I peeled my eyes away from the crystal and glanced at the clock while I undressed and climbed into the bed. It was only 3pm now. I had hours to myself and I wanted to take advantage of it. I wanted to shower and do some quick makeup before Kei got here, so I set my alarm for 6:30pm.
My head hit the pillow and my fingers wandered between my legs... Vague fantasies danced in my head, but I was quite tired from the work week, and my eyelids were becoming heavy...
*
I woke to a strange sensation in my arm, like I'd contorted it in my sleep. I looked over to see my right arm sprawled across the bed, fully extended. My heart jumped when I noticed something slick coiled around my wrist, writhing as it restrained me. It was like a black snake, but I couldn't see the head or tail. And it was slicker than a snake, slimy and sticky.
I could feel my chest pounding but I was stunned and could not scream.
"Deep breaths," I muttered to myself. I watched in horror as it twisted around my arm, which was becoming weak in its grip. I just had to peel this...thing... off with my other arm.
I reached over and tried to pry it off, but its grip only got tighter.
Suddenly, another long appendage whipped across my body and coiled around my free arm. "No!" I yelped as it yanked my left arm away, pulling it back to the other side of the bed. My arms were spread wide on the bed now. "Nononono," I murmured, yanking on each arm and trying to extricate them but to no avail. I was hopelessly trapped.
I couldn't hear anything except my pounding heart and my shallow breaths.
What was this creature? It was a long shot, but maybe it could understand speech.
"Please," I squeaked, "please... let me go?"
The tentacles around my wrists only got tighter. I wailed as I realized that meant they understood me, but didn't care what I wanted.
My eyes widened as I saw six more of the same black tendrils creeping toward me, three from each side of the bed. How many more were under there, waiting to take their turn with me?
I pulled on my restraints with more might. "Please no please no," I begged. But nothing stopped them. I jerked back and forth as they started creeping over my sides and my belly, pressing onto my skin and leaving a slimy trail as they explored.
Curiosity subdued me for a moment as I gazed at these supernatural creatures. Most of them were thin but two were as wide as a baseball bat. I squinted at these ones, trying to make out some details. At the tips, these thick tentacles were smooth, except for the marks of an "X" shape that I didn't see on the others.
"What are you going to do to me?" I whimpered. I had tried to sound confident but hardly a whisper came out.
As if in response, the tentacles over my stomach stopped their movements all at once and turned toward my face. I tried to stretch away from them, but the smaller ones started creeping up my body and coiling themselves around my breasts. I jerked back and forth to keep them off, but they calmly followed my movements.
The larger tentacles loomed over my face. Suddenly, they split open along the cross marks on their tips, each revealing a cesspool of small, neon wriggling tendrils inside.
I screamed as these tentacles darted towards my nipples and clamped down with their cross-shaped openings. The tendrils inside began licking each nipple and I moaned.
I violently shook back and forth to try to dislodge them from leeching on my breasts, but it was as if they didn't notice me. Instead, my breasts jiggled comically. One of the tentacles around my wrists gave me a squeeze as if to say,
That was it. Your total humiliation. And you didn't even get free.
Actually my total humiliation would have been if anyone saw me like this--oh my god. I gasped: Kei was coming later, and I had told her to let herself in! Shuddering, I glanced at the clock. 7pm. One hour until she came. Surely I could get out of this mess before then.
I screamed when suddenly, from inside the tentacles latched to my breasts, I felt something sharp inserted into my nipples. I had never felt such a sensation in my life and could not stop screaming and screaming. I thought about trying to get myself to stop lest any neighbors discover my predicament. The creature answered for me as another tentacle forced itself into my mouth.
After I got over the initial shock, I clamped down on it with my teeth, but it seemed unaffected. My muffled screams became moans as the needle-tendrils remained in my nipples.
What were they doing to me? Torture? Injecting fluid into me? Poison? And why? Why me?
Much to my shame, I felt blood pumping between my legs and wetness building. Frantically, I started kicking around in the air, thinking maybe I could find some way to free myself with my legs. Never failing to tame me, however, two more tentacles started wrapping themselves around my thigh, spiraling all the way down to my ankles. I gagged on the tentacle in my throat when I tried to scream again.
I thrashed my head back and forth, but the tentacle stayed lodged in my throat, maybe even slipping in deeper. I finally stopped thrashing, trying to keep myself from gagging.
I needed to tell Kei not to come in. I couldn't let her see this. I could cancel, say I was sick. My phone was on the nightstand, only just out of reach. I strained, grasping for it.
Almost there...
The sound of the phone hitting the floor startled me. I had pushed it too far, too awkwardly, and now it was gone. Maybe the creature was surprised too, because it flinched around my body.
The tentacles were unrelenting. The phone was gone. But I kept reaching, even as tears pooled in my eyes.
I stopped short when the tentacles around my legs started to slowly draw them apart, exposing me.
No, please no! Please please please, anywhere but there!
I tried to say, but it came out in muffled whines.
As if to mock me, the tentacle in my throat started pumping in and out, languidly at first, but soon rapidly. I coughed and gagged.
"Ah--ah--ah--ah," I heard. I flushed when I realized these grotesque sounds were myself.
I felt something new along my ankle, so I jerked my neck down to look, at least as much as the tentacles allowed me. Two new tentacles were slithering dangerously close. One was violet, tapered and had suckers on it. The other was dark and smooth and had a slightly bulbous head, almost as wide as a water bottle...
