Cody, he shouted, following her over the edge.

The morning light was streaming through the blinds as Aubrey rolled over, blinking her eyes open. Cody continued to sleep beside her, breathing deeply.
She ran her fingers gently over his cheek. Cody looked younger when he was asleep. The stress lines had cleared from his forehead and there was an almost angelic look to his face. She knew when his brown eyes opened that the worry and stress would be back.
Aubrey wanted to take that pain from him and the only way she could think to do so was to help him with the investigation. Without him knowing, of course.
She had to stop Cody from finding out what she was doing. Instead of concentrating on the case, he would be worrying about her. Cody wasn’t going to let her help, so she needed to do a better job at hiding what she was doing.
He hadn’t changed in the years he’d been gone. He was still the same stubborn, hard-headed, sexy-as-sin man who had left her. Luckily, she had changed. She wasn’t letting him go this time. Cody was hers—his possessiveness and dominance were everything she’d always craved and had never found with another man.
And she didn’t want to be with anyone else.
Cody was going to have to get used to the idea of her sticking around. Once, she hadn’t fought for him. She’d learned her lesson.
He opened his eyes, their colour clear and free of stress.
“Hi.” He smiled at her.
“Hi.” She was a little embarrassed to get caught watching him sleep.
He cupped her face and lifted his head to give her a morning kiss. She returned it and when he pulled away, she wasn’t uncomfortable any longer.
She wanted him again.
Grinning, he rolled her over, obviously feeling the same way. His cock was already hard and trailed pre-cum against her thigh.
She ran her hands down his sides and started nibbling his neck.
He moaned, already moving his hips.
She reached lower and stroked her fingers over his erection. His thick cock felt wonderful in her hand. She thumbed the head of his prick, loving the low groan that escaped him.
Aubrey felt powerful. She couldn’t wait until he was inside her.
Cody brought his mouth to hers again. They kissed deeply as he entered her slowly.
It felt so good when he withdrew before thrusting into her again. She positioned her legs high up his back where he could hold them securely under his arms.
She lifted her hips to meet each steady plunge.
He made love to her thoroughly. When she climaxed this time, it was soft and flowed from her. Cody drove himself in three more times before throwing his head back as he came.
She tightened her arms around his neck and held him close after he collapsed on top of her.
They panted, embracing until their breathing was steady again.
Cody rolled to the side then met her gaze.
He started chuckling and she giggled.
A nice, easy mood had settled between them now that the sexual tension had been released.
“If you want to jump in the shower, I’ll fix you a cup of coffee,” Cody offered.
She almost asked him to join her, but thought better of it. She could use a few minutes alone. She nodded and climbed out of bed. She could feel his gaze on her as she made her way to the open doorway. Pausing in the threshold, she glanced over her shoulder and winked at him.
He laughed just like she’d intended.
Happily, she went into the bathroom to shower and get ready to start the day.
She washed quickly, not wanting to use all the hot water. She dried off before enfolding herself in the towel so that she could go find her clothes from the night before.
She walked through the bedroom and out into the living room. She pulled on her panties and jeans that had been folded neatly on the coffee table. Her bra was at the bottom of the pile so she put that on too.
But her top was nowhere to be found.
Frowning, she walked into the kitchen and spotted Cody at the counter with two mugs.
“You still drink your coffee black?” he
