I remember thinking when you posted chapter 3 and it cut to Connor, and then went straight into the sex, it seemed funny that we hadn't heard the conversation between Becker and Lester, and I was slightly pouty that we hadn't had it. But was then promptly distracted by the porn!
Re this chapter, I can totally understand why Lester and Becker decided to keep it from him, not because they *wanted* to lie to Connor, but simply because they didn't want to dredge up the past and to make Connor feel like Becker might be taking his place in the relationship. But at the same time I can totally understand exactly why Connor feels so hurt and betrayed. There's no real 'right' or 'wrong' here, just three people who haven't handled a situation very well. Glad you dealt with it in a realistic way, with a tentative reconciliation, rather than just immediately forgiving and forgetting.
Like I said before - the hot porn is great, but I *love* the relationship stuff even more :-)
