Linc dragged his jaw over the side of Avery’s neck, letting stubble prickle over his skin. “I thought you might do it to me.”
“Oh.” Avery’s eyelids fluttered, and his knees wobbled. They didn’t swap very often. Avery preferred to bottom and Linc was only too happy to do the fucking, but sometimes he wanted Avery inside of him, and Avery really couldn’t pass up the chance.
Linc’s teeth nipped at his jaw just below his ear. “Want to feel you while you’re gone.”
Avery slipped his hands inside Linc’s pants and under the elastic of his boxer briefs, brushing over the smooth skin of his ass. They were going to have to be fast, and the lube was down the hall, but—
He bumped against something firm and smooth where he’d been expecting the soft resistance of Linc’s hole. He ran a fingertip over it, his pulse speeding up at Linc’s inhale as Avery continued his slow inspection.
“What’s this?” He knew. Oh, man, he totally knew, but he wanted to hear Linc say it.
“People are coming. Didn’t want to waste time.”
Avery nearly collapsed, tracing the edge of the silicon plug and bumping the base with a knuckle, but Linc groaned and said, “Please,” like he was dying, which made everything worth it.
“I’ll get the lube.”
“In my pocket.”
He loved this man an awful lot. Avery undid his pants and slicked himself up in seconds, while Linc dropped his jeans to below his hips and pressed back from the counter. The black plug pulled out with an obscene sound and Avery took a second to enjoy the pink flex of Linc’s hole before he lined himself up and slid in.
“Oh, fuck,” Linc groaned and arched back. “Oh, fuck, that’s good. I needed this so bad.”
Avery gripped him tight and pumped into him, wasting no time. Linc liked it hard and fast on a regular day, and the added prospect of company showing up at the apartment door spurred Avery on in a way he hadn’t expected.
Linc kept up a steady stream of praise and encouragement as Avery wrapped an arm around his midsection, holding him close. “Yes. Yes, Red. Yes. That’s it. I need it. Just like that. Oh, fuck, just like that.”
It didn’t take much like this. It never did. Not with Linc writhing and begging while his body held Avery tight and his words told Avery he was perfect in every way.
He came hard, groaning against the back of Linc’s neck. The spasm of Linc’s muscles around him said he was coming too.
“Oh God,” Linc panted. “That was amazing. I’m so glad you had to run out to the store so I could get ready.”
Avery laughed and kissed his shoulder. “You are an evil human being.”
Linc stood up straight, letting Avery slip out of him with a hiss. A tea towel was clenched in Linc’s fist, and he carefully pulled away from Avery’s softening cock. “Guess I’ll be doing laundry while you’re away.”
“Hello?” a voice called from the direction of the front door.
They scrambled, doing up clothes, and Avery nearly took a fist to his eye as they danced around each other. Linc dashed down the hall toward the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind him. Avery did his best to call a casual “Hi!” coming around the corner to where—holy shit, they were all there. Vasquez and Wanda were in the doorway, with Avery’s aunt and uncle behind them, and Linc’s two sisters and nephews after that.
“We were all parking at the same time,” Aunt Brenda said with a smile. “Isn’t that a wonderful coincidence?”
“Uh, yeah.” Avery ran a hand through his hair and then over his body, making sure everything was where it should be.
Vasquez eyed him. “Where’s Linc?”
Avery grinned. “Don’t you mean Scott?”
She scoffed. “He’s not on my truck anymore. Scott’s dead to me. He’s Linc now. Where is he?”
“Just in the bathroom.”
“Brian sent more baby pictures.” Vasquez leaned forward to kiss his cheek, dropping her voice to a hoarse whisper. “Also, your fly’s down.”
His face heated so much it must be bright crimson, but Vasquez smirked and led the entourage farther into the apartment, while Aunt Brenda told Avery all about how she’d decided to use mustard in her quiche recipe this time. He surreptitiously did his pants up and hoped no one noticed.
Lacey and Lilah herded the two boys toward the living room, and Troy let out a gigantic sneeze.
