Close to you

Chapter 14

My skin is on fire as we walk into the apartment. Jordan is still cheering from winning the last football at the beach. They apparently have an undefeated record of challenging tourists to a bet against who will win the game. Every few days they end up making a couple hundred dollars from a few hours just playing football on the beach. Jordan seems beyond thrilled that their streak is still going strong. Cody seems to be encouraging Jordan by boasting about their victory but he continues to stare in my direction with lustful eyes.

“Water?” Jordan asks everyone as he opens up the fridge. 

Everyone nods needing a refuel from the summer sun blazing down on us from the last few hours. 

“I’m going to go take a quick shower.” Rose says, grabbing her water from Jordan’s hand.

“Wait.” Jordan nearly chokes. “I’m coming with you.” 

The room is quiet once Jordan chases Rose off into the other room. The fire on my skin grows with anticipation of Cody’s hands touching my body. Cody leans against the kitchen counter slowly straightening his back. The rushed beating of my heart overshadows the sound of steps he takes to close the distance between us. 

He is almost in arm’s reach when the bedroom door swings open, halting him. 

“I completely forgot my bag in the car.” Rose laughs as she walks out the front door. 

“Rose!” Jordan yells as he walks out of his bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. 

“Dude. Go put some clothes on or wait in your room for her.” Cody says trying to convince Jordan.

“What? I’m just going to wait for her here.” Jordan explains, confused by Cody’s reaction.

I can’t seem to control the smile that spreads across my face as I watch Cody try to control his animalistic thoughts. He stands there watching Jordan for what seems like eternity before finally giving up.

“Jordan. Just go to your f*****g room.” Cody says, eyeing me then looking back at Jordan. Jordan looks back at me and I smile, he returns the gesture completely unaware why Cody is trying to get rid of him. 

“Callie, you can shower in my bathroom if you want.” Cody says, still staring at Jordan. 

“Oh, thanks.” I say, grabbing my bags and standing from the table.

“It’s that door.” Cody points to the far corner of the apartment. “I’ll be in there in a second to bring you a towel.” 

“Ok. I’ll see you in a minute.” I seductively say before biting my lip.

As I open Cody’s bedroom door I turn back to see him talking to Jordan. The scene looks quite comical. Cody stands over Jordan who is still patiently on the bar stool for Rose to come back inside. The way Cody is talking to Jordan looks like he is a father explaining what his son did wrong. I let out a small giggle before closing the bedroom door behind me. 

Cody’s room is warm and welcoming. The dark blinds he has are pulled open letting the sun shine directly onto his bed, which is left unmade but is inviting. He has shoes laid out along one corner of the room. He has a record player with stacks of records standing next to his computer and what appears to be DJ equipment. The aroma of his room smells like sandalwood, sultry and seductive but still a little sweet. 

I place my bag on the bed as I walk around exploring the small details of his room. The notepad with scribbled words and music notes that lays next to his laptop. The small novel under his stack of magazines that shows the binding completely worn down. A watch that lays face down on the desk that says “I love you. From Mom” All these details fill in pieces of the image that was being created in my head of him. 

“Hey.” Cody whispers as he walks into the room. 

“Hey.” I whisper back.

“Did you find what you needed in the bathroom?” He questions.

“I was just making my way there.” I tell him as I take my shoes off and step onto the carpet.

“Here, let me grab you a towel.” He walks past me to the bathroom and I follow behind him. 

“It's behind the door.” He smirks when he turns and sees me in the bathroom with him. I start to step out when he pulls my arm further into the bathroom reaching over me to close the door. My pulse quickens when I realize we are both standing, barely clothed, within inches of each other. He moves in closer to me, pressing my back against the door. His hands reach down and he pulls my swim cover off. He moves my hair to one side before he leans in and kisses my neck. His lips are pressed firm against my skin, as they make their way down my neck. His mouth travels to my ear leaving goosebumps in wake of his heavy breathing. I reach around his neck pulling his lips to mine. His plump lips massage against mine while barely caressing my tongue with his own. 

“Cody.” I barely make out between breaths.

He grabs ahold of my thighs lifting me off the ground. I wrap my legs around his waist and winch as he places me down on the cold counter. He stills for a moment. A moment too long. I gasp before pulling him closer to my body. His long fingers travel up my back slowly as he begins to untie the strings on my bikini. Once the strands fall untied, he runs his palm up and down my bare back as he works his mouth down to my chest. I lean up pushing him with me, lifting my arms as I remove the rest of my bikini top. His eyes trace down my body and he tries to lean back in. 

I place my hand on his chest to stop him. “Cody.” I say, barely able to control my nerves.

“Yes?” He breathes out.

I slowly push him further away, before sliding off the counter. Cody stands still as he watches me, trying to determine my next move. I press my lips against his, assaulting his mouth as I let my hand travel down his stomach. He flinches slightly, as my fingers slide down swim trunks touching his bare skin. I watch my hand as it explores his length, feeling him grow with every movement I make. 

“Callie.” Cody stutters as I kneel down pulling his shorts to his ankles. I don’t respond, I don’t look at him. At this moment, all I want is to taste him. My mouth moves along his length as he starts to rock. 

“Callie. Fuck.” He says, biting his lip.

The faster I move the faster Cody rocks into my mouth. I watch as his abs flex and his toes curl with each thrust. He stills before pulling me up by my elbows. 

“I was going to come if you kept doing that. I want to watch you too, baby.” He lustfully smiles at me.

He places me down on the counter. His hand moves fast to my bikini bottom, pulling them off to one side. The cool air barely touches my exposed skin before Cody slips two fingers inside. 

“Your so f*****g wet, babe.” He says, grinding his teeth together. “f**k, it’s hot!”

I place one hand around his neck and the other around his length. I lean my head back against the mirror unable to control my ragged breath as he pumps his length into my hand and his fingers into my s*x. I remove my hand from his length and grip the counter as his pace quickens. His length is pressed between my thighs and his fingers pump deep and faster inside of me. His fingers change directions as he lets his length lay on the folds on my s*x. I squeeze my legs tighter trying to control the intense pressure trying to explode from my body. My hands fight to grab something, anything to grab onto. Cody leaves messy kisses along my lips as he tries to close the distance between our bodies. 

“Oh, Cody.” I nearly shriek as I climax causing him to slow his movement into tight deep thrusts and he reaches his own. He leaves a long deep kiss on my lips before resting his forehead against mine.

“Damn babe.” He exhales. I stay motionless, barely able to nod.

“Yeah.” I barely make out. “I should probably take my shower now.”

He looks at me mesmerized. “Yeah.” He helps me down from the counter and turns on the shower for me. “I’ll be in the bedroom.” He says, before walking out.

After a good 20 minute shower, I feel slightly hung over from the intoxication of Cody. After getting ready for work I walk back into the bedroom. Cody is passed out on the bed with a towel wrapped around his waist. His wild brown hair hangs across his forehead and his tanned skin glows under the sunlight. I wish I could crawl up next to him instead of going to work. He looks so peaceful as he sleeps with a faint smile across his lips. I move his hair from his forehead and leave him a kiss, careful not to wake him up. 

Jordan and Rose both look up at me as I walk out of the bedroom. 

“Cody passed out while I was in the shower. You don’t think I should wake him up do you?” I ask them both.

“No, let him sleep. He has a few hours before I need his help. I’ll just call him here in a bit.” Jordan explains.

“Ok, well I’m ready to go whenever you two are.” I say pulling my phone out of my purse.
