In St. Louis, Julius has built a life he loves: a rewarding career, loyal friends, and an unapologetic obsession with the Cincinnati Bengals. Confident, openly gay, and comfortable in who he is, he isn't waiting for anyone to complete him.
Joe Burrow has fame, records, money, and millions of eyes following his every move. What he doesn't have is much room to be anyone other than the version of himself the world expects.
Then a charity gala puts them in the same room.
An unexpected conversation becomes late-night texts, private jokes, weekend visits, and a connection neither can dismiss. For Julius, the quarterback he once admired from a distance becomes the man he knows when the cameras are gone. For Joe, Julius becomes one of the few people who expects nothing from him except honesty.
But falling for each other is the easy part.
Between two cities, an NFL career, public scrutiny, and a relationship neither is ready to explain, privacy grows harder to protect. As friendship becomes something deeper, Julius and Joe must decide how much they're willing to risk for a love neither saw coming.

What's Not Mine
"I'm fucking Ryan, yes mom, dad, he enjoys it when my dick is buried in his ass. Is that what you wanna hear?" "Samantha is right, I AM GAY! And I'm sleeping with my sister's fiancee" ________ Some loves are loud-burning bright, impossible to hide. Others are quiet, dangerous, and hidden behind closed doors. Joey never thought his would be the latter... until Ryan. To the world, Ryan belongs to someone else. To Joey, he's everything-every glance, every lingering touch, every stolen night that feels more like a dream than reality. But when need and desire takes hold and one reckless call one night with Ryan threatens to unravel everything, Joey realizes he might just lose the man he loves if he gives in to his family's advice for therapy. Caught between secrets, desire, and a heart that refuses to let go, Joey must decide-will he keep loving in silence, or risk everything for a love he's not sure is his to claim? N.B: I do not own any of the pictures in this book, credit to their owners.

This is the most important season in recent Bengals history. Their Super Bowl window is open. Can they maintain their focus on the game? The answer is no. What begins as mentor relationship devolves into the situationship of the century full of jealousy, secrecy, fame, and the weight of the expectations of the NFL and the world.
As You Are
Joe Burrow is trying something new: being seen. Not Joe Burrow the quarterback everyone knows-but Joe the person. The one who reads philosophy books, thinks about more than football, and is finally ready to show a little more of himself. It's strategic, his team says: attend events, do appearances, offer glimpses of his real personality. Give the media something so they stop digging for everything. Y/N Y/L/N has always been seen-maybe too much. Fourteen million followers know about her bipolar disorder, her endometriosis, her therapy breakthroughs, her bad days and good ones. She built an empire on radical honesty because hiding almost killed her once. Authenticity made her famous-but it hasn't made love easy. Every partner adored her when she was shining. Every partner left when she wasn't. When she meets Joe at the Met Gala, neither knows who the other is. He's just a guy with a cufflink problem. She's just someone kind enough to help. A brief, genuine moment-before the chaos pulls them apart. Six months later, at the GQ Awards, they meet again. This time they know exactly who the other is-and that spark wasn't imagined. He's learning to be open. She's spent years living that way. He's realizing that being seen doesn't mean being consumed. She's learning that privacy isn't dishonesty-it's protection. They're not opposites; they're two people meeting in the middle. This is a story about timing, growth, and connection-about what happens when you meet someone right as you're both becoming who you're meant to be.

Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

And in that moment, I realized something that I've always known deep down in my heart. I finally understand why my eyes would always cling to him in a room, why my mood would always lighten up whenever he was around, why my world brightened up when I met him- why the sun shined brighter, trees and grass were greener, flowers smelled better. Why he makes my world more beautiful simply by existing in it. It's because I'm in love with him. The type of love that you never knew existed until you finally experience it yourself, the type of love that's hard to put into words because it's a love you've never had for anyone else. And never will. - JAMISON MACK ... And in which, Jamison Mack drunkly kisses his very much in love bestfriend, Hayden Zhang. Shouldn't be much of a problem, they both agree to forget about it. It was a drunken mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. One problem, neither of them can stop thinking about it. What could go wrong? Or in simpler words, a chaotic bisexual pro basketball player who's in love with his playboy footballer bestfriend. highest rankings #1 - interracialbxb #1 - maybesmut #1 - collegebasketball #2 - collegefootball #2 - interracialbxb #3 - lgbtq #3 - interracialbxb #7 - gayromance #13 - interracialbxb

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete

Because some things - the way he still feels like home, the way she still makes him forget how to breathe - don't just disappear because you want them to. 💔 The sequel to Hide is about what it means to love someone twice. To rebuild trust from nothing. To choose each other again, knowing exactly how much it can hurt. 💔Complete
