LET ME BE THE ONE

Aiden
Finn and I grew up as best friends. Sons of renowned politicians. Living life in the public eye but hiding the parts of us which we were most afraid to reveal. I was a closeted gay dude. Finn was a closeted...something. Serious and introverted...seemingly straight, he never looked at me the way I couldn't help but look at him sometimes. As we turned into young men from carefree teenagers, family and societal expectations entered the mix and one dreadful day, Finn got engaged. I had no choice but to suck it up. Because in worlds like ours, a guy didn't end up marrying his best friend. He ended up losing him to a girl.

My wedding was supposed to be a huge and highly publicized affair. Invitations had all gone out. The whole country was waiting for it, and my family was beyond excited to see me as a married man, finally settled and ready to follow in my father's footsteps.
Then Aiden decided to throw me a bachelor party. Not only that but he went one step further with a strip tease and lap dance. He meant it as a joke obviously. But there was nothing funny about the way my body responded to his grinding on my lap. Nothing funny about watching Aiden take his clothes off and get drunk with other male strippers at the party.
It made me hard and angry. It made me walk up to him and demand that he stop that nonsense immediately. It led to a surprisingly hot sex session between me and my best friend. The best friend who I hadn't known was gay until that night. The best friend whom I had no business realizing I was in love with a month before my wedding to another woman.

'Let Me Be The One' is a standalone and does not contain any major triggers or heavy themes except for off page animal death. It isn't what I would call 'spicy', instead focusing more on the plot and emotional aspects of their relationship, and it does have a HEA.
