The Game v2.0 - Round 6

Having a cute hunk for a boyfriend wouldn't be that hard to hide. However, having said cute hunk's father have two cocks would be. Not to mention having the same cute hunk's roommate constantly being tailed by a sex-crazed anthropomorphic lion. Shaun, however, put all that behind him for the moment as he picked up his apartment keys that lay on the floor alongside his shredded clothing.

David offered him a pair of shorts and a shirt that fit him rather snugly and he took it with thanks. Papa Dave smiled with a hint of pride at the dual cocks that hung from his groin. The fact he hadn't put on any clothes yet was proof of this. Ben got some spare clothes from his father as well but the shirt didn't fit so he had to go shirtless with the shorts just barely fitting. Across the room, Tony had given up trying to get dressed as his pride member - Stephen - just kept pawing at his crotch and trying to jump his bones.

"What do we do now?" Ben asked, wrapping his arms around Shaun's waist.

The warmth from the contact with his mate sent a tingle down Shaun's spine and he leaned into his mate's muscular, bare chest. "I think it goes without saying that we have to keep Stephen here where no one can see him. As for our clothing problem..." He tossed the keys into the air. "I'll go back into my place, grab some clothes for you and then we'll go back to campus and grab some clothes for these two." He nodded at Tony and Stephen who were both struggling against one another, Tony trying to push Stephen half-heartedly and laughing off while Stephen desperately trying to cling to his 'boss'.

Shaun checked the time. "That should leave us with just enough time for our reservation."

Ben blinked at him a couple of times in confusion. "Reservation?" His last blink brought on a spark of realisation. "Oh right! That reservation!" His arms tightened around Shaun. "Shit... we have a date, don't we?" He leaned in and nuzzled Shaun's neck.

"In one of the classiest restaurants in town." He gave his mate a sly wink. In one swift movement, he turned around in Ben's muscular arms and planted a tender kiss on those supple lips. It was brief, taunting, a little taste of what was to come. That, and while his cock was erect, he felt mentally exhausted from all the experiences that had flooded him. As he pulled away, he said, "I'll be back. Hold tight, stud." He gave Ben's crotch a tight squeeze, making his wolf whimper softly.

It was adorable and only made him love the hunk all the more.

Shaun quickly left the apartment but not before he caught sight of David swaggering across the room in his underwear with a sizable bulge. He rolled his eyes at the sight. Who would have thought the guy was such an exhibitionist. Aiden would freak to have a half-naked gay guy with such a big bulge strutting around everywhere.

Thinking of his roommate, Shaun paused at his door and tried to strain his hearing, checking to see if Aiden was still in his room playing that heavy metal music. Sadly, as a human he did not possess the same acute hearing his bestial half possessed. The clothing borrowed from David was far from his usual style and explaining to Aiden that he had left with different clothing would be tiresome and he was tired of the lies.

Shaun took a deep breath and decided that the next time he saw Aiden, he would tell him that he liked guys. Of course he'd assure Aiden that he did not have a crush on him. It would be like falling in love with his brother and while Aiden was very hot, Shaun loved his best friend just as that, a best friend. Okay, so maybe if they were both really drunk, horny or if Aiden asked they'd fool around but his heart belonged to Ben.

Hell, if Ben got to join in that would be even better.

Shaun shook the thoughts from his head. He had entertained the thoughts before but Ben was his world now. It was just a matter of finding some way to join the world he had left with the one he now lived in.

It sickened him that sex might actually be the only way he could think of to keep both his best friend and his boyfriend at the same time. It was a terrible thought but if he planted that seed of doubt in Aiden's homophobic façade, maybe Shaun would get to keep his best friend and maybe even a casual fuck...

What did all those psychology books say? Only the most intense homophobes had the deepest homosexual tendencies?

And no one got more homophobic than Aiden...

The door suddenly sprang open and Shaun had to leap back. Aiden emerged, looking startled as they stood in front of one another; Aiden in heavy, winter clothing while Shaun in a tight shirt and short-shorts.

"Lost your keys or something?" Aiden grunted.

"Um... Just having trouble getting it in the hole."

"Whatever. Ashley called again. Sounded pissed. Later dude."

Right... Ashley.

Shaun bid his best friend a good afternoon and headed into his apartment. Remembering that his phone had been left back at David's place gave him a moment of pause but he dismissed it. Everyone in the Game knew about Ashley and he had nothing to hide from them. That in mind, he quickly entered his room and fished out some clothing from his closet. Something classy but not too fancy. Chateau Potpourri was pretty high class but not one of those places with a dress code.

Once he had a bunch of clothing in his arms and dressed himself, he made his way back towards David's apartment. He paused a moment as he left his room, however, and regarded Aiden's door. He had never been in his best friend's room once. Aiden always entered his own freely as Shaun had an open door policy. Aiden - being the private person he was - kept his door firmly shut. Not that he ever explicitly said not to enter his room just that it went unsaid between the two that Aiden's privacy was to be respected.

Shrugging, Shaun put it out of his head and returned to David's place. David was clothed at last though his bulge was still very visible. The horny Stephen lay on the couch, stroking his own cock to something on TV. Tony stood a few feet away talking with Ben and waving his hands frantically through the air.

"Did I miss something?" Shaun asked, as he handed Ben some clothes.

"Tony is philosophising," Ben muttered, regarding the clothes and smiling wanly.

"What about?"

"The ethical implications of Stephen coming into this world," answered Tony, rubbing his beard lightly "I have with me a fully grown lion... man... thing with the mentality of a sex-crazed infant. Is it possible, I wonder, to train him to become an intelligent, productive member of society? Will it be possible to finally answer the question of nurture versus nature?"

"Doesn't that sound like psychology, not philosophy?"

"They're pretty much the same thing," Tony answered, waving his hand absently.

"I'm rather surprised you're not sticking your cock down his throat," Shaun admitted. "How many times did you two do it while I was gone?"

"Just once. Then we discovered David's hidden stash of gay porn. Stephen is entertaining himself with it now. I'm about to join him." Tony grinned broadly at the two. "Want to join us? Always more fun with more people."

"Thanks but we've got a reservation," Shaun answered, winking slyly at Ben. His wolf blushed deeply and hurried to put on the borrowed clothes. It was adorable how he turned his back to the two as he stripped down.

Once Ben was nice and dressed, Shaun appraised his boyfriend with a wan smile. He had to admit, there was something infinitely hot about having his boyfriend dressed in his clothing. Not to mention just how tight the familiar shirt and vest looked on Ben's broad, ripped body. It was impossible not to notice where all the curves his muscles made.

He offered his arm, beaming broadly. "Shall we?" Tony and Steven didn't look like they had any need for clothing so he decided to skip the part about fetching them some clothes.

Ben hesitated for a moment then he broke into a bright grin and took Shaun's arm. "Yes, sir!"

They had sex before, indeed they had wild animal sex before. But this moment where they linked their arms felt right. It felt right that Ben took the lead but it also felt right that Shaun opened the door for his boyfriend. When Ben turned and laughed at how funny the borrowed shoes felt, his voice uplifted Shaun's heart.

When they stepped out of the apartment complex, a surprise greeted them.

For the first time in days, the sun shone through the clouds.

Shaun was sure that was a sign.

They stepped into his car and he drove of autopilot to the restaurant. Along the way, they chatted idly. The sort of chatter between best friends slowly creeping to something more. Shaun was almost regretful that it only took twenty minutes to get to Chateau Potpourri because as the moments passed, Ben grew more and more comfortable expressing himself, opening himself up and sharing his past fears of wandering aimlessly through life and now just finding a purpose in life.

Shaun wanted to ask what that purpose was but he already had an inkling what it was.

They stepped out to the restaurant where they were greeted by the doorman who - with a fake French accent - welcomed them and asked if they had a reservation. Only at that moment did Shaun fear that the Game may have deceived them but he gave his name nonetheless. The doorman checked his books and smiled pleasantly.

"This way, monsieur," the man said, gesturing towards the door.

Shaun wasn't sure what to expect from the table. Would it be one of the crappy, cheap tables near the toilets where the pleasant odours of perfectly seasoned Atlantic salmon would be overpowered by the scent of toilet cleaner? Or would it be one of the tables seated near the kitchen where stomachs would forever remain grumbling in hunger as the delectable scents wafted towards their nostrils every time the doors swung open and waiters and waitresses came zooming out with courses meant for others?

He had been to the Chateau multiple times on 'dates' with Ashley. All of them were on her insistence, of course. The more they ate there, apparently the more their social standing rose. It wasn't enough that she was dating the son of one of the richest people in town, she had to be seen dating Shaun. So he was very familiar with the layout of the Chateau.

To his great surprise, their table was right next to the stage. What made the Chateau stand out was the nightly live performances. Sometimes there were plays, other times comedians and then on the special nights, there were magic shows. Shaun loved the last type of show but Ashley absolutely hated them. She insulted him constantly about his fascination with magic. Called him a 'big kid' with the arrogance of one who enjoyed the show herself but wanted to seem 'mature'.

As they sat down, Shaun watched Ben's amazed eyes take in the rosy colour scheme of the restaurant. Everything screamed romance. Candlelight, roses on the table, delicate cutlery and most of all...

"Your wine, sir," a waiter said, placing a bottle on their table. "As part of your reservation. May I?"

Shaun nodded, stunned that their reservation contained so much. With an expert hand, the waiter handed them the menus and said, "Tonight's special is the authentic Peking Duck served with a horseradish, cream and pea puree and seasoned mashed potatoes." At the same time, he poured them both a glass of an aromatic red wine.

"Thank you," Shaun answered. "We'll get back to you."

The waiter nodded pleasantly, adjusting the sunglasses he wore and glided away.

"Weird guy to be wearing sunglasses in a place like this," Ben said, leaning forward.

"To each their own," Shaun answered with a shrug. "So what do you feel like?"

Not really sure what to order, Ben just agreed to trust Shaun and they ordered two of the same thing. The waiter took their orders with a smile, not even needing to take any notes.

"For the steak, how would you like your meat?"

"Medium rare for me," Shaun answered, giving Ben a sly smirk. "Firm but still juicy."

"And for you, sir?" asked the waiter, completely obviously to the reason Ben was blushing.

"Um... The same, please."

"Of course. May I interest the young sirs in tonight's programme?" He handed them both a velvety book. "This evening, we will be featuring most local talent. A young musician is making his debut today and I hear he has a spectacular voice."

"I look forward to it," Shaun said, smiling and placing the programme down. "Say, if you don't mind me asking, what's with the sunglasses?"

The waiter smiled softly and adjusted the silver wrap-around glasses he wore. "It's a conversation starter." With those words, he turned on his heel and slipped away.

Ben inclined his head to the side, one eyebrows raised. "Not sure if that was just rude or really badass."

"Little bit of both," Shaun answered with a shrug. He reached across the table and gently took Ben's hands. For a second, Ben recoiled and pulled back then it seemed to dawn on him the guy holding his hand was his boyfriend. Ben gave an awkward grin and let his hand get held. "You are so cute!" Shaun laughed. "You've never been on a date with a guy before?"

"Never been on a date," Ben answered with a blush. "Parents were pretty uptight about sex. Any mention of it was brushed under the rug until I was 'older'. They held onto me pretty tightly."

"Your dad seems pretty okay with it now. Hell, he was jacking off right in front of you!" Realising where he was, Shaun lowered his voice as he said, "What changed?"

Ben's mood turned grim. "The Game."

That only puzzled him. "What?"

"When we first started playing, Tony got a blue card. He changed my dad. Made him more accepting of homosexuality. Next thing I knew, my dad was knocking on my door telling me that he had divorced my mom."

The first question Shaun wanted to ask was if he was altered in any way by the Game. But from all appearances, that was not the case. He waited a few moments to see if Ben would crack under the pressure. But Ben just kept his gaze lowered, regret on his face. Besides, when Shaun entered the Game, it didn't seem like it was something either Tony, Dave or Ben had intended.

Squeezing his boyfriend's hand tightly, Shaun said, "Look, there's nothing you can do about it now. Maybe this was all part of a better future. Change is good."

"Change is bad." Ben clenched his fists, emitting a soft growl. "The Game... It changes us. Can you really call that kind of change 'good'."

"Your father and Tony would argue otherwise," answered Shaun. He held up his hand before Ben could continue on his rant. "But I agree. A change like that without permission is bad. Still, you can't be afraid of change. I mean, without it, we would never have met, right?"

Ben's eyes filled with a sense of determination that made Shaun's heart sink. "You're right. That's why we have to stop playing."

Shaun rolled his eyes. "Weren't you the one that warned me we have to play or we'll feel the 'wrath of the Game' or something."

"I never said that. And we're just assuming here. What could the Game possibly do?"

"It could be the thing that changes our lives for the better, that's what," Shaun answered, holding his boyfriend's hands tightly. "Look, I know you're scared. But look at it this way, if we can get through all of this and still be madly in love like we are, I think we'll be stronger for it."

Ben slipped his fingers out of Shaun's grip. "I don't know... I'm just afraid of losing you... I don't want you turn out like my dad... or Tony..."

Shaun laughed softly and leaned back. His spied their waiter returning with their appetisers and had an idea. "How about this? Let's let a third party decide."

As some roasted scallops with a spicy pumpkin cause and seasonal salad was dropped before, Shaun said, "Hey can you settle a bet for us?"

Their waiter nodded. "Sure thing. What is it?"

"Change," Shaun answered, regarded his boyfriend with a smile. "Good or bad?"

Their waiter tapped his chin absently, mulling over the thought. "Well... I guess that depends if the change is voluntary or not. Sometimes, change is inevitable., I think the thing that scares most people is not knowing what the future will bring. Leaving the future to the roll of a dice is scary. But I don't think we're completely blind when it such changes. The path before us is never really clear but I'm pretty sure intelligent young men such are yourselves can at least see a few steps ahead, right?"

A little startled by their waiter's insight, Shaun said, "Yeah... I guess..."

"My advice? Take the time you have before the change comes to prepare yourself. No god is cruel enough to force change after change upon you without giving you a moment to rest, contemplate and collect yourself. Those moments of respite are often what we need to take stock of the situation. Take things slow and work your way slowly to a solid foundation. You just might surprise one another. Your paths might diverge, they might intertwine. Who knows? You can only move forward or end up getting left behind." Their waiter lowered his sunglasses, revealing sapphire-blue eyes. He winked slyly at them. "And besides, roads are easier travelled when you have company."

Those words seemed to brighten Ben's mood and he said, "That's pretty deep. Have you always been a waiter?"

The man shrugged. "Pretty much the story of my life. Either I'm waiting on someone or waiting for someone. Anyway, can I get you gentlemen anything else?"

Shaun exchanged a meaningful glance with his boyfriend and they shared a nod. "No... I think we're good."

"Okay then. I'll be back with your entrees in just a moment."

With that, their waiter left and the two smiled at one another.

"Almost seemed like he was talking about the Game then, doesn't it?" Ben began, reaching out and holding Shaun's hand.

"I think he was just talking about us taking a chance with one another. But yet, it has a double meaning." Shaun lifted his wine glass. "To accepting our changes."

"And moving forward with our future."

They toasted and drank.

The meal was scrumptious, something truly worthy of a high class restaurant. They chatted, exchanged stories and fell even more madly in love with one another. Shaun realised that Ben was what he was missing his entire life and knew if he lost everything else, as long as he had Ben, he would be happy.

The next surprise of the night came shortly afterwards when the show began during their entrée.

"Ladies and gentlemen," an announcer exclaimed. "Please welcome, making his debut on this stage, the young musical guitar talent of Aiden Walker!"

_ _Shaun nearly choked on his salmon. Turning towards the stage, the velvety curtains peeled open to reveal Aiden sitting on a stool with a microphone in front of him. His eyes widened as he watched his roommate pull up an acoustic guitar, look around nervously and take a long, deep breath.

"Hi everyone," came his deep rumble. "This is my first time here so I'll start off with something you guys all know..."

Jaw wide open, Shaun mentally winced at the thought of Aiden blaring some sort of heavy metal rock ballad over the microphone. He remembered everyone in the audience was fully capable of throwing sharp knives and wondered if he'd have enough time to vault over the railings and crash tackle his best friend before he became a human pincushion.

To his surprise, the opening chords of Tears in Heaven started ringing from the stage. Shaun almost wished his jaw would open wider, so big was his shock. He actually felt the piece of salmon in his mouth drop out past his lips and plop loudly onto his lap. Aiden played the song perfectly and when it came time to sing, his voice was just...

Well... How he managed to turn the normal deep, gruff rumble that reminded Shaun of a gorilla into the angelic, choirboy voice that came out of his thick neck was beyond him.

When the song was over, he was amongst the many in the audience who got up and applauded.

"I never knew Aiden could play the guitar," Ben said, grinning broadly.

"Neither did I and I've known him since middle school!" Shaun exclaimed, grinning broadly. "Shit... If you heard the kind of music he played out of his room, you'd never think the guy up there was the same." His features darkened. "Now the question is... which one is the evil twin?"

That got a laugh from Ben and they returned to their meal, serenaded by Aiden's beautiful voice. Over the course of the night, Aiden developed more confidence, his voice growing stronger and his songs becoming bolder.

By the time dessert had finished, Aiden was still singing to the applause of the audience. When it came time to leave, Shaun insisted they stayed until Aiden finished. It was another four songs before that happened but by then, both young men were (barely?) capable of moving after such a hearty meal.

Shaun rushed through the counter and was relieved to note that there were no extra charges to their meal. He still left a generous tip for their waiter, though. Outside, night had fallen and the sky was clear. He waited on bouncing feet and a grin crossed his featured when Aiden emerged from the restaurant, wearing a heavy cloak and holding his guitar in a case.

"Aiden!"

His roommate turned to them, eyes wide before he let out a loud, "Shit."

Shaun clapped his best friend on the shoulder. "What the hell, man? Why didn't you tell me you could play that good!?"

Aiden was blushing deeply as he rubbed the back of his head and said, "Because it's fucking lame..."

"Dude. That was awesome. How long have you been playing? What happened to all the heavy metal that you keep playing through the walls?"

His blush growing deeper, Aiden said, "That's just a distraction... It drowns out my practice." His eyes darted towards Shaun. "Look... I know I take a lot of precautions not to be seen. I mean, today I pretended to leave without my guitar so that you wouldn't suspect then doubled back once I knew you were gone. So I'd really appreciate it if you don't go spreading this around. In turn, I won't tell anyone you like guys."

Shaun bristled. "Um..."

Aiden lost his blush and exchanged it for a knowing smile. "Come on man, we've been best buds forever. I've caught the looks. I know how miserable you are with Ashley and I know why you broke off contact with your dad. To be honest, I can't blame you after being with that bitch."

Like a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, Shaun said, "You have no idea what a relief it is to hear you say that. I always thought you were a little homophobic..."

Aiden shrugged, keeping his smug smirk. "Hey, give me some credit. I'm not about to abandon my best bud over something stupid like this. Besides, makes me feel kinda hot knowing you check me out every now and then."

Rolling his eyes, Shaun gestured at Ben, holding his boyfriend's waist tightly against him. "Well, I guess I ought to introduce you two. This is my boyfriend, Ben. His dad lives next door to us."

The two shook hands, exchanging polite pleasantries.

"Hey, how about I drive you home?" Shaun offered. "Must've been hell to take a cab here."

"You have no idea," Aiden laughed.

*****

Birds gleefully twittered outside his bedroom window.

Shaun watched the tiny silhouettes dance across the windowsill as the warm light of the sun trickled through into his room. Ben lay cuddled up next to him, one muscular leg draped over his and thick arm wrapped possessively around his chest. The room stank of their wild lovemaking the previous night and the sheets were still stained as added evidence.

He laid back with one arm over the back of his head, smiling absently and pondering at just how lucky he was to have met Ben not to mention have his best friend accept him for who he was.

His musing was interrupted by the faint buzzing of his phone.

Careful not to wake his love, he reached down and plucked his phone from where it lay beneath the pile of discarded clothing beside his bed. He was a little amazed that it was well past noon. He didn't mind at all as memories of the previous night came flooding back. They stayed up for a good portion of the night listening to Aiden's beautiful songs, even to one Aiden had composed himself. After some midnight beers and some snacking, they had played a few video games and then retired to their respective rooms.

Then came the wild crazy sex.

Needless to say they had kept each other up for a few more hours after that.

Smiling at the memory, he checked to see who was calling and frowned when he realised just who it was.

Completely done with all the lies and comfortable he had a strong foundation on which to land, Shaun pulled on a pair of boxers and crept out of his bedroom, leaving Ben to keep on slumbering. He pressed the phone to his ear and hid the 'answer' button.

"Finally," came the exasperated, shrill voice. "Where have you been? I've been calling you for the past few days and you've never answered!"

There was no hint of worry, no question about whether or not he was alright and not even a pleasant 'hello'.

"I'm at Conrad's place. Come pick me up."

Just an order. Nothing else. Not even a 'please'.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking," Shaun responded, voice dripping with sarcasm. "And no, I'm not about to pick you up."

There was a pause.

"Need I remind you -"

"If you must know, for the past few days, I've been boning and being boned by my new boyfriend."

"What?"

"This is me breaking up with you Ashley. I'd say 'fuck you' but clearly, Conrad already has."

There was dark chuckle from the other side. "Shaun, if people found out -"

"Bitch, listen," he said, "I don't care what people think about me. I'm in love and you can take that and suck it. Way I figure it, you've got way more to lose than I do. Let's just see how people react when they find out the boyfriend that you've claimed for so long comes out of the closet and that you've been letting any prick from here to the goddamn Australia fuck you."

Another chuckle, but this one filled with worry and rather nervous. "Shaun, sweetie..."

"No. We're done, you hear me? Find someone else to be your whipping boy. Hell, grab a goddamn whip. That's probably the only way you'll get anyone to put a ring on your finger."

"Shaun, please..."

"Goodbye Ashley."

And he hung up.

It took him a moment to actually grasp what had occurred. He had just dumped his long-time girlfriend. Another weight lifted off his shoulders and he felt like flying. Shaun eagerly turned back into his room, grinning broadly.

Ben had awoken and had his own phone to his ear.

"Okay... Thanks."

He tucked away his phone and locked gazes with Shaun.

"What's up?" Shaun asked, noticing the grim expression on his boyfriend.

"The Game is ready."

The rest of the afternoon passed quickly.

A rushed brunch later, they told Aiden they were going out again. Aiden accepted it with a non-committal grunt and said he had another gig at a coffee shop not too far away. He gave the two the address and invited them for the evening. Shaun promised he'd try to make it and they quickly left for next door.

Inside, it seemed that Tony and David had already begun the festivities. Both were already fully transformed with cocks erect. Tony was suckling on one of David's groin-oriented cocks and Steven had his lips wrapped around the other. Xavier and Eli had joined in, one of them suckling on David's third cock and the other with his lips wrapped tightly around the horse's lips. David was on the ground, pulling his head back and forth to reveal the thick piece of equine meat that launched from his muzzle and dove deep into Eli's throat.

Shaun turned towards his boyfriend, taking his hands in his and holding them tightly. "Remember what we learned last night. Change as long we control it."

"For the future," agreed Ben.

The two ignored the other players and stripped down, knowing full well how expensive constantly having to replace their clothes would be. They sat opposite to one another with the Game just beside them. The dice rested between them. Shaun cast a momentary glance over at the Game where his Avatar - now a tiger-taur - stood proudly.

"One thing, Shaun..." Ben began. "We kind of promised each other that as soon as we transform, we have to cum... The change kind of makes you... horny. And you think with your dick when you're horny."

"Fair enough," Shaun answered, reaching for the dice. As soon as his fingers brushed against the plastic frame, a bolt of electricity seems to leap through his entire body and make a beeline for his cock. His arm shuddered and shook and his nipples instantly went hard as the force passed through his chest, tensed his abs and settled immediately in his cock.

"Oh shit..!" he gasped. Before he could control himself, his cock went berserk like a fire hose set to full blast with no one to control it. It sprayed cum all over him in an unending stream. His warm seed splattered all over his face, forcing him to shut his eyes and keep his lips tightly closed. The power of the orgasm forced his body to weaken and he toppled to the ground in the foetal position, the dice skittering away from his hands. It was like one unending burst of pleasure that kept him permanently in some form of disembodied state. All he could feel was the sheer ecstasy of his cock shooting blast after blast of his seed. His cum splattered on his side and seeped down his back, crawled down his legs and quickly encased him entirely.

He let out a gasp but the moment his lips opened, he felt the semen harden and solidify. Every muscle in his body was constrained by the diamond-hard cocoon of cum. Once again, he felt that almost volcanic heat bubbling up deep inside of him like someone was boiling his blood and gently letting it seep into his muscles. As the blood cooled, the added more and more mass to his already impressive muscles.

He felt thick pecs harden and broaden, pushing against the extremities of his cocoon. His tightly curled arms bulged out, cracking the sticky frame. His nose pressed against the membrane. The muscles in jaw stretched and the bones popped. A long, raspy tongue lashed out feverishly from his growing muzzle, taking in the sharpened fangs and growing whiskers. Deep in his sides, he felt two growing mounds push against the cocoon. He could already feel the toes wiggling in his growing legs and couldn't help but moan in pleasure at the sensation of stretching these alien and yet so familiar muscles.

The moment when his right arm burst from the cocoon came with a rush of freedom and a burst of amazing strength felt like a mixture of stretching tight, pumped muscles and feeling the blood rush into a limb that had fallen asleep mixed with someone injecting an energy drink straight into the limb. All he wanted to do was move every aspect of the limb and the more he did so, the more he actually felt the veins popping along his biceps and his muscles eagerly trying to catch up and consume them. His veins would press against his furry arms but then his muscles would grow and absorb them the next moment.

His breathing suddenly became very constricting and he desperately clawed at the cocoon with his freed arm. There was an ear-splitting crack as he tore off the cocoon from his chest and his bulging pecs burst out, pink nipples fully erect against the soft, white fur on his belly. He next tore the cocoon off his face, letting out a thunderous roar as his muzzle broke free and he got a whiff of fresh air for what seemed like an eternity.

Gasping for breath, he yanked his left arm out of the cocoon, watching with a mix of fascination and lust as his arm bulged to match his right. Every breath he took pushed more pulsating veins through his exposed body and encouraged more and more of his muscles to bring them back under his flesh.

The greatest pleasure came as his spine lengthened and the second pair of legs came bursting in. A pair of magical hands went running down his back, every touch of the warm fingers pumping every muscle full of mass and strength. All the warmth pooled into his spine, adding vertebrae and pushing his torso away from his legs, twisting it until he had a second pair of hips for his new legs to take shape. His rear legs broke free of their cocoon and he felt a rush of relief as his tail lashed out behind him and his cock was finally free against.

"Fuck..." he gasped, delirious and fighting to get to his feet. Like a newborn struggling to walk, Shaun found a bit of difficulty just trying to stand. Warm hands gently caressed his arm and he gazed down at Ben who gave him a wry smile. "I'm fine, really."

Nodding, Ben bent down and picked up the dice. Like before, thick veins pulsated out from his fist, crawling up his arm with the beat of his heart. Blood quickly pumped into his muscles and his cock. He dropped the dice with a grunt as black claws pushed out of the tip of his fingertips. Black fur quickly spread like wildfire over his hands as they quickly transformed into gargantuan paws. Ben collapsed against Shaun, panting heaving as his entire body quickly rose in temperature.

Shaun closed his eyes and tried to not think of his hot boyfriend transforming into a similarly hot werewolf in front of him. Thinking about those bulging muscles, that short, figure-trimming fur and rippling abs did not help. What did help was the fact that his cock was out of his reach, sitting between his rear legs. He indulged himself in a peek at Ben's veiny body bulging out in front of him. The sensation of something hot and wet pressing up against his leg told him Ben's cock was coming in nicely.

He held his wolf against him as Ben began emitting whimpers amidst the moans of pleasure. His paws were pushed away slowly by growing muscles. Veins pressed up against the leathery pads on his palms, mirroring the racing pace of Ben's cock beating a rhythm against his leg. Ben let out a loud growl.

"Shaun..." he grunted. "Fuck... Can I fuck you...?"

Shaun blinked a couple of times at the question. "Babe, you don't even have to ask. I'm as excited as-"

He never got to finish as Ben hurled him to the floor with surprising strength. The wooden floorboard slammed against his broad shoulders and flanks, sending a shock throughout his body. Ben crawled over him, body expanding to his usual gargantuan proportions and massive cock slapping playfully against Shaun's face and leaving a trail of precum as it passed.

Before Shaun could even register what was happening, Ben's massive paw wrapped around his dick, making him gasp in shock and shudder with need. The top of that red, hot, wolf cock pressed up against his hole and he automatically relaxed to grant it entrance. He winced softly when the first inch pushed into him. There was a flash of pain and then relief and longing as Ben pulled out. His wolf took another plunge, pushing deeper into him.

Shaun grunted in pleasure, his cock twitching in anticipation of the whole monstrous cock burying itself inside of him. Ben began a wild animal with each thrust. Shaun could hear him grunting and growling like a dog in heat the deeper he got. His paw around the tiger's cock stroked the feline meat with each thrust, making the grip Shaun had on his humanity slip with each passing second.

Finding his mind suddenly blurring from the pleasure, Shaun just let himself go, enjoying the moment. He emitted loud growls and snarls, matching Ben's. He began pushing back against Ben's cock, squeezing his ass to milk that wolf cock for all it was worth. Ben's answering growls were clearly signs of his enjoyment of the treatment. One paw on Shaun's cock and the other on the tiger's shoulder, Ben's thrusts increased in pace and quickly evolved from a lusty rhythm to a jackhammer pace.

Shaun's paws crawled up his muscled chest towards his nipples, squeezing them tightly. Flashes of pleasure and lust rushed through his entire body. His tongue rolled out of his muzzle, his toes curling in ecstasy as he fought to keep the experience as lengthy as possible. His rear legs kicked out with every thrust of his mate. It felt like he had been filled with a thick, hot, meaty pole and he didn't even feel Ben's balls against his ass yet!

A growl of frustration erupted from his mate's throat and the paw that wrapped around his shoulders moved to his right thigh, pulling the leg wide. Shaun let out a rising whine as Ben's break-back pace drove the wolf's dick deep into him, knot pressing against the edges of Shaun's ass and balls slapping against one another. Shaun's balls were fit to burst and he wanted desperately to cum but the tiger in him seemed to have greater control than he did and stubbornly held onto his semen, unwilling to let go just yet.

Ben suddenly arched his back and gave one last powerful thrust, shoving his knot right into Shaun's ass. The tiger gasped and choked a little. Instinctively, he clenched his ass, making the wolf in him shudder in delight. Ben mercilessly pounded his ass, on the edge of orgasm and desperately trying to get to that point... that one, blissful moment when he would -

Ben threw his head back, letting out an ear-splitting howl.

Nothing Shaun could have done could have braced him for what came next. A flood of lava-like man juices rushed into his ass. At first it felt so warm and comforting but then he it just kept on coming. He quickly felt the limits of his ass come rushing up to him like a brick wall planted in the path of his pleasure train. He grimaced, a rising cry erupting from his throat as his he felt his flesh stretch from the gallons of cum that just kept filling him. Some relief came his way when he could take no more and the excess came spurting out in the small gaps that Ben's cock and knot allowed, dripping down his legs and soaking into his fur.

Shaun shuddered and collapsed against the floorboards, dizzy and only vaguely aware of the throbbing in his ass that just would not stop pumping cum into his ass. That was his world for a minute or so. Just that throbbing and the sensation of being filled.

Then came the sudden clenching of all his muscles. The warmth in his ass quickly began spreading throughout his entire body. Somehow, he managed to find the strength to gaze over his shoulder. From his bloated gut came a slew purple veins that rapidly spread all over his legs, flanks and crawled up his torso. The bulge in his gut shrank back like the cum that had filled him bled into his bloodstream.

His legs felt the change first. The veins stabbed into his rear thighs, filling them with their muscle-growth formula. His quads became incredibly cut. Even without flexing, the creases and curves of each muscle group pushed out past his orange, striped fur. Tree trunks held nothing against his monstrous legs as they quickly became big enough to match Ben's. His glutes bulged out, broadening and seemingly evolving to accommodate the big wolf's cock buried deep in his as. Every muscle along the stretch of his back bulged out to match his rear legs, widening and stretching. Suddenly the strain of having Ben's gargantuan 16 inch cock faded and Shaun found himself with room to spare... room that needed to be filled.

His front legs curled up and then kicked out, a burst of muscle shooting through them and making them just as big as his rear ones. Every abdominal muscle on his torso thickened, stretching out to meet his sides as his sides similarly stretched out to give him an even more defined 'V' shape. His pecs plumped up, hardening like diamonds. Shoulders that were already very impressive broadened to fit his bigger shape while every muscle along his arm became like watermelons injected with growth hormones. The veins crawled up his neck and hit his head. At first, there was a throbbing headache and then that feeling of relief as the headache faded. He instinctively reached out to grip his temples with his new, massive paws and he felt the shape of his skull expanding. Another roar cut through the apartment as his cock burst forth, adding another two inches to the already impressive foot long dick, cum spurting out onto Ben's paw which still stubbornly clung onto the feline meat.

The pulsating veins seemed to seep into his crown and vanish, leaving him warm and tingling.

"Oh shit..." Ben gasped, panting and exhausting. "Shaun... Fuck... I forgot... My cum..."

Shaun had to take a moment to compose himself. The transformation, growth and then orgasm had knocked him so far out of his senses that he was reduced to a purring, panting mess for a good two minutes.

As he regained control of himself, he said, "I think... I think I'm okay..." He flashed a grin at his mate who was still deep inside of him. "I this means you won't have to be tied to me for an hour or so."

Ben tested out that theory. With the expanded body came an expanded ass and even with the knot, the wolf managed to slip out with little difficulty. They both shuddered at the feeling of being separated and Shaun was pretty darn sure his mate wanted to dive right back in there.

With some help from Ben, Shaun managed to stagger to his massive feet. The floorboard creaked underneath their weight. Shaun felt something wet against his paws and when he glanced down, he spied David cuddling affectionately with the four lions that lay covered in cum a short distance away. They were awake but their eyes were glazed over in pleasure.

"Huh... What do you think about Tony being your new daddy?" Shaun offered.

"Not even funny," Ben grunted. He crept over the pool of cum, trying to find some places that were not covered in his father's semen. A quick shake of David's shoulder and a flick of a finger at Tony's forehead, and they were back in the Game.

"Fuck... It gets harder and harder to keep hold with every transformation..." David muttered, rubbing the back of his head, his cock-tongue long receded into his muzzle. "I swear, every time we change, it's like I spend more and more time as a wild animal..."

"Perhaps that is the goal of the Game?" Tony mused as he strode over to dice and picked them up. "You never truly appreciate something until you've lost it. We take our humanity for granted because it goes without saying that we are human."

"Some would argue otherwise," Ben grunted, finding a spot clean of his father's semen and sitting down. "Tell me honestly guys, do you even want to finish the Game and go back to the way things were?"

David exchanged glances with Tony and they both turned back to Ben with the same look.

"I'll be honest, son... Not really. I love this body and having all these cocks... Shit... I married your mother when we were young. I barely had time to date and as the years have gone by, I've felt less and less attractive. But with this... I'm literally a stallion!" He flexed one of his massive biceps and Shaun could see Ben's approval in the little spurt of cum from that wolf cock.

"I've always felt like a bit of a loner," came Tony's answer as he wrapped an arm around one of his slaves. Shaun thought it was Eli. "I specialise in philosophy, remember. I make a living out of arguing about the facts of life that no one really cares about. Those that do care about it are too wrapped up in their own worlds to be anything more than friends and eventually, being philosophers, they'll start questioning why we're friends.

"But now..." Tony cuddled against his pride. "I'm not alone anymore."

Shaun regarded the other players. His eyes travelled to his mate who had certainly become more assertive since they had met. Definitely more authoritative. When his eyes travelled to the floor, he regarded his own reflection in David's cum. Maybe his own transformation into this four-legged tiger was symbolic...?

Maybe... he now had legs so that he could run. Run and break free from the chains that held him down.

Ben went over to Tony and took the dice. "Not sure what'll happen when the Game ends. But I guess as long as we're prepared for the consequences, it'll be alright."

Shaun padded over to his mate, wrapping his muscular arms around Ben and licking his wolf's cheek lovingly. "And we're in it together."

Ben turned toward him, smiling brightly. Their lips met and as they drew close into the kiss, Ben let the dice drop to the ground, giving the signal it was time to be less mushy.

The d6 landed on 4, moving Ben's Avatar forward to a yellow tile. With his d20 on a 6, Ben bent down and picked up the yellow card and read it aloud, "Effect roll. Target Self." He regarded the charts and sighed heavily. "6 means a red square. More physical changes for me!"

His Avatar moved to the closest red tile which was actually a tile backwards. Ben picked up the d20 again and let it skitter across the board. Shaun was a little surprised as he traced the path of Ben's Avatar that his wolf was actually the closest to his Finish. In terms of the Game, Tony was the next closest followed by Shaun and David brought up the rear.

Again, he wondered if there was some sort of symbolism in that.

Ben picked up the red card as his dice settled on a 4. Shaun remembered that a 10 meant a double dose of the 'cash' effect. He had never seen that effect before so was very curious.

"Huh... Roll Effect," Ben read. "This is a little wordy. It says to roll the d20 and then multiply the result by a thousand to determine the amount. Target... All."

That was oddly specific. Remembering they had a 'Cash' effect, Shaun was again made to wonder if this Game had some form of sentience to it. Recalling the arguing announcers, he wondered if there was some camera or spying device in the Game that allowed the masters to alter the results of the cards.

"This is going to be interesting," Ben said, picking up the d20.

"Here's hoping for a twenty!" Tony laughed.

Ben rolled the d20... and it came to a halt on a 13.

What came next... Well, it was both hilarious and a little annoying.

Mountains of money came pouring in from the ceiling, springing out of nowhere and covering them all. Shaun gave a cry of horror as he was suddenly covered in fifty-two thousand dollars worth of bills. He barely even got out a 'holy shit' before he was struck on the head by organised bills and thrown to the ground, partially buried by 'his' money.

"We're rich!" Tony exclaimed, giving a joyful cry as he tossed his thirteen grand into the air. "Goodbye student fees!"

"For like a semester..." Ben grunted, picking up one of the wads that was partially soaked in his father's cum. "Still... This is pretty good. I can pay for the next date."

Shaun was instantly sitting upright again. "Where are we going?"

His wolf just gave him a sly wink and tossed him the dice.

Grinning, Shaun had his turn, letting the dice dance on the board. His Avatar moved forward two spaces, landing him on a blue tile. Like every other blue instance, everyone held their breath as the d20 decided the effect. It landed on a 2 and given that was the 'Animal Instinct' effect, they let out a faint relieved sigh.

Shaun reached down for the blue tile and his heart instantly sank. "Double effect. Target... All... Again. Shit."

He heard a loud clop and a the whinny of a horse. When he turned towards David, he saw the equine's cocks fully erect and his tail thrashing in glee.

"Shit..." David grunted. "Such a fucking stud... A fucking stallion..." He neighed once more, cum dribbling from his muzzle. His cock-tongue emerged once more and he tapped his hoofed feet against the ground, indicating his approval.

It was a little scary and cute at the same time.

Deep purring brought his attention to Tony and his pride. All four lions were cuddling against one another, rubbing their cheeks against various body parts and lovingly caressing each other's athletic bodies. Naturally, their cocks were erect.

He next turned to Ben... and gulped.

Ben's soft, brown eyes were gone... replaced by feral, yellow orbs filled with lust and dominance.

"Oh -"

He never got to finish as Ben immediately pounced on him, sending him crashing to the ground once more. A loud shout of 'Mine!' erupted from the wolf and Ben immediately sank his fangs into Shaun's shoulder, a mating bite and one that kicked off a strange reaction deep in Shaun's brain. For some reason, it felt like he had just gotten engaged. His heart fluttered, his mind raced with images of standing in front of a chapel as a tiger-taur in a specially made tuxedo with his hunky wolf beside him uttering 'I do'. Tear ran down his cheeks as he cried 'Yes' over and over again like a love-struck girl that had just been offered the most dazzling engagement ring.

Ben began licking the wound and nuzzling him tenderly. "I love you."

His heart just leapt into his throat and he tearfully replied with, "I love you too."

With a soft sigh of contentment, Shaun rolled his huge wolf off of him and tapping his nose playfully with a finger. "After, okay? Let's finish this round first."

Ben nodded as the dice were quickly returned to Tony's hands.

The lion threw the dice, watching his Avatar stride forward a single space and land on a green square. The rare squares were a treat as Tony picked up a green card, his eyebrows rising. "Triple effect. Target: Previous player. That's you, Shaun."

With the d20 on a 15, that meant...

"I get three turns? Sweet."

Shaun picked up the dice, realising just how he could proceed to his finish with three turns. As long as he didn't land on a yellow square that sent him crashing back to the start. He threw the d6 and grinned broadly when it landed on a 6. His Avatar stopped on a red square. The d20 shortly followed, showing a 17.

If memory served, that was an 'Arms' effect. He imagined himself with another set of arms. It was both arousing and a little frightening at the same time. In the back of his mind, he couldn't shake the feeling he would end up looking like some sort of striped centipede.

He picked up the red card. "Single effect. Target: Next player." His eyes lifted towards Tony. "Guess you get a second pairs of arms the, don't you kitty?"

A loud neigh tore his attention away from the pride and towards David. The horse had doubled over, crossing his arms across his chest. Two bulges began to grow just underneath his armpits, throbbing with his heartbeat. Fingers slowly pushed themselves out of each bulge, tipped with the same black nails as his other fingers. Thick, corded muscles criss-crossed the growing appendages as they throbbed and grew, taking the shape of a pair of ripped arms that flopped to the ground, fingers twitching as new life flooded into them.

"What the...?"

"Dad!" Ben exclaimed, rushing to his gasping father.

"Remember, it was my turn that gave you your three turns," Tony said, just as startled as everyone else. "So that means, the 'next player' would actually be David. Not me."

David gripped his son's broad shoulders and the contact with such firm muscles caused his cocks to immediately spring into attention. The equine grinned lewdly and leaned back. He immediately put his new arms to good use, clutching two of his cocks while a he held his third with his original pair.

"Yeah, you're alright," Ben chuckled, leaning down and licking his father's cheek. David tried to go for a kiss but Ben quickly pulled away and handed the dice back to Shaun. "Two more to go, stud."

Grateful that the change was not too drastic, Shaun threw the dice once more. His Avatar move forward two four spaces and the d20 came up with an 8. Which meant muscle growth. Everyone in the room was suddenly eager. It seemed they all agreed that effect was something they all enjoyed. For that, Shaun was grateful and he plucked the red card, waiting to see who the target would be.

However, he frowned when the effect made itself known.

"Divide roll by four... Target: Player order +2." His eyes slowly rose. "That would mean..."

An 8 on the d20 was the 'Muscle Growth plus' effect but divided by four would land it on a 2... 'Cock Growth'.

And player order +2 was... Well David would be the next player and the next one after that would be...

Ben toppled back, whimpering loudly as his cock suddenly surged outwards, thick veins crisscrossing the massive, red, meaty member. The already impressive sixteen inch monster rose even further up Ben's chest, creeping up like a red, salivating snake over the valley of Ben's pecs. The wolf pulled his muzzle away, whimpering but with eyes fixated on his rapidly approaching cock with a conflicted expression. Shaun could only watch in utter awe as the gargantuan dick came two feet long and poked Ben's nose, urging the wolf to do what everyone in the room was thinking.

Ben's nostrils flared up and maybe he got a whiff of his own pheromones but he turned towards his monster of a cock and licked the tip. The wolf shuddered and broke into a series of pants. His legs had to be splayed wide as his balls made it impossible to cross his legs comfortably.

Utterly surprised, Shaun padded over to his mate and pressed a paw against the member. It had to be as thick as his arm!

"Damn..." he muttered. "You're going to have to let me suck you off a couple of times before I can take you again, buddy..."

"I think the rest of me has to grow to fit this thing..." Ben muttered, hesitant to touch his own cock.

"Suck yourself off!" came the cry from Steven. "Come one! You know you want to do it!"

Ben threw him a foul look and nodded at his mate. "Go on, babe. Take your next turn."

Nodding, Shaun swiped the dice off the ground and gave them a good roll in his paw before letting it drop. The mini-tiger-taur on the Game board strode forward a single space, landing on the third red tile in a row.

This time, the d20 revealed a 1. Just the ordinary 'muscle growth' effect.

Shaun wondered what else the Game would throw at them as he picked up the red card. It read, 'Single effect. Target: Player's Choice.'

His eyes glanced around the room. All but Ben was eager for the change and as much as he wanted to grow more to accommodate his mate's cock, he knew he would much prefer to have that growth bestowed upon him by Ben. It just felt like a sort of exchange of vows, to be transformed by his mate. It was a change that they would both agree too and something in their control, not sanctioned by the Game.

"I choose you, Tony."

Tony's eyes went wide. "Say what!?"

The lion's entire body was suddenly a mess of twitching muscles and quaking bones. He lay back on the floor, moaning loudly, cock fully erect. His pride exchanged hungry glances and eagerly pounced on him, rubbing themselves on his growing mass. Firm, athletic muscles became big, bulges that clearly set him as the master of the pride. Veins appeared across his forearms and thighs. His pecs grew nice, big and plump. Strangely, the thick fuzz of mane on his chest grew even thicker, spreading all over his mountainous pecs and even forming a neat little treasure trail down to his cock.

Tony let out a gasp as Xavier eagerly took his cock into his muzzle. Steven, eager to please, crawled over to his master's feet and licked the twitching and curling toes as veins popped across Tony's calves and feet. Eli, not to be outdone, wrapped his leg around Tony's muscular chest, cock sliding in between Tony's pecs, milked by the sheer strength of those muscles.

"Aw fuck!" Tony cried and his body gave one last, powerful shudder, his muscles erupting to their new size. As if on cue, all three members of his pride orgasmed at the same time, spraying each other with their seed.

"You sure enjoyed that," Shaun laughed.

Tony could only emit a faint gurgle as a reply, making Shaun laugh.

Taking the dice, Shaun handed them to David who was still busy with his multiple arms and cocks. "Your turn, Papa Dave."

The use of the nickname made David squirt a little bit but it also brought some semblance of sense and he held out one of his hands to accept the dice. Still, he was wrapped up in his world of cocks and cum and threw the dice without a second thought.

The d6 landed on a two.

And his Avatar moved forward two spaces... onto a black tile.

Shaun braced himself. "Oh shit..."

The apartment became consumed in complete darkness. Shaun tried to find Ben through the darkness but by the time he took a step forward, the blackness was broken by the gently shaking down lights of an enormous warehouse. Stacks of wooden crates rose up to form a forest of towering blocks, casting shadows where anything could hide.

"What...?"

A few feet from him, Ben and the rest of players lay, startled and just as confused as he was. Erections were quickly shrinking back into sheathes as an overwhelming sense of dread began to creep over them. The cold of the warehouse also killed any overly active libidos, even David's.

"The game is: the Hunt."

Everyone stared at the ceiling in surprise. The voice was not the ordinary female one they had been accustomed to. This was the masculine voice that seemed to command the woman's.

"Hey! What happened to the usual announcer?" Ben demanded.

"She's dealing with some personal issues," answered the voice. The break of the ominous instructor to weak player relationship shocked them all. "The objective of the game is to survive as long as possible. Special hunters will be dispatched. Those of you that are caught will lose. The winner is the player that survives the longest without being caught.

The Hunt begins in three... two... one... Now_."_

An roar rocked the warehouse.

"Run!" Shaun shouted and he spun, rearing back a little as he turned. He bolted, easily putting considerable distance between himself and the rest of the group except for Ben. To his surprise, Ben caught up with him easily but only because his boyfriend was running on all fours.

Realising he didn't have to worry about Ben, he slowed a little and held out his paw. "Get on!"

A little hesitant but nonetheless grateful for the help, David leapt onto his back, clutching his shoulders tightly.

"Tony!" he shouted.

"Go!" Tony replied, bolting with his pride into an alley of boxes. "I'll be fine!"

Another roar was all the cue Shaun needed and he hurried after Ben.

David let out a soft chuckle. "I think this is the first time a horse is the rider." His hands trailed down to Shaun's pecs, squeezing the nipples there. "Not that I wouldn't mind riding you."

"Taken, Papa Dave," Shaun answered, as he followed Ben around a corner. He slapped away David's hands and cursed as they came to a dead end. "Fuck... Ben, let's go!"

His wolf nodded and they quickly turned tail and hurried down another path. The warehouse shook with a third roar but a fourth quickly answered. With the extra weight of David, Shaun found himself trailing a little behind Ben but that provided them with a very quick scout. Ben identified dead ends before they wasted time turning into them and wended their way through the maze with some degree of efficiency.

David, however, was no very much help.

He pressed his body up against Shaun's back, leaned in towards the tiger's neck and with his hands roving Shaun's abs. Shaun could already feel those cocks starting to stir in their sheaths. "Come on, Shaun... You know you want it. Fuck, what do you say you, Ben and I have a little 'family bonding', huh? You'll be a real Chambers. You and Ben will share another thing in common: having Papa's seed in you."

Shaun grunted and forcibly yanked David's hands away from his ripped stomach. "Not now. We're trying to survive here!"

"You know you love this body. You know you want to keep it and you know you want to have that big, fat, wolf dick in you forever and ever. Can't do that when you're just a puny human."

A scream cut through the air and Shaun ground to a halt. That sounded like one of the pride. A triumphant roar cut through the air and he half-expected the announcer to bellow out that Tony had lost. A wave of relief passed him as no such announcement came. The momentary pause gave David time to reach down and squeeze his cock over.

Shaun instinctively bucked but David hung on tightly, laughing. "You like that, don't ya? Love it when some hot guy squeezes your cock. Trust me, no feeling like it."

David's cocks were already out of their sheathes, rubbing against the small of Shaun's back. The equine leaned down, resting his neck on the crook of Shaun's neck. His cock-tongue came out a moment later, framed by the horse's grin and dripping precum all over Shaun's chiselled chest.

"Come on," came David's muffled urging. "Let yourself go. Let the beast take over."

"It may be your choice to change like this but Ben and I just want to be together. I'm not going to let anyone, not even you get in the way of that!"

David rolled his eyes and leapt off Shaun's back. "Good for you then. You're luck you found someone." His cock-tongue retreated into his muzzle. "But me... The only thing I 'love' is in your arms now. I stayed with my wife for Ben's sake." He shook his head and let out a frustrated rumble. "This Game is like a new start for me, Shaun. I don't know what a half-man, half-horse with multiple cocks and arms can make of himself in the world but fuck it, it's a sign. There is someone out there for me and I'm praying each round that this Game will bring him to me just like you found my son."

Shaun wanted to protest that it wasn't the Game that drew him to Ben but that would be a lie. "Why do you have to rely on the Game to do that for you? Why not go out there and find him yourself?"

David glanced over his shoulder, a sad expression on his face. "Have you seen me as a human, Shaun? I'm not an attractive man. I looked fifty when really, I'm just in my late thirties. What should be the prime of my life has become my grave. I've been in the same rank as a police officer for most of my life, I live in a rundown, sex-smelling apartment playing a board game with my son and his friends fantasising about fucking each and every one of them.

"You tell me there's someone out there for me and I'll believe you."

A little lost for words, Shaun tried to wrack his mind for some consolidation... something that could bring David's heart up from the slump he was in. It surprised him that the horse held these feelings but he suddenly understood the opening moments of this round when David was coupling with Tony and his pride. And his reactions to his transformations... he loved them because it brought him further and further from the man that he had been.

Another scream cut through the warehouse and this one accompanied by the shout of 'Steven! No!'

The pride was falling.

He locked gazes with David and said, "We don't know what the Game will bring. We don't know if it'll bring someone to you or if you have to find someone yourself but a wise man told me that the road ahead of us is always shaky and rough. Change is inevitable and we have to accept it to move forward but you can't just sit there and wait for it to happen.

"The Game gives us a day to adjust to our changes. What do you do in that time? If you just sit there fantasising about what the next round will bring, than I really feel sorry for you. You could be spending that time looking for your perfect guy!"

Shaun puffed out his chest and said, "So yes, I think there is someone out there for you. You just have to look for him."

A great roar cut through the air and this one followed by a pained yelp of a wolf. Shaun's hackles bristled. "Ben!"

He turned to leave but froze and glanced back at David. Another roar cut through the air, this one much, much closer. Down the path flanked by the boxes, a shadowy creature emerged from around the corner. It looked like some sort of demon... Its huge, muscular flesh was covered in thick, blonde fur and a pair of horns jutted out from its bovine forehead. A huge array of thrashing tentacles lashed out behind it while its eyes glowed a fierce red.

"Shit..." Shaun grunted.

"Go." David stepped in front of him, pressing a hand against his chest and pushing him back. "Find Ben. You found your guy. Time for me to find mine."

Smiling faintly, Shaun said, "He's coming, Papa Dave. Just don't give up."

The equine returned the smile then let out a thunderous roar of his own, charging straight towards the bull. From across the path, the bull lowered his horns and charged, tentacles lashing out wildly. Shaun dared not watch and spun, charging into another path in the maze of boxes.

"Player David has been caught."

"Shit..." he muttered. But there was an announcement. That meant Ben was still -

"Player Benjamin has been caught."

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, the floor came crashing towards his face and he slammed hard against the hard, concrete beneath him. Stars flashed before his eyes. Thick, slimy tendrils wrapped around his arms and legs, lifting him up into the air with surprising strength. When his vision cleared, he found himself suspended into the air, legs splayed out wide by another of those blonde bulls. The creature grinned maniacally as its thick, 9 inch cock dripped with precum.

"Fuck you!" Shaun shouted, struggling to break free. Another set of tentacles wrapped around his waist and lower body, keeping him completely helpless.

Then he saw the future...

The bull lowered him towards its cock.

He knew this was the end...

But he was going out fighting.

"Just try it buddy! I'm used to bigger dicks!"

Then there was a burst of pain from his ass...

...

"Player Shaun has been captured."

*****

Shaun started awake, feeling a sharp pain in his ass as he sat up. He found himself back in the apartment and around him were the other players. He did a quick check of his body, looking for any signs of fur, extra legs or claws. Much to his relief, he had just gained a rather significant amount of muscle and a light dusting of chest hair. Nothing yet out of the ordinary.

Across the room from him, Ben lay on his side, panting with tongue hanging out. His entire body was a mountain of muscle. Forget football player, he was a goddamn profession bodybuilder suited to be Mr Olympia. His cock also bounced freely against his abs, a full foot in length and thick as a beer can. Definitely not something to be complaining about.

Not too far from Ben lay his father. David was on his back, legs sprawled around him and with his body chiselled like a male model's. His changes were the greatest, however, as a third cock had joined its siblings and his body was covered in a thick dusting of dark brown hair, almost bordering on fur.

Shaun wondered why David's changes were the gravest of them all when in theory, Tony had lost the most rounds. Though in terms of their Avatars, David's was the least like a human.

Speaking of Tony...

He found the philosophy major standing not too far away, a card in his hand and the Game shut at his feet. No doubt, the lion won the round for the first time. The worried look on Tony's features, however, did not fill him with confidence.

"Looks like you won your first round, huh?" he said, shaking getting to his feet.

Tony looked up, a frown on his features. "Yeah..."

"What's your prize?"

Tony cast a look over his shoulder at where Steven lay, slumbering a few feet away curled up like an adorable lion-man. He then gave Shaun the card.

Shaun gave it a cursory glance... and frowned.

"What...?"

"That's what I said..." answered Tony. "Absorption... the power to devour my slaves to make myself stronger... It specifies I get to get them back at the end of the round but..." His eyes narrowed. "I don't think I can do that to them... They're not like that... I... I..."

Shaun smiled, resting a hand on his friend's shoulder. "You love them, don't you?"

Tony returned a shaky smile. "Is that stupid?"

Shaking his head, Shaun said, "No. It's sweet." He handed the card back to Tony. "What's stupid is giving them names that make the anagram 'SEX'."

Steven. Eli. Xavier.

SEX.

Tony smirked. "I thought no one noticed."

Shaun elbowed his friend lightly. "Hey. We're both cats. Feline intuition."

Looking towards the Game, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but wonder what the next round of the Game would bring. Each of them were hitting their stride and he could see them reaching their respective finishes in the near future. A moment of dread filled him at the thought of an unknown future but just as their waiter had said...

The future is always unknown... but roads are easier travelled with good company.
