The Best Man

Chad has loved John for years.

Not the way a best friend is supposed to love another man. Not the way a best man is supposed to feel about the groom he's about to stand beside at the altar.

For a week before the wedding, Chad stays at John's house to help prepare for the big day. Late nights. Old memories. Lingering glances that last a little too long. The kind of tension that builds when two men who know each other too well suddenly start seeing each other differently.

John is about to marry the woman he's been with for years. Everything about his life is planned, certain, and expected.

Until the lines between friendship and desire begin to blur.

Until a single moment changes everything.

In the quiet hours before the wedding, temptation grows impossible to ignore, and the heat between them becomes something neither of them can pretend away. What begins as a dangerous spark quickly turns into a wildfire of secret touches, stolen kisses, and late-night confessions.

But when the wedding day arrives, Chad must face the one question he's been trying to outrun.

Is he really just the best man…

Or the man who was meant to have the groom all along?
