They were all long and slippery.

Some were so thick that Livia couldn’t even grasp them with one hand, while others were barely the size of her wrist.

Some were slimy with mucus, others hard and angular, and still others sent tingling electric currents through her skin upon contact…

Dozens of ‘tentacles’ enveloped Livia. She flinched and tried to step back, but something like the arm of a cephalopod, which had been wrapped around her waist, tightened its grip, pressing her tightly.

Her body instinctively cringed, but her bound limbs refused to move easily. One by one, the slippery things wrapped themselves around her stiff, startled body, leaving no gaps.

“What are you…! N-no, let go, mmpph!”

Something slimy and slippery wormed its way into Livia’s protesting mouth, entwining her tongue and sweeping across her inner mouth. It was hard enough to bear with her mouth stuffed full to bursting, but as it sucked and teased between her tongue and inner cheeks as if kissing her, her mind went blank.

“Ugh…Huuuh…”

Tears welled up in her eyes as the oppressive thing filled her mouth. Something slightly thicker and stiffer than Triton’s tongue poked and prodded at the inside of Livia’s mouth as if inspecting it.

As she shook her head in protest, the tip of the tentacle split open, releasing a sweet liquid. The sugary fluid flowed down her throat before she could resist.

The moment she swallowed the sweet liquid, her head spun, and her vision blurred.

‘This feeling, it’s strange…’

A strange sensation rose within her as a thick, tingling tentacle rubbed and constricted her entire body. Heat pooled in her lower belly, her n*pples peaked, and helpless whimpers escaped her captured tongue.

Something was strange. It didn’t make sense that she would be aroused by such grotesque things, yet she was becoming aroused as quickly as when she was embraced by Triton. Was it because of the sweet liquid she had just swallowed?

“Huuuh, uh…Ahh…”

Only after Livia’s body went limp did the slimy tentacle that had been entwined with her tongue slip out of her mouth. Then, the wet appendage brushed against her earlobe before trailing down her neck to tease and pinch at her n*pples.

“Haaah…!”

A gasp mixed with a strangled moan escaped her parted lips.

Her mouth was dry, and her entire body felt feverish. Just as she felt as if her insides were burning, two tentacle tendrils that had been crawling over her body reached her br*asts, each grasping and kneading them.

“Haah, ah…Nnnggh!”

She flinched and arched her back, only to have her br*asts squeezed painfully tight. A single tentacle, extending like a snake’s tongue, gently massaged Livia’s br*ast, pinching and twisting her er*ect n*pple.

“Ah, no…”

A jolt of sensation shot through her, and her back arched involuntarily. In this ambiguous space where she couldn’t even tell if she was standing or lying down, Livia was being tossed around like a puppet on strings.

The desire to break free and the pleasure that made her not want to break free coexisted. However, she couldn’t afford to lose herself like this. She hadn’t even seen Triton’s face yet.

‘Where is he?’

She shook her hazy head, trying to find him, but the dozens of tentacles crawling over her body, kneading her as if they had a will of their own, made it impossible to focus.

One of the thicker tendrils slithered up her limp thighs and boldly pushed its way between her skirts.

“N-no, not there…Ugh!”

Startled, she hurriedly tried to close her legs, but because her arms and legs were pinned by other tentacles, she ended up spreading them wider. As her captured limbs were spread wide open, exposing her most private parts, a small tentacle brushed against Livia’s cheek and hair.

The sensation, as if praising her, stroking her hair, reminded her of Triton, filling her with confusion and embarrassment.

The thick, cool tentacle that had claimed the space between Livia’s legs rubbed against her tightly closed s*x, as if licking it.

“Haaah…!”

Livia shuddered and trembled at the chilling sensation.

The feeling of these cool, slimy things constricting her body was strange. Moreover, the blinding darkness amplified her fear.

With all other senses dulled, relying solely on hearing and touch only intensified the stimulation.

‘And what is this scent…?’

A scent like wildflowers soaked in seawater stimulated her sense of smell. The more she smelled it, the more her mouth watered, and her body heated up.

What were these things that were captivating her with both scent and touch…?

Her body trembled involuntarily, sensing that something she had never imagined was about to happen.

“Tri-Triton…Haaah!”

“……”

In the end, she cried out his name in fear, but there was no answer.

However, one thing was certain: Triton was in the same space as her.

Was he watching her from somewhere? Or were these tentacles a part of him? She didn’t know why, but she could sense Triton’s presence in each and every one of these tentacles.

It was the sole reason why this unfamiliar and foreign pleasure didn’t feel entirely unpleasant.

As she thought this, she felt herself growing even hotter between her legs, much to her embarrassment. Fluids pooled within her, leaking out and pushing past her swollen folds.

She flinched and bucked her hips, and as if waiting for this moment, one of the tentacles began to rub against her sensitive core.

Squish, squelch—

“Haaah!”

The tip of the tentacle grazed her swollen cl*t, and as if they had caught a whiff of something enticing, more tentacles flocked to her, spreading her open to investigate her depths.

“Ah! Stop, nnnggh…! Stop it…! This is strange…!”

A thick tentacle, bulbous like a phallus, positioned itself at her entrance, rubbing its tip against her opening. It ground against her relentlessly, and fluids spilled from her, soaking her sensitive folds.

Unbelievably, her body, enthralled by the pleasure these unknown tentacles were giving her, was moving on its own, swaying her hips, preparing to accept them.

“No, I don’t want this…! Not like this…! Triton, Triton!”

As if mocking her denial, one of the tentacles split open like a gaping maw and swallowed her hardened bud whole. A shiver ran down her spine as something hot and wet sucked at her sensitive flesh.

“Haaah!”

Her body was surrendering to the sensations, but she wasn’t ready to accept the tentacles.

If it weren’t for the faint sense of Triton’s presence and the arousal brought on by her own fluids, she would have run away.

Even with her mind muddled by the forced arousal, Livia twisted and writhed, vehemently rejecting the tentacle that tried to push its way into her.

She didn’t want this unknown thing inside her. She hated that she was trembling and aroused like this.

She didn’t want to succumb to pleasure without even seeing him.

You said you would show me the real you, so why won’t you show yourself to me? She hated that he was leaving her alone like this. She wanted to call out to him, to make him watch.

“I don’t want this, Triton…No, please…Not unless it’s you…!”

At that moment, the tentacles that had been meticulously pleasuring every inch of her body stopped.

The space that had been filled with the sound of wet flesh slapping and rubbing against her fell silent. Livia gasped for breath, her blurry vision trying to pierce the darkness.

As a heavy silence descended, she felt someone approaching her in the stillness. It wasn’t the sound of footsteps. It didn’t even feel like a presence. However, she could feel with certainty that he had come close to her.

“Why do you think it’s not me, Livia?”

A voice whispered right next to her ear, and Livia flinched, looking around. Then, a hand reached out from behind her, gripping her br*ast painfully as it whispered.

“Everything here is me.”

A cold hand gently massaged her swollen br*ast, abused by the tentacles. Feeling Triton’s touch instead of the tentacles sent a jolt of pleasure through her sensitized n*pple, far more intense than before.

“Nnngh…Triton, your face, haaah, show me your face…Ugh!”

As if her pleas were meaningless, Triton’s touch turned rough. He pinched and twisted her hardened bud, his voice husky with urgency.

“You have to trust me, Livia.”

“Ah, please…!”

“Just like how I trusted you, even though I knew nothing.”
