“He’s friends with Angelo. He sits on the council. Look into it, is all I’m saying.”
Brow furrowed, TJ watched Cody eat some chicken. “How would you know to tell me to look into them?”
“I was a kid, remember? They talk in front of kids, especially kids who were fuckups like me. I heard things. They would say something cost like ten dollars when it only cost eight and keep the difference. Cass knew and said nothing. Another reason to hate him.”
TJ leaned back in his chair and rubbed a hand over his face. “Shit.”
“You don’t have to deal with it now. You need to get some program on the computers, and it’ll do the job for you.” Cody carried on eating like he hadn’t dropped a bombshell in TJ’s lap.
“You can’t say this to me and carry on like normal. This is embezzlement. By the council.”
“Not the council. Angelo. Investigate him. Though I have been away for four years so it may have changed, but when I lived with them it was Angelo, and Cass knew. He might have been involved as well.”
“Would you have told me about this if I hadn’t mentioned being a man short?”
“Probably not. I don’t care about them. I care about you. If you had moved from here, I would have found you where you lived.” Cody sat back and placed his hands on the table. “Cass isn’t the man you think he is. He plays a character for you and Carter. Has for years, but I don’t care. I came back for you and only you.”
“We can’t do this. I can’t do this with you.”
“I figured that when you ran out of here with your dick out for all to see.”
“Damn it, Cody. This isn’t funny.” TJ stood and straightened. “I need you to find a new place to live by Friday. My kids are staying over then. I’m so happy you’re alive, but I can’t do this with you. You’re a great kid, Cody. I’m glad you’re alive, that you got your life sorted out and you know what you want, but it can’t be me.”
“Okay. I understand. Finish your food and then go to bed. I’ll sort something out.”
“You’re okay with that?” TJ honestly thought Cody would put up a fight, but he wasn’t.
Shrugging, Cody picked up his fork. “It’s all good. Sit down and finish your food.”
TJ slowly sat, his eyes on Cody, who ate like everything was fine. Picking up his fork, he tucked into his food, enjoying every mouthful. Cody could cook, and he would miss this when he moved out. When he finished, Cody brushed off his attempts to help, telling him to go to bed. Trudging upstairs, TJ undid the button on his jeans and sank onto his bed, running his hands over his head and face.
It had been a long day. A long god knows how many days. A sound on the stairs had him lifting his head and staring at the doorway. Cody stood there, watching him but saying nothing. When he stepped inside, TJ stood and watched as Cody closed the door.
“I am young, but I’m not a boy. I’m not a kid either. Stop judging me by a number.”
Sighing softly, TJ murmured, “It isn’t just your age.”
Nodding, Cody walked toward him, stopping when they stood toe to toe. “Cass. A man who means more to you than me. I don’t care about him. I only care about you.” Cody placed hisfingers under TJ’s chin and tilted his head up. “Only you,” Cody murmured, then kissed him.
Chapter Fifteen
Cody
Cody felt TJ’s body tense as he kissed him, but it lasted seconds, if that. TJ’s lips parted, allowing Cody’s tongue to slip inside, and he took the kiss he’d been wanting all day. He grabbed TJ’s face, slid his fingers into TJ’s short hair, scraped his nails along the scalp and let his tongue tangle with TJ’s. Pushing him down onto the bed, Cody lay over him as he continued to kiss him.
Years he’d been waiting for TJ, and now that Cody had him, nothing was going to stop him from taking him. By the time Cody got TJ’s shirt off, they were both breathing hard.
Kissing TJ, Cody moved his hands down over TJ’s chest, feeling the scattering of hair that covered it, and Cody rubbed a thumb over one of his nipples, swallowing the groan he gave. He plucked and teased it, moaned when TJ arched up. His dick hard, Cody wanted to taste it again, so he broke the kiss and kneeled between TJ’s thighs. TJ watched, eyes hooded, as Codyunzipped his jeans then moved off the bed, tugging the jeans down TJ’s legs, leaving him naked.
TJ’s eyes widened, and he sat up, but Cody stopped whatever he was about to say by kissing him again. TJ moaned, his hands moving over Cody’s shoulders, and Cody whimpered. To have TJ kiss and touch him. A dream he’d had for years finally coming true.
Cody wanted to be naked too, so he stood and stripped, then moved back over TJ. When their bodies touched, Cody shuddered, his dick hard and rubbing against TJ’s. He thrust against him, unable to keep his hips still, and he captured TJ’s lips in a dominating kiss, his tongue thrusting in and out of TJ’s mouth, his hands gripping the short hair.
TJ bucked beneath him, his moans loud in the bedroom, and Cody lifted his head, staring into TJ’s hooded eyes. “TJ.” Kissing him again, Cody groaned when TJ grabbed his ass, the fingers digging into the meaty flesh. “I have to taste you.”
Cody pushed down between TJ’s legs and sucked his cock into his mouth, swallowing around the head. He needed TJ now. Needed to taste him, needed to fuck him. Pushing his legs up, Cody moaned at the sight of TJ’s asshole and licked across it, feeling the puckered flesh on his tongue.
TJ cried out, and the sound spurred Cody on. Lapping at his hole, Cody mumbled, “Lube.” A bottle appeared next to him as he speared his tongue into TJ’s ass. TJ cried out again, the sound echoing around the room. Cody fucked his ass with his tongue, then lubed a finger and pushed it inside. TJ shuddered, his legs spreading wider, and Cody crooked his finger until he found that spot inside TJ’s ass that he knew would make him feel good.
