The Subway Succubus

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This is my entrant for the Literotica 2021 Halloween Story Contest. This is very much on the 'horror' side of erotic horror. It gets a little icky near the end. You have been warned!

Alex Lumley was a little taken aback when the pretty girl with red hair suddenly hopped in his lap and started grinding her hips against him.

He was travelling on the last subway from the airport. It was late and the only other person in the carriage was an old woman in a shawl with a quilt wrapped around her legs.

Alex was travelling alone. Because of work he'd been unable to catch the same flight as the others. The evening flight had been delayed and he'd almost missed the last train. He could have booked a taxi, or an Uber, but money was tight for Alex and he tried to be careful wherever possible. The underground was a tenth of the price of a taxi and their hotel was right next to one of the stops. Alex liked using public transport when visiting foreign cities. It felt more... authentic.

Maybe a little too authentic. While the inside of the carriage was clean and bright, it had clearly been in service for some time with a limited budget for maintenance. The fluorescent tubes flickered overhead and it was both a noisy and bumpy ride. The train groaned rather than whispered through the tunnels.

The girl with red hair entered from the previous carriage just after Alex had taken a seat. She was quite a looker. Her tight black jeans and tight black top hinted at appealing curves beneath. An impish face with mischievous big brown eyes beneath a shock of dyed-red hair spoke of a rebellious nature, further reinforced by a short-cut black leather jacket.

Despite the carriage being unoccupied aside from Alex and the old woman, and with plenty of seats free, the woman chose to hang on the rail right in front of Alex, as close as if the carriage was packed.

A little too close, Alex thought. He had taken a seat near the door, so maybe hers was the next stop. It did give him a chance to glance up and take in the pleasing contours of her body and face. He didn't stare too long. It was late and he didn't want her to worry he was some kind of creeper.

It turned out his fears should have been the other way around. The girl was the creeper-type here.

A few minutes after standing right in front of Alex, she grabbed the bar above her head with both hands, lifted her legs up off the floor and smoothly plopped herself down in Alex's lap with her knees straddling him on the seat.

Alex was so taken aback he didn't know what to do. He leant back with his arms up, trying his best not to touch her.

The girl didn't say anything. Her big brown eyes twinkled and she smiled mischievously. Then she started rocking her hips against him in a way that was aggressively suggestive.

What the? Why was she doing this? Had she mistaken him for someone else? Was she drunk? Was she high? Was this one of those viral social media pranks?

The latter seemed the most likely. And even though Alex, who was currently single, would have normally enjoyed an attractive young woman gyrating in his lap, this was altogether too sudden, unexpected and brazen.

He twisted his body and carefully tipped her to the side and onto the seat next to him. Then he scooted back to the clear plastic divider at the end of the row.

The girl righted herself and sat on the seat as if nothing in the slightest untoward had just happened. She looked right in front of her and acted as if she'd been sitting like that the whole time. In contrast, Alex was sprawled up against the plastic barrier and watching her warily.

Then, with a mysterious smile only to herself, the girl got up and quietly walked to the door to the next carriage, leaving behind a very confused and bemused Alex.

* * * *

"Welcome to Eastern Europe," Brian laughed as Alex recounted the story the next day.

The four of them—Alex, Brian, Gage and Nevill—were sitting in a small bar opposite their cheap hotel. They were tucking into plates piled high with sausages, bacon and other meats, while enjoying the first beer of the day.

"You should have asked her for her number," Gage said.

"I was too shocked," Alex said. "When she jumped in my lap I didn't have a clue what to do."

"It was sexual harassment," Nevill said.

The rest of the table collectively rolled their eyes.

"I mean, think about what she did," Nevill continued. "She jumped in your lap and ground her body against your genitals. That has to be sexual harassment. Just imagine if the positions were reversed. You'd be metoo-ed out of existence."

"Yeah, but..."

"What did you feel—awkward, embarrassed. You said you didn't know how to react."

"Well..."

"There you go—sexual harassment. If it's sexual harassment when we do it to them, then it's sexual harassment when they do it to us," Nevill insisted.

Nevill's belligerence was annoying but understandable given recent events. When they'd originally booked this holiday some nine months ago it was supposed to be his stag weekend. Unfortunately, The Thing had happened since then. Nobody quite knew what The Thing was. Only that the marriage was off and Nevill's relationship was very very dead for reasons nobody quite understood and were too afraid to ask. Now it was just four lads spending a long weekend in a foreign city with cheap beer prices.

"If a pretty young woman wants to jump in my lap I'm not going to complain," Gage said. "She can sexually harass me all she likes," he added with a ribald laugh.

"That's where it's all wrong," Nevill said. "Just because she's good-looking shouldn't give her a pass. It's still sexual harassment. The man might not be interested. What if he's already got a girlfriend? A wife?"

"I wouldn't like it," Brian admitted. "It would make me feel uncomfortable."

With Nevill no longer getting married, that left Brian as the only one among them currently in a relationship. He'd gotten married last July and his wife already had a child on the way.

"Did it make you feel uncomfortable?" Nevill asked Alex.

"A little, but..."

"There you go. Sexual harassment," Nevill said.

Alex pulled a face. "It's not the same."

Sure, he'd felt mildly uncomfortable, but that was it. If it hadn't been for this conversation, he doubted he would have paid it any more mind.

Well, aside from wondering what might have been if he'd asked her for her number.

Nevill was like a dog with a chew toy. He wasn't going to let it go.

"She made unwanted sexual advances. Now imagine what the consequences would have been had the positions been reversed and it had been you pinching her on the bum. She could press charges. She could have you locked up."

"Yeah, but there's a power differential," Alex said. "I can laugh it off. A woman has to worry about the twat going violent on her."

It really wasn't anything to Alex—just something amusing that had happened to him on the way from the airport. He didn't know why Nevill was making such a big deal of it. Brian and Gage had warned him that Nevill was behaving a little erratically. Maybe The Thing had affected Nevill worse than they'd thought.

"What if she'd been ugly? What if she'd been fifty pounds heavier than you?" Nevill kept on.

"Then it would be different," Alex replied.

"Exactly," Nevill said. "That's why it's sexual harassment."

'But she wasn't', was what Alex was going to say, but he could see there was no point. Nevill was a dog with a chew toy and no amount of pulling would get it out of his mouth.

Brian saw it too, and looked to move the conversation on by paying the bill and suggesting they head to the next bar.

Gage, who was the biggest and most physically imposing of the four, with a bullet-shaped bald head, got up and grabbed his jacket. "Come on. We need to get some drinks in Alex to help him get over his recent 'traumatic' experience."

He bumped Alex on the way out.

"Get her number next time," he said with a wink.

It was probably just a prank or social media stunt, Alex thought. He supposed it wouldn't have hurt to ask. Maybe next time. Ha, right. It wasn't like he was ever going to see her again.

* * * *

Alex was proved wrong on that, as he saw the woman again two nights later. They were on another subway train, this time returning to the hotel after a night spent checking out the strip clubs of Mustek Square. It was late and the carriage was empty aside from them and an old man in a flat cap. The old man had the perpetually ruddy complexion of a long-term alcoholic and was hunched up in the corner as if he hoped no one would notice him.

Then the woman entered from the next carriage.

* * * *

Gage saw the woman with red hair enter the carriage. Sort of. The crazy lights kept flickering on and off, so he didn't actually see her walk through the door at the end. She just sort of appeared. She was wearing tight black jeans, a tight black top and a black leather jacket cut short to just above her midriff. Her most distinctive feature was a shock of dyed-red hair.

He remembered Alex's story from a couple of days ago. Could this be the same girl?

He looked over to where Alex was sitting with Brian. They were spread out. Partly because there was plenty of room and partly because they'd had enough of Nevill's shit tonight.

It was difficult. Nevill was a friend. This weekend was supposed to be for his benefit. Originally, it was meant to be his stag do. Then The Thing had happened and they'd repurposed it as a pick-me-up weekend. The lads having boozy fun in a foreign city.

But by god was Nevill making it difficult with his general bitchiness and whining. Gage had wanted to strangle the twat on multiple occasions.

Originally, it was supposed to be a 'clean' weekend. Plenty of booze, but no strippers or hookers or anything like that. They didn't want to get Nevill into trouble with his girlfriend.

Well, no need to worry about that now.

They'd thought a trip to a strip club would mellow Nevill out a bit, stop him acting like a cunt.

It hadn't.

If anything, it had made things worse.

The strip club itself, Silverfingers, was top quality. Nevill had moaned about them all being tourist traps on this street, but Gage had been given the knowledge and knew better. A mate of his had travelled out on a lad's weekend a couple of months previous and told him this place was top-notch. And it was. The minge was quality. Even classy once you took into account the regular stage shows and costume changes. Gage had got himself a lapdance with a lively little blonde hussy and thoroughly enjoyed it. They'd all chipped in to get one for Nevill as well... and that might have been a mistake.

Seeing all that gorgeous semi-naked flesh and having an energetic little hussy squirm away in his lap had maybe turned Nevill on a little too much. On leaving, he'd suggested they go somewhere where you could 'take things further'. He had fliers for places that catered to that.

The others were understandably less keen. Watching naked hot totty gyrate around a pole—or even squirm away in your fully-clothed lap—was still relatively good clean fun. Going further—sticking your dick in a hooker—was not. It was a bit sad and sleazy in Gage's opinion.

Plus, as Gage and Alex pointed out, Brian was married with a kid on the way.

'She'd never know,' Nevill retorted.

Whoa boy, it had taken most of Gage's self-control to not give Nevill a good slap there. Yeah, The Thing was shitty and everyone felt sorry for Nevill, but that was bang out of order.

Instead he'd offered to pay for Nevill's taxi. If Nevill wanted to get his end away, he could fuck off and do it and meet up with them later back at the hotel.

To which Nevill had moaned about not wanting to go alone.

Fucking pathetic.

The others had decided to leave him to sulk, and so they'd ended up sitting apart in the train carriage.

Gage watched the girl walk down the centre of the carriage. She looked pretty fine, to be fair, if a little chaotic. There were plenty of seats, but she didn't seem interested in taking any of them.

Gage caught Alex's eye and mouthed, "Is that her?"

Alex nodded in reply.

Well, well, Gage thought.

* * * *

It was the same girl, Alex was sure of it. She had that same strange ethereal look, with her lips turned up in an enigmatic smile, as if she wasn't quite all there.

Again, she chose to stand, despite there being plenty of empty seats. And, as on the night Alex had been travelling from the airport, she chose to stand very close to someone sitting down, in this case Nevill.

Brian shot a concerned glance to Alex. Alex knew exactly what he was concerned about. Nevill had been combustible all evening. They'd had to leave one place early after he'd been so vile to a waitress they'd been worried the bouncers, massive shaven-headed fuckers, were going to intervene. Given his current unpredictable mood swings, they had no idea how he'd react if the girl tried to prank him like she'd done to Alex.

They were not the only ones.

* * * *

Gage glanced sideways. The girl had stopped and was leaning over Nevill. Nevill had been too much in his own personal funk to notice her at first, but that changed. He lifted his head as her shadow fell across him.

Uh oh, Gage thought.

Given how much of a complete prat Nevill had been already tonight, this might get messy.

Gage switched his weight to his feet just in case he had to get up and intervene.

It would mean giving Nevill a slap, and given how much of a twat he'd been all night, Gage wasn't exactly averse to that prospect.

* * * *

Alex and Brian watched on with concern. No one knew how Nevill would react. He might, as Alex had done, gently tip her off to the side in bemused embarrassment. Or, he might shove her off so hard she banged her head. Or punch her. Or go in the opposite direction, misread it as a sexual advance, and pull her close for a good grope and snog.

And if it was a prank, if there was a camera hidden somewhere, all of those other options were very bad indeed. It would likely go viral and result in the world getting more of a look at Nevill than Nevill would really like.

The train bumped around a bend. Wheels squealed and rattled. The lights flickered on and off. Nevill looked up at her, his expression unreadable.

The girl moved away.

Evidently, the girl had seen something in Nevill that would make him a poor target. A good read, Alex thought.

* * * *

Gage watched the girl turn away from Nevill.

The good news was it meant he wouldn't have to give Nevill a slap.

The bad news was it meant he wouldn't have to give Nevill a slap.

The really good news was that the girl reached Gage and decided to stop there.

Allo, allo, he thought.

* * * *

The girl moved on only as far as Gage. He was an equally inviting target. He was sitting on his own with his legs apart and his long arms stretched along the back of the seat.

Gage turned to Alex and Brian and flashed them a wink. Then he went back to admiring the figure of the young woman leaning over him.

Nevill's face was all sullen thunder as he glanced across. He was going to be unbearable when they got back and for most of tomorrow, Alex thought.

* * * *

Well, ain't you a pretty little bundle of hotness, Gage thought as he looked up at the girl.

Her black jeans clung tightly to her lithe legs and the swell of her hips and ass. Her black top was equally tight and accentuated her larger than average bust. She wore a short leather jacket over the top. It was cut off just above her midriff. Her face was heart-shaped and smouldered with sexuality. Her brown eyes were big and bright, and her supple lips were curled up in a sultry smirk.

From Alex's description he expected her to look high or drunk, but saw no evidence of that in her face. Her dyed-red hair was pretty wild, but it looked as if it was styled that way through choice rather than neglect. It was very retro '80s glam.

Now then, Gage thought.

* * * *

"She's going to," Brian said.

"Yep," Alex said.

After looking her over, Gage studiously pretended she wasn't there. He just sat, sprawled casually in the seat, his lap an inviting target.

It was coming, Alex thought.

Brian fumbled in his pocket on the seat next to Alex.

"Have to record this," he said as he pulled out his smartphone.

The lights flickered.

The girl lifted herself up on the bar, opened her legs, and then smoothly plopped herself down in Gage's lap.

* * * *

Gage had already decided what he'd do if the girl did decide to jump in his lap, and that was... nothing.

Which was exactly what he did when she grabbed the bar, lifted herself up and dropped down in Gage's lap. She straddled him and immediately started rubbing her crotch against him in a suggestive manner.

He had thought about grabbing her ass and pulling her in tighter. Or maybe her tits. Fair's fair and all that.

Then he thought about how it would go down if it was just a prank with a hidden camera. Him giving her melons a good feel would be splashed all over the internet. He'd look a prize prat.

So, he just smiled at her and sat casually with his arms stretched across the back of the seats. Hey, free lapdance, he thought.

* * * *

Brian and Alex watched the girl writhe away in Gage's lap.

"If she's trying to embarrass someone, she couldn't have picked a worse target than Gage," Brian chuckled while filming it on his smartphone.

Gage glanced over and gave them a wink and a smile.

Of course Gage would just roll with it, Alex thought. He was kicking himself for not doing the same when he'd had the chance.

* * * *

This was fun, Gage thought.

He gave a smile and wink to Alex and Brian, who smiled back, and to Nevill, who didn't.

Serves you right for being a cunt all evening, Gage thought.

He turned his attentions back to the girl in his lap. She was really giving it a good squirm—rolling her hips, pushing her tits out and pouting her lips for all she was worth.

Gage felt chuffed to receive a second lapdance of the night, and a free one at that. The girl might be fully clothed, but the contours revealed by her tight figure-hugging top hinted at an even better bod than the girl that had so enthusiastically writhed in his lap back at Silverfingers. And that girl had been a complete knockout.

He was curious to see just how far she'd go to get a reaction.

Far enough to surprise him with a full passionate kiss on the lips.

* * * *

Brian started slapping Alex excitedly on the arm as the girl leaned forwards and started passionately kissing Gage. It was a proper snogging as well, like two teens at a party that were too horny to give a damn who was watching. Or rather, one really horny girl. Gage was still trying to play it cool.

"Ooh ooh," Brian said as Gage's arms left the back of the seat and slowly moved around to wrap around her.

They didn't go all the way. Gage stopped just before fully embracing her. His hands hovered awkwardly.

"Nearly," Brian laughed.

Alex glanced over at Nevill.

Whoa boy, did he look pissed. His bottom lip jutted out in a whiny pout.

Welcome to the what-might-have-been club, Alex thought. Maybe she'd end up picking Gage's pocket and Alex would feel better about himself, but right now he was really regretting being hasty in throwing her off two nights ago.

* * * *

Fuck me, this girl knew how to snog, Gage thought. It had caught him by surprise. He'd been thinking of this as like a lapdance and lapdancers didn't kiss.

And boy could she kiss. Tongue and all. It reminded Gage of that little hussy he'd made out with behind the bus station when he'd been back in his teens. He couldn't remember her name. Gemma or something like this. She could snog your face right off. Mouth like a hoover. Gave a wicked blowjob. But she also had a fondness for cake that had caused her figure to balloon.
