Without pulling so much as a fraction out of him, Evan jerked his hips forward in small hammering thrusts. Jesse’s cock pulsed with every push. Evan drew his length out halfway, and he instantly missed the deep pressure. A choked whimper escaped him, followed by a high cry as Evan slammed into him, causing him to fall toward the headboard before he caught himself, his body throbbing from the impact.

Evan stopped and eased back, fearing it’d been too much for him, but as he did, Jesse moved with him, as though desperate to keep every inch of him inside him.

Jesse looked at him. “Again, Ev. Do it as hard as you can.”

The need on Jesse’s face severed the last of Evan’s self-control. He rammed forward. Jesse dropped his head between his stretched out arms, expelling a loud moan. Gripping Jesse’s hips, Evan pounded into him. Jesse’s arms trembled with the effort of keeping his elbows locked against the strength of Evan’s thrusts, each one driving gasps and high cries from him. His cock ached, but he couldn’t release the headboard to give it the attention it wanted. From the warmth circulating in his sac, he didn’t think he would have to in order to reach climax. At that thought, Evan’s right hand released his hip, his fingers clamped around his shaft.

A high groan came from between Jesse’s clenched teeth, not only at the overwhelming pleasure of finally having his organ touched, but also at the way Evan stroked him, hard and rough, tugging and pulling. Never in his life had someone taken possession of him like Evan was. It felt like his body belonged more to Evan than to himself.

Evan brought his torso over Jesse’s back, thrusting faster. With his other hand, he grabbed a fistful of Jesse’s hair and yanked his head back and to the side. A choked breath shook in Jesse’s throat, his muscles tightened as his ecstasy built. Evan nipped down his neck, then reaching the tender curve near the shoulder, sank his teeth into his skin in a solid bite.

The pain of the bite intertwined with Jesse’s pleasure. He bucked back hard against him, yelling Evan’s name as his climax burst free. A rumbling groan came from Evan’s throat. His teeth still gripped Jesse’s skin as he pushed every inch of his length inside him, releasing deeper in him than ever before.

Evan dropped his torso down on Jesse’s sweat slick back, which rose and fell under him as Jesse tried to catch his breath. Though his arms and legs felt weak, Jesse supported their combined weight.

Evan wrapped his arms around Jesse’s waist, pressing their bodies tighter together. He nuzzled into Jesse’s hair. “Why can’t I control myself with you?” he whispered. “I have no defenses against you.”

Jesse turned his head to look at him. Evan’s face remained buried in his hair. There was a vulnerability in Evan’s voice that made an ache rise in his chest. He didn’t know what Evan was referring to, but he was positive it wasn’t sex. He laid one hand over Evan’s, silently telling him his defenses were no longer needed.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Jesse sat beside Evan on the steps of the Field Museum of Natural History. He picked at the frozen lemonade cup in his hand. Even though he had a blast spending the morning meandering around the museum, he couldn’t shake his concern about Evan. He thought he made a breakthrough on Tuesday with the amazing afternoon and evening they spent together, but the next morning Evan had collected his composed character once again and took him along to purchase a Porsche Cayenne.

Granted, the last time he’d gone shopping for a vehicle, he and Kenny had cruised around in Kenny’s battered old Honda Civic as they scoured every used car lot on the South Side looking for a truck. So rolling into a Porsche dealer in a Ferrari 612 was a pretty mind-blowing experience. It led to further astonishment when Evan climbed into his new metallic black, fully loaded Cayenne Turbo S and tossed him the Ferrari keys. And he had been so excited the night before when Evan let him drive it to pick up Chinese food for dinner. That was nothing compared to being able to get on the gas on the highway.

But as much fun as playing with the cars was, it served as a distraction that gave Evan an excuse to not talk about himself all day. When evening came and Evan suggested they go for a swim, they wrestled in the water, one thing led to another, and before Jesse knew it, all opportunities to learn about him had passed.

This morning in the museum, he asked Evan if he would come with him to the studio on Monday, to which Evan replied, “Look at that crazy lookin’ turtle,” as he strolled away to inspect the fossilized prehistoric creature. Despite feeling a twinge of discouragement at Evan’s elusive ways, he was far from admitting defeat.

Evan pushed his Yankees cap up so it rested on the top of his head and leaned back on the step behind him. “This was a pretty good idea.”

“I was afraid you’d be bored. You really liked it?”

“Yeah, those dinosaur bones were pretty cool. I like stuff like that.”

Jesse looked at Evan through his sunglasses. “What other kind of stuff do you like?”

Evan turned to him with a smirk. “You know, since we’ve already slept together, you don’t have to pretend to be interested in my likes and dislikes.”

Jesse exhaled a frustrated sigh. “You’re really difficult, you know that? Do you ever just answer a question?”

“I didn’t think I had to. You grew up reading all the little music mags. I bet you already know my favorite food and color.”

Jesse shook his head and chopped at the frozen lemonade with the plastic spoon.

Evan watched his frustrated movements, then smiled. “What do you want to know?”

“Tell me anything about yourself that’s not music related.”

“I like the Giants and the Yankees.”

“I like the Bears and the White Sox, big freakin’ whoop. C’mon.”

“Okay. I prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate.”

“That’s fine,” Jesse grumbled. “I don’t need to know anything about you outside of the bedroom, anyway.”

Evan leaned toward him, putting his lips to Jesse’s ear. “No? Then how’s this? I love how noisy you are when we play. All those sexy little sounds you make get me so hot.” He let out a throaty moan and flicked his tongue over the two earrings in Jesse’s right earlobe. “And you’re so gorgeous, I want you all the time.”
