Him (Him, #1)

by Sarina Bowen

Because I’d wanted to touch him more than I’d wanted my next breath.

I’d always fucking wanted this guy.

I just… I just can’t let him go yet.

Jamie is kissing me.

I’m still in love with him.

Life is just a little brighter, a little louder wherever Wes is.

“You know, you’re a cocky bastard when you’re gay.”

I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want Canning. The way I crave Canning.

I’ve played it cool, but inside I’m a wreck. Because once was not enough,

His mouth twitches. “My dick and I reached an understanding.” “Yeah? And what’s that?” I ask curiously. He shrugs. “We both like you.”

“Get on my fucking bed,”

“Relax for me, baby.”

I’ll give him every fucking part of myself, serve it to him like a feast at a banquet.

Jamie Canning has no idea the kind of power he has over me.

“I’d let you do anything to me, Canning.”

My life has been chaotic for as long as I can remember, and I always dealt with it alone. My parents’ criticism, my confusion over my sexuality. But for six weeks every summer, I didn’t have to be alone. I had Jamie, my best friend, my rock.

“You are goddamn addictive, Wes.”

I came to Lake Placid hoping we could still be friends. I got much more than that. And I’m so grateful.

I can’t escape Jamie Canning, no matter how hard I try.

Summer always ends.

I’ve loved you for years,

“You really do love me, huh?” “Always have.” I swallow hard. “Always will.”

I love Jamie. I’ve always loved Jamie.

home is with him.

Dear Ryan. Thank you for making Jamie so happy. He loves you and so do we. Welcome to the Canning clan.
