Descrip­tions

David aime le meilleur ami de son frère aîné Derek, Wiley, depuis le jour où il l’a rencontré, cinq ans auparavant. Mais, comme Derek n’hésite jamais à lui faire remarquer, Wiley est hétéro.

Quand Wiley se dispute avec son colocataire et finit par squatter le canapé de David et Derek pendant un mois, il lui rappelle 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 ce que David veut, mais craint de ne jamais avoir. Jusqu’à ce qu’un après-midi, David ait un grand projet artistique à terminer et que la personne qui devait poser pour lui ne se présente pas. Wiley lui propose de le faire – et il semblerait que leur attirance soit réciproque.

Derek aurait-il pu se tromper sur son meilleur ami pendant toutes ces années ? Les rêves de David au sujet de Wiley se réaliseraient-ils enfin ? La seule chose dont David est certain, c’est que d’une manière ou d’une autre, il le découvrira à coup sûr… C’est maintenant ou jamais.

David has loved his older brother Derek's BFF, Wiley, since the first day he met him, five long lust-filled years ago. But, as Derek never hesitates to point out, Wiley is straight.

When Wiley has a falling out with his roommate and winds up crashing on David and Derek's couch for a month, he's a 24/7 reminder of what David wants but fears he'll never have. Until one afternoon when David has a major art project to finish and a model who's a no-show. Wiley offers to pose for him---and it sure feels like the heat between them is mutual.

Could Derek have been wrong about his best friend for all these years? Would David's dreams about Wiley finally come true? The only thing David knows is that one way or another he'll find out for sure...tonight.

Here is the letter and a description of the photo that accompanied this prompt:

Dear Author,

See the hot jock sitting on top of me? He’s my older brother’s team mate and I’ve lusted after him— and loved him— since forever. I never thought I’d have a chance though. That dumbass brother of mine always said he was straight. But look at the way he’s giving the phrase “He takes my breath away” a whole new meaning! My brother must be wrong. Please, dear author, let him be wrong and make my dream come true.

Photo Description:
