Even though me and my girlfriends all shared a room, I didn't really pay attention to what they were wearing as we dressed. I was still feeling awful about getting my mom so upset, and I was worried Carol would decide to leave mom because our family was too weird.
And I worried my girlfriends were mad at me, since I basically forced them to tell my mom they were both part-succubus. Now I realized maybe they weren't ready for that, or maybe they wanted to do it on their own time when they were ready. Especially Susan, who hadn't even been part-succubus for three weeks yet. She was still getting used to it herself, and I forced her to tell two people she barely even knew.
My eyes were starting to fill with tears again as I thought about how I could have hurt everyone I loved without even thinking what I was doing.
"Hey Mara?" Melissa said as she put an arm around me. "Are you ok?"
Both her and Susan were already dressed and I was still in my nightshirt with some clothes in my hands. A moment later Sue was there too, both of them were hugging me in between them.
I sighed, "I'm sorry Melissa, I'm sorry Susan. I didn't think how I was putting you both on the spot."
"It's ok Mara," Sue replied. "Maybe it wasn't the best timing, but I think we needed to have that conversation with your mom sooner or later. At least now it's out of the way."
Melissa agreed, "Your mom might be a little freaked out and upset about having all that sprung on her without any warning, but I know she'll forgive you Mara. I'm more worried about Carol at the moment."
My stomach churned slightly, that was still on my mind too. If Carol decided to leave mom because of me, I'd never forgive myself.
Sue and Melissa held me for another minute or so, then Sue asked "Are you going to get dressed and come back downstairs?"
I nodded, "Yeah. I'll see you both downstairs in a minute."
They each gave me a kiss, then as they left I hurried to get dressed. I wasn't wearing anything fancy, just black leggings and a black t-shirt. I was barefoot, and my tail was sticking out over the top of the leggings.
When I returned to the den I stopped for a moment as I finally noticed what my girlfriends were wearing.
Melissa had put on her new DLP t-shirt, over a pair of green leggings. And Sue was wearing her DLP top as well, over a pair of jeans. Seeing them both in their new matching t-shirts lifted my spirits a little, and I quickly pulled off my black top and put on my DLP shirt as well.
Then my girlfriends both gave me another hug and a kiss, which also helped cheer me up a bit more.
I sat down in between them on the sofa, Melissa was on my left and Susan on my right. I knew we were probably a bit of an odd-looking group, but I didn't mind.
Melissa was the tallest, she stood about five-foot-eight. She had perfect flawless skin, wavy sunny-blonde hair that came down past her shoulders, and bright blue eyes. She had a narrow waist and wide hips and a perfectly sculpted behind, and to say her bust was impressive would be an understatement. She was almost always bubbly and cheerful, and occasionally acted a bit air-headed. In short, she was more or less what you might imagine when you heard the word 'bimbo'. Though in truth she was actually quite smart, she just acted a bit ditzy now and then.
Compared to Melissa, Susan was a lot more girl-next-door, while still being beautiful in her own way. Sue's hair was bright red and stopped just above her shoulders, her eyes were sort of blue-green. Her skin was fair and she had some faint freckles here and there. She wasn't as tall as Melissa, her height was about five-foot-six. And where Melissa was sort of skinny, Susan was a little more full-figured, with soft welcoming curves.
I thought both of them looked absolutely stunning. They were both succubi after all, and while nobody had explained it I was sure there was something supernatural going on that made the two of them so attractive. Not that they weren't already gorgeous, but I was positive they got an extra supernatural boost.
I sometimes felt out of place in between them. I was the short dusky one in between the two tall fair-skinned beauties. My hair was jet black and absolutely straight, and hung about halfway down my back. My eyes were a deep dark green, and my body shape was more or less 'petite'. At only five-foot-four I was the smallest one here. And although I knew I was cute and could look attractive, I didn't have that supernatural succubus beauty going on that my two girlfriends had.
And finally the thing that nearly ruined xmas was the fact I was obviously part-demon. I had a pair of dark red slightly curved horns sticking up three or four inches above my head, and a four-foot-long dark red spade-tipped tail wound around my waist and rested on my lap.
It was another few minutes before mom and Carol returned. I was positive they had a private conversation up in their bedroom when they were getting dressed. I was glad that neither of them looked too upset right now, as they came back into the den together.
They were both dressed comfy-casual like me and my girlfriends. Mom was in yoga pants and a t-shirt, Carol was about the same with track pants and a tee. Even dressed super-casual they made a cute couple and once again I hoped I hadn't ruined that for them.
My mom was a couple inches taller than me. She was in her early forties, but still in pretty good shape. All those years of waitressing kept her on her feet, active and stuff. She had fair skin, brown eyes, and she kept her brown hair cut short in a easy-to-maintain style.
Carol was maybe an inch taller than my mom, and a couple years younger. She was shaped a little like Susan, with lots of inviting curves. Her hair was short and black, her eyes were dark, and her skin was a beautiful dark tone.
As they entered the den together, mom sort of froze for a moment and stared at my girlfriends and me sitting there in our Demonic Lesbian Polycule shirts. Suddenly I realized maybe that wasn't the best choice after all. I figured my girlfriends wore them to make me feel better, or maybe to show that we were all still together no matter how much I messed up.
Mom and Carol finally settled into their seats across from us, and they both had a bit of wine.
Finally mom asked, "Mara what are you going to do about college? Or pretty much anything else? You know it's not going to be practical for you to go around looking like that all the time."
"I know," I sighed. My mood was once again sliding downwards. I shook my head, "I don't know yet what I'm going to do."
"Classes don't start up again for almost two weeks," Susan said as she slipped an arm around me. "We're going to help Mara and work with her and Lily to figure this out."
Melissa wrapped an arm around me too as she added, "With all of us working together, I'm sure we'll come up with a solution. Monday and Tuesday were both super hectic and like we said before, we weren't really listening or trying to help or even understand. We'll do better now that we know."
"You know I'll be helping you too," Lily added. "Your girlfriends are right Mara, the four of us will find a solution."
That lifted my spirits again, and I mumbled a quiet thanks to all of them.
There were some more quiet awkward attempts at conversation, then I finally excused myself so I could go check on dinner again. That was mostly just an excuse though, and I spent the rest of the afternoon hiding out in the kitchen.
Farah came to keep me company for a bit, or maybe she was hoping for treats or food or something. She was a black Lab, a rescue dog, about four or five years old. She craved attention and while I didn't give her any treats I did give her lots of pets and scritches.
When the time came I got the turkey out of the oven and carved it up, made the gravy and had all the side dishes ready. Mom and Carol had the dining room table all set up nice, and my girlfriends helped me carry all the food out into the dining room.
We all started eating, and everyone said the food was good. Mom said I did a good job with the turkey, which made me happy. I also noticed my girlfriends seemed to finally have more of an appetite again. The last two days they'd barely eaten. They didn't exactly have a big feast tonight but at least they ate adult-sized portions.
And both mom and Carol had full plates then had seconds of a few things. So I figured that meant the food was ok and they didn't mind eating a meal that was prepared by a demon girl.
Conversation around the table started off fairly bland, with safe topics like work and school. Mom talked a little more about the psychology program she was taking at university, and Carol talked about her work at the university IT department.
Susan told mom and Carol about the nursing and sports medicine courses she was taking, then Melissa told mom and Carol what me and her were up to with our photography course and drama classes.
I mostly stayed quiet and just listened. I was kind of worried if I opened my mouth too much I'd wind up with my foot stuck in there again.
Towards the end of the meal things got a bit awkward when everyone seemed to run out of 'safe' topics.
Carol was obviously curious and had a lot of questions about everything she'd learned this afternoon. She looked at my girlfriends and asked, "So Melissa, Susan, you two are really succubi? What's that like? Do you have some kind of magic powers or anything like that? I mean, Mara has the tail and horns, do you two do anything like that?"
Melissa answered, "Yes and no. Like we said earlier, we're part-succubus. We're still mostly human. There's a couple supernatural things we can do, but uh, nothing that'd be appropriate to demonstrate at the dinner table. And honestly, nothing we'd be comfortable demonstrating with either you or Emma."
That made my mom blush, and Carol looked embarrassed but she was still curious.
"Er, I wasn't really looking for a demonstration." Carol had a gulp of her wine then asked, "I'm still curious though. Could you tell me what sort of things you can do?"
Both my girlfriends were quiet, like maybe neither of them really wanted to discuss it. I was about to suggest maybe we change the subject when Melissa spoke up again.
She looked at Carol and replied in a apologetic tone, "When I look at someone, I can tell if that person wants to have sex with me. And it's almost like an intuition or something, but I also get a feeling for what exactly they enjoy doing in bed. So I know what they like, and how to give them the best experience they've ever had."
Carol's eyes went wide and she immediately started focusing on anything other than Melissa. She gulped, "Oh... I see..."
That caught me by surprise too, but I did my best not to show it. I realized though, there was probably a lot of stuff my girlfriends had going on that I was clueless about. I knew Melissa kept a lot of it secret at first, when she didn't want me to know what she'd become.
Another awkward silence settled on the dinner table as nobody seemed to know what to say next. I noticed my mom's face had flushed pink and she was avoiding looking at my girlfriends now too. Both mom's and Carol's body language made it pretty clear even to me they were desperately trying not to think about my girlfriends. I actually might have laughed, if I wasn't still feeling so bad about how I messed everything up once already today.
Susan broke the silence as she said "Emma, Carol? Don't be too embarrassed ok? Another thing is both me and Melissa have some kind of supernatural succubus beauty or something? I'm not sure what to call it, but almost everyone's affected by it. Even straight girls and gay guys. Even ace people respond to it."
Melissa smirked, "There's an ace girl in our drama class, every time she looks at me she starts fantasizing about cuddling. She's so adorable."
