I'm starting to work on a larger novella/novel that has been percolating for a few months. When I write longer erotica stories that I'm not sure will become novels or series, or maybe just short stories I start with a specific scene that I want to weave into a larger story. I also create backgrounds of the plot, characters, and anything else that I feel I'm going to need to reference later: Character types, histories, and personality traits are all important to keep track of and sometimes can get easily forgotten amid a long writing session. In essence, this is the start of my world-building process.
So I thought I’d include a look at my writing process, and also help give background information to where and how this scene is coming about...I know it isn't conventional, but it works for me and every writer is different. I hope you enjoy this scene and helps get you excited about future scenes as the story builds.
The following scene is 18+ Its rough and primal.
Realm of Fire and Ice
_______________
Primary Characters:
Nicoli (Nic): Demon - King and Leader of the Demon Legion
Thea: Siren - Rescued during Gareth's raid on her island of Mor
Phoenix (Nix): Demon - Closest friend to Nicoli, Chief of Strategy, and Ambassador of Demons
Apollo: Demon - High-ranking warrior

_______________
Background Plot:
As war rages between creatures across the islands. Nicoli, leader and Lord of the legion of Demons is wracked with frustration and torment as he’s learned their chief ally to the north, Apollo, has been secretly working for their enemy. Thea, a siren who had come to Nicoli after her island was destroyed by the war, has spent the last year training with the demons under Nicioli and Phoenix's guidance. While some sirens fled, she stayed to fight and nearly lost her life against the beasts sent to rid the island of her people. Nicoli heard of the raid on the Island of Mor (Thea's home) and dispatched his legion to push the enemy back. He found Thea during a heated battle with a beast and pulled her from the island just before it was overrun and he too had to pull his legion back. Thea has been wrought with guilt over the loss of her home and her people being scattered or killed. She has been training as a member of Nicoli’s legion. While Nicoli’s legion primarily trains beyond the gates of their fortress, Nicoli has taken to training Thea himself in his private training grounds until she can fight among the other demon warriors.
_______________
Characteristics:
Sirens:
Sirens live on the Island of Mor and tend to be petite, yet fierce. They possess powers related to the element of water and tend to be highly musical with enchanting voices. They are often shunned by other creatures and tribes in the realm because of their perceived promiscuity and playful nature. Human women over the years have spread rumors of terror, painting the sirens as deceitful, murderous creatures that will lure any man to a watery grave in an effort to keep their husbands from the creatures for fear they would steal them away. Sirens tend to be slender, but with strong legs for swimming. Their features are delicate with large dark blue or green eyes. They are far more playful and joyous than their historical representations and do not eat humans as the rumors suggest, but instead eat primarily fish and crustaceans, along with vegetation from the sea.
Demons:
Demons live throughout the islands and mainlands. They attend training as young ones to determine if they will be educated as warriors or continue to other roles in the villages. Warriors possess elemental powers of fire and stone. They are revered by most creatures and tribes because of their brut strength and precision on the battlefield. Humans do not cross into their territories, but they are protectors of all creatures. Their features tend to be large and muscular, with flexible light bones, winged, with a slender, long tail ending in an arrow-like tip. Most demons also possess tattoos that cover their bodies, marking the battles they win and the region they fight for. They are master blacksmiths and strategists.

Scene:
Nicoli just learned of the betrayal from his lieutenant, Zestial, who was dispatched to gain intel from the allies closest to the front lines. The war has been waged for nearly a two years and this blow has him second-guessing every choice he makes. He sits in the dining hall which has become the center for strategy planning while sipping a hard drink and trying to decide what his next move must be.
Thea, after a day in the training ring, spending more and more time there to practice movements, shields, and strikes has come in to check in with Nicoli on his meeting with Zestial.
_______________
“How was the…”
Thea stopped halfway into the room. Her footsteps came to a complete halt as she looked at Nicoli. His drink in hand as he sat in the finely carved chair, his other hand on his temple. Maps and notes lined the table in front of him.
“That bad?” she asked as she began slowly walking to the decanter at the end of the table, pouring the amber liquid into the crystal glass for herself.
Nic growled slightly as he placed his own cup on the table and rubbed his palms over his temples before slumping back into his chair.
“Apollo’s allegiance lies with Gareth. He’s been using us to gather intel. Zestial confirmed it last night during his meeting with Cane and Emelia. Everything that’s been talked about… every plan, every move… Apollo was there.”
Nic growled low and Thea jumped as his fists came down on the table so hard it cracked the wood beneath. “Apollo betrayed his own people! His own LEGION!”
Thea took a seat next to Nicoli, setting her glass on the table. The pain and betrayal in Nicoli’s eyes were evident. The realization that his brother turned his back on him.
Thea had spent the last several months working so close to Nicoli that they were nearly in sync in their movements. While there had always been a sense of tension between them, as their time together grew, so did the game of cat and mouse... catching glances, feeling his cock grow hard under her while sparing during training sessions. Then there was knowing he had seen her touching herself the other night. Even when their eyes caught, he didn’t look away but instead waited for her to nod in invitation for him to look. She did, and darted her eyes to the swell in his training leathers and mentally invited him to enjoy himself as she was doing in changing stalls near the outdoor training ring. By the time she had opened her eyes after allowing herself to reach orgasm, knowing he was watching, he was gone from the door and she was unsure of herself again.
She was done playing the games. And seeing the pain in his eyes, the frustration etched on his face and body, she couldn't take it.
She stood, still clad in her training leather, and placed a hand on Nicoli’s chin, tilting it up. “He betrayed his people, but he signed his death by doing it. You are Nicoli…Leader of the Demons… and Apollo just made a grave mistake. He will pay dearly… But do not forget…” She braced her hands on the carved wooden arms of his chair and leaned in to brush a kiss on his neck.
“You are Lord…”
Nicoli’s breath caught as she pressed her lips to the heated skin of his neck, just under his ear. She did so again, this time lower to the exposed collarbone peeking out from his open green shirt.
A shiver went up his spine as she placed a soft kiss in the center of his throat, and then licked it. The feeling of her tongue grazing his soft skin instantly caused his cock to harden.
Nicoli shifted in his chair, letting out a low growl. He wanted to reach out, to clasp her hips, but he dug them into the chair’s arms.
“Thea… I…” He didn’t want to hurt her. It had been so long since his last mate. He didn’t want to hurt Thea, to see her fearful of his size and run. He wanted this distraction more than anything, but the idea of hurting her...he couldn't risk it.
She met his eyes and gave a feline smile. “Please,” As if reading his mind, “You can’t break me…” her voice laden with desire. “I want this.” She nuzzled his neck and breathed him in. “Please…” her voice almost a whisper, a plea, but yet laced with need.
Nicoli’s breath caught again and he swallowed hard. He tentatively placed his hands on her hips. The muscles of her legs making the leather smooth and hot caused his cock to pulse with need.
Thea kissed him again on his neck, licking just below his ear as she placed a hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat jutting into her palm.
She pulled back to give a feline grin once more just before she slid between him and the table. She leaned forward and kissed him deeply, her tongue running along his lips begging for entrance. He opened to her. He went to reach for her hips, to pull her on his lap and she began to kneel.
He pulled back in his chair, his eyes lidded as he watched her. “Thea…”
“Please,” she said as her wide, catlike teal eyes locked on his, her smile devilish and wanting as one hand reached for his leather pants, his cock hard, begging for release. She began to unbutton his shirt, her eyes never wavering, his hands fixed to the arms of the chair.
He held her gaze, even as she unfastened the top of his pants.
Her smile curled as she slid her hand along his length and Nicoli gave a wicked grin.
Thea may have been small, but her frame and size were a harsh illusion for the strength that lay beneath her. She knelt between Nicoli’s legs and as she looked up, and realized how incredibly large he was compared to her frame.
Nicoli’s eyes turned even more demonic as he held her gaze. “Are you sure you can handle this?”
Thea’s eyes went wholly dark as she held the gaze. “Can you?”
Her fingers were steady, sure, as she unfastened the last button on his pants.
She felt his muscles tighten against her as she pulled his cock free. Now it was her turn for her breath to catch. Her jaw slightly dropped as her eyes widen and she beheld his cock, ridged, beautiful, and enormous. She had been with plenty of men in the past but had never seen, or imagined, a cock this large.
She had a momentary pause while she studied his girth, how it pulsed with need, glistening with droplets of his desire.
Thea closed her mouth and it twisted into a wicked smile. Nic shifted slightly in his chair, an invitation to touch him.
Her eyes lowered, fixing on his cock. She reached her fingers to him, allowing them to gently trail along his thick, long shaft. He felt exquisite…skin so perfectly soft, yet ridged and hard as his sword. He let out a soft gasp as her hand wrapped around his base and she looked up at him, holding his gaze.
Nicoli’s breath caught again, his mind going completely primal, at a loss for words at the sight.
Dear gods, just seeing her eyes, sultry and lidded with that wicket smile and her hand wrapped around his cock, barely able to fully get her fingers around it, desire blazing in her eyes was enough to nearly make him cum.
“Beautiful…” she said as began to stroke him, soft at first, carefully watching him.
She gripped him tighter and stroked again. Nic’s head went back for a moment as his breath became quicker, his back arching slightly. Her eyes lifted to his and he met her gaze once more.
Thea allowed her hand to grip harder still, her fingertips pressing hard into the underside of his shaft.
Nic growled in response, his cock pulsed with need, as he breathed through gritted teeth, “More…”
This time, Thea began twisting her hand along the shaft, squeezing hard, her nails gliding under his shaft just boarding on pain. Reaching his dripping head, she allowed her fingers to glide over it before sliding back down.
He arched off the wooden chair and Thea slammed a hand to his hips, pinning him in place.
“I see you like it rough.” She purred. He tried to arch further into her hand, but she allowed her hand to stop stroking and she held his gaze. “You are going to sit right there.”
Nicoli let out a low growl and Thea could have sworn a flicker of flames danced in his eyes.
Thea tilted her head down and let her tongue glide across the small slit over his broad tip, licking up the droplet of cum already waiting for her.
The moment she tasted it, everything in her body melted as a surge of arousal gathered between her legs as his delicious taste hit her mouth. A mixture of salty, sweet, and spice that she couldn’t place, but wanted to devour every drop.
“Fuck… Oh, gods,” Nicoli panted.
There was nothing more intoxicating to Thea than to hear those words, knowing that she was the cause of that pleasure. She wanted more, she wanted to push him further. Thea sucked his broad head into her mouth as her tongue skillfully gilded down the sensitive part under his cock, taking him as far into her mouth as he would go.
Nic’s head leaned back against his chair as he let out a groan “fuuuck…”
Cracking of the arms of his chair could be heard as his nails grew sharp, digging in to keep him from bucking forward into her mouth.
Thea’s core was molten, the wetness growing as the sounds of him echoed through her. She licked up the full length of his cock in a long, fluid motion. Feeling that hot, proud steel against her mouth made her want to worship every inch of his body. She had known he was large, but never could have imagined his cock being so incredibly massive and tasting like something from a dream.
Licking and coating his cock, she reached the top once more and placed her lips around him, pulling him deep into her until he could feel the tip nearly on the back of her throat. She realized she would need both hands to continue stroking his full length.
“Thea,” he pleaded as she began gliding her hands and mouth in unison over his cock, pulling him nearly all the way out before swallowing him down greedily as far as it would go, relaxing her throat enough to get as far as possible.
Nicoli arched, his hand darting into her hair as he tried to pull her head back for fear he may be unable to stop himself from slamming into her. He didn't want to hurt her. Didn't want to lose control.
Thea moaned as she took him in her mouth again, the vibration of her pleasure reverberating through him and she pushed herself further, fighting against his protest, begging for him to go deeper still. She had warned him that he couldn’t hurt her, and she wanted him to let his demon nature out, to be primal and lost in his desire. She wanted him to fuck her mouth hard and rough.
She fully intended on pushing him to the very edge of sanity with pleasure. She wanted every bit of his demon nature to be unleashed.
She took him in again and this time allowed her teeth to graze his cock, just boarding on pain, and Nicoli growled and bucked down her throat. She moaned in response, squeezing and pumping his cock in time with her mouth.
She pulled back just enough to allow her lips to just cover the tip of his cock and she rolled her tongue around it, savoring every bit of him, and allowed her eyes to lift and peirce his gaze.
His eyes went wide as he had already been watching every movement and catching her feline, lust-filled eyes with his own. His gaze was drunk on need and the sight of her looking up at him, like a pleasure goddess, he lost all control.
It was torturous to see Thea, on her knees with his cock in her hands and mouth, greedily taking every inch of his massive length and still wanting more. Her eyes, her mouth, which somehow still managed to denote a primal grin while she licked and played ontop his dripping tip was too much to bear. He knew Phoenix was just down the hall. He knew members of his legion could walk in and see him getting his cocked sucked by this delicious siren. Knew they could likely already hear his moans and growls of pleasure.
He didn’t care anymore. Nicoli’s other hand ran through her hair, gripping her long, soft hair, and he thrust up into her mouth and down her throat.
She moaned as she felt his cock hit the back of her throat and the vibration sent a shudder through his cock, down his spine, making his balls tighten as he felt a heated knot gathering. His release he knew would be his undoing and with every lick, every drag of her teeth, he arched further into her mouth, a demon completely at her mercy.
Thea continued to moan in pleasure, squeezing her thighs, her pussy aching to have his length buried inside her, filling her to the point of pain. She could feel her wetness leaking now, down her still leather-clad legs.
She let out a soft yet primal moan once more as her tongue curled along the underside of his cock and Nicoli lost it.
He had to unleash himself.
Gripping her head through her silken hair, holding her in place, he fucked her mouth as he bucked and thrust up into her, their gaze locked, her hand working in time with every thrust. She gripped him tight and the torture of the release building was too much. He needed to fuck her, wanted to finish inside her, feeling her slick tight pussy gripping him from the inside. He’d seen her naked only once and had caught glimpses here and there after training, but he needed to have that silken skin on him, around him, consuming him. He wanted to hear her roar his name, her body scorching with heat the way she was doing to him.
He pulled back, “I need to fuck you. I need that cunt on my cock… “ his voice laden with demonic power and lust.
Thea only looked at him, her sultry eyes narrowing and a sense of a wicked grin behind them appeared as she gripped his cock even harder as he watched it disappear so far down her throat he thought for sure he would choke her, but she only continued without hesitation or faltering. A siren intending to devour her prey.
“Fucking hell…”
He clenched his teeth. “I want to finish inside you.”
Thea’s mouth left his cock for a mere moment while she continued to stroke him hard with her hands, “I’m going to swallow every drop of your cum while you fuck my mouth, and when I’m done you fuck any hole you like, my Lord…”
Before he could protest, Thea sucked his cock down so deep that he couldn’t stop it. She dipped one hand further into his leathers and cupped his balls, giving them a squeeze with another primal moan coming from deep in her throat.
Oh gods…
Nicoli came with a roar that damn near splintered the chair, his nails nearly scratching the back of her head as he spilled into her, down her throat, filling her with his cum.
Like a skilled warrior, she held strong, taking every bit of it down her throat, greedily.
Nicoli came for what seemed like ages, and Thea relished in seeing him completely at her mercy, a demon unleashed. When his release was finally spent, she smoothly slid her mouth off him, licking the last drops of his cum from the tip, and gracefully gave the corners of her mouth a small wipe of her thumb. Her lips swollen and red, curled into a smile that looked wholly devilish.
Nicoli sat slumped in his chair, claw marks clear as day on the arms. His cock, still hard, slick with a mixture of her and him still leaking as he continued to gaze down at her as he panted and returned the same wicked grin.
Thea stood, eyeing his cock with pride and desire. Her leathers were clinging to her skin, her skin hot and slick, her nipples hard under her teal shirt that perfectly matched her eyes. The scent of her arousal and need caused his cock to grow hard again and Nicoli let his eyes trail down her body.
“Now, I’m going to fuck your pussy twice as hard as I fucked your mouth.”
Thea’s eyes snapped back to his and that deliciously wicked grin he enjoyed so much sent arousal through his spine straight to his cock. He was going to fuck her until the chair broke, and then fuck her on the table, against the wall, and on the floor until she was unable to move or sit the next day.
He didn’t care that anyone else would walk in… let them see. He needed her pussy around cock, on his mouth, gripping his fingers. He would claim every inch of her.
Thea began pulling the strings of her pants and Nicoli stood, cock jutting forward, and he went to rip the shirt from her when the sounds of thick boots could be heard coming down the hall.
“Shit…” Thea stepped away, tying up her leathers once more, grabbing her drink, and making her way to the other side of the table.
Nicoli quickly stuffed his dripping cock back into his pants, cursing as he did so, and tried to cool himself. The room was easily 20 degrees hotter than it should be thanks to his fire magic, and Thea seemed to understand. She closed her eyes and conjured a soft breeze through the room to clear the heat, as well as the scent of sex.
Nicoli took his seat just as Phoenix appeared in the doorway. He stopped when he saw Thea, his eyes darting to her hair which looked like it had just gone through a hurricane, and Nicoli, flushed as they both saw the claw marks in his chair.
“Nic… Thea…” Phoenix said with a knowing smirk as he began sauntering to decanter and poured himself into one of the crystal glasses nearby.
“Nix…” Nicoli said, a clear annoyance in his voice. Nicoli took a long sip of his drink.
Thea eyed Nix for a moment with equal annoyance and tipped her cup back pounding down the remainder of her drink in a single gulp.
Nicoli couldn’t help but catch the sight out of the corner of his eye and instantly felt his cock stiffen slightly, thinking about how she was able to gulp every bit of him down without spilling a drop. Thea only winked at him before setting the cup on the table and turning to Phoenix.
“Your timing is shit.” She said as she started to walk toward the door at the other end of the room.
One thing about Thea; she had no issue speaking her mind.
That's what both Nicoli and Phoenix liked about her. No bullshit. Sirens had a reputation for being sultry, sure, but tended to be rather… annoying. They always wanted to play or dance around, never taking anything seriously, and were more like mischievous little nymphs than the calculus devils of the sea that humans spent centuries painting them out to be.
Thea was different. She was methodical, ruthless, and as fierce as any demon in his legion. She could joke around with the warriors, sure. But, when it came time to plan, she was cunning and decisive. Nothing like any siren he had ever known or heard of before. She also possessed more elemental powers than the typical water magic of her people, making her a significant asset in his legion. When all others on her island fled, she stayed, knowing she would surely die. Yet, she fought.
That’s what made Nicoli take notice at first. And what made him watch her closely for weeks because even her scent was different from other sirens. Then the arousal started to set in and he knew he needed to stay away. Demons tend to be immune to the call of the sirens, and yet…he felt himself pulled to her.
Nicoli snapped back from his thoughts and met Nix’s gaze. Phoenix only let his wicked grin widen. “Well damn… I wish I had been invited to this little party. From the scent in the room, I missed something good.” He knew exactly what he missed.
Thea leaned over the table, staring him down, “Jealous, Nix? I thought you were above such things.” She stood and poured herself another drink, turning to lean against the wall this time, surveying the demons.
“Oh I wouldn’t say jealous, but if you two are going to be fucking in the middle of our war room, at least let me know in advance unless you plan to send an invitation next time.” Nicoli shot his friend a glare.
Thea sauntered over to Nix and leaned near his ear. “That's real cute at all… but the fact is, we’d both break you.” She finished her drink and proceeded to walk to the other end of the room to the door leading to her quarters, giving her hips an extra sway, her gaze on Nicoli, knowing Nix’s eyes were fixed on her ass.
Thea brushed a hand on Nic’s shoulder and gave it squeeze, her nails digging in slightly. “Good night.” She said with a wink, and proceeded to saunter off to bed. “Always a pleasure, Nix.”
“Hmm.. Something tells me it was your pleasure.” Phoenix leaned back in his chair.
Nicoli shot him a glare. “Oh fuck off…”
Phoenix chuckled. “We made a deal that she was off-limits. If the rest of the demons get word you’re fucking a siren…” Nix shot him a look that clearly said “You know what that will do to us.”
Nix sighed, “But, I will be the first to admit I can’t blame you. She’s…” his head tilted and a wicked curl to his smile appeared. “intriguing in many ways.”
Nicoli shook his head and chuckled, “Forever the fuck demon.”
“Hey, I came in to check on you and see how the meeting with Zestial went. I find you getting your cock sucked, quite well I might add, by our siren-in-arms. Cut me some slack if I say I’m rather curious about what the fuck happened in here.” Nix pointed at Nicoli. “And no, I’m not jealous… but I am VERY curious.”
Nicoli laughed, his earlier annoyance and frustration chased away. Even with the news from Zestial, for some reason… it didn’t seem to matter as much. He glanced at the doorway that Thea had walked through and back at Nix. “Its complicated.”
