CODY: Southside Skulls Motorcycle Club (Southside Skulls MC Romance Book 2)

by Jessie Cooke

  “Thanks, Angel.” Harley stayed where she was and they both watched Angel go inside. Once she was gone Harley said:

  “Finish up by six and tell Angel you’re going home to shower before dinner.”

  “Okay…why?”

  “I’ll meet you back out here at six, and then you’ll see.”

  “I’m filthy and…”

  “Disgusting,” she said with a grin. “I can see that. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go down on you until it’s all clean.” She winked at him. “I should get inside before we make her suspicious. I’ll meet you back out here at six.”

  Cody watched as Angel left the house around five forty-five. Not long after that, Harley emerged. She had changed out of her school clothes and into a pair of cutoff jeans and a tank top. Her skin looked like she’d already spent a lot of time in the sun; it was a light bronze color that Cody thought looked even sexier next to the color of her hair. Her long, tan legs were what he was most interested in however, as she strolled toward him. He just kept looking at her, thinking about the little girl he knew back when he was eleven, and asking himself, who knew?

  “Hey, you ready?” she asked. He had just finished locking up the shed. He’d made a pile of things to go up to the shop, but he’d have to bring down the van to pick them up. One look at Harley in her shorts and he told himself that it could wait until morning.

  “I’m ready…I guess. Where are we going?”

  “Trust me?”

  Cody laughed. “Hell, no.”

  Harley pretended to pout and then laughed herself. “I guess I wouldn’t like you if you were that stupid. Come on, you’re going to give me that ride on the back of your bike. I’ll tell you where to go.”

  “Where’s Angel?”

  “She went into town to meet Dax for dinner. They won’t be back for a while. I’m spending the night because she and I have to sit in on a hearing in court for school in the morning and I’m riding in with her.”

  As they walked toward his bike Cody asked, “Where’s your boyfriend?”

  She stopped and looked up at him. “He’s at work. Does it bother you, that I have a boyfriend? I would have thought…I mean the way you all do things around here, I wouldn’t have thought you’d mind.”

  “I don’t know. I’m not used to the way things are around here, because I was a kid the last time I was here and had a girlfriend. Mostly, I guess I just can’t help but worry what Detective Brady might do if he finds out.”

  “He thinks you killed that man, the biker from Mayhem.” The mischief dancing in her green eyes had changed to concern and a frown line appeared between her eyes.

  Cody looked Harley in the eye and without even a flicker of guilt, he lied. “I didn’t.”

  “Good.”

  “You believe me, just like that.” He still wasn’t feeling guilty, but he did find it curious that the daughter of the district attorney would be so trusting, especially since she knew him and his history.

  “I trust you.”

  Cody laughed. “What was it you said about being stupid?”

  She laughed. “I’m not stupid. I’m lying, just like you did. I don’t trust you, Cody Miller and for some reason that turns me on. Weird?”

  He smiled. “Yeah, but I feel you.”

  “Good, now shut up about all that.”

  “You brought it up.”

  “Did not. You asked about Kyle. I don’t want to talk about Kyle. I want to have fun. Kyle’s a good man, but fun is not something he has easily. I have fun with you, Cody. I don’t see anything wrong with that, do you?”

  “Nope. I like to have fun.” He dusted himself off as well as he could and wiped the dust and sweat off with his t-shirt. He handed the helmet to Harley before getting on the bike, and she put it on. Once Cody was settled in the seat, Harley climbed on behind him. He’d always imagined that Macy would be the first girl he ever took for a ride, but as Harley snuggled into his back he decided that this was just as good. “Where am I going?”

  “The watering hole, out in the back forty. It’s still there, right?”

  Cody smiled. “Yeah, it’s still there.” It was the place Harley had gotten caught skinny-dipping at midnight after she ate some of the club girls’ brownies. The girls had done their best to sober her up, get her dressed, and return her home before her father noticed her missing. That time she got away with it. As a matter of fact, she got away with it a lot until the one night Cody tried to sneak her home. He decided it must be him. He was the bad luck.

  It was hard to feel anything but lucky, though, as he rode the bike down a long stretch of dirt road toward a cool, shady patch of trees. Harley’s arms were around him, and her hands landed just above the waist of his jeans. His skin tingled where she touched him and his cock was already doing a happy dance in his pants.

  Cody had to take a narrow path between the thick trees once they got there, in order to get to what they called “the watering hole.” It was a run-off from the mountains and when they got a lot of snow, the hole would fill up to over ten feet deep. That year had been average, so the water level wasn’t high, but the fact that it had barely any current running through it during the summer months meant that the water was warm, like bathwater. Cody realized as soon as they got off the bike that a bath was what Harley intended. She pulled a bar of soap from the backpack she was wearing and said, “Go clean up.”

  He took the soap and, shaking his head at her, stripped off his clothes. Harley smacked him on his naked ass as he made his way past her and down to the water. “Are you coming in too?”

  She plopped down in the sand and kicked off her shoes. “I think I’ll just watch for a minute. It’s kind of hot.”

  Cody laughed and when he was about knee deep in the water, he bent down and got the soap wet. He lathered it between his hands and started washing his chest. Harley was right—it was kind of hot, soaping himself up as she watched. And…as if that weren’t hot enough, she was commenting along the way:

  “Yeah baby, slow circles. That’s the way I like it.” Cody didn’t know whether to laugh or be turned on, so he did both. His cock was hard, and after he washed the rest of his body, he took it between his soapy hands and began to wash/stroke it. “Oh yes, that’s what I wanted to see,” Harley said this time in a more seductive voice. “That’s so hot baby, stroke that cock for me.” As she talked, she slid her hand down in her shorts. Cody couldn’t see what she was doing, but he could tell by the look on her face that she was enjoying it. “Stroke it, Cody…faster…you’re so hot,” He could see her hand moving under the denim crotch of her shorts and he moved his faster and stroked harder. She was moaning and she closed her eyes and arched her back. He was groaning as he pumped his fist up and down his shaft, and he almost just let his orgasm fly…but he wanted her pussy too badly. He wanted to be inside of her. He wanted to come inside of her.

  He walked up out of the water and toward where she was lying in the sand. When she felt the water dripping off him onto her she opened her eyes and looked up. “You’re blocking the sun,” she said. “Damn, you’re hot.” He loved it when she told him that. Something about the way she said it was so sexy and seductive.

  “You’re hot, but you’d be even hotter without all of those clothes.” He leaned down and pulled her up to her feet like she weighed nothing. When she was standing in front of him he pulled off the tank top she was wearing, exposing a hot little strapless, lacy white bikini top underneath. “Mm, I like that.”

  “Do you?” He nodded and ran his fingers along the top of it where her breasts looked like they were trying to escape. “You should see the bottoms.”

  Cody leaned down and kissed her lips while he unbuttoned her shorts. Once he had them unzipped, he let them fall to the ground. She was right, he loved the bottoms. It had a little lace triangle in front and when he let his hands reach around behind her, he discovered the back was a thong. He had a handful of her ass and he squeezed. “Very nice,” he
said. “So nice in fact that it should be used for what it was intended for.” He had grabbed her up in his arms before she could even react.

  “No, Cody! What are you doing? I don’t want to get…” All he heard after that was a splash as she hit the water. When she surfaced, she was spitting and sputtering. “You asshole, that’s it—this is on!”

  Cody laughed, but when she started to come after him, he ran. She caught up to him and jumped up on his back. He grabbed onto her smooth legs and carried her as she pretended to pummel him with her little fists. When he got close to the water she squealed again. “No, please!”

  “You used to love to swim—naked, if I recall.”

  “Oh, don’t remind me,” she said. She sounded embarrassed. Cody had no idea that anything could embarrass her.

  “Why don’t you like to swim anymore?” He sat her down on her feet and she said:

  “There was a jellyfish incident…”

  “Really?”

  She nodded sadly. “My family and I were at the beach and I was only waist deep in the water when suddenly I felt the worst pain that I’d ever experienced.”

  “Wow, that sucks.”

  She nodded again. “It did. I almost lost my leg because of it.” Cody looked down at her legs and thought what a shame it would be to lose either one. They were long and shapely and tan…damn, those legs turned him on. What he didn’t realize was that as he was lusting over her legs, she was planning on catching him off-guard. They were on the edge of the watering hole and all it took was one big push to send him tumbling down into the water. When his head came up he was treated to the sight of Harley ripping that little bikini right off, and then she jumped in with him.

  “I thought you were afraid of the water because of the jellyfish thing…”

  “I made that up,” she said with a grin.

  “You’re crazy.”

  “I know. It’s part of the reason you shouldn’t trust me. You never know what a crazy person will do. Now kiss me, Cody. Enough talking already.”

  Cody kissed her, and she kissed him back. He loved kissing her. She was always so passionate. It was like she was trying to taste every corner of his mouth. As they kissed he walked her backwards until her back was against the muddy wall of the watering hole. He held her there, kissing and nipping at her lips while he let his hands roam her wet, shapely body.

  The sun beat down on them, but the water on their skin kept them cool…at least on the outside. Cody felt like he was burning up from the inside out. He bent down and sucked one of her ruby red nipples into his mouth. She leaned her head back into the mud and moaned as he swirled his tongue around it while he held it tightly between his lips. Her hands were roaming his body as quickly as his were hers. He moved his head over and sucked and nipped at her other breast until she pushed him back suddenly and dropped to her knees in the water. She moved quickly, and the head of his cock was in between her wet lips before he knew what was happening. She licked and sucked at it and he moaned and fisted her hair up in his hands. Then just as suddenly as she’d sucked in the head, she engulfed the shaft. He was all the way in her mouth, and the tip of his cock was touching the back of her throat as she ran her tongue along the shaft and made soft, sexy noises that came from deep in her chest.

  “Fuck, baby…that’s so good.” His words only encouraged her and she sucked harder. He used his hold on her hair to pull her head up and down and push and pull himself in and out of her mouth. Watching her was almost as good as the way she was making him feel. She was so hot. Sometimes he wondered just how much experience she had. She was so fucking good at what she did and she seemed to have no reservations about any of it—not that he minded, he was just curious.

  Cody was close to orgasm when he pulled her up off him. He kissed her again on the lips and then he lifted her up and sat her ass on the edge of the little muddy rise. He pushed her legs open and dove into her sweet, soaking-wet pussy. He flicked at her clit and made her squirm around in the mud. He let his tongue play around between her swollen lips and then shoved it up inside of her. She wiggled, pressing herself into his face harder as he grabbed the cheeks of her ass and pushed in tighter. She tasted so good and he loved the way she smelled when she was turned on. He licked and sucked and bit at her clit until she screamed out in a wild orgasm and then almost at once slid her body down his until his cock was between her legs and pressed up into her pussy. She closed her thighs tightly and while she kissed him again she rocked back and forth and teased him. Cody took it as long as he could. It felt good, but he was going to explode. He finally used his hold on her waist to twirl her around and push her body into the muddy embankment. He reached down and put his cock inside of her and then he grabbed her waist again and fucked her like his life depended on it. He realized that he really loved doing it in a place that she wasn’t worried someone would hear. She was screaming in ecstasy and that only served to fuel his lust. They went hard and fast and then he would slow down, making himself savor how good she felt, and he’d rock into her slowly for a while. Sometimes she’d be the one to pick up the pace and other times it would be him. She came at least three times before Cody clutched onto her waist again, digging his fingers into her skin, and began to thrust into her like a wild animal until his balls tightened and his cock swelled and he exploded from the inside out. Even as he rocked into her, emptying out everything liquid inside of him, he found himself looking forward to the next time. Harley was becoming like a drug to him. The more he had of her, the more he wanted, and a little taste was no longer enough to satiate.

  A light squeak like that of a hand brake, a rustle of leaves or branches, and a gasp was their warning that their idyllic little spot was being intruded on by the outside world. Cody looked up and saw her first. Macy was on her bicycle, riding along the path that led through the trees and opened up near the far side of the watering hole. She must have frozen when she saw them, but as soon as she realized Cody saw her, she turned the bike around and started pedaling.

  “Macy!” he called out to her. He wasn’t sure why. What was he going to say? Honestly, what did he have to say? Macy was the one that pushed him away, so surely she didn’t expect him to be celibate.

  “Girlfriend?” Harley asked.

  “Ex,” he said.

  Harley sighed. “Is she going to say anything to anyone?”

  “No. She won’t say anything.”

  “Good,” Harley said, splashing the mud off her skin. “Let’s do it under the water this time.”

  Cody laughed incredulously. “You want to do it again?” He glanced over toward where he’d seen Macy and back at Harley. She rolled her eyes and said:

  “Unless you’d rather go after your ex.”

  Cody didn’t use words to show her what he’d rather do. He used his hands and then his mouth and finally his cock once it was hard again. He’d worry about Macy later. Right then, the sensations that Harley was causing to race through his body were consuming his every thought.

  Cody still had to serve beer and clean up the great room when everyone else finally decided to turn in or pair off or whatever the fuck they planned on doing. He had the broom in his hand and he was about to put some music on the jukebox when he heard it—the distinctive “pop-pop” of rapid gunfire.

  “Fuck!” He ran toward the back and threw up the floor rug before grabbing the ring and pulling hard on the heavy wooden door. It opened on a staircase, and he was jogging down it when he heard:

  “Cody, grab a few and throw them up!” It was Handsome’s voice. Cody had seen him take one of the newer girls in the back room earlier. Nolan had been with him. Cody had never shared a woman but he couldn’t say the idea of it completely turned him off. At the moment, however, all that was on his mind was what the fuck was going on now?

  He put the combination into the gun safe and pulled it open. He heard the footsteps behind him and turned to hand the first automatic rifle he pulled out to Pablo, who handed it to N
olan, and Nolan handed it on up to Handsome. They did that, two at a time, until all the automatic rifles were gone. Cody grabbed a handgun, made sure it was loaded, and stuffed it in his jeans. “Give me one,” Pablo said. Cody grabbed two more, handing one to him and the other to Nolan as the three men made their way up the stairs. Handsome had his phone in one hand and the big rifle in the other. “Did you call Dax? Fuck. Okay. Stay put and if they come back your way, stay low.” He put the phone down and Nolan said:

  “What?”

  “Rocky is up at the gate. He says two big, black SUVs stormed the gates. While one drove through, the other shot up the gatehouse before he could even get to his gun. The windows are tinted and he couldn’t see anything other than an arm dressed in black out the window. He called Dax but it went straight to voicemail.”

  “He’s in town with Angel. Did they try her phone?”

  Handsome tossed his to Cody and said, “You call her. I need to get out front and see where these fuckers went.” As Cody pressed in Angel’s number the guys split up with Handsome going to the front door and Nolan and Pablo to the back. Cody left a message for Angel to have Dax call any one of them ASAP and then he went to join Handsome at the front. As he passed the kitchen he saw Tank. He hadn’t known the old man was still at the clubhouse. Tank had a rifle in his hand and he was standing about five feet from the back door, ready to shoot anyone that walked through it.

  Handsome was looking out through a crack in the door. It seemed quiet outside to Cody…too quiet. “I think they’re headed up to Dax and Angel’s place. They’re fucking bold—they’re looking to do battle. I’m glad the prez and his lady are out.”

  “Oh, fuck! Fuck!” Cody was pushing his way out the door.

  “Whoa, prospect! What the fuck?” Handsome asked him.

  “Angel and Dax aren’t there but Harley is!”

  “What? Who?”

  “Fuck, Handsome, please just let me go! She’s at Dax and Angel’s house all alone! She’s Angel’s friend, her name is Hannah.”
