As you can most probably tell by the title Hunter and Matt's relationship progresses, if this is not your thing then don't read the last bit in the loft.

A bit longer than the last few, but it had to be split as a spike in Michael's jealousy needs a chapter all of its own.

Another long chapter, but it had to be done. I hope to wrap this up in 2/3 chapters.
