Chapter Two - Part XVI: What Could Have Been

         Nova fought the anesthetic that had just been released into his hand for as long as he possibly could. His head swam and his vision started to distort and blur as the seconds passed, and he could feel his eyes grow too heavy to keep open anymore. He noticed right away that his consciousness was lingering, even as the effects of the drug continued to intensify—he could feel his torso and limbs going numb as the powerful sedative made its way to his heart and the rest of his body. He fully relaxed and exhaled just a few seconds later, and he felt a soft mask cover his mouth and nose almost immediately after that. It firmly pushed itself into position when Jarah released her grip; the edges of it dug into his skin just enough to make the seal airtight. A rush of dry sterile-tasting oxygen was pushed into his mouth and down into his lungs shortly thereafter—he didn't realize he'd stopped breathing until the ventilator started to do it for him. The blood pressure cuff began to squeeze his arm at the same time, and for a few long moments, he simply relished in his partial consciousness.

          I don't even have to fucking breathe... Nova thought drowsily. It was euphoria unlike he'd ever known, to surrender completely to a machine to breathe for him, all while fully aware of it. I can just lay here and enjoy it...

          He wanted to moan as he felt his legs being lifted into the stirrup-like fixtures he'd seen before being anesthetized, but he couldn't—he was completely paralyzed. Before he could really register that fact, he felt something sticky and round pressed in place on his belly, and he found himself awash in a wave of arousal so smothering and intense, it was difficult to think about anything else.

          When she was done, he heard the low hum of a device activating somewhere behind his head, and it prompted him to shift his focus to the ambient sounds of the surgical theatre. While Jarah prepared the next two infusions, he listened intently to the baritone beep of the heart monitor and the gentle hiss of the mask on his face. He noticed that his heart rate was quite a bit slower than his normal resting range, but Jarah didn't seem to care, so neither did he.

          He heard the muffled snap of his attendant pulling on a pair of gloves, and then he felt the long fingers within those gloves delicately part his labia and insert themselves deep inside his vaginal canal. It was in that moment that he remembered that his attendant wasn't human—but he found himself strangely nonplussed, even despite what he now knew about the Daxut. He felt himself become wet to accommodate her and the tube she began to ease inside of him, and he wanted to squirm and sigh in pleasure, but again—he couldn't.

          The next thing he felt was the soft prongs of the infuser pressed firmly against his belly. The sensation of the coolish fertility potentiator as it seeped into his reproductive organs followed right after, and then he felt something warm and wet exit the tube pressed against his uterine wall. He found himself wanting to climax right then and there when he realized what was happening.

          He could feel his heart speeding up shortly after that. Another round of the fertility drugs were released into his lower abdomen, and as it seeped through his skin, he could feel his insides start to tense and release at random. The sample that had been inserted started to jerk around as well, and even though the ventilator was still breathing for him, he started to feel like he was suffocating.

          Jarah promptly removed the insertion tube, shoved her leg up against his opening, and applied firm pressure to his belly. Nova's consciousness started to lapse as he slipped into cardiac arrest, but he could still feel and hear everything happening around him. She continued to press into him harder than before, even despite the screeching flatline.

          When Jarah released her grip, the sample inside of him had stabilized into an egg, and he suddenly became aware of how still it was in his body, specifically in his chest. His brain screamed for him to panic, but the meds he'd been given didn't allow it.
