Mason Reid has always been straight. At least, that's what he's always believed. After a breakup and a messy transfer, Mason wants one thing: basketball, graduation, and a life that makes sense again. Then there's Noah Carter. His quiet, guarded roommate isn't Mason's type. He isn't supposed to be a type at all. But shared meals become late-night conversations. Accidental touches become impossible to ignore.
And somewhere between bad practices, ordinary mornings, and the way Noah seems to see through every excuse Mason makes, curiosity becomes something Mason can't explain away. So they make an agreement. An experiment. No labels. No expectations. No promises. Just enough for Mason to figure out what he wants. There's only one problem. The more lines they cross, the less Mason wants to go back. And when Noah's future threatens to take him thousands of miles away, Mason has to confront a question far more frightening than who he's attracted to:What happens when the experiment is over-but you've fallen in love with the person on the other side of it?Some roommates are temporary.
Some experiments change everything.
