We are just home this afternoon and I am finally able to read and appreciate all my lovely birthday gifts. My computer time was limited, while we were away and now I think I am in VigBean heaven.
I adore this pairing and the way you write them. It is as if they both show the hard, armour plated surface to everyone else and only with each other can they permit themselves to show any tenderness. The relationship is dangerous and the more it evolves, the more dangerous it gets and the more vulnerable it makes them. Even so, the constant powerplay between them goes on :
As Alec thrust slowly inside him, Nikolai bit his lip until it bled. The battle of wills ended in a draw.
There is so much in this exchange as well :
“Yes, I know.” Alec stubbed out his cigarette and smiled. He stretched luxuriously and gathered Nikolai into his arms. “Once more before you leave, hm? No tricks this time.” He fondled Nikolai’s hip and thigh.
“No? I rather enjoyed being your prisoner.”
Alec laughed quietly and kissed down Nikolai’s leg. He caressed Nikolai’s insteps, the soles of his feet, and then closed one long hand around Nikolai’s ankle. He stared down at the chain tattoo. “I think you’ve been a prisoner long enough.”
The way you write the dialogue between them really is masterly (or mistressly):D.
I absolutely loved that Nikolai saved Alec at the end, without Alec even knowing and thought that the knowledge it implied on Nikolai's part was very subtle. Alec having romantic notions about Nikolai is kind of sweet.
Thank you very much for a fic that I will put in my memories and return to often. * Hugs*
