Let Me Be The One: A best friends to lovers bi-awakening MM romance.



'Let Me Be The One' by @z.s.storm is out today on Amazon.

*Synopsis*

Aiden

Finn and I grew up as best friends. Sons of renowned politicians. Living life in the public eye but hiding the parts of us which we were most afraid to reveal. I was a closeted gay dude. Finn was a closeted...something. Serious and introverted...seemingly straight, he never looked at me the way I couldn't help but look at him sometimes. As we turned into young men from carefree teenagers, family and societal expectations entered the mix and one dreadful day, Finn got engaged. I had no choice but to suck it up. Because in worlds like ours, a guy didn't end up marrying his best friend. He ended up losing him to a girl.

Finn

My wedding was supposed to be a huge and highly publicized affair. Invitations had all gone out. The whole country was waiting for it, and my family was beyond excited to see me as a married man, finally settled and ready to follow in my father's footsteps.

Then Aiden decided to throw me a bachelor party. Not only that but he went one step further with a strip tease and lap dance. He meant it as a joke obviously. But there was nothing funny about the way my body responded to his grinding on my lap. Nothing funny about watching Aiden take his clothes off and get drunk with other male strippers at the party.

It made me hard and angry. It made me walk up to him and demand that he stop that nonsense immediately. It led to a surprisingly hot sex session between me and my best friend. The best friend who I hadn't known was gay until that night. The best friend whom I had no business realizing I was in love with a month before my wedding to another woman.

..

'Let Me Be The One' is a standalone and does not contain any major triggers or heavy themes except for off page animal death. It isn't what I would call 'spicy', instead focusing more on the plot and emotional aspects of their relationship, and it does have a HEA.

We called him the stable boy. Dad took him out of foster care and brought him to our farm because it meant free labor. I didn't know his name. Didn't want to.
You know what else I didn't want?
I didn't want to notice him as he eventually grew out of that lanky frame and got...hot. I didn't want thoughts of him invading my brain when I was on dates with my boyfriend. I didn't want to care when he looked like he needed to say something so badly but couldn't.
Because he was mute. He couldn't speak even if his life depended on it. And after making that same life a living hell for him all these years, I didn't want to face the fact that he might never forgive me.

Why didn't they ever say it? Why didn't they ever say my name? I ached to hear it sometimes instead of the usual phrases like 'stable boy' and 'dumb kid'. In their eyes, that was all I was. Because of what? My disability?
And her...
My tormentor. My foster father's daughter who never got off her high horse. What did I ever do to her? Why did she hate me so much?
Even when I treated her with kindness.
Even when I helped her out with things.
Even when tears gathered in my eyes and I wanted to tell her to stop because I didn't deserve to be bullied but words wouldn't come out of my mouth.
The world was my hell and she ruled it like the devil. And the worst part of it all was that...I let her.
