    About this ebook

    After a long night of feeling like they will never be as happy or as successful as their friends are, Jaden and Rye find themselves desperate for affection, saturated with tequila, and on the verge of a decision that could ruin their solid if strange friendship.

    Broad, boyish (and only mostly straight) Rye offers a compromise: a one night contract. As soon as they both leave the bed, the night never happened.

    But you can’t rewrite the past. And you can’t ignore your heart.

      ONE NIGHT CONTRACT

      Romance on the Go

      You’re seriously wearing going to wear that to Jenny’s party? Jaden demanded, appearing suddenly out of the bathroom.

      Rye, who had been hunting for his phone in the living room, jumped at the suddenness of his roommate’s accusing tone.

      Jaden stormed into the living room. He was wearing jeans that looked like they had been painted onto his slender legs and a shirt that was somehow not like a normal shirt, but Rye couldn’t put his finger on why. It hung strangely over Jaden’s willowy frame. And there was something else about Jaden that was odd. Rye squinted at him for a moment, trying to figure it out.

      Why are you looking at me like that?

      Dude, are you wearing eye shadow? Rye demanded.

      Jaden shrugged. "It’s just a little shimmer. I thought it was cute. Definitely cuter than that dishrag of a shirt you’re wearing." Jaden trailed his eyes pointedly down Rye’s chest.

      I don’t think Jenny and Michael will turn me away at the door for wearing a totally clean t-shirt that doesn’t even have any holes in it.

      Jaden pursed his lips and tilted his head, looking at Rye in the same way he did when he came home and the dishes were piling out of the sink, or if he was playing video games.

      He extended one finger and drove it into Rye’s arm, right where the armpit turned into the shoulder. One of Jaden’s perfectly manicured fingernails poked into Rye’s skin. Except this one, Jaden told him, somehow managing to make a sneer sound affectionate. You do realize it’s alright to throw clothes away, right? There aren’t any starving children in Africa who need the rest of your raggedy t-shirt?

      But if I throw this away I have to buy new clothes, Rye pointed out. Which requires money. And effort. And possibly even leaving the apartment. He shuddered with partially fake revulsion.

      Horrors, Jaden huffed. You know, I’d buy you clothes if you gave me money. He leaned back against the wall that sort of divided the apartment kitchen from the living room and crossed his arms over his chest in the same way a model in a magazine might. Jaden somehow always managed to look like he was waiting for someone to photograph him.

      Yeah… I’m not letting the guy wearing goddamn glitter on his face pick out my clothes, Rye replied, turning away from Jaden and going back to hunting for his phone in the couch.

      "Jeans that actually fit and a nice cardigan on those shoulders? Jaden responded. I could have girls buying you drinks. Let me supervise your next hair-cut and I could have them chasing you down the street."

      Rye ignored him. Much to Jaden’s annoyance,
