Another Saturday and another My Sexy Saturday 7! http://mysexysaturday.blogspot.com/

Here's the scoop: Participating authors will post 7 paragraphs, 7 sentences, or 7 words. For me, this time  it's 7 sentences from Loving Leonardo ~ A Victorian polyamorous love story with a touch of reader-interactive art history. AND I've just found out Loving Leonardo is a 2nd place winner in the OKRWA International Digital Awards!

Setting the Stage:

Aboard a steamer to Venice, newly married Nicolas is inexplicably drawn to his bold-as-brass Yankee wife. But the fair blond Dutchman at the dinner table has a siren's call of his own.

I give you 7:

We talked about sea voyages, Lord Byron, and the feel of a fine Cuban cigar over your tongue.

His description was such that I asked him to show me what he meant.

He “just happened to have one in his cabin,” he said, “a fine hand-rolled Havana, the same sort that Britain’s own Prince Edward enjoyed.”

Primed with innuendo, needless to say, I followed.

After he closed the door behind us, he made no move to light the lamp.

In a flash he was on his knees before me.

It wasn’t a Havana he wanted rolling over his tongue, but then I never thought it was.
Here's the story

I love that this author takes what could be just another turn of the century historical romance and completely revamps it into a very sexy, smart, and scintillating read.~ Coffee Time Romance

There's a sequel. Loving Leonardo - The Quest !
