Incubus! Paranormal Adult Romance

By Skye Eagleday

Incubus! (Paranormal Adult Romance)
For a thousand years the Sex Fae had hidden in plain sight among the Humans. After the Great Purge when the Aristocracy of the Supernatural Community attempted to exterminate the Incubus and Succubus for being able to control everyone else, those few who survived worked to erase themselves from collective memory. They became vague impressions and old wives tales. Shapeshifters who could assume any human form, they easily became what one desired the most. They fed on the sexual energy of a partner, but unlike a Vampire, they didn’t just take. They gave—the most fantastic orgasm the partner would ever experience. Incubus follows the stories of the Incubus Luka and the younger Incubus Stan as they navigate the sexuality of the 21st Century

Big Bad Incubus

Luka is Summoned for the Vengeance of a Spurned Lover. But Vengence has a cost.

Wayward Wolf

When a Werewolf sleeps with the best friend of his partner, she plots her revenge. "Stan the Man" is rumored to be able to turn a straight man gay. Will it work if the target is a werewolf?

Incubus Debt

Vengeance comes at a price and the Incubus comes to collect.

Excerpt:

Those fantasies told me she was not like Tucker. She wanted to be dominated the way no one would dominate her in the day or at her work. She wanted to give up all responsibility for her sexual desires. She wanted to be the innocent one, and blame the Big Bad Incubus. I enjoyed a sip of the scotch and she drank half of hers in one swallow. Scotch should only be taken that way as self-medication. I took another step forward, giving my movement the slightest hint of menace. Her heart beat sped up.

“How did you escape the Circle?” Her arousal spiked. She began to understand just how little control she had. Be careful what you wish for. She finished her scotch and set the glass on the table.

“Such Circles are for Demons,” I told her. “An Incubus is not a true Demon no matter the judgment of the Church. We are actually part of the Lost Fair Ones, better known as the Fae.” I looked away. “And some have called us Angels.”

“But you came when I Called,” she whispered.

“I came because I was curious. I was never compelled. I return now because you are still calling to me, but in a different way. I mentioned there was a cost. If you give over another to someone like me, you give yourself as well.” I moved forward again, and she withdrew--stopped when her back touched the wall.

Introduction

When I first started writing full-time, I thought I’d focus on vampires, since I’m such a fan of the genre. But to my surprise, readers were much more interested in my Shape-Shifters. Gay werewolves were popular so I decided to put my own spin on the Supernatural by being one of the first to introduce a Werebear. His appetites for food and rough sex serve him well as one of the largest and most powerful of the Shifters. You can find him in my Tales of the Werebear series.

The more I wrote about Shifters, the more I was drawn to feature an Irish Pooka (better known among Americans and the British by the name Shakespeare used in Midsummer Night’s Dream—Puck. I figured if the Pooka can assume any shape at all, shifting genders would be a piece of cake. This was an excellent motivation for me to introduce the Pooka in (his?) female form and have her seduce a Scottish Fae.

Laughing at having tricked him by passing as a human female, the Pooka shows off by flashing through a series of transformations—a horse, a wolf, a raven, a human male, and then the Fae expresses a desire to go joy-skinning again with the Pooka’s masculine form. When the Fae ends up dumping the Pooka, the Shifter then assumes (his?) female shape and has revenge sex with a human lesbian. You can find the very flexible Irish Pooka in my on-going Scottish HIghlands Shifters series, including Roots & Fangs, McKay’s Serial Killer Shifter, and in (her? His?) own title, Seducing the Ultimate Shifter.

But when it came to Shifters, I kept returning to the idea of an Incubus. As I had done with gay werewolves and my Werebear, I decided to go in a different direction with the Incubus—this time as being a sort of reverse vampire. Luka—as the Incubus was called—is proud of the fact he may feed on the sexual energy of his partners, but he then provides the best orgasm of his partners’ lives. He considers it a win/win.

For a Shifter who can assume whatever appearance a partner desires the most—I kept wondering what an Incubus like Luka looks like when he’s not working. As a therapist I’ve seen many patients and clients (it’s a billing issue—patients are given medication—clients are not) who feel they can only exist in the context of a relationship. What would it be like for Luka and the other Sex Fae where their survival depends on being in a relationship (even if it’s very brief) with someone else?

Just so, I then wrote Big Bad Incubus, and introduced the humans Jemma and Tucker. The storyline follows a standard trope for an Incubus of vengeance and seduction. I was touched by Luka’s old-fashioned sense of tradition and spiritual balance.  I enjoyed the interaction of the three and wondered what happened next?

Having established Luka as an older Fae who valued tradition, I was curious what a Millennial Incubus would be like. I wanted someone who would consider Luka to be terribly out of date and quaint. Would a 20-something Incubus in the 21st century really have the same standards as his elders? I returned to the trope of vengeance and seduction, but decided to have the focus on a horn-dog young werewolf who had slept with the best friend of his girlfriend.

One of the foundations of all my titles set in the Supernatural Community is the Treaty of Silence, where Shifters, vampires, Fae, and others have agreed to keep their existence a secret from Human society. This was fun because it let me introduce two Supernatural beings when the human girlfriend is unaware of anything paranormal happening in front of her, and explores (like the Pooka and the Scottish Fae) what it’s like when one Supernatural can hide his identity from another Supernatural. It also helped explain to me how the Sex Fae have been able to hide themselves from others in the Supernatural Community. It’s been established hundreds of years ago the Sex Fae were hunted down by the then Rulers of the Supernatural Community for being too powerful in their ability to seduce and control anyone.

It also showed me how Stan the Man, is a young Incubus who is more interested in getting his own needs met, and has no real interest in the sorts of standards Luka holds dear. Luka is very much bisexual (as are a number characters in my other books, since I think bisexuals are too often neglected in fiction), so I wanted to know what an Incubus might be like who was either much more likely to self-identify as gay, or at the very least, more sexually fluid. You’ll find the details in Wayward Wolf.

But once I had established the existence of Luka and Stan, I wanted to see how they would react to each other. I was also itchy with the idea Stan had violated the Sex Fae belief that there needed to be a karmic price paid when vengeance is demanded of an Incubus. In Wayward Wolf, the wronged girlfriend doesn’t pay. I figured this would be a way of bringing Luka and Stan together to discover something very special about the girlfriend. You can find out what happens in Incubus Debt.

Not long after I had specifically written Incubus Debt to be part of Incubus!, I was invited to contribute to a new gay erotica anthology with a Bear theme. While it was tempting to have my Werebear be the main character, I decided to feature Luka having a very new experience. You’ll find Luka in my Coming In The Night story for The Biggest Lover. I’ve included a lengthy excerpt at the end of this work.

Luka

The three-way with the identical twins had gone well. I felt very sated and Cindy and Brandy had definitely been satisfied. I was pretty sure they'd be able to walk again tomorrow. I had rolled up my sleeves while I cut the stems of the star-lilies I had picked up on my way home. I enjoyed their scent and they were an unusual deep maroon color. I arranged them in the vase and stepped back to admire them.

I felt a tug when the third candle was lit. It was done in a heavy-handed way, obviously by a human who had little idea what he or she was doing. Just made it easier for me. I let a Fetch version of my consciousness follow the portal being opened and saw a woman busy chanting badly pronounced Latin. She could have been reading from a dictionary or a phone book (do they still have phone books these days?), since the words never mattered. It was all about intention formed in enough of a structured way that allowed things to click between someone like her and someone like me. I could feel other entities vaguely curious who were also paying a level of attention, but my Fetch blocked their full access.

I looked past her and saw a room tricked out in the gewgaws and tchochkes so many associated with magic, as if it had been decorated by a set designer. Most seem to duplicate their impression of what a sorcerer or wizard could have sifted through when the Borgias were in full power. At least for the Twenty-First Century, they had done away with those awful stuffed crocodiles. These days I figured it was just a matter of time before someone came up with a Summoning App. Trinkets helped some humans focus their intention, but again, they mostly worked because people believed they would work. Given the fact a part of me was now here, and I would be able to materialize completely when she lit the fourth candle meant I couldn’t argue with the success of her outcome. For a lot of us in the Supernatural community, it was always like watching a Rube Goldberg contraption, or an elaborate setup of dominoes falling down in a pattern. You could either admire the effort or roll your eyes at such a waste of
