Slick Trip: A Bratty Omegaverse Novella

by Lucy Castle

19-year-old Cooper has the best drive Grandpa’s Cadillac from Illinois to California, collect a thousand dollars, and prove that he’s not as immature as everyone seems to think. Then Jon Beckett—his brother’s best friend and the guy Cooper has been half in love with since he was fifteen—is suddenly assigned as his unwilling road trip babysitter. Cooper is livid. Yeah, he used to have a crush on Jon, but that was before Jon did something unforgivable.

Jon knows exactly why keeping his distance from Cooper matters. One reckless night a year ago proved that some lines should never be crossed—especially with Cooper who is beautiful, bratty, and far too easy to want.

Now they’re stuck together for a week, trying to ignore the mutual attraction. Then biology intervenes and changes everything—for better or for worse, that’s for Cooper and Jon to decide.

Slick Trip is a 40k word omegaverse novella with mature themes.
