Paranormal Pleasures II: Ten More Tales of Supernatural Seduction

By Roxanne Rhoads

The radio squawked on channel five, his station’s private channel, “Firefighter five-fifty-four, are you out there?”

“This is Firefighter five-fifty-four.”

“Hey, Blake, it’s Cami. Are you back in town? I thought I saw your Toyota drive by a little bit ago.”

“Yup, driving down Brown Bridge Road toward home right now.”

“Good. Everyone is out on a huge call in Porterdale, the old mill and hotel are on fire.”

“Do they need help? I can drop by the station and grab my gear.”

“No, I need you to pull into the old Avalon Plantation. A hiker out in the woods claims to have spotted smoke coming from around the mansion or possibly from inside the mansion. No one has lived there in years. You know how people are always seeing weird stuff out there. But it could be squatters or vandals, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus you know how we’re supposed to follow up on all calls. I just don’t want to pull anyone off the Porterdale fire unless absolutely necessary.”

“No problem, Cami. It’s on my way home. I’ll check it out and call you if I need any help. It’s probably just a bum trying to get warm, it has been cold lately.”

“Thanks, Blake. Let me know if you need any assistance.”

“Will do,” he replied and set the radio down in the seat next to him.

So much for a relaxing homecoming. He’d been out of town for over a week dealing with his family in Florida, but everyone at the station knew he would be home today. Even dispatch. Hard to keep your business quiet in a small southern town. That was okay, he missed running calls. He’d prefer helping others to dealing with his family drama.

The call at the mansion was probably nothing anyway. People were always seeing strange things from that old place. This wouldn’t be the first time someone reported seeing smoke, lights, or will o’ the wisp occurrences from the old plantation. Being old and spooky looking had everyone claiming it was haunted. Which used to be good, everyone stayed away.

But now with all those damn ghost hunter and paranormal shows on TV, everyone was becoming an amateur ghost hunter. It used to be just old vagabonds that came across the abandoned mansion and decided it looked like a good place to stay. And they never stayed long.

In the past, some of the teenagers in town had tried partying there, those from the Goth and Emo sets. They ended up running scared from the place before the night was over.

Blake had run a few calls there over the years but had never seen anything out of the ordinary. It was just an old crumbling plantation that hadn’t been cared for in a very long time.

A forlorn ‘For Sale’ sign had been in front of the place for decades. Nobody had the money for such costly renovations. Hell, many thought it would be better to take a bulldozer to the place and start fresh, but it was a piece of southern history. Some diehard historian put the plantation on the historical buildings preservation list. So destined for a bulldozer it was not, at least not anytime soon. But unless someone fixed the place up, eventually it would fall down on its own. Blake loved history and wished he had the money to renovate it. He knew exactly what he’d do to it.

The private drive leading back to the main plantation house was about a quarter-mile before the road that led to Blake’s house.

He turned down the drive and immediately noticed something was different. For one, the old ‘For Sale’ sign was gone, and the old drive that had been full of ruts and potholes for years had a fresh layer of gravel. Wow, maybe someone had finally bought the place and was fixing it up.

He pulled in front of the main mansion and couldn’t believe his eyes. The grass had been cut and a large dumpster full of garbage from inside the house sat in the drive. Someone had definitely bought the place.

He walked around the front of the building but didn’t see anyone around. No movement and no vehicles. There wasn’t any smoke or flames anywhere either. The front door was locked. He knocked but got no answer. Something urged him to go around back.

The hiker called from the woods behind the house, so if there was anything to see it would be back there.

Blake walked around the huge old antebellum mansion, feeling like he walked back in time. The house was still in pretty good shape, the Greek revival style with the columns and curvature had held up quite well. In the back there still stood a large barn, a carriage house, and several other ramshackle outbuildings that had probably been slave quarters at one time. They filled the large landscape of the backyard. A few paths had recently been cleared out, but it was mostly overgrown. The fields that had once grown cotton, corn, or other crops were now all wooded.

Blake turned around and looked at the back of the mansion. It had been empty for over fifty years. What an impressive place this had once been. As he scanned the old architecture he saw it, smoke was creeping out from one of the second story windows.

Shit, he was hoping the call had been nothing. The back door was locked. He didn’t bother with knocking, he just turned around and mule kicked the door…hard. The rusty old hinges broke and the door flew inward. He ran through the place following the scent of smoke. It was faint and not all through the house, that was good. It meant if there was a fire it had not spread. He found the back stairs off the kitchen by the back door, probably the old servant’s stairs, and prayed they were sturdy enough for him to climb without falling through.

Cautiously testing a stair with his weight he found them to be sturdy. He should have known…they used to make things to last. He tested another and found it to be solid as well, so he ran up the rest of the steps, following the aroma of smoke.

The upstairs hall only had a hint of smoke in it. He followed the trail to a room at the far end, probably a bedroom. Smoke was seeping out from under the door. He touched the door testing it for heat, but it was cool. There must not be a fire, but where was the smoke coming from?

He pushed open the door and smoke billowed out sending him into a coughing fit. He couldn’t see anything.

“Hello? Is anyone here? Hello?” His deep voice echoed creepily throughout the room.

As the smoke drifted out of the room he could see the source, the fireplace. Someone had started a fire but probably had not opened the flue or else the old chimney was all clogged up. He saw a window. As he walked over to it he noticed something that made his heart stop. On the bed lay the prone figure of a woman, her long, dark auburn hair trailed around her and down the side of the bed.

 

Welcome to Darkest Cravings, tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am an author, poet and book publicist. I own Bewitching Book Tours.

Writing adult fiction isn’t for everyone, how did you end up writing for the toughest audience?

I was searching for my niche. Erotica was it. I’ve branched out since the beginning of writing strictly erotica but it’s still what I love to write most. 

Most of the intimidating parts of being an adult fiction writer is the steamy scenes, how did you overcome the “stage fright”?

The steamy scenes have never been a problem for me.

Which fictional character would you like to go on a date with? Why?

Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress Series. He’s perfect- alpha yet loving and concerned.

Your favorite adult fiction books is-?

Laurell K Hamilton, not necessarily labeled as erotica but her books have more sex and steamier scenes than some erotica books.

Do you think adult fiction have reached its full potential yet, or are we still in for a huge surprise?

I think life is always full of surprises, take 50 Shades….who knew…

We all have a treasured possession, what is yours?

I have many. Trinkets that were my grandma’s small things from my childhood, books that bring back so many memories…

Are your characters based on real people or did you create them from scratch?

A bit of both. I’ve taken elements of people I know, elements of creative license and tossed them into a blender and created characters who then come to life on the page and create themselves. So much of what I write just comes out…it’s not planned. It happens.

Do you think adult fiction helps improves relationships?

Definitely, for both the author and the reader. The author gets to explore and live out fantasies on the page, or even work out hang ups fears or deal with things they would never try in real life while the reader gets to explore or gets new ideas ;-)

You have a few steamy moments in your novel. Were they created from fantasy or is there real life experience behind it?

Hmmm….maybe a little of both…LOL

Foreplay, some say it’s just a waste of energy, others feel that it’s a must. You’re opinion?

It’s a must, nothing is better than creating that burn, that need….

Do you think lingerie is a must for a relationship?

Yes. Just like wrapping paper or other pretty packaging is a must for presents. 

Why did you choose to write Paranormal/Fantasy?

I want to write the unique, create a fantasy that can’t be found in the real world.

There is a lot of biting in your novel, are you a biter yourself?

No, not at all. Due to an injury I can’t even bite into corn or an apple. But I do occasionally love to be bitten.

What creature/species do you think makes the ultimate lover?

Vampires definitely. They exude sex. But shifters…werewolves…the beast…the animal nature…sexy as hell.

What creature/species is your favorite?

Vampires 

Have you ever participated in BDSM?

Light play, nothing dramatic or too painful.

BDSM have been described as the ultimate form of trust between two people, do you agree?

Yes, probably why I don’t play. My nature is to NOT trust anyone that much.

Does pain really enhance the sexual experience?

That depends on the person. For some yes, for others no.
