I stretched and glanced at the clock on the nightstand. We still had two hours before Cody and I had to be at the airport. I smiled when I heard Cody sigh in his sleep behind me. I felt the bed shift as he rolled to his back. I rolled over to look at him.
He was still out. One of his arms was under my pillow and his other hand was laying on his abdomen. He looked so peaceful. I felt a wicked smile come across my face. I knew the perfect way to wake him up.
I slipped my knee over his hips and sat up across him. I lifted his hand off his chest and laid it on my thigh. I leaned in and started kissing his neck. He made a noise as he moved his face towards mine. I cupped both of his cheeks and held him in place as I kissed him softly.
"Wake up, Cody. I have an idea of what we can do to kill a little bit of time." I said, in between kisses.
"Mmm." I knew he was waking up. Not only did he start to kiss me back but his hands started to move. "What would that be princess?" I smiled against his lips.
"Let me show you what I was thinking." I started to kiss down his neck. I worked my way past his collarbone and made my way down the center of his chest. The farther down my kisses went, the higher my hands crawled. I moved the sheet down with my own hips, revealing both our naked bodies. I could feel his excitement pressing against my chest. I stopped right above his belly button, just to drive him crazy.
"Emery…" he moaned my name, shoving his hands deep into my hair. I decided I had teased him enough. I went to move on when we heard the knock on the door. "Ignore it, princess." I hesitated when the knock sounded again.
"Yo, Code! Man, open up." Ted's voice came through the door. Cody and I went into panic mode. I had stayed last night because everyone was flying home today. I had made our flight later so we could go together and be alone. I knew most of the guys were anxious to get home and took early as possible flights. Ted should have been on his way to the airport.
I gathered my clothes out of the floor, making sure to get my shoes and followed Cody to the door. He had thrown on a pair of jeans and nothing else. He stopped and turned to me.
"Hide in the bathroom and I'll get rid of him." He kissed me. "Don't get dressed." He smiled at me as I shut the door. I heard a bit of Ted and Cody's exchange through the closed door. Ted just needed to know when/where we were meeting up in two days. Cody told him and sent him on his way. I heard the door shut and him lock it. He walked into the bathroom and flicked on the light. He smiled at me still standing in the middle of the bathroom, holding my clothes against my chest.
"That was so close Cody. We almost got caught." He reached out and took my clothes from me, tossing them in the floor.
"I know, princess. We'll just have to be more careful next time." He stripped off his jeans and walked to the shower. He turned the water on and held his hand under the spray, feeling for the correct temperature. I walked over, wrapped my arms around his waist, pressed myself against him and laid my cheek on the warm skin of his back.
"I wish everything could be normal with us. I wish it could be like it is with Fallon and Randy. They can walk down the street holding hands and not worry if the wrong person is gonna see them." Cody rubbed my hand.
"You could always become a diva, like Fallon." He grabbed both of my wrists and stepped into the shower, pulling me with him. He pulled me around so that I was standing in front of him, facing him, under the spray. "I can see it now, you all hot in the Diva's magazine. All the other Divas being jealous and every single guy wanting some of your sexy body…on second thought…bad idea. I don't think I like the thought of other guys looking at you like that. I want you all for myself." I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You're mighty possessive, Mr. Runnels." I said, running my hands down his wet chest.
"Only over what's mine."
"I'm yours?" He just nodded. "Maybe," I pulled him in for a kiss, "I might just need you to prove it." His hand skimmed down my back.
"With pleasure."
Two days later, we met back up with Ted and headed on the non-stop promotion that happened the days leading up to a pay-per-view. We had two house shows and then numerous radio shows, local interviews and appearances to get through. There was nothing more tiring for the boys than answering the same 5 questions over and over again. But I knew for a fact that they both loved the appearances. Any chance to interact with the fans, even though they were heels is what they lived for.
Finally, the night of the pay-per-view came. The entire arena was pumped. Not only was the pay-per-view gonna be a hit, Mr. McMahon had, since the company was having a stellar quarter, rented out a ballroom in one of the near by hotels. We were having a post pay-per-view party. Open bar, DJ, food, the works. Best part, it wasn't only for the Superstars/Divas, it was for all of us. But first we had to get through the night.
Now, everyone was sitting in a big conference room in the arena. Mr. McMahon had a meeting like this before EVERY pay-per-view. No one was exempt from these meetings. Everyone from the lighting and sound guys down to the people working the merch stands in the lobby was required to be there.
I was sitting in the back with a couple of the divas and Fallon. We were talking and killing time till the meeting started. Across the room, near the front, I could see Cody sitting with Ted, Randy and John Cena. They were talking the same as we were. I was laughing at something Melina was telling us when my phone buzzed in my pocket. Of course it was Cody.
C – 'Last night was amazing. I heart when u play naughty princess.'
Me – 'Every night is amazing. You liked naughty princess, huh?' I saw him grin as he opened the message. I typed another message as Mr. McMahon walked in and got our attention.
Me – 'Well ur naughty princess isn't wearing any underwear.' Just as the meeting was called to order and everyone got quiet, he opened the message. He inhaled sharply and started to cough as he choked. Mr. McMahon shot him a glare.
"Mr. Rhodes, is there something you want to share with everyone?" Cody shook his head as his ears turned pink.
"No. Sorry, Vince." Mr. McMahon nodded and continued. Randy elbowed Cody in the side. He just waved him off. I smiled to myself. I was so gonna pay for this later.
The pay-per-view went off smoothly. Cody and Ted won their match and Randy, with Fallon at ringside, won the championship. Yes, with a little help from Cody and Ted.
We decided to get ready for the party at the arena. Fallon and I used the bathroom while Randy, Ted and Cody got dressed in the locker room. Fallon, as always, looked killer in her little black mini-skirt and flowing royal purple, off one shoulder top. I wouldn't be surprised if she and Randy left the party early. Luckily, for the 5 of us, we were all booked in the same hotel as the party. We wouldn't have to go too far this evening.
I knew I would never get as much attention as Fallon. (Let's be honest, Cody was the only one that thought I was attractive.) So, I decided to wear all black tonight. I had skin tight jeans and a scoop neck, off both shoulders, top. I thought I looked really nice. And, like always, when I walked out of the bathroom, Ted whistled.
"Damn, Emery. You look good." I smiled at him and did a little turn. "Nice. Code," he nudged Cody in the side, "doesn't Em look hot?" Cody glanced up from whatever he was reading in his lap. He looked back down only to instantly look at me again. He shrugged.
"I guess she looks okay." Randy laughed.
"Damn Rhodes. You need to get your head out of your ass for a second. Em looks way better than okay. She looks smoking." I blushed slightly.
"Thanks Randy. Ted." They both smiled.
"You're very welcome." Ted told me, spinning his wedding ring. Something I knew he did when he was thinking about and missing Rebecca.
"No thanks necessary, E." Randy said. "It's the truth."
"You say that now, but wait till you see Fallon." Randy just smiled. When she finally came out, Randy was speechless. Yeah, they were so leaving the party early.
The party was half full when we got there. Everyone, but me, headed to the bar. I don't drink very often, very rarely actually. It has to be a special occasion for me to drink. I headed over to talk to one of my favorite people, Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin. He was totally my buddy. He had been one of the first ones to befriend me (outside of Ted, Randy and obviously Cody) when I first started. He had just been drafted over to RAW and was stilling getting his bearings much like I had been. We had clicked and been friends ever since.
I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. He stiffened a bit, not realizing it was me.
"Oh Mizzy. Please run away with me. I can't live another day without you." I told him laughing. He turned around, smiling.
"Oh Emery!" He over-exaggerated my hug. "Thank God! I didn't know how much longer I could go on without you." I laughed as he squeezed me tightly and rocked me side to side. "So," he pulled back to look at me, "where's your guard dog?" Referring to Cody. Did Mike know about us? No, he didn't. 'Work Cody', always gave me crap about being friends with Mike. 'Real Cody', worried about it. He kept telling me that his gut was telling him that Mike was up to something. He didn't know what but it was just a feeling. I kept telling him that he was being paranoid and over-protective.
"Who? Rhodes?" Mike nodded. "Who cares where he is? It's nice to have one night to myself where I don't have to cater to his every whim. Ted, I don't mind but Rhodes drives me absolutely bat-shit crazy." Mike laughed.
"I don't think he likes me very much." He said, nodding towards a table across the room where Randy, Fallon, Ted and Cody, who was staring at Mike and I, were sitting. He slowly took a sip of beer, never taking his eyes off of us.
"Naw. He's just jealous that I can't stand him and I actually like you." Mike laughed again.
"How could you not like me? I'm awesome." I shook my head at him, laughing.
"That never gets old, Mike. Really it doesn't."
A few hours later, I had danced with half the roster, eaten dinner, with Cody secretly feeling me up under the table, had gone back to the dance floor and now I was dancing with Maryse and Melina. Fallon and Randy had long since gone back to their room. Even Ted had called it a night. That just left Cody and I. I had watched him dance with some of the divas and so wished it was me. I tried to not think about it when I watched him walk to the bar to get some water. The song ended and faded into another one as I felt someone wrap their arm around my waist and pull me close. I turned in his arms to find (how I prayed it was Cody) Mike standing there.
"Dance with me, Em." He said in my ear. I nodded and draped my arms over his shoulders. He wrapped an arm around my hips as we moved to the music. I was so involved in dancing, I didn't notice that Mike was slowly moving us from the dance floor and we were headed for a dark empty corner of the room. I dropped my arms when I finally realized where we were.
"Mike? What are we doing over here?" He leaned in.
"Did you mean what you said earlier?"
"Mean what? What did I say?" I could smell the overwhelming scent of alcohol coming from him. He was more than half-way drunk.
"When you said you wanted me?" Say what?
"Mike, honey, you know I didn't say that." I hesitated when I felt my back come up against the wall. I laid my hands on his chest. "Mike, you know I have a boyfriend." He leaned in closer.
"But he ain't here, is he?" I tried to push him back as he tried to kiss me. I turned my head so his lips hit my cheek. "Don't be like this, Emery. You want me too." I kept trying to shove him back but he was way too strong for me. I was starting to get a little scared.
"Mike, please. This isn't funny anymore." He tried to kiss me again.
"I'm having fun." He pressed me harder into the wall. "I'm having loads of fun, Emery." I tried pushing him again. He didn't budge.
"Mike, please don't do this." I was on the verge of crying.
"You have two seconds to back up from her or…" Mike jerked his head up at the sound of Cody's voice. He took a step away from me but not enough so that I could move away.
"Or you'll what Rhodes?" Cody took a step closer, getting in his face, pushing him back a step. I was able to move away.
"I'll beat your ass like you know I can." I grabbed Cody's arm.
"Cody?" He turned to look at me, completely ignoring Mike, showing him that he didn't feel threatened by him.
"Emery, you okay? Did he hurt you?" I shook my head.
"No. I just wanna get out of here."
"Okay." He turned back to Mike. "You stay the hell away from Emery. If I catch you near her again, one of us won't be walking away." He put his hand on the small of my back and led me out of the ballroom. He was quiet as we got onto the elevator but I could tell by the tension in his body that he was so very angry. Thank God the car was empty.
"Cody?" I touched his arm and set off the spark of fury in him.
"That stupid asshole. I knew he was messing with you. How the fuck does he think he has the right to touch you like that?" He paced tightly in the small car. He was so angry. That and added to how he came to my rescue…I was so incredibly turned on. I grabbed his arm as he got close.
"Cody? Sugar?" He took a deep breath and turned to face me.
"Yes, Emery?" I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him against me, where I was leaned up against the wall. He stopped himself by bracing his hands on the wall on either side of my shoulders. We were mere inches apart. "Princess?"
"Thank you for coming to my rescue."
"You're welcome, Em. You know I'd never…" I talked over him.
"And the way you stood up to Mike…that was so damn sexy. I love when you're angry and aggressive." I pulled him in sharply and kissed him. "Take me, Cody. I want you so bad." I panted.
"Em…" I cut him off quickly.
"Stop talking." I drove my fingers in his hair and jerked him down to kiss me. This time he didn't question. His hands slid from the wall to my back pulling me closer. I snaked my arms around his neck and jumped up, forcing him to catch me. I wrapped my legs tight around his hips. Never once did he break contact with my mouth as he pressed me back against the wall. Cody froze as the elevator came to a stop on our floor. He went to put me down.
"No, don't. Check the hall." He nodded. When the doors opened, he peered out.
"No one. It's clear." I grinned at him. He kissed me as he carried me out of the elevator. He worked his way down to the side of my neck. "What room, princess?"
"Yours. 830, Cody. Hurry." A few moments later, he pressed me up against his door this time. Again, he attacked my neck as he dug his keycard out of his pocket. We followed the door in as he pushed it open. We stepped away, letting it close and lock behind us. Cody walked over to the bed. He dropped me down so that I was sitting on my knees. I had already mostly unbuttoned his shirt on the way to the room. I grabbed both sides and yanked it open, sending the remaining buttons flying. I leaned in and kissed the center of his chest, looking up at him.
"I'll fix them when we get home." I kissed up to the side of his neck as he pulled my shirt up and over my head. He worked at the hooks of my bra as I undid his pants. They both came off as I stepped off the bed. Cody shrugged out of his shirt. He smirked at me as I undid my own pants and slipped both them and my panties off, leaving me completely naked in front of him.
"God damn Emery." He took a step back to me, cupped my hips and pulled me against him. I could feel how hard he was pressed flush against my stomach. He dipped his head to kiss my shoulder working over towards my throat. "You're so damn beautiful, princess." I stroked his naked back.
"And you," I moaned quietly, dropping my head back as he nipped at the side of my neck, "you're still wearing too many clothes." Referring to his tight straining boxers. I stepped back and laid back on the bed. I smiled wickedly at him and crooked my finger at him, telling him to come get me. He smiled back at me as he leaned in on a knee and started to climb up my body. I propped myself up on my elbows, watching him come closer. I rubbed the inside of my foot up the side of his thigh. He stopped to drop kisses on my stomach right above my belly button. I fell off my elbows to tunnel my fingers in his hair. He worked his way up my body, kissing his way between my breasts, up the side of my throat till we were face to face.
"Please, Cody." I begged. While his mouth had been teasing me, his hands had been setting me on fire. Even now, I was rocking my hips in time to the movement of his fingers. "I need you…please." He slowly pulled his hand away, drawing a deep moan from me. He silenced me with a steamy kiss.
"Ready for me, princess?" I moaned a soft 'yes'. He kissed me as he slipped his hand in between our bodies. He stopped short of pushing down his boxers.
"What's wrong sugar?" I asked as he leaned back away from me.
"Don't move, princess." He climbed out of the bed and walked to the foot of the bed where his carry on was. He lifted it and sat it on top of the desk, rummaging through it quickly. I crawled to the foot of the bed and stepped off behind him. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I kissed across his back. "Hold on, Em." He kept digging in his bag, while I pushed his boxers down his hips.
"I need you to hurry, Cody." I ran my hands up and down his chest, still kissing his back.
"I'm trying, prin…oh, thank you Jesus! I found one." He held up the foil wrapper. I smiled and walked around in front of him. I took the condom out of his hand and placed my hands on his chest. I kissed him and pushed him back towards the bed. His legs came up against the edge of the mattress. I pushed him harder, making him sit down. I straddled his lap. He didn't hesitate to kiss me. I ran my hands down his chest, sneaking them between our bodies so that I could grip his burning length. I quickly rolled the condom down over him as I nipped his lower lip.
I rose up slightly. I moaned his name as I lowered myself down him. His hands gripped my hips and helped me move. My hands fisted in his hair as he kissed his way across my collarbone. He surprised me by standing up, still deep inside of me and sat me back on the desk. He kept a hand on my hip and slapped a palm against the wall behind me. Cody groaned something that sounded a lot like my name as he started to rock himself in and out of me.
My legs tightened around his hips, holding him close. I flattened my hands on his back. I could feel the warm tightening in my stomach. I slicked my hands through the sheen of sweat on his skin all the way up to his shoulders. My head fell back as I moaned his name.
"Cody…yes…God. I need you harder, Cody. Harder." He stopped moving and stepped back away from me. "Cody?"
"You want harder, princess?" I bit my lip and nodded. He grinned and lifted me off the desk. He turned and tossed me back on the bed. Before I could move, he was there pinning me to the bed. He lifted my hips up off the bed with his arm under them. He fisted his hand in the sheets by my head. He leaned in and kissed me moments before he started to pound himself into me. I cried out at the sensation. "Is that what you want?" Cody growled in my ear. I moaned his name loudly, giving him his affirmation that was doing exactly what I wanted. I was slightly conscious, in my almost too much to bare pleasure haze, that the knocking/pounding sound I was hearing was the headboard of the bed bouncing off the wall.
Moments later, I screamed out Cody's name as pleasure flooded through me and my release sparked through my veins. Mine set off Cody's and seconds later, he dropped to his forearms on either side of my head. He smiled down at me as my arms slowly slid off his back. It took way too much energy to keep them up there. He kissed me softly.
"That was amazing, Em." He whispered to me. I kissed him.
"No, Code, you were amazing."
"I wouldn't be without you, princess. I love you so much, Em."
"I love you too, Cody. Always."
Cody slowly opened his eyes. He rolled his head to the side only to come up short when his cheek came in contact with Emery's forehead where she had her face tucked up against his neck. He smiled to himself as he felt the rest of her body pressed against his side. Her arm was draped across his chest, their legs were tangled together and the rumpled sheets were barely covering their bodies.
He sighed contently, stroking the silky soft skin of Emery's back as his mind replayed the events of the night before. Anger flashed through him as he remembered the way Mike treated his Em last night. He had known in his gut that shithead was up to something. He had just about made up his mind to have a 'talk' with him when he heard the knock on the door. He glanced over at the bedside clock. It was only 9am. Who could that be?
Cody felt Emery start to stir as the knocking sounded again. He kissed her forehead.
"Stay here, princess. I'll take care of them." He gently untangled himself from her and laid her back down. She sighed softly in her sleep and snuggled into his pillow. He found and slipped on his boxers as he made his way to the door. He peeked through the peephole. Shit! It was Ted on the other side. He opened the door a crack and started to stick his head out.
"Ted? Man, what do you…" Ted shoved the door, throwing Cody of balance so he didn't have a chance to stop Ted from just walking into the room. Fuck! He walked over and stood between Ted and a still sleeping Emery. Ted was looking at their clothing scattered around on the floor.
"I didn't know you were still," he nudged Emery's panties laying in the floor with the toe of his shoe, "entertaining, man." He glanced around Cody's shoulder at the bed. "I thought you normally kicked your rats out when you were done with them."
"Man, don't say that shit about her." Cody shook his head, shutting himself up before he said too much. "What do you want?" Ted kept staring around his shoulder.
"You know," he nodded his head towards the bed, "your girl there looks a lot like Emery." Cody glanced over his shoulder. Emery was lying on her stomach with her hair mussed around her head, a tribute as to how they had spent their night. Her hand was curled up near her face. Even though it was quiet obvious that she was naked, surprisingly, you couldn't see anything. Even though the sheets were bunched and knotted around her waist, covering up just her butt and the top part of one of her thighs. She looked so damn beautiful. Stay focused Runnels.
"What are you doing here, Ted?" He asked again.
"Speaking of Emery, have you seen her?" Cody shook his head 'no'. "I can't find her. I called her room and I went there, no answer. I checked with Randy and Fal and they haven't seen her either. I checked downstairs, thinking that she came down for breakfast, but no."
"Why would I know where she is?" Cody asked. He needed to get Ted out of here now!
"I don't know. You were just my last resort. Let me call her phone." Cody slapped his hand over Ted's phone. He knew Emery's phone was somewhere in the room. She never went anywhere with out that phone.
"Why?" Ted raised an eyebrow at him. Cody scrabbled to cover his ass. "Why do you have to do that here?" Ted pulled the phone away. Cody prayed that her phone died sometime during the night as Ted hit the send button.
"Aren't you wondering where she is? Good it's ringing." Cody sat down heavily on the foot of the bed as the muffled sounds of 'It's A New Day' started to play. That was the song she had set to play when Ted called. Emery was going to be so mad at him. They had finally gotten caught after two years and it was all his fault. Cody looked down at his feet when recognition came over Ted's face.
Damn that ringing. I didn't want to wake up yet. I reached out for Cody.
"Cody? Sugar, turn that off." I mumbled into the pillow. The ringing stopped. I felt out for Cody's body so I could snuggle into him, but he wasn't there. I went to roll over, unknotted the blanket and pulled it up to cover my chest. I opened my eyes to see Cody sitting at the end of the bed. I smiled and wrapped the sheet around me as I sat up and crawled down to him.
"Cody?" He lifted his head and smiled sadly at me. I wrapped my arms around his chest as he pulled me close with an arm around my shoulder. I closed my eyes and tucked my forehead against the side of his throat. He kissed my temple. "Come back to bed. It's cold without you." He sighed.
"Princess, I have something to tell you." I lifted my head, instantly worried.
"What's wrong?" I leaned in and kissed him. I jumped at the sound of someone clearing their throat.
"Emery?" I slowly turned my head in shock. This couldn't be happening. My heart dropped to my stomach as my eyes confirmed what I heard.
"Teddy?"
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! =^.^=
