Latch On Me
"...Plato spoke of the original humans as creatures with two heads, two pairs of hands and feet. Monstrous creatures, correct? Monstrous enough to make the God of Gods tremble in fear. He couldn’t have that, so Zeus with a single thunderbolt split them in two, forcing them to spend a lifetime searching for their other half. Let’s say I found mine in Phillip. Phillip was me, and I was Phillip..."

Penumbra
Being gay in South Korea was already a death sentence, but being gay in the military was grounds for unimaginable torture.
If you were found out.
As Woojin was soon to learn, military life wasn't easy. One wrong move, and you became everyone's punching bag.
Death was a comfort for those lucky enough.
Woojin only wanted to coast through his obligatory 18 months and stay under the radar.
Until he caught the eye of a man named Minsu, and his peaceful military life was taken away from him.

Chained, Body and Soul
Chains, blindfold, concrete floor.
That's all Philip knows when he wakes up trapped in a stranger’s basement. As a Sub, he's familiar with the implements, but this man isn’t his Dom nor is there any indication why he’s taken Philip prisoner. In fact, the man won’t utter a single word.
But the power dynamic is clear, and Philip is well versed in doing whatever he’s told. At least, he is with his jealous, demanding, Dom Koray. Even without Koray present, Philip is bound by his power, and forced to obey his will.
Which might cause a very big problem, because Philip’s new owner isn’t willing to share his affection.

COMPLETE!
Philadelphia, 1972: All Luke wants is to share his music with the world. When an imposing, slightly older trumpet player called Emmett joins his band, Luke is fascinated – and a lifelong friendship is born.

The Cage
Julian's dream is to become one of the most successful criminal lawyers around, so when a client asks him to venture to The Prison From Hell located on a remote island for an assignment, he jumps at the chance in hopes of a promotion. He's well-aware of the prison's infamous reputation, corrupt laws and peculiar hierarchy, so he already expects to find the baddest of the bad and the foulest of the foul within its concrete walls. Instead, he finds and catches the eye of the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on.
When Schneider Cross, the new King of the Prison, offers him a one-in-a-lifetime chance to represent him as his attorney, Julian accepts, but just before he leaves, a riot breaks out and the prison descends into chaos. Julian is unwittingly caught in its midst and is made to defend himself from a group of rapists, forcing him to kill in self-defense.
Angered, the inmates conspire to pin a bogus murder charge on Julian and have him thrown into The Prison from Hell with the intention to finish what they started. Dangerously unprepared and still reeling from the injustice, Julian must now seek the protection of the strongest man in all the prison if he is to survive. Only to ensure the King's protection, Julian must agree to become his 'bitch' and 'serve' him in an entirely different way than the first job entailed.
But how can Julian possibly agree to such a thing when he suspects Schneider of conspiring with the other inmates to get him locked up?
At the Bottom of the Stairwell
Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.
Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.
Also some Doms really hate being told no.

Employee of the Multiverse and His Darling Cat
This journal was intended to recount how I, Noble Malik, a leader of the World Management realm, was transported to a strange world and forced to climb the corporate ladder in order to return home. Inadvertently, it seems to have become a diary about the odd worlds and dangerous mysteries I encounter on business trips with my partner, whose secrets and four-dimensional personality leave me at a loss---yet intrigued. And if the reader wants a literary perspective, I suppose it's about how a workaholic loner unexpectedly learns more about what moves people and himself while uncovering a universe-shattering conspiracy. But honestly, that's too philosophical and romantic. I just wanted to see my cat, Darla, again.

Unbuttoned
Twenty-eight-year-old Wren has been sheltered his whole life. He was homeschooled, and only allowed to socialize with similarly repressed omegas who at the very least, had watched porn by their age. Wren, not so much. Once he finished school and went on into adulthood, you’d think that Wren would have gone crazy trying to experience all the things he’d been denied as a teenager, right? Far from it. Though Wren had moved to a new city for his job and gained new friends who had certainly dabbled in hedonism, Wren had little inclination to join them.
Wren was content with celibacy. He was content with working nine to five, eating lunch with his coworkers, and then going home at the end of the day to binge watch tv shows and try out the new recipes he found online. His life was a boat on still waters, slowly drifting to an expected destination. Steady. Unchanging.
There’s a storm, though, hanging on the fringes of Wren’s life by the name of Vincent. He’s a complete nuisance, with his ridiculous V-neck shirts that show way too much skin, his captivatingly evil grin, and his scent like a minty forest breeze. Wren doesn’t like him at all, and he’s really annoyed that Vincent is apparently the only taxi driver available in the whole city after seven p.m.
And if the fact that the scent of Vincent’s oncoming rut triggered Wren’s heat meant anything significant, like their compatibility, Wren was going to happily ignore it. And if, right before Wren’s next heat, he stole Vincent’s scarf from the backseat of the taxi, then Wren was going to blame it all on the omega heat-brain instincts.
Except, unbeknownst to Wren, there was apparently a ‘stealing an alpha’s clothes to sex’ pipeline that he wasn’t aware of.
Before long, Wren is sucked up into the whirlpool known as Vincent, desperately trying to claw his way out before he drowns. But as it turns out, the whirlpool is just as desperate to drag him down as Wren is to escape.
