finally nodded, “That’s what all this is. You and your firsts. Our first date, our first time eating out together, and then…”

“Then, I had planned for a movie and…”

“No.” Reed’s eyes flared with heat and Jonah bit his lip to stifle the warm, knowing smile that wanted to form on his face.

“You’re opposed to attending the movie theater?”

“We can have that first another night. You’re pushing my willpower as it is.” Reed gave him a warning look, “Tonight, we can have our dinner date. We can eat and flirt and talk. But then I’m taking you home and I’m going to make love to you for the first time, Jonah. I’m going to bury myself inside you until there’s nothing between us. No you, no me, just us.”

Jonah swallowed hard at the sexy promise in Reed’s voice. This was exactly what he’d wanted even if the timing wasn’t entirely what he’d planned. Reed was looking at him as if he wanted to eat him alive. Both of them were already breathing hard as they thought of what was to come as soon as they finished their dinner. It both excited Jonah and made his hands shake with nerves because he knew there would be no going back.

If he gave his body to Reed, the man would have all of him. He already had his heart and soul. Giving him his body only seemed fitting.

“But first…” He managed to push out a breathy sigh, “We eat.”

“Sure.” Reed grinned, “I’d love to eat dinner with you, babe. Besides, it’s not like I can stand up from this table to drag you out of here right now anyway without showing everyone the cockstand attempting to break free of my pants.”

“Oh…” Jonah’s eyes widened, his own cock thickening with the idea that Reed was hard for him just from talking about them fully being together, finally.

“Oh, Jonah. Jonah. Jonah.” Reed shook his head, amusement and pleasure warring for dominance on his face, “I can’t wait to find out if your mouth makes that same little ‘oh’ when I push inside you for the first time.”

Jonah groaned. Reed grinned. And as they sat back in their chairs, eyes only for each other, the waiter returned to take their order and officially start their first date.

Chapter Eighteen

Reed was still sporting a massive erection by the time they stumbled their way inside Jonah’s apartment. They’d started kissing on the landing and Jonah had just about never gotten the door unlocked. Reed didn’t want to let him go, not for a second, worried he would change his mind about this if he had time to think this through but also worried that if he didn’t give him the chance to change his mind, that Jonah might hate him later.

He kicked the door shut behind them and then turned, pushing Jonah against it as he broke the kiss, “Wait…”

“Wh-what?” Jonah blinked dark eyes up at him, his pupils blown and his lips swollen from their kisses.

“I need you to be sure about this.” Reed touched their foreheads together gently.

Jonah blinked, “I’m sure.”

“I don’t want to push you.”

“You’re not.” Jonah reached up and cupped his cheeks, “You haven’t pushed at all. That’s why I love you.”

Reed sucked in air so fast his head swiveled. He hadn’t expected any of this. Not tonight. Maybe someday, in the future, once he’d shown Jonah that he was safe with him. Once they were able to be together in public, to be together in every way, he’d thought that maybe then, he would earn Jonah’s love.

To hear him say it now, filled Reed with so much joy and happiness, so much warmth, that his throat felt raw.

“God, Jonah.” He brushed their lips together. “I love you too.”

“You do?” Jonah looked surprised and Reed practically sobbed a laugh.

“Of course I do, you’re incredible. I’ve been falling in love with you since the moment I saw you, Jonah. This. Us. You. My life finally feels like it’s on the right path, and that I’m headed in the right direction. You make me a better man, Jonah, so of course I love you.”

Jonah’s bottom lip trembled slightly, “You make me a better man too. I love being with you and I want to be with you completely. Make love to me.”

Reed still hesitated, “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t. I trust you. You’ve been so careful with me from the start. You won’t hurt me. I know you won’t.”

“But…”

“I want you.” Jonah admitted in barely a
