River Reeves has liked Eric Westmark since the moment Eric and his older brother became best friends. The chance of Eric, raised conservatively Christian in a small town in Wisconsin, liking River is approximately that of a comet hitting the earth, but that doesn't stop River from pining for Eric--for years.
After a tragedy during River's senior year in high school scrambles their lives, they get involved sexually to disastrous and near-deadly results. Now, 12 years later and well into their successful adult lives, they're faced with a chance of processing the summer that changed everything, including their heartbreak and their grief.

❝I know you love God or whatever, but I want to do the most unholy things to you.❞ Small towns harbor two types of people: those that live and die within the confines of it, and those that get the hell out while they can.

College is a chance for Hudson to find out who he really is--and who he wants to be. He's a good boy with a religious knack and a girlfriend back home who doesn't mind that he's saving himself for marriage. His deepest secret that he likes men is neither new nor surprising, more so downright despicable. Damnable, even. When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin. And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.Abgeschlossene Geschichte![Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401648855-256-k526063.jpg)
Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline.
