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

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

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?

Irresistible by ImmaFrootLoop

I looked up at the man in front of me. He was HOT. But he was also forbidden fruit. He was Alex's brother for God's sake! My boyfriend's brother, none the less. I shouldn't feel at all attracted to him, but the way he was looking at me right now... This wasn't right. He leaned closer though. I was losing all control right then. He pressed his lips to my jaw and my mind went completely blank, like it always does when he was this close. This was wrong. This was wrong. I knew it, but I couldn't bring myself to find the reason. Then it came to me. Alex. Alex would be angry. Now I seemed like a whore. Another kiss, on my neck this time, and another thought slipped away. This is still wrong... Why though? Think Beatrice! Alex came to mind again. Alex came to mind again. I knew there were more reasons than that, but I couldn't think of them at the moment. He moved his lips again, this time peppering kisses across my collarbone and he stopped at the hollow of my throat. I gasped softly. Now my mind was empty. I wasn't even thinking clearly. The only thought that passed my mind was that I wanted more of this. More of him.

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.
