THUD. Yep, that's me: right on the floor. You did that.

OMFG....so I discover TWO tantilizing chapters and to end it like that...I'm with Justin here, "Please, Brian, no!"

Please update soon!!!!!!

[theconservatory]

Yay, you're back..!! *does a little dance* I'll be posting soon. I'm writing now.

[snow_white79]

Talk about a "welcome back" gift! I am so excited to hear what's next in store for these two. So glad your muse is back and in full force.

I see the push-and-pull continues. It so interesting to watch Brian try to harness Justin's constant state of arousal, while also enjoying the benefits. Brian seems almost tentative to allow Justin have what they both desire. One has to wonder what type of control the one week on, two weeks off, will require from both of them.

I do not know if I mentioned this in my other comment, but I always feel such apprehension and unease when they are together. While their encounters and time in the room are more erotic than mere words can say, there is also a palpable edge. I think that feeling is what keeps all of us coming back for more.

Yep, and I think that there is more to that edge that meets the eye. The part that interests me as I'm writing it and switching POVs is how different they both feel about this part of their relationship. It's positive for both of them, but it's completely different. It makes it really tricky sometimes because I'm often taken off guard by what I feel that they feel. That's why updates take awhile--because I'm trying to flesh out the root of something...

An update!
It's been too long.
Funny how will the maids think of their toys.

"you were in one for years, and you turned out okay"
the story of Brian's life, in one sentence.

[theconservatory]

THANK YOU for appreciating that line! I busted out laughing when Justin said that because, honestly, he has a valid point. I also think it's funny that Justin doesn't care if the maids know there's a dungeon in the house; he just doesn't want them putting their non-artistic energy into his studio. He cracks me up a lot.

[cryforwhat]

That's what I like about your Justin.
He can be extremely sharp sometimes, but other times, he's just as dorky as traditional blondes can be, not to mention a serious pain in the ass, literally.

I think we can all feel Justin's anxiety over this new rule of "one week on and two weeks off." I know it's exactly how I feel at the end of each and every chapter!

I also love how Justin's personality and unique wit is still there in full force, even when standing naked in a dungeon. It's what makes this relationship real... he's still Justin. (And Brian is still Brian)

Ha! Yeah... I thought it was crazy too, how Justin doesn't seem concerned about the maids cleaning a full-fledged dungeon, but can't handle them cleaning his studio!

Waiting for my "one week on!" ;p

I love Justin. He's really fun to write. They both are, really, because they're both a little delusional in different ways. Thanks for the feedback!
