Say You Love Me(12)

Chapter 4





Cody

“So how about them bulls?” I chugged down the last of my beer and grinned at TJ as he and Mila and Sally waited for me so we could leave the bar.

“How about ‘em?” TJ grinned at me and I lifted up my hand to high-five him. I saw Mila glaring at him from the corner of my eye, but I was too buzzed to care.

“That was frigging awesome,” I called out to the hot redhead who was walking past. She looked over at me with a big smile and licked her lips slowly, seductively. “You sure know how to ride those bulls,” I said again and winked at her.

“I know how to ride a lot of things.” She paused and ran her fingers down the valley between her breasts. “I like to ride.”

“Oh, really?” I said, about to take a step closer to her.

“Cody.” Mila’s voice was sharp. “Really?” she snapped at me and I glanced over at her. Her face was pissed and then I looked at Sally, who had turned away from me, and TJ who was shaking his head slightly. I put my hands up in the air and laughed and then looked back at the sexy redhead.

“Well, have a good night riding.” I grinned at her. “I think we’re about to leave.”

“Pity,” the redhead said and sucked on one of her fingers. “We could have had some fun.” She tossed her hair and then walked away.

“Thanks for nothing, Mila.” I rolled my eyes at my sister and then looked at Sally, who was still avoiding my gaze. “Sally…” I said her name slowly. “Sally,” I said again, wanting her attention.

“Yes, Cody?” she said, as she finally looked at me.

“Nothing.” I laughed. “Wanna get another drink?”

“No, I’m okay, thanks.”

“Come on.” I reached over and grabbed her hand. “Let’s get a drink and dance.”

“I think we’re all ready to go home now, Cody.” TJ gave me one of his looks. I tried not to roll my eyes at him. Ever since he’d gotten serious with Mila, he’d started becoming more and more like my dad and had lost almost all of his fun.

“I’m not ready.” I shook my head. “Are you ready, Sally?”

“Kinda,” she said.

“Let’s go, Cody,” Mila said, frowning as she looked at me. “We’ve watched enough people riding bulls. I don’t think we need to watch people dancing now.”

“I don’t want to watch people dancing. I want to dance. With Sally.” I pulled her towards me and spun her around. “We can two-step, or salsa, or even bump-n-grind. I’m not picky.”

“You can’t even dance.” Mila rolled her eyes at me.

“I can dance when I’m drunk enough.” I started moving slowly and pulled Sally closer to me. She stumbled slightly against me and I held her close to me for a few seconds. “You okay?”

“Yeah.” She blinked up at me and grinned. “I’m fine.”

“Good,” I said softly, gazing down into her big, beautiful, brown eyes.

“So show me your dance moves, then,” she said softly, not moving back.

“Is that a challenge?” I stared at her lips for a few seconds, enjoying the feel of her body next to mine.

“I just want to see your moves,” she said and started moving back and forth slowly. “Can you keep up with me?”

“Hmm, let me see.” I put my hands on her waist and started moving my hips against her.

“Okay, guys. I think we’re going to go.” TJ looked over at me and I could see him smiling at me slightly. “You guys okay to get home?”

“Yeah, we’ll catch a cab. I’ll make sure Sally gets home safely.”

“You sure you want to stay and dance, Sally?” Mila asked her friend, and I felt myself waiting with bated breath to see what she was going to say.

“Sure, why not?” She laughed, throwing her head back, her hair flying past my face as she moved. I grinned at her and pulled her closer to me.

“You two boring folks go home, we’re going to continue having fun.”

“I guess,” Mila said, chewing her lower lip, looking slightly nervous. “Sally, we can all ride together, if you want?”

“I’m cool,” Sally said as she looked at Mila. “I’m just going to enjoy the night.”

“Okay.” Mila nodded, then turned towards TJ. “Let’s go, then. I’m tired. I’ll see you both in a few days, yeah?”

“Sounds good. Bye, sis.” I smiled at her and then watched as she and TJ left. I leaned down and whispered in Sally’s ear as we moved to the beat of the rock music that was playing in the bar. “Wanna grab another drink here or do you want to hit a different bar?”

“I don’t mind.” She shrugged, looking up at me with a small smile. “What do you want to do?” she asked me softly. I stared down at her face and at her lips again and pulled her towards me roughly, enjoying the feel of her breasts against my chest.

“I want to do whatever you want me to do,” I said, leaning down so that my lips were a mere centimeter from hers. My hands fell to her ass and I squeezed her butt-cheeks as I brought her closer towards me. She gasped then, her lips falling open as her eyes widened and I pressed my lips down against hers for a brief second before alarm bells started going off in my head. What was I doing? I was making a huge mistake and I could see from Sally’s eyes that she was feeling confused as well. I pulled back from her abruptly and let go of her. She stumbled back slightly, looking confused, and I started laughing to lighten the mood. “Gotcha.” I grinned at her. “Let’s go find a cab. I think I need to go home and sleep.” I looked at my watch. “I have to get up early tomorrow.”
