Synopsis
Would you live a lie to hold onto the one you love?
Dean and Jason are best friends, like brothers since boyhood, now architecture students and college roommates. They’ve always had each other’s back, but when one walks in on the other with another man, everything changes. How do you explain to your best friend that he’s the one you’ve always wanted, that until now your life has been a lie?
Desperation and shame are two dirty words that run through Jason’s veins. He carries the scars from a wayward priest who stole his innocence and left him shattered. Meanwhile for years he’s watched Dean pursuing woman after woman, as his own heart slowly breaks.
When their world blows apart, they learn the powerful bond between them has more fire than either understood. Can two broken souls find the light in their darkness and come together to make a whole, or will sins of the past be forever unforgiven?
Excerpt
“What started all of this
tonight? First I walk in on you having sex with yourself … then you
grill me about having sex with Ramon … and then you suggest we have
sex.” He rakes his fingers through his hair. “You’re making me
crazy, dude. How much did you drink anyway?”
“Enough to loosen up and
let my mind go places it normally doesn’t.”
His eyes light up. “I’ll
say.”
“Hey, I’m really curious
now. Will you let me fuck you? I promise I’ll follow what you want
and take it slow.”
“Oh Jesus. Are you
serious? So more experimenting, huh?”
“I think it’ll help me
understand more about you.”
“You know when I said I
needed more, this isn’t exactly what I meant. Don’t get me wrong,
the idea of you fucking me is making me hard as hell, but it’ll
just complicate things even more.”
“It doesn’t have to
complicate things. Is it really so crazy to just want to make each
other feel good?” I pause for a moment. “Come on, JJ.”
Lifting myself off the bed,
I slowly approach him. As I get closer, I press my naked body into
him so he’s up against the doorjamb, then I boldly rub my palm over
his hard cock that’s trapped in his pajama bottoms.
I take a sharp breath
because I’m shocked I’m even suggesting fucking my best friend.
This is crazy, but feeling myself against him and imagining him naked
under me is turning me on like a rocket with a sparking fuse.
He stands frozen, every part
of him perfectly still, and then he gasps for air. “Please, Dean,
please tell me you aren’t toying with me.”
I press my face into his
neck. “I’m not toying with you, man. I don’t know what’s
happening to me, but I have all these confusing feelings and my
curiosity is through the roof. I’ve been so damn restless lately,
and suddenly I have a feeling that if I turn a corner, I might find
myself right where I need to be.”
Jason slides his arm along
my lower back and curves his fingers around my side, then pulls me
closer. “Don’t make me hope for something, and then crush me. I
wouldn’t be able to take it. Our friendship means everything to me.
It’s why I’m still standing and fighting for a future, when for a
long time I wasn’t sure if I deserved one.”
I pull my head back so we
can be face to face. It guts me to see so much pain in his eyes. Why
the hell didn’t I see all of this before? He’s my best friend,
dammit. I should have known he was hurting.
He shakes his head. “I
can’t lose you, Dean. I can’t. Tread carefully, man.” His eyes
are glazed like he’s fighting back tears.
I take his hand and guide
him into my room. “You aren’t going to lose me. Maybe this whole
thing of me learning your secrets happened to bring us closer.”
“I want that,” he
whispers, and then more softly he murmurs, “I want you.”
