August is off-limits, no matter how much I want to lick his face.
All I needed was a ride home for Christmas. A thirty-hour drive with me, my best friend Bri, and her boyfriend, August. But Bri and August broke up, and I’m left in an awkward situation. Take August’s help or miss the holidays with my family. So I get in the car. Oh yeah, and we’re camping. In winter. Who does that?
The biggest surprise is how well August and I get along, inside and outside his tent. He’s never been attracted to guys, but the chemistry is hard to ignore. This is probably just some experimental rebound thing for him, but I’m enjoying every second. But when this ride’s over, will I be able to get off?
This is a 35k word standalone companion to Pitching Tents. A low-angst, steamy read with a bi-awakening and HEA.
