Two Straights Too Many

By Romeo Alexander

I panicked and told her I was dating my best friend. He didn't even blink.

CADE

My mother has picked out my future wife: Christine, a city councilwoman who oversees every fire station in Port Dale and keeps making me offers I'm afraid to refuse.

So when Mom gets me invited to Christine's party, I bring my best friend, Elias, as backup.

When Christine corners me and asks if I brought a date, I panic, say yes, and turn to Elias, the biggest man in the room.

He has never let me down, and tonight is no different.

But Christine isn't buying it. She calls our chief that night, and soon the whole station thinks we're a couple.

She controls our budget, so if she catches us lying, we could lose our jobs.

ELIAS

I've been pulled into Cade's bad ideas since the day we met.

He sleeps over so often that we share my bed more nights than anyone at the station knows. Now we have to convince them we're doing a lot more than sleeping.

To test us, Christine throws a party in our honor at a gay club, invites the whole firehouse, and asks to see us dance.

So I pull Cade onto the dance floor and kiss him to sell it. Or so I tell myself.

Instead of stopping me, Cade kisses me back.

I've only ever been into women, so I should want to forget that kiss.

I'm not sure I do, and that scares me almost as much as it interests me.

Two Straights Too Many is a fake-dating, friends-to-lovers M/M firefighter romance about two very straight best friends, with nonstop banter and a guaranteed HEA. Book 1 in the Heroes of Port Dale series. Each book features a new couple.
