¡Hola lectoras y lectores!
Al igual que las dos entrevistas anteriores, a Eve Berlin también la entrevisté para la revista RománTica'S Magazzine y aquí os la dejo en versión original para todos aquellos que la quieran leer.
La versión en español la podéis encontrar aquí:
~*~*~*~
Today was going to be awesome. Although I have to
admit I felt a little bit nervous about what was happening—and where I was
going.
Seattle. Where Eve Berlin would be waiting for me
along with Alec and Dylan, or so she had told me. I still couldn’t believe I
was going to meet them. I mean, hello? It’s Alec! If he’s as handsome—and
hot—as I imagined when I was reading the book, I swear I will faint, and then
the interview will be a total failure.
Ehh, no. Let’s hope for that not to happen or I won’t
be able to look at them in the eye again.
My plane had already landed and a private taxi was
waiting for me at the airport entrance. Nice! At least I won’t have to take a
regular taxi and pay for it with my kidney.
I chuckled at my joke. Yeah, it was obvious I was
nervous; otherwise I wouldn’t be telling stupid jokes that didn’t make any
sense.
The driver didn’t ask me where I wanted to go, he
already knew. Or at least I hoped he did. I didn’t want to end up kidnapped and
tied up somewhere around the city.
Okay, okay. I will stop. Although I did want to end up
tied up…
Aaaalright, so not going there.
“We’re here, Ms. Yuliss,” the driver informed me. I
was very curious about knowing where ‘here’ was, since I had no clue where I
was supposed to meet the author and the couple.
Looking up, I turned my attention to the building
standing in front of us, and then, my eyes snapped open.
Oh my God…
“You sure this is the right place?” I managed to say
after gulping.
He nodded. “Yes, of course. Mr. Walker clearly
specified you were to be brought to Pleasure Dome as soon as your flight
landed.”
“Yeah… Mr. Walker…” Alec! I hadn’t even met him yet
and he already unveiled an extreme dominance. “Okay. Thank you.” I said before
getting out of the car and looking doubtfully at the entrance of Pleasure Dome,
the BDSM club.
Apparently, it seemed I was going to end up tied up
after all…
I couldn’t help a shudder.
In that moment, the front door opened and a
brown-haired woman with green eyes went out looking at me with a smile.
Oh, that was Eve. She seemed to be so sweet!
“Yuliss?” she asked as she approached me.
I nodded and
pulled out my right hand.
“That would be me! I’m so excited to be here,
finally.”
She took and shook it. “I’m happy you are here, too.
Come on in, Alec and Dylan are waiting inside.”
Eck, talk about pressure! Trying to ignore my heart
racing, I followed her and we both went it in search for the other two writers.
The atmosphere inside was completely different to
anything I could have ever imagined. The sexual tension, the dominance and
submission were as noticeable as the glances the other men were sending in my
direction.
I gulped. It’s true I felt curious about this
lifestyle, but the situation just seemed too surreal. Eve, however, didn’t turn
her attention to anyone. She just kept walking.
“So, did you research a lot
about BDSM to write Pleasure’s Edge?
I mean, what did you do to avoid missing important details about the lifestyle?”
*I’m very open about the
fact that I’ve been involved in BDSM most of my adult life (I lecture about it,
and have talked about it on Playboy Radio), so for me, much of my ‘research’
has been experiencing the things I write about. I’ve been to clubs all over the
country and one in Canada, so the BDSM clubs I create in my books are usually a
blend of the places I’ve seen—and the Doms are often loosely based on Dominant
men I’ve known and played with or had a relationship with, or are sometimes a
combination of several of them. Of course, those of us in the lifestyle also
very often read about the practice and psychology of BDSM. Like anything else
this complex, it takes some study. And this is an excellent place to study,
don’t you think?
We finally got to the room where we were supposed to
talk more calmly. The problem was I didn’t feel any calmer. Alec’s eyes were
fixed on mine, and even though Dylan was right beside him, in silence and
watching, I still could feel his power and will go through my bones and body.
“Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, Yuliss” he said, his
gaze not leaving mine. I could only nod in response. His face told me I weren’t
to talk till he determined so.
But I was the one doing the interview, so what the
hell!
“Thank you. It’s a pleasure to meet you” I greeted
them. Then, pulled out my pad and pen and breathed deeply. “Would you mind if
we start?”
“That’s why we’re here, sweetie” answered Eve, nodding
her head.
“Okay, so… a lot of readers
are pretty curious about you two,” I pointed at Dylan and Alec with my head.
“And they would love to know, Alec, what was what you felt when you first had
Dylan in your hands to explore and teach.”
*I felt her struggle with
submitting, which only intrigued me more. I love a challenge, and even though
I’d spent years playing with women who submitted to me easily and eagerly, Dylan’s
fight against it is what finally drew me in. I loved the fire in her from the
start. And the fact that she’s so beautiful…well…that just made her
irresistible.
“And Dylan… what did you
feel and think the first time you knew you were going to have sex with him? Did
you know already he was gonna be the man of your life?”
*I’ve always thought of
myself as a sexually sophisticated woman. Sex with a gorgeous man without any
other expectations is something I’m comfortable with. So, no, the first time we
were together, I had no idea it would turn into anything more than an amazing
experience with one of the hottest men I’d ever seen.
I also thought of myself as
someone who didn’t need to be in a relationship, and falling for Alec took me
totally by surprise. I think I struggled with that even more than I did in
admitting that I wanted to submit to him. But ultimately, loving Alec won over.
How could I resist?
I listened to them with attention. Their fingers were
entwined at all times, and they both seemed to be lost in the other’s words. Alec
liked his woman’s response, or so I thought by the satisfaction that sparkled
in his eyes.
“Good girl.”
Dylan’s body went completely submissive, but so did
mine. Oh my… that voice…
Shaking my head, I focused again on the interview.
This time I turned around to face Eve.
“I know you must be bored of
the same questions, but I’m particularly curious about what you think about the
Fifty Shades phenomenon. Does it bother you the ‘discovery’ of this ‘new’
genre?”
*I’m thrilled about it! Of
course, erotica and BDSM fiction have been around for many years—I wrote my
first BDSM novel, THE DARK GARDEN (written under my other pen name, Eden
Bradley) back in 2005—but the fact that Fifty Shades has brought these kinds of
books to the attention of the mainstream reader is wonderful, for readers and
for writers. And I love that it has allowed women to be more open about
admitting to their sexual desires.
“Because of this phenomenon,
now there are a lot of romance books based on BDSM. Would you go further in
erotica to try to outstand in the big tide of erotic books that are now being
published?”
*Well, again, I’ve been
writing BDSM for a very long time, and as someone who is actually involved in
the lifestyle that’s always going to be very natural for me. So yes, I’ll be
writing a lot more BDSM books!
Alright… I felt it was time to change the subject.
Fifty Shades had already gotten too much prominence already. By their faces, I
could guess they thought the same as well.
“In Spain the second book of
the series is about to be released. Can you tell us a little bit about it? What
are we gonna find in it?”
*Book Two, which is called
DESIRE’S EDGE here in the US, is about Alec’s best friend Dante and Kara, a
woman he’s known since high school. The kink is a bit less hard-core in this
book—I’d probably call it a spanking book, mainly, although there are a few
other interesting things going on, of course. But if you’ve ever fantasized
about being bent over a desk and spanked by a tall, dark, gorgeous man, then
this might be the book for you! And Dante is…well…he just makes me melt.
Both Alec and Dylan nodded and smiled. They knew
something I didn’t, but I would find out anyways.
“So that means this second
book will be more intense than the first one? Can you tell us some experiences
from when you were writing it?”
*This is a very emotional
book, and I think Kara is a woman so many of us can relate to. I often listened
to music before sitting down to write this book—moody songs about love. I was
in love at the time, myself, which made that journey more intense for me. I
cried while writing the ending of the story!
Oh, I was liking this stuff. I could barely wait to
read it already! Eve grinned at me, as if reading my thoughts, and I smiled her
back. I wasn’t done yet!
“Almost everyone thought you
were going to pair Mischa and Dante when reading the first book. How come they
won’t end up together?”
*Mischa has her own path to
follow, which you’ll find out about when Book Three releases there! And really,
Dante and Mischa are not each other’s types. Mischa, a tattoo artist, is a bit
of a wild child, and Dante is the smooth attorney. He definitely has his bad
boy side, but he keeps it under wraps most of the time. Mischa’s perfect match
is another friend of Alec and Dante’s—a man whose bad boy side is loud and
clear. I can’t wait for you to meet Connor!
Ohh… that was interesting. Then, I checked my watch, I
still had time till I had to come back to the airport and come back to Malaga
to finish and edit the interview. Turn to spill the last question and get out
of this extremely awkward place.
“So, lastly, I would like
you to tell something to all our Spanish readers that are awaiting expectantly
the next novel in the series. I know they love when authors do that!”
*I think you’re going to
fall in love with Dante, and want Kara to be your best friend. These two
together are hot and sensual---I definitely had to keep a fan on my desk while
I was writing their love scenes! And there are a few twists to the story…but I
can’t tell you—you’ll just have to read it when it comes out!
“Thank you, Eve. It’s been a pleasure!” I said pulling
my pad into my purse. This was going to be great when all the corrections and
editing were made.
Alec, then, approached me and smirked.
“I hope you don’t have to leave so soon”
There was promise in his voice, but I wasn’t sure if I
liked it or not… yet.
“Eh, I-I…”
“So?”
“Yeah. I still have time” I managed to say.
Dylan smiled at me and then at Alec. Oh geez… That couldn’t be good.
“Good girl.” Alec finally pronounced, then the door
opened and a really muscled and tall guy entered. Oh my, was he hot! “I want
you to meet someone…”
See? I knew it! I was gonna end up tied up somewhere
in Seattle!
Yuliss
