November 24, 2003 Fairmount Chateau Hotel Whistler, Canada Will “Dude, today was the bomb,” I said to Zach excitedly. We’d gotten up here to Whistler on Saturday and had spent the weekend mostly snowboarding and or skiing, and fucking. “No shit,” he agreed a bit nervously. He’d been on edge this weekend, and I wasn’t sure why, but I had kind of assumed that sequestered away in Canada with me and my family, he’d mellow out. If anything, he seemed to ge

Most of you are musing "who wouldn't want a young Australian?" Well I need his brain, not his body. The next CAP story has some chapters set in Sydney and environs in 2004. I'm looking for someone who can help out this Seppo with his pathetic attempts at Aussie dialog. Basically all I need that person to do is read the chapters and offer suggestions as to how a real Australian 20-something would have spoken (in 2004). If you've got the time and inclination, PM me, post here, or email me at markarbour2000@yahoo.com.

I think that open sexual relationships can work for some people. For others, it's a deal killer. Later in the CAP Series, we see Stefan and JP doing fine with an open relationship, but we also see it tear Brad and Robbie apart.

February 5, 1801 Kiryanovo Usadba St. Petersburg, Russia “I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a supper more,” Daventry said. They had focused on enjoying the food and drink in front of them, getting just to the edge of drunkenness. A relatively somber beginning had given way to a much more fun meal, as conversation had flowed in a relaxed way that normally didn’t occur when all six men were together. Granger cynically wondered if the Last Supper had a similar feel to it.

Epilogue - Chapter 10-Final Chapter
Mark Arbour commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Epilogue - Chapter 10-Final Chapter
Thank you. I refused to start posting the next one until I have the first five chapters done. I just finished Chapter 4, so hopefully not too long. -
Another interesting character arriving in the next chapter. 😀

February 4, 1801 Kiryanovo Usadba St. Petersburg, Russia “My lord, there is a lady to see you,” Winkler said. Granger was at the desk in the library writing a letter to Bertie, and so immersed in his effort was he that Winkler’s interruption surprised him. He forced his mind away from his literary efforts. “A lady?” Granger asked curiously. “Yes, my lord,” he said, and handed Granger her calling card. Granger was worried it would be in Russian, and he had not be

Daventry and von Beckendorf's sister, who is all of 15? Shit, I'd probably get censored off this site. 🙂

February 1, 1801 Kiryanovo Usadba St. Petersburg, Russia Granger stretched out in his bed, feeling languorous after having spent his evening last night talking to Daventry. He’d gotten to bed very late, but had been drunk and horny enough to wake von Beckendorf up and fuck him. While he’d been as much fun as he always was, Granger had not had a chance to spend any time with von Beckendorf this morning, and that worried him, lest the young man feel neglected. That worry caus

Northern Exposure January 31, 1801 Krasnoye Selo, Russia Granger looked out the window of his room and gazed at the Trinity Church. It was a very pleasing structure, done in baroque style and painted a light-yellow color, and looked as if it could quite easily be German but for the small onion dome on the spire that topped its rotunda. They had arrived here two days ago, and had been welcomed by the local priest, or whatever such a chap was called in the Orthodox Chur

October 12, 2003 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Brad It was quite the unusual crowd at dinner this Sunday. I briefly scanned those present, noting that there was almost an apprehensive feeling. I felt the need to try and fix that problem, but since JP was the host, it fell to him to set the tone. My eyes moved past Will and Darius, both so well turned out, and fixed on JP. It was one of those surreal times when we communicated with just our eyes, with him giving me the slighte

Dammit!😀. Thanks for the info. I won’t make that mistake again

I thought Woolwich was on the north bank. I could be wrong (and I hate that). 🙂

October 12, 2003 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Brad “This has been a wonderful weekend,” Beverly said, as she took a drink of her cocktail. “I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed yourself,” I said. “I was pretty nervous at first, but I’m really glad that you and your sons are now part of our life.” “Speaking of sons, Will and Colin got back about an hour ago,” Mike said. “I think they are in the process of getting ready.” “Did Chris have fun last night?” I asked, wonde

January 18, 1801 Hermann Castle Narva, Governate of Estonia “This journey has been much easier than I thought it would be, my lord,” Winkler said as he trimmed Granger’s hair. “Indeed,” Granger agreed. With the vozok, it had been almost pleasant. They had traveled each day from dawn until they reached their next stopping point, which was usually a nice manor house, a castle, or a palace. It was obvious that von Beckendorf and his relatives had traveled this roa

I try to target every two weeks, but I don't always meet that deadline. That's especially true when I'm in a part of the story that requires a lot of research. The next chapter is in editing now, though, so it shouldn't be too long.

It was in this story, Chapter 26. I don't think he was that much smoother this time around. He hasn't quite acquired that art yet.

October 12, 2003 Bristol, CT JJ I almost chuckled to myself since it was close to midnight and here we were, lying in bed after yet another awesome fuck, just like we’d been this morning. Just like then, I was on a high, but tonight Carullo seemed even more uptight. And people thought I was moody. “What’s bothering you?” I asked. He gave me an odd look, as if to question whether I actually wanted to hear him tell me, but I glared at him and he relented. I mean, I didn’t rea

Thanks so much!

That approach rarely works on a very bright and independent minded boy, although this difference of opinion is central to this story.

Thank you so much! I did more research on this story than any other CAP book, primarily because I knew that this was such a pivotal event in many people's lives and I didn't want to get it wrong.

Some of you may have noticed a lot of editing activity in "Paternity," and that must seem odd to you since the story posted in 2012-13. I went back and made some minor edits and also put in the standard leader lines for each segment, noting who was narrating, the date, and the place where the action begins. With those in place, I made the font and color uniform. If you are reading this story and find any errors, be sure to let me know with a comment.
