Seduced by Monsters: Ghost Crews

Authors’ Note:

Ember Jade is one of the females that’s held captive with Sybelle at the Monstera Stronghold on Governor’s Island. She’s mentioned briefly, but she always was meant to have a story as her life and her men are...unique in a world of unique.

Seduced by Monsters takes place a few months before the events in Marked by Monsters. This is why this story is not a true HFN, or HEA, because this is just the beginning of things for them... So when you read, understand that the end is not a cliffy, it takes you up to the story in Marked by Monsters.

We hope you enjoy the smutty smut in this one. The guys are naughty as hell.

Dags and Aurora

Chapter 1

This offer is one I know you won’t be able to refuse, Calvin Silvester, CEO of Sinn Unlimited, said to Ember Jade as she walked into the office. The meeting had been set just a few hours before and clearly he wasn’t going to beat around the bush or open with pleasantries. He stood and went to her, shaking her hand and smiling, showing her even, white teeth, his canines just a touch longer, signaling him as Nocta. So let’s talk turkey, eh? He motioned for her to sit in the heavily padded chair and then sat in his own behind the desk.

The office looked like any producer’s office, the walls covered with large playbills of the movies Sinn Unlimited had produced in the past five years, though these were his big money earners, and right behind him she stared back at herself from behind glass, her sensual come hither look the focus of the visual with the name of the flick just under her chin. Fireplay.

Ember, he continued, "your last movie was, to put it mildly, intense and beautiful. Fireplay has outsold every other movie we have put out this year and in less than three weeks. You are hot and this idea is going to cement your star in AVN history. He took a sip from his mug, which, if she were betting, was filled with blood. Sinn Unlimited wants you to star in something very different, a full Monstera feature."

Monstera? For a moment she was stunned. What kind of Monstera are we talking about? What makes this more special than any other porno with Monstera in it? Brazen Inc. released a gangbang movie with a Nocta in it just last week.

He considered her. While innovative, this goes beyond that. My people are...well, let’s just say that while I’m sure the starlet enjoyed it, she wasn’t in any danger. Actual Monstera are their own breed. He chuckled as if he knew some inside joke she wasn’t party to. No other movie has ever had more than one Monstera in the cast and all of those Monstera had had...experience with their newly transitioned side. He smirked.

We are proposing a four Monstera movie and it will be all of their first fucks as Monstera. He smiled at her. Now, before you say no, all four of them are veterans of the industry and I believe you know at least one of them personally, having worked with him in the past—Ransom Marks? As to what kind of Monstera, I think it’s best that you talk with them about that and about what to expect.

Thank you for considering me, but I'm not an idiot. I've heard the horror stories about Monstera accidentally killing their partners. We all have. I don't want to do that on screen—even with Ransom. The guy might be a professional and sort of a friend, but doing this untried just for views is insane. Grabbing her handbag, she rose to her feet. Have a nice day.

None of it interests you? Calvin said with a sly sound in his voice. Not even the proposed back end of the deal?

It would have to be one hell of a back end for me to risk my life like that. Ember shook her head. Look, I don't mind kink and I can take a little pain with the best of them, but four untried Monstera? I could end up maimed for life and that's if I even survive making the movie. I don't know what you think you can offer me that would make that risk worth it.

How about the controlling stake in Sinn? he said, giving her a pointed look. Look, Ember, I’m getting out of the business, he said softly. Katja, my female, she wants to leave the life, find her others, have children, he said evenly. She knew Katja Mortensa and she’d had no idea they were together. Katja was extremely popular, up until about a year ago when she did her farewell movie, with all young and human males, just before their transition. "I’m inclined to give her what she asks. Leaving leaves a hole, though, and this industry needs someone that will treat the performers correctly, someone that understands the needs of the industry. I learned from scratch, but putting someone in the driver’s seat who doesn’t know the industry would be devastating for the company.

We aren’t doing badly financially and I’m not tossing you a sinking ship. You have the business acumen to handle this. It’s a job, not a lifestyle, for you. You could leave performing and take the role I’m in without batting an eyelid if you wanted to.

But you barely know me. Disbelief made her tone sharp. I've done one movie for your company. What makes you think I'm in any way cut out to manage it? You weren’t even on the set—it was a director. She had her own doubts that she could manage a company this size. Sinn was one of the biggest names in the business, producing dozens of films per month, as well as managing cam girls. It was a huge enterprise.

Honestly I didn’t. Katja did. He settled back. She said that, of all the new talent that came in, you have the most self-worth and self-reliance. You won’t sign with any one company, working freelance. You aren’t an addict, but you are professional and hold your contacts and relationships in this industry in high regard. And those contacts hold you in high regard. Especially the four men you would be working with. Katja thinks this company needs a woman at the helm, to bring it forward, and she wants you.

He stood again and walked around his desk and leaned against it, crossing his ankles. Controlling stake means controlling stake. Everyone that has worked with you in this company has vouched for your resourcefulness, your candor and your professionalism. So no, I don’t know you, but I know people who do. Katja knows people who do, and when asked, your name keeps coming up.

So why make the movie a condition? she asked. You have to know that it's going to be extreme. There's a chance I might get really badly hurt here. And you've told me nothing about these Monstera. You said they were all in porn before their transitions and obviously I know Ransom, but who are the others? What kind of experience are we talking here? And what kind of Monstera are they?

Ignoring her first question, he reached back and grabbed four files. Ransom Marks, Xavier Henson, Clyde Evers and Max Modine, he said and presented his files to her. All seasoned performers ‘til they left for their transitions. Each with their own specialties, not one of them with a complaint or strike against them. And all four of them have requested to work with you. He smiled. Their files have most of their info.

She knew all of those names...had actually worked once with Ransom Marks back when he was human in one of the first adult films she'd ever done. He'd been a decent guy. They were all experienced and that gave her pause for thought. The biggest danger to her would be one of them losing control, but that was less likely to happen if all the guys involved knew their way around a set. Returning to the seat, she collected her thoughts.

What kind of Monstera are they? she asked quietly. Are they grotesque? Is this some sort of fetish titillation porn?

Calvin shrugged. Grotesque is subjective these days. One woman’s beast is another woman’s prince charming, he said and set the files on the desk next to him. Some women prefer the more...monstrous of changes. I can’t tell you what they are, because they haven’t made it known. None of them were going to come back after the transition. You know how that goes... He shrugged again.

She did know. Human-focused adult films were still the norm, though the business was big for several of the factions on film, mostly Natura, Shiftera and Elementara. Most males worked until their twenty-fifth year, then left completely for transition, with a very good nest egg to set themselves up once they made it through. The turnover for men in the industry was a revolving door. For these guys to come back post-transition, especially with the names they had made for themselves pre-transition, was...well...almost unheard of.

But they wouldn’t have considered it if they didn’t have a handle on what they are and what they could do. It’s rare Monstera come in at all, even after the change. All four of them agreed to this, feeling confident they could run the scenes with you and give one hell of a performance.

Ember thought it over, letting the silence stretch out. She didn't really care what they were, or if it was an extreme fetish movie—she'd done some fetish before. The point was that Monstera were rarely captured on camera like this, never mind four of them. She had an opportunity here, a chance to do something about a situation that had been bothering her since the Fractals arrived.

Everyone focused so much on how hard it was for men to go through the change, but it was rarely acknowledged how fucking terrifying it could be for the women they came home to. Sex education was laughably outdated, if it was even still taught, and so most women had no idea what they were letting themselves in for. If she did this, if she
