About this ebook
Jacob has loved Alex since high school. As a closeted youth, he never acted on his attraction to his best friend, and then they lost touch when he moved away for college. But a decade later, he sees Alex across the room in a crowded Vegas bar. Jacob refused to lose the love of his life again and in a drunken stupor proposed.
Now the two men must work through their issues and desires to achieve the happiness neither thought they’d have; to be reunited as they were destined to be.

Alex
Alex became aware of his breathing as light filtered into the formerly dark room, signaling the dawning of a new day. The corner of his mouth lifted as he registered the weight of the arm draped across his chest. He almost groaned when he remembered going to the bar with Alyssa for some twin time before the girls arrived for her bachelorette party weekend.
Must have been a good night. Drawing his right hand off his bare stomach, Alex lightly traced his middle finger down the forearm until he rested his hand over the rather large hand pressing into his chest, right over his heart.
She has man hands.
Before he could register anything else, warm lips pressed a light kiss to the flesh behind his ear. Instinctually, he tilted his head and hummed his approval. Alex joined his fingers with the possessive grip on his pec. Warm breath danced across his skin, as a vague memory of a ruder awakening long ago interrupted the promising beginnings.
If I see you with that little faggot again, I’ll kill the both of you.
The lightning fast blow forced his head to slam into the wall.
Alex pushed away the memory of his grandfather as his mystery lover traced a path down his abs. The movement paused.
He groaned when strong fingers squeezed his muscles even as the pinkie finger teased the beginnings of his happy trail. Soft kisses turned to light nips with an occasional tongue flick as the exploration descended until a firm grip wrapped around his burgeoning hard-on.
Wanting to enjoy this sensual wake-up call, Alex kept his eyes shut. The slow dry glide of someone else’s hand on his cock, the teasing caress to the sensitive skin at the base of the head, was all that mattered. Alex’s sleep-fogged brain couldn’t remember the last hand job he’d received, but his dreams of Jacob’s hand wrapping his rod, working it until he exploded helped him relax and enjoy the experience now. He left you, stop dreaming about him already. Whiskers brushed across his shoulder.
Alex’s eyes opened with a jolt. There was a man spooning him and giving him a hand job to die for.
What’s wrong, babe?
The deep voice sent a spark of desire to Alex’s core even as a ball of terror rolled in his gut.
Jacob?
You tensed.
The man continued working his cock. The cock didn’t give two shits where the pleasure came from as long as it didn’t stop. I want you nice and hard so I can feel you deep inside me again.
The man ignored his unease and continued to work his cock, precum dampening the head. Alex willed the pleasure to last as an image of Jacob flashed through his mind. How did I get here? Nothing. He forced what little saliva he had down his throat, the swallow almost painful. Teeth latched on to his shoulder and another jolt of excitement coursed through his body. Damn, who knew being bitten could be such a turn on?
"If you aren’t up to
