Here's my take. I like to know what happens behind the closed doors. I'm nosy. When the movie gets to the part where there's the long kiss then the fade out, I want to know what happens next. Did they go bow-chicka-wow-wow? Go home? Just kiss? I want to know!
Another thing about me is when I'm reading a story that's really plugging along. It's getting tense and the sexual energy is high, then BOOM. Door closes. I'm the one slumping in my seat and frowning. I want to see what happened! Did they go all the way? Or realize being friends are better?
In the case of the Phantom, there's a lot of sexual energy teeming there. And there are so many places where, with just a little nudge, the characters could jump right into the hot stuff. So that's where I ran. Yep. I read and reread the story enough that I felt I'd immersed myself in it and looked for those ways to weave in the heat. I didn't plunk the hot stuff in there. Nope. I sought ways to weave it in so it felt organic for the reader. I researched the clothing of the time to make sure the divesting went correctly.
I worked hard to ensure the book is a good read for those who want a little heat between the characters. One thing I have to add, the story does stick to Gaston Leroux's original text. I didn't change the ending and I didn't take any parts out. So if you're looking for a hot version of Leroux's work, then this is where you want to go! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did when I was writing the hot scenes!
