Now together at university, Elliot and Ben have the freedom (and privacy) to focus on and enjoy their relationship. But with that newfound freedom comes expectations, and living up to those expectations is proving to be overwhelming for Ben.
Elliot overcame a lot in the last year: she started running again, she dealt with her mom's death, and she faced her doubt. Much in thanks to Ben, who slowly helped her open up and find herself. Now away at university, Elliot and Ben have the freedom to enjoy their relationship, but Ben's feeling the pressure of being the person he knows he's not. He's feeling the pressure to be someone he thinks Elliot deserves. He has his own doubt to tackle--and a decision to make: to choose Elliot or to choose a life without her.
Sequel to Starting Position.
Warning: contains themes of sexuality and brief language.

Jealousy, frustration, and a slow burn tension heat up between them as they navigate school, their unexpected connection, and the thin line between love and hate.

If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete

He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in.

It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.

FOCUS [BXB]
Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25Complete
