BTW I Love You

By Nico Jaye

M/M Romance

When Aidan logs onto the Internet one night during winter break, he hardly expects to meet tall, dark, and handsome Jake - let alone discover over the course of their chats and emails that Jake may actually be...well...pretty much perfect. However, with Jake studying abroad 8,000 miles away, Aidan soon finds himself struggling with the intense feelings that he's developed for a man he's never actually met.

With an ocean between them and all of the doubts and questions that come with the distance, will their relationship ever find wings? And when they finally meet in person, can their online romance become an IRL happily ever after?

Nico Jaye

Nico Jaye is a fan of all things HEA and has dragged her romance collection along for her moves from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Chicago to New York and back. She thinks reading is awesome and loves that she can hang out night after night with crinoline-wearing debutantes, brawny firemen in suspenders, and werewolf shifters with Scottish brogues. Her favorite stories are those that marry smut and fluff (a.k.a. smuff) into a gooey ball of HEA and fuzzies.An overall feline enthusiast, Nico secretly (or not so secretly?) adores Hello Kitty, cat GIFs, spontaneous traveling, pretending to be crafty, emoticons, hot menfolk, and parenthetical statements (not necessarily in that order). After starting as the pitcher for Team Awesome (literally) and visiting places like South Africa, Oman, and Fiji, Nico discovered that letting the boys in her head tell her where they want to go could actually be the most exciting journey of all.Connect with Nico Jaye online at any of the following:Website & Blog: http://www.nicojaye.comTwitter: @nicojayeFacebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/NicoJayeFacebook Profile: http://www.facebook.com/nicolovesbooksGoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/nicojayeTumblr: http://nicojaye.tumblr.com (NSFW)Email: [e-mail] you’d like to read more by Nico Jaye, then please feel free to check out her website for online freebies and additional information about other publications.

STORY LETTER:

Dear Author,

We got to know each other via the internet and did not meet until a year later. We've had a lot of complications, things getting in the way of our relationship, like the distance and people not believing that it could work, but we got through it. Now we're on vacation celebrating my college graduation and I think something exciting is going to happen!

What were the events that led up to this vacation? What is going to happen next? (No BDSM please, thank you!)

Sincerely,

Jane

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: A big thank you to the M/M Romance Group for hosting this wonderful event and to Jane A. for the inspiring picture and prompt. Thanks also to my family and friends, who have all been amazingly supportive whenever I tell them I write scandalous fiction. Gratitude.

About the Author

PROLOGUE

The afternoon SoCal sun was bright and cheerful two days before Memorial Day weekend. Aidan was walking back to his student housing apartment when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He'd just taken his last final – a hellacious combination of lab and written exam for his upper div Environmental Engineering class – and the day that greeted him upon exiting the science lab was glorious. Provided everything went well, knock on wood, he would at last be graduating next weekend from UCLA.

Aidan shifted his backpack to his other shoulder to fish out his phone. When he saw who'd sent the text message, he grinned.

24 hrs until some fun in the sun! check your email. ;)

He glanced up to make sure he wasn't going to walk into a tree like he did last week and, seeing the coast was clear, tapped his screen to check his email.

To: Aidan Montgomery

From: Jake Everett

Subject: You & Me?

Attachments (1)

Once the picture loaded, Aidan let out a bark of surprised laughter as his heart warmed at the sight. Grinning, he quickly texted a reply to Jake.

If you're lucky. ;)

Aidan slipped his phone back into his pocket and turned the corner to approach his apartment building. It was pretty standard-issue university housing with that anonymous new construction feel of solid straight lines and whitewashed stucco exteriors. That said, he and his roommate Kai had been lucky to have been placed here and not the Riordan complex, with its less than savory nickname of Rodent Riordan.

He took the steps up to his building two at a time and keyed in the code to buzz himself into the security gate. Whistling tunelessly and feeling much freer now that the weight of finals had been lifted, he made his way down the narrow hallway
