Vaughan McClellan was born to a life of comfort and ease, and embraced this without argument.
As a blooming author who has suffered an extended case of writers block, he is forced to leave his comfortable lifelong home and daily routine in exchange for a year long deal that will change more than just the way he has his morning tea.
MAJOR REVISIONS TO EARLIER CHAPTERS.
Chapters 1 through 5 have been revised. I am happy with the revisions to this extent, and we are now moving forward with the story once again.
Thank you!
"At some point while he argued with himself, he had made his way half down the hall and could hear the voices louder, but it wasn't until his name rung out that any of it registered. Suddenly, he was tugged back down to reality with a heavy hand landing on his shoulder, causing him to promptly squeak in absolute terror.
Hand clutching his chest , heart rabbiting underneath he spun around to see Myles standing, hand still outstretched, and that stony look morphing from its grim demeanor raising those heavy brows and a huff came out. Vaughan was unsure, but he thought the man looked pulled between exasperated and amused."

A House for Me
A quiet house. A past that won't let go. And two men who could burn it all down. Kai never asked for much - just a quiet home of his own. But the past clings like smoke, and the house he's building can't keep the ghosts out. Caught between betrayal, a city that suffocates him, and two men as different as night and day - Samson, reckless and burning, and Dmitry, cold and immovable - Kai has no choice but to face the one thing he's been running from all his life: himself. This isn't a love story. It's about scars, survival, and the fragile hope that one day a house can become a home.
Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete

I'm in love with him but he's in love with my younger sister and has made that painfully clear to me. "Who are you in love with?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm in love with Isabella, your sister. She's the only woman I truly care about," he admits, revealing his feelings for my younger sister after we had just gotten married, it hasn't even been twenty-four hours. "I'll fulfill my role as your husband, but don't expect any love or affection. This marriage is just an agreement between our families, nothing more. Do you understand?"

Behind Those Eyes (boyxboy)
I sat behind him on his motorcycle. At that moment, all I wanted was to hold him in my arms and absorb every bit of his pain. He acted as if nothing had happened and drove in silence. I slowly started moving my hands towards his body, and suddenly, my control snapped and the pent-up feelings burst free. I gripped his back, my face burried into his shoulder as the sobs tore loose from my chest. He froze for a second, then gently tapped on my fingers wrapped around his waist, and went back to driving without saying a word. Author's note: Hey! This is the first part of a three-part series. This is going to be a slowburn love story, so buckle up. AND DISCLAIMER REMEMBER THERE IS OTHER PARTS TO THIS 🫣 ... Thank you for reading 🌸🥺 ~ I don't own the pictures used in this story ~emi
