Participants post just 150 words to capture the imagination. Today, another small sampling from my award-winning Victorian polyamorous romance written with a touch of reader-interactive art history ~ Loving Leonardo - Book 1.
Setting the scene: Aboard ship, Nicolas accepts an invitation. It is a long voyage after all.
My snippet:
Although his invitation had been crystal clear, I was nevertheless surprised when the Dutchman walked up and stood beside me. 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.
The cabin was dimly lit and private from his sister. 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.
