A broken boy looking for protection in prison..what could go so wrong ? Ready to find out! Newly re-edited and updated! MxM

﹡ ﹡ ﹡ When the weed wears off and the room goes still, it's his name that echoes. His weight against your shoulder. His hand on your chest. And suddenly the line between comfort and something else starts to blur. ﹡ ﹡ ﹡

I always felt like I was carrying something on my back-bills, family, expectations that weighed more than my own body. Being a first-gen student wasn't a dream, it was a debt and graduate school was currently kicking my ass. I kept my head down, locs falling in my face as I scribbled notes, just trying to stay invisible. But when Professor Kyrie Knight leaned against my desk, his eyes steady on mine, I felt seen in a way that scared me. My name's Cameron Cross, and maybe I was meant to carry this weight-but for the first time, I wondered if I had to carry it alone.

Everybody knew they were too close. The late-night calls, the jealousy, the lingering touches, the way they always found their way back to each other. But when feelings start turning into something neither of them can ignore, their entire friend group begins to notice what they've been trying not to admit. Maybe it wasn't just friendship after all. Maybe it had always been you.

Kaiden enters prison still emotional, loud, and full of life. Saint had already become hardened by years behind bars after being incarcerated at fourteen for protecting his little sister from abuse. Together, they slowly learn that even in a cold, violent environment, love, vulnerability, and trust can still exist. Even hearts surrounded by concrete can still feel something.

Everybody expected Jalen Carter to crash out after prison. Instead, he came home trying to be a father. Trying to stay free. Trying to move differently. Trying not to lose himself again. But Amir Johnson makes that shit difficult. His best friend has been attached to his side since they were kids, still loud, still reckless, still the only person who can get under Jalen's skin without trying. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension building between them. Now with his baby mama wanting their family back, old street problems resurfacing, and feelings neither of them knows how to handle... everything they built together could either save them- or destroy them..

Reread the title. It explains it all.

Azir is in the hospital after getting shot, and Bry is dealing with the loss of his grandmother. Nothing feels right-Bry's not in school, Azir's not waking up, and the people around them are getting more dangerous. You need to read Book 1 first to understand what's going on in this story. This book dives deeper into who Azir and Bry really are-and what they're willing to do for each other.
