Holy goddesses Mirage. I need more please. 

Yes finally I know you must feel some relief. I do too.

Damn this verbal foreplay though is so 🔥 🥵 🔥 🥵 HOT 

"

Oh, you know me," Jarod said with a low drawl, swirling the remaining splash of wine in his glass, "l always save room for dessert."

Parker drank more of her wine, and laughed quietly. "You are quite the enthusiast, and, mm, that isn't just lip service."

"If it is I've been doing it wrong for thirty years,"

More!

Little Debbie all grown up and kicking ass and taking names. Parker would love that if she remembered Debbie. I hope they are as close as they were before. Zachary again. Where is he? All these years later and that kid still goes MIA. 

The verbal foreplay is delicious I have to say. If there had been no drugs and heavy reprogramming and no DV and no sexual violence and they had just been together normally I'd feel better about loving the verbal foreplay. 

The bigger problem is that I can see this happening. Jarod is nuts sometimes, he goes too far. This is so plausible and it's scary because it IS plausible. 

I want more. I always want more. Please make it so Mirage.

Oh wows Mirage. 

First of all

DEBBIE! She is amazing. Debbie schooled Jarod so epically. Damn. Just damn girl.

"Stings? GOOD!" 

Maerta is perfect. CosbyING their drinks. Ooomph. True though. Where is the lie? I love that the team pursuing Jarod have consciences and struggle to do to Jarod what Jarod did to Parker, to catch Jarod, and save Parker.

I worry tho. Where is Zachary? 

Oh, but you really subtly showed Jarod's ownership of Parker "WE don't believe in hell." 

I can't imagine what is next. Jarod seems confident. Debbie seems confident. I didn't even imagine Debbie playing such a central role here. She came in like a whole wrecking ball. Powerful. I love it. I can see it. It makes sense.  

SO glad to see Sam! 

Like you, I love Sam. He's still quite handsome. His real name is Sam, too. 

Oomph, I want more and I want it now. 

Thank you!

Ooh, bravo. All the bravos. This chapter opens with a familiar Pretender feeling driven mainly by Broots and Sydney. They are the core, and central to both Parker and Jarod and us, viewers, readers, and the fandom. You plotted this perfectly, seamlessly. 

Bringing Debbie in as the one who takes Jarod down is a stroke of bloody damn genius!

It's the little details that I think most of us love so much about The Pretender, not the whole series taken as whole, but some of precious little moments that make up the series.

Broots confiding to Parker in that elevator that Debbie said she wanted to be like her when she grew up, and the gorgeous smile it brought to Parker's face. And Parker having Debbie become her mini me and how protective Parker was to Debbie. Parker said something like "take good care of Debbie or I will kill you" to Broots and his face... gawd he loved Parker even more for that because it meant she loved Debbie.

SO Debbie feels the same about Parker. That dynamic was there all along. 

Things like that, that I loved so dearly, that moved me so deeply, that made the characters so real and relatable are the reasons I couldn't read the novels or see anything that doesn't pick up, and continue from the tv series.  

SO of course I love this. 

Debbie grew up to be kind of like Parker, to love Parker so much that she apparently became a cop? Is she a cop? Why else would she care about brutality, not having Jarod's head bashed into the hood of the van? I think she's a cop. Either way she loves Parker so much she became the person who freed Parker from Jarod.

The way the circle comes back full circle to complete itself here.. takes my breath away and makes me feel so elated. You do that a lot. Also, Chopin was playing in the Hot Water chapter of Forces of Nature, this story's prequel, I read it often, and Chopin's playing again in this chapter. Was that an accident? Was it the same song?

I love this so much. Debbie for the win. She's spicy, so very spicy, and she ain't taking none of Jarod's crap. 

Please keep writing. I love it.

Write �� faster please!!!

This is so hot ..even bad af Jarod is just 🔥 🥵  🌶ï¸� 

Pepper!

Please continue ��

Oomph! JAROD'S going down....not in a sexual way.

Awesome.

So I don't understand why along the reviewers here are talking about doctor mikey Horton.

But I love that they are!

Michael t Weiss is unique as having been making housewives swoon in the 80s as doctor Mike 

And making ladies and men swoon in the 90s as Jarod 

And is Still making everyone swoon! 

You might be immune to his hotness  but I'm not!

But you still know how to write Jarod and Jarod is just dr Mike but with more intelligence and can get away with everything and was kidnapped and raised by the centre.

The sexiness and the way he is with women , taking control and being dominant and a terrifying interrogator didn't change. Maybe it's just a Michael t Weiss thing.

The way he pins women down with his eyes makes me all tingly and like my insides are being rung out .. especially when he says "look at me" and when tells women not to be afraid of him 

Just all of they stuff  is so hot and 

You write him perfectly.you write Jarod and all if these characters perfectly 

I need more!
