While Cody focusedon getting herself pretty, J.D. and I headed down a few floors to Jorge's and Isaac's room. That was where I'd been staying, but I didn't plan to keep it that way. Together, the pair of us gathered my stuff and hauled it back up. Even better, it seemed J.D. had picked up a spare key for me, so I left my old one with Isaac, letting him know I had no plans to be back before we pulled out of Iowa.
What I didn't do was ask about J.D.'s little confession earlier. He'd all but said he'd finally slept with her. I was proud of him - and a little intimidated by this whole arrangement - but I was glad it had happened. Those two needed to realize they were a whole hell of a lot more than just friends.
Then, on the ride back up, I told him about running into Ty that morning. There wasn't much to say, but I said it all anyways. I figured Ty was going to be a sore spot for a little bit, but J.D. surprised me.
"So he's got his head out of his ass?"
I grunted. "Wouldn't go that far. I think it's more true to say he knows it's up there."
"Well, might have to talk to him tomorrow when she's doing her thing with her rep."
I just nodded. J.D. had this. He'd spent the last few days with Cody, so he knew where her mind was with that mess. And while a part of me wanted to see Ty long gone, the other part of me wanted Cody to be happy. I just wasn't sure which part was winning, because I liked this thing we were doing. I really liked how Cody encouraged things between me and J.D. Hell, I just liked all of this, and dinner with my folks was killing my warm and fuzzy mood, but it had to happen.
I changed in Cody's room. Or was it J.D.'s, since he was paying for it? I wasn't sure, but I was giving it to her, since she was why both of us were here. I had a nice shirt stored for special occasions. It matched well enough with some dark blue jeans. I debated wearing my purple converse, but went with boots instead.
Then she walked out of the bedroom.
Both J.D. and I paused to appreciate the view for a moment. Cody hadn't just prettied up a little. Nope, this woman had turned herself into something that took my breath away. Her hair was loose and straight. The makeup on her face hid the worst of her bruises. Her shirt was sexy, with sleeves that fell off her shoulders and little straps that went over them. It looked feminine in a way she didn't normally. Added to the black jeans and open-toed heels? Yeah, she was fucking gorgeous.
"Wow," I breathed.
"No shit," J.D. agreed.
So Cody did a little turn, showing off the rhinestone pockets which drew the eye right to her amazing ass. I liked it. Hell, a little of my nervousness faded, knowing my parents would have nothing to complain about when they saw her. She was definitely too good for a guy like me, but I'd take it. Ok, right about now, I'd beg for any attention she'd give me, she looked that good.
"Now, try to have fun," J.D. teased as he held up a little black purse. "And spoil our man." That last was to Cody.
"Plan to," she assured him.
Her eyes lingered on his for a moment, like she was thinking about kissing him. She didn't, so I did, grabbing J.D.'s jaw. His short beard crackled under my fingers as I turned his face to mine and stole a fast kiss. Not a peck, though. Nope, I swept my tongue through his mouth, making it clear I was putting my claim on him.
When I leaned back, Cody giggled and then did the same. The difference was the way J.D.'s hand lifted like he wanted to cradle her face. Clearly the man was having a hard case of the feels, and I couldn't blame him at all.
When Cody finally pulled away, I slipped my arm around her waist and we headed out. She was tense against my side initially, right up until we reached the elevator. The moment it closed behind us, she began to relax, even leaning into me a little.
"So," I said, looking down at her, "it finally happened?"
Immediately, her cheeks brightened and her eyes dropped. "We were kinda in bed when you knocked."
"And?" I asked. "How's he on top?"
Those blue eyes of hers jumped up, hit mine, and hung for a second. Then a little giggle slipped out. "Um..."
"I mean, he's one hell of a power bottom," I went on, acting like this was no big deal. "Figured he'd throw you down and not stop until you were screaming either his name or God's."
Her cheeks were getting tighter as her smile grew. "No, it kinda wasn't like that."
"No?"
"It was, um..." She looked away. "Sweeter."
Good for him. I knew that man was head over heels for her, and to hear he'd actually shown it? Yeah, kinda explained why he'd been holding off. There was a real big difference between a fuck and making love, and some guys couldn't open up that much. Sounded to me like J.D. sure had.
"So, good?" I asked. "I mean, you're doing that with him again, right?"
"Is that..." She paused to swallow. "Is it ok?"
"I'm doing him again," I assured her. "So yeah. Thought that was our deal. I do him, I do you, you do us. You know, mix it up."
