David rubbed his head as he sat up, vaguely surprised to find himself lying in the hollow of a moss-covered log. He remembered the planetary cruiser going down during their routine flight across the northside forest territory. Some kind of engine failure. He remembered the panicked crew crowding for the escape pods, but after that the world was a painful black void in his memory.

“Dave! Oh, thank heavens you’re awake!” Judy, the brunette from the academy stood over him, her clothes dirty and torn, a small bit of mud and grime covering her usually elegant face. “I thought you wouldn’t make it there for a second.”

Dave tried to focus, sensing the balmy air and the heavy scent of…something he couldn’t quite place, something both musty and fresh at the same time. He sniffed curiously.

“No! Don’t breathe in! Here!” Judy threw him a respirator mask and quickly helped him strap it over his nose and mouth. He looked at her confused. The planet’s atmosphere was supposed to be breathable. Why did he need the mask?

“Just trust me, you don’t want to smell anything here!”

Dave shrugged and looked around, realizing he and Judy were on the edge of a small clearing within the towering forest.

“What happened to the rest of the crew?” he asked.

In response, Judy’s eyes slid to her right, pointing to the clearing. Dave cautiously poked his head over the edge of the half-decomposed log.

A field of dazzling colors assaulted his eyes. Flowers as large as humans covered the gentle sloping hills boasting vibrant shades of every color imaginable as they swayed in the gentle breeze, the planet’s amber star causing the thick petals of the flowers to shimmer and shift through iridescent hues like a gentle light show. In the center of the flowers were strange looking bulbs and stamen that protruded out from above the soft folds of the flower’s center. David felt like the shapes were so…very…familiar…

“Try not to stare at the flowers either!” Judy warned him. “They’re dangerous!”

“Dangerous? How? Are they carnivorous?”

“No! Not exactly. Look!” Judy pointed and crouched a bit lower. David followed her lead.

Pressing through the underbrush of the clearing came a blonde woman, completely naked with a dazed look on her smiling face. She swayed through the clearing, letting her head lead from one flower to another, gazing at each one like it was the most blissful piece of eye candy she had ever seen. She muttered something softly to herself. David’s eyes drifted lower and noticed that the woman’s pubic mound was coated with a fine yellow powder, tangled in clumps around her bush.

“That’s Katey, the comm officer onboard,” Judy told him. “She’s been wandering around like that for two days now.”

“Two days!” David exclaimed. Had he been out for that long?

“Yep. I was the only one that thought to put on a respirator when the others started acting weird. Here they come now!”

Moving as one, the rest of the crew appeared, each of them with nothing more than their boots for clothing and wandering around with the same slow, detached movements as Katey. The men all had either half-stock, or full erections and carried the same yellow clumps on their shafts and balls. The women were also marked with the strange powder, their bodies on full display as they ogled the shimmering flowers.

They began to mumble in unison. David could just barely make out what they were saying.

“Spread…spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen…feed the forest…”

Judy covered her eyes. “Oh no! Here they go again!”

David watched in shocked fascination as the crew fanned out, each getting drawn to a particular flower, looking up worshipfully at the softly swaying petals that seemed to thrum with extra colors, morphing and cycling. Expressions of unabashed, intoxicated lust spread through the crew as the women grasped the hard, protruding stamen and guided them into their glistening cunts. The men were all sporting giant erections and nuzzled them into the flowers’ velvety folds.

“Spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen…feed the forest…” The chanting grew louder and more insistent as the group desperately began to hump and grind against the psychedelic flowers, their bodies flushed with arousal. It didn’t take long before the first crew member, Tim, the ship’s co-pilot started howling in orgasm. The rest of the crew followed suit, getting off in the flowers’ tender clutches. Jane, the redhead with long, slender legs, threw her head back and thrust the large flower she was impaling herself on deeper as her pussy clenched around the phallic stamen. A collective sigh of euphoria rose from the crew as they stumbled back from their respective plants, the layer of powder covering their genitals even thicker now.

After a moment of staring vacantly into the buzzing air around them, the crew resumed their shuffling march through the grove of hungry flowers.

“Spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen…”

“Stars above! What happened to them?” David exclaimed. Judy shot him a look of fear.

“Turns out Central had good reason to keep this forest off-limits. My guess is that the colony of flowers evolved a way to entice mammalian bipeds into helping them pollinate by using pheromone laced attractors, plus a colorful display meant to scramble the pre-frontal cortex and turn their victims into manipulated zombies. I’m guessing the plants also benefit from some of the proteins they gather from the spunk and juice of everyone’s ejaculate. I tried to snap Katey out of it a few times, but she eventually began chasing me around, trying to rip off my clothes and respirator!”

David nodded, trying not to get distracted by the otherwise intriguing image.

“What the hell are we going to do? We have to be nearly forty klicks away from the west side base!”

Judy responded by pointing beyond the clearing to a row of broken treetops on the other side, like a scar torn into the forest.

“Look! That’s where the cruiser finally touched down after we ejected with the pods. If we can make it across the clearing, maybe we can reach the comm center and contact the base. But we have to keep low, and don’t get distracted by any flowers, no matter how interesting they look, got it?”

“Alright, sounds good,” he said, then added. “What about the rest of them? The crew?”

Judy shook her head. “We can’t help them now! We’ll come back for them with a team of bio-force troops when we can. In the meantime, don’t trust them, don’t interact with them. The flowers’ pollen is using them to assimilate every potential pollinator. They’re not themselves anymore, understand?”

David wiped cold sweat from his brow. He didn’t like leaving his comrades behind, but Judy was right. The best way to help them was to make it out of here with their clothes on and brains intact. He reached over and clasped Judy’s hand in his.

“Alright! Let’s go, now. Before they come back.”

The brunette nodded grimly at him and then yanked him forward through the clearing.

David hopped over thick roots and dodged his way through over-hanging branches. He noticed several vines sporting flowers that seemed to resemble large, humanoid eyes that flashed and sparkled with mysterious colors, colors that beckoned him to stare deeper…to stop running…

He shook his head and charged forward, clenching his hand around Judy’s for dear life. The far side of the clearing was nearly insight, when suddenly, a pair of strong arms burst out of the undergrowth and wrapped themselves around David’s torso. Gerald, the large security chief from the cruiser, now buck naked and covered in pollen, tackled him to the ground, his huge hands groping for David’s respirator. David tussled, trying to shake him loose. He looked at Judy who stared back at the two, utterly panicked.

“GO! GO! Don’t wait for me! Just get to the ship!!” He shouted.

Judy gave the smallest hesitation before darting away through the thick curtain of flowers. Meanwhile, Gerald pinned David down under his weight as he worked his fingers closer to David’s mask.

“Spread the pollen…feed the forest…Give in to the pollen…we will serve the forest…you will serve…” Gerald droned mindlessly.

With a final burst of strength, David wriggled himself down and under the vice grip of Gerald’s arms, giving him a solid kick to the stomach as he twisted his way free. The large man doubled over in pain while David made a run for it, his sense of direction completely disoriented.

He crashed through the undergrowth, swatting at vines and branches until he was confident he had put enough distance between him and Gerald to at least get his bearings. He huffed for breath, gulping in mouthfuls of the fragrant air.

In a flash, he froze, ice cold terror gripping him. Where was his mask?!

He ran his hands over his bare chin stubble. It must have fallen off while he was struggling against Gerald. He tried to hold his breath, but that was futile. Maybe he could breathe through the front of his uniform and keep whatever intoxicating chemicals that were floating through the air at bay. He tried to ignore the pungent, strangely sweet scent invading his head.

He staggered forward, lifting his head up high, trying to get sight of the horizon. If he could only find…could only find…

He blinked, suddenly feeling less worried.

What was he looking for again?

Oh, Judy! That’s right. He was looking for Judy! Maybe if he could find her…they could get back to the base…and…and…

David lost track of his thoughts as he wandered forward, one step at a time. His instincts urged him to continue forward. To try and hold out until he could make it to…to…wherever he was going…

All around him, flowers opened up revealing mesmerizing displays of iridescent colors, drawing his eyes, making it even harder to think. The flowers were beautiful, incredible! Like some intense fever dream brought to life. Mystical eyes stared at him from the vines, promising him hidden secrets, knowledge that no man could ever discover without their guidance. He forced himself to keep walking, even as his gaze lingered on the enticing petals, making his blood pump faster through his veins.

And through his loins.

Tingling sensations between his legs tempted him to reach his hand into his uniform. He was slowly getting hard. A primordial part of his brain screamed at him to take his clothes off. To free himself and take his natural place as a caretaker for this beautiful forest.

He bit down hard on his lip and tried to smack some sense into himself. He only had to make it a few more meters. Just to the edge of the clearing…then he could…he could…

“Why, hello, David!” A musical voice called to him.

David whirled around, his fuzzy brain half-expecting to see Judy waiting for him. Instead, he found Heidi, the raven-haired botanist, staring at him from the underbrush with a wild look in her eyes, her alabaster skin completely exposed. Clumps of pollen clung to the bushy hair around her pubic mound and from her disheveled black mane dotted with hypnotic flower heads. A slight breeze wafted her scent towards David.

He nearly swooned. She smelled divine!

“I’m so glad we found you!” She said, taking a step forward and thrusting out her generous chest. David only then realized that her nipples were barely covered by two shimmering blue and violet flowers, staring back at him like two large, bouncy eyes. “We thought you and Judy would run off and hurt yourselves. But don’t worry, you’re safe now…safe here in the forest…”

“Heidi…I…ugh!” Thinking, let alone talking, was an overwhelming mental task for David at the moment. He knew, deep down, that he was in serious trouble, but he couldn’t motivate himself to look away from the sultry scientist who was sizing him up like a hungry cat.

“Oh, I know, David. I know…” She cooed as she stalked closer. David only stared back at her stupidly, feeling his head getting lighter by the minute. “You still haven’t realized the truth. I was the first to figure it out, you know. Once the cruiser went down and we made it out in the escape pods, we found out all of our comm equipment was destroyed. I was sent out with a team to forage for food. That’s where I first found the flowers…”

She lifted up her breasts, letting the flowers on her nipples shimmer in the low light.

“They taught me so much about the natural order of us humans. You see, we humans have been on their world for so long now, seven generations since the first colony ships landed, wasn’t it? They’ve been silently planning for us David. We are guests here, in the long run. It’s only just that we do our part…”

Heidi’s eyes opened a little wider, a blissful spark consuming them.

“Do our part…obey their whims…spread their pollen…and so will you, David…”

David was barely aware of several pair of hands now crawling over his body, undoing his uniform, holding his legs in place. He felt them, he heard their low chanting to spread the pollen. He just didn’t think to care, his whole world was centered on the radiant flower goddess in front of him.

Around him, two women and one man, all of them completely nude, were helping David undress, the male holding his legs solidly in place while the ladies stroked his bare arms and chest even as they shimmied his pants down his legs. The humid air on his skin felt like a warm, relaxing sauna and David felt the resistance melt out of him.

“Spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen…obey the forest…” The voices filled his head, steering David’s thoughts along like a bobbing cork in a stream.

Yes…he should spread the pollen…feed the forest…He nodded his head, at last beginning to understand.

Heidi stretched her arms above her head, swinging her hips and shaking her massive tits to an ancient, primal rhythm. David felt it hum through him, his body and mind yielding to the stunning vision before him. Two pairs of soft hands encircled his growing cock, stroking and fondling him.

“Yes…you will help us spread the pollen, David…” Heidi cooed, standing nearly an inch away from him. “But there are more than one way to do that. Let me teach you true blissssssss…”

Heidi enveloped David’s face in her fragrant cleavage as she eased her slick pussy over his raging cock. David’s world exploded, his vision melting into pools of liquid color, his mind rewiring to think in terms of scents, patterns, urges, no longer concerned with abstract things like thoughts or identity. He was part of the forest now. He would serve the forest. Spread the pollen.

Heidi undulated her hips against him like a snake, brushing and rubbing her thighs into his and pressing her pollen laced pubic mound against his crotch. He could feet the gold powder sticking to his body, using him to help fertilize the rest of the flowers nearby.

He must obey…he must spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen…

David was chanting at the top of his lungs as an orgasm overtook him, and he felt the last shred of his will drain out of his cock, captured by Heidi’s superior pussy. The flower woman arched her back and squeezed her breasts tighter against his head, bathing him in her irresistible scent. At last the two pulled themselves apart and the other pollinators let David go, allowing him to stand freely on his feet again.

“Now,” Heidi said, slightly flushed. “What must you do, David?”

“…spread the pollen…feed the forest…spread the pollen” David echoed mindlessly, the gold clumps sticking to his body suddenly feeling like an extension of his mind. He staggered off around the grove while the others watched him with amusement as he darted to the nearest flower and plunged his still erect-cock into the milky folds of petals, emptying his balls straight down the flower’s stigma. He felt a rush of pleasure and satisfaction as the flower gently clasped harder around him, sticking more pheromone laced pollen to his loins and thighs.

The flower finally released him and he pulled back, wobbling a little off balance. If he could still think for himself, he might have been surprised to realize he was still eager and horny, his libido and sperm production supercharged by the chemical attractors wafting from the flowers. But he was past all forms of human logic.

All he wanted to do now was find more flowers…spread more pollen…obey the forest…

David continued moving from flower to flower until he wandered ever closer to the edge of the clearing bordered by the tall trees with the tops broken off. There, right near the forest’s edge was a strange sight.

Another human, one with out flower pollen on her skin, was standing alone in the clearing, her clothes hastily pulled down as a respirator mask hung off a nearby tree branch.

Almost as if the protruding branch had snagged it on purpose.

The brunette human was bent over at the waist, her eyes fixated on a large, firm flower stamen that bounced and swayed in an endlessly repeating pattern. She bounced her head along with it, her lips curled into a vapid smile.

David tried to place a name with the helpless human, but his brain was no longer operating with such useless semantics. What he did notice, right between the plump cheeks of the woman’s backside, was another flower. A fleshy pink flower that was completely bereft of any pollen. David felt a swell of pity and concern. All flowers needed to have pollen!

His feet pulled him forward, drawn by the irresistible force of the forest until his cock was pointed straight at the flowers opening. He tenderly slid his way into the soft, wet petals of the girl’s flower, listening to her gasp and moan in other-worldly pleasure.

David’s hips began to buck against Judy’s, rubbing the clumpy powder all over her nether regions as the two sang together in glorious ecstasy.

It truly was a joy to obey the forest and to help spread the pollen.
