reading this completely ruined my sleep schedule and i'm not even complaining. It was so good, I literally couldn’t put it down. I was hooked deep into the night, eyes burning, heart aching, fully consumed by the tension, the longing, and the unbearable need for them to just fall apart in each other’s arms. The insane sexual TENSION in every glance and every unspoken moment between Ian and Raymond. LIKE It’s a slow, burning kind of pull that makes you stop and reread the panels AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN just to relive the moment.
Their chemistry is like an electric in its quiet intensity, these quiet moments feel more intense than any loud declaration and you feel it even when nothing is said, and that 'stillness' makes it even more magnetic. EVEN the character development is masterful. ITS JUST THAT GOOD!
It pulls you in, chews you up emotionally, and leaves you staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m., wondering how a story could hit that hard. If that’s not peak storytelling, I don’t know what is.
