In the context of human society, a family (from Latin: familia) is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity (by recognized birth),affinity (by marriage), or co-residence and/or shared consumption (see Nurture kinship). Fifteen year old Liam's family consists of his eighteen year old brother, Brett; then there's Jonah, Brett's best friend - who has loved Liam since he first set eyes on him, and their wacky friend Aiden. The three older boys have made it their priority to raise Liam together after Liam and Brett lost their mother under tragic circumstances. In public Liam is quiet and shy; small and a late bloomer, he often gets picked on at school. At home with his family, his personality blooms and he often becomes a mischievous imp keeping the older boys on their toes. This is a coming of age story about acceptance, family , but mostly about true love and what once person is willing to do for the person he loves. It is a boyxboy story, so if you are uncomfortable with this topic, please do not read any further.

This is Benji's story (from Breaking Finn) and how he met Ajax. Benji is 19, he suffers from A.D.H.D. (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder), but with a lot of support from his family and his best friend he has learned to cope well with it and is now in his first year at U.C.L.A. His friend Jamie brings him with her to a club and he is introduced into the bdsm lifestyle. His interest is piqued and after training to be a sub, he is matched with a Dom, Ajax. This is a bxb (or mxm) story with light bdsm and explicit sexual encounters. If you are at all offended by any of this, please, just walk away from this story. My writing is certainly not for everyone and that's okay. I use models in my stories to represent characters. For me it helps me to fully engage with the character if I have a face and I think the readers might feel the same. However, my use of their pictures has no connection with the models themselves. I do not know any of them (unfortunately), I do not know their sexual preferences or their lifestyle so any depiction in my story has nothing to do with the person in real life. I also like to add songs/videos to my chapters and most of the time the music reflects the chapter somehow, so it's definitely worth listening to them if you are able. My stories are works of fiction. They are subject to copyright legislation, so please do not steal my story. If you steal an idea here or there, I don't really care. If my story inspires you to write something, that's a good thing. There are two very talented writers currently writing stories about some of the characters in this story. This is something I asked them to do and am very excited where they are taking their stories. The two spin-offs are about Eric & Stephan and Rob & Peter. I encourage you to read them. Eric & Stephan's story is "Lessons in the Male Anatomy" and Rob & Peter's story is "Anxiously Yours". They are both fabulous! :)

"I know you and I are not about poems or other sentimental bullshit, but I have to tell you that even the way you drink coffee knocks me the fuck out." - Axel Clark has responsibilities. After his father left and his mother became an alcoholic, he took it upon himself to take care of his younger sister, Abby. Doing two part jobs, keeping his grades up, maintaining his position as captain of the swim team, and coming home in time to read Abby a bed time story every night, he's exhausted. He doesn't have time for romance, nor does he have the energy. That is, until, he meets Xavier Alexander. Xavier is content with his life, or so he tells himself. He's a jolly, outgoing and loud mess of a person who has a wonderful girlfriend, amazing friends, loving parents, a cool sister and average grades, but he stills feels like his life is incomplete. However, he thinks it's just a teenage phase, and takes a job at a local pizzeria to kill his boredom. And then he meets Axel Clark. And then on one fateful night when the two boys meet, their worlds collide and their lives begin changing in ways they'd never imagined. All cover credit goes to the wonderfully talented @mydearcc

********************SPOILER ALERT********************** DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BREAKING FINN, IT WILL RUIN THE ENDING!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a sequel to Breaking Finn. It's pretty much essential that you read that first. Everything that happens in this story is an aftermath to what happens in that story; therefore I have removed the description. Some readers who came here first, read the description and then were bummed out because in some ways, it was a spoiler for Breaking Finn. So... Just go read Breaking Finn first and then you will have a good idea what this sequel is going to be about. :) As usual, all photos of models that are used to portray my characters do not belong to me, and they have no connection to the real person. I have no knowledge of these models private life and this story in no way portrays them or their preferences. If you are one of my readers, you know that I like to use pictures of models and music videos to add depth to my chapters. We are a multi-media world now and I truly believe they add a lot to my story, so please look at both the picture and the music video. But again, note that the models have not given their permission nor endorsement to use their images here, I have just borrowed them from the internet. Since I don't make any money using their pictures here and I am letting you know that they have no connection to the story, I am hoping this is all good. If you do not like manxman stories, please do not continue on (though, if you read Breaking Finn and moved on to this sequel, I kinda have a hunch that you don't mind it). This story is my property, please do not copy it. All rights reserved, copyrighted, yada yada yada.
