Since it's a no-Leopards Saturday, I have to make do with reading the last couple of chapters and think of new questions you probably won't answer.
I wonder what Ben has told Mitchell. I have the feeling he won't go back to seeing him, at least not until after Mardi Gras. Same as with Mason and Dexter.
I'm also wondering about Ollie's casual assumption in the previous chapter about both Ben and Mason being versatile and engaging in full on sex during their first night together. Of course, Ollie is just doing it to tease, but I still think he's jumping to conclusions. I bet he didn't ask Helena to have anal sex on their first night, though he would've expected 'normal straight sex' - and while Ben has been with Mitchell, he's still somewhat inexperienced, and if Mitch is mainly a bottom, I'd expect Ben has only tried topping. But maybe Ben prefers his partners to top ? Mason comes across as versatile or a top, but also as a guy who wouldn't push for anal sex on the first date / night.
Now, I know you don't write about sex stuff, but in this case I'm speculating, because to me it's a measure of how far their feelings and mutual trust have developed. If Ben never had full on sex with Mitchell or only topped, but was willing to go the whole way with Mason during their three weeks together, that says a lot about how badly he's fallen for Mason. Same thing if Mason normally tops, but is happy to be versatile with Ben. But of course, it's also hot to imagine them together.
