All right, cards on the table: I wrote this story to be the first chapter not a standalone. I made the choice a little ways in and I plan on doing something with it relatively soon. What that'll be I can't say but rest assured, this isn't just a total bullshit cliffhanger lol. Hopefully y'all enjoy regardless of that particular decision! Fans of oral sex should have a good time with it!
With a final, climactic note the lades faded and the curtains fluttered shut as Enzo Moretti's lifeless body was swallowed up by the darkness. And for just a moment the crowd was too devastated to react with anything more than a great, deafening silence. There wasn't so much as a whisper among the hundreds upon hundreds of tear stained faces watched in awe and disbelief. Until they all erupted into uproarious applause.
Every last person capable of standing leapt to their feet, their cheers shaking the very foundations of the theater. Yet as thunderous as their celebration might've been it was nothing compared to the utter cacophony they unleashed as the curtains swung open and the cast took their final bows. Illuminated by the soft glow of half a dozen spotlights every single member basked in the praise and adulation of critics and fans alike. Though none smiled wider than Enzo himself. Unable to hold back his tears a moment longer he wept right alongside his fellow actors with an ear to ear smile. Like everyone around him he could hardly believe their opening night was truly over.
Physically and emotionally exhausted he could scarcely keep his feet beneath him with every bow and yet he refused to turn away until the rest of the case had truly basked in their hard earned success. Until everyone who'd helped make his dream a reality had taken a bow of their own. Had they not vehemently opposed the idea when he first suggested it he would've pulled every single member of the crew on stage. From the lighting engineers to the makeup artists and everyone in between deserved a share of the excitement and in his wild eyed exuberance Enzo very nearly forgot about their insistence altogether! Thankfully before he could break away from his fellow actors and start rounding up everyone who preferred to stay behind the scenes the curtains fell once more. Though the cheering and celebration didn't stop.
Indeed it only seemed to grow more passionate as he and the rest of the actors turned away from the stage, their shoulders finally slumping as they all breathed a sigh of relief. As if they'd been collectively holding their breath for hours upon hours, “Well I'd say that was a bit of a success!” Marjorie chuckled.
“That was better than I could've dreamed!” Enzo exclaimed, stepping away from everyone to face them all with a joyous smile, “I can't thank you all enough! I never imagined this silly little project of mind would turn out so... so... so wonderful!” Practically shaking with excitement despite how weary he truly was Enzo rushed forward and hugged the two nearest to him, “Thank you so much!”
Fully expecting his sudden embrace Kenneth and Rashida had enough time to brace themselves for his almost strangling hug, “You're welcome!” the latter wheezed.
“You did plenty of work too!” The former groaned.
“But none of it would've been possible without you!” Enzo replied. Pulling away from the first two he immediately rounded on the others and cried, “All of you!” Before leaping on another group without any thought or hesitation.
But in spite of Enzo's boundless excitement he and everyone else still managed to exit the stage and return to their dressing rooms before too long. In no small part because they were all expected at a big party to celebrate their first show. Although if things had gone poorly it would've been to lament their first show but thankfully that wasn't the case and everyone's spirits were practically soaring. Enzo himself was all but bouncing off the walls as he emerged from his dressing room first and immediately started pacing up and down the halls as he waited for his costars. The first one to emerge was quickly set upon by a wave of eagerness as Enzo wasted no time going over every last detail and analyzing everything that'd happened. Simultaneously talking through ways to improve his own performance and feverishly gushing about the Omar's portrayal he was nothing short of a menace until Rebecca and Emily were finished changing too. At the very least their presence helped dilute his passions enough to save Omar from being his sole focus any longer.
And by the time everyone was ready to go Enzo had satisfied much of his post performance high, though he was still grinning like a fool and wholly unable to stop. Even compared to the most excited members of the cast around him he was a ray of sunshine so bright and so overwhelming the average person would've struggled to stick around for long. But his costars were all too familiar with his cheerful demeanor and they took it in stride. Especially when his attention diverted to some of the behind the scenes workers.
“I really appreciate that Mr. Mor—Enzo, but I'm tellin you didn't do anything special. This was a pretty standard lighting job. I'm real glad you liked the results but you gotta stop actin like it was some amazing performance or whatever. I just made sure you folks were lit right. I didn't do nothing else—”
“I'm telling you Dahlia, the lighting was inspired!” Enzo practically cheered, “Without your keen eye and skilled hands nobody would've seen us on stage! All the emotion of our performance would've been lost! You saved the show every time your pressed those buttons or moved those levers or anything else you did! And I won't let anyone say otherwise, not even you!”
“C'mon pal, we're gonna be late to the party.” Omar laughed, clapping a hand on Enzo's shoulder and gently guiding him away from Dahlia, “Traffic's gonna be nightmare and you don't want to—”
“Lacey!” Enzo exclaimed, spotting one of the sound engineers and rushing over to her as if Omar hadn't said a word, “I can't thank you enough for the incredible job you did! I was just telling Dahlia how important her brilliant lighting skills are and I couldn't possibly let you leave without knowing you're every bit as brilliant!” Throwing his arms out as he spotted several other backstage workers nearby he added, “All of you are just so brilliant!”
“He does know they're all invited to the party right?” Nathan asked, walking up to Omar and shaking his head as he watched Enzo gush over the bemused but not unsurprised workers, “I'm like ninety nine percent sure he was the one who invited them all.”
“He insisted.” Omar said with a grin. “But that doesn't mean anything. He's probably gonna do this at the party too. Just wait until we're all in the same place and he can address everyone.”
“It's a good thing he doesn't drink.” Rashida joked. Standing beside her friends and staring at Enzo with a mix of amusement, exasperation, and affection everyone had after spending any length of time with him she added, “Could you imagine what he'd be like drunk? We'd never be able to stop him from hugging us.”
Omar and Nathan exchanged looks, all at once terrified by that prospect and quietly wondering if they could make it happen. But before they could say anything Dahlia approached and said, “Hey guys, what're we gonna do about the paparazzi outside? They're definitely not gonna let us out easy.”
“Shit, I didn't even think about that.” Nathan sighed. “Of course they'd be swarming all over this place after Enzo's big show.”
“Maybe we can sneak out the side entrance or something and get to our cars before anyone has a chance to spot us?” Rashida suggested, “As long as they don't see Enzo we should be fine. I doubt any of them give a damn about us, they're just here for—”
“Why wouldn't they care about you?!” Enzo exclaimed, returning to his fellow costars with his arms around the shoulders of two backstage workers, both of whom were grinning and shaking their heads at his antics. As people so often did. “You were all the stars of the stage tonight! Why, I wouldn't be surprised if they start hounding everyone that worked here! All of you did such an amazing job with everything it's no less than you deserve!” His expression darkened for just a moment as he considered what he'd just said before adding, “Not that I want any of you to be harassed of course!”
“Well it's a little too late for that either way,” Dahlia replied, “I had security check the external cameras and there's dozens of the fuckers just waiting to jump you. There's no way we're getting out of here any time soon.”
“They'll probably chase us all to our cars if we try.” Nathan grumbled, “Especially anyone that's with you Enzo.”
“Why would you have to go to your cars?” He asked, visibly confused by the sentiment.
“How else are we gonna get to the party?” Omar replied.
“Oh I hired a limo for all of us! A really big one too! The biggest they had! That way we'll all be nice and comfortable on the way and nobody will have to worry about being late!”
For a few seconds everyone was too surprised by his response to fashion one of their own. Despite that sort of thing being so common for Enzo it shouldn't have even registered. Maybe that was how they managed to shake off their shock quickly enough to keep poking holes in his generosity. No matter how much they appreciated it.
“That doesn't really change the issue of the paparazzi.” Nathan stated, “But obviously thank you for doing that, I'm sure it wasn't cheap to rent a limo big enough for the entire cast.”
Enzo scoffed at those words and dismissively waved his hands, “It was nothing! Don't even mention it my friend!” His smile quickly took on a more pensive tinge as he finally stepped away from the people he'd been hugging and stroked his chin, “As for the paparazzi... I think I have a plan for them too. But I'll probably have to be the bait so everyone else can escape.”
'And how're you gonna escape?” Omar wondered.
“Oh I'll figure something out. I'm sure they all have better places to be and bigger stars to focus on than me! We just have to make sure the cast and crew can get out okay! Once everyone's in the limo it'll be smooth sailing!”
Much as they wanted to argue with his optimism, to point out just how insanely famous he really was, everyone around Enzo knew better than to try. They would've made more progress trying to shadow the sun and if nothing else he knew how to avoid paparazzi. So without any argument they called everyone together to discuss whatever he was thinking and let him explain his big scheme. With only a little bit of gushing about how amazing they all were interspersed throughout.
“Hmmm, the humans truly do idolize that male. Few others could boast of the swarms following him about and tracking his every move. How many more track his actions and chronicle his endeavors through their 'internet'? Are the numbers higher than the last query I made?”
“Substantially. It seems the debut of his latest performance coincided with a spike in popularity brought about by the film he starred in the year prior. In addition to promotional efforts centered around yet more projects both named and unnamed. He's succeeded in disseminating his presence across much of the human world.”
“And the wider consensus seems to agree that he remains physically appealing specimen. They lack a universal consensus but that was to be expected. Even taking that into account the ratio seems quite heavy in his favor.”
“I see. Then perhaps it's time we made good on our plans. We'll continue to monitor the other specimens, including the female, but for now we focus our attention on him.”
“Very well. Which protocols will we sent to our operatives?”
“The latest. But we need only send them to a single operative. There's no use risking discovery or danger. She will accomplish the mission easily enough. Ensure she's understands the parameters of the new protocols and confirm she's capable of enacting them, then commence immediately.”
“At your command my Queen.”
Only ten or fifteen minutes late Enzo and the rest of his companions arrived at the lavish hotel suite he'd rented out for the night. Complete with a veritable feast waiting for them and damn near everything anyone could possibly want to drink. Along with a luxurious pool, a view most people would kill for, and few extra guests invited in secret as a little surprise. Mostly just family and loved ones but he'd even gone out of his way to invite a few others just to make sure nobody was left out and everyone was accounted for. Much to the surprise and delight of the cast and crew. In typical Enzo style he hadn't so much as hinted at any of it outside of promising he would 'take care of everything' whenever someone tried to get information out of him.
“I can't believe you did all this!” Rashida exclaimed, turning away from her wife to smile at Enzo while he beamed back at her, “How in the hell could you keep all of this a secret for so long?!” She looked at her wife for a moment before adding, “Both of you?!”
“I know it'd be so much more fun as a surprise!” He replied, “Oh and you should check out the food I had brought in. Especially that table over there... I think it's got something you might like one it!”
“You're unbelievable, you know that?”
Enzo just smiled at her for a moment before someone else came up to thank him and he was pulled away from Rashida altogether. Much to his delight he spent the first twenty or thirty minutes just talking to everyone and basking in the excitement on their faces. Not a single one had known what he had in store for them and only Omar had come anywhere close to guessing. Even if he was still completely blown away by everything. Particularly when his wife and sons showed up seemingly out of nowhere just like Enzo had planned all along. He probably could've spent the whole night wandering around enjoying their cheer and delighting in their smiles but it wasn't long before all his fellow costars and even the crew that'd worked on his play started roping him into other things as the party really kicked off. Different conversations and games and even into the pool after about an hour of fun, correctly guessing that he'd worn his swimwear under his clothes.
And in a wonderful little surprise of his own the woman he'd been talking to on and off for the better part of two years showed up as well. Enzo hadn't heard back from her in so long he was all but convinced she wouldn't make it. Not that he really blamed her! Coming to his silly little party was hardly more important than traveling all over the globe on diplomatic missions. Though even still Enzo couldn't begin to pretend he wasn't overjoyed to see her walking in.
“Eva?!” He shouted from the pool, “Eva?!”
Slipping and sliding all over the floor as he scrambled out of the water Enzo nearly bowled over half a dozen people on his way towards her. And nearly tumbled head over heels at least three times as his excitement got the better of him. But somehow he managed to reach the tall, gorgeous woman he'd wanted to see more than anyone and as soon as he did he couldn't even speak..
“H-How did you—when did y-you—I didn't think you'd—are you in town for—a-are you staying—do you want something to eat—or something to drink—did you bring a swimsuit—do you wanna meet every—”
“It's good to see you again.” She laughed, her voice every bit as low and husky as he remembered. “I meant to call and tell you I was coming but it slipped my mind. Then once I was already on the plane it seemed like the perfect chance to surprise you.” Eva looked him up and down for a moment with a knowing grin before cheekily adding, “And it looks like I succeeded!”
“You did!” Enzo exclaimed, “You really, really did! I-I never imagined you'd show up! Did you see my play too?”
Eva's smile shrank just the tiniest bit and the smoldering depths of her dark eyes softened, “No, I tried to catch an earlier flight but I couldn't get anything in time. I'm sorry.”
“Don't worry about it!” He exclaimed, cheerfully waving his hand and sending flecks of pool water splashing across the woman of his dreams. “Oh my god I'm so sorry!” Enzo gasped. Instantly looking eveyr which way for something to dry her off he snatched a napkin of a nearby table and offered it to her with a mixture of embarrassment, excitement, and plain old happiness, “You look amazing tonight—you always look amazing but tonight you look really amazing!”
“You don't look too bad yourself.” She replied.
Taking the napkin and gently dabbing across her neck and face she fixed him with a grin that just about melted Enzo even before he foolishly replied, “But I'm not even dressed up!” Looking down at his half naked body for a moment before looking back at her and realizing what she meant his cheeks darkened while he let out a soft, “Oh...”
Eva giggled at him but didn't respond until she'd set the napkin back down on the table, “Would you mind showing me to the washroom before you introduce me to everyone?”
“O-Of course! It's right this way!”
Furtively shaking the water off his hands and brushing it off his body Enzo motioned into a different part of the penthouse suite and set off with Eva in tow. Although it didn't take more than a few seconds to reach the bathroom he still tried to gush about his play and everyone he'd worked with. Which naturally led to him trying to introduce her to anyone they passed by, eagerly trying to pull them aside to tell Eva how amazing and wonderful they were. But like always she was nothing if not a master of reining him in and keeping him focused. At least when she wanted to.
“I'll be out in a minute. I'd say don't wait for me but we both know you'll never listen.”
Enzo blushed at those words and didn't respond, too embarrassed to think of anything. Especially when it was so blatantly true he couldn't have refuted it even if he wanted. Instead he just nodded and took a few steps away from the door so he wasn't totally invading her privacy. And so he could continued to dry himself off as best he could without any towels or anything. He almost considered rushing off to find some but the thought of Eva leaving the bathroom to find him gone kept Enzo rooted in place. He just kept flicking his hands and brushing water off his skin until he heard the door open again.
“You know there are towels in the washroom?” Eva teased, the warmth of her breath and softness of her voice nearly scaring him half to death. Enzo practically fell over as he turned to look at her only to find Eva standing a few inches away with a truly gorgeous smile lighting up her face, “I'm sure you'd have an easier time drying off with those.”
“Y-Yeah, probably!” He agreed, still trying to shake the water off his swim trunks, “Would you mind waiting for me?”
“Not at all. I'm here to stay.”
Positively elated by those words Enzo nodded and hurried into the bathroom, moving as carefully as he could around Eva to avoid ruining her beautiful dress any more than he already had. And he resisted the temptation to look back at her when he opened the door, keenly aware of how silly he was being yet struggling to rein those feelings and reactions in. Especially when he knew Eva didn't mind. Or at least he hoped she didn't mind! The fact that she was at his party and willing to spend the whole night with him definitely made it seem like she didn't. Just like it definitely put a spring in his step as he eagerly grabbed one of the towels off the rack
But in his excitement and single minded desire to return to Eva as fast as possible Enzo didn't notice the towel was already damp. Not until he was pressing it against his face and trailing it across his neck and shoulders, “Oh someone must've already used this! I wonder who... who it could... could have... been...”
Confusion rippled through him as his mind started to go fuzzy before he'd even finished his thought, every word feeling further and further away than the last. Still mindlessly trying to dry himself off with the damp towel he struggled to even hold the fabric as his fingers lost all their strength. Followed immediately after by the rest of his muscles. A soft groan tumbled from his lips as he slumped against the wall hard enough for a noisy thud to echo through the bathroom. Yet before he could so much as take another breath he was sliding down the wall and collapsing against the floor. Every inch of his body was growing more numb by the second and it felt like his brain had been dropped in a vat of alcohol. Just trying to furrow his brow and call out to Eva felt like an impossible task. Just trying to lift his head and keep it upright as his hands dropped to his lap and his shoulders dropped was completely impossible. He barely even heard the door open as he lay there struggling to stay conscious.
“Is everything all right Enzo? I heard a strange sound!”
“Eva...” A little spike of adrenaline lanced through his body at the sound of her voice and when she lifted his head to look into his eyes he just barely managed to say, “I don't... feel... right... s-s-something's... wrong...”
Eva watched him closely and listened to every word he said but there was none of the smoldering affection he was used to. Nor any sort of concern for his well being. She seemed almost coldly clinical while she scanned his face and when she took his pulse she flashed him an altogether uncharacteristic smile. One that only made his heart pound that much faster and the adrenaline lancing through his body spike that much harder. Though it didn't help him do much more than weakly ask a question he'd never get an answer to.
“What's... going... on... what did... you... do to... me... Eva...”
Darkness crept into the edges of his vision and Eva continued to watch him, a strangely satisfied look spreading across her face. Almost triumphant even. Enzo tried to pull away from her. To cry out for help. To do anything more than just sit there struggling to stay awake while she looked at him like some kind of animal in a zoo. But he couldn't even keep his eyes open much less move the rest of his body or call out to all the people just outside the bathroom. He just stared at Eva for as long as he could stay awake, confusion rippling through his body until he finally collapsed. And the last thing he saw was her nodding in approval as she stood up.
“Acquisition successful. The target is waiting in the testing chambers and the antidote has been administered. According to our agent the human should regain consciousness within several Earth minutes. What is your command my Queen?”
“Send down the first interrogator and prepare the viewing stations. I should like to oversee the experiment personally.”
“At you command my Queen. The interrogator has been briefed on the matter of the human's acquisition. They will be prepared for any resistance or adverse side effects. Security has been notified as well should the subject prove too unruly to properly—”
“That won't be necessary.”
“M-My Queen?”
“Security won't be necessary. Additional variables will only taint the information I seek and the presence of security may very well cause the unruliness we wish to avoid. Send them away if they've already arrived. Otherwise give the order to stand down. Our interrogator will suffice.”
“At your command my Queen.”
“And do not tell the interrogator they will be supervised. I wish to survey the experiment as it would be conducted without any outside forces.”
“At your command my Queen.”
Opening his eyes before his mind was entirely awake Enzo sucked in a ragged breath like he hadn't breathed in hours. Yet as he stared up at the smooth, unfamiliar metal ceiling high above him he didn't feel any sort of panic or fear. Despite slowly coming to the realization that he wasn't back at the penthouse suite where he should've been he felt far, far more calm than he should've. He even understood that he should've been worried but that didn't quite matter. At least not as he lay there on something much, much softer than the bluish metal overhead.
And he continued to stare up at the ceiling, or whatever it was, for quite a while as his mind slowly shook off the grogginess that'd knocked him out cold. He thought of Eva and wondered what on earth she'd done to him but all the fear he should've felt didn't seem to arrive. Instead he was just... warily curious about what was going on. Especially as his senses returned and he didn't feel any pain or even any discomfort. Just the pleasant softness of whatever he was laying on alongside the comfortably warm temperature of the room around him. Not quite hot, not quite cold it was almost the ideal temperature with only a faint bit of heat coursing through it. Like someone had turned the heater on and he was standing near a vent. And the whole place smelled of... something he couldn't quite figure out but not anything he didn't like. It reminded him of the ocean but also the Coppo del Morto forest he used to spend his time in as a child.
Stirred by that faint sense of nostalgia as much as an ever growing curiosity he let out a quite groan before sucking in another breath and pushing himself upright. It felt for all the world like he'd just woken up from a long sleep after being deathly ill for days or even weeks on end. Hus body didn't feel quite like his own even as he looked down at himself but that feeling was fading even before he actually looked at the room around him. And he forgot all about it as soon as he finally examined his surroundings.
“Where the hell am I?”
Everything from the décor to the walls to the finest details looked like he'd walked right into one of those old science fiction movies from the 1960s. Everything perfectly matched that retro futurist style to such an insane degree it was almost hard to believe. And even harder to realize he was sitting in some kind of bedroom, on some kind of bed. It was such an odd place to find himself even the most normal things like a dresser or end table ot lamp felt alien and out of place. Even though he was the one out of place. Out of place and yet right at home.
After growing up religiously watching old sci fi movies absolutely flooded with that look and reading countless more comics or even just novels with that exact style Enzo felt oddly at home. Part of him was definitely starting to worry about where he was, what Eva had done to him, and what could happen next. But those concerns were just far enough down to leave him mostly awestruck by his surroundings and wondering if he was on the most elaborate and well made set he'd ever seen. Although that didn't really answer any of his other questions.
They continue to simmer under the surface while he spent almost a minute walking the length of the rather expansive room taking in all the sights. Even trying to open the windows behind and flanking the bed, they trying the door that probably would've taken him to a bathroom. Sadly he didn't get to see what what looked like as the door remained firmly shut. In fact it didn't even move when he pulled and twisted the handle. Almost like it wasn't even really a door but just a bit of set dressing gussied up to give the illusion...
And the moment that thought crossed his mind some of the charm of his surroundings faded and Enzo started to worry just a little bit more. Not quite enough to panic but the wool over his eyes was definitely slipping. Or maybe the effects of whatever had knocked him out were finally wearing off after he moved around a bit.
Whatever the reason he made a beeline for the other door, one that probably would've led into some sort of hallway in a normal house. Instead it was just as fake as the previous. The doorknob barely even turned as he tried to twist it and the rest of the 'door' was completely immobile no matter how hard he tried to pull it. And when he finally let go Enzo was starting to feel the first pangs of outright panic creeping through his body. The hairs on the back of his neck rose and sweat coated his palms as he did his best to stay calm while looking around the rest of the room. That feeling of nostalgia was almost entirely gone as he tried to find a way out. Tried to think of anything that could help him. He even approached the bed he'd woken up on and looked underneath it as if there'd just be a convenient trap door or something hidden away. But of course it was just more of that cool, silvery blue metal that seemed to make up the walls, floor, and ceiling.
Rising to his feet and trying to collect his breathing Enzo continued to look around the room, even pacing back and forth as he told himself, “There's gotta be a way out of here... there's gotta be a way out of here! I just have to find it!”
Unfortunately for all his conviction actually finding that way out was nothing short of impossible as he started moving the furniture around. But there were no seams or rivets or anything else to possibly chip away at. Excluding the fake doors and almost certainly the walls blended perfectly into the ceiling and floor without so much as a single line. He didn't even know how that was possible but he certainly didn't find an answer as he pushed against the firm, unyielding metal in every spot he could think of like it was a normal room. But nothing gave way in the slightest. It just felt like he was pushing against solid metal everywhere he tried. Including the doors and windows. Enzo didn't know how he could possibly get out and he didn't have the faintest idea how he'd gotten in. Much less how Eva was involved with his apparent kidnapping.
“There's gotta be a way out of here!” He repeated, his voice echoing just the tiniest bit throughout the room as he spun around trying to think of something. “There's gotta be a way out of here! There's gotta be a way out of here! There's—”
“You're free to return to your planet at any moment.” An almost ethereal voice said, “But we hope you will stay through at least our initial experiments.”
All at once terrified and entranced by that strangely inhuman voice Enzo realized with a little jolt that it was coming from behind him. That his back was to the 'door' that should've led to a hallway beyond the bedroom he'd been left in. He didn't want to turn around and see what'd just addressed him and yet at the same time he knew he couldn't possibly resist. It was such a certainty he didn't even really try to fight that urge. He just let out a nervous little gasp as his head slowly turned while the rest of his body tightened. And as soon as he actually laid eyes on what was standing behind him he couldn't help but cry out in shock.
“Dio mio!”
Standing in an opening cut so smoothly into the walls it looked like it'd always been there was a near eight foot tall creature shaped worryingly like a human. It stood on two long, thick legs with exactly the same sort of hips and curves as a person and yet it's skin was a vibrant shade of purple glittering like a sandy beach bathed in sunlight. And in place of a single pair of arms at it's shoulders there were two sets just above and below one another, the second about level with the smooth mounds that almost looked like breasts. It even had the same sort of neck and face as a human might, but with countless little and not so little things making it look even more alien.
Like the utter lack of a nose in the center of it's face but a slight... curve as if to mimic one. Or like some hazy silhouette of a human seen in profile. Of course that was nothing compared to it's large black eyes lacking any sort of pupil or iris or anything but a vast field of inky blackness as terrifying as it was striking. So striking Enzo barely even noticed the countless tendrils emerging from it's scalp to cascading down the back of it's head and across it's shoulders. Like hair that'd been swept back and tucked behind ears it didn't seem to have. But each one looked as thick as his smallest finger and many were adorned with little rings of burnished metal or other, similar jewelry. The closest thing to clothes the alien was wearing as it stood naked before him.
“There's nothing to fear,” It said in a soothing tone that nonetheless shook him to his core as it seemed to make the very air around him hum in the most peculiar way, “We mean you no harm and seek no conflict. Our mission is one of knowledge and discovery, not bloodshed. We only hope to—”
“Holy shit, you're a goddamn alien!” Enzo interrupted, unable to hold himself back.
The creature's eyes narrowed ever so slightly as it's mouth sat open for just a moment before closing again. Though it lacked eyebrows he could see the muscles in it's face reacting as if it were arching an eyebrow at him. In much the same way he could see confusion rippling through the inky void that made up it's eyes. Maybe it was the awe and excitement in his voice or the smile instinctively spreading across his face as he looked the alien up and down but it seemed nothing short of completely caught off guard by his response. Like he'd interrupted a well rehearsed performance and it was struggling to find it's footing again.
But Enzo didn't really care about it's confusion. Couldn't really care. He was too busy taking a tentative step forward and marveling at the entity standing before him. Looming tall over him in the much the same way he often loomed over everyone else he met. When he took another step the creature's 'eyebrows' rose even higher and it seemed to find it's voice once more.
“You are not afraid of my visage?” It asked. “Frightened by your abduction and fearful of your life in the face of the great unknown?”
“I-I mean... I know I should be... but... you're an alien! A real alien! I always knew aliens were real but I never knew they were real!” Moving in close enough to touch the alien's faintly glistening skin yet momentarily resisting the urge Enzo stared up at it for a moment before a little flash of realization struck him like a bolt of lightning, “Wait, does that mean—is Eva an alien too?!”
Once more met with a confused silence the alien watched him what he could only describe as an impressed yet confused look until it spoke again, “Yes, the woman you knew as Eva operated as an agent of ours. She was tasked with monitoring in the event our Queen saw fit to capture you—”
“Why didn't she just ask?”
Another, even longer silence stretched between them as the alien slowly interlocked the fingers of all four hands, “What?”
“Why didn't she just ask?” Enzo repeated, smiling up at the creature with unabashed amazement, “She could've just asked me to come up to her mother ship—or wherever we are. I would've said yes in a heartbeat! At least once I knew she wasn't just crazy or anything!”
“That... was not a consideration we gave any credence to... we did not expect such an enthusiastic response to your abduction... no other human has responded in a similar manner.”
“How many other people have you abducted?! Are you the aliens people are always seeing in New Mexico?! Are you involved with Area 51?! Is this some government thing?! Oh man, am I being picked for some super secret intergalactic mission?!” Practically shaking with excitement Enzo couldn't stop himself, “Oh this is so cool! Does all your technology look this?! Why do you keep saying 'we', are you some kind of hive mind?! You mentioned a Queen, is that who I'm talking to right now?! Am I supposed to bow or something?!”
He rattled off a few more questions but the alien remained silent throughout his babbling. Though by the end it was watching him with an entirely new expression. What seemed like a mixture of amusement and something else he couldn't quite guess. But even so it's lips were curled into a slight but unmistakable smile as it watched and waited for him to finish, only speaking after he was out of breath and physically incapable of continuing.
“Our interest in your planet and your species only began the equivalent of four Earth years ago. We have no involvement with your governments and we are not a hive mind. You speak to me and me alone.” It looked around the room for a moment before continuing, “And we created this space for the purpose of comfort after you told Eva of your love of... I believe she called it retrofuturism. Our Queen thought it might be a more reassuring sight than an entirely unfamiliar setting. It would seem her theories remain as true as ever.”
“Wow... you did all this for me?” Enzo did a little spin as he looked around the room before finally staring up at the alien before him again, “Why? If you're not part of the government or anything why'd you bother? You didn't go through all that effort just to dissect me! R-Right?”
“There's nothing to fear,” The alien repeated, this time with hints of amusement in it's voice, “We mean you no harm and seek no conflict. Our mission is one of knowledge and discovery, not bloodshed. We only hope to learn what cannot be gleaned through observation alone. In this instance human sex and sexuality is our subject of intrigue.”
With an approving nod and the faintest of smiles Queen Ta'thura took her seat in the center of the observation deck. Just in time for the human they'd abducted to reply, “A-Are... are you serious? That's why you kidnapped me?”
But there was no disappointment in his voice nor in his body language. Only surprise and a great deal of confusion. She could see it in his soft brown eyes as surely as it spread across his face. And it only amused her all the more. Every other species they'd studied had reacted in a similar fashion but not one had refused the offer once made. Though some had certainly been more reticent than others. But she had no cause to worry about their latest subject.
Instead, as he listened to Interrogator Va'kivlis explain the purpose of their grand mission and the lofty goals they hoped to achieve, Queen Ta'thura studied the subject. Many of the specimens they'd collected across the universe were handsome by the standard of their species and many more were even handsome by the standard of her own species. The human they'd brought aboard their ship was among those comfortably within the latter. So much so Interrogator Va'kivlis surely considered herself lucky to be have been chosen for her role. And many of her peers were undoubtedly jealous as they studied other species with countless interrogation rooms.
It was an amusing thought but not one Queen Ta'thura lingered on for long. Instead she adopted a more contemplative position while examining the human. Tall by the average of his species and well built by those same metrics he was exactly the sort of specimen they liked to study most. Perhaps not a paragon of his species in every genetic fashion but unquestionably attractive to many of his species. Enough to nearly overshadow countless other candidates well before matters of personal bias and curiosity further weighted the scales in his favor. Though even if she'd been called to defend her choice to the High Council or anyone else Queen Ta'thura would've had little trouble doing so. Even ignoring the breadth of his shoulders and strength of his muscles the untamed exuberance he'd displayed when dealing with their agent was more than enough to excite curiosity.
Indeed she'd been called back from her mission more times than many knew solely to avoid compromising the eventual study! Though they knew little of Human mating rituals or indeed Human sexuality it was abundantly clear the one they'd captured was quite an impressive example of both despite his fidelity to the agent they'd set to keep track of him. And in spite of that agent being wholly forbidden from indulging any manner of carnal gratification before the experiments were fully authorized. Which only intrigued them all the more. Doubly so as Queen Ta'thura finally looked upon the Human in person, or as close as she would allow herself to get, and marveled at the restraint their agent had shown during her missions. Watching a smile dawn upon his face as Interrogator Va'kivlis continued to explain the scientific nature of their endeavor was far more of a treat than she expected for so simple a reaction. To say nothing of the subtle ways his posture changed and his body reacted to what would undoubtedly be an enjoyable experience for him.
“If you have any objections you need only voice them. We will send you back to your planet without argument or conflict. Our studies rely on a willing participation of all subjects and—”
“Are you one of the subjects?” He asked, “Or I guess... are you the one 'conducting the study'?”
His words were shrouded in emotions Queen Ta'thura didn't quite know but the expression upon his face answered any questions she might've had. And of course that hopefulness certainly left Interrogator Va'kivlis in a certain state, “Yes, that was the intention. But should you wish to have another take my place that can be arranged. Including another Human should you wish to remain with your own species.”
“So if I asked for Eva, or whatever her real name is, she would be my partner?”
“Yes.” There was a note of disappointment in Interrogator Va'kivlis' voice but she did not argue nor attempt to sway him, much to Queen Ta'thura's approval, “Though she cannot remain in the form you're most familiar with. She would need to return to her natural appearance, one similar to my own. Before any studies could be conducted.”
Nodding along with those words the Human seemed to consider his options for a moment while Queen Ta'thura considered him. Regardless of who he chose she was eager to see how he conducted himself, perhaps more eager than she should've been. But with no one else present to witness her breach in protocol and objectivity she had little to worry about/ Save of course something going terribly wrong with the experiment. But she already knew Humans were compatible with their own biology and there were few chances of any additional factors stopping them.
“What about the Queen you mentioned before?” He asked, catching Queen Ta'thura entirely by surprise and leaving Interrogator Va'kivlis equally stunned, “Could I request her if I wanted?”
His words were met with a lengthy pause as both Queen and Interrogator considered his question. In truth there was no reason to say no to such a request and Queen Ta'thura certainly wouldn't have objected if pressed. But with the High Council eternally monitoring their every move for any signs of a mistake it would be rather foolhardy. Not enough to discredit the idea entirely but certainly enough to leave them both conflicted. She could all but sense that uncertainty within Interrogator Va'kivlis well before she actually spoke again.
“If that is your request I will honor it. Our Queen would be honored to take part in the experiment.”
Queen Ta'thura stiffened as heat blossomed within her body. One set of hands furtively clenched the seat beneath her while the others remained interlocked for want of something far better to do as the Human said, “Wow... you weren't kidding about taking it all seriously! I can't imagine a Queen back on Earth doing anything like that!”
“We treat every mission with the utmost importance. Our Queen would not go against it no matter her personal feelings.”
“I see... well I was only joking anyways, I don't expect your Queen to actually come down here and... do whatever it is we're about to do.” The human laughed, “And I'm sure you don't have to find anyone else... you're already more beautiful than any alien I could've imagined!”
His words were spoken in earnest and without any of the seductive qualities one might've expected and yet Queen Ta'thura still felt a pang of jealousy. In much the same way Interrogator Va'kivlis seemed to feel a pang of excitement as her body tensed just the slightest bit. But the small nod she gave him remained composed and in control even if the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her.
“Very well. Would you prefer more time to adjust before we begin? If you need sustenance or hydration we can provide both in ample amounts. All sourced from your home planet of course.”
“I'm not sure filling up before... whatever you want to do is a good idea.” He chuckled, “How about we just get the ball rolling and see what happens? I'm still not totally sure what you expect from me outside the broad strokes.”
Finally letting her second set of hands break away from each other Queen Ta'thura laid them upon her stomach with a soft shiver, her eyes fixed to the pair before her. Interrogator Va'kivlis nodded at his words and motions to the doorway she'd entered through. It sealed shut in a shimmer of living, liquid metal and for a moment the Human they'd abducted was too distracted to notice anything else. He even took a few steps closer to the smooth, featureless wall that used to be an entryway, gasping in delight and smiling with unabashed giddiness. Though when he looked to the entity beside him his expression almost immediately faltered. Just as hers changed too, softening from the austere look she'd once held as her own excitement was finally allowed to shine through even the slightest bit/ An excitement Queen Ta'thura shared while her own body reacted in exactly the same way as Interrogator Va'kivlis'. Though she had only herself for company.
Shimmering even more as she smiled down at him Va'kivlis' skin practically glowed in the warm light bathing the entire room. Yet her footsteps didn't leave any trace of liquid behind while she walked towards the bed. No matter how much her skin seemed to glisten and shine. Enzo even looked down at the floor beneath his feet just to make sure, though he couldn't really say why he cared. Especially as she turned around to face him once more. Instantly forgetting all about that strange little quirk the moment he laid eyes on her body again Enzo couldn't help but take a few clumsy steps closer before he let out a surprised gasp.
“Wow...”
The mysterious sheen covering her body seemed to shift and glide across her skin like water cascading down her body in the shower. But instead of washing away soap or dirt or anything else it revealed all the features that'd once been entirely featureless. The plump, hairless contours of her sex just barely visible between her legs. The amazingly large outline of her dark purple areola and already stiffening nipples. Even the curve of her breasts and hips seemed to grow while he stared at her, though it was far less noticeable than everything else she revealed. So much so he wasn't even sure it was really happening. And he didn't have much time to care as she sat down on the edge of the bed before leaning back and quietly spreading her legs. All the while her face remained almost totally expressionless yet so full of unspoken desires he could practically read her mind.
Another gasp tumbled out of his mouth before he could stop himself. Watching the incredibly soft looking curves of her sex slowly open like the petals of a flower to reveal the beautifully pale purple of her inner folds was incredible. Enough to send a jolt of adrenaline lancing through his body. His head was spinning faster than ever as he took another couple of steps closer. And by the time he was just shy of standing between her legs Enzo was genuinely wondering if he was dreaming.
“So do I just... start?” He finally asked, fumbling with his swim trunk and feeling oddly ridiculous as he stood there wearing just a pair of swim trunks, “I've never done anything like this before—I-I mean I've had sex before but I've never had sex with a beautiful alien woman before... especially not for scientific research or experimentation or whatever...”
“Yes.” Va'kivlis remarked, “Our purpose is to study human sex and sexuality. You need only do whatever comes naturally and we will—”
Before she could finish Enzo did what came naturally and sank to his knees, gently laying his hands on her thighs. But he didn't have time to marvel at how indescribably soft her skin felt, without the slightest hint of wetness despite the way it glistened, he was too busy leaning forward. Too busy taking a ragged little breath and inhaling the sweet smell of her arousal as he watched beads of faintly bluish arousal trickle down her lips. Va'kivlis froze as if she'd been stunned only to stiffen as his lips made contact with her sex. She didn't moan in surprise or tell him to stop or anything else but he could feel her body reacting to the soft kiss he planted on her folds. And that was more than enough to make him pull away for just a second before leaning back in to kiss another part of her. To taste another droplet of her sweetness. Though to describe her arousal as sweet felt almost insulting after just those two moments. It was unlike anything he'd ever experienced and so strangely alluring it almost felt like he'd been drugged as he kissed her again.
As far as he could tell while kissing all along her lips and slowly teasing her inner most folds Va'kivlis didn't have anything like a clit. Or at least nothing that was immediately obvious. Which actually left him at a bit of a loss while he worked his way up to the crest of her sex. But rather than floundering around in confusion or ruining the mood he was trying to cultivate by asking about her biology he took another chance and let his tongue glide across her lips. Trailing all the way down to her quivering entrance before rising back up again after a moment he pushed a little deeper between her plump outer lips and made sure to lavish every last centimeter he could reach with all the attention he could. Just like he'd done with countless Human women throughout his life.
Though unlike many, if not all, of those women Va'kivlis was almost entirely silent. He could just barely hear her ever so slightly labored breathing between the soft sounds of his ministrations but she didn't moan or gasp or call out to him. If not for her marginally heavier breathing and the ever growing deluge of warmth trickling from her sex he wouldn't have even known how she felt!
Luckily even those small little reactions were enough to keep him going. To keep him on the right track as he pressed his hands a bit more firmly against her legs, spreading them even further apart while he moved his tongue even faster. His only reward was even more sweetness to lap up like an addict trying to score their next fix. But despite how intoxicating her arousal was he never lost sight of his main focus or indeed the experiment... research... thing he was engaging in. She wanted to see how he had sex and if he was gonna represent humanity he was gonna do a damn good job.
Sliding his hands under her legs and slowly wrapping them around her thigh Enzo moved even faster as he pressed himself even tighter against her. His lips returned to her sex at the same moment his tongue finally slipped inside her pussy and while he didn't really know what to do next he never once stayed idle. Instead he teased and caressed as much of her inner walls as he could reach. Even as they contracted around him with a surprising amount of force. Enough to leave him a little worried about the prospect of putting anything else inside her. But of course he set those concerns aside and focused everything he had on reacting to her spasmodic convulsions. The exterior of her body might've been all but entirely static save for her breathing but the inside of her pussy was the exact opposite. Trembling and quivering in ways he'd never felt with a Human women her body was amazingly unpredictable at every turn. So much so he could barely keep up!
At times it almost felt like he was playing catch up as he responded a split second after a feverishly powerful contraction. As he lapped up a fresh deluge of arousal and did his best to kiss her plump lips with all the passion he could muster. As he pressed himself as close as could be against her pussy while clinging to her legs so fiercely he worried he might hurt her. But she never once gave him any indication at all she was in pain.
Instead he could hear her breathing grow ever more labored while he worked and feel her eyes watching him as he kissed and teased her pussy. When he actually looked up to meet that unblinking gaze her found her face twisted into a look of pure ecstasy as all four of her hands were curled into fists against the bed. Had he been looking at a Human women her expression would've been so unbelievably passive he would've thought he was doing something wrong. But compared to the stoicism he'd seen before the difference was night and day. All the subtle little twitches of her muscles across her face betrayed how she was feeling more than anything else.
Except the warmth he was frantically gulping down of course. Enzo couldn't possibly keep up with the flood coming his way and before long he didn't even try. He just continued to dart about and tease as much of her sex as he could as fast as he possibly could while she endlessly outpaced him. Yet no matter how much he seemed to lag behind Va'kivlis never gave any sign that she was dissatisfied with his efforts. Or that he wasn't participating in the experiment the way she wanted. That was easily his biggest concern and as long as she continued to stay quiet about that he continued his work. Though he did pull his tongue out of her sex at a certain point as a particularly overwhelming surge of warmth cascaded into his mouth. But he didn't pull away entirely even as he gulped down a mouthful of Va'kivlis' arousal.
The thought never so much as crossed his mind and he returned to her sex with an ever greater passion as soon as he was able. But rather than simply plunging back into her depths he returned to caressing her wonderfully plump lips for a few moments. It was hard to really say what she liked better and there was almost no chance she'd actually explain it to him so Enzo was flying a lot more blind than he preferred. But in a strange way that made it all the more fun! Just as looking up at the beautiful alien woman watching him so intently never failed to send a jolt of adrenaline lancing through him. Like he was constantly reminding himself he really was going down on an eight foot tall, four armed alien goddess. And when he closed his eyes to focus more intensely on the sensations of her body, his tongue gliding back into her sex, the image of her staring at him was burned into his brain more clearly than anything he'd ever seen. So clearly he didn't even need to open his eyes, though if he had he might have caught a glimpse of her face changing even more.
Second only to pleasure jealousy swirled through Queen Ta'thura's body as she watched the Human pleasure her Interrogator. But even more than that as she watched Interrogator Va'kivlis react so viscerally and with such overwhelming passion. It'd been a long time she last witnessed a member of her species in such a state of disarray. Indeed she almost gasped as she watched her incredibly fortunate counterpart's lips part a little more and her eyes widen just a touch further. To say nothing of the tightness in her body and the river of fluids seeping from between her widely spread legs. Near entirely unaware of her own body Queen Ta'thura watched her interrogator almost as closely as the Human creating such violent reactions. She had no awareness of her hands idly roaming her contours nor the sheen that'd come over her radiant pink skin. Though even as distracted as she was she could feel those parts of herself normally hidden be revealed in the throes of her arousal.
While the Human kneeling between Interrogator Va'kivlis' legs was far from the first subject to take such a route he was the first Queen Ta'thura had ever witnessed. And given the ferocity of her counterpart's reaction it was clearly the first time she'd ever experienced it herself. Particularity;y from a specimen so naturally appealing to their species. Which only fueled the Queen's jealous all the more as her hands roamed her body unbidden yet very much welcomed. Before long her fingers were idly, yet no so idly, trailing across her legs as she unwittingly spread them further and further apart. As if to match what her counterpart was enjoying while her eyes instinctively fixated on the Human causing them both to have such animalistic responses.
But while one pair of hands moved along the inner stretches of her legs in a constant bid to reach her sex only to drift away the other remained far above. Although they played the same games as the ones below, 'purposelessly' drifting across and around her breasts while her breathing slowly grew more labored by the moment. It may have been her intention to supervise the experiment in the hopes of such feeling arising but actually experiencing them was an entirely different matter. As was the remarkable speed of them consuming her body and dominating her senses.
She watched the muscles of his jaw tighten and shift while he worked. Witnessed the almost indecent pleasure of Va'kivlis reacting to his efforts. And very knowingly tormented herself with only a fraction of the pleasure her counterpart was experiencing. All while replaying the words he'd spoke earlier within the depths of her mind.
“What about the Queen you mentioned before? Could I request her if I wanted?
It was truly impossible not to lament what could've been as she thought of those words and watched her counterpart revel in the experiment she conducted. In the record keeping, fact finding mission so many others had eagerly attempted to participate in before her. Queen Ta'thura had never superseded an Interrogator before but the longer she watched that Human work the more easily she considered breaking that unofficial rule. Especially when he pulled away to breathe more deeply and he fixed her with exactly the sort of smile her agent had described. A look of pure, unabashed delight so earnestly sincere it was nothing short of unfathomable to her. Or indeed most of her species. Yet as was often the case that only enhanced the allure. Much like the way he lunged back in again the moment he was finished recuperating and drinking her arousal. There was an intensity to how he moved. An uninhibited passion all at once intimate and emotional. Like the Interrogator was the only entity in all the universe while he remained with her.
Staring deep into her eyes as he trailed across her sex Enzo reveled in how dramatically her face had changed. And how he could finally see the barest hints of her expression reacting to his efforts. It remained so incredibly subtle he was sure he missed as much as he saw but that didn't matter, what he did get to see was absolutely incredible. His tongue was moving faster than ever before as it danced across his sex and every time he glided back inside her he was nothing short of wild in his ministrations. Almost wild enough to keep up with her body at times, though he could never hope to match the strength of her contractions.
Much less keep up with the flood of arousal gushing from her sex with every passing moment. Nearly every quiver and spasm seemed to unleash even more arousal and he'd all but given up on keeping pace with her deluge. Much of his body was glistening with rivulets of her warmth and the bed beneath her had been almost entirely drenched with that inhuman flood. The best he could do was drink as much as he could manage and let the rest cascade where it might.
For minutes on end he remained between her legs, marveling at the sweetness of her arousal as surely as he marveled at the absurdity of what he was doing. Part of him struggled to fully believe he was really going down on an alien but the rest was so long in the thrill of it all he didn't have time to wonder or worry. At a certain point his only goal was making her react more and more like a Human woman, as close to a Human woman as he could. After seeing her stay so composed and in control for as long as she did Enzo could think of nothing better than hearing her moan. Or seeing her eyes roll back in her head. He'd always loved watching that happen with any woman he was with but Va'kivlis was an entirely different matter.
All but craving that reaction more than his next breath he smiled at her and looked deep into her eyes every chance he could. He watched her face closely and stared deep into her soul as he moved his tongue with feverish abandon. And he never relented for a single moment. Not even to catch his breath or take a second off his endless frenzy.
Yet for all his single minded efforts Enzo just couldn't seem to overcome whatever was holding her back. If she was even holding back at all. He couldn't say for certain he hadn't already made her cum and she was simply too different from Humans to reveal it. But in a moment of stubbornness he refused to accept that as his tongue darted across her lips and plunged back into her sex with all the passion he had. Without any rhyme or reason behind his assumptions he pushed deep into her pussy and ravished her inner walls as fiendishly as he could manage. Even pulling one of his hands away from her thigh to gently press a finger into her pussy and start caressing her inner walls even more passionately, all while his tongue continued to roam across her
And for just a moment it seemed like he might be making progress. Like he'd finally accomplished what was starting to feel impossible. Her body contracted more feverishly than ever around him and a truly incredible deluge of warmth gushed from her sex. Yet her face remained unchanged and no part of her body was any different than it'd been before. Even the labored breathing that'd revealed her rising pleasure remained strangely steady. Though something in her eyes betrayed the reaction he'd been hoping for. As did her voice when she spoke a moment later.
“Though I would not wish to sully the experiment,” She said in a voice that might as well have been a howl of pleasure compared to her earlier tone, “I must ask, is this how all Humans conduct their sexual activities?”
Finally pulling away, though not withdrawing his finger nor stopping it's constant movement, Enzo licked his lips and chuckled, “I can't speak for my entire species, but this is how I conduct all my sexual activities. I like to make sure my partner is enjoying themselves and if I can I like to make them cum at least once before we really get started. Maybe twice if I can manage it!”
Queen Ta'thura couldn't help but tense at those words as the smallest of shudders rolled through her body. After absolutely tormenting herself the entire time she watched a Human torment her Interrogator she was almost as lost as Va'kivlis. Though she had no tongue to pleasure her sex nor any remarkably attractive alien to lend their aid simply watching another enjoy such incredible things had been absolutely ruinous in the sweetest of ways. But as the Human dove back between her counterpart's legs and she watched Va'kivlis' face betray her surprise and delight the Queen couldn't restrain herself for another moment. As undignified as it was she pressed two fingers inside herself without a second thought and near instantly drenched the floor between her feet as she did. The heady smell of arousal filled the observation room a moment later and she breathed in her own scent as surely as that handsome alien breathed in her counterpart's.
Her other hands drifted across her breasts at the same time, cupping and squeezing her sensitive curves and idly playing with every feature in ways only she could knew. Just as the fingers inside her sex found all the most tender reaches she'd spent lifetimes discovering of her own accord. Though it almost seemed like she needn't have bothered.
At least not as she watched the Human's free hand slide across her counterpart's body to find her breasts and caress them just as Queen Ta'thura was caressing her own. His movements weren't likely identical but when she was already so overcome by the basest urges within herself there was little room for coherent thought nor conscious understanding. In the state of mind she'd been reduced to his fingers were gliding across her breasts and teasing her most sensitive areas just as she'd always done to herself and that alone was enough. Enough to send even more pleasure crashing through her and enough to leave the Queen positively ravished by her own uncontrollable lust.
Even if she couldn't possibly match the wanton perversity that was Va'kivlis all but losing her very sanity with every passing moment. Slight tremors were running through her body and even making her legs tremble, her thighs twitching and sliding inwards as if she meant to close them around the Human responsible for her anguish. Her eyes were all but screaming while her mouth hung open in a long, silent cry. There was no telling how much further she might sink but Queen Ta'thura could only hope she would witness every last moment of the debauchery. She watched with bated breath and now awareness at all of how similar she looked to her counterpart. Or even that she was quite unwittingly mirroring both the Human making Va'kivlis react so dramatically and her Interrogator as she struggled to match them both. And pined all the more to be in her counterpart's place.
All but sensing how much weaker his lover was getting Enzo couldn't help but press further. He lightly teased her nipples between his fingers and continued his wild movements across and within her pussy in a truly uncontrollable barrage. He could just barely reach her breasts while she was stretched out across the bed and at times he was outright forced to pull away. Like when her head fell back against the sheets as she finally broke the stare she'd been giving him since he started.
Instantly assuming that was a sign she couldn't last much longer and more invested in bringing her to ecstasy than he'd ever been with another woman Enzo was beside himself with delight. His smile nearly reached his ears and a wild shudder rolled through his body. One almost perfectly mirrored in Va'kivlis'. Though at a far more subtle scale. But even just feeling another tremor rippling through her as he worked excited him to no end. And on a whim he pushed a second finger into her sex, quietly hoping she wouldn't object and practically cheering when he was rewarded with the softest, most easily missed gasps. He barely even heard her let out that pent up breath amidst all the other sounds filling the air but somehow it managed to pierce the increasingly messy cacophony that was his constant lapping at her sex. The constant movement of his fingers against her inner walls and the absolute deluge of warmth gushing from her pussy with every moment he continued. It was one of the most exciting sounds he'd ever heard in his life.
But rather than letting that distract him Enzo immediately pressed his advantage. Lunging in and kissing all across her sex he moved his fingers faster than ever, curling them back towards his palm like he would with any Human women. And when that didn't seem to have the effect he wanted he took a different tact. One that sent his fingers stretching outward and pushing against her madly quivering walls as he slowly pumped them in and out of her sex. Not fast enough to outstrip the movement of his tongue and not slow enough to be outshined either. He struck an easy balance between the two while he played with her breasts at a similar rhythm. Overwhelming her with pleasure and finally pushing her over the edge was the only thing he could think about.
Little did he realize his companion wasn't the only one being pushed to the edge of the sanity. Doing everything in her power to match the frenzy below Queen Ta'thura knew she wouldn't be able to lose herself at the same moment as her Interrogator. Much as she wanted to and no matter how desperately she tried she couldn't begin to approach the same fevered pitch as the Human tormenting her so perfectly. Or perhaps more accurately, she couldn't hope to accomplish what he did by herself. No matter how well she matched his movements or kept pace with his passions.
She could only hope for a fraction of that pleasure and the tiniest shreds of what her counterpart was enjoying as her body subtly stiffened and her eyes stared up at the ceiling. Queen Ta'thura had never felt such joy and such jealousy in the same moment. Had never been so elated for a subject yet so bitterly envious of their pleasure with every passing breath.
Enzo felt his lover tense in a way even he could understand. Felt her inner walls clench around his fingers and heard her suck in a breath like it would be her last. And when she didn't release it again he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he'd finally succeeded after an eternity of trying. Which only left him trying that much harder as he pressed his advantage and went absolutely wild for as long as he could possibly manage. Moving like never before and sinking down into a state of animalistic fervor he had never known he was like a man possessed. His tongue and fingers moved without any conscious thought from his mind as all the focus left within his brain centered entirely on feeling her climax. On experiencing every last facet of her ecstasy with all of his being. Every tremble of her inner walls or deluge of arousal gushing from her sex sent his heart fluttering and adrenaline pumping through his entire body.
No matter how small or subdued anything and everything she did felt absolutely incredible as he tried to send her careening over the edge. And for what felt like hours and hours straight he kept at it with all of his waning strength. At times it almost seemed like he wouldn't be able to manage it as she remained almost stubbornly steadfast despite how her body reacted. As if she was actively trying to resist his efforts for as long as she could. And with her face hidden as her head rested against the bed Enzo didn't know what was happening or how close he really was. He could only guess and hope and wait to see if he might truly lose the exhilarating battle of wills he'd found himself in.
But just as he was beginning to seriously doubt if he could succeed, just as his jaw was beginning to hurt and his fingers starting to cramp within her impossibly tight sex, Va'kivlis lifted her head. His eyes met hers and though he couldn't speak he almost wanted to say something. What he might've said Enzo didn't know. But before he could even consider it she spoke first, her voice almost Human in the emotion of every syllable.
“Oh... that feels exceedingly good...”
A moment later her head collapsed against the bed and her vice like grip on the sheets softened. She wrapped two hands around his arm and the other two found their way to his head. Holding on so much more gently than he might've expected she sucked in another breath before letting it out in a long, shuddering gasp only barely different from the exhale she'd released when she spoke. The once incredible flood of arousal seeping out of her pussy came to a sudden stop and her inner walls seemed to contract in one final, rigid burst. They clamped down around his fingers so tightly it was actually the tiniest bit painful. And the rest of her body was almost unnaturally still for an unnaturally long time while he could only kneel there in disbelief.
Then, just as suddenly as it'd started, her pleasure came to an end. Her body relaxed and there was no hint of anything but what'd been there before they started. When she'd first sat down and spread her legs for him. She even lifted her head and revealed the same stoic expression as she said, “That was an exemplary feeling. Thank you.”
“Y-You're welcome...” Enzo replied, finally withdrawing his fingers and pulling his other hand away from her chest. He even sat up a bit straighter as he said, “You're not just humoring me are you?”
“No, I would not lie about such a thing during our research and experimentation. You performed admirably and I experienced a great deal of pleasure. Far more than with previous subjects. Consider yourself remarkable.”
For want of another way to react Enzo laughed at those words and rose to his feet, idly rubbing his sore knees while he said, “Well I won't argue with how you felt, I'm just used to a bit more of a reaction from the women I'm with. Especially if they're gonna call me things like 'remarkable' or tell me I gave them an exemplary feeling.”
“Human women are more animated than I was?” Va'kivlis asked, a note of surprise in her voice, “How interesting...”
“Yeah they're a lot more animated than you. N-Not that I'm complaining! I just wasn't expecting it to be that different... but then again you are an alien so I don't know why I was expecting much of anything in the first place...”
Rising to her feet as he spoke Va'kivlis towered over him once again as she said, “Your theory was proven incorrect but the results were a success. Now it's time for the next—M-My Queen?!”
Genuine surprise filled her voice as she looked past Enzo with the most expressive reaction he'd seen from. So of course he spun around to see the mysterious Queen, his jaw dropping the instant he laid eyes on her. Though nearly identical to Va'kivlis save her pink skin and the more ornate jewelry on her tendrils it was how she appeared that surprised him. The simple fact that he could already see both her sex and her breasts as she stood in the doorway with a stoic expression and a fire in her inky black eyes.
“Now it's time for the next phase of the research.” She said in a voice tinged with an excitement greater than anything Enzo had ever felt, yet still somehow remarkably stoic, “We have countless more experiments to conduct!”
