All Laiden Huxley has ever wanted is to be loved. Raised as the perfect pastor's son, he has to uphold a perfect image for everyone. Laiden wishes to be himself, but as long as his father's satisfied, he's fine. Right? But when Laiden is blackmailed over his father's embezzlement, a dark secret from Laiden's past threatens to be exposed.
It's not easy for Connor Rasheed-Vasco to be in the shadow of his more popular cousin, Kyle. That's why he enjoys track so much - Connor usually wins and he's on a smooth path to winning the annual track competition. Besides, he's more than a pretty face. Until Laiden comes along. He's taller and better than Connor. And Connor doesn't like that.
When Laiden discovers that his only hope of paying back the money his father embezzled lies in winning the track competition, the stakes of their rivalry are suddenly raised.
As Laiden and Connor push each other to run faster than ever before, their bond tightens and unknown feelings begin to surface. Now, with the competition looming and their reputations on the line, Laiden and Connor must decide what truly matters most - doing what other people want or doing the best for themselves.

Follow Damien and Eve as they face a crazy ex and a stalker who just doesn't get it. * "I'm going through a lot right now, with family and all. There wouldn't be any time. That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content. I don't drag out feelings for two people who care for each other. This is a fictional story so some info may not be accurate. Enjoy!Complete
The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

Fragments [GuyXGuy] ✔
[Can be a stand alone!][Book 2] {Valleyside Pack} Milo Morgan is an only son, the only heir to his pack. He's expected to earn his title rather than inherit it and he's supposed to have an heir within months of mating. Of course, not everything goes as easy as he expected. For one, his mate is a male, Will. Second, he can't even get within an inch of his mate without having him try to bite his fingers off. Thirdly, he won't be able to produce an heir- not with his mate and he isn't particularly fond of having another carry his kid. Lastly, he isn't even sure his mate would ever bottom for him. Milo wasn't a bottom- fuck no. Not to mention that his mate was fucking sold. Now he has to figure out a way to stop whoever wants his mate and help him trust him. To top it all off, an Alpha acting submissive for his mate just looks wrong for others, weak. So with his mate hating his presence, the Alpha after his mate, and the humiliation of the other Alphas, Milo doesn't even know where to start. He does know something, though. He knows that even though his mate is broken, he can help pick up all those little fragments that make him trust once again. And in the process change himself, too. How hard could it be to admit he was a bottom? (You don't have to read the first book, but that one is Cody's story- it gives a little background of Will.)Complete
