Yaaayyy.

Colin and Charlie wouldn’t have lasted if they got together when Charles was still a man whore; It was good that Charlie took the unplanned sabbatical from sex, it was time for him to grow up anyway. Colin can believe Charles really loves him because he saw the changes in him and recognized them as sincere; He also knows Charles was into Colin and not “Stanley-Colin-Fucking-Clarke the Third!” I know there are many triangles and quadrangles out there-best friends in love with each other but coupled up with other people because they are afraid to take a chance on something more, leaving significant other always a liiiittttllleee bit jealous of that BFF. I’m glad it didn’t work out that way for Charles and Colin and Jesse too, even if he wasn’t the one for Colin, he deserves more. I hope there is still a little more left to the story.

Hmmm, is Mark Alex? Whomever he is or isn’t, Aron and Alex need to be free of this emotionally stifling relationship and Aron and Carter need to become friends again, at least....

Methinks Aron was not totally happy with Alex the diva. I hope Carter puts ten pounds on his body, 😂.

Okay, I’m late in starting this story, which winds up being okay because there’re more chapters for me to read. The premise is interesting, Laura. I’m looking forward to how this will “straighten” Carter out, 😊. Looking forward to the hot sex I know you’ll have them having, too. 🔥💥

Well, alrighty then. The 5 year move could be a legitimate excuse to break up but not in a relationship like Colin and Jesse had (or apparently had). It feels like Jesse felt there were three people in his relationship with Colin and he took this as a chance to walk away before he got more hurt or dumped. I do think Colin and Charles were too close with Colin being in a committed relationship but Jesse should have clearly conveyed how Colin & Charles’ closeness bothered him. Guess this was the flaw that makes Jesse less than perfect. It wouldn’t surprise me if Colin winds up hearing that Jesse has already moved on. Something about all of this bothers me, it didn’t feel like an organic way for C & J’s relationship to end. It’s obvious Colin and Charles have feelings for each other but I’m waiting to see how Colin’s reveal about who he really is affects Charles.

It’s like Troy pointed out, Adam would’ve never did what Kyle did even if they had been in the same circumstances. Adam didn’t realize standing up to his father and taking those beatings was a sign of strength, he could’ve given in to keep the peace but didn’t. Adam has a backbone, where Kyle doesn’t.

The “love” I gave this chapter was for Adam’s response to the minister. 🐑 🕊 Adam & Troy’s meeting with Kyle was sad. Parents truly need to understand the impact they have on a child, preferably before they have them; Sadly everyone’s motives for having children aren’t always about being a loving parent, even those who try may have unresolved emotional baggage of their own that they pass on to their children. It is a difficult challenge to overcome being provided an unstable foundation but it is possible if you recognize it and decide you want to change; With that said, Kyle still made his own choice on how to deal with his closeted feelings and has to pay for it. A revelatory chapter about choices and their impact.

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyy❣️❣️ “You’re not… going to lose… your job, Brady,”....Yeah, I think that’s pretty safe to say😂 Are they done fighting their feelings now or do you have something else up your sleeve?

I was Team Jesse before but I’m starting to become split; Before I didn’t see the couple vibe between Colin and Charlie but now I am. I was surprised when I realized Colin was being so detailed about his relationship with Jesse. Unless Jesse shows a very big character flaw, it’s still going to be tough to choose. I’m also curious about Charlie’s reaction when he realizes who Colin really is.

This version includes a breakdown of both perspectives that I don’t think was included in the Nifty version (Jackson’s think thru in the limo). It was crucial to justify Jackson’s choice in giving Carter another chance. Jackson is way cool, so mature for his age, weighing the good and the bad fairly. The title may be “How I got Carter” but it’s Carter who’s the lucky one to get Jackson. I’d love to read a follow up of Jackson, Carter and the crew, it doesn’t have to be long and the romantic in me hopes this is a relationship that they can be in as adults. I thank you Roe, for this story. Tho this was a boy/boy story, I as a girl was transported back to high school in Jackson’s shoes. I’ve rarely read a story that universally captured the torture of high school romance so well. 👏

I like how Jesse is as inexperienced a hunk as Colin, actually more so, since Colin is not a virgin to man/man intercourse. They really do seem perfectly suited to each other; Mom did a great job in setting Colin up. I like Charles but I’m not sure I like him for Colin, yet. While it looks like Charles is willing to be a one guy man for Colin, I’m not sure he’s emotionally ready for that yet; Then there is the aforementioned “baggage”....

What a wonderful story you have going on here. While Colin and Jesse seem like the perfect couple, there is definitely rooting value for Colin and Charles, too. This triangle is developing in expected and unexpected ways. I am hooked.

Their past prevents the possibility of a calm, civilized conversation, even 20 years later. I think it has to go down the way it is between them, especially on Ember’s part; It would be impossible for Ember to accept that all he’s probably been looking for in a romantic relationship exists in the one person who tormented him in high school. That kind of upheaval to his foundation has to come with aftershocks that we are lucky enough to witness. 😊

Yes!! The preview before the main event. I like that Mr. Pompous Put You To Sleep was the one who made the assumption of Brady and Ember being involved. Ember might not have wanted him with Brady but he seems more in control of himself than to scare anybody off, then again Ember isn’t acting like himself. As Aaron pointed out, some roads to happily ever after are filled with fiery, passionate interactions before submission. 🤨 It’s. About. To. Go. Down. I reckon better than either have ever had before-to that end, when Ember finds out Brady was untouched before him, best believe and understand he’ll make sure Brady isn’t touched by anyone else ever again.🔥☄️💥 👏 Well done.

Essential.

This so encapsulates the desire and anxiety felt when you want to do something for yourself but feel wrong for not spending all your time with your child. Mentally, you know that you need to take care of yourself in order to best take care of your child but emotionally, it feels like you’re abandoning your baby. A parent’s goal is to raise a happy, healthy, productive member of society, able to stand on their own two feet and eventually take care of others. While It’s easier said than done, A parent needs to recharge their batteries and that needs to include activities separate from your child/children. I enjoy and sympathize with Connor’s struggle and journey.

Why did Beth break up with Carter anyway? I didn’t get it when I read this on Nifty and I’m not getting it rereading it here. She’s always been painted as miserable and they have an awful sex life; It didn’t make sense to me that she would walk away from him-maybe you’ll explain in the sequel? (*asking ever so hopefully*)

Sometimes your family is who you’re related to by heart, not by blood. Adam will be better off without his mom but there will always be a wound knowing you are rejected by the people who gave you life. I hope he doesn’t go to the funeral.

Did Darren eventually get help or will he be looking over his shoulder jumping at everything now? In trying to stop Christian from ruining his life, Darren ruined his own. I think it was naive of Christian to think that because Darren was gay he wouldn’t cheat-cheating is cheating and it crosses all orientations. I get if Christian was trying to piss Darren off but telling the spouse should never be an empty threat; If he meant it, then he should’ve done it without warning. Threat or not, Christian didn’t deserve Darren’s attack, Darren isn’t innocent in this and it was wrong to take out his anger at Christian (and himself) this way; Crime of passion, indeed. Cheating usually has nothing to do with the person you’re cheating on and based on the description of Christian vs. Darren’s husband, Darren has some issues; I doubt this was his first indiscretion.

Ember is pissed he wants Brady and he wants everyone to know. (even tho he doesn’t know it). Did nothing reeeeaaaaallllyyyy happen last night? 🤨

“They fit so well, so, so well, and their bodies knew each other and he could feel, with each inhale and exhale, why it was so. They belonged together, who knew for what reason, and how the stars aligned on their days of birth or something, but they just did.” When you find the one that makes you feel like that, you will do anything for them. Momo is in, while keeping an eye on the exit sign so he can prepare himself for the end; It doesn’t occur to him it might not. He still doesn’t get that if He Tian knows Mo Guan Shan feels the same way he does, he will move heaven and earth to keep them together. It feels like a big change is coming.... Just wondering, would He Tian ever bottom for Momo?

What a wonderful story. You have a gift for the believable, carnally satisfying, whirlwind romance. (I’m also a fan of “The Cardmaker and the Caretaker”) Will there be another chapter for this anytime soon? I don’t see the “complete” designation on this one.

Ya think?

Fooorrrreeeeplayyyyyy. 🔥🔥 All that repressed passion is gonna lead to an incendiary main event. 🛏 I loved that Ember cold cocked Paul. For someone who isn’t “gay”, Paul needs to take the stick he has out of his ass. Loads of insecurity and rage there; While that makes him dangerous, he’s going to realize Ember isn’t a kid anymore if he persists. Keep the faith, Brady, actions speak louder than words. Ember is fighting a losing battle in his desire for you.
