Alice's lizard brain was not coping. She was blind, naked, limbs bound, and in the process of climaxing. And she was falling! She splashed down, her impact cushioned by the soft padding in the bottom of the tub. Her knees, still bent double, slid into their dedicated indentations. She found herself blind, naked, limbs bound, and now submerged. Her heart was thundering. She couldn't think, overwhelmed by every ancestral instinct screaming at her to get out of this situation
now
. Her cognizance wasn't helped by the mind-blowingness of the orgasm she'd just experienced.
As the orgasm faded, and her mind slowly began to clear, Alice began trying to calm herself.
Long, slow, deep breaths.
She immediately realized there was another fundamental problem with her situation - being submerged and gagged, she couldn't actually breathe. Her body immediately went back into a primal panic, and she began flailing ineffectually. As she struggled, she felt a tugging from the tube connected to her gag, and found that she could no longer lift her head.
Whilst the tube continued to retract, dragging her thrashing head forwards and down through the pale bubbling fluid, she felt the tub's soft padded lining begin to slowly expand around her. The tube, now fully retracted, kept her head secured to the bottom of the machine. Meanwhile, a device extending down from the lid recaptured the loops in her hair, completely immobilizing her head and tilting it slightly backwards. The expanding padding softly but firmly gripped her bent knees, and pushed her heels firmly against her ass. The triangular outcropping between her legs slowly grew, pressing against her inner thighs and forcing them further apart.
She still couldn't breathe.
Just as Alice's mind was starting to grow fuzzy, air poured through her gag and was pumped into her lungs. Razor sharp awareness flooded into her with it. Her eyes shot wide open as she sucked it in, gasping, shoulders heaving. It tasted slightly metallic.
As the asphyxiation induced panic faded, a strange sensation started to seep into her awareness. All over her body she felt a pleasant tingling. It was faint - almost unnoticeable, but definitely there, and definitely nice. Was it the gas? Or maybe that pink liquid?
She felt the foam pressing against her neck, surrounding it. It pressed against her collarbone, her cuffed arms and upper back, and her pelvis, forcing her into a slight arch and pushing her breasts into their cavities. The strange material continued to inexorably envelop her, mercilessly manipulating her body, forcing her into her preordained position. It conformed tightly to her body and pressed gently but firmly against almost every inch of her skin. The soft, padded material gradually grew unyielding, until she could no longer move any part of her body more than a millimeter in any direction. Then it stopped.
Her breathing gradually slowed from desperate gasps, to labored panting, to more measured breathing. There was still no movement. Having finally regained the ability to think straight, she began to ponder her predicament. The pose she had been forced into was a deeply vulnerable one. Her head tilted back, far enough to expose her neck, but not far enough to cause discomfort. Back arched, submissively pushing her tits outwards. Thighs spread wide. It was also undeniably erotic. She wasn't uncomfortable, but her body was,
accessible
. She was becoming aware that there were parts of her body not in contact with the foam. There were gaps surrounding her nipples and vulva. She remembered the hatches she'd seen, and wondered what was hidden behind them. Her position, and the emptiness around her breasts and pussy made her feel deliciously helpless and exposed. She gave an involuntary squirm. Was that tingling getting stronger? She realized the pink fluid must still be in contact with her, suffused throughout the foam.
There was no movement. She was held still, she couldn't tell for how long. The tingling continued to intensify, becoming a pins and needles prickling. It definitely still felt pleasurable, but it was also becoming slightly uncomfortable, making her desperately want to rub her skin against something. She began halfheartedly wriggling against the foam, but she was held so tightly, she couldn't get any friction, only pressure. The tingling was becoming particularly noticeable around her nipples and clit, and the open space, the lack of something to press them against was becoming frustrating. Her awareness was centered around them, and she felt them slowly stiffen.
Still nothing happened. Her arousal continued to grow.
God
, that prickling was intense. She remembered Tiana's words: "You'll love it
and
hate it". They were beginning to make a lot of sense. Her struggles gradually became rhythmic, her muscles contracting uselessly as she tried to undulate her body against the foam.
Suddenly Alice froze. Had something squeezed her calves? It had been light, barely there. Long moments passed, with no further contact. No, she must have imagined it. Probably the sensory deprivation was messing with her head. She went back to her horny squirming.
It was several minutes before it happened again. This time it was her shoulders that the foam lightly gripped. That was definitely real. Then nothing. Several more minutes passed. The next one was her neck. She gasped as the foam tightened around her throat, emphasizing her helplessness, and then loosened again.
The waits between each contact continued to decrease, the foam gripping one part of her body at a time. It was impossible to predict where would be next, or how firm it would be. The squeezes came faster and faster, gradually increasing in intensity. The massage felt very nice, but it was still not giving her the friction she craved. As her body was softly manipulated, it just served to add to her arousal and need, the unavoidable touch just making her feel more helpless and exposed.
Suddenly, the rhythm changed. Her knees were firmly gripped. The foam rippled up her doubled legs, over her calves and smooth thighs. It began to shiver gently where it gripped her, a subtle, high frequency hum. The wave traveled ever so slowly upwards, squeezing her ass and pelvis, and pushing her downwards, seeming to emphasize the empty space surrounding her pussy. It rolled up over her stomach and lower back, then her ribs. Her tits were squeezed, the purring caress causing her to wriggle. Her upper back was pressed down, forcing her now rigid nipples further out into empty space. She arched further instinctively, desperately seeking something to press them against. Finally, the wave passed over her shoulders and terminated with another firm, buzzing squeeze of her neck. The intensity of the experience left her breathless and panting. She realized the machine hadn't let up on her ass cheeks or breasts, each still being slowly massaged, and her vulva and nipples were still being pushed firmly down into their empty cavities. After a second, the process was repeated, starting at her knees and working its ways up again. The cycle continued at this slow and intense pace.

The monitor was packed with readouts and indicators, graphs and numbers. It was the sort of information dense display that only an engineer could be knowledgeable enough to comprehend, and tasteless enough to design.
Using a computer with one hand was difficult, but Tiana had had plenty of practice. She pressed a chord, and her Tub's sophisticated array of sensors generated a real-time 3D representation of Alice's contorted, immobile form, slowly rotating. As Tiana watched, Indentations appeared, rippling upwards over Alice's body. A small indicator to the right shaped like a pink cartoon heart pulsed. Its rhythm was accelerating. Tiana smiled to herself, imagining how Alice must be feeling. Another keypress overlaid an electromyogram, showing muscle activity in blue flashes. Her smile grew wider as the activity revealed Alice's rhythmic, futile squirming.
