I turned sideways in the passenger seat to take in his profile as we drove. We just landed a little while ago and were heading to pick up the other person that was traveling with us. He had been quiet since we got in the car about a half an hour ago.

I leaned into his bicep and placed my hand on his thigh. He grinned and lifted his arm so I could snuggle a little closer. As he came to a stop at a red light, he turned his head to look at me.

"You're sure that you're not still mad at me from the other day? You know I didn't mean any of that crap I said, right?"

"I know, sugar. I said some things I didn't mean either." He kissed the top of my head.

"I really pissed off Ted though, didn't I?" He said laughing. I nodded.

"You did."

"So," he pulled away from the light, "where did you and Ted go when you left the locker room?" I could detect a hint of something in his voice. I pulled back to look at him.

"Why Cody Runnels, I do believe you're jealous." I laughed, thickening my own southern accent. I unhooked my seatbelt and climbed to my knees in my seat.

"I wouldn't say jealous…just wondering." He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. "What are you doing?" I leaned in and kissed his cheek, moving back towards his ear.

"Teddy and I went to catering." I shoved one hand in his hair and started unbuttoning his shirt with the other.

"Uh huh…" He said, trying to keep his focus on the road. I nipped my way down the side of his neck.

"Then he threw me on the table and had his dirty, dirty way with me." Cody slipped his hand under the back of my t-shirt to stroke my skin with his fingertips.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but I want you to take my mind off of it. Right now." I climbed over into his lap. The car swerved violently, horns blared at us.

"Uh, Emery?" I kissed across his collarbone that was now exposed. "Princess?"

"Yes, Cody?"

"I'm trying," he groaned as I rocked my hips over his, "to drive." I flicked my tongue across the smooth skin of his neck following behind it with hot open-mouthed kisses.

"Maybe," I lifted my head, "you should pull over then. Because," I kissed him, causing the car to swerve again, horns went off all around us, "I need you. Now, Cody."

"Pulling over." I kept teasing him. His shirt was now completely open and my hands were free to roam while I kissed the other side of his neck. A minute later, Cody slammed on the breaks and jerked the car into park. The instant the car turned off, his hands were all over me. "I don't think we've ever done it in the car before, Em." I lifted my head.

"Not in the front seat anyway." I smiled wickedly at him. I kissed him as he slipped his hands under my t-shirt, quickly pushing it up and over my head. I stroked down his chest to the button of his jeans. I popped it open, closely followed by the zipper. I nipped his earlobe as I slid my hand into the now open top of his pants. He hissed in his breath as I wrapped a hand tightly around his hard flesh. He dropped his head back on the seat.

"Fuck, princess. You're killing me." I flicked my tongue across the underside of his chin.

"Am I?" I asked, smiling. Just as I was about to release him from his jeans, his phone rang.

"Damn it! Don't stop, princess. I'll get rid of them." I nodded, smiling again as Cody picked up the phone from the center console and answered it on speaker. "Hello?" I stroked him softly as he kissed me.

"Cody, man, where the hell are you guys? If we don't get on the road soon, we're gonna be late." The sound of Ted's voice made us both stop. Nothing like as friend that doesn't know to kill the mood. I sighed deeply and laid my forehead against Cody's shoulder.

"We're on the way Ted. Relax." As quietly as I could, I climbed out Cody's lap and put my shirt back on.

"Relax? Man, we're gonna miss…where's Emery?" Cody assumed his 'character'. The one where he hated me.

"Why? You don't believe me? Don't think I can get there on time without her?"

"Cody, stop being an ass and put Emery on the phone." I smiled at Cody as he faked a huff and handed me the phone.

"I'm here, Teddy." I totally blanked on what he said to me as I watched Cody zip and re-button his pants and then his shirt. He raised an eyebrow at me still looking. He nodded down at the phone.

"Emery?" I shook my head, clearing my very naughty thoughts.

"Sorry. I'm still here Teddy."

"How long before you get here?"

"Umm…" Cody flashed both hands, palms facing me, then just one. "About 15 to 20 minutes Ted, I swear." Ted blew out a breath.

"Alright, I'll be ready. Just honk."

"Okay Teddy." I hung up Cody's phone and put it back where it was before. I sighed and leaned back in the seat. I rolled my head to look at Cody. He was leaned back just like I was.

"I hate Ted right now." He said quietly. He turned the car back on. I leaned back over and kissed him.

"I'll make it up to you." I kissed him again. "Tonight." He smiled against my lips.

"You promise?"

"You know I do." He tucked some hair behind my ear.

"You always make good on your promises, princess." He wrapped a hand around the side of my neck as he deepened the kiss.

"Cody?" I said, taking a breath.

"Hmm?"

"We have to pick up Ted." He nodded.

"Okay, okay. I'm stopping." With one last kiss, I sat back in my seat. He put the car in gear and pulled around the abandoned gas station he had found. He shifted in his seat as we pulled back out onto the main road. I rubbed his bicep.

"What's wrong?" He shifted again.

"Do you know how difficult it's gonna be to drive like this?" He pointed to his lap where the evidence of his arousal was still visible behind the fly of his jeans. I took his hand and linked our fingers.

"I'm sorry, sugar." He lifted my hand and kissed the back of it.

"It's okay, princess. If only Ted had given us a few minutes."

"If only." To distract him, I turned on the radio to the first pop station I could find and started to sing, making him laugh at my goofiness. All too soon, we pulled on to Ted's street. We took our time pulling up to his house, not wanting our 'alone' time to end. He held on to my hand until we parked beside Ted's front walk. Cody squeezed my hand and reluctantly let it go, honking the horn to let Ted know we were there.

"I hate this." I slid over in the seat as far as I could, away from him. He glanced out of his window at Ted's door. Seeing that Ted hadn't come out yet, he pulled me back to him and kissed me quickly.

"I do too, princess. I'm sorry." He went in to kiss me again but pulled back fast when we heard the front door open. I took out my phone and pretended to be ignoring Cody, like normal. I could hear Ted talking to Rebecca, his wife, at the door. He kissed her good-bye and started towards the car. Rebecca looked past Ted to wave to Cody and I. She called out a 'hello' to me. I loved Rebecca. She was one of the sweetest people I knew and also one of the few friends I had outside of the company. I climbed across Cody, who jerked back in this seat like it bothered him, but I knew different. I heard him groan as I touched his thigh to lean out the window. Rebecca and I talked as Ted put his stuff in the trunk of the car. The whole time I talked, Cody's hand was rubbing up and down the back of my thigh where no one could see. I tried to get him to stop by squeezing his leg. He just groaned again.

"Please, princess. You gotta move. I can't take it. Your perfume…Christ, I'm about to lose it." He whispered. I called out my good-bye to Rebecca just as Ted walked up to the window. He laughed.

"Em, stop torturing Code. Let's hit the road." He climbed into the backseat. With one last wave at Rebecca, I got back in my seat and we started to back out of the driveway. I turned and looked back at Ted.

"I was just showing Rhodes how exciting it could be to have a 'real' woman in his lap as apposed to a cyber one." Cody snorted as I turned back around.

"If you were a real woman, it might have been a turn on." I shook my head.

"Whatever. You're just jealous that I have a boyfriend and you just have your 'right-hand man'," I waved my right hand at him, " to keep you company at night." My boyfriend, as far as people knew, lived with me and his name was Garrett. Which just happened to be Cody's middle name. I was pretty much telling everyone, but no one picked up on it or connected the two.

"That's bullshit Harper and you know it. You know damn well I can have any woman I want. And I'll have you know, I date plenty."

"Really?' Ted spoke up from the backseat. "When was the last time you went on a real date? What I've heard you do I don't think could be considered dating." Cody shifted in his seat.

"Shut up, Ted." He growled at him. Now, I was intrigued. I turned back to Ted again.

"What does he do Teddy?" I asked.

"Don't you dare, DiBiase." Cody said again, making Ted laugh at him.

"Why? You embarrassed that you swim in the ringrat pool?"

"Say what?" I asked, laughing along, knowing just how untrue that statement really was.

"Ted!" Cody threatened. He was ignored.

"Supposedly, our boy here picks up some random girl and brings her back to his room. He never bothers to learn her name, so when they go at it, he always calls the girl 'princess' but he always makes sure that she does her best to let everyone around them know his name." I tried to hide my shock at what Ted just told me. Shit! He was talking about me and Cody. Need to cover up shock…must insult…

"Eww, Rhodes. That's just gross. You don't know where those rats have been." I grabbed my bag and tossed it back with Ted. "How tacky is the pet name, 'princess'? Seriously?" I faked a shudder. "That's just…I can't even sit up here with you anymore." I undid my seatbelt, again, and climbed over the seat to sit with Ted.

"It's not gross." Cody said, glancing back at me. "You're just jealous that I'm getting laid and no one wants to touch your ass. Hell, knowing you, you're still a virgin." My mouth dropped open, faking my shock. What Ted didn't know was that until I met Cody, I was a virgin. He was the only one I had ever been with and knowing us, he would be the only one I'd ever be with.

"God, you're such a dick, Rhodes. Why would I be jealous of you sleeping with some diseased whores?"

"So…are you?" Ted asked.

"What?" I turned to look at Ted and then back at Cody. "I'm SO not going to answer that."

"That's a yes." Cody said. Ted laughed and patted my knee.

"If it makes you feel any better Em, if things were different, I'd touch your sexy virgin ass." I saw Cody's hands visibly tighten up on the steering wheel. Okay, mental note: Cody doesn't like the thought of someone else touching me. Good to know.

"Thanks, Teddy." I rolled up the sweatshirt I had brought with me and laid it between my head and the window. I pulled out my phone and sent a text.

'BTW: I LOVE when u call me princess. XO'

I stayed on my phone so Ted wouldn't notice. I saw Cody pick up his phone as it buzzed. He grinned, knowing I could see him. I checked our schedule on my phone one more time. I tucked the phone back in my pocket and made myself drift off to sleep.

I was pulled awake about an hour later by the sound of Ted's voice.

"Jesus, Code. At this rate, we'll make it there by the time the show is over." Cody scoffed.

"Kiss my ass, Ted. We're making good time. And try to be quiet. You'll wake up Emery." Awe, he loves me. I had to fight to keep the smile from spreading across my face.

"Why do you even care? I would think you would want to wake her up, just to piss her off."

"I don't care. I just don't want to hear her mouth. Do you know how much shit I had to hear before we picked you up?" Ted chuckled.

"If you didn't mess with her so much, she wouldn't give you shit." They were quiet for about a half an hour. I tried but I couldn't make myself go back to sleep, so I faked waking up. I glanced at the rearview mirror as I stretched my back. I noticed Cody watching me. I smirked back at him.

"Did you have a nice nap, Em?" Ted asked. I nodded.

"How much longer?" I asked, knowing that would set Ted off.

"With the way he's driving, we'll get there in time for the show next year." I laughed at the irritation in Ted's voice.

"Fuck off, Ted." Cody muttered. We were driving on some four lane road. Two lanes on one side, a huge median and the other two lanes on the other side. When we got passed by a school bus, Ted lost it.

"That's it! Pull over! I can't take it anymore."

"What? No, I've got…"

"Pull over Runnels! I'm driving." Cody pulled over. Ted shoved open his door and slammed it. Before he could open Cody's door, I simply said, 'backseat'. "Get out and get on the passenger side." Cody slid out of the car and walked back and got in beside me. Cue the 'attitude'.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm getting in the car. What the hell does it look like I'm doing?" I hunkered over on my side as Ted got in the driver's seat and merged back on the road. I looked out the window, pretending to ignore Cody. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him take out his phone. A moment later, my phone buzzed.

C - 'Sorry about what I said. heart u.'

Me - 'Its okay. This suck. I just want u 2 hold me.'

C - 'I want to do more than hold u'

Me - 'I'm sure u do'

C - 'U smell so damn good, E. I want u so bad right now!'

Me - 'Ted. Remember, Ted in front seat.'

C - 'Damn it 2 hell. Sorry about this'

Cody groaned loudly and rolled down his window.

"Jesus, Harper. Did you take a damn bath in your perfume this morning? You're killing me."

"What?" I lifted my shirt to my nose, sniffing. "I don't even smell it." Cody stuck his head halfway out the window. "Stop being an ass." I mumbled turning back to my window. Ted just turned on the radio, a sign to both of us to shut up. Needing something to keep me from thinking of crawling into Cody's lap like I did earlier, I took out my book. I read about two pages before I got interrupted.

"Let me see your book." I looked up to see Cody with his hand out to me. I held my book close to my chest.

"Why? It's not like you can read it anyway." I smiled sweetly at him. "There aren't any pictures in here, Rhodes. You won't know what's going on." He frowned.

"Give me the book." He reached out and grabbed it. Of course, I jerked it back.

"No. Lay off." We had a moment of a tug-of-war before Cody muscled the book out of my hands. He yanked it back, but unfortunately for me, the cover proved to be too slick to grip and the book flew out of his hand…and out the still open window.

"Cody! God damn it! That was my book!" I punched him in the upper arm. Ted must have seen everything that happened. He pulled over. I hit Cody again. "Damn it, Cody! I just bought that!"

"Em, I'm sorry. It just slipped out of my hand. I'm so sorry, prin…Emery." Oops! Almost a slip there on Cody's part. Ted turned in his seat just as I hit Cody's arm again.

"I'll go get it Em." He glared at Cody as he got out and walked back to where my book should be. Cody watched Ted cleared the back of the car, he turned to me.

"I really am sorry, princess." He cupped my cheek and pulled me in for a kiss. "It just slipped out of my hand."

"I know it did. I'm still pissed though." I kissed him back and glanced over the backseat to see Ted walking back. I kissed him again. "You need to be more careful. You almost called me, princess." He nodded. "Plus, you're gonna have to make it up to me for the book." I moved back over to my side with my arms folded over my chest, acting pissed. He chuckled at me.

"You know I will. When we get back to the hotel tonight, I'll make it up to you, over and over."

"I hope so." I whispered to him as Ted slid back into the car. "So, Teddy, did you find it?" He looked over his shoulder at me.

"Oh, I found it."

"Well?" He sighed.

"When it hit the road, it rolled…a lot. And when it rolled, it tore it all apart. Your book is all over the median, Em. Sorry."

"Damn it." I looked back out the window. This time Cody sighed like he was being forced to say something.

"Look Harper, I'll buy you a new book." I shook my head.

"Kiss my ass Rhodes." I said, still looking out the window. "I don't want anything from you. Just…don't talk to me."

"Fine!" Cody looked out his window. Ted shook his head and turned the radio back on. The next few hours till we got to the arena, were quiet. I sent Cody one text telling him that he owed me a new book and other things and I wanted those first. He just sent me a smiley face.

When we got to the arena we met Fallon and Randy in the locker room. I kept up our cover of me being pissed at Cody. We sat on opposite sides of the room. It turned out that Fallon had just finished the same book I just lost, so she gave me her copy. Randy laughed as I told him exactly how the book went right out of the window. I stood up and walked over to Cody, who was ignoring me, playing a game on his phone, like normal.

"He just yanked it," I pulled the phone out of his hands. His head popped up.

"What the hell, Harper?" He reached out to take it back, but I backed out of his reach. "Give it back to me." I shook my head and pretended to push buttons on it. I actually just paused his game.

"Nope." I backed towards the hallway. "I think I'll just toss your damn phone out in the parking lot."

"Hell no, Harper! Give me the damn phone!" He stood up. I shook my head.

"Nope." He took a step towards me and I turned, hauling ass down the hall, heading for the doors leading outside. I knew I'd never make it. Thankfully, no one was on our hall at the moment. I heard his footsteps behind me an instant before his arm wrapped around my waist. He lifted me up so that my feet weren't touching the ground and walked backwards a bit. I giggled quietly as I pretended to struggle. Suddenly, I was let go, spun around and pushed against a concrete wall in a dark room. Cody's mouth was on mine seconds later.

"Mmm…where are we?" I asked when he started to kiss down the side of my neck.

"Storage closet." He pulled back enough to flick on the overhead light. He surprised me by lifting me up so that I could wrap my legs around his waist. He dipped his head, going back to my neck. "I want to take you right here, right now, princess." I could feel the evidence of that rubbing tightly against me. I buried a hand in his hair.

"Yes, Cody. Here. Now." He groaned in my ear as I rocked myself against him.

"But we can't." I lifted his head.

"What? Why?" He smiled.

"For one, I don't have anything on me and two, the noises I want you to make are totally gonna give us away." I sighed in defeat.

"Later then?" I asked. He smirked and kissed me deeply.

"Oh yes, later. I promise."

Surprise! I know a lot of you thought that she was with Ted. You can't imagine my happiness when you all fell for it. :)

I would really appreciate if you keep the reviews coming. Please take a couple of seconds and let me know how I'm doing. Just a tip, the more reviews I get the quicker I'll post the next chapter. Thanks! =^.^=
