I've told you elsewhere how much I loved this but thought I would leave a quick note here as well.

What a stonking good read. I loved the way you wrote both characters in this, Raffles trying to do what Bunny wants and treat him as a valet, Bunny trying so hard and poignantly to *be* a valet. It made for terrific tension. I loved Raffles' relationship with Charlie too. And Charlie explaining to Raffles that Bunny was still reliant on him. The erotic scenes were wonderful. I particularly loved that bathroom scene. *cough* And the closing scenes too.

It was all just brilliant and, for me anyway, one of your best to date.

You have indeed - but I really appreciate you leaving a note here too - thank you.

*Beams happily* Oh, good, I'm really so delighted you found it such a joly good read.

I'm glad the whole valet thing and the way they were behaving made it nice and tense - that's good to hear.

I'm pleased you liked Raffles's relationship with Charlie (poor Charlie, I must write the sequel to the story that actually has him with Ollie when we get nearer to Christmas; he does deserve someone of his own).

Charlie sees things Raffles and Bunny don't.

Oh, good. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the erotic scenes. Ah, yes, the bathroom one *whistles*

Thank you very much indeed - I'm delighted to hear this and I really enjoyed writing it and boy did it take on a life of its own.

Thank you.
