Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

A few droplets of bright green drool splashed on the floor next to the fallen cell phone. Eavin stood above them, practically paralyzed with anticipation. Hir mind reeled with tantalizing possibilities, so much so that it neglected to keep hir standing up. Shi was jarred back to reality when hir slack jaw connected with the floor. Hir exhaustion had evaporated in the wake of this new revelation of boundless potential.

Shi found hirself on hir feet and clutching the phone with only a vague recollection of the frenetic scrambling of limbs that got hir there. Some miracle of chance and circumstance led hir to press the right buttons to call hir contact back.

"Kevin! Kevin is that you?"

So unlike Lady Denna to sound overwhelmed... Eavin instinctively fell back on the casual tone that came to hir lips upon hearing the voice.

"Yes Denna? What can I do for you?"

"First, you can stop talking like a drag queen. And second you can get your ass down here right now! You've got to see this. I keep telling him to go to the hospital, but he insists on seeing you. Can you- hey wait a second, are you still there?"

From the other end, Lady Denna heard sounds akin to a phone clattering to the floor and the revving of a car engine. It appeared that help was on the way...

'Closed Until Further Notice'

Eavin recognized Lady Denna's authoritative writing instantly. The paper was hastily stuck to the inside of the door with a long strip of tape. Shi paid it no mind as shi swung the door open, the ringing bell heralding hir arrival. Shi actually had to squat a bit to get under the doorframe. Shi had learned a hard lesson about the nature of hir stance when shi ran out the door at home. Fortunately it was a quiet day and no one saw the tremendous green streak headed for hir car, or the rather irresponsible driving that took place soon after. Foot pedals were such obnoxious creations... But shi was here at last, and shi couldn't wait to see what the all fuss was about.

Shi felt just the slightest bit guilty about going on this adventure all on her own, but Kevin and Eva were beyond recovery. Shi had knocked the pair onto the floor trying to wake them, which was really nothing special considering that their combined weight was about that of a box of crackers. They'd had their fun, and no short amount of it at that. It was time for hir to reap the benefits of proper rest.

The door to the back room opened and Lady Denna leaned out briefly, saying:

"Come back tomorrow we're-"

The stunned expression on her black-lined face made her look like a very punk ghost in the split second before she slammed the door. Eavin tilted hir head in confusion for a moment and let out a gentle sigh.

"Oh, right... giant green rubber creature knocks at your door and waves hello; what kind of welcome do you expect?"

Shi quietly padded over to the door and trained hir ears on it, seeing what shi could pick out.

"-hallucination from the fumes or something. We need to get you to a hospital!"

"Why are you barring the door from a hallucination then?" That was Evan. His voice held an unusual combination of anxiety and excitement.

"I have no way of knowing what's really out there. It could be whatever is responsible for this little problem of yours. But likely as not it was just delirium. What I saw wasn't possible."

"Oh really? Before you saw it, I bet you thought that THIS wasn't possible!" Evan sounded like he was making some kind of dramatic reveal.

"Ugh, please don't make me look at that. I get your point."

"Hmph. I actually made you squeamish. Should've placed some bets before I pulled that one off."

"Hilarious. Now are we going to get you out of here while there's still time, or do you want to tough it out and die for science?"

"You're the one barring the door. I'm content to wait for Kevin. He knows this stuff inside out. Who knows? I could survive. We might even be able to fix this... somehow..."

Eavin took the silence as an opportunity to speak up.

"You know I'd be happy to help if you'd just let me in."

"Quiet you!" Came Lady Denna's voice, still commanding even when she was cornered. "You're not Kevin, you're not even human! Why should I trust you? Go on, explain yourself!"

Eavin leapt at the opportunity, but froze as shi began to speak. Hir mouth opened and closed soundlessly a few times as shi began to fully grasp the problem shi faced.

"Explain... myself. That... could take some time..." Shi managed to squeak. Shi thought of the cell phone that shi had dropped on the floor of the house. Even if Kevin could hear it he likely wouldn't wake. Not only that but he had no way of getting here thanks to hir, and Denna would likely have the same freaked out reaction to the new Kevin anyway. Looked like shi was really in this alone.

"If you can't even answer me, why should I let you in?"

Eavin had no answer to that. Fortunately hir human counterpart on the other side of the door did.

"Would you care to enumerate our other options?" Evan asked. "There's no other way out of here. Hospital, morgue, university lab, Pentagon research facility, McDonalds... no matter where we plan to go from here we have to go through that door! Likely the only person who can help me is two feet from you and you're just standing there shaking like a Chihuahua in a blizzard."

"The only thing that can help you is out there. I'm just not prepared to let it in here."

"You realize that door doesn't lock."

"I was kind of hoping that our guest wouldn't have reason to call my bluff, but thanks for that though."

Eavin heard a sigh. The door rattled as Lady Denna stopped leaning her weight against it. Her voice could be heard from a distance.

"Well, come on in. Obviously I'm not going to stop you."

The door creaked open and Eavin stooped through the doorway. Shi saw that Denna had seen fit to gather her whip and get a workbench in between herself and the beast. She no longer seemed defensive though, apparently having resigned herself to whatever fate had in store. Evan was standing near another workbench right beside the synthotron. Apparently his work had not gone well.

Several beakers and containers were upturned or broken. A small bowl was in the middle of the mess, seemingly untouched by the disaster. Evan was still wearing his lab coat, a number of shiny stains attesting to his recent research. His arms were crossed but fell to his sides as he surveyed his guest with open-mouthed wonderment. He still wore a thick protective glove over his left hand.

"A revelation..." He breathed. "I understand your reaction much better now, Denna."

"Lady Denna." Eavin corrected, taking advantage of the stunned silence.

The pair looked at each other briefly before returning their gaze to the creature before them.

"So," Eavin began, sounding as casual as shi could under the circumstances. "What seems to be the problem?"

At an obvious loss for words, Evan walked up to hir and extended his bare hand. He gave hir belly a tentative touch, and then a gentle rub. His fingers jerked at the tickling of hir fur. He withdrew his hand and looked at it as though he suspected it of deceiving him.

"So... You're real." He stated, more to himself than anyone. "You understand that I will have many... many questions, but I have a much higher priority at the moment."

"Yes, your problem." Shi responded, trying to sound comforting. "That's why I'm here. I think I can help."

"I pray that you can..."

With a deep air of foreboding, Evan removed the large Kevlar glove from his hand. Eavin did hir best not to let hir fear or shock show as his hand was revealed. In the space meant for his index and middle fingers there were only two bare sets of Carpal bones, dyed bright green by the agent that had stripped his flesh.

"My, my, what has science wrought..." Shi said, surveying the grizzly sight. Shi was reminded of how Kevin reacted to his exposed backbone. It was morbid, very deeply disturbing. To see your skeleton exposed was to look into the face of death. Shi was impressed that they had been maintaining their composure as well as they had in light of this. Not so much at her arrival, but then again that's a bit much to take in all at once...

"Yes, it appears that my digits have paid the proverbial price of progress." He said, looking forlornly at his maimed hand.

"All right. I'll help you, and do my best to answer your questions, but you've got to tell me how you came upon this little anatomy lesson."

"As you wish." Evan said, adopting a remarkably casual tone. "A few days ago a good friend of ours brought in a sample of a very interesting material. I wanted to-"

"I know all that, you can skip to the finger-melting part."

He exchanged a glance of suspicion with Denna, his tone was briefly colored by unease as he continued.

"Well, in the course of events my fingers got coated in a sample of the new material. Not an uncommon occurrence. I do love hands-on research. After all, the feel is arguably the most important part of the finished product. This time though, I couldn't get the stuff off. Usually body paint peels off in strips without too much effort. It's formulated to do just that. I took a gamble and left it on for awhile. Some mixes can be difficult to remove if they're not fully set, and drying times vary between brands."

Eavin was starting to wonder how such an expert could've gotten in so far over his head. He sounded very confident in his knowledge. Shi extended hir hand and Evan placed his inside it. Shi gently touched one of the bones and felt hir fur curl and snap at the contact. Shi yanked hir arm back as shi felt a searing pain in hir fingertip. Shi shook hir wrist violently to dislodge the agent. Shi looked at the bare spot on hir finger and turned back to Evan.

"I've never felt pain like that before." Shi said. "What's on there?"

Evan looked a bit sheepish as he responded.

"A last-ditch effort removal option for adhesives can be to just wait for dead skin to build up and peel it off with the sticky stuff. That was the plan, but it can be detrimental to leave certain kinds of paint on for long periods. I had no way to tell if this was such a variety.

It had been several hours and I was starting to lose feeling in those fingers. I kept trying to peel it up, even to the point of pain, but it wasn't going anywhere. I suppose I got a bit desperate." He indicated a glass bottle on the table covered in fine, industrial print. It was overturned, but tightly sealed. "That, is an aggressive enzyme derived from gastric protease. I use it to clean my instruments and equipment because it will dissolve just about any synthetic petroleum by-product. I picked it for this function because it's relatively easy on skin. It will eat through the epidermis after several minutes, but it would obliterate latex in seconds. I figured it was the safest bet."

"You used it to try and strip the paint off your fingers..."

"Yes, and like I said, obliterated in seconds. The pain was excruciating. I fell to the floor in shock. I thought I might've used acetone by mistake or something, but the burning stopped right at the edge of the paint. That ceramic mortar and pestle had fallen next to me. I had the presence of mind to grab the bowl and put it under my hand to keep the liquid from dripping on me and causing more harm. And the rest is history. The enzyme ate right through to my bones. The runoff that remained of my flesh sloughed off in a thin liquid. It's still over there on the table if you'd like to see it."

A thin green fluid filled the small vessel that Eavin was inspecting. It was a much more garish green than the one shi sported. Its smell was caustic, the twitch in hir nose warned hir to stay away from it. Shi dipped hir claws into the surface, withdrawing them as the tips rapidly dissolved away.

"I'd be careful. That stuff is probably pretty dangerous to someone... like you."

"Don't worry." Shi surveyed the rounded tips of hir claws. "I'd been meaning to get that done anyway. How do you wash off the enzyme?"

"Nothing to it really. It's soluble in water and doesn't react with metals, so it's really a matter of washing it down the drain and being done with it."

"Hmmm, clean off those bones. I'd hate to see you lose what little you've got left."

Evan nodded and walked over to the sink while the elephant in the room brooded over the bowl of acrid liquid. Ideas seemed to leap out from nowhere into hir mind. It appeared that the combination of the experiences of hir parents had given hir some significant insight into the inner workings of this phenomenon. Hopefully it wouldn't matter that those two experts were beyond reach now as they slept off their wild night. Shi gently manicured hir other set of claws as shi voiced hir thoughts.

"The paint has organic solvent qualities of its own. It must've reacted with the proteins in your skin while it was in contact. The burns on your fingers probably made your skin more porous, allowing the agent to bind better. That's why you couldn't get it off. As it penetrated deeper, the latex amyloid proteins and your cellular proteins became indistinguishable. In the end, the enzyme dissolved them both."

Evan returned from the sink, flicking some water off the green bones. Interesting that he could still move them a bit...

"Sounds plausible enough. No less believable than anything else that's happened in this lab recently. Any ideas on how to proceed?"

"Can this enzyme be separated from the latex solution?" Shi asked.

"Hmmm, that's a tall order. The enzyme doesn't form any chemical bonds during the reaction, but it's still rather difficult to distinguish from the rest of the solution. It is less dense and less viscous in suspension though. Perhaps I could mechanically separate them. I'll get to work on that."

He carefully poured the liquid into a test tube and capped it, walking off to another workbench.

"I wonder if-"

"How did you know?"

Denna forcefully interrupted Eavin's musing. She had traversed the distance between them without hir noticing.

"How did you know that he had been burned?" She asked. "We didn't tell anyone about that, and the only other person there was Ke-"

Eavin felt hir jaw roughly jerked towards Denna's face. There was a strong, penetrating look in those wide, brown eyes of hers. Eavin saw within them sudden realization as they briefly locked eyes of one another.

"You're Kevin."

Eavin smiled. Denna always was a sharp observer.

"There is a certain family resemblance I suppose. We are quite closely related. I hadn't planned on that staying a secret for very long."

"Is it time for you to start answering questions yet?" Denna asked, clearly exasperated.

"I'd prefer to get Evan's bones on the inside first, but yes I'll at least try to make sense of all this for you."

A click and a mechanical whirr preceded Evan's return.

"Well, I've set the stuff up for a round in the centrifuge, but the density gradient is slight and the mixture will thicken as it separates. It'll take some time."

"Well then," there was that classic Lady Denna smile. "It appears that you have the floor, Kevin."

Evan's eyes looked as if they were about to fall out of his head.

"Y-yes... Kevin, do tell."

"Yes, it does seem that we have time to kill." Eavin took a deep breath. "About a week ago, I got a package in the mail..."

And so Eavin recounted the story of how shi came to be. Mostly from Kevin's perspective, since that was who they thought shi was. Shi couldn't have asked for a better audience. Shi knew that they were still bursting with questions, but they knew that asking them would only slow hir down. Shi was a bit less graphic than shi could've been, a courtesy that was likely unnecessary considering the professions of hir audience.

"... She had become incredibly clingy by that point, in a literal sense I mean. Taking her off felt like I was skinning myself alive."

A beep and the sound of a motor winding down interrupted hir. Shi paused a moment, and fronted a question when there was no response from Evan.

"Aren't you going to go check on that?"

"Just the end of cycle signal. It's a bit early, I set it for forty-five minutes- oh! Nope, it's actually been forty-five minutes. Everything's fine. Continue."

Shi briefly raised an eyebrow at him. Evan's gaze soon drifted to his mangled hand.

"Oh... Right, right, I'll go have a look."

He returned shortly with the sample, now a much more familiar shade of green. He tilted it over the sink, allowing a layer of thin, clear liquid to drain off the top. The chemical smell was overwhelming as he washed it down the drain.

"There, I separated the two. It's a miracle. Now, you were saying?"

"Yes all right, you've made your priorities very clear. Actually, what was I saying?"

Denna piped up with a helpful reminder.

"You were talking about trying not to jizz in your pants during English 105."

"I don't think I phrased it quite like that... Anyway, I knew that I had to get out of there or things would get very awkward very rapidly..."

Eavin was glad for the resiliency of hir lungs and muscles as shi continued. A normal throat would've given out a long time ago.

"... It's hard to explain what happened that final night. We... stopped existing as ourselves and started existing as me. It was... well, just about as unbelievable and impossible as everything else before it. I thought that Kevin and Eva had stopped existing and thought that to be kind of a melancholy ending for them. It seemed almost the moment I thought that they were returning. I sort of... gave birth to them."

She waited for astonished gasps, but it would appear that shi has used up her audience's annual allotment of astonishment.

"The next morning I worked to master the subtle art of claw-dialing and got a plea for help from you. And now you know, the rest of the story." It was with noteworthy exhaustion that shi yielded the floor, hoping that she had glazed over yesterday's events well enough that they wouldn't ask the obvious question. Denna was first to speak.

"So, you formed from the combination of those two, and named yourself after Evan? Well that's damned inconvenient. This is going to get confusing in a hurry."

"No, it's an entomology of their names." Shi explained. "It's pronounced different. You know, I couldn't exactly predict that- Wait a second, that's your problem with all this? An impractical choice of name?"

"Well I can hardly question the validity of your claims now can I? If a human were telling me this I'd call them crazy, but since a she-wolf is telling me this... I guess that means I'm crazy."

"I'll have you know that a fox is proving that you're crazy. If you're going to go off the deep end you might as well have your facts straight. What about you Evan, anything to say for yourself?"

"What does one say at a time like this?" The spellbound chemist mused. "I... I have literally created a monster. Awesome. Honestly though, with my curiosity sated, I find my mind drifting back towards the 'getting my skin back' issue from earlier."

"Oh, yes right. Listen to me ramble while your insides are still on the outside. Let's get a look at that sample. Give me a drop."

Eavin uncapped the tube and carefully poured a drop of the sticky ichor onto hir hand. Though shi was prepared for the worst, shi felt nothing. She squished the droplet around a bit, still eliciting no response.

"Looks like I got all the wolfsbane out." Evan commented.

Eavin rolled hir eyes as she considered the sample. "Hmmm... It's very inert though. It looks the enzyme broke the proteins down. We need an agent to catalyze it in the other direction."

"An agent like polyisoevaline? I hope you don't mind if I tweaked the chemical name. Its structure actually incorporates an amide functional group so-"

"The name is fine, Evan. Would you care to fetch me some?"

"Naturally." He quickly returned with a freshly minted bottle. Eavin took a little taste under the pretense of quality control.

"Mmmmh..." The taste and texture of the latex nectar filled hir with a rush of exhilaration, and no shortage of fond memories. She quickly put the bottle down and got a grip on hirself. "Oh... some of your best work. No doubt."

"Glad I could appease such a discerning palate." Evan observed. "So, what did you have in mind?"

"We need to get the substrate material-"

"His fingers." Denna interjected.

"Right, we need to mix that with the catalyst."

"Polyevalicide, or whatever. You really need to think of a better name for that stuff, Evan."

"Don't think I haven't been trying." He lamented. "Although, the fact that it mutates people into shapely latex critters has given me a few ideas. I've never had to market something that turns people into rubber werewolves. Hey, lycanthropy! Latex lycanthropy. I could call it 'The LAYcanthropy potion!' It's catchy, right? Right... Yeah, yeah, not a wolf, I get it but 'vulpine' is such a hard word to work with... Maybe I could call it the 'Vulpex Elixir,' but I'm pretty sure that's too close to the name of a Pokemon for me to copyright..."

"The flesh of your hand is still in a test tube and you're spending your time trying to think up marketing strategies for this accidental mutagenic sludge you've made?" Eavin asked.

"That sums it up I suppose."

"Is he always like this?" Shi asked Denna.

"Yeah. It's kind of endearing though. There's one very special kind of crazy in there that all his great ideas come from. I try not to fight it, lest I stifle that font of creative brilliance."

"Charming. But to business then. Do you have anything that could mix these thoroughly?"

Shi got a blank look back from him.

"You're asking me if I have any equipment that can mix up liquid latex. Think about that question for a second."

Eavin glanced about at the Seussian menagerie of gear and machinery that surrounded them.

"Right, stupid question. Well, pick out the best contraption to mix a few ounces of this with a few ounces of that."

"Coming right up."

Soon the appropriate ingenious device was retrieved and loaded with the finger and liquid vixen mixture. When they were finished, Eavin took the bottle of 'tincture de vulpes' or whatever it was, and placed it on a high shelf. Far from standing on top of the eccentric latex-upholstered armchair to reach, shi simply stretched up and over it to place it aloft.

"I needed to put that someplace far away." Shi explained. "Too much of a temptation."

"Of course." Denna replied. Eyeing hir smooth strides as shi returned to the workbench. "A girl's gotta keep her figure."

Evan's 'desktop reciprocating sample agitator' was an interesting device to watch. It was fitted with a larger test tube and a camshaft that drove a bladed mixing rod up and down through the solution. It looked like it wouldn't be long before the potion was ready for whatever Eavin had in mind.

A simple question came to Evan's lips as they watched the device at work. "So, is my brain going to get eaten by a pack of liquid rubber wolves too?"

"I'm a fox. I told you that already. Do we have to go to a taxidermist and convince him that he's having some sort of bizarre dream to settle this?"

"Not really the area of concern in that question." He stated.

"Give me the vial, it looks ready."

Evan turned off the machine and carefully withdrew the mixing rod. He handed over the finished product for Eavin's inspection.

"Let me put your fears to rest, Evan. No, that probably won't happen."

"Uh, 'probably' isn't-"

"Look, you want your fingers back or not?"

"Yes ma'am."

"All right. Then hold still."

Shi dipped hir finger in and spread a bit of the syrupy concoction onto his bones. It readily wicked across the surface, working into the little crevices and gaps in his joints. Shi poured some more on and deftly began shaping it as it hardened. Shi didn't know quite where this particular talent had come from, but she restored the digits with remarkable finesse.

An interesting reaction occurred where the new flesh met the old. Red streaks ran up the newly formed skin, soon coloring its entire length. Eavin didn't let it stop hir work and finished molding their final shape. Evan flexed the finished digits, finding them supple and responsive.

"Not quite what I expected..."

"Me either. I was kind of hoping that the latex would mimic your flesh when the two came into contact, but the touch just turned it that interesting shade of cherry red."

"Stylish." Denna commented. "It's an improvement, if not a perfect one."

"You gave me claws." Evan observed. "You see this is exactly the kind of weird transmogrificational stuff that I was hoping to avoid."

"Sorry about that." Eavin replied. "Force of habit I guess."

"'Force of habit?' How often does particular situation this come up?" Denna asked.

"You'd be surprised."

"Brilliant." She stated, nonplussed. "I need to go... clear my head for a minute."

Lady Denna wandered off with a lack of purpose and direction very unlike her. Eavin could hardly blame her. Recent events had put them all a bit off-kilter. Evan sat on a stool also looking a bit ill at ease. He tentatively rubbed his new fingers a bit before he acknowledged Eavin.

"Sit with me, would you? I'm starting to feel as if I've been a poor host."

Eavin smiled at the novelty of a social nicety like that. They had been so consumed by their little crisis that such things had been largely forgotten. The stool was a bit of a chore for hir, but shi got hir legs in line eventually. Shi smiled when shi felt hir tail brush against the floor. Shi really had grown a bit hadn't shi? No wonder they seemed intimidated. Though there were certainly other factors at work.

"I neglected to thank you for being so accommodating." Evan began. "We're both a bit on edge and our behavior strikes me as a bit rude in hindsight."

Eavin gave a gentle laugh.

"I understand perfectly. You're on a much steeper learning curve than Kevin was, and even he had trouble swallowing all this at times. I don't think he really believed any of this was happening until a few days in."

"Part of me still doesn't," Evan admitted. "But that doesn't really matter. Real or not this has been a hell of a ride."

Eavin appreciated the sentiment, but could think of nothing to say in response. There was a short silence before Evan suddenly shook his head and looked away.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I do try to maintain proper eye contact. I consider it an important courtesy, but certain differences of... proportion, make it difficult to keep my focus."

Shi considered his words for a moment. She noted that shi had to tilt hir head down to make eye-contact and saw what he was getting at.

"You're saying that you're distracted because my boobs are at eye-level."

"That would be the quandary I face, yes."

"Such a gentleman, trying to keep to business under such circumstances. I'm not exactly helping I suppose. I could've dressed for the occasion."

"Or at all."

"Haste makes fools of us all, it seems. You could've asked me to cover up you know."

"It had occurred to me," he admitted. "But to be perfectly honest I really didn't want that to happen."

"How flattering."

"Oh my God, I really have lost control of my tongue haven't I?"

"Actually I think you're handling this rather well. Most wouldn't be so calm chatting up a werewolf."

"Neither would I. That's why I sat down with a Fox."

They shared a laugh that broke a lot of the tension. Evan found his hand on a furry shoulder as he bent forward. His impulse was to remove it, but he soon felt a gentle grip across his back. He couldn't help but lean in and rub a cheek into that magnanimous fur. It was so smooth and light. Warm too, heat wasn't a feeling that he often associated with fresh latex. He was reminded that there was a living being under there. The thought was quite comforting as the two shuffled up against each other a bit more.

Eavin hadn't realized how much shi missed the chance to hold someone close, even if it was just a new friend. It hadn't been long, but it still quieted a need within hir. Naturally, letting hir mind wander in that direction was rather risky. She slowly became aware of hir tail snaking its way up the legs of the stool. Shi managed to deter it from seeking out Evan, but it still had ambitions of its usual nature. Shi scooted forward a bit as it reached the rim of the stool, trying to keep it away from hir naughty bits.

The sliding of hir netherlips across the stool had quite the opposite effect. Shi recognized the squeak well. Latex? Was there nothing that wasn't covered with the stuff in here? Now a wet streak trailed back between hir legs and the tantalizing scent of hir heat wafted up from it. Hir tail likely would've cackled manically if it could. Shi tried not to worry. Surely a dull human nose couldn't pick out-

Evan gave a gentle grunt after a particularly deep breath before abruptly disentangling himself from Eavin's arm. He stammered and explanation from a few paces away.

"Uhm, yes. Thanks for the help and the company I'm feeling much better now. Maybe you should... go out front and see how Denna is doing."

Shi hid hir pout with a short sigh as shi stood.

"Yeah, she's been gone awhile..."

The vile thoughts that shi directed at hir tail didn't seem to deter it any. It bounced along happily as she walked. No doubt being followed by a pair of hungry eyes.

A rather disturbing sight met hir eyes in the front room. Lady Denna was hanging from a cantilever in the ceiling by a length of chain. A split second from panicking, shi saw Denna's head rise at hir approach. Shi noted that the chains were attached to a pair of gauntlets tied behind her back, not around her neck as shi feared.

"Ah, our guest." came a casual greeting. "My apologies for the compromising position. It's good for my back and it helps me think."

"Are you sure this isn't a bit extreme?"

"Well, I need all the help I can get to wrap my head around this."

"I can hardly blame you there. Um, how are you planning to get d-"

A quick swing of the leg inverted the suspended bondage display, allowing Denna to kick the chain off of its mount. She somehow kept enough momentum to get her feet under her before she got to the floor. There was a click and the chain and gauntlets clattered to the floor. Eavin's clapping was quite an interesting sound. The fur, latex and thick pawpads made every clap sound a little different.

"Why thank you. Used to be a magician's assistant you know. One of the hot girls that he cuts in half, turns into a flock of doves and the like."

"Sounds like fun. What prompted the change in scenery?"

"Hmmm, magic's no fun when you know all the tricks." She ran her leather-clad fingers through Eavin's hair. "Here's hoping I never figure you out, love."

Apparently a little mid-air meditation really did do her some good. Denna seemed much more herself, as her flirtatious mood testified.

"Now there's a wish I can grant. I can barely count all my tricks."

"I'm sure you've quite the resume." She observed, sounding businesslike as usual. "You know I've been wondering a few things..."

"Naturally, ask away. I'm surprised it's only a few."

"My good friend Kevin, is he still in there?"

"Not as such. He's a part of me. I have all his memories, and his personality is half of what composes mine. He doesn't exist as you knew him. He's... something more now." Hir thoughts drifted back to the two newborn foxes snuggling in the bedroom. Shi'd tell them eventually, but they'd had enough big news for one day. "Everything that he was has become a part of me."

"Something of a disturbing prospect, but I suppose it's romantic in a way. He really loved that mail-order bride of his. That much I could see in your eyes. That and the fact that you inherited those peepers from him as well."

"You really don't miss a beat do you? You understand this a lot better than you think you do, and now we're talking about it like it's no big deal."

"So it seems..." She stated. "I got all my freak-out cleared from my system early on there. Now that I've had a chance to step back I'm ready for just about anything. Strong as the instinct is, I find that panicking rarely helps a situation. Good or bad..."

"Your composure is comforting. I wish I had your restraint."

"Oh, make no mistake. There's a time to let all that inner fire loose. Choosing such a time is the real game." She looked Eavin over as she spoke. "So, if you're a combination of Kevin and his foxy girl-"

"I got both sets of naughty bits, yes."

"And you can read minds. Impressive. Doesn't having all those get... confusing? Overwhelming? Anything?"

"Oh I'd say that it does. Though I'd hardly call it a bad thing. Really the problem that I tend to run into is certain parts getting left out of the fun. I can only do so much you know, but finding creative solutions to that is half the fun."

Hir tail swished and rippled with an air of pride at hir statement. Shi realized with a start that they had been talking about sex for some time and shi hardly noticed. Denna really was a sneaky one. And shi would hardly call that a bad thing...

"I get the feeling that there's a lot of potential in you..." She observed, now standing remarkably close. Eavin noticed that her breathing had deepened considerably. "And I don't mean selling you in a bottle the way the boss man does."

"We're both full of surprises." Shi meant to continue hir line of thought, but an old question kept nagging at hir and shi couldn't help it. "I've got to ask. How did you get up there?"

Lady Denna withdrew with a stately whirl and wagged a finger.

"Sorry hon, that trick is going to stay a mystery."

My, she changed moods fast. Though Eavin was hardly in a position to pass judgment considering the flake that shi once was.

"Speaking of which," she continued. "I've got a few more kinks to work out of my shoulders, and my brain. Run along and play while I regain my focus."

"Best of luck."

Eavin turned to the back room with a heavy sigh, chains aggressively clanking behind hir. Shi had completely blown it with that one. These guys really needed to stop jerking hir around. The flustered twitching of hir tail suggested that it was in agreement. Shi found Evan sitting in his latex armchair looking contemplative. He looked up at hir approach.

"How fares our girl on the outside?"

"Quite well. Perfect in fact. You'd think that this was just another day at the office."

"Yes, well she's always in an elevated mood after a good hanging."

"She does that often?"

"Whenever there's a mental block to work across, or a special guest. Though in the second case it's usually not Denna that's hanging from the ceiling."

Well would you look at where his mind was... Shi was on a roll now.

"Looks like you've got a guest and a conundrum in one this time."

"And a man, and a woman, and a fox, and a human, and a life form, and a... homunculus of some sort... You're many things, Eavin." His chivalry apparently forgotten, his gaze drifted across the waist-level scenery before him. "A functional hermaphrodite... how does that work exactly?"

"You're about to find out..."

"Hm?"

"Nothing." So much for not coming on too strong...

Evan sighed heavily, apparently preoccupied. Eavin didn't even need to prompt him to talk about it.

"The way you tell it..." He began. "It sounds like my work forced... all of this," He gestured at her shapely form. "onto you. It sounded like the two of you had a good thing going and now you're all by yourself. And here I thought that 'polymer science' was one of few chemistry doctorates that didn't scream 'mad scientist'..."

"First of all, you made a great thing happen and for that I will always be grateful. Secondly, I don't necessarily have to stay all by myself..." She found hirself leaning forward, closing the distance between them.

"Yeah, you almost ended up with me a moment ago."

"Hmmm, almost. Thank God for your virtues."

"Thank God..."

Their lips touched at last; a gentle contact that began to draw them deeper and deeper together. Eavin moaned softly as Evan's lips parted, permitting the friendly advance of hir tongue. He suddenly broke the contact and pushed hir away, scrambling to his feet at the same time.

"No, I can't do this. You... you're not..."

Hir response was a desperate, pleading look and a sound that was halfway between a whine and a moan. He suddenly noticed where the awkward motion he used to stand had put his hand. The heel of his palm was pressed up against hir sheath, and his shining red fingers trailed down to the lips of hir femsex. Perhaps not the best place to apply pressure as a deterrent.

He relaxed his fingers, with the intent of removing his hand. The motion dragged his claws across the inside of hir netherlips, drawing another needful moan. Hir heat was palpable. Evan could see that shi was practically paralyzed by his touch, hir breath catching in hir throat at his every movement. He made one tiny concession, giving in to the impulse to dig deeper.

Eavin's arm suddenly yanked him towards hir, pressing their bodies together and leaving his questing fingers no place else to go. He felt hir hot breath cascading down his back as shi curled hir neck over his shoulder. The fluids from hir nethers tingled his rubberized fingers as he continued to work them inside of hir.

Finally realizing he was past the point of no return, Evan threw back his shoulders and withdrew his hand. The curt beginning of a growl jumped to Eavin's throat before shi saw him throwing his lab coat to the floor. Always one to offer a helping hand, shi sped the process with all necessary force.

Evan felt a large paw on his toes and found himself being lifted out of his shoes by his shirt. He slipped his arms up through his sleeves and fell from his shirt into Eavin's waiting arms. Shi tossed the forgotten garment to the side as shi lifted him up to meet hir lips. It couldn't have gone any smoother if they'd planned it. His hand went right back to work, craving the exhilarating touch of hir intimate fluids.

The stimulation made hir even more aggressive, squeezing him against hir body and pressing their lips together. His hand was quickly slicked up as he dug deeper and deeper, working as best he could to sate hir heat. The hypersensitivity of his altered fingers spread with the fluid. Evan didn't get the chance to wonder about it as a splash of cum covered him up to the wrist. Eavin broke the kiss to let loose a fevered groan of ecstasy and pull hir new friend even tighter.

Eavin couldn't remember the last time shi felt so helpless. Shi could hardly move for fear that shi would impede hir partner's efforts. Shi needed the touch of his latex flesh as much as life itself. Shi moaned and heaved as his claws flicked across a sensitive spot. The points were razor sharp just as hirs had been. The extra pressure seemed to amplify the sensation, particularly at the edges of hir labia. What? how did he have claws scraping about out there too?

Hir question was brushed aside as hir member's slick advance drove hir heat even higher. The slow rubbing as the desire rose between them was agonizing, but nowhere near so much as the pressure shi felt when hir knot reached hir sheath. Another unbidden whine snuck out as shi strained against hir own muscles. Shi felt human fingers tracing up hir sheath, a new potent invigoration coursing through hir.

"Hmmm... canine all the way down." Evan observed. "Fascinating."

He seemed to know just what shi needed, kneading the bulge in hir sheath until it burst out. Eavin panted urgently as hir member rose to its full potential. Shi pulled hir head back as shi found hir muscles becoming a bit more responsive. Evan had put a bit more space between them to get the angle he needed with his other hand. Eavin saw a patch of red through the gap between them. The color had spread to his wrist and showed no signs of slowing.

"My God," shi panted. "I'm... making you... Oh!"

The thought of what shi was doing to him drove hir over the edge, not that shi had far to go. Evan's fingers, now all clawed, kept at their task, greedily soaking in the fruits of their labor. Thin spindles of red snuck up his arm as Eavin's cum quickly vanished. His opposite hand began stroking hir length, making hir throw hir head back and howl with delight. It was so good shi felt guilty. Shi had been doing almost nothing to pay him back. The hardon shi could feel through his pants attested to the fact that he could use a little help. Time to find a better use for hir paws.

Shi found that his belt buckle was easily undone with a well-placed claw, and a severed button soon skittered across the floor. Shi readied for one more big effort to finally get him out of those pesky clothes. One set of claws dug deep into the waistband of his pants and underwear while the other arm lifted him out of them. Shi got the undressing part, but she had neglected the small detail of keeping them both upright. As Evan's clothes fell to the floor, so did they.

Much skittering of claws and a heavy thud soon had Eavin on hir back, pressed underneath Evan's relatively small weight. Shi looked down to see the top of his head pressed against hir chest. Was shi really that much taller than him? He had ended up on top by chance, but seemed keen to take advantage of his position. A bright red hand came up, it's color dulled by a thick coat of hir fluids. Its claws left trails of fire within hir chest as Evan raked them across hir. Shi felt him bump hir legs as he jockeyed for position. He seemed a bit hesitant, perhaps put off by the speed with which matters had progressed. Eavin felt a deep rumble in hir throat.

"Oh, Evan..." Shi poured all the lush shi could into hir tone. Not much of an effort really, this was what hir voice was made for. "Come on, I need you now."

Hir purring lasted but a fraction of a second more as shi felt him enter hir. Hir passage was slick and hot, begging to be filled. He easily found himself at the hilt. In the heat of the moment he barely noticed. Shi leaned up, hir chest coming to meet him and he eagerly embraced hir. The gentle brushing of hir fur was deviously teasing. He longed to feel hir flesh all over him.

His hips rose and fell, each time his member briefly escaped the battering of hir inner walls it begged for more. He thrust wildly for a moment before regaining a hold on himself. Eavin felt him leaning back and forth, changing his angle and thrusting hard at each different point. Before shi could finish making a quizzical expression, he hit the spot he was looking for.

Eavin's hips bounced up from the floor as shi bellowed hir pleasure. Claws, hand and foot, scrabbled across the tile as hir muscles seized beyond exertion. When the orgasm finally began to taper off, it was like shi could feel hirself falling from the blissful heights. Shi thudded against the floor, snapping hir back to reality.

"That... was your G-spot." Evan helpfully explained. "Judging from your reaction I'd say that it's new to you. Nice to have internal organs, isn't it?"

He had to laugh at the inarticulate gurgles that he got in response. He also seemed to have triggered something within his companion. An enticing smell, a mix of warmth and lust rose from hir chest. His smug victory speech forgotten, he couldn't stop himself from burying his face in hir breasts in search of the scent's source. He was soon inundated with the sounds of the inner workings of hir generous bust. He could feel hir breasts twitch and heave in time with the walls of hir passage around him. Shi desperately moaned when he gripped one with his claws. He could tell that the bountiful mounds needed some attention, and fast.

He saw a small trickle of fluid issuing from one of hir nipples when he came up for air. He was reminded of how dry his throat was from all the panting. Ever the gentleman, he leaned over and deftly licked it off. Far from solving the problem, he found a renewed stream wetting his tongue. Its taste reminded him of the feeling he got in his throat after a long night working in the fumes of his rubber products. It was just like that, mixed with a sweet tang and a beguiling agent that made him crave more even as he gulped it down. He switched from licking to sucking as Eavin switched from moaning to heaving in ecstasy once more.

His claws produced a similar reaction as they skittered across hir nipple next door. The tingling pressure in his hand as it was smeared with the fluid drove his rubbing and squeezing onward. The feeling was spreading up his arm, further energizing his efforts. The urge to bury his cock deep within hir resurfaced, easily done thanks to the river of cum that still soaked his nether regions.

He felt something cut loose within him at the apex of a particularly exuberant thrust. He froze at the hilt as a bevy of confusing and tantalizing sensations gripped him. There was a bizarre sliding sensation as Eavin's inner muscles worked on his length, followed by a tremendous increase in sensitivity. He pulled his head up to gasp for air as the urge to thrust returned once more. He heaved heavily, desperate to appease the gathering pressure inside him.

He felt tickling fur at his backside as hir tail threaded neatly between his legs. Sensation sparked through his groin as it swept up through to the heart of the action. It somehow knew just the right spot to press to relieve all that pressure. Another thrust found Evan's knot filling Eavin's entrance, sliding inside just as it first burst from his new sheath. Hir slit sealed around him as he bucked in the throes of climax. Eavin purred and groaned as the hot flood filled hir. Shi hadn't felt human cum in a long time. It was a nice bit of nostalgia, but shi couldn't shake what hir instincts told hir. There were improvements to be made...

"You always did know just how to break the ice, Evan."

He jumped at Lady Denna's voice from behind him. He pulled back, but found himself held fast, and the motion did little to... help the problem.

"Oh, please don't get up on my account. I just thought I'd drop in to see what all the noise was. Not that it didn't become obvious rather quickly. Quite the set of pipes your friend has."

The clicking of her stilettos indicated her movement around to their heads. Evan shared a meaningful look with his partner. Denna was maintaining that very characteristic malevolent playfulness about her. She seemed to see the awkward situation as a chance to have a little fun at their expense. Without either knowing what the other was planning, the pair silently agreed that they ought to teach her a lesson.

Eavin felt the touch of latex flesh encircle hir shaft. The increasingly bestial hand of hir new friend was smoothly stroking hir as their rhythm resumed. Hir muscles quickly fell back into line and shi was soon gripping his sides and rolling with his thrusts. He seemed intent on getting hir to climax, so shi didn't bother trying to control hirself. Just as shi felt the peak rising within hir, his grip slackened. It was as though he were waiting for something.

Shi heard Denna's taut leather garb creak as she knelt at hir head.

"Hmmm... Good to see that I didn't disturb the mood..." Apparently this was what Evan was waiting for. Eavin's knot burned with pressure as those sharp claws dug into its base. "I suppose I'd best leave you to your- Euagh!!"

Denna leapt up at a sudden splattering of bright green latex seed, unleashed by Evan's timely stimulation. Their gloating was brief, the undulations of laughter soon got the better of them in their state.

"Well, I'm glad that you find it so amusing." She wiped at the sticky mess, succeeding only in spreading it. "Though I suppose I walked right into that one. I'll write it off as an occupational hazard."

Her friends seemed to have quickly become far too enamored with each other to listen. She figured that she'd best get out of the line of fire quickly. The ooze was somehow sneaking through the tiniest gaps in her corset and other fine leathers. It produced an odd warming sensation where it touched her skin. She was far too distracted by its exotic properties as she walked away, neglecting its rather mundane ones; Like the fact that it was severely undermining her traction.

"OOF! Damn these heels!"

The offending shoes thunked against the opposite wall and clattered to the floor as Denna regained her footing. The grip of her fishnet stockings on the tile floor was a little better, but that only brought to her attention another gathering problem. Her legs felt weak from the soothing heat of the ooze. She knew it wasn't that warm in the room but she could feel herself starting to sweat. She managed a few steps, but each one caused the leather to bunch abominably around her sensitive parts. Her suit had always been tight, that was the point, but now she could hardly move without shaking with desire.

Her legs finally failed her when she found her hand drifting to her nether regions. Mercifully, her rear met the seat of that unusual latex armchair that Evan kept back here. She slid back in it as she rubbed at her leathers, now slick with fluid. She wasn't even sure what she was doing. Why was her corset so tight? She had to loosen it or she was going to suffocate. She pulled the slipknot out of the back and gasped for air before moaning in pleasure. She had opened just enough room for the taut leather to rub against her nipples with every breath.

Another distraction muscled its way to the foreground. The ooze had gotten to the skin of her crotch and was mixing with her own fluids, the feeling of the leather rubbing up against her netherlips was unbearable. How was the leather even touching her skin anyway? She pulled back the leather to find that the ooze had eaten right through her panties. Unfortunately, her fingers had gotten a bit too close to the action. On gentle brush and she soon couldn't stop fingering herself. This green goo felt even better on the inside, she couldn't remember the last time she had a climax build this fast.

Her thrashing legs bumped the back of the chair against the wall, rattling the shelves above. When she threw her head back to scream in pleasure a cascade of green body paint rained from above. It splashed into her mouth and ran down the front of her open corset as she rolled back and forth in the height of passion. The tide soon joined the pool forming at her crotch, lubricating her fingers even further.

She found that she suddenly had much more freedom to move her hand and wasted no time in exercising it. She looked down to see a rather unusual chemical reaction going on. Her cum had thoroughly mixed with Eavin's and the body paint. The resulting sludge was somehow very caustic, and was actively eating through the leather she was wearing. Her body reveled in the freedom as straps and buckles cut loose one by one.

She felt a shift in the slime on her skin. Something was different, other than the fact that the black color from her leathers and the chair was leaching into the mixture. It was growing. It gathered mass from the many sources it had available and was spreading out over her skin and the surface of the chair. The advancing black mass looked quite sinister, but seemed to be a master of misdirection.

There was a slurp and a sudden spike in pressure in her loins. It felt like every second since she last came had been a year. A touch to her chest found no corset in the way, her probing fingers discovered even greater sensitivity. The writhing mass of latex squelched around her as she was thrown into a whirlwind of bliss once more. Blackness covered her vision as she was consumed by the dripping mass of sensual goo.

Her second orgasm seemed to invigorate the activity of the sludge. More and more of the latex around her was liquefying and gathering on her skin, soon she was completely covered. Her head rocked to the side in a daze and her hand fell limply from her netherlips. She tried to blink the inky blackness out of her eyes, but the sludge was thick and heavy. Only her constant panting kept her airways clear of it.

Her body stiffened as she felt the thick fluid trickling inside her. She could only moan and shift slightly to the side in meek protest, but the flow only strengthened. The act of rubbing her nipples became even more pleasurable as the fluid soaked into them. They swelled slightly at the treatment, so Denna kept it up as best she could. It felt like it was all she had the energy for anyways.

She sat up when the flow into her entrance reached her deepest regions. Shuddering contractions pulled at her innards every few seconds. Sweet afterglow still hung over her, but whatever the ooze was doing was restoring her stamina somehow. She bristled at a hard pressure deep inside... and outside. The latex was hardening and constricting around her. Every light touch became overwhelming force. Every gentle prickle became a rush of sensation.

It wasn't long before her innards seized around the intrusion, adding her fluids to it once again. Strangely, she found her coating liquefying again, soaking in more material from the chair. Foam and wooden boards had started to stand out from it. There was hardly any latex left that hadn't adhered to her.

A surge of goo filled her womb. She thrashed in ecstasy as she was stretched by the sudden gout of latex.

"That felt a lot like a reward..." She observed in between pants. "So, it needs cum to stay liquid. Fortunately it seems I have some to spare."

She shuddered as the last of the latex gathered onto her skin. She had quite a thick coating now, but she was at a loss for what to do with it. It didn't take long for inspiration to strike. Another rivulet snaked up her ass, bringing with it that delightful boost in sensitivity. It pushed rhythmically, insistantly, against her, making her hips bounce. The message was clear. 'Stand up.'

She rose from the ruins of her chair, her fluid coating shifting and moving with her. She picked up on a scent that cut through the murky cloud coming from her sludge coat. It was warm and inviting, it suffused her with still greater need with every breath. She took a few steps out, following her nose. She felt a surge of goo up her passage that made her weak in the knees. The signal that she was going in the right direction, she guessed. Her steps thudded heavily as she made a few more shaky strides. Her legs didn't feel like they'd hold out much longer. It didn't matter though. She had a score to settle. She'd crawl if she had to.

Evan grunted as his knot finally slipped out, enjoying the contented sigh from his guest. He felt the odd, tingling pressure in his transformed flesh subside as the last of Eavin's fluids vanished. Well, that simply wouldn't do. Fortunately he knew the perfect way to get more, and offer some sincere gratitude in the process. Eavin moaned as he turned atop hir, hir throbbing member writhing in anticipation of what was to come.

A drop of precum leapt to Evan's nose as he turned hiself around and leaned down, the return of the transformative tingle invigorating him. He had meant to take it slow, until the shaft leapt into his mouth as he neared it. He could feel clawed hands pushing him down as the slick pole twisted and forced its way down his throat. Clearly Eavin was in no mood for this 'taking it slow' foolishness, and shi knew just the right way to get Kevin's head in the game. Evan's mouth widened in a gasp as he felt his member being welcomed into Eavin's maw. Shi pressed hir advantage and slid another inch of hir shaft down hir partner's throat. Emboldened by Eavin's reversal, the transforming human began sucking in earnest on the throbbing cock.

Shi jerked at the probing fingers parting hir netherlips, delighting in the ticking feel of the rapidly forming claws on his opposite hand. Hir jaws practically foamed with latex goo as shi pleasured his cock. Shi watched the fiery red spindles of transformed flesh dance across his body. She could feel the beginnings of a muzzle start to stretch down around hir cock. Watching him change made hir lust blaze even hotter.

The sudden withdrawal of the claws from hir netherlips was unbearable. Shi couldn't stand to be left high and dry like that at a time like this. It made the sudden rush of stimulation all the more overwhelming. A thick tendril penetrated hir, spreading viscous, hot ooze as it went. It dug deeper suddenly and shi felt a mouth up against hir entrance. Shi heaved and moaned and the stimulation even though shi couldn't make sense of it. Shi reached out with hir mind, hoping that Evan's brain was vixen enough to hear hir.

"What's going on?"

There was a pop as Evan's lengthening muzzle jutted out even further from his face as his languid response trickled back to hir.

"Oh it's nothing. You're just getting eaten out by the creature from the black lagoon."

"What? What are you-"

Hir concentration flagged as the tendril within hir began undulating in a deep and sensual rhythm. Shi began bucking hir hips in time with it, giving just the right push to Evan's new muzzle for him to take hir knot. His reward was a generous gout of cum right where he needed it. He soon figured out that he could get a little spurt whenever he wanted by simply clamping down a little. Eavin had to smile at his delighted moans as he took advantage of this new opportunity.

Shi tilted hir head to get a glimpse of the newcomer that was so masterfully manipulating hir nethers. Shi saw an indistinct mass of inky black sludge that had saturated hir tail and was dripping all over hir legs as it thrust and rubbed against hir groin. The rough shape of a woman could be made out. She was on all fours with her rear undulating through the air as though she were being aggressively pounded from behind.

It seemed as though the sludge beast did not wish to be observed though, as when Eavin's gaze lingered just a second too long, the tendril, likely the beast's tongue, leapt up to find that g-spot shi'd learned so much about recently. Hir eyes rolled back as shi felt that tremendous spike in pleasure that accompanied the heaving orgasm that followed. It was the injustice of a lifetime that shi could not scream in ecstasy, but shi just couldn't bring hirself to let go of that cock.

Long, deep contractions swept through hir as shi came down from the high. The muscles that had just expelled hir cum now worked every bit as hard to draw that black sludge deeper within hir. Shi fought the odd sensation, but hir body seemed to be operating of its own accord. The loss of control was starting to make hir feel uneasy. Hir misgivings intensified when the intimidating mass reached hir cervix.

Almost on cue, the male above hir shuddered, releasing gouts of rich seed down hir throat, vestiges of his fading humanity. The cloying bliss of absorbing human cum overwhelmed Eavin in an instant. Hir body relaxed into a near-trance. Her inner muscles now happily accommodating it, the sludge broke through into hir womb, prompting another explosive release on hir part. The gooey sludge seemed to thin out every time shi came, speeding its passage into hir deepest recesses and aiding it in finding hir most sensitive spots.

Hir sodden tail raised heavily up into the mass of goo, now quite formless from the effect of hir cum. It formed a crude ramp, concentrating the weight of the great black mass onto Eavin's swollen sex. Shi came again, barely having gotten over the last one, as the walls of hir womb stretched to allow for the advances of its new occupant.

Evan stretched his neck as the swelling belly beneath him began to lift him up. His ears drooped to the fore, he had long ago succumbed to the driving lust that his transformation wrought. He thought only of how to sustain the flow of seed from Eavin as the two burgeoning waves of red latex flesh from his head and groin finally began to meet in the middle.

Another tremendous surge of goo inside hir threw Eavin into a similar pleasured stupor, from which shi recovered only to cum explosively whenever the mass began to harden again. Shi was entirely at the creature's mercy. As the last of it soaked into hir fur or wicked up hir tail to trickle into hir now stained sex, shi realized that shi wouldn't have it any other way.

At last hir aching jaw gave way as hir consciousness faded away completely into a haze of satisfaction. Shi looked about the flat, empty plane. Shi remembered this place. It was where shi had first come to be. How was it that shi was here again? And where did this collar come from? Shi assembled hir hazy memories. Shi had gotten pretty friendly with Evan and then that sludge beast showed up. It seemed to know just exactly what shi wanted all the time, pleasuring hir in new and creative ways every moment. Likely shi had overexerted hirself and passed out. Again.

Just as shi was about to remark about what an uneventful dream this was, shi heard the click of stiletto heels advancing in hir direction. The leather-clad figure of Lady Denna approached with her signature swagger, a crimson bullwhip coiled in her hand. She extended a metal clasp from it. It was no whip, it was a leash!

A coy smile graced her lips as she made a simple request.

"Put this on for me, would you love?"

Shi was confused, but still found hirself reaching out and grasping the end of the leash. Such is the logic of dreams... Having the leash clasped onto hir collar felt strangely satisfying, as did the pleased smile of the woman holding the other end. Shi looked at hir expectantly, unsure of what to do next. Shi nodded to her pet.

"Sit."

"What? I'm not to do- ooohh..."

Shi felt a wave of tingling pleasure as hir legs bent obediently. The comforting sensation was torn from hir the moment that shi got a hold of hirself and stood back up. Almost immediately shit squatted back down, instinct demanding that shi seek out the beautiful feeling. The formless, mollifying pleasure made hir lose hir balance with the force it heaved upon hir. Shi steadied hirself by leaning on hir handpaws.

"Good."

That strange, ethereal pleasure became very focused and concrete upon hearing Denna's approval. Surging heat suddenly raged through hir aching loins. All that from simple encouragement. Was she... being conditioned?

"Down."

Hir trembling muscles couldn't help but flatten hir against the floor. It felt so warm and nice down here. All shi wanted was to stretch out and lay down for a moment. Would it feel this good to listen to all of Denna's words?

"Roll over."

Shi barely needed the prompt to heave with pleasure and throw hirself on hir back. Shi shuddered as shi felt that small, teasing rush of satisfaction. Shi whined as shi felt hot fluid leak from hir swollen netherlips, hir body anxious for its next instruction. Denna sported an even more sinister grin as shi knelt next to the enraptured vixen, bringing hir face-to-face with an authoritative tug on the leash.

"Beg."

Eavin gasped as hir body tensed with an all-consuming heat. Hir eyes widened at Denna's penetrating gaze.

"Please..." Shi stammered. "I... I need you."

Denna could not have looked more satisfied with hir subject.

"I will help you." She stated over the fox's pleading moans. "But you must do something for me first. I promise it is the smallest of things."

"What is it? Anything..."

"I find myself somewhat stuck in the middle as it were. I need you to make a choice." She whispered seductively in hir ear. "Either let me in, or let me out..."

Eavin let out another gasp on constrained pleasure. This one felt so much more real... because it was. Shi felt the soft and smooth skin of a reformed Evan up against hir. A gentle warmth kissed their embrace as he settled beneath hir arm. He was fast asleep, beyond exhaustion from his ordeal. It was plain to see why. Aside from the smooth skin and lack of a tail, his metamorphosis was essentially complete. Sure Eavin spied a few possible ways to accent the simple contours of his frame, but those were finishing touches best reserved for a later time.

Having appraised hir consort, Eavin's attention turned to hir own body. What shi could see of it anyway... Hir distended belly blocked much if hir view as shi looked down. Its girth was such that the new red fox bent a bit in the middle as he snuggled against hir. Denna's words echoed into hir ears. They had to mean something. Hir dreams were seldom without a message of one form or another.

Hir handpaw went to the bulging surface of hir belly and felt the gentle stirrings of its contents. Hir stomach heaved at the contact, the impression of Denna's presence becoming even stronger. So that's where she was trapped... And she needed to be let out, or further in somehow. Eavin couldn't fathom how she could possibly get any deeper inside of hir, but then again logic often fell to pieces when one attempted to apply it to hir.

Instinct always seemed to be what fueled hir body's actions. Perhaps shi could call on that instinct to help hir now. It shouldn't be too hard. Shi could just do what felt right. Almost responding to hir thoughts, she felt a lurch in hir loins, followed by a pleasant tingle as a trickle of thick fluid made its way though hir netherlips. So that was how she would get out. Simple enough.

Eavin thought of how much shi enjoyed this satisfied, stretched-belly feeling and how empty shi would feel if shi forced hir guest out. Immediately hir muscles clamped down, stanching the small trickle. Well, there was option one. Hopefully option two would present itself just as readily.

Hir tense muscles began to jitter as shi held back the flood of sludge within hir. Shi felt contractions work their way deeper and deeper inside, moaning as shi began to sense those first tantalizing seeds of pleasure burrow into hir nerves. Clearly shi was doing something right. Hir legs stretched across the floor as shi felt the first stirrings in hir sheath. My shi got swept away quite quickly didn't shi?

Shi felt a throbbing pressure and a lurching weight within hir entirely unrelated to the advance of hr member. Shi had awakened the beast it would seem. For the moment it appeared to have only the best of intentions, stroking and probing the walls of hir inflamed uterus, unlocking inconceivable waves of pleasure.

The surging heat that heralded the approach of hir climax astonished Eavin, but shi was swept away in it all the same. In the wake of hir sudden peak, a new sensation spread from the walls of hir gravid womb. It was cold and foreign, yet somehow electric and invigorating. Hir muscles squeezed as the sludge mix diffused into hir body. It was just the slightest bit disconcerting, but nothing bad could feel this good.

Apparently Eavin's body was making it quite clear how much shi was enjoying hirself. Shi began to notice gentle stirrings in hir partner, his nose twitching at hir scent. She thought to talk to him, but it appeared as though only some small, primitive part of him had awakened. Likely it was a part that he didn't even have before the pointy ears.

He seemed interested in tracking the new scent as he nuzzled his way across hir chest. He sought out a point just below hir right breast where the unfamiliar sensations that were coursing through hir seemed to be concentrating. It was very sensitive to the inquisitive touches of the half-conscious fox's muzzle. A few curious licks redoubled the sensation, making Eavin see stars for a moment.

Evan's gentle ministrations at the spot eventually led to a small swelling there, sensitivity spiking again as a new breast took root. Shi felt the sludge now coursing through hir veins gathering within the new addition, filling it out into an appreciable mound. Evan, still mostly asleep, turned his attentions to the other side, achieving similar results. A contented sigh could be heard as he took one last drag of hir beguiling scent and settled back into hir arms. Shi gently stroked the exhausted fox's back and cooed into his ear.

"Aww... poor baby. You just can't catch a break can you?"

Shi squeezed him a bit tighter than shi meant to as the changes gripped hir once more. Dark color rippled through hir limbs. Shi watched in fascination as hir claws acquired a rich, black sheen. The fluid continued to accumulate in hir breasts, eventually staining all four of hir nipples black. Hir womb pumped in earnest, compressing the mass again and again.

Strength surged through Eavin's body as the goo spread. Shi felt hir claws sliding outwards across the floor. Shi thought that shi had been splayed out as far as shi could go, but then shi noticed Eavin's head was getting further away. Shi let out a few guttural, inarticulate sounds as the growth spasms intensified. Shi panted as hir stomach flattened and the source of raw material finally dried up.

Hir thick, black shaft rubbed inquisitively up against Evan's thigh. Judging by the black goo sticking to hir legs, hir netherlips were likely stained as well. Even hir tail had picked up the sinister dark gloss of hir mysterious visitor. It swished about idly, sopping up whatever excess it could.

The spasms suddenly returned. Eavin could feel the sludge creeping up hir spine, firing off impulses as it climbed. The pleasure of transformation sparked through hir as the changes were cemented in place. Something snapped in hir mind as the tingling phantom embrace reached the top of hir spine. Hir jaw fell open and hir eyes rolled back. Hir lolling black tongue was considerably longer than shi remembered it being...

Shi clawed hir way back to consciousness to see Eavin's face wearing a strained expression. He was straddling over hir and shaking as though he was fighting a war within himself. He gasped when he saw hir eyes open.

"I'm sorry!" He squeaked. "I... I wanted to let you sleep, but they just wouldn't leave me a-alone!" Another strained gasp punctuated his statement.

They? Shi looked down to see hir black-stained tail wrapped around his shaft, expertly caressing his knot with its supple fur. Further back though, a more familiar green tail was tickling at his prone ass. They were hir tails all right. They sure as hell acted like it, and shi could feel them snaking up from hir spine, one on top of the other. Yet, shi had not control over either and could do nothing to spare Evan their assault.

Hir body responded in a lethargic and noncommittal fashion to hir attempts to move, as though the growth of hir limbs had made them more difficult to move. Evan shuddered as the twin tails coaxed him closer. Every time he budged the slightest inch they thrust and writhed, rewarding him, urging him to continue. They applied only the gentlest pressure downwards, but there might as well have been a cinderblock balanced on his waist.

"They want me-" He gasped through the teasing pleasure. "They want you inside me."

Eavin looked down to see that hir companion was indeed being maneuvered inexorably downward to a place right above hir throbbing cock. Shi cringed at the coercion that hir body was using, but shi felt a rush of heated anticipation at the thought. Shi desperately wanted to bury hir cock in his ass, and thanks to a few well placed touches of that tantalizing fur shi was but inches from doing so. Shi felt hir arms spring to life and a cloying purr escaped hir lips as shi caressed him.

"Don't worry dear. It's okay, I want this as much as you do." Hir voice sounded suddenly foreign, but still very sultry and feminine. It was plain to see that Evan was swayed by hir seductive tones.

"But... but I don't..." He stammered, finally looking at hir. "What? Brown eyes... Denna?"

"In the flesh, so to speak..." Her voice chided again. "Want to know how I did it? I prepared a demonstration..."

Evan's muscles shuddered and weakened still more as the tickling fur began to sneak into the rim of his anus. He whined as he inched ever closer, leaning into hir embrace. Shi smiled at his feeble resistance and naive uncertainty.

The green tail abruptly withdrew from his ass. He gasped and slid down, reflexively seeking out it's pleasing touch. He soon met the tip of Eavin's blackened member. Shi slackened hir grip on him, wanting to test how much his heart was in his resistance. Apparently he was committed enough to hesitate for about a second and a half before pushing himself down once more.

The throbbing shaft found its mark, Evan gasped suddenly as it spread his tight rim. The head finally slipped in and he jerked and spasmed in all directions except away from it. Calming strokes tricked down his neck as his lover's embrace returned. Denna's familiar voice brought him comfort in his uncertainty.

"Relax, dear. It won't be as bad as you're making it out to be." Another inch slowly slipped in as his tremors ceased. Hir shaft twitched and jerked, already desperate to drive deeper. Shi felt hot, thick pre start to pump from it as shi bucked hir hips reflexively. He black tail joined its familiar behind them in an unmistakable victory dance.

Eavin could feel the new presence within hir shifting about as the pleasure mounted. Shi knew that shi wasn't fully in control of hir efforts. Denna's influence might be guiding hir movements, or it could just be instinct running away with hir again. Once shi felt the powerful grip of Evan's muscles as he shuddered above hir once more, shi no longer cared.

Evan's resistance ebbed further and shi found purchase within him, both of them working their way into a gentle rhythm that soon had Evan sitting atop the herm's massive knot. They lay still to catch their breath as Evan adjusted to hir presence inside him. This was becoming an ordeal. Hir shaft had thickened in response to the black sludge's influence, most notably at the knot. Shi had no idea how he was going to take this, yet shi somehow felt confident that he would. So did he it would seem.

Shi felt Evan's hands finally leave the floor as he wrapped his arms around hir as best he could. His grip was loving, but above all, strong. He was hanging on for the ride of his life. Not being one to disappoint, Eavin drew hirself partway out, eliciting an anticipatory squeak from Evan. His luscious moan at being filled again let hir know that the time for polite discretion was over. Now was when the fun started.

Shi gripped his hips, hir long, powerful thrusts making the most of their slick latex flesh. The pleasure spiked each time hir knot reached Evan's cheeks and it soon became too much. Shi held him down as shi came explosively, hir knot pumping with the effort. Shi felt hir seed being rapidly absorbed into Evan's body and hir climax seemed only to motivate hir to knot him more.

Shi found hirself at an impassable barrier even as he ground earnestly against hir. Shi felt sweat beading in hir fur as shi thought of a way to relax him more. Perhaps that sweat held the key... Subtlety not being hir strong point, Eavin elected to grasp the back of Evan's head and bury his muzzle in hir breasts. Surprise couldn't even register on his face before his lungs were saturated with Eavin's spicy musk. His eyes fluttered and his ears drooped in its beguiling grip.

He collapsed heavily onto hir as his muscles gave in. Evain tensed as shi felt the barriers coming down. With Evan's weight lying heavily on top of hir, hir knot began to sink in almost of its own accord. Evan's head blearily rose from the four bountiful breasts beneath him as he felt himself being spread open, concentrating even more of his weight onto Eavin's knot. Shi felt hir inner muscles contract as the pressure became unbearable. With a final heroic effort shi buried hir knot into the smaller fox atop hir. Evan cried out as a second load filled him. He settled back onto hir chest, panting heavily as hir spurts slowed.

Evan's crotch felt slick with a thick fluid, apparently his companion had had a rather messy female orgasm as well. The black sludge was inordinately clingy, seeming to leap to his flesh wherever it neared it. He felt it pull a considerable mass up with it as it wicked onto his skin. Once on the edge of dozing, he leapt to awareness at the spikes of tingling sensation that came next. The sludge had brought with it a recently liberated fluffy black tail that was presently affixing to Evan's spine. Electric tingles rippled though him as the black sludge melded the fluffy length to his flesh. Eavin leaned back, enjoying his confused jittering as the slime did its work.

Shi felt a tickling touch that shi knew all too well against hir netherlips. Shi nearly laughed at the irony as Evan's tail entered hir without preamble. Its fur was quickly soaked in hir blackened fluids as it writhed and twisted so expertly within hir. She felt it hungrily absorbing hir tainted fluids as hir climax neared, fluids that hir body seemed all too eager to provide.

Shi could feel Denna's presence shifting in hir body, concentrating in hir still rhythmically pumping shaft and dripping netherlips. Hir already tender breasts surged with more black slime. Even hir mouth began to gently trickle the stuff. Denna was trying to escape, but not to just anywhere. Shi had a very specific destination in mind. Hir suspicions were confirmed as shi kissed him. Shi could feel the flow of fluid to hir partner through hir mouth. Something like greed flashed in his eyes as their tongues twined.

Eavin started to feel the foreign influence fading, hir tongue returning to its original proportions as Evan gulped down the goo. Shi felt his tongue snake further into hir maw, seeking out the last, luscious drops shi had to offer. Shi saw a broad, black tongue sliding through similarly stained fangs as Evan broke the kiss to pant and moan anew. He was still being pumped full of Eavin's seed and was soaking up as much sludge as he could with his tail. It was beginning to show. His belly bulged slightly and black fur bristled as it spread from the base of his tail.

The sodden length brushed up against just the right spot to coax the cum out of Eavin even faster as he tried out one of hir new breasts. The release from hir swollen mounds as his lips encircled one was exquisite. Hir claws scraped the tile floor as the sable sheen faded from them. Everything about hir seemed to dissolve into pleasure. Shi was cumming so hard and being pumped so aggressively that shi felt like shi was shrinking from the extreme release. Considering how shi attained this size in the first place, it seemed entirely possible.

Shi felt an added tickle as he drained the first breast and moved on to its neighbor. Fur was spreading from his blackened muzzle as well, still tinged red down his chin and neck. If shi looked closely shi could see the twin mounds of Evan's breasts starting to form as hir own flattened without the support of their bounty of sludge.

Evan reared up at the depletion of the second breast, nearly retching as the changes accelerated. The two spreading crops of fur met in the middle and joined together leaving him with a shining black coat. The only untouched red was in his pawpads and the soft fur of his neck and belly, where the two black points of his nipples protruded.

Evan admired the eye-catching contrast of his red-furred sheath and shining black shaft. Shi felt crestfallen as deeper changes shook hir companion. Despite all his activity, sensation was fading from hir depleted breasts and the near-constant pumping of hir shaft was drawing to a standstill. Denna's voice in hir mind was but a whisper as the fog of bliss cleared.

"I've been holding off his peak," she said. "That way he'd absorb all the sludge instead of spattering it back onto you. But since you've been so cooperative, I have a parting gift for you. I doubt I'd be able to stop him at this point anyway."

Evan's legs tensed and there was a pattering of fluid against Evain's thighs as hir companion's new slit gushed though its first orgasm. Not far behind was his long-denied shaft, spurting long jets of bright red seed across Eavin's chest. Shi felt a steamy heat soak into hir with the cum, triggering a blissful resurgence of hir new bust. Green and pert, they were now well and truly hers.

Shi saw that hungry look in Evan's eyes again as they gained a tinge of brown. The jet black nipples of hir original breasts were the next target of the newly christened herm. Eavin relaxed at the gentle satisfaction brought on by the sucking of the combination creature atop hir. Shi admired the devilish color scheme. Together with that smoldering seductive look, it evoked images of some sort of succubus, the perception seemed only to encourage the efforts of the growing fox.

Eavin's overworked knot finally slipped out as hir companion jostled for position on hir other breast. Though it had been through the wringer, its green color was plain to see as it retreated back to the safety of hir sheath. The troublesome black tail, too, released its death grip as its new owner savored hir meal. Eavin's loins relaxed pleasantly after their marathon workout.

Shi smiled at the coiled black spires that were beginning to peek out from hir familiar's head. Shi had been wondering where all that nourishment had been going. At this point shi knew better than to ask why a fox herm would be growing horns. Whatever their reason, they complimented hir devilish allure perfectly. They both purred deeply as they cuddled a moment. Even their tails twined affectionately.

"So, Lady Denna..." Shi began, as that was obviously who occupied the body before hir, the dominatrix' influence was completely gone from hir mind. "Did you find what you were looking for?

"Oh yes, quite so." Came hir confidant drawl. "I've got quite the new set of digs, with an amicable roommate to boot."

"So... Evan is-"

"Exactly where he wants to be. Under my control."

Connections suddenly flashed between hir hazy memories.

"Did... did you try to do that to me?"

"Oh yes, decidedly so." Was the near-enthusiastic reply. "Used up everything I knew but ended up with a handful of air." Shi smiled as though this fact amused hir. "You're very open-minded, but you've a will of iron and no desire to be under someone's thumb."

Right now Eavin felt like shi had a will made of nougat but shi said nothing.

"I've no wish to stay where I'm not wanted, so it seemed to be time for a change."

"Or quite a few..."

"Oh? And you've never gotten carried away?

Eavin smiled, shi knew hir too well already. Shi worried for hir other new acquaintance though. Shi voiced hir concern as the horned beast helped hir to hir feet.

"You'll let him go, won't you?"

"Well once I figure out how this whole body-sharing business works, yes. That matter could take a little getting used to you know. If I know Evan he will soon tire of the novelty and ask for the reigns back, but until then he couldn't be enjoying himself more."

"Sounds good to me." Shi said, appraising the fruits of hir labor. "So... what to call you..."

"Well, if your grade-school phonetics are any precedent... Deanna..."

"Actually I like that, Deanna. But what of the honorific? Surely you would be at least a baroness by now, duchess perhaps?"

"You don't need a title for intrigue when you look like this, honey."

Deanna swayed hir hips expertly, accentuated by a proud sweep of hir tail. Eavin was glad to see hir enjoying hirself so thoroughly. Shi watched as hir tail upset a piece of paper that fluttered to the floor. Deanna recognized hir handwriting.

"The sign I put up..." Shi said, drawing a sheepish smile from Eavin. "But that means-"

They both looked up at the sound of a jangling bell at the door. They exchanged one slow, knowing, leer.

"Customers..."

The End
