When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide. Trapped between a ruthless father, a dead-end job, and a future that feels just out of reach, he spends his nights on park benches clinging to one goal: get into college and get out for good. What he doesn't plan on is Noah Black. Vice President of the Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club. Infamous. Observant. Relentless. Far too charming for a man with a reputation for violence, and determined to pry into wounds Elliot would rather pretend don't exist. Through chance encounters and sleepless nights, the two can't seem to avoid each other. But Noah's life comes with complications: a motorcycle club under pressure, threats closing in, and loyalties that crumble when tested. As Elliot drifts deeper into Noah's current, he cannot help but realize how dangerously close he's falling -- even as deadly secrets threaten to unravel everything they've fought so hard for. Soon, Elliot must face a choice: keep chasing the life he's always dreamed of, or confront the truths that could shatter everything he knows... including his past, his heart, and the man who refuses to let him go.

Or will Ryker's soft touch melt Ashton's stone cold heart? *** "You're crazy," Ashton whispered. "Yes," Ryker continued. "For you." "No. You're just crazy. Period." *** [mxm] [marked mature for sexual content]

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings.

Ariste liebt sich nicht. Aber Elias tut es. Und inmitten Selbstzweifel, Zigarettenstummeln und warmen Wangen zeigt er es ihm. ©rapuenzel; oktober 2020

[Teil 3 der Not-Your-Reihe] Manche würden Gwaine Moreau als arrogant bezeichnen, eitel, vielleicht sogar als einen völlig abgehobenen Arsch. Doch in einem war sich jeder einig: Gwaine war der Beste. In allem was er tat. Und war er es nicht, würde er es werden. Als älteste Sohn der Moreau Familie trägt er eine große Verantwortung. Er soll später einmal das Erbe seines Vaters übernehmen. Ihn stolz machen. Und nichts fällt ihm leichter als das. Doch als er seine Zeit am College antritt, steht ihm eine völlig neue Welt offen. Eine Welt in dem sein Platz an der Spitze in Frage gestellt wird. Plötzlich muss er sich nicht nur mit Familiendramen herum schlagen, sondern auch noch mit einem besonders nervigen Mitbewohner! Charlie Meadows ist ein Stipendiat der für seine Zeit am College nicht viel mehr vorhat, als seine Prüfungen zu bestehen um später einen guten Job zu landen. Er hatte nicht geplant, einen der reichsten Männer New Yorks herauszufordern. Geschweige denn sich mit ihm ein Zimmer zu teilen?!

[Teil 2 der Not-Your-Reihe] Die Welt weiß über Lancelot Moreau nicht viel mehr, als seinen Nachnamen und die Fehler, die er begangen hat. Im Schatten seiner Brüder und hinter dem Reichtum seiner Eltern verborgen, scheint er einzig die Rolle der Enttäuschung zu tragen. Doch Lancelot hat das nie gestört. Er will sich den Vorstellungen seiner Eltern nicht anpassen, und schon gar nicht so etwas wie ein verantwortungsvolles Leben führen! Für ihn zählt nur das hier und jetzt. Doch die Dinge ändern sich, als er mit einer waghalsigen Aktion nicht nur sich selbst in Gefahr bringt. Ein entscheidender Abend zwingt ihn dazu, sich gravierenden Konsequenzen zu stellen, die nicht nur sein Leben für immer verändern werden. Dean wollte nichts als ein wenig Ruhe. Doch die Sorge um seine Mutter und finanzielle Probleme führen ihn in eine neue Stadt - und direkt in die Wohnung neben einem wahnsinnigen, zudem auch verwirrend charmanten, Spinner. Schnell steht fest, dass sein ach so ersehnter Frieden in großer Gefahr steht, als er immer weiter in die Probleme von Lancelots Welt rutscht. Kann er aus dem Ganzen aussteigen, bevor es zu spät ist? Und was steckt wirklich hinter der Fassade seines neuen Nachbarn? _____________________________________ [boyxboy] TW: -Gewaltszenen -Drogen / Sucht / Selbstverletzung -vulgäre Sprache, Schimpfwörter Beginn: 10.07.23 Ende: 18. 11. 23 Kurze, aber viele Kapitel.

"I fucking hate you." "You shouldn't really say things like that when my dick is up your ass, Norris." Two hot-headed athletes with overflowing rage and unwinding sex drive is very much never a good combo. Bryce and Ian never see eye to eye on things. Despite being caged in the same group of friends in the same swimming team of the - yes, you guessed it - same high school, the star swimmers of Norton High hadn't exactly made good first impressions to each other on the ill-fated day they met, and let's just say things spiraled horribly from there. The two rage-fueled boys always thought that they're in this feud for the long haul until one argument escalated into something that at no point in any of their lives would they allow to happen if only they did not get a little too out of control. Sex. There's a thin line between love and hate, and Bryce and Ian's barrier just keeps getting thinner and thinner. A.K.A. Bryce and Ian were fuckbuddies... up until they weren't.

Falling in love with your brother's best friends shouldn't have been as easy as it was, but here Harrison was, hopelessly and utterly in love. The only things was, they were already dating. Good thing they thought his puppy love was absolutely adorable. - bxbxb : basically just fluff and way too much smut disclaimer: this story has nothing to do with PET

Warning: RWB spoilers ahead. Some say the best love stories often take time. Emery Chernychevsky has had a crush on Cameron Brooks since he can remember. Watching him date different girls all throughout high school was nothing if not pure torture, especially when he knew he didn't stand a chance against any of them. Safe to say, he spent his single years in a long-term ache he did not once divulge to anyone, but even that did not come close to the night Cameron confessed. The night Cameron confessed his undying love for someone else. Realizing that he was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with Cameron wasn't easy, and finding out that Cameron was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with his best friend was no picnic either. Things weren't certainly made better when their friends decided to spend the entire summer holed up together in Blake's summer house, putting Emery's initial plan of getting over Cameron before he starts college into a ten-week-long agonizing pause. Of course, be that as it may, fate has had a nick of testing Emery's patience... as it only gets a little worse━then, a little better━and right back to irremediable worst of worst from there. Spin-off to Rage With Benefits. Can be read as a stand-alone but a number of references will be made from the first book.
