Like Zdain, I do not trust the overly inquisitive Martha. She wants to know more and is not acting as a neutral intermediary. Is she a person to trust after her many questions ?Is she even who see says she is or maybe is she is a person who will turn them into the Shaddow Cross in ths town? She might need money. This is not a comfortable place. Have they revealed too much to make them a target. Jolanda is in town. Josel in very trusting. Zdain seeks to not be overheard. He is worried they are being spied upon in their room. However, he and Josel will leave this night and they both will go north. Josel realizes they should stick together. They are acting with concern. If they are being set-up, are they acting in time before the trap is sprung? We might find out very soon. They could have left signs along the way in the town so the enemy will come seeking them. They are getting on each other's nerves , but you can sense they have a possibility of becoming good friends after surviving mutual dangers.

These two really fit well together in a variety of situations. They are willing to meet new people and try new things. What was not fun with hs girlfriend is enjoyable now for Keith. They play tourist and find joy in exploring and learning. Music lifts them up and gives them pleasure. They trying to learn how to cook. What a useful skill for this happy couple!

Simon is stressed and tested and re-tested. He needs new ways of thinking not being held back by his old worries and preconceptions. Simon is being prepared, if he learns it well, to succeed as the seeded one in real life and carry out his destiny.He trainer/leader rabbit ia not giving up on him. This is so surreal amd shocking. Simon could be a force to take on his real enemies . Will he grow into his potential?

A tear welled up in Brohm’s eye, threatening to fall. “Gods, I’m gonna miss you.” He grabbed Nathan’s jerkin and pulled him close for a kiss. It was slow and deliberate. Full of passion. “I love you,” Brohm whispered in his ear. “I’ll always love you.” Nathan held him tight. “I love you, too, big guy.” A sad, well told love story

Andrew has a very loving family His dad upped the danger and thing could go dangerous fast. Andrew was told to come alone. His dad said he will go with him Is somebody going to get shot?

They both had an enjoyable time--having a non-drug fueled sex three way effort with Ercole and seeing more sites. Vaughn still hasn't got a good angle on the Scarpa exhibit. It was not a gem. There is more going on underneathe the scence that the two are not read into. Will they find out more when they see Heyward?

Amazing--every problem was resolved favorably Ed amd Johnny became a real couple and movedinto johnny's former home. Ed became an oncologist and Johnny a succesful conventional writer. Life is good for them. Ed surprisingly met his sister and hate filled dad as cancer patient with diseased kidney's. He generously forgave his father and donated a kidney to him. His father comletely changen and thanked his son.His sister got a library job and found the right man. They are going to be married. This is a fairy tale like story at this point.

Tickles all around. So many happy guys. The two new Native american students connected so easily and enjoyed tickling each other. This was a great chapter to read.

The stage is almost set for the demon to return to his world. Rabiah is finishing the circles and symbols. Cormac joined them to be a required sacrifice. He wants to atone for the death he caused and to end the gobling killings I hope the process works and the demon is sent back. We have three other big problems/issues. Is the demon as good as he suggests or is he going to double cross the humans? Is Rabiah really going to give the book up and not try other rituals? Nathan still has no solution to his gobling bites. He is going to die painfully.

Keith and Thomas really are fitting well together in a variety of situations. Keith talk was a success and they both learned more about the artist in question. Keith earned kudos from Isobel who is funding the restoration. They seemed to bond around food and are desiring to cook more together. Good! The running scene was fabulous, They learned they were both out of shape and more so than they expected. It is definitely time to improve. It was glad to find out they had time for sex.These two are a charming,likable couple.

George solved two critical issues His male and female lovers became aquainted personally and the participated in a threesome. He hopes they will get along and not be rivals.George lucky to have Winkler to help him assauge his new female lover/opera singer Then , George took his concerns at being isolated to the princess. She balked and he threatened exposing her. She stated she intended to marry Calvert when she turned 25. The Queen will not like it. I am sure her royal husband is already being scouted. The King making Calvert a knight was well received and advanced his place in society. The princess apologized to George and wanted them to meeet again on friendly terms. They will share Calvert. Things are working out so well for George and his inner circle.

Matt received wise advice from Dante his street smart, experienced captor . Jump when you can.Trust no one. You will be used up and thown away. Matt is going to survive. Meanwhile, Andrew is surrounded by people who care for him. He is unprepared for the world he is going to enter. It is very dangerous.

Things are going to change fast. Johnny is going to be truthful--finally. The home he grew up in will shock Ed. But, Clay told Johnny to take him to his home. He seems to have read Ed and them together and felt this was the right move/ I hope Ed can understand why Johnny kept his background secret--to find the right man. However he could reject Johnny's opening statements and run away and not give him a chance to explain. This is a real test of their love. If he stays , I hope he demands no more lies. We will see soon.

Well, the visit to see the intended collection was a disaster. The later works were unimpressive and seemed to be mass produced big busted women. The chance visit to a bank collection was a highlight and contained marvelous works. The saw a work similar to one Heyward had. The expert hoped they would somehow get a related one from him--hmm. A loan or collateral for a loan done under the radar by Heyward? Sounds pushing the edge of legality. Vaughn still needs an angle to sell his story to a publisher or his later access wil be ended

Natahn and Brohm followed the librarian. Nathan took the key from him when he was asleep [n his home and returned it later . Rabiah secured the book to help her return the demon. Both men worried that they coud not trust her. They know the demon would not be forgiving, if he was deceived. I think the lady scholar better be acting in good faith for her health. Brohm has noticed Nathan's arm was bothering him. They need to speak the truth when the demon is sent back. The goblings are out in greater numbers killing people. The demon needs to be sent back soon.

Good for Johnnny. He met Bo and he gave him a good blow job. Now, Bo wants to suck him off. Johnny is having a good intro to gay sex. He will be more at ease going to Harvard now. Johnny kept his identity hidden. Will they meet later ?

I hope the big boss does want to meet Andrew in order to have him killed and end any investigation.Andrew is on a long trek and no one at home knows where he is. He could be "disappeared" easily if the big boss wants him to end his life and feels threatened by his efforts.

Kage was an important figure in a great story called Shadow Effect by kbois who is the editor and maybe influencer on plot of this story. Kage was killed off in a surprise move under direction by the head evil guy. His death shocked the readers. He was the love interest of a main figure. We will see what happens.

Josel and Zdain made it to the city . They took their time visiting merchants and stalls. Josel was very upset at seeing animals caged and a supposed gobling tortured before being sold. He was amused by relics and a picture was taken. Josel was mad a Zdain for not being indignant to the creatures being sold. So much for keeping a low profile. They must have been noticed and anyone looking for them will have evidence. I hope they find the home they seek soon without any further problems.

Matt taken along the next step in the process is told he is being sold to a guy who choses him. The buyer is unnown as of now. He is put on a mattress with 4 other guys to sleep . He fate is in the air. He is going to be a sex slave with no choice in the matter. Andrew receives instructions to help meet a guy who is involved in the sex trade. It is very dangerous and he is concerned. He wants the story and is controlling his fears. He is also gay so he has some definite interests in the male sex trade. I wonder why the head of the sex business is willing talk to Andrew. Will will find out soon and it maybe what keeps Andrew safe.

A sad misunderstanding--Thomas was so focused on his event that he did not warn Keith about his amorous ex--Things festered Luckily, they finally talked and the tough event and lack of support and not letting the ex stay over became news with both being relieved A tough scene was avoided and both again realized they needed to be upfront and talk when issues/worries/ unknown new things arise
