Given others are heaping crap on you, @PrivateTim I thought it only fair.... As this chapter IS "all about him", I'm not sure we can criticise Will for making the story all about him, at least not here and now... 😘

Mr Arbour is SO cruel! As if Austin either breaking off his relationship or "opening it up" will not involve a complete meltdown in Wills relationship. On the other hand “Our Gladiator, who art in Adams, hallowed be thy abs.”; Pure gold! Thank you.

I sense a Mark Arbout trap... is it Finn? Of course I could be wrong, after all Mr Arbour is an honourable man....

Good god, isnt the bloke on the right ( brown hair) the very definition of wholesome? Initially I was going to say he looks like me 50 years ago, but I am not sure I ever looked that innocent....

Jeremy at 7:20 on a Saturday morning is just too much for this duck, especially when he has suddenly decided to be not only contrite but self aware.... wonders will never cease in Arbour-world (sounds a bit "Shondaland" doesnt it...) However, the Golden Gladiator getting rimmed by Austin "in his sleep".... that made the porridge go down very well! Thank you Mr Arbour for providing another great start to a weekend.

No doubt with just a splash of Jeremy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

I thought the overabundance of commentary on Will/Travis needs a little rebalancing. The comment "jeremy is maturing nicely" simply has to be addressed. Jeremy is maturing.... like old cheddar; hard crust, bitey and salty. Compared to a good aged gorgonzola with a decent red..... J has a looong way to go, and in a different direction.

Someone more cynical about Jeremy than me! I am glad I am not alone out on this hitherto lonely limb...

I will admit that when I saw the byline (?) to this story, my heart did sink: more about that fatuous a'hole Jeremy. However (major concesssion) my doubts and concerns were completely unwarranted. I apologise for my inaccurate prejudgement! So Jeremy is here to help... and help some one other than himself.... should be interesting to see the "all about me" man discovering that we all need allies....

"Straight" can be so ... fluid! Great start. Nb do thet get an intimacy coordinator at some point?

Waaaaaay too tame for our narcissit in chief. He'd have nipples, at the very least. His abs would be grotesque ( i like subtle abs...) and the groin bulge would be suggesting he's packin' ( even if its only a box of tissues)

Awesome comment, if I may say. Chuck IV.... Yo, Rey.... 🥰😘🫵 Mr Arbours stories and characters are amazing, his supporters and comentators just bloody marvellous. Thank you.

In summary, I think this chapter reminds us that should any of his characters have a period of bliss and calm, they will always be rewarded with pain and suffering. For our hero the pleasures and delights of Cardona's bed have been rewarded by time on a run down spanish frigate manned by cowards. Happy Easter!

You are so obviously not a boomer. 1,5 inches thick is what we did did for a first course!

Best thing about all comments so far: no one mentioned Jeremy's costume; he's going to be SO pissed!🤣🤣🤣🤣
