Hearts in Opposition is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and self-discovery set against the high-stakes world of college basketball. ••• His gaze locks onto mine, dark and full of intent, as his fingers toy with the edge of my own shorts. "Do you trust me?" he asks softly, his eyes searching mine. I nod, my voice barely above a whisper. "Yes." In one swift motion, he unties the knot, the fabric slipping away to leave us bare. The intimacy of the moment steals my breath, every nerve ending in my body alive and humming with anticipation. Drew's hand slides up my thigh, his touch igniting a fire that burns hotter than the steaming water around us. His fingers move with deliberate precision, drawing soft gasps from my lips as he explores every inch of me. "Say my name," he commands, his voice rough and filled with desire. "Drew," I manage, my voice trembling. "Please..." A triumphant smirk curves his lips, and he leans in, his mouth capturing mine once more. The kiss is fierce, a battle for control that leaves me dizzy and breathless. •••

[Novel One: The first installment in the Fake Boyfriend series, with each novel serving as a standalone story.] ••• I'm halfway through my second cup of coffee when Vinnie storms into the living room, radiating chaos and enough confidence to power a small nation. His damp hair curls at the edges like he's just escaped a shampoo ad, and he's wearing sweatpants, a hoodie that's seen better days, and a grin that screams trouble. "Noah!" He claps his hands together like he's about to lead a pep rally. "Put down the coffee. We're going on a fake boyfriend mission." I lower my mug, narrowing my eyes. "Define 'mission.' Because if it's like last time, when I had to hold your hand in the quad for twenty minutes while you monologued about astrology, I'm busy." "Excuse you, that was educational," he says, pointing a finger at me. "But this is next level. We're taking Instagram couple pics." I blink. "Do I look like someone who takes Instagram couple pics?" "No. That's why I'm here. You're my canvas, Picasso." He flops onto the couch next to me, nearly knocking my mug out of my hand. "And lucky for you, I'm an artist. A master of illusions." "You mean delusions," I deadpan. "And since when are you an Instagram expert? You only figured out filters last week after posting six versions of the same sunset." He waves this off like it's ancient history. "The sunset was iconic, and I learned from my mistakes. Anyway, we're burning daylight. Wear this." A shirt smacks me in the face before I can respond. It smells like his detergent-citrusy and a little too comforting. I pull it off my head and hold it up. "Why does it say 'Property of Vinnie Hacker'? Are you branding me now?" He grins, all teeth and mischief. "Of course. It's called commitment to the bit. You're my fake boyfriend. Own it." •••

Dale Brooks is a charming guy with great humor and awful communication skills. He has a crush on a boy, but he's too nervous to tell him that. Liam Blackwell is Dale's brother's best friend, and he offers to help Dale, but he has to help him with something that Liam wants in return. Dale is not very fond of Liam because he despises him, and also because Liam is a dipshit and a womanizer. Will Dale accept the offer that Liam has in store for him? Or will he just wait until his crush approach him? Follow the journey of Dale Brooks as he discovers what's beneath the surface. ••• I swore I could see desperation in his eyes. "You need my help? Here's the reality; no, I am not helping you. Why would I help an Antichrist? God already forgave me for things I've done." "Lilly and Liam - double L," he retaliated proudly, "it's faited for us to be together." I continued to glare daggers at him. "My best friend is not for sale! I'm not going to set you guys up. Didn't you get the memo?" He rolled his eyes at my reply, the same time a smirk appeared on his face. He was so cocky it was unsettling. "Dalley, come on, please?" he begged, "I never ask you for anything." "The fact that you're calling me that is not helping," I responded as I turned around on my heel and waved him goodbye, heading straight for the front door. "I will get something to hold against you!" Raising my hand in the hair, a very specific finger on display, I made sure to yell, "when you can get a full supply of pizza and chocolate muffins then maybe we can talk!" "Dale, hey, come on! Please-" I shut the front door. Good riddance. ••• This is a boyxboy story, in other words a relationship between two male individuals. No hateful comments will be tolerated cause I will delete it.
