Oh, hell no—so not happening. She would take her probiotics the Earth way, thank you very much. She didn’t need some alien creature sliming its way through her digestive tract.
But of course, she couldn’t say all that aloud, so she simply shook her head and pushed the dish firmly away.
“Thank you but I’ll pass.”
To her relief, Brandt gave a curt shake of his head as well.
“Alexandra and I will abstain from this course.”
“Very well, but you don’t know what you’re missing.” Dr. TOo-loo shook his head regretfully. “There’s nothing quite so comforting as a freshly cleaned colon, thanks to the cleaners.”
However, he didn’t try to push the slimy translucent worms on them again, for which Lexi was glad. She very much preferred to leave her colon alone.
After both Dr. TOo-loo and T’linga had both swallowed several of the cleaner worms apiece, they moved on to the next course, which was something that looked like bright blue mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the texture was gluey, and the taste was so bitter it coated her tongue. Lexi forced a polite smile and swallowed quickly, chasing it with a sip of sparkling water that tasted faintly of violets to get rid of the taste. It definitely wasn’t anywhere near as good as the mushroom steak or the nuts, but at least it wasn’t alive like the worms.
Finally, dessert arrived—platters piled high with luminous fruit. Some were pale pink globes that glowed softly, others were deep crimson, spiked with delicate crystal-like leaves.
Lexi reached for a pink one, surprised when it pulsed faintly against her palm, like a heartbeat. She peeled away the thin skin to reveal tender translucent blue flesh beneath, slick with juice. The first bite made her give a surprised moan of pleasure—it was sweet as honey, as tart as raspberries, and it had a creamy finish that melted on her tongue. It was, without a doubt, one of the best things she’d ever eaten.
“Oh wow,” she murmured. “These are incredible.”
She ate another, and then a third crimson fruit, juice running down her fingers as she sucked them clean. She was halfway to grabbing a fourth when T’linga leaned close and whispered:
“Be careful, my friend. Too many Pleasure Fruits and you’ll give yourself nectar fever.”
Lexi froze, hand hovering over the platter.
“Nectar fever?” she asked, frowning. “What’s that?”
“It makes the breasts ache and swell, and the nipples tingle most uncomfortably. At least until they are relieved,” T’linga explained. “A Collector’s dream, but a Milker’s torment. It also gives other symptoms…down below.” And she nodded at her lap pointedly.
Lexi’s hand shook as she put the fruit back down. That was the last thing she needed!
“Right. Okay. No more fruit,” she said, hoping she hadn’t already overdosed herself.
But even as she tried to compose herself, she realized her breasts were already prickling. Her nipples throbbed in time with her racing pulse, and there was an ache between her thighs.
What’s happening to me? she thought, panic mixing with a shameful wave of heat. Why do I feel like I’m about to burst?
There were no answers and she was too afraid to ask her questions out loud.

“Come,” T’linga said with a bright smile. “Before we take you into the Bacillus Garden, you’ll need to change.”
It had been decided that after dinner—or “Last Meal” as the Kindred called it—that they would go take a walk in a special garden where the Bacillus Aurum were known to be concentrated in large numbers. Lexi hadn’t had any say in the matter—it had been agreed on by Dr. TOo-loo and Dr. Brandt.
“Change into what?” Lexi asked warily. Her blouse was still hanging open, her breasts bare and throbbing, her nipples stiff from the clamps Brandt had only just removed.
“We’ll use these again later,” he informed her as he took them off. The sudden rush of blood to her nipples, which had been clamped all during dinner, made Lexi gasp and he’d spent some time tugging and massaging her tight tips—which only made the ache growing between her thighs worse. Now she was standing in T’linga’s room—a pleasant place filled with flowers—and looking for something to wear to the park.
“Try this on, dear friend.”
T’linga presented a folded garment of silky lavender fabric which was almost the same color as her skin. Lexi took it gingerly and unfolded it, her mouth falling open.
It wasn’t really a dress. More like…a drape. Two wide panels of silk looped over her shoulders and fell down her front. There were holes cut in the fabric for her breasts, leaving them completely bare and exposed. The lower half was a kind of skirt, slit high at the thighs, exposing her legs almost to the hips. In between, a narrow, see-through strip of fabric barely hid her pussy, offering no real coverage at all.
