We couldn’t have asked for anything different than his ending.

Wonderful writing, wonderful story! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Loved, loved, loved this AU, every word. Standing O!

HUGS,

Cathy

Such a welcome ending to this chapter. Brian, already full of lust, still managed to tease a bit. And letting go of his slaves? Icing on the top with a cherry.

HUGS,

Cathy

I’m glad Gus and Jasmine are really bonding, and they both really seem to like Justin.

Just because Brian was drugged and sleeping, do you think he heard the ‘I love you’?

HUGS,

Cathy

Whoa! That was a twist! And shot and killed - no capture. Ahhh, poor Lindsay - NOT! I hope the first shot halts her so she can’t do anything, then very slowly, each next bullet is a little more killing, then leaves her to die as she tries to inhale a breath. (Sorry - I just feel no sympathy for the witch.)

Aw schucks, this could interfere with plans for Lindsay to watch Ethan be executed. Where’s the fun in that?

I feel sorry for Jasmine. I know it’s her nature to speak up, and it will take getting used to holding her tongue until the proper time to speak. But she will learn. I can see Gus helping her with it. I sincerely hope the children will become almost inseparable.

HUGS,

Cathy

Hot, hot interlude, and just the calming effect that Brian needed before seeing Lindsay. It would be nice if he casually threw in there how he was going to spend the rest of his life with Justin.

HUGS,

Cathy

Lindsay is delusional if she thinks Jasmine is going to save her. Jasmine HAD a mother, Mila, she owes Lindsay nothing. And she’s got the king’s backbone. I doubt any sob story could override the fact that Lindsay cheated her of her true family for eight years.

It didn’t seem like a lot of love lost between Ethan and Lindsay.

I like the closeness Brian and Justin seem to be getting to.

I’m looking forward to the twins meeting and seeing if they will automatically have the twin bond.

HUGS,

Cathy

I HATE that smarmy SOB! God… talk about a pair! But what Ethan is forgetting, the king can do anything he wants. He should have his guards come into the room and drag the slimy thing to the prison and hang him or chop off his head! Pull out his tongue - anything.

You do realize these stories of yours are making me think of dreadful deaths, don’t you? LOL… I USED to love horror flicks and watched many with my son. I don’t watch them anymore, but I still remember the gruesome deaths.

Or if you saw the old movie Fargo, they can throw him in a wood chipper too.

HUGS,

Cathy

First, Justin’s talk with Jennifer. She seemed saddened that Justin wouldn’t come with her. But yet she spoke of a very old fashioned man. What would happen if they got there and the grandfather turned Justin away because he was gay? I can so easily see that happening. And then, since he didn’t like Craig, it would be double blame for that reason.

My heart went out to Jasmine. I think she honestly loves her ‘mother’, which is apparent in the concern she has for her. Did the woman have any other children? And that Jasmine had to compete against?

The similarities between father and daughter - well, there’s something to say about genetics.

HUGS,

Cathy

Jasmine seems well educated, her speech is good. But I have a feeling the family had little food, and it was made to stretch. I have to wonder if the doctor wanted the nurse to take the baby and get rid of it. Maybe she refused and said she’d keep it. It’s just too bad with the little that Lindsay was in Tehara, that the nurse didn’t try contacting the king at some point.

The nurse’s bank accounts can all be checked to verify the monthly stipend from the doctor. I bet the nurse doesn’t have any inkling to his whereabouts.

And I can just about imagine Jasmine’s anger when she is told the truth.

HUGS,

Cathy

Well, the guys finally got some action in… but that little brat just couldn’t help but egg Brian on. LOL

But I doubt Lindsay will be very forthcoming. She’ll most likely squeal like a hurt pig at seeing Justin and his drawing.

HUGS,

Cathy

See? A whip line or two, wouldn’t have any impact on the children… they wouldn’t see it. And threats to her for not revealing, should keep the bitch alive. And for her not having contact with Jasmine, means she’s no mother to her. Has Lindsay been paying the people for keeping her? Giving her a modest lifestyle? So much to learn here.

Hopefully, Justin’s sketch will help immensely. I think the king will see a completely different Justin now that he is free of the contract.

HUGS,

Cathy

I’m glad Brian and Justin seem to be getting along a little more civilly. I think Justin is starting to see things a little differently. He has his brattiness tendencies - just like canon Justin - but he does learn from his mistakes.

It’s unfortunate Brian walked into the room and heard Jennifer’s statement. Just hearing that part, seems worse than what they were talking about previously. I’m pleased that her father and family are accepting her back home. But I think at some point when things were so bad for her and Justin when Craig was around, I wish at that time she might have contacted them.

And then Brian revealed so very much with his - Neither one of them is you. My heart went *flutter, flutter* And when Brian sees the painting of Gus, I’m sure all will be forgotten.

HUGS,

Cathy

Brian should have called for the guards and had Lindsay locked up. Like a thief in the night she might try to escape. Hell, if he had to, he could use torture methods on her. Lindsay doesn’t strike me as a person that could take much before she cracked.

And our little imp, Justin, is just going to stir up a whole can of worms with the king. If he was going for ‘inciting his wrath’ - I think he found the right way. What was his main objective? To size up the competition?

HUGS,

Cathy
