Well, with the way Thomas and Randy are feeling and thinking I guess it will only be a question of time before they have at least a threesome with Andy though I don't think a foursome with Matt is totally out of the equation. Matt likes to think so, but then we see how he capitulated with Andy eventually, and he could well do the same. We know the seed is there. It's his moral upbringing that keeps rearing up and stopping him. This raises the question of morality and the boundaries. What is too far? What is far enough? And if we open wide the doors is there any way of closing them again? I think this is rather what Andy has done and I really have to ask myself whether that is a good thing or not. I don't have answers to that. The girls are amazing. I think they might be very hard to find in real life.

As I see it Andy's in a bad place regarding his sex obsession, but I think Matt is just about there too. What if Matt had not had this sex week with Andy? Where would he be then? At least Matt is taking some of the pressure off, even though now Matt has that problem too. These knots are so difficult and they not going to untie easily. Can Andy keep things in control? Can Matt? And then there's all the shit that's going to fly on Monday. Oh my! More knots, more crap! Shucks, this is so fucked up and shows no sign of resolution coming. What is the answer for Andy and for Matt?

The school meeting was a nightmare, but so glad they did that. Imagine if they had walked into that school on Monday with the staff having the attitudes they did. At least they got the principal on their side and the JV coach, but the rest of them are head in the clouds typical educationalists who know better because they got a degree or some other nonsense. It makes my blood boil because I am one of those educationalists too, but I hope I'm not such a big dick as they are. Where's compassion? Where's tolerance? And why would they stand against the younger, more vulnerable, and support the older who should know better. Sorry! That really sent me on a rant. Glad the boys got together and are determined to stick together. They will need to do that and knowing they have each other's backs will really help them deal with some of the shit. Good on Lisa for the reaction she had. Heartily endorsed. Am wanting to find out what happens but really not wanting there to be a whole heap of shit as I think there's bound to be. People can be at their damndest worst in a situation like this. They gonna have to be really strong to weather this.

I think the quotes are great. They make one think about things pertaining to the story and beyond. Keep them coming! We still have the knotty problems going round and round. Andy and Matt are surely caught up in a sex whirlpool and I can't see how they are going to come out of this without lots of reassessment and hooking their hopes and dreams on something more than sex. If they remain focused on sex exclusively they are going to hurt each other and others badly. Some knots definitely need untying here. Just my opinion. Pity, as you say, others are not commenting too. Would love to know what others think of the story.

There's this start to a line towards the end of the chapter that needs fixing: "Mr. Gibson dad gave Randy a stare ..." Gibson is Andy's surname! I don't think Andy's dad was there. The complicity of Dillon's crime grows, but the fear that his obsession with sex is what Andy and now Matt are experiencing, and perhaps Randy and Thomas too is quite scary. Why and how does this happen? And, of course, the stronger this lust has a grip on them the more love struggles to win through, isn't that so? How does one come to a balance in this? Your story is raising some interesting questions. Not sure whether you have any answers to them, but perhaps your story will reveal how the boys learn to cope with these knotty issues.

Started this part of the story with a bang, you might say! This incredible physical union is amazing, but it will take more than this to come to total healing. The physical expression of sex can be mind-numbing which stops us dealing with the thoughts and feelings, but is only in the end a short-term solution and not a lasting one. I hope when they come out of this escape that they will be able to face what needs facing with courage and boldness and faith to go forward and conquer and win.

Wow! As Matt said - it was 0 to 60 in 10 seconds! But made a very satisfying ending (at least in my book) and one which left me thinking that together they could deal with any knots they needed to. Andy is so very fortunate to have Matt, and Matt is an incredible treasure. Here he says he's not ready and wants to talk, but Andy needs the substitute and the comfort of physical contact through what he knows: sex - it's what he knows and understands. And really that's what Matt really wants too and has wanted all along, so it's a very fitting conclusion. Wonderfully gay. Wonderfully romantic too. For me it wipes away the drama and bad taste of Dillon (though I'm so sad for Dillon too as he is like this because of bad things that happened to him. I hope you can redeem him in a future tale). Thanks for a great story.

A very sad chapter but I must say exceedingly well handled. Matt's and Andy's responses are so very real and you made us feel with them. I think you made the questioning scene with the police officers very realistic and showed Matt's emotion very well and realistically. Andy's attempt to escape and then wishing he were dead and really wanting to do something in the heat of the moment are so very real. That police officer was tremendous in assessing where Andy was and in circumventing further tragedy. Very good. I feel as though I have just been watching the most awful tension-filled drama unfolding and it was absolutely riveting. Brilliantly done!

What's going on? You've told this same thing now at least three times and we seem to be milking it dry. I think you need to re-read the last three chapters and condense them into one or two chapters and avoid a load of unnecessary repetition. Nothing more to add. It's same thing again!

Not sure I can add anything more than what I said on the last chapter. We haven't really moved forward any here. I'm not sure that we have greater perspective. Dillon's attempted rape has just got him more fired up than ever so the sex with Andy was hot and also took on a new aspect of some BDSM style sex which Andy liked and even became the dominant tormentor. That could have been funny if it wasn't so serious. Andy could end up just like Dillon if he does not get out of this before it's too late.

So very sad, and the more so because of the huge deception. Dillon is so good at conning everyone and living the lie of Mr Nice Guy and being such a predator. He really needs help. He's probably got screwed up over the fact that he was abused and it's never been dealt with. And Andy is very caught in his web, thoroughly tied in knots. Not sure what it will take to get him free. Maybe a confrontation in which he actually sees Dillon abusing a youngster. It's like wives who get bashed by their husbands and can't leave them even though they get badly beaten. The beating comes with the turf and they seem to get turned on by it or something. Well, at least Matt is out of it, but what will he do? Will he tell his dad? Will his dad be able to do anything? These things are so hard to prove and end up being one person's word against another's. Oh, I hope Andy comes to his senses somehow before he gets badly hurt.

Before I forget again an error that has been repeated several times earlier (not in this chapter) is "waste" when it should be "waist". Oh my, that was perhaps somewhat embarrassing though not one of them showed the least embarrassment. It was natural to want to find out who or to spy on them but it would have been natural to show some embarrassment too. I'm sure Gina was beetroot red - just as well it was dark! It did make Andy finally own up. I think this is where he has lied to Matt, as he denied earlier having sex with Dillon. At least that is out in the open between them now. Matt is amazing to still be his friend. Makes me wonder if he really is gay and if he really does have the hots of his friend Andy. He would be angry and jealous if so, but he shows none of this and is only concerned for Andy's safety. Wow! He is amazing! It will be very interesting to see what happens at Dillon's birthday bash. I want to know all the details, like Emily!

So, this is what it has come to. I must say I expected the ending to be much worse, but Dillon has good reason to end the relationship, though they should have seen this one a long way back. I think, though, for Dillon, it is an easy way out. I don't believe he loves Andy at all, and really Andy doesn't love him. He's smitten with him and totally obsessed, possessed by him. But when the dust settles he'll find he didn't really love him, though he thought he did. Doesn't make the ending less painful, but it will eventually make the picking up and going on a lot easier. Then he'll be able to think of what Dillon has taught him and the fun they have had together. Dillon hasn't ever treated him badly and that is a huge blessing. He has been gentle and loving with Andy and Andy really has much to be grateful to him for. He could have been a whole heap worse. I think he liked Andy a lot. It will be very interesting to see how Andy copes with this and what it does for his relationship with Matt. I think Matt will stand by him through it all. He is such a loyal friend.

Wow! That was a very hot chapter. Sizzled! I can understand where Andy is and why is totally smitten with Dillon. Dillon is giving him what he wanted all along and it's a helluva lot better even than he imagined it would be. Of course he thinks he's in love with Dillon and Dillon with him. Ah, young love! It is so utterly overwhelming and passionate and takes away every bit of logic and sense and wisdom one possesses. Poor Andy when Dillon drops him, as he no doubt will. What was interesting is that Andy heard Dillon call out Matt's name. What was going on there? It wasn't his imagination either. Does Dillon have the hots for Matt? It would not have been surprising if Andy had called out Matt's name in his passion. But Dillon? What is going on here? I must say, this story is really getting better and better. I think maybe you need to go back and re-write some of the earlier chapters - from scratch - with this new skill, fire, imagination (whatever it is) that is making you write so well in these later chapters. I think it will make the difference in the story and attract a lot more readers who will stay with you.

Oh how I do love your writing Nephy! And here it is evocative of things lovely and beautiful and romantic rather than stark and bold and tough as it can be too. You are so good at building a mood. One feels almost like Sasha must, in a bit of a dream-like state wondering what's real and what's not real. That was so shocking too, the discovery that Sasha only understands love in terms of sex which if given must be given back. It seems too that Nik has much to deal with before he can come to terms with himself and to love again. Looking forward to your next posting on this beautiful and intriguing story.

Loving it. You doing a great job of developing these characters. We got a good insight into Eric here with his interaction with Rob, and of course, with his brother he is cocky and defensive. Wonder how he will be with Nelson. I look forward to seeing that!

Wow! Well, Andy finally got his wish and he's over the moon! Lucky guy! Dillon probably won't last but at least it's his initiation into gay sex and it seems it's all good at the moment. I wonder if Andy is still so interested in getting his QB pos back. Poor Matt must be feeling somewhat neglected just at the moment but he has broad shoulders. You sure kicked the story up a notch this time. Enjoying it even more!

It was a very enlightening digression. Interesting that Andy's concerned sex as that is what was driving him at that stage of his life and girls were available to him. It seems from this that he is not gay at all. And then Matt's digression is all about him reasoning out of who he is and what he is so that he doesn't come to terms with himself at all but is this good guy living out the popular role though underneath it he is not shaping up sexually and that is causing a problem with the girls who want him. It's like both him and Andy have lost out in the sex arena - one because of a broken leg and the other because of a broken pysche. Very interesting and really not sure where you going with the story, but I want to find out.

A very dramatic turn around for Andy, and for Matt too, but in a different way. I really like what you are doing here. The jealousy which sparked a fight was really so realistic. The fact that their friendship outshone their disagreement was really wonderful. For so many that fight would have marked the end of a friendship, but these two, like a married couple, fight and make up, though the make up is not as good as it would be if they were in a sexual relationship. That continues to be a frustration to them both in different ways and is leading them to make different choices which may in the long run prove to be bad choices. Very interesting and challenging. You are writing a great story that is most enjoyable reading. Thank you.

The knots are forming and tying and untying in weird and unpredictable ways, like a bunch of twisting snakes writhing together in a pit! Sorry! I did get a bit carried away with that! I'm enjoying your story and I think you doing a great job expressing the fears and loves, the confusion of growing up and coming to terms with things, and the importance of friendship in amazing and wonderful ways. Thanks for writing and sharing your story.

Very interesting stats you quoted and probably as accurate as any would be. I don't actually doubt them and think it's very realistic what you are doing in your story. Andy, as Fax points out, is a dick in pushing Matt too far too quickly, and Matt is a dick in hiding when he has the opportunity to come out and at least experiment. Matt is just too scared yet to act on his feelings - I suppose we should call him sensible and mature for this - but he is a spoil sport. Fortunately, Andy is not going to take no for an answer so I think Matt will succumb in the end. Loving your story. It took a while to get into it, but I am enjoying it the more I read it. Thanks for encouraging me to read it.

Thank you for responding. I have always enjoyed dabbling with the haiku form though I don't think I have a great poetic soul! Haha! I have fun. Bless you for the encouragement.

Thank you, friend, for taking the time to read. Glad they spoke to you.

Wow! Well done! This is a whole heap better than your short story on the same topic. This is good and workable and has the potential of becoming a good story. Great cliff hanger. It leaves me feeling somewhat nervous for our man as he seems a little too gullible here. He's not had any real contact with Dash and knows nothing about him it seems, so he could be in for real trouble.

Well done for posting and starting down the rocky road of authorship!
