why did no one tell me there was a sequel for pulse

Seriously, I got addicted to Ratana Satis' work when I found Soul Drifters, then found she and her team had a whole backlog of older works that were gold-tier GL stories. They are drama, comedy, romance, action, but also with originality and emotions. This is just the pre-cursor to Ch. 2/Ch.3 of Pulse.
The sexual stuff with Lynn doesn't start happening until Ch. 29-32. I recommend "Love my Boss (Wife)" and "Beast Knights" as well.
