Pure
Dumb Luck
by
Dahlia Donovan
Genre:
Contemporary M/M Romance
When
two small-town country dudes win the lottery, they finally find the
courage to speak their truth.
An unexpected adventure
follows.
Linwood "Woody" Robinson has a routine.
He works for his baby brother in construction, buys three lottery
tickets every week, and lusts after his best friend from high school.
He's done the same thing for twenty years.
Eddison "Eddie"
Howard owns the only gas station in their small South Carolina town,
sells lottery tickets, and lusts after his best friend from afar.
They joke around but never speak their truth. He knows they're
cowards but can't seem to find the courage to bridge the gulf between
them.
And then they win eighty million dollars.
Life
changes.
They go from never talking about their feelings to
facing the world together.
Can anything pull them apart?
“Go
inside. Buy your lottery tickets. Shoot the shit—all calm and
natural-like.” Woody gripped the steering wheel of his pickup truck
tightly, trying to talk himself into getting out of it. A familiar
pep talk. Familiar and oft repeated. “You’ve known Eddie since
elementary school. You’ve been staring at his ass since he played
quarterback to your running back in junior high. No point in getting
all fucking weird around him now.” Patting
the bobblehead football player on his dashboard for good luck, Woody
reluctantly slipped out of his truck. He slammed the door and
plastered a grin on his face. Lottery tickets wouldn’t buy
themselves. And
Eddie had already seen his truck. If he ran away now, he’d never
hear the end of it. The temptation to get back into his vehicle was
strong. C’mon.
This
is not even close to the hardest part of your day. Except
it had definitely become the most difficult daily event. Woody had
never considered himself a coward, yet every single morning, he
walked into the gas station to see his best friend, the person he’d
been in love with for years, and said nothing beyond small talk. He
never told the truth of the ache in his heart growing too painful to
ignore. He couldn’t. What if Eddie rejected him? “Your
usual?” Woody
grinned at Eddie, who ran the family-owned gas station in their
little country town nestled in the middle of a national forest in the
southern Appalachian Mountains. “You know me. Boring as shit. I’m
consistent, at least.” “One
large coffee, one pack of powdered donuts, and three lottery tickets.
Two for you, one for me.” Eddie rolled his dark brown eyes and held
out a large hand for the card Woody held out to him. “You never
change, dude. You’ve been doing this for twenty years—since high
school. I know Coach said you were full of dumb luck, but I don’t
think he meant with the Mega Millions.” “Have
a little faith, Eddie.” He grabbed both his breakfast and the
lottery tickets, winking at his oldest friend, who hadn’t changed
much in the thirty years since they’d known each other. Still
as fucking hot as the day I first saw him in the shower at the gym.
His
warm brown skin had glistened under the shower. Maybe
stop thinking about Eddie naked in the middle of the gas station. “We
still on for fishing this weekend?”
“Unless
you get lucky with your numbers. If you do, we’ll go fishing on a
yacht instead of your granddaddy’s rickety old boat.” He tapped a
finger against the ticket stub in Woody’s hand. “Go on. Get your
ass out of here. You’re ruining the atmosphere. Plus, I like
watching you leave.”
