Today you have another opportunity to read snippets of 8 – 10 lines from participating authors. When you have finished here, please click on the link (www.wewriwa.com) to read the work of the other excellent authors.
I am again taking a snippet from my new book, The Russian Bride. After meeting a man in a restaurant, of whom Natasha seemed so obviously terrified, James returns to the apartment and arranges security for them. He now wants some answers from Natasha, who has been reluctant to tell him about her past until now.
He looked sideways at Natasha, who hadn’t said a word since they’d left the restaurant. She seemed to be in a state of shock, and he hoped that her experience at the restaurant wouldn’t send her back into the protective shell from which she had briefly emerged. Once back at the apartment, he arranged for some food to be delivered and had a discussion with Tony, who had turned up shortly after they arrived back.
“Please check all the locks, including the one to the fire escape. This guy looks a particularly nasty piece of work, and I want to make sure he can’t get his hands on Natasha,” James instructed.
When Tony had left, and a guard had been stationed outside the apartment door, as well as the entrance to the building, James felt he could relax a little, and he turned to Natasha, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa in his living area. He sat beside her and took her hand in his.
“I think we need to talk, you and I, and this time I need to hear all about you, if I am to help you.”
She nodded her assent and began to share her story in a quiet voice.
“My name is Natasha Alexeyeva, and that man is my husband, Viktor Alexeyev.”
After this snippet we will be going back two years to hear about Natasha’s story, and how she came to be married to this man.
Natasha, a Russian-born woman living in London, catches the eye of Viktor, a middle-aged Russian gangster. He wants her as his wife, the mother of his son, and his submissive partner in the kinky sex he enjoys at his isolated home near Saint Petersburg. But he doesn’t ask her to accompany him – he just takes what he wants.
Surprisingly, Natasha begins to accept her new life. Is she really a natural submissive, or has Viktor brainwashed her? Viktor is adamant that he will not have sex with her until they are married, but he shows her just how kinky he likes it by taking her to orgies held by his friend, and tells her that this is the type of life she can expect as his wife.
Everything turns sour, however, and on a visit to London, Natasha has to flee for her life – where businessman, James Miller, comes to her aid. Over the course of the next few days, Natasha tells James her story, and as horrified as he is, he cannot deny his attraction to the beautiful young woman. He vows to help her.
Neither of them realize quite how much danger they will be in for defying Viktor, but James is willing to risk everything to rescue her from this man. Can he do it? And does Natasha return his feelings?

I shall be late to get to your snippets this week. My US publishers have arranged a weekend get-together for some of their UK authors, so I shall be having fun at the seaside with a gaggle (if that’s the correct collective word) of writers of erotica. So I may not get to wewriwa until Monday or later.
