Cody couldn’t sleep. He had gone up to his room after midnight, but it was almost two now and he couldn’t stop checking every noise he heard outside, wondering when Dax and the guys would be back. He wasn’t going to be able to lie down and close his eyes until he counted the bikes that rolled in and the guys that stepped out of the van. He didn’t know how Angel did it. She had to be a mess worrying about Dax every time he rolled out. Maybe it helped that she came from a cop family. She was probably used to worrying about the people she loved.

He made himself get away from the window and lie down on the bed. He closed his eyes just as there was a light tap on his door. “Cody? You up?” He smiled when he heard Harley’s voice. He had been tempted to text her earlier after Kyle finally left, but he didn’t know what she was dealing with and he didn’t want to make things worse for her. He pulled open the door and she grabbed him around the waist and almost knocked him back as she hugged him.

“Hey, good to see you too, beautiful. What’s up?”

She lifted her head and looked at him. “I was just with Angel. She said Kyle was here last night. I’m sorry!”

“It’s okay. Nobody got hurt and Dax set him straight.”

“Angel said the guys in the great room wanted to kick his ass but you kept them from doing that. Why?”

He laughed and led her over to the bed where they both sat down. “Did you want him to get his ass kicked?”

“No, of course not. I’m just impressed…or proud, I guess…that you didn’t throw any punches. I know how Kyle can get when he’s pissed, and last night he was really pissed.”

“Did you tell him about us?”

“No. I didn’t, Cody, honest. He followed me. I don’t know how much he saw, but as soon as I left the ranch he pulled me over. He was livid. We got in an argument and I went home to my parents’ house. I thought he went home too. I didn’t know he was coming here to confront you or I would have warned you. I’m so sorry.”

“It really wasn’t a big deal. He was pissed, understandably. Hopefully he heard Dax when he told him he wasn’t having any of it in his house.”

“I’m proud of you for not getting in a fight with him.” She hugged him again. Cody grinned and said:

“I’m maturing.”

He felt her body shake as she laughed against him. After a few seconds, she looked up at him and said, “Don’t get too mature, okay? I kind of like the big kid in you.”

“I’ll try and find a happy medium,” he said with a laugh. He lowered his mouth down to her and kissed her. The kiss was just getting hot when Cody heard the sound of the shop door rolling open. He startled Harley by getting up suddenly and running to the window. It was the van—they were back! “I’m sorry, baby. I have to go out to the shop.” He was pulling his jeans on as he talked. "The guys are back—some of them, anyways.”

“They’re okay, Cody, all of them.”

He stopped what he was doing. “How do you know?”

“I was with Angel when Dax texted her that they were on their way back. He told her everyone was okay. I don’t know any more than that, but she was awfully relieved.”

Cody let out a breath he hadn’t known he was holding and sat back down on the bed. “I’ll bet she was,” he said.

“Looks like you are too. I’m glad it all went well.”

“Me too. I guess I won’t run out there, since I know they’re okay. They’re likely to make me wash the van or some shit at two a.m.”

She laughed. “How long does the prospect thing usually last?”

He shrugged. “Depends on the prospect, and Dax. Most of them go about a year if they last. Sometimes Dax gets rid of them after a few months, or they decide this isn’t for them and they leave.”

“So a year of cleaning up after them and serving their beer and whatever else they want? Are you up for that?”

He nodded. “As long as I keep the big picture in mind, I’ll be okay. I can’t wait to get that patch, but I’ve figured out I am going to have to earn it like everyone else.”

Harley snuggled back into his side and said, “I’m proud of you and your newfound maturity. Maybe you can use it like I’ve learned to use mine, only in public.”

He laughed. “So in private we can act like horny teenagers?”

She looked up at him with those innocent-looking green eyes that weren’t really innocent at all and said, “Yes, please.”

Cody had an idea, something he’d seen in a video that he wanted to try. He loved that he didn’t have to worry about Harley thinking his fantasies were strange. He’d left her on the bed and told her to get undressed while he went into the bathroom. She was naked and lying in the center of it when he came back. He stopped at the dresser and pulled out two belts and two bandanas. She raised a pretty eyebrow, but didn’t say a word when he came over to the bed carrying them. He took one of her arms and stretched it up to the headboard. Using one of the long bandanas, he wrapped it around her slim wrist and tied it to the bed in a heavy knot. Then he moved down to her foot on that side and did the same with the belt around her ankle. She still didn’t say a word. She watched him in fascination as he moved from one side to the other and restrained her limbs. She could move them slightly, but she’d have to struggle hard if she wanted to escape. She didn’t look like she did.

Cody left her there again and went over to pull the blackout curtains all the way shut, before turning off all the lights and immersing the room in darkness. Then he sat down in the chair near the foot of the bed and waited…or made her wait, to be more accurate. For a while she lay there without moving. He couldn’t really see her, but he could hear her easy, even breathing. After a while he heard her begin to stir. She pulled slightly at the belts that held her ankles tightly to the footboard. Another five minutes or so passed before she called out to him softly:

“Cody? Are you still here?” He smiled but he didn’t say anything. He made her wait another five minutes. That time when she said his name it was with a desperation in her voice. “Cody? I’m a patient woman, but you’re trying it right now.”

He got up quietly and went over next to the bed. He slid open the bedside table and pulled out the blackout blindfold that someone who used this room before had left. He could make out her eyes shining up at him as he slipped the blindfold over her head and pulled it down over her eyes. Then he walked over and turned on the light. He wanted to see what he was doing to her. He went back over and sat down on the bed. Reaching his hand across her he took hold of one of her nipples and tweaked it.

“Mm…” she moaned and flexed her hips. Cody leaned down and put his mouth over the other nipple and began to flick it with his tongue and nip at it with his teeth. She was whimpering and moaning loudly. He looked up to make sure her restraints were holding as she began pulling at them. She wanted to touch him. She liked to hold his mouth to her chest. He smiled and moved over to the other breast, torturing that nipple in the same way. She was doing her best to bring her hips up off the bed. She wanted him to touch her pussy, but he was going to make her wait. Instead he brought his mouth up to her and kissed her. She kissed him back, hungrily, sucking at his lips as he bit softly at hers. He let his mouth run down her chin to her neck and began to bite and suck on the tender flesh there, causing her to moan louder. He waited until she was so worked up that she was begging him to touch her pussy before he gave in and let his hand drift down her stomach and dip in between her legs. She was soaking wet and he kissed her again while he played in her moist, soft tunnel. He dipped his fingers in and out and ran them up and down her slit, teasing her clit with every stroke. She was going wild, moaning and making hot, sexy noises that he was capturing with his mouth.

He pressed his palm into her clit after a while and while applying pressure he began moving it in tight circles. She was going wild now, straining against the restraints holding her down. “Fuck, Cody! Fuck! I can’t stand it! Fuck!” He didn’t say a word still. He kept pressing on her engorged clit and moving his hand just enough to stimulate it. He could tell when she was getting ready to come, not just by the loud noises she was making, but by the way her body began to tense up in places and shake in others. Just before she finished, he pulled his hand away. “Fuck!” she yelled out, but that was before she felt him replace it with his mouth. “Oh, God! Yes! Jesus, Cody! Fuck!”

He started licking and sucking at her wet pussy, letting his tongue probe up inside of her and then slide down to the top of her ass and back up to where the slightest lick of her clit sent her into almost convulsive shakes. The orgasm was approaching again, rapidly, and this time when she was on the edge, Cody sucked her clit in between his teeth and held it there, flicking and torturing it with his tongue while her body tightened and twisted and she used words that Cody had never even heard before. He slowly released the pressure he was holding her clit with and then gently rubbed her pussy until the orgasm passed and she was lying in a sweaty heap, gasping and panting. She looked so hot that Cody thought he could almost come just seeing her tied up and satisfied like that. That thought only lasted a few second though until she started moving her hips again and whispering, “Fuck me now, Cody…please.”

He climbed up over her, but he didn’t put his cock in her pussy. Instead he wiped the pussy juice he had on his fingers across her lips and then he licked it off. Then he sucked on her breasts some more, making her whimper and plead louder, and then he moved up so that he was straddling her neck and he pressed the tip of his cock to her lips. She opened her mouth and took it in hungrily. Cody watched her suck him in as far as she could and then let him pull back while she licked him all over with her wet tongue. He moved his hips in and out while she sucked on his cock, fucking her mouth slowly. He closed his eyes, leaned his head back, and reached down and took her nipples between his fingers. His thrusts became faster and harder and he could feel himself hitting the back of her throat as he pulled, pinched, and twisted her nipples. She was gasping for breath, but not trying to pull away as he repeatedly thrust his thick cock in her mouth. He was so close…right on the verge…when he finally pulled back. She whimpered again when he took it away.

Cody stood up, which seemed to surprise her. She expected him to fuck her, but he wasn’t ready to do that just yet. Instead he walked up to the head of the bed and untied her right hand. Then he took it and placed it around his cock and covered it with his own. He started moving her hand up and down the shaft of his cock, watching as they stroked him together. After a few seconds, he took his hand away and let her go at it herself. She was good at it…so fucking good. She knew just how hard to squeeze and how hard to stroke, and every so often she’d let go of the shaft and let her hand run down between his legs and caress his balls. He reached down and grabbed the back of her head by her hair and pulled her mouth over the side of the bed. He had to spread his legs wider so that he could get his sac up where he wanted it. Then he wrapped his fingers up tightly in her hair and pushed her face into it. Harley didn’t complain and she didn’t hesitate. She got busy licking and sucking while all the time hanging onto his cock with that one hand and slowly stroking her palm up and down the shaft.

Cody let that go on for a while before he had to stop her again. He took her free hand and pulled it down so that her fingers were touching her swollen clit. She moaned and without any more prompting than that, she began to masturbate herself while he watched. She rubbed her clit hard and then let her fingers drift down between her legs and dip into the pool of wetness there before coming back up and finding that clit again. “Are you watching me, Cody? You like to watch me? Watch me, baby,” she said in a strained voice. “Watch me come again for you.” He was breathing heavy and touching himself lightly while he watched her. She looked so sexy and she was completely into it then, pressing hard into her clit as she rubbed it and holding her ass up off the bed. She began to pant and rub faster just before she exploded into her second or third orgasm of the night. That was when Cody had as much as he could take. He climbed up on top and straddled her again, shoving his cock into her soaked pussy with no warning. She gasped and Cody held onto her hips and fucked her, once again like an animal in heat. She used her free hand to touch his chest and run her palms across his nipples. He loved the stimulation, and it was only minutes before he grabbed her hips so hard that she thought he might leave finger marks and pulled her up so he could bury himself inside of her while he came.

When he was finished, he collapsed on top of her and tried to catch his breath before he realized that she could probably hardly breathe. He rolled off her and lay next to her until the breathing of both of them returned to normal. When he could move again, he got up and undid the restraints. He reached up and took off the blindfold then, and it looked like it took her several seconds to get her eyesight back to normal. She looked at his face and said, “That was the most incredible fuck in history.”

He grinned and lay back down next to her. She laid her head in the crook of her arm and he pulled her in so their bodies were stuck together. “I agree,” he said, kissing her on top of the head.

“We should do it again,” she said. He laughed out loud. This woman was going to kill him.

“Sure, baby…in the morning.”
