Luke captures a Succubus, whom he sees as a demon, not a person and in that choice makes some decisions that show the worst in him. She says nothing through all that she is put to until he finally goes too far, does one thing too far… are she speaks at last. And Sheal reveals that she isn’t what he expected her to be. But then, she also finds that she isn’t what she believed herself to be either.
This is more than a simple story, more than the erotic moments in it. In all of the anger, mistrust, confrontation and loss… There is understanding, realization, and in the end, a moment of clarity. It really was so much more than the summary of this work could reveal and that really is a shame.
