I’m the clumsy nerd who always seems to come out last. Except back in high school, when I came out first and became the only (known) gay kid in school for a hot minute. Our small town loved that.
Declan’s the local superstar—if it weren’t for his Dad’s accident back in senior year derailing his football career, he’d have been a household name by now. We’ve been best friends forever and he never let me become the outcast, no matter what.
He ignored any whispers or rumors about him being joined at the hip with his gay best friend. And he did his best to ignore the fact that I was such a cliche I was obviously, embarrassingly in love with him. We just don’t talk about it.
Or we didn’t. Until now. But Declan’s secrets are coming out, the clothes are coming off, and the flames are all rising. I don’t even care if we let it all burn down.
Under His Touch is a best friends turned lovers small town M/M romance. 18+ for spicy adult content.
Cosmo Knox is the R-rated pen name of Apollo Blake. Stories published under this name contain explicit content only suited for readers 18+ ...AKA: porn. With a healthy dose of demons, spellcraft, mysteries, ancient prophecies, and more, for good measure.
I write about hot people doing kinky stuff, so if that's what you like reading, we're in business. My short stories and novellas run towards contemporary, but my full-length novels always have some kind of genre bent, whether it's paranormal or futuristic.

Slightly updated cover (literally just added more blue and some hearts lol) and added a few new chapters to the story, particularly the argument scene near the climax. I'm writing a sequel to this right now which will also be available free on Wattpad.
vol 2 is longer and titled 'Under His Watch' and the cover is super pretty! It's pure gay fluff so far and it's set three years into the future so you can see how things have worked out for Leo and Declan as boyfriends.
A touching tale, two friends, longtime friends, one gay, one straight, love for his straight friend makes Leo's heart hurt. Declan knows his feelings but chooses to ignore it which hurts Leo even more as he watches girlfriends come and go. A lovely, if not painful read, I always enjoy best friends stories. A new author for me, a fellow Canadian who writes under two names, I need to read more.
