me.”
“I am bigger and stronger, and I could hurt you, but I won’t. Not ever. When you believe me, I’ll pin you to the bed beneath my weight and fuck you.”
Avery moaned, rocking his hips faster. “So, this is a trust-building exercise.”
Jonah grinned. “I take my role as a mentor very seriously.”
“Mmmm,” Avery agreed, releasing his grip on Jonah to run his hands over his own smooth chest while riding every inch of Jonah’s throbbing cock. “And here I thought it was a test of wills.” Avery’s breath hitched every time Jonah’s dick nudged his gland. “You don’t want to lose control, but I want you to so very badly.”
It was almost Jonah’s undoing, but he just fisted his hands tighter.
Avery licked his swollen lips. “So close.”
“Are you talking about my control snapping or your orgasm?” Jonah asked, his voice sounding hoarse and raw.
“Both,” Avery said, his voice a higher octave as he inched closer to climax. Jonah expected Avery to reach for his dick and start jerking himself off, but he grabbed onto Jonah’s pecs again. Avery rode Jonah faster and harder, his tight ass bouncing against Jonah’s strained thighs until he cried out and splattered Jonah’s abdomen and chest with cum.
“I win,” Avery said, smiling triumphantly down at Jonah as sweat trickled down his body. He swirled a finger through the mess he made.
Jonah’s tenuous grip on his control snapped. He snaked a hand forward and grabbed Avery’s wrist, lifting the dripping finger to his lips. He sucked the digit into his mouth, tasting Avery’s salty essence. After he finished, Jonah released Avery. “You finished first, but you didn’t win,” Jonah said.
In the next heartbeat, he’d grabbed Avery’s hips and rolled him to his back, pinning the smaller man beneath him. Jonah gave them both what they wanted, snapping his hips forward hard enough to make Avery’s eyes roll back in his head. “We’re both winners.”
“Yes!” Avery cried out.
He fucked Avery relentlessly, reducing his lover to a quivering, moaning, and groaning mess. Jonah shouted victoriously as he came, pumping the condom full. When he finished, he moved to roll off Avery, but he tightened his arms and legs around Jonah, keeping him in place. They both knew Jonah could break the hold just as they knew he wouldn’t.
Avery slid his hands into Jonah’s sweaty hair and pulled him down for a long kiss. When they broke apart several minutes later, Jonah eased out of Avery, then lay down beside him.
“Now comes the favorite part of my fantasy,” Avery said. Jonah’s brain was too fuck-blissed to even guess, but luckily, Avery took pity on him. “After-sex cuddling.” Jonah lifted his arm and Avery tucked himself up against his side, resting his head on Jonah’s chest. He made these little contented purring noises that made Jonah smile. “God, cuddling with you is even better than I imagined. If this is a dream, I don’t want anyone to wake me up.”
“Does this mean you like me too?” Jonah asked.
Avery raised his head and looked into Jonah’s eyes. He expected a sassy or snarky response, but the tenderness in Avery’s gaze stole his breath. “More than you’re ready to hear.”
Jonah opened his mouth to say something, anything, but no words tumbled from his lips. So he kissed Avery again, hoping he could feel how much his confession pleased Jonah.
Once they parted to catch their breath, Avery smiled impishly, then said, “Now I want to live out my second favorite part of my fantasy.” Jonah quirked a brow. “Showering together. I want to run soapy hands all over your body. I hope you have a good hot water heater.”
Jonah mentally crossed his fingers that the appliance had one last ride.
“I guess we’ll find out.”
The next morning, his ringing cell phone woke Jonah from the deepest sleep he’d had in years. He glanced at the time and noticed it was only seven in the morning. Why the hell was Felix calling him so early?
“Hello?” he said gruffly.
“Be ready at eight.”
The ensuing groan disturbed Avery, who Jonah discovered slept like the dead. The phone hadn’t woken him, but the sound of Jonah’s distress stirred him. Jonah ran a hand along Avery’s spine to soothe him back to sleep, but his touch had the opposite effect. One moment, Avery was sound asleep, and the next, he was scooting beneath the sheets. Jonah’s eyes rolled back in his head when he felt the first press of Avery’s tongue at the base of his semi-erect penis.
“What was that
