Finn hates Halloween. He’s associated the day with fear and pain ever since he was twelve and he broke his ankle running from a haunted house. So he normally avoids the holiday’s events, especially the scary ones. This year, though, he let his best friend, Ryan, peer pressure him into going through the haunted house set up by his fraternity. It’s for a good cause, to raise money for a little girl with cancer. Still, Finn’s anxiety is off the charts. Until Ryan comforts him during the frightening experience, and Finn realizes there just might be some perks to being spooked.
Hold Me Close is a sweet and steamy M/M story that has a HFN ending.
