Actually he’s a dick.

Glaucon

I think it's pretty clear he's an asshole at the very least haha

Chinookfan72

being hyperbolic is fun.

RCH

Very good! :)

DavidnDaria

LMAO!!!!!!! Seriously, bro! That's rich!

Chinookfan72

insight into why he’s doing it would be nice. If Josh is actually a POS I have no problem with how Devlin is treating Josh. And if Devlin lying to kimmy about texting Josh is evidence he’s an asshole or a sociopath then the majority of men are assholes and sociopaths because I’m sure most of us would have denied it too in that situation. Everyone assumes Josh is a good guy and a victim.. But why? sure he and his wife seem to think so.. But Bernie Madoff and his wife thought Bernie was a pretty good guy too. The story we are being told is biased based on the pov we are getting the information.

DavidnDaria

Yep, insight like tellling Josh he's alread bagged Kimmy. Like Devlin telling Josh that he asked for it. Like Devlin texting Josh. Like Devlin lying about it all and coming up with a really specious story about Josh really asking to be bullied. Yep.

DavidnDaria

It'd be better if it was a polish sausage.

Chinookfan72

Ultimately for me to say one way or the other we need more insight into Devlin. We certainly know he’s being an asshole to Josh, but to me being an asshole specifically to one person does not make you an asshole generally.. Also we don’t know Devlin’s motives for treating Josh this way. Josh has his story about Devlin’s friend beating him up, but what if Josh tried to poison Devlin’s cat and no one did anything about it so Devlin just decided to make Josh suffer for what Josh did to his cat cause the police couldn’t prove anything? Same with the sociopath question, he certainly can be, but we have no idea if he has a conscience or not (KT doesn’t prove us with his pov). The tv analogy doesn’t hold water for me though because a) stealing a tv is a crime and having sex with a married woman is not b) Kimmy isn’t property, she has agency and can make up her own mind (Devlin isn’t forcing her to do anything she doesn’t want to do) c) Devlin has no duty to respect their relationship, he isn’t Josh’s friend doesn’t respect him as a man and for all we know he could be 100% sincere when he tells Kimmy she can do better, and for all we know Devlin could be right.

Chinookfan72

From what KT said the sexual stuff is covering multiple chapters so i’d say next chapter won’t be the climax..

It’s easy to call Devlin an asshole or sociopath but if I had his attributes maybe I’d take whatever I wanted too.

CSH

I don’t know. Seems to me he’s a nice guy. Just a little misunderstood. We should think of him as a relationship therapist.

RCH

I vote both. He is good at playing the part of a normal. He may even step into the realm of the psychopath it would take some in person observation to determine it. Ted Bundy was good at playing the part of a normal. Not saying Kimmy or Josh will end up in a shallow grave or anything it's just he see's them as toys to play with.

RCH

BNR I knew there was something I liked about you! Archer is the best! I haven't seen it since NetFlix stopped carrying it.

BNR

Agreed! To quote Dr. Krieger from ARCHER "STOP! My penis can only get so erect."

BNR

Both! But absolutely a virus that seeks only self gratification at the expense of WHATEVER it costs anybody else. You can *WANT* many TVs in you home but if you go & steal TVs from other people to satisfy your *WANTS*, you become both AN "ass·hole - noun VULGAR - 1. a person's anus. 2. a stupid, irritating, or contemptible person." AND A "so·ci·o·path - noun - a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience." But that's what chic's dig, right? XD

DavidnDaria

Next question: Do you think Devlin is an asshole or sociopath? Both?

Assume in our next installment (in addition to Devlin finally “landing the deal”) we will see Josh discover Kimmie isn’t in the restaurant. No doubt that will set off all his worst “fears” (which we know are actually true). Does he confront Kimmie right away? I suspect not...Kimmie could have a legitimate excuse for not being at the restaurant (they went up to one of the rooms for a meeting), and Josh will not want the embarrassment of being discovered spying on Kimmie...not yet at least. I suspect he’ll continue to torture himself and dance along the edges of finding out what’s really happening. Will Devlin tell him something? I have to admit I’m not entirely sure what his game is with Josh...I suspect it isn’t straight bullying/humiliation. I think Devlin knows Josh is kind of getting off on this...not saying he’s doing it because of that, but I don’t think he’s doing it solely to humiliate Josh and ruin his life. Mostly I want the next chapter to finally be the “climax” (pun intended) for Devlin and Kimmie. I haven’t been edged like this in a long time. I enjoy the torture, but not this much torture.

BNR

I think he vomits when he sees her, clear after glow and that look like she slept fully clothed. Just pops up that dog.

RCH

One thing that is undeniable is KT's ability to dream up twists and turns that will surprise us readers. KT is the erotic incarnation of chaos theory. One small insignificant detail can lead to profound events later. What is the significance of Josh eating sauerkraut on his hotdog? Or the fact that he didn't finish it? What is the symbolism of Josh eating a hotdog? Is it just a hotdog or much more?

Donkatsu

Ya think?

CSH

Yes. Expect he will only see her leaving and will see enough to make him suspicious but not to confirm anything. Maybe KT has a surprise in store for us?

Tracey52

Think Josh will still be there when Kimmy leaves the hotel?

BNR

I know KT is really enjoying writing these characters, but the GROWTH IS INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to finish this series ans get the rest of the others finished and new ones released also!!!

RCH

Wow, the buildup is incredible!

Chinookfan72

Fantastic as always.. gonna try and hold out on reading from here on out to see if I’m able to withhold.. It won’t be easy.

CSH

And this is just the buildup.

DavidnDaria

Yep, great chapter. Man, talk about slow burn.

JamesIsAsleep

I had a fun time picturing a distraught Josh hunched over, leaned up against a brick wall holding a hot dog and an orange soda, deep in thought and nauseous. Maybe a drawing in the future?

Donkatsu

The shoes, the lingerie, the orgasm - wow! Kimmy has become, in the incomparable words of Sir Harry Flashman, "A gilded strumpet." Great chapter, KT.
