About this ebook
Darren and Russ have been friends since they were kids, and Darren has been pining after Russ for almost as long. Now that they're roommates in college, they train, run and live with their parkour group in between studying and partying. After a house party reveals that Russ has been keeping secrets from Darren, the tension follows them on Darren's family vacation and Darren finds that he has a choice to make. He can either remain silent and pretend nothing has happened, or tell his best friend his own secret and maybe fulfill all of his dreams...

Author's Note
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's Hot Summer Days
event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. The prompt for this story was:
Dear Author,
These two men have been best friends since they could crawl; over the years they have both secretly fallen in love with each other, one of them is out and proud the other man wants to be as long as it’s with his best friend.... How did this happen?? Oh Author, can I please add that they Love Hot SEX everywhere and that they have a HEA :)
Photo Description: A black/white photo of a windowed, sunlit lodge with 50s-looking furniture. One naked youth hangs by his right hand from a wooden rafter, his left hand stroking his lover's hardened penis. His legs are over his young lover's shoulders as his naked lover holds him by the hips and sucks his dick.
This story is still available on the M/M Romance Group’s site at: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/578115-j-rocci-just-breathe-out-7-19
I’m publishing this on Smashwords since the original distributor, All Romance eBooks, went out of business. I hope you enjoy!

Go, Dare! Keep steady!
Russ yelled from the football green below.
Darren surged up the stadium seats, balls of his feet hitting the top of one chair per row as he leaned forward to keep his momentum. His quadriceps burned with sustaining the brutal pace, his groin muscles stretched to reach the next vinyl seat, while his calves provided the tension to spring up, one after another.
His sole focus was on the path in front of him: the next seat, five rows ahead, the empty alcove of the concrete balcony separating the front rows from the cheap seats, the handholds he would use to get to the mezzanine.
Calloused hands slapped down lightly on the orange-rust colored railing that fenced in the balcony as Darren twisted into a roll, flipping tightly as his obliques contracted and his glutes tightened. His thin-soled free runner shoes slapped down on concrete as he landed, the forward momentum carrying him into a somersault.
Using the energy of the roll, he sprang up during the recovery, kicking off the short back wall of the alcove to grasp the railing of the mezzanine tightly. He hoisted himself up, never losing his fast pace, and slid through the railing bars sideways, arms burning as he used a push-up to right himself on the first row of seats. A hand planted flat on the bottom seat cushion, followed with the toes of his
