Ahh, that can only mean one thing: that I'll never manage to make you like Klaus :)) But I still hope that you'll enjoy the story, even if you don't like the man. As for Jake's parents and what happened to them, it will all be revealed at the right moment. Then you'll see which theory was correct. Thanks a lot for commenting!

Oh, so sorry about the confusion. No, no, no, you're not the one in the wrong here. What I meant to say was that he confessed those things to his girlfriend after he got out and got together with his gang (Diaz's gang, actually). As long as you read it that way, it means that I was not clear enough. Jake's secret will be revealed at some point. I have it all planned out As usual, thanks a lot, Lisa, for taking the time to read and comment! Your words keep me going

Hey there! Thanks a lot for the kind words! There will be more on Diaz as the story progresses, so I hope some of your questions will be answered. As for Jake being too naive ... yeah, I think I might have overdone it a little. Klaus, a virtuoso? I could not have put it better myself. And I have a little feeling you're reading a little into the future

He, he, I think you're not the only one who thinks that right now. Thanks a lot, Wesley, for commenting as usual!

Chapter Ten “What the fuck do I do now?” Jake whispered, mostly to himself. Klaus knew what. No matter how absurd Jake’s reaction seemed, he could understand it. He walked to the closet and handed Jack a change of clothes. Since he was planning to keep the boy in his room overnight, he had had Agnes to move some of Jake’s clothes to his closet. “Here. Dress up,” he ordered shortly, and Jake obeyed with brisk moves. “Go throw some cold water on your face, brush your teeth, and cal

Hey, Lisa! Glad to see you enjoyed the chapter. Your thoughts on Klaus are (as always), spot on. After all, the guy needs someone to shake him up a little And I'm pretty certain he has a heart tucked inside somewhere. As for Jake, my baby does deserve all the love :)) Hugs, Laura.

Wiser words have never been spoken ...

Thank you! I hope you will like what comes next, too.

Diaz's reasons will be revealed right away And I think everyone will be interested to lewrn more about his character in the following chapters. I am so grateful that you found the smut scene hot. It can be a bit challenging to keep things fresh. As for the next chappie, it's in the works. And I hope you will love it. Until next time, Hugs and kisses.

Everything you are saying here is spot on. I want characters to progress through the story, and that means changing their perspective on things. And Jake throwing the chastity cage? Yes! I wanted to be a victory for him. Thanks a lot for noticing it!

Yes! That's the kind of comment I was hoping to read. Everything is spot on, from what you said about Hans, and the shared history with Klaus (it will all be revealed at some point), to Jake's inexperience and Klaus's chances. Loves, loves, loves back.

That was exactly what I was aiming for! So glad to see you liking it. I was myself chuckling when writing that scene. And I wanted to show Jake as more than just a sexy guy from the streets. Your comment proves to me I managed to get the point across. So many thanks!

And, eh, another (sigh) premonition relation to the tiny dots in my outline (but you'll see what I mean when I'll get there with the story). As for that demonstration you are talking about, he, he, not far from that

He, he, glad you liked the bruises comment :)) You prove to be quite insightful about certain events that will take place in the future and that are, at this moment, just a dot and line in the outline I drew for this story. And I quite like your stance on Hans. After all, he is just a guy, too. Jake being too petulant ... I think you're not the only commenter who mentioned Jake's petulance getting a bit annoying. I think I unconsciously aimed for that. (At least that's what authors would say after reading comments, he, he, he) Thanks a lot for your interesting comment!

Interesting thing you tell me about your line of work. I like to believe that I will be convincing enough, as the author, when Jake's motivations will be revealed. Yes, it is unnerving to see someone doing that, especially a young person. And, while in some people, it may be an attempt to manipulate, what I can do, without giving away spoilers, is to tell you that in Jake's case it is genuine. Ah, and sorry about the choppy pace. Sometimes ideas come running and start to compete against one another. So, I am afraid it will not be the only time when this happens.

First things first, thank you for your appreciation. Diaz will have a place in the story, and play his part, albeit he will still be a secondary character. I am pleased to see that you find the characters developing at the right pace since they're all my babies and I love them. And, seeing that you lived through chappie number two without getting bored, that's pretty swell. Now, onto the next

Well, hello there I see you commented on every single chapter, which is pretty amazing, and there are many insightful things mentioned in your comments, so I need to reply to each one, to cover all the bases. I am so glad that you found the pacing good, it's not always my strong point. And the fact that I got you hooked ... That really makes me happy. It's not always easy to capture people's interest right from the start. Off to the next comment now.

Very nice of you :))

As someone said at some point in the comments, Diaz has his own agenda. So, that being said, I believe everyone will find the next chapter interesting as far as the interactions between the main players are concerned. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! And I am so glad to see that you remembered that Diaz didn't care about seeing Jake, up until now. As the author, I like to think that small details like these count. Until next time, Hugs.

Thanks Wesley for being as prompt as always! Yes, I hope the new chapter will open some new doors

No worries, There will be a totally different matter on the table (and let's just say this is not a spoiler)

Chapter Nine Two blowjobs in one single fucking morning! Jake felt like floating as he was now all dressed up and ready to accompany Klaus to one of the construction sites to which the guy had promised to take him. And what was pretty amazing, and a bit unnerving at the same time, was how casual Klaus’s featherlike touch on his should was. The man was just guiding him around, and it felt so familiar that Jake was starting to wonder about moronic things like whether he had met Klaus Metzger

Ah, no, it's not that, although you're not far from the truth, in a way. I read Lord of the Flies (haven't seen any of the movies). It was, however, The Coral Island, which, if I understood correctly, served as the inspiration for Golding's novel. A bit of an upside down inspiration, because the boys in The Coral Island do not go through the same moral deprecation as the protagonists in Lord of the Flies, and, by the comments I read, Golding wanted to prove the exact opposite and reveal the darkness of the human nature, and not sustain the politeness and good manners instilled by the civilization that Ballantyne's story was built upon.

Well, it definitely did. Someone told me that the story I am currently publishing here on GA is just like Beauty and the Beast, and when I looked, I was like damn, it really does. Also, it did happen to me, while writing a story (that is far from being over, and I'm not sure it will be made public anytime soon) about a group of young men on a deserted island, to read an 18th (or was it 19th?) century novel about a similar situation. And, while the situation of having a group of young men on an island is too vague and it can be repeated without being considered plagiarism, I did read a certain scene in the 18th century book, that rang exactly like a scene I wrote. It was one of the characters saying that he was knowledgeable of certain things on the island because he read a lot and the others' reaction to that was exactly like how I wrote the scene in my little literary endeavor, too. I have to say that I am quite certain I had not read that book before, and it was pretty weird to find the same thing I thought that could not have existed before I wrote it. Yeap, weird, weird, weird. I just don't have an explanation for this kind of things.

Thanks a lot! I hope you will continue to enjoy it
