    Summary

    Seeing Ivan fall apart, and Till being the cause for that distress, scares him.

    Sadness is not a pretty face on Ivan. And Till would do anything if it means he never gets to see Ivan with that face ever again.

     

    -

     

    A harmless dare gone wrong causes a lifelong friendship to crumble and fall apart. Till is left to pick up the pieces, in hopes of winning back the trust of his best friend, Ivan. And maybe along the way, he'll learn to love Ivan as much as Ivan loves him. (That is, if Ivan still does)

    Summary

    Ivan’s in his final year of college—broke, horny, and hopelessly in love with his best friend Till, who’s too busy pining after a lesbian to notice. So when Ivan stumbles on a camboy site while looking for ways to earn quick cash for Till’s birthday gift, he figures: why not?

    Enter Navi—masked, shy, and quietly alluring.

    To his surprise, people love him. Especially one anonymous viewer: L, one who tips big, praises generously, and always seems to know exactly what Ivan needs to hear.

    Under L’s gaze, Ivan discovers that he likes being watched and being... wanted.

    He likes being told that he’s pretty and good and that he deserves to be spoiled.

    What starts as a one-time experiment becomes addictive and Ivan slowly learns what it means to be desired, to feel powerful, to want.

    And when L turns out to be Luka—his dangerously charming, recently graduated senior—Ivan realizes some temptations are better explored offline.

    He just didn’t expect Luka to look at him like that.
