Steel found himself practically floating on air as he made his way down the street, his heart beating hard in his chest as he made his way towards the restaurant where he had reservations. For the longest time the foxjay had his muzzle buried in his work without a second thought to his love life, but when he found himself talking to a dragon named Talen one day he was surprised when the other man asked him out. His first instinct had been to decline but with the project he had been working on so hard essentially done and the fact he found himself practically swooning at the handsome creature he found himself nodding his head instead. The time had finally arrived and even though he was going to be at the restaurant quite early he figured that it would give him some time to prepare.
Just as he was about to turn the corner a floral scent caught his attention and turned to see that he had stopped right in front of a flower shop. He realized that he had not brought anything to the date and while neither of them had said it was necessary the hybrid decided to go the extra mile. He turned and went into the shop, ducking his head and making sure his bright blue feathered wings didn’t bump against the top of the door frame as he found the floral aroma that had brought him in there magnified to a hundred. Steel found his head spinning slightly from the bouquet of scent and decided to find what he needed quick and get out of there so that he wasn’t late.
“Hello there,” the wolf behind the counter said in a cheery tone. “Is there something that we can help you with?”
“Oh yes, thank you,” Steel replied as he went up to the counter. “I’m looking for something that would be good for a first date. Simple, not too flashy, just something to show that I’m interested.”
“Ah, budding love,” the wolf said as his grin widened slightly. “We might have a few arrangements that are already made in the back if you’re in a hurry.”
“I… yeah, I’m in a hurry,” Steel replied as he tried to shake off the daze this strong scent had put him in. “Sorry, your flowers are a bit… overpowering.”
“Oh, we do get that sometimes,” the wolf stated as he opened the door. “Come on back and check out what we have.”
Steel found himself nodding as he passed the wolf to go inside, which as he did he noticed that the lupine smelled much like the scent in the air. It was probably the crown of flowers that he had around his head, though as he looked the other man over more carefully he saw that he had vines on his wrists and neck too. Maybe this was some sort of naturalist commune, the foxjay thought, and found him stroking his own orange fur around his neck as he went inside the back room. When he took a few steps in he found the space to be rather dark and as the wolf came up from behind he said that he’ll grab the light switch as the door closed behind them.
When the lights did turn on Steel found himself looking at a large column of vines that were in the middle of the room that had quite a few flowers that were growing out of it. The foxjay was almost instantly intrigued as he saw that the hues and colors of the pedals were shifting and moving, waving about in patterns that he had never seen any other flower do before. “Wow, those are… amazing…” Steel found himself saying as he took a step closer to it. “How did you grow something like that?”
“Oh, we weren’t created, merely discovered,” the wolf said with a chuckle, Steel growing more confused every time he heard the shop owner refer to himself as we despite it not making sense. “It’s a lot of explanation though, it would be so much easier if you joined us. Why don’t you go ahead and take off your clothes.”
The first thought Steel had was to decline, especially since he was in the back of a strange flower shop overgrown with some alien plant, but that command never made it to his feet to get him to walk away. As the foxjay continued to stare at it he eventually did start moving again, but it was his fingers to take off his nice shirt that was eventually pulled back by the wolf. “I don’t… I don’t understand…” Steel said as his pants came off next, revealing the bulge in his underwear that had been growing without him even realizing his arousal. “What am I doing…”
“You’re being called,” the wolf said simply. “You will join us like so many others who have smelled the perfume of subservience. It’s already too late to back out, our vines have already started to curl around your thoughts and the more you listen to me the more ensnared you’ll become.”
Steel tried to say something to the contrary, but every thought he had seemed to dissolve away before it could fully manifest. Even as the vines and flowers on the huge column began to shift and move towards his body he found himself unable to move. Instead of the wolf’s prompting he actually moved forward even as he began to visibly shiver. There was just one last step that he had to take, the wolf said, and that was to bare it all and accept their embrace.
After a momentary resistance the foxjay found his underwear around his feet before he kicked them off.
The first thing that happened was a set of vines wrapped around his wrists and ankles that hoisted him up into the air with surprising strength. Panic started to rise up in him but as it did he found himself breathing harder, which only served to inhale more of the pheromone pollen laced air into his lungs. What little resistance that was rising up in him was quickly brought back down as his eyes started to droop, opening wider only when he felt a flower latch onto his muzzle and something push into his mouth. Whatever plant-like thing that was in his maw quickly slithered down into his throat, forming into a gag while the petals continued to press against the orange fur.
The gag forced the foxjay to breathe through his nose, and the first time he did he found his eyes nearly rolling back into his head from the incredible sensation. Not only was the scent heavenly but he felt a surge of arousal come from it, his twitching member surging until it was fully erect. That seemed to be what the plant intended as a second cupped flower like the one on his mouth slid itself onto the head of his cock while a thick vine began to push up against his exposed hole. He could feel something pressing against both the tip of his maleness and his tailhole, but as he let out a muffled grunt it was his ears that he found himself focusing on.
Two of the multihued flowers had been shifting around his vision for a while and even in his pheromone-induced trace he thought that they would be covering his eyes, only for them to shift to his ears where the petals latched onto his head. The sensation caused his entire body to shake and as smaller tendrils pushed their way in the vine at his tailhole did the same. The pleasure masked the insertion into his skull and though he felt a pressure in his head it was only temporary. Steel’s eye twitched slightly as he could feel something happening to his mind, though the vine starting to push up inside his rear was causing enough pleasure for him to lose focus on what was happening.
You are one of us… the words flowed into his corrupted mind as he began to feel something dripping into his mouth from the vine gag, his body squirming slightly while he could feel the one suctioned on his cock starting to stimulate him there too. There was also a foreign psyche in his mind that was stirring him up, but with every word that was whispered directly into his mind the vine tentacle was pumping into him at the same time. His restrained feet kicked in the air and he practically howled into the mouth binding as the smaller tendril started to slide into the slit of his cock and bulge out the tip.
As Steel began to pant heavily all he could manage to think of was why it was doing this to him, which to his surprise he got a response. He was being modified in his conversion, their central spire filling him so that his body would be useful. He was no longer just himself, he was them and they were him as this form would serve to protect the hive and bring others to it. Steel tried to shake his head of the thoughts, but he could feel those flower tendrils wiggling around in his skull, absorbing his consciousness and rendering the thoughts of this body to a more simplistic state.
The hive has determined the use for this form.
This form will become a soldier drone.
Though Steel could feel himself fading fast he tried to shore up what mental defenses he could, but they… he was starting to lose himself as other voices began to join in. While all of them were different they were all the same, all of them converted to the hive just like the wolf drone that stared blankly ahead had. With what little resistance he had Steel attempted to fight but it only served to wiggle his pleasured form about in the vines that had coiled up his arms while more sap was pumped into him. The plant hit his prostrate and with his cock throbbing from the vine that had snaked all the way to his sack there was nothing that he could do to release.
Drones get release.
Soldier drones will be released upon conversion.
This drone will be ready to serve the hive.
Eventually the struggles of the foxjay ceased as his eyes could no longer focus, his head filling with too many voices to keep track of his own as he began to feel something getting pumped into his balls. His body tensed as his sack inflated with a heavy dose of pheromone-laden cum, something a drone eventually produces on his own to capture his prey. With his body practically shaking the orange fur of his body began to stretch and swell as his limbs grew thicker, the sap feeding into the muscle and causing it to grow. The rather lean foxjay grunted as he could feel strength filling his weary form, but as his pectorals filled out and his stomach flattened this new power would no longer be used to escape.
There was no reason for drone to escape.
They were part of the hive.
This soldier drone will serve and protect the hive.
Steel’s eyes squeezed shut as the tendril was removed from his heavy sack which pounced against his meatier thighs as he orgasmed, releasing what remained of his untainted seed into the plant before his corrupted cum followed suit. With each thrust into the air his body grew until he had gained several inches in height and had gained a rather athletic physique that many spent countless days at the gym for. This was the gift to their newest drone from the hive and as the vines finished up the one in his tailhole slid out of his tailhole while those that were wrapped against his wrist and ankles had tiny vines spread out among them. Just like the wolf they formed into an intricately weaved band that would serve as a mark to those of the hive that this was one of their drones, along with the one that was wrapped around his neck.
There was one aspect that served a more utilitarian purpose and with the feet of the drone being set down on the floor more vines pushed their way out to encircle the forehead of the hybrid. They were the connection to the hive and as Steel stood there silently they formed into a crown that if anyone looked carefully enough also threaded their way into his ears. For a few moments the soldier drone stood there as it awaited the hive mind directive, his muscles tensing and flexing as they continued to settle into their new physique. It already had a directive in mind and though it would require a new set of clothing the shopkeeper wolf suddenly perked up and left in order to find attire in time for Steel’s date…
Half an hour later Talen found himself in front of the restaurant that he had picked out for the date, the dragon scrolling on his phone as he waited for the foxjay he had asked out to show up. After a few minutes passed he was about to check and see if the hybrid was running late only to suddenly smell something that caused him to look up from his phone. “Sorry we’re a bit behind,” Steel said with a big smile on his face as he handed Talen a small bouquet of flowers with large multihued petals. “Hope these make up for it.”
“Wow, they look great,” Talen said as he took a sniff. “Smell nice too, it’s a shame that I can’t put them in water right away.” As the dragon went from the flowers to the foxjay he found himself doing a double take; while it had been a few days ago he hadn’t remembered the hybrid being so… bulgy, though all it did was make him a more striking creature to see as he motioned to go inside. Steel and Talen went into the restaurant together and after getting their table engaged in small talk while waiting to order.
The entire time Talen found his thoughts drifting, his eyes settling on the other man as he tried to remain present in the conversation. There was just something about him though that was growing more enticing by the second as he found himself licking his lips. He had thought that he was cute before, which was the whole reason that he had asked him out in the first place, but as he noticed the vine cuffs and choker he found the other man was downright adorable. Even after they ordered their first course the dragon found himself hungering for something else, though he mentally told himself to stay focused and at least get through the date first so that Steel didn’t think he was just looking for an easy lay.
When Steel wanted to show the dragon something on his phone and moved to his side of the table Talen found himself practically tenting his pants. His nostrils flared as the sweet, floral smell of the creature next to him was driving him wild to the point where he was ready to ask him back to his place. Every second that the hybrid sat next to him the more his heart pounded in his chest until he couldn’t even hear what the guy was saying anymore. All he wanted to do was take him right there on the table, and the mere idea of it was enough for Talen to excuse himself and make a run for the bathroom.
Steel watched the flustered dragon leave and the grin that was on his face widened as the pheromone was doing its job, which had also been influencing anyone close enough to him. Though he had seen a couple flushed faces those people weren’t his target as he waited for about a minute before getting up from the table as well. The waiter came by with their meal at this time and the foxjay told him to wrap it up to go and ready the check as they had somewhere they needed to be. Though he could see the confused look on the tiger’s face he just shrugged and nodded as Steel made his way to the bathroom…
Inside one of the stalls Talen was panting and breathing hard as he stroked his erection, hoping that he could pop one off and calm himself down before going back to Steel. He found himself thinking about what that soft orange fur would feel like on his dark blue and white scales, holding him close as he would ride him. That was just one of the many scenarios that ran through his mind but as he heard the door open he stopped mid stroke and paused. Last thing he needed was to be caught in this embarrassing situation again, but when he heard the door lock and began to smell something wafting in the air he found his eyes lighting up.
Steel called for Talen to open up and the dragon fell to his knees to get it. “Ah, good, you’re already where you need to be,” Steel said, though his voice came out almost in a monotone as the foxjay drone looked down at the needy dragon. “Open your mouth, we will prepare you.”
“Wait, usually I’m the one… on…” Talen found himself trailing off as Steel dropped his pants and revealed his swollen sack and rather large cock. “That scent… I need more…” Talen practically leapt on the foxjay and was about to bury his muzzle in the crotch fur of the hybrid before he was pulled back. For a few seconds the dragon was confused but as he was presented with the throbbing shaft once more Talen understood and began to bob his head up and down.
Though the pleasure was something that the hive enjoyed the real reason to have the dragon sucking on their cock was for subjugation. The sap and pheromone combo that the drone produced was already starting to leak out and they could see Talen’s movements starting to slow. His hands that had been stroking on his ridged shaft dropped to his sides as his entire body relaxed while the drone told him what would soon need to be done. Soon the dragon was completely enthralled and though the pheromone would be good enough the drone grabbed onto the back of his head and pumped his hips forward to get even more pleasure.
Talen’s tongue continued to lick against the bottom of the shaft before he saw the foxjay’s body tense up, pushing his nose up against his groin to inundate him with as much of the powerful scent as he could. The dragon found his mind unable to even form comprehensive thought, instead as the hybrid told him to get up and pull up his pants he did so without thinking. The dragon’s entire world revolved around the foxjay as they made their way out of the restroom and back into the dining area where he stood by while Steel paid for their dinner and took the boxes. Once that was finished the drone led the dragon by his pheromone leash until they got him back towards the flower shop where the wolf shopkeeper greeted them once more…
Once they were in the back room the façade the soldier drone had was dropped just like the wolf’s persona, the two of them watching as the dragon that stood there naked was presented to the column of plants. By this point even the potent dose of sap-laden pheromone cum had started to wear off as he looked around, though even though Talen looked about confused they could tell he was still under the effects of the similar substance in the atmosphere. “Wha… where am I?” Talen asked, looking back at the naked foxjay staring blankly at him. “Whoa, did dinner go that well?”
“It did,” Steel replied. “We have brought you here to be converted and brought into the hive mind. Soon your psyche will be enveloped and your form will be purposed to best serve our purposes.”
Though it was Steel’s voice that spoke the real talker was the column, the plant-controlled foxjay drone nothing more than a puppet as it served the will of the hive. Soon Talen would join that hive and all his memories and personalities would be absorbed, forming another flower on the central spire while its handsome form would be likely used as a lure. They would probably form into a symbiosis, the soldier drone protecting the lure as it used his pretty form and the sweet words in its mind to draw in others like flies to honey. First though they had to bring Talen into the hive, which as the vines reached out and began to coil around him the drone found himself being pinged to assist in the subjugation of this creature.
Though Talen was deeply enthralled by this point the dragon was still squirming about, his draconic dick pushed out of his slit and practically being thrusted into the air as he was lifted off his feet by the vines curled around his forearms and shins. “Relax, soon you will embrace us,” the Steel drone said as he came up behind Talen, his own cock twitching as another vine wrapped around and lifted up the dragon’s tail to present it to him. “Just let us in, enjoy the conversion…”
“Nnnngg…” Talen replied, his toned form still bucking a bit even as the words sank into his mind. “Not how I expected this date to go…” The hive could see the resistance already crumbling in the creature and instead of the vine that would go into his tailhole, the dragon already being muscular enough to serve their needs, Steel’s maleness pushed inside in order to ensure his obedience. Talen let out a pleasured moan as the two flowers settled in around his head, the petals sticking to the dark blue scales of his head before his eyes shot open.
“Embrace us,” Steel whispered. “This body will be a drone for the hive.”
“My body… is not…” Talen tried to reply, though it was hard for the dragon to speak even without being gagged like Steel had. With the pleasure coming from the act of actually being coupled plus not needing as much sap the panting creature was merely bound, though there was one flower that began to slide over his cock while the foxjay plowed inside of him. As he could see the tendril sliding into the erect maleness of the dragon the entire scaly form of the creature shuddered and thrashed about a bit, though with the vines holding him in place Steel was able to remain inside of him.
“We can feel you,” Steel said, rubbing a hand down Talen’s muscular chest as the dragon began to both groan and whimper slightly. “You will become us, we will become you. This body will be our vessel.”
“Us… become us…” Talen managed to say, though his breath was becoming heavier as the vines began to spread out over his forehead while the ones growing over his mind continued to connect his psyche to theirs. “Drone… this… is drone…” As the hive could hear Steel starting to disconnect from his form they could feel the dragon’s psyche joining their voices, becoming almost indistinct from the other ones while the foxjay drone continued to pump into him with his cock.
Though Steel could still hear Talen talking the dragon’s mouth was no longer moving, his jaw dropped and his tongue practically lolling out of his mouth. Just like with the blow job he had gotten earlier the pleasure shared between the two drones was dispersed among the hive as more small vines began to spread over the blue and white scales of his wrists and ankles until they formed a pair of cuffs. When the flower withdrew from Talen’s cock he saw the dragon cum spurt out of it until it was tinted with yellow that would bring others into the hive. Slowly the vines once more lowered Talen down onto the ground as Steel backed away, the two drones standing there as the column assimilated this new psyche into the hive while a small flower grew out from the side of it.
With two more successful conversions the three watched as the vines that radiated out from the central column of the alien creature continued to spread, eventually reaching the walls. Though this plant was growing strong there was more that was needed, but with Talen there they had additional resources in order to make sure that they could get them. As the drones looked at the flower arrangements on the counter and then at the naked body of the creature the hive got an idea…
A few days later Steel stood just inside the shop, sweeping the floor and helping the wolf within keep the place clean. In reality he was there to protect the growing column that had started to push its way out after nearly a dozen or so more creatures were brought into the fold. As he continued to move about the shop another one entered in and as the wolf and foxjay looked up they saw a deer man standing there with a sheepish look on his face. He asked about a certain arrangement of flowers and when Steel asked what he was looking for the deer hesitated for a second before pulling up the image on his phone.
As Steel looked at the screen he instantly recognized it as Talen lying there with a bouquet of flowers that was strategically placed. The drone’s role as a lure had greatly increased their efficiency and as the deer started to sniff the air the foxjay smiled and told him that they had exactly what he was looking for in the back. “I do hope you don’t mind a bit of a wait,” Steel said as he led him towards the back, giving the wolf a nod before opening the door and allowing the deer inside. “Our recent promotion has made us very busy.”
“Well I can certainly imagine,” the deer replied before stumbling slightly, shaking his head as he walked through the door. “Sorry, guess I’m just not used to such strong flowers.” Steel just nodded and continued to escort the deer into the back room where he saw the man’s jaw drop. “Whoa… I… what?”
The plants had spread over most of the floor and the ceiling with several creatures already hanging from vines, their tailholes and mouths stretched open while flowers pressed against their heads and cocks. Another was currently bouncing up and down on the lap of Talen, the other dragon having a blissed out look on his face as his own huge member was completely encapsulated by the other’s tailhole. They had gotten quite a few drones in during their time and as the deer continued to stand there in shock Steel told him to get undressed. Just like all the others it didn’t take long before he was stripping down, his body rather lean and supple as the hive would probably make him into a soldier drone just like him.
As Steel watched the deer kick off the last stitch of clothing the vines that were growing along the floor starting to climb up his legs while others dropped down from the ceiling and wrapped around his antlers. With his body exposed the drone watched as he began to squirm about, though it was far too late for him now as he was pulled upwards with the connected vines still crawling over him. He would join the others that were wrapped up in vine cocoons waiting to be assimilated, watching as the flower muzzle slid down over the cervine maw and his furry throat stretching from the one that was inside of it. Another pushed up into his tailhole and as a more potent pheromone was pumped into his body his cock was coiled around and started to get stimulated before his form was completely encased in vines from head to toe.
That was probably the last customer that they would have for the day, and as Steel walked over to one of the walls he found Talen standing up and away from another cocoon that was vaguely dragon-shaped in nature. After being such good drones the hive would provide for the husks as the foxjay watched vines coil around the bindings of his arms and legs to secure him to the wall and floor. As he pressed his body against the alien plant he saw another pair of arms against his, the dragon drone sliding his throbbing cock into the one in front of him to continue to bring pleasure to the hive. Vines encased their bodies just like it had done with the newer converts and they opened their mouths enough to allow the flowers to slide over them, the gags pushing into their throats not only providing more stimulation but also nourishing their converted forms. Steel let out a soft grunt as he felt the dragon drone behind him push in deeper, no doubt from the vine that had slid into his tailhole while they were wrapped and bound.
As the drones were about to be put to sleep both had a brief moment where their minds were freed, a space between the vines that wrapped around their brains and the hivemind that flowed through their forms. Though being dominated and subjugated by an alien plant was not something that he had really thought about looking forward to with the dragon pressing against his back and wings was rather nice, especially feeling that ridged length pulsing inside of him. Part of him knew that he was helping usher in the complete assimilation of this city, and potentially the world, but his already corrupted mind didn’t seem to mind that. A small thrust that came from Talen brought his attention to the dragon and he could feel that the one behind him had similar reservations of escape, and if they all felt like that then they supposed a hive mind wasn’t that bad after all…
