Who is Boris and why is he so free and open with his wife?
Too good to be true?
Or
Egomaniac?
I wanted Boris to be more of a secondary character. Someone
sitting quietly in the background enjoying the show. I really didn’t want to
deal with him as a main focal. As an equal to Bonnie’s character – the lead,
the story POV.
Then, Lea, my publisher said something about there would
need to be some conflict, eventually. Something between Bonnie and Boris…jealously,
something they would have to acknowledge, deal with as a couple.
No.
I became the author who argued.
Argued that, no, my characters do not have that problem.
They are the couple who know their hearts and minds. Who trust and love each
other.
If you listen to the world beyond your comfort zone…the one
that makes adults giggle with titillation. Then you have to acknowledge some
people like _____ and ______ or ______. That they are comfortable and accept
these different lifestyles no matter what anyone thinks.
Lo and behold Boris was born. He became the male lead. The
protector. The supporter. The lover who cherishes his wife and isn’t afraid to
follow her desires. Not afraid to show his own.
Together they explore the world few of us – sorry for the
assumption – dare. Together they are the love story of our hearts. The trust
and belief we have in our own lover(s).
