great cliffhanger! i love the story development. i certainly did not expect that there will be villains in this story. tanner's character is devilishly fantastic. how he created the rift between paul & ace is wicked, of soap opera-ish proportion. and that coming out, hah! epic! can't wait for the next installment!
Tanner is a little snot, a weasly, hairy rodent with no redeeming value. I love this story. Thanks for posting regularly.
Tanner is a whiny three year old who didn't get his own way. Pissed me off but good!
Why is Paul called Dr Z?
Why did Paul automatically believe the worst of Ace when he's not had any reason to doubt him before?
Why didn't Ace get in his car and go after Paul?
Why oh why does it take 24 hours before we get the next chapter?
So loving these two. Can't wait for more...
Great story!! I'm watching for it! Though, the only thing I think would have made it better is Ace punching Tanner right in his two faces!
So freakin good. It's so well-written and the characters are great. You put a ton of emotion into this chapter. I'm disappointed in Paul though. I mean, he saw how manipulative Tanner was at his office. Going in for touches and stuff. he should have trusted Ace more.
I don't think I have ever enjoyed a story this much! The anticipation for the next part is almost painful...in a good way!
Very good. I like the fact that Paul is attempting to change and be himself. I think the whole thing with Tanner threw him off and he is going to realize that Tanner is a total user. Ace should have belted Tanner in the mouth; nothing subtle will work with this completely egomaniac slut. I'm glad to see the posts are so close to each other; I hate waiting weeks or more for updates.
This story has me so trapped! I can't get enough. Love the characters, the heart-ache.... Looking forward to the next chapter. Glad for the regular updates.
:)
This is a beautifully written story with realistic characters that obviously has the audience spellbound, judging from the high votes. Ace and Paul show us everything they've got, both good and bad. And Holly- I'm hoping our girl will help pull this out of the bag for them although she's dealing with her own crap now that her fiance accused her of cheating on him. I see redemption in Steven once he comes to grips with the heavy load his brother dropped on him and on Erick too. Just drop Tanner down the nearest sewer for me because he has no redeeming value- what a jacked up spoiled bitch. I hope he doesn't cause more misery, but you never know. Best of all your dialogue is humorous, emotionally rich and multi-dimensional. Keep the chapters coming.
This is one hell of a ride. You are sooooooooooo awesome!
As others have said what a great story. I was so elated when I saw an update so quickly. I hate Tanner. Put that guy in his place soon. I feel bad for Paul and Ace. I guess you have to go through the ups and downs before you can have the happily ever after.
One: the massage scene was hotter than hell.
Two: YOU CAN'T LEAVE US LIKE THIS!!!!
THIS STORY IS A DRUG TO ME I'M HOOK LIKE A FISH S~O CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CH.
Can´t put it down once I start reading.. More more more and fast please!
First, let me say thank you for the really long chapters. This is a great story. The characters show real depth and emotion. I just can't wait for the next installment.
Rarely does a story get to me emotionally lately, but I could actually feel Paul's pain and confusion. Very well done! Wish Ace had popped Tanner a good one in the beginning, but then they story wouldn't be as powerful. :o)
Great job and thanks for the quick postings.
The plotting, characterization, dialogue, & pacing. . . everything is excellent. I'm hooked. Please post soon. Awesome. Thanks!!
I really enjoy the story; it keeps me wanting more just to see how it all turns out. Thanks!
for the next chapter.I really enjoy your stories, Keep up the good work and please keep posting!!!
Wow. I'd never expect that twist. I didn't see that comming. Anyway, youelr story is soooooooo freeeaaakingg wonderful. I can't think of any more powerful word to descrive your writing.
5 Star my man :bd
Can't wait for the next chapter.
LOVE THIS STORY!!! I hate your cliff hanger endings but I always come bak wanting more!! Love your work and keep it coming!! :)
I love this story and the characters, but why does Tanner refer to Paul as Dr. Z when his name is Paul McDonnell. I know, stupid question, but it keeps nagging at me. Thks.
It's a new day and no part 4? Help, I'm going into withdrawl.
So, I decided to change some names of characters before I posted, and although the Find and Replace function works great, it doesn't replace initials. So, when Zane turned into Paul, the Dr. Z references stayed put. An embarrassing oversight.
Compared to many who write here, your story is pristine.
One important thing missing: did Ace get his wish about looking into Paul's eyes when they make love? Maybe that was part of those two subsequent couplings in the night, but we'll never know, because you chose not to describe it. Made me feel let down a bit, but otherwise a good chapter - though the Tanner complication was sooo annoying as a cliff hanger. At least you got the next chapter out straight away, that helped a lot :-)
I'm not siding with Paul here. Over reacting to be honest. Just my opinion.
Guilt and over reaction but love this story and someone smack Tanner upside of the head for me....
Just love this story, and the writing style...... Love it it's like I'm there with them in their heads too,
Thanks
Love it
I can't bear it - this is misunderstandingville ...
some of these guys are so vicious - these are the real "fairies": capricious, selfish, meddlesome, jealous little hell cats;
They are not "men" who try to seriously go about their lives;
These "fairies" go about destroying other people's lives because they feel they don't get enough attention, and that everything is owed to them.
This is Tanner and he is really disgusting !
But Paul is sometimes so immature - how can he just jump to conclusions (again because of jealousy); he says he loves Ace - this is NOT love. This is some macho guy who feels he was wronged, but he doesn't stop to hear an explanation from the man he says he loves ... He has now thrown the Cameron episode in his face; this is the attitude of a man with no character.
This is so tiresome: all these misunderstandings are due to the attitude of people who prefer to turn their backs and run, to talking plainly and truthfully.
Damn this story is so engaging! I wonder how this hot mess gonna untangle
Am I supposed to dislike Holly? Because I'm kind of on the verge of hating her. First she seems to take some odd pleasure in keeping secrets from her fiance. Then she dismisses any concerns that he might find out as if she thinks Steven is too dumb to put two and two together. Then when he does actually find out something is going on all she says is; "Talk to Paul." As if it's Paul's fault that she wanted to lie and keep secrets from the man she is planning to marry. Yet I could have sworn it was Holly that inserted herself into the situation and built upon the lies by continuing to hang out with them behind Steven's back. She just rubs me the wrong way.
Ya know, I oddly find myself rooting more for Erik and Steven to get together, since they seem like the more deeply spurned characters. Plus there seemed to be some hinting that Steven isn't quite arrow straight.
I'm gonna finish the story, but I imagine Holly will be completely forgiven and probably end up the hero match-maker. You know, despite spending a good portion of her engagement making her fiance feel like shit by insuring he would have a bad reaction to his brother coming out. Not really looking forward to that.
