If someone had a high sex drive, but all of their many hook-ups were devoid of any real sexual pleasure, and they never felt the need for mushy, fluffy, romantic cuddling nonsense. Wouldn't it be easy to assume that maybe the minuscule levels of desire, lust, or emotional attachment they felt were normal? Maybe they would assume they just weren't built for relationships like other people and never would be. 
Demiromantic and Demisexual Devlin De Luca, grew up within heteronormative social constructs, never exposed to anything different. While his family wasn't homophobic, they also never bothered considering that their children may not be heterosexual. Sexuality just wasn't something they discussed as a family. Devlin lived his entire life based on assumptions and only ever felt an emotional attachment for his family members and his best friend Michael. 
Devlin and Michael formed an exceptionally deep friendship that has existed since Devlin came to Michael's rescue on their kindergarten playground.  What if Michael was the one person that Devlin could find safety, friendship, and happiness with. Would he even recognize that the love he feels for Michael is anything beyond their deep bond of friendship is there was no reason to be anything other than platonic? Would he ever know something was missing in his life? 

Arrogant to a fault, violent and loves to fight, thoughtless and cold-hearted to all but those closest to him, Devlin De Luca. He is my best friend, my constant companion since grade school. If you ever see one of us without the other, its because you didn't look hard enough.  

And though he didn't know it yet, I was in love with him.

I'm dating a popstar. Pretty big, yeah. Too big, it turns out. I knew this life would bring its own drama. I just... Well, I guess I didn't think I would be the one to shatter everything. I guess I should go back a bit. Hi, my name's Fletcher. Er, sorry. I'm not so great at this. I'm pretty awful, actually. Uh, where was... Right. I'm twenty-two and I have-and I hope you won't think any differently of me-but I have Tourette's. See, it's this pretty irritating little thing that kind of defines so much about me. And also it doesn't. My actions define me, not some tics of a broken mind. It can get pretty bad, but I'm not alone. I've always had people at my back, otherwise, I think I'd have given up long ago. I consider myself a decent guy. I don't do drama, okay. But we're four guys. Four very different guys on a world tour and that's four beating hearts with their own reasons to beat a little slower. Or a little quicker. My boyfriend is Clay Hudson. You've probably heard of him. He had this familiar, yet killer story of overcoming pain and a nasty drug addiction. And then he became a popstar. I know, right. It's usually the other way around. But Clay's pretty backwards like that. And I love him despite all the scars, love him because I have always loved him. I don't think it's possible for us to lose each other. I hope. Clay hurt me once. I don't ever want to hurt him, but I've been thrust into a life I was never prepared for. Kai pisses me off every time he opens his mouth; Ansel drinks when the going gets rough, hiding God knows what secret, and maybe I think I'm hurting those closest to me with some secrets of my own. I am following in the footsteps of a legend, but I'm not leaving any footprints of my own. Music is everything to me now, but I am silenced by the soundwaves, and no one dances to the beat of my heart. So, will you? --The sequel to Finding the Pure Note--

Before I knew it my shirt was torn away from my torso and tossed on the floor, Charlie's doing the same. Our kiss intensified and I felt him groan against my lips. I swear to god, this boy is making out with me like his life depends on it! And that's when reality punched me in the gut... the words 'this boy' kept running through my head over and over again until it got through the thick fog of vodlka and whatever else was in those stupid drinks. I, Ace Loughty, was kissing a guy. A fucking guy. A fucking straight guy named Charlie Simmons who of course had to be one of the most popular dickheads in Meadow Ridge High. I am so unbelievably fucked. ----- 17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone. When Ace was 13, the tragic death of his younger sister Eleanor caused him to rapidly gain popularity and pitiful looks. He hated the attention. All of a sudden everyone wanted to be friends with the dead girls brother, they'd promise Ace he would never be alone that they would always be there for him, which he of course knew was untrue, they're all just hungry for attention. Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it. That is until 4 years later when he found himself sprawled out on a bed. With Charlie Simmons hovering over him. Charlie Simmons who was kissing Ace like he would die if he ever dared to stop. Which was all too true. Without kissing Ace, Charlie was as good as dead. *WARNING*: This story will contain themes of severe depression, suicide, abuse and somewhat graphic depiction of self harm. If any of these things may trigger you please rethink reading this story!! Started: January 21st 2020

Book 1 - Moon series Part 1 of a Duet. This is book 1 of the Alpha series, but this book was so long that I split it into 2 parts. Part 2 is titled Beta Enzo - and is only available on REAM - link in my Bio❤️ This book is COMPLETE, but ends on a major cliffhanger. You've been warned😘 __________ 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 - I was the youngest Alpha to take over a pack in centuries, at the tender age of 16 due to the death of my father. A death caused by my own doing. In my opinion, the prick deserved it from the things that my mother and I had to endure before I was forced to watch him kill her in front of me - completely shattering all that was good in the world. I was only eleven years old. According to my Beta, Enzo - that was the last day that I smiled and the day that my wolf came to me, making me one of the youngest shifters in history. It took five years for me to bulk up and gain the strength that I needed to kill my father with Enzo's help. After that - Every wrong thing in the world seemed to fade away, even though my smile hadn't returned. Until I found him - my mate - who took me by surprise as I'm not gay, but that fact didn't stop me from wanting him. Romello was a wolf living among humans, raised by a man who had a strong connection to his past that shockingly enough - was darker than my own. And being mated to a man that had a past darker than my own wasn't the craziest part of my now spiraling life. I'd been blessed by the Moon Goddess herself with something that'd been thought to be nothing but a mere myth within the werewolf community. I didn't just have one fated mate... But two.
REVISED:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer (BxB) by Jeanne_Wolf
32 parts Complete Mature
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips. His hands gently gripped my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His quicksilver eyes were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a few kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places. I glanced back at Leo. His gaze was still as intense as it was before. He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy. Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding...the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him, but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that you have to live in the present, as you may not have a future.
