Okay, so we know that Jasmine is the king’s daughter. It would be pretty rare to find a second ‘Jasmine’. And if this is the nurse that helped with the delivery, everything is pulling together. But why would Lindsay give her the child, and why did they stay in Tehara?
It was funny just how arrogant the little girl sounded… too much like her father. And even though they lucked out with finding her so easily, at least Brian’s torture is over.
And depending on what the woman has to say – it might not be her dying, but hopefully, Lindsay.
Hugs,
Cathy
Author's Response:
All questions should be answered soon, and hopefully everyone appropriately punished. Brian has so much going on at this point with doing that and attempting to build a relationship with his daughter. She is definitely so much like him, perhaps even more so than Gus. Brian's palace will probably become more lively in the days ahead. LOL.
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.

Date: Jul 12, 2021 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40: A Mystery Unraveled
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
Date: Jul 12, 2021 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Long-Awaited Meeting
Dun, dun, dun, dunnnn… SERIOUSLY???
I have a feeling Jasmine won’t have anything bad to say about the nurse. The way she demanded about her mother, tells me she was worried.
This talk between them is going to be so hard. Hard for Jasmine to understand, and hard for Brian to make her believe him.
I’m glad Brian will have comfort with Justin tonight. Something to unload the most stressful day. Brian can unload about Jasmine, and Justin can talk about how exciting he found spending time with Gus.
Gus… he’s probably going to hate Lindsay. He didn’t appear overly happy with her earlier.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 12, 2021 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Unforgettable Meetings
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
Date: Jul 13, 2021 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 43: A Fate Revealed
So, are we to hope that she will slowly go insane? I hope he has the room modified so it’s about the size of a jail cell, with a small twin bed in it, and only a couple of frumpy nightgowns for clothes. Because right now, it sounds like the tower room is luxurious. A small place will surely drive her nuts.
That said, I STILL think she should have two lashes on the back. One for each child that she robbed of their time to grow up together. (Hey, at least I didn’t say EIGHT - one for each year.
I guess I don't’ even mind that Michael has been written as a nice guy. Lindsay is SO awful, we didn’t need him in the mix too.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 13, 2021 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 44: More Surprises Await
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
Date: Jul 13, 2021 Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Difficult Decision
Hip, hip Hooray! Now I don’t feel so bad for all the awful deaths I’ve been conjuring up! Especially after Ethan was so cocky and thought he could threaten the king - and bedding Justin - Well, Brian wants him dead anyway!
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
You knew I had to get Ethan more involved in this story, right!? LOL. Ethan would have been wise to flee after being rejected in the beginning of the story.
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.
:)
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Endless Malice
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
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Reunited!
I can understand both children’s attitudes. As Gus said - She has never treated me with kindness or respect, nor have I ever felt any love from her.
And Jasmine, defiant like her father - demands to know why. And if Lindsay tries to pull any of that sweet Mother Earth tone on her - I can almost hear Jasmine spat: LIAR!
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48: A Much Needed Interlude
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
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Becoming Better Acquainted
That was a nice father-daughter bonding moment. I think if Brian continues with the talks, Jasmine will eventually perceive him as father, and once Lindsay’s out of the way, Jasmine can continue to grow into her own.
Maybe it would be best to have Ben present for that conversation with Lindsay. If Brian is able to control himself, he’s made of much better stuff than I, myself am.
I hope Lindsay has to watch Ethan being beheaded (please let that be his punishment.) She can know what’s coming, and she can also know she’s the cause of him losing his life.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I think Jasmine will make an excellent addition to the family. It's scary how she's so much like her father and she just met him. I guess genetics means something. We will just forget Lindsay's part in that - LOL. That would be perfect for Lindsay to be forced to watch...but things are probably going to go awry. You've finished the story, so I guess you know that too. Haha.
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.

Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Plans Gone Awry
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
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Justice Rendered
Well, the old witch is dead. It is a shame how easily she died. I really wish it would have been a slower and worse death. She didn’t deserve one so quick. Especially when she was willing to kill Gus just to hurt Brian. Unfortunately, I can’t think of appropriate words for someone like that.
I really hope Gus won’t suffer nightmares from this.
And Brian is going to be one of the worst patients possible. He isn’t going to appreciate people waiting on him.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Under the dire circumstances and how far Lindsay was willing to go to destroy Brian her death at that moment was probably inevitable. She was the lowest piece of filth. Her name and mother should NEVER be used in the same sentence.
Yes, I can't imagine Brian being a good patient. He doesn't accept vulnerability in himself, and certainly isn't accustomed to it. Good luck to them all. LOL.
Thanks for commenting!
:)
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Aftermath
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
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Loose Ends
It looks like the end for all the bad guys. And unfortunately, we weren’t invited to Ethan’s beheading - OFF WITH HIS HEAD! - as the Queen of Hearts always said. That just leaves me with the gory images I can conjure up!
That doctor must not be up on the news of the goings on in Tehara, because I can’t imagine him being stupid enough to withdraw money from that card.
It’s understandable how Jasmine is as smart as she is if she was reading the encyclopedia, and various hard books.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Heart of A Savage
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
Author's Response:
I'm not sure if Justin could ever feel completely at home as long as the other slaves, although they were there willingly, was a part of Brian's home. And, I don't think Brian will miss them at all.
Thanks for commenting!
:)
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 55: Chapter 55: A Special Surprise
How sweet for the kids to think of a portrait for a present. A lifelong gift.
And Justin distracted him enough that he didn’t get chewed out for the way he entered.
And yay! The doctor was dealt with. Everybody can truly get past everything now.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 14, 2021 Title: Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Only the Beginning
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
Author's Response:
I am so glad you liked it! I did love my time spent writing this story. There were so many times I thought about finishing it, and then I took a swerve and added another plot device to make it take even longer. I didn't want it to end. LOL.
Thank you for reading and all of your comments. I appreciate that so much!
Hugs,
Janet

It all happened the first night Brian brought him home. He could never so no after that. Of course there were the few times, but he always made up for them.

Cathy
Author's Response:
I believe a part of him knew that first night that Justin was different; in fact, special. But, we know he had to fight it when he could. :)

I still remember Brian's eyes rising up to look over his coffee cup when Justin came into work that morning.
It was probably one of his regrets (that he never does.)
Hugs,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Although Brian would never admit it, I do think he had a few regrets, and these events had to top the list.

This could be an interesting concept. Both financially independent, so they don't need each other that way - both studs in the own rights - hmm, I guess my question is WHO will top first?
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Haha. That's a very good question. I guess we'll find out. This is certainly a different take on Justin for me. :)
Thanks for the comment, Cathy.

Ah, there’s the guy that taped the interview, Justin. I think he will be what you are looking for. *wink*
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: A Meeting to Remember
This will be interesting. If I had to guess on how this meeting between the sheets will go this evening, I’d pick Brian to bottom first, and then Justin.
And oh god, we have a love sick Michael to contend with. That look he gets on his face about makes me want to throw up.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
You could be right, but I'm not breathing a word - LOL.
This story could take us back to the Michael WE love to hate! Haha.
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.
:)
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: A Clash of Hunters
I love it! I guess I’ve never really read a ‘total bottom’ Brian story, it’s not his nature. But I can see them battling this out. But the fact remains, Brian is gay. And I wouldn’t think any gay man would mind giving in to bottoming, especially a deal with Justin. Because like I said, I see them each bottoming for the other. But which one first? That’s the main question.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I think it will begin to be obvious who will be topping. I won't say they both won't, that would give away too much...but it should be fun finding out. I hope!
I'm not sure I've read a total bottom story either, but one of most favorite stories is a Toppy!Justin and Bottom!Brian story. 'Spin and Fall' by Conzieu, and it's here on KD. If you haven't read that, I highly recommend it. :)
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.
Hugs,
Janet
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: A Plan in Motion
I think Brian needs to get the downstairs lock replaced, even if he had to do it himself, with specific instructions to not let no one for any other apt in. That would kill the pest being at his main door. At least Michael must not have a key to enter the loft.
Now Michael will probably spread all the news around the dner, Woody’s and Babylon.
Sean - that’s interesting. The cat’s away, so is the little mouse playing? Or isn't that a factor?
HUGS,
Cathy
