What does a father get his blind son for his birthday? What if that son doesn't have long to live?

Yea, a whole town may say they "care" and send him teddy bears and flowers. But they don't get it. 

What is it that makes a bond between a father and son so strong?

New Beginnings by Virginia969427

Can Tracy overcome a lifetime of abuse and will Jeff be able to set aside his self-doubts in order for the two of them to find true love and happiness? Excerpt: Oh, my God! You're breaking my heart! Jeff cried out inside. Who's the fucker that made you this scared? I'll kill him! "Whoa," Jeff said quietly as he put his hands down and took a seat on the floor. "Tracy, it's okay. Hey, look at me." Tracy's posture was full on defensive, like he was waiting for the blows. Even though Jeff wanted to cry for this boy and wrap him up in a tight hug, telling him he'd be alright, instinct told him not to touch him right now. "Tracy, please, look at me," Jeff repeated in as soothing a voice as he could, "it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I want you to hear me and understand. I will never hit you." The tears silently fell down Tracy's cheeks and Jeff knew his words had finally been heard. "Never," he said again for good measure. He reached out his hand to wipe away the tears and before he knew it, Tracy was in his arms. The overwhelming need Jeff had to show Tracy that he was safe manifested itself into a giant bear hug. Tracy laid his head on Jeff's shoulder and accepted this man's affection.

A Pinch of Cinnamon by KaliFields

COMPLETE "Just how wet are you for me?" He rumbles in my ear. His hand dips into my underwear and I gasp at the sensation of his finger brushing against my clit.

I can no longer form words as his mouth latches onto my nipple. My stomach tightens feeling him caress my most intimate areas. ************* After a bitter divorce, a 30 year old man comes back home to live with his parents. They throw him a welcome home party , where he is instantly drawn to a young woman. Getting to know her only makes his attraction grow that much greater.

Lost And Found (4 Shots) ✔️ by TheAshleyDaniel

"Lost Friends To Lovers" Dad told me real love happens once and when it does, never hide your feelings. Too bad, he told me late. I held them and lost her. Until I found her again. Blue-eyed, brown hair. That dimple on the right cheek, it hasn't changed much. Well, she hasn't changed much either. I can feel her body exuding the same warmth as the old times, her innocence still shining bright like it used to. This little surprise is racing my heart even when she is far from me...wait? Far? With her eyes busy finding something in her handbag, she is coming toward me. Me. Is my back erecting? What is she doing here? In a school? Is she my son's teacher? I find myself curious now. But then, she takes a seat beside me and smiles at the teacher. I can not help but wonder. Is she a parent too? Short Story

Unwanted (BoyxBoy) ~Completed~ by xXPsychodicPandaXx

(WARNING!: DEPRESSING CONTENT, POORLY WRITTEN: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) "I deserve just as much pain as she gives me." He said fully meaning it and crushing my heart all at once. "No you don't. You are just a broken person both inside and out and all you need is to be fixed. When you're fixed there is nothing but beauty deep in you." I told him truthfully as he looked into my eyes with his shining with tears. In that moment all I could do was feel my heart break for this beautiful boy. But something else was there and it was that I cared for him too. I was starting to fall for Andy. Before I could comprehend what was happening, I slowly leaned towards him and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips. It only lasted a couple of seconds, but it was enough to tell him that he wasn't alone. That he had me and together we could get through this. . *Attention:THIS STORY IS VERY VERY POORLY WRITTEN!!!!!! VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!!! It's gotten more popular than I thought it would be and for that I'm embarrassed because it's not my best work. You're free to be however critical you want to be on this<3

My Blue Eyed River by santana_simmons

I took a tiny step back but the grip didn't loosen. I decided to look up and meet the eyes of who those warm and comforting hands belonged to. I was met with the deepest blue eyes I have ever seen in my life. He was much taller than me and had the silkiest looking brown, almost black colored hair. That made me want to run my fingers through it. He was absolutely beautiful. There was something about his eyes that made them so captivating. We just stared into each other's eyes in silence before he decided to break the silence. "You alright?" He said with a concerned look upon his face. Maybe this new change wouldn't be so bad after all. She thought. -------------------------- Could Tate, a girl who has been through a lot, and River, a boy wanting to move on, find comfort and reassurance in each other? Or will they drive each other to a point of no return?
