EXTRA INNINGS — Chapter 22 Now Live

No teammates. No pressure. No pretending.

Just two boys on a spring day — hiking, laughing, cooking over a fire, and forgetting the world exists.

Jake follows Logan deep into the woods, where the trail ends and everything unnecessary falls away.
They strip down without speaking. Share food without checking clocks. Watch the sky turn gold, then pink, then stars.

No plan. No roles. Just presence. Just peace.
And by nightfall, something neither of them can deny anymore.

In This Chapter:

• A silent hike and a hidden clearing

• Sun-kissed skin and shared teasing

• Naked naps and slow exploration

• Jake letting go again — emotionally and physically

• Stargazing, body worship, and one final truth written in breath

📬 Chapters drop in real time. Expect slow burn, fast hands, and emotional fallout.

Beneath the Harvest Sun is a slow-burn rural queer love story told in heat, silence, and hard-earned trust. Set against the fields of northern Kansas, it follows Colt Carter, a stubborn farm kid trying to hold his family's land together, and Mason, the quiet newcomer with too much to hide and nowhere else to go.

What begins with hard work and long glances becomes something deeper. But in a town where queerness is feared and family names carry weight, nothing comes easy. Love, if it shows up, will have to fight to stay.

This is a story for readers who crave build-up, emotional tension, and intimacy that’s earned over time — with moments of heat woven through every aching pause.
