“How does his insistence that he followed the rules and Bryan’s limits make him look even more guilty?”

Kevin didn’t do it…well, not on purpose anyway. Just because Bryan’s hiding in little space and acting weird doesn’t mean Kevin’s at fault. Accidents happen…even accidental orgasms. But it was for science and he’s going to make sure everyone knows it too.

“Why is he hiding? Did you manage to talk him into sex in the car to prove you could?”

When planning for a road trip shakes things up, a cutie with newfound confidence learns it’s going to take more than hints and blushes to get what he’s set his mind…and his heart on.

Perry knows he can’t avoid his parents’ calls forever, but they keep asking difficult things like what’s he doing and if he’s happy. When their questions are that loaded, is it any wonder he’s avoiding the phone? Unfortunately, TC isn’t seeing it the same way and he’s being just as difficult because he wants to know if Perry’s happy too.

Being happy should not be this stressful.

TC knows he’s got to get Perry functional enough to answer the phone and a few basic questions like if he’s happy and what he sees for their future. Little things like that. Little things that TC thinks he knows the answers to, but if he’s wrong, his life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Being happy should definitely not be this stressful.

I should’ve never crafted drunk.

Ashton knew being too honest when putting ideas into their jar of fantasies would come back to bite him at some point, and unfortunately he’s finally reached that point. So…now what? How is he supposed to explain his slightly curious fantasies when he isn’t sure where to start?

Maybe he just needs better ways to avoid the conversation completely?

Micha knows his not-so-subtle partner is hiding something…probably something ridiculous, knowing Ashton…but he’s got to decide how long he’s willing to let the insanity continue. Eventually, Ashton has to say what’s on his mind, right?

When crafting leads to nervous confessions and laughter, tickling won’t be the only thing that brings them closer together than ever before.

Jared has a reward for his wickedly wonderful sub, and it’s time to show Finley what his Dom has planned. 

Playing doctor with a naughty slave. 

Of course, if they’re going to play Master and slave, they have to find the best person to play the role of Doctor…and who better for that role than Conner, Finley’s best friend and naughty confidant. With Doctor Conner there to give a needy slave a thorough exam, it will be a reward Finley will never forget.

Sometimes fantasies stay just in naughty imaginations, but sometimes it takes a special friend to help show how much fun rewards and role-playing can be. 

With a human-pup slave and a werewolf pet, Liam is perfectly content with where his life is — right up until the point where everything shattered. In his haste to satisfy his sire, he makes a choice that fractures the untraditional family he’d created, and he’s left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.

But Zain isn’t a mindless pet, Caleb isn’t as much a submissive pup as he might seem… and all three of them definitely have opinions on what the future looks like… and who’s in it.

Will a fight for their pup’s affection further damage their relationship, or will it bring them back together?

Zain was just a dog walker. It was an unconventional job for a werewolf, even a brand new one, but he liked dogs and they liked him. It only seemed to make sense… right up until the point a vampire called him in to take care of his human pup.

When his life collided with Liam and Caleb’s, none of them were prepared for the directions it could take. Especially Zain.

But between the sexy pup and the vampire’s creativity, the power struggles pitting dominance against submission — and acceptance — the two might be too intriguing to just walk away from…

Sometimes it takes a loved one to point out the obvious before we see it.

Loren knows he isn’t the most grown-up adult out there—though anyone who makes educational video games for kids can’t be too boring. Most guys he’s dated haven’t understood, but Gordon does. Loren’s loving boyfriend makes him feel special and cared for…but lately something’s changed.

Maybe leaving out crayons and buying dinosaur chicken nuggets wasn’t the best way to get Loren’s attention, but it worked.

Gordon knows Loren didn’t have the most emotionally supportive childhood, but the smart, funny man has grown into an excitable, loving boyfriend. However, when Gordon connects the dots and realizes there’s more to Loren’s desire to be young at heart than meets the eye, he knows it’s time to show Loren that sometimes being a grown-up means embracing your little side.

Keith never planned on telling his boyfriend about his interest in age play. There were just some things he didn’t think the strait-laced Blake would understand. It was better to keep it quiet and appreciate the relationship he had with the sexy, albeit vanilla man. Right?

Blake didn’t see himself as vanilla—at least not until his boyfriend fessed up to his interest in BDSM after a little too much alcohol. It was clear Keith thought Blake wouldn’t get it, but it really wasn’t that difficult to grasp. All his sweet, overworked boyfriend wanted was a way to relax and let everything go. Right?

When one boyfriend has a secret, and the other is the definition of vanilla, can dipping their toes into kink really work?

Sometimes the best presents are naughty…and sometimes they’re sweet…

Tim & Cade
In His Little Man, Tim’s secret fantasy became the start of a new relationship between himself and his neighbor, Cade. Now that their relationship is growing more serious, Christmas becomes not only about presents, but about growing together and sharing the day with friends who understand their special connection.

Jeremy & Kevin
Jeremy and Kevin opened up to one another and learned how deeply you can love someone in Too Close to Love and Too Close to Hide. With school on track and new friends at their side, they’re taking time away from everything and having a well-deserved vacation.

Nathan & Gabriel
In Flawed Perfection, Nathan discovered parts of himself he’d never understood before. With Gabriel’s help, he learned why he always felt different. For Christmas, Gabriel has more sexy and tender surprises in store for his sweet pup.

Nick & Kyle
In Beautiful Shame, Nick and Kyle learned that with bullying, things aren’t always as they seem. Now that they’re home for the holidays, Nick’s mother is bound and determined to make sure they don’t get too much time alone. Once they have the house to themselves, though, all bets are off.

Noah loves his husband, Tobias, but he isn’t afraid to admit that Valentine’s Day isn’t his favorite holiday. Showing Tobias how much he loves him isn’t the issue, but Noah isn’t sure Tobias is going to see how perfect his surprise is. But everyone thinks puppies are cute, right?

Tobias has always known when his gentle giant of a husband is hiding something. The Valentine’s Day surprise is no different, except that it seems to be making Noah a nervous wreck. But since their holidays have always been low-key, he’s not sure what there is to worry about…unless his sexy husband is hiding something a lot more interesting than a bouquet of roses.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about flowers and cards, not puppy play and sexy secrets, but sometimes perfection involves looking a little outside the box.

Zac has a secret…and he’s worried about what his husband would think.

When you’ve been married for years, you aren’t supposed to pop up with a new and interesting kink. At least, that’s what Zac keeps telling himself. His husband Hunter is sweet, loving, and understanding, but he hadn’t signed up for anything like what Zac wants to explore.

Zac has a secret…but Hunter isn’t worried…just confused.

Zac is a constant source of surprise and humor for Hunter. But he’s been acting even more interesting than usual, and Hunter has a feeling it’s time to see what his sexy husband is up to. When he begins to understand what Zac is holding back, Hunter has a decision to make.

Two loving men. One big question about what really matters when you’re in love.

Cade has never had to hide who he is… Tim has never known anything but hiding.

Cade is ready for what he thinks is the next step in their exploration… meeting other people in the lifestyle. Tim can’t image sharing any aspect of something so personal with anyone but Cade.

Can they reconcile their differences? Will Cade push Tim too far or is Tim ready to take the next step with him?

As Tim and Cade’s journey continues, how will Tim react when Cade takes the fantasy that has brought them so close in an unanticipated direction?

Will he like the new direction or will it be too much too soon for Tim?

Cade seems to be accepting of what Tim wants, but what will Cade think of Tim’s next taboo desire?

When Tim runs into problems trying to accomplish his second goal, will he have the courage to ask his sexy neighbor for help with his next naughty fantasy?

Eric’s grown more confident. He has to admit that.

With Marcus’s love and support, he’s stronger than ever, but it’s not enough. His daddy’s given him the ability to go after what he wants, but there’s so much more that feels just out of reach. Eric doesn’t want part of the lifestyle or some of the submission…he wants everything.

For Marcus, there’s nothing more beautiful than watching his boy’s confidence grow.

Marcus loves every step that Eric has taken on his journey, but he doesn’t want to push his boy too far, too fast. And when the only part of Marcus’s future that’s clear is Eric by his side, it’s not fair to his boy to rush things. A daddy should be able to provide for his boy. A looming retirement and a questionable future aren’t enough. Not when he wants to give his boy everything.

When it comes to their relationship, Eric is ready to jump in headfirst. But how does Eric show his daddy that everything doesn’t have to be planned out to be perfect?

When friends fix you up, it’s either going to be a spectacular failure or a fascinating first date. Unfortunately for Arthur, it’s the owners of the Bound & Controlled club who fix him up and his first date is an email. So it’s going to be a fascinating failure?

Joseph knows his terrible schedule and long work trips make meeting people difficult…and they make meeting Daddies even harder. But after months of exchanging emails with the sweet Dom with a dry sense of humor, he’s starting to wonder if he’s finally found the Daddy of his dreams…one who’s funny and completely supports his passion for cereal and comfort food.

Any man who mails you cereal is a keeper, right?

Something’s coming between them, but Harper can’t even begin to guess what’s wrong with his relationship with Bailey.

Well, their almost relationship. When their only interactions are during scenes at the Bound & Controlled club, Harper can’t help but wonder if he even has the right to ask why Bailey is pulling away.

Bailey’s got a secret, and it’s eating away at him and his relationship with his Dom-with-benefits Harper. It doesn’t matter how he feels about Harper or what he envisions for their future, because Harper’s made one thing clear: he doesn’t like littles.

When assumptions and crossed wires erode a relationship, it’ll take a leap of faith to fix what’s broken.

For some people change is scary, but others jump in headfirst.

Jeremy and Kevin’s life takes another curious turn when Maddox needs an interesting favor and Jeremy is just the man for the job. In his role as a test dummy to help Maddox learn the art of shibari, Jeremy and Maddox cross an unexpected line and new boundaries are tested. But change is inevitable when you’re closer than family…right?

With career goals to pursue, sexy new skills to learn, and a sleepover to plan, change is inevitable…and sometimes a lot of fun.

Kevin and Jeremy have finally gotten everything they’d ever wanted…but now what?

They have more questions than answers and stress is mounting. Are they out? Are they actually free of their domineering parents? How do they explain their relationship when they can’t even define it themselves?

They thought that falling in love was the hard part, but now they’re starting to see that it was just the beginning.

Living together had been their only goal, but now what?

Bryan and Maddox spent their first weeks back at college trying to keep their relationship from falling apart. Now that they’re living together and learning how to make their unique relationship work all over again, new issues have come up.

When a startling incident with Jeremy and Kevin leaves the couple confused, and a dinner with Maddox’s parents puts them on edge, Maddox does his best to make sure Bryan can cope. Helping Bryan find the courage to take the final steps in accepting what he needs is more than what Maddox wants to do…it’s what a Daddy is meant to do.

Bryan knew going back to college would change things between him and Maddox, but he never expected how much.

With new living situations and problems, Bryan didn’t think his junior year would be so difficult. Going from the perfect summer with Maddox to a crazy roommate who doesn’t respect boundaries is pushing him to the edge. Can Maddox be his Daddy when there’s no place to play and no privacy to be themselves?

Maddox knew going back to college would change things between him and Bryan, but he never expected how much.

He’d spent the summer learning to be the perfect Dom and Daddy for Bryan, but when he can’t even find the privacy to give his boy the spanking he needs, things have to change. The only option seems radical, and he can’t see a way to make it work. Can he be Bryan’s Daddy if he can’t make things right for his baby?

Maddox thought the hardest part of his relationship with Bryan would be just getting it started. He was wrong.

Learning how to be the Dom and Daddy that Bryan needs is harder than he ever imagined. Each new step in their relationship is a learning experience he’s not sure he’s ready to handle. He wants to make the right decisions, but he’s afraid he doesn’t know how.

Bryan thought the hardest part of his relationship with Maddox would just be admitting that he wanted one. He was wrong.

Opening up to Maddox has been hard enough, but when it becomes clear Maddox wants to find friends that understand the lifestyle, Bryan isn’t sure he can handle it. When he can barely share what he needs with Maddox, how is he supposed to talk about it with someone else?

With a boyfriend and a Daddy who get along and both love him to pieces, whether they’ve said the words or not, Cody knows asking for more would be selfish. But when all he wants is for them to love each other as much as he loves them, is being selfish really bad?

Jameson knows that loving Cody means accepting Ford’s presence in Cody’s life as well. But what he isn’t expecting are his growing feelings for Ford. Jameson doesn’t want a Daddy, but would a friend who understands Cody be a bad thing? And what if it grows into something more?

Ford never thought that he’d find someone to love and take care of, much less two men who are starting to touch his heart in such different ways. As he looks at Cody and Jameson, he can see the family he’s longed for finally within his reach. But two men dating the same person is far different than falling in love with each other, and what if it’s more than Jameson can handle?

When two men come together in friendship around a third, is falling in love that big of a leap?

All Sawyer really wants for Christmas is to be able to provide a better home for Cooper. A run-down roach motel isn’t where he wants his bubbly, always-looking-on-the-bright-side boyfriend to live. But instead, he has to settle for surprising Cooper with a second-hand present tucked under their sad Christmas sticks trying to pass for trees.

Cooper can’t imagine a more incredible Christmas. He has wonderful presents for Sawyer and an even better surprise he knows will have Sawyer bouncing around their cute little Christmas trees. With all the adventures they’ve had over the past year, Cooper knows that next year will be even better. He just needs to make sure Sawyer can see the perfection that’s just around the corner.

Sometimes you have to decide between a nice guy and your kink…at least, that’s how it feels to Warren.

With a sweet, sexy, considerate alpha in his life, Warren shouldn’t have anything to complain about. But instead of being content with his boyfriend, Warren can’t help wondering what would happen if he was completely honest with his careful alpha.

Heath knows he’s losing Warren, but he’s just not sure why. He knew they were meant to be together from the first time they met, but something is keeping them from taking their relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, he’s lost about what the problem is until a celebrity interview on television starts opening his eyes to a completely new idea of what a relationship could look like.
