Page 28 of Cody (Maine Silver Foxes)

A lina

It hadn’t taken long for Mia to deliver nine-pound, twenty-two-inch Nathan.

Just as I’d suspected, she’d been well into labor before she and King had arrived at the hospital.

The waiting room had been full of their friends and was slightly chaotic with all the excitement and conversations going on at once.

I got a chance to meet King’s daughter, Scarlet, and I knew all the others who were there.

The talk Cody had promised we would have while we waited for the delivery hadn’t happened, so once it was all over and we were ready to leave the hospital, he’d driven me to get my car, which was still at the hall, and then followed me home.

He’d suggested going to his place, but I’d wanted to check on Mom, and I hadn’t wanted to call her in case she was sleeping.

So while I’d checked on her, Cody had poured us each a glass of wine.

I was nervous and I wasn’t sure why. We were sitting out on the new porch, on the new cushioned, rattan loveseat.

It was late, the quiet darkness surrounding us only broken up by the occasional dog barking in the distance or the hoot of an owl.

The porch light, a soft dim glow, only added to the intimate atmosphere.

“I don’t like seeing you with Max.”

It had been quiet for so long that Cody’s voice coming out of the darkness startled me. But what startled me more was his comment. The man had nerve! Max and I were friends, while he had several girlfriends.

I huffed. “You don’t want me, but you don’t want anyone else to have me either?

” I did a poor job of disguising the anger in my voice and took a deep breath before releasing it slowly to calm down.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw his head turn my way, but I refused to acknowledge the movement.

I knew the only way I would be able to say what I really felt was to avoid meeting his eyes.

“You think I like seeing you with other women and knowing that you sleep with them?”

We were sitting closely side-by-side. The loveseat wasn’t that big, and he was above average in size.

“I never said I didn’t want you, Alina.” He took a breath. “I want you too damned much. When I saw Max kiss you, I wanted to hurt him.”

When we’d been at the hospital I’d noticed the fist-sized bruise on Max’s jaw. “You kind of did,” I pointed out, smiling in spite of myself. I’d never had a man hit another man over me, and while I didn’t condone violence, seeing the jealous rage on Cody’s face had been hot.

He grunted. “That was child’s play, baby.”

Before I could protest, he slid an arm behind my back, curled it around my waist, and hauled me easily onto his lap.

I arranged my legs on either side of him, instantly aware of his erection.

Arousal for each other was never very far away and was easily brought to the surface.

I felt a flutter in my core, whimpering weakly because of it.

“And for the record, I’ve only called two women in my life ‘baby.’” He hesitated for only a second, as if trying to decide whether he should continue or not. “Maggie was the first.”

I wondered if Cody realized how much his admission revealed to me.

Part of me was thrilled, but he hadn’t let that fact change anything.

He was still seeing other women and not making a commitment to me.

I meant something to him, and I sensed that he didn’t know how to deal with it. That, or he was fighting it.

“What am I supposed to do with that, Cody?” Why was he so stubborn and set in his ways? Couldn’t he see that we would be so good together? He would never know that if he didn’t give us a chance.

“Own it,” he growled, cupping my jaw and running his thumb over my bottom lip.

I wondered if he knew how much that one small act turned me inside out.

His gaze focused on what he was doing. “I love this bottom lip,” he murmured, as if to himself.

He leaned forward and kissed it, keeping the contact brief and butterfly soft.

Then his eyes came back to mine. “I haven’t been able to get it up for another woman since I’ve had you, baby.

Yet all I need to get a boner is think of you.

” He thrust his hips against me, backing up his statement. “You do this to me.”

I felt as if we were on the cusp of something important.

Something life changing. I tamped down my growing excitement, but I couldn’t stop my heartbeat from fluttering in my throat.

“Sounds like you have a problem, Marine.” I ground my center against his hard-on.

“Are you saying I broke your cock?” I licked my lips. “Because it doesn’t feel broken.”

Cody growled, grabbing a handful of hair at the back of my head.

“You own my dick, woman.” He ground the words against my mouth, drawing a moan from me.

Again he kept the kiss brief. Too damned short for my liking because I was ready to get it on.

“Since you came on the scene I haven’t wanted anyone else. ”

“But you’ve tried,” I voiced a guess.

“Yes. I won’t lie to you, Alina. You mean too much to me.”

I jumped on his words because I needed clarification. “What exactly do I mean to you, Cody? I need to know. I need to understand.”

He stared at me for a long time. His expression gave nothing away, but I could see the war playing out behind his dark eyes. Was he trying to come up with an explanation that didn’t set his words in stone, worried that he might confess something that he couldn’t take back?

He finally exhaled loudly as he seemed to reach a decision. “I want you in my life. Only you .”

This was huge! I waited patiently, giving him the time to choose his words carefully.

“I want to give you and me a chance to see where this insane attraction between us goes. I can’t deny that the thought of you with someone else eats away at me like fucking cancer.” I felt the same about him. “I don’t want to share you, baby. I want you for myself. Exclusively .”

I opened my mouth, prepared to respond when he added quickly, “The same goes for me, baby.”

I looked at him with slight surprise at his declaration, my heart pounding for joy. “You’re willing to be in a monogamous relationship?” I wanted no misunderstandings between us.

“Yes,” he said without hesitation. “With you.”

I was at a loss at what to say.

“We already know we had this instant, crazy attraction for each other, we know the sex is spectacular.”

Yes, it really was.

“If you feel half the things that I already feel, I think we should get to know one another better.”

Cody grew silent, and it dawned on me that he was waiting for my response.

I smiled and took his face into my hands to make sure he didn’t turn away.

“Yes! Cody, yes!” I gave his lips a peck.

“I do feel the same way. In the beginning I thought I could be like you and keep my feelings out of what we were doing, but once I realized I couldn’t it scared me, and I pulled away.

But I thought of you all the time.” I gave him another smack on the mouth.

“Thank God,” he said against my lips. “And enough with the fucking smooches. I need a real kiss.”

His mouth took control of mine in true Cody fashion, and before long the tiny smile of happiness on my lips was kissed away and I was moaning at the intensity.

I opened beneath the grinding of his mouth and sucked his tongue inside, needing to taste his passion while I revealed my own.

Kissing Cody always drew a response out of my body, and I rocked my hips against his erection.

He had one hand in my hair and the other curved around my breast, squeezing and shaping it to his liking.

Soon the sounds of the nightlife surrounding us were drowned out by our escalating excitement.

Some sounds carried in the country, but I didn’t care.

This man was devouring me with just a kiss.

I wiggled against him, wanting to get closer, and let my hands travel beneath his shirt and over his defined pecs and sculpted abdominal muscles.

I raked my nails over his nipples on the way down to his pants.

I wished we weren’t wearing jeans. I wanted Cody inside me, wanted to feel his cock filling me. One good thing about our position was that the loveseat was up against a window so that I could see inside the house if Mom got up. With shaking, eager hands I undid his pants and slipped my hand inside.

“Baby—” Cody threw his head back when I wrapped my fingers around his cock and pulled it from his pants.

Our heavy pants filled the porch as I scooted off his lap and sank to the floor between his legs and onto my knees.

He groaned loudly when I leaned forward and kissed the dripping head of his cock before swallowing him slowly.

His hips automatically thrust up, forcing his dick to the back of my throat.

I moaned at his taste and marveled at how hard and defined the veins were that ran the length of his shaft.

“Sweet fuck, Alina—” Cody’s body shuddered, his thighs tensing. “I’m not going to last,” he rasped out in a slightly regretful tone.

If I hadn’t known better, I would have thought he was having a heart attack by the way he was breathing and groaning.

His hands were buried in my hair as he slammed in and out of my mouth.

The taste of his warm, salty precum exploded on my taste buds, causing me to ramp up my eagerness to make him come.

I clenched my nails into his thighs and hollowed out my cheeks, sucking him as hard as I could.

“Fuck, Alina!” Cody snarled, arching his hips off the seat and forcing his cock against the back of my throat.

I swallowed and he roared, releasing a warm stream of cum down my throat.

His hands pulled my hair when he lost control, but it wasn’t to pull me off.

He kept me right where he wanted me until his balls were empty and his rapid breathing had slowed.

Slowly I gained control enough to let his dick, which was still hard, slip from my mouth, and I dropped down to the back of my knees.

The sight of Cody and the arousal still evident on his chiseled features kept me turned on.

His chest was still heaving, and there was a fire in his eyes that hadn’t been fully extinguished. Our eyes met.

“You’ve got two minutes to get those jeans off,” he grated.

I didn’t have to ask what would happen after those two minutes.

I glanced down at his partial erection and watched as Cody took it in his hands and pumped it.

Smiling, I rose to my feet, kicked off my shoes, and had my jeans and panties off in one minute.

He wasted no time in pulling me toward him and then lifting me onto his dick.

A long, satisfied moan escaped me as I slowly sank down until he was balls deep.

“Oh, God...” He felt so good. I sat motionless for a moment, enjoying his fullness and the feel of his minuscule movements as he throbbed inside me against my walls.

“Feels good,” he murmured, and I nodded in response. His hands made quick work at removing my shirt and then I was completely naked. He leaned forward and took a nipple in his mouth while one hand found my clit. On his way over to the other nipple he ordered, “Now fuck me, baby.”

I did. Content with the knowledge that we had the chance for a future together.
