Summary

It's the middle of July, and Rico Davin is about to faint -- not from the heat, though. For the whole summer, he gets to watch his best friend, Chance Raynor, shirtless and wet on the beach playing volleyball with his buddies. The perspiration on Chance's skin is driving Rico nuts. It doesn't help that he's lusted after Chance since they met freshman year in college. What's not to like in a tall, muscular, and just plain hot jock of a roommate? Unfortunately, Chance doesn't see Rico the same way. Or does he?
When Rico is hit by a car while riding home on his bicycle, Chance shows him a side of his personality Rico never expected. Maybe it's the heat or his concussion, but when they argue, Rico's hidden feelings and insecurities come out in the open, for good or bad. Maybe getting sweaty could make it all better.
