Ethan
Sutton had come to the stunning revelation that he’d fallen in love with his
best friend, Sebastian Young. Although friends since childhood,
Ethan vowed to keep his feelings for Sebastian under wraps and live the rest of
his life with this one secret between them rather than risk a lifelong
connection and never see him again. But when they move into their
own apartment at the start of their third year of college, can Ethan keep his
feelings from showing when they live so close together?
Sebastian Young had an epiphany about Ethan at the end of
last year and arranged for the shared apartment he’d found over the summer to
be closer to Ethan and see if a relationship could develop between
them. But as they settle into their lives in a new place with such
close quarters, ex-girlfriends, nosy downstairs neighbors, and Sebastian’s own
doubts, their relationship could be in jeopardy before it even begins.
Can two best friends admit their feelings and fall in love?
Ethan realized falling in love with his best friend had
been easy. Keeping his feelings a secret
from Sebastian as they move into a one-bedroom loft and deal with decisions
from their past might prove a bit more difficult.
EXCERPT
Sebastian beamed at him and managed to quickly change
the subject. “Ready to see our new
place?”
Ethan nodded.
He felt a loss when Sebastian squeezed his hand once before he let
go. Sebastian opened the driver’s side
door and Ethan copied the movement on his side, wondering if he would survive
living in a space with Sebastian and be able to keep his feelings locked down
deep inside.
“Let’s get our stuff after. I want you to see it first.” Sebastian’s excitement made Ethan smile.
Sebastian reached for Ethan’s arm and led him to the
side entrance of the modern building Ethan hadn’t noticed before. Ethan was surprised when Sebastian kept his
warm hand on his arm, underneath his grey tee, skin on skin. As Sebastian turned to shoot him a smile of
reassurance, walking backward toward the door, Ethan couldn’t help but noticed
how the blue of Sebastian’s tee brought out the hazel of his eyes. Thinking that he might have been staring a
little too long, he glanced down and back up at Sebastian, who still smiled at
him.
Reaching back to open the door, Sebastian moved his
hand out of the way in time to avoid the door that was pushed open from the
inside. Darting his gaze to the opened
door, Ethan barely contained his groan when he spotted the pretty blonde
exiting the building.
Well, it was good while it lasted.
She was exactly Sebastian’s type. Blonde, slender, and wearing a tight white
tank and shorts. He knew Sebastian
wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to flirt with her.
Ethan tried to pull his arm from Sebastian’s grip,
wanting to go inside and avoid the inevitable, but found himself trapped when
she turned and smiled at Sebastian. With
a quick glance to see what Ethan had been looking at, Sebastian turned back to
Ethan and raised a brow.
“Hi, I’m Sarah.”
Ethan was stunned silent when Sebastian gave her a
quick nod in greeting and dragged Ethan through the door and up the short
flight of stairs. With one last glance
behind him to make sure Ethan hadn’t bolted, Sebastian unlocked the door to their
flat.
“What?”
“That was the first time I’ve witnessed you not
flirt with a woman. And she was blonde.”
Sebastian laughed and shook his head, opening the
door. “I’m partial to dark hair and
olive skin.”
“Since when?” Ethan blurted.
Sebastian’s smile grew wider. He turned and walked inside the flat, leaving
Ethan to follow.
As if on autopilot, Ethan walked in behind Sebastian,
keeping his eyes on his wide shoulders, waiting silently to see what he would
say.
“After Amber, and others that came before her, I
realized that I needed some time alone to think about who I want to be
with. I’ve figured out a lot of things
after I quit serial dating.”
His words, while doing nothing to clear up why he
hadn’t flirted with Sarah downstairs, struck him as sincere and completely
serious. His heart beat hard and his
hands went numb, unable to stop his thoughts from presuming that Sebastian felt
more for him than friendship. And as
quickly as they’d come, he dismissed his crazy notions that Sebastian would
fall in love with him after all their years of friendship.
