My Vampire Lover - a series of erotic short stories by Victoria Embers
Bio: Victoria Embers splits her
time between being a stay-at-home mom and reading vampire fiction. She believes
good romance should make you purr while good erotic fiction should make you
scream, but in a good way of course. Embracing her love of vampires and
werewolves and the naughty situations they find themselves in, she’s currently
writing an erotic short stories series called My Vampire Lover with a blend of
paranormal romance and erotica featuring, you guessed it, vampires and
werewolves.
Question time!
What
inspires you to write?
Actually I’m new to all of this. A friend
suggested I sit down and write the story I have been telling her and that’s
what I’m doing. It’s a new adventure for me and I’m very excited about doing
something creative.
In
one or two sentences, give the core premise behind your story.
In the first installment of this erotic
short story series, Caroline, a werewolf and golden guardian of the realm, has
discovered a new love in her vampire captor. She's willing to risk everything,
even her life, to prove to him she loves him and has forsaken all others
including her family and her pack.
The next story I’m releasing next month is
called “Redemption (My Vampire Lover #2).”
Raphael, a vampire and prince to the realm,
faces a great challenge. After giving his blood to Caroline to drink, Raphael
knows her life is hanging between life and death. Will she survive? And if so,
what will she become being born as a werewolf pure blood? Raphael knows he must
work fast to protect Caroline from his father discovering her existence while
he also figures out how to save her.
What
is the theme of the overall series?
I love the romance novels where the lovers want
to be together, but can’t. I like the idea of Caroline and Raphael wanting to
be together, but because they come from different worlds it is a big struggle
for them.
Is
this book a part of a series?
Yes, actually. I’m writing My Vampire Lover
as a serialized series of short stories. I have the attention span of a ferret
and I have heard other Indie authors say that it is very tough to write a full
80,000 or 100,000 offering of an ebook. I learned recently that an ebook that
size is called an Epic. That was too scary for me and too much pressure and I
am a very impatient person when it comes to getting tasks done. So with that in
mind, I thought releasing each story separately would be something I could
accomplish, start small and build on it.
Are
you’re confident in this approach then?
To make a long story short (if I may put it
that way)…yes,I am. I decided after a
lot of soul searching to put myself out there in the sea of Amazon in a little
boat, instead of a big boat. Lol! But
seriously, I’m hoping to release a short story each month to readers, around
the end of the month.
I think it’ll be a very exciting experience
for both me, as a writer and the reader. I’m hoping if the reader is ready for
my approach and that they will enjoy the anticipation of getting the next
story, without having to wait too long. And I’ll get to learn more about what
they think of the recently released story and get feedback. I like interacting
with my friends on Facebook and other social networking sites, so I hope I get
feedback from anyone who starts reading my series, My Vampire Lover. You know?
It’s going to be fun.
How
long do you think each story will be? Who will tell the story? I know in this
first story, Conquest your female heroine, Caroline is a werewolf and she tells
the story. Will she tell all of them?
I plan for each story to be one scene or a
few scenes, averaging around 2,500 to 5,000 words each, probably more like
5,000. I’m currently working on the second one now. Originally I thought
Caroline, my werewolf heroine who is kidnapped by her vampire captor who then turns into her lover, would tell the story. But
now I want to have each story go back and forth. I think that will be more fun.
Caroline has told the first story from her point of view in “Conquest.” The
next story will be told by her vampire lover, Raphael. He will tell the next
story.
How
many books to you anticipate will be in this series?
Probably around 10 to 12 short stories.
Excerpt
from “Conquest (My Vampire Lover #1)”:
I felt his warm, wet tongue dart in my
mouth, sucklingly my bottom lip. A sting
of pain surfaced.
I shrieked, quickly pulling away from him.
He held me fast in his arms. Our eyes locked.
Again I tasted the sweetness of blood, but
this time it was my own. Carefully, I
licked my bottom lip where he had bitten me.
Another gleam from the moon shone upon his
face, his bright eyes sparkled with a savage knowledge beyond lust and desire,
one of sheer hunger. He would be mine.
Before I could stop him, he slashed at his
well-toned chest with his nails. Lines
of blood formed across his muscles.
“Drink of me.”
Then he resumed fucking me fiercely,
refusing to stop.
I stared at the streams of blood rolling
down his chest as I rode him. The wolf
in me instantly awoke. Warm rushes of
power and hunger rose up in me. The wolf
was coming for me and I wouldn’t be able to deny him.
“Let it go,” my vampire lover whispered
into the night. “Drink of me. I’ll make you queen when Father dies and
we’ll rule this kingdom together despite them.”
The moon bathed him in its lush glow and I
couldn’t resist marveling at his naked form.
He was exquisite. His thick,
muscular chest glistened with blood and sweat and I held on to his shoulders as
I drove my hips down upon his, feeling his magnificent cock serge deep inside
me. Each stride I took sent me ever
closer to him forever. I took his mouth
with a savage intensity I had never known and then I lavished my kisses upon
his chest, licking his blood and sweat in long, broad laps.
We will be together.
I leaned my head back, exposing my neck
completely. “Do it. Do it now. He’s here!”
Answering my request, he pulled me into his
embrace and sank his teeth into my neck.
I cried out, instantly thrusting myself
upwards to meet his fanged kiss. A flood of raw, electrifying sensations
exploded inside me and multiple orgasms rocketed through me.
He lifted me slightly off the bed and he
drank from me, holding me gently in his arms the whole time.
I pressed my back into his firm hands and
focused on meeting his tempo as I rode him. The room began to spin. Blood
trickled down my chest, running past my belly button and along the inside of my
thighs. A delightful shiver of fear passed through me as my vampire shuddered
and came inside me. I will be his.
