You might enjoy the
Cosmology Tutorial of Ned Wright. You'll like his surname, if nothing else.
His
Cosmology FAQ touches on your assumption:

Can objects move away from us faster than the speed of light?
Again, this is a question that depends on which of the many distance definitions one uses. However, if we assume that the distance of an object at time t is the distance from our position at time t to the object's position at time t measured by a set of observers moving with the expansion of the Universe, and all making their observations when they see the Universe as having age t, then the velocity (change in D per change in t) can definitely be larger than the speed of light.

... which then quickly descends into mathematics, so be prepared.
