Great job with chapter 20! You have such a talent for making their interactions seem so real. I think that is the key for readers to be able to identify with the characters. You make them, and their situations so believable! Thanks very much to Scooter as well. I had the privilege of going gliding when I was a teenager, and reading their experience brought it all back for me! Very descriptive! Thanks to you both!

Thank you for this chapter. It was great to know that they are getting to know each other better and I am so hoping that they stay together. I can't wait for the next chapter. I wait a little while then start looking every day for the next one. I send up a cheer when it appears so thank you so much.
I was a little bit leery at the thought of a "glider scene," especially after the shoddily copied 50 shades debacle mimicking the Thomas Crown Affair movie--- but this was PHENOMENAL! I've wanted to be a pilot (after my flight suit-wearing Air Force dad) for forever, so this really hit home with me. A delicious three pages that was over too soon! Thank you so much.
I love this story. Love all the characters. I'm grateful you provide regular chapters, even with longer gaps here and there, it isn't so far as to be forgotten. I look forward to Chapter 21!
i mean, i wouldn't know, really. i never did that. but it sounds absolutely incredible. and Hamish was, by far, his most likable in terms of his behavior. plus, yes, i'd admit to the obvious appeal of men in flight suits. imagining Hamish in that green flight suit certainly upgraded him in my mind. yes, i know how shallow that makes me. no, i don't really give a damn ;-P
it was a fun chapter, A2W! looking forward to the next... :)
Thanks for this story. I look forward to each chapter. This story makes me hopeful!
MastersWench: Ah, you held that from me! lol Yes, Scooter did an excellent job on it, although I will admit it was over my head. But now I wish I did that when I was in Scotland (okay, maybe hot-air balloon). Glad you liked the chapter.
Suebramley: Cheers to your cheers! I'm working on 21 now.
Kaffeine1: I'm glad you liked the gliding scene. Scooter and I fought over getting it out, but thankfully I won ... I mean he conceded. :-) He will be giving us the finale, but I'm not even there yet!
graceunderfire: I'm in love with Hamish too! lol Except I wish I could hear his accent. That would definitely get me inspired to continue even faster. Chapter 21 is coming along slowly, but hang on. I don't think it'll be too long in getting finished.
STG: Hey! Gliding would have me screaming the whole way! lol But Hamish had everything under control. My family has a navy background, so I'm partial to their formals, but Marine/Army fatigues....yummy! You're not shallow, you know how to appreciate a hot-looking man in uniform! What girl doesn't?
Just had to say how exciting the gliding scene was, I loved their playful banter which makes them seem so real as characters. I've never been in anything smaller than a puddle jumper and the idea of being in a glider sort of terrifies me, but you make it sound magical! Bravo to your helper in the description department, almost tempts me enough to try it!
Hamish showed the funny daft, caring side again and that's the Hamish I had grew to know and love!!
Plus a flight suit never fails to get me all hot and bothered, come to think of it most uniforms have that effect but there is something about olive green!!
I've been lucky enough to rack up a fair few hundred hours in gliders and this scene was so true to life, well done and a 5 shiny gold stars.
Freaks the crap out of me and you told this little adventure so well. It was nice to see him not act like such a dick here too and do something for her. Lovely chapter!
I learned something new today about gliding - I had no idea about the pee-tube. You live and learn!
I don't always like Hamish; I find him a bit too unpredictable and mood-swingy. (Ha ha, made up word alert.) But I do like him in this chapter, and I like that he's sharing something he truly loves with Gayle.
I've just read from start to finish in the last couple of days - I do hope you are planning to continue, I'd hate for it to end here. It's been a real treat to be able to read a decent length work, not something shorter than a magazine article.
well hi there A2W. i havn't been on in a long while just came back to check on some my fav authors. you've taken Gayle to new hights literally i love the story and can't wait for the next chapter. as usual keep up the great work :-)
Ah, I check everyday day for more installations to this series! Thank you so much for writing it, I really like the story line the character development. Does anyone have any suggestions for a series like this to tide me over until ch. 21...and 22..et cetera? I particularly love how it is set in Scotland! Thanks Addicted to Writing!
Hey, guys. I know it's been weeks waiting for chap 21, but I've had one infection after another and finally get back on my feet, nothing major. Just a year shy of the big 5-0 so my body is falling apart.
I'll be working on it this week -- promise!
Does that mean someone should have placed a "bug report"? π . Ok, ok....Sincerely hope you're on the road to recovery and able to continue with this great series. I keep checking the "New Stories" tab with my fingers crossed. 5*
Also hope you are feeling better but also hoping to see the next chapter very soon! Been waiting patiently since this chapter was posted :(
I know I'm disappointing you readers, but right now I've got Gayle bound to Hamish's desk in his library, and for some reason I am just STUCK there! I'm trying to get past it, but working FT now (yah!) and still fighting the dang sinus/allergy mess has fogged up my brain.
Once I get over that hump, the rest is already written, though I'll have to review it again and get it edited.
I'm hoping to having something out this weekend, as I'm pet-sitting and will have no work and a quiet house!!
Crying because none of my favorite authors are updating but I love yall anyway. This is the only story in bdsm I could get into and I love it. Kep up the good work!
say you will be posting a new part to this amazing story soon i check every day to see if a new one is up maybe a christmas present for all of us fans please please give us one soon
I am begging you to update this! I need to know the rest of the story!!!
But you've said in previous comments you aren't feeling well and your health is the first priority. Feel better soon!
Amazing read I read all 20 chapters in the last 12 hours - it should be published its fabulous. Would love to read the end of G and H journey! X
Guys, I know it's been a while since I've written, and I'm so, so sorry! With a new assignment from hell, a wedding I was the day coordinator for, a pretty bad cold, the flu/bronchitis for 3 weeks then the Holidays, and I've met a man who is a Master which has consumed a lot of my time since then, I am ready to start writing again!
As I said, most of chap 21 is 1/2 written and I left Gayle on Hamish's desk, so once I figure it out today I finish it -- I promise!! Give me two weeks (I hear Lit is now taking 5 days to post!) and it'll be there for y'all.
Please hang in there! I know ya'll are mad.
A2W
We just selfishly want the next chapter to your wonderful story. Carry onπ
Hi,
I've devoured this story as and when I can over the last two days, and I can't tell you how much I am enjoying it.
RL gets in the way doesn't it? Needless to say, given how much I've enjoyed Aprons For Gayle, I'm thrilled to hear you are writing more.
Any update? Waiting patiently.... :-). Not one of my strengths. :-) lol
Its been too long and I really want to see how this comes out!
maybe a Valentines day gift for everyone please please please this is my fav story and and i so want the next part guess i will just have to read the series again for like the 100th time lol
I was so expecting Gayle's uniformed Hamish fantasies to be fulfilled. Love love love your series! Their interactions are amazing, and more than once I've laughed out loud with their humor. I'm also kind of in love with the details you put in this story, like Gayle adopting the Scottish accent/his humor little by little. It's just a personal pet peeve of mine but I also really like how you don't seem to put Hamish's wealthiness/attractiveness all over the story. Most authors tend to just describe how rich and perfect this one guy is in the first chapter and I'm just like, yeah I get it let's move on with his personality. While Hamish really is wealthy, the way you write him doesn't make me think that's all he's worth for. A favorite of mine is the Range Rover scene, and Gayle immediately shoots it down, calling it a truck and a gas guzzler, thinking about the environment first rather than its luxurious seats or smooth ride or something. No lies, that part made me love Gayle, if I hadn't already been in love with her chapters before that.
Anyway, if I don't stop I might just have to list down all my favorite moments - which is a lot! There's like at least two for every chapter and you have twenty! I'm really impatient to see what's up on the 25th of January but I love how it's slow-going and there's actual character development between these two. I can't really explain how I'm feeling except I hope you have plans to continue this because I would love to see more conflicts (something to spice up the story like Bri) or plot twists or whatever because the wait for the chapter covering the month of January just makes me wanna pull my hair. Looking forward to more!
Are you plan to continue the story? I hope so, I have enjoyed the story so much, and I hope that it is eventually completed...and not just abandoned like so many here on literotica. You are talented, and I hope nothing bad has happened to you to prevent finishing the story (selfish of me I suppose, but I do hope all is well.)
Just a little upset that there hasn't been an update in a while. We are patiently waiting to hear what happens next!
waiting for Hamish and Gayle to come back, yes I know I asked in March...but perhaps shameless begging will get you to come back and give us more...so please, please, please write more of this story. Ok then...until next month...when I come back to beg again lol.
Please please please say you are going to finish this story for us I need my fix it can't end here it just can't please
Please finish this story. I know the real world get in the way but please find time to finish what you started. Lost like a lot more people waiting for the end.
I know I've promised I'd continue months ago, but with a move 1,000 miles away, a move to new home, getting settled and a marriage proposal, making favors and things for wedding I have been beyond busy. Big day is July 18th and I PROMISE, PROMISE I will continue Gayle and Hamish's story. I'll have to read from scratch to 'get the feeling back' but it's still there. I've been thinking about it the past few weeks to help continue it.
Please, please bare with me and thanks for sticking with me.
We'll be here when you get back.
Mazel tov.
CONGRATULATIONS! Wish we could all pitch in and help. What a fun time. And as ANON said, "We'll be here when you get back."
... a broken foot!!! Fell in a hole and broke bone at base of little toe very badly! Bad news: May need surgery. Good news: Good excuse for writing!! Bad news: I might be high on Hydrocodone. Good news: Sex might be extremely hot!!!
Oh A2W, there was no need to maim yourself so we could perv on Gayle and Hamish! Congratulations on your upcoming nupitals!
... for all the well wishes. I'm looking forward to writing again.
checking in - sad that there is no new chapter, but excited to see your comments. I hope your wedding was wonderful, and that your foot is healed...so now you can get writing! ;) It is just too good a story, too well done, to leave unfinished...but don't rush through it just to finish it either lol! I hope a new chapter is coming soon!!
Came across this around a quarter to ten last night...and couldn't put it down until 2am! Then missed my train because I was reading it again when I woke up...just finished the last chapter in work because I have absolutely no self discipline! It's a fabulous series but please take your time with writing another chapter. Your life has obviously taken a wonderful and unexpected turn in the last year or so and I want you to enjoy it...and come back to Hamish and Gayle when you want to, not because you feel guilty. Your writing is sublime missy, and I love it - you've set the bar very, very high! Thank you for a very enjoyable (if exhausting!) twelve hours :)
Are you going to add to this amazing story? I keep checking back to see if you have added more.
You are missed. So are Gayle and Hamish. Can we get an update?
I have absolutely loved this series. Please consider finishing it though preferably with a few more chapters first. I've done nothing this weekend as I've been engrossed in this tale. I love your writing style and use of humour. More please!
to writing. It has been over a year and nothing done to wrap up this great story that stopped right in the middle of it. It is such a shame. I seriously need to start only reading stories that are completed before investing my time in them. Without an ending, this was a waste of time.
Readers: I know I've not written in over a year and I'm truly, truly sorry. I have every intention of finishing Aprons, but with all that's been going on it's hard to settle my brain to continue the story ... for now.
I'm going to put this on the back burner, as far as posting, and I will write, even if for five minutes, and post when I have a few chapters finished, though it may be a few months. (wow, was that a run on sentence? See, told ya! lol)
Please hang in there with me and don't get discouraged that I've not updated. I don't mean to waste anyone's time but ... just bare with me.
Jeannie
PS-Thanks R. C.
Thanks for the update. Picture all of us standing outside a window with our hands cupped around our faces to see better inside. Almost as one we say: "Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.", as we send you positive vibes through the air to speed you on the way to Gayle and Hamish's world.
Take care of you. Keep a notebook handy for those unexpected bits of story that turn up (pop up) at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected places. Those are often hard to recover.
and I'm so glad I did! I know your last comment was in January - and it is now April, but I hope you truly do finish this - I was enjoying my coffee this morning and saw a picture on tumbr that instantly made me think of this story. That's how good it is - it stays with you, even over a year after reading the last chapter. I would pay for this story if you'd publish it :)
I do hope you finish this.
Please finish this story. It's such a favorite that I reread it every few months and always hope for an update. I hope you're able to get the words flowing again - best wishes!
for reader and writer is an unfinished story. I hope that whatever happened to make you stop was something good, because the first 20 chapters are lovely. Thank you for sharing them.
It's a very lovely story.It would be shame, after 20 chapters, the readers NOT to have the end of the story.Please tray to finish it!
back. I hope you will be able to find whatever you need or want to finish the story.
I know it is really hard to adjust after marriage and all that has happened. You are still you and you can do whatever you want.
You are amazing!
Excellent story.. I hope for all of us that you finish it one day! π
Really enjoyed reading this story. I was surprised to read a comment from you in 2019, where you noted that you know a lot more about D/s now than you did when you wrote Aprons For Gayle! Wow! Can only imagine that the (majority) of this tale was crystal clear in your mind given the strength of both Hamish and Gayle's characters and the struggles they both faced along the way.
Is this really the end of the story, or do you/have you ever considered re-visiting them at any point? Please don't get me wrong, in my mind I imagine them becoming ever closer as time passes - both telling themselves that Gayle will return to America at the end of her contract but when the time comes neither of them want to part permanently...
It also made me chuckle that you wrote Gayle's thoughts before she spoke at times. The sex scenes were really well written, and very hot!
Thank you for this story. I'm really glad I found it.
Jules
Dear Jeannie, I hope all is well with you. I loved your story of Hamish and Gayle, every aspect of their relationship. His domination of her was much more mental than physical. Their chemistry and emotional connection were off the charts. These things matter more to me as a reader than sophisticated D/S scenes. I will read and comment on your newer writings, but I truly hope you will return to this story and finish it for all of us. Thanks for sharing your work!
