A New Life: Part 3
Vance has been transformed into a feline shapeshifter and tasked with bringing his new mate's race back from extinction. His next target: his sexy coworker.
Vance grinned as he pulled his car into his usual space outside Jimblemart. It was four hours before his shift was supposed to start, but he didn't care. As far as he was concerned, he had quit his shitty job here last night, two weeks notice or not.
His eyes widened in excitement when he saw Katie walking from her car to the store. His childhood friend was as beautiful as ever. Her rich brown hair fell past her shoulders in luscious waves, and the enticing way her hips swayed inside her tight jeans made Vance's blood run hot despite his current genderlessness.
No, today he wasn't here to work -- he was going to set his friend free of the same tortuous, neverending cycle that he, himself, had just been freed from.
He got out of his car and walked fast across the humid parking lot so that he could catch Katie before she made it inside. A light breeze played with his gray fur, and a customer -- busy loading her groceries into her car -- jumped when Vance's tail brushed against her leg. She didn't see it, of course. The mental camouflage that Myrr had taught him to use would make him look as human as anyone else.
In truth, he was now a Feln, a feline creature that hailed from the far reaches of space.
And soon, Katie would be too.
Just let your instincts guide you, he heard Myrr whisper into his mind through their telepathic link. Your body knows what to do.
How is Troy? he asked in return.
He's sleeping off the transformation, just like you did. But I have him connected to an IV already, so he'll be fine.
Vance nodded, even though Myrr couldn't see it, just as he reached the door in time to hold it open for Katie.
Katie jumped a little in surprise. "Oh, Vance! I didn't see you there!"
Vance just smiled at her.
"What are you doing here so early?" she asked, and then frowned. "Did Gus call you in to bitch at you some more?"
Vance shook his head. "Nah, nothing like that. I actually came to see you."
And with that, he turned on his pheromones. The sweet smell of his sexuality wafted from his body in an invisible cloud, and his smile grew when he saw Katie's eyes widen. He knew firsthand how intoxicating a Feln's musk was, even to a human. Right now, she wouldn't know what was going on, but her heart rate would have picked up just a little, and the smallest hint of arousal would be worming its way through her skin.
"O- Okay," she said, stepping backwards, and Vance let the door swing shut. "I don't have to clock in for another few minutes. What's up?"
Vance looked at her and felt the emotions he'd had for her for years bubble up inside him yet again -- but this time they were different. He still liked Katie. Loved her, even. But now that he'd met Myrr, his one and only true mate, he realized for the first time what kind of love he'd always felt for Katie. Not as a partner, girlfriend, wife, but as a friend.
A friend he intended to fuck the humanity out of, and then travel the universe with, but still a friend.
"I was just wondering if the offer to hang out at your place was still open," he said with another smile.
Katie was getting more and more flustered, and the smile he'd flashed her only served to make it worse.
"Oh, yeah!" she agreed with a touch of color darkening her cheeks. "I get off at six. Do you want--"
"I was hoping," Vance interrupted her, "that we could go there right now."
Katie paused, a look of uncertainty crossing her face, and Vance felt a moment of panic.
Did I go too far? he thought anxiously.
You're doing fine, Vance, Myrr answered. She just needs a little push.
As his mate giggled inside his head, out loud Katie said, "I- I can't. I have work!"
"Come on," Vance said, strengthening his pheromones a little. By now, Katie's mind must have been swimming with lust. The fact that she was still resisting at all spoke to the strength of her willpower. "You've been employee of the month every month for the past three years. You can get away with taking _one_day off, can't you?"
That was all it took. "Yeah, I...I guess you're right." she agreed, equal parts eager and reluctant. "And I have been wanting to hang out with you..."
Vance's heart soared as Katie led him back to her car, so eager to get him to her house that she didn't even need to be asked to drive. He may have been in love with Myrr, but finally getting the chance to have sex with his lifelong crush made his heart race like a caffeinated greyhound. The thought of running his paws over her body, feeling her naked skin pressed against his fur as she grew fur of her own...he almost couldn't stop himself from dropping his disguise and grabbing her the moment he shut the passenger door.
Be patient, Myrr laughed softly in his head. You'll get your chance soon.
The drive to Katie's house was mostly silent. Twice, Katie tried to start a conversation, but the smell of Vance's pheromones -- which had filled the entire car by now -- kept her from concentrating for more than a minute or two. Vance was more than happy to sit without talking, spending the drive looking at Katie and imagining all the amazing things they were going to do together when they got to her house.
Katie turned off the main road, onto a smaller street that wound its way uphill into the woods. There, comfortably shaded beneath the tall trees, was her home. A small, cozy two bedroom place, not much bigger than Vance's old apartment but infinitely nicer. Katie pulled into the driveway, killed the engine, and turned to look into Vance's eyes.
"Vance," she asked in a small, timid voice, "we're not here to play video games...are we?"
Vance reached out and gently took her hand. "No. But you want to do it, don't you?"
More pheromones, even stronger than before.
"I...I do," she confessed, looking ashamed. "But I shouldn't!"
"Why not?"
"Because...Because..." She breathed in, inhaling even more of his scent, falling even further under Vance's spell. "I feel..."
Vance reached up and touched her cheek. "Let's go inside, okay?"
Katie was definitely turned on now. Vance's sensitive Feln nose could smell her arousal almost as much as she could smell his. Completely lost for words, she nodded mutely, and the two of them got out of the car. Katie led the way to the front door, and Vance followed right behind her. She unlocked the door, opened it, and Vance stepped inside first.
Katie, still standing outside, looked at him. Her eyes revealed a mix of fear and excitement. She wanted him -- for the first time in his life, Katie was looking at Vance the way he'd always dreamed she would.
But something was still holding her back. What was it?
Vance held out a hand, and Katie hesitantly took it. He pulled her into the house, so close to him that her breasts bumped into his chest.
"Tell me to stop," Vance whispered, "and I'll walk right out that door."
"Vance, I..."
"Should I go?"
Standing this close, Vance's feline ears could hear how hard Katie's heart was beating. He wasn't going to rape his friend, no matter how badly he wanted her. If she told him to stop, he would. But he didn't think she was going to.
Suddenly, Katie spun away from him, and for a horrible second Vance thought he'd been rejected. Instead, Katie grabbed the door and slammed it shut, sliding the deadbolt into place. Then she stood there, facing the door, as if waiting for something -- something that Vance was only too happy to give her.
He stepped forward until he was pressed against Katie's back and wrapped his arms around her middle. Then, using the powers he still didn't fully understand, he let his camouflage fade, revealing him as the feline alien he truly was.
But he didn't stop there. With lust burning in his veins, he let his desire take him, and his body swelled with muscle as it shifted into his male form. The familiar feeling of a cock hanging between his legs returned, his shaft growing erect within seconds of forming. As close as they were, his rod rose up in between Katie's legs, and she gasped softly when she felt it press against her crotch from below.
"Vance, what's happening?" she asked. Her voice sounded afraid, but she didn't try to push him away or to squirm out of his grip.
"Something wonderful has happened, Katie," he whispered into her ear.
He pressed the side of his face against hers and rubbed his cheek up and down like an affectionate cat, a purr rising from his chest. His hands were clasped around Katie's belly, but he raised them higher until he found her breasts. Katie let out a soft moan as he fondled them, his pheromones making her sensitive to his touch even through her shirt and bra.
"Last night, a creature from another planet came to me," he said. "Its name is Myrr. Katie, you wouldn't believe what it told me."
"What?" Katie asked in a breathy whisper, leaning her head back to let him nuzzle her neck more easily.
The smell of Katie's arousal was almost more than Vance could stand. It was all he could do to keep himself from tearing her clothes to shreds, bending her over, and fucking her until she was a Feln like him. But just like Myrr had resisted last night, so did Vance shove his animalistic urges to the back of his mind. Once he had explained the situation to her, and she'd given her consent, then he would take her the way he'd wanted to since the day he'd first hit puberty. For now, he placated himself by raising the hem of her shirt and delicately scraping the tips of his claws against the soft skin of her tummy.
"It told me that it can take me away from all of this," he answered. "My shitty job, these responsibilities, these bills, everything that's ever been wrong with my life. I can have a new life, one full of purpose, discovery -- and love. A life where I'll always be surrounded by people who care about me."
Katie sucked in a breath as he raised her shirt higher, exposing her bra-covered breasts. Gently, but firmly, he grabbed one in each hand and gave them a squeeze, making Katie gasp as pleasure surged through her body. Purring, he slid one finger of his right hand beneath fabric of her bra, tenderly massaging the rock-hard nipple. Katie let out a yelp and pressed herself backwards against him. The friction of the denim against his engorged cock made his member twitch, a milky bead of precum emerging from the tip.
God, he needed her so much it hurt! While she ground her clothed body against his naked one, he raised his long, flexible tail and curled it around to softly caress her bare tummy. Then, with deftness that surprised even him, he was able to work it down past the hem of her pants, softly stroking the hidden flesh within. Katie shivered with need, and Vance reached down to unzip her--
No! Stop it! he snapped at himself. Not until she says yes!
He needed to hurry, though. Just like Myrr had found it hard to keep itself under control last night, Vance's control was quickly running out as well.
Taking her by the shoulders, Vance spun her around to face him. Katie's eyes widened, seeing his true form for the first time, but she still made no move to escape. Vance stared into her eyes, desperately trying to read the thoughts behind them. What was she feeling? Shock? Definitely. Outright fear? He tried to tell himself no, but...
"Katie," he said, "look at what Myrr did to me. No, look what Myrr did for me! And I want to do the same to you."
"Do what?" Katie asked.
"Make you like us."
"Vance, I..."
"You wouldn't believe how wonderful it feels! And you won't be stuck as one gender anymore, either." To demonstrate, Vance shifted into his genderless form, then to female, and then back to Male. "Man, woman, whatever you want to be. We can bring Myrr's race back from extinction, Katie! You'll never have to worry about these pointless earth problems ever again. Please, just say yes and let me take you away from here forever! We'll be--"
He paused when Katie's eyes widened even further -- but not at him. Before he could react, something slammed into the back of his skull, and he collapsed to the floor. Standing above him was a second woman, her hair cut short and died cherry red. A baseball bat was gripped in her hands.
And then the world went dark.
