Sensual Bella Luna Gown Perfect Tool for Seduction

$48.99Bella luna gown Gown by Fantasy Lingerie Material: Nylon Buy from EdenFantasys

If you are looking for something elegant, sexy, sensual and totally seductive to lure your man into a romantic rendezvous then this gown is the one to wear for your tryst.

The sensual Bella Luna Gown is a beautiful ankle-length gown that ties behind the neck and has a mesh floral design that displays the midsection seductively.

The ribbon adorned bust straps are connected by a bra-shaped swatch of black fabric that supports the chest and bares massive amounts of cleavage while leaving the upper back exposed.

The halter top flows into a sexy sheer dress that is slit in the front and rear for maximum temptation and easy access.

It comes with a little g-string which I ditched (I hate the included g-strings, I always discard them) so I wore the gown alone without the little g-string underneath. Bare and beautiful I seduced my man in this long gown.

Perhaps a little too long, but I am so short many things are too long on me.

I made it work and strutted my stuff with all my cleavage poking out of the halter top. Which the hubby did not mind at all. Anything that displays cleavage works for him.

This beautiful gown is a great tool for seduction. If you are looking for elegance and class in your lingerie then try out this beauty.

You can get this sexy gown at EdenFantasys.com.

A Free Halloween Story: Curves with Bite

This is a free Halloween story for your enjoyment.

This story was actually inspired by HipsandCurves.com which caters to plus size apparel.

I was working on a story idea about sexy plus size lingerie when I found the site. Their beautiful attire inspired me to write this little story.

Curves with Bite
By Roxanne Rhoads

A Halloween Costume Ball!

When Karen called to tell me she had scored four free tickets to the Vampyre Ball I was psyched. The idea excited me so much, I loved Halloween more than any other holiday and I hadn’t done anything fun- really fun, for adults, in a long time…but squeezing my post baby butt into any of my old costumes was out of the question.

The thought of trying on new costumes made my stomach turn thinking about how much weight I had gained during the pregnancy. Weight that refused to come off even now almost a year after little Robby had been born.

Maybe I should just forget about it and not even go, I am sure Rob would forgive me-wouldn’t he?

No, he’d tell me to get off my butt and enjoy life and not worry about how I looked, especially since he thought I was sexy no matter what the scale told me. I just couldn’t believe that. Every time I looked in the mirror I could see what I used to look like and it haunted me because I no longer looked that way.

I knew there was no way I was going to find anything sexy and plus size at the local costume stores. No, all that they had to offer was mass produced polyester.

I wanted something that was going to make me look and feel as sexy… and vamp like as possible, but was that even going to be possible? I hadn’t grown accustomed to being a plus size woman yet so I hadn’t bought anything but cheap clothes and some cotton panties from Wal-mart. I lounged around the house with a baby all day wearing Rob’s sweats. No wonder I never felt sexy.

So where to begin searching for sexy plus size costumes? I decided to start with just plus size clothing search online and after scouring a few sites I hit the jackpot.

I found an amazing lingerie store that catered to plus size women, HipsandCurves.com, they also carried some clothing and accessories like skirts, shoes, and gloves. I couldn’t believe the beautiful things that had for sale and how gorgeous and curvy the models looked. Perhaps having a little extra padding wasn’t so bad. I now had the huge boobs I had always wanted and a nice round rump to match. I still had the same basic shape I always did, just with… more.

I was still beautiful, that meant I could still dress like a beautiful woman. I didn’t have to hide under sweats and loose tunics and babydolls. I should show the world my sexy womanly curves.
So I finally talked myself into the risqué outfit I put together and gave myself a pep talk that yes, I would actually wear it to the Ball and not chicken out.

Yeah, right! That depended on how it would actually look on me once I had it home and could try it on.

I waited impatiently, for what seemed like an eternity but was only a couple days, for the package to arrive in the mail.

I waited for Robby to be asleep and everyone else to be gone at work and school before trying my ensemble on.

I opened the box carefully and unwrapped everything, oohing and ahhing at the fabrics and the colors.

I had thought about purchasing the vampiress collar but I didn’t like things to be up around me like that so I settled on something more subtle. I had chosen a long Parisian style, floor length skirt, black of course. I was worried about the rows and rows of black satin and organza ruffles that looked like layers. I was afraid it would be too much and just add bulk to what I felt was already a massive backside. I carefully laid it on the bed to inspect the most prized and naughty piece of my costume- the Baronessa Steel Boned Silk Corset in ruby red. I tingled with excitement. Would I actually be able to wear a corset in public?

More importantly how the hell was I going to get that thing on without Rob’s help?

I called Karen.

****

“Oh. My. God! Diane you are so gorgeous! Look at your cleavage! Your curves! I am so jealous. All the guys at the Ball are going to be ogling your boobs all night,” she giggled.

“I think it’s too much. I am showing way too much skin. I can’t possibly wear this in public.” I moaned as I looked in the mirror from every angle. Yeah, I looked pretty vampish in the black and crimson costume but there was a lot of skin, my skin, my very pale white skin showing up top.

“Here put on the opera gloves and drape this sexy shawl over your shoulders. If you are feeling exposed you can cover more, if you are feeling sexy you can cover less. Come on let’s see how it all looks together, put on the shows too.”

To complete my outfit I had bought I pair of exquisite heels I would probably fall and break my ankle in but hey they looked good.

“You are so freaking hot, D. Rob is going to die when he sees you. I bet you haven’t dressed up for him in ages, have you?”

“No,” I confessed, “I just haven’t felt sexy since Robby was born."

“Well, girl, look in the mirror I think you got your sexy back!”

I looked, then I really looked and I had to admit I think she was right.

“The night of the Ball you have to come over and help me get ready. I want to blow Rob away with the surprise of me walking down the stairs wearing this. Bring your costume over and it’ll be like when we teenagers getting ready for prom together.”

She smiled, “You better believe it, I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”

****

The night of the Ball I was having doubts until Karen showed up with vampire makeup and margarita mix.

“I can’t get drunk before we even get to the Ball,” I protested.

“No, but one margarita will give you the extra shot of confidence you are going to need.”

“You know me so well!”

“I’m your best friend. That’s my job.”

So I carried everything up to the bedroom while she went to the kitchen to mix up our drinks and Karen’s husband went to find Rob in the pole barn, otherwise known as the Man Cave. Baby Robby and our daughter Kris were at my mom’s for the night. Woo Hoo. Adult time.

I was standing in the bathroom in nothing but a lacy thong rubbing creamy white makeup all over my body when Karen walked in with our drinks.

“Here let me help, you want it to be even.”

The makeup was smooth and flawless, not like most Halloween stuff. Plus it wasn’t thick and nasty either. Just enough to give me a bit of a white glow.

“God, D, this is going to look so fab with your dark hair and that crimson corset. I wish I had dark hair, I could look so much more vampish.”

I slipped on my skirt and a flannel shirt so I wasn’t standing around topless while we finished getting ready.

“Karen, I wish I had your supermodel thighs. You have got it going on with those shiny black thigh high boots and short shirt. You have the whole modern vamp thing going, sleek and sexy while I am so old school with the long skirt and opera gloves.”

“Yeah but you got the curves. I look like vampire Barbie...without the big boobs.”

We both giggled at that. It had been so long since we did the girl thing, getting ready to hit the town with our men. This felt good, I was starting to feel like myself again, and I was starting to accept the reflection in the mirror. I was still the same woman I had always been.

Finally after about an hour of painstakingly applying our Goth girl makeup with such precision it was time to lace me into my corset.

Thankfully we had practiced this a few times to get it just right so I could be comfortable while still whittling my waist a couple inches and pushing my breasts out for maximum effect.

I slipped on my gloves and put on a necklace then turned to look in the mirror.

“Karen, is that really me?” I whispered.

“It sure is, D and you are flat out gorgeous. Wow, honest to God I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look so beautiful.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes. My skin glowed, my hair was arranged in long waves everywhere-the light hitting the dark curls and shining with auburn highlights, my lips were full and blood red to match my corset, my eyes glittered dark and mysterious, and my curves…I had curves for days, they were like that pink bunny…they just kept going and going.

I stood there staring at myself while Karen went and grabbed her camera and started snapping photos. I even managed to strike a pose.

Then I heard Rob downstairs. “Hey ladies, come on it’s time to go or we are going to be more than fashionably late.”

“You go first Karen, I need to take a deep breath.”

“OK, just don’t chicken out you look fabulous,” She took off down the stairs.

I took another deep breath then decided I better descend or Rob was going to come after me and ruin my surprise.

I managed to gracefully make it down the stairs without twisting an ankle though I kept my eyes on the stairs so I wouldn’t trip. When I looked up all three of them were just staring at me. Rob had the biggest grin on his face, a very wolfish grin that made me think he wanted to devour me. Even Karen’s husband Tom was practically drooling over my cleavage. Karen finally smacked him so he would shut his mouth.

Rob walked up to me and offered his arm like a gentleman. He was wearing an old fashioned man’s opera cat and top hat to match my costume. “You look delicious my dear, good enough to eat.”

“Sure you are not taking this vampire thing a little too far there, sweetie.”

“Honey, I can’t wait to nibble on every single piece of flesh on your body tonight. Maybe we shouldn’t go, I don’t know if I want to share you. Maybe I should keep you all to myself.”

“No way, I got all dressed up we’re going out.”

“As you wish,” he said with a sigh.

****

We had a fabulous evening and everyone commented that I was the Belle of the Ball. No one could take their eyes off me. I was self conscious at first but after awhile I realized they weren’t looking at me like I was a freak, they were enjoying the view, so I let them enjoy.

Rob couldn’t keep his hands off me all night. I think part of him just wanted every guy to know I was his and he made that very clear. But he kept it up after we got home, too.

He got out his camera and took plenty of poses of me all dolled up, and in various states of being undressed. A couple with just my corset and heels on which was how we ended up making love…several times. He was completely naked, but I kept on my corset and heels…and then just the corset.

I think I am going to have to invest in a few more corsets.

Fabulous Reviews, Interviews, Great News and More

There have been a couple reviews posted for Eternal Desire.

The best is this amazing review by Kiki Howell.

Here's a snippet of the review by Kiki:

After reading Eternal Desire, I would have to call Roxanne Rhoads a master of words. Each sentence flowed into another with a nice blend of old elegance and contemporary style which I think is important in this type of paranormal writing to best blend the modern day setting with the ghosts and vampires of another time. I have to give you an example from the beginning of the story, “a shadowy figure in my dreams, whispering of longings and ancient secrets. I never saw his face, but his voice lingered in my soul. He was an invisible guardian, calling to me…”

(BTW, Kiki you are an amazing reviewer- want to review books at Fang-tastic?)

Another review came in from Coffee Time Romance:

Eternal Desires is a very sexy short story set in one of the world’s most interesting cities. Quillon is a powerful character who commands Liz to follow where he leads but his need for her to know the real man shows there is a heart behind the steel. ...Ms Rhoads gives an amazing description of the Halloween parties and balls in New Orleans.

Onto Other News:

My schedule for the Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest is now going to be the week of January 18. I'll have stories for the contest that you can vote on. I am so thrilled about that.

Did you know I am one of the VampChix over at VampChix.blogspot.com ?

Well the VampChix have teamed up to create something new.

Bite Club, for those who love vampire romance.

What's Bite Club?

Bite Club is a monthly vampire romance book club and created by the members of VampChix.

The first featured book is: The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2

The rules are simple:

First rule of Bite Club, tell everyone about Bite Club.

Second rule of Bite Club, don't bleed on the freakin’ carpet!

Here's how it works:

Each month we will feature a new vampire romance title, beginning with an author spotlight. Everyone gets a few weeks to read the book and then we meet to discuss our favorite characters, plot lines, settings, hot scenes, world building etc. etc.

The blog will be open all month long for those who want to chat books, but spoilers will not be permitted until discussion day unless clearly marked. If you have a scene that jumps out and really grabs you by the neck, let's talk about it, but for those who choose to remain in the dark, spoilers can be skipped.

When our club meets we can discuss any aspect of the book that appeals to us, and who knows?

Maybe the author(s) will drop in to talk too!

Where to find us: vampchixreadbooks.blogspot.com

First bite: The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2

First chat: October 30th

So if you want to join come on over to VampChixReadBooks.blogspot.com and join in on the fun. I'll be there.

New Review and Poems at Mainstream Erotica

I have two reviews and two poems at MainstreamErotica.com this month.

A Review of Mind Games by Cecilia Tan

Toying with RubyGlass

My Poem Dreams

My Poem Escape into Euphoria

A Review of Cucumber Melon Pheromone Mist

I love scented products, what girl doesn’t? And when you combine the sexy and delicious scents with pheromones you have a match made in erotic heaven.

I’ve tried numerous pheromone products over the years even created a research project that compared and contrasted many pheromone products from perfumes, colognes, sprays, lotions and candles. Some smell really good, some smell kinda bad, some didn’t work at all, some worked a little and one seemed to work phenomenally.

So how did the Cucumber Melon Pheromone Mist measure up? First of all the cucumber melon scent is very strong as in overpowering strong when you first spray it. It does settle down to a nice scent once the initial spray wears off.

As far as feeling any sexual stirrings, physical response or even detecting anything unusual as far as sexual urges go…nada. Nothing. Not even an extra blip on the horny monitor. I didn’t even get any response out of my husband and he is usually super aware of any sexual vibes, thoughts or pheromones in the air and picks right up on them.

I’ve used the Pheromone Mist several times now and nothing. Zip. Zilch. Could not believe it. Whenever I have used a pheromone product before usually something sexy happens but with this- nothing.

I think the artificial scent just doesn’t do it, cucumber melon really isn’t high on the sexy list of scents, or the pheromones are too mild. Or perhaps the alcohol, acetone, propane, and n-butane kill everything and don’t allow for any sexy thoughts.

Holy crap, I should have read the ingredients before using the product. That’s a scary fire hazard. Sounds more like a chemical cocktail than anything I should be spraying in my house. I don’t think I’ll be using this product again. This is why you should always read labels. You never know what scary stuff may be lurking in an innocent looking product.

The Flint, MI Vampire Ball 2009

Calling All Vampire Authors, Publishers, PR people for Vampire Authors, and Publicists for Vampire and Paranormal Authors (Also Calling Any Vampire Artisans and Craftspeople who would like to donate products)

Hello all vampire authors (and your reps) would you be interested in donating a copy or two of your vampire/paranormal books (or your clients books, signed if possible) and perhaps some other promotional items (T-shirts, hats, bookmarks, keychains, etc) to the Flint 2009 Vampire Ball to be used as prizes.

The Vampire Ball is a charity event that raises funds for the Flint Farmers Market. This is its second year.

As you may know Flint, MI is an area that has been hit the hardest by the poor economy especially since we are "Vehicle City", the center of GM and the auto industry. Sure the corporate offices are in Detroit (which gets all the media attention) but most of the factories are in and around Flint, factories that now sit empty as do many homes and businesses.

Flint is an area that once employed over 80,000 workers in the automotive industry but now employs less than 1,000. Our unemployment rates are one of the highest in the country as are foreclosure rates. Entire neighborhoods are becoming ghost towns.

One of the remaining gems in Flint is our fabulous Farmer's Market which provides local farmers a place to sell their goods. This year will be the second annual Vampire Ball and we are hoping to make it bigger and better than last year's event.

It would be wonderful if you could donate a signed copy of your book to be offered as part of a prize pack.

So far MaryJanice Davidson, Jeaniene Frost, Madelyn Alt, Angela Knight, Marta Acosta, Lynda Hilburn, Kerrelyn Sparks, Michele Hauf, Cecilia Tan, Susan Blexrud, Margaret Tanner, Kristin Battestella, JJ Keller, Kiki Howell, Cornelia Amiri, Dawne Dominique, Lisa Lane, Nina Pierce, Myristica, Cinsearae Santiago (Mistress Rae), Angela Daniels, Jean Roberta, and myself are all donating copies of a couple of our books (I'm also pitching in a Fang-tastic Books t-shirt, hat and tote bag along with Blood Ties Season One DVD set and a copy of Barely Bewitched by Kimberly Frost).

Most print authors are donating signed copies while ebook authors are donating pdfs to be compiled on CD. Some authors are also sending along promo goodies like postcards, bookmarks, pins, keychains, and t-shirts.

Kaitlyn from Penguin Books sent a copy of Undead and Unwelcome by Mary Janice Davidson and Dead if I Do by Tate Halloway, Danielle from Sourcebooks sent three copies of Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange and Paula (PR person) is supposed to send a couple Charlaine Harris books our way.

The ball is October 24, 2009, if you are planning on being anywhere near Flint please come join us. Tickets can be purchased in advance at http://www.vertigotheatrics.com/. Purchase them early because last year the Ball was sold out.

We are also looking for authors who would like to attend the Ball and sign their books for guests. If you are interested in joining us and setting up a table to sell and sign your books (we would be so thrilled to have you) please contact Ilona Curry at ilonacurry@hotmail.com she is handling all entertainment and promotions for the ball.

I plan to be at the ball this year selling and signing some of my books (if I can find something amazing to wear). It would be great to have some other authors there as well. This will be my first signing and I have no idea what to expect. I am a very shy person and I am already having anxiety attacks over this (I prefer to work behind the scenes, not in the spotlight) I would love to have some other authors their for moral support. :-)

Last year Colleen Gleason, Michigan author of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles, was at the ball selling and signing her books.

If you are interested in donating any books or promo items they can be mailed to me (contact me directly for address). Just be sure to include a note that the books or other items are for the Vampire Ball.

Any donations are greatly appreciated.
