Hi there, I've finally had time to sit down and read this all together and I must say it's totally blown me away! The chemistry that you created between Bobby and John during their breif encounter was incredible!
The threesome with Bobby/Kitty/Lance was hot! As was the Bobby/Lance, loved Lance talking about Kitty the whole time lol! Hee and the description of them all stoned was great, very realistic...not that I'd know *looks shifty*
And John, oh Johnny how I love you! He's so vunerable, not that he'd ever admit it. It's so sad how he's reached the point where he thinks all acts of kindness are in return for sex. I just want to take him home and look after him, or you know Bobby could.
This is an amazing story, I can't wait for the next chapter :D

Thanks so much! I like the image of "bleeding flames".

Last week I also re-read from the beginning to get the sense of flow into Chapter 13. I'm finishing edits on 12 and working on 13 now. I'm in a good state of obsession for the rest of the book right now.

I'm really glad the Bobby/John chemistry worked for you because that little taste has had to last them a lonnnnnnng time. Despite all the turmoil they're going through individually, they somehow can't forget those brief hours spent together.

Ch. 12 should be up within a few days.
