Not a Date is a slow-burn queer romance about confidence, confusion, and the kind of connection that sneaks up on you.
When flirty, fearless college student Alex strikes up a conversation with quiet, straight-laced Dean at the mall, he's not expecting much. Especially after Dean insists he's "not into guys." But when Dean gives him his number anyway, a chaotic friendship begins to bloom. One built on late-night calls, awkward truths, and a whole lot of mixed signals.
Dean doesn't know what he wants. Alex usually does. But as their "not-dates" start to feel a little too much like the real thing, both boys are forced to confront what it means to want more, and what it takes to go after it.
Smart, funny, and surprisingly tender, Not a Date is about figuring out who you are, who you love, and how to show up when it matters most.

The Teacher: AKA My Best Friend's Mom (GxG) (TeacherxStudent)
Her ass hit the front of her desk and there was nowhere else for her to go. I didn't give it a second thought before plastering my lips onto her own. The kiss held fire, and I made sure to give it all I had. I trailed my right hand ever so slightly down her torso, getting closer and closer to the top of the black dress pants she had on today. I hooked a finger in the waistband of her pants before ceasing my movements and moving my mouth beside her ear. "Don't be a tease," I breathed, then walked out the door leaving her dishevelled and horny. Karma's a bitch. R-Rated. Beware, Highly Gay. Trigger Warning- may include scenes relating to rape, death, suicide, self-harm, masturbation, and sex.Complete

His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried.
