Trevor can never leave good enough alone. So when he meets model-gorgeous Chase who has an aversion to being touched, he spots a challenge. After all, no one wants to go through life not being touched by anyone, right? Despite a friend’s plea not to, Trevor sets his sight on fixing Chase.<br><br>After being forced to transfer his senior year of college, Chase just wants to avoid drama, pass his classes, get his degree, and move on (and back to his friends).

It’s almost inevitable that their friendship develops into something else. But when secrets come out, it might end the game early.

The Right Move

A considering expression on his face, Chase took a bite and chewed. “Sometimes. But when I do, I just go for the stuff with meat.”


Chase shook his head, and another smile made a brief appearance. “That area just has the smallest crowds.”


“Too hungry to wait long, eh?” Trevor grinned.

“Sorry about Trevor playing twenty questions,” Jorge chimed in. Trevor nearly jumped in surprise. He’d sorta forgotten his friend was there. “He’s rude like that.” Jorge elbowed Trevor in the side. “Let the dude eat his lunch in peace.”


Trevor’s cheeks heated again, and he felt properly abashed. “Sorry. My curiosity got the best of me.”


Chase’s gaze darted between them, and then slowly his posture loosened. “It’s okay.” He took another bite of chili.


Trevor waited for Chase to continue. To answer the question—it wasn’t like it was a personal one or anything—but nothing. Right. “So you have class with Jorge?”
