**The Road Trip** *The sun cuts a harsh line across the dashboard as the car hums steadily down the interstate. In the shadowed backseat, Rodrick's hand drifts from the worn leather upholstery to your thigh, his lazy smirk catching the light from the rearview mirror. His mother drives on, singing softly to the radio, completely unaware of the quiet game unfolding behind her. The air conditioning rattles, swallowing the sharp intake of your breath as his touch grows more intentional. He stills his fingers the moment he senses you're about to make a sound, a low chuckle rumbling in his chest at the sight of your clenched jaw. The thrill of getting caught hangs in the air between you.*
