Author's Note: This is a spin-off of the 'Carrots' series I'm writing. While that series isn't done at the moment, I did want to add a bit more variety now that I've introduced more characters. The characters are the same, but now it's from someone else's standpoint. I hope you enjoy it.

Splicing: the combining of DNA from a human and non-human source, resulting in animal-like humans. Genetically they are both, so having children means there's a chance of getting either a regular human or a spliced baby. It's been several generations since splicing started, so the new generations are more varied than just by skin tone. And that variety extends to the bedroom as well. You want to get boned by a dog? How about drink from a literal cow-girl's tits? How about riding a horse-man all night long? One thing's for sure, sex is on a whole other level nowadays.
Sam just raised her eyebrow at the text she had just gotten from Liz. She had just started to get into bed to tackle the next day early when her phone had buzzed and she heard a jazz riff, which was Liz's notification tone.
'New guy came to the gym today, says he just moved here, wondered if I knew a good masseuse that could handle a shark spliced. Gave him your name and number, so you should hear from him soon. Name's Carter, and he's a total hunk. Careful where you put those hands of yours ;)'
Sam just shook her head. She had never seen a shark spliced up close, but she knew they had really rough skin like sandpaper. She looked at her own palms, grinning slightly at how they too were scaled just like the rest of her. Well, at least the outside of her.
"Poor guy's probably never had a good massage. Most people would have to wear gloves, and that just doesn't give that same level of stress relief as using bare hands."
Sam glanced back at the last part of the text. Who did Liz think she was? She may put her hands all over other people on a regular basis, but she kept it very professional, and only gave extras to those that she either liked or she knew tipped extremely well. She didn't need her business to be known as one of those dime-a-dozen happy ending backroom massage joints. That would lose her a lot of reputable business. Even still, she couldn't deny that she was curious about him. Sam went to sleep shortly after, wondering when she would get a call from this mysterious Carter.

She woke up the next morning, a beautiful Saturday, went about her usual routine, checked her schedule, and then planned accordingly. She didn't have any appointments until noon, and since it was only 9, she knew she had time to get in a light jog and lunch before her first client was due. Sam's apartment was relatively small, being nothing more than a studio in downtown. She needed it to be small or else she'd go broke renting out the space where she has her business, despite it also being small.
Her business space was little more than a single room with a small bathroom just barely big enough for one person, but it served its purpose just fine. Sam went on her jog, thanking the powers that be that it was a warm morning and she didn't need to layer much. After she got back roughly 30 minutes later, she quickly showered off and then made herself a fresh salad and a nice lean 6 oz. steak. She may have been health conscious, but she needed the protein. Once she had cleaned up, she threw on a tank top and a pair of leggings and locked up as she headed to work.
