Book synopsis:
Sebastian Stewart was never Mr. Dependable; he was more the good-time guy who only wanted to swim, party, and ink tattoos. Until he cost his team the Olympic gold four years ago. Bas is determined to do right this time around—by his medley relay team and his rookie mentee. Jacob Burrows is in over his head. The Olympic experience—from the hazing, to the endless practices, to the unrelenting media—makes the shy nineteen-year-old’s head spin. He’s trying to be everything to everyone while trying not to fall for his gorgeous tattooed teammate who just gets him—gets his need to fix things, his dorky pirate quips, and his bisexuality. When Jacob falters under the stress, threatening his individual races and the medley relay gold, he needs Bas’s help to escape from drowning. Bas, however, fearing a repeat of his mistakes four years ago, pushes Jacob away, sure he’ll only let Jacob down. But the only path to salvaging gold is for Jacob to finally ask for what he needs—the heart of the man he loves—and for Bas to become the dependable one.
“How can you be your best when you’re not sure if your best will measure up? That’s the dilemma facing Bas and Jacob, as they deal with the immense pressure of swimming for Olympic gold while also trying to sort out their tangled hearts.” –Layla Reyne

“Hey, Pup, how long’s it take to put your shirt back on?”
The dressing room curtain swung open, and Jacob, dick in hand, stared at the blue eyes of his fantasy in the mirror. “Fuck!” He quickly cast his gaze aside, struggling to stuff his interested, uncooperative dick back in his boxers. “Sorry, sorry.”
“You’re not the first, Pup.” Jacob’s eyes shot back to the mirror. Bas was smiling, wicked and teasing. “You’re not even in the double digits.”
Double digits of what? To jerk off after getting a tattoo? Or to jerk off to him? Or in front of him?
Fuck, that thought would not go away.
“It’s not an uncommon reaction after getting a tattoo,” Bas clarified. “The rush, the endorphins, the response some people have to pain.”
Jacob had personally never associated the two—pleasure and pain. Then again, he’d never had them delivered together before, much less by someone so attractive.
“Do what you need,” Bas said, taking a step back and moving to draw the curtain closed again.
Do what you need.
Which was what? The answer was out, spoken, the moment Jacob thought it. “Stay.”
Bas froze, hand fisting the thick velvet curtain. “Jacob.”
Grip tightening at his name in Bas’s rough, rumbling voice, Jacob closed his eyes, craving the fantasy for real. He shouldn’t ask. It was too much, more than Bas had offered. He asked too much and people left. But maybe he could ask for less than the entire fantasy, just enough of what he needed. “You don’t have to do anything. I just don’t . . .” God, how did he ask this and not sound like a loser?
