Blanket of Stars

All Cayson Bexley ever wanted was to fly…⁣ Until a near-fatal crash clipped his wings, sending the injured military pilot back to his hometown and living right next door to me.⁣ ⁣ From the moment our eyes meet, the attraction is undeniable.⁣ I mean who wouldn’t fall for that achingly gorgeous face, his clean-cut demeanor, and sweet, small town charm?⁣ ⁣ Other than our mutual love of music, we’re as opposite as two people can be.⁣ Which is precisely why I friend-zone him the moment he shows interest.⁣ But as time goes on, my heart softens to this man who once had it all—a literal hero floundering to find his purpose.⁣ ⁣ In the midst of my own struggles, I could certainly use a friend.⁣ Heck, I could use more than that.⁣ And I’m not afraid to let Cayson know it.⁣ ⁣ When I discover my hunk of a neighbor is as shy as he is inexperienced, I offer him a distraction he can’t possibly refuse.⁣ We already share a very thin wall.⁣ Why not a bed too?⁣ ⁣ There’s only one catch: he’ll have to promise not to fall in love with me…⁣ ⁣ A no-strings hook-up is every man’s dream, right?⁣ What could possibly go wrong?⁣
