Beckett
When the hottest guy I've ever seen teaches one of those weird New Age, self-help seminars at my company, I don't exactly pay attention to the content of the presentation. I just know I want to see him again.
He's flirty and charming, and I find myself asking him on a date. I'm usually all about casual hookups, but Cody is different. He doesn't care about my family's money or that I'm the owner of an NHL team. He wants to get to know me for me.
His sunshine personality is addicting, and I'm worried that one hookup won't be enough.
Just when I start thinking this could be something real, I realize I might have misread his always happy and interested, golden retriever energy. Because when I finally lean in to kiss him, he looks confused instead of excited.
Just my luck to want something serious for the first time, only to find out he's straight.
Cody
I work for the best company in the world! I get to travel around the country, helping motivate people to find success and happiness-it's my dream job.
I'm always meeting new people and making new friends, so when the cool, confident guy at one of my seminars asks me to hang out after class, it feels completely normal.
But spending time with Beckett is different. When the night ends sooner than I'd like, I find myself wishing it hadn't, and that's... unusual for me.
Thankfully, we exchange numbers, and I can't stop thinking about him-what he's doing or what I could say to make him smile. I've never been this eager to see someone again, and it makes me nervous in a way I can't explain.
Then he leans in to kiss me, and everything suddenly makes sense. There's a reason I can't get him out of my head. Maybe I'm not as straight as I thought I was.
