The night before Noah Hill left his hometown of Mountain View, he had a drunken sexual tryst with his best friend, Lucas Wesson. Deeply in the closet, Noah is horrified at his behavior, and terrified of what Lucas would think of him. He left the next morning without saying goodbye, and effectively cut off all ties. He returns five years later to help his father, and runs into his old best friend almost as soon as he reaches town. And nothing has changed. He still loves Lucas, and he still can't stand to meet the other man's eyes.<br><br>Lucas has been through a lot in the past five years without his best friend's support. A marriage. A divorce. A child. Running his own business. He also remembers his one night with Noah with perfect clarity. For five years, he only wanted Noah to come home. But now that Noah is back, things have changed too much to ever be the same between them ...

My Only Home

Noah wasn’t disappointed. Luke was in the bedroom. And Noah was naked. Noah’s groin felt tight.


“I didn’t want to give you the chance to change your mind.”


Luke looked pointedly at the tent Noah was pitching. “I see you haven’t changed your mind either.”


“This can’t be the first time you’ve noticed the effect you have on me.”


“No, but I thought it’d be more polite if I didn’t make a comment.” The humor disappeared from his dark eyes, and he touched the mattress beside him. “Come here.”


Noah didn’t have to be asked twice. As soon as he was within touching distance, Luke reached out and snagged his towel. A single tug sent it to the floor, and Noah was left standing naked in front of him. Luke paused, his eyes glued to Noah’s body, taking in every detail. Noah remained still, allowing the slow perusal to continue until Luke looked up, meeting his eyes.


“Do you approve?” Noah asked, only half-joking.


“I wasn’t sure if it’d be the same.”
