Oblivious by Leslie McAdam
IOU, Book 3
My hot best friend has no idea what he’s doing to me.
He sends me naughty texts at the most inappropriate times. He lets me fall asleep on top of him when we watch movies. And his protective side comes out if I dance too close to anyone at our favorite club.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but those are things a boyfriend does. Except August isn’t my boyfriend, he’s my bestfriend, and those lines are drawn in permanent marker. The one time we tried to cross the boundary between friends and lovers, it failed so spectacularly that we never did it again. So … “friends” is good enough. That’s what I tell myself. Because at least I have him in my life. Without him, I’d be lost.
But after we’re dared to kiss, and that kiss reshapes reality, we agree to be friends who do things with each other. Nakey things.
That makes my life so much better. And so much worse. After all, August doesn’t want to settle down, and he never wants to get married. While I do.
Most importantly, no matter how our relationship changes, he can’t find out I’m desperately in love with him.
Oblivious is a sweet and steamy contemporary m/m romance about best friends who don’t know they’re already dating. Noah and August are always touching, finish each other’s sentences, and bristle whenever the other gets within six feet of a date, but they can’t see what’s crystal clear to everyone else. Oblivious features badly timed schmexy texts, a hot kiss that rocks two men’s universes, and (unofficially, but likely) the highest number of heartfelt marriage proposals in a romance novel ever.

Alice whips around to August. “And you? When are you going to get tamed?”
“Um, never. God,” he says, and my heart sinks. I knew August was against marriage, but every time he says it, it hurts a little more. “I get enough of this from my family. I have to hear it from you, too?”
And this is why I never get my hopes up.
“Are you going to settle down with someone?” I ask Alice.
She sticks her hands in her pockets and rocks back on her heels. “No. So I want to live vicariously through all of you.” She grins. “What can I say? I just want people to be happy. And if people can be happy when they’re with someone else, then I get happy and the whole world lives in love.”
“You sound like a Julian Hill song,” August mutters.
“Hey,” Sam says, shoving August’s shoulder.
“I love his songs,” August clarifies. “All I mean is that he’s very sincere and earnest.”
“Well, yes, he is.” Sam gets a dopey grin on his face. The pop megastar is his boyfriend.
“And see,” Alice says, gesturing at Sam. “Another happy couple.”
“But why do we have to couple off?” August asks. “I’ve got my best friend. If I need something else, that’s what hookup apps are for.” He wraps an arm around me, and I rest my head on his shoulder. Then he rubs the top of my head, and I laugh and shove him.
Alice studies him for a very long moment. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you on a date.”
“That’s because I’m usually hanging with this guy,” August says.
“You’re best friends?” Alice asks.
“Yes,” I say.
“And you hang out together all the time?”
August holds our hands out in an “exhibit A” gesture.
“Do you live together?”
“Close,” Shelby tells her. He’s our receptionist and also the eyes and ears of our firm. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t know absolutely everything that goes on. “They’re neighbors.”
“Where is this going?” August asks.
“I dunno,” Alice says slowly. “You two are very interesting. I wonder if being friends is enough.”
August laughs and shoos her off. “Whatever. Go harass someone else.”
“I’ll bring your drinks,” she says, but she doesn’t leave.
“I agree with Alice,” Danny says. “I don’t get it. You guys are so close. You’re best friends since forever. You practically live with each other. You co-own the firm. How come you guys aren’t together?”
August answers for us. “We tried it once. Didn’t work.”
I smirk, although the reminder of our awkward attempts at sex when we were teens is embarrassing and painful. “Nope. Not for us.”
