We’re adults, sharing a bed shouldn’t be a challenge, but toss in some martinis and a little mistletoe?<\/p>\n
Stella<\/p>\n
I’ve loved Nico for years. Our friendship is the base I’ve built my life on, even if there’s always been a secret yearning to be more. Just a little crush I’ve always kept a lid on. Then he finds out my secret, a diagnosis I’m still coming to terms with. I’m worried it could drive a wedge between us but he’s determined to take it, and me, on. Is he just being a good friend or finally realizing he might feel the way I do?<\/p>\n
Nico<\/p>\n
I lost my willpower where Stella is concerned the moment we were forced into sharing a bed for our best friend’s engagement trip. Not that I ever had much to begin with. The only reason I’ve held myself back is that I’m terrified to lose her. But once we cross that line, all bets are off. When I find out what’s really going on with her, I’ll do everything in my power to show her that we can be more. If that means moving myself into her apartment, I’ll do it. I’m determined to prove that we’re not a mistake.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
