Building Bridges (Sater's Creek Book 4)

by Megs Pritchard

  He lifted the bottle to his lips and took a sip, his eyes on Elias, who was watching him. He pulled it away and slowly licked his lips and smiled when he heard the faint moan. Elias smiled back at him and adjusted his dick, making Lachlan suck in a breath. He wanted to see it, touch it, taste it.

  “Baby steps.”

  “What?” Lachlan looked up at Elias, seeing him arch an eyebrow at him.

  “You can look all you want… later.”

  Lachlan grinned. “Can I? Good to know.”

  “So, you said baby steps.”

  “I did. Sampson’s going to be a brilliant horse once trained. But it will take some time before we get there.”

  Elias turned the heat off the stove. “This is ready. Medium rare for your steak, potatoes, and beans.”

  “Nice. I’m starving. Want me to do anything?”

  “Grab a couple of beers from the fridge, please.”

  Lachlan pushed away from the counter and did something he’d wanted to do since he’d walked in. He strode over to Elias and kissed him. He stepped back before the kiss went too far, and smiled. “Beers.”

  “Yeah,” Elias croaked out. Clearing his throat, Elias asked, “What was that for?”

  Instead of answering the question, Lachlan asked one of his own. “Are we doing this?”

  Elias stared at him. “What?”

  “Us. Sex, Eli.”

  He watched Elias blink slowly and open and close his mouth a couple of times before chuckling as he shook his head. “I was hoping but thought it would take longer. You know. Later, as in after we’ve talked.”

  Lachlan shrugged and walked over to the fridge, grabbing a couple of beers. Placing one on the table, he sat opposite Elias. “It’s obvious why I’m here.”

  “I do want to have sex, but I want to get to know you first. We’ve messaged a lot, but I want to talk too.”

  “Why?”

  “I like you. I liked you back then, and I want to get to know you now. If it was just a booty call, I would have had you stripped and in my bed as soon as you walked through the door.”

  Lachlan nodded. So Elias wanted more than just sex? Lachlan wasn’t ready for that, not after his past experiences. “You don’t want to fuck, then?”

  Elias leaned on the table, pushing his plate to one side. Lachlan watched him as he fiddled with the bottle of beer Lachlan had given him. “Of course I want us to have sex. I kissed you, told you I thought you were hot. I haven’t hidden my attraction to you.” He looked up and asked, “Is this some way to get back at me because of what I did?”

  Lachlan gasped. “No, of course it’s fucking not. I don’t play those fucking games.”

  Elias nodded once. “I didn’t think you did.”

  “If I didn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t be.” Lachlan ran a hand through his hair, shaking his head. “Fucking hell. I can’t believe you actually thought that.” Lachlan pushed his own plate aside and grabbed his beer, gulping down half the bottle. “I’m insulted. You apologized, and yeah, I was a bit of an ass, but I’ve accepted it.”

  “I’m sorry. I just wanted to make sure.”

  Lachlan nodded and took another mouthful of his beer. Shit. He could have easily been that person, to use Elias and toss him aside as a way to get back at him. Sighing, he placed the bottle carefully on the table. “I get it. You think this is my way of stringing you along.” Lachlan shrugged. “I don’t work that way. I say what I think. I wanted you back then, and it hasn’t changed. Yeah, I hated you for what you did, but that was then. We’ve both grown up, and you had shit at home.” Lachlan took a deep breath, then said, “I’ve talked to Tucker, and his family is shit. Yours could have done the same thing if you had been honest back then. I’m lucky. I know that.”

  Elias nodded slowly but didn’t look up. “Thank you.” He finally lifted his head, and Lachlan watched him lick his lips. “It could have been so much different. Not sure if what we have now is any better, but at least they’re in my life. You’d think by now, people would have accepted the LGBTQ community, but some will never embrace the words they read in the bible.”

  “Love thy neighbor?” Lachlan snorted and picked up his silverware. “Do you remember that guy who had a go at Brad for being gay? It was before my time.”

  “Not really. I was young then. I’ve heard about it since.”

  Lachlan cut into his steak and took a bite, moaning when the juices flowed over his tongue. “This is a damn good steak.”

  Elias grinned. “I learned a lot in the Navy.”

  “Jerry.” He saw Elias wince when he mentioned the man’s name. “He was my first too.”

  Elias snorted. “Guess he had both of us, then.”

  “Hope he was better with you. He just lay there and did nothing.”

  “He didn’t fuck you?”

  “I’m a top.” He watched Elias waiting for him to tell him tonight was over because he was a top too, but all he did was nod.

  “Good. I’m a bottom.”

  Lachlan’s eyebrows shot up. “Really? You’re a bottom?”

  “Yep. Gonna fuck me later, Lach?”

  Grinning, Lachlan said, “Damn right, I am.”

  “Eat up, then. Don’t let this good food go to waste.”

  Lachlan did as Elias asked and ate. The food was as good as it smelled. He watched Elias, their eyes catching and holding several times throughout the meal, the sexual tension in the room escalating with every second. Lachlan made a point of biting and licking his lips or adjusting his rock-hard dick. Elias would gasp, his eyes following every move Lachlan made, and then he would grin.

  Lachlan wanted to swipe everything off the table and feast on Elias, but he knew if he waited, it would be so much better when they finally came together. When they finally got rid of their clothes and did what they both wanted.

  It did feel strange too, sitting opposite the man who had caused him so much pain and suffering. He’d believed Elias when he apologized, but it still made him pause and stare at the man opposite him.

  “Do you want anything else to eat?” Elias asked, his eyes focused on Lachlan’s lips.

  “I think we should clear up and go upstairs.”

  He saw Elias’s lips part, and he was close enough to see a faint flush cover his cheeks. “Yeah, we should.”

  Lachlan stood and made a show of adjusting his hard dick again, his hand caressing it, and smiled smugly when Elias groaned. He jumped up, moved around the table, and pushed Lachlan up against the wall. “I take it we’re cleaning up later,” Lachlan murmured, a smile on his lips.

  “Yeah,” Elias practically growled.

  Lachlan licked his lips and grabbed Elias’s hips, pulling him close. They both moaned when their dicks touched. Elias smiled, then leaned forward and kissed Lachlan.

  Lachlan opened his mouth, letting Elias’s tongue in, and tilted his head, deepening the kiss. He slid his hands around Elias, grabbing his ass and grinding against him. Elias moaned, his tongue thrusting into Lachlan’s mouth.

  Lachlan sucked on it, feeling Elias’s body shudder beneath his hands. He kept sucking on it, letting it slide between his lips and then licked across Elias’s lips before plunging his tongue into Elias’s mouth.

  Elias pulled on Lachlan’s T-shirt, tugging it free from his jeans, and slid his hands under it, caressing Lachlan’s back. He shivered under Elias’s touch and groaned when Elias scratched his back with his blunt nails.

  Lachlan moaned and broke the kiss, staring into Elias’s blown pupils. He stepped toward the stairs, moving around Elias, who panted as he watched Lachlan. He didn’t want to fuck Elias in the kitchen. He wanted a bed beneath them their first time. He shivered beneath Elias’s touch, and Elias moved closer, whispering, “Upstairs.”

  “Yeah.”

  Elias pulled Lachlan, and he followed eagerly, still kissing Elias as they moved. Elias chuckled into the kiss, his hands tightening on Lachlan’s back as he directed them across the kitchen.

  Th
ey moved slowly, each refusing to break the kiss. Lachlan bounced off the wall as he went up the stairs, laughing when Elias stumbled after him. He lifted his arms when Elias pulled his T-shirt off and kissed him again as Elias threw it to the floor.

  Elias broke the kiss to pull his own shirt off and groaned when Lachlan bit his shoulder. Lachlan licked the bite and mumbled, “You taste good. Want another bite.”

  “Upstairs,” Elias gasped.

  Lachlan licked Elias’s neck, then bit his shoulder again, enjoying the way Elias gasped and shuddered. His hands moved to Elias’s chest, where his fingers and thumbs tweaked Elias’s nipples, making them hard.

  He dipped his head and sucked a nipple into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue. Elias shuddered again, his hands fisting Lachlan’s hair. Lachlan moaned, enjoying the pain, and bit Elias’s nipple. When he heard the harsh groan, he did it again, then licked across Elias’s chest and flicked his other nipple with the tip of his tongue.

  “Bed, Lachlan,” Elias mumbled as he slid down the wall and practically lay on the stairs.

  “We’ll get there.”

  Lachlan sucked the nipple into his mouth as his hands grabbed Elias’s ass. It was nice and firm and fit his hands perfectly. He couldn’t wait to lick and bite it when they were naked. He moved a hand around to the front and rubbed Elias’s dick, feeling how hard it was, tracing the rigid shaft with his fingers. Hard and thick from what Lachlan could tell.

  Elias pushed his hand away and pulled at the button on his jeans, then unzipped them. Lachlan shoved his hand in and groaned when he touched warm, hard flesh. Elias trembled and groaned loudly. Pulling his dick out, Lachlan stroked it and looked down, watching the head appear, then disappear as he moved his hand up and down the hard length. The head was a deep purple color, wet too, with a bead of precome bubbling at the tip. Lachlan couldn’t wait to taste Elias.

  “Damn,” he whispered.

  Elias grunted, and Lachlan looked up, watching Elias’s eyelids flutter as Lachlan continued to stroke him. Elias’s head dropped onto the step beneath him, and Lachlan leaned over him, sucking the skin on Elias’s neck, marking him.

  “Don’t wanna come yet,” Elias gasped out, his body arching under Lachlan’s touch.

  Lachlan reluctantly released Elias’s dick and stood. “Let’s get upstairs, then. I really want to fuck you.”

  Elias groaned and let Lachlan pull him up. He dragged Lachlan behind him as he jogged up the stairs. Lachlan grinned, and when he entered the bedroom, he immediately kicked his sneakers off. Elias returned his grin as he stripped, and when they were both naked, he said, “Damn. Working on the farm looks good on you.”

  Lachlan sauntered over to Elias and trailed his fingers over Elias’s arms. “Like the Navy has for you.”

  “Less talk, Lachlan.”

  “Yeah. Less talk.”

  Lachlan pulled Elias’s head down and kissed him. Time for more than talking.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

  ELIAS GRABBED LACHLAN’S ass, feeling the plump fullness and squeezing it as he rubbed against him. The friction felt unbelievable, and he couldn’t wait to feel Lachlan in his ass, pounding him into the mattress. It had been months since he’d last had sex, and he wanted Lachlan more than any other man.

  He felt the bed behind him and sat down, spreading his legs and pulling Lachlan in. He leaned forward and rubbed his cheek on Lachlan’s abs, feeling them move beneath him. He turned his head and kissed his skin, inhaling deeply, taking in the man’s scent.

  Licking across the patch of skin in front of him, Elias felt Lachlan quiver and slid his tongue down until his chin bumped the head of Lachlan’s cock. He looked at it and groaned. It was a thing of beauty, hard and long with a spongy head. Elias gave in and licked across it, lapping up the precome and swallowing.

  Both men moaned, and Elias licked the head again. He moved down the shaft, licking and nibbling until he reached Lachlan’s low-hanging balls. He lifted them up and buried his nose in Lachlan’s groin, breathing deeply. All he smelled was Lachlan. Man, and sweat. Two smells Elias adored.

  “Eli,” Lachlan groaned. “Suck me.”

  Elias closed his eyes and opened his mouth, taking one of Lachlan’s balls into his mouth. He licked the skin, feeling it tighten. Lachlan’s hand held his head, the fingers curling in Elias’s short hair, holding him where he was.

  Elias moved up, licking up Lachlan’s shaft, and sucked in the spongy head. His tongue dipped into the slit, sucking up the precome and swallowing. He bobbed his head, taking as much of Lachlan’s dick as he could. Lachlan wasn’t long, but he had a nice thick dick that would stretch him wide and make Elias feel it for days.

  Lachlan pulled out and pushed Elias onto the bed, then crawled over him. Holding himself above Elias, he stared down, and Elias arched up, wanting more. Lachlan lowered himself slowly, and Elias moaned when he felt their naked bodies touch.

  He lifted his head and kissed Lachlan, who responded immediately by thrusting his tongue into Elias’s mouth. Elias groaned and wrapped his legs around Lachlan’s hips, moaning when their dicks rubbed.

  “Lube. Condoms.”

  Elias pointed to the table next to his bed. “Top drawer.”

  He watched Lachlan open the drawer and pull out the items and placed them onto the bed next to them, glancing at the walls. “No dick pics.”

  Elias chuckled. “No. They scrubbed them off.”

  “Shame. I was looking forward to seeing them. They sounded…artistic.”

  “We have two here.”

  “That we do,” Lachlan whispered before he kissed Elias.

  Elias arched up, rubbing against Lachlan, feeling their slippery dicks slide past each other. Precome acted as lube, and Elias shuddered at the sensation, loving how their dicks felt.

  He pulled Lachlan onto the bed with him and kissed him, sliding his tongue along Lachlan’s before sucking it into his mouth. His hands traced Lachlan’s muscles, feeling them tense. His body was hard, all muscles and golden skin.

  Elias spread his legs when Lachlan moved over him and moaned when Lachlan rubbed their dicks together. Elias grabbed Lachlan’s tight ass, the plump flesh filling his hands, and he squeezed the globes, causing Lachlan to gasp into their kiss.

  Elias closed his eyes when Lachlan moved toward his neck, and he tilted his head to the side so Lachlan could kiss him there. He licked and bit, and Elias shuddered, his dick leaking on his abs. He enjoyed the build-up to sex, the kisses, the touches, licks and bites. Lachlan was doing a great job.

  He licked down Elias’s neck and bit his shoulder, indenting the skin and leaving a mark. Elias wanted to wear Lachlan’s marks on his skin, so he could see them days later and be reminded of their night together.

  Lachlan mumbled something Elias didn’t hear. “What?”

  “Need your dick.”

  Elias gasped when Lachlan lunged down his body and sucked his dick into his mouth. Elias lifted his head, his eyes going wide at the sight of Lachlan tonguing the slit. “Yummy,” he whispered as he licked.

  “Thanks,” Elias grunted, his eyes closing as his toes curled. Fuck, Lachlan was good.

  He lay feeling pleasure build in his body, his balls drawing up. Lachlan stroked his shaft and sucked on the head, making Elias tremble. Lachlan’s warm, wet mouth and slippery tongue made Elias’s body squirm in bliss.

  When Lachlan tongued his nuts, Elias cried out, “Shit, Lach.”

  “I love having my nuts played with. Sucked and licked. Pulled and tugged. Some men don’t spend enough time enjoying another man’s body.”

  “I love nothing better than spending time learning what turns my partner on,” Elias gasped out as Lachlan’s thumb rubbed his perineum.

  He jerked when a wet finger rubbed his ass and wondered when Lachlan had grabbed the lube from the bed. He hadn’t noticed at all, but Elias wasn’t surprised. Lachlan’s mouth was wicked.

  Lachlan returned his mouth to Elias’s dick as his finger stroked his
hole. Elias hummed in pleasure, his ass sensitive to every touch. Lachlan’s fingertip pushed in, and Elias clenched around it. When it pulled out, he didn’t want it to leave, and he sighed when Lachlan pushed it in again.

  One finger became two, and Elias hissed at the slight burn. Lachlan paused and looked at him. Elias nodded in response to the unasked question. He was okay. Lachlan slowly pushed his fingers in and out as his mouth worked Elias’s dick. He trembled under the onslaught of emotions Lachlan made him feel. He felt so good, and he knew he could blow at any time.

  When Lachlan pushed a third finger in, Elias bit his lip, his head falling back onto the pillow. It didn’t take long for him to relax against the intrusion, and within seconds, he was moaning loudly. When Lachlan rubbed his prostate, Elias jerked and cried out.

  Lachlan kept rubbing that spot until Elias moved uncontrollably. When he slid his fingers free, Elias opened his eyes and watched through heavy lids as Lachlan rolled a condom down his dick. Elias licked his lips at the thought of having it inside his ass, pounding his body.

  Lachlan moved between Elias’s raised legs and leaned over his body. Elias reached up and gripped Lachlan’s biceps. He bit his lip when he felt the head of Lachlan’s dick rub on his hole before slowly pushing in. His hands tightened on Lachlan’s arms as the pressure increased until Elias felt the muscle give and Lachlan’s dick slid in.

  Lachlan paused, and Elias looked up at him. His eyes were blown, lips swollen and wet, and his cheeks were flushed with heat. Elias had never seen anything as gorgeous as Lachlan.

  Elias’s lips parted as Lachlan pushed in until their bodies met. He held himself above Elias, then slowly lowered his body. Elias wrapped his arms around Lachlan’s neck, pulling him down so he could kiss him. Their tongues tangled, and Elias moaned when Lachlan pulled out and pushed back in.

  Slowly at first before gradually Lachlan moved faster and harder until both men were grunting. Elias moved his body in time with Lachlan’s thrust, and Lachlan moved, changing the angle and causing Elias to shout out.
