Ok, Lukas and Jude made my brain melt. So it's a good thing you ended with them. Seriously, damn!

Direct and flirty Reid are just too cute. Glad that Luke was provided a change in surroundings because between that and space he is able to see Noah and their "relationship" in a true (and depressing) light.

Thank you! That was one of the aims. Glad you're enjoying it!! :)

I love flirty, direct Reid. I am glad Luke is realizing that his relationship with Noah was dysfunctional. Hopefully, he can finally put Noah behind him and move on.

Luke's story is so hot!

I can't believe that this is your first multi-chapter story! I think you should definitely write more of them.

Is it weird that I'm worried about what will happen to Lukas and Jude when Noah sees them together? Is it wrong to hope that Noah is kicked in the head in Luke's story and dies a slow, painful, horrible death alone in the woods? I love how Luke's story is expressing what he's wanting in his own life right now, and I hope he doesn't have to wait to long to get him a little bit of loving. I'm also worried about how hurt and angry Reid will be once he finds out about Luke (unless he already knows and agreed to hide Luke out in his stables without Luke knowing about it!)

Anyway, enough of the conspiracy theories. I'm loving every minutes of this one. Especially how Reid seems to NEED to see Luke first thing in the morning...coming to the stables all sleepy eyed and bed-head just to come and see my horses with a cup of coffee. *sigh

Aww, thank you for the wonderful feedback! I really appreciate it! :)

The world really revolves around Reid and his love of chili and cornbread!

This made me LOL!

Thank you! Your questions have been answered - chapter 5 is up!

While Luke’s so grateful that he got his dad back, when he thinks about the way Noah had missed Holden’s funeral to go to L.A. with Mason instead, and then the way he’d gushed about the Hollywood parties they’d attended and the movie stars they’d met as soon as he got back, before he even asked Luke about the funeral, or how he was coping, it still burns all these months later. Yes!!!I couldn't believe how willing the writers were to make Noah unlikeable enough that he sort of forgot all about Holden's death in his excitement to tell Luke about Jude Law. Noah never really was a nice guy.

Love how kind of unsmooth Reid is at flirting with Luke and that Luke is facing up to the fact that he's beginning to like Noah.

And I'm just as nervous as others about Jude and Lukas risking getting caught. Not exactly a scenario where the two of them could have ended up Happily Ever After. sigh

Great story!

Thanks for the lovely feedback! I'm really happy you're enjoying it! :)

Please tell me that Luke wrote that Lukas/Jude chapter just before going over to teach Reid to make chili. Luke couldn't help but be all worked up after writing that. Reid will definitely notice any boners being sported and be more than happy to offer assistance.

Outstanding yet again.
