After a warning from his doctor, Caleb Smith is looking for ways to get healthy in both body and mind. His sister Katie convinces him to give yoga a try, and he's surprised to find that Sasha Volsky, his boyfriend from high school, is her teacher.

At first, Caleb is more interested in reuniting with Sasha than in yoga, but Sasha has a single condition before they can become involved again. Caleb has to take care of himself. Can Caleb find balance between what he wants and what he needs? The answer may be as simple as breathing.

"You've forgotten how to lose yourself. How's your meditation been going? "

"Not well," Caleb admitted. "I think I hate silence."

"A lot of people do. When I first started teaching yoga I used to have silence while we did meditation and people complained that they couldn't tune out their own thoughts." He reached over and pushed his hand through Caleb's hair. "But I still think it's necessary, especially for you."

"You'll help me, right?"

Sasha chuckled, his fingers still combing through Caleb's hair. "Of course I'll help you."

Caleb held Sasha's hand and kissed his palm. "Admit it. You want me around."

"Oh, Caleb," Sasha said quietly. "I always did."

Caleb kissed Sasha, unable to hold himself back any longer. Sasha's mouth tasted like honey and spices, and he held Caleb's face and stroked his cheekbone with a thumb. They kissed slow and sweet, and Sasha's hand slid down Caleb's neck to his chest to rub over the center.

"Checking my heartbeat again?"

"Yes," Sasha whispered. "It seems healthy to me. How do you feel?"

"Great," Caleb said, "I feel great," and he kissed Sasha deeper. His heart was beating fast, but no panicky, helpless feeling came with it -- instead he felt wide open.
