Again I don't normally go for the sex in these stories, but so far sex is long apart, dull, & 90% is just some form of cock tease... I wouldn't mind that, if some actual story unfolded that got out of the constant holding pattern we are in. -grumbles-
You may ask why I'm still reading through this. Stubborn nature at this point. I keep seeing flashes of oh, finally we going get out of this holding pattern, I get excited for just that brief moment, then we are back in it again. At this point, it's a matter of stubborn as a mule principle to keep going through this.
Edit: Finished up to point it was done at, at Scotland. I honestly hope you start getting everyone out this holding pattern and stop making the MC a narcissistic sociopath. What's good for goose is never good for the gander apparently(MC fucks around, well very little of that even). But ignores everyone at home, constantly and this shit with Deb, seriously. Do you have siblings? I have a younger sister I love dearly, even she did that shit(Which a good chunk was on MC's shoulders anyways, for blame). Intelligent, rational, & family thought members would of fixed that shit already, especially after that talk with his mother.
If your plan is to make the MC a narcissistic sociopath, then I'll pass on further updates. This your story, I don't hold it against you, but if this route you are going with all of what I have mentioned previously, I'll just pass.
Be well, good luck with your work.
