"Alec?" said Michiko. He
was standing right in front of her, nude aside from patches of silvery gel. His
was thinner than the armor she'd seen on the soldiers who stormed the bridge,
and it didn't look like it was meant to protect him so much as to arouse him.
Every strip covered an erogenous zone: his chest and shoulders, his navel, a
broad diamond that stretched from his navel to somewhere behind his balls, and
the inside of his thighs. The gel rippled almost imperceptibly, massaged by
starfish-like creatures not much larger than a pinhead. Alec's cock was at half-mast, his body
trembled, and she recognized his smile from more than a decade of foreplay.
But she couldn't look at that for
very long, because the real horrors lurked above the gel. Her husband's eyes
had rolled up so far that she could see only the barest blue sliver of iris;
and a…a monster…had spread itself across his head and forehead. The
thing's body was white, chitinous, and divided into eight narrow segments. Its
scorpion-like tail curled backwards over the top of Alec's head and seemed
(Michiko prayed she was wrong) to be buried in his skull, while its head was
level with Alec's nose. Its multi-jointed legs – sixteen in all – pressed
against, or possibly through, Alec's temples and other sensitive spots around
his face.
The creature raised its head on a
narrow stalk-like neck and looked at Michiko. Its eyes were blue-black and
fathomless.
Hatred welled up in her. She'd
never been a violent person, but seeing this…thing attached to her
husband, she wanted to rip it off his head and tear it apart with her teeth.
But Michiko couldn't move. She was
standing motionless, just like Alec; and looking down at herself, she saw a
pattern of silvery marks across her own erogenous zones. Thankfully, her
starfish weren't massaging her into unwanted arousal. That would have been too
disgusting to bear.
She looked at his face again, and a
sudden, horrible though struck her. Although she couldn't raise her arms, she
could blink and frown, and by doing so she was able to confirm that there was
an alien like Alec's on her own head. "Alec," she said tightly,
"get this thing off me."
He flashed his most charming smile,
but it didn't work without his eyes, and she sensed that he wasn't really the
one smiling anyway. "Sorry, sweetheart," He said. "We can't
resist our owners." His voice was softer than usual, but the ecstasy she
heard in it sounded all too real.
Michiko ground her teeth.
"These things are not our owners. They're aliens – enemies –
slavers!"
"Poor Michiko," said
Alec. He still hadn't lowered his eyes, but she could swear he was looking at
her. Maybe the alien was looking at her for him. "I know you're
scared, but don't worry. You'll feel better just as soon as your owner connects
to you."
She could guess what that meant.
"Look at me, Alec! Do I look like I want to feel better? Look at
me!"
His upturned eyes didn't waver.
"I can't, darling. I'm in such ecstasy that it's all I can do just to stay
my feet. But that's all right because my owner keeps me focused. It even sees
the things I can't and feeds the images into my brain, so there's nothing to
worry about. Really, sweetie, it's okay. You're going to feel just as good as I
do before long."
