Note for the Literotica Version:
Despite the title on Literotica, this is part seven of eight of this story. I am posting it in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. However, if you have problems with incest/taboo content, please be warned that the entire series is ripe with family naughtiness.
Our story thus far...
In "Idle Hands,"Althea, first among the succubi, was torn from her body by a foolish mortal. In desperation, she sought refuge in the mind of Rachel Wainwright, a successful attorney. Weakened by the ordeal, Althea knows the only way to return to her own body is to restore her power, which she receives by tapping into the sexual pleasure of others.
With this in mind she begins a slow seduction of her host, nudging Rachel towards a more sexually adventurous lifestyle. At the end of "Idle Hands" she has seduced her intern, Jeremy Edwards, and has also attempted a reconciliation with her former husband, Joshua. Meanwhile, her children find her attitude towards them softening, as Rachel becomes resigned to the fact that Sarah wishes to attend culinary school, while Alex wants to become an actor.
The story continues in "The Devil's Playthings." In a heroic courtroom scene, Rachel makes an impassioned argument for the future of the earth in a case involving corporate pollution. In a stunning verdict, the polluters are fined an astronomical sum, one third of which will go to Rachel's law firm. She decides to use her bonus to semi-retire from her work as an attorney, instead choosing to do
pro bono
work as she sees fit.
At the same time, sexual urges are beginning to manifest in Rachel's home. Driven by a compulsion she can't explain, she makes a full-time job offer to her maid, Maria, with the caveat that she must dress attractively around the house. Maria, for her part, looks on the offer (with a substantial increase in salary and the prospect of a rent-free apartment above Rachel's garage) as the answer to her prayers. When Rachel's husband, Joshua, returns home, he finds his daughter, Sarah, strangely flirtatious. The only person who seems immune thus far is Alex.
During dinner one night, Rachel and Joshua agree to let the kids pursue their career goals without interference. Sarah will attend culinary school. With the help of his parents' connections, Alex will transfer from his dead-end community college into the theater department at Northwestern University.
"The Devil's Playthings" ends with Rachel and Joshua reconciling. Driven by admiration of Josh's artwork, which graphically depicts their love for each other, including the night Alex was conceived, Rachel performs oral sex on him. Later that night, they make love for the first time in months. At the moment of her orgasm, Rachel falls unconscious. When she wakes, she finds herself in a beautiful, pastoral scene, where she is greeted by a gorgeous woman who introduces herself as Althea, a succubus who has been sharing her mind.
In "Dark Reflections" we learn about Althea and her history. She is the firstborn of the succubi - a scion of Lilith, Adam's first wife, and one of the Fallen, an angel named Imriel who refused to fight for God during the War in Heaven, when angels rebelled against the Almighty. Exiled to Earth, Imriel and others like him mated with human women and men, siring the lines of the succubi and the incubi, who were charged by God to remain vigilant against the Forsaken, those demons who fought against God and were cast into Hell.
Rachel, now aware of the immortal being who shares her body, learns to live with the fact, and indeed, to revel in it. Her reconciliation with her husband is a joy to her. At the same time, she notices that Althea is having an effect on all the members of her household. Maria and Alex, recognizing the compatibility of their natures, make love for the first time in Maria's apartment. And Rachel learns that her husband and daughter are drawn to each other as well. Rather than being outraged, she considers how to bring two of her loved ones together without damaging either.
The story continues in "Bright Shadows." At a family cookout which Jeremy attends, Sarah finds herself strongly drawn to the attractive young intern. She tries to seduce him, but her aggressive advances only succeed in driving him away in confusion. Young, hurt, and frustrated, she is consoled by her parents. Driven by love rather than lust, Sarah and Joshua make love that evening, their incestuous relationship given approval by Rachel herself.
That evening Rachel makes a frightening discovery. Her body is beginning to change in order to conform to the spirit it is hosting. The first change manifests in the appearance of a tail. Rachel is horrified at first, but is counseled by Althea, who demonstrates some of the benefits of her new appendage. The following morning Rachel confesses Althea's existence to Josh. Confronted with physical proof in the form of the tail, her husband accepts the truth, but is suspicious as to whether Althea's spirit is as benign as she claims.
Later that day Rachel, Maria, and Alex go to the hospital in order to check in on Althea's body. They find her well-cared for, but her body is growing frail after weeks in a coma. Driven partly by Althea's aphrodisiacal presence, partly by their own desire, Maria, Alex, and Rachel make love in Althea's hospital room. They are interrupted in the act by Dr. Yasna Marafi, the physician who has been caring for Althea. They return home to find a strange man trying to break into their house. Rachel confronts him, and she and Althea discover he is a servant of a demon-spawn named Mortimer Kincaid, the unholy offspring of a male human and a female demon. What is worse, Kincaid knows of Althea's injuries. It is only a matter of time before he finds her body and kills her.
Or, even worse, finds Rachel and her family.
In "Sacred Sins," Rachel and Althea confront the consequences of their actions. Bringing everyone together, Rachel confesses to Althea's existence, and proves it by showing them her tail. With Jeremy's assistance, they concoct a plan to kidnap Rachel's body from the hospital. Later that afternoon, Jeremy and Sarah become lovers.
That evening, they drive to the hospital. But the rescue attempt goes horrifyingly awry, as Kincaid has also deduced Althea's location. In a terrifying scene, they are barely able to escape, fleeing the hospital with Althea's body while Kincaid chases them in demonic form. By the time they reach home, Josh's truck and the trailer they used to transport Althea's body are little more than shredded wreckage.
Later that night, they enact a ritual designed to return Althea to her body. Giving selflessly of their sexual power, they at first think they have failed. But just when hope is lost, Althea stirs and wakes. Over a meal she confesses her love for all of them, and expresses her hope that they will not be stupidly jealous or possessive when (not if) she takes one of their lovers as hers.
In "Forbidden Fruit," our story continues. Althea and Yasna both struggle to find their feet in a home which is not their own. Yasna, in a conversation with Josh, reveals details about her past. A child of immigrants, her successful professional life is weighed down by personal failures, including a broken marriage to a man she did not love. Uncertain about her sexuality, she has retreated from all intimacy.
Althea, on the other hand, revels in her new-found freedom. With her help, Alex and Rachel become lovers. Later that day, she and Josh begin work on a sword to be used against Kincaid. In the process, Althea imbues several objects belonging to the family with a small portion of her power, making them talismans which can be used to protect them from the demon-spawn.
Our story continues on Wednesday, two days prior to the opening night of Alex's play. Kincaid has learned of this, and is planning an attack on him, the better to cause Rachel and her family pain...

"Come on in," Maria said, unlocking the door which led into her apartment, and inviting Jeremy, Alex, and Sarah inside with a wave of her hand. After the scene they had just left inside the house, where Althea had invited Josh to bed, and Yasna had been on the verge of collapsing into frustrated tears, the four of them had felt it was best to make themselves scarce. She smiled nervously as she turned on the lights. The large room over the garage was the first place she had ever had for her very own, and she hoped to make a good impression on her guests.
"This is nice," Jeremy said cheerfully, kicking off his shoes. He sank down on the small love seat and put his feet up on the coffee table, wiggling his sock-covered toes in the cool breeze which flowed through the open windows.
Sarah smacked his shoulder with an open palm as she sat down beside him. "Have some manners," she scolded, shoving his feet off the small table. "Good grief, were you born in a barn?"
"Nope," he replied with casual nonchalance. "But I was conceived in one."
"Well, I should hope...wait.
What?
" The look she turned on him was frankly disbelieving. In the small kitchen area, Alex was goggling at him, while Maria laughed softly.
"Well, my dad is a landscape architect, you know," Jeremy said, after a lengthy pause, the better to bait Sarah's curiosity. "And he would sometimes take my mom along to jobs when she needed some time away from my older sisters." He shuddered dramatically. "Can you imagine having to deal with three girls, between the ages of seven and two? They'd get a baby-sitter take off for a day.
"Apparently he was doing work on a farm property which was being remodeled as a second home for a guy who had come into some money. They never really revealed all the details, thank God. When my sisters ask, all they do is smile and remark about how when you're out in the country you have to make your own entertainment."
"Well," Sarah said after a long silence, "at least we know you come by your randiness naturally. I mean, if your mom and dad got it on in the backseat of a tractor, I shouldn't be surprised by your perverted lusts."
"Tractors don't have backseats," he replied, and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"I think it's sweet," Maria said, coming back into view, followed by Alex. She held a bottle of wine in one hand, and he carried a set of clean, if mismatched, wine glasses. Setting them down on the table, he waited while Maria poured the wine, then passed one to each.
"What should we drink to?" Sarah asked.
Maria met her eyes squarely, then glanced around the circle. "Long life, and love," she said, her eyes dark and mysterious.
Jeremy raised his eyebrows, but smiled back at her. "Long life, and love," he repeated, and the toast was echoed by Sarah and Alex. They gently touched the glasses together, then sipped the wine.
"God, it feels good to be out of the house, even if it's just up here. I was about to go stir-crazy," Alex said, sitting on the floor and leaning back against the foot of the armchair, his long legs stretched out in front of him. Maria slipped in behind him, relaxing against the overstuffed cushions. He turned his head and kissed the inside of her calf, making her smile. "Have you guys had the feeling, the last few days, that Mom and Dad and Althea aren't telling us everything that's going on?"
Jeremy traded a glance with Sarah, then shrugged. "I think you and Sarah would be the best to answer that one, man," he said. "You're their kids, after all. Well, not Althea's," he amended. "Or things would be even weirder than they are. But I don't know Rachel or Josh well enough to give you a good read on them, even though I worked as Rachel's intern for a few months."
