Making It Fit by Ian O. Lewis

“It’s wrong to claim Victor, but it feels so right.”

When my best friend on the force Federico was killed in the line of duty, I swore to him as he died in my arms, I would take care of his baby brother, Victor.
I never went back on my word.

When Victor moved back to our hometown after college, he needed a place to stay. The kid was going to live next door to a crack house in a bad part of town, but I knew his older brother would haunt me if I let that happen, so I demanded he move into my spare bedroom.

When he showed up on my doorstep, his transformation from an awkward teenager to a striking young man floored me. Victor was everything I had ever wanted—smart, smoking hot, and innocent—but there was no way he could handle a rough around the edges cop like me.

I kept my paws to myself, until one day Victor told me he had never been with another man before. He wanted advice on how to get a boyfriend, and how to keep him.
That broke me.
I’d show Victor how to please a man, all right.
Me.
