I am intrigued by Otis. Does he have some form of autism ? He is so socially awkward and seems to look to his late grandmother for advice. He is getting alone in a poor apartment house with the help of three menial part-time jobs. Hudson, his neighbor and undercover cop, thinks he looks like a model. Otis is frustrated by talking to online bots. He wants to ask Hudson dating advice and I bet Hudson will be very surprised. Hudson is investigating human trafficking. Any chance a model looking Otis could be taken up by a human trafficker?

I found your age comment in Chapter 11 of the previous story "Yes the holy Roman empire fell apart a little bit over 200 years ago but Ludwig was actually a king in the early years of the empire, so he is much older then it first appears (and yes I may have forgotten to clarify it in the story 😓) " Ludwig's exact age is not stated

Well, he has opened himself up and became very vulnerable. Will Alex be who he said he is ? Liam is very inexperienced.

Great outline of lots of things happening--Our heroes are maturing and getting prepared for their future in DC--BTW--loved seeing Northman had a meltdown !

Fetching pic of a hot Jude Law--thanks Julius has it all wrong. Ludwig will be shocked and unhappy to see him. He has a real mate now Ludwig was mad and guilty that Julius turned him. It was not told to him that he would be made a vampire. Julius, apparently, did not know that he could turn Ludwig, but he did and then left thinking Ludwig was killed in a fire. But. Ludwig did live and very surprised and hurt at his transformation. Ludwig thought he was being punished for having sex with a male. Only Caden has brought him back to a happy, loving and guilt free life. He does not miss or pine for Julius. I do not think their meeting will go well. Will Caden need to referee? BTW--Ludwig earlier said the date of their meeting was set in the 1700's so they did not meet 1000 years ago. Is Julius delusional?

God, I hate that imp. At least, we know he will lose eventually.

Tomas has returned and saved Henry. Now, Henry is being trained and prepared to move to the plains. He us adapting to using his lumins. He just told his parents about his true nature and need to leave. They are incredulous. Tomas demonstrates his special nature. Now what happens? Is it possible for Tomas and Henry to travel so fast, so far, so often and not be noticed by the US military spy satellites?

What a wonderful trip! They met old friends in France, Spain and Italy and had very enjoyable experiences. I am glad they had no real problems and all seemed eventually to get along and like their times abroad. They will have good memories and want to try things at home they liked elsewhere--like paella and crepes. As was noted at the end, they are now seasoned international travelers.

Will is really showing concern for Travis. He reads him well and acts to help him get stronger and better adjusted. They have had great sex. The test of their monogamy is coming up. Are they going to bring other guys into their sex play? Will has been asked to include two other guys who are not exclusive and he said he would ask Travis if he is open to a foursome? Could this be the cause of a huge fight? It should be a defining moment.

Yep, Sam's dreams of wealth and keeping a safe distance from Julius just went tits up. He has some wild, unrealistic assumptions--like he would get $ 100 million for a few weeks of companionship with no sex involved. Will he be killed when he is longer needed? He better grown up fast at 19 and learn from Caden. Is he up to it? He is not the only one who will be shocked. Juilus thinks he can take up with Ludwig as his willing sexual partner when Ludwig is committed to Caden and likely very mad at Julius.

What an unexpectedly luxurious flight to Hawaii. Will's place stunned them and all shared in good food and good times. Will took care of Travis and Travis helped him out in the sling. I am sure there will be many stories and a few traumas this week. So far, Will has it all under control.

This to me was a sad, inconclusive and at times awkward family reunion. Sebastian came out to his dad and sister. He wanted to come clean. His dad accepted him. His sister was surprised she did not know before. "Sebastian had always thought he’d be alone in the closet, and it seemed now that, out of the closet, he’d remain that way for the rest of his life’s tale." I hope he does not remain alone or become an addict. His father is an addict.

Arnaud can be at peace. His home for young men was given an angel painted by Amand and Colin. Love and friendship reins.

Jonathan said it best to Rusty "Then I’ll leave you be. Just don’t be disappointed if the fantasy doesn’t turn out to be as good once it becomes reality.”

Damn Seth. You are in a heap of trouble. Finding you love gay sex with a bigot, in the closet abuser. You loved him fucking you and want it from him often. Is your sex drive higher than Craig's? You want to have sex with him. Are you going to get reckless? Craig is scared and deluded. He has limits--no kissing. He says he is having sex with you for fun. But, he has dated girls since the 7th grade and had not had any form of sex with them. In a few weeks, he has done it all with you. He wants to have sex with you. Let us hope Stacy does not see Seth's hickey. Like Shadow086, I can see how this is going to become a total mess.

Wow--Julius had planned to stay at the high-end resort established by Ludwig and Caden. Julius discovered it by accident with reading a magazine. However , Julius has some mistaken assumptions. He thinks Ludwig was killed and instead has lived. He thinks he can dominate the relationship and regain Ludwig as a lover. Ludwig will not fit an expected subservient role when they meet. Fireworks could result. Julius does not know he left Ludwig guilt stricken as a vampire who only regained his confidence and pride by living with a loving Caden. Ludwig could be very mad at Julius for his action and lack of training for his vampire life. Caden is not shocked to see another vampire. He knows Ludwig will protect him. Caden does not know Sam's role. Both will need to talk and Sam will likely be shocked to learn Caden and Ludwig love each other, He cannot dream of loving Julius.

Wow--Rafe and Andre have a huge missunderstanding-Each is hurt to his core and shocked Rafe, extremely mad that Andre thinks him to be a monster, flys off. Andre is left alone behind dejected and suddenly faces three vampires interested in him too much.

Great use of the Wights. The Emperor has learned the wrong lesson. He wants to kill all bears. Tau is punished an anyone who thinks the bears and all should be negotiated with are enemies of the Emperor. I expect the Emperor will demand the bears and all be killed in the morning. However , if the Emperor is sent into the void, his side would collapse, I bet. Will the mysterious evil force appear to attack the bears?

I am so impressed. Armand and Carl have paintings in the Louve. Hooray! Now to have a good lunch at the crepe restaurant and to meet a not so well Arnaud.

Oh, I understand that no secrets can be revealed. I just want to be free to guess about possible implications from the story line. I also accept I can be way off.

Julius might want a pleasant, happy, cooperative food source or even sex object. He has sex with Ludwig. He might eventually want to have sex with Sam. They could be together for a long time. If Julius becomes unhappy ,he might want to trade up for a better choice. However, if he plans to keep Sam just as a slave or pet or sex object on his ship or in one of his homes, he can accept Sam being unhappy. Julius can find his pleasure and companionship elsewhere. Will Sam learn from Caden the joys of being a partner of a vampire and change his attitude?

We can guess that Julius is sailing to see Ludwig. Sam will be his juice box and not partner like Caden is to Ludwig. I expect he will eventually wear the collar for the promised money. Juilus does think of him as his pet. Sam does not yet realize that his survival depends on Julius liking him. He does not have to follow through and pay him any money. Remember, Sam was penniless and homeless so what Sam first offered was beyond his hopes just a few says ago. I bet Julius is adept in getting food sources and can trade or even get rid of a sullen or cranky or uncooperative Sam when another food source comes along on the island or elsewhere. He can live for months without food. Sam needs go talk to Caden.

It is a huge challenge to organize this next trip to Europe, So many issues and people challenges were identified and conflicting needs were addressed. Armand along with Colin are up to it. GG was needed and stepped in the help Louise adapt and not feel slighted. David as the newest kid, was made to feel as a true family member. This 4 week trip should be great fun.

So he is a food source so Julius will want to keep him alive--for a while. By The Way--any chance the ship will connect with Ludwig and Caden's island and resort?

Our hero just pissed off his vampire, Julius, by surprising him and plunging a knife into his chest. Just moments ago, his vampire tried to calm him down...."You will see, when we get to know each other better, I can be quite reasonable and generous." I assume Sam made another bad choice by trying to kill his captor and will suffer for it. If Sam survives his failed action , his vampire will be upset and punish him. I wonder what punishment he will receive. We still do not know why Sam was not killed at first. Is he a companion? Is he a food source?
