"I can't drink this," said Laika. "I'm the first to lose my top and now I'm stuck as the guinea pig for whatever the hell this is?"
"It was your frigging idea to raise the stakes." Erin laughed and the guys joined in. She always had a nervous laugh, but right now the guy's laughs were every bit as high-pitched and excited as hers.
The stakes were high. Laika had already lost her panties, although not her skirt. Everyone was topless. Mike was in his boxers and Sam was naked except for Laika's baby blue lace-trimmed underwear. She wasn't planning on wearing them again. Sam was a little chubby and the line of the panties got lost entirely in his ass crack. It was damned funny though when the bottle stopped at him and he had to literally squeeze into them.
But, this was different. The vial came from Mike's father, the first magic practitioner Laika ever met and probably the best in the state. They were both pervs too, so it was probably not only powerful, but... pervy. In fact, Mike got caught hiding invisible in the girls shower last year when they were all seniors and everyone suspected that Mike's dad was there as well because some girls smelled cherry tobacco and Mike's father always reeks of the stuff.
"How do I know this isn't all, you know, pervy?"asked Laika. The long thin vial held a clear viscous liquid that crept around the tube as she tilted it back and forth on its side. Setting the vial in her lap Laika took a thin hair tie off her wrist and secured her long wavy red hair in a bun. She loved her own hair. She even loved her bush, when it wasn't shaved bare.
"It's probably just Mike's dad's cum," said Erin. She licked her lipped in an exaggerated slurp, leaning forward into the circle where they all sat. She stuck her tongue out and bah'ed like a sheep. Laika smacked Erin's upturned ass and the two girls giggled. Mike and Sam grinned together like they'd choreographed the shared expression.
Erin crawled backwards, turning her ass to Laika and pushing it against her shoulder. "That's all you got?"
The girls laughed some more and Laika gave Erin another, harder, smack on the bare skin below the line of her boy short panties. Erin's ass was as pale and smooth as the rest of her. Her straight shoulder-length dark hair made her skin look impossibly fair. The only color on her came from her pink shiny lips and blue eyes.
"You two are definitely going to lez out," said Sam.
"C'mon," said Mike. He leaned over the empty vodka bottle sitting unceremoniously on the rug in the center of his living room. He jiggled the empty bottle. "Drink up – you gotta." Between the two of them, Mike was the buff one, a bit of a bull. They were both on the varsity lacrosse team, but Sam was bookish. Maybe it was the glasses.
"Erin, if I go into a coma or something you have to fight back their dicks because I'm in no mood for errant dicks tonight," said Laika as she considered the potion. The handwritten label read "
Anthro-30, Neuro-activated
". She didn't really think it was spiked or swapped out. She'd given mike a blowjob last week and she figured he'd just ask her if he really wanted to fuck her. And, Sam was too sweet to be thinking anything of the sort, although he hadn't stopped staring at her tits for ten minutes, except to look at Erin's itty bitties. She called them that herself. Laika twisted off the plastic cap on the vial.
"One sip then we spin again," said Erin. She crinkled her nose and expressed a forced, silly, chibi eye smile.
Laika tipped back the vial to her lips. She could smell something vaguely stale and musky. It took forever for the stuff to touch her tongue. She let only a little sneak past her lips and pulled the vial away. It felt so cold and tingly and thick.
"Oh my god," said Erin as the guys cheered. Laika made a face of genuine surprise while she forced a swallow.
"Ew. Ew. It feels like lube and it tingles," cried Laika. She wrinkled her face and nose.
"What did you think of?" asked Sam, scanning her up and down obviously. He had a wide smile.
"Oh, I forgot," said Laika.
"You gotta think of an animal for it to actually do anything," said Erin.
"Think about a cat in heat," said Mike in a very direct and clear tone.
Erin laughed. "I don't think you can make it
in heat
specifically, idiot"
"Sure you can," said Mike.
"Cut it out," said Laika. "I want a fox." She closed her eyes and concentrated. She pictured a cute kit leaping over purple flowers in a grassy meadow.
Everyone waited quietly. Laika stood up, smoothing out the folds of her floor length black skirt. She twirled a bit, stopping a little unsteadily from the shot or two of vodka she'd been given. There wasn't much in the bottle. Mike had stolen it from Sam's mother's bedroom dresser.
"Give me the vial," said Sam. "I don't want you to drop it." He plucked it gingerly from Laika's hand.
Laika stopped smiling. Her hand felt weird where Sam's hand had grazed, even though it was a brief touch. Her hand felt so sparkly, like little bubbles that tickled. Then she heard a pop and felt an impossibly sharp pinch on her ass. She wheeled around in a three step circle chasing her own butt with her hand as she felt behind her frantically. "Ow!"
Everyone else stood, peering at her sideways and asking if she was alright. Sam was pointing at her ass. She felt around and finally grabbed onto something low and tube-like. "What the hell is this," she thought.
Erin lifted Laika's skirt from behind. "On my god. Oh my god. She got a tail!"
Laika twisted around to see what Erin was wrestling free from under the skirt. The guys moved behind her and looked up her out-held skirt immediately.
"A fox tail," said Laika. She was starting to feel tingly all over as a feathery sensation crept across her body.
"No way," said mike. " That's a fucking
CAT
tail!"
"Oh, yeah," said Erin.
"What?" said Laika. "I didn't think of a cat." She kind of did though. It was the first thing to pass through her head after Mike said it, but just for a flash and then it was all fox.
"But you thought of a cat first, I bet,"said Sam.
"In heat," added Mike.
"I thought of a cat too, when Mike said it," said Erin. She was still playing with the two and a half foot long reddish and moderately short haired wisp-tipped tail.
"Oh god," thought Laika. It did feel like her whole body was blushing. She probably was in heat. She knocked away Erin's hand playfully – it was suddenly too ticklish.
"I see it, I do," said Laika. "But, I'm certainly not in heat." She stuck her tongue out. She played it easy. Cool cucumber. Cool cucumber. Oh god.
Her skirt kept flaring up in the back. Laika willed her tail down and it complied, although it didn't feel comfortable like that. She thought it was insane that she could actually feel anything there, like it was another, somewhat disobedient, limb. She could feel her own butt cheeks brushing against either side of her new tail as she moved it modestly out of the way.
"That thing is so hot," said Erin. "Show us. C'mon."
Laika's head was pounding, like a pulse, not an ache. She tried to breathe evenly."It's just a tail. Will someone else take their turn?"
"Relax, kitty," said mike. "I want to savor the moment. The stuff only lasts for a half hour or so."
Below her tail, underneath it all, Laika was alarmed by the feeling of a deepening heat between her legs. She could practically feel her vulva swelling. It felt really weird, abnormally weird – she felt like she had a squishy ball of hot water wedged between her legs and it was inflating. Careful to keep her head in control, she showed off the last two thirds of her tail, trying hard not to let the skirt ride too high. This preservation wasn't sudden modesty – she thought for sure they'd actually be able to see whatever the fuck was going on down there between her legs.
They all took turns petting her tail. Laika almost couldn't stand it, although she wanted it too. It felt nice, like a relief, when they pet her. It was too much and not enough. It was as if she could feel the ridges of their fingerprints over each hair on her new tail while it lolled back and forth on its own in an obscene arc. Her skirt lifted up and down in time with her breaths. She could feel her pulse strongly down below.
They all settled back down on the rug. Laika sat side-saddle now, which was a little more comfortable. Her tail stuck out from the side of her skirt. Laika wondered if she could curl it around to rub her clit. Actually, she couldn't think of much else outside of getting off.
