Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying the story

Thank you.

They started in the attic and Drew was absolutely blown away by the massive room. Dormer windows and enormous skylights let in a lot of light and the room was airy and bright, with white walls, where there weren’t mirrors, and blond wood flooring. “I don’t often come up here. It’s the boys’ sanctuary.” Ben led the way along the wall, past the dance space, which bizzarely contained two poles. “Do they do pole dancing?” “Do they do it? They own it. I’ve never seen anyone better. When t

I very much hope you don't see the "who done its" too soon. I'm not really a mystery writer and i'm not terribly good at spinning a mystery so no one sees whats coming until it hits them, but I am trying with this one Trust no one

Haha I like the way you think Theorise away, my friend. Lots of opportunities coming up

Good luck trying to figure that out. I'm still trying myself. When I started out Aria was only going to be one person, then he split into two and Gods know where Amara came from. If that could happen anything could happen. I'm still trying to figure those two out myself.

I agree with Headstall, I picked up on that, too. Hmm, tuck it away for later. Great instalment. I love the description of the aline who thinned his hands and used them like flippers I guess.

Thank you. I really love the twins, but that's from a writer's perspective. I also really love writing some of the most horrible people you could imagine because they make the best villains.

Drew's a good guy. He's a lot nicer than I thought he'd be when I started. The twins are...well, you'll have to wait and see, but I'll tell you one thing, simple and straightforward they are not.

Thank you. I hope they live up to it.

You're not wrong Aria and Amara are complex little bunnies. The only people they completely trust are each other. In some ways they're closer than lovers (although spoiler they're not, never were and never will be). Their family life is...rocky and getting worse. As for the threats. There are plenty of surprises with those Just wait for the party!

Aria and Amara are amazing. If you want to see them take a look at my latest blog entry. Those boys surprise at every turn so don't start thinking you know them for a while yet.

Wow it's been a long time since I've been here. I'll try to post something more regularly but if you know me at all you'll know my memory is awful. Nudges always appreciated. Anyway, I thought it might be fun to give you a bit of a peep behind the scenes of Aria Graice. It actually all started with one of those silly, click bait things that crop up on Facebook. It was about the children of celebrities. I started thinking about it and this name popped into my head. Aria Graice. I started making up all kinds of little stories about Aria - who he was, where he lived, what kind of life he had. It percolated around in my head but wasn't really going anywhere. I have to mention that in a complete, if rather freaky, coincidence, I have recently discovered there is an LGBT author called Aria Graice. I had no idea before I named my character, and I honestly don't believe I'd heard of them before Aria came to me. Once named, of course, Aria would accept no other. Then I saw a painting that is actually fan art depicting Yuri and Yurio from Yuri on ice. The artist is Sakimi Chan who is am.az.ing. Here is their facebook page, you should support them https://www.facebook.com/sakimichanart/ . They do amazing work. Anyway, as soon as I laid eyes on him I knew he was my Aria. That's when I started to write the story and wouldn't you know, the little shit cloned himself and suddenly I had twins. This was never going to be a twincest story, and it isn't. In fact there's not much sex in it at all. It's more of an adventure with a lot of angst, some surprising twists and some typically Nephy torture and torment for kicks. I've tried to bring things up to date a little but at the same time wrote in some real life stuff given Drew comes from my home town. I've tried my hand at overshadowing and tried my best to avoid any Chekov's guns (probably wrong spellings) no doubt my readers will pull me up if I fail. The notice everything. So Aria was born and duplicated, hence Amara was born, then wouldn't you know a whole load of stuff shifted to Amara and Aria shocked me by becoming something other than he was at the beginning. The story took some strange twists and turns. Characters entered I hadn't intended, characters I'd planned faded into the background and Drew surprised me by being a lot deeper that I'd thought. So there you are. The story was born. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

We will find out more about the scars later, don't worry. There is definitely more here than just a "cushy job". I wouldn't say Drew was a plant as such but his skills are definitely needed. As for Aria and Drew, all is not quite as it seems, but more about that later.

Sorry I missed your comment. I hope the next chapter answers your question.

If the Graice twins had looked like two peas from the same pod in their family photograph, they couldn’t have been more different now. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, they stopped in unison and stood, staring at Drew. Aria, dressed in loose, white lounge pants and an unzipped white hoodie that did nothing to conceal his well-toned and muscled body, stood close to his brother, leaning his head against Amara’s shoulder, while Amara lounged against him with his arms folded across his chest.

Drew's a hard man with a soft heart. The boys are something else but they've been neglected, and emotionally abused, for so long they're vulnerable to forming very fast attachments to anyone who shows them kindness. This is both a blessing and a curse, especially as the story progresses. This isn't just about intrigue and suspense, but about some very different journeys

You'd be surprised. I hope you will be. I've tried to keep some suspense but I'm useless at overshadowing so I'm sure you'll guess what's going on soon enough

Great story. I would have been commenting all along but I've been struggling to find everything on your blog because it's easier to share. Your stories are always to rich and twisted which I absolutely love. This is fab

That was quick Drew is a bit of a jerk at the start, but he's come from a very poor home then spent most of his formative years in black ops and has seen absolute squalour and poverty, so he's having a lot of problems with the wealth and privilege. It doesn't take long for the twins to change his mind, don't worry. Miss Montgomery can be a bit of a tight arse but she's good as gold.

Drew Chance rubbed at his thighs, rough denim irritating still healing scars. He should stop, and he’d pay for it later, but he always rubbed his thighs when he was nervous. He couldn’t help it. Not that he had anything to be nervous about. After four years in SAS Black Ops there wasn’t much that scared him these days, especially now he was out of the forces and working private security – at least not until this job. Slapping his hands on the table in frustration, he drew startled glances fr

Aria Graice has it all. Son of superstar parents, brother of a rising star, you tuber, fashion guru. Drew Chance is his new bodyguard, a former SAS special operative from a poor Welsh family. He despises everything Aria stands for - until he meets him, and his twin Amara. He realizes that wealth and privilege don't necessarily bring happiness. When a series of escalating threats put both boys in danger, with Amara's bodyguard nowhere in sight, Drew doesn't hesitate to jump in, but what exactly has he jumped in to? And why does an unexpected outburst from Amara leave him thinking all kinds of things that are so very, very wrong - aren't they?

Love it

I edited the previous chapter. Off I go to do the same to this one You're gold, my friend.

Thank you for that! True constructive criticism is as rare as hen's teeth and very precious to any author worth their salt. I will do my best to correct that situation
