I felt his hands undoing my pants as his mouth pulled away from my nipple. I helped him he pulled down my jeans and panties past my knees, leaving my bald pussy exposed to the air. Quickly Jason began kissing me lower and lower, tracing down my breast, across my stomach, and to my inner thighs. His large fingers worked at my feminine folds, tracing their moist contours and sending waves of tickling pleasure up my spine.
My penis began to stiffen and draw itself loose from its hiding spot. In moments, Jason's other hand was working its slippery surface up to a fully engorged size, prominently erect and throbbing as it stood the length of my forearm out from my crotch.
I collapsed back against the bale of hay I was resting against as the pleasure overtook me. Gasping in bliss, I moaned my delight as I ran my fingers through Jason's wavy, dark hair.
As I lay there breathless, I felt Jason take my penis into his mouth, gently licking and sucking at it. The pleasure doubled as he worked his magic over its length. I didn't picture him as a bisexual, but with the amount of skill he displayed as he played his tongue over my cock, he must have had practice. Without warning he repositioned his body onto his hands and knees and swallowed my cock, cramming its meaty girth down into his throat.
Ecstacy exploded behind my eyes as the room went dark. The feeling of bliss ravaging my body as he deep-throated me. The calf continued to forcefully suckle my tit, heightening the tickling sensations of Jason's hands even further as he continued to work his fingers through my folds.
I felt a familiar bliss as my penis began to pump load after load. The rapture of orgasm called to my milk as well and I felt my breasts begin to swell with their nectar. I ran my hands over their swelling surface as I gasped and cried out in pleasure. The calf continued to suckle, repositioning itself as my breasts inflated. Soon they were too large for me to reach my own nipple, fully filling my arms like a pair of large beach balls.
As my pleasure crested and began to come down, I felt Jason pull away from my crotch, his actions on my pussy had stopped, but I couldn't see what he was doing down there with my breasts so inflated as they were, and a baby cow wrestling atop them for food. I lay there in the afterglow of bliss, running my hands through my hair and catching my breath.
"Oh my God, Mercury! Look!" I heard Jason say.
Pushing the calf away I managed to sit up again. The calf seemed to want to wrestle me as it tried for my nipple again, so I held my large breast up for it at a different angle. Like a magnet, the calf suckled my nipple again and I looked to see what Jason was talking about.
I wasn't ready for what I saw. There was Jason, kneeling between my legs, clutching at his stomach. His shirt was pulled up over a massive swell of flesh which resembled an absurdly pregnant belly. His arms could barely reach around the girth of his swollen abdomen, as if he had swallowed an exercise ball.
"Oh my God! Jason, are you alright?!"
"I... I think so." He ran his hands over the large surface of his belly. "It doesn't hurt at all, it just feels really weird." He paused. "And really good."
"Is that normal though? I mean, has this ever happened before?"
"I'm going to be alright. I feel fine. In fact, I feel better than fine. I'm actually more horny than I've ever been! God, this is turning me on!" His arms were hugging the large sphere of flesh, squeezing it and sending ripples of movement through its surface.
"What? Seriously? I mean, I like it too, but I thought you'd be mad."
He looked at me with a raised eyebrow like I was crazy. "Why on Earth would I be mad? This is incredible!"
"I mean... well... with what happened to your mom and everything. It's take her a few days to start to get rid of it and in the process her breasts grew by a great deal. I hope it doesn't turn you into some sort of freak. I just thought you... might have been mad at me."
"No. I'm not mad at all. I don't think anything that feels this good can be a bad thing." He looked down at his rubbery belly again. "Besides, if it makes me into something more beautiful to you, I'd do it in a heartbeat."
I wasn't sure what to say to that, so I simply let the comment slide. It wasn't that I didn't like Jason, I just wasn't into men. At least... I thought so. I explored his swollen belly with my hand. Its surface was rubbery and soft. It felt like a giant, jiggly water balloon as I rubbed my hand across it.
"Can you even stand up? Jenna said it was really heavy when I did it to her."
"Yeah, it's heavy alright." He shifted his weight a bit. "But I think I can stand."
"I'll help you up."
I pushed the calf away and shrank down my breasts, pushing their milk back into the spirit world to store it. Standing again, I pulled my pants back on and my shirt and bra back in place. Stooping in front of Jason, I gently cradled his belly and pulled him upwards. He was extremely light to me. With my strength I lifted him as easily as one might a small child.
Following his belly to his feet, Jason cradled his girth in his arms and teetered on his feet, finding his balance.
"Got it?"
"Yeah, let me try walking a bit."
I slow let go of him as he stood there, his massive belly jiggling. Taking small steps, he managed to waddle around the barn a few paces, learning his balance again.
"I think we need to get you home. I don't want that farmer to find you like this."
"I agree."
"I'll go get the car and pull it around to the barn door, just be ready to hop inside."
Jason nodded and I opened the door a crack, peeking outside. I saw the old man on his tractor way off in the fields, slowly dragging some sort of machine behind him. At this distance, I doubted he would be able to see us very well.
Quickly making my way over to the car, I started it up and brought it over to the barn door, keeping the distance between the passenger door and barn as small as possible. I helped Jason waddle the few paces to the car and climb into the seat. His belly loomed above him in his lap as he cradled it in his arms. I had to squeeze the door shut as it was almost too wide to fit entirely. Jason didn't complain as his belly bulged against the tight confines of the seat.
I hurried around to the driver's side and hopped in, starting up the car. I tried to drive casually off the property, as if nothing were wrong, but I really didn't want to have to explain anything if anyone happened to see Jason. My fears were for nothing, it seemed, as we made it to the road safely and began the trip back to Jenna's.
The whole trip home, Jason barely took his eyes off of his exposed belly. He had an excited look in his eyes, almost like a kid on Christmas morning. I was worried he might change into something he wouldn't like. Something which might make him unable to go out in public. I didn't want that to happen to anyone; to be thought of as a freak. I knew I was a freak. Even Kate was too, but at least we could hide in plain sight. If Jason ended up growing breasts, I didn't know what he might be able to do to keep his old life.
When we got home, I attempted to help Jason out of the small car. The bucket seat and the low frame proved to be too much for him to maneuver out of, so I simply scooped him up like a child and carried him inside like a reverse newly-wed couple. Laying him down on the couch in the basement, I handed him the remote and made sure he was comfy. Being as big as he was, I was sure moving for him was a chore.
"Okay, I'm going to go call Kate and Jenna." I said. "Maybe they'll know what to do."
"No need for that. I already know what to do." Jason smiled at me.
"What?" I knelt down on the floor in front of him.
"We finish where we left off."
Without another word, he rolled his massive belly off the couch and down onto the floor. On his hands and knees, he crawled over to me, his swollen girth shaking and jiggling underneath him, brushing the carpet as he moved and extending out from his sides by a few inches on each side. In a cat-like fashion, he crawled over to me.
He paused with his face only a few inches from mine, his dark eyes set on mine. Then he kissed me. Passionately our lips met as we wrestled lightly on the floor. Before our kiss was complete, we were helping each other out of our clothes, quickly discarding them for the feeling of our smooth skin rubbing against each other. His engorged belly was pushed up into my lap as well. The smooth, curved surface felt warm and soft as it pressed against me.
Jason's hand pushed against my belly, urging me to lay backwards. I arched my back, coming to rest on my shoulders with my feet still tucked under my butt. My crotch was thrust upwards as he buried his face between my legs.
In the tickling throws of pleasure, I grabbed at his hair, pulling his face closer into my pussy. My cock unfurled again and Jason's hands wound over its surface as his lips and tongue satisfied my dripping folds. Gasping in pleasure, I released my milk back into me, flooding my breasts immensely, filling my arms with their milky-soft bulk. I hugged them up into my face, loving the warm pressure of their softness and kissing them gently. My hands played across their vast surface.
I felt Jason's mouth take in my penis once more, again expertly licking and suckling it. Fear suddenly washed through me, however. I didn't want to further inflate him. He was only a kinfolk, and I was worried for his safety.
"Wha... Jason no!" I pushed his head away and scooted backwards from him. "I can't let you do that."
"Why not, Mercury? Please... Please do this for me. I know you're scared, but something tells me everything will be fine. Please trust me." He climbed back over my crotch. "Please do this for me. I don't care what happens after tonight, but I know it will be alright. Please... Please let me love you." His eyes glistened with a pleading look in them. I imagined the same look on my face as I begged Kate to let me please her.
Slowly, I opened my legs for him once more.
He took my shaft into his mouth once more, eager to pleasure me. I collapsed back on the floor again and allowed the feelings to wash over me. I couldn't deny him any longer. I traced my hands down my vastly swollen bust, over my tummy, and caressed his face as he worked his magic on my cock. The pleasure quickly built to a peak once more and felt both milk flood into my breasts and semen flood into my penis.
Gasping in bliss my arms hugged as far around my bust as I could reach, feeling the swelling pressure inside them as I grew even larger. The pure ecstacy of swelling up with milk was something I imagined Jason was feeling even as he drank in load after load of my semen. The feeling was something I wouldn't want to deny anyone. If Jason wanted to be stuffed the way Kate and I could be, I was going to give him everything. I never wanted the feeling in my breasts to stop, and I was sure Jason felt the same way about himself as he grew.
Finishing my orgasm, I remained on my back as Jason worked me into another one. Time and again, my cock exploded in bliss as he drank in my fluids. My milk flooded into my breasts each time, swelling them ever larger as I lay underneath them on the floor. They towered over me like twin barrels, their soft bulk rolling and crushing against each other as they gently smothered me. God, how I loved the feeling.
Before long, I felt the pressure of wetness at my nipples and knew I needed to transform or I'd start leaking milk. I had already swollen up with enough of my nectar to completely fill my Homid form. I felt the soft bulk of Jason's belly over my legs as I pulled out from under him. Reluctantly, my cock slid out of his mouth as I wormed my way out from under him. I felt his hands rub my legs seductively.
Concentrating on my Labrix form, I quickly changed. I seemed to be getting better at it. With only a few short seconds of concentration, I felt the changes begin. My legs lengthened in Jason's grasp and my fur flushed over my body. My feet quickly lengthened and turned into my black hooves. I felt my tail worm down from just above my rump and grow down between my legs. My ears lengthened and grew while my horns sprouted from my scalp. Teats sprouted from my breasts as they rearranged themselves into an udder shape, even as two more large lumps grew from my belly and swelled up, forming into udders and sharing the milk in my body among the four of them. The pressure of milk at my nipples waned as the bulk of my milk redistributed itself.
Wrestling with the bulk of tit-flesh on my chest, I managed to roll over onto my knees. Doing so allowed me to see Jason. Or what had become of him.
Resting on the ground in front of me was an obscenely swollen Jason. His body had swollen so large he looked like a large bean-bag chair. His arms and legs were plumped up down to his ankles and his wrists, leaving this hands and feet normal sized. His head was normal as well, but his body was swelling up around it, trapping it in a collar of swollen flesh. He looked like a puffed up Michelin Man. His torso had swollen up and rounded out considerably. No longer was it just his belly protruding, but now even his back had rounded and puffed out, turning him slowly into a sphere.
"Oh wow!" I didn't know what to say.
"Please don't stop, Mercury." He pleaded as his eyes glistened with moisture. "This feels better than anything I've ever known. Please... Please..."
"Oh, Jason..." I didn't know what to do. I was worried he would be hurt, or never regain his real shape, or even pop. I didn't know what was happening, but the look on his face told me he was in no pain.
"I love you, Mercury."
"I... I love you too, Jason. I'm just worried for your safety." I pushed my milk back into the spirit world, collapsing my udders down to their smallest size so I could maneuver up to Jason. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
Jason's eyes locked onto mine. "I can feel something in me changing. Something wonderful. Please do this for me, Mercury. Please."
I knelt down in front of him again, pressing my udders into his swollen back as I angled my cock up to his mouth. His puffed up arms caressed my legs as he quickly took in my penis, eager to suck me off yet again. His hands felt wonderful as they stroked my furred hips and rump.
Closing my eyes and resting atop him, I let the pleasure wash over me again. The truth was, I was anxious to know exactly what would happen when he got big enough. He had said something was changing inside him. I just hoped he would be alright. Quickly, the bliss built up again, and I found myself orgasming sooner than I expected. My cock pulsed and pumped load after load into Jason's throat as he quickly swallowed, eager for every drop of semen I could give him.
My udders began filling with more milk, but I concentrated on keeping them small. Every few orgasms I would push the milk back into the spirit world, filling up whatever reservoir I had there. Mobility, I knew, was going to be a problem soon, as Jason grew ever larger and larger.
After another hour or so, I opened my eyes to check our progress. I still felt him hungrily suckling my cock, but his body was becoming something out of a cartoon. Like a balloon, his whole body was rounding out, leaving only his hands, feet, and head exposed. I imagined his body somehow swimming in a sac of his own skin and hundreds of gallons of my semen, his arms, legs, and head held outwards like the Leonardo Da Vinci's depiction of the man inside the circle. His body was becoming so large now that his hands, feet, and head were actually pulling his skin back inwards. The bloat of his body straining around them. After a few more orgasms, he was so swollen he could only wiggle his hands and feet.
Pulling loose from him again, I checked that he was still okay.
"How do you feel?" I asked, kneeling next to his swollen body where his head was. His face was trapped in a dimple on the outrageously swollen surface of his body. It was like his head was trapped in the belly-button of a giant belly.
"I'm... almost... there." His voice was a bit strained. I couldn't tell if it was distress or bliss, however. "I can... feel it. Something wonderful... is happening to me."
"Are you sure you're okay though?"
"There's... no pain." He licked his lips. "I just... feel so full. Just a bit... more. Please, Mercury... Please do it."
"I don't know how much more I have to give. I'm feeling pretty spent, but I'll try, Jason. As long as you're okay."
Standing now to my hooves, I rolled Jason back a bit, angling his face upwards a bit towards my crotch. I poked my cock towards his face again and he took it in once more, suckling madly. Leaning into his bulk, I pressed my udders against him and lowered my cheek down on top of them. I closed my eyes and let him drink his fill.
Gasping in pleasure, I quickly came to orgasm again, my cock expelling load after load into him as I cried out in bliss. Twice more I managed to orgasm into him, pumping him full with my semen. On the fourth orgasm, something strange happened.
Halfway through, I felt a ripple shimmer across Jason's body like a water balloon being slapped. I withdrew my cock as the last few spurts of my orgasm splattered into Jason. I was suddenly worried he was about to burst. Drawing back from him and pushing the last of my milk back into the spirit world, I opened my eyes and saw Jason's large body. Just his body. Somehow his hands, feet, and head had disappeared! All that was left was a shiny, flesh-colored sphere fully 6 feet in diameter resting on the floor in front of me. There were no marks on it at all.
"Jason?" I called to him. "Jason, can you hear me?"
Nothing. No movement from the jiggly sphere at all. I rocked it gently, rolling it a bit to see if his face somehow could have been on the bottom. Again, nothing. Not a distinguishing mark on the surface at all. Nothing to tell that this had once been a person. The ball was the color of Jason's skin, a yellowish flesh-color befitting his Asian heritage, but other than that, nothing.
Suddenly panic flooded through me that I had killed him. Or that he was dying, trapped inside this sphere he had become. I didn't know what to do. I panicked. My breath caught in my throat as I felt the seconds ticking by, not knowing what to do. I might be able to pop the sphere, but what if it was still Jason and I ended up killing him?
In a rush, I grabbed at Jason's discarded clothes. I plucked his cell-phone out of his pants pockets and desperately searched for Kate's number on the phone. It was there. Katelynn McDonell. I hurriedly pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.
It rang twice before I heard her voice.
"Hello?"
"Oh my God... Kate... Help! Jason!" I gasped, panic overwhelming me. "Kate, where are you?!"
"Whoa, easy, lover. What's wrong, dear?"
"It's Jason! He's... something happened to him!"
"Is he okay? What happened to him?"
"I don't know! I... we were... I did some magic on him and I don't... I don't know what happened." I collapsed into the armchair with my hand to my face. "He's changed... maybe he's dead... I don't know." I heard tears in my voice before I even realized I was crying.
"Oh my God... We're on our way. We're almost home now."
I clapped the phone shut and collapsed into sobs. I should have known. I should have said no. I should have done a hundred things... but I didn't. Instead I let something happen to one of the only three people I had in my life now. Now I didn't even know if he was still alive. I did the only thing my hormonally unbalanced, distressed body would let me do: I cried.
After several minutes, I was curled up in a fetal position as best as my 7 foot frame and four basketball-sized udders could be on the armchair, still crying. I heard voices upstairs.
"Mercury?" Kate called.
I jumped to my hooves and sprinted around the Jason-balloon and upstairs in a flash. I was worried half-way up the stairs that she might have company that shouldn't see me in my Labrix form, but I didn't care at that point. Thankfully, it was only her and Jenna at the door. I quickly embraced her in a sobbing hug as I tried to tell them what happened.
Amid the tears and blubbering, I managed to get most of the story out.
"I'm so sorry, Jenna!" I cried. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened or how to undo it."
"Where is he?" She asked with dry lips and a cracking voice.
I led them both downstairs. Jenna gave a stifled cry when she saw. Kate was speechless. The swollen, blubbery ball was still laying there, motionless in the middle of the floor. It was slightly compressed under it's own weight, but otherwise completely round, like a giant water balloon.
Kate was first to approach it. Laying her hands on its surface, she felt the rubbery give of the liquid inside.
"It looks like an egg." She said suddenly.
"What? What do you mean?" Suddenly I hoped that it was an egg, and Jason was only inside it, comfortable and alive.
"Doesn't it look like an egg to you?" Kate asked. "Not a chicken egg, but more like a soft reptile egg. Feel the surface of it. Doesn't it feel kind of leathery?"
Suddenly she put the side of her head up to the surface of it. A wide smile spread across her face.
"Come listen."
Jenna and I hesitantly did so, pressing our ears up to the Jason-balloon. I heard a thumping inside. It was rhythmic, like a heartbeat.
"Oh my God, he IS alive! I can hear his heartbeat!"
Jenna cried silently as she listened.
"Wonder how we get him to hatch." Kate said, studying the surface of the sphere.
"It's not an egg. He's a mammal. We're all mammals. How can it be an egg?" I asked.
"What would you call it then?" Kate asked, smirking at me.
"I don't know! It's a... cocoon... thingy... Fine, it's an egg. I guess I just don't like the sound of egg. Aliens and monsters hatch from eggs... I hope that's not what he's turning into."
"Okay, well... I still wonder how he's going to hatch. Or when. If it is an egg, it's probably going to be messy when he hatches. Maybe we should move him outside."
"Don't you have to keep eggs warm and dry?"
"It's summer, silly. And we can put him in the shed. We'll get some blankets and stuff to keep him comfy. Build him a little nest or something out there." Kate smiled and winked at me. God, her spirit was irrepressible. It made me love her all the more.
With a great deal of effort, Kate and I managed to wrestle the sphere out through the sliders without breaking anything or worse, popping the egg, and rolled it across the yard to the shed. Jenna helped make a small nest for the egg and we lifted it up onto the pile gently.
For the next several days, we camped out by the shed in lawn chairs and coolers, building a campfire at night and talking long into the morning hours about anything and everything as we watched over Jason.
I learned a great deal about the Tauros culture during that time from the girls. They did their best to explain their histories and ways to me, teaching me the various protocols for addressing the matrons, so I'd be ready when the time came, as well as several Tauros rituals and customs. I was also taught a bit of the Tauros language. It was a bit confusing and seemed backwards compared to English, but I managed to learn a few phrases.
The milking schedule was placed on hold for a few days as we waited to see what happened. Which was a good thing, since I really wasn't in the mood for sex being so worried for Jason. I did get more tutoring in female customs as well, though. It was good experience for me as we practiced different movements, make-up techniques, and other female gestures.
Jenna wasn't taking things as well as I would have liked. She seemed not only scared and concerned for her son, but also, my gift to her had finally been absorbed by her body. After her belly shrank back to it's original size, she was left with large G-cup or so breasts, but even those eventually shrank back down to her former B-cups after another day. I knew she wanted them to be permanent.
I took to holding her at night when I wasn't with Kate. She would sit on my lap with my arms wrapped around her and our cheeks pressed together as we watched the fire. I was worried about her. I hoped that if Jason turned out to be alright, she would snap out of it. I tried to cheer her up a bit by telling her about the calf and how cute it was and how much I wanted one of my own, but while she smiled, I was sure she thought about her own son growing up.
We slept in turns, always keeping and eye on Jason's cocoon. And while Kate and I would sometimes go to the store, Jenna never left Jason's side except for showers and bathroom breaks.
A few days into the "Egg Watch", as Kate called it, something finally happened. Kate and I were returning from the grocery store. I had bought Jenna some flowers, hoping to cheer her up a bit. Kate had thought it was so sweet, but I thought it was a feeble gesture. I just wanted Jenna to be happy again.
After we had put away the groceries, we were headed to the backyard to join Jenna when we heard a shriek. Faintly we heard Jenna yelling for us. We bolted out the back slider and across the lawn to the shed where we found something really amazing.
Laying in the soaked remains of a rubbery skin and slippery blankets was Jenna cradling the head of a Tauros in Minos form.
"It's okay, baby, I'm here." Jenna spoke softly. "Momma's got you." She wiped the slippery goo from the furred face and neck of the Tauros.
"Holy smokes! Is that Jason?" Kate asked, coming up to Jenna and presumably a transformed Jason.
The creature was definitely a Tauros. It's body was very large indeed, probably over nine feet tall if standing, but as it was, it was curled into a fetal position. The fur was a deep red, almost brick, but even as thick as it was, it couldn't disguise a very feminine shaped body. Her hips were wide and curvaceous, even as thickly muscled as she was; and her chest was covered with 8 large, pink udders, just like Kate's and my Minos forms. A long, thick tail flopped lazily on the ground behind her.
"It's... it's me." The Tauros said between gasps. Her voice was deep but feminine, again like Kate's and mine while in that form. She was breathing deeply, catching her breath with her head in Jenna's lap.
"What happened, Jenna?" Kate asked as we knelt down beside the two.
She looked up with tears in her eyes and wide smile. "I was just sitting there, watching the egg, when suddenly I heard a snap and it... popped open, like a balloon. Water flooded everywhere and I saw Jason land in the pile of blankets like this. He... he started gasping for air, sort of coughing up all the fluid he must have been breathing. That's when I called for you two." She continued to stroke the muzzle and head of the newly-reborn Jason.
"Wow, look at this!" Kate said, carefully pulling at Jason's leg. "Jason's a she-male! I guess you've got a son and a daughter now, Jenna. All in one." Kate smiled, trying to make light of the situation, but Jenna was still too shocked to for humor.
Looking down at what she was pointing at, I saw Jason's new body had a surprise to it. Although feminine in all other appearances, he had a very large, thick penis and a pair of testicles to match. Just like Kate to be checking that sort of thing out first.
Jason seemed to notice it for the first time as well, looking down at his... her new body.
"Jesus, I've got udders!"
"You sure do, hon. Nice ones. And one hell of a nice cock, I might add!" Kate said.
"What do we call him... I mean her then? A her or a him?" I asked, not knowing the protocol oh how to address a she-male. I know the solution for me had been to just simply pick one. But then, hermaphrodite was a bit different than a she-male.
"Well... I'd say we should go with 'her'. That's what all the other she-males I've ever know liked being called. It helps them when they want to 'pass' for a normal girl." Kate said. "What do you think, Jason?"
Jason didn't respond. Instead she explored her new body for a few moments. The rest of us grabbed a few blankets to clean her up as best we could. The slimy fluid looked like semen. I thought for certain that it was. For many minutes Jason sat quietly looking over her new body. I watched her as he looked at her new three-fingered hands, felt through her mane to her horns, and felt her new tail. His face was more bovine than human now, just like Kate's and mine in Minos form, and with the dark red fur, she looked like a breed of cow that I didn't know.
"What kind breed is she?"
"I'd say probably a Milking Shorthorn." Kate replied. "They're sometimes all red like that."
"Is she a Tauros then?"
Kate thought for a minute, looking Jason over. "I don't think so. I think she's still a kinfolk, but it looks like she's a Metis now. Metis are always stuck in Minos form like this, and all of them usually have something odd about them. The fact that she's a she-male leads me to believe that. It's not uncommon for a Metis."
Jason was still slowly looking herself over. "I'm a Metis." She said slowly, as if it were a curse word. I remember Kate telling me how Metis aren't treated the same as others in Tauros society.
"Hey." Kate said quickly. "You're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you different." She glanced to me quickly, shooting me a 'look'. "Isn't she, Mercury?"
"I think you're gorgeous." I said, throwing my arms around her thick neck in a hug and kissing her on the muzzle. It was the truth, I did think she was beautiful. "With out a doubt, the most beautiful she-male I've ever met!" I giggled at her, trying to raise her spirits. It seemed to work, as I managed to get a smile out of her.
Jenna was oddly silent the whole time.
"Why don't you take her up for a shower, Mercury." Kate said. "We'll clean up out here."
"Sounds like a good idea. I think a shower is just what you need, Jason." I helped her up to her hooves. She stood there a bit wobbly for moment, but she seemed to find her balance quickly.
"Wow, this is so... different." She said, taking a look at her hoofed legs.
"Don't worry, babe, you'll get the hang of it in no time. It didn't take Mer very long at all to get it." Kate said as she watch Jason take a few steps.
I undressed and shifted to my Minos form next to Jason. In my larger frame, it was easier to help her across the yard. With her arm over my shoulders and my arm around her waist, we made our way to the house. By the time we got there, Jason seemed to have much better balance and was able to walk on her own.
"Jason's not a very girlish name, you know." Jason was oddly quiet as we made our way through the house to the shower. "I was just wondering if you had any new name in mind to go with your new body..."
"No." She said, obviously still in a daze. "Nothing in mind yet. Do you know any good ones?"
I shifted back to my human-looking Homid form so I could maneuver around a bit better in the bathroom with Jason. "Well, maybe we could just shorten your name a bit. How do you like the name Jayce? It kind of sounds like Jason, but it's definitely more of a girl name." I turned on the water in the shower and felt for it to get warm.
"I like that." She said. "Jayce. It would be easy to get used to as well." I smiled at her, pleased that she liked the name. She was looking at me with tears welling in her eyes. "Thank you, Mercury."
"Well, you're welcome, sweetie. I'm glad you like it."
"No. I mean... Thank you. For everything."
I wasn't sure what to say, so I just hugged her. My cheek pressed up against her udder and my tiny arms barely able to reach around her waist. She hugged me back as best she could.
"Pew! You're one stinky cow." I said, hoping to lighten the mood. "Let's get you cleaned up."
Jayce maneuvered carefully into the tile shower. Her hooves making clomping noises as she shuffled about. I joined her inside and had her sit down in the middle so I could shampoo her fur. She stayed as still as a statue there, only moving when I told her to. Using the massaging shower head and an entire bottle of shampoo, we spent a good hour in the shower getting her clean. I sang softly for her a bit, trying to ease her mind. It seemed to do the trick as she relaxed visibly. Finally I washed the last of the shampoo out of her furred legs and shut off the water. My fingers were a bit prune-like when we finally finished.
Helping her out of the shower once more, I tossed her a few large towels (which looked like tiny hotel towels in her massive hands) and we managed to dry her off a bit. Using the hair-dryer and one of my brushes, we spent another 15 minutes drying and brushing her fur. When we were done, however, she had a beautiful, shiny coat.
Her fur was a bit more red than I first thought, since it was so filthy to begin with. Having cleaned and dried it, it was a brighter shade. Almost a dark cherry color. When we were done, Jayce was once again smiling after she looked into the mirror. Her thick red mane of hair was nicely brushed, and her fur had a radiant sheen to it. I noticed for the first time that she had bright honey-colored eyes now. Definitely a beautiful shade of hazel to match her fur.
Because I knew Jayce was feeling a bit of regret about transforming, I went the extra mile and got out some of my make-up to help her see that she was indeed very pretty. I put a bit of eye-shadow, eyeliner and mascara on her, and even managed to contour her face a bit with some powder. It was odd putting make-up on a cow's face, but we managed, and the results were nice indeed. As a final touch, we even added a bit of lip liner and lipstick.
"Wow." I was looking at her in the mirror. "Definitely beautiful."
"Thank you." Jayce smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
"You know, I think all you need now is a few accessories. Some nice dangly earrings, a few bracelets, and a nice necklace or something. Do they make clothes for Minos form?"
Jayce shrugged. "Metis usually only dress up for special occasions. Like if they're in a wedding or something. Otherwise they just go naked everywhere."
"Well, I bet your mom could make you some nice outfits. Let's go show everyone."
I snatched up a housecoat and threw it on. I didn't see Kate and Jenna out back an more, so I headed upstairs. They were there, talking in the living room.
"Ahem!" I said, drawing their attention. "It is my exquisite pleasure to introduce to you, the lovely, the beautiful... Jayce!" With a show-girl pose and a wave of my hand I gestured to Jayce, motioning for her to come up the stairs.
In a shy way, Jayce made it up to the top and stepped into plain view of the others. A warm smile with a hint of surprise washed over Kate's face and she started clapping.
"Wow! Isn't she beautiful! Bravo!" Kate came over and hugged her. "You look radiant, my dear."
Jenna's face was a wash of happy tears as she looked upon her new daughter. Quickly she embraced Jayce around the waist and began crying with her face between Jayce's udders.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" She cried. "I love you so much!"
"You're not mad that I'm changed now?" Jayce asked gently, returning her mother's hug.
"No, honey, no. You're beautiful. No matter what you might look like, I'll always love you. I was just so worried that I had lost you. How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, mom. I'm hungry, but otherwise fine." Tears were glistening in Jayce's eyes as well.
"Come'on then. I'll fix you something to eat." Kate said, pulling at Jayce's hand. "Mercury, would keep Jenna company for a bit?"
"Of course!" I hugged Jenna tightly from behind and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as the other two headed to the kitchen.
"I need to ask you something, Mercury." Jenna said in a serious tone.
"Well, sure. What is it?" We moved over to the sofa to sit and talk.
"First of all, thank you very much for the flowers. It was very sweet of you to think of me like that." She gestured to the flowers in the vase on the table. I had forgotten them out in the back yard during the confusion.
"Of course, Jenna. I just wanted you to be happy again. It hurts me to see you sad."
"I need to ask something of you. I don't want you to feel you owe me anything, but this is the only thing I'll ever ask of you. The only selfish request I'll ever make of you."
"Well of course, Jenna. I promise if it's in my power I'll do it for you. You're my family now. You and Kate and Jayce. I'd do anything for any of you."
Jenna slumped a bit as she heard the words, fresh tears coming to her eyes. "Thank you, Mercury. What I ask is that you do to me... what you did to Jason."
I was a bit stunned. I hadn't thought about it before, but now it was clear as day. If I were still a human, and the prospect of becoming something else, like a Metis kinfolk, was even possible, I'd probably kill for it. But there was no going back for Jayce. At least, that I knew of. And not knowing much about the Tauros farm and their society, I had no idea what kind of life lay ahead of her.
"Oh, honey... are you sure? You'd be giving up everything. Your old life, any friends you might have outside the farm, all of it. Are you sure it's what you want?"
Fighting back choking sobs, Jenna told me her answer. "More than anything... I've ever wanted. I've dreamed of being a Tauros... since I was just a little girl. The idea of finding another way... is more wonderful than... anything I can imagine!" Her tears were flowing freely now. "Please, Mercury! Please do this for me! It's all I've ever wanted!"
"But... what if you transform into something strange? What if I can only transform people into Metis kinfolk? Who knows how you might be changed. Are you sure you still want to try it?"
"I don't care, Mercury. I don't care at all what might happen, as long as I can become what I've always dreamed about."
It took me less than a second to make a decision.
"Of course. I'll do it for you, as long as it's what you want. We can do it tonight, if you wish."
"Yes! Please! Oh, thank you, Mercury! Thank you for everything! I love you so much." She flung her arms around me and hugged me fiercely. I returned the embrace gently.
"I love you too, Jenna." Her hair smelled like apples. "Let's go get something to eat with the others."
Jenna and I joined Kate and Jayce in the kitchen after Jenna had wiped her face a bit. Kate was already halfway through making lunch for everyone. Jayce had started stuffing her face with half a loaf of French bread. Within a few more minutes, we all sat down at the table for a nice spaghetti dinner. Jayce had to kneel, since she was too big and heavy for human furniture to support her.
During dinner, Jenna told everyone about her intentions to undergo the transformation.
"I think that's a fine idea." Kate said nonchalantly. "She's always wanted to be a Tauros ever since I've known her." She made it seem like a decision to take a vacation to Rome or something. "I'd think she'd make a very pretty Metis."
"You aren't concerned about her giving up everything? Her home, her job, any friends she might have?" I asked.
"Pfft, no. You weren't concerned with that when I helped you through the First Transformation." Kate stuffed her face with a fork-full of spaghetti. "Besides, she can always live on the farm. There's plenty of friends for her out there. And the society owns the house anyway. As for her job... well, maybe she can tele-commute or something. She just basically owns the company, she doesn't have to actually run it."
"Well, I would definitely love to do it for her." I said. "I know I love my Minos form. Even if I were stuck in only that, I'd still do it. Also, I think she would make such a cute Metis." Truth was, Jenna was incredibly cute already, but imagining her as a sexy Metis was even better.
"Well speaking from experience," Jayce said in her deep voice, "waking up as a Metis was, and still is, quite a scary prospect." She paused. "But if I had the choice to make, I'd do it again."
"So were you awake in that cocoon, Jayce? Do you remember anything or could you feel anything as you changed?" I asked.
Jayce shook her head. "The only thing I remember was feeling blissfully full as I was swollen up, then everything went dark." She shrugged. "The next thing I knew, I was coughing up fluid and my mom was there. It didn't hurt at all."
"You know, Mercury, there is one concern that Jenna and were talking about." Kate swallowed another mouthful. "The magic that you're doing... It's unheard of. None of the matrons can do it. I've heard one or two that can do that trick you know about moving things with your mind, but as far as changing people into Metis? No one can do that. Not that I've ever heard of anyway."
"Well, I guess I'm just special then." I shot her a smile, while striking a self-important pose.
"That's an understatement. In any case, I'm going to give a call tomorrow to the farm and see if anyone knows anything about it. Maybe this is some clue as to exactly where you came from."
"Well, I'd just like to take this opportunity, while we're all here at dinner together, to tell you all how much I love you, and how happy I am that you've let me into your lives as you have. I don't know what would have happened to me if you had never found me. So, thank you. Thanks so much for everything."
"This is quite an odd family, isn't it?" Jenna asked.
"Yep." Kate said. "Two sisters, a son... err, daughter now... and a lost calf. I don't think it gets any better than that."
We finished our dinner together and talked about our futures. Kate seemed to have it all thought out as to what to do with Jayce. The only way to explain it to the matrons would have been to tell them about me, which could be rocky, but at least she had a plan for covering up the disappearance of a police officer. As it turns out, the farm has a number of contacts and outright kinfolk in the police force who could push through a fake death certificate, driver's license, birth certificate, even social security card. I thought that was great news for me, as Mercury certainly needed all of that if she wanted to stay out in public for very long.
We decided to stay at Jenna's for a few weeks, until we could figure out exactly how to approach the farm with news of everything that's happened. In the mean time, we could help Jayce, and soon Jenna, to adapt to life as a Metis. I was hoping Kate might be able to find out something about my heritage as well. That way we might have at least a few clues to go on when we ask the matrons.
