Re: I Thought I Knew - Book 2
I'm not sure how this reply/message thing works on here, after the story was posted about 10 years prior! I signed up on JUB just so that I could respond and share some of my feelings about this story!!

Maybe I should be using the private message system instead. But if I know anything at all about HR, and I do know something about HR from past conversations that I've personally had with him about the story several years ago! He will probably see these replies I have been leaving!
I am being totally honest with what I have expressed. It may not be the popular opinion, that the majority of the readers voiced, but it is how I feel!!! As much as I enjoy the intensely crazy hot sex scenes, what really gets my focus are the emotions and feelings going on with these guys! I have experienced much pain, hurt, and betrayal in my life. Way more than my share, so I know first hand how destructive these thoughtless selfish acts can be! Especially when there is genuine love involved!!
I love this story, it has profoundly effected me, to the point when things are not good for any of these three characters, it makes my heart hurt, and seriously effects my mood!!!
This is the first time I recall in the entire story that I've been disappointed in Justin! I'm sorry, (Justin- Wake the Fuck Up!!!) after all the hot sex with the new friends to put a downer on the story! But it really bothered me, almost as much as it seemed to be tearing Billy apart!! I found it very sad!! It seems past time that these two have a serious talk about Phil and Todd, and if its safe to be fucking around at all with the relationship seeming to be very strained right now! Maybe Justin honestly does not see the way talks non stop about Phil or how he carries on around, and caters to Phil's every whim, but the story sure shows it plain enough! I am usually disappointed with Bill's behavior, but not this time at all! I was so very proud of Billy for stopping the heated exchange with Todd and not allowing him to fuck his lights out, even though it was obvious they both wanted it bad!! He also stopped what was taking place with Justin and Phil, which was bothering the Hell out of me!! They seem just a tiny bit to familiar and comfortable together!!-??? Now its to bad Justin just seems so fucking tired and to busy and disconnected from him to the point it seems that Billy really wishes he would have just gone ahead and let Todd have him!!
I Love these two together, and I hope that they can get things ironed out quickly, because to me if feels like the beginning of the end for the relationship! As hot as the sex could be with this new foursome playing together, and it was very Hot!! Justin and Billy are not well right now together. The newness has certainly worn off in the relationship, the honeymoon is over!! It just a hunch, but I honestly would not be surprised if something sexual has not already happened between Justin and Phil!!! It sure does feel that way to me. So I can fully understand Billy's hurt and sadness. Its ok to hear your lover taking pleasure to a point from someone other than you, if the relationship is strong and solid, and you are making sure after all the fucking around you take the time to make sure your partner is ok with things!! HR... you are a master with the hot sex stuff, I think you are however somewhat lacking in projecting and conveying the deep feelings and emotional aspects of the characters sometimes in the story. I feel really bad for Billy right now! Justin is being very foolish playing around at all, with his obvious sexual attraction to Phil!!! For once I feel that Billy is the more mature of the pair in this uncomfortable time in the relationship. Keep fucking around guys by bringing all these other people into your bed, and you will eventually break it permanently!!
