Gilliam Tomlinson had had to fight for every ounce of respect he had ever managed to gain from the Texas Rangers. His late father had been less than an honorable man and it seemed that despite Gilliam's attempts to distance himself from that memory, he carried his deceased father's legacy along with him like a heavy wool cloak he never could quite shake off. Then the chance he'd been waiting for fell right into his lap. A gang led by a mysterious outlaw who had so far evaded any notice had been wreaking havoc and stealing cattle from the rich land barons of Texas and they wanted it stopped. Gilliam's job was simple: infiltrate the gang, learn about their leader, gain their trust and then bring them down. It should have been easy. It should have been a simple, cut and dry operation... but Gilliam had never imagined the gang leader would have such fiery green eyes and he'd certainly never imagined the leader would be a man named Jeb who made his body heat up and his brain shut down. What follows is a struggle unlike any Gilliam has ever known. Law, order and duty tell him what he was supposed to do but there was something about that man, something about that life, something about the way he felt among those people that just felt right. Now he faced a choice. Listen to the code of a lawman or the heart of an outlaw.

SEQUEL TO CHECKMATE. However, you can read this as a stand-alone spin-off, BUT it will make so much more sense if you read Checkmate first. --- To put it briefly, Zedd is a homophobic asshole. His popularity is largely thanks to being a soccer jock. But he has a tendency of ruining friendships without even trying. Mitch thinks there's more to Zedd that meets the eye. He feels like he's hiding something. And that he is in danger. Where else could the bruises be coming from? But it's going to be harder for Mitch to help out his friend now that Zedd refuses to talk to him ever since a slight incident in the change rooms. --- Best rankings: #1 - comingoutofthecloset | #1 - suffering | #2 - hiddensecrets | #5 - homophobia | #7 - assault | #8 - acceptance | #12 - gaylove "It was a pleasure to make this journey with your characters. I think I never hate then love so much a character like I do for Zedd! The way he teached me that we should never judge a person until we know all his history because we could be surprised by who he is really. Thank you for these two beautiful stories." - @VanessaFerey --- WARNING: will contain coarse language and slurs, lots of innuendos and 3 mature scenes (a warning will be indicated and they are not critical to the plot so they can be skipped if not your cup of tea).

He's Captain of the Deanville Warriors, the most popular boy in College and he can have any girl whenever, wherever, he wants. Only problem is; whilst those girls are itching to drag him into the nearest cloakroom, he's casually checking out the guy stood behind her. That's right, Mr. Popular's gay. And he has no choice but to hide it in a College that expects him to be straight, a family that demands it and a mindset that argues he can handle it. Or at least, he thought he could handle it. All that changes when he bumps into Kody Freakin' Jacks and together, they start to question whether somethings aren't worth challenging after all. Regardless of the consequences. Who knew Following The Rules could be so hard? Copyright © 2019 Roses17

"I'm curious, you can read my mind but I can't read yours. What are you thinking?" I question him curiously, seeing his lips tighten into a straight line. His hand rested on the mirror, seeing his finger rest on my face. He bites his lip only to soon move it off. When he turns now I see him look at me and I wait. "I'm thinking...how handsome you are, that's what I am thinking." He murmurs to me and I raise my eyebrow. "I am thinking that, I promise!" "I believe you." I chuckle, and he looks away shyly.
