The cycles came and went, transferring from one paradise to the next. Before I’d said I couldn’t imagine being on vacation for 50 years unless I had Eve at my side to enjoy it with her. Now, however, I knew I could live on these stations for 50 years easily. Every next station was an even greater paradise than the last; some were like tropical islands, some had manipulated gravity, some were like their own civilizations, others still had all kinds of scenery that was all so wildly enticing—there was even a snow paradise, and somehow the pleasant chill outside never seemed to bother you while walking around, warmed by some space-age nonsense I’ll never understand. My favorite station was definitely Dream-7 where the gravity was altered so we could all straight-up fly through the air—my every Superman fantasy fulfilled. We barely even did activities on that station, spending most of the time playing games in the air, chasing each other around, even reenacting some fights from the Superman movies, and all our punches were cushioned—like in a dream. Eve and I also enjoyed fooling around while flying, fucking at the top of the ceiling beyond some luminescent clouds—that was a real dream fulfilled.

  We made a few more friends along the way, even reconnected with Kurgg and Nadresh at another station. We decided to tell them how our ‘company’ signed us up for the Bliss-Indulgence tour and we had no idea we’d be going through the Hedonism stations, and while they were horrified initially, they ended up finding the situation quite humorous.

  “Glorva Corp is king when it comes to leisure and relaxation, but some people prefer to indulge in their perversions while they’re on vacation, so there’s definitely a market for it.” Nadresh confirmed.

  “In all your time vacationing in the Holisita Nebula you never…?” I left the question hanging.

  Both Nadresh and Kurgg seemed quite grossed out over the idea, “Absolutely not. My dear boy, love should be protected and maintained privately between two partners” Kurgg confirmed.

  Nadresh held Kurgg’s chubby hand in hers, “My husband is all I’ll ever want, and I should hope I’m all he’ll ever want. People should be free to explore their desires, but when it comes to love I think it should be exclusive.”

  Eve clapped excitedly and trilled a little giggle, “Oh I absolutely agree! Wonderful to meet such likeminded people.”

  Yet despite her saying that, Eve the deviant was still interested in pursuing the exhibition kink with me. She was adamant we’d never swap or swing, never touch anyone else, but involving people as an audience was fine with her. She wanted to get weird with it, and I had to admit I was getting a little excited for it myself.

  Back on Earth I didn’t do much to explore my kinks or fetishes except my own private research on the internet—my degenerate porn folders Eve discovered and brought up frequently. But those private desires were different from actually acting them out with another person; it took a lot of vulnerability to be so open with someone to tell them what all fantasies you had in your head, and honestly I never felt that safe with anyone on Earth—not even my fiancée way back in another life. But I did feel safe with Eve for the most part, and I was willing to be open and vulnerable with her—explore our weird sides together.

  We were on the last cycle before we’d be transferring to Hedonism-36, so Eve felt it was a good time to start involving our suite’s androids while we were fooling around to prepare us for the rampant decadence of public nudity and sex that awaited us. At first it was a little jarring to have sex with someone else watching, but I found I got used to it rather quickly—although it could’ve been because they were just androids. Still, Eve ordered them to cheer us on at one point, and the droids followed through diligently, offering strangely regular praise about how much we appeared to love each other, how good our technique was, how attractive we both were. They seemed like automated responses—as though the androids had some voyeur/exhibition kink protocol established, but even if they were robots, having someone else talk while we were having sex was rather distracting, although I overcame it with practice. After that Eve again wanted to push things forward, telling the androids to get involved with each other while watching us; it was then I was able to see what all the androids were capable of, and clearly Glorva Corp designed the bots to be able to pleasure people same as any person could—or better I would guess. The droids started making out with each other at first, but after a time they got fully involved with themselves to the point they had a six-bot orgy together, which was definitely distracting just for how novel it all was.

  By the time we were halfway through the cycle I felt I was prepared enough to perform in front of an audience thanks to the training with Eve and the androids, and strange as it might sound I even found the idea of being watched quite thrilling; turns out Eve really knew me after all, knew what all weird stuff I desired, even unlocked a new kink for me I’d never really considered for myself before. I suppose that was part of the fun having a partner you felt so safe with, opening up to new experiences—even if they were wildly degenerate.

  Eve and I were cuddling in bed together now, naked and exhausted after fucking a couple rounds in a row. The android girls were just kind of hanging around at this point, some still watching us, some staring off into space—their job done, they were just waiting for their next order.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Eve leaned up on my chest, looking into my eyes, “What are you thinking darling?”

  I caught my breath for a few more moments before I answered, “I dunno, just find the whole android thing funny; they’ll do anything we ask, even this degenerate sex stuff. People back on Earth would probably think we’re weird, but sexuality is so free in the Empire no one would think twice about what all we’re doing here.”

  Eve shook her head slowly, “Some sexually repressed prudes might consider us strange, but I think human sexuality is much more open than you think; earthlings have plenty of kinks all their own—including exhibitionism. I think it’s just hard for some people to open up and be vulnerable and admit to what all they fantasize about.” She leaned up to give me a gentle kiss, “So just know you can be vulnerable with me, tell me your wildest fantasies; I’ll fulfill them all.”

  I chuckled but it turned into a sigh, “You’ve opened me up to a pretty big fetish already; exhibitionism—being naked and having sex in front of other people, it’s really wild to think about, but I have to admit it gets me pretty excited now.”

  Eve trilled a little giggle, “It’s not that wild darling, just the tip of the iceberg—the very start of your fall into degeneracy with me.”

  I quirked up an eyebrow and looked down at her, “What do you mean?”

  Eve gave me that look where it seemed like I said something dumb, but she thought I was adorable for it, “Really, Adam, exhibitionism is nothing—a silly mortal kink over a silly mortal hang-up. Remember when I first introduced you to this form? I was naked then in front of you and all the command council. Exposed flesh is nothing to me; the fact people are so concerned with covering their privates constantly is honestly hilarious.”

  Eve seemed so focused on getting me into exhibitionism I was sure it must’ve been something that thrilled her, but it turned out she hardly cared—exposed flesh was nothing to her. Performing in front of an audience was a little different though, but still it seemed like her focus was always on me anyway, so why would she even care if other people watched? I doubted even that would thrill her, so was it really all for my benefit? Something to give me greater thrills? Or was it just a way for her to open the door to more depravity?

  “Forgetting about me, what kind of kinks or fetishes are you interested in?” I asked.

  Again, Eve seemed to find that all amusing, “Adam, the things I’m into aren’t simple kinks or fetishes. I’m a Predazoan; I can make and unmake cellular structures on a whim—biology is my plaything.”

  “Do you even enjoy regular sex with me then? Wouldn’t it be boring?”

  Eve’s expression shifted from amused to surprised, “Of course I enjoy it, why would you even say that? I love human experiences—I love human sex, and I’m obsessed with having sex with you.” She shrugged, “But that’s the human side of me—the part that gives me a sex-drive. But I still am a Predazoan, and while being influenced by my human DNA, I have an exciting mix of new Predazoan desires—an unfathomably deep appreciation for flesh and the pleasure it can give us.”

  “So what about these Predazoan desires? How are they different from your normal human desires?”

  Eve trailed her fingers along my chest, as though to show how much she enjoyed my flesh, “Darling, that’s a side to me you won’t understand for a long, long time. But we’ll have that time together, and as the eons pass so too will the barriers between us.” She sat up more to look in my eyes, “The things we can do together once we’re fully open with each other, we could freely alter our cellular make-up and shift into any form imaginable, we could clone ourselves and have our own endless orgy.” She put a delicate finger against my temple, “I could straight-up mindfuck you; despite what people might think, the largest sex organ in the body is the brain—all pleasure comes from there. I could drill a hole in there and give you endless orgasms, eliminate any refractory period; you could be in a state of endless bliss you would completely lose yourself in.”

  Eve’s words were calm and soothing, tantalizing even. They were also terrifying; this being before me could unmake me so easily, that I always knew, but to hear she thought it would be pleasurable was absolutely horrifying.

  And I didn’t know if I would have the willpower to resist her.

  It seemed she mistook my horror for confusion—my thoughts muddled up and confused so she couldn’t properly sense them, so she continued on as though to explain herself, “This wouldn’t be something I’d imagine you would be comfortable with right away, no. But we’ll have an eternity together, and eventually you will grow and evolve and adapt beyond what it means to be a mere human—you’ll end up as something of a Predazoan hybrid, I imagine. In time you’ll find your cells and flesh are just another extension of yourself that can be freely manipulated—altered like an outfit even. Together we could join our flesh in more bonding ways than just sex, feeling each other’s minds and hearts—our cells living together. We could even share our form if you wanted, completely combine our flesh and pleasure.” Eve shrugged, “We could find some planetoid and assimilate it together, spread our flesh all over, intermingling together—a giant system of nerves and genitals, pleasuring each other endlessly. We wouldn’t just be a living planet, no that would be ridiculous, instead we could be some living fuck-planet, engaged together in an endless symphony of pleasure—our flesh and minds as one.”

  Immediately, I thought I was going to be sick. I quickly got off the bed and braced myself against the fancy marble gazebo-bedframe—my vision darkened I was so dizzy.

  “Adam?” Eve called, her words shifting from that soothing poison to sounding human once again.

  “Are you alright sir?” One of the androids asked.

  I pushed the android away as I went over to the pool. I knelt on the golden tiles to splash water on myself. I’d felt this exact feeling back on Earth when I had my mental breakdown; it felt like I couldn’t breathe—couldn’t catch my breath as I was hyperventilating. My veins were cold as ice as my heart hammered away in my chest. It felt like the entire universe was trying to crush me while I had nothing to hold onto to help brace for impact. It honestly felt like I was about to die—a terrible sense of dread and impending doom without a clear direction where I should flee.

  After so long away from Earth and my mental breakdown, after moving on with my life surrounding myself with great friends and a new love, it felt like I was right back where I started all those Earth months ago; I was having a panic attack.
