There is an immense amount of humour as a third party looking at their relationship. I really am not sure who is more clueless! Great read. Compared to some of the other self indulgent crap around, this is really a great breath of fresh air! Thoroughly enjoying following your talented story telling!

"drove the heel of his hand into Aria’s draw"...? jaw? well "draws" loose ends together.... How do they get out of this? We waits and we sees....😁

Absolutely beautiful! The mention of church st took me back to Toronto when my partner and I met at Woodies. We recreated our meeting on our 10th anniversary, but by our 15th the bar had all been redesigned, so while still Woodies, it wasn't "our" Woodies. You story was made more beautiful by the sadness of the end. While something wonderful had ended, and there was a new something beckoning, it was the beauty he had that was his focus, not what could be had. Thanks.

Great ending of a great, well written story, with great characters. Thanks

Very belated comment here. Kris is a very sad character; besotted, but immature. Completely unable to either get over a blatantly obvious ex, or change his ways to actually win the love of the object of his affection. Very sad bloke, whose idea that violence will achieve his aim is evidence of major mental health problems.

Great story, except this commentator may be your "sole person" that cannot stand having his feet touched! I literally had to skip paras so my toes would uncurl! Thanks!

Oh! Gawd! This either gets resolved quickly because Crispen feels the same, or our hero is going to go through years of torture, self loathing, confusion, tears, heights of passion, deepest love and violent hate. Oh! To be a gay pre teen ... said no one ever! Great story!

Hmmm, having read the comments, I had to reread the story because, well, I didn't see Nate as the prick everyone else saw. Yes, he wants sex and while he has standards they are neither high nor do they involve comprehensive analysis of his partners emotional needs and wants. He goes out of his way to make sure there is consent and as with Tad he is willing to wait. I am not sure we should be even the slightest bit amazed that Nate is not in a relationship; it's going to take an interesting person to get through to him. Kent is a typical gay-curious bloke who takes the next step and then is surprised verging on horrified at how much he likes it, causing a brain explosion. Chris/Tad break up and consequences will play a huge, but irrelevant to Nate, part in the story - very very like real life. And the Texan..... Great read. From a Nate fan!

What a wonder mess of characters! A whole sackfull of human emotions and physical desires. Great reading! As for "confusing"; no more than real life!

I suspect the orgy-of-two will start the moment Aiden arrives! Fun read. Thanks.

Thanks for the...compliment! Actually we gave up on waiting for the snow and ice to melt and moved back across the Pacific (again)! Spending time between FNQ, Boosey (Google it!) and Melbourne! Looking forward to more of your splendid mind's output.😁👍😗

Glad to see you back, providing us lesser mortals with entertainment! The frustration of the unwanted visitor! Great read, Thanks.

You manage to depict a father's concern so well. The "how do I help, but not interfere, protect but not restrict" feelings you have as your child grows. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Well that was...exciting! I really hope Heath allows Aiden to complete his education... Great read Thanks

Looks like relationships are starting to develop. As written, the leaders look like they will be a source of dissension. They don't even try and run the place as a collective. Less than ideal! Thanks

For someone who eants to take it slowly, kissing, talking about ex's, and the "what about the future" discussion, all on a first date! I must have been glacial back in the day! Great read!

One sexy-as-he'll fuck! Heathcliff has gone up in my estimation. Despite not knowing Aiden was a virgin, he instinctively knew he had to take it slowly. Aiden's innocence and inability to read Heathcliff, ignoring the evidence in front of him for the "Coles Notes" version he was given when he took the job is amazing. I suppose when you want something so much that you consider to be out of your league, your mind, when the unattainable seems to be within reach, does start ignoring the obvious for what it intrinsically "knows" despite the evidence Great writing, Thanks.

That's one hell of a proposal! Great writing; keep it up! Thanks

Amazing! Love the mind games as much as the physical ones! Our bunny may be trapped, but also he is a lot stronger and more ethically resilient than Heathcliff knows. Interesting times ahead!

I had mine out the year I got glasses (spectacles) and bands/braces for my teeth... 1970 was a big year... I had probably discovered masturbation a year or two earlier.... cause/effect?🤔🤣

Is there going to be a crash? I get the feeling something is being left unsaid.....

Great chapter. Despite their different experiences, they are both on learning curves. Great writing Thanks

I things being set up for a fall here. Temptation: an ex and "checking the score", the repaying a loan to mentally set himself up for "Just one bet", and the search for a present that may lead him to places he wouldn't normally go. You have laid a very dangerous path for our hero. Can his lover save him from following it to its natural end? Great chapter. Thanks

Really great chapter. Very emotional! You have written characters that truly deserve each other. Thanks

Yes, there is a "false sense of security feeling". I suspect more drama ahead....
