Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

All righty folks, before I go to bed, I  have an important Dupree-Related Announcement:

I have made a commitment to write a follow-on Dupree story, which will answer the question once and for all - what does Dupree want?  It will continue past the end of the Saga proper.

[Lumière]

very true Milli.

very very true.  What would YOU do with a naked, helpless Dupree laying in bed, right there before you?

Like NV said, I'd .. umm .. tuck him in!  Yes, that's what I'd do!   
(Yap, that was a "T" at the start of the word, not the other letter that precedes "G")    ..lol

Excellent! Excellent Louise!

I needed to post this picture again because....

well, because I have confession to make. Sometimes fan art just doesn't work for me. That is not a statement against the fan artists--here, Lucise, mostly, but we have also had Quiplash contribute some pictures. No, it is just that the genre is just sometimes not to my taste.
But this picture...I keep coming back to it and I keep looking at it. The images work, the iconography works but more than that...I have finally gotten the moment I have craved...getting to see a real, hot, E&E kiss. Look at this...they don't know I am watching. They are completely involved in the moment. Their eyes are closed, they exist only for each other. I am truly what we have all wanted to be...the fly on the wall

Lucise, this might be the ultimate THUD picture (well, ultimate that we can post here on Bettermost). Thanks for creating this, I love it.

Hugs to you,
Leslie

Thank Louis; big  relieve !

 this situation with Dupree is getting more and more hectic, after reading last chapter I almost started to scream :Mr. Chief Deputy to the rescue!!! Your assistant is going to be “desecrated”. 

I hope he is the one able keeping his head cold while everyone is eager to have Jeremy tested right away.
Boy is confused beyond the limits and now not aware about what he is doing to himself, god he needs to breathe, needs to take his time to save himself in some quiet place from us all his head is going to pop otherwise.

I would never thought that Jeeves  - gentleman  is capable of taking advantage of drunken boy thought not completely unconscious still …However, how can he be content with himself having  his object of desire only “stoned“ in his arms and giving him his firs time experience?
Don’t kill me I turned to be mother hen for Dupree  now !

Jeeves  ..
(we haven't done one of these in a while .. )


Jeeves has just left Jeremy's apartment.  He tries to maintain his composure like a proper gent should.
He stands outside the building and looks towards Dupree's apartment, as if he can see through the walls  ...




He thinks for a second about the leggy, fuming blonde he'd met some minutes before ..



"Does Dupree love her?," he wonders.
"That young man is breaking my heart", he thinks ..
He hails a cab and finally gets home .. he takes off his wool coat and hat  .. and steps into the parlour ..





His mind still spinning, he pours himself a glass of brandy ..



.. anything to help him relax.
All he can think about is Dupree lying naked in his bed, so beautiful, so vulnerable, so warm ..




Jeeves picks up the antique Robinson Crusoe novel he started reading the night before, he settles down in his study .. still no luck ..




Ah, what's a man to do when he is falling in love ..
His novel long forgotten in his lap, Jeeves allows his mind to wander, as he ponders the matter of Dupree .. wondering if things would've been different if he'd met Dupree when he was 20 years younger ...

.  What would YOU do with a naked, helpless Dupree laying in bed, right there before you?

I would strip naked and climb into bed and spoon with him.    Hoping that when he woke up he would be sober enough to appreciate the new found company!

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful photo series Milli!

One thing's for sure: Either Dupree has to take the bull by the horns or some other determined party is going to have to take his balls by the horns.

There has been some ambivalence about Jeeves and some of us may have an uninspiring picture of him in our minds. Perhaps the following image will increase enthusiasm for the Jeeves option:

YES!!!!!!

I was just horrified to think Jeeves was actually contemplating having sex with Dupree in that state !
Thank god he passed out!.

If anything happens between him and Dupree (and I vote an enthusiastic YES), than our boy Jeremy has to make a conscious decision to go to him. And rather  scared and sober that drunk and disoriented ....

Anything else seems just ...well, for a lack of better word, exploitative...

What a disaster this could have turned into, if they did get it on, and Dupree wakes up naked and disoriented, feeling used, and hating both himself and Jeeves for taking advantage of him...

Did I mention I am just LOVING this story line???



Also - YAY for the Dupree story going on, Louise. Thank you!!
