His favourite past time is to make sure I don't have a chance.
It's a lazy Saturday afternoon and it started with a text.
'I'm in a mood,' Cody had said. Jo rolled over, casting dark, lovely eyes to me, gentle hands, and hard as the morning. I picked up the phone to glance at it.
"Seems a bit early, isn't he Lee?"
"I don't mind," I murmur. "Do you?"
"Not at all," Jo laughs, laying back into bed with a chuckle and a wicked twinkle.
"No effort on my part and I get to watch you get turned on? Must be my lucky morning."
"It might go no where," I say, rolling onto my stomach so I can text back an innocent emoji.
"He ain't going to believe that," Jo murmured. I can tell, though we aren't touching, that he's thinking too heavily on what we might be texting. I nudge his foot with mine and give him the most angelic smile. He snorts, unbelieving. He's seen me be far too bad to believe this, and that's probably fair.
"Fancy joining?" Cody replies.
"Only if you like an audience," I say, looking over to Jo who has eyes half open and one hand under the sheets.
"Voyeurs only excite me."
"Same," I chuckle as I type this reply.
"How's your morning?"
"Getting hotter."
"You might as well touch yourself," Jo says. "But tell Cody."
"May I touch myself?"
"Only your skin," Cody replies. I've rolled onto my back now so Jo and I are both propped up in bed. He sees my frown and reaches over to touch my thigh, but nothing else.
"That's gotta be pretty hard, ain't it?" he says. I shoot him a haughty glare before my phone chims again.
"Mean."
"I could be."
Cody could be worse - and I had had worse. I had also inflicted worse, so maybe it was fair. Cody enjoyed when Jo watched. I hated watching Cody and Jo - not for jealousy because they were just as much fire, but for envy. Cody brought out Jo's protective, in-charge-ness that I ended up suppressing for gentle subservience.
No one lost.
"Now it's time to touch, I think."
I did, the willingly yet helpless victim to the instructions.
"How's that feel?"
"Oh very good."
