or uncles?”
I tensed a little but made myself relax. “No. Both my parents were only children, and my grandparents have passed on. My mum’s when I was young, and my dad’s… well, I heard it was a few years ago.”
“You don’t talk to them?”
“They moved away, but no, I never really spoke to them even when they lived here. What about your birth mum?”
His arms tightened for a second. “Can’t stand the bitch. She’s a money-hungry whore, and that’s putting it mildly. Dad and Mum got me outta her house the night she and her new fella decided to have an orgy with me in the house. I was thirteen or fourteen. Somethin’ like that.”
“Oh my God,” I breathed. She sounded disgusting. “I’m sorry you had to see that, but I’m glad Talon and Zara got you out.”
“Same, babe.” His arms loosened so he could run his hands up and down my arms.
We fell silent for a while, until I said softly, “Mum and I ran from my father the weekend after that situation happened at high school. He used to beat us.”
His arms tightened around me. “Fuck, angel. Sorry that happened to you both.”
“So am I. But, in a way, I wouldn’t be where I am in life otherwise. I loved the time I got to have with Mum, just her and me. How we found the passion for baking because we wouldn’t have opened the bakery otherwise. She was the strong one to make the move in the first place. I made sure I would stay strong for her in life as well.”
“That why you learned to fight?”
“Yes. I never wanted another person to take a hand to me or my mum again.”
“Is he still around?”
I paused. I had a feeling I knew where this would go, and that would be a beaten-up father from my man. “He is, but I haven’t seen him since, and I don’t want to. I’d like to keep it all behind me and not rehash things, which means I would prefer if you left him alone to live his miserable life.”
“Is he miserable?”
“The last time I spoke with an old friend, which was a long time ago, she told me he was a drunk and a bum. So yes, he is.”
“Don’t like that he took a hand to you and your mum and he didn’t get any payback for it.”
“He did. We left him, and it would have been a huge blow to his ego.” I quickly got to my knees and spun around to face him. Cody smirked, hands to my waist as I straddled his hips. “Anyway, I can think of better things to think about and do.”
He quirked a brow. “Yeah?”
“Oh yes.” I leaned in and whispered into his ear, “I’m talking about me, my mouth, and your penis. Are you up for it?”
Cody chuckled. “Like your distracting techniques, angel. I won’t complain if that’s what you really want to do.”
I grinned. “I sure do.”
Because even when I’d started it as a distraction, I still wanted to have Cody in my mouth. My pussy throbbed just from the thought.
I would never get enough of him.
“Just know, I’ll have to return the favour,” Cody said just as I kissed his neck.
I trailed kisses down over his tee-covered chest and pulled back, shrugged, and said, “I mean, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.”
Cody chuckled again and leaned forward to kiss me on the nose. “Get at it then, woman, ’cause I got a taste, and I’m wantin’ it now.”
Of course, I quickly got down to business.
Chapter Nineteen
Channa
She’s smiling again,” Denise commented.
“Didn’t know she’d be this sickly if she got herself a man,” Stanley said.
“Shut it, you two,” I told them as I pulled a tray of pies from the walk-in refrigerator.
“I think it’s cute. God knows I need some action.”
“Fucking hell, this is what I get for working with two women. Denise, I don’t need to know. It’s bad enough I know Channa’s all happy because of her man.”
I dropped the tray to the counter and asked, “Denise, was that the door opening?”
“Nope.” She grinned. “Does Coyote have any friends that are single?”
I paused and looked over at her leaning against the counter. “You want me to ask Cody to set you up with a brother?”
“Oooh, look at you getting the lingo down,” she teased. “Yes, if there’s a nice one like Coyote.”
Laughing, I shrugged. “I’ll see if Cody knows of one.”
