Dr Aspel's Lecture [older female protagonist][colony creature][shellfish monster][seaweed monster][public exposure][low key steampunk setting][ masturbation]
Masturbating while standing naked in front of a full length mirror with a first edition of 'Encyclopedia De Monsteris' balanced on her head Dr Aspel recited her carefully prepared lecture out loud. Her usually strong voice quivered a little as her hands worked at the swollen flesh between her thighs.
It was important that she would be able to give a coherent presentation even in the most distracting circumstances. Her future career depended on it and she had been practicing every night for a full month.
She watched the woman in the mirror struggle to speak calmly with two fingers hooked between the damply enflamed fleshy lips of her vaginal mouth and the humming tip of an elongated tubular brass vibratory mechanism playing across her erected clitoris with maddening ferocity. The carefully balanced book ensured she maintained an upright posture. If it fell she would begin her speech from the start once more.
The vibrational device was ruthlessly effective at pleasuring her. She had learned how and where to apply it and at which of it's three oscillating speeds in order to keep her body at the brink of ecstasy though not convey the relief she was quite ready to beg for.
The woman in the mirror was in her early fifties with the lean weathered build of a committed outdoorswoman. Her forearms, face and neck were tanned but her legs and torso were pale. Her smallish breasts sat wide apart on her chest. The dark pink domes of her nipples were flushed and rigid with stimulation. The flesh of her right hip was heavily scarred from a decade old encounter with an angry water horse. Her hazel hair was shot through with grey and hung carelessly loose to her shoulders. Her sun toughened skin glistened with perspiration from her intimate exertions.
Dr Aspel finished running through her presentation for the fifth time that evening. She was sweating with the effort of it. As she gazed into the eyes of her reflection she realized that she had never seen herself reach an orgasm before she had begun preparations for this lecture.
Of course she had experienced a great many orgasms in her life and was not shy about providing them herself when suitable company was not available but prior to recent weeks she had never watched herself.
She held her own gaze and saw her face twist in an involuntary grimace of ecstasy that was so close to pain she wasn't sure she knew the difference. The warm slick metal of the vibrator nudged firmly into her cleft and she forced herself not to close her eyes as the sensations became unbearable.
The book slipped from her head and landed noisily on the floor.
Dr Hortense Aspel had at one time been a respected member of the Royal Institute Of Explorers. She had published many learned papers and had been a much sought after speaker for social events.
That was before she had announced discovery of a miraculous creature which she claimed hailed from Atlantis. It wasn't so much her sensational claim that damaged her reputation rather it was the details of how she discovered the creature in the waters off the Greek coast and how she had spoken with it during that first meeting.
The lurid details of her encounter with the purportedly Atlantean beast had been refused publication by the respectable scientific press but had been picked up by a number of insalubrious penny dreadfuls. The cheap horror pulps had not only printed her story but illustrated it with shockingly graphic art that depicted Dr Aspel as some scantily clad full bosomed wanton.
She had become a laughing stock, accused of delusion and falsehood. At fifty one years of age she found herself cast out of the academic circles that had been her entire life for decades.
She had been left only one opportunity to redeem her reputation and regain her former position. That opportunity was in the form of a lecture to the august ranks of the Society itself. She would have the chance to demonstrate that her discovery, and the manner of it, was nothing less than the unvarnished truth.
Two days later and she was standing on stage at the headquarters of the Royal Institute. She had stood on that dark wooden stage many times in her career but she could not remember ever being so nervous.
She was dressed in a high necked blouse of starched mint green cotton and a long skirt of charcoal wool. She much preferred the practicality of trousers but the skirt would be convenient for her purposes tonight. Her hair was worn in a neat bun and there was a straw boater upon her head.
Despite her damaged reputation she looked entirely respectable. Alongside her on stage was a glass aquarium of murky seaweed. The glass tank was as large as a travelling trunk but not so big as to suggest it held anything of great interest to those expecting a sea monster.
The gaslights at the front of the stage made it hard for Dr Aspel to see out into the audience for which she was grateful. She knew if she could see them she would recognize many faces from the scientific community and the press. The thought caused cold nervous sweat to run down the small of her back and gather at the strap of her brassiere.
The doors to the auditorium closed signalling the start of her lecture and the audience grew quiet in anticipation.
Dr Aspel walked to the front of the stage, her stout leather boots loud on the waxed oak boards.
"Gentleman, ladies, esteemed colleagues thank you for your attendance. I ask one thing of you this evening: your patience.
I have no doubt what I will show you will convince you of the truth of my discovery but the means of showing you this will be shocking. I will not prevaricate or attempt to talk you into belief, I will simply show you. All I ask is that you are patient and bear witness without judgement until my demonstration is concluded."
The audience did not respond apart from a few barely suppressed laughs from the darkness.
"Those of you familiar with my account and the unfortunately salacious renderings of it in the press will know that in order to demonstrate my discovery I shall have to expose my body to you. Please do not be shocked by this and understand I do this only in the strictest pursuit of science."
Dr Aspel's long fingered hands trembled a little as she faced the audience and began to unbutton her blouse.
"I first encountered the creature entirely by accident whilst bathing in the sea. At first I had no idea what manner of creature it was."
She folder her blouse and placed it neatly atop a stool by the glass tank. There were a few gasps and laughs from the audience as she reached back to unclasp her brassiere.
She did her best to conceal her embarrassment as her breasts were exposed sagging slightly on her chest as her brassiere came free. She placed the undergarment atop her folded blouse. Her back was shiney with sweat gleaming in the stage lights as she turned.
With one bare arm she reached into the tank and carefully extracted a large limpet like shellfish.
The creatures shell was a greenish colour and rose up to a whirled point. At it's base it was perhaps three inches across. She held the glistening shellfish towards the audience turned so they could see it's slimy muscular foot and the rasping pinkish tongue that emerged from the underside of the shell.
"Whilst I was bathing a shellfish such as this latched onto a delicate portion of my anatomy. Like so."
She held the shellfish over the swollen dome of her puffy right nipple. The audience gasped as the creatures fleshy pink foot reached out and affixed itself to the vulnerable nipple. Dr Aspel bit back a groan.
"You will have noted the large radula or tongue of the creature, it is now employing this to stimulate my nipple while the creatures muscular foot both secures it firmly to my breast and simultaneously applies a twisting motion to the tissues of my nipple and areaola."
"It's twisting her tit!" laughed one of the journalists.
"Crudely put but essentially correct." responded Dr Aspel. "It is stimulating me with both pain and pleasure."
"The old duck is enjoying it!" called another voice.
"Gentleman I requested your patience, kindly hear me out." chided Dr Aspel. She continued.
"It is no coincidence that on our first encounter the creature found purchase on my nipple. I was bathing naked at the time so was somewhat vulnerable but the creature was very specific in it's point of attack. My nipples are extremely sensitive..."
"I recall." commented a voice from the audience. It was met with laughter.
Dr Aspel ignored it and resumed speaking.
"You will see my left nipple has become quite swollen and congested in sympathy with the torments visited on it's companion but it too must suffer."
Dr Aspel returned to the murky tank and extracted a second shellfish. She held it up so the audience could see the squirming mouthparts of the sea mollusc. Then she applied it to her left nipple. It latched hungrily on.
With the two creatures rasping, sucking and twisting at her engorged nipples and the weight of the creatures pulling down her breasts Dr Aspel's voice tightened with strain. She was glad of her weeks of practice in front of the mirror.
"Oh, it looks so horrid, it must be agony for you." someone called from the audience. They sounded more excited than sympathetic.
Dr Aspel composed herself visibly and fought the urge to cup her breasts to at least support the weight of the shellfish hanging from her chest.
"There is pain but also pleasure. At first I thought the creatures were attacking me in mindless hunger. I thought them to be simple, if unusually aggressive, molluscs. I later learned that the stimulation is applied to forge a link with my nervous system. The point of connection is at sites with a multitude of nerve endings."
She gestured to the tank. It was lit by the stage lights and the audience could now see movement in the murky water although there appeared to be nothing in the tank save dark fronded sea weed and a number of the limpet like shellfish.
"The...ahh..the creatures are now employing their radula upon the ..oh...the very tips of my nipples.." shuddered Dr Aspel as she gripped the edge of the tank for support.
Inside the tank the shellfish and seaweed appeared to be moving sluggishly together. A shape was forming in the water. Bulges of seaweed splashed fitfully upwards out of the tank.
"As I...as I said the purpose of the creatures stimulating me in this way is to forge a link from which they draw information. Such a link requires a close and intimate physical connection."
The audience gasped again as Dr Aspel began unfastening her skirts.
"I ask for your continued forbearance as we must take things further."
Dr Aspel removed her skirt, petticoats and bloomers. She now stood on stage in nothing save her boots, stockings, straw boater and the monstrous shell fish latched to her breasts.
The torturous attentions of the molluscs grinding and twisting on her nipples did at least distract her from the embarrassing spectacle she was making.
She reached into the now churning waters of the tank and brought out a third shellfish. It's serrated radula flailed in the air.
Dr Aspel steeled herself then leaned backwards moving her feet apart and using the fingers of her free hand to spread the thick fleshy folds of her labia.
"You will note the excessive fluid secretions from my vaginal opening. The creatures on my nipples are stimulating me to a heightened state of arousal..."
"Looks like the filly was put away wet." called out someone but they were ignored for everyone was intent on Dr Aspel. She was clearly struggling now, her voice cracked with strain breaking into half moans between her words.
"My aroused state is considerably more intense than I would usually experience during intimate activity. Even from your vantage point you can see my clitoris is unnaturally large with engorgement..."
Dr Aspel flinched as warm fluid dripped sluggishly from between her legs to the stage floor. The soft wet slap of it was audible over the bubbling from the tank.
The audience was transfixed with a mix of curiosity, prurient interest and horror as Dr Aspel held the third shellfish over her clitoris and let it latch on.
The creatures grasped her pubic mound with it's muscular foot. Dr Aspel groaned deeply and staggered almost falling.
"The..the..it..the creature has my ..my clitoris in it's mouthparts and is applying...stimulation.. rolling, twisting, manipulations, the radula is whipping across my organ .... all to further strengthen the neuro psychic bond...aah..my apologies it is difficult to..ohh...to maintain my decorum ...we are nearing the final stages of connection.."
Her hands fluttered desperately in the air as she fought the urge to claw at her own body.
"Dr Aspel." called a stern voice from amidst the auditorium crowd. "So far all we have seen is you disporting yourself obscenely with admittedly large but common sea creatures. Where is this Atlantean beast you boast of?"
"I asked for your..nnnhh... patience Sir and it shall soon be..aaahhh.. rewarded."
Dr Aspel walked with some difficulty over to the tank. Her inner thighs were wet with her juices now and her breath was coming in gasps. She grasped the edge of the aquarium and pulled herself astride it, her thighs pulled wide open above the murky fluids of the tank.
Knotted tendrils of dark seaweed rose like serpents from the waters. They slid unerringly up between Dr Aspel's open thighs. She cried out along with the audience as the seaweed tendrils pushed inside her body.
"You will ...uhhhh... see that the weeds have penetrated my..mu..my.... vaginal and ..uhhhh..rectal passages, they are deep..uhh.. deep inside me..this is to maximize the area of contact while...nnnhhh.. simultaneously providing maximum stimulation. Despite the appearance and the affect on my person this is ....is not a s...sss..sexual act in the conventional sense. Forgive me but I shall reach my climax shortly I...I...that will signify completion of the connection."
"What connection? What with?" called someone.
Dr Aspel whimpered as a thin strand of seaweed began to explore her urethra. The briney water stung her delicate internal membranes. She writhed atop the tank gripping the edges for support as she fought to continue speaking.
"The creature I..aaahhhh.. encountered was a colony creature made up of...of... numerous organisms. The individual components...nnnnhh.. appeared quite mundane. Aahhh...oh please...give me a moment...aaah..the ..the creature only reveals itself as an ..aaah. intelligence after forming a link with ....with...oh god...oh..not there...oh..forming a link ...a link...with another intelligent species.."
She dissolved into semi orgasmic sobs quite at odds with her usual calm public demeanour. Her pubic cleft was now a mass of twirling green seaweed, the giant shellfish was moving on her clitoris. The audience looked on in shock. Something was rising from the waters of the tank. Dr Aspel managed to regain her voice.
"It ...it takes on the form...ahh... form of the other species to better facilitate communication...I'm sorry I cannot...I cannot...oh please...ahhh...please .."
Dr Aspel fell backwards supported by thick streamers of seaweed wound around her shaking legs. She continued to make incoherent sounds of pleasure but the audience was fixated on the creature that had now risen from the tank.
It stood as tall as Dr Aspel although only it's upper body was visible above the water. That body was composed of dark green seaweed wound thickly about shellfish embedded in the mass. It was recognizably humanoid with arms ending in weed tendrils, a torso and a head. It's face was a mass of kelp with the mouth formed from the outward facing underside of one of the shellfish.
Dr Aspen continued to spasm in ecstasy.
"Would ...you...take...over...please..." she managed to say between moans.
The audience wondered who she was talking to. Then, to their shock, the seaweed creature spoke.
It's voice was a damp rustle but it spoke perfect elegantly phrased English. It's accent was similar to Dr Aspel's.
"Thank you for the introduction Dr Aspel. Now do your colleagues have any questions?"
There was a long moment of shocked silence from the audience. The quiet broken by Dr Aspel's shuddering cries of pleasure. Then the room erupted into questions.
