Jess' Story -- I Thought I Knew, Book 3

[Matt89]

I can't believe its over. What a great ending. This story has meant a lot to me and I am glad you posted it HR. Thankyou.

 

[Kyanimal]

WOW! The entire ITK Project as been one awesome, amazing, "Ride"! And, though I knew it would some day come to the "Final Chapter", I'm sorry that it has!

I feel as though I've actually met, and gotten to Know, HR and "The Guys"! And, I consider all of you good friends! There have been many, many, subjects covered in addition to all the HOT sex! And, I'm sure that countless readers have learned, and discovered, things we were not aware of, even about ourselves, through the tremendous, open, sharing of your lives, and that extends to HR, too!

THANK YOU!, from my Heart! Wishing you All the very best, and brightest of futures!

Of course ... no matter what ...

Keep smilin'!!

Mailbag:

Autolycus: "It's impossible to believe that this story has reached its final chapter. It has been part of the lives of its many fans for so many months, I am sure that all the characters HR has introduced seem like real friends and will be sadly missed." I want to publicly thank you for all the times you jumped in and saved my ass after I had allowed some stupid errors to slip through editing and it ended up posted on JUB.

DonQuixote: "I hope you will pop in from time to time to let us know how life is going - how you are each doing. It doesn't have to include the latest hot scenes from the bedroom, although I'm sure many of us wouldn't take offense if you did, lol. But, that is your personal life, and there comes a time when you need for it to become just that - personal. You guys are all like an extended family to me." Since you arrived on the JUB scene, there has been no more exuberant fan of Gay Stories. I don't know what you were doing to get your rocks off before, but it's been a pleasure helping you out with this project.

TimWhite07: "HR, i love you to. You are a great and talented author and a amazing friend. I love it would we get to talk online. It truly brightens my day." I think I would edit that to read, 'It truly makes me hard, horny and happy.' And for the record, I really enjoy getting hard, horny and happy talking to you too. Working on the project "Bound By Cum" with you and your friends was such an incredible turn-on for me. You are a great guy. Always willing to share. Always happy to turn me on. Even happy to help me get my rocks off. So it will happen again. Hopefully soon.

NothingtoSay: "I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said so I think I'll end this here by saying a big Thank You to all of you guys." During the past year, I have seen such incredible development in you. It has been a pleasure watching you change and grow and learn to enjoy yourself and others. Keep at it. You're on the right track, my special friend.

PerpetuallyHard312: "It goes without saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every chapter and I"m sad to see the project end. But as the saying goes "all good things must come to an end". But that doesn't mean that this is the end of our friendship HR as well as others that I've befriended through JUB." For those of you who have not had a chance to read my project with PH entitled 'Why I Am Perpetually Hard,' I highly recommend it. In getting to know PH online, I realized that like so many friends I have made at JUB, he had an incredible story to tell. And in his case, he was willing to share it with all of you. He's an amazing guy ... and not just because he usually gets off 8 to 12 times a day. Read his story and you'll see why he is such a friend.

Matt89: "This story has meant a lot to me and I am glad you posted it HR. Thankyou." You and I have had some great times and some rough times. I'm glad you're back posting on JUB and also glad the hard times seem to be over for you.

Kyanimal: "There have been many, many, subjects covered in addition to all the HOT sex! And, I'm sure that countless readers have learned, and discovered, things we were not aware of, even about ourselves, through the tremendous, open, sharing of your lives, and that extends to HR, too!" As much as the guys and I love knowing we're getting guys like you to blow load after load after load of your hot jizz with this project, the real reason we devoted ourselves to it for so long was the belief, as you have said so well, that there was a chance to help readers learn lessons that could help them in their own lives. Thanks.

jamietaf: "its soo awesome see that after everything jess has been through that he has found true love (jess is and has been my favorite since the begging of it all ) and i like tom alot too even tho he came in the end but tom jess and paul are my favorites (nothing against billy and justin )" I have asked hundreds of readers which of the guys that most connected with and Jess has repeatedly been the No. 1 choice. So don't apologize. Not that the others don't have their legions of fans, but Jess seemed to strike a special chord inside so many readers. I am not sure why. I'd love to hear any ideas readers have about why Jess or any of the guys touched your lives. Thanks, Jamie.

Well, I better move on. But I wanted to say that one thing I have done lately is to start actively posting pictures in my profile gallery. So take a minute and flip through some of my favorite pictures. And if you're really astute, maybe you'll be able to figure out why two of the pictures have a special relevance to ITIK fans.

The guys have all agreed that if someone can identify the two pictures and their significance to the ITIK project, we will publicly confirm your guess. Let us know what you think.

Until next time, stay happy. And stay hard!

Hi Guys
I just wanted to say that I have loved all three parts and this last has been my favourite, not because of all the sex (which was great) but because of the love story behind it all.
I hope when I fall in love it would turn out just as passionate, loving and as beautiful as this lol I can dream lol

There's so much I want to say about this story. I feel bad about not leaving comments as I read through each chapter.
I've recently just joined but have for a long time been reading the story boards and so with my first post on JUB I'd like to say to you guys - HR, Jess & Paul........
Thankyou for the great story, the great writing and the honesty when it came to sharing your story - given all the emotions and feelings, and putting the vulnerability of finding yourself/ life in general into a story for other people to read is a real feat to share.

It's been great reading, and Im sad to see the end but I wish you guys all the best

 

[thermodynamics]

What a wonderful end! I'm so happy for Jess to have found his Man.

And it is gratifying that you, like so many others who comment, came to love the project because in some way it gave you hope that you too could have such a future too. We wish you the very best.

thermodynamics -- "What a wonderful end! I'm so happy for Jess to have found his Man." You've been a fan for so long. It is amazing to think how many guys like you have been following our project for so many months . . . even years. There was a time when I thought this project might end on a much darker note, at least for Jess. But life has a wonderful way of surprising us all.

This project has also been posted at Nifty after it first appeared on JUB. I just wanted to share a couple of comments from Nifty readers who have recently finished reading it:

John B. -- "I have read the entire trilogy and I must say how much I have enjoyed it. I especially have enjoyed Jess and Paul's story. I have been in a loveless marriage for many years always wondering why that was. I have finally come out to myself, my wife and my kids. It is excruciatingly painful but at the same time liberating. I now feel I can look for my true love. I know my Paul or Billy is out there, and like Jess I intend to make sure he knows how much he is loved each and every day. . . . I feel like I know you all. To bear your souls, and sexual lives like you have, reminds guys like me that it's ok to be gay, and that there are real people living the life I want to live, and it's not just a fantasy."

Jimmy W. -- "I was drawn to this story for the actual story and it was very worth it. I like to read the good old love stories, and this one was the best yet. I must admit that yes I got my rocks off (this should make you and Billy both very happy men) but it was kinda hard not to with all the sex scenes in it. . . . there was never a question or a doubt in mind about my sexuality, but like Billy I never wanted to be gay (none of us really do at first). So I tried to think of ways around it. Yeah that didn't work out but I am glad it didn't I am happy being gay, open and proud. Like Jess I am searching for love. When I read book 3 I started really looking at, and correct me if I am wrong, Jess, you weren't really looking to discover sexuality, it was like you were just looking for love anywhere you could. The need to be loved and wanted is not a bad thing and I am happy you found it in Paul. . . . I will say this if anyone has read this without so much as a standing ovation and a little twitch here there, they weren't reading your story."

Thanks again to all of you who have faithfully read our project and a special thanks to those who have commented. I'll do my best to keep you updated about meaningful events in the guys' lives.

Don't forget to check out the photo gallery I am posting with my profile. I hope you enjoy it. Until next time stay happy. And stay hard!

 

[DonQuixote]

HR, I've started to peruse your photo gallery. How could we expect anything less from you, lol. I suspect I know what I'm supposed to be looking for, in particular, not that ALL the pics aren't great.

The hard part (other than some parts of anatomy) is figuring out which two pics out of that whole, great collection, are "the" ones.

It'd be great to hear from the guys if they have a chance. I'm sure their new lives have got them busy.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

[jimmyblue]

Thank you to Jess, Paul, Billy and Justin for putting your lives out there the way you have. And thank you HR for your time and effort into writing this wonderful master piece for all of to share. I am sorry to see this story come to an end (hopefully only for now ). I hope to hear more from the guys and you HR lettings us all know how you are doing.

Take care and best wishes for you all.

 

[JizzedJeansMatt]

Wow! What a finale! I want to thank Jess and Paul so much for allowing us to read their story, it's a truly great love story, and I wish you guys all the best!

I've been trawling through Hardreader's gallery and am completely confused as to which pictures it could be..
I've narrowed it down to a few options, but I just don't know!
Got quite excited when I saw a pic of twins, but it was from a site! haha!
THIS

is one that stood out for me, as it COULD be Jess, though I have a feeling he would never have let you post a picture of him..
The second pic ["http://www.justusboys.com/forum/view.php?photos=212555&id=353927&title=10-can-you-name&sortorder=&sortby=0"] mainly caught my eye because of the title, and the incredible hotness of the three guys. I'm guessing this is a professional shot, and that they COULDN'T be the three guys, but whatever! I thought I'd give it a shot anyways!


Thanks for a great series!

PS: I just found another possible- ["http://www.justusboys.com/forum/view.php?photos=212555&id=343649&title=codyfl16jpg&sortorder=&sortby=0"]. Again, it looks like another professional shot that I just don't recognise, but the model bears a certain resemblance to a guy who featured in a few of Justin's drawings on his profile: ["http://www.justusboys.com/forum/view.php?photos=224113&id=269443&title=playing-around&sortorder=1&sortby=0"] and ["http://www.justusboys.com/forum/view.php?photos=224113&id=272707&title=hi-guys&albumid=30272&sortorder=1&sortby=0"].

Gah! I'm obsessing over this too much- I should be studying for exams!!

Sorry I couldn't link properly- I haven't made 25 posts yet!

 

[DonQuixote]

I haven't forgetten about the sexy scavenger hunt through HardReaders Galleries.

Maybe over Christmas vacation I'll be able to find the privacy and the time to take good, HARD, analytical looks at the pics (as opposed to the quick, aren't they all good looking studs cursory view) and see if I can Cum Up with my guesses.

I hope all is going well for all of our various guys - the new Lone Star State residents, the trio "someplace else", and our transplants to near "THE City". Merry Christmas to all and the Happiest of New Years!

Matt --

It's great hearing from you again. We haven't chatted in ages and I really enjoyed chatting with you. So glad you finished reading the project and enjoyed it so much. I'll trust it relieved a lot of stress in your jizzed jeans. I wonder what they looked like when you were done. BTW I love that you picked the name JizzedJeansMatt. You'd fit right in with Justin and Billy and Tom.

As for the pictures, your mind is working in all the right directions, so here's a little clue or two. While none of the guys has ever had pictures taken by any studio as far as I know, they do know more than one professional photographer quite well. Also keep in mind, there could be one or more ringers in a picture. One or more of the guys from our project just might be pictured with a guy or guys not from this project.

Good luck with your search!

 

[JizzedJeansMatt]

Well I'm confused!
Anyone else wanna give it a shot while I trawl through the pics again?..

Good to hear from you too, HR, I left you an IM!

Haha, glad to hear I'd fit in with the guys! God woud I love to XD

Hi H.R.

I recently come across your story. I read three of them and loving it. I am not only love your story I like the way you treat your reader. You respect them and communicate with them . On each post you do communicate with your reader and reply and answer their questions their suggestion and concern and a little hint to what will coming. Also you do complete your whole project.

I can tell you are a responsible person. IN JUB there are many good writers and tell good stories. but not all of them completed their project. they just let their reader hanging in high and dry with no conclusion of the story at the same time start another new project. Every now and then they show mercy and through in a chapter to update the story. I am sure other reader will agree with me that if you care about the story you want to know the conclusion or the ending of it. I appreciate your stories and the way you communicate. I hope you will have time start a new project soon. All the best. Thank you.

Andrew

Andrew,
HR is a great author. To your observations regarding some other authors - a lot of the authors here are College guys, for whom writing is either a way to relax and unwind, or sometimes a way to explore their own feelings. (Not exclusively college guys, some middle aged ones facing the same questions.)

As is often the case, REAL life necessarily trumps play time.
And, for some, their life situations change, either yanking them away from here or, fulfilling a need that the writing was searching to accomplish.

Don't think ill of them for not finishing - know that something more important in their lives trumped their ability/desire to share.

Also you do complete your whole project."

It is good to hear from you and to know that there are still readers discovering this project. I have always tried to be considerate of others in writing and publishing the "I Thought I Knew" series and also my smaller projects. My first responsibility was always to the people who were sharing their lives through my writing. And because of that there were more than a few days I thought some of those project could never be completed. I could not and would not write without the consent and cooperation of the people opening up the most intimate moments and thoughts for others to share and learn from. Yes, and of course, to jack off to.

Like you, I have been frustrated through the years with authors who leave stories incomplete, particularly those that have run to some length. You get to feel familiar with them and expect to enjoy getting off with them and then . . . Nothing but a raging boner and nothing to get off to.

But I have also had the privilege and pleasure to spend some time chatting with those same authors on line. I understand the personal issues in their lives that have brought their writing to an end.

I'm not sure which three of my projects you have read, but I hope you will explore some of the shorter projects. You will find some of the people they are about still active on JUB and, I can attest, they are really nice people.

Thanks so much for your comments. Reading them was a great way to start my day. Now go off and read some more. Until next time be sure to stay happy. And stay hard! Always stay hard!

 

[andrew thomas]

Hi H,R,

I read I think I know book 1 and 2 . Jess's Story and your other two short stories.

I am not only like the sex part but story line is very important as well.

I had been checking other story sites I found JUB is the best. I find the setting and the way authors post in the site and the feedback from readers make the story more interesting and very easy to read for this I have to give JUB a thumb up.

Thank you and keep up your good work. are you working on another big project ? I look forward to see more. thanks again.

 

[justanothershyguy]

I'm writing here too, this deserves a boost as much as the first two books did. This story, like the last, I will read again, but I need some time for my brain to regenerate the emotion lost the past couple of days! (Okay, mainly today, but whatever!). Congratulations to Paul and Jess! I'm so happy for you both!

HR, you know how I feel about the whole series. I've told you that and I've told them that. Like I said in my comment on the first two books, this has had a greater impact on my life than I ever expected. I'm so glad, too. Thanks for reaching out and having me read this! It means a lot to me!

Matt

I feel that I am losing 4 wonderful friends. I wish you all the best for your future and hope you are all happy and well. Thanks

 

[wirelesswhisper]

Well that was another absolutely wonderful read. Lots of sex! Challenges, triumphs a bit of heart ache & tears! Laughter and joy! There is truly nothing missing! Pictures aren't even necessary! I found that the way it was written (and of course told by the boys) the fact that everything was so descriptive, I physically felt like I was in the room each time a cock was sucked, played with, jerked off or slipped smoothly into a tight lubed up hole!
Once again this group of guys have put their story out there for us to enjoy and absorb all the little details of their coming of age and finding themselves and each other and allowing us to come along for the ride. And what an exciting ride it was !
The introduction of Paul was fantastic! Another great addition to the story! He seemed to fit in so well with Jess, Billy, Justin, Tom and of course HR!
I am curious about how Anne took the news? I'm guessing Paul must have told her something to end what she thought might be the beginning of something lol
Like all the rest that have read these stories HR, I definitely loved it from start to finish and am a little saddened that this is the end. I remember you mentioning in an earlier post on this thread that you were working on another story with PerpetuallyHard? Guess I'll have to snoop around and check that out next
Any chance you've considered putting your own life story out there HR? I'm sure it would be every bit as tantalizing and bone hardening as was Jess, Paul, Billy, Justin's and Toms!

My hats off to you all.....well actually it's my jeans and briefs that are off.......I'm sure that's been said by all your fans!
Cheers
Allan
