Tessa Ramsey just got back to her apartment after a hard day at work. All she wanted was to binge watch some old shows and eat dinner. However, it turns out a mysterious package was delivered to her.


A rather short brown haired woman stepped onto the elevator as soon as the doors slid open. Tessa Ramsey was bone tired and more than a little annoyed after a long day at the office. On the one hand, she was lucky to have a job with reasonable pay and ok benefits right out of college, but on the other hand her coworkers sucked. They were all at least a decade older than Tessa and treated her like a dumb kid intern instead of as a colleague. Her manager, Karl, was straight up incompetent and either got to his position through nepotism or blackmail. The man wasn't fit for flipping burgers, and yet rode her ass all day over stupid stuff while Tessa and her coworkers did his actual job for him.

All she wanted to do was crash on her couch, binge watch some old sitcoms, and microwave up some dinner. Tessa stepped out of the old, slow, and slightly smelly elevator. Her soft brown eyes locked onto her apartment door as she made her way down the hall. The building was old, but the landlord at least kept things reasonably repaired. Tessa unlocked her door and slammed it quickly shut behind her.

She tossed her bag and keys on a small table by the door and slipped out of her jacket. Tessa looked pretty unassuming in her sweater and slacks, and most of the time she was, at least in public. She slipped out of the modest kitten heels she was wearing and took the time to stretch out her toes and wiggle them a bit before heading to her futon couch.

Apart from the bathroom, her apartment was just a single room. A counter divided the kitchen from the living space and her living room couch became her bed when it was time to sleep. It wasn’t much, but at her current level she'd rather save the money then pay twice the rent just to have a bedroom.

Tessa flopped down onto her futon couch and stared blankly up at the high ceiling.

I hate this job so much. Especially that ass-hat Karl. I’m surprised he is competent enough to use his email client. He spends more time sending me pointless micromanaging emails than doing anything remotely useful. God I want to quit…but I need experience before anyone else will hire me. Fuck, I just need to decompress…now where did I leave that remote?

As Tessa looked around for the remote control, her phone started to go off. With a heavy sigh, she pulled it out of her pocket and saw who was calling. It was Dave, the apartment manager.

“What now?” Tessa mumbled before picking up the call. “Hello?”

“Hey, Tessa, it's Dave. While you were at work a package came in for you.”

Tessa raised an eyebrow, as she wasn’t expecting anything. “What? I didn't order anything.”

“All I know is the box has your name and apartment number on it, so it's for you. I need you to come down and pick it up, I'm going out tonight and I want this taken care of..”

“You want me to pick it up now?” Tessa sighed. “Fine, I'll be right down.

“I'll see you in a bit.” Dave replied before ending the call.

“Who sent me a package?” She wondered aloud as she pulled herself up out of her chair. “I haven't ordered anything recently…”

She continued to wonder about the package even as she put her shoes back on and left her apartment. Tessa rode back down to the first floor and knocked on the door to Dave's apartment. He answered quickly, and already had the box in his hand.

“Here it is.” Dave didn't bother with any pleasantries, he just held the package out to Tessa.

She could see her name and address on the shipping label. Tessa picked up the small box. She was surprised how heavy it was, given it wasn't that large of a box, though obviously it was still way too big to fit in her mailbox.

“So, what is it?” Dave asked after handing it over.

“Honestly, I have no idea. I haven't ordered anything recently. Not to mention I've never heard of this company on the shipping label.”

“I thought it was just from Nile, who's it from?”

“It says LeoTech, LLC on the shipping label.” Tessa looked up from the package. “Ever heard of them?”

Dave shook his head. “No.”

“Me neither. Well thanks for taking the box in for me, I need to get back and start dinner.”

“Alright, good night.” Dave replied before shutting the door to his apartment.

For the second time that evening Tessa started the slow elevator ride back up to her apartment. She kept looking at the box in her hands, wondering what all of this was about. Was it some kind of scam? Was she sent something by mistake? Was it a prank from her brother?

This better not be a glitter bomb… Tessa thought as the elevator doors finally opened.

Once she was back in her apartment Tessa placed the box on her coffee table. She picked up the remote and switched on the TV. After the streaming service started up, she flopped back down on the couch and picked up where she had left off from last night. As the all to familiar opening song from a 90s sitcom started to play, Tessa's eyes kept staring at the box.

I can't take it… She sighed and got up.

Tessa grabbed a pair of scissors out of a drawer. She slit open the tape and opened the box up. Surrounded by packing peanuts Tessa saw something encased with bubble wrap. After cutting her way through the wrap with the scissors she saw what exactly had been shipped to her. It was a bronze statue of a lion. From what she could tell, it was very detailed. Although not her style, Tessa could appreciate the realistic depiction of a lion. She turned the bronze statue over in her hands, but saw no markings or anything anywhere on it. Tessa placed the lion down on her table and dug though the box, but found no invoice or note of any kind inside the box.

Tessa sat down and stared at the lion. It was nice enough, though it wasn't anything she would have gone out of her way to get. She rubbed her chin as she pondered the situation.

Who would send me a lion statue, and why? Also, what's up with there being no shipping invoice or anything in the box? Did some idiot in shipping forget to put them in before taping it shut? Maybe I should look up this LeoTech company, I've never heard of them before.

With the show playing in the background, Tessa continued to stare at the lion statue and wonder why she was sent it in the first place. Just as her eyes started to shift to the TV she was suddenly surprised with a high pitched beeping noise. She quickly looked around her apartment before realizing it was coming from the lion. She reached out and touched the cool bronze of the statue and suddenly the beeping stopped. She then heard some kind of mechanical sound.

Suddenly, there was a loud hissing sound and some kind of thick white gas bellowed out from the mouth of the statue. Tessa cried out in panic as her apartment quickly started to fill with whatever it was. She started to cough loudly as it filled her lungs. She stumbled to her feat and with blurry eyes she rushed to a window. Gritting her teeth She forced the old window to open. After a lot of protesting the sash flew up and Tessa could breathe fresh air.

Furious at what had happened, Tessa moved to open another window to further aid in airing out her home. Once the thick mist had thinned out to almost nothing, Tessa glared at the troublesome statue.

“I would have preferred a glitter bomb!” She growled.

Tessa stomped over to the table and snatched up the statue. She intended to throw it out the window, but after only a few steps, something suddenly didn't feel right. Tessa placed a hand over her eyes as she suddenly felt dizzy, but that wasn't all. She could feel the warm tingle of arousal starting to rise up from between her legs. She stumbled back to her couch, letting the statue fall to the floor with a loud clunk.

“What the hell is going on?” She moaned, partly from her spinning head and partly from the growing need for release. “What the hell was in that smoke?”

Tessa felt her heart pounding inside her chest, but was more affected by the sudden flash of heat she was feeling. She pulled off her sweater, tossing it over the back of the couch leaving her top covered with a button down white blouse. She needed something cold to cool off with. Tessa slowly got back on her feet and took a few shaky steps towards her fridge. She cried out and Tessa found herself unable to move. It was like every muscle in her legs suddenly cramped. Frozen in place she started to feel scared, Something was wrong with her body. Tessa winced as she reached down to gently rub her legs. The cramp was slowly starting to relax, but now it felt like the muscles were twitching constantly.

Is it like an eye twitch? Do I need to eat a banana? Tessa was reaching for straws at this point.

Just above her legs on her abdomen, she felt two spots that started to tingle and itch. She scratched them without a real thought, her attention was focused far more on her legs. That was until she felt the bumps. There was something there, and it wasn’t just a bug bite or pimple. It was big, and clear enough to see even with her blouse over them. She quickly unbuttoned her blouse to get a better look. By the time she finished, Tessa could see two bumps, almost the size of golf balls and they were twitching.

“Oh my god! What’s happening to me!” Tessa shouted out of shock and fear.

As she watched the two bumps continued to grow and twitch. At first they were nothing more than lumps of flesh, but quickly they began to take shape into something else. The bumps elongated and they stiffened as bones began to form inside. As she watched they soon became baby-sized limbs. More frightening was Tessa could feel them, as much as any other appendage.

Am I growing another pair of arms? No…legs maybe? They don’t even look human…what’s human about legs growing out of your gut? Tessa was in a full on panic now. Should I call an ambulance, or am I just hallucinating all of this? Then again, if I am going crazy I should probably still call for help. But what if they lock me up as some kind of mutant freak?

Tessa’s train of thought was interrupted as she felt a new sensation in her legs, or at least her original pair. Her black slacks were growing tighter by the second. At first Tessa thought it was some kind of allergic reaction making her body swell up, but as she looked down at her legs that was not the case. Her legs were growing thicker with muscle, enough to see them pressing against the stretching fabric of her black slacks. Tessa stared unbelieving, then she both heard and felt the crack in her legs. It brought her down to the floor.

Before Tessa could make sense of what just happened she felt more popping and cracking in her legs, and something was definitely wrong with her feet. She could feel her shoes growing tighter by the second, but before she could even try to kick offer heels, Tessa’s toes tore through the sides. It was honestly a relief when the pressure stopped, but staring at her feet she almost screamed.

Tessa’s toes and the ball of her foot had more than doubled in size. Her instep was growing relatively thinner And stretching backwards, taking her big toe with it. She could feel the pops and snaps as the bones in her foot rearranged. Her big toe seemed to be absorbed into her body, leaving her with just four giant toes. Tessa watched as her toenails fell away, only to be replaced with long sharp claws that extended and retracted as her foot twitched. The skin on the bottom of her toes darkened and thickened into dark brown pads. Tessa didn’t know what was happening to her body, but she knew a cat’s paw when she saw one, even if it was furless.

Distracted by the transformation of her legs, Tessa had ignored the new pair of appendages growing out from her body. She remembered they were still there when her hands bumped against them, startling her. Looking down there was no doubt in her mind they were some kind of feline leg. They were growing faster, it was almost like she was watching a time-lapse video. The legs grew longer and stronger, retractable claws flexing in and out. If Tessa focused she found she could control the limbs to some degree, but the rapid growth made them hard to control.

The new legs were already longer than Tessa’s arms and then they began to shift down lower and to her sides. At the same time there was a tearing sound as her slacks split up the seams. Her hips had grown into massive and powerful haunches. Tessa’s slacks fell away, leaving her in a pair of pink bikini panties. The high-quality lingerie was so far stretching with her changing body without snapping, but Tessa could feel it starting to dig in and rub against her currently sensitive slit.

Tessa felt her gut fall away suddenly, followed by a pop at her waist. She wasn’t sure what had happened until she felt another pop. Tessa’s spine was stretching, but it wasn’t making her taller. Instead it was growing out behind her. She felt her legs and rear growing away from her body. After another two pops her new legs moved into position underneath her torso. Tessa felt the feline legs popping into place as a second set of shoulders formed where her hips used to be. Although Tessa’s new front legs still had to catch up to her rear, she was now a quadruped.

The changes were far from over there. Her lower back continued to grow, pushing her rear legs further away from her torso. Between her two pairs of legs the lower body began to fill out. At first it was nothing more than a band of flesh surrounding the lengthening spine. But soon that changed as a second rib cage started to form. It quickly filled out into a lower torso. She could feel new muscles forming and organs growing into the newly crafted space. A second heart formed and it scared the crap out of her, feeling its alien rhythm against the heart pounding inside her upper chest. After a few moments they synchronized and the twin hearts pumped much needed blood throughout her expanding body.

Tessa’s legs grew longer as well as stronger now that her new heart could handle the load. Her lower body continued to not only grow longer, but fill out. She let out a low groan of pleasure mixed with pain as her anus and vagina shifted position from under her legs to her rear, rubbing tightly against the stubborn panties that hugged her rear.

Starting at what used to be her waist and running down along her extended back, tawny coarse fur started to grow out to cover her lower body. The fur growing in tickled Tessa , and despite her own horror, she couldn’t help giggling from the sensation. Her back finished growing, but not her spine. Directly above Tessa’s tightly pinched anus a bulb formed. It soon grew into a tail that was quickly covered by her creeping coat of fur. At the tip of the tail a tuft of dark brown fur formed. Seeing her fully formed tail Tessa knew exactly what kind of cat her lower body was changing into.

The fur coat continued to spread down her lower body, covering the powerful feline form. Above her former waist. Tessa’s human half was completely unchanged down to the last freckle. Below that she now had the body of a lioness, and a huge one at that. Bigger than she remembered ever seeing in a zoo. It looked to be the size of a horse.

I’m, I’m like a centaur, only with a lion’s body instead of a horse. Are liontaurs a thing? This can’t be real, I must have passed out from that gas or smoke or whatever and I’m dreaming all of this…and oh god, why am I so horny! What kind of fucked up erotic dream is this? I bet some big male liontaur is going to bust down my door and have his way with me. Tessa rubbed her rear legs together and the panties pressed even harder against her needy slit. Well he better get here soon!

This was not a dream and no liontaur male was about to show up anytime soon. The panties were now getting unbearable. As flexible as her feline body and waist were, Tessa couldn’t reach her own rear to do something about it. Cursing under her breath, she slowly tried to get up onto her four feet.

Her muscles had stopped twitching at least, so with a little concentration Tessa was able to get all four of her feet under her expanded body. She started by pushing up with her rear legs. Her back stretched as she did so and she let out a loud sigh, not realizing how much she needed to stretch. Tessa then pushed up with her front legs. Once she was up, standing was easy. Looking up she was grateful that the old apartment had high ceilings. Otherwise her head would be pushing against it.

Tentatively, Tessa took her first step. The less she thought about it and trusted instinct the easier it was to move around it seemed. Of course, each and every movement of her rear legs had her biting her lip. Tessa needed something to reach the panties and get them off of her butt immediately. As she turned her body, she bumped into an end table, knocking over a small lamp and scattering books onto the floor. Tessa groaned, but decided to deal with the mess later. It was just as well when her tail sent the salt and pepper shakers flying when she made it to the kitchen counter.

“This body is too damn big! And this fucking tail!” She shouted in frustration

Walking further into her tiny kitchen area she bent down low enough to open a small broom closet. It was tall and too narrow to be anything else, so she pulled out her broom. Gripping it by the bristles, Tessa reached back and tried to push the panties down. She managed to get the broom handle under the waistband, but didn’t manage to budge them. Tessa, growing more frustrated, tried to then use the broom handle to just tear the pink panties off. Unable to get good leverage with her rather unimpressive arms, Tessa paused and thought about what she could do. She then had an idea, she wasn’t happy about it, but she was running out of patience with the situation.

Digging around in her junk drawer Tessa found a small roll of duct tape. Then she pulled a sharp knife from the block on the counter. Tessa quickly fashioned an improvised spear and then carefully reached back to slice the waistband of her panties. Stretched as thin as they were, they snapped easily against the blade and fell to the ground. Tessa let out a sigh of relief, but it was fleeting.

With the annoyance removed, Tessa was able to think a little more clearly about her situation. And where her mind was going were not happy thoughts.

Is this temporary, or am I stuck like this? A monster the average person would just run away from. How can I even live like this? I can’t even fit in the elevator with this body. Tessa tried to back out from her kitchen area and accidentally knocked a box of cereal to the ground. I can hardly get around my own apartment! Oh god? What do I do? Do I call someone? Who do I call for this?

Tessa was pacing around her apartment, like a lion in its cage. She walked in a circle around her futon couch trying to make sense of everything, but only freaking out more. Wanting to take a look at the only part of her body she couldn’t see, Tessa headed towards the bathroom. After flicking on the light, she almost jumped at her own reflection in the mirror.

If I jump, how will other people act when they see me? The liontaur wondered as she walked towards the vanity mirror.

Tessa tried to turn around, but only managed to knock some toilet paper and hair spray off a shelf and onto the floor. The room was too narrow for her. Tessa growled in frustration before backing out of the room. She turned around in the main room before backing into the bathroom.

God damn it, it’s like backing a car into a garage, only it’s my body.

She could turn her upper body fairly far back, enough to get a decent view of her furry butt in the mirror. Tessa then had to figure out her tail. She was aware of it, especially when it hit the cup off the vanity, but gaining control of the flexible limb was easier said than done. After several minutes of flexing and focus, Tessa managed to lift her tail straight up. She stared at what was revealed.

Tessa had never bothered to inspect a lion’s butt before, so she wasn’t sure if what she saw was wholly correct, but it certainly didn’t look human back there anymore. Under her tail her tawny fur shifted to a lighter shade. Unlike her old rear that hid her anus, it was on full display, right at the base of her tail. A bit below that she could see her vagina. It looked puffy and wet, which didn’t completely surprise Tessa, given her current state. She dropped her tail and left the bathroom, returning to pacing around her couch.

How am I supposed to deal with any of this? And god damn it! I’m so fucking horny! And I can’t even reach around to do anything about it! Keep it together, Tessa…you have more pressing things than getting off. Like what? Getting a doctor’s note for my condition? She pulled off her open blouse trying to cool off and could easily see her nipples through her bra. Fuck it, I need to get off first!

Once again, Tessa had to figure out a solution to the problem. She went to the bathroom and had to duck down low to make it through the door. On the off chance Tessa ever had a guest over, she didn't want certain things lying around the living room. She lowered herself down to the ground and reached the cabinet under the sink. Tessa shivered as her furry lower body pressed against the cold tiles of the bathroom floor. She retrieved a small plastic box and got back up and slowly backed out of the tiny bathroom.

Once Tessa was back in the main room of her apartment she opened the box. Stashed inside was her collection of personal toys. After glancing back at her now large furry rear, Tessa immediately went for the largest one. The blue silicone vibrator wasn't insanely large, just something she normally had to work her way up to when getting off by herself. Tessa didn’t think that would be necessary at this point.

How do I do this, I can't just duct tape it to a broomstick… She looked around the apartment as she clutched the silicone toy tightly in her small hands. Tessa could feel the need to get off getting worse by the second. But I do need something to hold it for me, and at the right height…

She turned the toy over in her hands. It did have a suction cup on the base, but there was no way she was fitting in the shower anytime soon. Then Tessa had an idea. She had a pizza box in the trash, waiting to be taken down to the cardboard bin. Tessa retrieved the box, the knife she had tapped to the broom, and the roll of tape.

The liontaur tore the lid off the top of the box. She then cut a small slit in the middle of the lid, just enough to slip the suction cup of the vibrator through. After reinforcing the cut with some duct tape she then proceeded to tape the lid to the wall. Getting her security deposit back was the least of her worries; she needed release. Tessa guessed at the height as best she could then turned the vibrator on. Knowing it would be a pain to adjust it in the middle of things, she turned it on high.

It vibrated loudly against the wall. Tessa winced, but was happy she picked an exterior wall at least. She lifted her tufted tail and backed up slowly into position. Tessa let out a yelp when she felt it buzz across her wet slit, but it felt so good to have any stimulation at that point. She adjusted herself and bit her lip before pushing the vibrating silicone shaft into her pussy.

Her wet sex swallowed it up easily and Tessa moaned loudly. She just held it there, letting the vibrations shoot through her now much larger body.

“Oh god! that feels so good…” She moaned out loud.

Tessa rocked back and forth on the buzzing shaft. She wrapped her arms tightly around her mostly bare upper body and closed her eyes. Whatever had taken over her libido was magnifying the sensations. It had never felt this good before, and in the back of her mind that scared her. But right now all she could focus on was working herself up to release.

Tessa’s claws dug into the old wooden floors, digging gouges as she pushed back hard against the wall. She was moaning loudly with no concern for any of her neighbors overhearing her. Her rear was slapping hard against the wall with each thrust. Release wasn’t coming, she was just being driven higher and higher. Then just as Tessa’s mind was about to break it finally hit. She threw back her head, arching her back as she let out a loud cry of release and pleasure.

Tessa gasped as all four of her legs quaked underneath her body. She pulled herself off of the toy and then collapsed onto the floor, unable to do anything other than breathe.

What the hell is happening to me? She wondered silently.

***

The sun had set and apart from the light cast by the TV, Tessa’s apartment was dark. Her toy was still hanging up, though Tessa had wiped her juices off of it. The frame of her futon couch was pushed up against the wall. Tessa had pulled the futon mattress off and spread it on the floor. It was just big enough for her body to curl up on. Tessa had a bathrobe over her upper body, but was otherwise naked. Strangely with the coat of fur on her lower body she didn’t truly feel exposed.

On the coffee table and the floor were empty boxes, cans, and jars of food. After recovering from her orgasm, Tessa was possessed by an intense hunger. She ended up emptying her pantry and fridge to satisfy her hunger. Tessa had no idea what she would do when breakfast time rolled around.

She had returned to her original plan for the evening, watching her old sitcoms while she ate. As she finished off her last bag of microwave popcorn, Tessa sighed to herself.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t going away. I guess I can call off work tomorrow. God knows, I need a break from that hellhole. Then again, that ass Karl would have a hard time looking down at me. Tessa couldn’t help a slight smirk at the thought of standing over her manager and flexing her claws a bit. I’m going to need food though. All I have for breakfast is mayo and mustard at this point. I can get them delivered, like I did back during lockdown. Still, that only gives me a brief break before I have to deal with this new body in the outside world. She crumpled up the bag in her hands. Before any of that though, I need to look into this LeoTech company. Tessa looked up to the shelf where she had placed the lion statue. Whatever was inside that statue caused all this. It might be just a fake company somebody put on the label, but that's all I have to go on. She let out a long sigh. I’ll worry about all that tomorrow. For now I’m just going to relax and try to pass out.

Tessa selected another old sitcom series to play and settled in for the night.
