Saturday's After Dark Moments

I'm participating in something new today -- Saturday's After Dark Moments. A mini hop for erotic romance. For me, this time it's a few paragraphs from my Loving Leonardo .
 

In this scene: A page turns for my trio, their lives forever changed. (condensed from a larger piece to capture the moment)




He raised his hand to the side of my face, and there his thumb traced along my bottom lip. My heart started to pound and my cock swelled. The hand slid around to the back of my skull and pulled me close for a kiss. A kiss I very much wanted.

I could taste him under the sweet tang of grapes and wine. I fed my tongue into his mouth and found his. The small whiskers trimmed so close to his upper lip and chin were sharp exclamation points along my heady exploration. I’ve no clear image of how exactly it happened, so absorbed was I in the sensorial bliss of the moment, but shirts and flies opened as magically as if Ali Baba himself called “open sesame” to the cave.

Lean-ribbed and fit, he had a raven thatching over his chest that was slightly thicker than my own, and I petted him as though he were a sleek jungle cat. We freed each other’s cocks as we kissed and caressed and I soon learned that chest hair wasn’t all that was thick on Luca. Da Vinci himself couldn’t have sketched a finer image than this bold firm cock. His kiss deepened and he stroked me slowly with an expert hand while I closed my fingers around a shaft a few inches shy of the length of my forearm. Driven to make free with all he offered, I broke from our kiss. It was then I saw her.

Assessing her attitude quickly, I detected no condemnation. The sensually-charged static in the air was palpable. No one said a word. Standing, I held a hand to our guest, wordlessly asking him to follow. Luca read the scene and relaxed. The cock I thought large a moment ago surged to its true fullness. It was just as I suspected early on. Luca was one of us.

Ellie walked to the bedroom settee and we followed. She licked her lips when her eyes met mine and I could see our carnally-charged conversations of evenings past mirrored in her lust-dilated eyes. She wanted to see firsthand what it was like when two men loved. I put my hand on Luca’s back and led him to lie upon the bed. There, I crawled over him until we lay side by side. Taking his face in my hands, I kissed him long and slow, as much for her as for him and I.

I could feel her watching us, feel her heat emanating in waves. I wanted the blast of that heat to burn me, to reduce me to ash that I might know myself. Truly know. I’d rise like a phoenix — a bird plumed and painted in fire. The art in the loving would be mine at last, the art I’d always known existed but had yet to find for myself. I wanted the both of them because this was who I really was. I wanted this rebirth. I wanted my renaissance.

Thursday Tasters

Today, I'm trying something new -- Thursday Tasters -- for writers who want to show short excerpts of their work.
I'm offering another small sampling from my unusual Victorian polyamorous romance written with a touch of reader-interactive art history: Loving Leonardo (book 1 in the series)

Setting the stage:
The story is told in Nicolas' view. Nicolas and Ellie invite Luca to discuss Leonardo da Vinci, and realize they have more than one interest in common. Here they discuss the artist's homosexuality and opinions held in the times in which he lived, specifically the return to the classical ideals of the ancients. A popular theme in Da Vinci's era regardless of the opposition of the church. 

The Taste:


Luca met her eye. “Did you know the ancient Greeks didn’t consider sexual proclivity to be a social characteristic? They didn’t distinguish a person’s sexual desire by biological sex, only by the role that he or she played in the act.”

Ellie took on her lovely blush, and for the first time I realized both desire and discomfiture lie within the hue. She asked plainly, “Do you mean to say all that mattered in ancient society was whether someone played the active penetrator or the passively penetrated?”
 

Bold-as-brass. I chuckled.

Luca’s smile widened and his shadow-blue eyes sparkled. “Yes.”

I believe we were all aware of a sexual tension growing in the intellectual-rich loam. There were little things at play now: the way Ellie moistened her lips and looked at us with eyes that lingered from one to the other. The way Luca's irises had darkened from snow shadow to moon shadow as he looked upon her. The way I'd catch myself with a reminder to breathe as my eye was drawn to these small distinctions. Like da Vinci's sfumato, our mutual attraction hung in the air, and I was struck by the notion that the smoky quality depicted in his art was desire. Desire like this.

Thursday Tasters

Today, I'm trying something new -- Thursday Tasters -- for writers who want to show short excerpts of their work.
I'm offering a small sampling from my unusual Victorian polyamorous romance written with a touch of reader-interactive art history: Loving Leonardo (book 1 in the series)

Setting the stage:
In this scene newlyweds Nicolas and Ellie are on a steamer to Venice to find the book of love Leonardo da Vinci created for his lover Salai. Here they meet Luca. It's just the beginning.

I sat Ellie and pulled a chair for Mrs. Ormont as she waited for her husband. A moment later, Colonel Ormont brought the historian to our table and made introductions. Luca Franco, late of Florence, was a Professor of Antiquities returning from London. I found the Italian quite the attractive fellow, impeccably dressed as he was. 
When in the presence of true beauty, my mind often imagines the person unclothed as the artists of the ages might have seen him. Sitting at my table was a statue carved in marble by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; an artist known for his remarkable ability to capture the essence of a narrative moment. And I found Luca Franco to be exactly that — a moment indelibly captured in time — a moment of meeting the mind could revisit in its entirety. 

From every angle, he was beautifully made: black-haired, of medium build, and physically fit. He possessed a warm hue to his skin, his lineage no doubt stamped centuries past by the darker Moors or Turks. In startling contrast, and quite handsomely framed by black lashes, he had striking eyes the color one might see in a shadow falling across snow — not quite sky blue nor exactly steel gray, but a blending of the two in gradated rings. 

I rose to shake his hand and felt the unmistakable current of compatibility. If this man weren’t forward in his mutual attraction, it was there nonetheless. I watched him bow over the ladies’ hands and found it curious that he lingered over Ellie’s fingers a tad longer. It made me smile. I had the distinct impression I was in the presence of a fellow dual-nature like myself.

Marketing for Romance Writers Books Hooks

MFRW Authors Blog 
It's Wednesday and I'm glad to be participating in the new Marketing for Romance Writers Books Hooks mini hop! (see linky list below) The deal is to post 6-8 sentences from your novel. This time I'm offering a bit more from my award-winning Victorian polyamorous romance written with an unusual touch of reader-interactive art history: (book 1 in the series) Loving Leonardo.





First
my 8, then details follow:

Leading her to our bed, I sat with her there, holding her hands for a time; more to steady mine than hers, truth be told.

Seeing she needed an answer from me, I brushed back her curls and took her face between my hands. Drawing close, I kissed her. It began as a tentative touch of my lips to hers. But her mouth was soft and pliant and, unlike my male lovers, her chin and upper lip were void of rasping whiskers. This discovery alone caused my kiss to firm, and I pressed into it wanting it all. Slanting over her, I dragged my kiss back and forth forcing her mouth to open to me. Her sweet champagne tongue coiled with mine hesitantly at first, but this grew bolder the more familiar our lips and tongues became.

Setting up the scene: Newlyweds Ellie and Nicolas come to a point of no return that shatters all they thought they knew of themselves. After this moment, they'll never be the same.





"The lush language and wonderful descriptions drew me in and kept me spellbound as I read the progressively adventurous escapades of Luca, Nicholas and Ellie. The art history was obviously well researched and the tension in the plot deepened upon the trio's arrival in Italy. I was intrigued by the first person male point of view. A beautifully-written story."
