Straight-Bait Roommate

What happens when the straight best friend you’ve been secretly in love with for nine years moves into your bed and asks for kissing "practice"?

Drew
My life is officially in boxes. Freshly divorced, broke, and sleeping on a couch, I have nowhere else to go when my best friend Wes offers me his spare room. The only problem? The "spare room" is an oversized closet. Which means we’re sharing his bed. I’ve always been straight, but waking up tangled in Wes’s sheets—and entirely too close to his body—is doing something strange to my head. When I decide it's time to get back into the dating game, I panic. I’m rusty. I need practice. And Wes is right there, willing to help. It’s just a kiss between friends, right?

Here is the golden rule of being in love with your straight best friend: you hide it. I’ve been hiding it for nine years, through his wedding, his marriage, and his divorce. But having Drew Callahan walking around my apartment half-naked and sleeping inches away from me is testing every ounce of my self-control. When he asks me to teach him how to kiss again, I know I should say no. But I can't. I've never been able to deny him anything.

It’s supposed to be practice. A safe, controlled experiment. But the second my mouth touches his, all the rules burn to the ground. Drew is looking at me differently now. Touching me differently. And as the lines between roommates and lovers blur into nights of breathless, addictive exploration, I’m left holding a terrifying ultimatum.

A dream job just opened up on the other side of the country. I have to decide if I'm finally ready to walk away, or if Drew is finally ready to ask me to stay.
