Mark, thanks for a quick chapter to help deal with the tragedy of losing loved ones. I am glad that the JP is taking the family to Wade's and while everyone there is going to be dealing with the death of various family members I feel that there will be a lot of healing as well. Having all air traffic grounded for a while and then when it did resume, air flight has never been the same. Will isn't going to be able to get to his new house in Hawaii for a while and the "jet setters" will have to deal with ground transportation like the rest of us! Thanks for the story -- it has really made me think as I remember that fateful day.

I still remember 9/11 -- I was teaching a group of teachers how to use some new software and one of them was web surfing (we all know how teachers make the worst students!) and saw something online so we turned on the TV in the computer lab and watched the day unfold, almost as if we couldn't believe that it was really happening. These two chapters brought back a lot of those feelings. Today as I talked to students, 15 to 18 years old, they didn't remember it, but have seen the video of the day almost every year and they asked a lot of questions. Mark, a couple of awesome chapters, thank you!

Thanks for another great installment! Oh the drama, the drama! From the outside looking in, Will is not in a good place, but with JP backing him, he will be alright, but at what costs? Costs not only to Will, but the entire family. Marie is pulling a lot on puppet strings and it appears that a couple of them may be tight enough to break, and when (not if) they do, will Will be man enough to stick by family? She doesn't deserve it, if things play out badly, but she is blood and so far in this story family ties in the end have provided the strength needed to overcome all that ails. Thanks again for sharing your talent!

Todd; Great chapter of an awesome story! Hopfully Dylan will be able to put his demons to bed and get the rest and health that he needs. TJ has a rocky road, but I hope that he is able to turn over a new leaf and prove to the boys that he is sincere. Thanks for sharing your talents!

Leave us at the edge of a major cliff hanger -- you want us to jump? I wouldn't do that I want to know what is going to happen with Jamie/Cody as well as TJ. Will TJ rescue Erik and earn the respect of the guys. Why didn't CJ do a background check? Great story and can't wait until the next installment is posted. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Will is maturing more and more with each chapter. While he doesn't flaunt his wealth, he uses it to help others in such a way that they don't feel too indebted. What he did for Kai's parents was awesome, the remodel, the modified van and the motorized wheelchair meant the world to Kai's father. As Will leave Hawaii, there will be a hole in both Kai and Will's lives, I hope that both will be able to continue a friendship that just about didn't happen. Excellent update and I can't wait for more (and undoubtedly there will be more family drama!).

Grand / JP is setting the stage for the announcement that he and Isidore are getting a divorce. Is there going to be a lot of drama, will it come out that it will be at Isidore's request or will it be presented that that it is mutual? How will Brad deal with Will ignoring his calls? The 19th may be a firestorm or just a formal dinner. It will be an interesting evening that is for sure!

Awesome chapter! Glad that the boys are back and you have left us with a couple of conflicts -- Dylan in the hospital; TJ and Devon working together on Devon's art; Mattie and CJ's uncle not playing nice; and the list could go one. Keep up the work and thanks again for sharing with us.

It does appear that Brad and Stef have ganged up on Will, but their partners, Robbie and JP seem to have Will's best interests in hand. It is about time that Isidore parts company. JP has done a lot for her, but she has caused her own rifts with the rest of the family and this way she can marry Frank after all these years, if that is what is ultimately the driving force (but I am thinking that there is an ulterior motive). Will is returning to Palo Alto with the hope to hang out with John and hopefully repair family ties, I hope that he can do that -- it will make school assimilation easier. Great update!

When Kai pulled up in front of his home in the low rent district, I thought I had Kai pegged. I figured that he was taking care of siblings, making sure that they keeping their noses clean, no drugs, no gangs, etc. I was surprised that Kai was dealing with a handicapped dad. My respect for him went up two-fold. Will dealt with Kai's dad very maturely and rewarded Kai once they returned to his compound. Things are tough for Kai's parents, but they are proud -- while Will wants to buy them a new TV (and probably will) he needs to make sure that he doesn't alienate Kai's mother. She wants the best for her son and while she may think she knows that he is gay, she should not have to think that the reason Will buys the TV is that it is payment for having sex with Kai. Going back to the scene in the master bedroom, the alcove at 12 by 12 feet, it would make a great playroom and could be closed off from most prying eyes. Stef will have fun setting that room up! Having sex with the interior decorator -- well that was VERY STEREOTYPICAL! You even pointed out the "soft" buttocks! Will seemed to have some remorse and may have more in the future, but right now he is still the oversexed teenager that we have all come to love and adore.

Telling Kai to hurry up may just be a cold shower! Seriously, the way I am reading these two, they want it but at the same time, they are not 100% sure if it would be the best thing for their relationship. After all, their relationship started out fairly rocky. You have hinted about Kai's other life, but when are you going to let the rest of us in on the that secret??? Kai hasn't been with that many people, but he is so smooth, so that that mean that he is regularly servicing on the few that he has had. He did mention that he was an experienced top. Will is very versatile. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

Nice chapter Billy! It was interesting to read Andy's fathers position on gays without letting the "machine" know that his son was gay. Andy was really proud of his father. The dynamics between Andy, Joey and JT are going to get interesting especially when Cody get home. JT while he had been a jerk it starting to get looks from others.....it is going to be interesting! Thanks for the update and I for one am looking forward to more!

This was going to drive me fucking crazy until I found out what he was doing, and where he was going. This final line is spot on as I read the ending of this chapter. What is Kai's secret? How will it affect Will? What will Stef and Brad do about it? Most importantly, what will Grand do? I can't wait to read about what Stef does to Will's house. I know that it will be awesome and be perfect for Will. The guesthouse will then need to be re-worked. Will is like Brad in that he is a controlling alpha and while it seems to be a cause of friction between father and son I see Will maturing and Brad mellowing to the point that they developing a meaningful relationship that will stand the trials of time. Excellent update and I am looking forward to the next update where maybe Kai's mystery will be revealed (or will you prolong the intrigue even longer!). Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Sorry to see that the story is going into hiatus, but I hope that it will be continued when you have the time and inspiration. I have grown to like the young men and think that the new setting can lead to many interesting adventures (and even some trials). Kevin is a confused individual and because he doesn't have any one that he is committed to, I see him causing some problems by trying to break up the trio. They have already shown that they are there for each other and any issues caused by Kevin will not break them up, but making them more committed (not that it will be easy!) Looking forwarded to reading more about Dusty and Zac and their entourage!

Billy Great chapter! Miss Nancy may have her hands full with three young men in the house -- what havoc will they conjure? Andy is showing a lot of his father in his actions, making sure that Cody is taken care of as well as looking out after JT. Thanks for sharing your talents with us....

I was glad to see another chapter in the story of these three young men. Dinner was sweet, but the desert started out even sweeter. I hope that they are able to enjoy the night before something happens (because I know that it will). Thanks for sharing with us! Six

Mark Another great chapter! It appears that Kai has some baggage and I'm sure that Will will find out how much he is carrying. I hope that whatever it is, Will is able to help him if he is doing something that he doesn't want to do. Will seems to make Kai nervous, but I think that in the end they will be great friends. Thanks again for sharing! Six

Mark: I have been out of town and I am finally catching up on my reading. I really enjoyed this chapter. Will is growing up more and more. His therapist helped him understand how his actions can and do affect those around him. It looks like Robbie and Will are working through past issues and Will is there for Robbie in the end. Robbie doesn't understand Will's actions in the beginning but in the end is thankful for his son's actions. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Six

Brad seemed not to want to like the house that Will liked and found something wrong with everything...until he saw the waves and it was a done deal! Will and Kai got off on the wrong foot, but I think that we are going to see a change???? hint maybe? John is still not sure of how to take Will and needs to get over it--he may enjoy it! Thanks again for sharing your talents, Six

Will and Brad seem to have reached a point where they can push each others buttons, but know when to get real and be family. I liked the suspense of wondering if Lone Wolf was Kai and then we found out that he was. Is Will going to be able to use him as a driver or is he going to have to find someone else? Jotting down the realtor's number on the house for sale may mean that Will is going to be a Hawaiian property owner, but that doesn't make him Hawaiian. It will be hard to wait to see who Will gets lucky with (and the same goes for Brad). Will Mason come to Hawaii and christen the "new" house????

Mark you did it again! An excellent update and I loved how Mason and Will got it on. They started out slow (which is good) and then worked up to making love, not just hooking up for sex. I was happy to see that Will is topping on occasion, I always felt that with some of his hookups he was the one being used (even though he initiated the sex and wanted to bottom). Great chapter and am looking forward to what ever happens in Hawaii -- maybe Mason can join him. Six

Billy I just had to let you know that I really enjoyed the story, the only regret is that there wasn't another chapter to read! Andy's life is getting full with Joey, JT and now Cody. I am glad that he was able to help Cody. Things may get interesting with JT moving in and have Ms. Williamson represent him. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

Thanks for another great chapter Mark! I spent a week in St. Louis a number of years ago, and while we didn't see all the sights that Tony and Will did, we saw enough the realize that I should try to get there again. The Arch is awesome and a true experience. I can't wait for the float trip -- I am sure that there will be fireworks and that Will will have sex (but with who we will have to wait to see). Again, thanks for a great story and an awesome update.

Mark! A great chapter with an old friend. JP can see how his family is eroding and while he wants to make sure that the family sticks together some of the cracks seem to be difficult to repair. Isidore, Claire and Marie, while planning the party had only taken their "image" into a count while not considering others. Marie, as JP pointed out, is a real work, Jack and Claire have failed her in more ways than one and it appeared that John may have some of the same faults. At the end we all so how vulnerable that Will really is. As always, a great chapter! Thanks for sharing your awesome talents with us!

Will was definitely right to confront the "party planners" head on. It appeared that Marie was doing everything that she could to get even with Will. She also must of let her parents or at least her father, that she had apologized to Will. Noah wasn't welcome because he made Marie "uncomfortable" and was middle class. The young men that had caused physical harm to Will and Darius were welcome because their parents had money and had been invited in the past. What is wrong with inviting the parents, due to history, but let them know that their sons would not be welcome. No need to go into any details unless presses. With Will and JJ removing their rings and dropping them on the table and then leaving without eating dinner sent volumes to those staying. Stef got the message and I think that Grand will too. Brad will watch out for his boys, but let them handle it for the most part. He doesn't seem like the sort that wants to go toe to toe with his sister. This is probably the smarter path to take so that there isn't any irrevocable damage. Thanks for yet another awesome chapter! Six
