Before I add any more comments--thanks for a special early chapter. You ramped up the intensity and added a mystery that could have significant potential downside risks. So Jinzhang thinks CJ actions have outed him as a deep cover CIA staffer. Does he want to neutralize CJ in his CIA undercover role and let him and his bosses know he is being watched. Jinzhang initiated contact after CJ noticed the safe was not resting on its usual number By intentionally ( and not as a mistake that a pro would not make) leaving the safe combination on a different ending number, was CJ being told or signaled that his effort to hide matters has been penetrated and his home was not secure. The safe was old and possibly not a challenge to break into. Had they even changed the combination when they moved in? The safe cracker would be sending a signal that a pro-US spy would find. Unfortunately, CJ and Owen missed the clue. Or, I am assuming too much and the safe cracker was sloppy and not a real pro. Is someone close to them in the pay of the Chinese? I have read-- In most US embassies the State Dept staff contains one or most a few CIA officers, who are under deep cover as regular foreign service officers (FSOs). They are trained to act and function like genuine FSOs and occupy real FSO positions with real duties. Thus they must spend the great bulk of their time performing State Dept roles.

Be wary guys. Your safe was hacked. Someone--the Chinese--wanted to know more about you. They think you really are a spy. The Chinese spy knew most of what happened with the Russian spy and his more to the USA. He had seen the vids. He boldly outed himself for a purpose, He thinks you are now a poorly disguised spy. He offered to help you. What will he do next? What does he want? You have filed a report and talked to the right security people. You refused to be made part of the CIA. See, even the USA wants to see you as a spy. Why cannot the Chinese?

It is up to Jake now. Does what was discussed convince his he was given a very bad deal that will hurt him and potentially many others ? Will he stop and reconsider and use his contacts to see what is really planned for him? Brad must have felt Jake valued a serious risk more than his fairly new marriage Brad overreacted and was very immature , but Jake hit his core fear of abandonment.

Thanks for listening to your fans and taking it all in stride. I hope your computer is fully repaired. They might only keep it if they find the wrong type vids or pics.

Interesting tour of the houses, Armand added key critical information. He missed saying why the Romans washed their clothes in urine. They did not know about and use soap.

Damn--Alec and Finn became so romantic. If Milo had not door blocked him, they would have made love. River finally gives Alec the talk. Get with him and take a chance. No if's and 's or but's. Take a chance at a relationship and love. Alec agrees. So things might turn out very well for the two. But, Alec's dad calls and says he needs to see his dying mother again. He will do it. What can go wrong? Surely, she can't destroy his self-confidence and leave him a wreck?--You bet so !

BTW--today's NY Times has a warning about cryptocurrencies --Bitcoin plunged to its lowest point since 2020 Headline--"Cryptocurrencies Melt Down in a ‘Perfect Storm’ of Fear and Panic"

The scene is set. Jonathan's ass is hurting and he wants to tell Maddox he can't keep having his ass attacked with such vigor and little prep. He needs a break. Maddox will give him a break. Maddox is more committed to being topped and he even got advice from Dex's gay parents. Hopefully he knows what to say clearly to be topped and will get his ass prepared. Has he used any dildos or toys or have any. Does he have enough lube? Damn--it is going to happen or both guys will miss out and be confused and hurt with their relationship on the rocks. Jonathan will be shocked at the request. Talk about a world turned upside down and cognitive dissonance. He needs to really listen and do what Maddox wants and then they can be equals in bed. I bet Jonathan will love being the top.

Oh No--I am fearing this-- You said "Unfortunately, I fear by the end of the month, their Mexican adventure will come to a crashing stop." So soon we will find out what happens

We all just know, Jay will awake. I hope it is just a question of how long he will need to recover before he can play. He will want to go out on a high note and not be disabled permanently. Loren can plan the pedicure party when Jay is ready and show it online to sooth Jay's and the public's worries. I bet they both will want alternating Seahawk green and blue painted on their toes.

When you stand back and look at it, Will looks like the wise, mature person and Brad seems to have the maturity of a hummingbird. Will sized up the situation, brought the right people together and helped them dispassionately analyze what could be going on unlike what Brad and Jake thought. Brad was unable to see an alternate solution and assumed the worse and fled and engaged in dangerous behavior as if his life no longer mattered. Jake did hit on Brad's greatest fear--of abandonment If they both see what they mean to each other, accept the implications of the new information and want to work things out, they could be stronger. I suggest more therapy, too The group should also be wary of a new attack by their adversaries. This attempt failed. A new one could be in order. They should send out feelers to find out if any enemy is planning more.

I have read that some pro football players get pedicures. It can be hard for a tall, muscled guy to bend over to cut their nails and they want their feet to be in top shape with no toe nail/calus problems to impair their running. So Loren could treat Jay to a pedicure with him when Jay recovers.

One potential good outcome: Dirk could be helped. Caleb is going to tell him Barbie ordered him to call. Barbeau is his old teacher and must be a confidant who will want to help Caleb. Barbeau has been around a long time so he may have some useful advice.

Damn--that hurt just imagining it ! Jay is unconscious and Loe is having his worse nightmare-not knowing what is happening to Jay. Jay did not deserve that brutal hit. I hope he recovers soon enough to play some more games in his final season. Jay will want to go out on a high note and winning some games --even if they do not make the Superbowl

Gosh, Kbois you asked to see pics of feet ! I might want to do that but I would be too embarrassed to ask.

Ok--good intro to the conference and persons attending. Lewis is the big enigma ---why join the site selection committee with Mason and why did he take on Vincent and does he have an undisclosed magical power? If he has a surprise and a magical power, he could have an advantage. Caleb acted as an enforcer and stepped in to defend his alpha. Was this Lewis' game all along? He must have wanted to beat down Caleb and has found a way. The upcoming fight should be very interesting.

Now we know what happened to Brad and Jake. Brad is recovering from the meth in an agitated, not overly panful, way. Others are smoothing the path Brad and Jake are taking to find a solution. Will fought Brad and when he would not answer him when they first met. Will then brought the right people together in Santa Cruz to figure out what is happening. With Will's and Grand's insights the serious risks and underhanded schemes were revealed. Jake was offered a sweet deal--he thought-by the CIA to clear his record, but it meant he had to spend one year undercover in Mexico plus 3 more years in the Army Reserve doing something not yet explained. Will realized Brad thought he was leaving him like Robbie and going into danger and possibly die for an honorable reason,. He also thought Jake was being one-sided and did not think of him and their marriage commitment. Brad freaked out. Jake wanted to clear his name and honor. He offered to give up his $50 million payment if the got a divorce. Honor, not money, was driving him. Grand suggested Jake was not getting a sweet deal, but could be trapped into 4 years in Mexico --adding his Reserve requirement-in dangerous undercover job . Jake would also be away from the family and could not protect then if their old adversaries decided to attack. Jake had not thought that the government would lie to him ( silly boy) or that the evil ones could be behind his offer and would take his absence to their advantage to kill family members ( or him). It looks like the air has been cleared. It is up to Brad and Jake to make some decisions. I hope they accept a victory and rejoin. I hope jake will reject the CIA offer now that is potentially a very bad deal. Brad has to accept Jake back and both need to stay at the Santa Cruz house for the meth recovery with what medicine Jake brought. When ready, they can have great make-up sex. The other guys should leave Brad and Jake alone, Will has been a hero and wise beyond his 17 years. He never mentioned the boy toy in Brad's bed. This is a much better resolution than I expected. Bravo , Mark !

Love the ideas of nudes in each chapter but too much of a good thing could spoil things--How about half almost naked and half naked?

MrsGnomie---- At over 100 comments, you must have realized any chance to see nearly naked pics Loe and Jay is driving your fans wild. Guys really love visual stimulation and any fantasizes about them.

Karl is so troubled he almost crashed his plane and almost got kicked out of the flying program. He was honest with Jorgen and said he was not attracted to him--even though Jorgen was attracted to Karl. He wanted to kiss him and Karl rejected him Karl under great stress realized George really mattered to him. "But the overwhelming depths of unconsciousness were being stronger. They were beyond his control. Just like his attraction to George." Jorgen solves his unrequited strong sexual feelings problems with Karl by being transferred away to another airbase and new plane training program. However, Karl is upset to learn of this separation from the guy he called his best friend. Karl has to grow up fast and take control of his life. He can't fail again or he will be removed from his training program and even if he passes he could be distracted and die in combat. The stakes are high for him.

Garjah and Essell won the first round at the landing. They stalled any conflict at the second round of a dinner battle or disappearance. Garjah has pushed for public disclosure n=on the planetary news which displeased the Kardoval. But, the Kardoval are building a secret weapon to fight off invaders. Will it work? Can Ases help figure out to defeat it? Garjah is looking for the resistance for help. Their upcoming path is sure. Essell asks Garjah--- “What are we going to do?” Why did this just keep getting more difficult? “Get up. Have first meal with Ases and Bouncer, who probably misses you. Contact the resistance who will be attending tonight’s ceremonies, and prepare for psychological warfare on all levels.

Alec and River commiserate about their relationships. Both are uncertain and questioning. River really likes a guy but doesn't know much about him and thinks he is less serious than River is. Now, it appears Alec is going to see Finn. Some questions ill be answered--For one, we will know about the parents of the little girl I hope to hear Alec speak his mind to Finn and find out how Finn responds. Alec has lots of negative thoughts Will Alec tell Finn what he told River? Alec’s control disintegrated and then he was yelling, “What good would come of it? This isn’t my home. Finn has a life here but I don’t. He deserves better. I can’t move myself into his life and ruin it! I’m still crazy! I can still barely communicate my wants and needs! There’s a reason I’ve never had a long-term partner, River. There’s too much wrong with me! I can’t make it work. No one will want to deal with me the way I am. I don’t deserve someone like that!” Finn please listen to him and talk to him and give him a good massage !

A beautiful story with a wonderful resolution. Love can appear and a true mate can be found later in life. What a delightful change of pace from an angst ridden, painful or manipulative, hurtful coming to realize gay awakening story Thank you for being open to writing more about the couple. I want to know more about Vincent and Cagey and how they live and grow together. I anticipate it could be another positive. life affirming development with most of the challenges dealing with the wilderness

Let us see how Brad reacts as he goes through his painful drug withdrawal and begins to explain what is the problem with Jake and why a divorce is coming. Is he able to accept his son's help? I think Will can help him recover physically and be a voice of calm helping Brad think though more critically about what is happening with Jake? If Brad works with him, I think Will not try to embarrass his father. At a minimum Will could call Grace and say his Dad needs a few more days off. If Brad is not recovering well , maintains a silence about Jake, continues to berate Will and does not swear off his destructive behavior, then Will may call in other family members to help Brad. Is Jake clearly asking for a divorce or does Brad infer this from his actions and time away? Is he going out with others ? Does Brad know for certain what Jake is doing or requesting? Jake handles difficult security assignments and does go undercover and sees people and may have to leave quickly and be gone for an unknown period of time. Jake keeps his jobs confidential. The next chapter will hopefully clarify Brad's issues and how much help he is will to accept. This could be a defining moment in the current relationship between Brad and Will.

When Jake sees Nic next in school, he should think about handing him a bag with copies of his shampoo, soap and deodorant, so Nic can start smelling like him. When Jake comes over his presence will not be noticed by anyone else--like Luke-- seeing Nic. Jake will hope Nic who is stuck in his quarters and must be horny will want him to visit secretly. Can Jake entice Nic by saying he passed his blood test?
