Breaking Boundaries (5th in Breaking Series)
**Be aware that this is a manXman story so if that bothers you then please don't read! 5th in Breaking Series. There are certain things that make a man a man in late 1870's Texas. Being able to rope, ride and handle cattle to name a few. Shooting from the hip, playing poker and throwing back whiskey never hurt either. Nick could do all those things but none of that would matter if anyone knew the truth about him-if anyone knew his secret. So to protect that secret, Nick keeps to himself as he works on the ranch at Atkinson Spread. He likes his job and the bosses are decent but Nick is lonely. Covered in scars, both of the physical and emotional variety, he longs for one person he can truly be himself around. That one person he can love. Aiden is running. He's been running since his family realized what he was, called him an abomination and cursed him to death. Bakerstown Texas is where his legs and his will to run finally give out. Somehow he finds himself hired on to work at Atkinson spread though he knows nothing about cattle. He has already resigned himself to a life alone but that thought goes out the window when he lays his eyes on a ranch hand named Nick. Even then, Aiden knows he can't have Nick. Nick doesn't seem to suffer from the same condition that Aiden was born with and so there's not a lot Aiden can do about his attraction to the other man. Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?Complete
Only us
Matteo was never the one people noticed first. He's smaller, quieter, more in his own head than in the spotlight. Most of his time is spent with his best friend Sierra and at home, where he's still a bit of a mama's boy - even if no one at school really sees that side of him. Noah is the complete opposite. Captain of the high school football team. Confident. Worshipped. Every girl knows his name. Everyone thinks they know him. To Matteo, Noah is just an untouchable star - someone who probably doesn't even know he exists. But the truth is the exact opposite. "Only Us" is a story about glances that last a second too long. About secrets too fragile to say out loud. About a love that grows quietly - between crowded school hallways, late-night texts, and a sky full of stars where, for a moment, it's just the two of them. Only them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This story contains slurs, alcohol, drugs and stuff like that so if you don't feel comfortable about it then don't read it.
