Angel's Keeping is a holiday love
story featuring a very unlikely Christmas pair: a duo of succubae. For Raschael
and Kyriel, members of a demonic horde of spies and seducers, Christmas means
nothing at all. It's just another annoying mortal holiday that grates on the
nerves of fallen angels like them. This Christmas, though, turns out to be
different, when the two are separated and Raschael must track down her
vulnerable partner before other, bigger demons do. Along the way, she manages
to pick up a quirky mortal tagalong named Noelle, who refuses to leave her side
until the fallen angel admits that even she has something to wish for this
Christmas.
How did you come with the idea for this story?
Raschael and the incubus king, Malael, have already
appeared in a few of my short stories with Breathless Press (The Wages of Sin, part of the Ravaged, Volume 2 anthology, and Bad Dreams, my hentai short story), and
I've had the feeling this family of demons would be gaining some momentum and
start telling me longer, deeper stories soon. I hadn't originally intended to
field anything for the Christmas Submissions Call this year, which had the
theme of "Angels"…but Raschael began whispering to me, and the story
just came about. It came very naturally…I wrote it in about a week.
Who is your ultimate "book boy/girlfriend"? You know, that
hottie you read about and drool over.
Thomas Raith, from The Dresden Files. This scorching fiction fantasy brought to you
courtesy of James Marsters narrating the audiobook version of Backup, a Dresden short story. That
voice, UNF!
Who is your Celebrity crush? And what would you do
if you ever meet them?
At the moment, Amber Benson, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. And I
have met her. She signed a copy of her book for me, I gave her a customized My
Little Pony, and she's been exceptionally encouraging. She's an absolute doll,
and I adore her sweet heart.
If you could collaborate with another author on a
secret project, who would you pick to
with and why? Heh, I would be hell to work with. I think it
would be fun to create something with Jim Butcher, Amber Benson or Kresley Cole,
though. I've met all three and they seem like they'd be really great to
collaborate with.

Why
would the King of Incubi send one of his spies out on Christmas Eve? Unless it
is to break her heart...
As a succubus, preying on humans is Raschael's
business, and mortal holidays are a frivolous waste of time. So maybe her king
meant to punish her when he sent her out to hunt on Christmas Eve. Or maybe he
just wanted her far, far away, so he could banish Raschael's one trusted
friend.
Now Raschael must track down a missing fallen angel, and she doesn't have a
clue where to start. Bigger predators are closing in, and Rasche's only lead is
a Christmas stripper named Noelle.
The
waitress ditched her tray of drinks and took Rasche by the hand, leading her
into one of the back rooms. The Christmas theme survived even in the private
show quarters, though with a more generous degree of triple-X action. The small
space Raschael's escort chose had been decorated with garlands and wreaths, and
a stocking hung by the door, but on top of the holiday trimmings there were
also striking boudoir pictures. They all contained the same sweet, golden
angel, but in much less "angelic" form.
Raschael spun to address the woman personally.
"Who are you?"
By way of answer, the woman nodded her head at
the bright red stocking. Noelle, it read in sapphire blue, glittery
letters across the trim.
"Noelle?" Rasche asked.
"Really?"
"Yes, really," Noelle replied
with a brilliant smile. "It really is my God-given name. Honest."
"All right, Noelle, then about Kyrie-"
"Oh, now, now."
Noelle took Rasche's hand again, stroking her
fingers, and led her to the soft red leather seat stationed in the center of
the room. She gestured for Raschael to sit and, before Raschael could stop her,
climbed expertly up into the succubae's lap.
"First thing's first, gorgeous. How about
we get a little more...intimate?"
She raised a hand and snapped her fingers. The
faded strains of Blink 182 from the main room became inaudible, as Lady Gaga's
"Speechless" flowed into the room's own speakers. Noelle lowered
herself over Raschael's body, rocking in time with the sultry piano, wrapping
arms around the fallen one's neck.
Forgetting herself for the briefest of moments,
Raschael closed her eyes and let the first swell of carnal desire stir to life
in her loins and chest. The dancer didn't stop her when she lifted up her hands
and cupped them over warm, soft buttocks.
Noelle smelled of warm vanilla. She had a
luscious body, petite with classic curves, Renaissance in a way...but with eyes
closed, Raschael's mind made her Kyriel, little and lithe and naughty. Under
her hands, Noelle's plump hindquarters might have been Kyrie's slim, boyish ass
instead, and the sweet scent of heather rose up with the remembered sounds of
Kyrie's intoxicated desire, from earlier in the evening. Rasche lowered her
face to nuzzle against a plentiful swell of tender breasts, and she sighed
before she could stop herself, moving her body against the other woman's with
yearning.
"Why don't you tell me about your
friend," Noelle whispered against her ear, gyrating ever-so-delightfully
against Raschael's body. "Why are you out searching for her on Christmas
Eve, hm?"
"She ran away," Raschael said. Her
palms caressed the dancer's ass greedily. "And I'm responsible for
bringing her back before she gets in trouble."
Noelle tsk'd her. "Now, now, Raschael. You
make her out to be some sort of bad puppy."
The dancer extended a leg and swung herself
neatly around, facing away now to grind her pert little rear down on the
succubae's lap instead. Noelle's hands stole to hers and guided them up to
stroke tits through gauzy white fabric. Raschael's fingertips found stiffened
nipples, and she teased them through the thin material.
"Who told you my name?" she asked.
"Kyrie?"
"Mm, could be..."
Noelle's hands closed, warm, over Rasche's own,
as the dancer welcomed her to knead, stroke, and caress. Rasche inclined her
head to breathe in deep, relishing the scent of beautiful blonde hair.
"Listen, honey," she whispered.
"I'm sure as hell enjoying this, and if I had the time to spare I'd be all
over you in ways you can't even conceive."
"Mm-hm," Noelle replied. Her
hips rolled in languid, mesmerizing rhythm, and Rasche let out a little growl
as she returned the motion in kind.
"Oh, sweetness, I'd fuck you until you
couldn't stand," she said. "But not now. You're going to tell
me if you've seen my girl, and where she is, and then we'll see about
making it up to you. Sound good?"
