Kace Channing has been best friends with Luke Holland for thirty-five years. He can’t imagine his world without him. But over the last twelve months, they’ve hardly seen one another. And life without Luke seems empty. When Luke shows up on Kace’s doorstep, asking for a place to stay, Kace is happy to say yes. But he isn’t prepared for the kiss that follows, or ready to admit he could kiss Luke forever. What they already have is too important. And when Luke, the least outdoorsy person Kace knows, tells him he's buying a cabin in the woods, Kace tries to talk him out of it. But Luke’s made up his mind. He says they need it, the two of them. But won’t kisses and cabins ruin their friendship?

Kisses and Cabins

“You’re s-so warm.” Luke pushed his ass against Kace’s groin, and he bit back a moan. By some miracle, his body was behaving—probably because of him hugging an ice cube.


“And you’re such an idiot. My tips were spectacularly crappy today. Any idea why? I didn’t, but everyone at work was having a laugh, and they told me to check my tips on the nights you were there. You scare off the patrons.”


“Why do you growl and glare at my customers?”


It wasn’t possible, but Luke tried to burrow closer. “Why do you flirt with them?”


“It’s y-your job to f-flirt?” The huff made Kace grin.


“No, but it’s my job to be polite.”


Silence stretched. If it hadn’t been for the tension in Luke’s muscles, Kace would’ve believed he was asleep.


“Have you ever s-slept with Angel?”


The question surprised a chuckle out of Kace. “No, and I never will.”


“B-Because you don’t like A-Angel?”
