#14 of Comm - For Dreixes

Shodan takes April to her old gym to get a start on the squirrel's new drive for physical self-improvement, but it turns out that April's ex-boyfriend goes there, too. Shodan has a chat with him that turns out a bit more fun than she'd expected.


**A Memorable Workout

By: VeronicaFoxx

For: Dreixes**

"Okay, so keep in mind, you aren't trying to look like me," the hyena reminded the squirrel, posing momentarily to display her very, very many muscles. "All this? This isn't for fighting. This is all for bulk, for mass, for show. Yeah, I'm strong, but I'm not strong in the way that you want to be strong. I never had to be, because I was always big. I just wanted to be bigger. You won't look like this, but the martial arts training will eventually let you take even someone like me down. Okay?"

"I know," April replied and poked at a particularly ticklish spot, just below the lowest rib, which caused Shodan to dance away. The squirrel giggled. "I was thinking more ninja than Terminator. I like the way I look, but..."

The beefy 'yeen gave the squirrel a pat on the head, dragging the hand around to cup her cheek. "Good. Yeah. And since the Paulies said you shouldn't do any contact sports for at least another two weeks, then we start with some weights to get you a little more tone."

It had been the necessary two weeks since they'd been pierced and branded, but the male of the body mod twins thought that April's delicate skin could use a bit more healing before she engaged in anything rough so far as physical activity was concerned. Shodan had also asked them about her own issue, but she was told that it would eventually resolve itself; ever since she'd been pierced, her clit had been almost completely erect. Even after two weeks, just the sensation of her clothing brushing against the barbells was enough to get her hard. It left an embarrassing lump that stretched from her groin up along her stomach, quite obvious to anyone who so much as glanced her way. She would normally have been quite proud of the looks she got, but she would normally have at least a little bit of control over how much she was showing. The Paulies had said that she would eventually adjust. Probably. Hopefully. Otherwise, she'd have to get used to being permanently hard. The fact that the gym was in the bottomless district didn't help all that much considering that the fact she and April were wearing pants, which drew attention directly to her problem.

With a soft sigh, she pushed open the door to Carter's Gym and breathed in the sweet, familiar scent of musk and exertion. It was a large, multi-purpose space that had been converted from a warehouse. It was more or less sectioned out into nine blocks. The back three were showers and locker rooms; the center three laid out a boxing ring and gym mats for martial arts, gymnastics, and yoga; and the front set were for cardio machines, weights, and the reception area. The reception area sat center of the first row of blocks, right behind the doors to the warehouse, with plywood walls up to prevent anyone from seeing into the gym proper. Like many places in the bottomless district, no one really cared if you were wearing anything at all once you got past the doors. That had been one of the main draws for the place back in the day when Shodan has originally joined, though she had moved on to a gym that focused more on bodybuilding a few years back. She still kept in contact with several of the staff here, or tried to, the owner in particular.

Carter found her fascinating. He couldn't understand why someone with her size and build and workout routine would go for electronic sports rather than the real thing or for bodybuilding contests, something like that. He'd tried to get her into boxing and wrestling, but they hadn't stuck. She'd enjoyed them and still retained a lot of the training, using the moves in her gaming career, but she was always too afraid of hurting someone to really take to physical sport. It was one of the reasons that she liked Charlene so much and looked forward to when they could spend some more time together: she could play rough with the gator without having to worry quite so much about losing control.

Thinking of that, she needed to visit her family sometime soon. That was one place where she felt small. Of course, that was also why she'd moved away in the first place.

April brought her back to the present with a tug on her hand, and she shook her head, trying to remember what had just been said. "Sorry," the hyena apologized. "This place brings back memories, and I got lost for a few seconds there."

"Oh, that's okay," the squirrel forgave her, then gestured to the slender civet sitting behind the reception desk. "She was asking about membership and training fees and all? I thought you had that covered?"

"Oh, right. Is Carter in? I would've called ahead, but I didn't know when we'd be starting things. I should have arranged it all."

"Certainly," the viverrid nodded with a smile. She picked up the desk phone and spoke into it. "Mr. Carter to the front, please. Mr. Carter to the front."

It took less than a minute before the door between the reception area and the rest of the gym swung open to admit a cheetah in late middle age. He looked to be as much in shape as when she'd last seen him in person seven years ago, and he threw his arms wide open when he spotted her.

"Big Sho! Damn, girl, nice of you ta drop back by! This your little," he threw a few jabs at the air, "fighter? We can fit 'er into tha class, no problem, though beginner lessons are on Tuesdays. I'll give ya tha family discount, and we can get ya all signed up right now."

"Sure, mind if we handle the paperwork and all after? I'd like to give April the tour, first. Will you be fine with me being her trainer, or do you want to tack on one? I'm fine with either way, but I'll at least need to stay with her for the first several sessions, until she gets comfortable with whoever you assign."

"Hell, Sho, I'll take 'er on myself. She's not gonna be able ta put on bulk, like you. My routine'd be better for tone and endurance. Sound good?"

"Of course." She looked down at April, who was half-hiding behind her. "Do you like the sound of that, sweetheart?"

"Uh... sure. I guess. If you trust him, then I can... Just... stay with me for a while?"

"Of course, babe."

"Alright!" Carter clapped his hands together, and gave an aside to the receptionist. "Do you mind getting things started, Viv? I'll handle everything else."

The civet nodded and pulled out a clipboard with registration forms and the membership agreement so that she could fill in the paperwork as much as possible while the cheetah ushered the two women through the door and towards the back. April looked around in confused wonder. Shodan supposed that the little squirrel hadn't been to any kind of gym past gradeschool P.E. Then the hyena realized that it was probably the fact that everyone was at least half naked that was more surprising to the girl. Not to mention the fact that there were several people who were getting a different kind of workout in.

"First rule of the gym," Carter explained as he walked with them towards the locker room, "always clean up after yourself. I don't mind if people get frisky so long as they don't leave behind a mess for my people to deal with. We've got sanitizer and cloths by all the machines, so make sure ta use 'em. Second rule, no means no, no matter what. Self-explanatory. Third rule, you bring your own clothes and towels, and you leave with the same. We got drying booths, but they're more of a strong breeze than anything. I'd recommend a drying robe." He checked something on the back of the locker room door as they entered, then took them over to one that was currently open and empty. "Fourth rule, anything in your locker is your responsibility, so don't go givin' out tha code. We catch you with anything illegal inside, and it's on you, no one else. And, last but not least, the unspoken rule, which you are currently breaking. Ditch the shorts, red."

April blushed furiously, but she sat on the bench in front of her locker to slip the spandex shorts down her legs. Then she added her underwear when Carter insisted, "Panties, too." She had on a long tee-shirt that draped down enough to hide everything, except for where her tail stuck up in the back, but Shodan could tell that she was nervous. Still, it was something that might help with her fears considering that this was an imminently safe place. With Carter and his trainers on hand, nothing happened here that wasn't wanted, and anyone who tried to do so was ejected with extreme prejudice, not to mention a few broken bones.

"So... training?" the squirrel squeaked, her hands twisting at the hem of her shirt.

Shodan chuckled as she stowed their bottoms in the locker and added her own top as well. There was no point not to flaunt herself since the goods were already on display, and it seemed to make her snuggle bundle slightly more comfortable. They moved back out onto the main floor, and the cheetah began taking the squirrel around the various machines while explaining their function and use. The hyena followed behind, happy that things were working out so far, and she agreed with the suggestions that Carter was making. Treadmill to build stamina, squats for leg tone, curls for arm tone, crunches for the abs, and some general calisthenics as a warm-up. She wasn't at all displeased by the looks that she was getting, either, especially when she noticed a rather impressive stallion doing bicep curls. He gave her a wink, which she returned, though she wasn't planning on taking any offers today.

Then she ran into April and realized that the squirrel had stopped dead with her large, fluffy tail tucked down against the backs of her legs. The hyena took a quick glance around and couldn't see any reason for it, so she had to ask.

"It's my ex," the red-furred arboreal rodent hissed.

"Your... ex?" Shodan realized that she had no idea what April's last partner had even looked like, but the squirrel pointed quite helpfully. "Is that the dunderhead who won't stop texting you?"

"Yes!"

The hyena wasn't entirely surprised to see that he was a tiger, around six feet tall, and muscular, though not to her own level. He was definitely fit and confident, wearing nothing, with his hefty balls bouncing around as he ran. She never understood how guys could stand to do that when a quick tap against them would put most males on the ground, but she supposed that some men had higher pain tolerances than others. He was going at a decent clip and chugging along, lost to the world with earbuds playing in his ears, so he hadn't noticed them.

"Should we leave, or...?"

"I... uh... n-no, I guess not..." April fidgeted and pressed back against the hyena, though she didn't move to hide behind the buff bitch. "I just don't want a scene."

"Well, I promise not to make one if he tries to make a big deal of things. Trust me?"

"Of course. Okay, well... I guess we should warm up first?"

"Nope. Just you, babe. I'll be watching from the benches. I've gotta stick to my workout routine. If I start adding in extra, I might mess up my metabolism."

Carter offered a hand to the squirrel, and April took it, following behind him as he led her to the mats and started taking her through various stretches. Shodan took a seat on one of the benches that lined the side of the large padded area, usually for spectators during the martial arts demonstrations. The cheetah started taking her through basic stretches, limbering up the body and the legs in particular since they'd be starting off with the cardio. Side stretches, with one hand on the hip and the other arched up overhead; toe touches, which April had absolutely no trouble with; calf stretches, having one foot back with the leg extended, while she crouched over the other; paired thigh stretches, the cheetah and squirrel sitting with paws together and both legs extended, grabbing each other's hands, then pulling the partner forward to as flat as they could go. Shodan's observations were interrupted by a "light" tap on her shoulder, enough to have knocked her girlfriend down but barely enough to rock her own massive form.

"Bit overboard on the GH and 'roids, huh, brah?" the offender said in a joking tone.

It was the tiger, and she had pegged him pretty correctly at first glance. He had the kind of body that took work but wasn't really aiming for anything in particular aside from appearance. He was the kind of gymrat that took a jock mentality of just being bigger and stronger, and therefore "better", than anyone else without any other goal in mind. It wasn't for his health and fitness so much as making himself feel big. She gave him a slightly snarling smirk with her rebuttal, tapping him in the gut with slightly less force than he'd given her as a sideways insult, as if she was afraid that he couldn't take it.

"Nah, brah, all natural and hard work. My parents are hypers, and twice my size, same as my siblings. They're all as big as dump trucks."

He stared at her for a moment, then laughed and tapped her on the shoulder again even harder, enough to actually hurt a little. "Really, brah? Hypers? Don't see 'em around much in the states, or not so much outta tha south or over in Cali. How much can you bench, brah?"

"I can probably bench three of you easily." She pressed her knuckles against his abs and gave him a pair of light pats with the backs of her fingers, a definite insult that made him scowl slightly. "Wanna bench-off, brah?"

He puzzled a bit, probably adding up the sums, while continuing to scowl. "Bullshit. I'm four-fifty and do six."

Shodan just grinned at him as she rose up to look down at him, standing head and shoulders taller. "Let's go over to the weights, and you can show me."

He scoffed to try and hide the sudden burst of insecurity and slight fear that she saw in his eyes, then led her towards the benches. She had purposefully antagonized him, which April might not approve of, but she had done it this way to ensure that her point would be made with a minimum of hassle. She had insulted his masculinity by returning his challenge hits with lighter and lighter taps, and she had bragged that she was far stronger than him, able to lift his weight and then twice more, which his ego couldn't take. So she had a happy gape to her jaws, panting slightly in anticipation, as he began sliding plates onto a bar. Instead of six hundred, he layered on nine with four hundred pound plates, six fifties, and the remainder in twenty-fives. A standard "bench" was ten reps at the weight, and she was worried about him making that many with half again his usual weight. She would have spotted him regardless, but instead of merely standing there, she kept her fingers hovering just below the bar while he lifted. The first three were done with relative ease, the fourth was a struggle, and the fifth made her think he was going to bust a vein before he could get his arms back up straight.

He dumped it back into the rack with a hiss, and lay there panting for several moments before he could speak. "So whatcha got, brah?"

She clasped his hand to help him sit up on the bench then hefted the nine hundred pound barbell, carrying it around to sit it across his lap, lengthwise across the bench so that it was supported. "K. Hold on tight."

Then the hyena laid down and squirmed her way beneath the bench. The tiger gaped at her, but gripped the weight bar with one hand and the seat with his other. It took her a few tries to find a place where she could grip and maintain the balance of the weight, but then she pressed the whole thing upwards with the tiger atop it. The bar had nine hundred on it and was fifty by itself. The tiger claimed another four-fifty, and the reinforced weight bench itself was at least a hundred. She powered through ten reps easily, gave herself a thirty second rest, and did another ten. She was starting to strain slightly by the eighth, but she decided to go for a third set just to make sure it sank in fully, despite the fact that it was rather difficult. Three quarters of a ton, more or less, and she was able to last for almost thirty repetitions. It was an amazing lift for not having warmed up at all. Her arms turned to noodles the second she the bench touched the ground for the twenty-seventh time, and she decided not to push it. She managed to wiggle herself out from beneath the bench, but she couldn't get her arms to cooperate enough to get up.

The tiger was a good sport, though. When he saw that she was struggling, he put the weight bar back onto the rack and clasped her wrist to pull her back to her feet. Then he gave her a very respectful pat on the shoulder, his expression awed.

"No shit, brah! Damn, got any tips? I dunno if I wanna get that bulked, but dude that was beef!" Then he noticed the tag that had been punched into her collarbone, just above her sternum. He squinted to read it, his face lighting up in a grin. "April's Alpha, huh? My girlfriend's named April, too! Don't think I'd want something like that on me, but that's pretty cool. Shows a lotta commitment."

Shodan had to hold back a snort of laughter, covering it by wiping her nose. Heavy lifting put a lot of strain on the body, causing the neck to tighten which restricted blood flow and put pressure on the sinuses, so a runny nose after a big exertion wasn't suspicious. "Yeah, my girl's right over there. She's joining the gym to get some training. Nothing like us. She'll be getting in on the taekwondo classes."

He followed her limp gesture, and his expression turned confused all over again. "April? But... that's... my April..."

"Nah, brah. Mine now."

"Oh..." His expression crumpled, and he looked like he was actually going to cry. He wiped at his eyes and sat hard onto the bench, head hanging and elbows resting on his knees. "I thought... We've had breaks before, and she'd have her fun then come back to me. I mean, this one's been pretty long, but..." He glanced up and saw the hyena's still-hard pseudo-penis, looked it over, then nodded. "Yeah, I guess I don't measure up..."

Shodan couldn't help a soft whine and sat beside him, throwing an arm around his shoulders and pulling him into a side hug. He really was crying, not outright sobbing though she could feel a few shudders pass through him, and trying not to make a public display. He may have been a bit of a jerk jock, but he obviously wasn't completely full of toxic masculinity. She should have known that from the start considering that April had been dating him.

"Hey, it's not about size," she comforted. "Hell, it's not about us, either. It's about what she wants and needs, right? I'm what she wants and needs right now, and I'll keep trying to be that, but maybe she'll find someone else better for her than I am, eventually. All you can do is keep trying to be your best self and hope that it's enough for who you're with, yeah?"

He nodded and peered up at her. "She's happy with you? Like, really happy?"

"I think so. You gotta stop texting her like that, though, brah."

"Cool." He nodded and offered up his fist for a bump. "We good, brah?"

"Yeah, we good." She bumped her knuckles against his then reached down to caress his sheath and sack with a light brush. "Mind showing me what she was used to before we hooked up? I haven't had anything that could give me a good stretching inside me in at least a year, and I know she likes 'em big."

He wiped at his eyes and managed a slight grin, then reached down to begin stroking himself. His hand could just barely wrap around his sheath, which had Shodan licking her lips already, and the pink-red cockhead that emerged was nearly as thick as her own. She moved down off the bench and settled between his legs as he spread them. He flicked his thumbs across the barbs just behind his pointed tip, rippling them like the tines of a comb, and Shodan followed that up with a long slurp that earned her a pleased growl. She had taken him down, and now it was time to build him back up, but she had a feeling that she was actually going to enjoy herself as well. When she took his growing shaft into her muzzle and started sucking, she upgraded that to a certainty. He was almost wide enough to touch the insides of her cheeks, his barbs tickling her tongue and soft palette. She reached up to fondle his balls as he continued to grow, reaching the back of her throat with yet more still emerging.

It had been quite a while, but she tried taking him into her throat. Unfortunately, his scratchy barbs made her choke and cough, but she gave herself a breath or two to clear it and dived right back down. He showed his appreciation for her efforts by resting a hand against the back of her head and scratching at the base of her skull, so she kept on choking it down until it seemed to be as big as it was going to get. When she pulled back, she was suitably impressed. Rising up onto her knees, she pressed her hyper clit against his shaft. She had a few inches on him in length, but he was nearly as thick, which was surprising for a cat. Felines, especially large breeds, tended to have surprisingly small cocks for their size, but this cat was the exception to the rule. She could understand why April had gotten with him, aside from just being big and buff and able to throw the little squirrel around.

She stroked their shafts together a few times then shooed him off of the bench so that she could lay down on it. He took the hint and moved up to sit on the end, lining himself up with her pussy as he gripped beneath her knees. Then he scooted forward and began to press into her just beneath the knot of her pseudo-penis. It had really been too long since she'd had the real thing; the Simu-Real(TM) dildos were good, but there was always that knowledge that it was a fake despite how close the virtual environment and neural interface could make it feel.

And god was she tight down there. It made her whimper as he stretched her. She could understand why Kaliya might have hacked the safeties on her rig; the attachments had hardcoded limits on how large they could make themselves versus the user's physical limitations that the initial testing determined. The neural interface would make it seem larger than it was, but that didn't change real-world limitations. And she was being stretched just getting the tip inside. Then came the prickle of the barbs passing through her entrance. It made her whimper and clench, but the tiger's grip on her legs kept her from squeezing too tightly. They scraped along her inner walls as he kept on feeding himself into her. It seemed like it would never end. The hyena was biting her lower lip and clenching at the edges of the weight bench to keep from making too much noise. Eventually, after what seemed like two feet worth of cock, she felt his balls pressing against her cheeks and his sheath grinding against her vulva. When she glanced down, she half expected to see her stomach bulging from the size, but it wasn't.

"It really has been a while, huh?" he teased, swiveling his hips to stir his cock inside of her. "You ready for a ride?"

"Ooooooh, quit talking and fuck me!" she demanded in response.

He quite happily obliged. Shodan lost herself in the sensations. There was the thickness that strained her inner walls. There were the barbs that scraped against them to add both pain and pleasure, especially when they brushed against her g-spot. There was the smack of his nuts against her rump each time he hilted himself inside her, even starting to tap against her tailhole when he sped up. It made her ache to have a second cock inside of her, but she wasn't going to push her luck. Even if she'd had the mental capacity to call over that stallion, she did need to be able to walk out of the place on her own, 'cause April was definitely not up to carrying her. And then there was his mouth wrapping around the last few inches of her clit to suck and lick and bob while he continued to rut her thoroughly, and she came hard. But the fucking continued. She found herself rolled onto her side, one of his hands holding her leg up against his shoulder while his other stroked along her clit. She came again, and then she found herself on the floor, ass in the air and her chest to the floor. He was giving her a reacharound as he bit the back of her neck and pounded her into the floor mats.

When he finally came, it was a flood of heat that filled and overfilled her until she felt it running down the inside of her thighs, and it sent her over the edge one last time. Then he knee-walked around to shove himself down her throat once more so that she could lick him clean. She quite willingly obliged, enjoying the mingled taste of her own juices and his seed, continuing to slurp at his length until it had fully retracted back into his sheath, then nuzzling and lapping at his balls until he finally pulled away. And he was even gentleman enough to move around behind her and return the favor, though she also felt a cloth stroking at her thighs while he ate her out. She didn't quite get off a fourth time, feeling extremely sensitive and a bit raw after his barbed cock, but it was definitely appreciated.

At last, he helped her back to her feet and gave her another clap on the shoulder. "Good workout, brah! Catch you again next week?"

"Uh... maybe..." Shodan was a bit disoriented, slightly wobbly on her feet, and riding quite high. Then she noticed the red-furred squirrel standing at the edge of the gymnastic mats. "Uh... hey, babe. I had a good talk with your ex."

"So I see..." the girl commented, then waggled her fingers at the tiger. "Hi, Daryl."

"Hey, li'l bit. Nice girl ya got here. Lemme know if you wanna get rid of her. I think she likes me."

April giggled, and Shodan swatted his arm, but she couldn't help but give him a side-hug afterward. "Only if you always fuck like that."

"Catch me next time and find out." He grinned, then gave her another fist bump before heading towards the showers.

"Shows over, squirrely," Carter announced, resting a hand on April's shoulder. "Let's get them legs a-movin'!"

Shodan trailed after and plopped herself down to watch as her girlfriend got on the treadmill. At least tagging along for the girl's workouts was guaranteed not to be boring. She was certainly happy to be back at Carter's, even if she was just spectating.

The End
