#SexySnippets

It's Sunday and time for Sexy Snippets. Participants post just seven sentences to capture the imagination. Today I'm offering a bit from Loving Leonardo  (book 1 in the series)~ a Victorian, polyamorous adventure.

Setting the Stage~
Ellie proposes marriage as a business arrangement of sorts. She desires the protection and wherewithal his name would provide in aiding her plan to go to Venice to rescue Leonardo da Vinci's unknown book. In this scene, Nicolas has just told her of his future obligation to produce an heir. Considering his natural predilection, this was an unanticipated detail in her scheme.

My Seven ~
Summoning my straight-faced composure, I said, “We British are nothing if not dutiful. Perhaps with the lights off.” Her expression priceless, I laughed, “I’m teasing you, my dear. Actually, I’ve never attempted to make love to a woman. And truth be told, I don’t see that happening for a good many years yet.”

Something akin to relief shown in her eyes, suggesting if she had say in the matter it would be a long ways into the far-distant future. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it but didn’t have too much time to contemplate my curious reaction to her relief, for next she blurted, “Then lights on or off, we’ll cross that bridge as it comes.

An award winning love story
