Succubus Lord

by Eric Vall

  Libidine’s eyes seemed to shine as her pupils dilated. “I still can’t quite believe it,” she said as she gave a little shiver of pleasure. “In my thousands of years as a succubus, I’ve never met a man who not only could match me, but outdo me! It’s kind of crazy.”

  I realized I had been holding the same spoon full of cereal in my hand for the last minute like an idiot, so I took a quick bite before answering. “Hold up, did you say thousands of years old? You look younger than me.”

  “Oh stop.” She blushed. “It goes along with the territory. Especially with succubi since, well, our entire purpose is to pleasure men like you and your friend over there.” She gestured to Todd’s closed bedroom door. “You can’t really do that if you’re old and saggy.”

  “You don’t know what I’m into,” I smirked and then forced myself to take another bite.

  Libidine reached across the table and ran her pointer finger across my chest in a heart pattern. “Actually, yes I do.” She winked. “That little note you and your friend wrote to the Demon Queen was quite specific.”

  “I wonder how they are doing?” I asked as I looked at Todd’s door. Did his dream come true like mine had, or was he just sleeping in until noon like we always tended to do? Todd tended to stay up late, taking hits from his bong and watching internet videos about conspiracy theories or mythology. Waking up at the crack of the afternoon was pretty normal.

  “I’m sure he had just as great of a night as we did!” Libidine laughed as she realized where my mind had gone. The black-haired succubus giggled. “Your friend is very well. I was accompanied to Earth by one of my sisters, and I know she was intended for the other man who summoned us.”

  “So there are two naked succubi in my apartment right now?” I laughed. “I must be the luckiest man on Earth. Libidine, that’s Latin, isn’t it?” I may have been a solid B student, but I remembered my basic world languages.

  Libidine smiled and nodded in agreement. “It means ‘Lust.’ I took on the name for obvious reasons. I have six other sisters all named similarly.”

  “The seven deadly sins?” I pondered with a raised eyebrow.

  “Very good!” she smirked. “Every demon lord likes to theme the names of their succubi. Lilith was particularly infatuated with the idea of the sins since, you know, her first husband created the whole concept. She named each of us after the one that best fit our personality.”

  “Well, I’m glad Lilith didn’t send me Wrath. I’m not ready for that kind of thing quite yet!” I laughed along with the succubus.

  “Oh, I agree,” Liby smirked, “Sister Ira is an… acquired taste.”

  “When you say acquired…”

  “You don’t want to acquire it.” Liby shook her head. “Trust me.” She shivered.

  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Todd’s door open. Though I heard small, hurried footsteps race out of the room, I couldn’t see who they belonged to.

  “Did you hear that?” I asked as I sat down my bowl.

  “Looks like they are up,” Liby said, but as I got up to investigate, I nearly tripped over a tiny creature who bolted around the corner of my table.

  I stumbled backward as the small creature tumbled across the floor and smacked into the cupboards below the sink. The small being stood about three feet tall and had dark red skin and miniature hooves for feet. Atop his head sat two horns, each looking like they were made of jet-black polished stone. He lay there for a moment in a daze before he shook himself like a tiny dog and leapt to his feet Bruce Lee style. Then he ambled toward me like he owned the place.

  “Sorry about that,” he said with a shrug. “Not used to these hooves yet.” He gave me a knowing look as he gestured at himself. Then the creature looked up at me with its beady black eyes in bemusement.

  “What the fuck?” I gasped as I reached out and grabbed the butcher knife on the counter to defend myself. The little demon just looked puzzled.

  “Please tell me you didn’t eat the last of the cornflakes,” he said as he drummed on his belly. “I’ve worked up an incredible hunger.”

  “What the fuck did you do with my friend? Are you the succubus that he summoned last night? Did you take his soul?” I demanded as I waved the knife in front of me.

  “Chillax, Jacob,” the creature yelled as it held up its hands. “It’s me!”

  “What the... Wait, Todd?” I asked as my mind tried to get a handle on what was going on. “Is that really you?”

  “Duh, bro. I pay half of the rent, don’t I?” the imp retorted while he eyed my knife fearfully.

  “Depends on the month,” I hissed at the creature. “What the fuck happened to you?”

  “What do you mean, Jakey?” the imp looked at me curiously.

  “You’re literally three-foot tall demon with red skin and devil hooves!” I gestured at him in disbelief.

  “And…?” Todd raised his eyebrow at my concern.

  “And that should freak you the fuck out!” I said in horror. “Look at you! Oh God, you look like you belong in a Cronenberg flick!”

  “I take that as a compliment,” the imp snickered.

  “We need to change you back right away!” I clenched my fists. “Where is the other succubus? She’s gonna pay for what she did to you…”

  “No can do, Daniel-san,” the imp shook his head back and forth. “I am one-hundred percent satisfied with my purchase.”

  “What the Hell are you talking about? What purchase?” I scoffed.

  “This is what I wanted, my friend,” the imp chuckled as it scooted over to the breakfast bar and hopped onto one of our wobbly black stools. “I totally asked Lilith to deliver me this awesome new bod.”

  “Wait,” I shook my head as I tried to make sense of Todd’s words. “You went through all this trouble to order a book from the Vatican and summon a super-hot demon woman, and you didn’t even ask for sex?”

  “Bro, I got my priorities in order,” the imp giggled as he flexed his tiny arm muscles. “You’re telling me you don’t want to be a badass demon like moi?”

  He shifted his body for a moment to get comfortable, grabbed an apple off the counter, and devoured it in a single bite. He leaned back as far as his miniature body would allow and savored the flavor of the fruit with a long “mmmm” of satisfaction.

  “Dude, we have to go talk to your succubus and figure out how to get you changed back.” I stood up to walk toward Todd’s room.

  “No way, bro! I’ve never felt better!” He shrugged.

  “Could you guys keep it down?” I heard a soft female voice call out from across the room. “A succubus needs her beauty sleep. Especially when they didn’t get their nightly fill.”

  The second succubus sat up from the old leather couch and rubbed her eyes groggily. She looked nothing like Libidine, but she was still one of the sexiest women I’d ever seen. Her short blonde hair was styled into a bob that swayed back and forth across her slender cheekbones as she walked. The succubus’ entire body was lithe and fit like that of an athlete, complete with small, perky breasts, well-defined abs, and thighs that looked strong enough to crush a man’s head. I didn’t know which of the seven deadly sins she was based on, but I definitely felt like I would break all of them to have her in my bed.

  “We may not have done the deed, but I appreciate what you did for me, Cupi!” the imp exclaimed. “Now the chicks are all going to be lining up to get a piece of the Ol’ Toddster!”

  “You didn’t have sex with--” I started to say, but Todd interrupted me.

  “Naw, man. As soon as she changed me into this badass body, I just wanted to sleep it off. Now I just want to eat, get high, and play some video games.”

  “Ugh…” the blonde succubus sighed as she lay her head against the backrest of our old couch. “How disappointing.”

  “I’m not disappointed!” Todd laughed.

  “Men almost never are,” my friend’s summoned demon said as a half-smile came to her sexy lips.

  “I didn
’t have any such issue with Jacob here!” Libidine blurted out excitedly.

  The blonde succubus raised an eyebrow, bit her lip, and ran her purple eyes up and down my body. “Really? Maybe we should swap before we go back to our master. All this other one wanted me to do was turn him into a demon.”

  “I still can’t believe that you didn’t have sex with her,” I said to Todd.

  “Jacob,” Todd shook his head back and forth. “I just wanted her to fulfil my wildest desires. One of which was to become a demon myself! I’ve read all about them, but now people are gonna be reading about me!”

  “Alrighty then, to each his own,” I shrugged and then turned back to the couch. “Excuse me, uh-- whoa!”

  The naked blonde woman was suddenly sitting at the breakfast table next to me. She stuck out her hand to shake mine, and the gesture made her exposed breasts jiggle.

  “Cupiditas,” she said as our palms connected.

  “Greed?” I inquired.

  The succubus shot a sly grin toward Libidine. “Sexy, well-endowed, and knows Latin? You definitely got a good one, Libby.”

  I tried to not let my eyes wander around Cupiditas’ body as I questioned further. “Is there uhhh, any chance you can change him back?” I gestured to the imp who was now playing some sort of dubstep music out of his phone, standing on our kitchen counter, and dancing what can only be described as a mix between an Irish Riverdance and Breakdancing as he giggled maniacally.

  “It’s what he wanted.” She shrugged as she looked at her nails. “It was on the contract.”

  “So what happens now?” I asked the succubi because until that moment I’d completely forgotten about the contract. “Do you steal our souls and go back to Hell, or…?”

  “We’re not that kind of succubi, Jacob.” Libidine raised her finger and twirled a lock of her long black hair as she stared down at the ground. “And I don’t think I’m going to go back to Hell. After last night, I want to stay here with you.”

  The succubus’ sister did not look amused. “Liby, you know we can’t do that,” she warned. “Do you remember what happened to Tristitia?”

  “Sloth?” I asked.

  The blonde succubus nodded slowly. “Tristitia got her name because she was the most casual of our sisters. She didn’t really care to do her job. She’d spend countless days on Earth after the service to her man was completed, just roaming around and goofing off in the city. Tris was all play and no work.”

  “And what happened to her?” I asked. “I’m assuming your boss didn’t take it very well?”

  Cupiditas’ words caught in her throat as she tried to speak. “Lilith finally got tired of her laziness. While Tris was out partying with humans, the Demon Queen herself came to Earth and tracked her down. It was a bloodbath. Hundreds of humans were killed in the battle, and our sister was dragged back down into the pits of Hell to be punished for a thousand years by the Grand Executioner.”

  “It sounds like Lilith isn’t somebody you wanted to fuck with,” I said as I watched Cupiditas shiver in fright. “At least, not intentionally.”

  “She is quite powerful,” Libidine said as she put an arm around Cupiditas to comfort her sister. “She is the original succubus, after all.”

  “Exactly, sister. So, we should not linger here.” As Cupiditas spoke, she leaned her head to rest on her sister’s shoulder.

  “It will be alright, Cupi. Tris was alone. We will be together, and we will have them!” she exclaimed as she pointed in my and Todd’s direction.

  “Forgive me if I don’t believe a mere mortal and his imp are going to protect us from the Demon Queen.” Cupiditas looked us over. “No offense or anything.”

  “He is no mere mortal, sister,” Libidine said as she smiled at me. “Spend a few hours with Jacob, and you’ll know he’s special beyond all imagination!”

  Cupiditas sighed, but then a sly smile spread across her face as she turned to look at me. “I guess I could use a good distraction right now. Besides, last night was… less than satisfying.” She glanced at my roommate. “No offense or anything.”

  “No, I get it.” Todd shrugged at her. “You wanted a trip to pound town, and I didn’t oblige. And now I’m just really not interested in you anymore. Can’t really say why.”

  “Wait, you’re not interested in her?” I gestured at the blonde succubus. “Have you seen her?”

  “Yeah.” He shrugged. “I know I should be interested in her, or hell, annoyed you want to sleep with the succubus I summoned, but I’m just not.” He smirked. “But if you’re interested.” He waved me off. “Do what makes you happy.”

  “Seriously?” I swallowed hard. “You really don’t care?”

  “Not even slightly.” Todd gave me a bored look. “There’s about a million other things I’d rather do, crazy as it sounds.”

  “So, what do you say, Jacob?” Cupiditas asked as her fingers wrapped around my hand on the kitchen table.

  “I think I’d be a fool to say no,” I laughed. Sure, Lilith sounded scary and all, but as the naked, blonde woman smiled at me, I couldn’t find myself caring much about her at all.

  “That’s what I like to hear,” Cupi giggled and then pulled me up with her as she stood. Then the blonde succubus led me toward my bedroom while making a special point of shaking her ass with each and every step.

  “Go get ‘em, Tiger!” Libidine called as Cupiditas and I entered my bedroom, but before I could respond to the dark-haired woman, the blonde succubus grabbed me by the sides of my face, pulled me in close, and shoved her tongue down my throat.

  Then she kicked the door closed behind us.

  As we continued to make out, Cupiditas expertly tugged off my pants, and as she reached down to stroke me she gasped.

  “Well? What do you think?” Liby called out with a giggle from outside the bedroom door.

  The blonde woman smiled as she dropped to her knees in front of me and licked her lips. “I’ve made up my mind, Liby. Lilith be damned. I think we should definitely stay.”

  Chapter 3

  What a day. That was the only thing I could think of as I sat at my worn-out breakfast table in my shitty-ass apartment and munched on an apple. Libidine, the large-chested, dark-haired bombshell, sat across from me at the breakfast bar. She kept giggling and making goo-goo eyes at me with her bright purple peepers. Meanwhile, Cupiditas, the sexy blonde with the rock-hard body, sat over on our broken-down couch. She was reclining back on the brown velvet cushions with her feet placed up on the coffee table. The joyful, yet relaxed expression on her face told me that she was extremely satisfied with her decision to stay.

  As for Todd, my little demon friend was relaxing in his favorite chair. It was a red polyester recliner that had certainly seen much better days. Todd found it in the dumpster out behind our place forever ago, and it had been love at first sight. It took us nearly two hours to get that damn thing up here into our living room. I tried to talk him out of it, but the stoner refused to budge until I helped him get “his true love” into our apartment. The chair had been too large for the elevator, so my buddy and I had to carry it all the way up six flights of stairs. It was not a pleasant experience, as Todd was about as strong as an ant, and not in the metaphorical sense. Instead, it was I who got to do most of the heavy lifting.

  When we finally got it to the apartment, it was like a yoga session trying to get it through the door. Todd kept telling me to “twist it to the left, bro,” as I huffed and puffed and rolled the chair around so that it could almost fit through the threshold. We finally were able to get it into our place after we discovered that the top part could pop off and turn the piece into two manageable chunks of a chair rather than one large one. After that, it was a cakewalk. The only problem was that once we got it inside, we couldn’t figure out how the fuck it went back together. Even once we had spent countless hours trying to reassemble the damn thing, it remained wobbly at best.

  Now, it was Todd’s throne, where he sat when he wante
d to light up, kick back, and watch an episode of his favorite paranormal TV show.

  Before yesterday, I would have made fun of Todd for watching that kind of shit. I had been raised to believe in Heaven and Hell and all that stuff. Who from the southern Midwest hadn’t been? But when my roommate would go on and on about UFOs and Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, I’d just roll my eyes and humor him. Now, I was sitting in a room with the two naked succubi that we had summoned, and my best friend was a three-foot-tall red-skinned imp with horns and a tail. I guess seeing really is believing after all.

  “You’re being awfully quiet over there, Jacob,” Cupiditas murmured as she put her hands on her knees and smiled. “Did our services leave you speechless?”

  “That ain’t natural for Jakey,” Todd chuckled. “He’s always got his two cents to throw into the mix!”

  “It’s not that.” I shook my head. “It’s just that it’s a lot to take in, you know? Like, if you two are both real, and your demon masters are real, then that means everything I’ve been taught about our religion throughout the years is all true. All the stories, all the teachings, all the metaphysical entities… It’s crazy.”

  “Whoa, whoa.” The imp stuck out his hands repeatedly. “Our religion? The Toddster bows to no one.”

  “Uh, Todd… You’re the one who’s always telling me about conspiracy theories of how the government is covering up evidence of Angels and Demons here on Earth, and now you’ve seen it with your own eyes. How can you really believe that if you don’t follow a religion?” I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

  “I dunno. I just don’t like the idea of others telling me what to do.” He shrugged. “I just want to have a blast here on Earth while I still can, and with this new smokin’-hot body, there are no limits to the amount of fun I can now have!”

  “I know it’s a lot to take in.” Libidine stretched her hand across the table and placed it on mine. Her skin was just as soft as I remembered it being from the night before, and her touch brought back a rush of incredible memories. “We’re used to being questioned by the mortals who summon us. Please, ask us anything you want.”
