"And that's it?" I asked.
"Yes, that's it," the old man said.
I sat there in the corner of a little Starbucks, well away from everyone else. The gentleman I was speaking with sat back in the overstuffed leather chair opposite me. Starbucks wasn't where I wanted to meet but the old guy insisted.
Muted conversations and nauseating light jazz filled the air while I considered my options. Really, what did I have to lose? Other than a large amount of money, of course. I knew what I'd choose.
But, let me back up a moment and explain what brought me here. There are fetishes and kinks of all kinds. Some are "lucky" and enjoy nothing more than plain vanilla sex or perhaps something slightly edgy like simple role play. I, unfortunately, find myself aroused by transformation erotica. Women changing into animals. Not completely, of course; I'm not into bestiality. But, werewolves or the such? Yes. For whatever reason, that seems to be my biggest fetish.
About 2 years ago, I stumbled into several large transformation related communities. They're a good bunch by and large; artists and authors with a shared kink posting their work. I have no talents beyond lurking but I found myself drawn in and, eventually, I began commenting on new posts. I even became a moderator on a few forums.
One day, I received a private message with an intriguing proposal. "What if it could be real?" the message asked. I figured the person wanted to do some bit of role play or talk theoretical situations so I played along for a while. Except, they specifically said they meant that they had a way to make this happen.
For a fee, of course. Of course. $20,000 specifically.
I expressed extreme doubts. The person supplied one photo. It could've been a photomanipulation. God knows I've seen plenty of them. But, if it was, it was very well done: a cat girl sleeping nude on a couch. That was it.
We talked a bit more and he gave me the hook: he would only take the money if it worked.
Okay. All right then. I thought about it for a week and figured, what the hell? The worst that could happen is I save up $20,000, right? And possibly give someone food poisoning. I agreed but warned him it'd take nearly a year for me to save up the money. The man was amenable and I began scrimping and saving until I had enough. I'll be honest. I ate more ramen than is healthy.
And now here I am. I admit, I feel stupid. And yet, my palms are sweaty and my heart is racing a bit. The man, perhaps about 50 and well dressed with small glasses, is very professional and serious. Sincere. I've never felt anything other than an honest, open vibe from him.
"It... it won't hurt her, right?"
"No," the gentleman answered. "She'll find it pleasurable, actually. And any discomfort she might feel will be forgotten."
I don't know why I'm still hesitating. I shouldn't be.
"Fine," I say finally. "Deal."
To uphold my part of the bargain, I show him an account statement with $21,233.58 in balance as of this morning. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never had that much money in my account before. I should really be better at saving.
He nods, gives me his account information for transferring payment and tells me how it works. I spend the rest of the day fantasizing. And masturbating, of course. I don't know what will happen exactly but I can imagine a few scenarios and they're all very, very exciting.
That same evening (a Sunday) I stop in for my second appointment: a dog breeder. This one took a bit of time to consider. I was told that I needed something from an animal I wanted to use. Hairs or scrapes of skin or something similar. And that the animal chosen would affect the outcome. I briefly, very briefly, thought about visiting a wolf sanctuary but I worried that some of the raw savagery of the wolf would come through. Instead, I decided on a dog. A German Shepherd dog.
The breeder was very accommodating and we talked for a while when I showed up. She asked me about my home (a small apartment but I lied and said I had a house) and the environment the dog would be in. I asked about personality traits and other issues until she let me see what animals she had available. I specifically asked for young females. The gentleman had said only the animal type would work but I'd rather not take a chance and find myself suddenly face-to-face with a male dog... person. Were-dog? Does that count? I mean, if it's real and can actually work, would it be that much more difficult to change the lady's sex?
The young female was very well trained and actually quite beautiful. Her ears stood straight and her coat was luxurious. I pet her vigorously until some of her fur came away in my hand. Perfect. My task complete, I made my excuses and promised to call soon to schedule a home visit. Once I was in my car, I opened my left hand and shook the bit of fur into a small plastic bag.
I had a very, very hard time falling asleep that night. I tossed and turned and tossed and turned and, somewhere in there, fell asleep.
Monday morning I snapped awake. Jittery. I got dressed quickly and make my way to work. IT manager at a small company. Okay. The
only
IT employee at a small company. It's glorious. Whenever things are going well, nobody notices. Until things go not-so-well. Then it's all my fault. Still, they're mostly nice about everything and I've absolutely worked in worst places.
The best part, though? Our president. This woman. Good lord. Early thirties. Maybe even just thirty years old. Slightly younger than me at least. I don't get to talk to her often at all but I see her around quite a lot. I'm just under six feet tall and she's a tad bit shorter than me in heels. Black, short straight hair. She dresses quite professionally (alternating between skirts and pants) but she seems to have an amazing figure and a great ass. I've caught her smiling a few times and my heart just melts. Her teeth are nearly perfect but not quite and it's oddly sexy. Oh, and the dimples. Dimples. Yes. Brown eyes with long lashes and perfect eyebrows.
