In this sequel to The Monkey's Paw, Matt tries to find his friend Ben with the aid of the beautiful doctor Rosa Valazquez, but little does he realize that he's being watched and she is more than she appears to be... there are wishes to be granted, after all...


“The Monkey's Gambit"

“BEN!"

Matt woke up so violently that the floor under his bed shook a little bit, he was still shaking and even as a nurse rushed to him, he was still sweating from the nightmare he'd just had. He looked at the girl that had come to his aid and leaned back as she pushed into him, speaking in a language he had absolutely no understanding of. As she tucked him back in, a blinding flash of lightning from outside broke his daze and he looked to see that it was pouring down rain so hard that he couldn't even see the trees beyond the window.

The nurse placed a wet towel over his forehead and he grabbed her hands, making her gasp and stare at him in confusion. “M-my friend? Where is my friend?" She spoke again, clearly not understanding his questions until she said the word “Doctor". “Yes! Yes, please where is the doctor I must speak with him?"

“The doctor is right here, Mister. Harrison." A voice spoke from the doorway as a beautiful, tan-skinned woman stepped into the room. She was still huffing and wiping her glasses on her coat as she approached Matt and looked him over, her dark chestnut eyes looking almost completely black in this low light. “And you seem to be doing much better today." She said, her accent thick but still quite understandable. “You don't seem to realize how lucky you are."

Matt put his hands on hers gently and pulled them down some so he could look into her face. “Please...please you have to tell me if you've seen my friend Ben. He's about...yay tall and has a dark complexion and--"

The doctor laughed. “Oh yes. Yes, I met him when you were brought in here. Worried sick over you he was."

“Where is he?"

“I'm not sure." She admitted with a shrug. “People come and go around here all the time; the last I heard, he had taken one of our trail jeeps out, but he hasn't come back yet."

“W-well aren't you going to do something? What if he's missing? What if he's hurt I--"

“Relax, relax my friend. This is a big place if you haven't noticed. It's not uncommon for someone to head out into the wilderness for days at a time. But trust me, our jeeps have Onstar tracking, Two-way radios, plenty of rations and water to last for days...hell even lately we've been stowing cattle prods and tranquilizer guns in case of a run-in with wildlife. SO trust me, your friend is fine." She pushed him back in place with a forceful ease and checked his vital signs with a stethoscope and her own bare hands. “But at least you're doing better than you were..." She noticed the sweating. “Having bad dreams?"

“Wh-what no...no...I'm just worried."

She smiled. “Well I am sure your friend is fine." She paused. “Say...your friend isn't by any chance...a boyfriend?"\

Matt felt his face go red as he blushed furiously. “What?! N-no! No! I'm totally straight, Ben's just a really good friend of mine. That--that's all!"

There was a hint of a smile on the doctor's face, which he could tell she pushed back. “Oh! I...I see. Well..." She cleared her throat as she put the medical equipment away. “Well, I am happy to report that you are in perfect health. Mr. Harrison..."

“Matt. Please." The man said politely. “And thank you Doctor..."

“Vasquez." She replied without much of a prompt. “Or Rosa if you'd like."

“That's a nice name." He admitted. “Would you...like to grab some coffee sometime?"

Rosa smiled back. “I'd like that." She said, before forcibly pushing him back into a reclined position on the bed. “But first. Bedrest. You can talk to your friend when he gets back, okay?"

Matt smiled softly and settled back into his bed. “Okay. Thanks." He said as she waved at him, heading out of the room to continue her rounds.

As Matt leaned back in his bed, he closed his eyes. Completely unaware of the other presence in that hospital room as Zekai's visage vanished from the reflection of a nearby mirror.

It was two days later when Matt really began to worry about Ben. His mind had been in a frantic mode ever since he'd gotten up and started to move around more throughout the hospital. But no matter who he encountered, no one had seen his friend for the last several days. On another stormy night, as Matt joined Rosa over a well-dressed meal he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

“It was probably nothing." Rosa said as she waved a hand in Matt's face to distract him from his worries. She had taken several bites of her meal while he hadn't touched his plate at all yet. As he looked at her, she gave him a reassuring smile. “He might have gone back to the states, maybe he wanted to get away from this place. The heat, the wildlife, the amount of danger we go through just to survive here? It's crazy!" She laughed.

“Have you been able to track it down through the Onstar system yet?"

Rosa frowned a bit, sitting herself back in her chair. “No." She looked at his expression and stammered to make up for it. “But...but that could mean a lot. He could have disabled the system, or the car might have just lost its battery power. That could cause the system to reset, you know?"

“I don't like this." Matt said. “It's...not like him to do this sort of thing. Ben's not like me; he's smart. Calculating... you wouldn't believe the amount of times he's had to clean up a mess that I've made. I owe him my ass a thousand times over--"

“And you say you aren't boyfriends." Rosa answered smartly, smiling as she bit down on the contents of her fork. There was a slight pause and she smiled. “Look, it's supposed to be raining like cats and dogs for the next day or two, but if you really wanted to go out and look for him, I guess we can take one of the emergency jeeps tomorrow to try and locate the other one. It'd be like finding a needle in a haystack, but I'm sure we can give it a good effort."

“I'd...I'd like that Rosa. Thank you."

She smiled. “Happy to help."

“She doesn't want to help...she's just trying to get in your pants, Matt can't you see?" A voice seemed to whisper into Matt's ear, and with the whisper came an absolutely creepy sense of foreboding, his skin crawled at the sound of the voice and he shuddered. He put a hand on his forehead and tried to push the thoughts from his mind, but they tried to persist. “Come alone... save Ben..."

“Matt?" Rosa asked, putting a hand on his forearm. “Are you alright?" He didn't answer for a moment, still trying to concentrate on her. “Matt?!" She asked, more insistent as she shook his arm. He inhaled sharply.

“Yes. I'm fine." He admitted after a moment. “Sorry, what were you saying?"

Rosa looked a little worried. “I was...saying maybe we should call it an early night." She said. “It might take hours for us to search for him so getting out earlier might help our chances."

“Oh..." Matt shook his head, and then wiped his hands along his hair, fluffing it up some. “Right. Yes. Good--good idea."

The rest of their meal went off well, Matt though constantly felt distracted. Wondering what had happened during their conversation, but eventually he shrugged it off as his own exhaustion. As she went to her room, Matt retreated into his own chambers; while it was good to be out of the hospital wards, it felt somewhat empty without Ben, who had now been missing for seven days. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get to sleep, but he soon found himself able to nod off while watching a video on his phone.

“Maaaaaaatt..." He could barely hear the voice whispering his name as he felt a pair of hands come to rest on his large chest. “Matt come for me, my love.."

“Rosa?" He asked, only to receive a soft touch covering his eyes.

“Shhhh keep your eyes closed." She whispered into his ear, the warmth of her breath making his skin dance as her hands slowly drew open his shirt and her flesh touched his chest. “You want me, don't you?" She asked.

“Nnnhhh...yes..." He admitted, running his hands along Rosa's slender frame, feeling she was barely wearing anything, it felt like some sort of a silk gown that draped over his body as she sat on him but she kept her hands over his eyes. “You are so beautiful...I want you so much..."

He felt her body move against him, laying across him, he could feel her breasts against his chest, her soft skin against his arms as he moved his hands up her body. He could feel her lips brush against his own as his personal needs began to grow, and grow in desire. Until finally, her fingers slid off his eyes and he slowly opened them to look into her eyes; only to see Ben's familiar face looking down at him.

“Mmm hey there Matt..." He said with a growl. “I hope you're enjoying this..."

Suddenly, Matt could feel Ben's cock pressed against his, their flesh throbbing and arousing, making him gasp in shock as he suddenly couldn't move. He opened his mouth to speak but the words wouldn't come; he was frozen in place, trying to force himself to move. He could smell something...some...strange musk filling his nostrils, filling his mind as he leaned his gaze back to see a pair of burning red eyes in a frightening monkey's skull laughing down at him.

“Come join us Matt...come find him..." The monkey said as he laughed.

Matt turned his gaze back to Ben, who had completely transformed into a massive feathered bear with dark fur and huge muscles. He grinned wildly at Matt and he lunged for him, his mouth going completely over Matt's face and blotting out the world around him with darkness.

Matt gasped loudly as he jolted awake; he was in his own cot and had almost fallen out of it with how violently he had flipped over in his bed. He bolted upright and found he had been sweating profusely in his sleep. “Holy...shit what was that?" He asked, running a hand through his sweat-soaked hair.

“Matt? Matt! Are you okay? Rosa asked running into the room. “I was coming to see you and--"

“I'm fine. I'm fine..." Matt said, breathing heavily, trying to get his heart rate under control. He looked at her and frowned. “But I think Ben's in trouble...like...a lot of trouble."

“What do you mean?"

Matt shook his head dismissively. “Forget it. Are...are we ready to go?"

“Yeah. Just get yourself dressed and we'll head out."

Rosa drove; despite Matt's initial suggestion that he head out alone, she insisted by climbing into the driver's seat. Everything else had already been packed into the back of the jeep. Despite her more demure appearance, Rosa was quite wild behind the wheel. Prompting Matt to buckle his seatbelt as the pair bucketed down the dirty, broken road as they drove into the jungle. Their destination was unknown, but hopefully if they get closer to the missing jeep something would ping on their detectors. They conversed over their lives before coming to South America, and Matt even let her in on the reason why Ben had insisted on their trip.

“Zekai? You two are looking for the temple of the monkey demon?"

“Well...actually it's an amulet that Ben was looking for. He said it had some magical powers or something like that." He shrugged. “Grants wishes."

“Really." She replied intrigued. “And you let him go out into the woods on his own to find it?"

“Like I could have stopped him." Suddenly, as if timing itself perfectly the radio in Matt's hand beeped and he looked down at it. He put it up to his mouth. “Ben? Ben! Is that you?" Nothing but static returned. He looked at Rosa. “How close do we have to be for it to pick this up?"

Rosa shrugged. “I don't know...half a mile?" She said looking around.

“Okay. Okay go ahead and stop, let me out, I'm going to head off into the jungle, if you can circle around to see if the signal is stronger or weaker, I need to go looking for him."

“Are you--are you sure?"

“Yeah. Go ahead and stop."

The jeep came to a stop and Matt climbed out, taking his pack and slinging it over his shoulders. As Rosa drove off, he made his way down the embankment toward the edge of the road. As he made his way down, the terrain got steeper and stepper until he was practically sliding down. Eventually he hit the end and came down a drop of about six feet, landing softly on a solid even line of dirt that led toward the thick jungle foliage. He looked up; the clouds were already forming, it would be pouring down rain soon. He didn't want to get caught out in the open if he had a choice in the matter and he quickened his pace, entering the jungle. He adjusted his walkie talkie. “Okay, anything?"

“No." Rosa replied, her voice sounding full of static. “I'll drive out about five miles and turn back. --t's not --otta---nng--kkchh--"

“Rosa? Doctor Vasquez? Are you there?" There was no response, the radio returned static. “Ugh. Useless..." He growled and threw it to the ground before breaking in a full run to the brush and immediately a much darker atmosphere had surrounded him.

Matt immediately felt colder when he entered the darker part of the jungle. As he looked up, he felt a swirl of wind wash over him and it made him feel dizzy for a moment.

“Come on Matt...come to me..." He heard a woman's voice whispering in his ears; this voice sounded familiar, but he shook his head. It couldn't be real. He felt his hands shaking and he felt colder.

“What...is going on?" He asked himself as he stood up. “Ben...where are you? ...how can I help you?"

After another quarter an hour, Matt happened upon the wreckage of a jeep crashed off the road above. He looked up and saw that it had been quite the horrific crash down the hillside. “BEN!" He yelled as he ran to the vehicle and began to search through it. It was the right jeep, that was for sure, but Ben wasn't there. He huffed in frustration as he stood up. “What am I going to do...?" He asked himself.

Matt briefly considered heading up to the roadway above to wait for Rosa to return, but every fiber of his being told him he needed to stay down here and look for Ben. He felt something under his shoe as he took a step away from the jeep and looked down to see an amber-colored crystal in a nice silver necklace. Four little metal clips surrounded the stone like small claws, and as he picked it up, he noticed that two of them had lifted up. He stared into the gem and wondered. “Could this be the amulet Ben had been looking for?" He said to himself. He concentrated his gaze and closed his eyes. “I wish I could find Ben--ow!" He reacted as the stone got warm then almost hot in his hand. He dropped it again and as it landed, he watched one of the prongs lift up. “What the--AUGH!" He cried out and grabbed his eyes as they began to burn in their sockets. “Owww! Fuck! What is happening?!" As the burn faded, he pulled his hands away and realized that his eyes were now glowing, he could see it reflecting off his skin. As he bent down to pick up the amulet, he could see something strange on the ground leading away from the jeep's wreckage. “Footprints?!" He realized as he watched that they vanished into the foliage several feet from him. He didn't know how he did it, but he knew that this would lead him exactly where he needed to go.

As Matt made his way into the thicker part of the jungle, a rumbling of thunder took over the skies above and soon it started to pour down rain, but he didn't care. Matt only ran faster, the darker lighting making the footprints glow even brighter. Eventually, he reached a pit and he came to a stop, only this time the mud under his feet to keep his trajectory going. “Whoa! Whoa!" He shrieked, unable to stop himself before he staggered off the edge. “OH shit!" He fell down the hole. He slipped and slid along the muddy hole until he crashed through the roof of some stone-covered temple passageway and hit the ground hard. “Nnhh!"

It was some dank, dark underground crypt he'd fallen into. Likely connected to he ruins in the area, but he wasn't sure. All he knew is that Ben was here. He could see the footprints everywhere...then...more footprints. On the walls...on the ceiling...all over the ground. And the footprints were getting larger, and larger. Monstrously large! Bear-sized footprints now mixing with the other footprints, a mixture of human and...monkey feet? Just as he was trying to figure this out, he saw Rosa standing at the end of the hall; she was...she was naked. Her lithe, beautiful tanned body completely without a single thread of clothing.

“Matt..." She whispered.

“R-Rosa? What...?

“Come to me, Matt..."

Matt felt a sudden urge, his pants felt tighter all of a sudden. Something made him want her, but he shook his head, trying to resist it. “I..." He put a hand on his head, staring at her body.

“Come now...can't you trust your eyes? Don't you want me?"

“I...I do...but...Ben?"

“He's fine." She smiled. “Ben's where he wants to be now, I can show you to him now, if you want?"

She glided across the floor as she walked, she looked surreal...almost...ethereal as she approached him and placed her arms around his waist, her naked body pressed against his chest. He placed his arms around her and looked into her dark eyes. His heart was racing as she allowed him to touch her smooth skin her lips brushing along his. “I--I'd like that..." He whispered as he felt her arms around him. She looked at him and smiled.

“Would you like... me, Matt?" She asked.

“Ye--yes..." He said, unable to control himself, his mind fogged over by a strange desire as she leaned in closer and he returned the gesture by kissing her.

Matt's arms wrapped around her slim body and kissed her deep. She let out a moan and kissed him, parting her lips and letting his tongue slip in. It was in that moment he felt strange, suddenly, he wanted to kiss him deeper...wait...him? As his hands cupped Rosa's cheeks he noticed they were much rounder, much firmer and...much...hairier? Something else hairy had bumped against his chin, a warm tight muscle had squeezed on his tongue and a hefty smell of...musk?

He opened his eyes to see that Rosa was gone, and in her place was this mischievous-looking monkey. His tail was draped over Matt's neck, his thick, hefty balls were warm against his chin. The monkey had glowing red eyes and a skull for a face; the appearance was so shocking that it took several seconds before Matt realized that he was actually eating out the monkey's ass hole. “Mmm oh, don't stop Matt...you're making me feel like a real woman." He batted his eyes and then began to laugh uproariously as Matt pulled himself away and fell to the ground to watch him laughing. “Hehe, sorry. I couldn't resist." He said. “But you were the most adorable human, I had to get you to trust me...right? It's a shame that your...enhanced eyesight couldn't see through my magic, eh?"

“F-fucker..." Matt grunted and got back up, trying to ignore the erection still persisting in his pants, even after realizing who he was kissing. “Where's Ben!?"

“It doesn't matter." The monkey teased. “Zekai is still too strong for you! You'll never get through!"

“And you're Zekai, right?" He sneered. Zekai smiled and bowed gracefully for him as confirmation. “Well then...maybe I can make myself stronger." He said as he extracted the amulet from his pocket and placed it around his neck. “I wish I had the strength to save Ben..."

His words echoed off and he felt the necklace burning against his chest. He looked down to see the final prong on the amulet pop upright like the others and it began to vibrate. The heat of the metal suddenly caught his shirt aflame, but he didn't feel it burn away and a sudden, overwhelming pain to his stomach and he let out a loud roar as he collapsed to the floor on his hands and knees. All of a sudden he felt his hips surge in size and his pants ripped apart. His voice grew deeper and more feral, he felt his face burn and extend forward into what looked like a lion's muzzle. His body warm as a wash of golden fur suddenly sprouted from his skin and blanketed him like a carpet from head to toe, his hair exploding into a thick, luxurious mane. His formerly blue eyes becoming permanently golden with the earlier wish. His muscles increased massively in size as he let out a mighty roar that filled the entire room. He slowly got up and loomed over Zekai. He tied to growl at him, but found his throat had choked up as a massive claw grabbed him from behind, he turned to gaze into the green eyes of a massive Owlbeast, who instead snarled viciously at him and effortlessly threw him across the room. Matt slammed against a wall and fell to the floor, growling as he regained his senses and looked up to see the massive beast in its entirety. His eyes widened as he realized his attacker's identity:

“Ben?!"

“A pity." Zekai laughed. “That you didn't see my own workings before it was too late, Matt. I suppose that was the backlash of your wish of vision. All my wishes come with a price. Your wish to be strong enough to save Ben has not only made you more desirable to him; but also it has weakened you to him!" He laughed.

Ben roared and ran at Matt, who tried to stop him, putting his hands out. “Ben! Wait! What are you doing!?"

“But it is, Matt! Isn't it wonderful?" He grunted as his arms grappled around Matt's, their bodies coming together with a loud slap. Matt couldn't move his arms and couldn't resist as Ben pushed their lips together, his tongue invading the lion's mouth and making his entire body grow rigid. Despite the fact that he was straight, his flesh began to swell with need, with desire and his nostrils flared as he inhaled, taking in the Owlbear's musky odor. Just like before it made him want him. But...no...he didn't... did he?

Matt squirmed to try and break Ben's grip, but the bear's powerful arms kept him in control. Soon, he felt the bear's grip tighten, then loosen again before throwing him to the ground like a rag doll. Matt tried to get up, but Ben was already on his ass, his wet tongue slipping along his passage before pressing inward and making him howl in--pleasure. Matt's entire body tensed up, the muscle of his ass tightened as Ben's tongue forced its way inward. “Oh f-fuuuckkk!" His breath elongated his sentence as he heard Ben's massive claws slapping hard against his furry ass. Matt clawed at the stone floor under him, and in spite of himself, he let out a loud, echoing moan. He wanted Ben, he needed him. The feeling happened so suddenly that he almost didn't notice that Ben had grabbed his waist and flipped him over onto his back.

Zekai loomed over Matt now, the lion's golden locks almost blocking out the dark gray fur that the monkey presented him with those thick, heavy balls passing over his body so that he could rest his ass firmly on Matt's face. Matt felt suffocated all of a sudden, gasping and opening his mouth, tasting the demon's musk as it penetrated his senses and clouded his mind. He couldn't tell anymore if he was screaming or moaning for them, but the touch of Ben's tongue in his ass and now this musky scent sitting on his face, Zekai's thick cheeks rocking back and forth made his eyes roll back. He was completely losing himself now and he couldn't help himself. His cock was hard and precum was drooling all over his stomach. Ben grabbed onto Matt's waist, that thick, blackish bear tongue escaping his entrance as he pulled him closer that throbbing mass of flesh pressing tight against his hole, and then it began to press in. Matt's body writhed and flexed, every muscle tight as he pushed his tongue into Zekai's ass. Deep and hard, making the monkey groan loudly and laugh in his merriment.

Matt grabbed the hovering ass over his face and began to aggressively shove his tongue into it, he felt Zekai's legs tremble in response; a thick, wet string of precum draining down over Matt's neck as he began to indulge. His hands grabbing firmly onto the monkey's ass; he could hear Zekai hiss his pleasure through his teeth as he began to slam his body weight down on the lion's face; deeper and deeper, darting his tongue in and out as he smelled Zekai as he let that musk simply fill his senses. Then he felt Ben lift his legs and that thick, massive cock from the Owlbeast slide into him. His moans were muffled, but full of pleasure; even with the pain he couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn with desire. He felt Ben slam into him at the same time as Zekai came down on top of him, and all he wanted now was “More... more!" He couldn't help but scream it out, muffled deep in Zekai's cleft as he dragged him down, feeling the thick bear cock hit the back of his ass wall over and over again, sending waves of pleasure through him.

Zekai panted and howled in pleasure as he watched his two beasts fuck under him, he felt Matt's eager, obedient tongue slither through his bowels, the wetness of the lion's mouth washing his backside. The smell of his sex and musk pooling all over his stomach and he began to speed up the pace. He was so close without having to touch himself he only needed...a few moments...more... He placed his palms flat onto Matt's chest and began to ride him, sliding his ass back until Matt's lips met his taint and balls before rolling forward again. He could feel the occasional touch of their cocks thumping together. He began to growl in pleasure. These two idiot humans were eating every last drop of this up...

At long last both Matt and Ben came; Matt's cum shot hard across his stomach and chest while Ben exploded deep inside the lion's ass; causing a torrent of cum to go shooting from his hole like a waterfall. As Matt came, his tongue pushed in hard and deep, triggering the sensitive prostate inside the monkey, who also began to howl and cum at the same time, coating both of his boys in his own thick...white fluid. It was glorious; and Zekai now had two more for his collection. As he watched both Matt and Ben give in not only to their own carnal desires, but to him he grinned. They were now his.

And soon afterward, the lights of the temple all went out...

Three days later, a woman had arrived at the camp looking for Matt; as she searched the camp, she ran into one of the doctors. He put down the clipboard in his hand and stood staring at the beautiful blond woman standing before him.

“Oh excuse me! Do you speak English?"

The doctor stammered before replying. “W-why--why yes... Yes I do."

“Hi, my name is Lisa Algood; Matt Harrison is my ex husband, I'd gotten a text from him saying he was here, but I haven't heard from him in days. Have you seen him?'

“Not for a few days." The man pondered. “Last I heard he was headed off to the rainforest to find his friend who had gone missing some days before...Ben something..."

“Yes! Yes that's them! He told me that some doctor... Rosa Vasquez was supposed to be guiding him out there...did she ever come back? Could I speak with her please?"

The doctor looked at her with a confused expression on his face. “I-I'm sorry...but I'm the doctor in charge here. There was never a Doctor Vasquez here...at least, not so far as I recall?"

“What? I was...I was sure..." She pondered in confusion.

Meanwhile, unknown to either of them; in a mirror not fifty feet from them, a pair of familiar shadows could be seen in the same room and as they vanished, a pair of burning red eyes appeared, and a monkey's cackling was heard...

THE END
