Tropes: Age gap, first-time gay awakening, dominant/protective love interest, power play, slow-burn seduction, summer fling, forced proximity (neighbors), mentor-student dynamic, curiosity turned desire.

Ethan’s uneventful summer takes a thrilling turn when a misdelivered package leads him straight into the orbit of Lucas, his older, dangerously confident new neighbor. What starts as an innocent mistake quickly spirals into something much deeper—Lucas sees through Ethan’s uncertainty, drawing him into a game of power and temptation that leaves him breathless. As Ethan grapples with feelings he’s never faced before, Lucas offers him something no one else ever has: the space to explore his curiosity, under the steady hand of a man who knows exactly what he’s doing.

This steamy MM romance blends slow-burning tension with undeniable chemistry, weaving a story of self-discovery, seduction, and surrender. As Lucas guides Ethan through his first taste of desire, their encounters push the boundaries between control and longing. But with every touch and every whispered command, Ethan finds himself questioning not just what he wants—but whether he’s ready to give in completely.
