Any Old Diamonds doesn't have immediate lust on both sides. I'd say that the characters for sure think the other is hot right away, but Alec isn't really into Jerry until Jerry aggressively flirts with him, and then Alec flirts back. They start hooking up relatively early on in the book, and then circumstances and machinations complicate things.
A Seditious Affair starts after the main couple have been secretly meeting for semi-anonymous CNC sex for a year, but it's safe to say they had immediate lust (they fucked on their first meeting) and had an immediate connection. Yes, it's the second part of 3 novels (with associated shorter pieces, too) called "Society of Gentlemen," which in-universe is the name a group of queer, mostly rich guys/lords who meet together and protect each other. Each novel/story is about a different couple. They do take place in chronological order, but you absolutely don't need to read them in order, and reading the 1st novel in the series actually spoils a bit of the identity porn fun in Seditious Affair. I read that one first and had no problems whatsoever.
