My jaw drops because no way. There’s no way Cody has been the one organizing my morning coffee delivery.
He kept my ribbon. My note. Remembered all the little details that make me, me. Had my favorite coffee delivered to me regularly. I wonder if he remembers…My thoughts trails off as I find the stuffed purple rabbit that has been sitting on my shelf since I moved to college.
“The purple rabbit,” I whisper the words as Cody’s lips twitch in a knowing smirk.
“I can’t believe you kept it for all of these years.” His voice has a hint of nostalgia. “That was the best money I’ve ever spent.”
“That carny had no idea who you were.” I chuckle at the memory.
“Best fifty bucks and stuffed animal I’ve ever won.”
Bringing my bottom lip between my teeth, I run a million scenarios in my head.
Just go for it, Chloe.
In two quick strides, I eat up the space between us as I throw my arms around his neck. Grasping the nape of his neck, I pull his head down to meet his lips with mine. Cody’s arms wrap around my back, and a shiver runs through me as I realize that I’m not wearing any clothes.
Sliding his hands down my bare back, his grip tightens on the back of my legs just below my butt. Before I know what’s happening, he’s hoisting me in the air. My legs wrap around his waist on instinct, and as I gasp at the sudden change of position, Cody takes the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
Tongues melting, my body has a mind of its own and starts sliding against his. My almost bare center grinds against his jean-clad cock. I moan as the friction hits my clit causing a tingling sensation to burn through my body. Desire pools in my gut as the anticipation of what’s to come ignites. My back bows as my chest presses against his, and I’m hungry for more.
It’s been so long since I’ve been touched by someone other than myself, and I’ve been craving Cody’s touch for years. I might have told Cody I wasn’t a virgin, but not by much. Halfway through my freshman year, I was tired of being reminded of Cody. Brynn and I were at a party, and I found a nice enough guy to get the job done. It was not a great experience, but I left with no virginity—also no orgasm.
Cody pulls away, and his eyes find mine. “Where’d you go?”
“Nowhere. I’m right here,” I lean in and find his lips again. His hand finds the back of my head as he presses me to him. I moan against his lips as my body starts writhing on him.
He starts walking me backward, never breaking our kiss. Gently he lays me down onto the top of my bed before he’s settling on top of me. His lips leave mine as he starts trailing open-mouth kisses along my jaw, down my neck where hepauses to suck the skin in between his teeth, before continuing down the front of my collarbone.
“Fuck, Wildflower.” Cody groans as he sits up on his knees and peers down on my almost naked body.
Feeling self-conscious under his perusal, I start to bring my arms up to cover my exposed stomach. His hands encircle my wrist, stopping my movement. My eyes find him, but the shiny gold flecks that surround his hazel eyes are darkened with desire.
“Don’t cover yourself from me. I love this body.” His eyes trail over my body, and I feel my skin turn pink.
Leaning down he kisses my forehead. “I love this head of yours. Even though it likes to work overtime to tell you lies. I love how brilliant you are.
“I love these eyes of yours. They give me a glimpse into your soul. They also allow you to read your filthy smut. I’ve also been dying to know more about those highlighted words in your books. Since the ice storm when I read that book of yours, I need to know if you’re into those kinks I read about.” I gasp as he grazes his lips over my eyes. “But we’ll come back to that later. I’m not done.”
“Now this mouth.” He groans as he plants a kiss that smacks across my lips. “This mouth gives you your voice that I love so much.”
His hands cup my breasts as he squeezes them gently while I let out a moan. Releasing one of my boobs, he slides his hand up over my heart and rests it against my collarbone. “These tits are the perfect handful, and they drive me wild. Especially when you wear these lace-covered bras. But the thing I love most is your heart.”
He nibbles little kisses over my flesh, and my nipples pebble into hard peaks. His eyes don’t miss it as he pulls the hard budinto his mouth. “Your heart is pure. It loves hard, and it’s so kind.”
Writhing under his words, my panties are drenched. Clearly, Cody has unlocked a praise kink that I was unaware I had.
“Would you like me to continue? Or do you finally understand how I see you?”
“I-I-I understand. But for the love of god, fucking touch me, Cody.”
His hands start kneading my breasts while our lips clash. My pussy seeks him out as I writhe beneath him craving the friction we had earlier while he held me in his arms. I run my hands up his chest gathering the fabric of his shirt as I bring my hands higher. We break the kiss while I tug the shirt over his head.
“You have entirely too many clothes on.” I pant, running my hands back down his now bare chest.
It’s my turn to explore. Kissing my way from his mouth, down his sharp jawline, to his neck. Sucking his skin into my mouth, I nibble on his neck. He groans as he runs a single finger from my chest, down my stomach, and dips below my panty line. Pausing, he looks up, searching my eyes for confirmation. I nod my head, and it’s all he needs before he runs his finger down, taking my panties with him.
Tossing them behind us, he grabs my arms and lifts them above my head. Holding my wrist, I nip and kiss his bicep. My eyes catch on a small spot of black ink I’ve never noticed before.
