Closing The applause for big and hairy Larry’s lengthy topping of the muscled and smooth red-headed Vance was quite strong, especially for the size of the audience, which was about 50 at most including the servers and other staff at Trevor’s. The emcee soon appeared from the darkness to embrace the naked actors. Still wearing only a leather pouch over his goods, I found myself having to struggle to look away from the older man’s amazing hairy chest and belly. “My, my, wasn’t that exc

Simply a gorgeous wedding -- in decorations, yes, but also in content. Whoever (Josh?) wrote the script for it is fantastic!

Things are really hopping now! My favorite suspect at this point is the lady detective -- Hammet, is it? She was absent a lot, which is just generally suspicious. She's a she. There definitely seems to be a coverup going on and led by the Homicide Detectives -- two likely murders called suicides. I'm loving the slightly crazy banter that is always going on with this Murder Club. Robbie should not stay at home tonight!

Me, too. During the auction, it ran through my mind that the ultimate romantic gesture would be for Aiden to buy the frog. I had forgotten by the time it showed up on the living room wall. If Will turns Aiden down, may I have him?

Great rant, @Geron Kees!

Your comparison of Vance with Joey Stefano is very good, @Summerabbacat. You have a keen eye for connections.

Intermission Before Alan and Pedro’s ovation ended, Trevor stepped in from the darkness. He moved into the space between his new stars, placed a hand gently on each of their backs, and smiled broadly at his guests. I couldn’t help but notice the sexiness of the host even though he was the only one in the spotlight with any clothes on. I wanted to study Pedro’s lengthy shaft and Alan’s more normal and beautiful penis but my eyes kept being pulled to Trevor’s hot chest crisscrossed with th

Just as everyone has said, this is a very powerful chapter. My guess is that the conversation with Joey on the fire escape (wonderfully rendered) and the aftermath with his father is the key turning point in Will's life. He's not a naive kid anymore. He's not bound to the oppressive religion or family. He's going to be forced to try something new to earn a living -- modeling? painting? something else? And he has learned that he has 2 true friends in the world -- Laura and Aiden. Undoubtedly Joey's demise will be caused in some way by his toxic personality. I can't wait to get to the remaining chapters! Thanks, Josh!

As @Philippe says, the discussion on the Bible and homosexuality is really great. As a recovering Baptist and late bloomer, I spent several years in that space of reconciling what I felt I experienced with/from God with the narrow interpretations and teachings I was getting in the religious world. Once you break free from those shackles, life gets really good really fast. I hope this will be Will's experience, too. I'm a Will and Aiden shipper -- Waiden? Great work, @Josh Aterovis!

What a fascinating discussion we've been having here! I joined the party a few months late, but it is all great stuff. I feel like I've been at a wonderful cocktail party at @Josh Aterovis's house in Baltimore (or Balimur, as a local might say). I'm also a recovering Southern Baptist and could talk all night about that BS. But it's late at my house and my bed is calling out. Good night! I'll be back soon.

Hey Al, Thanks for sharing this deep historical relationship with us in this safe space. Part of me is sad that your friend couldn't share his feelings with you but most of me feels he probably rightly understood it just wasn't in the cards. I had a terrible crush on my college roommate but I loved our friendship so much I just could not risk messing it up by sharing my truth with him. He went on to marriage, kids, divorce, remarriage, etc. I don't think he would have rejected me if I'd been honest about loving him, but I think it would have interfered with our closeness. One of the terrible things about such situations is you can never be 100% sure how your friend will react. Josh, I am also intrigued with your characters. If Will doesn't end up with Aidan, can I have Aidan?

Josh, I'm a big fan of Bleeding Hearts and am excited to follow Killian and Will and whoever else you bring along on this new adventure. You've got my attention. After a dream like Will's, I'd be calling a counselor, too! Let 'er role! Ken

Entertainment at the Bacchanal Jack, Javier, Darrel, and I tried to be sure all the guests had fresh drinks before the first act of the entertainment began a couple of minutes after 9:00. Everything started when some floodlights were turned on. They were focused on a section of the deck beside the pool and next to the hot tub with seating for 10. The lighted section of the deck had some interesting furnishings. There was a very sturdy-appearing table that looked about 6-feet square and

Dinner Break Shortly after 6:00, the soon-to-be high school graduate Jack, the hunky married construction worker Javier, the tall ebony stud Darrel, and I were seated at the breakfast table in a nook beside the outdoor patio where we could keep an eye on our colleagues Alan, Pedro, Larry, and Vance as they took over serving the guests while we ate dinner. Our dinner was carefully selected to be “light” but nutritious by Samuel, Billy’s husband and tonight’s chef. Samuel turned out to

Just Before the Party Alan and I were the third vehicle in line at the end of Trevor’s driveway on Monday at around 3:20 p.m. We each grabbed our duffle bag and started up the drive as a cherry-red electric Mustang pulled into place behind us. I was pleased to see Brady behind the wheel. While we were waiting for him, a 2-year-old Jeep Wrangler screeched into place behind Brady. The hot wrestler, Vance, got out with his duffle to join us. The four of us walked up the driveway towards t
