Chapter 18

“Mnghh...” Someone groaned next to Sarah in the darkness.

“Oh, your partner seems to be finally sobering up as well,” The Queen mused. More sections of the fleshy wall began to glow, and Sarah could now see the entirety of the chamber, or as much as possible given her limited range of movement. Trapped in a nearby surface was Adam. Just like Sarah, he was completely nude, and his limbs were encased in the wall all the way up to his armpits and crotch.

Though Sarah had long since gotten used to seeing her boyfriend naked, she still blushed and felt a slight throbbing in her groin as her eyes traced over his flaccid penis, which was still moderately large. Even though now was not the time, a small voice in the back of her head still begged for her to welcome the soft flesh into her mouth.

“A-Adam...!” Sarah gasped. “Wake up! Please wake up!”

“Ngh ... what...?” Adam weakly moaned, lifting his head.

“Thank goodness...”

“S-Sarah? What are - oh God, I had hoped it was just a dream...” Finally coming back to his senses and realizing what the situation was, he looked defeatedly around the chamber. His vision travelled up to A’luhr’s hanging body. “Fuck ... we did that ... didn’t we...”

“It’s not our fault, Adam!” Sarah tried to comfort him. “This monster made us!” She glared at The Queen. “If it weren’t for these restraints and drugs, I’d-”

“You would what, mm?” The Queen cut her off. A dangerous look crossed her face. “Kill me? Tell me, who is the ‘monster’ here? The Krinis have not shed a single drop of blood, but yet you already killed the Great Mother. Or, rather, this one did.” She slowly stood up from her throne, allowing Sarah and Adam to watch as a human cock slipped out of her pussy. It appeared that her alien vagina was full of writhing cilia, as they could be seen pulling away from the man’s tortured shaft as she rose.

It had been hidden inside of her body this whole time and seemed to be sticking straight out of the seat of her chair. Several small tendrils bound the erect flesh tightly, clearly preventing ejaculation, but not stopping a near constant stream of precum from trickling down the shaft. It stuck straight up in the air, twitching and throbbing, as The Queen stepped back to admire it. She laughed playfully and flicked the tip with her finger, making it shake back and forth, dripping precum all over the throne.

Sarah and Adam glanced at each other in confusion. Noticing their non-apprehension, The Queen smiled coyly and waved her hand. A small section of tentacles on the back of the throne’s seat suddenly parted, revealing a gagged, reddened human face lost in the throes of ecstasy.

“S-Steven!?” Sarah blurted out.

“I-is he alive!?” Adam yelled, squirming angrily in his binds. “You bitch! I’ll kill you!”

“You are certainly adept at proving my point,” The Queen sighed. “Unlike your primitive race, we Krinis avoid bloodshed. We would rather focus on ... growth ... for everyone.” She smiled and poured the contents of her cup onto Steven’s trembling cock, coating it in A’luhr’s pussy juice.

The Queen began to rapidly stroke it with one of her hair tentacles that was covered in small, squirming feelers, clearly with the intent of making Steven ejaculate as fast as possible. Only, he never did. Though his stimulated manhood throbbed and pulsated, the tight bindings around it forced him back as he endured the hellish edging.

The sudden rush of pleasure and light seemed to stir him from his stupor. His dazed eyes slowly became clearer as if waking up from having passed out. He blinked and his eyes widened in desperation as he stared down at his abused, helpless shaft. He screamed into the tentacle gagging his mouth, prompting it to push past his lips and slither down his throat, making him gag. With his body still completely held within the throne, all he could do was dart his eyes around the dimly lit room until they landed on Sarah’s and Adam’s struggling forms.

He tried to yell something to them, but his cries were unintelligibly muffled by the tentacle filling his mouth. Tears and snot ran down his face as his eyes suddenly rolled back into his head. His penis twitched madly as if trying to cum, but his swollen balls were offered no such release.

“H-hang in there, Steven!” Sarah cried out. “What are you doing to him!?”

“Did you think I would fail to punish the one who brought such treachery to our family?” The Queen cooed, still tormenting Steven’s tied cock, which had become a slight shade of reddish purple. “This male will remain here to be used and edged by me for as long as I desire ... and I have a lot of desire.” She licked her lips seductively as she reached up and firmly spanked A’luhr’s tight ass, causing the bound woman’s body and tits to swing back and forth. “And I have other uses for this bellus daughter of mine.”

She reached up and firmly hefted A’luhr’s swaying boobs in both of her hands. She started to gently knead A’luhr’s small, purplish nipples, which seemed to finally elicit a small flinch from A’luhr’s exhausted body.

“This one here has caused me quite a bit of distress, you see.” The Queen sighed heavily. “I can only assume it was her who taught you humans the evils of the forbidden light. I am quite upset with this rebellious daughter, but I am merciful. I will still give her a chance to redeem herself.”

“What do you mean by that...?” Sarah asked cautiously.

“You really think this psycho-bitch has a MEANING to her madness!?” Adam snapped. “She just means that she’s going to rape her just like she’s been doing to us! We’re fucked!”

“Aww ... don’t you think ‘rape’ is a strong word?” The Queen replied in a soft, playful voice. “After all, I seem to recall you enjoying yourself VERY much.”

“I ... th-thats...!” Adam stammered, suddenly flushing red. His penis twitched slightly.

“You do not need to fret, my son!” The Queen smiled encouragingly. “There is nothing wrong with enjoying the pleasures your body offers you, especially when it means returning to your loving, true family.” With another tweak of her nimble fingers, The Queen’s efforts on A’luhr’s hard nipples were rewarded, as white fluid began to squirt down from them.

The Queen beamed and pressed her lips to A’luhr’s gushing teats, drinking deeply of the milk, which started to trickle down the sides of her cheeks. No drop was wasted, however, as her hair tentacles expertly sucked up any wayward droplets before they could touch the ground.

The Queen’s body suddenly pulsated with a warm light that travelled from her head down to her ass, where a thick braid of tail-like tentacles connected her to the ground. The energy, or whatever it was, seemed to flow down into the hive itself before being carried off to some other area behind the throne. The Queen pulled back from A’luhr’s hanging tits and smacked her lips in a refreshed manner.

“Oh yes, this will do nicely!” She purred. “You are such a good girl!” She grabbed a large handful of A’luhr’s ass cheek and gave it a firm squeeze, sinking her fingers into the supple flesh before giving it a playful little shake. She planted another small smack on A’luhr’s jiggling booty before turning back around to see her human captive’s bewildered faces.

“I can see that you are curious about your companion here,” The Queen raised a brow and smiled down at them. “Do not be jealous; her offerings are no more valuable than your own ... however, hers are for a more unique purpose.”

The Queen snapped her fingers and the tall wall of tentacles behind her throne fell away, revealing the interior of the chamber where they had first seen the original queen. The gigantic tree-like organism was now largely gone. In its place was a large, crumbling husk with pieces of fleshy tentacles hanging lifelessly from the ceiling above and piles of ash and unidentifiable goo littered the ground all around it. The incubation chambers were still present and seemingly unharmed. However, as the fresh 18-year-olds emerged naked from the cocoons, they were simply pulled away into other parts of the hive instead of first being broken in.

As they watched, veins of warm glowing light began to weave up the damaged corpse of the old queen. For a second, it appeared to pulse with life once more, like a heart struggling to beat.

“It ... it’s coming back to life...” Sarah gaped. “B-but how is that even possible!? Surely you don’t mean to tell me that the Krinis have even solved the problem of death!?” The Queen laughed sorrowfully.

“Alas if only that were true...” She shook her head and gazed up at the remains of the dead queen. “No, this is just a special case. You see, us Queens are unique for many reasons. One of which is how we are born. The DNA of the species we are re-assimilating is collected by the previous Queen in order to birth a new one. As you know, contact with the forbidden light causes this DNA to denature ... leading to total cell decay. A normal drone would be finished, but us Queens are not so weak.” She smirked and tossed her tentacle hair back haughtily.

She reached her cup up to A’luhr’s nipple and squeezed the flesh above it, causing more milk to squirt down into the receptacle. The Queen took a delicate sip from the creamy liquid and the humans watched again as the warm glow passed from her chest down into the ground and then finally over into the old queen’s corpse. It pulsed with life a second time, seemingly a bit stronger than before.

“With access to ample amounts of DNA from the host species that birthed her, a Queen can restore her cells ... even from death,” The Queen continued. “However, they usually lack the means to do so. Luckily, her loving and loyal daughter is here to assist ... and I’ve found a healthy specimen of her host species to milk as long as needed until she is completely revived.” She hugged herself happily, squeezing her huge tits together and merrily spinning in place, causing her two cocks to sway along with her.

“She will be so proud of me,” The Queen squealed. “It’s just a shame that I will have to leave to find other wayward children so soon afterwards...” She sighed and tossed the contents of the cup into the air, where her hair-tentacles autonomously danced around in order to swallow all of the life-giving fluid before it hit the ground. “But before that, I should allow you children to enjoy your reunion one last time before I send you off to where you belong.”

“What exactly do you mean by that?” Adam spat, glaring daggers at The Queen. Sarah wasn’t sure if he was asking about ‘enjoying the reunion’ or ‘where they belong’, but she imagined that they would be finding out soon enough ... which wasn’t a comforting thought.

Now that A’luhr had been captured as well, the odds of them escaping were slim to none. This might truly be the end for them ... and possibly humanity as a whole. She had to grasp onto the sliver of hope that someone, somewhere, had a plan. If only they had one of A’luhr’s grenades ... Sarah assumed that A’luhr must have used it to get away from the university campus. Once again, she cursed at herself for going along with that ill-begotten mission.

Suddenly, both Sarah and Adam were ejected from the fleshy wall, landing in slimy heaps on the ground. After having just been pondering an escape, she briefly believed they were being saved after all. The illusion of hope was quickly shattered, however, as she realized her arms were still bound tightly behind her back by a gently slithering tentacle. Glancing to her side, she noticed that Adam was in the same state. He struggled to push his chest off the ground to get into a kneeling position, but the slick goo on the floor and coating his bare skin made him repeatedly slip.

Sarah lay face-down on the ground, gritting her teeth in frustration before propping her head up on her chin, feeling tears of anger and humiliation starting to well up in her eyes. When she saw what was happening to A’luhr, she couldn’t simply lay still any longer.

“Y-you’re going to kill her!” Sarah cried out, frantically trying to get to her feet. She slipped just like Adam had and instead started to madly crawl on her knees towards the knees of the laughing Queen who was looking up at A’luhr’s pitiful body. The tentacles holding A’luhr’s limbs had released her, but the huge tentacle stuffing her pussy remained, holding her aloft as if impaled. Her head and limbs shook like a ragdoll as the tentacle gently swayed back and forth, forcing her full body weight to push the pulsating appendage deeper into her abused hole.

“Please! Stop!” Sarah begged, attempting to press up against The Queen’s legs before suddenly being yanked backwards by the tentacle around her arms.

“As I said before,” The Queen replied, “my intentions are not to harm my children - much less kill them! Even the most rebellious of children simply need a strong hand to guide them.” She reached down towards her throne and the tentacles constructing it spread apart, allowing her to grab Steven by the arm and pull him out of the writhing mass. “But just as punishment is needed, so are rewards. You two managed to bring this lost daughter home to me, so I think it only fitting to allow all you to share some ... bonding time together ... one last time.”

“Where is Zoey!?” Steven suddenly hollered as the tentacle filling his mouth slithered away. “Where is my sister!?” He began to struggle and swing his limbs at The Queen, but he seemed drained of strength from his recent ordeal, making his blows light. The Queen let out a mirthless laugh at his attempts and simply threw him to the ground next to Adam, a tentacle binding his arms behind his back as well. Steven grunted and groaned, his body shaking and covered in slime.

Sarah flinched moments later as she heard a heavy wet thud next to her. She turned to see A’luhr’s crumpled body next to her, arms bound just like the rest of them. Her legs were slightly parted, allowed globs of thick, whitish-orange alien cum to lazily ooze out of her swollen cunt and pool on the floor around her crotch.

“A’luhr...” Sarah whimpered. “Please wake up...”

“I am quite awake, unfortunately,” A’luhr croaked, turning her face to look at Sarah with a tired, remorseful expression.

“Oh, thank God...” Sarah sighed in relief. “You weren’t moving, so I thought...”

“Hmph,” A’luhr flashed an exhausted smirk. “Why would I want to give her the satisfaction?” Sarah raised a long brow. A’luhr’s physical prowess and willpower continued to impress Sarah even now. It was such a shame that their story seemed to end here... “Do not give up hope,” A’luhr whispered into Sarah’s ear. “Just be ready.”

Sarah flashed a confused look and was about to reply when The Queen suddenly snapped her fingers and the tentacles holding all the captives’ arms sprang to life, pulling them all up into kneeling positions in front of The Queen as if bowing down to her.

“Good,” The Queen mused. “While I am your loving mother, it is still important to show the proper respect.” She sauntered over to her throne and sat down once again. She allowed her hips to jut forward as she took a lounging pose, spreading her legs wide and fully exposing her two huge, veiny cocks that continued to endlessly leak some sort of sweet-smelling fluid from the tips. “Come here, my children,” She cooed.

No one on the ground made any moves to crawl towards The Queen, so after a moment, the tentacles pinning their arms pushed their struggling bodies forward along the slick ground until all four of them were below The Queen’s intimidating twin phalluses. Sarah slowly lifted her head up to state at them, noticing the others doing the same, unconsciously drawn towards the alluring aroma that emitted from the towering rods.

Sarah swallowed and flushed with embarrassment as she fought back a sudden impulse to welcome one of the cocks into her mouth. Judging by the flustered coughs and confused looks from the guys next to her, she wasn’t the only one. Even A’luhr seemed to be stealing curious glances at the impressive shafts before her eyes.

“I think it’s time for you all to demonstrate your love for your mother,” The Queen said with a smile. “And to celebrate your reunion, you can work as a team! But let’s make it fun for all of us, mm?” Soft splatting sounds could be heard hitting the ground behind the captives, as if something had fallen from the ceiling. Sarah was about to look over her shoulder when she suddenly jerked in surprise and gasped as something warm and squishy brushed against her inner thighs.

Looking down, Sarah saw a vaguely starfish-shaped, fleshy creature with thousands of autonomously writhing cilia covering its surface. She heard Steven gasp and grunt to her side and glanced around to see that all of them had a similar little monster creeping up towards their exposed genitals.

The group all uttered exclamations of disgust and fear as the creatures suddenly latched onto each of their crotches like living underwear, hugging around their hips and pulling the teasing little feelers against each person’s quivering crotch.

A’luhr simply sat stony faced as the rest of what remained of her tight leggings were torn away by the feelers, fully revealing her muscular legs and perfectly round, toned ass. She couldn’t stop herself from flinching ever so slightly as one of the creature’s tendrils wormed its way up between her tight ass cheeks to connect around her waist like the rest of the small tentacles forming the living “panties”.

Sarah groaned as she felt the wiggling cilia explore every inch of her most intimate spots - caressing her ass, clit, and moist petals, before feeling longer feelers push deep inside of her to scour her inner walls. Just as her own pussy was being teased by the living panties, so too were the cocks and balls of the men, no doubt being stimulated from asshole to glans by the squirming tendrils coiling around them.

She let out an aroused gasp and buckled forward as she was quickly pushed towards orgasm ... but then the creature changed up its pace and left her just on the edge. The cussing and moaning from the others told Sarah that they were all being fiendishly edged just as she was. The Queen seemed very keen on this sort of thing ... and Sarah was beginning to worry that she was becoming addicted to it as well. However, she still had her wits about her. She let out a frustrated laugh and grit her teeth, grunting while looking up at The Queen.

“Mng...” Sarah moaned. “M-more edging?” She gasped and chuckled softly again. “Please ... this sort of ... mnn ... th-thing won’t work on us anymore ... ahh...!”

“It ... it might...” Adam admitted, sharply inhaling through his teeth as the tendrils rubbed a good spot on his shaft.

“Wh-where is my ... ngh ... sister?” Steven demanded again, the stimulation between his trembling legs causing him to begin gently panting. His muscles suddenly spasmed and he fell forward, grunting and whimpering. Clearly his long edging session beforehand had made me even more susceptible to the devilish teasing.

“Now, now,” The Queen cooed in a calming voice. “Let us not dwell on those who are not with us but focus instead on those who are. You will want to be in sync with one another in order to win the fun little game we are going to play.” She giggled and bent forward to gently stroke Steven’s hair, who recoiled away. The Queen simply smiled down at him and spread her legs wider.

“Games?” A’luhr replied coldly. “Is that what destroying countless lives is to your kind?” She spat on the ground and her saliva was quickly absorbed into it, carrying away a glowing light like before. Though A’luhr didn’t seem too perturbed by the edging, Sarah suspected that the last strength of her facade would soon crumble, as she was already seeing slight tremor in A’luhr’s jaw.

“So, you are already happily giving up your genetic material to save our Great Mother?” The Queen clapped her hands together happily. “My daughter, the Krinis do not ‘destroy lives’ - we simply help our wayward family transcend from their old life full of unnecessary stress, conflict, and worries. To join with us is the higher calling of all species begotten by our ancestors’ efforts.”

“What nonsense do you speak of?” A’luhr growled, before suddenly letting out a slight, cute gasp of pleasure. Sarah never expected such a girly, innocent sound to leave A’luhr’s lips, and judging by her face, which was now blushing a warm shade of purple, neither had A’luhr. Sarah realized that A’luhr had not been present when The Queen had explained the Krinis’s history, so her confusion was understandable. However, The Queen didn’t seem interested in educating her at the moment.

“Hush now, my dear child,” The Queen gently murmured. “You will come to learn the truth with your body soon enough, but for now, let’s put your mouth to better use than for questions, mm?” She then whispered something down to A’luhr in a language that Sarah had never heard before. It must have been A’luhr’s native tongue, given how her eyes widened in surprise and her blush faded into a pale.

Sarah was about to ask A’luhr what was said when suddenly The Queen’s two cocks flexed as if coming to life and began to gently squirm like tentacles. Thick veins pulsated up each shaft and even more precum-like nectar started to dribble down from the tip, coating each glans and dripping down to the ground in front of the throne.
