I've
been out and proud for years, happily living my truth. Never did I imagine I
would be asked to step back into the closet.
Until that night at the club.
After one too many cocktails, I ended up in a bathroom stall enjoying a hot and
steamy tryst with a super sexy guy named Nate. We exchanged numbers and
indulged in some spicy sexting.
But when I asked him to meet up again, he ghosted me.
I tried distracting myself by acting as a friend’s plus one to a wedding. Who
do I see standing next to the groom, looking like a snack? Nate. He claims no
one knows he’s gay and asks me to be discreet. Still, my years of hiding are
behind me. Can I help him find the strength to come out to his family and
friends? Or will his reservations be too big an obstacle to overcome?

“I’m so sorry about that,” the hot guy said. “I was coming over to talk to you and I bumped into that guy who crashed into you and spilled your drink all over your shirt.”
I turned to face him and looked into his crisp blue eyes. “It’s, um, it’s totally fine.”
“It’s not fine. Can I buy you another drink?” He glanced down. “Or, shit, another shirt?” Before I could answer, he forged ahead. “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”
Fuck, could he ever. We were so close to one another, I could smell his cologne, musky and woodsy. His arms and chest were straining the limits of his shirt and his artfully ripped jeans hinted at thickly muscled thighs. I bit the side of my lower lip. “I, um…” Heat crept into my face, starting at my neck and spreading up to my ears.
He cleared his throat and took a tiny step closer to me, closing in on my personal space. “I’m Nate.” His voice was low and husky. He licked his lips and his gaze traveled down to my chest.
“Theo,” I murmured. “Nice to meet you.”
Nate’s gaze leaped from my chest to my eyes and then down to my lips. He swallowed, his sharp Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. “I’m really sorry about your shirt,” he said again, barely a whisper.
The heat roiled between us and I spoke without second-guessing myself. “Do you want to…” I tilted my head in the direction of the nearest bathroom stall. Lust coiled in my stomach and groin.
“Yes.” His response came out sounding raw and eager. Nate dipped down and pressed his lips to mine fiercely, wasting no time in plunging his tongue into my mouth. I couldn’t stop the needy groan that escaped me as we stumbled into the bathroom stall. As soon as we cleared the entrance to the stall, I stuck out my hand and slid the lock home.

This was a sweet, fast read with some angst. Theo and Nate meet and have
insta-lust and sex. Theo is out and proud, Nate is not. Theo doesn't want to go
back into the closet just to end up hurt. These two have good chemistry and you
can't help but want Nate to get his ass out of the closet. I suggest this as a
day at the pool read so you can find out if Nate ever walked out of that
closet!
