Yanna "Babydoll" Hill has it all-money, beauty, and the kind of privilege that makes the world bend at her feet. As the spoiled daughter of one of Manhattan's richest men, she's used to getting what she wants... except when it comes to her love life. Forced into a fake relationship with Wyatt, the golden boy from another powerful family, Yanna is miserable, rebellious, and ready to risk it all-especially for the right woman. Enter Ren. A 6'0 ex-military bodyguard from Louisiana, Ren is assigned to shadow Yanna's every move after one too many reckless nights out. She's all discipline, muscle, and mystery, and she's making it very hard for Yanna to behave. Between sneaking out to wild parties, dodging her overbearing father, and dealing with a boyfriend she never wanted, Yanna finds herself caught in a game of tension and temptation with the one woman she shouldn't want. But what happens when "babysitting" turns into something else? And when Wyatt starts to notice that Yanna's attention isn't on him anymore, things get dangerous. In a world where image is everything, power is dangerous, and love is a luxury, will Yanna play by the rules-or will she finally take what she wants?

Tyler is convicted of a crime that he doesn't believe that he did, and the weirdest part, that no one will tell him what it is. All he knows is that earlier that day, he was with Josh in their woods, the woods that held their tree house, and now he was in a jailhouse wearing an orange jumpsuit and blood on his hands. He befriends a boy with honestly way too much eyeliner, a quiet boy who was in an illegal relationship with another officer, and more boys who have done awful things that Tyler would never dream of doing. There's one thing that's not right, however - Josh is missing. And Tyler can't find him. Until one faithful day, he turns up. And then he just disappears.

Andy gets to reconsider all the choices that led him up to the present and faces regrets he hoped he'd silenced a while ago. But there is an unfinished matter calling from the past, a demanding apology and painful longing for something that had once been there. There exists no way to get it back, not anymore. A decade is a lot of time to take, after all. And yet, it doesn't hurt so much to send one text, to reach out, just to test the waters, in hopes things can be only a little bit like they used to be when they both were young. Some things, we're never getting back. Other things, no one can take away from us.Complete

Love With Teeth.
Philip squirmed between his arms. His lips were cold against his own. But damn him was it good. So good. Fuck. How did he even get in this situation?! Dating a serial killer?? This was insane!! Philip shuddered. He couldn't imagine what else he had done. Philip winced as his waist got pulled closer. Between muffled moans and angry pulls on clothes, he managed to choke out a sentence. "You're crazy!!" Just two words. But there couldn't have been more truth in them. The man grinned. "You love me." Yeah. He did. Philip loved him. More than anything. He flinched as he leaned his forehead against his own. "You know I'd never hurt you." He kissed Philip's neck. "You're the only person I'd never hurt, I love you." Philip's mouth went slack around the edges. "I..." He shouldn't, he really shouldn't. "I love you too..." He whispered just before their lips met again and this time, he didn't fight back. _________________________________________ Triggers: LGBTQ+ (This is a warning for the homophobic ppl bc I WILL eat ur ass for any and all homophobia I see.)
