Chapter Three
The two of them nuzzled together, speaking little as their soft bodies nestled in the corner of the sofa-like bed. There didn't seem to be all that much to say, their words and thoughts communicated via the way they pleasured each other's bodies.
As time wore on, they started to become more used to the way the alien sex organs operated, but neither of them had worked up enough confidence to go for full penetration. There was something about the act that seemed permanent, as if there was no going back.
Not that it seemed like they had a choice. Their skin was already changing colors, taking on a darker hue. Neither of them could really define the color properly, as they couldn't trust the shade of blue they could see with their human eyes.
Their alien eyes were another thing entirely. Kate had spent a long time examining every curve of her lover with this new sight, studying the teardrop shape of her face and the way the upper edge of her skull was forming into a rounded armor plate. The definition of the subtle details was immaculate, and the way the new eyes provided parallax was superior.
They were just flat out
better
than using her old set of eyes, and she was starting to worry that she was embracing these alien features a little
too
well.
Nonsense.
If her Masters desired this of her, she would obey them. Both of them would.
She just needed to get used to this. Sighing, she idly stroked a hand over the alien wrapped around Jackie's neck, her lips wobbling as she noticed the way it squirmed with contentment. If one could ignore the fact that it looked like a gigantic slug, it was actually rather cute, in its own way.
Jackie frowned, eyelids closing across her alien eyes. "There's a calming aura about you," she said softly, her words slurring as she did her best to communicate with her enlarged tongue. "A beautiful shimmer that I can't quite put into words."
"Thanks," smiled Kate, stopping her stroking, enjoying the warmth of Jackie's body.
She could see something similar with her alien sight, but she didn't want to tell Jackie about how broken her aura looked. There were jagged edges, where it appeared to have been torn, shards of her personality sparkling like unpolished gems.
She didn't know what it meant, but as they relaxed, Jackie did appear to be getting better in some fashion. The edges were starting to fit, gluing themselves back into a consolidated whole. It couldn't be that bad, then. In time, she'd be a new person. An
obedient
person.
Ugh.
These intrusive thoughts were starting to become a little more obvious. She
knew
that they were being inserted by the slug attached to her neck, yet she couldn't do anything about them.
They had taken over her mind. She was an obedient slave to her Masters.
She conceded this. That was entirely true. She
had
been taken by her Masters. Her body
was
controlled.
That didn't mean she had to be slavish all the time, though. There were still things her base Kate personality desired, and she was going to seize them.
If her Masters let her.
They seemed pleased enough with allowing her to relax and spend time with her lover in this way, though that probably fit into their plans. They were using her to ensure that Jackie wouldn't resist her conversion.
She had to admit that this thought was arousing, which was probably one of the reasons they had managed to take her over so easily in the first place. She
liked
the idea of being controlled.
Before, it had been Jackie in charge, treating her like the slave she was. She had loved performing little tasks of service for her lover, like doing the dishes and cleaning house. Being tied up, bound, and
fucked
by her dildos.
In retrospect, it was only a natural progression to whatever
this
was. She had simply traded one master for another.
She felt bad that some of Jackie's dominant personality had been subverted, but everything should be fine in the end, as long as she accepted this new hierarchy of dominance. Jackie could still be her master, just not
the
master.
If the aliens wanted something of her, she would do it. This response had already become natural to her, baked into her mind. They had only to ask.
The lights above them sparkled, changing colors as the ends of tentacle stalks rotated to point at them. The tentacle arms keeping them locked in the room began to squirm, squishing against each other as they rolled and flexed.
When they finished reconfiguring into new positions, a wide opening remained, giving them a view of the corridor beyond. They had finally been released from their jail cell.
Scooting over on the fleshy couch, Kate sat up, not feeling horny for the first time in a long time. A pressure in the back of her brain was suddenly missing, and she frowned, realizing that she hadn't even
thought
about trying to escape. The aliens must have been suppressing that urge, and now that the way had opened, they had stopped.
Interesting.
Jackie had sat up too, leaning towards the open portal. "I don't quite understand it, but... I'm feeling like... we should
go
. Are you feeling that, too?"
She
was
. It was rather curious to understand that the Masters had control over her without her even noticing. While some of the interventions they had taken recently were overt, it was becoming clear that their indirect methods were even
more
potent.
"Then... why
not?
If they're okay with us exploring, we might as well." Kate frowned. "I guess they're not going to give us any clothing to wear, though."
"Probably not," groaned Jackie. "None of the aliens we've seen on the ship so far have been wearing anything, though our sample size has been pretty low. For that matter, we haven't seen them wear anything but armor
