One Step Too Close - Coffin Nails MC Louisiana (Gay Biker Stepbrother Romance) (Sex & Mayhem Book 6) (36 page)

“I’m gonna have to make
sure no one gets too close.” Jed walked out and wrapped a towel around his hips
again. Its whiteness made Jed’s skin look all the more delicious. “My man is
mine only.”

Ryder exhaled and
covered himself as well. “Good that we have an understanding,” he said, slowly
worming his fingers into Jed’s hand. It still felt alien to do this in a public
place, but he kept reminding himself that this kind of closeness was allowed
here. He was here with his boyfriend, and he could touch him without fear.

The bathhouse wasn’t
busy, just as the cashier said, but as they walked out into an open area with a
bar, a small pool, and a hot tub next to a sauna door, he could feel gazes
licking him up and down. Even if not for his looks, then for him being a fresh
face. Now that he thought about it, Ryder realized that in a place like this,
getting sex had to be the easiest thing on the planet. It was a bit of a scary
thought. Even with the easiest, horniest girls, it was still never as straightforward
as it probably was here. Just two guys with the same mindset, no questions
asked. It was hard for him to imagine Jed getting into an environment of this
kind and just fucking around to his heart’s content, yet coming back to an
empty house. He was sure it wouldn’t have been enough for Jed to just fuck guys
on the side and never mention it. The duality of his
chaste
life had
already been killing him.

Ryder hugged Jed,
careful not to catch anyone’s gaze for too long, but his feet instantly adjusted
to the rhythm of the music as they walked to the medium-size pool surrounded by
white columns. There were signs on the walls, directing patrons to other
facilities, but Ryder didn’t feel like getting his brain boiled in a sauna yet.

The rim of the pool was
decorated with a geometrical pattern, and with it being lit underwater, the few
men sitting on a ledge under the surface looked dark in comparison. Jed left
his towel on the side and walked in first, giving Ryder the most glorious view
of his ass. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at Ryder, making his heart
skip a beat. There was no one else Ryder wanted to keep around for the rest of
his life.

Ryder smiled, delving
into the warm water just in time to see two middle-aged guys sitting across
from them turn into a kiss. He almost tripped over when he saw it happen. He’d
never seen two men kiss like this in real life, and the sheer lust behind it
made his skin tingle, and his arms want to reach out to grab Jed.

The music drowned out
any whispering, so it felt intimate despite all the other people in the room. The
water made Ryder’s muscles relax and Jed walked deeper into the pool, turning
around and going backward. All that with a big grin on his face and smooth blue
water caressing his skin. It made Ryder imagine going to the ocean with Jed,
fucking in the sand, and learning to surf.

“I can’t remember the
last time I went to a pool like this one. Like, with saunas and shit,” Jed said
when Ryder approached him.

“Yeah? You wanna go more
often?” asked Ryder, making sure they were close enough for no one else to butt
in. He brushed his lips against Jed’s spicy-smelling shoulder and moved a wet
strand of hair with his nose.

It was worth coming here
and working through his own hangups, just to see the wide smile on Jed’s face.
“Fuck yeah, it’s in the admission price, right? If you paid for it, I’m gonna
sit my ass in that sauna.” He ran his thumb over Ryder’s stomach underwater.

Ryder gasped and leaned
in for a kiss. His arm effortlessly filled the spot behind Jed’s back as that
lovely, warm mouth opened up to him. Ryder wasn’t sure whether he wanted to
wait for what was already promised, but he’d go with what Jed wanted, even
though he now regretted leaving the showers. It could be a long time until they
got to be alone again.

Jed settled his hands on
Ryder’s hips, and the touch of his fingers never failed to rush excitement to
Ryder’s balls, the kiss only spurring it on. Thinking that he was naked around
guys who could as well be fantasizing about fucking him, made him uneasy, but
at least none of these guys would be a match for him in a fight.

Kissing Jed with an
audience was a thrill in itself, and his ears seemed to instantly open up,
searching for slurs that wouldn’t come their way here. Ryder sucked on Jed’s
delicious tongue and brushed his hand over his chest, curling his toes over the
mosaic at their feet. The place was like a different world altogether, far away
from the problems they had outside. He didn’t even care anymore whether the
guys around them thought he was gay or not. He just went with the flow,
enjoying the sweet, relaxing moments in Jed’s arms.

“So... why did you
believe Axe?” whispered Ryder after a while, letting his hand roam up and down
Jed’s thigh. He enjoyed the hairs floating against his fingertips and the
weightlessness of his own body in the water. “When was the last time he made
sense?”

Jed brushed his cheek
against Ryder’s. “It’s the baby thing. I was worried that maybe I’m deluded to
think that you’d choose me over a life with Jess. He— he said that maybe I
should go to Detroit, ‘cause there’s a gay VP there.”

Burning heat shot
straight to Ryder’s head and he squeezed his hand on Jed’s thigh. How dare
anyone try to banish his Jed out of their club? It wasn’t Axe’s place. “Fucker.
I don’t want her anymore,” whispered Ryder straight into Jed’s ear. “Don’t need
to be with her to be a father to my kid.”

Jed nodded. “He made it
seem like I’m an intruder. But he was serious for once, despite being a cunt. I
don’t think he’s told anyone about me.”

“Just let him try, and
he’ll be the one getting shipped off to Detroit,” hissed Ryder, pulling Jed
hard against him in the warm water. He briefly met the gaze of a man in his
forties, who’d replaced the kissing couple in the meantime, but he stopped
paying attention to anyone else as he kissed Jed’s temple again.

Jed grabbed Ryder’s hand
and pulled him out of the pool, toward the sauna. “Being under a gay VP could
teach him a fuckin’ lesson.”

Ryder grabbed their
towels and quickly followed, not really bothering to cover his dick anymore.
Instead, he threw the towel over his shoulder and rushed behind Jed. “He’s
under one now.”

Jed blinked and gave
Ryder a massive grin. “Fuck yeah.”

They walked past a
corridor that echoed with sounds, which made Ryder’s skin flush even darker,
but the sauna space was easy enough to find. Two men walked past them out of
the dry sauna, straight for a cold dip nearby. Ryder smiled and hugged Jed,
making his way to the other door, which tempted him with blue mosaics visible
through the small window.

The smell of wood and
sweat, Jed so close to him completely naked, and the heat coming from the
recently opened room had blood rushing all over his body. Since they’d gotten
out of the private room, Ryder’s cock had never gone completely soft. The
constant tension between him and Jed was so intense that despite an increasing
need to fuck, he’d be willing to extend the wait just to keep feeling that kick
of arousal simmering beneath his skin.

He leaned in and kissed
Jed’s mouth as he pushed open the door and stepped into wet heat that could
boil his brain if he stayed in this room long enough. The light was dimmed,
illuminating the tiny blue and golden tiles that lined all the walls, the
floors, even the ceiling. It soon became clear that they weren’t the only ones
inside, but it took Ryder several seconds to realize that the couple in the
corner wasn’t just making out, and his head imploded.

A part of him wanted to
grab Jed and cover his eyes. A man was sucking another one off, and the guy
sitting only glanced up at them before pushing his fingers into short hair of
the naked man kneeling in front of him. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a
third man sitting nearby and watching.

Jed stalled midstep. “Do
we stay?” he whispered into Ryder’s ear, clearly not wanting to get his money’s
worth anymore.

Ryder cradled Jed to his
chest. He didn’t know. What was the etiquette here? Couples did stuff like that
at club parties all the time, and he didn’t really mind as long as he wasn’t the
one involved, but watching two dudes? His cock said yes, but his mind wasn’t
that certain. His breath caught when the top leaned against the tiled backrest,
like a sated lion, and gestured at them to take a seat. It was almost as if he
were basking in the pleasure of being the center of everyone’s attention.

The guy on his knees
turned to look over his shoulder, and sent them a grin as he started jerking
off, his ass flexing and tensing. Jed smiled back, but he didn’t look all that
sure what to do either.

“You wanna stay?”
uttered Ryder, playing with Jed’s fingers. His stomach was clenching, but
whether with excitement or fear—he wasn’t sure.

Jed looked back at him.
“I— I’ll pass. You?”

Ryder chuckled and
nuzzled Jed’s cheek. It was too cute for words. “Maybe another time?” he asked,
already pulling Jed back to the door.

“I want to focus on
you.” Jed squeezed Ryder’s hand tighter as they walked past the pool, and
toward the showers again.

Ryder exhaled and buried
his fingers in Jed’s long, wet hair. It was a relief to hear that Jed wasn’t
interested in sampling any of the sweets that were so available for the taking
here, even if the idea of spending some time here seemed quite attractive to
Ryder. He wasn’t used to being checked out, and yet as they walked back to
their room, he couldn’t get the feeling of gazes glued to his skin out of his
mind. He wasn’t sure whether he liked that feeling or not, but what he was
certain of was that he’d like to get more comfortable around male bodies that
were not forbidden.

As they finally walked
into the corridor leading to their room, the first door was open, and they both
slowed down slightly, watching a guy lie naked on the bed, peach-like ass
directed at the open door. Ryder had an idea what the message was here, and he
flushed, looking away. He’d never just offer himself up like this, not to any
stranger who might want to have a taste. He knew not everyone viewed it this
way—he knew many female hangarounds who didn’t—but there was something
incredibly intimate about letting someone else into one’s body, a trust that
he’d never offer to a stranger.

Jed surprised him with a
kiss to his shoulder once they reached their door. “Thanks for taking me here.
It’s weird but fun. And hot.” He smiled, his blue eyes looking green in the
yellow light.

Ryder smiled and took
the band with the key off his wrist to open their door. “I kinda... didn’t do
my research how I should have. If I were alone... it would be a good place,” he
said and walked in, turning on the light. In fact, this was the perfect place
for a guy looking for just a bit of fun on the side.

“You wouldn’t be doing
shit if you were here alone. You won’t be coming here on your own, get it?” Jed
followed him inside and wrapped his arms around Ryder’s waist, hugging him from
the back. All of a sudden his erection poked at Ryder’s ass, and what was about
to happen became real. Ryder took a deep breath and locked the door, trying to
focus on how it felt to be the prey for once. Whatever happened, he did trust
Jed with this.

“No. I will not be
coming here alone,” Ryder said, dropping the key to the floor. The metallic
clang was so loud it could shatter the pleasant ambience of their quiet
hideaway. “You’d kill me.”

Jed licked up Ryder’s
nape. “You know I have anger management issues. Mrs. Itke told me in fifth
grade.” He rocked his hips against Ryder’s ass, creating a strange anticipation
in Ryder’s body..

“You wouldn’t have to
know if I just came over to relax in the sauna...” Ryder teased.

Jed bit down on his
shoulder blade. “Now you’re just fucking asking for it. We will only be going
to this kind of place together.”

Ryder laughed, rather
liking Jed’s attitude. He’d seen him be all cocky around girls, and there was
something about his reactions that just pushed Ryder’s buttons. “Or what?”

“Or I’ll leave you with
blue balls for weeks. You’d be begging me to come back. And I’d take Daisy with
me. But I bet you’d be missing my ass more.” Jed slid his hands down Ryder’s
stomach, and gripped his cock in a steady hold.

The gesture squeezed a
low moan out of Ryder’s throat, and he rested his forehead against the door.
“You’d never do that. You like my balls far too much.”

“Try me. Try fucking
around, and I’ll show you hell.” Jed pushed him against the door and slid his
cock between Ryder’s asscheeks. Jed’s dick was rock-hard and already slippery
with precum.

Ryder took a deep
breath, shuddering as he adjusted to the thick length pulsing against the
sensitive inner side of his buttocks. He was hit by bouts of heat and freezing
cold, and at this moment, he really wanted to ask what to expect. How much
would it hurt the first time? But he kept his mouth shut, not to discourage
Jed, even as his whole body both wanted it and didn’t.

“But not before I show
you heaven…” Jed said and stalled. “Fuck. I’m really not good with words am I?”
He laughed and licked up Ryder’s spine between the shoulder blades and up to
the nape. “Bed?”
