eye as he came up behind her. Two arms came around her sides and she swore she could feel him behind her, even though that was impossible, he was just- she gasped in surprise when his hand dipped down around her chest, the tingle of electricity moving with the ghost of his hand when he touched her, it sent a jolt that made her shake in pleasure. She gasped when the feeling of electricity continued, eyes glancing over to the door to make sure it was locked, she didn't want anyone coming over unannounced. "You should really let me take control more" his voice spoke deeply and huskily, she swore she could feel his breath in her ear as he took her breast in his hands, stroking his thumb over it. She had never felt like this before, "Screw you, Johnny" she groaned softly, pressing her hands to the sink to push herself away from him, trying to spin around on the spot but failed when he intervened. The sound of her hollow-link chiming brought her out of it with a gasp. It was Judy, she gulped as she tapped the answer button, "Hey Judy, how's it going?" She asked, trying to catch her breath, "Hey V, did I catch you at a bad time?" She seemed surprised for a moment but sounded a little worried. "No, no just-" she bit back the gasp that threatened to escape her when she felt two fingers sliding over her stomach, dipping down between her legs and over the small flimsy cloth of her underwear, slipping over her and teasing her with gentle rubs. 'Johnny!' She cursed him, "Sorry, johnny said something stupid. What's up?" She replied, johnny continued though and it was hard to focus on what Judy was saying, it was something about Clouds and her wanting to meet but it was difficult to pay attention. "Uh-huh, I can come over tomorrow" she replied as Judy finished. Judy obviously didn't want to talk about it too much over the hollo, but she was ok with that, she was a damn good brain-dance editor and someone she trusted completely. "Alright...you look exhausted V, get some rest ok?" Judy sounded concerned and she felt her heart tug. "Will do, gotta delta. See you tomorrow Judes" she replied, and the call ended with a small chime. She groaned as two fingers slid over her again, "fuck, you couldn't wait 5 minutes?" She gasped, she was completely soaked for him already and she wanted something, anything inside her already. "You are stubborn, I'll give you that" he teased, she could feel the quake in her legs as she was starting to get close already, it was nothing like when she touched herself. This was different, but at the same time familiar.
"And those little expressions you make..." he teased, she gasped in surprise when he slid two fingers inside her already. Honesty, something she hadn't expected from him. Her legs shook as he slipped his fingers out, then in again deeply, another hand moving around to her little pleasure nub and stroking over it. "Anyone would have thought you had never done it before" he whispered huskily, 'oh gods…. He knows' she blushed and groaned at him, she felt it building, the shake of her legs getting stronger and harder. It was becoming harder to stand, he was moving his fingers faster now, stroking and rubbing her harder as she cried out. Shaking with pleasure as she came around him. Gasping as she gripped his fingers tighter to herself, "Oh fuck..." she groaned, feeling the aftershocks of her orgasm making her legs twitch in pleasure. "I think I need to lay down" she spoke out aloud, stumbling a little through a few twitches of pleasure as she practically collapsed onto her bed. Crawling up until she was laid out on her back, gasping, and panting softly trying to catch her breath, she was completely exposed to him, she could only watch as johnny was smirking at her, that signature grin of his, there was a moment he seemed to phase out of existence, but before she could say anything, she found him crawling up the bed towards her, completely naked. "I think you do" he spoke, and his arms reached for hers, her fingers locking with his as he pressed her arms into the bed, holding her down as she groaned and gasped at him. "Because this might take a while" he spoke, and she gasped when he pressed against her. Groaning in want. "Dammit Johnny..." she groaned up at him, she just wanted him to take her already. Fuck barely surviving, she just wanted to live.
