Trapped in a cabin. One bed. No power. And my best friend just confessed he’s thought about me... like that. I’m not gay. At least, I wasn’t. But the way Eli looks at me under those blankets? The way he touches me like I’m something he’s wanted for years? Yeah—I’m not so sure anymore.
Tension turns to teasing. Teasing turns to touching. And what starts with shared body heat becomes a full-blown heat neither of us can deny.
Best friends to lovers. First times. Slow burn to explosive heat. One bed. And the sweetest, filthiest snowstorm of my life.
They have been doing sleepovers in the past, but this time is different. First of all together in a cabin in the snow, without power, means sharing a bed in front of the fire. The second night they find out they both have been thinking the same thing the first night. Eli is a little more outspoken, but he gives Derek room to deal with his feelings. That is nice to read.
But Derek needs more time after these few days to make up his mind, luckily he chooses what I was hoping he would.
