Finally (The Marina #4)

“What do you mean, he’s already left?” My spoon was halfway to my mouth, having left my bowl of very milky cereal and was now dripping steadily onto the tablecloth that my mother had only put on the table, clean, that very morning. My heart was beating out of my chest as I stared at her. He’d already gone? How could he do that to me when he’d said he still wanted to be friends? How was I going to explain to him that I’d had a total epiphany in the night and had decided that I would happily hide in the closet with him – for as long as it took?
Fort Worth and Blake have been friends for most of their lives and inevitably, things change as they get older and they become lovers.
Blake, with his career taking off as a professional footballer, has a meltdown over them being found out and breaks it off with Fort Worth, breaking both of their hearts in the process.
Five years later, and totally out of the blue, he's back, begging for Fort Worth's forgiveness and asking for his help...
It's the most ludicrously reckless plan and it'll likely never work, but Fort is determined to help his oldest, closest friend in his hour of need - whilst at the same time, helping himself attain eternal happiness by finally getting the love of his life back for good... Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
