Laz was getting a little bit embarrassed here, something he wasn’t used to. After all, they were discussing him like he wasn’t even here and yet he was right here, listening to all of it.

"Oh? What’s this? Are you blushing?" Saanvi asked, poking Laz a bit.

"Well considering how we are speaking about the boy while he is right here, it’s to be expected, isn’t it?" Shelly asked, seeming to be the most aware.

Jun just shook her head and looked at Laz.

"Who are you, really?" She asked, looking at Laz.

"Someone and something dangerous. The more you know, the shorter you’re lifespan," Laz replied, not really sure he wanted to answer. Strangely enough, Jun seemed to accept this answer.

"Really? Just nod your head like you understand such a vague response?" Shelly questioned.

"He’s probably not joking, even if he’s not answering. I have enough things to deal with without getting dragged into whatever he is about."

"We all saw the boy wake up in a chunk of ice we dragged out of one the of the evac sights and yet now you’re all just perfectly fine with him? I just..."

"You need to relax some. He isn’t a threat and he isn’t a monster, unless we’re talking about the bedroom. But that’s a different kind of monster," Saanvi joked, causing even Jun to go a bit red.

"Fine. You know what? Whatever. I just wanted to relax a bit after a long day. Captain’s still doing whatever he’s doing in that control room of his. We aren’t even allowed in and have been doing remote checks or whatever thanks to him needing some classified garbage for the advanced team that’s coming in a few days."

"It’s a gate. That’s the reason for all the secrecy and haste from their end. They want to secure it before too many people know about it. Gate’s can’t be hidden for long. There is also a threat associated with it that they probably want to try to control before something happens. And also, they are probably coming for me," Laz offered, but didn’t get into too many details.

"I said I didn’t want to know," Jun then repeated.

"Yeah, but now I do. Who the fuck are you? And wait... A gate? Like a gate gate? Like the thing you wandered into that somehow got you stuck in a block of ice down here with us?" Shelly asked, now more curious than anything.

While everything above the line of water was easily visible, below the water was another story. Saanvi had been aroused before the interlopers came in and was not happy to have her special time being taken from her. So while everyone kept talking, her hands were at work below the water line, freeing Laz’s massive member from inside his swim trunks that barely contained them. With it now laid out in front of him, she took to alternating between stroking what she could reach without being obvious and cupping and playing with his balls beneath, all the while rubbing her body against him in an effort to cause him to get a raging hard on. She knew, that if that happened, the serpent would rise above the waves and alert the other girls as to what they were doing.

Laz knew all this and wasn’t letting her off the hook either. As he had wrapped an arm around her waist, he had let his hand sink down low to the water line, allowing him hidden access to her most private of parts. Since she was leaning on him, her firm ass was at a slightly elevated level, meaning that at first, he was able to grab and squeeze to his hearts content. But as she got more daring, so did he, allowing his hands to roam down. Because of how she was leaning with her legs together, he couldn’t get quite where he wanted, but that didn’t mean she was unexposed.

As Laz started explaining what a gate was to Shelly and Jun, his middle finger pushed aside the string of fabric protecting Saanvi and proceeded to penetrate where no man had ever been before. Saanvi instinctually tensed up, but that wasn’t enough to stop Laz’s revenge. With more force, he entered her, causing her to have to hold on to a moan she didn’t know was coming until it was on her lips, making her struggle slightly which forced him even deeper. He then continued the assault as he forced his finger in and out, causing the waves of pleasure to hit Saanvi even more.

"You’re... playing... a dangerous... game..." she whisper into Laz’s ear at one point as she tried to regain control by assaulting his shaft with both hands and harder strokes.

"Oh? Please tell me what’s so dangerous about this?" Laz whispered back as Shelly and Jun started talking between themselves.

"Because the moment.... I uh.... oh... fuck.... the moment I lose control.... I won’t care who is here. I will fuck you in front of them.... so help me.... fuck..." Laz had surprised her by inserting another finger, causing the feelings to be amplified.

"So these things are portals to other worlds? And the governments of the world want to control them? To profit off of them?" Shelly stated.

"Why wouldn’t they? It’s no different than stronger countries intervening in weaker countries just to take control of their resources," Jun replied.

"But what about the aliens on these planets? What if they invade here? What if we provoke people we shouldn’t provoke? Are they just assuming we are stronger than anyone we are going to come into contact with? Haven’t movies already shown us how weak we are in the universe? Do we want to have a ’war of the worlds’ happen in real life just cause they wanted to get their hands on some alien tech?"

"That..." Jun didn’t know how to reply since she saw Shelly’s point and believed something similar.

’What happened when the risk outweighed the reward?’

Shelly and Jun turned their heads to Laz as though wanting an answer.

Laz didn’t mention anything about the race currently living within the great tree in the ocean taking control of most situations that were out of the government’s level to handle. All he could say was,

"Most of the worlds beyond the gates have already been demolished. If anything, it’s mostly like artifact hunting or ruin diving so although dangerous, facing a reverse invasion hasn’t been a concern just yet and even if it is... there are... forces, to take care of it." While it was an ambiguous reply with little reassurance to their concern, it wasn’t a lie no matter how much it sounded like one.

"You’re an infected...aren’t you?" Jun finally asked after they had exhausted the talk about the gate.

"How do you know I’m not a chosen?" Laz shot back, a half smile on his face.

"Chosen... give me an uncomfortable feeling. So do infected, but it’s different. Infected... feel dangerous, but in the same way prey would feel a predator is dangerous. It’s... more of a natural feeling. But with the chosen I’ve been around... I almost feel like... they don’t even see us as prey, but as objects. Like I wasn’t a living creature. And... they always look like they are just... a few cards short of a full deck? I think that’s the American saying? Like they are not all right up top? Something wrong with their brains. It’s hard to describe. While infected are dangerous, they aren’t destructive. But chosen... we are warned to stay away from infected. That they might kill us. But even more people say that you should never be alone with a chosen. There are weird rumors that go around about them. No one ever speaks about it or asks about it. But... me and my friends... we talk about it. We all feel the same..." Jun spoke more just now than she ever had in the last few years and even Shelly was in stunned silence.

"Heh... yes. I am the big, bad boogeyman they warn you about."

No one said anything as under the water, Saanvi felt her juices flowing even stronger as the assault on her backdoor continued while Laz’s stiff rod was starting to kiss the surface of the water.

"You don’t seem to be what they say," Shelly finally said. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"That’s because we aren’t. Well... some are. Some... just like normal men, are evil. The moment they get a taste of power, they will lose themselves or be unable to control themselves. Or some are just unable to adapt to what’s happening and go out of control. Like a guy having a bad trip, except this trip never ends. But for the rest of us? Mostly normal... just with a different definition of normal."

"And the chosen?"

"We... don’t like one another. It’s something deep and even I don’t understand it. But... they can get strong... much stronger than us and much faster than us. And when that happens to fast or when they aren’t up to the mental stress? Yeah. They snap. And they snap hard."

Laz wasn’t going to explain what he knew or how he knew it. As far as he was concerned, they seemed to have noticed things themselves after all these years and as such, he didn’t need to push their thinking in any way.

"FUCK..." Saanvi could no longer hold on as she came and came hard. Her entire body stiffened up as her toes curled, unable to help herself.

When she was done, she looked at her two friends with shocked expressions.

"I’m going to fuck him now. You can leave if you want or watch, I don’t care which. But just remember... get yourself off if you can’t handle it... because if he fucks you... it will kill you."

Without waiting for their response, Saanvi mounted the massive meat poll that had risen out of the water like a sea serpent breaking the surface, a loud moan escaping her lips.
