The terms were simple- or maybe just simple in theory. They each get three lifelines. A hookup whenever they needed no questions asked. Ender Lockwood-King did not expect his newest fuck buddy to be UCLA's golden boy. Ender could not stand golden boys. In fact, he despised them. They represented everything he was meant to be, but wasn't. Saint Daniels was so deep in the closet that he was drowning in clothes. He never expected anyone to figure out his secret, but Ender sees through him within seconds of meeting him. They arrive at an agreement to be friends with benefits, but it becomes more complicated as their relationship reveals truths about themselves. Ender must confront his inability to form emotional connections, while Saint must decide if this relationship is worth leaving the closet for.
