“You don’t have to pretend with us.”

The words hung between them, quiet but undeniable.

By the firelight, the truth finally surfaced — and nothing would feel the same again.

A Summer by the Lake — Part Two.

Desire deepens. Boundaries blur.

Ryan, Eli, and Nate step into a night that pulls them closer than any of them expected — a moment of heat, honesty, and connection that changes everything.

Written and narrated by Dani Hyden.

“You enjoying the view?”

Eli’s voice broke the silence, low and smooth.

Ryan turned, the lake glowing behind him — and for the first time in years, he forgot what loneliness felt like.

A Summer by the Lake — Part One.

Three men. One week of confession, heat, and unexpected connection.

A story of desire, freedom, and the moment when friendship becomes something more.
