A nice entry in your cast of hellish harlots and dishy demons right here! I still have to check out the brand new Goldilocks entries, and since I commented on the originals (when Sophie was still a human and just stumbled into the cabin), I'm eager to see where you've taken that franchise. But since you've offered a brief, stand-alone infernal sex-horror piece, I figured I'd stop by and check it out.
Very enjoyable and well-done, Simone. I really like the Victorian period-piece verbal patina to this one. I can see this guy--a typical, uptight Victorian male, being burned to the ground by this irresistible siren. You've managed to capture his apprehensiveness about the whole thing too--he really can't believe his luck, but convention and "propriety" demands that he can't let on that he is--he comes off as passionate as a block of ice. That's what the whole Victorian repression thing was all about anyway, until D.H. Lawrence blew the lid off the whole hypocritical nonsense--and nearly got burned at the stake for it!
Great little stand-alone bit of period erotic horror. Kind of like a brief, verbal version of a Hammer Horror flick!

Short, powerful, leaves enough gaps to stimulate the imagination - loved this piece
Thank you John that's really great to know as it was my exact intention when writing it.
