Ride the Lightning : Sinister in Savannah Book 1

by Aimee Nicole Walker

  “Just two.”

  “Separated by two liters of diet soda,” Willie teased, extending his hand to Avery and introducing himself.

  “Good to meet you, Willie,” Avery said before turning to Jonah. “Ready?” They both knew he was talking about more than leaving the bar.

  Jonah knocked back the last swallow and stood up from the stool. “So ready.” To Willie, he said, “I’ll be in touch.”

  “Have a good night,” Willie said.

  The rain was coming down hard when they stepped outside, so they got drenched during the mad dash to Avery’s car.

  “I think I’m too big for this tight space,” Jonah said, pushing the seat back as far as it would go.

  Avery snorted. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

  The tension was thick inside the car, and like Jonah’s dick, getting thicker as Avery drove toward Jonah’s house. Rain pelted them and lightning streaked across the sky. The only thing louder than Jonah’s pounding heart was the rolling thunder, and the only thing spinning faster than his brain was Avery’s tires.

  What were they doing? There’d be no going back once they crossed the line. As much as he wanted Avery in his bed, he didn’t want to risk—

  Jonah nearly jumped out of his skin when Avery squeezed his thigh. He’d been so lost in thought he hadn’t seen Avery reach for him.

  “I won’t bite…too hard,” Avery said. He stroked his finger over the inseam of Jonah’s jeans, stopping just shy of his crotch. “Stop thinking so much.”

  Jonah ached to feel Avery’s hand on his cock, but his brain hadn’t relinquished full control to his libido yet. “Avery,” he said, his voice sounding jagged and raspy, “I want to take you out on a date.”

  “We’re going on a date on Friday. Remember?” Avery asked, sliding his finger farther away from where Jonah wanted it instead of closer.

  “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?”

  “No,” Jonah said. When he moved to kiss Avery, the man squirmed out of his arms. Jonah was momentarily confused until Avery dropped to his knees.

  Glancing up the length of Jonah’s body, Avery said, “The least I could do is pick them up for you since I made you drop them.” Avery made no move to pick up the forgotten keys; he reached for Jonah’s belt instead.

  Jonah ran his thumb over the plush lips that would soon be wrapped around his cock. Avery bit down on his thumb, then licked it. The sight of Avery’s pink tongue swirling around the tip o
f his digit threatened to make Jonah’s knees buckle. “We should take this to my room.”

  Avery shook his head as he unbuckled Jonah’s belt. “Too far away.”

  Cupping Avery’s face, Jonah said. “You don’t even know where my room is.”

  Avery popped open the first button. “Doesn’t matter.” Then the second button. “Anything beyond this spot is too far.” He leaned forward and kissed the bare flesh he exposed as a third button came loose. “I want you right here.” Jonah’s cock sprang forward once the fourth button was freed. “Right now.” Avery’s hot breath ghosted over Jonah’s cock as he released the final button. Then he yanked the denim to mid-thigh.

  “Kendall could come home and—” The last word died in his throat when Avery extended his tongue to trace the flushed head. Wrapping his lips around the crown, Avery swirled his tongue beneath the sensitive underside. “Right here is good,” Jonah whimpered, staring into the hazel-brown eyes which had always seen right through him. He traced Avery’s stretched lips while praying he didn’t make a fool of himself by coming in thirty seconds.

  Avery gripped the base of Jonah’s cock and eased his mouth further down his shaft until the broad head nudged against the back of Avery’s throat, making him gag a little. Avery’s eyes widened and began to water. Jonah started to pull out of his mouth until Avery lightly grazed his bottom teeth along the underside of Jonah’s erection. Then Avery swallowed more of his cock.

  “Fuck. Oh fuck,” Jonah said, slipping his fingers into Avery’s silky hair. “Feels so good, but be careful.” It took all his control not to fist the strands and fuck Avery’s face.

  Avery maintained eye contact with Jonah as he hummed happily, sending tiny vibrations along his shaft like electrical currents to zap his nuts. Yeah, he wasn’t going to last long if he didn’t put a stop to this.

  Jonah wasn’t the kind of guy who lauded his strength over other people, but he made exceptions when it was essential. Hauling the little minx to his bed seemed very necessary, so he hooked his arms under Avery’s armpits and pulled him to his feet. Avery was so stunned, Jonah had him hoisted over his shoulder by the time he realized what was happening.

  “Stay still,” Jonah said, slapping Avery’s ass when he started to squirm. Avery grunted but immediately settled down. Jonah yanked up his pants so he wouldn’t trip going up the stairs to his bedroom. “Hold on.”

  Jonah made the trip to his room in record time. His long legs gave him a considerable advantage, allowing him to take the steps two at a time. He didn’t set Avery down until he shut his door and locked it.

  Jonah crossed the room to dump Avery on his bed. He wasn’t gentle, but the gleam in Avery’s eyes said he liked it a lot.

  “Do you want this?” Jonah asked, fisting his erection, jutting from the gap in his jeans.

  Avery groaned and licked his bottom lip. “You know I do.”

  Jonah toed out of his shoes and shucked his jeans down his legs, removing them along with his socks. Then he lifted his shirt over his head and tossed it onto the pile of clothes on the floor. “Behave and let me take my time.”

  Avery sat up and reached for his shirt, but Jonah stepped to the bed and wrapped his hand around Avery’s wrist.

  “Let me.” Jonah bit back a chuckle when Avery flopped back with an adorable pout on his lips. Jonah removed Avery’s shoes and socks, rubbing his thumbs along the arches of his feet. “I like you Avery. A lot,” Jonah said hoarsely.

  Avery sucked in a sharp breath. “Jonah.”

  “Mmmmmm. There’s that sound again,” Jonah said, massaging Avery’s calves, the back of his knees, and his thighs through his jeans as he inched closer to his waistband. “Are you going to gasp so prettily when I slide my dick inside you?”

  “I’ll probably embarrass myself and cry because I’ve wanted you for so long.”

  “That makes two of us.”

  Jonah veered to the center and squeezed Avery’s erection through his clothes, making the man squirm and moan. He unbuttoned his jeans and tugged the zipper down, exposing light blue underwear. Noticing the damp circle from precum, Jonah leaned forward, pressing his nose against the spot and breathing him in deep. Heaven.

  Avery bucked beneath him and cried out his name desperately. Jonah raised up and locked gazes with Avery, who lifted his hips to make it easier for Jonah to remove his jeans and underwear. Avery slid his hands in Jonah’s hair when he hovered over Avery’s bare cock for too long. Jonah knew what Avery craved. He wanted it also.

  Jonah fisted the base of Avery’s cock and took him to the back of his throat.

  “Oh, fuck!” Avery cried out, snapping his hips up and driving his dick deeper into Jonah’s mouth. Reaching between Avery’s spread legs, Jonah cupped and massaged his smooth balls while working his mouth up and down Avery’s cock. “You better stop,” Avery said, his voice trembling. “I really want to shoot down your throat, but not yet.”

  Jonah chuckled and released Avery’s cock. Pushing Avery’s shirt upward, Jonah kissed each inch of smooth, pale skin Jonah exposed, lingering on that cinnamon-colored freckle near Avery’s belly button. Jonah lavished a lot of attention on Avery’s hard nipples, licking, sucking, and tugging them with his teeth.

  “Pin me to the bed. I want your weight on me,” Avery moaned.

  Jonah lifted his head and stared into Avery’s eyes. He’d be lying if he wasn’t worried about the differences in their sizes. Not just Jonah’s weight either. As if Avery read his mind, a sly grin slowly spread across his face. Uh-oh.

  “I’ve been practicing,” Avery whispered.

  Practicing? What the hell did that entail? He scowled at the idea of Avery fucking other men, which was ludicrous since he wasn’t the Boy Scout everyone claimed he was.

  Avery slapped his bicep. “Not that kind of practice, idiot. More like training.”

  “Not sure I like that verb any better,” Jonah admitted.

  Avery snorted and lifted his legs toward his chest. Jonah smiled when he understood what Avery had meant. He grabbed Avery’s firm ass cheeks and spread them further apart before gripping the base of the butt plug and twisting.

  Avery’s eyes widened, and his mouth fell open. Like that, did he? Jonah pushed the toy again, knowing it pegged Avery’s gland. Avery whimpered and clung to Jonah’s biceps. “Need you. Now.”

  Avery sounded like he was seconds away from spurting all over himself, and Jonah liked it…a lot. With his shirt rucked up and forgotten, his mussed hair, swollen lips, and blown pupils, Avery looked the part of a shameless imp. Fuck if it didn’t push all Jonah’s buttons.

  “You were awfully sure of yourself,” Jonah said, running his finger along the puckered flesh stretching to accommodate the intrusion.

  Avery’s body tensed, and his back bowed off the bed. “Not really,” he panted. “I mean, I figured this weekend was a sure bet, so I started my training tonight when I got home from work.”

  Jonah closed his eyes, moaning as he imagined how sexy Avery had looked while lubing and inserting the plug inside his ass. Did he make the sexy little gasp? Did Avery think about Jonah and get turned on? He nudged the base again, and Avery’s breath hissed between his lips.

  “I was going to graduate to a larger one tomorrow, an even larger one the next day, and so on to get prepared for Friday. I’m not a virgin, but I was pretty certain you have a horse dick, so…”

  Jonah lowered his head and licked the precum dripping onto Avery’s abdomen at the same time he twisted the butt plug again.

  Avery fisted both hands in Jonah’s hair. “Fuck me, damn it.”

  “I don’t know,” Jonah teased. “If you just started stretching—”

  “I put the biggest one in after you called me. I. Am. Ready. Get the lube, get the condoms, and—”

  Jonah cut off his bossy tirade when he sucked Avery’s dick into his mouth, swallowing him down to the root. Avery squeezed his thighs against Jonah’s head, lifting his hips and fucking Jonah’s face. He place
d his hand on Avery’s abdomen to hold him still, then bobbed his head up and down on his cock. Avery’s head thrashed from side to side, and his fingers tightened in Jonah’s hair.

  Jonah used his distraction to remove the plug from Avery’s pucker before letting his cock slide free from his mouth. “Would you look at that?” Jonah said, watching Avery’s entrance flex. “It’s begging for me to fill it.”

  “Told you so.”

  Instead of retrieving the lube and a condom, Jonah lifted Avery’s ass higher in the air, shoved his face between his ass cheeks, and made a feast of it. Avery cried out the second Jonah’s tongue traced the rim of his pucker and continued to get louder and bossier as Jonah worked him closer and closer to the precipice. He knew when Avery had reached his limits because his words were incoherent.

  Jonah released Avery’s legs and retrieved protection and lube from the nightstand. “Are you sure? We can’t undo this, and it might make things difficult for us at work.”

  “You’re asking me that after you tongue-fucked me?” Avery asked, recovering his ability to speak.

  “I’m serious.”

  Avery snorted. “Fine. I quit. Now fuck me.”

  Jonah tore the condom wrapper open and rolled it on before smearing lube down his length. Turning his attention to Avery’s hole, Jonah stretched and prepared him further. Once he was satisfied Avery was ready, Jonah got onto the bed and lay down on his back instead of positioning himself between Avery’s parted thighs.

  Rolling to his side, Avery glared at him.

  “You want me to pin you to the bed and fuck you?” Jonah asked, tucking his hands beneath his head.

  “I was pretty clear about it.”

  Jonah smiled at him. “Prove you can take me.”

  The twinkle of mischief grew brighter as Avery crawled toward him. “You’re going to regret putting me in charge.”

  “I’ve said the same thing at least once a week since you became my intern,” Jonah quipped.

  Avery raked his eyes over Jonah’s stretched-out body. “So, what? You’re just going to lie there and make me do all the work?”
