I remember from the books that it was implied that Stannis and Melisansdre were 'enjoying' each others' company, but I don't think that it was out right displayed like it was in the episode last week.

My question is, was it always implied in the books that Melisandre used Stannis' sperm to create the demon baby/shadow monster that kills Renly? I don't remember that from my reading, but that is the impression that I got from the show.

That's the impression. It wasn't explicitly pointed out in the books, but was implied that was how the shadows were made. I believe in Dance with Dragons, Melissandre makes a reference that making the shadows took a lot out of Stannis and was looking for another provider
