Becoming Cat
The young man with short blonde hair stared at the black rubber collar as if it was going to leap up from the bed and bite him. It could have been innocuous enough in any other setting - a collar could have been for a pet - but the very notion of what it entailed brought his heart into his throat, beating like a drum. Gulping, he adjusted the neck of his green t-shirt, casual enough, with what he hoped was a subtle gesture, something that would fly under her radar. A romantic weekend away in the mountains with snow falling gently outside the timber cabin window was a typical getaway of couples - who could say no to the natural skiing allure of France? - although he was more used to being the one who wooed. At the moment it seemed that the beautiful brunette sitting cross-legged on the king sized bed was courting him.
Maybe miracles truly did happen?
The woman's brown eyes were soft in the candlelight as she studied him, expression carefully neutral as she tugged her pink sleeves down over her wrists, matching nail polish chipped and worn. He resolved to pay for her to have a full manicure and spa treatment at the mountain resort during the course of their stay: she, after all, deserved only the very best in his eyes. She had paid for the whole trip! Orchestrated it, even! He was lucky to have such a woman sitting bottomless across from him with only a sliver of underwear concealing her soft folds from gaze and touch.
Pursing his lips, he brushed the collar with the tip of one finger, the buckle silent. It appeared to have been coated in the same black material (rubber, to his eye) as the circle of the collar, a feature better suited to an animal's accessory. But when Emily had asked him what he would wear, a giggle in her tone and a flirt on her lips, to change into anything his heart desired, it was the word 'collar' that had tumbled from his lips in a burst of spontaneity. Of course, he had not truly believed that Emily could turn him into anything he wanted. That would be silly. It was simply a nice idea when it came to fantasy.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked, keeping his eyes lowered to the silken duvet cover.
His girlfriend of two months tucked the feathered ends of her hair back behind her ear and smiled, pink lip gloss shimmering as her lips quirked up in the candlelight. He ached to have her in his arms but she kept her distance for once, arms wrapped around her torso as if holding a secret close. Shaking his head, he looked between her and the collar, unwilling to act when inaction was safer in its immediacy. Emily drew her bare legs up and his eyes traced their length, already thinking of kissing his way up them, phantom lips brushing over the thin fabric of the panties covering her pussy. He swallowed a groan and tried to focus his attention elsewhere though the swell of her breasts, uncontained by a bra, through her shirt begged his eye. She made it difficult to focus and demanded that all attention was on her simply by her presence alone.
Emily frowned and stretched forward, nudging the collar closer to him with her fingertips as he perched on the very edge of the bed.
"Put it on."
Her tone thrummed firmer, slipping off her lips like silk. It was a tone that he could not deny and he had the collar in his hands before his mind caught up with his body, lifting it to his neck with trembling digits. Hesitating, he blushed and fumbled with the buckle, trying to fasten it at the back of his neck as it pressed down on his throat.
Taking pity on him, Emily scooted across the sheets and brought her hands to his neck, fixing the collar for him. He shivered under her touch and leaned into her, smiling faintly as her hair brushed his shoulder. There was nothing better than her touch.
"Imagine, darling," she purred into his ear, continuing the fantasy as she buckled the collar securely around his neck. "Imagine everything your heart desires..."
Closing his eyes, he uncurled his fingers, splaying his hands out flat on the padded bed spread. It could not be that difficult, surely, to relax in her capable arms. She would look after him, whatever happened. Emily was a master of mind games in the bedroom and he had every confidence that this was all that it was. Nothing would truly change in his body - he would only believe that he had changed. The faintest glimmer of excitement fluttered in his chest and he lay back on the bed as directed by her hand on his chest, fingertips teasing over light muscle.
In his mind, he imagined Cat.
"I know what you are wishing for," she whispered into his ear, supporting herself over his body on strong, steady arms. "You should not be so quick to fall under my spell, sweetheart."
The man groaned and rolled his head, something twisting in his stomach. Warmth spread outwards from the pit of his belly and he arched up from the bed, hips twisting from left to right as warming pleasure grew, tickling as if he was being teased with a million feathers. Emily seemed very far away, her words coming to him as if she faced away from him, sound waves too slow to bounce back to weak human ears.
His cock stirred.
Emily kissed his lips sweetly, chaste kiss lingering as the collar squeezed around his neck, melding perfectly with his skin. As if he was growing hard with need, warmth spread through his loins and he bucked up against her body, seeking pleasure that his body was suddenly shy to divulge.
"What..." He struggled to speak, lips soft and pliable. "Wha... Mmm?"
Chuckling, Emily did not answer and instead removed his shirt from his body, tugging it up and over his head in a single, deft motion. It was as if the awkwardness of bodies did not apply to her and she slid down his old jeans in like fashion, dragging them off his bare, tingling feet with a strangely sensual caress. Looking down the length of his naked body, he jumped and contorted his face in a yelp, reaction momentarily delayed by the shock caught in his throat.
There was something wrong, very wrong. His skin was the wrong colour. His throat tightened. Black raced up his legs in an unnatural sheen and the top of his thighs glowed yellow-orange, skin rippling as it changed without his permission. Emily pounced on top of him and wrestled his wrists to the bed above his head, forcing him to be still as the changes continued to tingle through his body, sensation bathing in him warm laps from head to toe as if he was suddenly in the care of a gentle feline.
He submitted willingly to her hold - it was not as if he wanted to escape his Emily - and she grinned, putting her weight upon his wrists. She dipped her head to brush her lips over his, moaning into the chaste kiss as she felt him change beneath her, magic running through his veins from her fingertips. It would always be the most delectable of sensations for her.
