Hidden in the countryside of France, the Chateau de la Grotte Chachee opens its doors to only a few select patrons. Through the centuries, guests have come, been welcomed and indulged their most secret fantasies with the castle's mythical resident hosts.
Lili, a sensual Babylonian goddess, holds court with Elic, an incubus who changes his sex at will depending on the mortal he currently pursues. For Lili and Elic, as well as the other inhabitants of the castle, the possession and the slaking of raw desire is everything. And as humans wear their hearts on their sleeves, their desire for pleasure shows on their countenance. Eyes bright at the thought of release, lips trembling for it, cheeks flushed and pulses racing, the guests beg and plead without ever having to utter a word. And the hosts provide. Fantasies are fulfilled without remorse or regret and with the most experienced and enthusiastic of partners. Whatever you wish is their desire. Their only purpose is to please and be pleased.
