The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

Heart, Body & Soul (MxM) by woundedsouul

Riyaan considers himself a lover, with a romantic ideology of heart, body and soul. Unfortunately for him, he can only get close to Ivan's body, but not his heart and soul, which he claims to belong to his ex-lover. Despite a no-strings-attached arrangement, Riyaan finds himself falling hard for Ivan. Not realising that somewhere between falling in love and having his feelings reciprocated, there's heartbreak that is all-consuming and soul-shattering. A complete HEA.

The Terms of an Alpha ✔️ by addictwakeyboard

The terms were simple- or maybe just simple in theory. They each get three lifelines. A hookup whenever they needed no questions asked. Ender Lockwood-King did not expect his newest fuck buddy to be UCLA's golden boy. Ender could not stand golden boys. In fact, he despised them. They represented everything he was meant to be, but wasn't. Saint Daniels was so deep in the closet that he was drowning in clothes. He never expected anyone to figure out his secret, but Ender sees through him within seconds of meeting him. They arrive at an agreement to be friends with benefits, but it becomes more complicated as their relationship reveals truths about themselves. Ender must confront his inability to form emotional connections, while Saint must decide if this relationship is worth leaving the closet for.
