The Limits of Love by JGCohen

Fred is your typical teenager; moody, has low-self esteem, and is really bad at math. The only thing that makes him different from the other guys is his taste in music and his sexuality. He knows what he wants right from the start, but is scared of other people thoughts and judgements, and that's why he's kept himself inside the closet ever since he realized he's not really into girls. He tried to hide it from everyone else, even to his close circle of friends, but all of his plans started going south when he meets their new neighbor, Darren, a very handsome fellow who moved to Los Angeles with his family all the way from South Korea to live at the house on the other side of the road. Fred falls for him at first-sight, and things started to escalate when he found out that they were on the same class, and things got even more deeper when Darren agreed to be his tutor in calculus. That's when he realized that his hiding needed to stop. Witness as the two of them struggle with their hardships, relationships, and responsibilities in life as they try to keep their friendship intact from a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Will they manage to keep their relationship as it is, or will it develop into something more, that even an ocean spanning miles and miles couldn't completely separate them from one another?

Haunt me, Mate by mystery28

Rejection is something every wolf deeply fears. Milan is scared - scared of rejection. First-born omega son of two alpha dads, he's fought all his life to be the strongest, the smartest, to earn his title as future alpha. But his sickly beginnings planted seeds of uncertainty within him, questions of whether he'll ever be worthy of his mate. And the fact that it's been five years since he should've met them, doesn't help at all. Evander is angry - angry at everything and everyone. He believes his anger a twin brother that he absorbed in his mother's womb. It's the only way he can explain why he feels this way, why he kills wolves, tortures them, hunts them, feeds on their suffering. These days, Evander is mostly angry with himself angry, because of how he feels about a newly captured, not-so-little omega wolf, whose eyes make Evander wonder why he can't throw the last punch, will there be sparks again if he throws the last punch?

Too Good to Be Real by royalty__writes

She felt his warm palm on her wrist and at once she was facing him. Without warning, his lips engulfed hers, setting her on fire just like she did him. His lips were warm and soft and she revelled in it as she shut her eyes, her body instantly warming up to the kiss. She wrapped her arms around him, marvelling at how their bodies fit perfectly together. It felt so good, like her head was rotating. Nothing else mattered. Just the two of them. This was all she needed. Someone who accepted her for her. Her flaws, her beauty, herself, hook line and sinker. She withdrew reluctantly, angry she had to stop the kiss and also afraid someone had seen them. As she stared into his eager eyes, she knew she loved him but she couldn't help thinking she was doing the wrong thing. She loved him, but it wasn't fair to his girl. She could do anything, run, apologise, but she followed her heart. She drew him back and continued the kiss. A Nigerian themed story bound to leave you yearning for the next chapter.

Serendipity [BoyxBoy] by KingOfCornFlowers

Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.

An unexpected visit from his girlfriend's brother while she's out of town, leads straight, alpha male Dimeji down a path he'd never imagined. What is it about J.J that seems to weaken his resolve and dilute his staunch heterosexuality.? This is wrong. This is forbidden. This is the best s*x of Dimeji's life. #1 in #lagos #blackgaylove #gaystory #seduced PS: ALL IMAGES ARE PROPRIETARY. DO NOT REUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION. This is a bxb/mm story. In other words, gay af and it's a rather spicy one. If that's not your thing, that's okay. Just giving you fair warning so you know how to proceed. :) If you are triggered by the following, you should probably find something else: - All things gay. - A straight guy getting 'turned'. - Betrayal - Cheating - Under-g shenanigans I loooove feedback. Please shower me with comments!
