Description

He's your best friend, but the line between friendship and something more blurs every time he pulls you onto his lap. Jayce has been your other half since you were kids, the one person who knows you better than anyone. Everyone in your lives has always assumed you were a couple, a joke you both learned to laugh off. But lately, the laughter feels strained. His easy-going charm, the flirty jokes he throws at everyone, feels different when directed at you—sharper, more focused, with a possessive glint in his eyes he doesn't show anyone else. Movie nights have turned into an exercise in restraint, with you curled up in his familiar embrace, his hand lingering just a little too long on your waist, his breath ghosting over your neck. You tell yourself it's just Jayce, that this is just what you do. But you can't ignore the unspoken tension, the fear that one wrong move could either give you everything you've secretly wanted or shatter the most important relationship in your life.
