Their budding relationship is strained near its breaking point when Sam reveals even more secrets from his past. Gerry has to question if he can forgive Sam one more time.

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path by AM-Morning

(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3

Polysomething by David_Nora

This is my first, unpublished novel. It was sad sitting in the outer-reaches of desktop space, so I wanted to give it some attention. I hope that someone out there enjoys it and even-dare I say-chuckles a few times. Here's a brief summary: Boy meets boy. Boy meets boy's boyfriend. Then meets his other boyfriend and thinks: Damn, I can't go out with this guy. I can barely handle my own dick, little less a... Wait, is there a name for a group of dicks? Is it like...a herd of dicks? Or maybe it's a flock of cocks? ...Yeah, I like a flock of cocks better. It just rolls off the tongue. POLYSOMETHING is the story of Aaron Moore, a 28-year-old self-conscious, OCD, gay man looking to break his hermitic life in New York City. Pushed to attend a Polyamory Night-at your average hipster bar in Brooklyn-with his roommate and best friend, Alex, Aaron meets Jonathan, a performer with beautiful, curly hair and one of those perfect, well-built bodies that Aaron has seen plenty of times-in the countless hours of porn he watches. Only one catch: Jonathan's a polyamorist, and Aaron could never imagine himself dating a polyamorist. Or anyone at all. However, after a trip to the Cloisters museum (where he sees practically every happy gay couple in the tristate area), Aaron decides to go out with Jonathan, believing he may be the best way to break out of his very long and very sexless six-year rut. Unfortunately, Jonathan's other boyfriends put Aaron in more awkward and compromising positions than he'd planned for, including: vomiting in front of a crowd of hipsters, getting into a heated argument with Jonathan's "pinched-face cunt" boyfriend, and an acrobatic sex act involving the rim of his bath tub. POLYSOMETHING isn't just about the crazy exploits of a man's relationship with a polyamorist, though. It's about the courage to get past one's insecurities to find love; dealing with the heartbreak of losing love; and ultimately working on becoming a better person.

Help Me Pick Up The Pieces {Completed} (GirlXGirl) [TeacherXStudent] by Whatever81

*Destined to Be series book one. Not necessary to read Book one before book two.* Achievements: #1 in Lesbianromance [August 14th, 2019] #4 in Lesbian [September 30th, 2019] #5 in GirlxGirl [August 26, 2019] Avery has had a tough life, a very tough life. She feels like the universe is forever against her. And never thought that, even after everything she's endured, she would ever get her 'Happily Ever After'. Then one day she thinks it may be possible. The woman she had been in love with for years, finally returns her feelings. Avery was finally happy, the woman she loved so much for so long, finally loved her back. Her 'Happily Ever After' was within reach. At least that's what she thought, until the woman managed to shatter Avery's already broken heart into a million pieces. Months later, the wound still fresh, she packs up her stuff and moves back to the city where she was born. She thinks being in a different city and reconnecting with her childhood best friend, will help her heal. But, nothing seems to change at all. At least not until one night about 2 months later. Her friend drags her to a club. To get her friend off her back, she finds a girl to pick up. She expected for it to be a one night stand and that was it but she desperately wants to see the woman again. And she ends up getting her wish but the next time they see each other it's in one of the most unexpected of situations. Just when she was starting to think that she might be able to be happy again, it all goes to crap. Her life seems to be a never ending string of heart break. Maybe the whole universe really is against her. Warning: This story's going to get a bit dark/depressing. And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.
