Yes!!!!!!!! It's wonderful Alex. I love the build up, love the description of Nikolai's youth, the background you give him. These two men are such a powerful combination, dangerous and seriously hot and I can't wait for more. As always the derails are so great; the food, the landscape; I am in awe. Thank you so much for sharing this, it's wonderful!

On another note; thank you so much for your lovely card which arrived! (and what a beautiful handwriting)
