So now if there's ever something in a future chapter you don't quite understand or find believable, I can just say it was all explained in the section you skipped. ;) You did see the part where Reid decided to ask Luke to marry him, though, right?

But then he remembered Luke’s lips against his hand. Not that he could forget, what with the skin still prickling as if it had been asleep. As if Luke had woken it.

Ahhh, that's it, Reid. Not all the computing in the world can tell you everything. For some things you need the empirical evidence. In other words: you don't know what Luke's lips on yours will do to you until you kiss him.

But I feel a lot of respect for Reid's ruthless search for the truth about himself. He will not disrespect either himself or Luke by bumbling around in denial or unexamined confusion. Poor Reid. It's not easy being an anomaly and having to figure everything out for yourself. I can sympathize. I'm bi, I know that without a doubt, but I've also found myself wondering what the heck I would do with a woman in bed exactly ( ... )

You always get me. ♥

And it means so much that you can relate at all to what Reid is going through. Because try as I might, there's nothing bi about me. :)

The gay porn scene that wouldn't stop. Geez, you're really determined not to censor yourself here, aren't you?Oh, you have no idea the pressure to censor myself. Especially when I know a chapter would be much more beloved (and, in this case, more balanced) were I not to include certain things. Fortunately, I didn't have such dilemmas writing First Love -- there was only that one truly risky moment near the end. But Outlier is, of course, more controversial on multiple levels, and it has been a constant struggle not to water down the original conception. If I were trying to make this more marketable or literary there would no doubt be some changes. But ( ... )

Whoa.
That's all I've got to say for now. Seriously, everything you do is so predictably unpredictable I can't even.
I was waiting for this. So-not-disappointed.

And clearly, I kind of enjoy Reid's research. Entertaining.

You had me until the detailed sex scene. Meh. I've seen it all before. LMAO ;)

I have been waiting for this to continue for what seems like ages and now I know why! Reid was catching up on all the gay porn out there.

I LOVED reading his mind, though. Incredible job of following his thought process down the winding path of his sexuality. It's just not always that obvious, is it?

Bring on Chapter 10! Minus the meaningless cock n balls porn. ;)

And here I was trying so hard to shock you. Perhaps I should have included the horse. ;)

Ha! There were times I wondered if I'd ever let Reid up from his desk.

Since when has anything been meaningless? ;)

Yay you posted! I love the warning, btw. ;-) The whole chapter was interesting and incredible, but you know the part I love the most is how methodical Reid is about all of this. The walls are chipping away and I can't wait to see the full crumble.

Nice try, but I know the part you really loved the most was the porn. ;)

You know me and my love for the hard core stuff. ;-)
