So far I'm only on chapter 21 and I'm really enjoying the story. I know that Keeran is trying to get closer to Devin, and I know that he is trying but I just don't see a relationship or the potential for any true emotions between the two.
I mean, Keeran hates Devin's last master but he honestly isn't all that much better and in the beginning I'm sure that what Devin has had to experience under Keeran's care has been exponentially worse than anything he had to experience from his last owner -at least from the snipet of his life we got to see before he was taken. Plus, Keeran's sudden desire to want more from Devin seems almost...selfish and a bit random. Almost like he wants what he wants, whether that be Devin's affection or trust or sex but without really giving a hoot about what Devin wants, or actually EARNING it especially the way his mood swings r. It's almost as if he is forcing himself onto Devin, what with him always trying to snuugle, when devin is clearly uncomfortable, or trying to fool around when devin is sick...i mean the kid has been through a lot in life, who'd think he'd be more understanding of that...it just seems forced. Plus, I've noticed that Keeran, seems to want Devin to forget about what he has been taught but Keeran is also conditioning or "training" him to be a certain way too.
I really want to see a connection between Devin and Keeran but if I'm being honest, I feel a stronger bond b/w Joey and Devin than with Keeran and Devin. I find myself feeling more inclined to want something to develop b/w the two....Joey isn't perfect but I feel like there is a lot of potential there...and he already seems to have Devin's trust. The same way that Devin cried over Oscar but didn't think twice about his master, I can imagine that happening if anything were to happen...plus it would be interesting to see how keeran or even Joey would react if Devin were to develope feelings for Joey..

Despite that, I really do enjoy devin's character...all his emotions-inclusing the irrational ones- seem completely realistic for someone in his situation.
Can't wait to read the rest :)

sooo I'm on ch.31 and I'm a bit confused.....since when is Keeran the one to tell Joey not to pester Devin about his food....and since when is Joey the one to try and force him to eat....and since when does Devin choose to lean against Keeran when scared as opposed to Joey?

I'm sorry but the Keeran that I'm seeing in this chapter or for the past three chapters isn't the same character that i've been reading about thus far. I mean how does one go from having mood swings almost every chapter-going as far as to hit Devin for going to pee- yet do absolutely nothing and show no anger about Devin leaving the house. I get that you are trying to make Keeran seem better, but now he just seems unrealistic.

I'm not really getting Devin's actions either...I mean on one hand, he can't even sleep with Keeran b/c he's on edge and gets uncomfortable to the point of nausea when touched by Keeran, can barely get it up or feel connected when Keeran is in him yet on the other hand, Keeran's scent "does something to his body" that isn't anxiety or fear. It doesn't really add up to me.

Anyhoo, I'm curious to see what's up with Joey and Keeran...and I feel bad for saying this but when Devin feel asleep in Joey's lap, I was so dissapointed to realize that Keeran had taken snake's place....I really hope that Joey doesn't get with someone else.lol

So I finished the story....and I can't say that I'm particularly moved my Keeran. I mean he's telling Devin to just pretend like all the horrible stuff Keeran did to him in the past never happened....I mean yeah I guess you r trying to show that he has changed but one would think that by now he'd at least apologize for his past actions...or admit that they happened. Plus I really don't see how getting Devin dependent on Keeran is healthy...I mean forcing him to take showers with him, always wanting to sleep with him, wanting him constantly in his room....it all just seems sooo forced. I guess that's the root of my issue with Keeran, he just seems like he's trying to force intimacy whereas the interaction b/w Joey and Devin seems...natural. Joey had to be around Devin wich explains their relationship but why is Keeran so attached?..no one really knows what changed his interest...plus a rich tycoon like keeran, why is he interested in a teen like devin?

Plus this whole Keeran having to be the one to get Joey to leave Devin alone just seems too far out....it's like one minute Keeran was this horndog that had to have sex with Devin every chance he could get and had mood swings worse than a bi-polar patient, then one chapter I look up and he's like a completely different character, one who barely gets angry anymore, who has refused all sex-prolly wating for Devin to initiate, which seems unrealistic- and is the clam mature one out of him and Joey.

I'm not saying that people can't change but I think you started Keeran off too horrible of an individual, for him to now be some sort of saint...he started off just too extreme and volatile for me to actually believe that within a couple of months (that is, if we r starting from when the sex stopped) that now Keeran has learned the error of his ways and now Devin is comfortable with him....if anything Devin jsut seems dependent on him...my bet is that he probably won't be able to relax in a room by himself, or shower by himself without feeling wierd.

Initially, when I read this story, I was all for the dark-haired, exotic Keeran to step up and be the man that devin needs, but with every chapter I can't help but to feel sorry if Devin were to end up with Keeran b/c he'd still never truly feel free to be himself...it'd always be a false comfort b/c keeren conditioned Devin to get used to his constant presence and sexual touches.

The formatting for the new chapter's gotten screwed up somewhere along the line. I've battled on to read it, I must admit though, simply because I can't get enough of this story!

It is very lovely of you to have updated XD Don't forget about 'Forever Ignored' too (I love that story).

Yay! A new update! Poor Devin...he really has difficulty understanding that people change and his circumstances have changed as well. I thought that maybe he had had a breakthrough last chapter when he realized that Keeran really was being kind to him in the shower but it seems not. I really hope Ronan can help explain things to Devin and maybe make him really understand what is going on. And Keeran better have bought Devin some presents for Christmas.

Awesome - thanks for updating! I check every day to see if I have more traxie to read. Aw, poor Devin: he just spends his life in torment that the past will repeat again. I don't think Keeran is going to get off that easy: Ronan will deifnitely pick that all is not well. This story is just as riveting as ever.

Please update! I live for this fic! :)

Where did you go? I love this story and I cant wait to find out what is going to happen!

LOVE this story, can't wait for the next chapter!
