Status Updates From Dirty Hit

Started off well and then just became something else. 3 stars for the relationship. The repetition, melodrama, Christian bashing and parents as poor role models killed the joy.

PLEASE can we stop with the aide-mémoires. Characters are familiar without having to reference the SAME thing every time they're on the page e.g Brendon, his bag and his bag strap. Is it like Clark Kent and his glasses? Is Brendon not recognisable without his bag? Without a bag just a regular student, part of the crowd. But with it he's the phenomenal TA and current obsession of the star quarterback.

Ok I don't get this muttering aloud to self in a public place, just looking for trouble IMO. Plus I get it Brendon, you've said and I retain information once conveyed. Dominic, your Daddy - he has accepted this responsibility - is a demi god of epic proportions. Beloved on the field and campus. 6ft 4 inches of cut muscle, buff in all the right place including tattoos. Now stop drooling and just watch the game FFS.

Dominic and Brendon's first full scene and I'm left thinking 'Jeez who is this guy?'
Dominic is mature, reflective and caring. How, why? Is he a natural Dom or made?
Brendon's submissive behaviour is almost instinctive.

Interesting

"I don’t play with my food—I consume it. Do you understand?”

People can and do wear more than one face.

Brendon on Dominic.
“I think you are a good person in ways that make no sense with the rest of you.”

Dominic has Brendon's measure. Insightful.
“I’m not chained to anything,” he bites out.

Sure. He can say that all he wants, but I don’t need a collar or a chain to know he’s leashed. He’s already tethered to this—to me—he just doesn’t realize how little slack there is in that chain yet.

It’s all in the way he tugged me back from the exit just now without knowing why. He can’t help it.

Good boys never can."

It almost felt like he was going to monologue someone to death. Thankfully that was my misunderstanding and regular killing commenced

"I’ve always believed that if I’m going to take something from someone, I owe them the respect of being present for it. I owe them that much honesty."
