The Game v2.0 - Round 5

The moment Shaun closed the door, he felt a sense of overwhelming guilt slam down upon his shoulders and weigh him down. He had to fight hard not to slam his head against the door in depression. The smile on his face had been so natural, so easy to muster. For the first time, he actually felt something for someone romantically. But there was one big hitch that caused his little love train to come crashing into a fifty foot thick brick wall.

He had a girlfriend.

That became painfully obvious when his phone began to buzz. Even without looking, he knew who it was. He just ignored it and strode back next door back into his home and apartment. One good thing about being best buds with Aiden was the constant maintenance of privacy. Aiden was vocal when he needed to be but when it came to terms of contact, the less time they spent in the same room as one another the better.

One couldn't call Aiden 'antisocial'.

Just... a private person.

Shaun shut himself in his room and collapsed onto his bed. The scent of male-on-male coupling was still in the air. He had to laugh a little as he rubbed his cheek against a spot on his pillow hardened by dried semen. Memories of the previous night still floated around in his head and it made his heart seize up just thinking about how much fun he had with Ben.

The attraction had been more than just looks; though that played a pretty big part. Ben was sweet, not at all needy and Shaun was pretty sure Ben had the personality where he had no idea just how hot he was. Modest, kind and sensitive. Not at all afraid to cry and ask for help while still maintaining his masculinity. It was that mix of paradoxical qualities that just had Shaun gravitating towards Ben.

That and his smell.

Shaun had no idea what it was but even through the rain, he had caught scent of Ben and something in him just clicked. He didn't want to tell Ben that the guy just smelled amazing unless he gave Ben the idea he was some sort of animal. Shaun found himself taking long, deep whiffs of the sheets, trying to suck up as much of the remnants of his boyfriend's aroma as he could.

He let himself drift back into the memories before he was abruptly jarred back into reality by a knock on his door.

"Yeah?"

Aiden poked his head in, looking pissed and waving his phone. "The bitch just called," he said. "Wants to know why you didn't pick up. How many times did she call you?"

"Once as far as I know," Shaun replied, sighing. "If she calls again, I'm still not talking to her."

"Dude. She cheated on you. Why are you even letting her do this? This is borderline stalker!"

It seriously was.

Ashley had paradoxical qualities just like Ben. Shaun was pretty sure that was what had attracted him to her in the first place. She was the daughter of an extremely devout mother and father, one a stay-at-home mom who gossiped with others of her ilk and the other a miner with an extreme belief in God to the point of being fanatical. On the outside, she was an angel come down from Heaven. But when no one was looking, she was the devil's daughter.

Shaun enjoyed playing the whole cloak and dagger routine with her during high school. They would sneak around behind their parents' backs and make out in the bushes or - when they were a suitable age - do it like wild animals. All the while, when they were in the public eye, they were the most romantic, squeaky clean couple in the world. They were both popular at school - Shaun being on the football team and her being a beautiful, intelligent member of several clubs - and everyone who was everyone wanted to be like them.

It was a perfect set up.

Until they moved to college, that is and Shaun came out to his father.

Too much effort had gone to the charade. The shame it would bring for everyone to realise that Ashley's fairy tale ending was just that - a story - and her Prince Charming was actually gay would shatter the fragile world of popularity that she had built about herself. As a result, knowing how Shaun wanted to keep his orientation a secret, she blackmailed him.

'Keep going out with me in public or I'll tell the world how you broke my heart and decided you liked cock instead of pussy.'

And it would work, too. Yes, her popularity would suffer but it would seem like the world would turn on Shaun. Ashley would be the victim. Even Aiden didn't know and he was the last person in the world close enough to offer some support. Shaun did not want to go running back to his mother especially since she was normally halfway around the world.

So... he kept it up.

Partially because of guilt.

Partially because he was trapped.

He was the dog on her leash.

The unfortunate thing was, Ashley now had licence to sleep around and it was Shaun's job to maintain the façade. Aiden once walked in on her in bed with another member of the football team and another lie was born.

Shaun had to lie to his best friend that he was still madly in love with her but it would take time to heal the wounds. It killed him to say those words. He did not love Ashley. It was Ben he loved.

"Yo!" Aiden said, sitting heavily beside him. The bed jolted from his weight. "You still in there, bud?"

Shaun shook his head free of the terrible lies he'd have to maintain and said, "Mostly. Just kinda bummed. Had a good friend over and now I have to deal with her."

"Dude, you should just break up with her." Aiden clapped his shoulder heavily. "I mean, sure she's hot but come on, man! No one would blame you. She's a slut and a lying bitch. If you're not going to blow the lid on her, I will."

"No!" Shaun exclaimed, seizing Aiden's arm. Practice made perfect and after being friends with Aiden for so long, Shaun had mastered the art of not getting a boner every time he touched his best friend's huge, muscular arm. "Let me deal with it. Next time she calls, I'll take it."

Aiden rolled his eyes. "You keep saying that but every time, you come back telling me you're back together."

"This time I mean it."

This time, he had more than just Aiden. He had Ben too.

Taking that to empower him, Shaun stood up and gave Aiden a broad grin. "Next time she calls, I'm going to show her who's boss. In the meantime, I got somewhere to be."

"It's pouring outside!" Aiden exclaimed. "Where do you have to go?"

"Next door."

Aiden gave him a suspicious look. "You're not going to give that gay cop more help moving, are you?"

It never ceased to surprise him just how acute Aiden's gaydar was and how deep into denial he was. David Chambers did not exude any form of the typical homosexual stereotypes but somehow, Aiden immediately knew he was gay the moment they started to help. Shaun could not deny that he picked up on that as well but he decided not to act upon it. David was way older than he was and besides, he was in love with David's son. At the same time, despite how accurate that gaydar was, Aiden did not detect Shaun's sexual orientation. Or maybe he did but was just in denial.

"Nah, just going to check if he's okay. Ben, my friend, is actually his son. They had a falling out and the last thing I want is a murder scene right next door."

Aiden jumped to his feet and strode towards the door, waving his hand over his shoulder. "Well, good luck. Scream if you need help."

"Will do."

That was only a partial lie. Shaun wanted to tell Ben everything. If he was honest from the get-go, then there would be no need to keep another lie looming over their heads. This relationship would start out clean. No hiding his preference in males like with his parents and definitely no entrapping falsehood of love like with Ashley.

He was going to do this right.

Shaun was out the door with a spring in his step and the thump-thump-thump of Aiden's heavy metal in his ears. At David Chambers' door, he heard the oddest sounds... It sounded like... moaning. A lot of moaning... His mind instantly went wild with possibilities and there was no way his restraint could keep his cock from pumping up with blood at the thought of three hot guys going at it.

His lips went dry and he licked them, wondering if he looked like a pervert. Reaching for the door, he prayed that it was open and his heart skipped a beat when the knob turned completely. Slowly, he pushed it forward and froze.

Sitting on the hard floorboards around that strange board game, completely naked and with their bodies covered in sweat were Ben, David and that other guy... what was his name...? Tony! Tony was there too.

And all of them looked smoking hot.

Ben, thick, muscular and ripped like hell, David tall, athletic and hung like a horse and lastly, Tony, hairy, brimming with muscle and with his cock fully erect. All three of them had their cocks at full attention.

Shaun went to reach for his own cock, hoping no one would see him peering into the apartment. The moment he fished it out, the strangeness kicked in.

Ben's hand became crossed with thick, pulsing veins. Black fur spread out from his fingertips, consuming his fingernails. Every digit became thick and meaty with black claws jutting out from the tips. Ben lifted his paw at just the right angle for Shaun to see the leathery pads that had grown on his palms. The veins travelled up his forearm, building the muscle like rivers of protein dumping their sediment on the banks of his muscle. The fur quickly consumed every inch of that meaty arm as his biceps and triceps bulged out to bodybuilder size! He looked a little disproportionate for a moment but then each of his vertebrae pressed up against his skin. Right before Shaun's eyes, his boyfriend grew a few extra inches as the veins coursed over his back and built every muscle to suit his arm. The V-shape of Ben's body became more visible and from behind, he looked like a big, slab of muscle.

Shaun found himself drooling when he heard a faint grunt coming from David Chambers. To his surprise and arousal, every inch of the cop's body began throbbing visibly like something was pumping more and more mass into him. David's toes merged together to form solid hooves as his calves plumped up with each breath he took. Thighs became monstrously thick, build for running as each abdominal muscle breathed new life into itself. David's face contorted, a lusty grin on his face spreading as it grew longer, extended outwards and took on the familiar face of a horse. At his genital region, David's cock throbbed and lost its helmeted head in favour of a thick, mottled, cylindrical shape commonly attributed to equines. On either side of his cock, lumps began to form. Each lump developed a slit that quickly began to dribble precum all over the floor. It didn't take long before those lumps grew out, extending further and further until they became thick tubes of manly flesh hanging beside David's first cock and pumping precum onto the floor like faucets.

Opposite to David, Tony seemed to be enjoying his transformation the most. The young man was squeezing his own nipples while he pumped his throbbing cock. A cock that quickly became bright pink and pointed with small barbs appeared around the tip. Golden fur sprouted all over his body as every muscle on his body twitched like he was attached to electrodes giving him a constant shock. His muscles grew defined and pressed up against his golden fur to show off his athletic physique even as he orgasmed at that moment, spraying a tremendous amount of cum that was impossible for a guy his size in one sitting. The pool quickly formed at his feet, big enough to fill a bucket! Then, from the pool, a paw emerged quickly followed by an arm, shoulders and then the head of a lion attached to a human-esque body. Shaun's jaw dropped when the newly formed lion pounced on the Tony and began to pleasure him. It didn't take long before even Tony succumbed to his transformation and became a full lion, complete with tail. He orgasmed again a short while later, forming another gigantic pool of cum. This pool took the shape of another clone that quickly proceeded to join the first in pleasuring the big, furry lion.

Shaun found his eyes travelling back to Ben who gave a loud 'Fuck!' and sprayed cum all over the floor. It took him a moment to draw his eyes down to his own cock which had squirted his own modest load onto the doorknob. The pleasure of orgasm was just leaving him and a pang of disappointment hit him in having missed the full experience. He was just far too enraptured by the scene.

That moment of disappointment, however, was enough for Ben to lie back and see him.

"Shaun!?"

Shaun barely got an 'Oh shit' out before a werewolf, an equine counterpart and an army of anthropomorphic lions pounced on him. He gave a yell of shock when thick, furry paws seized his shoulders and legs, pulling him straight into the room with the door shutting tight with a slam. Some part of him hoped that Aiden had heard his desperate cry for help but remembered just how loudly Aiden played his music.

Desperate, he reached for his phone only for it to be yanked out of hands and tossed aside.

"Hold him down!" Tony shouted, pinning his arms to the ground.

"Shaun! Shaun!" Ben pleaded. "Please! Just calm down!"

Before he could even say that he was calm - despite thrashing - one of the lions shoved something cold, hard and metallic into his mouth. It was dangerously small and he almost choked on it. Thankfully, the beasts pinning him down instantly pulled away, giving him room to sit up and spit out the foreign object. He blinked away tears and cleared his vision just long enough to see the cold, hard metal slab sail through the air. His eyes trailed another object that had sprang from his mouth - a twenty-sided die.

Both objects landed on the game board but neither as expected. The metal slab lost its featureless countenance and instead landed as a perfect, nude sculpture of Shaun complete with erect cock. The die landed on a 4.

A ferocious roar erupted from Ben and he crash-tackled the lion that had shoved the slab into Shaun's mouth.

"Why the fuck did you do that!?" the wolf roared, his voice shaking the entire room.

It took Shaun a moment to realise that the lion he was yelling at was in fact, Tony. There were only slight differences between the three felines - mostly the size of their manes and their build. Tony was the one with the fullest mane and the biggest. Though compared to Ben, Tony was a downright twink.

"What... What did he do exactly...?" Shaun choked.

"Pulled you into the Game," David Chambers sighed, offering his strange, hoofed hand to Shaun. Taking the hand was like having his hand enveloped in fur. Shaun was left a little unnerved as the towering horse stood well above him. "You have to play now."

"What...?"

David rubbed his temples. "It's like this... This game... The Game is cursed. It - Ben, stop that!"

Not too far away, Ben was threatening Tony with fangs and claws. The wolf would not let him go. Shaun immediately went over to his boyfriend but stopped about a foot away. Ben's scent was stronger than ever and his cock drooled. For a second, all Shaun could think of was taking that big wolf cock in his mouth. Hell, he wanted to see what that wolf cock looked like first. If it was anything like David's or Tony's...

He shook the thought from his head, regaining his composure and pulling Ben off Tony. The wolf in his arms instantly went limp and he turned towards Shaun, towering over him by half a foot and looking like a big, muscular puppy. With his ears folded back, his eyes big and wide and a soft whimper on his muzzle, Ben looked just as adorable as ever. Adorable and hot.

Shaun resisted the urge to look at his boyfriend's cock no matter how much he wanted. "Ben, come on man. Whatever Tony did can't be worth killing him."

"It is if you realise just how bad you're in it now," Ben growled, flashing a fierce glance at Tony.

"Then explain. Why are you suddenly this hulking mountain of fur and muscle and why is your roommate and father like you?"

Sighing, Ben strode over to the nearby couch and sat down, cupping his head in his massive paws. Shaun sat next to him, draping an army over his shoulder and holding him tightly.

"It's like this," the wolf sighed. "The Game forces us to play it. We don't know what will happen if we don't but after it started changing us and after the changes start bleeding into reality... well... We don't want to find out what happens if we don't play it." He pointed at the game board. "Each little Avatar has its own path to follow. The tiles change you in different ways. If you land on a Black Tile, there is a sort of 'end round' where you're forced to face off against the other players in some sort of depraved sex game. The winner gets to revert back to their former state before they started playing the Game. Losers... have some of their Avatars' qualities takeover them."

"You lose your humanity..." Shaun whispered.

"Yeah... That's one way of putting it..."

"And you hope that by finishing the Game, you can turn yourself back?"

"Or at least stop playing the Game," Ben answered. He nodded towards the Game. "We have to move our Avatars to the Finish tile. We have land it exactly on it."

Looking at the board, Shaun noted how the path seemed to loop past the Finish tiles. Though the paths never returned to the start, there were still tiles in the little track that would eventually lead to the Finish again. Such was the case with his character - or Avatar. His path seemed dominated by blue and red tiles with only a few yellows and no greens at all. Only a few black tiles seemed littered on his board. "Seems like a nearly impossible task..."

"And now you're stuck playing it too..." Ben snarled at Tony. "Because of that fucking horndog!"

Shaun could only laugh, buying him a look of surprise from everyone in the room. "You know, I came over here to tell you something so that we could start this relationship without any secrets. And here you are telling me you've got a huge one right here."

"You have a secret?" Ben asked, startled.

"Yeah. I have a girlfriend."

Tony was suddenly very awake as were the rest of his pride. David Chambers narrowed his eyes and crossed his impressive arms across his chest, looming dangerously over the duo. Ben looked hurt and confused at the same time.

"It's not what you think," Shaun said, holding his hand up. "She's a slut. She and I were high school sweethearts before I came out to my parents. Her parents are super conservative and she didn't want her reputation ruined because of my coming out. So, she blackmailed me. We're a couple out in the open. She gets to sleep around and I have to cover for her. She made it painfully obvious that I can't sleep around or she'll blow the lid on me."

Tony raised his eyebrows and rubbed his chin. "What do you have to lose if you came out?"

Ben shot him a warning growl but Shaun just squeezed the big wolf's paw to calm him down. "I've really got no one in my life to support me apart from my mom and even then, she has to keep her support for me a secret from my dad who initially kicked me out. Even my best friend doesn't know I'm gay. I had no one in my life. Keyword being had." He smiled at Ben, taking his enormous paw in both of his hands. "I've got you now, Ben."

The wolf regarded him with confusion in his eyes. "I... I don't know what to say..."

"How about this?" Shaun bent down and picked up the d20. "Game on."

"You're okay with this?" Ben asked, completely shocked.

Shaun smiled and lifted his finger. "How about this: I'll play the Game with you if you come with me to Ashley's place, hit her over the head really hard and them have wild, crazy gay sex on her unconscious body. And we don't stop even if she wakes up."

David laughed. "I like this kid."

Grinning, Ben hugged Shaun, almost squeezing all of Shaun's innards out in his titanic, vice-like grip. "Deal!" Shaun managed to let out a faint squeak to tell his wolf he was about to die of suffocation and Ben released him, shooting a warning glance at Tony. "You're lucky."

It was odd... Tony didn't seem at all that remorseful. Something told Shaun that entering the Game was something Tony had hoped to achieve. There was just something about the glint in the lion's eyes that told him there was some plan behind his supposedly desperate actions.

Sighing heavily, Ben took the d20 from Shaun and handed it to Tony. "It's your turn, cat. Roll the die while I see what species my boyfriend is going to turn into."

Shaun's heart stopped for a moment. He wished - no, wanted - to be a wolf just like Ben. It would suit them so well. The two of them making a pack. Isn't that what wolves do? Mated for life and inseparable, working through their problems together and taking down their foes as one.

When he saw Ben's expression, though, he was sure that fantasy had quickly gone out the window. "What is it?"

"Four," Ben announced with another heavy sigh. "Tiger."

Tiger... Tiger...

Shaun wasn't sure how he felt about that. It wasn't according to his fantasy but then again, how often did fantasy become reality? He swallowed his disappointment and brought up a bright grin. "Great! Looks like we get to play cat and mouse, huh?"

Ben gave him a shaky smile. "Yeah... I guess so..."

Shaun held Ben tightly, a little surprised that his arms couldn't even wrap completely around the wolf. He dared a kiss on the wolf's cheek, making Ben recoil in surprise. Shaun just gave him a sly wink and nodded towards Tony. "Let's get this show on the road."

Tony nodded firmly and threw the six sided die onto the game board. It landed on a 6 and his Avatar along with its two representations of his pride strode six spaces forward proudly to a yellow square. Shaun watched keenly as the lion reached down and plucked a yellow card from the deck and showed it to everyone.

It read simply, 'Nullify Effect. Target: Self.'

From there, Tony picked up the twenty-sided die and threw that too. He was greeted by a 9. Even without saying a word, his Avatar moved forward another three spaces forward towards a black square.

Everyone in the room suddenly went rigid and exchanged horrified glances.

"What?" Shaun asked. "What's up?"

"Black tile!" Ben exclaimed, seizing Shaun and holding him tightly. "Shaun, don't panic! Everything's going to be alright!"

Shaun's entire body was pressed against Ben's hard body and on a normal day, he would have been madly aroused but the wolf's enormous strength on par with a trash compactor! "Ben! Can't breathe!"

Ben didn't let go for another twenty seconds.

At that point, Shaun had turned bright red and when he was finally dropped by the wolf. David and Ben both looked surprised while Tony just appeared relieved.

"Why aren't we being dragged into some crazy sex-based game?" Ben asked.

Tony waved his yellow card. "It said 'nullify effect'. I moved forward a few steps but that meant the effect of the tile didn't take place."

"Thank God..." The wolf turned towards Shaun. "I don't know how long you would've lasted in that fucked up arena..."

Shaun gasped for air. "That's going to need some explanation..."

David picked up the die next and rolled it in his massive hands. "Black tiles end the round like Ben explained earlier. But you've got to understand that being part beast does have its advantages. Who knows what the Game would have made you do if you had stepped in there just a human."

Shaun bristled a little. He liked to think he was at least an average athlete. He wasn't just a human. Then again, considering how easily he had been crushed by Ben, he had to concede that if we was forced to throw down against any of the other players, he was likely to lose.

David threw the dice - both of them. His d6 landed on a one and he was moved forward a single space onto a green square. His green card read, 'Single effect. Target: self.' With his corresponding 17 on the d20, that meant...

"Plus Agility," Ben read. "I guess you get to be a little more agile, dad."

"Fitting for a horse," David chuckled, handing the dice to his son.

Nodding, Ben rolled them in his massive paw and let it fly onto the board. He winced when his d6 landed on a 3 and his Avatar landed on a red tile. As he reached down and picked up the associated card, he game a whimper and tossed it aside. He spread his legs wide, shutting his eyes in anticipation. Shaun wondered why, of all things, Ben would show off his impressive eight inch red rocket but then he quickly got his answer. Thick, pulsating veins crawled all over Ben's hard member. Shaun could actually see movement of blood through them as they throbbed and filled Ben's cock with more and more blood. To his utter surprise, Ben's cock began to grow beyond its eight inch limit.

Shaun had to wipe his eyes to get rid of the disbelief. Ben bit down on his lips as his whole body shuddered with pleasure. His toes curled and his claws dug deep into the hard floorboards. The tip of his tapered cock pushed past his lower abdominals. Just like a rocket rising past the levels of the atmosphere, his cock grew and grew, lengthening and widening until it passed his belly button... rose past another row of rock-hard abdominals... and widened until Shaun was pretty darn should he couldn't hold its girth in his hand anymore.

The veins faded back into the red flesh, Ben's cock dripping precum just halfway up his highest abdominal muscles just where his diaphragm was. By Shaun's estimate Ben's cock was a good foot in length.

Curiosity got the best of him and Shaun picked up the red card Ben had casually tossed aside. It read 'Single Effect. Target: Self.' He peered at the dice again and quickly deduced that the d6 dictated movement while the d20 dictated the effect. He just wondered if there was a list of all the effects. He found it amongst the rules but before he could give them a glance over, the dice was being shoved into his hands.

"Be careful about the changes," Ben warned, panting loudly. "They're... They're addictive."

Shaun regarded the dice, wondering if he still wanted to play or not. One look at Ben and he knew he had no choice in the matter. "Don't worry. I can keep myself pretty much under control." With a deep breath, he threw the two dice and watched them clatter onto the board.

His d6 landed on a 5 and his Avatar strode forward to a blue tile. For some reason, that brought more fright from the rest of the players than any of the other changes so far. Instead of asking, he read the rules and understood their reservations. Blue tiles affected people's minds and hearts from all appearances.

With great trepidation, he reached forward and picked up a blue card. It read 'Environmental Effect. Target: Self'. Like the others, he showed the card to everyone else. Confused looks were exchanged.

"What does it mean by 'Environmental Effect'?" Ben asked. "That's a first for me."

"Probably affects the world around us somehow," answered Tony.

"Whoa! I just paid the deposit on this place!" David exclaimed.

"We've already got cum everywhere. What's the harm?"

Shaun had to hide his smile. The way the three argued... it was a like a family. A dysfunctional one, yes, but a family nonetheless. It was sweet. He picked up the d20 and gave it an absent toss towards the game board. The instant the die made the tell-tale tick-tick-tick of its plastic edge dancing against the wooden game board, all the arguing fell silent.

A seven.

"Date?" Shaun asked, regarding the pamphlet of tables. "I wonder what that -"

His phone abruptly began to buzz again. He was halfway tempted to just ignore it but something compelled him to at least look at the caller ID. It came from a number he didn't recognise. It wasn't beyond Ashley to call from her more recent sexual conquest's home to have him pick her up just for appearances. Still, he answered it anyway.

"Hello?" he began tentatively.

"Good afternoon," came the reply in a heavy French accent that was clearly forced. "This is Chateau Potpourri calling for one Shaun Chi."

Shaun held the phone at arm's length for a moment. Chateau Potpourri was one of the most expensive restaurants in the entire city. Situated in the tallest building in town, the restaurant had an amazing panoramic view of the entire cityscape and was particularly beautiful once the sun had set. He tentatively pressed it back up against his ear. "This is Shaun... How can I help?"

"We have a pre-paid reservation under your name for two people this evening at seven. Will you be able to confirm if you will be able to make it?"

Again, he held the phone out at arm's length, regarding it incredulously.

"Who is it?" Ben growled softly. "Is it your girlfriend?"

"No..." he replied, covering the receiver. "Apparently, I have a reservation for two at the most expensive restaurant in town.... Pre-paid." He gave Ben a sheepish grin. "So... Feel like having dinner with me tonight?"

It was cute how despite his jet-black fur, Ben could blush. His tail betrayed his heart as it wagged excitedly from side to side. Tony was beaming not too far away and even David looked proud of his son. When Ben looked for confirmation from either of them, their encouraging nods was all the cue Shaun needed.

To the Frenchman on the other side of his phone, he said, "Yes. I'd happily confirm that reservation."

"Excellent. We shall see you at seven then."

"Sure will!"

And he hung up, beaming brightly at Ben. He swiped the dice up and threw them at Tony. "Let's wrap this up nice and quick. I've got a hot date in about four hours and I'd like to be ready."

Ben spun towards Tony, hackles raised and fangs bared. "Hurry up and roll the dice, cat!"

Tony only laughed and had his turn, throwing the dice at the same time. His character moved forward two spaces onto another blue tile. Like before, everyone in the room froze. Even more so when the d20 landed on an 11.

'Personality Change'

Tony took a deep breath and reached down for the blue card, gently picking it up and regarding it. He sucked in some air through his fangs and read, 'Single Effect. Target: Previous Player's Choice.'

Shaun realised he was the 'previous player' and now, he had the power to change the personality of anyone he wanted. It only took a second before he was being warned by three voices about the dangers of changing another's personality. His mind was too preoccupied, however. It wandered all over quickly to changing Ashley's personality. Maybe if she was a lesbian or not such a bitch, he could be free of her. What if he made his father more accepting of his sexuality?

He had so many chains binding him down, the temptation was almost too much.

But instead...

"I want to change the personality of that cockroach," he said, pointing at the nearby roach that quickly ducked behind a dusty couch. "I want it to be brave and come out here and face the light."

As soon as he said those words, the cockroach immediately sprang back out from underneath the couch. Shaun immediately rewarded it with a heavy slam of his shoe, crushing it. He was given a stunned look from all those around him and he wondered if it was for killing a cockroach or because he had just wasted a possibly life-changing wish on a cockroach.

"What?" he asked.

Ben shook his head, a smile crawling onto his muzzle. "You could have changed the personality of anyone in the world. You could have made Ashley forget about you or made your father accepting of your orientation. But instead, you went and made a cockroach brave."

Before he knew what was happening, Shaun was wrapped in another huge bear hug from the titanic wolf, coming dangerously close to having his spine crushed. He heard Ben cry 'You're amazing, you know that?' before he was released and all he could hear was his ragged gasps for air.

"I don't think the cockroach thinks I'm so amazing," he laughed softly. "I'm not about to go twisting some person's mind without their permission. You can go all philosophical about how I changed the cockroach's mind but really, in comparison... I'd rather deal with my problems face to face with that person than go behind their back and make the problem go away."

"It's a finite universe," Tony whispered softly, his face suddenly grave and sullen. The rest of his pride looked at him worriedly. "If you push your problems away, one day, they'll just come back to haunt you."

Shaun wondered what had brought on such insight but decided not to pry. He picked up the dice and handed them to David. "You're turn, Papa Chambers."

David smiled at the nickname. "Huh... I like that."

"Better get used to it! You'll be hearing from me all the time!"

There was a twinkle in David's eyes, something that Shaun found himself being a little jealous of. It was the light of acceptance and love. For so long in his life he had been craving that look from his father. Most of his childhood as spent believing that achievement in sports and academics would earn him that look but it was never enough. He felt a warm tingle down his spine at the thought he finally got that look.

David threw the dice - both of them - and watched them roll into a 1 for the d6 and a 4 for the d20. His Avatar took a step forward onto a red tile. The equine winced loudly. "What could this be...?"

Shaun kept quiet as David reached down for a red card and his expression changed to one caught between excitement and anxiety. "Single effect. Target..." He paused, eyes lifted to Shaun. "...newest player."

"What...?"

But before Shaun could finish he felt a deep throbbing erupt from his groin. The overwhelming sensation knocked him onto his back and paralysed his entire body. A gasp caught between pleasure and pain escaped his lips - pleasure from the raging hard on that tore at his jeans and pain because his cock was rubbing up against the zipper of those very same jeans.

"Shaun!" Ben cried. As if reading his mind, the huge wolf tore off Shaun's pants, revealing his huge cock ready to explode.

Sensing freedom, Shaun's dick instantly sprayed a gallon of semen straight into the air. Ben instantly reeled back as Shaun thrust his hips into the air, nearly blinded with the sheer pleasure of having a constant stream of cum exploding from his cock. His head felt light and his entire body felt like it was floating in air. For a second, he was on Cloud Nine. When thick globules of cum splattered all over his bare legs, he came back down from Heaven with a crash.

Dizzy, Shaun let out a soft moan and lay on his back for a while. He felt the cum all over his legs start to rapidly cool and he didn't fancy having to clean himself or walk back into his apartment covered in semen. As he tried to rise, however, he felt his legs completely locked in place. A jab of fear bolted through his system as he sat up. Even with the lower half of his body stiff and immobile, he could still see the thick layer of cum that had covered his legs from toe all the way up to his hips. Thick, white gunk quickly solidified and hardened like a cocoon that encased everything from his cock down.

"Shit!" he exclaimed, trying desperately to tear at the layers of cum. Try as he might, however, it was like trying to punch steel. His knuckles ached from just a few strikes but that sensation was soon brushed away when the oddest feeling trickled up his calves. It felt like someone was massaging his muscles with warm, slick hands deep inside the cocoon made from his cum. Those warm hands were tender, loving and soothing.

A soft moan escaped him and he rolled his head back as the massage spread down to his feet and thighs. He felt tender fingers wrap around his toes, gently twisting them this way and that. Soft cracks echoed in his ears. After one particular crack, he felt the cool air brush against his big toe. Through half-glazed eyes, he caught sight of a thick, furry toe poking out from underneath the cocoon. Orange and white fur met him accompanied by the black claw of a tiger.

He gulped loudly especially when the massaging sensation crept up to his groin and he felt that odd sensation caressing his cock. Every stroke of the invisible hands beneath the cocoon made him gasp. His hips involuntarily jerked and broke more of the cocoon. His cock broke free only now, it wasn't so much his cock as it was a tiger's. Just like Tony, his cock had tiny barbs on its bright, pink flesh and it emerged from a fluffy sheath.

Slowly, he reached down and tore at the rest of the cocoon, startled at just how easily it came off. Amazed, he emerged fully with everything from the lower half of his body covered in thick orange fur decorated with black stripes and a white patch that spawned from his groin and ran down the insides of his thighs. He wiggled his toes, amazed at the sensation of the stubby appendages and how easily he could withdraw and retract his claws. The excitement got to him and he became aware of a something slapping against his leg. One glance down and he instantly became aware he now had a tail.

"This... This is trippy..." he whispered.

"Nice to have another kitty join the ranks," Tony said slyly.

A feral growl escaped Ben and he immediately wrapped his arms around Shaun. "Don't even think about it."

Raising his paws in surrender, Tony just snuggled up to his slaves and said, "That's okay. I got my cats."

Ben held Shaun tightly. "God... I'm so sorry about this..."

"Hey, hey," Shaun replied, hugging his wolf back. "It's okay. Besides, this is kind of fitting. I told you before all the strength is in my legs, remember?"

Taking strength from Shaun's courage, Ben reached down and picked up the dice. He held them tightly in his massive paws and let them drop onto the game board. His Avatar moved forward four spaces onto another red tiles as was to be expected on his path. The d20 landed on a 3.

His card read, "Double effect. Target: Next player." He wasn't really surprised. The Game seemed intent on transforming them all and then throwing trials their way. The next player was naturally... Shaun.

The half-tiger grunted as his cock went painfully erect and Ben could only watch as his boyfriend fell to the ground on his new, powerful knees. As much as he wanted to reach out and hold his lover, he could not move. Shaun grunted as his new cock spewed ropes of sticky cum all over that thick, muscular chest. There was so much semen that just like before, it covered all of Shaun's upper body.

Ben wanted to tear at that cocoon of cum especially when it began to harden but there was some primal part of him that couldn't wait to see what Shaun looked like as a full tiger. His cock was already erect and his mind was swimming with thoughts of mounting that hot, tiger ass and burying his bone. He tried to shake the thoughts from his mind but when the cocoon began to crack and break, precum was already dripping form the tip of his foot-long cock.

Orange, striped bur burst from the cocoon and a new tiger gasped for breath. His thick, fluffy fur still rippled with muscles even though it was not as clearly defined as Ben's. What clothes Shaun had worn lay torn and tattered in the remnants of the cocoon and the tiger fell to his hands and knees, gasping for breath.

Ben could not hold himself back any longer.

He pounced on Shaun with a faint bark, tackling the hot, fluffy tiger to the ground and planting his muzzle against Shaun's. Their tongues brushed against one another and their cocks pressed against one another, compressed against rock-hard abs.

A short cough brought them back to reality and Shaun was a little disappointed when Ben pulled away, blushing beneath his black fur and turning away in embarrassment. Touched by his boyfriend's spontaneity and concern, Shaun gently brushed a paw against Ben's cheek and gave his wolf one last kiss before sliding out from beneath those thick, muscular thighs.

He had to admit that the sensation of having a feline muzzle let alone a longer tongue and whiskers was very strange. All the sensations that came from his surroundings was overwhelming. He could hear the deep bass of Aiden's heavy metal through the walls. He could sense the heavy heartbeat of David Chambers and the sweaty desire from Tony though he didn't need to be a tiger to know that. Most of all, he could smell Ben.

His mate's scent was overpowered everything else in the room and there was nothing more that he desired than his mate... Mate... Mate... It felt like the right word to use.

Mate...

"I guess it's my turn, huh?" he stammered, reaching down and picking up the dice.

He regarded them for a moment and then the board ahead of him. Dominated by reds for the next six spaces, he knew someone on their team was in for another physical transformation. With a heavy breath, he threw the d6 first.

It landed on a 4 and - as predicted - he achieved another red space. As he reached down to pick up the red card, a sense of danger seeped through him. A bad feeling. When he read the card, he knew he was right.

"Replicate previous material effect. Target: All but self."

By the looks of everyone in the room, that was clearly a new effect. Then everyone around him instantly fell on their backs, letting out cries of pleasure and pain. His first instinct was to immediately leap towards Ben and as he did so, he held his wolf tightly. Ben held him back but neither of them could deny the thick, throbbing meat that was quickly growing from Ben's groin.

As much as he wanted to let go, Shaun could not. He loved Ben too much to let go. Still, he could feel that pointed, red rocket growing thicker and longer. It quickly dwarfed his own and began creeping up his abdomen, snaking its way over his abs before it settled easily in the valley of his pecs, dripping precum against the white fur on his chest. Ben was whimpering but Shaun held him tightly against him, caressing the back of his neck.

A cry from behind them made them both turn as Tony's cock let loose a fountain of cum to rival Shaun's own transformation. The pool of cum landed in front of him, his legs spread wide like he was giving birth. His two slaves kept him from trashing about in pleasure. From the pool, another paw rose and Shaun had to keep himself from losing it again there and then when a third member of Tony's pride came into fruition.

Like the others, he was not as big as Tony. In fact, this new addition seemed the youngest of the trio, not even having a mane yet still being very sexually active. The young lion grinned at his master and instantly went down on Tony's cock, licking up the residual drops of cum that sprayed out of the bigger lion's cock.

A loud grunt to their left brought their attention to David who had doubled over and was gasping for breath. Thick ropes of precum were pouring out of his muzzle and a faint gurgling came from his throat. He fell on his side, eyes rolled into the back of his head with his trio of cocks at his groin fully erect. His entire body went into quakes of pleasure. His jaw opened slightly and from the depths of his long, equine muzzle emerged a fourth, thick cylinder of mottled equine meat. David could barely let out any grunts of pleasure as the eight inch member emerged fully from his throat and began spewing precum all over the floor. All of the sudden, the fourth cock-tongue let out a violent burst of growth, jutting out another two inches. A blast of cum exploded from the slit, spraying his equine seed all over the floor. His other three members joined in the celebration, bursting one at a time with even more strength than the last. The spray was powerful enough that it showered Tony and his pride, coating them in a white, sticky mess. Some landed on both Ben and Shaun but only faint drizzles as they were far from the line of fire. Across the room, the pride of lions played in the shower like kids dancing in front of a open fire hydrant in the middle of summer.

"This would be so hot if it wasn't so frightening," Shaun admitted. "Do they have names?"

Ben merely whimpered softly. "Steven and Eli... Third one... I don't know..."

"I'm calling him Xavier!" Tony exclaimed before diving for Xavier's tonsils.

Chuckling softly, Shaun poked at his mate's cock. "You want to get off don't you?"

"I don't want to seem like a horndog... but fuck this is hot..." Ben admitted.

Smiling, Shaun pulled away from Ben and pushed his mate to the ground, cradling that cock in the crevasse of his pecs. "Let me help you with that."

Whatever protests Ben may have had vanished the moment Shaun wrapped his newly formed muzzle around that thick, wolf cock. He found it strangely easy to wrap his lips around his fangs to avoid injury. The salty taste of his mate's cock drove him wild. As he rubbed his rough tongue against the sensitive flesh, he felt Ben twitch and jerk, desperately trying to make the sensation last.

Pleased at himself, Shaun reached down and cupped his mate's tennis-ball sized testicles and cradled them lovingly, encouraging the flow of semen through that sixteen inch cock. He drew long, deep breaths that formed a vacuum easily in his muzzle, drawing more and more precum from his mate. Thick veins pulsated all over Ben's cock and he could actually feel them pumping blood through that thick member every time he pressed his tongue against one.

Ben, finally giving in to his need, wrapped his thick, muscular legs around Shaun's shoulders and drew him close. Shaun had never been able to suck cock before he had met Ben and sixteen inches was too much to start off with. Still, he tried and took as much of that cock as he could, choking a little as he fought his gag reflex. Having that warm precum drip straight down his throat drove him wild.

With his other paw, he reached down towards his own cock and shivered at the touch of those alien, leathery pads against his barbed cock. Each barb was like a sensitive nerve and each time he stroked his member, it shot a fresh wave of pleasure through him. A rhythm quickly formed itself as he sucked and stroked in tandem. Ben began thrusting, growling in the most arousing, feral way possible. The air quickly grew thick with his scent and Shaun took a step back, letting the tiger take over.

The tiger greedily devoured that cock, pumping his own member and loving this muscular hunk of a wolf. Precum poured out of both their cocks, thickening with every passing second. The wolf could not help but start thrusting, his cock's rip pushing lightly against Shaun's tight ass, a foreshadowing of the future they would share.

Ben suddenly tensed and arched his beck, letting out an ear-splitting howl. Hot cum exploded from his monstrous cock, slamming hard into the tiger and knocking Shaun back into control. Shaun tried to pull away but was forced to take two gulps of cum before he could break free. His world turned white for a moment. A laugh escaped him as he wiped the cum form his eyes.

His laughter inspired him to crawl up to Ben, holding his dazed mate in his cum, covered arms and gluing them together with the leftover semen pouring down his chest. Ben managed a goofy smile as their muzzled hovered close to one another. Their lips met and in that moment, the world did not matter.

The moment was short lived, however.

A mix of pleasure and pain exploded all over Shaun's body and he had to pull away with a grunt. Thick veins popped up all over his body, pouring blood into every muscle in his body. He doubled over to the startled cry of his mate. However, a rising moan built in his throat as the pain quickly faded and pleasure took front seat. Every muscle in his body felt warm and pumped. The veins thickened his forearms and pumped his biceps full of blood. His back broadened to support the size of his new arms with his chest and abs pushing past through all the thick, fluffy fur to shoe clearly just how ripped he was. His already massive thighs bulged out and outshone Ben's.

His cock went painfully rigid as all the cum poured up its length and got ready to explode. However, just as it was about to burst forth, the growth caught up and pulled the tip of his cock away from the rising level of semen. He came close to orgasm but again his cock pulled away. A third time, he almost came but his cock grew another inch, rising to 14 inches of pure, feline manhood.

At last, he was freed and his cock shot a salty spray of his seed onto Ben's chiselled chest.

The entire experience quickly left Shaun exhausted and he toppled over into Ben's arms.

"Shit..." Ben murmured. "I totally forgot..."

"Forgot... what...?" Shaun gasped, purring softly as he rubbed his cheek against Ben's chiselled abs.

"My cum. One of the abilities I got for winning a round of the Game was that my cum would make anyone who drank it more buff. It would stimulate muscle growth apparently..."

"Not that I'm complaining..." Shaun said, flexing his bicep. He was pleased to see the veins popping up against the fur. He could never achieve that level of muscle definition even as a human. "But I a warning would have been nice."

"Okay... Then fair warning. I apparently emit pheromones that turn people into sex-crazed zombies if they are low on willpower."

"You don't need them," Shaun chuckled, staggered to a crouching position. He gave Ben a light kiss before another cough made them turn towards the other players.

Tony was grinning as he held the dice in his paws. "My turn, I believe."

Before any of them could even get ready, Tony threw the dice. His d6 landed on a 3, moving his Avatar to a yellow space. His d20 landed on a 15 which - if Shaun remembered correctly - allowed him to move forward two spaces unless the card said differently. When Tony picked up the yellow card, he let out a loud 'Aw man'.

"Reverse effect. Target: Self."

That meant Tony's Avatar was forced to move back two spaces...

... onto another red card.

Fearing for another transformation, Shaun found himself at the limit of his mental endurance. He could only imagine what would come next especially if he was the target.

Tony picked up another red card. "Oh boy... Single effect. Target: Previous player."

Again, Shaun was the target and he braced himself for Tony's next roll. The lion picked up the d20 and mouthed 'sorry' to the tiger before letting it roll onto the ground.

It landed on a 6.

From the looks of everyone in the room, this was new. Shaun quickly checked the table of effects.

"Legs...?"

A sharp cracking exploded from his sides just above his hips. First there was pain as he was forced to straighten up. Large, fleshy bulbs grew out from his sides, each one first shapeless and appearing like a tentacle. Then that cracking grew even louder and he could see bones start to twist through the flesh, giving them shape. Orange striped fur quickly consumed the pink tentacles as they grew outwards. The bones of paws and toes quickly pushed at the limits of the appendages. Muscle bubbled through the fur, making them just as thick as his current legs.

A cry escaped him as his spine abruptly lengthened and he found himself rising further and further off the ground. The weight of the new appendages erupting from his torso quickly overbalanced him and he topped forward. The floor did not strike him but he did feel his new paws press up against the floor. Gasping for breath, pure pleasure pulsated through his new legs. Like activating muscles he never knew he had, he straightened up on all four of his legs, surprisingly enjoying the feeling of being a sort of tiger-centaur. Each of his legs grew a little more in size and width to support his enormous frame.

As he turned to gaze over his shoulder, his suspicions were proved correct as his upright back quickly merged with the lower half of a quadruped tiger. His ropey tail lashed out behind his firm rear and his cock dripped precum just beneath his rear pair of legs. From the front, his chiselled torso melded perfectly with a second pair of legs, strong and muscular, made for chasing down and hunting prey.

"Damn..." he whispered, amazed and a little started at the sudden transformation. "This isn't good."

"I think you look fucking sexy," David Chambers grunted. His cock-tongue had retreated back into his muzzle by the gurgling that echoed in his voice, it was quickly coming back. His eyes were half-glazed in pleasure and he was clearly not thinking straight.

"Yeah but now I can't reach," Shaun answered with a dry chuckle. "My cock is all the way back there." He hiked a thumb over his shoulder. He let out a loud yelp when he felt a warm paw seize his cock and a thick, hot rod press up against his ass. Behind him, Ben grinned broadly.

"Maybe I can help with that?"

Tempting as it was, Shaun knew he had to be the voice of reason in this Game. "Maybe later, stud. Come on, Papa Chambers. Your turn."

"Call me 'Papa Dave'," David answered, tongue hanging out as he reached for the dice. "Sounds more sexy..." He tossed the dice absently into the air and went right back to stroking his erect cocks. It seemed he was having a little trouble as he tried to keep each of his cocks erect. With five penises and only two hands, he clearly needed help.

Shaun watched the dice land on the board, yielding a 2 for a d6 and a 19 for the d20.

Not that it mattered.

David's cocky - literally - Avatar strode forward two spaces.

Onto a black tile.

"Uh-oh..." Shaun whispered.

He wasn't sure what to expect and when the enveloping darkness that sprang from the Game consumed them all, he felt fear grip his heart. Some comfort in the darkness was that Ben still gripped his cock.

Shaun held his breath.

Lights erupted from above them and he found himself standing in what appeared to be a large, metallic hallway right beside Tony and his pride and Papa Dave. Ben let go of his cock and anxiously came to stand beside him, whimpering loudly.

"The game is: the Gauntlet," came the resounding woman's voice. "Players must progress through a five challenges that will test their wit, stamina and agility. Failure to pass will lead to elimination. The player to make it to the end is declared the winner. Warning: all players can lose this challenge."

Shaun gulped loudly. "What a way to kick off my first challenge..."

The lights instantly went out again, plunging them into darkness. Amongst the cries of surprise and gasps of shock, Shaun heard the screeching of metal and gears being moved. When the lights sprang back on, several ropes were presented in front of them and there was a pool of sticky, white fluid separating them from another ledge.

"Gauntlet Phase 1: Leap of Faith. Players must choose a rope. One rope is designed to give way. Players must swing across the pool of... Oh for... Must I really?"

Shaun exchanged glances with the others as a second voice came from wherever the announcer was, this one masculine, commanding and yet strangely youthful.

"Say it."

The woman's voice sighed. "Players must swing across the pool of... cum_. Those who fall lose. Begin."_

"That... was strange..." Tony said, his brow furrowing. "Either that was a really poor recording or there's someone controlling this thing..."

"Nothing to it though," Shaun said, padding forward. He staggered a little, still unused to walking on all fours. It was a little odd coordinating all four legs at the one time but he quickly got the hang of it. He took the rope that looked the biggest and strongest of all since he guessed he was the biggest of the group now. "Wish me luck."

He took the rope, brought it back a couple of steps and then charged. The air flew past his ears as he swung across the pool. His tail brushed up against the pool and he shivered at its cold touch but he the opposite edge came within jumping distance. He leapt off and landed deftly on all fours.

"Hey! I think I'm getting the hang of this!"

The rope he took slid back up into the black ceiling, hidden from view.

"Good job, son!" Dave shouted and he quickly took up the next rope. He swung across easily, landing right beside Shaun with ease.

As Ben got ready for his turn, Shaun said, "Did you mean that? The 'son' bit, I mean?"

Dave gave him a surprised look. His cock-tongue was nowhere to be seen and even his three groin members had retreated into their sheathes. He could not give an answer as Ben came to land beside them.

Suddenly, it all came down to Tony and his pride. Tony was the first to take a leap of faith and he made it across with ease. For some reason, everyone on the group seemed relieved and Shaun guessed it was because now the risk fell onto Tony's clones.

The eldest of the clones made it across - Steven.

Then came the middle child, Eli.

Eli swung across... but the rope immediately gave way halfway through. The poor lion gave a cry of shock as he plunged into the still surface of the cum pool. He thrashed for a couple of minutes before the pool began to close, a steel surface closing over it and letting the last slave, Xavier cross unhindered.

"He'll be alright, right?" Shaun asked.

"He'll come back next round," Ben grunted, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Let's -"

The lights flicked off again.

More screeching and grinding of metal.

When the lights came back on, they were presented with a narrow hallway with several holes embedded into the sides.

"Gauntlet Phase 2: Dart Hall. Players must reach the other end of the hallway without succumbing to the dangers of the hallway."

"I've seen this movie before," Shaun sighed. "Poison darts come out from the holes. We got to make it across without getting hit." Realising that he was best equipped to make the run being on all fours and Ben was the bulkiest and probably the slowest, he said, "Ben, hop on."

The wolf gave a startled yelp. "What?"

"Jump on. Tony and his pride are pretty light on their feet and your dad got that agility boost, right? You're the slowest here."

"But... I'll slow you down!"

"Trust me." Shaun winked at his mate. "All my strength is in my legs, remember?"

Gulping loudly, Ben leapt onto Shaun's back, riding him like... well... Like a horse. Shaun could already feel his mate's cock stirring in his sheath, brushing up against his spine. Grinning, he readied himself for the dash.

He gave a ferocious roar that he never knew he had and charged, the others just a few steps behind. He heard loud puffs of air exploding out of the holes. He dared a glance over his shoulder and blinked a couple of times as long strands of what looked like sticky string erupted from each of the traps. One such string landed on his chest and he expected it to burn. Instead, though, he was overwhelmed with a sudden need to jack off. It was almost paralysing especially when his cock erupted from its sheath and began dripping precum all over his legs. Each step he took, his cock slapped against his thighs.

Somehow, he powered through the experience and landed on the safe end of the hallway. Ben instantly jumped off and slinked off to the corner where he seized his cock and went wild. Shaun thought cute as his boyfriend sprayed his load all over the wall, thick, muscular body shuddering with delight.

Then he remembered the others.

He turned to do a quick head count.

All three lions were there...

... But Papa Dave...

"Shit..."

David Chambers was stuck in the middle of the hallway, grunting and letting out cries of pure ecstasy as ropes of that sticky string lathered him from all directions. All his cocks were out and erect. Even without stimulation, he was pouring cum out like a fountain. Each orgasm was more powerful than the last with a pool quickly forming around him. Within a minute, he was fully covered in the string and his cocks were still shooting loads far and wide.

"Fuck..." Shaun heard Ben grunt. "Dad... Sorry..."

The lights went out and Shaun reached out to hold his mate.

When the lights flicked back on, there was no sign of David just single metal beam that connected them over a treacherous pit. Deep in the depths of that very same pit, something writhed. A long, thick, purple tentacle lashed out and came dangerously close to the platform the five of them stood on. Cued by that one tentacle, others sprang from the pit, forming a venerable forest of grasping tentacles.

"Gauntlet Phase 3: Balance Beam. Players must carefully traverse the single beam to reach the other side. Tentacles will attempt to pull you off balance."

"Fuck," Shaun said. Being a quadruped didn't exactly give him the best chance of making it through this one. Both Tony and Ben seemed to realise this.

Ben then strode forward and crouched slightly. "Hop on."

It was Shaun's turn to be surprised. "What...? You can't carry me!"

"I damn well can try. Hop on."

Touched beyond imagining, Shaun leapt onto Ben's shoulders, his forelegs draped over his mate's shoulders while his lower legs curled around Ben's thighs. With surprising strength, Ben lifted himself and Shaun with his powerful thighs. Step by step, he began to traverse the treacherous beam.

Behind them, Tony and his pride quickly followed suit. They made slow progress but despite Shaun's immense weight, Ben did not falter and kept his balance. Whether this was symbolic or not, Shaun did not care. Ben was willing to carry him across a path where if one of them fell, they both would. That was devotion and Shaun swore to himself he would do exactly the same for his mate.

Suddenly, a tentacle reached out from the pit and lashed out at him, catching him on the cheek. He was thrown to the left. He felt Ben start to lose balance -

Then he felt a paw seize his rump and pull him back to the right. Behind him, he saw Tony and his clones reaching over one another to keep them both standing. Not for the first time, he could see something beyond Tony's horniness. Ben regained his balance and grunted, a form of thanks, and began to continue moving. Tony smiled and smacked Shaun's ass one last time before letting go.

The tentacles, however, increased their assault after having a taste of victory. Several of them rose up at once just as they were but a few seconds from the ledge. All lunged at Ben, hoping to seize the wolf and pull him and Shaun into the depths of their horrors.

Shaun braced himself for what was no doubt going to be some form of tentacle rape.

Then... there was a flash of gold.

Steven threw himself at the tentacles and they eagerly seized him, wrapping around him like a cocoon.

"Go!" the lion cried before he was pulled into the pit.

Ben took the last few steps onto the ledge following by Tony and the last remaining slave, Xavier.

"Fuck!" Ben shouted as Shaun leapt off him.

"I thought you weren't worried about him," Shaun asked.

"Still... Doesn't make it right..." Ben shook his head sadly. "Let's get this over with... Two more to go."

Lights went out and lights came back on.

This time, they were just in a plain hallway that stretched endlessly behind them and stretched for about a kilometre in front of them to end at an open gateway.

"Gauntlet Phase 4: Cum Run. Players must race against a flood of... semen before the door closes on the other side. Your time starts... now."

No one got a chance to react before there was a thunderous boom. Ben and the Xavier turned around in time to see an enormous wave of white fluids come pouring out of nowhere towards them. Shaun and Tony were already charging down the hallway before they realised the other two weren't coming.

"Hurry up!" Tony shouted.

Shaun held out his paw for his mate, knowing that if Ben jumped back onto his back, they would stand a better chance. To his surprise though, Ben crashed into him, planting their lips together before pushing him forward.

"Go!"

Shaun didn't know what to say and could only run as fast as his legs would take him. On all fours, he was faster than anyone else in the group and he easily outran Tony and put an enormous gap between himself and rushing waters. A cry from behind him told him Xavier had fallen. He didn't dare turn back as he knew Ben would be next.

"Shit!" he heard Tony shout.

Ahead of them, the gateway was starting to shut.

They were twelve second away from the doors.

He dared a glance behind his back. Ben was about three seconds behind them. The wave of cum just two seconds behind him. "Come on, hun! You can make it!"

"Just go!" Ben shouted, his voice sounding winded. He gasped as he clutched his side and fell to his knees.

"No!"

Shaun made to turn around but Tony suddenly leapt onto his back and kicked his sides. Some primal instinct in him made him rear back and bolt forward faster than before. Even then, he still could see Ben being consumed by the flood of cum in his mind and tears formed in his eyes.

He made it through the gate without incident and when it shut behind him, he immediately threw off Tony and slammed his fists against the iron.

"FUCK!" he roared. He then spun back around and growled at the much smaller Tony. "Why did you do that!? I could have saved him!"

"Or you could have fallen and none of us would have made it through," Tony answered sternly, his eyes strangely serious.

"You don't understand!" Shaun cried, wiping the tears from his eyes. "He risked his life for me and I... I didn't even..."

Tony reached forward, having to stand on the tip of his toes to rest his paws on Shaun's shoulders. "Shaun, listen to me. He's not dead. This is just a game. Just a game."

Shaun let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes just as the lights went out. He only opened them when he heard the boom of the lights flicking back on. What he saw horrified him.

In front of them stood what looked like some sort of depraved sex chair. Straps designed to spread legs apart as wide as possible and hold up wrists for full exposure hung around the chair. A dildo hung dangerously beneath the open gap in the chair's seat and there was a penis pump hanging just above where the user's cock would stand. There was even a tube attached to the end of a dildo ready to pump cum down the victim's throat.

"What the fuck...?"

"Gauntlet Final Phase: Sacrifice. Players must sacrifice one of their own to sit in the chair. The round will end when a player is placed in the chair and is designated the loser."

"What kind of messed up shit is this!?"

Tony let out a bitter laugh. "Someone's sick idea of being funny," he answered. "Think about it, there has to have been at least two people that made it through this thing. In each of the previous rounds, more than one person could have fallen. Imagine what would have happened if only one guy made it through here."

"Everyone would lose..."

Tony nodded grimly and strode towards the chair. "Yup."

"Wait! What are you doing!?" Shaun exclaimed, seizing his shoulder.

The lion brushed away his concern and his paw. "You remember what Ben said, right? You have to be the guy that saves us all. The guy that remains human the longest." He sat in the chair and the machines began to whirl loudly. The straps curled around his wrists and legs, lifting him up slightly. The penis pump quickly latched itself to his cock and he moaned softly as the dildo pressed itself up his hole.

"Besides," the lion said through a shaky grin. "Not like a hunky taur like you could fit in a chair like this anyway..." Any other words were blocked off as the tube was pressed down his throat and the machine began its work.

Shaun shut his eyes...

"Challenge complete. The winner is Player Shaun Chi."

*****

When Shaun next opened his eyes, he found himself naked and sprawled on the floor of David's apartment. All signs of their round of the Game were gone except for the fact that they were without clothing. He grunted softly, rubbing the back of his head. As he sat up, he felt something brush up against his pecs and drop to the ground.

It was a card.

Curious, he picked it up.

It read: "Congratulations. As the winner of this round, you have gained the Infection Ability. Any who are injected with your semen will immediately begin transforming into a form reflective of your Avatar. Effects are temporary and last for twenty-four hours."

Shaun regarded his cock and realised he just had the makings of an epidemic on his hands. Then again, as he looked at the huge Ben lying a few short feet away, he wondered if that was such a bad thing. He leaned down and paused a moment when he took stock of just how big Ben had gotten. His mate was now just as big as he was - footballer size. Professional footballer size.

"Wow..." he whispered and had to turn his cock away as he remembered he could turn Shaun into a tiger-taur with the smallest stray of semen.
