Between the stinging in his scalp and the delicious feeling of Ethan’s cock filling him, Beau was quickly forgetting he’d agreed to hold off.
“E, it’s too good,” Beau warned. “Too fucking good.”
“You wanna come? Is that what you’re telling me?” Ethan asked, his guttural tone a reflection of how close he must be as well.
“Yes,” Beau told him. “Fuck me harder.”
Ethan released Beau’s hair and grabbed his other shoulder as he began slamming into him, over and over. Fast. Hard. Amazing. Beau’s body lit up from the inside, that telltale sign sparking in the base of his spine.
“That’s it, baby,” Ethan growled. “Come for me.”
Beau didn’t hold back, his dick jerking, spasming as his orgasm tore through him.
“Fuck yes!” Ethan groaned from behind him as his body stilled, his hands still digging into his shoulders as he held him there.
As they settled, the steam still billowing around them, Beau pressed his forehead against the wall. Right there, at that moment, he let the past go. There was nothing he could do to change it.
“I love you,” Ethan whispered against his ear. “I love you with all that I am.”
And that right there was Beau’s future. The only thing he needed. “I love you, too.”
Chapter Forty
By the time Friday night rolled around, Beau was looking forward to a couple of hours out of the house. It had actually been Ethan’s idea, much to Beau’s surprise. And when he told him they were going to Moonshiners to meet up with his brothers, Beau hadn’t questioned him. He didn’t care where they went, he just wanted a beer.
With that prospect in sight, Beau pulled into the parking lot of Moonshiners with Ethan right there beside him. The night had been flawless, dinner phenomenal as always. They had even shared a shower before they got dressed and headed out. And now, as Beau pulled the truck to a stop, he glanced around the parking lot, hoping like hell there wouldn’t be anything to fuck up their night out together.
Making his way around the front of the truck, Beau met up with Ethan on the porch and his body hardened the instant Ethan put his hand on his back, herding him toward the door. He suddenly felt too big for his own skin, elated from the fact that Ethan touched him in public.
Beau opened the door to Moonshiners, and he walked inside, Ethan right behind him. Noticing Travis, Zane and Gage immediately, Beau considered heading to the back where they were, but Ethan once again directed him, this time toward the bar.
“Two beers, Mack,” Ethan ordered as the bartender glanced up with a tentative grin.
Beau did his best to hide his surprise. He wasn’t quite sure what he was expecting for their first night out as a real couple, but this certainly hadn’t been it.
“Sure thing, E.”
A minute later, they were in the back with Ethan’s brothers and his brother-in-law. The men were talking – although arguing was probably a more apt description – about the resort.
“Just wait till Sawyer gets here,” Zane protested. “He’ll agree with me.”
“Not likely. If they have to choose, they won’t pick your club,” Gage laughed, his beer bottle halfway to his lips, an amused smirk on his face.
Beau didn’t even try to follow the conversation because he knew it would change soon enough. As he stood listening to the rough grumble of the three large males, he glanced around the bar. The first thing he noticed was Kylie and V weren’t there. He didn’t even have time to wonder about that when his gaze landed on a group of guys sitting at a table near the front.
Jimmy Reardon must’ve brought a fucking army tonight. There were seven guys with him, and not one of them was Ricky Dillinger. That was about the only positive in the situation. Doing the math in his head, Beau figured between the five of them, they stood a pretty damn good chance. Even against eight.
Ethan must’ve noticed what had captured Beau’s attention because he moved up beside him, his arm brushing against his. “We’re not gonna let them get to us tonight.”
Beau noticed the way Ethan stressed the word not. When Beau glanced over to his lover, he noticed his expression was deadly serious.
“He’s done enough damage.”
Wasn’t that the truth?
Didn’t mean Beau wasn’t interested in a little payback. Rather than tell Ethan that, he simply nodded.
The bastard had sent Ethan’s world into a tailspin for almost a decade, and now it seemed as though he was back permanently. For months, they had all been going to Moonshiners on a weekly basis, and Beau didn’t recall Jimmy being a regular. And if he had been, Beau wondered how they hadn’t seen the jabs and animosity directed at Ethan. Probably because Ethan had kept himself isolated, but it was hard for him to believe that no one had known.
