Cody had questioned Mia about allowing Izzy to do the story as Mia had been there and seen what happened firsthand, but Mia didn’t want to go over it all again.
Shane had become obsessed with Cody, and instead of it staying as a harmless crush, he’d taken it a step further; Mia had been scared, but nobody had been seriously hurt, and that was the main thing.
Eliza had returned home, and the groups of visiting teenagers had been reduced while Cody was laid up. He was the best person at the center to lead the groups on all the activities, so without him, it all came to a standstill, really.
“Coffee?” Mia asked, standing up in his room and feeling bored and fidgety. She was going downstairs to buy it and not make it in the room.
“Sure, don’t be long,” he replied, staring up at her from the bed. He was sat up and dressed, but Mia could tell he wasn’t happy. Cody felt useless, and Mia knew he hated not being able to do anything for himself; his independence had been snatched away from him.
He’d been instructed to rest as much as possible and keep his weight off the damaged ankle; luckily, it hadn’t been broken. The whole situation could’ve been a lot worse, and they both knew this: they didn’t discuss it, but Mia knew they both thought it.
She grabbed her wallet from the side.
“Hey, I’ve told you before that you don’t have to pay for anything, Mia. I friggin own Thrill Seekers, why are you paying?” Cody said, smiling up at her.
Mia chuckled. “I dunno, habit I guess!”
“Everyone knows we’re together, Mia; it won’t be a problem.”
“Okay, fine. I’ll leave this here then once I’ve taken my keycard out,” she said, waving her pink flowery wallet in the air before opening it and taking out her keycard.
“You do that. Go on, the quicker you go, the quicker you come back.”
Mia left the room and headed for the elevator. It was the middle of the afternoon now and still summer; the center was beautifully air-conditioned throughout, making it a pleasure to be indoors. The reception area was quiet apart from a few dejected-looking teenagers loafing around on their cells or playing with their tablets.
“Quiet day, Sarah?” she shouted to the pretty receptionist as she walked by the desk.
“Yep, just like every day at the moment. How’s Cody doing?” Usually, Sarah had no time for idle chat, but obviously, right now, things were different.
“Doing alright, but getting so bored, Sarah. He’s like a little kid with nothing to do.”
“Can you tell him I’ve not canceled his fundraising party tomorrow night, cos I thought he’d still want it to happen, Mia. I hope I’ve done the right thing,” Sarah said.
“Oh, shit, we forgot all about that! Yes, that’s fine, Sarah; it might be just what Cody needs right now to take his mind off things. I’ll let him know when I go back upstairs in a sec.”
Mia made her way to get the coffee.
She was dressed in a pale yellow maxi style dress with her black ballerina style shoes on her feet; her long black hair was braided to one side with the rest left loose. The style was perfect for showing off her small facial features. Mia’s green eyes were highlighted with a smoky gray eye shadow and some black eyeliner to add some drama. Her soft lips were decorated with a dull red lipstick.
With her yellow dress swishing as she walked, she hurried back to Cody’s room with their coffees and news about the party tomorrow.
“Hey, you, I was starting to panic; you took ages!” Cody said.
“Seriously, Cody, you’ve gotta begin calming down. You can’t stress each time I leave the room,” Mia said reassuringly, walking toward the bed with their hot coffees.
“Sorry, I can’t help it after the Shane episode; I worry about you, Mia.”
She kissed his nose gently while placing their coffees on the small bedside table.
“By the way, Sarah just reminded me about tomorrow night; your fundraising party,” Mia said smiling down at him.
Cody looked so helpless that it gave him vulnerability, which Mia had never seen in him before. It gave him a softer, more human look. He wasn’t the strong outdoor type now, but rather the weaker injured type, reminiscent of a wounded animal.
“Oh fuck! Forgot all about it, Mia. I take it Sarah hasn’t canceled it?”
“No, Cody. I told her not to as I thought it might do us both good.” Mia fancied dressing up and meeting new people. She’d bought a new dress just prior to leaving Vancouver and was desperate to try it; the party would be the perfect setting for its initial display.
“You wanna go then, I take it?”
“Sure, oh come on, don’t be a misery,” she teased him, sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning over to kiss his lips.
“Fine, we’ll go,” he replied kissing her back softly.
“I guess Izzy will be there?” Mia asked. They’d not seen much of her since coming back from the Shane episode. Izzy had been given the story on Shane, and Mia knew she was hanging around, but it was now a few weeks after the event with Shane, so she guessed that Izzy may have already left.
“She might have gone by now, Mia; you’ve not mentioned seeing her downstairs at all.”
“No, I’ve not seen her, so she’s probably gone back to Stuart with the whole Shane story. Give it another few days, and she’ll be doing whatever sexual favor he requires for her next assignment,” she mumbled.
“Jealousy, jealousy! I know you wanted Izzy.”
“Yes I did Cody, and I’m not afraid to admit it, either. She’s one sexy woman.”
“And you wouldn’t have minded me fucking her?” Cody asked.
Mia stopped and thought about his question carefully before answering, “Not sure, until you’re in the situation, it’s difficult to say. To be honest, I was so friggin horny that watching you pounding her with your hard shaft while I played with my wetness would’ve driven me crazy.”
“You’re making me hard, pixie, but as much as I wanna bend you over, lift your dress and fuck you hard, I can’t cos I’ve calls to make for this party tomorrow night.”
Mia whined, “You can’t spare like 10 minutes for me?”
“Ten minutes, is that how you rate my sexual performances, ten minutes and it’s all over?” he grinned at her while tenderly playing with the loose side of her black hair.
She play-punched him, “You jerk. You know that’s not what I meant! Who you calling anyhow?”
“A few potential donors that I’ve not thought to invite yet; the center needs all the help it can get, Mia. It’s not so much about the money, cos I’ve got plenty of that, but it’s about spreading the message about helping the teenagers,” Cody replied. He was so passionate about Thrill Seekers; which Mia was delighted about. He needed to get back on track and throw himself into the center once again.
She smiled to herself as she heard him chatting happily on his cell. He told everyone that he’d be there tomorrow night and that he’d be introducing his girlfriend, which made her face glow with pride.
Cody might be a billionaire, and as he rightly pointed out to Mia, he didn’t require anyone’s money for the center, but he wasn’t conceited. Mia had never heard him boasting about his wealth, he actually didn’t speak about it much at all.
He’d worked hard on Thrill Seekers and had put his heart and soul into the place. It was obvious to Mia that all the teenagers benefited from their time at the center and great friendships were made: after all, she’d met Eliza there. Cody never spoke of Callum and Sophia again. Mia had been truthful about their sexual encounter, and that’s where the topic had been closed. They’d not contacted her again.
“I wish Eliza could come tonight,” she said when Cody had ended the call he was making.
“Invite her, Mia,” he replied.
“She and Dwayne are away at some sort of crazy ass festival, Cody,” she remembered Eliza telling her they were heading to a rock festival.
“That’s a shame, cos you two have become close lately, and
it’s good for you to have a girlfriend.”
Mia missed her when they weren’t in touch; she missed having someone to chat to and laugh with, other than Cody.
You can’t beat a good old chat with a girlfriend!
“There’ll be plenty of other people there for you to meet, as my girlfriend!” he gave her a small smile, making his eyes crinkle at the corners and his cute face dimple.
“Girlfriend, I like my new title!” she giggled, flopping down on her tummy beside him on the bed. Cody put his cell to one side, scooted down the bed, and rolled over to face her.
“Oh, you do, huh?” he winced as he said the words.
“Watch your ankle!”
Cody sighed loudly, obviously totally pissed off with the whole ankle situation. Mia rolled onto her side to face him. “Hey, everything will be okay.”
“I know pixie; just feeling a bit low. What with Shane and my ankle being hurt,” Cody said quietly.
Mia looked up at him, stretched her slender neck upward and kissed his soft lips, “You’re just at a low, that’s all, everyone gets them Cody, and everyone gets through them; you’ll be fine, I promise.”
“What would I do without my little pixie?”
“Fall into depression, I guess!” she replied, feeling his lips on her neck. His touch was so gentle that it sent shivers down her spine and made her whole body tingle. She wriggled against him, feeling his hard erection through his thin board shorts; Cody had been living in shorts and simply taking it easy since he damaged his ankle.
He was wearing an orange T-shirt today with black board shorts. His sandy-blond hair was worn down and cascading effortlessly over his broad shoulders.
“You know if you keep doing that you’re gonna have to take it further don’t you?” Mia asked.
“Further in what way?”
“Oh, I dunno. Perhaps you’ll have to kiss my naked breasts and suckle on my hard nipples,” she whispered in his ear.
“Go on, and then what?” he asked while kissing her neck harder and pushing the bulge in his shorts against her.
Mia wasn’t used to talking dirty; it didn’t come naturally to her. She enjoyed it when she was actually having sex, but talking dirty beforehand wasn’t so simple.
“You can take my lace panties off and kiss my smooth thighs softly,” she continued, and by the way he was kissing her neck harder, she assumed he liked what he heard.
“God, that’s such a turn-on, Mia,” he breathed.
She saw the opportunity to kiss him and leant in kissing his lips hard; he responded by plunging his moist tongue into her mouth. Mia groaned quietly as her tongue found his, and together they circled and danced together.
Her leg draped across his body as they kissed, and she began to move her shoe-clad foot up and down his bare leg slowly. Her maxi dress was loose, so she’d full movement in it as she now proved by pushing him onto his back and climbing on top of him. She hitched it up further so the dress was now resting on her thighs.
Cody’s hands were resting on her silky-smooth thighs, and Mia sighed as they now crept upward underneath the folds of her yellow dress; she started to gyrate her hips so her wetness was rubbing against his hard bulge.
“Kneel up, Mia, so I can pull my shorts and briefs off,” he said with an urgency in his voice that Mia wasn’t familiar with hearing.
She knelt up, letting the skirt part of her dress fall down so it was slightly covering her thighs now. Cody wriggled underneath her giggling. “That was easier said than done!”
He raised his arms, lifting her dress up once again and placing his hands on either side of her lacy panties; slowly, he pulled them down her warm as honey skin. Mia obliged him by lifting each knee so the panties could slide easily off over her pretty ankles.
She lifted her hands to the front of her dress, which had a lace-up bodice and began slowly undoing it; with no bra on today, her pert breasts were able to bounce free straight away. She pulled her arms free of the short sleeves. Cody moaned and raised his hands up, cupping a soft breast in each hand. Mia began rubbing her now naked hot, wet, sheath up and down his naked erection. She felt his hands kneading and massaging her breasts and pinching her rock hard nipples.
He placed his hands back down on her thighs and guided his rock hard rod into her awaiting wetness; Mia groaned loudly as he entered her inch by inch, sinking down to welcome him into her quicker. She wanted to take control of him this time; she wanted to be the dominant person, the person calling the shots.
Mia took his hands from her thighs and placed them on the bed behind his head. Cody smiled up at her, staring at her dangling, jiggling breasts. Her dress was undone completely at the front now and was open to her slim waist. Her breasts were dangling freely over his face as she held his hands behind his head; he raised his head and took a nipple in his mouth.
Cody suckled the hard bud while Mia rode his hard shaft faster and faster. Her tight ass bounced up and down on his lap while she ensured she was in the perfect position for her clitoris to receive the stimulation it needed. She was in control; she let Cody’s hands go and placed her hands on his broad chest. Mia could feel her orgasm building as she rode his stiff shaft harder and harder; Cody groaned loudly.
Oh, no, you don’t. I’m winning the orgasm race this time, buddy!
She smiled as her release flooded through her slim body, and within seconds Cody joined her, saying her name as he came. Mia was satisfied she’d not only had a terrific climax, but she’d beaten Cody to the finishing post.
28. Chapter Twelve
The morning of the fundraising party arrived; Cody made it downstairs to breakfast with a little help and encouragement from Mia.
“See, told you. It’s all good; you made it down. I told you so,” she squealed with excitement as they entered the reception area.
“Yeah, okay, calm down, pixie. I’ve not made it into the dining-room yet,” Cody answered, holding her arm tightly.
“Great to see you Cody!” Sarah exclaimed as she approached the couple. “So glad you came downstairs before tonight so you can see if we set the lounge up correctly for you.”
Cody smiled at the young receptionist, making her blush. Mia knew and suspected that Cody also knew that Sarah had a huge crush on him. It made no difference to her performance at work, though, which was the main concern to Cody, so he didn’t make anything of it or lead her on in any way. It was just sweet to watch how he affected her.
“I’m sure everything will be just perfect, Sarah, with you in charge,” Cody answered.
Again with the blushing, “That’s kind of you to say, but, I’d still rather you took a look in a minute.”
“After breakfast, Sarah; Cody needs to keep his strength up. I take it out of him!” Mia smiled and winked at Sarah.
That was enough to send Sarah scuttling for the safety of her reception desk with a face as red as a ruby.
“You’re so wicked, Mia!” Cody whispered, holding her around her waist now.
“I know, and you love it!”
She felt his hand tightening around her as he whispered in her ear, “Yep, I love your wicked side for sure.”
“You do know that girl’s gotta massive thing for you, don’t you?” Mia asked, curious to discover if he knew.
“Yes, I’m aware of it, but I just keep quiet, Mia. Sarah works well and is great with the teenagers, so what if she likes me? Doesn’t just about every young woman?”
“You conceited jerk!” She laughed.
“Come on, let’s eat. I’m friggin starving,” Cody said, steering her toward the dining room.
The room was quiet as it was late for breakfast, but seeing as Cody owned the center, Mia guessed the lateness would be excused. She was right, and they were soon tucking into a plate of bacon and eggs each.
“Sorry to interrupt you two,” said Izzy, smiling awkwardly at them, her high ponytail bouncing as she moved.
“Hey, we thought you’d already left,” Mia said between mouthfuls
of her breakfast.
“I was leaving this morning, but then I heard rumors of a fundraising party and thought I’d stay for that—if I’m invited of course?” Izzy directed the question toward Cody.
“Of course you’re invited Izzy,” he mumbled, suddenly appearing very shy.
He’s awkward cos of the other night with Izzy.
Izzy leant toward him with her full and heavy breasts threatening to fall from the low-cut silky shirt that she was wearing, “Thank you, handsome!”
Mia watched as the redness crept upward from Cody’s thick muscular neck to his high cheekbones and dimpled face.
“See you tonight, my hot couple!” and with that parting shot, she vanished from the dining room.
“Well, I guess that answers whether Izzy’s still here or not then!” Mia smiled.
Cody turned to face her after watching Izzy leave in her tight skirt and killer heels.
“Yep, I guess it does,” he replied quietly.
That was as far as the conversation went regarding Izzy. They finished their food, and Mia stood up to help Cody to his feet.
“I’m fine; I’ve got this Mia,” he almost snapped at her.
“Sorry, God, I was only trying to help you.”
“I’m sorry, pixie. I’m fed up being like this; it feels shit having to rely on you.”
She steadied him by his arm, “I’m here for you Cody; I love you and will help you. You’d do the same for me, right?”
He smiled at her, “Of course I would in a heartbeat.”
She kissed his soft lips as he struggled to stand. Mia felt a real sense of togetherness when she was with him; she knew he had an eye for Izzy and Rebecca, but she was the woman he slept with—the woman he loved.
Don’t most men have their heads turned by a sexy woman?
“I love you, pixie,” he said quietly before kissing her lips back; his hands went around her back, and she felt him stumbling against her.
“Come on, let’s go and look at the lounge, keep young Sarah happy,” she said, holding him around his waist.
