Like I Wanted

Roommates. Best friends. Boyfriends?

Theo and Laurie have been best friends for six years but despite doing everything together, they've never been anything more than best friends and roommates.

Then someone calls them boyfriends and upends their neat little world.

As the pair struggle to put a lid on their feelings, a random email from Theo's brother throws him even further off balance and all Laurie can do is offer a niche form of stress relief. But Laurie's support doesn't stop at rope garters. Once the two of them fall into bed, it's clear things will never be the same between them.

Now, Theo and Laurie must finally address the feelings they've tried to hide from and figure out if they really are just friends, or if there's always been something more between them. Can they give each other everything they ever wanted?
