Red Sea

It was a statement that was ambiguous, neither praise nor slander. Jake nodded without denying it, urging Kashan and speaking as if pleading with him.

“Yeah, so… huff, do it one more time…”

[I understand.]

Kashan replied briefly. Soon, a sound resembling the scream of an old man echoed through the cave.

*

The belly grew day by day. The bulging lower abdomen clearly suggested that he was undergoing a transformation. Jake no longer felt uncomfortable living in a state of undress. The only evidence that he had once belonged to civilization was the dog tag, discarded on the cave floor, covered in dust, occasionally glimmering faintly.

“Ugh…, more, harder….”

Indeed, it was best when the wet Kashan squeezed with strength. No matter how much he tried to mimic his movements with his hands, it only made his body heat up awkwardly, causing more suffering. Jake moaned, nestled in Kashan’s embrace, exposing his chest as he caught his breath. The amount of milk had increased, and he felt a frequent pulling sensation in his lower abdomen, suggesting that laying eggs was imminent.

It had been almost a few months since the eggs were implanted, so it wasn’t strange at all. Rather, since the day the eggs were implanted, he had engaged in relations daily, even taking two at a time, pushing his body to its limits. Yet, without any issues, he had safely nurtured the eggs inside him.

The positive feelings about laying eggs had even developed into affection for this pleasurable being. The entire process was closer to the brain rationalizing and preventing him from disliking an important entity for survival, but Jake, unable to maintain normal thought, could only demand relations from Kashan.

“It seems like… the time to lay eggs is approaching…. My belly is… not really hurting, though.”

All the changes brought about by this alien subtly stimulated the sensations of the body while delicately straying from the realm of pain that humans could feel. It was different from the discomfort felt when having a stomachache or digestive issues. There was a tingling sensation in the lower abdomen, a pulling and itchy feeling. This sensation repeated several times a day, and during those moments, he had to be calmed by Kashan’s alien member.

As the time for laying eggs drew closer, Jake’s demands for relations significantly increased. It was almost an exaggeration to say he had been keeping Kashan’s member in his rear constantly.

[It will probably take a few days.]

Kashan said calmly. Despite the impending day of his offspring’s birth, his tone remained unchanged as always. Seeing that he didn’t seem pleased at all, Jake asked, puzzled.

“Aren’t you… happy? Am I the only one excited? It’s your child being born.”

[Isn’t it a natural thing? Since I implanted the eggs in you, laying them is a predetermined event unless something unusual happens.]

“Really, I can’t understand your way of thinking.”

No matter how much affection he felt and positive emotions he had, there still seemed to be an insurmountable barrier between humans and Thermo. Jake shook his head, saying it was enough, and stroked his swollen belly. It was both tense and pleasurable. As the laying day approached, he couldn’t calm down. It felt as if someone was continuously playing a joyful melody in his head, keeping him in an emotionally elevated state.

Kashan stayed in the cave, supervising until Jake laid the eggs. Since the human demanded insertion at any time and it was impossible to know exactly when the laying would occur, he had to stay close. Not only that, but once the eggs were laid, he also had to create a space to provide heat to the eggs until they hatched. The initial seed needed a suitable temperature between 30 to 40 degrees to grow into eggs, but once the mature eggs were expelled from the host’s body, the story changed. They had to be maintained at nearly boiling temperatures for several days for a new entity to safely emerge from the eggs.

Thus, Kashan headed deep into the cave, where Jake could not reach. He had to prepare a place to keep the eggs near the unyielding heat source located inside the cave. The sight of multiple hands busily shaping stones and carrying dirt to create a place for the eggs was a wondrous scene.

Once all preparations were complete, the giant returned to Jake, frequently rubbing his belly and squeezing the milk from his chest to help him expel the eggs quickly. Upon realizing that humans liked to lick the milk that flowed from his chest, he developed a habit of licking the squeezed milk. After all, the newborn Thermo would not be a creature that grew by drinking milk, so the milk flowing from Jake’s chest was entirely Kashan’s.

With the preparations made, the day of laying eggs was approaching. Jake felt the eggs wriggling inside and suddenly sat up from his sleep. To be precise, the egg sac was constantly pressing the eggs inside, preparing to expel them.

“Ugh…!”

As soon as Jake got up, he grabbed Kashan’s arms and body, bowing his head deeply. There was no way to stop the changes that had begun inside him. Realizing that the laying had started, Kashan immediately made a place for Jake to lie comfortably and spread his legs to allow for proper expulsion of the eggs. Between his legs, which were spread wide in an M shape, a large human member hung limply, waiting for the eggs to emerge.

“Ah…! Ah…! Ka, Kashan…! Ugh…!”

It was a procedure fundamentally different from a human giving birth. As the egg sac gradually opened, Jake’s eyes widened, and his mouth gaped. The forcibly opened entrance, stretching to its limit, naturally accompanied pain, even if that organ was a place that clung to his body like a parasite. Thus, the strategy chosen by the parasitic organ was to stimulate hormones. As much as possible, the entrance of the egg sac opened, and various hormones were released to alleviate the pain of laying eggs.

Jake’s member became rigid, as if it were about to pierce his belly, just like when he was being roughly penetrated. He felt such intense pleasure that he couldn’t swallow his saliva properly and couldn’t make a sound, trembling as he gripped Kashan’s body tightly. Although the egg sac had been invaded by an alien member before, it had never been as large in diameter as his member. This was the first time the egg sac had opened this wide.

“Haah, ugh, ah…! Ah, huff, ugh…! Ah…!”

Shaking his head from side to side and rubbing against the sandy bed, Jake writhed. Half of the eggs were already preparing to exit the egg sac. Sweat poured from Jake’s body like rain. Each time the egg sac twitched and pushed the eggs out, a clear liquid dripped and squirted from the tip of his member.

The only thing Kashan could do for him was to hold his legs apart firmly. He tried to massage the tense parts of Jake’s body with multiple arms to help him relax, but it seemed to have little effect.

“Ugh…, huff, ugh, ah, ah…!”

With his face and neck turning as red as if they would burst, Jake made whimpering sounds. As the eggs completely exited the egg sac, his swollen belly deflated. Gradually, they began to push out, widening the inner walls. The eggs, which had once been similar in size to a chicken egg when Kashan first implanted the seed, had now grown to the size of a fist inside him.

With a squelching sound, a slick, black egg covered in fluid emerged between his white buttocks. As the red membranes opened wide, Jake finally succeeded in laying a Thermo egg.

The thick, muscular belly was drenched in the semen he released while laying the eggs. Feeling a pleasure so intense that it made every hair on his body stand on end for over 30 minutes, he felt completely drained. Exhausted, Jake lay there, unable to even think of closing his spread legs, barely managing to breathe in and out.

He had no strength left in his body. He felt more fatigued than after several hours of intense exercise. Yet, he couldn’t help but smile broadly, unable to stop the muscles in his face from curling up. At the moment of laying, the pleasure surged to its peak, and he experienced an ecstasy more intense than any joy he had felt in his life. Jake gasped, sobbing, and closed his eyes.

[Rest well.]

Without saying a word, Kashan, who had been watching him lay the eggs safely, finally spoke. He took the freshly laid egg and brought it to the heart of the cave. This was a measure to prevent the egg from cooling down. The black egg, touching the warm heart, was hard and elongated. Kashan took the egg deep into the cave and safely placed it in the prepared heat source. He also made sure to cover the egg with dirt to keep it warm enough to hatch. Now, all that was left was to wait for the new entity to break free from the egg on its own.

“Ugh…, ughhh….”

It was impossible to keep climbing to the peak forever; eventually, one must come down. Exhausted from the intense exertion, Jake curled up, making moaning sounds. Although his body was transformed by the Thermo, laying eggs did not harm him as much as a human birth would, it was still an act that consumed energy. Fortunately, he was a retired soldier, so despite his age, he was much healthier than the impoverished people who had grown up without proper food.

However, now that the concentrated assault of hormones had ended, all that remained after the boundless joy was a fall. As the hormones that induced pleasure, including endorphins, rapidly decreased, Jake fell into despair. In a shallow sleep, his emotional fluctuations intensified, leading to nightmares.

“Ugh…, ah….”

Tears glistened in the eyes of the middle-aged man shaking his head as if in denial. In his dream, he was being abandoned. Now that he had laid the eggs, he was being thrown out of Kashan’s cave, as if he had served his purpose. The thought of being discarded for not being useful felt more horrifying than physical threats like body mutations or dying from an incurable disease on an alien planet. He had left the military for semi-forced reasons and was already a discarded trader from another planet. Being deemed worthless and thrown away was a significant trauma for Jake.

“No… I, I was wrong….”

Muttering as he flailed his hands in the air, Jake’s face was genuinely sorrowful. Upon seeing Jake’s pitiful expression, Kashan, puzzled by this unfamiliar human reaction, took his hand. The moment their hands met, he felt an incredible grip that made it hard to believe he was holding a sleeping human.

[What do you mean you did something wrong? You did everything you were supposed to do. You did well, so rest easy.]

The only comfort the alien could offer were these stiff words. Yet, there was sincerity in them that surpassed any other comfort. The Thermo were a race that did not lie, and as Jake, half-asleep, heard Kashan’s voice, his frowning face gradually softened. Even though he couldn’t understand what was being said, the mere fact that he could hear his voice brought him great relief. The rumbling sound of the alien became the best lullaby for the sleeping human.
