N’awlins Exotica: Taking Erotica to Another Level

Sharita Lira

With all authors, I believe they have a favorite book or series that has a special place in their hearts. Not saying I don’t love all my books but the N’awlins series is definitely one of the highlights of my short writing career.

In this series, I’m tapping into taboos while taking readers through the lovely city of New Orleans. Why NOLA? Well, I adore the city, its rich tradition, the diversity, and the architecture is very inspiring. I’ve visited New Orleans three times and I’m on my way back in two weeks! Why you ask? Because every time I travel to Louisiana I get a little bit more inspiration. And if you’re an author, you know about the muses; when they hit, you have to take advantage.

Last February, I went to Mardi Gras to enjoy the festivities of the one of the biggest celebrations in the world. We attended several parades, gathered plenty of beads, but more importantly for me, I found more things to inspire future stories.

During my trip, the first book, I Like ‘Em Pretty was in edits. So much of what I’d wanted to write was already in the story. However, for this next book, I Love it Rough and those thereafter I plan to hash out more of what I observed, showing you the beautiful place that inspired my series.

Of course, the back drop, the N’awlins Exotica Entertainment complex is not real but it’s a place in my head that seems to fit the character of New Orleans. Everyone’s heard the stories of NOLA. You can drink on the streets; people are a lot more loose and free et cetera. Then there’s the food, the big party atmosphere that happens all throughout the year, not just around Mardi Gras. New Orleans has so much to offer to its residents and tourists and I hope as I get deeper into this series, I want to bring more of that out in the collection.

Besides that, there’s a sexy undertone to New Orleans. The music, culture, the art is what keeps people coming back. Seemingly artists who want to be inspired flock to New Orleans to find something to write, paint, and or sing about. For me it’s the raw sexuality coupled by the gritty reality that is New Orleans. No kind of crime and or violence is sexy but it unfortunately it happens in the Big Easy just as in any other large city. Despite this, N’awlins still holds its charm and people aren’t scared away.

On the other side, there’s also plenty of magic and fascination with the paranormal. As you may or may not know, stories of vampires and witches rule this town with many of its inhabitants convinced of some of the old tales that many haven’t believed. In N’awlins Exoitica Paranormal, I tap into that as well with my twins Ryland and Ryder, 300 year old vampires who are trying to survive in the modern world. At this point all they have is each other but in this latest book, they join the cast of N’awlins Exotica. This means a twist! *grins*

During this series, I hope to entertain readers with some erotic romance and the gritty reality that is New Orleans. By splicing in a little bit about the traditions, the atmosphere, as well as the magic, I’m aiming to paint a picture that makes people who haven’t traveled there, curious about the city of NOLA.

In my view there’s something sexy about New Orleans. Perhaps it’s the underlying seediness, the magic, or maybe the stories that keep me going back. In the N’awlins Exotica series, I’m hoping to show you what inspires and draws me to the city called the Big Easy.

FEAST YOUR EYES on this little peak -

Kajika, Kajika?” Frankie dropped his duffel at the door and locked it tight. The lights were dim and smells of vanilla incense wafted through his nostrils. “Babe, you here?” Frankie frowned and ran his hands over his smooth dome. “I thought you left me a message to…” He dropped his gaze to the floor and eyed a single envelope. “Hmm, what’s this?” Frankie picked it up and grinned, looking at Kajika’s beautiful penmanship. The light brown envelope smelled of Kajika’s sweet scent and a small set of lips were on the seam of the letter. “Ooohkay, baby, what are you up to now?” Frankie unfolded it and read:

Dear Frankie Choteau,

This ticket admits you to a special performance by Kajika Fortier, Native American Hunk D’ Jour. As soon as you arrive, please take a seat in the chair closest to the stage and feel free to enjoy the refreshments.

Thank you

“Oh yeah? A special performance hmm?” Frankie stroked his newly trimmed goatee and headed for the basement where Kajika’s practice area had been installed for the past couple of months. Despite his disdain for Kajika’s occupation, he fully supported his need to perfect his craft.

“Alrighty, then.” Frankie sniffed the note once again and made a sharp right to the basement door. Anxious to see what his man had come up with, he bounded downstairs and sprinted to the seat closest to the platform as asked. “Nice place.” Frankie chuckled and slid into the chair, sighing when his butt touched the covered seat. Fully relaxed, he grabbed one of the Heinekens out of the ice bucket and popped it open with his personal opener. “Now, I’m comfortable; where is the entertainment?” Frankie loosened his jacket and leaned on his knees, tapping his feet against the hardwood floors. Regardless of their dispute or his fascination with Orrin, Frankie knew he was still head over heels in love with Kajika Fortier. He’d been looking forward to getting back with his baby after the successful capture of Surenthia Jakes’ killer. Their reunion was the perfect way to end a dangerous but great day.

Frankie took another swig of his beer and several red and blue lights went off over his head. A familiar bass line filled the room, causing a smile to come to his face. “Mhmm, more Janet Jackson and, damn, I love this song.” Frankie nodded to the beat and eyed the stage, watching his lover come out dressed in a black g-string and thigh high black boots with silver buckles. His long black tresses were tied back in a ribbon with the rest flowing over his muscled shoulders. “Damn, baby, whew!” Frankie fanned himself, knowing he was in for a treat. Yeah, he hated that Kajika showed his pretty ass off to the masses but when it was just for him, he didn’t have one single complaint. Kajika was by far the most gorgeous individual on earth.

“Baby, do you mind, touching me…” Janet’s sweet voice filled the air along with heavy breathing and a slow, fuck me beat.

Kajika spun on one heel and kicked one leg up in the air, touching the silver metal pole in front of him. He wrapped his arms around it and held on, twirling around until his plump ass hit the stage. He moved to the electric thump, shifting his shoulders from left to right and winking at Frankie as he did so. The look in his eye was wicked, playful, something that drew Frankie and many others in.

“Damn, babe. You know I love it when you dance for me.” Frankie finished his beverage and set the empty on the table. He pulled his jacket off, tossing it to the side while he continued to ogle his man.

Fucking Orrin is hot but not like my man.

Frankie still didn’t feel guilty for his actions, nor was he ready to let go the notion of the two of them getting together. However, he knew he’d never leave Kajika for anyone else, despite the temptation. He’d found his soul mate, the man he’d always been wishing for. No way would he ever let that go. “Baby, I’m all yours, I promise.”

Kajika didn’t say a word, only kept dancing and moving along with the tune. He did a backwards somersault and a split with his legs outstretched, humping the floor. Kajika grinned at Frankie and wagged his tongue while he pulled at the thin strings covering his most treasured prize. Once he got them all undone, he flicked it at Frankie and stood up straight, not even covering his erection.

“Whew!” Frankie watched it fall in front of him. He grabbed another beer and leaned back, running his hand over his crotch. He was rock solid, practically bulging out of his pants, wanting to get into Kajika right away. Fuck the routine. Frankie stroked himself through his polyester slacks, running his fingertips over his swollen balls while the other tilted the bottle towards his mouth. “Holy shit, babe. You are…”

Kajika kicked his leg up again, still keeping in rhythm for the last parts of the song. He wrapped his leg around the pole and swung until his was upside down, spreading his thighs to give Frankie a better view.

“Fuck baby!” Frankie cursed and yanked his pants apart, busting the zipper. He took his swollen dick in hand, dragging his thumb through the pre-cum seeping through the slit. Frankie plopped the bottle on the table, forgetting about wanting another beverage. In front of him was something a lot more satisfying. “Holy shit, Kajika! I swear you got me so hard right now.”

Kajika leaned his head back and stretched his legs out again. “Really, Choteau? You want me?”

Frankie stopped jerking and spat on his hand. When he took hold to his dick again, he sped up his movements. It wouldn’t be too long before he was ready to explode. “Fuck yes, Kajika. Get your pretty little ass over here and ride my cock, baby!”
