James has spent decades torn between desire and loss, haunted by the men who shaped his life. First, there was Ethan, the soldier who ignited something fierce inside him during the chaos of war. Their love was wild, dangerous, forged in secrecy amidst gunfire and stolen moments. Every touch burned, every kiss a desperate claim, knowing it could all disappear in an instant. Then, as quickly as it began, Ethan was gone, lost to time but never forgotten.

Then came Adam, the man who found James broken and gave him something he never thought he’d feel again. Stability. Comfort. A love that wasn’t reckless but no less intense. Adam showed him how to love again, slowly and deeply, their bodies moving in a rhythm that brought him peace. With Adam, there was no fear, just quiet intimacy, hands sliding over skin, whispered promises, nights that left James's aching for more. But now, Adam is gone too, leaving James lost in memories, unsure if he’ll ever feel that fire again.

Through it all, Sara has been by his side, loyal and mischievous, always there to pick up the pieces. But now, she’s done watching him wallow. She wants him to see what she sees that he’s still wanted, still needed. And she’s ready to play matchmaker.

Enter Aaron. He’s younger, cocky, relentless, with a smirk that promises trouble and hands that know exactly how to make James feel alive again. At first, James resists, telling himself it’s too soon, that he’s not ready. But Aaron isn’t taking no for an answer. His flirtatious glances leave James breathless, pulling him into a heat he thought was long gone. Aaron is fire, and James can’t help but be drawn to it.

With Ethan’s ghost lingering, Adam’s love etched into every quiet moment, and Aaron pulling him into a world of desire, James is caught between the past and the undeniable heat of now. And Sara? She’s sitting back, enjoying the show, making sure James finally sees what she’s known all along, he’s still wanted, and it’s time he stopped hiding.
