This just keeps getting better and better!

I love Reid totally checking out Luke and not even trying to hide it!

I love that, even with his hands buried in someone's brain, Reid was thoughtful enough to make sure Luke knew he wasn't going to make dinner. For Reid? That's like true love right there!

I love the Lukas and Jude stuff, too! If we have to wait for actual Luke/Reid smoochies, at least we get to know that Luke is fantasizing about them!

I can't wait for the cooking lessons!

Thank you, bb! I"m so happy you're enjoying it! Luke is totally fantasising about those smoochies! :D

I'm loving the progression in reality and Luke actually through his writing accelerating what his subconscious is trying to tell him about his attraction but Luke can be stubborn, sometimes I'm sure if he got it from the Walsh/Grimaldi/Snyder side.

Great chapter

Yep, Luke can be stubborn, but I think Lukas might teach him a thing or two. ;) Thanks for the wonderful feedback, as always! :)

Great chapter! I love the build-up in both stories and I'm really fascinated by the way the Lukas and Jude story actually seems to be a few steps ahead of the Luke and Reid one. Three chapters in and I still can't get over the delight of actually getting to read a story written by Luke. If Luke writes regency porn I will probably just drop dead on the spot.

The chili and chess scenes were brilliant. It's interesting that Luke is learning more and more about Reid, but Reid is still in the dark about why Luke is there and key facts about his life.

Love it! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you for your always delightful feedback! I really appreciate it! :D

The Lukas/Reid relationship is moving a little faster because Luke's not consciously ready to admit that he wants to go there with Reid. He thinks it's fine for "Lukas" and "Jude" though because he is totally in denial !

If Luke writes regency porn I will probably just drop dead on the spot.

You uh, may want to call the paramedics before you read the next chapter. ;)

Awww! Thanks so much for telling me! I'm so happy you're both enjoying it! Yay! :D :D

The remnants of Hurricane Irene are making its way by. A perfect day to catch up with this wonderful story. Two stories, actually. The main story has such an easy pace. And the "fictional" story is so romantic. I love each story!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying them both! :)

Stay safe from that hurricane!
