Pump Fake

I'm not the hero type. So why did I just ruin my career defending him?

Being the cocky a**hole has always been my thing. Show weakness, lose everything—that's the rule.

Lucas Bentley is sunshine personified—openly gay, health obsessed, and the kind of guy who sacrificed his own dreams to raise his siblings after their parents died. Basically, everything I'm not. So why did I lose my mind when those narrow-minded idiots outside the bar started throwing slurs at him?

Now we're both suspended, forced into community service together, and I'm stuck spending every day with the one person who sees right through my walls. Lucas keeps pushing, keeps trying to find the real me underneath all the armor.

The problem? He's right. I am gay. And I'm terrified that admitting it will cost me everything—my career, my family's respect, my place in a world where I've always had to fight twice as hard to belong. But Lucas makes me want to try. Makes me want to be brave.

Until I overhear a conversation that makes me think he's been playing me all along. That everything between us was just another game, and I was stupid enough to believe it was real. Some walls exist for a reason. I'm about to remember why.

Contains mature themes.
