Thanks. I'm really glad you liked it and I think those comments are intelligent and meaningful :)

And the sounds Nick makes... can't you just picture it, though? He would sound like that. He wouldn't be able to help it. I just have this thing for overwhelmed, vulnerable Nick, completely losing himself in the physical sensations simply because he can't fight them. I think that Nick is a very sensual character, for all his Texan charm. There's something about the way that his insecurity is lurking beneath the surface and yet he's very, very tactile. You can see it sometimes, when he's taken by surprise - that sort of unconscious sensuality that's incredibly appealing.
