Black Moon Series Book #4 Warning: #Mature #Gay #Triggering Do not read this if you haven't read at least I Would Give Him The Moon and Twisted Moon. It wouldn't make any sense. Sometimes you just don't need a vile family or to be beaten by your parents or an overly strict childhood to become a bad guy. Sometimes you just have it in you. Contrary to many delinquents, I never had to face anything like that. My parents lived well off. They loved me like parents are supposed to love their children; they cherished me and educated me well. I never really lacked anything, but I was attracted to bad guys. I just had it in me. Well that was until I met the right persons. Aaron Cox was one of them. He introduced me to a lifestyle that filled my need for guidance, my lack of authority and my lust for sex. And thanks to him I met the man who changed my life. However good things never last. My name is Jeremy and I'm going to tell you the short story of my life.Complete

(can we be friends?)
[BOOK TWO] Hugo never thought a sexuality crisis would be on the cards for him. Seriously, him being anything not straight was never even really something he'd even thought about. That was, until he kissed his best friend and it should have meant nothing but well... did this type of thing come with an instruction manual? Alex just wants to keep his best friend. Does he have feelings? Maybe. So far he's managed to ignore them. Conceal don't fucking feel as the Disney obsessed dickhead would say. But hell, he had feelings for Hugo of all people? Seriously? What the fuck universe? After winning nationals, Hugo starts acting weirder and weirder, Alex has no idea what to think. Usually, weird is normal for Hugo. They both struggle to reconcile their rapidly fading friendship. Then, well... Shit happens, and Hugo and Alex are forced closer than ever. It's a whole thing. Seriously. IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a continuation of head over heels, it picks up where the story left off, only from Hugo + Alex's povs :) I would HIGHLY recommend reading head over heels first.Complete
