I could feel the intense emotion, details make one breathe heavy. Very well written, I was really drawn in. Yes, waiting for #4!
I have read all of this series so far and really have a sense that this older guy is very sweet even while controlling the situ. I get the feeling that he is just as surprised as the young ladies are at what is going on with this relationship. His maturity possibly has helped but his care for Rachel is evident and she has responded with trust in him. I hope your story continues well and doesn't degenerate to something non caring and ugly!

Nice story with some refreshing touches, pervy yet sweet, avoiding the pitfalls of stark exploitation. I feel like all three are on a journey of understanding here, but one where roles of sexual romance and friendship are clearly defined. I am happy with the story ending here, imagining Rachel going confidently onto a future where she can make her mark on the world as her Intelligence and qualities deserve to, yet be comfortably protected at home with, eventually a family of their own that she knows would have a solid unthreatened unity about it, their children having a fantastic launch pad for the future. And still have a best friend who really respects, understands, perhaps slightly envies, this unusual, yet loving relationship, who she can still share those discussions that need to be outside the family to maintain essential affirmation andequilibrium. I know that when she is 40 he'll be 65, at 50, 75 and there may be challenges to come, but I have a good feeling about a time when the role of control naturally reverses in time to acceptance and concession, where their shared history keep them together to the end. Every lifelong relationship is different and this is just another one that fits within those that could work.
