Chapter Two
Jonah didn’t know what he’d been expecting, but it wasn’t for Ez to surge out of his chair the moment their mouths touched. Ez grabbed him around the waist, walking them backwards until he pressed Jonah against the wall.
Jonah moaned into his mouth. He sucked on Ez’s tongue, trying to pull him even closer, despite the fact they were already flush together. Ez grabbed at Jonah’s hips and groaned when Jonah thrust forward.
Fuck. He was already hard from one kiss. Whatever Ez was, it was really working for him.
He twined his arms around Ez’s neck, pushing up on his toes to get even closer. Ez growled and bit Jonah’s lower lip and Jonah whined, pulling back only to suck in air. He felt wrecked already, but he didn’t care.
“We need to… slow down,” Ez managed. When Jonah met his gaze, he let out a surprised sound. Ez’s eyes were entirely black, with no hint of iris or white in them.
It was… kind of hot.
“Why?”
Ez closed his eyes, leaning forward to rest their foreheads together.
When he opened his eyes again, they were back to normal, and something in Jonah’s stomach twisted.
Although, he couldn’t be too upset about it – Ez hadn’t let go, and the evidence pressing against Jonah’s stomach said he was just as into this as Jonah was.
“Why do we need to slow down, Ez?” Jonah asked.
“I don’t want to overwhelm you.”
Jonah snorted. “I don’t think the others were too worried about that.”
He slid one hand down Ez’s chest, marvelling at the feel of muscle through the fabric of his shirt. Was this even his true form? It seemed doubtful.
What was he hiding?
“What are you?” Jonah asked, looking up at Ez through his eyelashes.
Ez growled and kissed him again. Jonah submitted immediately, letting Ez plunder his mouth as he writhed against him. He felt so close to the edge – but how? They were both fully clothed, and though they were pressed together, it wasn’t like Ez’s hand was on his cock.
“Fuck,” Ez muttered against Jonah’s mouth, and Jonah whined again. He wanted more. He wanted everything.
“I’m an incubus,” Ez said.
That was just enough to snap Jonah out of his lust-filled haze, though he still felt on edge as his thoughts caught up to him. “You…? What?”
The corner of Ez’s mouth twitched. “I’m an incubus.”
“What, like a sex demon?”
Ez rolled his eyes, but there was still enough amusement in his expression that Jonah was sure he hadn’t offended him.
“I suppose you could say that. My true form and powers are what make me so good at running this company.”
“Yeah, I’ll bet.” Jonah ran a hand down Ez’s chest again, mouth watering as his mind began to spin. However good the other guys had been – and, fuck, they’d all been incredible – Ez was promising to be even better.
“Jonah,” Ez warned. He caught Jonah’s hand as it reached the waistband of his trousers. “I am telling you this because we need to be careful. It was why I couldn’t watch you with Rafe. I don’t want to lose control.”
“Why not?”
“My powers are overwhelming. They’re designed to be. I don’t want you to do anything you do not wish to.”
Jonah pushed up onto his toes again and kissed Ez softly. Ez let out a shuddering breath against his lips.
“I’m sure you’d never make me do something I didn’t want,” Jonah said, “And I think I’d be up for anything with you anyway, but that’s not what I mean.”
Ez huffed out a laugh. “Thank you. But I think you are underestimating what could happen.”
Jonah remembered the week before. He and Ez had been feet apart, hadn’t so much as touched, and Jonah had been almost overcome with lust because of one look.
He kissed Ez’s cheek, then his jaw, and when Ez exposed his throat, Jonah kissed him there, too.
“I want you,” he said against Ez’s skin. “All of you. I handled the others, didn’t I?”
He leaned back, resting against the wall. Their hips were still pressed together, but there was space between their chests.
“You did,” Ez replied, and his eyes flashed dark for a moment. “You did an excellent job.”
Jonah preened. When Ez leaned forward, Jonah stopped him with a hand on his chest.
“So…”
“It is not that we cannot,” Ez said, gesturing with one hand at the way they were standing. “It is only that I must not lose control.”
Jonah licked his lips. Ez’s eyes traced the movement and when Jonah spoke, his voice came out pitched lower. “What if you did? Have you ever lost control before?”
Ez visibly swallowed. “No, I have not.”
“So, how do you know it’d be a bad thing?”
“I could not stop if I did.”
Jonah moved his hand and leaned in, biting down Ez’s jaw until his lips brushed Ez’s ear. “I don’t believe you.”
Ez snarled. He turned his head, and their lips met in another ferocious kiss.
This time, Ez wrapped his arms around Jonah’s waist and Jonah hopped up, so Ez was pinning him to the wall, Jonah’s legs around Ez’s hips.
Their cocks brushed together, and Jonah sobbed into Ez’s mouth, suddenly desperate to get off.
The air felt charged around them, like a thousand soft caresses against Jonah’s skin, and he sucked on Ez’s lower lip even as Ez growled again.
He felt the moment Ez dragged back control. He slowed the kiss, pulling back slightly, and Jonah let out a sigh even as he clutched at Ez’s shoulders.
“Alright,” Jonah said against Ez’s mouth. He hadn’t opened his eyes. “Let’s do it this way. You go sit in your chair, and I’ll do whatever I want to you.”
Ez was silent for a long time, his entire body tense. When Jonah opened his eyes, Ez’s were black again, and Jonah shivered at the feel of those incubus eyes on him.
“If you want,” Jonah offered.
Ez nodded softly. He leaned forward, his weight fully pinning Jonah against the wall as he stole another, shorter kiss.
Jonah bit back a groan when Ez lowered him gently to his feet. He seemed to have to physically make himself let go of Jonah before he walked stiffly over to his chair. Ez all but threw himself into it, legs splayed and the hard ridges of his cock clearly outlined in his tight trousers.
Jonah’s mouth watered. He grinned when Ez met his gaze. Ez was riding some kind of edge, that was clear, and Jonah was determined to tip them both right over it.
He strode across the room and climbed into Ez’s lap, twisting his hands into Ez’s hair. Ez groaned when Jonah forced his head back. Jonah lowered his face, but when Ez’s eyes fluttered shut, mouth expecting a kiss, he went still.
“You’re gonna let go for me,” Jonah said, his voice dark. He didn’t know where this side of himself was coming from, or why it hadn’t been present with the others, but he knew what he wanted.
“Jonah…”
“You’re gonna give me whatever I want,” Jonah replied.
