Beneath the City

The beast slunk closer to the surface, small eyes squinting hard to see.

“Yeah, people along this street are complaining of pipe blockage.” a voice said, and the beast whipped its’ head towards the sound.

“Yeah, my girlfriend lives right above us. She always comes over now to use my bathroom.” another voice said.

“Yeah, such a problem.” a third voice chuckled. The beast shuddered with anticipation. Three kills? That would keep it fed for a while, it reasoned. It slithered one tentacle up to a higher level and swung itself up, silently creeping down the pipe, and then stopped when it was hanging over the trio of humans. They were entirely oblivious, laughing and chatting.

“Yeah, the sex is great!” one guy chuckled.

Sex? What was that?

“Yeah, tell me about it.” another snorted.

“Well, how the fuck do you know?” the first guy snarled, and the beast dropped down on them. The three men screamed as the beast easily caught one, two, but the third was slippery and it ran. It was moving quickly down the pipe and the beast didn’t want to waste that much energy. The two men it already had were screaming and writhing but the beast had no sympathy.

It tossed one into its’ gaping maw, and held up the other one, and sniffed him thoroughly. The beast detected a flowery scent that made him hungry. But not in the stomach, oddly enough. Flowery scent acquired, the beast ate the second man just as quickly and swallowed him. The beast swung up to the sewer grate and breathed in deeply, and found more of the scent up in the building it could hardly see.

Driven forwards, the beast swung to the pipe beside the grate and wriggled up it towards the scent.

———

The beast had tracked the scent for almost half an hour when it finally saw the owner of the scent. A blond woman, slender but gorgeous. The beast slid straight through the air vent and the woman opened her mouth to scream but the beast flung itself towards her, wrapping one tentacles around her mouth, and hooking another around her waist, and held up the woman near his nose and drank in the scent.

The woman dropped the square black object in her hand and the bigger black cube against the wall flicked on. The best watched it intently.

“Reports are coming in of a massive monster with tentacles resembling a giant octopus in the sewers.” the man on screen said. The woman writhed and the beast flung her angrily into the soft seat. The woman smacked into it, and the beast threateningly hovered over her.

“Why aren’t you killing me?” the woman asked quietly. The beast inclined its’ head. The woman glanced towards the TV.

“Looks like you only killed men.” the woman frowned, and hesitantly reached out. The beast froze, unsure what to do as the woman rubbed its head gently.

The beast nudged its head closer to the woman.

“Well, uh, I’m Lexi.” the woman smiled at the beast, though the beast could still smell her fear.

“Do you... um... talk?” Lexi asked. The beast shook its head.

“Do you understand me?” Lexi asked. The beast nodded.

“Ok. Are you... male?” Lexi asked. The beast considered that. Then, he nodded.

“Do you have a name?” Lexi asked. The beast shook his head.

“Um... ok. How about... Bob? No, that’s stupid. Maybe a play on tentacle? How about Tac?” Lexi asked. The beast was taken aback by just how kind Lexi was towards him. The beast nodded.

“Ok, Tac.” Lexi said uncertainly. Tac appraised Lexi. She had nice breasts on her chest, and curves to her hips, and some bounce to her rear. The humans Tac had killed in the sewers didn’t have those. Tac slid his tentacles across Lexi’s body, and she squeaked. Tac lifted himself up and flopped on top of Lexi, and the human giggled. She wrapped her arms around Tac, and Tac snuggled into Lexi’s touch.

“So... are we friends now?” Lexi asked. Tac nodded. Lexi gave Tac a smile.

“Ok... so... am I allowed to leave this apartment?” Lexi asked nervously. Tac was offended. He angrily shook his head, and Lexi laughed.

“Ok, buddy. I’ll stick with you, then.” Lexi promised.

The next days were spent hanging out with Lexi. Tac was never far from his friend, except for when a visitor appeared. Lexi hid him in her bathtub. Tac was unhappy with that, but he understood Lexi couldn’t be seen with a horrible monster in her home.

And Lexi had a lot of guests. Lots. But whenever they were alone, Lexi snuggled closely to Tac, and he’d begun to become very familiar with the shape of her body. She wore such scratchy clothing, but Tac still enjoyed his friend’s touch. Lexi had just seven days ago allowed Tac to lay in her bed, instead of on the floor where he’d been the first two nights.

Lexi felt much nicer at night. She stripped out of her scratchy clothes and Tac got to see Lexi naked. She was a very beautiful human, and her soft kisses always made Tac very happy. Lexi wore such soft, thin clothes to bed. Tac was happy to wrap his tentacles around Lexi and hold her close to him.

After Lexi’s latest guest left, she walked into the bathroom, and smiled wryly at Tac. Tac pushed himself upright and cocked his head at Lexi.

“Tac, I’m going to take a bath, if you could hop out.” Lexi prompted. Tac scooted backwards so Lexi could fit in the tub. It was quite a large tub, and Lexi looked at Tac intensely.

“You want me to just join you?” Lexi questioned. Tac nodded. Lexi bit her lip.

“You don’t mind water, do you?” Lexi asked as she leaned in to turn on the water. Tac shook his head and watched excitedly as Lexi stripped out of her scratchy clothes and slid into the tub as it slowly filled with water. Tac dragged his tentacles across Lexi’s body, and she shuddered.

“T-tac!” Lexi gasped as Tac brushed against the region between Lexi’s thighs. Hm. What was that peculiar wetness? Tac leaned down to investigate, and prodded at it with the tip of a tentacle, and Lexi wriggled intensely in the grasp of one of Tac’s bigger tentacles which was cradling her body like a human hug.

Tac glanced, confused up at Lexi. He shoved a tentacle into the hole between her legs and Lexi screeched and her whole body shook and Tac found Lexi’s insides to be very wet. Very wet indeed. Lexi was writhing like crazy now, as Tac kept sliding tentacle inside of Lexi until he hit a strange wall. Tac glanced at Lexi and saw she was panting hard, and her pretty face was now red and sweat dripped down her body. Tax wriggled his tentacle around, trying to feel where the tunnel inside Lexi continued. Lexi moaned loudly everytime Tac brushed one of the walls of the tunnel. Suddenly, Lexi’s hips bucked wildly and a torrent of liquid sprayed all over Tac and his tentacles inside Lexi. He cocked his head as Lexi planted a kiss on his closed mouth.

“Tac, you made me feel so good.” Lexi panted. Tac was confused. What does that mean? Tac was just trying to investigate the hole between Lexi’s thighs, and that made her feel good?

Tac lifted up Lexi and laid her atop him and wrapped tentacles around her and he enjoyed the feeling of her big breasts against his smooth body. Lexi’s body was wet and smooth now, too. Suddenly, there was a huge crash.

“MCPD! SURRENDER THE MONSTER!” a loud male voice roared. Lexi shrieked and Tac wrapped his tentacles tighter around Lexi and smashed through the wall of the bathroom, and swept his tentacles into the ranks of the men wearing hard armor. They went flying. They lifted strange tubes and fired hard objects at Tac and Lexi. Lexi was entirely wrapped in tentacles, but Tac felt the sting of each hard object. He smashed into the men who had fired the hard objects and crashed through the wall, using his tentacles to swing safely down to the ground. People screamed as Tac hurried towards the safety of the sewers. Tac smashed through the hard road and dropped into the sewers, quickly escaping away, going as low down as he could, and he finally unwrapped Lexi, who shivered.

“Tac, I heard bullets. Are you OK?” she asked. Tac felt a little pain but he nodded yes. Lexi planted a big kiss on his clothed mouth and Tac enjoyed her naked body.

“Thank you so much! I love you!” Lexi beamed, and Tac felt warmth grow in his core. He loved Lexi, too.
