WAITING ON THE FRONTsteps, RJ’s excitement flared as a familiar maroon vehicle came down the driveway. He smiled and waved as Jonah parked the car off to the side and got out to grab his duffle bag. RJ waited for him to turn around, and without a word, drew Jonah in for a kiss. As before, time seemed to stop. RJ reveled in soft lips, the taste of his mouth, and that indescribable scent.
RJ shuddered as Jonah moved closer with a soft moan. With their chests pressed together, he could feel the wild staccato beat of the man’s heart, the heat of his body, and the rumble of that growly thing he did. Though he loathed breaking contact, RJ pulled back to search Jonah’s blissed-out face.
“I missed you, Jo. So much.”
Jonah nodded.
“Me too. You’re all I can think about.”
RJ smiled, pleased to know his feelings weren’t one-sided. He took Jonah’s bag and led the way inside for the nickel tour. When they reached the bedroom, RJ set the duffle down while Jonah looked around and then waggled his eyebrows. RJ felt himself blush, though his darker skin prevented it from being too obvious. He grabbed Jonah’s hand, and they went back out into the main room.
“What do you think?”
“This is nice. Are you comfortable here?”
“It’s great for a furnished rental. Of course, I would have decorated differently and maybe turned the other bedroom into a workout space. By winter, I hope to find a place to buy or maybe have something built. What about you?”
Jonah’s face lit up.
“Right now, I’m living in a three-bedroom mobile home, but my new place is under construction. It should be finished sometime in the fall. I’d love to show it to you some time.”
“Sounds great, but I thought no one was allowed on the Preserve except for the people who live there.”
Jonah’s smile faltered slightly.
“Well, yes, we don’t encourage a lot of visitors, but as my guest, you would be welcome. The property isamazing! I know you’ll love it.”
“I look forward to it. Are you ready to head out? I need to visit the market today, and then we’ll go for lunch afterward—if that’s OK with you.”
“Whatever you need. I’m only along for the ride.”
Unable to resist, RJ leaned in for another kiss. Jonah reached around, gripped RJ firmly by the ass, and yanked him closer—eliciting a startled grunt from the man. Now plastered together from thigh to chest, their erections solidified as the kiss deepened. Feeling adventurous, Jonah ground against his mate’s hefty cock, resulting in matching groans. Despite layers of clothing, heated sparks danced wherever their bodies touched.
Both starved for oxygen, the pair pulled back far enough to take a few shaky breaths, nearly overcome with lust. Though Jonah’s wolf howled for more, he moved his grip from ass to waist and put a few inches of space between them. There were two choices—shopping now and sex later, or sex for the rest of the day and forget the shopping. Voice husky with desire, Jonah spoke into the charged air.
“If we don’t go,right now, I’m going to strip you naked and have my way with you.”
Eyes wide, RJ whimpered.
“God knows I want you, Jo, but you don’t play fair. I’m going to be thinking about this all day.”
Jonah’s eyes twinkled.
“Good. Then we have something to look forward to later.”
RJ held onto Jonah’s hand while he locked up and led him to the truck’s passenger side. There, he opened the door and helped him in before climbing in behind the wheel. It took only moments to reach Highway Two, and instead of turning left towards Gladstone, RJ headed east and brought the truck up to speed. Jonah looked confused.
“Weren’t we going to the market? All the grocery stores are back the other way.”
RJ smiled, turning the radio down so they could talk.
“Sorry! I meant the Roadside Market in Cooks. They have some great products there, and I need a few things.”
Jonah briefly looked concerned and then shrugged it off with a laugh.
“Actually, I know the people who own it. One of my best friends, Lilly, works there, and I’ll introduce you to her.”
