The Pods

Riley left Captain Zamir's ready room after completing his debrief, relieved but still slightly flustered. By comparison, he was certainly out of his element when he returned to theNebulaafter leaving the clearing where he found Master. His crew mates quickly deduced that something happened to him and initiated the relevant protocols to maintain the crew's safety. The medical team isolated him and conducted a myriad of scans to ensure Riley was not compromised in any way, such as infections or mind control. However, the team found nothing out of the ordinary other than a change in Riley's physique and signs of him experiencing significant stress, as Master learned of the protocols when probing Riley's mind and masked its changes to Riley perfectly.

When the medical team cleared Riley to resume his duties, he then met Captain Zamir for a debrief of today's assignment. Captain Zamir considered reassigning Riley and sending a team or probe to explore the clearing where Riley fell unconscious, but Riley convinced Captain Zamir to keep him on his original assignment accompanied by Matt and Liam both as extra pairs of eyes and to help investigate the clearing further thanks to their different specialties. Matt was assigned to look at wildlife, while Liam was assigned to look at microorganisms. Riley and Captain Zamir agreed that having them join Riley may help shed light to the riddle of Riley's loss of consciousness and clothes.

Riley did not mind that the mess hall was empty when he arrived, the rest of the crew having already finished their dinner in the previous hour and proceeding with their post-exploration evening routines. Famished, Riley quickly ate his meal then went to his science station to download the data from his scanner. Despite being unconscious for several hours, he still gathered a lot of data, and began analyzing some of it. However, he frequently thought back to the moments before he lost consciousness earlier in the day. The clearing. The large green pods. The red pod-like flowers scattered amongst the large green pods. The animal within one of those pods. He was frustrated with himself that he had not scanned any of the pods, and that he could not recall what happened to him during those missing hours. Seeing that he had caught up with his work for the day and that it was past recommended bedtime, he sighed again and turned off his science station for the night.

When he returned to his cabin, he decided to go have a hot shower to help him relax before going to sleep. Grabbing a towel, pyjamas, and his toiletries, he made his way to the communal showers, nodding to some straggling crew mates returning to their quarters. He did not mind showering in the presence of other people, but tonight he preferred to be alone and was glad that he was. Stripping off his shipboard shoes and skinsuit, he walked beneath one of the shower heads and turned on the water. He closed his eyes and relaxed as the warm water sprayed him from the neck down and wisps of steam began to fill the shower room.

Quickly rinsing his face to help shake off cobwebs in his mind, he grabbed his bar of soap and began lathering himself. After creating suds all over his body, he finally began rubbing the lather onto his cock when he suddenly felt an intense wave of pleasure. Startled, he touched his cock again, this time more gently, yet the feeling still felt strong. He did not know if all the stress he experienced today caused him to be more sensitive, or if that was part and parcel with the physical changes to his genitalia, but he realized it was a welcome distraction.

Riley's cock grew as he stroked himself, relishing the gratifying sensations the friction and pressure between his hand and soapy cock created. He leaned back against the wall and moaned softly as he used his other hand to caress his balls and torso, getting a more thorough feel of his own changed body. As much as he already felt confident about his own body prior to the changes, he liked how his new body looked and felt.

He picked up the pace of jerking off his cock with one hand, eyes closed, as his other hand roamed all over his own body. The familiar pressure of an impending orgasm was growing, and his breathing quickened into short, rasping bursts. His body tensed, he looked down at his cock, and pleasure coursed through his body as he began to cum. He groaned and thrusted his hips forward to each spasm forcing out a thick rope of cum in a high arc, each rope splashing onto the shower floor and quickly being carried away into the drain. He thought he was producing more than ever before, each spurt lasting twice as long as he previously recalled. Where he remembered seeing his cum arc about six times before dribbling out of his cock in previous jack-off sessions, this time he shot ten into the air, pouring then dribbling afterwards to just as many more contractions before no more cum came out.

Riley leaned his head back against the wall as he caught his breath. This orgasm was the most pleasurable and intense he had felt, and it was the most productive in terms of semen quantity, but he felt a slight nag in the back of his mind. He was physically sated, but mentally not yet satisfied. Sighing in frustration, he was thinking that whatever messed him up earlier today had something to do with it, even if it was just making him stressed. Shaking his head, he rinsed the lather off his body, turned off the water, toweled himself dry, put on his pajamas and his indoor shoes, brushed his teeth, and went back to his cabin.

Back in his cabin, Riley did not feel that tired yet despite the day's events. Picking up a book, he propped himself up on his bed and began reading when he thought he heard some noises.That's odd,he thought.These cabins were designed to be quite soundproof.Listening more closely, he first heard the faint hum of the ship's ventilation system circulating air in his cabin, something he realized he never noticed until today. He then picked up other noises, a faint steady thumping rhythm with matching grunts and moans. Riley smiled, realizing someone was having sex in the cabin next to his. Thinking, he further realized that it was coming from Liam's cabin, which likely meant he and Mat were fucking each other.

As soon as that thought passed through Riley's mind, something triggered inside him. He suddenly had an urge to go to them, to join them in their fun. He questioned himself in his head, when suddenly something responded to him inside his head,Master needs you to go to them, you will not regret it.His cock started getting hard, and he got out of bed, determined to confront Liam and Mat. Walking down the corridor, he reached Liam's cabin door and knocked firmly. He couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard one of the men mutter "Fuck" at the interruption. After some fumbling, someone walked up to the door and opened it.

"Riley!" Liam exclaimed softly, surprised to see him, one hand holding a towel wrapped around his waist. "What is it?"

"I, um..." Riley began. "I can't believe I'm feeling sheepish about this now, but I wanted to let you know that I could hear you on the other side of the wall."

Liam's eyes widened, and then he chuckled. "I swear we weren't that loud, at least not compared to the last few days," he replied, grinning from ear to ear. "However, I'm sorry if I woke you up, I know you had a rough day today."

"Oh, no, I wasn't asleep yet," Riley assured Mat. Pausing, he added more softly, "It's just that... well, I... I'm sorry, Liam, may I come in?"

"Sure," Liam said, stepping back and motioning Riley in. Riley stepped into the middle of Liam's cabin as Liam locked the door. "Hi, Mat," Riley said with a small wave when he saw Mat on Liam's bed, partly covered by a blanket.

"Hi, Riley, wasn't expecting to see you here," Mat replied. "Something wrong?"

"Thanks," Riley said to a passing Liam when he noticed Liam offered him a chair on which to sit. "Well, I was just telling Liam that I was able to hear you two a bit going at each other."

Riley looked up at Liam and Mat. The two physically contrasted each other slightly. Whereas Liam was slightly shorter and more muscular, Mat was taller with a more average build. Liam had twinkling emerald eyes, while Mat had piercing brown eyes. Liam had short, flat brown hair, while Mat had some slightly longer blond curly locks.

"Really?" Mat said. "I thought they said the cabins were soundproof. Look, man, we're sorry if we kept you awake..."

"No, you didn't," Riley interrupted Mat, assuring him with a wave of his hand. "It's just that, funny enough, I suddenly am curious about doing things with guys. I'm not sure what exactly got me thinking about that, but here I am. Shit, I realize that I killed your sexy time with each other, but I thought that, of all people on this ship, you were the best people for me to turn to talk about this."

Liam got up to approach Riley, while Mat stretched and laid himself across the bed to be more comfortable. "Hey," Liam said softly as he placed a hand on Riley's shoulder. "We appreciate what you're thinking, and we're happy to know you trust us to talk about this. I know our society is more accepting of non-straight sexualities, but it can still be a struggle for some to come to terms with their sexuality."

Riley noticed that Mat's eyes were closed, and sensed that Liam was looking down at him. Just then, another trigger went off inside Riley, and he looked up, making direct eye contact with Liam, Riley's own eyes suddenly becoming iridescent. Liam was surprised by Riley's sudden change, but he suddenly could no longer think coherently nor move on his own. Instead, he could sense Riley taking control of his body like someone operating a robot remotely. Within a few seconds, Riley had hypnotized Liam, who now just stood, the towel pooling at his feet, waiting for his instructions.

Just as Riley completed hypnotizing Liam, Mat opened his eyes and noticed what was happening. Sensing something was going wrong, he got up and grabbed Riley, intending to subdue him before he did any further harm. Riley surprised Mat, deflecting Mat's movements and attempted grabs despite appearing to be at a slight height and build disadvantage. Riley in turn grabbed one of Mat's wrists and twisted the arm, causing Mat to kneel facing Riley. The two made eye contact, and Riley's eyes were iridescent again. Mat panicked briefly when he could not look away, but that panic quickly melted as Riley's hypnosis affected him. Soon, Mat joined Liam, enthralled and under Riley's control.

Riley sat on the bed and willed Liam and Mat to approach him. Riley had never sucked a cock before, let along touch another naked man, but he now had a strong urge to suck both men's cocks. Grabbing hold of their cocks, he slowly began stroking them, bringing them to life. As the cocks hardened, drops of pre-cum emerged at the tips, as the two men were highly aroused just moments ago. Riley stuck out his tongue and first flicked it on Liam's cock tip, then on Mat's. Riley enjoyed the taste and silkiness of the pre-cum, and immediately took Mat's entire cock head in his mouth to tease more pre-cum onto his tongue. Mat sighed in pleasure, his earlier mild frustration at the interruption to his lovemaking with Liam melting away, and turned of his own volition to kiss Liam.

Riley switched to sucking on Liam's cock head, getting Liam to sigh in turn into Mat's mouth. Liam was a leaker compared to Mat, and pre-cum dribbled into Riley's mouth. Riley was pleased that Liam and Mat were exhibiting desired effects despite his own inexperience. He closed his eyes as he slid Liam's cock deeper into his own mouth. Twirling his tongue up and down and around his cock, toying with Liam's foreskin, Riley savoured the sensation of his mouth filled with a warm, firm manhood and the taste of Liam's pre-cum. He then moved back to Mat's cock and repeated his actions, noting how Mat tasted and felt slightly differently compared to Liam, yet he was still equally enjoyable. Liam's cock was longer than Mat's, but Mat's cock was thicker than Liam's.

Liam and Mat, as much as they were enjoying what was happening, were slightly confused. They knew they had no prior interest in Riley, yet somehow they were going along with what Riley was doing with them. They vividly recall seeing how beautiful Riley's eyes were, and how they assured them he could be trusted with whatever was going to happen. Still, they were not sure as to why Riley was suddenly acting this way, and a small part of their minds was still screaming at them that something is really wrong and they must stop right now.

With both Liam and Mat's cocks at full hardness, another trigger went off inside Riley, and now he had a sudden urge for more pleasure. Stripping himself out of his pajamas and shoes, he stood up to join Liam and Mat in the kissing. He kept his eyes open and willed the other two to look at him, reinforcing their hypnotic thrall as they stroked each other's cocks. Reassured that he still had control over the other two men, Riley laid down on the bed and said, "Let's suck each other."

Despite still having some second thoughts deep within their minds, Liam and Mat joined him in bed, and the three laid in a triangle, Riley sucking Mat, Mat sucking Liam, and Liam sucking Riley. All three hungrily lapped each other's pre-cum as they licked and sucked each other's cocks. Their hands wandered all over each other, fondling balls, caressing legs, and embracing torsos and heads. As Liam sucked Riley's cock, Riley slowly fed him a good mouthful of pre-cum. As Liam swallowed more and more of the fluid, the fluid worked its magic on him and altered his state of mind more strongly than Riley's gaze did. Liam now had a growing desire to get as much sexual pleasure from and with Riley as possible, and wanted to obey Riley to get such pleasure. He could for the moment think of nothing else.

Knowing that Liam was not himself for the moment, Riley shifted position to start sucking Liam's cock again, and motioned for Mat to suck him instead. Mat obliged, but soon he was sucking Riley increasingly enthusiastically as Riley's pre-cum influenced him. Mat suddenly moaned when he felt Liam's lips wrap around his own cock, but he did not let that distract him for more than a second, resuming his hungry sucking of Riley's cock, lapping up all the pre-cum he produced.

Riley sensed it was time to move to the next step. He got on all fours on the bed, looked down at Liam and Mat who were still lying on their sides, and softly said, "Mm, Mat, let me suck your cock some more. Liam, I want you to fuck my ass."

Silently Liam and Mat positioned themselves to do Riley's bidding, thrusting their cocks into him at the same time. Riley didn't know for a moment why he made such a bold request given that he never had prior sexual interest in men, but that thought suddenly disappeared when he felt Liam's cock fill his ass while Mat filled his mouth again. Riley moaned as the two thrust in rhythm to each other so that one cock was inside him when the other was almost completely out. Riley rolled his eyes upward as he enjoyed this new blissful moment. He felt his own cock growing as it swung back and forth to the double-ended thrusting, and grabbed himself and lightly stroked it, teasing a bead of pre-cum out of his cock. If this was his new purpose in life, he certainly had nothing to complain.

After a few minutes of steady thrusting, Liam and Mat quickened their pace and began to pant, hinting to Riley of their impending orgasms. Liam kept rubbing Riley's prostate, teasing more pre-cum out of him, and the constant thrusting had Riley's cock slapping against his own abdomen, smearing the pre-cum all over it. Riley increasingly felt like he was going to choke as Mat thrust harder and seemingly deeper into his mouth but he relaxed his jaw a bit and was able to keep up with Mat.

With coincidental groans, Liam and Mat came. Riley squeezed his asshole more tightly around Liam's cock to keep his cum inside his ass, while at the same time he kept swallowing the spurts Mat left in his mouth. As he received their offerings, his body innately analyzed the specimens, and as the two men with their cocks in him began to relax as the orgasmic waves subsided, Riley was pleased that the results were as he suspected. Liam and Mat were healthy, virile candidates to help Master.

When Liam and Mat pulled out of Riley and collapsed on the bed, Riley made his next move. With Mat lying with his legs dangling over the edge of the bed, Riley got off the bed and stood before him. Lifting Mat's knees to his chest then spreading them apart, exposing his asshole, Riley grabbed his hard cock, placed the cock head at Mat's puckered hole, and thrust into it. Both men groaned as their hips gyrated against each other for a while, then moaned when Riley suddenly started thrusting more quickly. Riley now could only think of one thing: Master needed him to cum inside both of these men.

Riley was already excited from what had transpired so far, and in just a few minutes he made one more thrust, grabbed Mat's legs, kept his cock fully embedded in Mat's ass and let loose a torrent of cum. Intense orgasmic waves washed over Riley, the most intense he had ever felt, yet he was surprised he did not feel winded or exhausted by it. His cock pulsed hurriedly, shooting his seed deep inside Mat's ass where it immediately went to work. The high quantity of cum was a torrent compared to his pre-cum, and Mat's mind went completely blank as the sudden rush of mind-altering chemicals overwhelmed him. Meanwhile, Riley's sperm fused with Mat's body, altering it just enough to let Riley fully control him for a few days, enough time for Riley to bring him to Master to make more permanent changes.

Liam quietly looked on as Riley came inside Mat, languidly stroking his own slowly enlarging cock. Mat tended to top Liam whenever they fucked, so it was a hot treat to see Mat bottoming for someone. Seeing Mat seemingly passing out from this session, Liam smiled. The last time he saw Mat looking so exhausted was when Mat fucked him three times one night back on Earth a few weeks before theNebula's launch.

Liam looked up at Riley as Riley pulled out of Mat, and Riley returned the gaze. They both smiled, not needing words to understand what they wanted. Liam lifted his legs as Riley climbed onto the bed. Kneeling before Liam, Riley grabbed hold of his still-hard cock and aimed it at Riley's ass. As he entered Liam, he leaned forward, forcing Liam's knees against his own chest, resting Liam's feet over Riley's shoulders. Riley began making slow, deep thrusts, causing Liam to let out a breath each time Riley buried his cock to the hilt.

Riley deduced that Liam was more of a bottom and Mat was more of a top, as Liam's asshole did not feel as tight around his cock but it still felt quite snug and very welcoming. He was a bit surprised that he stayed hard despite having cum just a moment ago, but he suspected that was one of the many gifts Master endowed him in exchange for doing everything Master bade. He briefly wondered if he could cum again shortly, only to lose himself again to the pleasure of the moment. Riley shifted Liam's legs from between them so that he could lean closer to Riley and kiss him. Liam returned the kiss passionately, and their tongues lashed each other as Liam wrapped his legs around Riley's waist.

Riley raised the tempo of his thrusting, causing Liam to now moan to each thrust. He noticed that Liam's cock was once again hard and leaking pre-cum, so he grabbed Liam's cock and began stroking it. Liam let out a gasp at the sudden additional feeling of pleasure attacking him, then shuddered and rolled back his eyes when Riley worked his thumb on his sensitive cock head, rubbing his own pre-cum all over it. Riley kissed Liam again, though that only barely muffled the moans coming out of Liam's mouth.
