Horny Hump Day—Vera and Vsevolod

Warning: Not safe for work or appropriate for those under 18!

Happy New Year! This week for Horny Hump Day, I’m introducing one of the couples of my current WIP, my third Russian historical novel, which is set between 1933-48 in a variety of locations in North America, the Soviet Union, and Europe. One of the love stories of the saga is between Vera Lebedeva (a stepsister of female lead Lyuba) and Vsevolod Smirnov, whose younger brother is married to Vera’s favorite sister.

Vsevolod immediately fell for Vera when he came to New York in April 1933, but it took somewhat longer for Vera to realize she had feelings for him in return. At 28, she was considered a spinster, and resigned to the thought of never marrying. Vsevolod, at 26, also was despairing of ever marrying, since he came from a small Siberian town without a lot of eligible prospects.

The Fourth of July is their seventh date, and when Vsevolod asks for a goodnight kiss in her apartment, Vera agrees to give him a little lesson. Little does he realize that his first kiss is going to turn into a lot more!

***

When he finally feels emboldened enough to try kissing her back, he puts his arms around her.  He isn’t expecting her to pull him down on top of her and to slip her tongue into his mouth.  These incredible new sensations increase in intensity when Véra begins moaning softly, the vibrations caressing his mouth like electrical currents.

For anyone curious about their names, Vsevolod means “to rule all,” and Vera means “faith.”
