Ethan Greene: Shy geek, newly bi-curious, and…propositioning his gay roommate?
I have a passion for a lot of things: wildlife biology, Godzilla, bowties… But when it comes to people, I’m more timid. Which is why I’m stuck with a toxic ex-girlfriend who’s holding my lizard hostage.
I need to face her–and save my dignity. But a little backup won’t hurt, right?
My roommate is the perfect wingman. Rhett is assertive and charismatic. The kind of guy people respect. And when he meets my toxic ex, he’s also the kind of guy to get protective.
I take comfort in his strength, even as I envy it. But when he kisses me, things get awkward.
Frustrated by the tension between us, I turn to a hookup app for answers. I don’t mean to proposition my roommate. Really. It’s just a weird fluke–a mortifying one.
But Rhett has a proposition of his own. He wants to help me explore my curiosity. But he’s a bartender who practically flirts for a living, and I’m in way over my head.
It could all end in heartbreak. Unless I find the courage I’ve been seeking my whole life. Can I be bold enough to ask Rhett Hayes to be mine?
