Stacey Kennedy's interview with her witch character Bryannna
Hi everyone! I’m Bryanna. I suppose some of you might have met me in Whatnots & Doodads, and I’m still not totally sure how I feel about having my intimate moments out for everyone to read. But I’m here, so I guess it’s okay with me.
*clears throat* Yes, hi, I’m the author who wrote the story, Stacey Kennedy.
Bryanna: Well, you wouldn’t have written it, if I hadn’t appeared.
Stacey: Okay, you got me there. So tell us, what’s it like to be a witch.
Bryanna: I’ve come around to the idea. It was hard for me at first, since my magic comes out in all sorts of Whatnots & Doodads. My coven never accepted me and the other witches shunned me because of my flaws. But coming into Strange Hollow really helped.
Stacey: What’s Strange Hollow and where is it?
Bryanna: Oh, it’s a town located at the base of Mount Mitchell. It’s home to other supernatural creatures like me. We’re all a little different.
Stacey: What do you mean by different?
Bryanna: Take me for an example. I’m a witch who has unruly magic. It never comes out like it should and instead gives me random objects; sometimes they match, sometimes they don’t.
Stacey: That might be amusing to see. Okay, don’t go, giving me the evil eye. So you’ve found a home in Strange Hollow?
Bryanna: *blushes* I love it there. Zeke makes it wonderful for me.
Stacey: Spill! Who’s Zeke and why does he make you blush?
Bryanna: He’s my demon boyfriend. Don’t go judging me. He’s not the soul sucker that you’d think he’d be. He’s so sweet, defies his nature and wants to save souls.
Stacey: Don’t forget the sexy-as-sin part…
Bryanna: Yes, there is that. I do burn with hells fire for him.
Stacey: How’s things going between the two of you?
Bryanna: Things have never been better. It got scary there for a little bit when my past came back to haunt me, but once that was sorted out, life settled. I can’t go sharing all the secrets though, can I? You’ll just have to read the story to see how everything worked out.
Stacey: All right, can you share a memory with us that is one of your favorites?
Bryanna: Since all my intimate moments with my lover are out in the open, I guess sharing one won’t hurt any. Here’s a memory that I’ll never forget.
Zeke trailed his hands from flower to flower with a soft touch to insure no damage. She followed his every step. Her mind captured by thoughts of his hands along her skin, cupping her breasts, caressing her as carefully as he did the flowers.
When he plucked a fuchsia dahlia from the ground her focus came back to his face. With a slowness that nearly pained her to watch, he raised the flower to his nose and sniffed it. His eyes closed, the little furrow in his brow suggested the scent overwhelmed him. She gripped the cushion below her as she gulped deeply. By the elements, she’d never seen anything so sexy in her life, and she’d seen a man smell a flower before. But when Zeke did it, she melted.
His eyes snapped open, bored intently into hers. She did nothing to hide the fact he had completely and utterly aroused her. She wished he enjoyed her as much as he did the scent of the dahlia. He may be a demon, but right now, it didn’t matter. He was too delectable to ignore. Besides, she deserved a little fun after what she’d been through these past days. Using him as an outlet to bring some happiness into her life was nothing she would feel bad about.
He waited only a moment. Something changed in his demeanour, almost an acknowledgment that he’d waited for. In only a few strides, he closed the distance between them, knelt down and held the dahlia up. “You know, I’ve never been one for roses. The way a dahlia feels against your skin is much more pleasing.” He touched the back of her hand with the flower, and that earned him a little shudder. “The petals feel like a hundred fingertips along your skin.” He began to slowly run the flower up her forearm.
Her breath sucked back into her lungs. Unable to stop her eyes from shutting, she revelled in the way he touched her. So gentle, yet intent, done in a way to entice her. Slowly, the petals danced along her skin until the tips tickled her jaw line. He ran the flower from her cheek to her lips, where he slid it in a soft whisper across her mouth.
At that moment, he stopped, the flower no longer touching her. Her eyelids fluttered open, and her breath whooshed out in surprise to find his face so close to hers. He held the flower out, smiling in a way that melted her insides. “Did you enjoy the touch of that?”
“I did.” If she’d been bolder, she would have asked for more. Instead, she took the flower from his hand and raised it to her nose without taking her eyes from his.
His expression turned molten, suggesting where he wanted to take this. And she wouldn’t stop him. She needed him just as much. There was something to him, a way about him that she wanted to lose herself in, even if for only a moment. She wasn’t stupid to the ways of the world. She’d seen how cruel love could be. Zeke wanted her body, nothing more. Something she was all right with. A relationship with no strings attached was just the thing she needed to get over Layton. Her heart couldn’t handle any more pain.
With that, she gave him a sultry look to egg him on. His gaze smouldered like the fires in Hell. He leaned forward and cupped the sides of her face. “You must decide now if you want this.” He ran his thumb over her lips and licked his own. “Because once I kiss you I won’t stop.”
She was ready to say “Get on with it.” But there was a smidgen of hesitation that had her worried. “I’ve never … been with a demon.” She looked at the bulge in his pants. “Are … is everything the same?” Who knew what he had in his jeans?
His deep chuckle sent shivers down her spine. “My body is human in every sense–you won’t find a devil’s pitchfork in my pants.”
She laughed nervously. Well, what could he really expect? Her mouth parted to answer him, but she decided action would speak her point well enough. She closed the distance and kissed his mouth. If she’d doubted how much he wanted her, she didn’t now–his kiss couldn’t lie. His hands tightened around her face as his mouth encouraged in sync with hers. Tongues entwined, lips pressed together firmly. Every touch sent tingles straight to her center and caused heat to build between her thighs.
After a final swipe of her tongue, he sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and bit down very gently. He released it, still holding her face in his hands. His eyes bore into hers in a way no man had ever looked at her before. His eyebrow arched up suggestively. “Bryanna, are you ready to play with fire?”
“Holy earthquake, am I ever!”
Stacey: *fans self* Yes, I can see why he’s a keeper. I guess we should let you go, so you can get back to him.
Bryanna: Thanks! It was fun coming here. I hope you all enjoy your visit into Strange Hollow.
A witch with unruly magic, a demon gone good, lava-hot passion and a tornado of emotions–just another night in Strange Hollow.
When Bryanna arrives in Strange Hollow, Zeke, a demon gone good, is burning with Hell’s fire over her. Not only has she set his world ablaze, but he’s found one soul he can save. He’s determined to free her from the insecurities that have damaged her soul.
Together they experience lava-hot passion as they weave their way through a tornado of emotions. But when Layton returns for her, will Zeke’s attempts to break the unworthy cage woven around her be enough to keep her in Strange Hollow forever?
