Love the way Jeff tracks Misha's thoughts, the way he appreciates Misha's high intelligence and self-control, the way he understands that Misha can't help but test him. That he has to get it right, because Misha has already adapted to people getting it wrong, that talented sequence of gorgeous submissive poses. This is the first I've read in this 'verse, so I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that Misha isn't *trying* to fight, and that he usually doesn't have to, because no one gets close enough to be a threat.

Misha is very brave and very strong, with a flexibility and resourcefulness that requires patience even in this scene, where he trusts Jeff and wants to submit. It would take a long time to get tired of dancing with him...
