THE TWINK & THE JOCK (M+/M) *NEW CHAPTER: JULY 21*

[Bradstick]

A fantastic ending to this story! I got to say, I want not expecting that ending but I can’t say it wasn’t better than I what I imagined. Sammy ending with Chad makes sense and I love the relationship the two have. Fantastic ending, I can’t wait to see what else you have planned for these characters, after all, we now have three allegeable bachelors in need of pseudo consorts!

I completely understand why Sammy now prefers Chad to Hunter, knowing that it could have also gone Brody's way.

First, there's the issue of security: Sammy really had a rough time with Brody. He needed someone to truly protect him from this madman. Unless he submitted 100%, he couldn't continue with Brody—which is literally the equivalent of a 24-hour extreme sports session. Sammy wouldn't have been able to last. And the only one who truly offered him that protection was Chad. He was the most active, but above all, the most influential in every situation. Sammy quickly understood that in the end, everything depended on Chad.

Chad also scored points against Hunter precisely because of his involvement. Hunter, unfortunately, remained too passive, not present enough. So honestly, who would you choose? A guy who stays in the background while you're literally tortured by atomic stinky farts and socks that would wake the dead? Or a guy who's 100% involved, who sometimes gives you a break, and even better—a guy who enforces that break by sitting you on his lap, asserting his presence?

I myself have a huge crush on Hunter, who, in my opinion, is perfect. But he's still disappointing in this whole thing, to be honest. There are opportunities he's missed. Even in a similar situation, I might end up abandoning Hunter for Chad. I tend to prefer the soft side, but if I'm forced into the hard side, I'll always end up enjoying it more—after swallowing a big glob of pure, pure fear saliva, LOL.

Well, even at the end, you can see that Hunter is caring and could have made a great man for Sammy. But I think either he's not interested enough in Sammy, or he just doesn't see himself in that kind of relationship with a man.

(No matter what, I'm always available for Hunter if he wants me, LOL.)

2. Second point: I did read the last chapter. I'll include the excerpt here:

"He's down there." Hunter calmly reassured me, stepping up behind my slightly narrower frame and nodding toward the large bed where our team captain slept. "We released him just a few hours after he went to bed last night. Chad took him in. I wanted to make sure the little guy stayed safe and out of trouble," he continued, speaking quietly so as not to wake his roommate.

This passage tells me that Hunter watched over Sammy passively. I admit that, of course. I'm going to assume this is a French translation error, but to me, it all says Hunter watched over Sammy by entrusting him to Chad—or that he would have intervened if he felt Sammy was only safe with him or someone else.

Ahhhh eh bien voilà. This is 100% a flawed translation issue. The excerpt you shared is not what I wrote. Your translation tool is adding words where none should be added. This seems insignificant, but in some cases (such as this one), it changes the meaning of a sentence completely.

This is the excerpt you shared:

"He's down there." Hunter calmly reassured me, stepping up behind my slightly narrower frame and nodding toward the large bed where our team captain slept. "We released him just a few hours after he went to bed last night. Chad took him in. I wanted to make sure the little guy stayed safe and out of trouble," he continued, speaking quietly so as not to wake his roommate.

Look at the original text. There is no "I" in what Hunter said. The original text reads: "He's under there." Hunter calmly assured me, stepping in behind my slightly narrower frame and motioning his head towards the large bed where our burly team captain slept. "We freed him just a few hours after going to bed last night. Chad took him in. Wanted to make sure the little guy stayed safe and out of trouble." he went on, speaking to me in a low tone so as not to wake up his roommate.

The absence of the I is critical to this sentence. Hunter is saying that Chad took Sam to bed because Chad wanted him safe and out of trouble.

Well, at least I know for sure

That's a reasonable analysis, @sock slave boy.

Well, even at the end, you can see that Hunter is caring and could have made a great man for Sammy. But I think either he's not interested enough in Sammy, or he just doesn't see himself in that kind of relationship with a man.

Bingo! I think this is something a lot of readers might tend to forget when reading my stories. Many, if not most of the characters are not necessarily interested in other guys, let alone romantic relationships with other guys. Some (eg: Kyle, Shawn, etc) may partake in one-sided sexual activities if it suits or benefits them, but they have no ulterior or romantic motives beyond that of self-gratification and the fulfilment of their own sexual needs. For others (eg: Brody), it may simply be a means of power exchange.

I will forego confirming anything, so as not to spoil a possible - and highly probable - sequel (should you guys still want one) but it may very well be that Hunter simply was never interested in Sammy, at least not in the way many of you were hoping for.

I don’t know what to say, this whole story was a 10/10, good job bro

[OrdinaryWorld]

A satisfying conclusion to an excellent story!

[socjuc]

Well he does it again, @bondagefreak throws us a curve ball!

I should have known that Chad with his aloof demeanor and limited participation would swoop in and take over. I like that, that he seemed distant and let the others have their fun, and then just claimed Sammy

Looking forward always to the story extensions! And perhaps Brody overstepping?

[ShadowHusky]

What a fascinating ending to a really engaging tale. This really was amazing to see from start to end; and it's so wonderful to see how you've grown as a writer through the near decade I've been following your stories. Looking back, the progress and interest of Chad was heavily referenced and Hunter was a red herring. I find Sammy's situation rather intriguing and I'm glad he has found himself so comfortably fallen into that role. It was so interesting to hear to that almost sort of bitterness underlying the writing of this final chapter from Mark. He seems like he, himself, has a lot of things to contend with mentally on the situation and this was far from a welcome, but not entirely unwelcome, change. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

[Bound Down]

Great ending! Love that Sammy ended up getting a happy ending through such a long weekend.

[Stormee]

Even after the weekend of intense bondage and hazing, Sammy is happy in the end. Least the bondage still happens when Brody or Hunter come pick him up. All and all, what a great story this was and quite the adventure for Sammy.

[Bradstick]

I will forego confirming anything, so as not to spoil a possible - and highly probable - sequel (should you guys still want one)

”Should you guys still want one” like anyone would complain about a sequel with those four hunks!!! I’m already on Matt withdrawals

[GoBucks]

Wouldn't have expected Chad and Sammy to be endgame, but I love it. Looks like Brody needs a new victim, maybe Mark?

I think this may be my favorite of your stories. Each and every chapter was very stimulating

Relieved to hear we still have a lot more to hear from Sammy!
