Tim Olfander escapes his busy, hectic life in LA to attend his ten year high school reunion in the city he left behind years ago, Lincoln Hill. There, at the resort the reunion has booked, his gaze falls almost instantly on the sexy, pretty guy behind the check-in counter. He chats up the guy only to learn he is the assistant manager, Brandon Collins.<br><br>Tim instantly sets in motion his plan to spend the week at the resort with Brandon's sweet body under his. He has no clue he’s no stranger to Brandon. He went to the same high school and is also going to be at the reunion.<br><br>Back then, Brandon was a shy, closeted nerd who had a big crush on Tim. Now’s Brandon’s chance to revisit that old crush from high school too. But he doesn’t want to give away his heart this time.

The Crush Revisited

If only he could have missed the whole reunion altogether, Brandon thought as he walked toward his car. He’d seen dozens of familiar faces, and not one of them had recognized him. Brandon hadn’t bothered to remind them who he was, but it made him realize just how isolated and alone he’d really been in those days. Veronica had been his only real friend.


Brandon was tempted to keep walking and pretend he hadn’t heard Tim calling to him. Tim had left him a few voice mails throughout the day. The truth was he didn’t think he could deal with the whole crush thing right now. He was so fucking tired. But he stopped anyway and waited for Tim to catch up.


Tim looked as great as ever with his dark hair and five o’clock shadow. He reminded Brandon of a rugged cop more than a polished lawyer.


“I’ve left you a bunch of messages.”


He nodded. “Yeah, sorry. I would have called you back when I got home.”
