Brandi looked down and yelped to see that it was true, then slammed her thighs together, apparently in the futile hope that the aroma of her arousal would be trapped. She looked up at Cassie with fear and humiliation on her face, prompting the redhead to finally ease off on her teasing. "Look, Brandi, there's no need to freak out, I understand what you meant."
"You do?" asked the nervous woman, whose flesh had erupted in goose pimples when Cassie put a hand on her arm.
"Yes. It's not a lesbian thing for you, it's a pet thing," she said kindly. "I'm hoping you're not one of those people who hates everyone who isn't straight, but I realize that you were turned on by the idea of crawling around naked with me while we act like animals. It's obviously a sex thing, but for you, it's less about my gender than my species. Well, the animal species I'll be acting like, that is."
The relief in Brandi's expression and posture were immediately evident, and may even have been a revelation to her, as Cassie doubted the blonde had had time to fully integrate and rationalize her new desires, at least not with any degree of finesse or articulation. "You're right!" she said, sounding pleasantly surprised.
Cassie smiled back and reached up to buckle the collar around Brandi's unresisting neck; the blonde even helped, by dropping her pants and panties on the floor to hold her hair out of the way, although it was only shoulder-length and not much of an obstacle. "There!" she announced once the collar was fastened comfortably around her teammate's neck. Now you're free to wear as much or as little as you want to show that you're a sexy piggy! Do you want to take off your top and bra?"
"Um, not right now..." Brandi said, some of her nervousness returning. "I need to think about things a little more."
Cassie smiled and shrugged, saying, "Of course! Well, let's get back to the field and finish our practice, then we can explore your boundaries together!" She quickly bent down to scoop up Brandi's discarded clothes and walked rapidly out of the restroom, ignoring the sputtered protests of the blonde as she tried to object to being left bottomless. Cassie merely moved faster once her friend started chasing her, and soon they were both sprinting back toward the field, with the redhead laughing merrily while letting the stolen garments flap in the breeze.
Possibly acting on instinct, Cassie found herself right on the edge of the large muddy hole she'd fallen in before, but at the last second, she leapt athletically right over it, landing on solid ground on the other side. Brandi, however, fell face first into the muck with a surprised screech and a loud squelch. Most of the other players had already stopped what they were doing thanks to the distraction, and most roared with laughter at the mess their cheerful co-captain had gotten herself into.
Cassie, however, was close enough to see how Brandi's surprise and disgust had quickly transitioned to confusion and then delight. She squealed and grunted with pleasure as she rolled around in the slimy mud, caressing her body sensually as her hands smeared the slurry around. "Oh, fudge!" she said, "This feels so flippin' wonderful!"
Cassie rolled her eyes and giggled, finding the girl's adamant refusal to use actual profanity cute for the first time she could remember. The coach came jogging up and rolled her eyes, saying, "I guess I need to ride someone's ass to get this leak fixed. Go hit the showers, Ellison." Turning to Cassandra and looking much more stern, she followed with, "And give the girl her damn pants back, Ryan!"
"It's fine!" said Brandi as she got to her feet in the puddle. "I don't need them, see?" The mud-covered girl wiped some of it away from her throat to show off the collar.
Their coach blinked for a few moments, then her blank expression cleared and she said, "Oh, well, alright then. You can still go get cleaned up, though."
"I'd rather play like this!" Brandi chirped, sounding much more like her normal buoyant self. "It's better than sunscreen!"
After another few moments of blankness, which Cassie watched intently, wondering if it was a sign of the remote's influence, Coach Lehman finally said, "Suit yourself," with a shrug. "You're up next, go get your bat."
Cassie followed, admiring the bouncing, bubbly butt cheeks of her blonde teammate, despite the film of mud coating them, as they returned to the dugout. She tossed the unwanted garments on the bench next to Brandi's bag and grabbed her own bat, planning to take some practice cuts as she waited for her turn. With a smug smile, she surveyed the field, picking out the nude bodies of Salalai, Shanice, Rose, and Nikita, now joined by the partially nude Brandi, and wondered if she'd be able to get the whole team playing naked, even if they weren't part of the harem.
Friday Mid-Day (July 7)
Cassie was a little surprised to be reminded that while some traits, especially ones involving physical changes, seemed to be accepted as having always been the case, behavioral ones were not. The whole team eventually expressed varying levels of shock about Brandi's sudden adoption of pet-dom and the concessions they had to make for her as a consequence. No one came out against her, although some of the ladies grumbled to one another about how many of the girls on the team were acting 'whorish' lately. Cassandra was on the verge of making a scene, but Sally and Shanice managed to talk her down.
"It ain't worth it," said Shan as she sipped her sports drink. "Jokes on them, anyway. We're sluts, not whores."
Cassie smirked a little, thinking about the traits she'd absorbed from Allie that effectively did make her a prostitute, at least of sorts. The memory made her head tilt to the side, as if there was something important about the idea that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Salalai sniffed and said, "None of them are sexy enough to be in the harem, anyway." She eyed the small group balefully but then admitted, "Well, maybe Felicia and Ellie. And I guess I wouldn't kick any of the others out of bed, either. But only because I'm nice."
The three nude girls laughed, and they were soon joined by Rose, Bonnie, and Nikita, the other current members of the harem. Cassie noticed that Rose had already started accessorizing the piercings that were apparently part of the hippie style she'd been forced to adopt. She'd added a nose ring to her collection, and the lack of redness around the new puncture made Cassandra wonder if the remote was making her heal faster or otherwise speeding along similar changes. The flower child flashed the others a peace sign as she walked up smiling, then started rummaging in her bag.
Shy Bonnie made brief eye contact with the taller women and asked, blushing, "Are we, um, going to be meeting up tonight? I'm free! Just in case, y'know, there are any plans."
Salalai sighed and said, "Not me, I've got to work tonight. Tomorrow night, too. But maybe tomorrow in the afternoon." Bonnie's smile dropped so quickly it made Cassie want to laugh, but she managed to restrain her mirth.
"Me and Nikita are working tonight, too," said Shanice, also looking a bit disappointed. "I know other restaurants let us fuck on the tables, so you could probably come fuck us on our break, but honestly, I'd rather you didn't. Or at least don't sit in my section, I don't wanna wipe up cunt juice."
Everyone laughed a little, but stopped quickly when they noticed what Rose was up to. She'd attached a chain from her nose ring to one of her earrings, and was in the process of adding bells to her nipple and labial piercings. Offhand, that didn't seem to exactly fit with what Cassie knew of hippies, but she supposed it could be something unique and natural to Rose. After all, the device didn't necessarily do anything to suppress whatever kinks a person started with.
Having attached her musical ornaments, Rose gave a little shimmy to make sure they chimed, then stretched and yawned, raising her arms high and displaying the brown underarm fuzz that only Cassie knew was a recent addition. "Well, I'm free," she said, "It'd be groovy if we could all hook up, but I guess tonight isn't a good night."
Bonnie glanced back at Cassandra and asked, "What about you? Any plans?" The girl sounded almost desperate, which made Cassie's eyes narrow slightly, wondering if there was some kind of problem. She took a little while to compose her answer.
"Well, I promised Brandi that I'd help her learn how to be a petgirl," Cassie replied, nodding her head to draw attention to the blonde, who had gone back to wallowing in the puddle once practice was over. "I was thinking I should take her to get some accessories, so that anyone who looks at her knows she's my... knows she's a pet piggy."
