“Mmmhmmm,” Jonah managed as he squirmed in his seat. “I meant before we, um…”
“Fuck?” Avery asked, stroking back toward Jonah’s crotch. This time, the edge of Avery’s pinky finger brushed against Jonah’s erection. Avery sucked in a sharp breath, while all the air hissed out of Jonah’s lungs.
“Uh, yeah,” Jonah wheezed. “Get to know each other and stuff.”
“Oh, I’m planning on getting to know you very well tonight.” Avery squeezed his cock, and Jonah canted his hips, pushing harder against the contact. “I need to know what drives you wild.”
“It’s you,” Jonah admitted. “You’re my undoing.”
Avery sighed as a shiver rolled through him. “This weather is the perfect soundtrack for us. The sexual tension has been building like a storm for so long. You’ve blustered and huffed and puffed, and now I’m going to blow…you.” Avery stroked Jonah’s rigid length through his jeans, squeezing with the perfect amount of pressure and making Jonah’s eyes roll back in his head. “Dinner and a movie sound like a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to it, but I’ve had enough foreplay the past eight months.” Avery released Jonah’s cock and placed his hand back on the steering wheel. Damn tease. He wanted to snatch that hand back and grind against it.
“I think our idea of foreplay is very different,” Jonah said.
Avery shook his head. “The spilled coffees, the petty arguments, and the way you thundered around the office all led us to this point.”
Avery’s boldness and sass appealed to Jonah as much as the man’s lean body, kind heart, and brilliant mind. Jonah had spent so much of his life hiding and pretending. He had hidden his sexuality from his family, friends, and the army. He’d pretended to be a soldier at war, but his hesitation to pull the trigger at a critical moment resulted in immeasurable loss. Some people saw Jonah as a scarred freak, some viewed him as a computer geek, and others mislabeled him a hero. Not Avery. He just saw a man.
Jonah felt like he was on the cusp of something truly special. He just had to be brave enough to reach for it. Was he?
“Do you trust my judgment?” Avery asked as he pulled into Jonah’s driveway and parked. After turning off the car, Avery removed his seat belt and turned his body toward Jonah.
Jonah swallowed hard. “Yes.”
“Then stop trying to talk yourself out of us,” Avery said fiercely as he crawled across the console and straddled Jonah’s lap. Avery removed Jonah’s seat belt and attacked his mouth with hungry kisses.
Jonah gripped Avery’s ass and held him tightly, deepening the kiss until they were both panting and breathless. Avery started rocking his hips, grinding their groins together. “I don’t want to come in my pants.”
Avery grinned wickedly. “One of these days, I do want to drive you that crazy, but not our first time together.”
“First time, huh?”
Avery pressed his lips against Jonah’s for a quick kiss. “Don’t think for two seconds that we’re going back to way things were. You’re going to admit how much you like me, and I’m going to make you realize just how badly you want to do the boyfriend thing with me.”
Jonah smiled at the audacious man on his lap. “Is that so?”
“Yes.” He moved to get off Jonah, but the big man just tightened his grip on Avery’s ass and pushed open the car door. “Wrap your legs around me,” Jonah said as he stood up with Avery in his arms.
“Mmmmm. I’ve been waiting to hear you say those words to me,” Avery purred as he complied.
Having Avery’s arms and legs entwined around him felt so right that Jonah nearly stumbled.
“Whoa there, big fella,” Avery said, shamelessly grinding himself against Jonah’s straining erection.
Jonah stopped when he reached the front porch, setting Avery on the railing and ravishing his mouth. The rain continued to pelt them, but it felt good against Jonah’s overheated skin. Lightning continued to streak across the sky, flashing against Avery’s fair flesh like a strobe light.
“The front door is just a few feet behind you,” Avery said, panting against Jonah’s lips. “Unless you plan to fuck me out here on the porch.” He reached down and gripped the railing, giving it a good shake. “Seems steady enough.”
“I initially only planned to set you down long enough to remove my house keys from my pocket.”
“Oh,” Avery said excitedly. “Let me help you.” He shoved his hand in the left pocket, which was the direction Jonah’s erection leaned. Jonah’s keys weren’t in there, but Avery already knew it and continued to tease his cock through the thin fabric. His tormentor’s mouth fell open, allowing a soft gasp to escape. The noise was precisely what Jonah imagined Avery would make when he slid his dick inside him. “You’re not wearing any underwear.”
“Quit teasing me and retrieve my keys from the other pocket so you can find out.”
Avery ignored him and squeezed along the length of his dick. “I know full well you don’t free-ball it when you wear dress pants to work. I’ve stared at your ass enough to see the outline of your briefs. Do you only go commando when you wear jeans?”
Jonah retrieved his keys before hoisting Avery in his arms once more. The lithe body felt so fucking right against his, even better than he’d imagined in his horniest fantasies. Avery sucked and nibbled on his neck while Jonah unlocked the deadbolt and stepped inside his home. He fumbled his keys and dropped them on the floor when Avery bit down on his earlobe. Jonah growled as his dick throbbed even harder.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Avery said. “Too hard?”
