Achilles is used to a life with rules and structure. Being attracted to men doesn't fit into what he considers structured. But he's used to burying things deep down, and this is just another item on the list. 

Xander crosses into his life, and he's completely outside the rules and the opposite of structure. Something about Xander makes Achilles' wolf sing, his blood jump and his heart soar, even if Xander is a man, even if he is a vampire. 

Innocuous meetings turn into a building attraction and Achilles wants to take the leap to be with Xander. Can he do it?

True Mates: The Beginning (mxm) by ViviAnneHunt

Connor has always known that he has a true mate out there and that he is male. Even when nobody believed him, he defended his mate. Even when his father wanted him to mate a good female breeder, Connor said no, staying true to his mate. The more years passed, the harder it was for Connor, who just wanted to find his true mate, once and for all. And when he finally turned up, it was a surprise for Connor to discover that his mate was not as excited about the bond as Connor himself. What will Connor do? No trigger warnings. Rated mature for minimal sexual content and language. Tropes: gay romance, fated/true mates, shifters, werewolves, opposites, age gap, slow burn. This story is completed, however, not finished entirely. This is just the beginning of Connor and Jamie's adventure, and if you want me to continue it, let me know. If not, the story can stand on its own as it is, without anything further. It's up to you. :)

This is about forgiveness with some trials along the way like getting knocked up by my boyfriend's brother Angelo, having Angelo find out six years after the fact, Angelo wanting to play 'Daddy' and not to mention my job as an exotic dancer just to list a few.

The Alpha Dragon's Prisoner by TonyaDavis240

Tika They delivered me to him on a silver platter. Four years ago I was an ordinary girl with a privileged life. After killing the only family I have left, they call this my penance. As I watch the man they call a monster from underneath my lashes, the handcuffs burn on my wrist. The orange jump suit makes sweat drip down my ample bosom as he growls at me. "Mate" he roars. The others around us freeze as we are lead in line. His eyes never leave me as he gives orders while others call him Alpha. With a snap of his fingers I watch as one of his men shreds himself apart to turn into a hideous beast. As I meet his golden gaze and my world starts to tilt, only one thing is clear. I just became the prisoner of a monster. ~ Xander When I imagined my mate, I saw a woman of strength and great beauty. When I met her eyes for the first time she wasn't in chains. She wasn't a prisoner facing persecution for a crime. I find the sweet scent of her to be contradicting. The way my cock hardens behind my robe as she looks at me from underneath her lashes, lets me know that she is a very bad girl indeed. In that moment I decided, since I always bring out the best in people.....this time, I want to bring out the worst.
