Try as he may, Tristan just couldn’t bring his surroundings into focus. His mind was foggy. It took considerable effort to remember who he was, where he was, and why he was there. Visions of his years growing up in Manthella floated inside his head. They’d been happy years, filled with fun and pleasure right up until he was old enough to choose which faction he’d join. His parents were both physicians and wanted him to be the same, but his personality and constitution leaned more toward the military.
It was his limited exposure to medicine that gave him an understanding of what was happening. He’d been injected with a serum that would incapacitate him so that his captors had the freedom to do as they wished with his body. Although barely aware of his senses, he was able to feel a poke and a jab now and then. An electric rod was used on more than one occasion to elicit a positive or negative response. They took so much blood from him that he lost count at vial number twelve. He was grateful for his body’s ability to rapidly reproduce and regenerate.
Surprise, shame, and fury bubbled beneath the fog that consumed him when they coaxed his body into ejaculating a surprising amount of sperm in such a removed and disinterested manner that they could have been doing any type of mundane activity. He could only imagine what they intended to do with it.
He’d considered pulling on his genetic heritage on more than one occasion, but thought better of it. He’d done it while battling the evil meta-naturals but worried that if he brought that side of him to the forefront, the mad scientist would be aware of it and have better access to the genetics he struggled to keep hidden from him. With what Tristan had already deduced was going on in the facility, he shuddered to think of the consequences of such a mind having access to his true genetics.
If he had more of his own people backing him, then, he’d do it in a heartbeat, but alone and drugged half of the time… well, it just wasn’t the wisest thing to do. At least not until he had a better understanding of where he was, how many humans were involved in his capture, what happened to his vessel, and how to make a clean and speedy getaway.
His people were the product of the Atlantean experiments. Half-creature, half-human. Over the millenniums, they’d worked at mastering subduing their beastly side to the point that it came forth only when called upon to help save their people when in dire situations. While once looked upon as something to hide and be ashamed of amongst others in inner-earth, his kind was now revered. It was because of Tristan’s ability to call that side of him out with rapid speed that he advanced so far in military rank.
He resigned himself to the fact that, so far, they’d done nothing that, although uncomfortable, would harm him. He still held on to the hope that he’d find a way to reason with the mad scientist and complete his mission.
It was unfortunate that the doctor picked up on his premonition ability. Telepathy and premonitions were a prominent feature in his family. They attributed it to their beastly genes since pure humanoids inside inner-earth showed no signs of possessing them.
The familiar voice of the mad scientist penetrated his fog. “I need one more sperm sample.”
“We got a considerable amount during that last ejaculation,” said the voice he’d grown to recognize as belonging to the pimply faced assistant.
“I didn’t ask how much you’d gotten,” the doctor barked in Russian; a language Tristan was beginning to understand as well as his own. “I said I want one more sample.” After a moment of silence, he added, “How long has it been since you collected the last dose of sperm?”
“An hour,” the assistant said.
“That is plenty of time to produce effective sperm again,” the mad scientist insisted. “Collect it and bring it to the reproductive lab right away.”
“Will you be there?” the assistant asked hesitantly.
“Does it matter?” the doctor asked with curiosity.
“It is just that,” the assistant said hesitantly, “the new girl seems a little… I do not feel good about divulging too much to her. She did not receive proper orientation and I get the impression she does not approve of what we are doing. Not to mention the fact that she asks far too many questions.”
“Questions?” the doctor asked with mild irritation. “Did no one give her an orientation once she arrived?”
“I made certain she had one on the afternoon she arrived, yet, she still persists in asking about things that she has no businesses asking about,” the assistant whined. “I just wonder if she will follow your instructions when I deliver the sperm if you are not there. Perhaps you should…”
The mad man took Tristan by surprise when he reverted to bellowing in English. “I don’t need you telling me what I should and shouldn’t do, Oleg.”
“Yes, doctor,” the assistant said timidly; speaking in English as well. “I didn’t mean… I’m sorry.”
“I’ll see to the girl,” the doctor said with a sigh, “but, until then, send someone to the lab to make sure she follows direction.”
Tristan detected a hint of pleasure in the assistant the mad scientist called Oleg when he said, “Yes, sir.”
A fresh injection sent his body into cloudy nothingness. From somewhere far away he could feel the erotic arousal caused by the stimulation of his genitals and realized that, once again, his sperm was being collected. He knew he should be upset, but he felt void of all emotion.
He allowed his mind the freedom to take him wherever it chose. As it had so many times since his capture, it took him to the room with the large bed and the beautiful naked dream girl. Each visit brought him closer to fulfilling his desire to have her fully. He imagined brushing her thick copper hair away from her pert nipple to allow his mouth access while his hardened rod rammed deep inside her as he poured forth an abundance of seed.
A feeling of loneliness and void replaced the warm erotic fantasy as he felt his limp and naked body being abandoned and the heat of the lights cooling as they were reduced to a mere glow.
He hoped they would complete their studies soon so that he could think with a clear head again. He needed to observe and ask questions so that he could find out what he needed to know in order to escape. He still had a spark of hope that he’d be able to complete his mission, but, if not, he’d return home. He didn’t want to return having failed his mission, but it was better than being a test subject for the rest of his life.
Chloe stared in disbelief at the woman on the opposite side of the glass while she replayed the conversation she’d just had with her.“I do this for science,” the pretty nineteen-year-old blonde, called Sadie, stated with a thick southern drawl.“How did you come to know about Dr. Sudnik’s project?” Chloe asked. “Were you living in Philadelphia?”“Oh no,” Sadie said with a light chuckle. “I ain’t never left the mountain until the doc showed up. He paid my parents a goodly sum for me to participate. Poverty runs deep in the Appalachian Mountains. I was happy to do this to help the family.”Guessing from the age of the girl, Chloe assumed this was her first pregnancy, but, even so, she felt it necessary to ask and be certain. “Is this your first birth?”“I’ve had five babies in me, but none of ‘em has lasted long enough to be
The pounding of her soft soled shoes on the highly polished tiled floor competed with her breathing as she raced from room to room, calling for the doctor. She found him in a room at the opposite end of the facility. He was observing an unusually tall, half-naked man in a glass cubicle that was similar to the one in her own laboratory.Chloe was so taken aback by the sight of his perfect body and handsome face as he moved closer to the glass upon her arrival that she nearly forgot why she was there. She also forgot to make note of the fact that he was shackled at the ankles and clearly being held prisoner. - It wasn’t until she lay in bed, later that night, that the memory came to mind.It took the doctor demanding to know why she was there for her to come to her senses and tear her eyes off the gorgeous specimen of a man. She breathlessly explained what was happening. He said something to the attendant in the room and then quickly h
She hoped she wouldn’t be caught, but if she was, she decided that, since it was still during working hours, it was better to be caught wandering in the halls at this time than to wait until the evening. She’d be better able to concoct an excuse for being in an area unassigned to her.She managed to get to the room where the male prisoner was kept. After leaning against the door for an undetermined amount of time, she finally found the courage to slip inside; holding her breath with the hopes that there was no attendant in with him. As luck would have it, he was alone.An enormous, and rather loud sigh escaped her lips when she realized she’d pulled it off.The sound of her sigh caught his immediate attention and he lept off the cot he’d been resting on. His look of shock took her by surprise. She was still dressed in her lab attire, so her presence shouldn’t seem that out of place or unsettling to him. Yet,

They found a fallen tree on the hillside with a hollow beneath it that was large enough to offer them shelter and covering in case someone was looking for them while they rested. Of course, she needed no rest, since she’d been carried the entire ten miles, but he clearly needed time to rejuvenate.“You don’t need to carry me, you know,” she said as she positioned herself next to him in the recesses of the hollow.He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and drew her close. “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”“That’s nice, I guess,” she said uncomfortably.“I have upset you?” he asked with raised brow.“Not at all,” she lied.“I sense you are uncomfortable. Please speak the truth. Why are you upset?” he prodded.She had no idea why she felt so compelled to be honest, but she did. So, she was. “I don’t
His large body lay atop of her in silent horror. What had he done? He knew for a fact that his seed was powerful when it connected with the egg of a human. The odds of him impregnating her were extremely high. What was he to do now? It was too soon for her to have his baby. Far too soon even if she knew the truth about him; which, of course, she didn’t. There were procedures to follow; Manthellan customs to uphold.He cursed himself for allowing things to get out of hand. He’d only intended on a little foreplay for their mutual satisfaction. Entering her wasn’t in the plan. He’d allowed himself to get lost in lust and love. Now, he had to face the consequences.She could feel a change in his body language as he slowly moved off her and pulled his pants back up. His silence was deafening.“I didn’t know I was a virgin,” she said apologetically,
Tristan used the silence in the car to think about what could be done about their situation. He realized too late that he’d acted poorly after sex. He should have consoled her and whispered loving words into her ear. After all, he’d taken her virginity. Instead, he lost himself in worry about impregnating her and paid minimal attention to anything else. He couldn’t even remember holding her in his arms as he ran to the station. His mind was just that pre-occupied.He had a lot to consider. First of all, Chloe was a human from the earth’s surface who thought he was the same. The shock of finding out that he came from inner-earth could be a bit much for her. If she was indeed pregnant, then it was his duty to divulge his DNA lineage to her, which included the fact that he was part human and part beast. He wanted more time to let her get to know him before he sprung something like that on her. At least
Chloe took a deep breath before knocking on Jim’s door. She’d stopped at the pharmacy and picked up the morning after pill. It was her first time using it, so she’d consulted the pharmacist about it and was disappointed to discover that it didn’t guarantee stopping a pregnancy. In fact, if the sperm had already fertilized an egg and the egg had imbedded itself in her uterine wall, the pill was useless. She’d grabbed a Pepsi, washed the pill down with it, and prayed.It was a mere matter of seconds before the door swung open after her soft knock. Jim’s eyes glistened with a mixture of amusement and something else as he stepped aside to allow her entrance.“I’ve been having a fascinating conversation with lover boy,” he said softly as she entered his compact and neatly organized apartment.She was both curious and hesitant to know the topic of this fascinating conversation was.&nbs
