Unraveled (M x M romance)
Elliot Carter never loses.
Not to his father.
Not to anyone.
And definitely not to the infuriating 'golden' boy who suddenly moves into his house.
When Elliot’s father marries Asher Brooks’ mother, his already broken world cracks even more. Asher is everything he despises—calm, disciplined, admired by everyone at university. The kind of guy who smiles like he has nothing to prove.
From the moment they meet, it’s war.
Elliot thrives on pushing buttons. Asher refuses to be provoked. Their fights are sharp, personal, and relentless, until one night, anger turns physical… and something far more dangerous ignites between them.
A line is crossed that neither of them can uncross.
Asher refuses to feel guilty.
Elliot refuses to admit he wanted it.
Now they’re trapped under the same roof, and the more they try to hate each other, the more dangerous the attraction becomes.
Because this isn’t just rivalry.
It’s obsession.
And when control becomes the weapon of choice, someone is bound to break.
The only question is... Who will break first?

Chapter: CHAPTER 105 (THE END)ELLIOT“Elliot, we’re going to be late.” Asher’s voice came from the living room.“I’ll be right there,” I called back.I smoothed down my shirt, tucking the front more firmly into my jeans as I checked myself out in the mirror.I looked good, if I dared to say that myself. Not that it mattered, since it wasn’t like I was going to a fancy party.We were just going to have dinner with our parents.But I didn’t care. I believed you had to look good regardless of the situation. Yeah, I’d been hanging out too much with Sebastian these days. He really wasn’t that bad once you got to know him.I didn’t want to jinx it, but everything was going nicely.Our friends were as supportive as ever, our relationship was going great, we’d finally rented an apartment of our own after pooling our savings together.Our apartment wasn’t huge. It was small and slightly overpriced and the plumbing made concerning noises whenever someone showered too long. But it was ours, and that was all that mattered.As

Chapter: CHAPTER 104ASHER“When I walked in on you both that day, all I could think was that my family was falling apart. Again.” She took in a shaky breath. “I panicked.”“I know.”“And then everything spiraled so quickly after that,” she went on. “Suddenly Simon was angry and kicked Elliot out of the house, then you moved out…”“Mum—”“No, let me finish.”I immediately fell silent.“I kept asking myself where I went wrong,” she admitted quietly. “I kept thinking maybe I failed somehow as a mother.”An ache blossomed in my chest.“You didn’t fail.”Her eyes met mine finally.“Then why does it feel like I’ve lost my son?”The pain in her voice nearly broke me.I set the cup down immediately and turned toward her fully.“You’ve not lost me.”“It feels like I have,” she whispered. “You stopped looking at me the same way. And when you left the house…” her voice cracked, “…it felt unbearable.”Guilt hit me so hard I almost felt sick.“I’m sorry,” I said immediately. “I never wanted to hurt you.”She shook he

Chapter: CHAPTER 103ASHERI stayed in the waiting room, long after Elliot was gone.I had one ear tuned in for any sounds of shouting or fighting or breaking things coming from Simon’s room. So far, there has been none. Not even Elliot storming out of Simon’s room as I feared has happened yet.Which meant everything was going well.Right?They were both stubborn people so I didn’t know how productive the conversation was going to be or how well it was going to go. I just had to hope that a miracle had happened.I stared at the ugly painting on the wall, the same one I’d been staring at for the past twenty minutes, as I waited for Elliot to come out.I winced as I rotated my neck from side to side. I felt like shit. I probably smelled like one too. Everywhere hurt.I definitely needed to head home for a little while for a shower and a change of clothes but I couldn’t leave Elliot alone just yet. Not before I knew the outcome of his conversation with his father.I rubbed tiredly at my eyes and leaned back

Chapter: CHAPTER 102ELLIOTHis bloodshot eyes snapped to mine.My throat tightened. “When I said I wished you were dead… I didn’t mean it. I was just so angry, because it felt like you didn’t care. That you didn’t care that Mum and Daniel were gone. That you didn’t care if I lived or died—”“I do care,” he cut in gently, his voice raw. “I care so much. Much more than you could ever imagine.”I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated. “But I never got that from you. You were so carefree after they died. It was like they weren’t that important to you. It took you only months to start dating again.”His gaze dropped down, like he was ashamed. “I was hurting really badly. I felt so… lonely. I just needed company. I agree that wasn’t probably the best thing to do at that moment but…” He exhaled shakily. “I just needed someone. I needed to feel something other than grief.”“I was right there.” My voice cracked slightly. “Just like you, I was lonely too. I needed someone too. More than anyone, I needed my fathe

Chapter: CHAPTER 101ELLIOTI barely slept.Not that I expected anything different.Hospitals weren’t exactly designed for rest. Between the constant beeping of machines, the squeaking shoes against polished floors and the nurses walking in and out of rooms at ungodly hours, sleep felt impossible.But even without all that, I still wouldn’t have slept.My mind refused to shut off.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept replaying the image of Dad lying in that hospital bed.Then my brain would immediately follow it up with the last thing I said to him.By morning, I felt sick with exhaustion.Asher was asleep beside me in one of the uncomfortable waiting room chairs, his head tilted awkwardly against the wall.I stared at him for a moment.His brows remained furrowed even while asleep.Warmth settled deeply in my chest.He stayed the entire night with me despite his own issues with hospitals.Because of me.I rubbed tiredly at my face before quietly standing up.The movement must’ve disturbed him because his

Chapter: CHAPTER 100ELLIOTThe relief that hit me was so overwhelming it almost made me dizzy.I hadn’t even realized how terrified I’d been until that moment.My legs carried me closer to the bed automatically.Dad remained asleep, his breathing slow and even beneath the oxygen cannula resting beneath his nose.I let out a short breath.A laugh almost escaped me then. It wasn’t because anything was remotely funny, but because all I could think was I’d been so happy to see my Dad before.What did it say that the happiest I felt seeing my dad was when he was lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life?I stared at him for a long moment.Despite everything that had occurred between us, all I felt right then was sharp, almost painful relief.I swallowed hard.“I’ll… wait outside,” I murmured quietly.Neither Margaret nor Asher stopped me.I stepped out into the hallway quickly before the pressure in my chest exploded.The room suddenly felt too small, too suffocating. Everything felt unbearable.I didn’t

The Devil Who Claimed Me
CONTENT WARNING: This book is a dark MM romance and is purely fiction. None of the deplorable actions of the characters are acceptable in any way or form.
-------------------------------------
Some traps are impossible to escape… especially the ones you walk into.
Julian Cross has always been a good person.
Soft-spoken and loyal, he’s the kind of person people trust… and use.
He’s also been in love with his best friend for as long as he can remember.
So when his best friend asks for one thing, just one thing to make him happy, Julian says yes.
All he has to do is get close to Nikolai Soren.
A man who is cold, untouchable, dangerous.
A man who doesn’t feel, doesn’t care, and doesn’t let anyone get close enough to matter.
It should have been simple.
A game. A plan. A means to an end.
But nothing about Nikolai is simple.
Not the way he looks at Julian like he already owns him.
Not the way his touch burns, leaving behind something darker than desire.
Not the way Julian starts to crave him… even when he knows he shouldn’t. Even when he knows it can cost him everything.
Because Nikolai isn’t just a man.
He’s control wrapped in violence.
Obsession disguised as restraint.
And once he decides something belongs to him… he doesn’t let it go.
What started as a game… ends as an obsession.
Now Julian is caught between loyalty and temptation, truth and deception, control and chaos.
And the deeper he falls into Nikolai’s world, the harder it becomes to remember—
Was he ever the one playing the game?
Or was he the target all along?

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHTNIKOLAIThe smell of coffee hits me as I walk through the doors of the mansion.I toss my keys onto the entryway table and take off my jacket, hanging it carefully on the coat hanger by the door.I sigh as I head into the kitchen. Only one person would be at home at this hour of the morning.Might as well get this over with.“Well, look who finally decided to return home.”I close my eyes briefly.Caleb sits at the kitchen island with a mug of coffee in hand, looking way too awake for this hour of the morning than he normally does.He’s usually a late riser so the fact that he’s awake at this hour proves just how determined he is to speak to me.His eyes narrow. “I thought you were gonna stay out there forever.”I roll my eyes. “Don’t be so fucking dramatic. It’s not like it’s the first time I’ve stayed out.”He sips his coffee. “Maybe not. But it’s the first time you’ve done it with someone I don’t have approve of.”I snort. “Who do you think you are? My father? I don’t need your fuc

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVENNIKOLAII’m fucked.The realization spreads through my body like poison.I grip the steering wheel tighter as I stare ahead at the red light glowing above the intersection.Beside me, Julian hums softly under his breath as he scrolls through his phone, completely unaware that he’s slowly becoming the biggest problem of my life.Or maybe he’s aware. Maybe he’s enjoying seeing me like this. Enjoying watching me spiral as he makes a mess of my life. As he destroys all the walls I’ve carefully built.Morning sunlight spills through the windshield, bathing the inside of the car in warm gold. It catches against Julina’s hair, turning the dark blond strands almost honey-coloured.I tear my eyes back to the road immediately.This is exactly the kind of shit Caleb warned me about. The kind of shit that Derek will get on my ass for if he ever finds out.I’m getting attached. I’m starting to notice the little things, to care about the little things. Things that otherwise shouldn’t matter in the

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIXJULIAN“I’m glad I did,” I admit softly.His jaw tightens. “Of course you are.”“Would you rather I only see the cold version of you? The part of you that feels nothing?”His eyes grow hard. “Yes. That would definitely be better than… whatever this is.”I shake my head but I don’t say anything.It’s what I expect from him. He feels exposed now, which is why he’s trying to lash out.I adjust my position and sit down properly on the floor.The tiles are cold beneath my legs but I barely register them.“Why?” I ask softly. “Why do you feel the need to do this?”I don’t even know why I’m asking when I know he won’t answer. Nikolai will never reveal a part of himself. Not if he views it as ‘weak.’I finish tending to his bruises and release his hands.The bathroom is silent except for Nikolai’s uneven breathing.I fully expect him to ignore me but then he finally speaks.Quietly, almost reluctantly, he says, “He used to say I was born wrong.”The words hit me like a punch to the chest.I g

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVEJULIANThe words slash through the air coldly.I freeze.Nikolai freezes too.For one second, neither of us moves.Then I watch regret flicker across his face.“I…” His throat works. “I didn’t mean—”“It’s okay,” I say quickly.But it’s not really okay. I’m so out of my depth. I don’t know how to stop this.He stares at me for a long moment before he swallows and resumes his movements.Up close, he’s even worse. There’s a frantic energy radiating off him.For a minute, I stay there on my knees just staring at him as he works.It’s then that I finally notice it. The skin around his hands is red and irritated.My chest tightens as I grab his hand again, stopping all his movements. The sponge falls away.I feel Nikolai’s eyes snap up to mine in surprise but my attention is on his hands. I turn them, this way and that, examining the bruises.Just how hard has he been scrubbing to have these bruises? And how often does he do this?Nikolai lets out a breath. “I’m fine. You don’t have to wor

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOURJULIANI wake up suddenly.At first, I don’t even know what it is that jerks me awake.I lie there in the darkness, blinking sleep from my eyes as I stare up at the unfamiliar ceiling above me.For one disorienting second, panic flashes through me as I don’t recognize where I am.Then memory settles back in.I’m in Nikolai’s apartment.Because he asked me to stay over.The room is dark except for the faint sliver of moonlight spilling through the open curtains. Everything is quiet.I shift slightly beneath the blankets.The other side of the bed is empty, and as I run my fingers through the sheets, I feel it’s cold too.Not that I expected anything less. It isn’t like I’m expecting Nikolai to sleep beside me.Asking me to stay over is already huge, I presume. Sleeping beside me would be too much for Mr. Commitment-Phobe.But I’m kind of surprised he’s not in the room at all. I vaguely remembered him sitting on the edge of the bed sketching something— he wouldn’t allow me to see, of co

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREEJULIAN His tongue thrusts deep, dominating, coiling around mine in a way that makes my knees weak. He kisses me like he’s starving. Like he might die if he stops. It’s not gentle, it’s possessive, raw, like he’s claiming my every breath, claiming not just my lips but every part of my body. It shames me to admit that I love it. I love the way he kisses me like he wants to crawl inside me, like he wants to own me from the inside out. I press closer until we’re chest to chest, my hand sliding up to tangle in his ponytail, the soft strands slipping through my fingers, thick and silky. I tug lightly, earning a rumble from his throat that vibrates against my lips, sending sparks straight to my cock. I pull away from the kiss, breaking for air, but I don’t stop. My mouth trails to his neck, lips brushing the skin there before I suck hard, tongue lapping at the pulse pounding under his skin. He tastes so good, so salty and warm. He tilts his head back with a hiss, fingers digging into m
