Unrequited Sloth

An MM bisexual awakening forbidden romance

by Oliver Takely

Gabriel Mensah has secretly been in love with his sister’s fiancé for two long years. Bobby is kind, loyal, and everything Gabriel knows he shouldn’t want. Being the perfect brother in law to be is the only safe option… until Vegas happens.

At Bobby’s stag do, he discovers his fiancé and best friend have been having an affair. With Gabriel the only person he can trust, one night of heartbreak and too much tequila ends with them waking up in a hotel bed wearing matching wedding rings. They laugh it off as a Vegas stunt, until they’re back in London and learn the marriage is very real.

Bobby is kicked out and accused of being the one having the affair, leaving Gabriel to pick up the pieces. What starts as hero worship shifts into something deeper for Bobby, but he has no idea what to do with these new feelings. It’s only when he sees Gabriel on a date with someone else that he risks what’s left of his already broken heart.

Gabriel wants to protect Bobby, even if loving him has always been off limits. But how does he guard his own heart from the man who’s held it for two years? And when Bobby finally faces the truth about their accidental marriage, will he file for an annulment… or admit he married the right Mensah sibling all along?
