Character interview
Hi guys, what are your
names?
Micaela and Todd.
Is there a nickname
you’re known by?
Micaela (glances
lovingly at Todd): He calls me Mica. It's sweet.
It is very sweet. Do you
have any scars, tattoos, piercings?
Todd: I don't have any,
but Mica has his ears pierced. He likes to wear his jewels (he grins at Mica)
Okay, what about a personal scent (perfume or cologne)?
Mica (sniffs the air):
Todd smells man. I love it.
Todd: You smell man,
too. A bit musky, since you're Italian. I find it sooo enthralling!
Where did you grow up?
How do you feel about it now?
Todd: I'm from the US. I
travelled to Italy to visit Mica, whom I met on an online dating site, but I
miss home. (He turns to Mica): You'll have to come home with me someday,
sweetheart.
Mica: Yes. I was born in
Italy and I like it there, but I could live anywhere. So why not the States? In
the meantime, we're visiting the French Alps during our summer holidays.
Todd: Yeah, which is why
we've ended up at this bed and breakfast. We just have to wait out the storm
before moving on.
Yes, let's hope it won't
last too long. What is your current job title/social station/rank?
Mica: I'm a dancer. I
don't really have a title.
Todd: Who cares about
title or rank? I own an online lingerie sales site and I do well. That's all
that matters.
How do you think your
colleagues would describe you?
Mica (looking thoughtful): Hmm, good question. The dancers would probably say I'm a cool and easy-going guy to work with, while the choreographers… I don't know. I hope they'd say I work hard.
Mica (looking thoughtful): Hmm, good question. The dancers would probably say I'm a cool and easy-going guy to work with, while the choreographers… I don't know. I hope they'd say I work hard.
Todd: That, I believe.
You're a hard worker. It only takes a look at your amazing body to know it's
true. As for me, I'm on my own, so there's no one to judge me (he smiles)
Who is your best friend?
Describe them briefly.
Todd (throws Mica a
teasing glance): Mica, without a doubt. He's the hottest, the most beautiful, and
caring, and generous guy on earth. I adore him.
Mica: Caring? Generous?
That's how I'd describe you, Todd. You're the best boyfriend anyone could have.
Aw, you too are so
sweet. What would you say is your greatest talent?
Mica: Dancing.
Todd (laughs): Um, and
seducing. Like I said, Mica's incredibly beautiful, so he's a real seducer.
Just look at those exotic eyes! I tell ya, men and women alike are crawling at
his feet. I consider myself lucky he's chosen to spend his life with me.
Mica: Ha ha! You funny you. Of course I do.
How would you spend an
unexpected day off?
Todd (grinning): In bed
with Mica. What else?
Mica: Definitely!
(Laughs) Why am I not
surprised? Now tell me again how the two of you met?
Todd: Like I said, we
met on an online dating site. Both of us were lonely, and just like that,
posting our pics and bio on a website and looking for someone nice anywhere on
the globe got us together. It's really incredible, when you think of it.
Mica: Yep, I still can't
believe I found the man of my dreams in America, of all places.
Todd (turns to him lovingly): And that American man travelled all
the way to Italy to be with you, honey.
That's very touching. OK,
last question: how do you feel, generally, about the opposite sex?
Mica (hesitates): Um…
it's a bit complicated. I've had a girlfriend in the past, but now I'm
attracted to a man.
Todd: Oh, c'mon. I've
seen the way you're looking at the hostess here. Anne, isn't that her name?
Mica (frowns): No, Todd,
I'm not looking at her in any particular way.
Todd: You gotta admit
she's a beautiful piece.
Mica (shrugs)
Well, I'll leave it at that.
Thanks to the both of you for agreeing to talk to me!
Todd
and Mica (unanimously): Thank you, too. It's been a pleasure.

Erotic Romance, Menage/multiple partners, GLBT/gay
Two young and indecently
handsome bicyclists visit a village in the French Alps during the summer
holidays. Forced by a raging storm to spend the night at the local bed
& breakfast, they invade the quiet lives of hostess Anne and
her husband, Brian.
A power outage plunges the foursome into
darkness, encouraging new liaisons to form, life-long secrets to be
unveiled, and steamy lessons to be learned. But once the
storm moves on, can the four find a balance and resume their normal lives?
EXCERPT:
Breathing deeply
to calm her nerves, she approached the unfortunate bicyclist and bent to grab
his handlebar.
Surely by pure
coincidence, one of his gloved hands landed on hers, curling strong fingers
around her small ones and helping her pull until the bike stood upright between
them.
Still, even as he
stood on his feet, his hand lingered, holding hers firmly on the hard-plastic
handle.
Anne looked up
into his face, seeing him for the first time. How in the world had she missed
such a jewel earlier? Among tanned, Latin features, a pair of black diamonds
sparkling with mischief stared back without shame. His long, black locks were
swept back in a ponytail, revealing a single golden earring in his left lobe.
Large chest muscles heaved beneath a tight, pink spandex shirt, begging to be
caressed by a woman’s hand, and black chest hairs peeked from the open collar.
Unable to believe
the seductive intensity he exuded, she sucked in a breath and held it while the
world narrowed. Her head buzzed. “What?”
“What?” The
beautiful bicyclist used the same low tone, his full lips forming a teasing
grin inches from her face. He was so near she could smell his hot breath.
Intoxicating.
How had he come so
close? And how long before her husband noticed?
Thankfully,
Brian’s calm, indifferent voice rose behind her, addressing the blond
bicyclist. “So you’re looking for a place to stay?”
“Yeah. We’ve
already asked in several different villages on our way here.”
Anne tugged at her
trapped hand and took a demonstrative step back. “Please.”
“Oh.” Feigning
surprise, the dark beauty lifted an eyebrow and removed his hand, allowing her
to retrieve hers. “Sorry,” he added, rolling a thick R with his tongue,
keeping his lips parted a second too long. A move so deliberately naughty, her
stomach knotted with need.
As she retreated,
he studied her face with a grin, arrogance and amusement gleaming in his dark
eyes, before turning his attention to the two other men.
Blood pulsing in her temples, she copied his
movement.
