Book 2 of "The Coven Chronicles"
The Witch's Daughter
Our story so far:
The Chamberlains are a family of pagans and witches living in Des Moines, Iowa. Worshiping the Goddess, they wait for the time of the Crossing for the two youngest members of the family, twin brother and sister John and Susanna Chamberlain. The Crossing is a period of heightened sexual desire during which their bodies will be driven to find mates and to sire children. Unbeknownst to both John and Susanna, John has been chosen as the father of the next generation of Chamberlain children, due to the inability of his older cousins and sister to find mates, who must be men of power.
One night in May, both John and Susanna Cross. However, an ancient evil known as the Dark One has been lying in wait for them. It influences Susanna to a state of frantic lust, and does the same to John, invading and overcoming his mind. It is only through the last-minute intervention of Claire Chamberlain, their mother, that the Dark One is driven off.
Following their rescue, Claire explains to the children that they are the descendants of a High One, who mated with their many-times grandmother hundreds of years ago. In exchange for a continuation of their line, the Goddess has decreed that all their sexual encounters must be done in love, or both their line and power will fail. Claire explains the need for John to mate with Susanna, and also with his sister Eleanor and cousins, Hilda and Agatha.
John agrees to this, and that night takes Susanna as his first mate. On the same night, in the same bed, he takes his mother as his lover as well.

Chapter 1
The next morning, John woke up feeling wonderful. He was cuddled with his sister in the bed in the guest bedroom, with his hands clasped protectively over her belly and his groin nestled against her rear. Blinking in the bright light coming in from the eastern window, he took a moment to recall the life-altering events of the previous evening. He shuddered as he recalled the dark force that drove him towards Susanna before his mother came to their rescue.
Taking a deep breath, he inhaled Susanna's scent. She smelled of clean skin and strawberry body wash. Sometime in the night she must have gotten up to take a shower. Squinting at the clock on the wall, he saw it was nearly eight in the morning.
Showering sounds like a good idea. I should clean up before the rest of the coven arrives.
He vaguely remembered his mother waking them up late at night to tell them the rest of the family would be "visiting" the next morning.
More like coming to see the sacrificial lamb,
he thought. John was not at his best in the mornings, and was usually as cross as two sticks until he had a big glass of juice, breakfast, and the sports page of the
Des Moines Register.
Quietly he disentangled himself from Susanna. She made a sleepy, happy noise when he kissed her cheek, but he was able to get up without waking her. He quietly padded through the upstairs hallway in the big, rambling house in the north part of Des Moines, passed the other bedrooms, and got into the shower. Soaping up, he considered his cock.
"If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, please consult your physician," he said, mocking the boner-pill adds that seemed to run non-stop on his favorite sports channels on TV. Unless it had gone down during the night, he didn't think his erection had subsided at any time between last night and this morning. And it certainly didn't appear to be in a hurry now.
Just as well,
he thought,
If Mom was right, I am going to need all the help I can get over the next few months. Might make things a bit awkward in the locker room, though.
He suppressed a hysterical giggle. It was as if he had fallen through a portal into a different world. Less than a day ago, his thoughts had been on a baseball game and getting ready for his last-ever round of finals in high school. Now he found himself the chosen vessel to impregnate four incredibly hot women, all of them his relatives, in order to continue the bloodline of his coven.
And apparently we have a pretty damn big enemy as well. Suzy might have forgotten that, but I haven't. We should have a talk with Mom sometime today. It sounded like Mom has a history with that thing. And now Suzy and I do as well. We owe him a little payback.
Working quickly, he soaped and rinsed, washed his hair and dried off. Remembering his mother's words from the previous evening, he shaved, brushed his teeth, and rinsed his mouth out. Walking back down the hallway, he meant to go to his room and dress before the rest of the thundering herd made an appearance. Somehow, though, his feet led him back into the guest bedroom. Susanna was still asleep. She was no longer curled on her side, but instead lay on her back, with the sheet which had been their only covering twisted so he could see the long, lean, length of her right leg.
Almost involuntarily, he went into the bedroom. He could smell the scent of her gentle arousal. Coming closer to the bed, he could see her hips rock slightly, driven by small motions of her buttocks, and see the way the petals of her sex were half-unfurled.
She is dreaming about me
, he thought.
I should wake her up the best possible way.
Moving quietly, almost furtively, he carefully removed the sheet from her body. He then draped his body across the bottom half of the bed, blessing his mother for having the foresight to buy such a large canvas for the art of their lovemaking. Whispering a prayer to the Goddess, praying that he would not make an error, he positioned his head between his sister's thighs and licked her pussy for the very first time.
If he expected the instant orgasm of a woman driven mad by the skill of his tongue, he was disappointed. Instead, Susanna shifted slightly above him, but gave no other hint that she was aware of his presence. With her tangy taste on his tongue, John continued to lick her, hoping to give her pleasure, hoping even more that she would wake up and let him know what he was doing right, if anything.
This would have been a hell of a lot easier if you would have waited for her to wake up, dumbass,
he thought to himself.
Not terribly easy to get assembly instructions when the only person who knows the directions is sound asleep.
Still, he persevered, lapping doggedly at the area where he vaguely remembered from his sex-ed classes the clitoris might be located.
