I was so weirded out that my vision was starting to go dark. I felt on the brink of passing out and I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. The maggot-things tentacles pulled my anus in different directions, seeking. The tentacles around my nuts gently pulled at them, licking them. The tentacles inside Anne massaged her and I together.
This went on for some time. Anne's orgasm never ended. She just kept contracting, her pussy twitching. Her head pressing down on the maggot maw through the membrane. Her back and my stomach were drenched in sweat, and tentacles slithered between us and licked, slurped it up leaving behind sticky residue. The room was growing quiet but the maggots seemed to be getting anxious. Even the spiders started to get twitchy. I continued to drill Anne, wondering where this was going. Anne called back to me, slightly alarmed.
"Cum, you fool!"
It hadn't dawned on me that my performance wasn't expected to be very long but this had been going on for probably the better part of five minutes or more. Thrusting as I could. I thought about blowing my load. I was really ready and I knew it would take nothing, but something tickled the back of my mind and I had an idea. I stopped my slow thrusts and got up as far as I could, as far as my bonds would let me and looked at the audience. I could barely see them. Just the light glinting off hundreds of eyes. I raised my voice and pleaded.
"Release me!"
The room erupted in hisses. It sounded angry. The din was riotous.
"You fool! Arrrrrh. What are you thinking???"
I struggled to get my arms free, knowing full well it wouldn't happen.
"Release me!!" I shouted at the ceiling.
The din got even louder and then all the sudden it went quiet. Then, while the maggots continued their mauling, sliding around my cock and into my anus, tugging at Anne's empty breasts, the spiders moved forward. Tentatively.
They moved in and began undoing my bonds. They undid all of them in seconds. It was if there was a catch to them. But Anne was still pasted down. The maggots on her breasts popped off and began searching, as if they sensed my movement. I pushed myself up off Anne's shoulders and rocked my penis out of her vagina. The maggot mouth on my ass released me but would not retract it's tentacles from in my anus or around my nut sack and cock. The din of hissing rose. Anne shouted at me,
"I hope you know what you are doing!"
"It's fine dining! Of course I do!"
I got my knees under where her thighs were on the cell walls and then put one foot up across one under her thigh with the knee above it raised in the air. The other knee I kept there and I leaned the foot against the maggot's side. It didn't even notice. The skin was soft but under it was relatively firm. It continued to work me. I was upright, balanced precariously. I gently grabbed my cock, displacing the tentacle still slithering on it and began stroking it over Anne's ass. The bugs erupted in hisses. Even the spiders were twitchy. The maggots that were sucking on Anne's breasts were aware of my manipulations and were straining to reach my outstretched penis.
"This is gonna be either brilliant or get us both killed!" I shouted at Anne.
"If it's not brilliant, we'll know soon enough. Thanks for the after-consult!"
I built myself up further. The gaping, tentacled maws strained to reach me, their longer, slimy tentacles reaching but not getting enough contact to stay with me. I stroked my cock in long strokes, speeding up smoothly. I stroked it out to the end and then paused, as if I was squeezing it. I did this repeatedly, almost theatrically. Then, I let myself go. I came hard. I stroked it out of my penis in giant strings all over Anne's back and ass. The room erupted with me.
"You know if they are pissed, it's over right?"
"Relax. They love it!" I shouted back, laughing.
The breast maggots discovered the semen instantly and slurped it up with abandon. The one on my right was trying to hump its way out of its cell and having some success. It's maw was plastered to Anne's back. The other was stretching toward my cock, slurping up all the come nearer her ass. The one under my ass went absolutely nuts. Tentacles inside my ass bent under my ass to lift me up so other tentacles could lick up the cum dripping down Anne's ass crack. It was crazy. My brain was puling back, retreating again.
Tentacles came up and slid around my cock again, milking the last vestiges of semen from my urethra. This went on only briefly, until the semen was gone. The maws began searching again and things were getting a little rough. The spiders rolled in and put the maggots away. They tucked the maggots, poking them and prodding them back into the cells and released Anne from her bonds. I slid over and stood up on a maggot cell adjacent to the one that was under my ass and the spiders started rushing me off the 'field'. They started pulling and tugging at Anne to get her off too. I saw the spiders begin to pull the membranes back over the cells and start gooping them with slime and silk from their spinneret holes.
At the side of the 'field' I grabbed Anne's hand in the lovers hold and started leading her up the toward the lighted anteroom and hallway. She was shaky. The ant creatures were all around us. They were calm but very interested. We walked calmly but quickly up to the doorway and walked through. The bug things made way, turning away as we neared leaving fresh bugs in front of us to turn away the same. When we got to the doorway it was clear, just as the rest of the way had been. The lights to the little room were on as were the hallway lights just a few feet further on. I guided Anne and myself into the hall.
"I can't believe that." Anne said, dazed.
"Well it worked, didn't it?" I asked.
"Tell me that again later. If you are able."
"It's fine. They loved it."
"I have never been in there before. I have never heard of anyone being in there before. Their babies are in there. They seem to regard their babies rather highly."
"If it's not fine, I'm sorry. I confess, I got carried away." I said, plainly.
"Come on, let's get cleaned up."
"How do you know that's where we are going?" I asked.
She stopped and smiled. "Want to be a rock star but don't know any songs."
She pointed out slime all over her pussy and a bit of semen clinging to my cock.
"Yeah, so what?"
"Nothing is wasted. You know that liquid that gets sprayed on us in there?"
"Yes. It's not water. Not at first." I say.
"No, its 'media'."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It is a surfactant liquid that washes off all traces of our bodily fluids and it is filtered and the fluids and stuff are collected."
"Collected and..."
"Exactly." She said, matter of factly.
"Yuk."
"Yeah? Eye of the beholder. Tell me you wouldn't go through a lot of trouble for a little taste of something sweet."
She looked at me, smiling and continued.
"Something smells like violets and tastes like-MMMMmmmmph"
"Wait, you and her?"
"That was a good day. Good day." She said, wistfully.
It hadn't really occurred to me that same-sex stuff would go on. I had no interest in men. Never had. But I had an interest in women, plural. And after today, it almost seemed realistic.
We rounded a corner and there were the cleansing chambers in a station. This was going to feel good.
We finished our cleansing and it was off to a rest chamber. At least for me. The lights split us up immediately. Anne grabbed me for a hug and pressed her lips to mine in a very friendly kiss. She released me with a smirk and turned to walk away and nearly collapsed in laughter.
"What?" I asked. Puzzled.
"She said 'tell him remember to breathe'. Oh honey, he got the heavy breathing thing down!"
She guffawed and waved me off and walked away chuckling. As she went, she gave her but a wiggle, as if she were correcting some loose parts inside and she gave a "Mmmm!" and cruised away.
I couldn't help but chuckle too. I turned and went down my hall. I made two more turns and came to a room I had never seen before. It was a bare room except Kera was there! She had heard me coming and greeted me at the door with a huge hug and a passionate kiss. She pulled me into the room and I noticed the floor was springy and a little tacky. It was the transparent chamber material. She dragged me down to the floor and it molded itself to us. She lay on top of me and kissed me again, her breasts pressed against me. She broke the kiss and glared into my eyes.
"You fu$%#d her, didn't you!" She said, fiercely.
"Kera, it's not like that. We were..I-see, there was this room, and all the things were, well-"
She glared as I fumbled and stammered, her glare growing fiercer as I spoke. And then her face broke with a huge smile. She chuckled.
"Gotcha! You dirty man-whore! You'll just stick your cock into anything that moves, wont you!" She laughed at me.
"Hey, I thought you were being serious. I would never betray you. She did say that you two though..." I stated, smoothly.
"Uhh! We did, it was incredible. She is reaaaaally sexy. So how was your first performance?"
She sat me up and sat in my lap. She smelled delicious. I got hard instantly and she grabbed it. I told her what happened. She was stunned beyond speaking. Her mouth open and clutched by one of her hands. She didn't make a sound until I was done and then still stared in amazement.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.
"It was a birthing ceremony. I've only heard of it. They feed larvae and it induces them to metamorphose. That you were chosen is surprising. And that you are here is a...surprise. I understood that the ceremony sets precedent. The spiders place the participants where they decide. Where they choose. The larvae that devours the seed becomes a prince, princess, whatever. The other two that drink the milk are slain and fed to the other...along...along with the participants." She finished quietly.
"You can't be serious." I said.
"Like I say, I have only heard of it. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't think so"
"Well, I don't know. Anne kinda said I was playing with fire. I had no idea."
"It may be that you have made three in a royal line where they expected one." Kera postulated.
"Is that a good thing?"
"I wouldn't know."
"Will you kiss me then?" I asked.
Kera grabbed me in a fierce hug. "I'm just glad you are here." She said and kissed me, pushing me back down on the soft floor. We fooled around but didn't get to anything serious. I played with her hair. It was strange and new to me. She rubbed my chest, laying in the crook of my arm. It was impossibly pleasant. I didn't talk. I just didn't feel like it. I just wanted to rest and appreciate her company and she seemed pleased to do likewise.
After a while, the lights came on in the hallway. We both groaned. It was time to go.
"So did you get to enjoy Annie at all?"
Kera asked, taking my hand and walking with me across the springy floor.
"Well, not really. The tentacle things made it too distracting. I was a little worried how you'd feel too."
We turned the corner and continued walking.
"Don't give it a second thought. I lost track long ago the things I've done and the guys and girls I've done them with. You are probably going to get passed around like grandma's potato salad at the family reunion. Everybody is going to have a bite or two."
I laughed. Where did that come from?
"Where did that come from?" I had to know.
"Oh, from the midwest of course. Joliet, Illinois to be exact, but I'm a Buckeye."
"Seriously?"
"Yep. Biology. Probably pre-med. I don't know. That was years ago. I was only a sophomore."
"That explains a lot."
She laughed. I wondered if there was a way to go back. To get teleported home. Both of us. There was something about those function chambers.
"Do you know where we are going?" I asked.
"No. But here is a room."
We turned a corner and there was a briefing room. We walked in together and the lights dimmed. Three ant creatures were on the other side of the room all very focused on us. There was a pause, and then the indistinctly gendered voice came through the wall.
"Your performance has caused a rift in the colony."
The voice paused. We waited. They did not speak and I was winding up the courage to ask what they meant when there appeared to be some communication going on between the ant creatures. Lidded eyes closed. Heads turned minutely and then back to us. That could not be good.
"The colony prepares for war."
There was actual hissing going on in there and we could hear it. Heads turned and eyes blinked furiously at each other. This was really not looking good.
"The implications of your role in this have not been decided." The voice echoed, monotone.
"What do you mean, MY role? I haven't done anything. I couldn't do anything."
"On the contrary, you have broken a long tradition. We don't know when it was set forth. Your race has been a part of it for eons."
"I don't know anything about any tradition or any of this." I complained.
"We understand your ignorance. Your race has not matured technologically except for recently, and your records were probably lost. Ever has your race been individualistic-minded. Our colonies, and hives do not operate in the same manner."
There was more hissing and eye blinking. Kera and I looked at each other. She looked lost. I squeezed her hand but she didn't respond. Her skin was pale. She was very still. As if movement would get her noticed.
"We act upon a prophecy. A legend, unclear in our collective, though present. It indicates a time coming of three queens."
The ant-thing in the other room on our left jumped and slammed into the one in the middle, bashing it into the transparent wall. There was violent hissing and the middle ant threw it's attacker against the wall near the other ant. The hissing continued and the ant-beings seemed furious with each other. Then it was over as if it had never happened.
"Our queens are chosen by the keepers. They select them, and the seed of a human is fed to our new queen. The milk of a human in congress is fed to it's nearest rivals, to sweeten them for the new queen. We have searched for some time for the right humans for the infusion. The last five sets have failed to complete the ceremony."
"I didn't mean to-"
"Your intentions are immaterial. The keepers decision to release you was theirs and theirs alone. We do not mettle in their decisions and they do not mettle in ours. Our relationship with them is sacred. Our relationship with you also, is sacred."
"I don't understand." I said.
"Our queens consume your seed. With little exception. It makes them what they are. You see, we have no...males, as you know it. Your race was selected to augment ours. You, were selected to feed our new queen, and be fed to her. It is the highest honor for your race we know."
"I don't want to be fed to anyone, queen or otherwise." I said.
I had given what Kera had said some thought and it came back to me.
"I just want to go home, with Kera. And Anne."
"It is not possible. What you have done has created a problem of epic proportions. Our existing queen dies, slowly, even now. The keepers have decided that all three pupae are to be queens. It may be that she is replaced by three queens."
"I don't understand how that is possible or even why that is a problem. One queen, three queens. Perhaps a tribunal rule is an improvement!" I said.
"The colony is rejoicing that you shared your seed between them, effectively making three queens. We have the resources, seed, urine, defecant, milk, media, for but one."
"...did it just say...media?" I asked Kera in a very low voice.
She nodded her head.
"So all that time...wow."
She nodded her head again.
I was wound up for a question. "If I may. So now I know where the...seed goes. And I know what the...media is and how it is used. What exactly is done with the other..'products', if I may ask?"
The ant-creature on our left, the violent one came forward.
"Your seed had broad support among us for selection for our new queening. It is believed that the proper nuance upon selection makes the queen what she will be. She saves that seed and fertilizes her eggs with it, mixing the chromosomes into our genetic code for her entire life span. The rest of the seed she consumes is food. Volume is required. Before that, milk. Human milk is perfect for larvae. The other products you speak of are consumed not by the queen or larvae. They belong to the colony."
"Why all the performance? Why not just leave everyone in the big systems?"
"The colony, we, have by your standards, extremely sharp senses for taste and smell. Your flavors change to suit different desires. Kera, for instance, has a following for her fear, but an even greater one for her passion."
"Since we are talking, do I want to know-wait, I don't want to know that. What will happen to us now?"
"It is difficult to say. The production of the "light system" is high, but cannot meet the demand. It's production cannot be tripled even if we did have the capacity to triple the number of occupants. The production of the "dark system" is steady, but not significant under the circumstances. The "garden level" produces no significant amount. It exists for ceremonial purposes. The garden level will likely be returned to the light system. Many in the dark system may be moved up also, but this is not a complete solution, especially as many in the dark system cannot handle the light, having come from there."
"It's the semen you need, right?" I asked.
"The other products are important."
"Are you capable of teleporting us back to Earth?" I responded.
Kera breathed in sharply. Her grip on my hand fierce. I glanced at her and her nipples were hard over puffy areolas.
There was a long pause from the other room.
"For what purpose?" Came the question.
Time for a pitch. I took a deep breath. This could work. The idea not even fully fledged.
I laid out my plan, hinged on a pretty big contingency. They didn't absolutely need the men or women, they just needed the semen. The other things weren't impossible, though.
Kera and I left the room hand in hand. I hadn't made any indications that I expected the rest of the day to be any different than normal, but it was safe to assume we would be free to do as we pleased until the colony came back with a decision.
"You are f$##%^ brilliant. And probably insane." Kera said as we walked around the corner from the room.
I stopped her and faced her as we stepped around the corner.
"Will you go home with me? I don't care where. I just want to be with you wherever we are."
She hugged me tight. It was a hug as if she was home from a long trip. I felt the same way. I kissed her fiercely and felt her skin flush against mine.
"Only if Anne goes too, but yes." She said. "I already love you. I have been in love with you from the moment I saw you." She said, looking into my eyes. Her big blue eyes unblinking. "I know I'm supposed to wait until you say it first because you are the man, but I don't care. The truth is the truth and I won't hide from it."
She put her fingers over my already responding lips.
"No. Let me savor being first whether I am merely first or only."
I gazed into her liquid eyes. She had earned that and more. I would tell her when the time was right. She had earned her thunder.
"Shug!" I drawled.
"Ass-scratcher." She replied.
We walked down the hall together and a minute later we stumbled around a corner into Anne.
"Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in." She blurted in her alto voice and grabbed Kera for a hug.
