“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…”
