***
Lilith and I stood at the entrance to a massive stone castle. Its black stone minarets soared, disappearing into iron-grey clouds. There were easily a dozen circular towers of varying diameters ranging from approximately three meters to twenty. The primary castle was enormous and forbidding. Carved pythons and boa constrictors entwined every window. Weathered stone sculptures depicting fearsome female warriors brandishing massive swords guarded the exterior. Many had gigantic snakes encircling their bodies, mouths wide open, facing an unseen enemy and baring long, curved fangs as if in fight-to-the-death defense of its massive walls. Most prominent were two stupendous carved-stone Succubi warriors, whose monstrous tails supported the end of a massive oaken drawbridge. The bridge crossed a wide, seething river that boiled and undulated with waterborne creatures, huge and alien.
A cold, damp wind coursed through the valley. I pulled my collar against my discomfort and did my best to put my back to the breeze.
The castle was dark, with torches flickering in the odd window. I could hear echoing screams of abject agony from within, punctuated with the occasional
crack
of a whip. Whether from man, Fem, or beast, I could not tell, however I did suspect the worst for my Earthly male brethren.
In the growing gloom, I could discern neither trees nor vegetation. The castle was nestled in a landscape of sharp, broken rock, as if the surrounding mountains had been blasted to smithereens by some incredible force. Whether the blast originated from ancient pressures deep within the planet's crust or from some massive projectile from the alien sky, it was impossible to tell. But with the rough landscape, an invading army would be incapable of approaching the site in quantity without being torn to pieces. The landscape gave me a fresh perspective on Harmonia and her women. The determination and bravery that enabled them to carve a prosperous and technologically superior life out of such a brutal and ruined landscape was truly awe inspiring.
Now that we had transported to my wife's home planet, she had a adopted her full persona as Lilith, Immortal Queen of the Succubi. Her metal-studded knee-high boots, with their six-inch iron stiletto points, thrust her skyward to a height of more than seven foot six. Her hair was waist-length, jet-black and wild, only partially wrangled with a silver filigree sapphire-encrusted tiara, secured to scarlet horns curling rearward from the top of her head. Her long neck was adorned with a ruby-studded choker. From her ears dangled massive ruby earrings. Her miniscule waist was cinched tightly in a metal-studded corset from which hung twelve garters per leg, fastened to sheer, high-gloss stockings made from the finest silks on the planet. The corset was skin-tight and plunged deeply, revealing the massive swell of her perfect breasts. Her arms were adorned with jeweled silver bands and bracelets, terminating in ornate leather gloves with metal studs on the knuckles and open fingers displaying inch-long scarlet talons.
Fastened to her back was a six-foot long sword, ornately carved and encrusted with a massive diamond on the end of the foot-long hilt. The blade glowed a deep crimson, as if it had absorbed many millennia of battle-harvested blood. Around her waist was an ornately carved leather belt into which a diamond- and ruby-studded curved dagger was thrust.
When she gazed down upon me, I was startled to see her eyes. They were brilliant crimson, displaying no pupils, and they burned brightly as if from the pits of hell. Her lips were full and glossy crimson, and her hollow cheeks betrayed the regimen of the ultra-fit athlete.
Long, lean, and powerful muscles bulged from her arms and legs. Her tail was as thick as my wrist at her body. It was a scaly six feet long and terminated in a flexible arrow-shaped point. It bristled with muscle, yet was supple enough to curl into tight spirals. On her back were black and crimson wings, tightly stowed between her shoulder blades.
A fearsome warrior indeed.
But oh so terminally sexy. I just wanted to melt into that warrior body.
Lilith stopped and gestured the great stone faΓ§ade. "This is the first dwelling of the Succubi, built at the hands of three thousand women, some five thousand years ago. Being from such ancient times, we had no technology, no machines with which to build. Hence its rough and simple nature. As our most ancient castle, it represents the birth of the Succubi race of warrior women. We reserve its use for our most sacred rituals. It also houses our deepest, darkest, and most fearsome dungeons. Whoa to the male captives who are condemned to this place, for their existence is surely one of misery, pain, and everlasting regret. We have named this Castle Tartaros, the namesake of the ancient dungeon of sorrow and suffering, built by the gods on Earth to administer the never-ending torment of wicked men."
I steeled myself for what I was about to see, for I knew Lilith equated "wicked men" with simply "men". All men deserved the whip under the merciless hand of the Succubi, according to Lilith. Only my love for Larissa, the earthly woman within this fearsome creature, would propel me to enter this fearsome faΓ§ade.
We crossed the drawbridge, passing over the roiling dark moat. I looked over the side of the damp stone railing. A serpent's back broke the surface of the water only to submerge before I could get a sense of what it was. Its scales glistened, black and sharp in the growing blue light of Subus' two moons.
My wife paused at the castle entrance and touched my shoulder. "Though my people have regained the power to revert to our human forms, here on Subus mostly all Fems choose our demonic form. There are deeply-rooted reasons for this. Not only does this form aide in the control of the considerable numbers of male slave population, but you can also think of it as a subtle "fuck you" to the memory of Zeus. He thought he was punishing us, but we love our powerful selves.
"It is critical you remember: on this planet I am Queen and you must address me with the greatest respect as Lilith. You are neither my equal nor are you my partner. Not yet. Only in human form am I to be addressed as Goddess Harmonia on this planet, and never as Larissa."
I also had to remember that Lilith is not simply my wife in demonic form. Lilith is baser, more raw than Larissa, probably the result of her violent battle for survival over the past five thousand years. I would have to be cautious until I learned how not to trigger a fighting response. I didn't yet have a lot of experience with Lilith and I needed to be hyper alert, because while Larissa's sex drive is an eleven to be sure, there is no scale or limit for Lilith. When she is sexually charged, her sex brain dominates her utterly. These women had been cursed by Zeus for thousands of years with an insatiable, all-consuming, yet unfulfilled sexual lust. It was part of their being; sexual desire was in their DNA. And as their Queen and Zeus' principal target, Lilith was cursed with the greatest sexual hunger in the universe. When Lilith wants to fuck, which is pretty much always, I had to believe there'd be nothing stopping her. Given her size and strength, that could be very dangerous for me.
