Control Freak - an MM Friends to Lovers Romance (Fire Season, #2) / Fire Season (ePub)

Devon

I didn't realize how lonely cutting everyone off would make me until I was standing in a goddamn hospital with a bullet wound, and they asked me for my emergency contact. I didn't have any to list, and it broke me.

So I'm back in my hometown and ready to make amends with the only person I should never have left behind: my best friend, Sean. He's reluctant to forgive me — after all, I ghosted him for eight years — but when I tell him I'll do anything to earn back his trust, Sean comes back with a list of rules:
1. Two weeks together in a remote one bedroom cabin. We do everything together.
2. I must sleep in his bed.
3. He won't touch me unless I beg for it.

I'd always thought I was straight, but the deeper I fall into my best friend's control, the more I'm starting to question what I really want from him — maybe it's way more than friendship. And what happens when two neighbors stop by to play makes me more sure of my feelings than ever.

Sean
The list was supposed to be a joke. I was afraid to let Devon back into my life, and I did the only thing I could think of to scare him away.
But the joke's on me — my best friend grew up into a wildly handsome man, and it barely takes twenty four hours to get Devon to rule #3. Before I know it, the innocent crush I nurtured as a boy is turning into something far deeper, but I'm terrified to let my heart get involved.
What if he leaves me again?
