Oh, myyyyy. I didn't take your warning about this chapter being a "hot mess" seriously. But you definitely delivered! :P If Oliver never boarded the Queen's Gambit and actually began using his intelligence, I think this is exactly the kind of person he would have been. Love it. Just, love it!

This was magical and hot and I want more of this beautiful piece of art!

Just as wonderful on the second read through as the first!
This one grabs you by the throat and screams 'keeper'
So good; so, so good ...

Omg that was amazing please continue and soon!

This is PERFECTION. You spoil me now i want more!

Also "Fire and damnation. Desire and temptation." Good stuff.
