Elias lacked confidence. This was something that everyone who had ever interacted with him had noticed. The way his teeth tugged his lips as he debated whether to pitch into a discussion. The way his fingers gravitated towards his ears to fidget with his piercings whenever he felt uncomfortable but was too meek to say so. The way his eyes shifted across people's faces during conversations, settling on every feature but never meeting the eyes of the person he was talking to.
Yes, Elias was a coward, but at least he knew when he needed to act.

To Have Loved [BxB] Book I ✓
Moving is never fun, moving into your new stepdad's house because your mom decided to remarry again is even less fun, and being sent away unexpectedly to an unjustifiably expensive boarding school is the least fun of all. Out of all the things that have gone wrong in Kayden's life, the least expected was catching feelings for his rival. Elias Astor is annoying, and cocky, and Kayden can't seem to keep his eyes off of him. As much of an arrogant asshole as he is, Elias somehow makes life in their stuffy boarding school more bearable. #1 in darkacademia [5/16/22] #1 in ADHD [2/7/22] #2 in lgbt [10/4/21] #3 in boardingschool [10/4/21] #9 in enemiestolovers [10/4/21]Complete![DUSTED MELODY [BL]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372011192-256-k42711.jpg)

It wasn't a song, but a presence. Mateo, the new student, had arrived like a discordant note, his guarded demeanor a stark contrast to the vibrant energy Ezra usually craved. Yet, there was something undeniably intriguing about him. The way his eyes flickered away whenever Ezra caught them, the hint of a melancholic smile that played on his lips - it all screamed a hidden melody, a song waiting to be sung. Ezra felt a pull towards Mateo, a desire to unravel the mystery and harmonize their contrasting notes.

Unknown
I heard Sam's voice, it was still fearful and hopeful, but now it was apparent that he was extremely nervous. "I don't think I can explain it." "Then why did you call?" "Because I needed to know that you'd get the link." "To what?" "You'll see..." It's an understatement to say I was shocked. I was flabbergasted. I was infuriated. I was excited. I was nervous. I was everything Samson was, and I knew why. *Profanity Warning*Complete

Effortless
{This book has been published on August 12th, 2025. Read the full book on Kindle Unlimited!} His tone was low, "So you're jealous?" His lips looked so soft. "Of the guy who is good at everything without putting in an ounce of work? Yeah, maybe I am." "You wanna know what else is effortless?" Javier challenged. I bit my bottom lip. "What?" "My feelings for you." - To work so hard for something and then watch someone else do it better effortlessly is infuriating. That was definitely the case for Elias.

Your Brother and I
Sometimes people force you to do things that you never wanted to do. Sometimes while doing those things you meet people that you never knew you needed to meet. You start to form friendships with these people and sometimes something special happens with that guy you didn't know you liked. These people start to become your world, but no world can be perfect. That guy you liked may seem incredible but there's something he's just too afraid to tell you. Oh, and your friends? They know what he's hiding too, but they've all decided to keep it from you. Forgetting it can sometimes be your only way to keep going. "You're eyes are shooting stars." "And what do you wish for, mon significative une?" "For you to tell my your deepest secrets." He was quiet for a moment but he didn't leave like I expected him to do. He just simply started to kiss my check while trailing down to my jaw, then neck, then up to my ear. He gripped my lobe between his teeth and right as he let it go he whispered something. "If I tell you my secrets, that gleam in your eye, that you seem to only look at me with, will forever be lost."Complete
Unhinged
"Silly boy - you dare ask me that question?" I frown at him instantly - taken aback when he gripped my chin. Yanking me close enough towards him, our lips almost touched. The look in his eyes was one I've seen in wild animals who can't control their animalistic behaviors. Except this one was different...it held desire - which I wasn't for at all. "I became Unhinged because of you." That's when I saw him begin to lean towards me, and wasn't having this any longer. I shove my hand onto his lips right when he was about to kiss me. My eyes glaring into his despite the risks of me doing so. "I refuse for my first kiss to be from someone like you." I growl at him, his eyes widening in shock. That's when I push him back and got off of the couch. I saw him watching me with feral eyes that told me I probably angered him even more. Possibly heightening the chances of my removal from this horrid competition. Except I'm not like the other contestants here. Having him isn't my dream, my dream is helping my family - and being here does that. I could care less if he becomes Unhinged. Especially if it's because of me. *read "Prologue" for story description* 😊💕Complete
