Dating a red flag builds walls.
But when silence felt safer than arguing, Asher should've walked away.
Once bold, sharp-witted, no nonsense CEO and impossible to dim,
He learned to shrink-
To be quieter, softer, agreeable-
All in the name of love.
He didn't lose himself.
He buried himself.
To be enough for someone who never was.
But some things don't stay buried forever.
The moment his boyfriend introduced him as just a friend,
Asher remembered exactly who he used to be-
And who he refuses to become again.
"Happy single life, ex."
Now, fate is pulling him toward something unfamiliar.
A gentler love.
A softer touch.
Fewer apologies, and more respect.
Asher's heart wants to trust.
His mind doesn't know if it should.
But whether he likes it or...
loves it-he's falling.
And honestly?
Who the hell is Jeff and why has he been living rent-free in Asher's boyfriend's nightmares?

What If I Was Nothing?
They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark.

After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.Complete

Unravel
"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual. Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?" "No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly. "Okay. I can do civil," he says, his gaze never leaving mine like he is trying hard to read me. I look away, suddenly too exposed beneath his gaze. Damnit!This is going to be harder than I thought. - It was a moment. One that could have turned into something more.Until she walked away. Eight months later, Ira has to face him again. And this time, there's nowhere to run. Not for at least a week. After all, it's her best friend's wedding and he's invited too. So, she does what she's always done best-pretend. Pretend nothing happened. Pretend he didn't matter. Pretend her heart didn't skip a beat the second she saw him again. But Jay? He's not playing pretend.

He's the only one who's ever come close to reaching the version of her that she thought, she had buried long ago. And that's what makes him dangerous. Because she shouldn't return to who she was. She's ice. And he? He's the fire that never stopped burning. The real question is: Can she let his fire thaw the ice that's long been her shield?Complete
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?

Where Silence Lingers
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.![Echoes of A Summer Love [MxM]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403034035-256-k392156.jpg)

Asher wakes up in the hospital, disoriented. His mother tells him that the driver of the car that drove into his lane had a heart attack, causing his motorcycle to veer off the road. He's upset but tries to keep his spirit high. While recovering he comes across another patient named Kale. Kale is quiet at first but opens up to Asher. When they get closer, he reveals to Asher why he is a long term patient at the hospital. Asher takes it upon himself to bring more sunshine into Kale's life and over time they naturally got closer...maybe a little too close. They both feel it, but neither of them name it, both scared. One day Kale tells Asher that his mother decided to move to a different city. The treatment seemed better, she told him. "Will I see you again?" Asher asks hopeful. "Maybe not in this lifetime, but I hope in the next. You pinky promised to show me the ocean after all. And pinky promises are always kept." Kale replies with a sad smile. And that's how Asher's summer love came to an end. Or is it?
