Shannon Cole has always survived by noticing what others miss. Numbers stick. Faces linger. Conversations don't fade. In the hood, that kind of mind doesn't stay unnoticed-it gets used. Shannon has become a quiet resource, passed between crews whenever something needs remembering, calculating, or confirming. He tells himself it's temporary. Just helping. Just staying afloat. Until everyone wants him. As gangs begin circling closer, access to Shannon turns into competition-and then into risk. Because when too many people want what you know, someone eventually decides you're too valuable to share. Tiger Laurent doesn't compete. He decides. Tiger runs things with calm precision, and when he claims Shannon, it isn't curiosity-it's control. Pulled out of circulation and placed under Tiger's watch, Shannon finds himself safer than he's ever been-and more trapped than he imagined possible. Protection blurs into possession. Use starts to feel permanent. And the more indispensable Shannon becomes, the harder it is to tell whether he's being kept alive... or quietly erased.

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25

Jake T. Anderson vs. Alfredo Barbieri When primal instincts collide. Jake T. Anderson has battled monsters, navigated cutthroat council politics, and survived power plays that could level nations-but nothing prepared him for Alfredo Barbieri. A two-century-old vampire with a mouth that never quits and a body that practically begs for discipline, Alfredo is chaos incarnate. And from the moment Jake lays eyes on him, he knows one thing for certain-this chaos is his to command. The vampire pushes every limit, claws at every rule-but soon, he will learn exactly what it means to kneel for his mate. Not out of weakness, but because deep down, he craves to submit to that one person who sees the wildfire in him... and chooses to burn alongside it. Alfredo Barbieri has survived streets, syndicates, and centuries of darkness-but nothing shakes him like Jake T. Anderson. The werewolf alpha is seven feet of raw power, ruthless charm, and dominant energy that threatens to rip the ground right out from under him. He doesn't ask. He commands. And worse- Alfredo like it. The alpha sees straight through the bravado, the sarcasm, and the centuries-old armor Alfredo hides behind-and dares him to misbehave, just for the pleasure of correcting it. He should run. Should fight. But the terrifying truth is that Alfredo wants to be his. Not his pet. Not his prize. But his to tame. His to break. His to own. One vampire's chaos. One alpha's control. And one bond neither of them saw coming.
