Slip Between the Sheets with...

Vic Savian 

from Wicked Burn By Beth Kerry

 

Releasing TODAY from Berkley Sensation!

He wanted all of her…

Vic Savian knows what he wants when he sees it. And what he wants is his sexy neighbor, Niall Chandler. So when he sees her in the hallway of their building being harassed by an aggressive suitor, Vic makes his move—and finds himself greatly rewarded…

And did she ever let him have it…

Sleeping with her gorgeous neighbor—when she didn’t even know his last name—was the craziest thing Niall’s ever done. Now, she can’t seem to get enough of Vic—or the uninhibited passion he stirs in her. Suddenly, with his help, she’s opening to sensual pleasures she’s never known before. But when Niall’s past comes back to haunt her, will she and Vic let themselves venture beyond the bedroom and explore the possibility of love that’s in their hearts?

Howdy out there and welcome back to another great Slip Between the Sheets! After all the Thanksgiving hustle and bustle—which for me included a trip out of town, during which my daughter broke her wrist L, hosting a huge Thanksgiving dinnerJ and Black Friday shopping at 4 am :O —I'm  thrilled to be back to work and (hopefully) catching up on all the emails I've naughtily ignored. But first up on my agenda? Interviewing the super sexy Vic Savian over mid-afternoon cocktails. <wiping the sweat from my brows> What an intense job I have. But someone has to ask the hard questions—like boxers or briefs!

 Anyway, I've ordered a couple Flirtini's—to loosen tongues--and see Vic just arriving. Before he reaches the table, let me just read a quick note from Vic's publicist: Go easy on Vic, okay? I know it’s strange, but even though he’s a playwright, he doesn’t talk that much. He usually avoids the media, but I wrangled him into doing this interview to promote the opening of his newest play, Alias X. All he wants to do is get out of the city and back to his horses…so treat him tenderly, okay?

 Hi Vic! Please, have a seat! It's so nice to meet you. Drinks are on the way, but let's get this interview started. My readers know I'm famous for my first question. And why not? Us ladies need to know—boxers or briefs?

 Vic: (Long pause) If you’re asking what I’ve got on under my jeans right now, you didn’t give me the right choices.

 Alyssa: Ooooh! So then, what do you sleep in?

 Vic: The sheets.

Alyssa: All right, smartypants. <taking sip of newly arrived drink> Mmmm. Try  yours! This is really good. And that chocolate cake over there? Decadent! I think I need a slice <waves down waiter and places an order> So tell me, Vic, can you cook? Better yet, bake?

 Vic: I don’t like to cook, but I like to eat. So I do it. Bake? You mean like cookies and pies? Come on, Alyssa.

 Alyssa: LOL. You never know. But it's time for a more insightful question. Tell me, have you found that someone special yet? What attracts you to a woman?

 Vic: Is this really relevant? (Sighs) All right. I’ve never pretended too much of an expert on romance, and I don’t have a terrific track record. Haven’t you ever seen one of my plays? Tension—yeah; Conflict—you bet; Sex—that’s a given. Someone special? (shrugs.) A woman’s mind has always been an enigma to me. As far as what attracts me to a woman, the same stuff that attracts most guys, I imagine. Except I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. Oh—and I don’t like to feel like I’m going to break her. If she doesn’t seem like she can handle the burn—if you know what I mean--I tend to steer clear.

 Alyssa: What else turns you off?

 Silly questions. (Said with a little, naughty cowboy grin that takes away the sting.) Okay, I hate dishonesty and lies.

 Alyssa: Careful…can you handle the burn? Because I can ask more serious questions! For example, do you want kids? For that matter, do you ever want a wife? Ever been married?

 Vic: Isn’t this supposed to be about my play? (Rolls these amazing, piercing gray eyes.) Sure, I like kids. I’ve got a teenager helping me out at my stables right now. Bright kid. Natural with my horses. Big deal for me to say that, because I’m kinda picky about who I let work with my horses. As far as a wife, she’d have to put up with a hell of a lot. I tend to be kind of a bear when I’m writing. Or when my publicist corals me into these interviews. Hey, Alyssa…is this going to last much longer?

 Alyssa: Oh, relax. Let's have some fun? Tell me, what's your favorite sex position?

 Vic: Saved the best for last, did you? I don’t play favorites. Any position is fine with me, as long as whoever I’m in bed with doesn’t mind that I’m in charge while we’re in it.

 Alyssa: Mmmm…but the last question? Sorry Vic, not quite! I'm afraid my curiosity just hasn't been sated yet. So, you seem like a pretty strong guy. But everyone fears something. What are you scared of, Vic?

 Vic: For one of my plays to tank. I put all of myself up there on the stage. It’s a trial every time I do it.

 Alyssa: That must be trying. So how do you act when angry?

 Vic: I go cold and shut out the person who made me angry. Slam. The door shuts—no one gets in. And the lock on that baby is built to last a lifetime…and then some.

Alyssa: A locked door? But I want in. Okay—one more question, then you're off the hook. Reveal your darkest secret! (I won't tell...except everyone who reads this blog!)

Vic: I’m not at all sure I can fathom the depths of a woman’s brain. I make my living with words, but when it comes to a woman, I feel like I can’t say it right for her…can’t say it fast enough. I take solace in the silence.

Alyssa: You can't understand women? Well, I can't understand men.:)  I suppose it's the Venus vs. Mars thing.

Well, Vic, thanks for humoring us! Come again soon. ;) <Alyssa grinning to herself. Like that'll happen!>

 Okay readers, just a reminder—you can enjoy more of Vic (and who wouldn't want to!?) in Beth Kery's Wicked Burn, out TODAY from Berkley Sensation! This book has been picking up some fabulous reviews and it sounds so hot, so I can wait to get my hands on a copy. Sqeee!
