When Arthur is convinced by Jack to join his writer's team, they find out that there's a lot more to each other than a professional relationship.

In the Closet (boy x boy)
Billy Miller is not gay. He's not even sure he's anything at all because he doesn't like people. But that's alright. His parents, his fish and his clingy neighbor he can't quite get rid of since middle school are enough for him. For now. --- Billy is a Junior in high school and he likes to think he's pretty cool. He enjoys making lists and he adores animals. He doesn't bother people and people don't bother him back, at least that's what he would expect. Until, as he hides in a closet at a party he was forcefully dragged in, he witnesses two boys french-kissing in there. One of them is Tavish McCloud. The other, it doesn't matter. Billy's mind spins and spins. Tavish is a perplexing hot mess that Billy doesn't know much about. His only choice is to make a list. - He knows his name is pronounced as Thomas. - He knows he's tall and handsome. - He knows he's Scottish. - He knows he's a senior with two grade retentions. - He knows he partakes in a crazy amount of lifting competitions. - He knows he has won a crazy amount of lifting competitions as well. - He knows he might enter the Olympics in a few years; everyone has been talking about it at school. - He knows he's hotheaded; everyone talks about it too, but behind closed doors. - He knows he has fucking nice hands. And, what he doesn't know yet but he's about to learn soon, Tavish can be annoying as fuck when he makes pestering you his life mission. --- Somebody's in the closet. Somebody hasn't even had the courage nor the will to step into the closet. That makes for a pretty neat love story.Complete![𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐌𝐄 [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/370565937-256-k970397.jpg)

౨ৎ [𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 #𝟏][𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄] ౨ৎ He's the one man who could ruin her future. She's the one temptation he can't resist. In the quiet, gossiping corners of small town Grantford, Pennsylvania, secrets are hard to keep and even harder to survive. Rose Winward has fought for every inch of her education. Between two jobs and a hard-earned scholarship at Darwin State, she's months away from the finish line. She has a plan, and it doesn't include distractions―especially not the gorgeous, silver-tongued professor standing at the front of her lecture hall who's twelve years older than her. Professor Roman Whitlock is everything he shouldn't be: dominant, alluring, and completely off-limits. As the heir to the university's biggest donors, Roman is used to the rules not being for him. But even he knows that Rose is a line he shouldn't cross―not when a single scandal could rock the town and destroy her future. From the moment their eyes meet, the air sparks with a dangerous hunger. One touch could cost Rose her scholarship. One reckless night could cost Roman his career. But in a town where everyone is watching, the "wrong" choice has never felt so right. In this game of forbidden desire, are they willing to risk everything for a love that could burn them both? ✎ 📈 HIGHEST RANKINGS: ☻ #1 in #university | 12/02/2024 ☻ #1 in #goodgirl | 03/13/2025 ☻ #1 in #forbiddenromance | 01/23/2026 ☻ #1 in #student | 01/24/2026 ☻ #1 in #teacher | 01/30/2026 ☻ #1 in #rich | 02/08/2026 ☻ #1 in #steamy | 02/28/2026 ☻ #1 in #maturethemes | 05/14/2026 ☻ #1 in #waitress | 06/08/2026 ✎ 🚨 PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMERS/CONTENT WARNINGS/TROPES PAGE.
