Welcome to a very special hump day. Thank you to the creative Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.
I haven’t written finished a paranormal story, but I do have this new club that could have a spooky element if I wasn’t such a romance writer. So, I’ve decided to indulge today and give you a peek at the next couple on my erotic romance to do list and show you a bit of the work that went into opening Club Blind.
Be sure to come back on Friday. I’ll be sharing this same scene from Marcus’s point of view.
Enjoy.
______________
Gina ran down the stairs armed with her directive from Master Keller, but also to finally find out what Marcus was up to. She had no idea why he ranked so high on Keller’s list. If Marcus was up to something shady, she’d make sure he answered for it.
Keller told her she’d find Marcus in the basement. She opened the heavy door to the final set of stairs and found the first bland looking corner of the building. The walls were cinder-block and the stairs were nothing but wood planks. She searched for a light switch and found none, luckily there was just enough light. She skipped down a couple steps, eager to complete her mission. The door shut behind her with a quite whoosh and then nothing. She no longer heard the club members or the music from the club above.
Once at the bottom of the stairs, she was greeted by more cinder-block, these were painted black. There were a few naked light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, but still no light switches. The hall was lined with doorways and they all seemed to open to the same emptiness, black rooms with no doors.
“What is this place?” A sinking feeling filled her gut. She searched the corners for cobwebs and found none, not even a speck of dust on the cold dark floor. She did find one door in the long hall. Slowly, she pushed it open and revealed an overly white space filled with lockers and then the lights went out.
“Shit.” She let the door close and backed up a step into the hallway. “Marcus.” She looked left, right and saw nothing but black. She closed her eyes and felt her way to the hallway wall. Soothing music poured into the space. She couldn’t place the speakers. They seemed to be surrounding her.
There were times in her life she hadn’t felt safe and she told herself this wasn’t one of them. Her heartbeat continued its rise. She was still in Keller’s building and she knew Marcus was here somewhere.
“Marcus.” She reached out in front of her. Nothing.
She took a deep breath and pressed her palms against the wall behind her back, the grooves in the blocks grounding her. She knew where she was, but why was she here? Upstairs she knew what to do, whatever the Dom demanded. An intense heat warmed her from within. What would be asked of her in a space like this, one where she couldn’t even see?
She tucked her hair behind her ear, the movement feeling more intense, more deliberate. She felt her way up her arm, around her neck, and to her chest. She arched her back, wishing she had a Dom here now commanding her next move.
“Marcus,” she called into the nothing.

Blurb:
Jane thinks she’s ready to take the risks her business and love life desperately need. Rob’s still punishing himself for a broken relationship that wasn’t meant to last. When the pair let an opportunity pass them by, fate steps in and throws them back together.
An evening of pitch black unrestrained passion at Club Blind opens her eyes to life’s possibilities. Now, if they don’t fight past their personal demons, they might never truly discover what they need most. If they can open their hearts, it might lead them directly to each other where they can discover their truth. If not, they may forever stay in the blind.

Oh Keller! I see what he’s up to again. 😉
Gina. Gina. Gina. Can’t wait to see what Marcus has in store for her! 🙂
Keller sure knows how to make things interesting.
Gina really has no idea what’s headed her way. Actually, Marcus doesn’t either. Bwahaha. 😉
Great tease, S.J. Very intense. I was as nervous as Gina was, wondering what lurked around the corner.
What a great way to test boundaries. Intense tease, S.J. 🙂
Ooo that was chilling! I could totally feel her terror. I can’t wait to read Marcus’s POV from the same scene! *claps excitedly*
Thanks for teasing along with our Halloween theme, SJ!
Wow! The cinder block, the darkness, the club sounds disappearing and then me sitting here wondering if Marcus is really in there, hoping like heck he is! I have In the Blind on my Kindle and I cannot wait to read it. Also looking forward to Marcus’ POV from this project. Fabulous snippet, S.J.!
Fab tease, bought the book but not had chance to start it yet, 🙂
Awesome tease! I so want to read this book. I’m off to get me a copy 🙂
I’ve got chills, SJ. That, right there would be my idea of a nightmare. I have an unreasonable fear of dark spaces, lol.
Dom or not, she’s braver than I’d be if the lights suddenly went out in an already dark and windowless, and seemingly deserted space. Shudder. Well done, SJ.
Funny how quickly things turn “spooky” when the lights go out. A simple corridor (or closet) has a whole different feel.
Ooh, spooky indeed. Great tease SJ!

Who or what on earth was in there with her? So intense and scary! Nice tease, SJ.
