Didn't want to.You know what else I didn't want?I didn't want to notice him as he eventually grew out of that lanky frame and got...hot. I didn't want thoughts of him invading my brain when I was on dates with my boyfriend. I didn't want to care when he looked like he needed to say something so badly but couldn't.Because he was mute. He couldn't speak even if his life depended on it. And after making that same life a living hell for him all these years, I didn't want to face the fact that he might never forgive me.OliverWhy didn't they ever say it?

AidenFinn and I grew up as best friends. Sons of renowned politicians. Living life in the public eye but hiding the parts of us which we were most afraid to reveal. I was a closeted gay dude. Finn was a closeted...something. Serious and introverted...seemingly straight, he never looked at me the way I couldn't help but look at him sometimes. As we turned into young men from carefree teenagers, family and societal expectations entered the mix and one dreadful day, Finn got engaged. I had no choice but to suck it up.

Not only that but he went one step further with a strip tease and lap dance. He meant it as a joke obviously. But there was nothing funny about the way my body responded to his grinding on my lap. Nothing funny about watching Aiden take his clothes off and get drunk with other male strippers at the party.It made me hard and angry. It made me walk up to him and demand that he stop that nonsense immediately. It led to a surprisingly hot sex session between me and my best friend.

The best friend whom I had no business realizing I was in love with a month before my wedding to another woman...'Let Me Be The One' is a standalone and does not contain any major triggers or heavy themes except for off page animal death. It isn't what I would call 'spicy', instead focusing more on the plot and emotional aspects of their relationship, and it does have a HEA.
