I've been single; I've been married; and I've been divorced. I've been a good girl who made bad choices, and I've been a bad girl who made good choices. That's what this blog is all about.

The Succubus
She selected Mathew purposefully. He was exactly what she wanted. Mathew was not too old, or too young. He was intelligent, talented, and compassionate, a good honest and moral man. In short, he was perfect.
She began her campaign by admiring his talent and becoming one of his many "groupies". Then she started sharing some personal issues with Mathew and asking for his advice. When he showed himself to be thoughtful, caring, and somewhat innocent, she began to exhibit some of her insecurities. Bit by bit, they grew closer as "friends", but by then she was also showing him a flash of herself in photographs from time to time. The flashes were never too suggestive, just giving him an outline of who she was and letting him fill in the blanks.
Their conversations began to be more flirtatious. They were playfully sexual in their discussions. As time went on, she became more forward with Mathew, even indicating she would come to him if he wished. Knowing he was hesitant, she would then back away a bit and let him think about the possibilities.
Finally, she felt sure that Mathew was ready for her. She got a flight to his city and booked a reservation for a suite at an airport hotel. Mathew met her in the cocktail lounge where she was sipping a Bombay Sapphire martini. He was obviously a bit nervous and he approached her rather shyly.
They embraced as friends do and shared a chaste kiss. She had dressed carefully for the trip wearing a demure white blouse and knee length black skirt. Her jewelry and make up were minimal and her fragrance was subtle. At one point, she took Mathew's hand. squeezed it, and placed it on her leg about two inches above her knee. She knew he could feel the garter that held up her sheer black stockings.
They ordered lunch although neither of them was really hungry. After lunch, she invited Mathew back to her suite to admire the view and he again seemed unsure of how to proceed. This was even better than she expected. His apprehension was a delight to her! They took the elevator up to the 11th floor, quietly assessing each other.
Once inside the suite, she walked to the window and commented on how pretty the view looked. Mathew walked up behind her and stood very close as he put his arms around her looking not at the view but at her. She smiled to herself and let her body press against him.
Mathew was sure she wanted to have sex with him. She did not. What she wanted was his innocence.
As she turned into his embrace, she thought to herself, "Next time, we'll do this when he's awake."

Great contribution! You have a wonderful writing flair, Linda! Quite the naughty little spirit, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteOh, that little taunt! Great picture and story!
ReplyDeleteShe's a bit of a tart, let's face it, Reffie! Girl has the morals of an alley cat.
ReplyDeleteThis is much more than I ever showed Mathew.
ReplyDeleteThank you Darling Little Sister!
ReplyDeleteShe's something else SuziCate! She's no better than a damn dog in heat.
ReplyDeleteDamn, girl! You really know how to lure a guy into your web! If that's what happens when he's asleep, I can't begin to imagine what's going to happen when he wakes up!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Linda. You held me from the first word. I love how you built the tension to its climax (no pun intended.) Seriously good stuff, my friend.
ReplyDeletePaula, it ended when he woke up. This was just a dry run, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jayne!
ReplyDeleteJayne said, "Climax!"
ReplyDeleteIn my head, I am turning it around even more, making HER the one dreaming! LOVED THIS.... very sexy, very dangerous... it was excellent!
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't even know what else to say. Just. Wow.
ReplyDeleteGood wow? Bad wow? Bow Wow?
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine. It can be turned around and upside down and still retain it's flavor.
ReplyDeleteShe did indeed, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, good wow!
ReplyDeleteThis was brilliant, Linda, a true show of your talent as a writer. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best posts you've ever written, Linda. Among other things, it shows a disturbing understanding of the true motivation for a succubus—and some women.
ReplyDelete*shudders*
Jeezum

ReplyDeleteJust like a succubus.
ReplyDeleteYou're so silly... I like that in a person. :)
ReplyDeleteWas that a terrified shudder, Michael? Or a shudder of pleasure? Just asking...
ReplyDeleteThank you Ziva! I thought you might like it.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think the succubus is more like the Sirens of legend. They entice men to ruin them. The seduction is never the goal, they destruction is.
ReplyDeleteWow..that was an awesome twist. Very seductive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! This was an evil girl, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteThat's a strong piece of writing. The ending gave me a chill. It's a scary world for a man to live in sometimes.
ReplyDeleteJust guard your dreams K! Nothing else to really fear!
ReplyDeleteAny story with the word 'succubus' in it draws me in. Such a powerful image and this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee! I sort of loved writing it!
