Sierra woke on a hard surface. Her eyes blinked in the half light. She was naked, but the air was warm and almost humid. The grogginess she'd initially felt began to dissipate into confusion. Nothing in her immediate surroundings made sense. She almost couldn't remember who she was. Then a few flashes. The kind doctor. Worried faces of family. Lying on the gurney hooked up to so many wires, machines and IVs. The pain fading into that thick anesthesia feeling and some shadow memory of cold.
Then it flashed through her mind that she couldn't feel her body, at least not the way she was used to feeling it -- the constellation of sharp pains blinking in and out of joints, the exhaustion and nausea ebbing and resurfacing. All gone. She took a deep breath, then sighed. No pain, no wheezing, yet her chest did feel a little heavy.
Suddenly, blinding light flared from above and Sierra brought up her arm to shield her eyes.
A strangely accented voice boomed, "Intergalactic lords and ladies, our human woman is awake. Once highly prized as sexual pets, modern human slaves are rare indeed, rarer still to find one without the protective, poisonous genetic modifications most humans now possess." There were murmurs as if from a crowd.
Sierra couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the words as her own thoughts interrupted swirling with questions, "What? Where am I?" but she turned towards the murmurs and was startled to see across the room what looked like shadow monsters of every shape and size staring at her through darkly tinted glass.
"She came to us floating through space," the booming voice continued, "like a gift from Shevu. Perfectly preserved. Only a slight immune malfunction quickly corrected and though we made very few, ehem, additions, I'm sure they won't go unappreciated. Who'll start the bidding?"
Sierra's eyes widened. What? She tried to sit up and nearly fell back, propping herself with her arms. The surface beneath her looked and felt like warm, silver chrome, but that wasn't what caught her eye. She stared dumbfounded at the huge, perky breasts which swayed heavily as she caught her balance. What the?! She'd never been flat-chested, but now . . .
Sierra snapped back to the voice as it seemed to be answering a question from the crowd behind the glass, "we will be having a demonstration shortly Lady Abel. I assure you all is in working order, and as I said, no poison to contend with."
Fear began crawling over Sierra which bubbled into full on panic. What was this? What had been done to her? She managed to sit all the way up and swing her legs off the odd, chrome, bean-shaped "bed" and her feet touched warm . . . sand? A little dizzy from the quick movements, she looked about frantically. It appeared to be a large room with the shifting, sinister figures behind tinted glass on one side and seamless darkness on the other three walls. Hazarding another look at her body, she noted other less obvious changes, absolutely smooth, perfect skin and . . .
A whoosh sound and a large rectangle of light appearing on one wall interrupted her inspection. The shadow of a tall, male figure filled the rectangle and stepped forward.
"Ah, the Shivean is ready. Lords and ladies, enjoy." There seemed to be a smile in the announcer's voice. There were cheers and applause and then expectant silence.
The man? Creature? advanced towards her across the sand floor with almost snake-like stealth, his dark, predatory gaze piercing her to the spot. As he drew closer, she noted he was even taller than she first thought, his skin greenish with an almost metallic sheen. His face looked human, but smooth and sharp at the same time. He smiled at her showing pointed, white teeth. Startled enough to break eye contact, she looked down to notice his lean, muscular body was naked except for a sort of silvery loincloth that tented over what appeared to be an enormous erection.
Instinct kicked in as she squeaked a yelp and slid off the silver rock-bed to stagger a few steps in the sand only to feel the creature's strong, strangely cool arm slide around her waist and grow taut, lifting her back against him like she weighed nothing. He must have moved like lightning to cover the distance so fast. His body against her was hard and also cool, but heat radiated from the erection she felt rubbing against her lower back through the cloth he wore. She struggled gasping for breath, chest heaving. Vaguely she heard cheers from the tinted glass, but they were quickly quieted.
"Stop!" she cried out. "There's been a mistake!"
The alien man's other smooth arm and long fingers moved down her body pinching and stroking. "Shhh," he leaned down and half cooed, half hissed in her ear, "You will not be harmed little pet." His voice was a silky rasp, "mmm, your skin feels so nice."
"Let me go!" she whimpered. His free hand was making it back up from her thigh to her waist and then it cupped the heavy weight of her breast until pulling it out by pinching the nipple. "Stop it!" She struggled again. Angry tears filled her eyes. "I was sick and . . ."
"Oh," he said while seemingly effortlessly turning her to face him, "don't worry, I will make you feel so much better."
The tall, alien man pulled her to him again, this time his erection pushing into her belly. One of his long hands remained on her ass holding her close the other grabbing her neck forcing her to look up at him. Her arms flailed uselessly pushing against his chest.
He smiled almost lazily and tightened the grip on her neck cutting off her breath. As he released his grasp, her mouth gasped for air and he descended on her kissing her open mouth with a long, black tongue. Remembering his sharp teeth, she froze as his hand held her head in place. He expertly teased and tongued her, ending by tracing her parted lips. In spite of herself, she sighed and a soft moan escaped her shuddering body. She felt a little light-headed. "You taste delicious, little slave," he said now nuzzling her neck.
His words took a moment to register and at once she renewed her ineffective squirming and struggling.
There were some indistinct murmurs and clicking noises from the crowd behind the glass.
"Yes," said the announcer. Sierra had almost forgotten about the eerie audience and though held fast, tried to squint helplessly in the crowd's direction.
"Now, Shivean" commanded the announcer, "we don't have all day." There seemed to be a response from the crowd, both movement and sounds of approval.
The reptilian man holding her pursed his lips into a smile. "I thought it would be better if you were somewhat prepared" he whispered to her in a conspiratorial way. She realized she could still taste his kiss like a sort of honey, sticky film coated her mouth. Her body seemed to buzz and her nipples grew so erect they ached. She could feel a pulsing need start to throb in her abdomen. She shifted her legs together and gasped as the rubbing sent a thrill through her.
