    About this ebook

    David has loved his older brother Derek's BFF, Wiley, since the first day he met him, five long lust-filled years ago. But, as Derek never hesitates to point out, Wiley is straight.

    When Wiley has a falling out with his roommate and winds up crashing on David and Derek's couch for a month, he's a 24/7 reminder of what David wants but fears he'll never have. Until one afternoon when David has a major art project to finish and a model who's a no-show. Wiley offers to pose for him---and it sure feels like the heat between them is mutual.

    Could Derek have been wrong about his best friend for all these years? Would David's dreams about Wiley finally come true? The only thing David knows is that one way or another he'll find out for sure...tonight.

    Introduction

    The story you are about to read celebrates love, sex and romance between men. It is a product of the Love is an Open Road promotion sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group and is published as a gift to you.

    What Is Love is an Open Road?

    The Goodreads M/M Romance Group invited members to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale. The result was an outpouring of creativity that shone a spotlight on the special bond between M/M romance writers and the people who love what these authors do.

    A written description of the image that inspired this story is provided along with the original request letter. If you’d like to view the photo, please feel free to join the Goodreads M/M Romance Group and visit the discussion section: Love is an Open Road.

    No matter if you are a long-time devotee to M/M Romance, just new to the genre or fall somewhere in between, you are in for a delicious treat.

    Words of Caution

    This story is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

    Acknowledgments

    I would like to thank Liza Kay for the delightful story prompt and insanely sexy photo, both of which drew me to this prompt and compelled me to write David and Wiley’s story. Many thanks also to Debbie McGowan and her team for doing such a thorough editing job and helping me make this novella shine. As always, I’m eternally grateful to my loyal beta readers Karen Booth, K.D. Wood, Kira Decker and Mandy Pennington—-without you guys I’d probably never have the courage to submit anything! And, of course, much gratitude to the entire M/M Romance Group for putting together this wonderful Don’t Read In The Closet/Love Is An Open Road event.

    Story Prompt for Tonight

    Below is the written prompt and photo description that inspired this story:

    Photo Description

    Two sexy, shirtless, dark-haired young men are making out on a couch. The muscular, tattooed man on top is holding the other guy’s wrists above his head with one strong hand as they kiss.

    Prompt

    Dear Author,

    See the hot jock sitting on top of me? He’s my older brother’s team mate and I’ve lusted after him—and loved him—since forever. I never thought I’d have a chance though. That dumbass brother of mine always said he was straight. But look at the way he’s giving the phrase He takes my breath away a whole new meaning! My brother must be wrong. Please, dear author, let him be wrong and make my dream come true.

    Thanks!

    Sincerely,

    Liza

    Chapter One

    He’s not gay, you know.

    If I had a dollar for every time my older brother Derek reminded me that his best friend, Wiley, wasn’t gay, I’d be able to afford my own place instead of sharing an apartment with the two of them. The first time Derek had said it, I thought I was going to die. I was sixteen, and we were sitting in the kitchen of our old house, eating leftover lasagna out of the pan. Wiley had just left after being at our house all day. We’d watched a Rocky movie marathon and followed that up with a Ping-Pong challenge. It was the first time I’d gotten to hang out with Wiley for more than a few hours,
