The Game v2.0 - Round 9

Pizza on a first date.

Not exactly the classiest cuisine but David convinced himself this was not a date. It was just a 'getting to know you' session. Still, as he sat across from Aiden on a small table in a quiet restaurant, he could not help but take notice of Aiden's constant fidgeting. He could almost read what the young, very hot young footballer was thinking just by tracing the line of his vision.

Aiden's eyes followed a waiter before dipping down towards table and towards David's crotch... What would happen if a waiter tripped and ducked under the table and got a full view of his unusually large package? What if they spilled something on his crotch and the outline of his equine cocks came into full view? What if Aiden said something really flirtatious, got him aroused and all three horse cocks came bursting out of those tight-fitting jeans?

It was cute and very flattering that someone would go to such lengths to try and make a date go so well.

No... Not a date, this was a 'getting to know you' session. A GTKYS. Yes.

"Yes," Aiden said calmly.

"Pardon?" David asked, raising an eyebrow, wondering at how their thoughts just seemed to coincide.

Aiden blinked a couple of times and shook his head furiously. "What? No! I mean... I don't know." He sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead. "Sorry, it's just... Sometimes, I get a little neurotic and I have these little conversations in my head. Sometimes... they spill out into reality. It's kind of why I always tend to keep silent. I don't want my inner monologues getting heard."

A deep blush touched his cheeks and he ducked his head, covering it with both hands with the hope he could hide from David's sight. "Shit... You probably think I'm insane now..."

"No more than the average person," David answered with a hearty laugh. "And definitely not as much as what we've been going through recently." He wrung his hands together over the red and white chequered table. "It's all pretty surreal, isn't it?"

"Yeah," came Aiden's soft answer. His eyes were cast down. David wasn't sure what was so fascinating about the tablecloth. "Do you think it'll ever end?"

"Shaun seems pretty close to his finish as does Ben. Who knows?" David shrugged absently.

"Do you want it to end?"

Before they could reply, the waiter arrived with their pizza for which David was very grateful.

"A medium meat lovers for you," said the waiter. He set down a medium pizza in front of Aiden. "And a small vegetarian for you. Your drinks are coming right up."

Aiden watched the waiter go and his jaw dropped. "I think I know that guy!"

"Another man you dated?" asked David, a wry smile on his face. His heart had leapt to his throat the moment he had uttered those words, pounding hard in his ears. Did he really want Aiden? Wasn't the age gap between them a little extreme? How old was he anyway? He barely even knew the guy!

But wasn't that what this session was for?

A GTKYS.

"What? No! He's like..." Aiden frowned. "I don't know what he is. But I have to make sure."

When their drinks arrived, he looked directly at the waiter's eyes... or at least as much as he could. Silver wrap around glasses blocked his view.

"Jacob?"

A single eyebrow rose quickly followed by a charming smile. "Aiden Walker. Fancy meeting you here."

The pounding in David's heart eased. It was a greeting between friends. He could tell by this 'Jacob's' stance. There was no interest in Aiden beyond two friends meeting. Maybe it was also in the smile he gave. It was calm, gentle, innocent.

"This is where you work?" Aiden asked, looking around the pizzeria. "I've never seen you here before and I usually come here a lot."

"I tend to blend in and get unnoticed until I'm really needed," answered the waiter with a shrug. "I tend to juggle a lot of jobs here and there."

"Student debts?"

"No. Just waiting." Leaving with that mysterious answer, Jacob turned towards David, extending a hand out. "Hi. I'm Jacob. Pleasure to meet you."

David shook the offered hand with a firm grip. Jacob's own handshake was firm but the contact of their flesh... it just seemed...off. Like he wasn't shaking the hand right. "A pleasure to meet you too. How do you know Aiden? Same team?"

Jacob chuckled softly. "One could say." He hiked a thumb at Aiden. "We engaged in a rather philosophical debate not too long ago after that rather freakish storm. Then he hit on me."

Aiden instantly went rigid and stuttered an excuse but David merely laughed it off and smiled at Jacob, shamelessly appraising him.

"I must admit, I can see where he's coming from. Lose the glasses and why don't you join us?"

The waiter smiled at the offer and gave an apologetic shake of his head. "Unfortunately, I am on duty. Maybe after I'm off shift. Though if I may offer some helpful advice?"

David shrugged. "Sure."

Jacob reached into his pocket and retrieved a fortune cookie that had already been opened. He read, "'Your greatest fortune will come when you look at the least likely place.'" He shrugged and placed the cookie on the table. "That really doesn't apply to me at this moment so I'm hoping it's appropriate to you. It also says your lucky numbers are 12, 5, 46, 93 and 1. Have a nice meal."

Those numbers felt strangely familiar...

Jacob turned on his heel and marched towards the next table, whistling a nameless tune.

"What a strange guy..." David said, shaking his head.

"You're telling me," Aiden responded. "Did you really want to go home with him?"

Shaking his head, David said, "Of course not. He's cute and all but there's just something... off about him." He shuddered. "Did you feel that? The moment he left, it's like the world seemed... more normal." They both eyed Jacob as he took another table's orders. "He just feels so... out of place." David regarded Aiden with one eyebrow raise. "Why, were you?"

Aiden furiously shook his head, making the older man laugh heartily.

"You know a hell of a lot about me," David said suddenly. "Still can't believe I basically spilled my guts out to you the first time we met. So tell me about you. What're your dreams for the future?"

Offering a slightly embarrassed smile, Aiden said, "My dad was actually in the navy."

"A military boy, huh?" David picked up his soda and sipped it casually, one arm draped over the back of his chair. "Where is he now?"

"Serving an admiral. Has his own ship and everything. He's gone most of the time but when he comes home, he tries to cram in years of father-son bonding into the few months he has off. Good guy but I don't he was ever meant to be a dad."

"Why do you say that?"

Aiden fidgeted a little more. Doubt began creeping into David's mind. The more this young man revealed about his past, the more an image began to form in his head. He couldn't help but bring his police training into the fray and his mind was screaming danger. Not in the way that Aiden was a mass murderer in disguise

It just seemed like a bad idea and he only ever had this feeling once before in his life; when he slept with his wife without protection.

"I don't know," Aiden responded at length. "I think... I think my dad was never one to really sit down and settle. He's a soldier through and through and everyone and everything to him has to adhere to his strict rules. When he tries to soften up, he just ends up being harder than before."

David chuckled softly, trying desperately to hide his grin. "I could very easily corrupt that, but I won't."

"Thanks," answered Aiden with a wry smile. "But in really, my dad... He wasn't a dad. He was always more like an uncle in the military. Someone who dropped by every now and then, we did something he thought I liked and then we was off again."

For a long moment, David regarded his glass of soda before setting it back down. He picked up a slice of his pizza and began to nibble on it lightly. "I thought you had other brothers and sisters. How did he treat them?"

"Same as he treated me, really. Okay maybe not. I'm the middle child of his biological brood so I didn't get as much attention as my other siblings. A few weeks here and there then he was gone. I've lived with my mom most of my life and she fought really hard to raise five kids by herself."

David's eyebrows rose and he nearly choked on his food. "What? She raised five kids by herself?"

Aiden tried to hide a wince in his response. "Being a full-time mom wouldn't pay the bills and even my father's childcare payments wouldn't cover it. So, she decided to make being a mom as her job." He smiled, finding pride in his mother's actions. "She set up our home to a day-care centre. People paid her to look after their kids and the rest of us helped when we could."

"Your father was an emotionally distant man and yet you have four biological brothers and sisters? How did that work?"

He bobbed his head from side to side, letting out a faint grimace. "Sex. Lots of it. When my father came home, my parents did it... a lot_._" Laughing nervously, he said, "After the fourth kid, I think they decided enough was enough but had one last go for 'old time's sake' and then out came the fifth kid."

Aiden grew wistful as he began to devour his pizza slowly.

David's apprehension only grew. This was starting to feel more and more like that time he damned himself for what seemed like an eternity. He didn't regret having Ben - he never could - and in some way, he loved his wife too but a life could not exist on love alone. As he looked at Aiden, he saw the same doe-eyed, hopeful expression that his wife bore and it made him ill.

This was not a good idea.

His pizza half-finished, David picked up his soda and drained it. "You never answer my question though. Are you planning to be in the navy too?"

Shaking his head, Aiden said, "Nah. It'd just be all kinds of awkward if I end up ramming into my dad. I'm taking a business degree. I'm thinking that if and when Shaun decides to open up his gym, he'll need someone to actually look after his business while he's out on the floor pumping iron with his boyfriend." He grinned sheepishly to himself. "And maybe I'd use some of the money to launch my music career but that's just on the side."

"I hear you're not too bad with a guitar." David leaned back in his chair, smiling brightly to try and hide his fears. "Why not make music your primary career instead of going for what you think the world needs? I made that mistake before."

"The world doesn't need another musician," Aiden answered with a roll of his eyes. "Besides, business is always a good place to start."

Yes... It was the same. Almost exactly the same. His ex-wife was a settler. She adjusted to the needs of the world instead of pursuing her own dreams. It was that same acceptance of fate that dragged David into the deep end and had him blamed for the entire mess. He didn't want that to happen again.

Aiden blinked several times as the older man pulled out his wallet and dropped about fifty dollars' worth of notes on the table.

"Huh?"

"This isn't going to work, Aiden," David said, rising out of his seat and offering him a sad smile. "Have a good night."

"Wait. What?"

Confused and actually a little heartbroken, Aiden sprang to his feet and hurriedly followed David out of the pizzeria. He tried to catch up but David was taller, walking at a bisque pace and had stronger legs. Aiden only managed to catch up to him when it began to rain and David too a moment to look at the clouds in wonder.

"Hang on!" Aiden demanded, seizing David's shoulder. "What was that in there? What do you mean this won't work?"

The look on the cop's face spoke of a torn man but one who thought he was doing the right thing. "Aiden, you've clearly got daddy and attention issues."

Aiden looked torn between being insulted or just confused. "What?"

Rubbing his temples, David said, "Son, I've been a cop a while now and trust me, I've seen a lot of people. I know this sounds clichéd but I've seen a lot of guys just like you who fall into the wrong crowd because deep down, they crave the attention of their fathers. At the same time, just like you, there are high achievers and squeaky-clean guys who are so lawful they might as well be life-sized action figures, all looks and no personality. And do you know what sends them down that path?"

Unable to answer, Aiden could only shake his head.

"It's getting the wrong kind of attention." David shook his head sadly. "Listen to me, kid, you're looking for someone to acknowledge you, maybe love you. I get that. But you don't want that from me."

"Why not?" Aiden protested. The desperation in his eyes broke David's heart.

David winced and shook his head. "See? That right there. That's the sign." He pointed at himself. "You may not know it yourself but when it boils down to it, all you really want is for that special someone to replace the father you never had. And me... Well, look at me. I'm candidate number one right now."

"And what's wrong with that?" Aiden murmured softly.

"You already know the answer."

And with those words, David turned around and disappeared into the rain. He wasn't sure if he was crying or not but it sure felt like it. He could see the potential in a relationship with Aiden and fuck if he didn't want to lay in bed with that hot piece of meat. But it was exactly that kind of thinking that led him to years of living in a black and white world with the only light being his son and he sincerely doubted he was about to have a son with Aiden.

It would be thirty minutes of bliss and then thirty years of restless nights worrying about finances and a future that could never be.

"I hope you find your love, Aiden... but for the right reasons."

His eyes cast to the ground and his mind in the distance, David didn't watch where he was going and bumped into someone dressed in a thick trench coat.

"Sorry, man," he mumbled, still very distracted.

Strangely, the man did not react and merely stared at him from underneath a deep, dark hood. It was impossible to see the eyes of the man beneath that hood but he thought he saw only one eye...?

"Do not stop playing the Game," said the man in a menacing tone.

David took a step back, frowning deeply. "What? Who...?"

The man looked past David and he seemed suddenly very agitated. "Never stop playing the Game. Not until you finish. X marks the spot."

With that, the man spun around and fled with hasty steps into the rain. Before David could cry out for him, another voice made him turn around.

"Who was that?"

Jacob approached, an umbrella over his head and those strange, silver glasses still over his eyes despite the time of day. David brushed aside this surprise and returned to the first, turning back around. However, the strange man in the trench coat was gone.

"I have no idea..." he said, turning back around. "Um... What can I do for you, son?"

"You left your fortune cookie," answered Jacob, handing him the little cracker.

Staring at the fortune that lay between the cracked pieces of biscuit, David couldn't help but laugh. "'Your greatest fortune will come when you look at the least likely place,' huh?" He closed his hand around the fortune and shook it mildly. "You're not looking for anyone?"

"I am," answered the young man. "Everyone's looking for something whether they know it or not. It just so happens that fortune implies that I'm only looking for the 'greatest' fortune."

"What's wrong with that?"

Grinning brightly, Jacob said, "There's so many more things to look forward to in life than just the 'greatest fortune'. If you're impatient to get to the end, you'll miss out on everything else in between. Life is made of mistakes, wrong turns, tiny victories and great wins. It would be very boring otherwise."

David chuckled softly and tucked the fortune into his pocket. "You're pretty wise for a teenager."

"I'm just very in-tune with the world."

"Right..."

Jacob lifted his umbrella a little higher to accommodate David and the latter willingly accepted the shelter from the rain.

"Tell me something," David began as they walked. "How do you view making the same mistake twice?"

"Impossible."

"What?"

"To make the same mistake twice would be to imply that you walked down exactly the same road, with exactly the same mindset and perhaps with exactly the same people. The only way to do that would be to reverse time, give everyone concussions to induce amnesia so they don't remember having gone down that road before and then perform plastic surgery on them so that they look exactly the same as they did." Jacob rubbed his chin. "Huh... That's actually an interesting experiment. I've got a baseball bat back at home..."

David rolled his eyes. "You know what I mean... If the situation was similar to a path that you made the mistake?"

"Does anyone have amnesia?"

"No. No amnesia."

"How about any form of clinical disorder that removes their memory for that particular event?"

"No. They're perfectly normal." Though David doubted he'd refer to their situation as 'normal'.

"Impossible," came the short reply.

"What? How...?"

"Because at least one person will know how that path ends."

Glad to finally have a straight answer, David said, "So the parties involved shouldn't take that path?"

Jacob's smile indicated he had planned the conversation and they ended up exactly where he wanted. "I never said that."

"But -"

"At least one person knows where the path will ends so that same person can steer the path; to make sure the mistakes made are not made again. I mean, if you stuck to the road, there must've at least been some good things happening during that time, right? If that's the case, it wasn't a mistake but more like... a near miss. Wouldn't you like to have a second crack at that path?"

David's own words came back to haunt him. He entered the Game looking for a second chance. Was he going to use that chance to completely avoid his previous life or correct it? Didn't he come here to Ben so that he could make that start by correcting old mistakes?

"And if the path itself is a mistake?"

Jacob suddenly placed himself in front of David, smiling brightly. "Are you telling me that the road you left behind is all bad and there isn't something about it that you don't regret?"

David frowned and resisted the urge to glance over his shoulder, to the path he left behind. Was he so busy trying to look at his past, trying to live out the experiences that he had missed out on that he had forgotten the good times that he wouldn't trade for the world?

"Are you saying that we should repeat those mistakes just for the good times?"

"I never said that either." Jacob patted his shoulder and began walking back down the path, leaving David in the rain. "All I'm saying is that don't go turning a path into something you've experienced before. Second chances don't happen very often and the last thing we want is regret holding us down."

Only when Jacob folded the umbrella several feet away did David realise it had stopped raining. He glanced up at the sky, finding a break in the clouds to reveal the starry night sky. He was still conflicted about what to do... He was still at a crossroads.

"Wait!"

He ran up to Jacob, seizing the young waiter's shoulder and turning him around. In desperation, he said, "Okay... Honesty time. There was a path I took. It's taking me away from what I thought would be something like a previous bad experience. What should I do? Should I take it or not?"

Raising an eyebrow, Jacob said, "Do you want to take it? Isn't it too late to go back?"

"That's the thing... I don't know... What you said, it makes sense. The other path... It's not the same but I'm still afraid that it might end up exactly the same. I don't want to go through that again."

"I'm... a little confused," admitted the waiter. "So you're telling me there was this one path that you thought would end up like one you took before that ended badly. So, by virtue of elimination, you took the other path and now you're having second thoughts?"

"Yes."

Jacob seemed to mull it over for a few moments before he reached into his pocket and fished out a quarter. "Okay, heads says you want to take it and tails says you don't."

"You're leaving my entire destiny to the flip of a coin?" David asked incredulously.

"I can't tell you what you want or not. If you're asking a complete stranger, why not use a coin?"

Fair enough... in a strange sort of way.

Jacob tossed the coin into the air and David held his breath as he watched it flip over and over and over and over again...

... until it landed on Jacob's palm... head side.

"I guess you do," Jacob said with affirmation, turning around.

The protests came flushing out immediately. "But this isn't the same! I've grown stronger since then! I've got support, he's sweet, adorable in his own clumsy way and goddamn hot!"

Without turning around, Jacob waved a hand over his shoulder as he said, "Then there's your answer!"

It took David a moment to realise he had just been tricked. Before he could shout any more, the crushing realisation of what that waiter had just told him came down on him like a tonne of bricks.

This path was different and he had learned from it. This wasn't an opportunity to make the same mistakes. It was a chance to correct those mistakes and get the perfect ending he wanted. His time with his ex-wife had produced great things, one of them being Ben. His opportunity with Aiden had been ruined because of his paranoia of starting the same path again but would that be so bad?

Maybe if he had slept with his wife with protection, things would have turned out much better.

If their careers had evolved further, maybe they'd have been more financially stable and he wouldn't have had to stress so much.

A lot of near misses... but so close to perfection.

He just had to make sure that when a path presented itself, he didn't get paralysed by fear and take the plunge to fix the issues and not just avoid them entirely.

Grinning broadly, he cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted, "You're fucking evil, you know that!?"

He heard Jacob's laugh and the reply, "I've been called worse!"

"How do I go back? Can I go back?"

Jacob spun around, pulling his sunglasses off and revealing bright, sapphire-blue eyes. "Easy! Make your own path!"

*****

When dawn finally came, David brought some coffee into the lounge room where Tony and his pride slumbered. Breakfast was already sitting on the kitchen counter for everyone, including those who had slept in the apartment next door. He woke the pride and directed them to the kitchen. It wasn't long before a knock on the door heralded Ben, Shaun and Aiden's arrival.

His son looked simply far too big for his clothes and the hems of the borrowed shirt he wore were actually a little torn. Shaun clung to him lovingly however and Aiden regarded them jealously, his eyes desperately trying to avoid David's.

That, he could understand.

David understood that, chances were, he probably blew his chances with Aiden but that was a lesson learned, a short path taken but one he could certainly learn from. Time was constantly moving forward and there was no way he could take the same path again. That didn't stop him from thinking looking out for future prospects, though.

"Good morning," he said. "Breakfast is ready. After you're ready, we'll head off."

As Aiden shuffled past, he reached down and squeezed his rump. Aiden jumped and gave him a horrified look before quickly turning to the kitchen in a hurry.

When breakfast was finished, the dishes all cleaned up and ready, they headed downstairs with some essentials and supplies. Along with David's and Shaun's car, they were able to quickly pack everything and begin their trek into the mountains. The Pride rode with David while Shaun, Aiden and Ben rode together.

It was silent drive out of the city and into the verdant forests of the mountains. When the road grew bumpy, David knew they were getting close. Four hours after they had left, the forests gave way to a grassy clearing where a two storey, wooden cabin sat complete with garage and from all appearances, a backdoor Jacuzzi. David was pretty sure this was a summer home and not a hunting cabin but he didn't voice his concerns as they unpacked.

The cabin was quite lavishly decorated and a pang of jealousy hit David as he saw the leather couches and the big screen TV mounted on the wall wide enough for him and Ben to stand side by side with their arms outstretched and still barely grip the edges. They quickly got settled in, with four of the six rooms being allocated to each of the groups - Shaun and Ben in one, the Pride in the largest and Aiden and David in their own.

Much exploration was done and David shook his head in disbelief at the vastness of the home. There was even a bomb shelter buried in the basement! He wished he could make such money. When he looked at the pictures hanging all over the place, he found himself smiling wistfully at the images of Aiden standing next to his father. As the young man stated, there was a clear distance between father and son. The smiles were always forced and there was at least a few inches of distance between each of them. They never touched.

It was a little sad.

"That's the day we went fishing and didn't come back with a single bite." Aiden stood a few feet behind him, looking forlorn. "He tried to encourage me that it as just a bad day but it always sounded so hollow." He shook his head sadly. "Fuck... I do have daddy issues, don't I?"

"Little bit," chuckled David.

Aiden then fixed a piercing stare at him. "Okay, fine. But what was that thing back at your apartment? Why'd you squeeze my ass? I thought we weren't going to try this?"

David shrugged. "I had a chat with your friend Jacob. We've both got our issues to sort out. You with your need for a father and me... Well, I've got to stop being so hung up with my past. But I don't want to close the door on us just yet." He held out his hand in a friendly handshake. "Who knows what the future will hold, right? For now, friends?"

The surprise on Aiden's face was expected. After all, they did just have a downer of a date and -

"You spoke with Jacob?" he asked. "I spoke with him too. Right after we left the pizzeria. He... He talked me through my issues with my father." Aiden shrugged with a faint wince. "Kind of why I finally admitted it to myself just now..."

David frowned and shook his head. "Who is he?"

"I don't know... But I don't think he wants to hurt us."

Before they could continue their conversation, Tony's shout came from upstairs. "The Game is ready! It's go time!"

David lowered his hand, turning for the stairs. "Guess it's time, huh?"

"Yeah... But there's still some time for this." Aiden grasped his shoulder and spun him around. Then, he pressed their bodies together in a very manly embrace. Made even more manly by the sudden rush of blood into David's groin and three cocks. Aiden then pulled away with a wry smile. "Friends," he confirmed.

"Friends," David repeated.

Then, together, as friends with a respectable distance between them, they headed up stairs where Tony and the Pride had already gathered. Ben and Shaun came in shortly afterwards and by the distinct lack of their clothing and sweat rolling off their bodies, it was clear what they had done to pass the time.

David stripped off his clothing and regarded the three horse cocks hanging from his groin. For the first time since he had gotten them, he actually felt they were excessive. Why go to so many changes when his life had already been near-perfect? Fresh starts were great but why toss aside what he had learned?

It was an odd sensation to have used the Game as his escape only to now stand here and realise he didn't want or need it anymore. He doubted he could remake the path he took previously with the lessons he learned as a multi-armed, multi-cocked anthropomorphic equine. It took him a moment to realise that the transformations had already begun around him.

Ben was already beyond the average bodybuilder's build and returning to his herculean lupine form, his entire form bulging out and his gargantuan cock rising out up against his chest. Lupine features emerged from every segment that his bulging veins touched. A howl erupted from his muzzle as his cock exploded, spraying his growth-inducing cum everywhere. Shaun had long since been enveloped in his cocoon of solidified seamen and cracks were beginning to form on the outer shell. With a loud rip a single orange paw erupted from the membrane and he let out a proud roar as he emerged. Ben instantly pounced on him, a feral and lewd grin on his muzzle as he seized Shaun's rear cock, stroking it playfully as he got his mate off.

Tony laughed as he struggled to be on top of Steven, the smaller, younger lion trying to assert his dominance. Eli was eagerly lapping at both their feet while Xavier sat back, stroking his cock and a light blush on his cheeks. Tony's twitching form presented a moment of weakness as it reached his cock and the golden fur sprang up from the rest of his body. Steven capitalised on that and quickly turned the tables, leaping behind Tony and hugging the bigger lion against him, cock pressed up against the crack of Tony's ass.

There was a loud splurt and perhaps the biggest load of cum so far sprayed David's left side. Aiden emerged from his cock of transformation, wiggling out of the fleshy bag and balls, panting loudly with his cock painfully erect. His tentacles instantly went to work, one wrapping around his member and the other sliding cautiously down his back and pressing up against his asshole. David found himself getting really hard as Aiden was lost in the moment, oblivious to everyone else as he literally found some way of penetrating himself with his own tentacles. The bull grunted as the tentacle inserted itself between his bubble butt, precum jumping out of his cock.

David swallowed hard, finding his throat suddenly dry. He found the dice and quickly picked them up. The throbbing began up his hands once more but it just was not as pleasurable as before. That sensation of pulsing growth like the beast inside of him was yearning for release and every breath he took pushed him closer and closer to that bestial state permeated every part of his body. But, he found himself staring at Aiden pleasuring himself. His hands migrated towards his three horse cocks, squeezing them tightening and running over their impressive length. Every time they passed that little ring of flesh just below the flattened edge, a fresh wave of pleasure washed through him and his entire body surged outwards from the change.

His toes cracked and snapped together as they merged, every toenail hardening into the hoof-like consistency and quickly forming his Avatar's feet. Thick veins pumped up his calves, his bones and muscles throbbing to the beat of his heart and his pounding cocks. That tingling sensation of his second pair of arms coming in quickly came in and he immediately put them to good use, seizing his middle cock with one and the other rubbing his throat as the soft fur began to creep up his neck. The throbbing moved towards his face, his nose and lips pushing further and further away from his skull with every thump of his heart.

Despite all the mounting pleasure, his eyes were still fixated on Aiden's quickening pace. When precum began dripping between his lengthening legs and bubbling out from between his lips, he just opened his muzzle to let the rising cock-tongue come out. When he seized it with his one free hand, it felt like just going through the motions. He wasn't bored, he enjoyed every moment of it but it just felt... empty.

Ben and Shaun were first to climax - Ben for his second time in rapid succession. Tony and his pride followed shortly afterwards. David tried to hold himself as much as possible but the sight of Aiden moaning and grunting was too much for him. His hips bucked as his cocks sprayed a larger volume as each one erupted like a fire hose. Even with the rising pressure rising from his cock-tongue, David somehow managed to hold on for a precious three seconds before Aiden bucked his own hips and let loose a respectable amount of cum. That was his signal and David let open the floodgates.

The last orgasm was the most powerful of them all and he felt his entire head shake from the eruption. His mind fogged over as a strange dizziness fell over him and he toppled to the ground, somehow catching himself on his many hands and knees. He shuddered when his cock-tongue brushed against the floor, the sensitive flesh quivering and yearning for more release. He found it incredibly easy to brush aside that sensation and drown the lust away with other thoughts.

It was surprising just how easily his cocks receded into their places. As the blood began rushing back into his head and he found his mind clearing, he sat up and took a deep breath. Ben's pheromones were still in the air and they did stir his cocks again but not as much as they used to. The scent of the other men's sweaty bodies now seemed stale instead of aromatic and desirable. Still sexy, yes but nothing he wanted.

Well... except maybe one but that was only if Aiden was willing to give it a try again.

"Are we all ready?" he asked, reaching down and picking up the dice. "Shaun, I think it was your turn, right?"

The tiger-taur nodded between his pants and took the dice from him. With a deep breath, he let it loose on the board. His roll forced his Avatar to leap forward four spaces, coming very close to his finish. From the looks of it, twenty one more tiles separated him from his finish. At most, that was four turns.

The blue tile no longer seemed to bother anyone as he picked up the blue card, he smiled brightly at Tony and his Pride.

"Single effect," he stated, "Target: anyone but self. And from all appearances, I've got a 20 on the other dice. That means..." He leaned down and checked the tables. "Love." Smiling at Tony. "So, who do you want to love you?"

Tony gave him a curious look. "Don't you want to use that on someone like... I don't know, Ben?"

Shaun grinned and draped an arm around his gargantuan wolf. "I know he loves me."

"That I do!" Ben answered proudly. "So come on, man. What's the verdict?"

Strangely, Tony regarded his clones and shook his head. "I think I'm good..." He nodded at David and then at Aiden. "What about them? How about you two? Anyone you're looking to love?"

Bull and horse exchanged glances. Their muzzles hung open, speechless. Aiden was the first to break the glance. David couldn't say he wasn't disappointed but he held his tongue and turned back towards Shaun. "I'm good."

"Me too," Aiden murmured. "How about... How about you just make Xavier love Tony more?"

Shaun gave both his best friend and David a dubious look before turning back towards Tony. "You okay with that?"

Even Tony seemed to sense the tension between Aiden and David but said, "Yeah, sure."

"Alright then... I want Xavier to love Tony."

"Already do!" answered the youngest lion, hugging Tony lovingly and licking his cheek.

Shaun handed the dice to Aiden who regarded it thoughtfully. Aiden suddenly let out a cough and dropped the dice. The d6 landed on a 3 while the d20 fell on a 6. His Avatar strode forward to a yellow square. Aiden didn't seem to have the energy in him as he plucked a yellow card from the board and read it.

"Reroll for effect of target tile. Double effect. Target: self. And a 6 means..."

"Red," David finished.

Unfortunately, the closest red tile to Aiden's Avatar was two spaces behind and he was pushed back. There was a bit of lacklustre in Aiden's movements as he tossed the d20. His roll came up with a 7. Which, if David recalled correctly was -

Aiden doubled over, gasping for breath as he shut his eyes. The fur on his flesh began to throb and bubble. Two pieces of black, veiny flesh began emerging from his back, just beneath his existing two tentacles. As they sprang from his back, they quickly took the shape of two cocks. David found himself growing aroused but the look on Aiden's face killed any libido he had. Through the sweat... the bull looked to be... crying...?

The bull let out a tremendous roar when his two, extremely long cocks erupted and the tips of two, new tentacles thrashed out behind him. Showing surprising dexterity, his existing tentacles curled around the remnants of the transformation and tore the fleshy bags off, freeing their new brothers.

David moved towards the bull, laying a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "Hey, are you alright?"

Aiden nodded and pretended to wipe his brow of sweat. David saw that small flick of his thumb towards his eyes though, the sign of someone trying to wipe away tears. "Yeah... I'm fine. Just... It's a rush, you know?"

The break of the bull's voice was far from convincing but he left it.

The dice was passed over to Tony who threw the dice. His roll came up as a 4 for is d6 and 11 for his d20. Tony reached past his pride, smiling at each of them broadly as he picked up his blue card. When he saw it, however, he frowned and lost all mirth.

"What's wrong?" Shaun asked.

"Single effect: Target: anyone but self."

Why Tony's eyes immediately darted towards Ben, David could only guess but the answer quickly came a few moments later.

"Dad," Ben said softly. "When we began the Game... Tony used it on you."

David went rigid and stared at his son incredulously. "What? I don't remember -"

"This was before you joined the Game, sir," Tony murmured softly, his head bowed. "I... I got a roll just like this. I got the chance to change the personality of anyone I chose. Ben told me all about how when he was young, you caught him kissing a guy and you blew your lid."

That wasn't true. He remembered that day and if he recalled, he just laughed about it, asked his son if he was gay and didn't quite believe Ben when he denied it. Perhaps that was the first day he grew really close to his son.

"Actually, the way it happened -"

"That's how it happened," Ben said apologetically. "Dad... Tony changed your personality. He made you more 'accepting' of gays. In changing your personality, he changed who you were."

David shook his head incredulously. "That's not true. I've never minded gays. Fuck, look at me now! I'm in a room full of guys, naked with semi-erect cocks! You couldn't have -"

But the look of fear on Ben's eyes and the apologetic film on Tony's said it all. They had changed him. Not just a mere memory but on a fundamental level. One of the very aspects of his being had been drastically altered. Was everything he did up to this point just result of that change?

By making him more accepting towards gays, did Tony plant the seed of homosexuality in his mind?

Did that seed grow and as a result, made him miserable as he was bound to a wife he never truly wanted?

Even his hope for a relationship with Aiden... was that all because of that one underhanded trick?

David found the room suddenly far too crowded and stuffy. He couldn't breathe and had to get out of there. He bolted to his feet and hurried out of the room. Ben cried for him and Tony shouted an apology but it fell on deaf ears. The weight of the situation fell on his shoulders and he actually stumbled as he reached the stairs. He swore as he tumbled down the stairs, stopping about halfway with pain erupting from his head and back.

He wasn't sure if the tears that followed were from the actual stumble down the stairs or the horrific realisation that his life had been ruined by a misguided attempt to help him. He wasn't even if he should be angry, hysterical or regretful. The swirl of emotions just left him feeling numb and hollow.

Somehow he found the strength to rise up from where he lay and staggered around the house. With nowhere to actually go, he found himself at living room where the pictures of Aiden and his father stood, staring back at him like a mirror of his own life. In those pictures, the smiles were fake, a façade.

The life he knew was just the same.

"Hey..."

He was surprised to find one of Aiden's smooth tentacles curling around his shoulders and the bull approaching slowly from the side.

"I'm surprised you came down..." David murmured, unable to look at the bull. It was too painful. When he looked at Aiden's face, he saw the handsome features of a human that he held feelings for but was reminded that all of those feelings could just be pinpointed to Tony's act of carelessness.

"Shaun isn't confident enough with four legs to come down the stairs. Ben can't fit through the door and Tony... I think he's the last guy you want to see right now."

"I almost wish I was a carnivore," David murmured, chuckling darkly. "Thanks for the effort, Aiden, but I don't think this is something you can fix."

Aiden took a deep breath and said, "Try me."

He regarded the bull with a look of scepticism. "Oh yeah? How could you possibly relate to all of this, huh? How can your relationship with your father somehow -"

"All my life, I've pretended to be someone I wasn't," Aiden interrupted sharply. "You said so yourself. I'm looking... I was looking for someone to replace my dad. I became someone I thought he'd want me to be so that he could be proud of me and look at me, telling me with that proud smile that I was really his son. But you know what?"

David was almost afraid to ask but... "What...?"

Strangely, Aiden let out a soft laugh. "Jacob... He talked me through it. My whole life is a sham that can be pointed to that one day in my life I decided to be someone my father can be proud of instead of who I really am." His eyes locked with David's. "In that way, we're the same... sort of... I think..." His cheeks were starting to turn red. "It's just... well... There was a point in your life where something changed for you and you went down one road... You... erm... Shit... what did he say... You..."

"Can't get hung up on what could have been?" David asked.

"Yeah! Something like that!"

David couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head helplessly. "Okay, kiddo... The difference is, you discarded that false life. Should I do the same? Should I go back to being a bigoted idiot?"

There, Aiden's face brightened and he leapt back, pointing at David with triumph. "Ah ha!"

That only served to confuse the equine even more. "Okay..."

The blush on Aiden's cheeks grew even deeper as he lowered his hand and let out a very awkward cough. "I mean... I chose to discard that life. It's not about what is the truth and what is a lie. It's about what you feel now and which path you want to take. You're walking down one path and running parallel to you is that 'what-if' world. If you're not careful and keep looking over there, you'll end up tripping because you're not focusing on the path you're on now."

David opened his muzzle to say something but something made him stop. "Do you have a quarter?"

"Huh?" Aiden looked around and went towards the couch. "There might be one in the... Ah! Here we go!" He fished for a quarter deep in the crevasses of the couch and flicked it towards David. "What do you need it for?"

Taking the quarter, he said, "Heads says I choose to go back to what things were... and tails says I stay exactly where I am."

"You're going to trust your fate in a coin?"

He shrugged and said, "We're letting our lives get altered and changed by a mysterious, evil board game. Why not, right?"

Aiden let out a begrudging sound. "Point taken..."

David tossed the coin into the air. While his heart stopped, it wasn't because of the choice that rested on fate. It was because when he looked in Aiden's eyes, he saw that look of apprehension, fear and that deep desire that had compelled the bull to make some excuse as to why the others didn't want to come down and comfort him.

The soft clatter of the coin on the floor didn't tear him from looking into Aiden's eyes. When he saw the look of horror and the tears welling up in the bull's eyes, he had his answer.

"It's -" began the bull.

Aiden never got a moment to finish as David stepped forward, towering over the bull and holding him tightly. Their muzzles met and the mound of muscle in his arms just melted. Those fleshy tentacles curled around David's body, pulling them even closer together as their arms locked into place and their hearts skipped a beat at exactly the same moment.

The moment of bliss was exactly what David had been missing. As their tongues gently brushed against one another's, tentatively at first and then ploughing deep into each other's throats in passion, he realised he didn't care which path he took.

This was where he was heading.

Aiden broke their kiss, blinking in surprised. "But... It was heads..."

David shook his head, grinning faintly. "I don't care."

"I thought... we were..."

He dove in for one more kiss and Aiden just melted, hanging limply in his arms.

As they broke their kiss one more time, Aiden said, "Good answer."

Grinning broadly and pressed his hardening cocks against Aiden's, David said, "Hey... wanna do it on the couch while dear old daddy watches?" He hiked his chin at the pictures.

Sharing his grin, Aiden slipped his tentacles down David's ass, gently probing the tight muscles there. "You already know the answer."

Their lips met once more in unhindered passion, their reservations melting into the affection they felt towards one another. Their moans rose up as their cocks grew to full mast and rubbed against one another. David's three cocks engulfed Aiden's one, cradling it amongst them like a long lost brother being welcomed back into the family. His cock-tongue quickly emerged and slowly slipped down Aiden's throat. At first the, bull was a little hesitant but then he twisted his head to the side, allowing more room for their muzzles to interlock and granting the cock greater access to his throat. His tongue danced over the veins of the pulsating member, making David shudder.

David pressed himself against Aiden, his taller frame pushing the bull back a few feet. Aiden seemed to enjoy the sensation so he just continued to push... and push... and push until the world suddenly took a strange twist. David's eyes sprang open just in time to see the couch behind Aiden as they tumbled over it. There was a loud thud as they hid the ground just beside the coffee table but neither of them cared.

The slight impact only caused their passions to grow, their hearts pounding with adrenaline. David ran his hands over Aiden's firm, strong pecs just as he felt Aiden explore the eight pack abs that came with being so tall. His hands ran over Aiden's firm nipples, giving them a little pinch that caused the bull to shudder beneath him. One of Aiden's tentacles curled behind David's neck, forcing them closer together.

His fingers trembling from contact with this hot piece of bull, David ran his hands over Aiden's thick biceps. Sensing his need, Aiden flexed his arms. The equine's cocks let out a healthy flood of precum onto Aiden's chest at the touch of such iron-like, corded muscle. His fingers traced thick, pulsating veins over the mound of that bulky bicep and onto the firm muscle of Aiden's forearms. Then, his palm pressed up against Aiden's.

The soft click of their hoofed fingertips made them both pause. They pulled away a little from their kiss, David's cock-tongue still partially embedded into Aiden's throat. Together, they both look to where their similar hands were pressed against one another.

No words needed to be said.

It as a sign.

They smiled at one another and David dove back in, moaning softly as Aiden lovingly suckled on his cock. The bull shuddered beneath him and a soft sob came up between the moans of passion. A tear ran down Aiden's cheek but the smile on his face revealed it to be a tear of utter happiness. Gently, David brushed it away with a thumb and curled his arm around the bull's neck, trying to get as much of their body in contact as possible.

When Aiden began thrusting his hips into David, the horse could only respond with his own. He grunted deeply as his cocks pressed up against hard abs and brushed against even harder pecs. His tail thrashed behind him in excitement as he felt two of Aiden's tentacles massaging his glutes, slowly working their way towards a single target. David moaned softly when he felt those tentacles prod his tight ass ring.

Aiden curled his legs around David's waist, thrusting his hips wildly with each deep, grunt. David found the position caused his cocks to slowly migrate towards a new target. He felt them slide out from between Aiden's abs and brush up against that bubble butt. Aiden was moaning and gave one, particularly hard suck on David's cock-tongue. For some reason, that just clicked something in the equine and with his free hand, he guided his middle member towards Aiden's rear.

The bull gave a rising moan, only matched by David as the equine member pushed through the tight muscular ass into the bull. At the same time, both of Aiden's tentacles penetrated the barrier of David's ass and wiggled deep inside of him. David quickly switched off and went into autopilot, only able to feel and no longer control.

The wild thrust of Aiden combined with his own guttural bucks pushed him deeper and deeper into the bull. At the same time, those tentacles kept driving deeper and deeper into him. Their wild, passionate love shook the floor. Aiden's arms thrashed on their way to seize David's muscular back and knocked the coffee table over. The deafening crash was lost to both lovers as they let out muffled moans, muscular bodies grinding against one another.

Those warm tentacles inside David began sliding in and out, twin hot rods that pulled in and out one another the other. Like twin jackhammers, he found every moment giving rise to the bubbling cum that jostled deep within his engorged balls. David was already in utter bliss when Aiden's free tentacle curled around one of his unattended cocks, giving it a tight squeeze. He inadvertently let out a ferocious kick, slamming into the couch and knocking it over. Aiden's hand went to the other cock and he let out another kick.

The unbelievable sensation of having all three cocks pleasured, his cock-tongue buried deep into Aiden's throat and being attended by Aiden's tongue and those tentacles driving him further and further onward to climax was too much.

David let out a titanic roar, muffled by his cock-tongue.

His cock buried deep inside Aiden exploded in a rush of his hot semen. Aiden jostled himself and his cock was wracked with spasms as he let out his own load. The feeling of that warm seed bleeding between their bodies, binding them together forever pushed David more.

He yanked his cock-tongue out from Aiden's throat, letting out a loud neigh as it went rigid and sprayed his jizz all over the living room. He thrashed his head wildly from side to side, mane whipping wildly in the air as his two other cocks sprayed even more seed onto the carpeted floor, both unleashing an unstoppable flood of his cum.

David jerked one more time, squeezing the last ounces of cum out of his cocks. When the last few drops dribbled out of his cock-tongue, he collapsed to the ground, resting beside Aiden even with one of his cocks still embedded deep into the bull.

Panting and barely able to see through his euphoria, David could still see the glorious smile of Aiden. It was a pure, genuine smile. One that was truly happy and unhindered by the past.

"Should I start calling you 'daddy'...?" Aiden joked wearily.

"You do, and I'll kill you," David answered with a soft chuckle.

They wrapped their arms around one another, fur soaked in cum and sighing contently.

An unknown amount of time passed before they both realised they still had a Game to play. With great reluctance, David pulled himself out of Aiden just as Aiden did the same. They didn't care so much that they were covered in semen as they strode hand in hand up the stairs and back into the room where the others sat.

When they entered, they were met with startled stares.

"Dad..." Ben began. "I -"

David held up his hand, particularly the one interlocked with Aiden's. "It's okay, son. I'm okay with it."

"You are?" Tony asked, surprised. "Just for the record, I really am very sorry."

"And I'm grateful," David answered. "I was a little pissed at first but then this special someone taught me that it isn't about what path you didn't take but what you do with the one you're one." He gave Aiden a beaming smile and kissed the bull's cheek lovingly.

Shaun let out a loud 'whoo'.

Aiden blushed beneath his fur and sat back down, this time cradled in between David's long legs and arms. "Okay! Tony, you've got a personality to change! Who's the target?"

Tony smiled and regarded his pride. "After a lot of deliberation, I've decided that... I'm going to change myself."

Both David and Aiden gave a startled jump but from Ben and Shaun's solemn stares, it was clear this was a group decision.

"I'm going to stop being so nosy," he said. "Just because I have the power to, doesn't make it right to change people's lives. I'm a philosophy major. Not a psychology. It's not my job to change people. They're not the same." He took a deep breath. "So... I've made my decision... I will stop being nosy and messing with people's lives."

There didn't seem to be any outward change and as with most blue cards, they wouldn't know the effect until later. Tony picked up the dice and handed them to Ben.

"Dad..." Ben said, clutching the dice tightly. "I'm really sorry for keeping this from you. I just... I didn't want you... be mad."

"Ben, I'm okay. I'm better than okay, in fact." He grinned at Aiden. "I'm happy."

Nodding, Ben shook his dice and tossed it towards the ground. His d6 landed on a 5, pushing him closer to his finish. Like Shaun, he was one of the closest to their finish. Still, he landed on a red tile and with his d20 on a 2, someone was in for some penis enlargement. He picked it up his card and smiled.

"Double effect. Target: anyone but self." He looked fondly at Aiden. "Hey bud, you look like you need some help there."

Aiden blinked a couple of times and regarded his modestly sized nine inch tool. "Well... I wouldn't mind."

Grinning, David reached down and squeezed Aiden's still very hard cock. "Neither would I."

"It's settled then!" Ben said with much relief in his voice.

Aiden went rigid and let out a gasp as his cock jerked. It began filling up with more and more blood to the point of bursting. The flesh and muscle pushed out, rising well up his stomach until it just touched the base of his pecs. He lay back into David's arms and let out a shuddering gasp as his cock bounced once and let out a burst of his semen, splattering both him and David with a healthy coating. Still grinning, David bent down and licked the salty goo off Aiden's cheek, eventually leading them into a loving kiss.

A soft 'aww' came from the rest of the group and the dice was passed onto David.

While he was unwilling to break the kiss, David gave his mate a wink, a promise that they would return to their love right after his next turn. He threw the dice and watched his d6 land on a 6. His Avatar leapt forward six spaces, falling onto a yellow square. He was only partially paying attention when he plucked the yellow card and read, "Double effect. Do not action target tile. Target: self."

His Avatar strode forward another six spaces and he was surprised to find himself about the same distance from his finish as Tony. Not for the first time, he wondered if the Game had ties to their realisations in real life. As his reliance on the Game grew looser, his Avatar strode closer and closer to his finish. In fact, when Shaun and Ben came together, their Avatars took great leaps and bounds toward their finish.

The dice was then handed to Shaun and the thought was forgotten.

Shaun threw the dice, his d6 landed on a 5.

And his Avatar striding towards a black tile.

David held Aiden tightly and for the first time, he was content just to stay as they were.

When the darkness came around to consume them, he instantly missed the touch of his mate. With a gentle smile on his features he let himself drift off for a moment, reflecting on just how fate had brought them together... fate and their own choices.

"The game is: Pipedream."

He opened his eyes and found himself standing with another penis pump attached to each of his cocks, one even wrapped around his muzzle. All the tubes led towards a large, central orb and in front of them rested a panel with exactly five buttons. David tried to move but found something stuck in his ass, just wedged in there. He glanced over his shoulder and found another tube buried deep between his glutes and connected to the central orb.

Arranged in a rough circle were the other players.

"The objective of the game is to produce as much semen as you can. The amount of semen is stored in the central orb. Each of the buttons in front of you control the direction in which the semen flows with each button attributing to one of the other players. Colours relate to the players. Red is for Player Benjamin. Blue is for Player Anthony. Yellow is Player Shaun. Green represents player David and white represents Player Aiden.

"Each player has the capacity to direct the flow of semen proportionate to the amount they contribute. The player with the largest contribution can influence the flow the most. Players must produce enough semen and then press one of the buttons to force the flow of semen into another player. The targeted player can attempt to stem the flow with their own contributions. Failure to stop the flow will lead to all the contributed semen in the central orb being pumped into the target. Failure to select a target from all players will cause all the flow to be directed back into the players. The objective of the game is to be the last one standing."

David grinned through the tube in his muzzle.

There was only one person with the advantage here.

"The game, begins now_."_

The pumps instantly began working and everyone instantly shuddered as their members were stimulated beyond belief. David grunted and ran his hands over his nipples, willing himself to orgasm. He was the first to let out a cry as his three members let out their load, a steady stream of cum channelling through the tubes and heading straight into the central orb. He was surprised, however, that his cock-tongue took a while to emerge.

Then he realised...

Unlike everyone else with the exception of Aiden, he had cum twice before this end game. His body was physically spent from orgasm! Yes, he could still produce the cum but getting to that point would be infinitely more difficult than say Ben or Shaun. Worse, Tony had three pride members who had yet to get off and all three were hooked up as well!

He cast a worried glance at Aiden and they both shared the same thought.

Tony had to go first.

It seemed the others shared the same thought as they all immediately hit the blue button.

Tony let out a cry. "Hey! Wait a minute!"

But it was too late. Before he could even contribute or his pride members could get off, David's flood of cum rushed through the tubes and vanished into Tony's ass. The lion let out a cry and fell to his knees, shuddering as his belly began to bloat with the tremendous amount of cum that David alone had produced. Tony fell back, shuddering and with a slight belly.

"Player Anthony has been eliminated."

Suddenly, it became a battle between two couples. As much as he hated going up against his own son, David had a sudden urge to win. Not for himself and not even to stay as human as possible. He felt he needed to make Aiden proud. Yes, he'd eventually have to go up against his love but that was what he wanted. He was sure Shaun and Ben were sharing the same thoughts.

Ben went to work pumping his enormous cock, panting like a wild animal with his hips bucking. Shaun was having a little more trouble as he could only reach one of his cocks. He still went to work on his own nipples and tried to stimulate himself in an attempt to get off. Aiden let out a fierce cry as his cum came shooting out of his enlarged cock and flooded into the pumps. He immediately hit the yellow button, much to Shaun's horror.

"Gotcha, buddy!" Aiden exclaimed triumphantly.

"I got your back!" Ben exclaimed suddenly. "Fuck!" His enormous cock nearly shattered the tubes. Cum came rushing out from the tapered tip like a flood of goo, outclassing Aiden's own enormous contribution. Ben hit the white button and Aiden could only freeze up in horror.

"No way!" shouted David even though he was muzzled. He shut his eyes and thought about the crazy, hot sex they just had. With a muffled cry, his cock-tongue went wild and spewed even more cum than the last thanks to his power of his orgasm multiplication. He hit the yellow button, his hands shaking from the effort.

The flood suddenly went back straight to Shaun whose eyes boggled. Before he could even get off, the rush of cum came pouring deep into his ass. The tiger-taur reared up, letting out a ferocious roar of defiance before his entire body shuddered and shook violently with the rush of semen. A belly quickly formed itself just at his flanks, leaving his washboard abs unharmed. There was so much cum however, that his belly just kept growing and growing and growing. The weight became so much that Shaun came back down from his rearing with a slam and hit the ground, shuddering.

"Shaun!" Ben cried.

"Player Shaun has been eliminated."

But the show was far from over. Suddenly, Shaun's belly began to shrink rapidly, the sound of gurgling and bubbling filling the arena. At first, David thought it was just the closing moments before Shaun was pulled away but then...

Thick, purple veins began popping up all over Shaun's striped body. The tiger-taur, barely conscious, moaned softly as his entire body began shuddering violently. Every muscle in his body seized up. When the veins crossed them, the exploded outwards in a flash, straining the striped fur and leaving the veins perpetually bulging. The huge tiger-taur looked so muscular he could barely move! His thighs were simply massive and every bicep was so cut and firm that it seemed physically impossible.

Shaun let out a moan and at last, his cocks let out their much needed release but it all seemed a little pathetic compared to his gargantuan size which strangely made him a perfect match for Ben.

The lights around Shaun went out and David instantly turned his attention back to the game at hand. He began stimulating himself, trying desperately to get off but he found himself actually going flaccid. The need was there but he was just physically exhausted.

Ben, growling deeply began to work as well and even Aiden was trying hard to get off.

It became a race on who could ejaculate the quickest.

The answer...

... was Ben.

With more than two orgasms each, Aiden and David were spent but Ben still had one more in him.

"Gotcha!" Ben roared, hitting the white button once more.

David could watch in horror as the flood of muscle-stimulating cum went rushing straight towards Aiden. He was a little surprised that he didn't want Aiden to grow into a huge, muscle-bound bull. He just wanted Aiden to survive the round.

But then...

Aiden held out his hand and shouted. "No!"

The flow of cum suddenly stopped before it reached him.

Then David remembered... Aiden could control cum! It was his power from the previous round he won!

Before Ben could react, the flood came rushing straight back at him. He let out a howl of defeat as the flood pumped straight into him. His muscles were so big that even with the overwhelming rush, it barely hid his washboard abs. The huge wolf fell to his knees and began to shake, veins pulsating all over his body. His shoulders were the first to grow, bulging out as his face grew even bigger to suit his growing stature. His cock jerked violently from the growth and with the burst of muscle in his thighs, the tube around his cock shattered.

Ben threw his head back, howling loudly as his pecs burst outwards, each one as big as a wheel and ridged with hard muscle. His abs evolved into a massive ten pack that his pulsing, thick cock barely hid.

"Player Benjamin has been eliminated."

David was unsure how to feel...

Now he stood beside Aiden... and one of them had to win.

"Go on, Dave," Aiden said with a heavy sigh. "I haven't lost yet, remember? I can take one for the team."

David shook his head trying to speak through his tube and cock-tongue but his exhaustion got the better of him.

Aiden chuckled softly. "Okay... If you're not going to do it..." The bull let out a soft grunt. A small dribble of cum erupted from his cock, probably just leftovers from his last orgasm. Then, using his hand, he traced the path of the little droplet through the tubes, into the central orb... and then straight back to himself.

Tears welled up in his eyes, David could only watch as Aiden smiled at him and took the fall.

At that moment, he knew where his future lay.

"Player Aiden has been -"

There was a sudden ringing in from the announcer's side.

Everyone paused...

Then there was a soft click.

"Hello?" the announcer asked.

A sudden buzz filled the air and a scraping filled the airways like someone had taken a metal rake and ran it across a chalkboard. Silence came shortly afterwards, broken a few seconds later by a third voice.

"Didn't turn out quite how planned, did it?"

The announcer let out a cry. "You!"

"I see you," the third voice said with a hint of menace. "Your game is almost over."

Then all went black.

Before David fell into unconsciousness... he remembered thinking he knew the owner of that third voice...

*****

When he awoke, David sprang up looking around in desperation. His mind wasn't on the card that told him of his success or even the familiar voice. It was only on Aiden. He hurried over to his mate who late beside him. Much to his relief, the only change in Aiden was a few added pounds of muscle and maybe a few inches of height. There was a light dusting of hair on his chest that made him all the sexier but nothing more.

"Ow..." he heard Shaun mutter.

David held his gasp when he saw Shaun rise and rub the back of his head. Striped orange fur covered his arms, chest and legs. He was his Avatar in all but facial structure, number of cocks and legs. His cock was already quite large and buried deep inside a white, furry sheath.

"Shit..." Shaun muttered. Then his eyes sprang up. "Ben!"

Ben was even further down the track. His entire body was covered in dense, black fur and a tail wagged softly behind him as he cradled his thick, canine cock between his huge, muscular arms. He was so big that no amount of clothing could have hidden his bulk. His face was covered in a thick coating of fur making him look like an early model for a werewolf.

"Yikes..." came Tony's voice.

Like the early players, Tony was now covered in golden fur and his mane had fully come in. His tail lay behind him and his hands and feet had completely turned into paws. Only his face remained vaguely human but his nose had already started to flatten into the distinct shape of a lion's. He was probably just one change away from becoming entirely lion.

David was a little startled at the change as well. He wasn't sure if he was expecting another lion or not but seeing Tony so far in his transformation made the whole situation so real. His son and Tony could go out into the open now. Shaun could barely pass as human but what would become of them if they didn't finish the Game soon?

"Urgh..." Aiden rubbed his forehead and blinked a couple of times. When he saw David, he smiled. "Hey there handsome."

David was a little startled at the greeting as he was shaken from the changed of the other players. However, seeing his mate... he decided he didn't care what happened. They were together and that was what mattered.

Suddenly, Aiden frowned. "Hey... that voice... the new one..."

"There was a new voice?" asked Shaun. "Masculine or feminine?"

"Masculine," answered David with a frown. "And I think I know who it belongs to."

He exchanged glances with Aiden.

"Jacob," the said in unison.

Suddenly, a loud ringing hit their ears. Everyone in the room instinctively went for their pockets, searching for their phones when they realised they were in the pile of folded clothes not too far away from them. They scrambled for their clothes when a second ring came.

That was not a phone.

Then the knocking came.

Each of them exchanged glances.

One by one, they turned towards the door out of the room.

Fear rippled through each of their veins. David put on his clothes and quietly crept out of the room with Aiden and Shaun in tow. Ben, Tony and his pride remained upstairs, peering down the stairs as the trio approached the door.

Another knock came, this time more insistent.

David froze.

"Come on, Shaun! I know you're in there!"

"Shit," Shaun hissed to which Aiden added with a lively, "Fuck!"

"Who is it?" David asked.

Shaun took a deep breath and let it out very slowly. In a whisper, he said, "That... That is my ex... Ashley."
