An eager "whoop" resonated through the small dorm. Muffled chatter could be heard from the headset worn by the person who had just hollered a second prior.

"Yeah dude!" He exclaimed. "I couldn't even see him I just chucked the knife and hit him!"

More chatter followed.

"Well, that's a solid way to end the evening. I should go, I got a ping on my phone during that last round so I'm going to see who that was and get something to eat before bed."

Jace carefully removed his headset and set it on the coffee table in front of him before rousing himself from his loveseat to turn off his game console. Jace was a young raptor rounding out the very tail end of his last semester at university where he was studying mechanical engineering. He was an avid gamer in his free time though, and maintained an impressive rank in the shooter he routinely played with his classmates and colleagues. He had a sort of mustard yellow skin that was very vibrant under the right kind of lighting with lighter and softer skin all over his neck, chest, and underside and soft sky blue eyes. It was hard for him to look intense, but when he was in the middle of a heated round he could put on a face of determination that one might mistake for someone performing open heart surgery.

The raptor yawned and stretched for a moment before reaching over to grab his phone. He had a missed call from a number he didn't recognize, but the voicemail revealed it to be someone named "Oren". Oren claimed he was one of the aides from the biology class Jace took the previous semester, though Jace couldn't seem to remember that name. The raptor shrugged it off because he realized he didn't really remember anyone from that class as it was so this guy was probably there and Jace never met him formally. Jace opened the missed call on his phone and tapped the redial button before moving the phone up to his ear as it rang.

"Hey, is this, uh, Oren?" Jace asked. "It's Jace, from Dr. Ward's class, I missed a call from you?"

"Oh! Hi Jace! Yeah, it's me," a male voice on the other end replied. Jace couldn't pin the voice on anyone he remembered who was an aide but he still maintained the call anyways.

"I know it's weird for me to just call you out of the blue like this," Oren continued, "but I heard you were graduating soon and if you were perhaps looking for something to do I might know a place to look into."

"Oh?" Jace asked, his interest piqued. "Yeah, I'm definitely looking. I've been working on my CV and just waiting to finalize my GPA on it before sending it out to places."

"Right, good call. Have you heard of Dimetrocorp?"

"Dimetra-what?" The raptor answered.

"Uh, Dimetrocorp. They're a biotech company in the neighboring city."

"No... I can't say I've ever heard the name before."

"Yeah, they operate out of one of those big gray buildings just outside of downtown," Oren explained. "They don't have a giant logo on the place or anything, just their sign on the doors."

Jace continued his conversation with Oren who went on to explain that Dimetrocorp was looking for volunteers and staff for a long-term study they were in the process of starting. Oren said he thought of Jace since he had some practical experience in the science field and was close to graduating. Jace thanked Oren for the consideration, took down Dimetrocorp's information, and ended the call. As Jace set his phone back down he furrowed his brow slightly at how strange the conversation felt. For the life of him he could not remember anyone named Oren from that class, nor had he ever heard of this company. Jace quickly picked his phone back up, opened its web browser, and popped "Dimetrocorp" and the street address Oren gave him into the search bar. Sure enough, there was a business there named Dimetrocorp Enterprises. Everything seemed to check out.

A couple of weeks passed and Jace ended his last round of classes. The weight of being a full time student was finally off of his shoulders, now replaced with the heavier burden of segueing into gainful employment and settling into adult life proper. He pulled his car into the parking lot behind the Dimetrocorp complex and emerged from it dressed in the nicest clothes he owned, completed CV in hand. As the raptor stepped through the building's front door he found himself in a sparsely furnished room that superficially resembled the waiting room of a doctor's office.

"Hello, can I help you?" The secretary at the nearby desk asked.

"Hi, my name's Jace, I'd like to drop off my CV and hopefully meet your hiring manager if they're here right now. I just graduated last week and I'm on the job hunt now."

As Jace spoke he handed his paperwork over to the secretary.

"Oren gave me a call, he referred me here from the university," Jace added.

"Oren?" The secretary said with a puzzled look. "I'm not familiar with an Oren."

"He was an aide for Dr. Ward?" Jace responded.

"Oh! Dr. Ward, yes we've done some work with him in the past," she replied nodding.

A few moments of silence passed as the secretary gave Jace's CV a glancing over. In that time Jace again found himself unable to shake a weird feeling about this "Oren" guy. The secretary didn't know him? Maybe that was just because she's the secretary and doesn't actually do anything behind the scenes at the business. But... she would still have to see everyone who came into the building, right? Jace's mind wandered for a while until the secretary spoke up and snapped him back into focus.

"Wow, that's an impressive GPA!" She exclaimed.

"Heh, thanks," Jace replied. "It wasn't exactly easy."

"So, if you'd like you can come with me through the double doors here. I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Karo, he's overseeing our current effort. That might've been the one you heard about."

The secretary stood up from her desk and walked out into the waiting area where Jace was. She approached a set of metal doors and pulled the badge from her lanyard over to the sensor on the wall next to them. The sensor dinged followed by the locks on the doors disengaging long enough for her to prop one open and motion for Jace to follow. Jace eagerly stepped through and followed her down the hall to a room whose door was already ajar.

"This is Dr. Karo's office, he's inside," she said with a smile.

"Thanks!" The Jace replied. "I really appreciate it!"

The raptor stepped into the doorway and was greeted by Dr. Karo who smiled and motioned for him to enter.

"Close the door behind you if you would, please," the man said as Jace entered.

Jace obliged before introducing himself and shaking Dr. Karo's hand. Karo was a much older man, easily in the back half of middle age. He was a well built tyrannosaur with olive green skin. As Jace shook his hand he was surprised at the firmness and strength of Karo's grip, it seemed odd for someone in the biotech field to be so stout.

"How can I help you, son?" Dr. Karo said as he sat back down behind his ornate desk.

"I heard about a long-term study you were getting ready to start," Jace answered. "That you were also looking for volunteers and staff for it? I'd like to know more about it."

"Ah, well yes we are getting ready to do some research into gene therapy. Says here you've got a background in mechanical and industrial engineering?"

"Yes sir," Jace said. "Near the top of my class, with honors."

"Very impressive," the rex said with a grin. "I assume you also enrolled in some of the biology classes then, if you had Dr. Ward as an instructor?"

Jace nodded.

"Well, the staff we are looking for would ideally be someone who majored in or had significant experience with the biosciences..."

As Dr. Karo spoke the raptor felt his heart sink. It was going to be an immediate soft letdown.

"...but we are still looking for volunteers for the study, and the pay is quite generous."

"As a volunteer?" Jace asked. "How generous is generous?"

Karo grinned as he held up six fingers.

Jace shook his head in disbelief. "What would I have to do?"

"Not much, how much do you know about the process of gene therapy?" Karo asked.

"I mean, I understand what it is in a general sense. Changing what genes are expressed through artificial conditioning."

"Correct," the rex responded. "We're investigating a new form of medical treatment based on this. You'd be subjected to a trial and monitored by our onsite staff."

"Gene therapy?" Jace asked.

"Yes. Surely though, you're aware of how a significant portion of our DNA is mostly 'junk' that remains as evolutionary leftovers?"

Jace nodded again.

"In this trial we'd only be focusing on altering this junk DNA that isn't expressed. If we can focus on a specific gene and induce a change in it, then that trial will have been successful and in theory we could apply this procedure to a patient who needed treatment for a hereditary disorder for example. Don't worry, we wouldn't do something drastic like changing the color of your eyes or anything."

Dr. Karo chuckled as he finished speaking.

As Karo continued his chat with Jace he explained that the study included temporary residence at the Dimetrocorp facilities so he could be monitored in a controlled environment. He'd have a room provided all to himself, regular meals, and daily check-ins from medical staff. When the trial concluded, he'd be reimbursed for his participation.

Jace glanced over to the framed photos and documents on the far wall. Most were papers, but one of them was of Dr. Karo with someone else in military dress. Next to it was a framed medal of some sort, Jace recognized it from the game he played.

"Where does all the money for this trial come from, if I may ask?" Jace posed.

"The usual sources. Grants, endowments, the like," Dr. Karo responded.

"Is this DoD?"

Karo laughed. "Well if it was I certainly wouldn't be able to tell you that."

"...are you military?"

"In a previous life, yes," Karo affirmed.

"Marine?" The raptor asked.

"Indeed I am. How did you know?"

"I recognized the medal on the wall over there," Jace replied nodding toward it.

"You're a sharp one Jace, I like that. You'd be perfect for this trial if you're interested."

"I am; do I need to sign something?"

"Yes, the usual sort of waivers and the like. Standard procedure."

As Dr. Karo spoke he produced a sizable stack of papers and set it on the desk between him and Jace.

"If you'd like to review this and return it to us," Karo said as he set the paperwork down.

"Well, we covered all the bases, right? I assume this is just boilerplate?" Jace asked.

The rex didn't respond, he just craned his head to the side slightly and gestured to the stack.

Jace pulled a pen out of the coffee cup on Dr. Karo's desk, turned straight to the last page of the contract, and signed it. As he put the pen back he spun the papers around and nudged them back toward the now-grinning rex.

"Welcome aboard," he said.

Jace didn't realize it, but he'd just signed a stack of papers that would forever alter the course of his life.

---

Jace was pleased with securing a place in the study almost immediately after graduating. He had to move his things out of his dorm as it was, so being able to migrate from one place to another that was already lined up made the process easier. He was warned that he wouldn't be able to bring certain things into the facility with him, such as his game console, but he figured he'd have plenty of time to catch up once he got paid and was able to immediately place a down payment on a home and settle in literally anywhere he wanted to while finding work at his leisure.

He arrived at the now-familiar Dimetrocorp building and parked in the same area, though this time he was wearing much less formal clothes and carried a large duffel back with him as he approached an alternate entrance at the back of the structure. He rang the buzzer, provided his name, and was welcomed in by an assistant wearing a lab coat. The assistant escorted Jace to a room on the second floor that was locked with the same sort of badge sensor as the ones he'd seen the secretary open previously.

"This is where you'll be staying for the duration of your trial," the assistant said as he opened the door with his badge and guided Jace in.

As Jace stepped into the room he noticed it was furnished just like a mid-rate hotel room, even down to the carpet. It had a familiar feel, almost homey, like he'd been in this exact room before while traveling to see a concert or something. Though, as nice as the room was it was laid out strangely.

"Kind of a weird layout," Jace said as he nodded over to the toilet in the corner of the room. "No bathroom?"

The toilet was accompanied by a sink, standing shower, and the other usual amenities on a laminate floor. It was a full bathroom but it was strange that it was just an open floor plan. There was a kitchenette present in the room too, also out in the open. The more Jace eyed the room over the more it started to resemble a very nicely furnished prison cell.

"Well, you'll be here by yourself," the assistant clarified. "We designed all of these rooms to be as efficient as possible, and that included simplifying things like the number of rooms to just one with all of the comforts of home."

"I get it," the raptor said with a laugh. "Just a little weird that's all."

The assistant nodded and returned the laugh. "Well, for now just get settled in and get comfortable. The trial officially starts tomorrow. If you need to call anyone just press this button right here and it will ring the intercom in the nurse's office."

Jace traded goodbyes with the assistant and was left to entertain himself for the time being. He turned on the television to browse what was on and snacked on the apple and a small bag of pretzels that were sitting on the counter in the kitchen area.

Some time passed before Jace heard a knock on the door followed by the "ding" of the badge reader. As the door opened, Jace was greeted by Dr. Karo who was also now wearing a lab coat too.

"Oh, hello Dr. Karo!" Jace said as he recognized who had entered the room.

"Jace, great to see you, son," the rex said as he gave the raptor another firm handshake.

The two men exchanged small talk and pleasantries for several minutes.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for this opportunity, sir. This is going to really help me out," Jace said with a smile as their conversation came to a close.

Karo smiled back. "I should be the one thanking you, Jace. The journey you're embarking on will have ripples felt by all of dinosaurkind for generations to come."

The rex parted with another handshake as firm as the first along with a pat on Jace's shoulder.

Jace rounded out the rest of the day watching a movie on TV and skimming the newspaper on the dining table before checking in for the night, eager to see what tomorrow had in store but just as apprehensive too.

Jake awoke bright and early at 7:00 AM as the digital clock next to his bed rang out with a piercing alarm. As the sound shook him out of slumber he realized he didn't set that clock, it was already there. He reached over to press the snooze button but found no such button, he had to actually wake up proper and get out of bed to be able to get to the clock that was just ever so slightly out of reach. As Jace shut the alarm off he fiddled with the clock to see if he could adjust the settings but there were no such options. It was apparently hardwired to ring at a prescribed time.

At around 7:15 there was another knock on the door and as it opened another rex in a lab coat stepped in. This was someone different from the assistant who let him into the building the day prior, though Jace realized everyone he'd met so far was a rex, including the secretary.

"Good morning Jace," the nurse said as he smiled.

"Good morning... Harlow?" The raptor replied as he squinted to read the nurse's badge from his bed.

The rex nodded as he brought in a small cart of supplies. He introduced himself and began measuring all of Jace's vitals with what looked like standard medical equipment. Blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, pen light, the usual. He also drew a vial of blood as a baseline but explained blood tests were only going to be a weekly routine while everything else would be checked every day at the same time. As he wrapped up his notes and capped the vial of Jace's blood Harlow reached for a small metal case. It looked like a cigar case made of brushed aluminum, it even opened like one. From it the nurse withdrew a syringe. It looked like any other immunization syringe, though this one had a noticeable amount of fluid inside of it. The fluid was almost clear, just with a very slight amber tint.

"Alright, this is going to be your first dose, are you ready?" Harlow asked.

Jace sighed and nodded. The rex rubbed an alcohol pad on the raptor's upper arm briefly before pulling the skin taut. Jace winced and bit his lower lip as he felt the needle breach his skin followed by a slight burning as the fluid inside was injected into him. It was over as quickly as it started and the nurse finished by placing a small round bandage over the spot.

"There we go, done!" The nurse said in his thus far unwavering upbeat tone.

After administering Jace's first injection, Harlow snapped a laminated band around the raptor's ankle that had all of his general information on it along with a barcode that could be scanned into... something? The rex didn't actually have anything on him that interacted with the barcode, it was just there on the band but not being used.

With the first day of Jace's trial underway he spent the rest of it largely learning what his daily routine was going to be. He was free to do whatever he liked as long as it was within that room as he discovered that he wasn't able to leave it because it was locked from the outside, presumably by the badge reader. As the raptor sniffed around the room he found several books of different kinds of puzzles, a deck of cards, a journal, and some writing instruments. There were also some books on the shelf next to the television, a few recent best-sellers and several of what were usually referred to as "the classics". In the dressers were several plain shirts, pants, and pairs of underwear. He'd brought some clothes with him in his duffel bag but realized there wasn't a way for him to wash them himself on account of not being able to leave his quarters to go to an assumed laundry room or something. The extra clothes provided were all made of a soft material, probably cotton. They didn't have any tags for Jace to read. The clothes were all black, including the underwear.

Another nurse, also male, stopped by at 8:00, 1:00, and 6:00 with meals. They were hot, but resembled the cafeteria food from the university Jace had just graduated from. Still, not bad and they were filling nonetheless. He was instructed to eat everything though as he was told the selection of food in each meal was part of maintaining the controlled environment he was in. Despite this, there was always a couple of pieces of fruit and some dry snacks on the kitchen bartop and a whole can of both coffee grounds and tea leaves plus the appliances to brew each drink that Jace was free to use whenever he liked. Overall, Jace could see himself riding this out. It was nice. A bit boring, but cozy. He figured unplugging from the online world would do him some good.

A couple of days passed and Jace found himself already falling into routine. Harlow showed up at 7:15 every morning like clockwork.

"How are you feeling now that you've been here a few days?" The rex asked as he checked Jace's vitals.

"Fine, I guess," Jace answered. "But my arm where you gave me the injection has been really sore, like constantly."

"Hmm, well soreness at the injection site is a very common side effect of pretty much every kind of treatment delivered in this manner," Harlow explained. "It should go away on its own, and become less prevalent as your body adjusts to the dosage."

As Harlow got ready to leave he opened a small drawer on his cart and pulled out a blister pack of pills.

"Here, these should help with the nerve pain in your arm," the nurse said as he handed them to Jace. "Just over the counter stuff, but they do work."

"Thanks," the raptor replied with a smile.

Days passed, and the pain in Jace's arm did seem to slowly fade away on its own. At the start of the following week Harlow brought with him another syringe of the gene treatment to administer as well as drawing another vial of blood beforehand.

"Before I go, I need to leave something here for you to do on your own," the nurse said.

"What's that?" Jace asked.

"Now that your trial is underway we will also need a different kind of sample from you each week."

As Harlow spoke he wheeled his cart over to the small dining table and placed a couple of small books and an empty cup onto it that had been sitting in a compartment under the cart's top tray.

"Is that... what I think it is?" The raptor asked raising an eyebrow.

Harlow chuckled slightly. "Perhaps. We do need a seminal sample. Since DNA is also expressed in gametes this is another method with which we'll track your progress and any changes. Just, at your leisure. Me or one of the other nurses will collect it when we check on you and notice it's been done."

An awkward silence fell upon the room. Jace understood the rationale behind why this particular kind of sample was needed, but it wasn't anything he'd ever done before.

Once Harlow left, Jace stepped over to the table to see what the rex had left behind. The books were actually adult magazines, two of them. The raptor picked up the one on top which had a scantily clad woman on the cover and sure enough the pages inside were as explicit as he assumed they'd be. He moved the magazine to the side and looked down at the table and chuckled as his focus shifted to the other one. There was a well-toned man on its cover and as Jace had guessed the pages were filled with photos of men completely in the buff.

"No judgment here I suppose," Jace said as he laughed to himself.

It took a couple of hours but eventually Jace mustered up the nerve to get the sample that was asked of him. He wasn't sure how much was enough, so he awkwardly shot his entire load into the cup before sealing it and setting it on the counter away from everything else, especially the food. Just as Harlow said though, it was picked up by one of the nurses during a routine check in. No questions, no awkward small talk. Just business.

The week went off fine at first, but part of the way through however Jace found himself fighting to go to sleep one night. Earlier in the day he sensed a slight dizziness and now that hours had passed it had devolved into a full on throbbing headache. He thought about ringing the intercom but opted to tough it out until morning. He felt a little better come daylight, though when he brought it up to Harlow the rex shrugged it off as possibly due to stress or a reaction to something Jace had eaten.

The day before Jace was to receive his third injection he awoke just before the alarm. That wasn't unusual, by now he was accustomed to the 7:00 wake up call and usually caught it a few minutes before it went off. What was unusual is the raptor found himself painfully aroused. He'd "relieved himself" the night prior, but as he awoke he felt like he'd abstained from release for days. He could tell it wasn't just the usual morning wood. Jace heard the door start to open and quickly shuffled around and tried to tuck his erection into his crotch as best he could. He'd taken a liking to sleeping in one of the shirts and pair of underwear from the dresser as he liked how the soft fabric felt on his skin, but it definitely didn't do anything in the way of hiding, well, this.

Jace felt on edge the entire time Harlow was going about his routine. The raptor let out a brief sigh as the rex finally left with his cart. He waited a couple of minutes before relaxing back onto the bed with a huff. Jace propped himself up into a sitting position and yanked his underwear down letting his erect shaft flop out from behind the black cotton. Almost immediately he grabbed his cock and began gently stroking it, sighing again as the light yellow skin of his shaft pulled back and slid across its slightly pointed pink tip. Every pass felt as pleasurable as it always had but as the raptor continued he felt a dull pain in his balls the longer his private session went on. It really did feel like the "blue balls" nonsense his former classmates used to joke about at parties, like he hadn't cum in god knows how long.

Moments later the raptor shuddered slightly as he reached his climax. A muddied "fuck" left his lips as he moaned gently and his cock throbbed, releasing several ropes of seed onto his lower belly. Even as his peak tapered off Jace continued to stroke himself for a few moments longer just to try and subdue his urges as much as he could.

He reached over to the nightstand by his bed for the box of tissues to clean himself up so he could get dressed and ready for breakfast which would be arriving at the top of the hour.

The next day Harlow arrived to draw blood, give Jace his weekly dose of the gene therapy serum, and bring another empty cup for the next "sample".

"So uh, I've been here a couple of weeks now," Jace started.

"Mm hmm," Harlow replied as he swabbed the inner side of the raptor's elbow to get ready to draw blood.

"Is the therapy working? Like, have you seen any changes in the blood you're taking?"

"Oh, yes!" The rex said eagerly. "You're responding to the treatment exactly the way our hypothesis predicted."

"That's good to hear. How long is this trial, by the way?"

"Hmm, well that depends," Harlow replied. "I don't think there's a fixed time frame. A while, considering the pay, but it's not like we're going to keep you in this room forever, ha ha."

Harlow finished his routine and left as usual. Jace went to the coffee maker to start brewing a drink and while the appliance was warming up the raptor picked up the empty sample cup. Much like the morning prior he felt like he hadn't relieved himself for days despite of course doing exactly that at the time. He was already aroused, and in no time at all the raptor was able to bring himself to climax. Like before, Jace released his entire load into the cup. He sighed lightly as he caught his breath before putting the lid on the cup and waiting for the coffee to finish. He set the cup in the same place as before, off to the side of the bartop, and sat down at the table to look at a crossword puzzle and have his drink.

While staring off into space trying to solve one of the clues of the puzzle though, Jace noticed something peculiar about the cup as it caught his gaze. He stepped away from the table to look at it and as he eyed its contents he noticed that it was noticeably more full than the one from the previous week. Both times he just put everything he produced into the cup, though this one easily had twice as much in it.

The middle of the week arrived. It was mid-afternoon, almost exactly between the scheduled lunch and dinner meals. Jace was laying atop the bed watching a race on the TV across the room. Slowly, the monotony of the action started to wear him down and his thoughts began to wander. His hand found its way down under the waistline of the pants he was wearing and the raptor began idly cupping his bulge and stroking it on top of his underwear. It was the middle of the day, there was nothing to do. He hadn't sought release since waking up, now was as good of a time as any.

Jace unfastened his pants and pulled them down to the middle of his thighs along with his underwear. He took his shaft in his hand and began slowly stroking it, cooing to himself as he practically melted into the bed. Jace certainly noticed he felt horny a lot more often than he used to. By now he'd been jerking himself off every day for almost two weeks, sometimes twice in one day. Every time he came it was a full load too, even on the days he did it more than once. The raptor couldn't quite put his finger on it but he swore everything about the process just "felt better" too, in some abstract nebulous way. The way his foreskin slid across the head of his shaft, the way his balls tightened up as he neared his orgasm, and especially the rush he felt when that peak finally hit and he shot his load.

Jace let out a soft moan as he weakly pushed his hips forward. His cock throbbed powerfully as a thick rope of seed shot out of it and landed far enough up his body to reach his chest. The second almost made it there too, but each one that followed was slightly weaker than the last. Even the afterglow felt more intense somehow; it lingered for longer. Jace let go of his shaft, which was still firmly erect despite the raptor having just climaxed. He placed his hands behind his head and simply laid there for several moments, relishing in the warmth that was still gently ebbing and flowing over him.

Eventually, the raptor went to clean himself up, though before he started wiping the mess off of his skin he noticed something strange. Before using the tissue, Jace ran his finger through some of the cum on his stomach. It was thick. Really thick. Almost like glue, but still slick like usual. He resumed wiping himself off but was starting to become acutely aware that something was different about him. He didn't feel any different physically, save for the occasional bouts of a headache. Or unexplainable muscle soreness. Or the weird "hot flashes" that had started the same day as his most recent injection. Maybe he was feeling just a little bit different after all.

Harlow was back with his fully loaded cart at the start of the next week. Once again, Jace decided to ask him about matters since the rex was in the room much longer on these days.

"Abnormal?" Harlow asked. "What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain, it's just a lot of little things," Jace replied. "Headaches, soreness, feeling like I have a fever, but only for a little while before it goes away. I just feel weird."

"Hmm," the rex hummed as he shifted his lower lip in thought. "Well, your body has been adapting to changes as this trial has gone on, it may just be its way of working through matters. Your vitals are fine, excellent even."

"About that... what does it say about my, uh," the raptor could feel his face flush as he tried to bring up such a touchy subject.

"Oh," Harlow laughed. "You'll be happy to hear your sperm are healthy and your count is impeccable!"

"Heh... uh, thanks..." Jace said, unable to muster the courage to probe further and ask why his semen was changing in consistency.

The nurse left behind another empty specimen cup as usual. Jace rolled the cup around in his fingers; just holding it was enough to bring him to arousal. Honestly, at this point anything was able to do that. He'd idly thumbed through the magazines earlier in his stay at the facility but it got to the point where he didn't really need them to get off. Jace went to the bathroom area of his room, dropped his pants, and began dutifully stroking himself off to fill the cup.

The first jet of cum that shot out of his cock hit the inside of the cup with enough force for most of it to splash out, but Jace didn't even notice that in the moment. Every climax felt better and more intense than the last. The raptor trembled slightly every time his shaft flexed to release another rope of seed. His cum felt so thick, the sensation of it passing through his shaft was almost like a miniature orgasm in and of itself. He could feel his urethra bulge out into his fingers as he continued to stroke himself with every shot he released. He moaned, audibly this time, as his orgasm finally tapered off. Jace hastily set the cup on the back side of the sink and braced his arms against both of its front corners. He arched his back slightly, convulsing just a bit as his cock very slowly throbbed once more and a thick bead of cum dripped out of it onto the laminate floor.

"F-fuck..." the raptor sighed as he shivered slightly.

Jace held himself up on the sink for several moments before recomposing himself. He glanced up at the sample cup, it was very nearly completely full. It was plainly obvious that he was producing a lot more cum now, he didn't need a plastic cup to tell him that, but he only ever really got a proper barometer on it once a week when Harlow left an empty specimen cup. As he stood at the sink, his cock still half erect, the raptor became aware of just how heavy his balls felt hanging under him. He felt like he could already go another round in just a few minutes and pump out just as much seed as he just did. As Jace's mind clouded with thoughts of shooting another load he picked up the cup and noticed that its contents were different again.

As he gently tilted the nearly full cup of semen around he observed a strange sheen to it. He couldn't really explain it, to him it had a slight shimmering effect sort of like the inside of a sea shell. Whatever this treatment, this "gene therapy", was doing to him it was changing something inside of him, he was sure of it. Part of the realization terrified him, but an overwhelming majority of his psyche was addicted to how good these changes felt. As Jace stood at the sink worrying about what was happening to him all that obsessing about what his cum looked like only served to arouse him further and mere moments later he was at full mast, his cock begging to be stroked again.

One of the nurses arrived and picked up Jace's sample as usual.

The day continued like any other for as ordinary as something like this could be.

---

"Well? How does it look?" A deep manly voice asked from out of view.

A few feet away a scientist alternated between looking into a microscope, adjusting it, and scribbling notes onto a pad of paper.

"He's responded very well to the therapy, sir," the scientist said, still intensely focused on his instruments. "The best we've ever seen."

"A suitable candidate?" The other scientist asked.

"Absolutely. Looking at this most recent sample, his sex cells have mutated so closely to our parameters that crossbreeding might even be possible right now. He's so virile, it's crazy."

"Good, good," the inquiring scientist replied.

"His gametes are still changing though," the scientist added. "We should complete this procedure to as close to 100% as we can get before seeing if his genetic material will work."

"Agreed. Send Harlow to Jace's quarters, we will begin the second phase of the experiment once he has been relocated to the Sauriex facilities."

The scientist turned to leave the room, scanning his badge on the reader to unlock the door. As it opened the lights outside flooded into the doorway.

"Oh, and Mersei?" The rex said as he turned back to the scientist.

"Yes, Dr. Karo?" He replied.

"You've done amazing work on this project," Karo said. "The general will be extremely happy to receive the report I'm about to send him. When all this is over and done with I can see a very nice promotion in your future."

"Yes sir, thank you!"

Jace heard a knock at his door. He glanced up from the table he was sitting at to see it open and Harlow step in, cart in tow. The raptor then looked over at the clock.

"What are you doing here Harlow? It's 11:30," Jace asked.

"Oh, just checking in," the rex replied. "But also, I came to give you a booster. Something to help alleviate some of the physical symptoms you've brought up recently."

"Another shot?" The raptor said.

Harlow nodded. "But this one is mostly just a muscle relaxant to ease your nerves. Some of the pain you're feeling might be from them being too active and sensitive, this will help dull that until your body adjusts on its own."

The nurse gestured toward the bed by nodding his head.

"If you would be so kind, please," he added.

Jace stood up from the chair to get settled onto the bed.

"Thanks, it's just that these kinds of shots can either hit you all at once or just gradually take the edge off. I don't want to risk giving you the shot at the table and you losing your balance and injuring yourself."

The raptor nodded and shrugged as he rolled the sleeve on his shirt up. The shot was mostly painless, just like all the others, but after a few seconds though Jace found himself feeling incredibly dizzy, almost drunk.

"Wh- whoa..." the raptor muttered as his eyes fluttered briefly. "Hey... I feel d-dizzy..."

"That's normal, that's why I asked you to lay down of course," the nurse replied. "Just try and relax, you'll feel fine in a moment."

Jace blinked hard several times, his gaze was beginning to rapidly defocus. He stirred slightly, groaning as he very slowly writhed atop the bed sheets. At some point, when exactly unknown to Jace, the raptor passed out and fell into a very deep sleep.

Time passed. Jace groaned. He slowly came to his senses, not sure of how long he was out. Could've been minutes, a few hours. Even an entire day. His head felt like it was filled with violently swirling water. He held his forehead and groaned again.

As the raptor's haze slowly lifted he looked around. He wasn't in the same room that he'd spent the past several weeks in. This one was different, or at least different enough for Jace to immediately know that he woke up in a place other than the last one he could recall being in. The bed he was laying in had a much different mattress, as Jace sat up on it he figured it had to be one of those expensive memory foam ones that "hug" your figure or however the commercials described it. The walls of the old room looked like a hotel, complete with a couple of boring paintings. This room had white walls, with no art. There was a television though, and instead of art there was a full size vertical mirror mounted to the wall over near the bathroom area.

Jace slowly stood up from the bed as he struggled to keep his balance for a few seconds. As he stood up he realized he wasn't wearing any clothes other than the underwear from the other room. He dug through the dresser present in this new room and found only more pairs of just that garment. No shirts, no pants. Confused, Jace slammed the drawer shut and looked around the room again. The kitchen area here was different too, there was a water fountain stuck onto the wall and right next to it was a full size refrigerator. The raptor pulled on the handle to discover not only was the fridge not locked but it was also decently stocked with food. There were a couple of rolls of cured meat, a large bag of some kind of dried jerky, and an entire tray of eggs among the contents. Jace picked an egg out of its case and shook it experimentally. It was solid, like it had been hard-cooked. They were all like that. As Jace looked over the refrigerator and closed it he noticed that there weren't any fruits or snacks in this room, only the contents of the fridge.

"What the fuck is this place?" Jace quietly said to himself.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened. There was no knock. Another rex in a lab coat stepped in, though it was someone Jace didn't recognize.

"Wait, who are you?" Jace asked.

"My name is Dr. Mersei," the rex responded.

"...where's Harlow?"

"Harlow works with our phase one subjects, with the other care staff," Mersei said. "From this point you'll be under my direct care. Jace, is it?"

Dr. Mersei extended his hand out to introduce himself properly.

"Hang on... phase one?" The raptor asked, not shaking the doctor's hand.

"Indeed," the rex answered, pulling his hand back. "You've responded impeccably well to our trial, so we've brought you here to complete the second leg of it."

"Where is 'here'?" Jace asked, leaning forward slightly to read the doctor's badge. "Sauriex Laboratories? Are you with Dimetrocorp?"

"We own Dimetrocorp. We'll have plenty of time to catch up and I can tell you all about this facility in the process. Now then, would you mind coming to the bed so I can take your vitals?"

Jace eyed the doctor suspiciously for several moments but eventually relented and sat on the bed. As Mersei recorded all the same things that Harlow used to do he continued to explain this second facility. The rex seemed to have a plausible answer for every single question Jace threw at him. Lack of full dress was due to the more frequent full body assessments, the slightly uncomfortable warm temperature the place was kept at was for therapeutic reasons, the different food amenities was because this second phase of the trial had different dietary requirements, everything. The only thing Jace doubted him on was how he wound up in this second facility; Mersei insisted that the transfer was explained to Jace and that he agreed to come here, but Jace simply had no memory of that. It was the only thing that rubbed him the wrong way.

Before leaving, Dr. Mersei withdrew a small gun-like object from his tools. Jace recognized it as "gun-like" but really it more closely resembled the barcode guns at the grocery store checkout counters. The rex leaned over to the raptor's lower body and fiddled with the laminated band around his leg. As Mersei adjusted it, Jace remembered there was actually a barcode printed on the band. There was an audible beep as the nurse squeezed the trigger on the gun to read the code and log Jace into the facility's system.

At the same time Jace was used to by now, lunch arrived. It was delivered by a different staff member, another rex naturally, who was also wearing a Sauriex badge. Jace wasn't feeling up for small talk so he simply thanked the nurse as he made his way over to the dining table.

"Holy shit... what?" Jace muttered to himself as he looked down at the plate.

On the divided plate was a cut of braised meat, a small portion of sauteed vegetables, a baked potato, and a piece of very dense-looking bread. It looked like the kind of food that would be served at a restaurant you had to wear a specific set of clothes to dine at. Jace stabbed one of the little cubes of meat with the fork and popped it into his mouth. It tasted exactly like an expensive steak, probably because that's what it clearly was. The vegetables were well-seasoned, the potato somehow wasn't dry, and the thing that looked like a piece of unfrosted cake was actually some sort of semi-sweet cornbread. Compared to the cafeteria food he was eating just the day prior, this was a very significant step up.

Jace rounded out the rest of whatever was left in the current week at this new facility. Mersei replaced Harlow as the person who checked on him each morning and as the start of the week rolled around the doctor showed up with a similar-looking cart of supplies plus the thing that looked like a price gun. As the routine vital reading and blood drawing finished however, Mersei produced a very different looking syringe. The substance inside of this one was a very dark amber and as the rex gently squeezed the plunger to remove any air bubbles Jace watched as a drop of it emerged from the needle and very slowly dripped down the side of it as it heavily clung to the metal.

"This dose is different than the one you're used to," Mersei explained. "You might feel some discomfort, but it will only be temporary."

Jace glanced away as the rex pricked him with the needle but as soon as he started to depress the plunger the raptor felt it immediately. As the thick amber fluid hit his system Jace immediately felt an intense stinging sensation that started in his arm and then ran up and down both sides of it, slowly coursing through his entire body.

"A-ah, shit!" Jace said as he winced and gritted his teeth.

"I know, it's unpleasant," the rex said in a sympathetic tone. "But it's over, lay back a bit and try to relax, you'll feel much better after some rest."

Jace obliged and laid back on the bed finding his new mattress' form-fitting capabilities to be quite comfortable. The way it held him kind of felt like floating, there weren't any pressure points that would be made worse with the ambient feeling of poison ivy wreaking havoc on his body from the inside out. Before he left, Mersei scanned the barcode on Jace's ankle again.

The "more of the same" routine that Jace assumed would be in effect at this new place devolved rather quickly as the week went on. It was most noticeable with the food that was brought to him. It was still excellently prepared, some of the best Jace could remember having, but the portions started to get really strange very quickly. The vegetables disappeared almost instantly. The cut of meat doubled in size, and so did the very dense bread. The potato was also now served with a ridiculous amount of melted butter, almost to the point where it was unpalatable. Mersei carried over the insistence that eating the entire serving was important so Jace did his best to eat everything but found himself simply unable to do so. Each singular meal had to be at least 1,500 calories apiece with all the additional toppings and portion sizes, and there were still three of them every day.

As Jace awoke one morning and walked to the bathroom to relieve himself he heard a very light clacking sound with the few steps he took on the smooth floor on his way to the toilet. He heard it again as he stepped over to the sink. Curiously, the raptor looked down at the floor and leaned forward a bit as he noticed something a bit strange. Jace reached over and closed the seat on the toilet so he could sit down on it. He crossed one leg and brought his foot up closer to his face and noticed that the claws on his toes were longer. Not by much, but they were definitely longer, or at least long enough to clack on the floor when he walked. As he fumbled with his foot Jace also noticed that the little claws on his fingers were ever so slightly different too, also nearly imperceptibly longer.

Despite moving to a new facility and receiving different food and supposedly a modified treatment, Jace was still as horny as ever, perhaps even more so now. Part of his morning routine involved blowing off some pent up sexual tension... which was also now part of his bedtime routine too. The raptor found himself distractingly aroused one night and figured seeking release might help him get to sleep easier. He tugged his underwear down to let his cock breathe and slowly ran his fingers along its length. He cupped his hand around his balls softly for a moment, holding them and squeezing them ever so slightly. His package had grown in size, he could tell not only by feeling it but also how heavily it hung under him when he wasn't wearing underwear. It was a gradual change, but it was definitely happening.

The raptor grinned to himself as he started his usual routine of stroking his shaft. He adored how big he felt. Not just his manhood and sack, but the loads he produced. It was all just... big. As Jace brought himself to climax he eagerly looked down as his cock to watch his seed erupt from it. He shuddered and curled his toes a bit as the familiar feeling of his thick and viscous cum rushing up his length overwhelmed his senses. The spurt of seed was so much that it didn't even have time to finish before the second one rushed up behind it and flooded out too. The raptor's entire orgasm was nearly a steady stream of his copious seed from start to finish. It felt incredible.

As Jace began to clean himself up he noticed that his cum had changed again. It was now... stringy? For lack of a better word. It was still a thick fluid but it was now riddled with several very thin goopy strands of, well, Jace had no idea. He gently swirled a bit of it around on his chest and rubbed it between his fingers softly. The strands were only a few inches long each, sorta stuck together, and were quite fragile.

Mersei arrived at the start of the next week with another vial of the thicker liquid. It stung again as it was injected into Jace, but not as much as the first one. He could still feel the incredibly dense fluid slowly creep through his body though. It pumped into every inch of his figure, everywhere. The raptor felt it travel through his arms and such, but he also could feel it settle in his chest, through his heart and stomach. Up his neck. He could even feel it flow into his manhood as the blood circulated there too. It felt strange, but even stranger to Jace he found that he kind of liked the sensation. He grinned as he watched the rex set another empty sample cup on the table before leaving.

Jace was free to go about his business for the next several days as usual. The portions he was being served each meal didn't change again, but the raptor surprised himself with how eagerly he was able to clean his plate now. A little while into the week he even found himself hungry between meals and ate a couple of the eggs in the cooler to tide him over until dinner. He didn't realize it but the reason his meals were so calorie and protein dense was because a lot more of his body than just his maleness was changing now. Jace did notice that he felt uncomfortably warm almost constantly, though he wasn't sure if that was just because the room was already just a little too hot all the time. The lights in the room started to bother him on occasion; they felt too bright. The lights hadn't been adjusted at all, but now Jace found himself suddenly very sensitive to them. He also noticed that he itched often enough for it to be apparent, but only around his forehead. The irritation was localized up near his temples, behind his eyes. Individually these little things would all just be minor annoyances, but since they came and went at random - sometimes together - it was all just slightly overwhelming.

Jace woke up one morning painfully erect. This was nothing new to the raptor, by this point this was something that happened every single day. His shaft was tenting out his underwear considerably, which Jace removed as he stepped over to the bathroom to take a quick shower. His toe claws clinked on the floor as he stepped into the standing stall and turned on the water. Jace sighed as the cool water blasted him right on his chest, it was perhaps his one brief escape from the claustrophobic heat of the rest of the room. He decided to kill two birds with one stone while in the shower and started pumping his still erect shaft with one hand, though as quickly as he started the raptor immediately stopped and looked down at his crotch. Something wasn't right.

He'd become more intimately aware of his manhood these past several weeks than he ever had in his entire life up to that point, so when he reached down to jack himself off he was able to tell instantly that something was different. The shape of his cock, it had changed. The head of Jace's shaft naturally had a slight point to it, that was normal for his species, but now that point was more pronounced. Like everything else he'd noticed about himself that was different the change wasn't night and day but it was just enough to make itself known. It also seemed like there was less of the loose yellow skin of his member too, it was barely able to reach across the ridge of his tip whereas before all but just a very little bit of it was covered by his foreskin. Jace experimentally felt around on his cock and could swear that even the tissue under it that made it erect felt different as well.

The changes were worrisome, but even as Jace was observing those changes with his own eyes his need to release overpowered everything. He surrendered to his yearning for pleasure and resumed stroking his cock in the shower, shooting another load of his thick stringy cum straight down the stall's drain.

Like clockwork, Dr. Mersei continued to check in at the usual intervals. He was rarely more than a minute or two off in either direction, his timeliness was uncanny. He showed up at the usual time a couple of days later to collect another round of blood and everything else, though this time the process came with another step.

"I wanted to let you know that you're doing so very well, Jace," the rex said with a smile as he took his usual readings.

Jace forced a weak smile back, but didn't verbally reply. He knew the doctor's affirmations were genuine, but he also knew there was a remarkable amount of dishonesty in the way he conducted business. The raptor had sussed out that this "gene therapy" thing wasn't real, at least not the way it had been conveyed to him. He'd figured that out weeks prior, long before he'd been transferred to this second facility. He knew they were doing something to him. He just didn't know what it was and for what reason, but now the changes happening to him were becoming harder to miss. It was more than just thicker cum and bigger loads. Each of his toe claws were now at least an inch or so longer and slightly narrower, the claws on his fingers had elongated slightly too. The raptor also swore that his teeth even felt different, like the ones at the corners of his snout were longer and sharper.

The raptor glanced over as Mersei prepped the next dose he was about to give him. Jace watched the rex as he pressed the tip of the needle against his arm, the needle didn't immediately break the skin. Instead Jace's arm gave inward a bit as the needle made a slight indentation before the tip eventually did breach and slip inside. That was something certainly different, too. Jace sucked in a deep breath and leaned back into his bed. The familiar sensation of that thick liquid spreading through his body settled in, covering him like a warm blanket. It didn't sting at all anymore, it was comforting in a way.

"Don't get too comfortable," Mersei said with a slight laugh.

"Huh? Why?" Jace asked, looking over from the bed.

"We're going to start running some physical tests on you. You know, the usual stuff like connecting a couple of electrodes to you and watching your vitals as you walk on a treadmill. Simple things."

"Oh... well, okay," the raptor replied.

"We'll start after your breakfast. Oh, and speaking of meals we will be adding a fourth one starting today. Your lunch and dinner times will be shifted just a bit to make even room for this one."

Jace nodded, largely nonplussed about the news.

The raptor laid in bed until breakfast arrived at the top of the following hour. He felt dizzy again. The lights were bothering him. He itched his forehead, realizing in the process that it felt like he had a welt of some sort there like he'd hit his head on something.

One of the other caretakers brought Jace his breakfast at the usual time and about a half hour after that Mersei returned to bring Jace to the physical therapy room. The prospect intrigued Jace because as far as he could recall this was the first time he was actually able to leave his room. The doctor guided him out and down the connecting hallway, letting Jace finally see what was on the other side of the door. The facility looked like a cross between a contemporary hospital and, as strange as it sounded, a computer server farm. The air was warm out here too, and the floor was a smooth polished tile. Bright lights lined the ceiling all around. There were apparently rooms close to Jace's, though he never heard a single peep from any of them the entire time he'd been there. Granted, he was fairly quiet himself but surely he'd have been able to at least hear the television or a radio if someone else had one on.

There were sparingly few other people present in the halls. As Jace assumed, they were all tyrannosaurs too. Male. None of them seemed to break from what they were doing for long, only just quickly enough to glance up from a legal pad or whatever to see who was walking around before focusing their attention back to their business. Jace felt strange being the only person who apparently was not dressed; all of the other staff were wearing standard formal clothes and laboratory smocks whereas he was walking around clad in just a pair of underwear that did nothing to hide his endowment. Nobody really seemed bothered by that though, which itself was also odd.

Dr. Mersei brought Jace to another room and scanned his badge. As he held the door open for Jace the raptor stepped inside and gave the room a casual glancing over. It was furnished with everything one would expect from a simple gym, just with a more medical appearance. The treadmill the doctor had mentioned was there, as was the EKG machine next to it. There was a weight set and a barbell, a couple of exercise balls, and one of those weight lifting machines that was used to work your calves. Jace could never remember what the name of that one was.

As Mersei guided Jace over to the treadmill the raptor heard the familiar sound of the door opening. He turned around to see who had entered. He was expecting another rex of some persuasion, but the reality couldn't have been further from the truth.

Jace jumped backward and shrieked.

"What the fuck is that?!" He blurted out.

"Oh," the rex said with a chuckle. "This is one of our Misses. She is going to be assisting with the tests today. Now that you're outside of your room, you might see some others like her."

The being now standing in the room looked nothing like anything Jace had ever seen, at all. He'd heard the doctor refer to her as a woman, and as Jace eyed her over he figured it made some sense. The being did have a figure that suggested femininity, just without a lot of the details that you'd expect to see on a woman. She had a thin frame, her skin a very soft mint green, and a vaguely pronounced chest and hips but no breasts or nipples. She wasn't quite genderless though, as since she was also completely nude Jace was able to see a genital slit of some kind on her crotch. Her feet were bizarre, two long talon-like claws with a smaller third one pointing back. Her hands were more normal-looking, but still off considerably; she had thumbs but only two large fingers on her hands, each tipped with a pointed nail just like her toes.

But the most alarming feature was her face. She wasn't saurian, or reptilian. Jace didn't know what she was, to be honest. She had a very angular head, similar to a shark's but adapted to be flatter and more movable on a bipedal body, and two large eyes that were completely red. Jutting forth from the front points of her head were two erect antennae, and what Jace assumed was her mouth was comprised of a couple of sideways mandibles covering up the rest of her teeth. She was very clearly some kind of insect, but Jace had absolutely zero frame of reference for what she could've actually been.

The entire time she'd been standing there, she hadn't said a word.

"...Misses?" Jace asked. "Does she have a name?"

"No," Mersei answered, focusing his attention back to Jace like there was absolutely nothing strange happening in that very moment. "None of them do. We just refer to them as 'Miss' as a formality."

A puzzled expression settled upon the raptor's face.

"I uh, I'm sorry if I upset you?" Jace said to the Misses.

"It's fine," the doctor assured. "She's not able to speak, but the Misses are quite passive."

Mersei continued onward with his physical examinations. Jace obliged and participated in them as he was asked, but the entire time he was in that room he was unable to shake the uncanniness of the strange... woman, thing, that was also in there with them. She was completely silent, but despite that seemed to have some amount of intelligence and the ability to understand directions. She mostly helped with applying the EKG pads and helping to retrieve small items like water and food when Jace asked for it. At times she lingered around quite close to Jace, uncomfortably so. Jace didn't feel like he was in any immediate danger, he just wasn't sure how to psychologically process what to him could've very well been some kind of actual alien just hanging by with the antennae on her head twitching seemingly at random every so often.

The new physical therapy regimen turned out to be an every day thing, much to Jace's dismay. He didn't exactly mind doing it but he certainly wasn't enthusiastic about it. As he was getting ready to start his second session he noticed the bug woman from the day prior step into the room and set a clipboard down on a nearby bartop. He asked Dr. Mersei if that was the same one from yesterday. The rex shrugged and said he wasn't sure. She certainly looked like the one he'd seen prior. Jace decided to ask the Misses directly, realizing that while she couldn't talk she could at least shake or nod her head. She didn't respond with a gesture of any sort.

As the week neared its end Jace had loosely hoped that perhaps he wouldn't have to do a physical therapy session on the weekends, but Dr. Mersei showed up after breakfast on Saturday at the usual time and brought him back to the training room anyways.

The session went on like the others had prior, though just as Jace had finished his balance tests and was getting ready to get hooked up to the EKG by the treadmill Mersei shared a minor hiccup with him.

"It seems the EKG won't power on," the rex said as he peered over the top of the device to its backside at all of the cables running out of it.

He continued to mess with the machine for several minutes before sighing and looking up at Jace.

"We have another one that I can bring in," he added. "Let me go get that, I'll be back in a minute."

The doctor left the room leaving Jace and the Misses to wait. Jace retreated to the chair next to the treadmill that Dr. Mersei usually sat in and plopped down into it with a huff. The raptor glanced over at the assistant whose attention was focused on the door for several moments before turning away from it to look at Jace. She took a few careful steps over to the chair he was in until she was standing next to it. Slowly, she leaned down a bit, her antennae shifting every few seconds. Jace eyed her cautiously, not certain what the assistant was doing. She tilted her head slightly before slowly raising one of her arms up, pointing at his lower stomach.

"What?" Jace asked as he looked down at his abdomen before looking back up at the woman.

She didn't respond in a meaningful way, the being just shifted her pointing finger a bit and continued her gesture.

"I don't get it... here?" The raptor asked, now pointing to his own abdomen.

The woman's finger dipped downward slightly as she leaned slightly closer. It took a second, but Jace realized she was pointing at the underwear he was wearing. Someone here was doing the raptor's laundry because clean clothes were brought in weekly, though unbeknownst to Jace the person washing his clothes was also the assistant currently in the room with him. His worn clothing that she'd been handling was heavy with a pheromone presently imperceptible to Jace, but not to her. The assistant slowly reached toward the raptor's lower half, prompting him to awkwardly shift to the side just a bit.

The woman stopped and blinked a couple of times as her antennae twitched. She pointed with her extended hand again, this time making a downward waggling gesture with her finger.

By now Jace was aware that the Misses was apparently curious at what was behind what little clothing he was wearing. The raptor's sex drive was as high as it ever was, but in the back of his head he knew this was all incredibly weird. Still, even just the suggestion of something sexual was enough to get his blood pumping and despite Jace's weariness he could feel his cock rapidly firming up and bulging out the front of his underwear even more than it already was. He chose to throw caution to the wind and hooked his thumbs into the sides of his shorts and pulled the front of them down allowing his erect manhood to emerge into full view.

"This?" Jace asked.

The assistant shifted back a bit before slowly leaning back down again, the sensory organs jutting out of her head now much more active. Jace's shaft had continued to change in the time that passed since he realized something was different in the shower the other morning. It was still very much a spire of flesh that was unmistakably male, but looked nothing like the cock you'd see on a dinosaur. Its pointed tip had continued to further define itself into a more prominent shape, the crest behind it also having thickened and raised noticeably. His maleness had also become segmented with three more ridges just like the one behind its tip having formed on his flesh. His foreskin and the yellow skin that made up the majority of his manhood were gone, the entire organ had smoothed itself out and adopted a shade of reddish-purple from its tip all the way to its base where the skin faded back to yellow. His sack still kept its yellow skin tone, very tightly hugging its contents.

The silence in the room broke as the assistant extended her open hand toward Jace's crotch and vocalized a strange raspy clicking sound. She very gingerly touched the raptor's manhood causing it to twitch involuntarily. The sudden movement caused her to quickly withdraw her hand a bit, but she soon resumed touching the organ this time wrapping her fingers around it and squeezing it softly. As the Misses explored the piece of anatomy presented to her Jace found himself also looking at her figure as well. He reached out to the side and placed his hand on her thigh, feeling her smooth skin and discovering that it was quite firm and inflexible. The Misses briefly acknowledged the touch by glancing over to the raptor's hand before going back to what she'd been doing. Jace cupped part of the assistant's thigh in his palm and guided his hand down toward its inner side where his fingers gently grazed the slit between her legs. The woman vocalized again, this time a light hiss.

---

Dr. Karo stood a couple of steps behind Mersei, peering over the sitting rex's shoulder at a CCTV feed spread across three monitors.

"He's definitely not averse, curious at the very least," Mersei said also watching the screens, noting Jace touching the Misses and pointing to him with the pen in his hand.

"Hmm... seems like it," Karo replied with a slow nod.

The two rexes stayed where they were, fixated on the monitors to see how this "test" of theirs would unfold.

---

The Misses looked up at Jace, locking eyes with him. She stood up slowly, and pointed at his shaft once again while nodding slightly. A million thoughts raced through the raptor's head but the one that came to the forefront was simple: he wanted to fuck her. This... this, bug woman? Whatever she was. Jace hadn't yet had a chance to relieve himself that morning and was already on edge. There mere thought of release had his shaft aching and slowly dribbling the occasional bead of precum. The creature standing before him looked nothing like any woman he'd ever seen before, she barely had the most minimal of physical characteristics to identify her as one. He wasn't aroused by her specifically, but the idea of a quick fling overrode all reason.

Jace roused himself from the chair he was sitting in and kicked his underwear off in the process. The Misses stepped over to the front side of the heavy treadmill and leaned against it slightly. The raptor joined her there, stepping up to right in front of her. His face was close enough to hers that he could hear her breathing in strange short breaths. He reached down and held his cock and guided it between the woman's thighs, the top side of his flesh sliding across her slit. The assistant shivered slightly as she made another several gentle clicking sounds. Jace pulled his hips back a bit and pressed the head of his shaft against the Misses' slit. It took a slight push, but the raptor found the area around the assistant's crotch to be just slightly more pliable and it eventually gave way to let him inside.

The raptor couldn't help but let out an intense moan as the first segment of his manhood entered the woman with the others slowly following. As he completed one full stroke he felt like he could just blow his load right then and there. Her canal was unlike anything he'd known. It was quite slick as opposed to being soft and fleshy, and was very tight. It practically conformed to the exact shape of his cock. Jace steadied himself and pulled back a few inches so he could make another thrust. His hands found their way to the Misses' hips and he held her gently as he began to slowly roll his hips forward into her. She felt like absolute heaven. After weeks of nothing but using his own hands to get himself off Jace relished in the experience of being able to finally have sex with someone again even if his partner was some bizarre insectoid woman.

Jace gradually picked up his pace as he felt his release rapidly building. He leaned in closer to the assistant, his chest now pressing against hers as the underside of his head rested on her shoulder. The woman responded by wrapping her arms around the raptor. Jace gasped as he felt her pointed claws dip into his skin slightly. The sudden rush of his nerves firing off that brief jolt of pain hit his brain that was already swimming with sexual pleasure and in an instant he reached orgasm. The raptor trembled as his cock throbbed and released a generous rope of seed deep into the Misses. His altered manhood began to steadily ooze cum on its own in between the intense pulses that launched jet after jet of it further into the woman. Jace held onto the assistant tightly as he rutted and grinded his hips against her, not wanting to stop until his swollen balls had dumped every last drop of spunk they had brewed up overnight.

Jace had zero concept of how long he laid atop the assistant catching his breath. However long it was, she was politely patient despite the raptor's continuous moans and sighs as little pangs of pleasure continued to strike him long after he'd released his load. Eventually, Jace leaned back upright. As he slowly withdrew his cock from the woman a steady stream of his pearlescent stringy seed spilled out of her and formed a thick puddle on the floor. Noticing this, the Misses went to a nearby cabinet and retrieved several cloth towels. She used one of them to gently wipe herself clean before crouching down to start cleaning up the mess on the floor. Jace knelt down with her to help, taking an extra towel so he could wipe the mess off of himself as well.

Once everything had been mopped up the assistant took the soiled towels to a hamper near the exit and placed them inside. Dr. Mersei arrived several minutes later with a new EKG in tow. He apologized for taking so long and seemed none the wiser that anything had happened while he was out. Jace completed the rest of his physical tests and was brought back to his room as usual.

The next morning, Mersei visited Jace to record all of his vitals just as he always had. Though, this time part of the way into the procedure the doctor broke from his usual routine of either silence or boring small talk to bring up a different topic.

"Oh, and in the future, Jace," the rex started, "if you were seeking - ahem - release, you can let me or one of the other doctors know. We can arrange something to help with that here in your room. Please don't engage in sexual activity elsewhere in the facility, we had to sterilize the entire physical therapy room after your little romp yesterday."

Jace froze.

"...h-how did you know?" The raptor asked.

Mersei laughed. "Do you think this entire facility exists without surveillance equipment of any kind?"

Jace felt his face turn red hot, hotter than the uncomfortable bouts of warmth and hot flashes he'd been dealing with for weeks.

"There's no need to be embarrassed about it," Mersei assured. "The urge to copulate is normal, it's why we're all here after all. If you are feeling pent up, let us know and we can bring one of the Misses to you. The one you were with yesterday seemed to really like you, ha ha."

Jace forced out a slight chuckle in return as he mentally processed the fact that Dr. Mersei had literally just told him that any time Jace wanted to he'd bring one of the assistants here for Jace to fuck. It was a strange proposition. It almost seemed unethical in a way.

"I know. I was rash, I'm sorry," Jace said. "I uh, I finished inside of her... is that bad?"

"Not at all," Dr. Mersei replied. "All of the Misses are infertile."

"The Misses," Jace said. "Are they all female?"

Mersei looked up from the blood pressure cuff he was reading.

"Would you prefer the company of another man?" The rex asked.

"No!" Jace blurted out. "It's just, I was wondering who... or what... they exactly were. That's all."

"Oh," the rex said as he turned his attention back to his instruments. "Well, the finer details are complicated, but the Misses are something of a collective. A colony, if you will. Between the lot of them there isn't much individuality, but they are quite intelligent and apt to helping out with menial tasks around the facility."

"How many of them are there?" Jace asked.

"That's a good question, actually," Mersei replied without providing an exact answer.

"...where did they all come from?"

"That's a conversation for another day," he replied.

As Dr. Mersei delivered his cryptic answer Jace noticed a very slight smile form on his face. He wasn't sure how to read that, but it came off as foreboding. Almost like the doctor inadvertently let something slip that he wasn't supposed to.

"Before I go," Mersei added, "I brought you these to wear. They should help with the sensitivity to the lights that you've brought up several times."

The rex handed Jace a pair of sunglasses with larger, and darker, than usual lenses. They looked like the kind that were handed out by optometrists during eye exams except these were proper glasses and not disposable ones. Jace thanked Mersei for the glasses, and over the course of the next couple of days they certainly came in handy and actually served their intended purpose quite well. As Jace wore them around though he began to notice some strange visual anomalies that he hadn't seen prior. One of the first ones he noticed was that brighter objects like sheets of paper seemed to have an unexplainable hue around their edges, a soft sort of strange bluish color. The way light interacted with things seemed different somehow, and the fuzzy edge hues that the raptor noticed started to appear on other things too, especially red ones.

Jace figured the strange colors were just because the glasses were tinted in a weird way, but after a couple of days of wearing them around he began to also see them when he wasn't wearing the glasses at all. The anomalies were everywhere now. On the clock. On the food he ate. On the Misses he saw around the facility. Jace even saw the artifacts on his own body in the mirror.

Jace awoke the next morning to an intense burning sensation in his face. As he tossed side to side in bed and further emerged from sleep the burning became concentrated to the upper half of his face and, finally, his eyes. He rubbed them with the sides of his hands and blinked several times hoping the discomfort was temporary. The raptor was about to glance over at the clock beside his bed until he noticed he could somehow already see it. He could also see all the way to his other side as well. He could see literally everything in front of and slightly next to him without needing to move his eyes around. As this first realization sank in, Jace also realized that he couldn't actually move his eyes at all.

Immediately, the raptor jumped out of his bed. He rushed over to the mirror hanging on the wall and as he looked at himself he let out an involuntary shriek.

His eyes were now a deep burgundy red. All of them, the entire organ.

Jace panicked. He looked absolutely monstrous. All of the changes that had happened to him up to that point were alarming, but to him this one was downright terrifying. He ran across his room and started pressing the "call" button on the intercom over and over again. He'd used it before, plenty of times, and knew that pressing it once was enough but he was too overwhelmed with emotion to process thoughts rationally. He was convinced he was blind now despite physically looking at himself in the mirror moments prior. He wasn't thinking straight at all.

Sensing trouble, Dr. Mersei was the staffer who showed up almost immediately when he heard Jace hammering on the intercom nonstop.

"Mersei!" Jace blurted out. "Wh-what's happening?"

"Jace!" The doctor replied surprised.

"Jace, here, come sit down," he continued in a much calmer tone as he walked into the room and pulled out the chair from the dining table and gestured toward it.

"Mersei... what is this?" Jace asked, now sitting. "I'm... I'm scared..." he added weakly.

"I know this must be quite the shock, but you are going to be completely fine."

The rex was speaking in a comforting tone that Jace had never heard before. He was used to Mersei being so formal all the time. For all the skepticism the raptor treated him with, the doctor actually seemed genuine for once. At least, Jace prayed that was the case. Dr. Mersei inspected the raptor as he spoke, shining the pen light from his coat pocket into Jace's eyes to look at them.

"Are they... going to go back to normal?" Jace asked sheepishly.

"Jace," Mersei replied with a sigh. "You and I are a long way from 'normal' now. I think we're both aware of that."

Jace glanced down at the table in front of him as an overwhelming feeling of despair hit him. He'd have cried, though the raptor quickly discovered he couldn't even do that anymore.

The doctor crouched down into a squatting position so he was level with Jace. He stretched his arm out and placed his hand on the raptor's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Whatever you think of me, I know I probably deserve it. We're almost at the end of this experiment. When it's over, you will be treated to a life that even the wealthiest people could only dream of. As dishonest as I have been with you, as everyone here has for that matter, this I can promise you."

Jace didn't respond. Dr. Mersei stayed with him in silence for a few moments before standing back up and giving him a gentle pat on his shoulder. He quietly left the room. Once the door had closed behind him completely he stood there for a few seconds. The rex let out an exasperated sigh, holding his eyes shut as he did so.

The sheer fear response that hit Jace killed his emotions for the entire day, including his usual extremely elevated libido. The next morning however, he was mostly back to his usual self. For a long time now he'd known that the point of no return was impossibly far in the past. He was along for the ride and his curiosity got the better of him and largely kept the gravity of matters from sinking in. That delayed response hit him all at once when he saw what had happened to his face, but in reality he knew he'd accepted what was happening to him and was letting these changes unfold. He'd been blocking the thoughts out but in an instant it clicked, he was turning into one of those bug things. It was impossible to ignore. He wondered how much of him was even still a dinosaur.

Jace propped himself up in bed and leaned his back against the wall. He tugged his underwear off and tossed them to the foot of the mattress. For the past several days they were starting to feel a little too tight, and the raptor was now content to just not wear them anymore. Jace ran his hand along the side of his sack and hefted it slightly. He never got tired of how full they always felt. He was never sated; if the raptor wanted to he could simply spend the entire day pleasuring himself and probably release enough cum to fill an entire milk gallon jug and then some. His balls were always producing more seed seemingly faster than he could release it now. Jace was always hungry, too. When he wasn't working on shooting another load he was clearing out the refrigerator in his room of its contents.

Jace had been stroking himself for several minutes now while lost in thought. He arched his back slightly and let the absolute bliss of orgasm melt his worries away. His manhood still pulsed and throbbed but it felt like a vestigial response at this point, a thick stream of seed simply poured out of his cock nonstop for nearly a solid minute before tapering off.

The raptor sighed deeply as he savored the afterglow of his release. He looked down at the absolute mess he made on the bed and smiled. That strange sea shell sheen he'd noticed weeks ago was substantially more pronounced now that his altered eyes could apparently see much more of the color spectrum than he could before. His cum looked so strange. It was still mostly white, but the pearly streaks of color really stood out and practically glowed. Just by tilting his head slightly to change his perspective Jace watched as the shimmering pastel streaks of pink and green became blue and yellow. It was mesmerizing, beautiful even. He often found himself wondering just who - or what - his seed could now impregnate.

The thought of that, impregnation, drove Jace absolutely wild now. This burning need to procreate had been welling inside of him for a while but it was now a fire that consumed him entirely. He would routinely request the "services" of one of the Misses almost every day and mate with them multiple times throughout the evening. Every time he shot his load into them he hoped that this one would be the one that would somehow break the laws of nature and conceive.

A couple of weeks passed. The start of another one was here. Dr. Mersei arrived at Jace's door and greeted the raptor as he stepped inside, though this time he had brought nothing with him.

"Where's the cart?" Jace asked after exchanging pleasantries with the doctor.

"We don't need it this time," Mersei replied with a smile.

"The second phase of this experiment has ended," he continued. "Congratulations Jace, you were able to do what no one else before you could."

"What does that mean? What's next?" Jace asked.

"Well, it means we start the third phase of course," the rex said with a laugh.

"Don't worry though," Dr. Mersei added as he noticed Jace was about to say something. "This part is easy, and I think you'll really enjoy it. Come with me."

Jace shrugged and stood up from his bed. His body had continued to slowly change, the ones that had happened so far continuing to refine themselves. His hands and feet had elongated slightly and now closely resembled those of the Misses, just that he still had all of his fingers and toes. Jace was correct when he thought his teeth had changed slightly as they were now all a little longer and each one incredibly sharp. His teeth all still fit in his mouth though, as his head had changed shape ever so slightly to adopt a more angular look. His physical form had stayed mostly the same but had toned considerably as his altered metabolism had essentially evaporated nearly all of his body fat. His skin had also become much tougher, the last time Mersei tried to administer a dose of serum - the final one - the needle simply broke from being pressed too hard against Jace's skin and required a much thicker one.

But perhaps the most noticeable change to Jace was that jutting forth from the front points of his head were two spindly antennae, sprouting from the itchy welts that had bothered the raptor for weeks.

Jace followed Mersei out of the room and into a part of the facility he'd never been to before, one that required quite a substantial elevator trip down to reach. The elevator opened into a small room with a large door on its other end. As the two stepped into the room, Dr. Mersei grabbed one of the respirator masks hanging on the wall and put it on.

"What's that for?" Jace asked.

"The atmosphere down here isn't something most people are adapted to handle," the rex replied as he adjusted the mask so it sat level on his snout.

"...do I need one?"

"Not at all, you probably won't even notice a thing."

Mersei approached the doors ahead and reached into his pocket. From it he produced a very different looking metallic card and tapped it to the reader nearby which then opened to reveal not only a pad that the rex placed his entire hand on but an optical scanner as well. Jace watched, realizing that whatever was down here had to be important if getting in required this much trouble to open the door.

A hissing sound filled the entire room as it depressurized and the atmosphere equalized with the ambient stasis on the other side. Slowly, the doors opened to reveal a rock tunnel dotted with light panels mounted to the ceiling every few feet. Almost immediately a wave of intense heat filled the airlock. Jace's antennae sprung to life as the heat filled the room. The organs tingled intensely, and almost immediately Jace became fully erect. Mersei turned around to motion for Jace to follow him and noticed his prominent erection. The rex smiled knowingly, though Jace couldn't see his grin behind the respirator.

The raptor followed Mersei down the tunnel. Every so often one of the Misses would cross their path and like clockwork all of them would stop to watch Jace walk by, fixated on his manhood. The tingling radiating through Jace's antennae got stronger the further he ventured into the tunnels until they rounded a corner into a huge room. Jace's eyes widened as he took in what he saw.

Present in the room, resting on a large pad of bedding, was an absolutely massive insect-like creature. Superficially, it resembled all of the Misses in the sense that it was mostly a similar shade of green and had the same head shape. It had six legs, though the front two seemed to be more akin to arms as the creature's body was loosely upright from the front half forward. Its body and appendages were very thick and muscular, something that was necessary because the back half of the insect consisted almost entirely of a massive olive green abdomen. The creature was being tended to by several of the bipedal Misses who were rubbing something onto its skin while another was either feeding it something or cleaning its mandibles.

"Jace," Mersei finally spoke. "I would like to introduce you to our queen, Zyxerra."

Jace's mouth hung slightly agape. The raptor was awestruck. The rex chuckled as he observed Jace's reaction.

"Ladies?" Mersei called to the assistants tending to Zyxerra. "You may return to your quarters for now, our subject is here to fulfill the queen's needs."

The women in the room looked over at the two dinosaurs in unison before dropping everything they were doing and leaving the room.

"I will let you two get acquainted," the doctor said. "I'll be back to get you later."

Jace didn't get a chance to say or ask anything, Mersei practically vanished. The air in the room felt thick. It was almost a sauna down here, but it didn't seem to bother Jace at all. He walked further into the room and stood before the queen who had taken several cumbersome steps of her own in Jace's direction. She craned her body down as close to Jace's level as she could by way of crouching her legs and leaning forward. Even still, she was a foot and a half above him. Zyxerra chittered curiously as her antennae flexed and moved. Her chambers were already a swamp of her own pheromones, which is what had hit Jace in the airlock and brought him to instant arousal, but what Jace was unaware of is that he was emanating pheromones of his own and the queen was able to sense them. Zyxerra could tell from Jace's scent that he was incredibly virile.

The closer Jace stood to Zyxerra the more aroused he became. His senses were beyond overloaded, every possible stimulus was cranked up to 11, including the new sense that came with his antennae. The queen leaned her head forward and brushed her own antennae against his. In an instant, Jace immediately felt her influence. He gasped and his eyes widened as her organs danced with his, the raptor's seeming to spring to life all on their own. He could "hear" her in some abstract way, not by literal speech but what felt to him like thoughts being fed directly into his brain. His mind was flooded with imagery of mating and breeding. The raptor had zero clue how to direct his own thoughts, emotions, whatever they were, back to the Zyxerra. He focused on his own feelings of arousal and hoped that by just drumming up those mental images that she'd receive them. As the queen chirped and caressed Jace's chest and crotch he figured the idea worked, and he now had only one thing on his mind.

Jace walked around to the back of the queen and stood behind her abdomen. Her oviduct was already slightly agape, eagerly awaiting its missing puzzle piece. The raptor couldn't help but admire what he saw. To anyone else Zyxerra's backside just looked like a fleshy pink hole, but with Jace's expanded vision he could see a haze of colors and hues that he could barely comprehend. They were doing things to his mind that he could not explain. As he stood there looking at Zyxerra's opening he felt a strange primal urge, a truth, that his sole mission in life was to slide his cock into this orifice and not pull out until his balls were, metaphorically, shriveled husks. Until he was dry firing, even with his wildly altered libido and semen production.

He stepped up right behind Zyxerra and stuffed his throbbing bug cock all the way into her awaiting entrance. Zyxerra's oviduct was incredibly loose, but as soon as she felt Jace enter her the entire canal tightened up around the raptor's shaft and sucked him in as deep as she could with one strong undulation.

Jace cried out in pleasure as he felt Zyxerra clench around him. Nothing, absolutely nothing, that he'd ever experienced had felt this good. He hadn't even cum yet and he already felt a jolt of pleasure ten times as strong as an orgasm. The raptor's knees trembled, but he held fast and began grinding his crotch against the queen's abdomen. He didn't even need to thrust into her, Zyxerra's oviduct was doing all the work flexing and undulating in a way that practically milked Jace's cock.

He didn't last long. Moments later the raptor moaned and shuddered as his manhood erupted into the queen. His cock didn't even throb anymore by this point. His transformation into the perfect mate was complete. His shaft was now just pumping a steady stream of his cum into the hive's queen and the rhythmic contractions of her inner muscles were drawing every drop of it deep into her ovarioles. Jace laid forward on Zyxerra's abdomen and continued to grind his crotch against her. He alternated between moaning and sighing as he felt his balls churn and dump their contents into the queen. His insatiable libido, all those loads wasted just from trying to manage his urges. This was the one that finally mattered. This flood of mutant alien bug seed was the one that would create life. His progeny would be a colony of dinosaur/insect hybrids because of this very moment, and all the moments like it to follow.

All the changes to Jace's body had gradually extended his orgasms as he had so much more seed to expel, but they did eventually come to an end. Even with Zyxerra's impossibly perfect milking drawing out and prolonging the raptor's climax his flood of cum slowly tapered off. Jace was still rock hard however, and he continued to rut and press his hips into the queen's generous abdomen. Zyxerra's contractions kept him erect and every stroke continued to send ripples of pleasure through his entire body. A few minutes passed like this until Jace's breathing slowly began to pick up. He could feel himself already preparing to cum again. He grinned and tightly gripped Zyxerra's abdomen with his elongated fingers and claws and murred aloud as he felt his manhood explode inside of her a second time. Another full load of seed just as big as the first one was expertly milked out of Jace and siphoned away deep into the queen's reproductive tract.

Jace lost count of how many times he came inside of Zyxerra. He'd also lost track of time itself in the process. He had no idea how long he'd been down there just breeding with the hive queen over and over again. A point was reached where Zyxerra had had her fill and was sated after milking a seemingly impossible amount of seed out of her suitor. Jace felt positively drained, he'd practically collapsed atop Zyxerra for his last few climaxes too tired to even move and content to just let her oviduct do all the work. His abdomen and lower body were sore with the same lingering dull pain one would have after exercising too extensively. His swollen balls ached as they continued to try and produce more seed but the reserve of nutrients in the raptor's body was extinguished. Jace felt drained in a way he could barely process, but was also at a level of contentment that radiated warmly inside of him.

---

Jace laid against Zyxerra for a period of time until a familiar voice broke him from his daze.

"Good morning Jace," Dr. Mersei said, standing in the queen's chamber with a couple of womanly assistants in tow.

"M... morning?" Jace replied as he slowly brought himself back up to a mostly standing but still slightly hunched over position.

"Yes, you've been down here an entire day."

The rex glanced over at Zyxerra before looking back to the raptor.

"It seems like our little matchmaking endeavor was a success," Mersei said with a slight chuckle. "How are you feeling?"

Jace groaned slightly. He'd been fucking and breeding the alien queen for so long that an entire day had passed. He realized that at no point did the thought of eating or resting or anything else even come close to crossing his mind. He was singularly focused on completing his most primordial of directives, and nothing else.

"I'm really tired... and I'm hungry too..." Jace finally said slowly.

"I bet. Are you able to walk? I'll need you to come with me back to the upper levels. We just need to take some more readings from you, and the Misses here are anxious to get back to tending to the queen."

Jace awkwardly rose to a full standing position and took several moments to make sure he was able to hold his balance. He finally took a step back from Zyxerra, pulling his flaccid ridged manhood from her loosened orifice. Not a single drop of seed emerged as by now all of it had been funneled into the queen's inner sac for retaining genetic material, but a couple of thick strands of goopy clear mucus did stick the raptor's cock and the queen's oviduct together until he'd pulled far enough away for the threads to separate and drip onto the floor.

The raptor took a couple of shaky steps before composing himself fully. He stepped back in front of Zyxerra who graciously lowered her head down to his, touching her antenna with Jace's. The raptor trembled, moaning slightly as a sense of satisfaction was shared between him and the queen. She very gently stroked the side of his face with one of her elongated front arms before moving herself back upright to dismiss him. Jace returned to the company of Dr. Mersei and was handed a bottle of water by one of the assistants before the two left to go back to the elevator and return to the facility.

Upon exiting the elevator Mersei guided Jace to an unremarkable check-up room where a comprehensive set of measurements were taken for virtually every part of his body. He was weighed, had his reflexes and vision tested, and the band around his ankle was finally cut loose. Most importantly of all however, Jace was served a generous plate of food that he practically swallowed whole considering how famished he felt. As things were wrapping up, a familiar face entered the room to greet Jace.

"Ah, Jace," the man said.

Jace turned around from what he was doing to see who had said his name. It took him a second, but he recognized who it was.

"Dr. Karo?" Jace answered.

The large rex smiled and extended his hand. Jace took it in his, as best he could considering the shape of his own hand had changed somewhat, and returned the gesture by shaking the doctor's hand. Karo still had the same firm grip that the raptor remembered from when he first met him. Despite this thicker and hardened skin he could still feel the familiar pressure exerted by the rex's grasp.

"It's good to be able to see you again, son," the rex responded while shaking Jace's hand.

"You keep calling me that, why?" Jace asked, puzzled.

Dr. Karo smiled warmly for a moment before speaking.

"Well, because I created you of course. In a sense, you are my son."

Jace realized that Karo had been calling him that since before he'd even had his first dose from the so-called treatment he'd signed up for. This entire time the truth of the matter was smacking him in the face right from the start and he never noticed it. From the moment he walked into that office and handed his CV over to the secretary he'd sealed his fate.

"Many, many years of trial and error, an untold amount of hours of research, and countless billions of dollars brought my staff and I as far as we could all possibly go," the rex continued. "And you, you were the one lucky enough to become the vessel for all of that work. You are perfect, Jace. I cannot properly convey to you how important of a role you had. When the historians of the future tell the story of our kind, your name will be the one immortalized forever as the person who took the first step to bringing us all to perfection with you."

Jace was speechless for a moment.

"...but... what happens now? What happens to me?" He asked.

A wide smile spread across the rex's face.

"Well, every queen needs a king, right?"

---

The unmistakable sounds of messy sex filled the air and spilled out into the connecting tunnel. Jace was laying on his back in a bedding of material that had been meticulously woven by several of the Misses. One of them was straddled atop the raptor, his cock buried deep within her. Laying next to them in the bed was another of the women curled up in contentment, her genital slit drooling out the load of seed Jace had just pumped into her minutes earlier. Jace let out a loving moan as he held the woman atop him by her thighs and powerfully thrust his hips into her. He cried out as he felt a flood of cum rush out of his manhood and fill the Misses to the point where his potent spunk had nowhere else to go but spill out all over the place as he continued to thrust into her.

An indeterminate amount of time had passed since Jace had first bred the queen. She was able to retain all of his seed long enough for her to produce offspring for quite some time, though the raptor had mated with her twice more since then. Jace had seen the offspring, too. They grew to adulthood incredibly fast in order to start serving the hive as quickly as possible. They were all female, just like the Misses, except they had a dark brownish-yellow skin. They were almost an exact image of the green women Jace sought company with, though the ones he helped to conceive had ever so slightly expressed physical features that were distantly saurian in appearance. Things like the slightly different shape of their head, a very short stubby tail, and the fact that they had three front toes like him instead of two long front toes and one short back one. The features were living evidence of the genes he was able to pass on, the ones that bridged the species he used to be with the one he eventually became.

Dr. Mersei still checked in every once in a while, perhaps once a month or so. Jace no longer resided in the upper floors of the facility, he'd been moved down into the underground tunnels to live among Zyxerra and the hive. The raptor wasn't aware of it, but the calendar had rolled over several times now. Entire years had passed. The first 20 or so years of his life were a distant memory, as fleeting as a waking dream. He remembered almost none of it. Did he know anyone before he was here? Were there any other places besides here? No. Jace lived in the hive. He had always lived in the hive. He was there as the only fertile male, and he had perhaps the most important role second only to the queen.

He was there to breed.

THE END
