noise?” Felix asked.
“Noise?” Jonah asked breathlessly. “I didn’t hear anything.” Avery giggled beneath the sheets. “Where are we going?”
“Jesus Christ,” Felix groused. “Don’t you know better than to answer your phone during sex? I’ll be there at eight thirty. Be ready.” Felix hung up before Jonah could respond. Avery sucked one of Jonah’s balls in his mouth, and he lost the ability to do anything but cry out Avery’s name.
Unfortunately, it happened at the same time Kendall burst through his bedroom door, shouting Jonah’s name. He was soaking wet with a towel haphazardly wrapped around his waist and soapy hair sticking up in all directions. Beneath the sheet, Avery stilled for a second before tickling Jonah’s taint with the tip of his tongue.
“Shut the door and go away,” Jonah growled at Kendall. He grabbed the pillow Avery had slept on and hurled it at his friend.
Kendall ducked to avoid it but didn’t step farther in the room. “Oh, wow. You have company.”
“You don’t have to sound so shocked,” Jonah groused.
“Forgive me,” Kendall said. “You’ve just lived like a monk for so long.”
“I’m not into voyeurism, K. Get out,” Jonah repeated.
“Oh, for fuck’s sakes,” Kendall said, rolling his eyes. “I didn’t come here to watch or join in.”
“Then leave,” Jonah said, his voice straining as Avery sucked on his taint.
“The hot water heater crapped out in the middle of my shower. I must insist you fix it right away.”
“Sure thing. Now get the fuck out of here,” Jonah said tersely.
Kendall waggled his brows, then shut the door loud enough to make Avery giggle. Jonah reached beneath the sheets and tugged Avery up until he sprawled across Jonah’s chest.
Jonah nuzzled his nose against the sensitive spot beneath Avery’s ear. “Good morning.”
“Not yet, it isn’t,” Avery said. “I was trying to make it one.”
Jonah brushed a lock of hair off Avery’s forehead and took in his disheveled appearance and soft eyes. “It’s perfect.”
“I had big plans to make you messy,” Avery countered. “Maybe we need to alter them a little bit since you won’t be able to take a shower, and it sounds like there’s someplace you need to be soon.”
“I have ninety minutes before Felix picks me up to drive me God knows where. I’m willing to get creative if you are,” Jonah said, lifting his head and kissing the softest lips he’d ever known.
“What did you have in mind?” Avery asked in between kisses.
He rolled Avery onto his side with a playful growl. Jonah repositioned himself so his head was facing the opposite end of the bed. He would much rather have Avery straddling his face in a sixty-nine position, but this allowed Avery to have more control.
Jonah would’ve loved to drag out their pleasure and include more teasing foreplay, but things were still so damn new and thrilling. They spilled down each other’s throats without much effort or fanfare, but neither of them complained as they lay panting in the bed.
“I wish I could stay longer,” Avery said, pressing a kiss against Jonah’s chest. “There’s so much of you I haven’t explored yet, but I need to get home and get ready for work.”
Jonah held him tighter. “Don’t wash my scent off you yet.” He liked knowing Avery would go to work smelling like his soap and shampoo.
“I didn’t plan on it,” Avery said, smiling at him.
Jonah patted his ass, then eased out of bed. “I’ll go get your stuff from downstairs.” They’d washed their wet clothes after their shower and tossed them in the dryer before going to bed.
“Like that?” Avery asked, gesturing to Jonah’s nude body.
Jonah smiled sheepishly as he pulled a pair of basketball shorts from a drawer and put them on. “Better?” he asked.
Eyes locked on Jonah’s crotch, Avery said, “Barely, but I’ll take it.”
Jonah wished he could make Avery a cup of tea before he left, but he didn’t keep any on hand. He made a mental note to pick some up along with Betty’s preferred dog treats from the store. Avery hated coffee with a passion, so Jonah didn’t bother offering him a mug or make any for himself. He could wait until he gave Avery a proper send-off which included a lot of tongue and touching.
Avery sighed happily and leaned against the driver’s side door of his car. “I thought you’d be freaking out this morning.”
“Me too,” Jonah admitted. “It might come later.”
Avery laughed. “I’ll be ready. Have fun with Felix. Call me later.”
“I will,” Jonah said softly, kissing him once more before
