Naked, or not naked, that is the question! Yes, it always comes back to master Shakespeare! I'm wandering, their need to discuss this issue around with friends - is it some sort of therapy for them?! 😜

Difficult decisions - carrier building, continuing the fight as the commander of the new unit... or staying together with the one they love and newfound family, with the limited time they have together? Wonderful ending to amazing story! Now I have to think of nice Review! Bravo @empath👏👏👏

Me too! THANK YOU!

I've been mesmerized by Gone with the Wind scene. And all the f*ck, sorry dear, but how can a guy think clearly after that recliner sex?!? Blood is not in the bigger head! 😂

My first impression...well, after the obvious one I've commented with gif above ... is that Roman didn't say so many "I'm sorry" and "Perdoname" for his entire life. In Roman's language it means more than 'I love you' word! 😉 Love ... maybe too early to speak about that but feelings are there, it's obvious! (well, maybe just for author and readers for now ). For the second time Max has a Scarlett O'Hara scene, while Roman is taking him in his arms (ok, first time he was drunk and singing that funny song). Well, in all that lust and passion, isn't it magnificent for a southern gentleman to have his Gone with the wind moment. Funny thing, every time they draw lines of kinkiness with water sports, my naughty mind thinks that golden showers might be exactly what Roman needs to treat his OCD! 😂 @JJQuinn, I'm sooo impatient to see 'wake up'! Why do I feel Tara might have the pleasure of running into...

Magnificent finale of the chapter in The Shawshank Redemption closing scene style! This chapter brings two opposite emotions. First is about boys and Nate. The optimism and joy of reunion, witty banter between boys -That's like the incest triathlon! Nate is alive and that is something I wasn't sure about till the end of the chapter. You left their future open to many speculations and I'm impatiently waiting the final chapter. @349bdr might even get his wish about threesome fulfilled! The second is Enzo's story! If Nate is the (anti)hero, Enzo is the tragic hero. I know I'm repeating myself, but this is not the first time @CasualWanderer82 you write characters worth of the Antient Greek tragedy. His suicide didn't bring tears to my eyes, it has brought a shock of some deep sadness! I don't want it to sound as blasphemy, but there is something rooted in religion, we could see in Enzo's sacrifice, like he was taking off Nate's and his own debit with his own life. And not just their own pain, but the pain of all 'not good enough' sons and all unrequited loves of the world. "There's only one thing in this entire fucking world that could make Nate go against my father." The same was for Enzo! "My loyalty is with him," What a writing my friend!

Oh, I want to see Joshua's confrontation with his parents!

Who's Amanda? Carlos' older sister maybe?! What a bitch! Really?! Carlos are you moron or what?! What did he think, marry Natalie and have Gael for a dirty little secret?! This wedding planning is really humiliating... What's next, cooling them with a fen during the first wedding night?! 🤪

LOL, Ben has a powerful crew! If we don't count the Almighty himself, you can add Roman and officer Whelan to the list! 🤣😂

But Sam doesn't want his dog tags back, he wants Ben back! Sometimes "I'm sorry" is not enough... Sam has to prove that he'll not run away every time it gets hard. He has to deal with PTSD and show Ben they are together for better or worse. They'll come around... just keep reading! 😉

WOW, so the drama starts!!! So, Carlos is a wuss!!! He was lying both Natalie and Gael! All those excuses, since he has said 'It's complicated'?!?!?! 🤮 Gael has to get out of that house asap! It's toxic and dangerous place!

LOL ... like a kid - moon him and run out! 😂 I've enjoyed this chapter immensely! What a fun, date with Matt and... whatever with Vince!!! 🤣

Adoptions - as wonderful conclusion to a wonderful story! I expect more adoptions to happen in the future - my thought goes to Billy and his wife... Hope that Mario and Juan reconcile. As Ben has said - You are both good man! But... Judge and Prosecutor!!!! That was charming surprise! And then @empath, you say I'm thinking of Hollywood plots!!! 🤣 I'm eagerly waiting epilogue but future stories about our heroes too!

Monday was fun!

In a way, James was Jonah's only connection to the previous life. That makes this breakup even harder, as it is definite goodbye to a childhood that doesn't exist anymore. Nevertheless, James has made a reasonable decision, pointing that they have to make their lives move on. Jonah's new family is here for support, Will is here... but there are many challenges waiting him in A Life Worth Living!

Twist?! Is it? Does it really matter is Caleb Nate's biological son or stepbrother? Since the beginning of the story, it is noticeable absence of any women in Nate's life (except for his mother). So, I already thought that he is a single father for a long time, rescuing Caleb as orphan or Caleb being a one-night stand result. Scene in club - Caleb punching one of the guys and Ryan's reaction - actually recognizing Nate's energy in Caleb's punches... might be prove of shared DNA, but it could also be a misleading, something that @CasualWanderer82 likes to do to his readers! Coming from dysfunctional family, Nate could not establish a functional one. His marriage to Jenna was not union between man and woman in love, it was Nate on mission of Saving Private Ryan! Finding a baby was moment of fate in Nate's life. Hope he feels! The world shifted beneath him completely! I believe we are closer to the answer from the previous chapter - Who is Nathaniel? He's dark and rough Peter Pan whose destiny has become saving the lost boys. He is their protector and father - he is their family. But here we come to the conflict of loyalty. Can one be the loyal soldier of the mafia, and loyal protector of his son at the same time. What happens when he has to choose... happens the Men Up story. Nate has chosen his boy as Enzo has, eventually, chosen his boy too - Nate is Enzo's boy! "This life," Salvatore continued evenly as if nothing had interrupted him, "is about debts, boy…" He let the words hang heavy between them long enough before finishing quietly. "…and the debt always comes due." Will Nate and Enzo have to pay off their debt so Caleb and Ryan could find a peace in Mexico? Actually, writing this final sentence, it came to me that Nate might be already dead and, after giving to the boys their final instructions, with one bullet in the gun, Enzo is waiting to join the Nate on their final journey ...

Maybe I wasn't clear... my English knowledge betrays me occasionally! 😜 I thought, if Neil would be bi, he could be with Sammy (supposing she is straight)!

Sammy is the only reason I would like if Neil would be at least bi! Amazing character!

I'm glad to hear Amad might be back! Lol, forgot how different Gordon and Brian are from your other characters @Robert Hugill - free spirited, open to sexual encounters and experimenting. Their connection with Russ is special and they are functioning great together. Hehe, make me think that those guys might help Ryan spread more his...views!

As I say from the start about Owen and co. - wusses! Not justifying Lucas' behavior but, there is at least explanation for it - he's a victim of rape and molesting (btw, I think he has escaped his uncle and grandmother - hope police will find out about abuse before returning him to hell). These scars on the soul might be treated (successfully or not) but cowardness is inoperable! Neil's new living arrangement with his father and Dwight is as good as therapy! Finally, he is surrounded by people who understand him and are able to help. Btw, we haven't heard from Alex for some time... 🤔

As much as I LOVE @CasualWanderer82's smut writing, this threesome might be a challenge to write as I don't know who would do what! No doubt there is love but, their relationships are so different! It would have to be something completely new in their dynamics! Then again, they are not the same persons they were at the beginning so... Nevertheless, @CasualWanderer82 never ceases to surprise me! 😉

Every decision has its consequences! Michael has paid for his deeds but deciding not to make any contact with him, Sarah and children condemned themself to question that decision over and over again. There is no point visiting the gravesite now. Unfortunately, nobody got the peace they needed!

You want a Vince to have a stroke! 😜

So, Mac Philpott was like emperor from "The Emperor's New Clothes" tale! When Graham in his interview finally said, "the emperor has no clothes", the others started to see that famous local humanitarian and benefactor was not exactly a saint!

Who are you, Nathaniel?! I'm wondering (wondering wonderer ) ... did Nathe kill his father... and then has made killing a business... But not just as 'any' assassin, more like murderer of bullies, molesters... I suppose next chapter will relieve the answers, still, it is interesting to imagine Nate as a knight! The bottle of whiskey might help to swallow the news, but I don't think there is anything that can break the boys anymore. There's still to see is Uncle Enzo's role only as a messenger or there is something more. Ah, and then... there's the love making! In one moment, I was thinking that Caleb, while taking over the dominant role, is going to be on top. Not that roles are particularly important in their sexual dynamics, I just thought, Ryan needs to surrender more than Caleb! While Nate gave him rough, animalistic painkilling penetration, Caleb should give him tender, emotional, sensual loving penetration! Unlike the boys who are still trying to find a daddy, somewhere along their journey, I, as a reader, started to think more of their future than finding Nate. Therefore, Enzo giving them money and documents is important for the fresh start. Some closure with Nate is important for the boys but, does it mean 'finding' him in person or making peace with what he was to them and who he really is, without actual encounter?
