>> MATURE because when a tiger turned orca starts playing with his ding dong you have to slap this kind of label on the story.

>> Author's Notes

I originally posted this story on September 10th, 2014, and it became the final commission I'd written in those days. I'd originally written this as a very short story to get right into the meat of the story, however in this remaster I decided to expand upon the theme, breath some life into the parts of the story that I didn't tell back then, and play with my personal storytelling hallmarks more.

I hope the original commissioner, Pouncytaur, is happy with this remaster. He was an early supporter, and I'm happy to have rewritten this.

Horizon's golden embrace fell upon the afternoon, the sun dipping low, casting a warm glow over the bustling beach. The sands, stretching endlessly in both directions, met the rolling waves at the shoreline. The deep blue water mirrored the honeyed sky, and the gentle waves kissed the shore, leaving delicate patterns in the sand, like whispered love letters from the sea. Overhead, seagulls soared, their cries echoing in the distance, while the sky, beset lightly in lavender and coral, promised an impending sunset.

Among the bustling scene, beachgoers in vibrant neons and pastels reveled in their freedom upon the sands, creating a dazzling, living painting. Their fur glistened in the sun, laughter carried on a gentle breeze, and the boundaries between earth and sea seemed to blur into a realm of joy. Amidst this vibrant celebration of life, a few surfers donned bright, glistening wetsuits, their boards ready to meet the rolling waves. The ocean's rhythmic cadence beckoned like a siren's call to those who sought to conquer its surging tides.

On the highway that led to the beach, Rusty cruised in his fiery red convertible, his surfboard hitched at the back. His emerald eyes remained locked on the ocean's vastness, an invitation he couldn't resist. The gentle breeze tousled his chestnut hair, strands catching the fading daylight. Anticipation surged within him as he neared the water's edge, the allure of the waves calling him to their embrace.

Rustmane Skytrekker was a creature of the waves, a tiger of average height with a coat of golden fur adorned with bold black stripes. His beachwear was as steadfast as the tides, a comforting presence against his form, a clear reflection of his enduring love for surfing. Even as a beginner, he wore his passion with pride, for every day spent on the waves was a day well-lived. Wetsuits were his second skin, and he rarely appeared in anything else. It was their embrace that lent him the confidence to chase the ocean's fierce challenges, the sleek neoprenes and rubbers trusted allies against the relentless surf. Today, however, was unlike any other. Today, Rusty sported a special custom wetsuit that had arrived from a promising new company.

Rusty relished the sensation of the suit against his skin, the neoprene material breathing with him as if it were a living entity. It was as though he had been enveloped by the ocean itself, its embrace both comforting and exhilarating. The tactile pleasure of the suit against his body was a sensation he couldn't get enough of. Rusty took in a deep breath, inhaling the salty tang of the ocean mingled with the pleasant, almost earthy aroma of his wetsuit. It was a unique scent, one that had become a part of his surfing ritual.

As he continued his journey towards the beach, the anticipation swelled within him. The combination of the ocean's call and the allure of his new wetsuit filled him with an electrifying sense of purpose.

The arrival of a long-anticipated package from EvoSync flooded Rusty's mind with excitement. For so long, he had eagerly awaited this moment, hearing whispers about the innovative company and its groundbreaking wetsuits, each promising to redefine the surfing experience. He yearned to etch new tricks and movements into his muscle memory, and this brand held the potential to make it happen. The prospect of gaining a competitive edge in his beloved sport had always tantalized him, and now, cradling the package in his hands, a surge of anticipation coursed through his veins.

With careful anticipation, Rusty peeled open the package, and his eyes widened in awe at the sight before him. The wetsuit was a true work of art, a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship that beckoned to him like a siren's call. Its black surface exuded an enticing, otherworldly allure, reflecting ambient light in a way that made it appear almost alive. Glistening with a subtle sheen, it seemed ready to spring to life in the water, as if it were a companion waiting to embark on a thrilling journey with him.

He couldn't wait any longer. The allure of the wetsuit was too strong to resist. Rusty swiftly shed his clothing, revealing his sleek and powerful tiger form. His muscles rippled slightly he stepped into the wetsuit, his body tingling with anticipation. The neoprene material greeted his skin like a lover's caress, cool and inviting.

As Rusty carefully pulled the wetsuit up his legs, it seemed to come alive, conforming to his body's every contour. The neoprene material embraced him with a sensation unlike any other, a gentle yet firm hold that clung to him with unwavering dedication. It glided smoothly against his golden fur, sending delightful shivers down his spine. The way it molded to his form, like a second skin, promised complete freedom of movement in the water.

EvoSync's designers had showcased their creative brilliance in the wetsuit's design. Glossy black hues dominated the canvas, mirroring the natural elegance of the aquatic world. Delicate white piping adorned its contours, tracing lines of refinement that accentuated the suit's streamlined silhouette. However, it was the chest area that commanded attention -- the ivory portion arched gracefully from his chest, cascading down between his legs and ascending to the small of his back. This design evoked the essence of the mighty orca, embodying grace and power in its sleek elegance.

As his arms slipped into the sleeves, Rusty reveled in the sensation of the neoprene enveloping his limbs. His paws found their place within the suit's gloves, and he wiggled his digits, savoring the tactile delight of his gloved extremities. The wetsuit not only hugged him perfectly but also proved functional, with its gloves and footed design offering enhanced traction and control on his surfboard. He couldn't help but marvel at the stroke of genius.

The final step was to zip up the wetsuit, sealing himself within its sleek embrace. As he reached behind him to fasten the zipper, excitement surged through him. The suit clung snugly to his body, becoming an indispensable part of his surfing experience. The neoprene material moved in harmony with his every gesture, a loyal companion ready to conquer the challenges of the sea alongside him.

Breathing in deeply, Rusty felt the euphoria of the moment wash over him. He ran his gloved paws over his body, feeling the exquisite friction of the neoprene against his fur. Every inch of him was alive and charged with an ecstatic energy that made his heart race. He never wanted it to end, basking in the comforting embrace of the fabric, longing for more. It had become a part of him, an extension of his love for the sea, and he couldn't wait to dive into the waves and explore the wonders that awaited him.

Rusty was a tiger possessed. It didn't matter that the sun hung at a seemingly unremarkable four in the afternoon; he was driven by an irresistible urge to be with the ocean, to experience the waves in a way he had never imagined. Time was irrelevant; the call of the sea was all-consuming.

With his surfboard in hand, he leaped into his convertible, its crimson exterior gleaming like a ruby in the fading light. The engine roared to life, and Rusty floored the accelerator, leaving behind a trail of raised eyebrows and curious glances. The tiger was on a mission, and nothing could deter him from reaching his destination -- the beach.

As he arrived at the shore, his excitement reached a fever pitch. Without a second thought, he left his surfboard behind and began a leisurely stroll toward the ocean's edge. He possessed a deep familiarity with a hidden alcove tucked away in the remote stretches of the shoreline. In those tranquil evenings, where nothing but the sand and the sea enveloped him, he experienced the genuine allure of the ocean. It summoned him, embracing him like an affectionate lover. In that sacred space, he felt the strongest connection, akin to sitting on his own front porch, with the ocean as his true home. It was to this hidden haven that he would journey, a place where the familiar trappings of his former self would be left behind, and a new chapter in his aquatic odyssey would begin.

With each step he took on the golden sands, the world around him faded into insignificance. Whether it was the tactile pleasure of the wetsuit's embrace or the very sight of it, he couldn't tell, but his senses were overwhelmed. It was as if he had entered a trance, a state of mind where nothing existed beyond the sensation of the surf against the latex encasing his body.

Familiar faces welcomed him with warm smiles, their voices calling out affectionate nicknames that had become his second identity. People greeted him with friendly waves, acknowledging the beloved surfer they had come to know. Their thumbs pointed skyward in approval, complimenting his appearance in the striking new suit. An exuberant friend even clapped him on the back, the resonant sound of the latex meeting his palm becoming a pleasing melody in Rusty's ears.

He responded with a wide grin, his green eyes gleaming with delight, his mind fixated on a singular need. It was as though he inhabited a world where the wetsuit was his sole reality, and everything else was a mere backdrop. The beachgoers may have seen a tiger in a remarkable wetsuit, but to Rusty, he was now something more -- an aquatic explorer, a creature of the ocean, a surfer whose connection to the sea was deeper than ever before. The wetsuit, that shimmering masterpiece of design and technology, clung to him like a second skin, a latex lover that beckoned him into its embrace. It was a symbiotic connection, one that transcended the boundaries of ordinary apparel. The neoprene material felt like a second epidermis, a sensual cocoon that enveloped his entire being.

His breathing grew heavy as he felt the latex almost become tighter against him, somehow slipping into his hole. He shuddered with anticipation as he imagined it inching closer and closer, finally filling him up completely. His erection seemed to grow in size, pressing against the tight material that remained between heaven and hell as he continued on his journey, playing the little fantasy in his mind. What an intoxicating thrill; the thought of being filled up full while everyone went about their everyday lives, unaware of the lust coiled within. Transfixed upon his destination, all he had to do now was make it to the water's edge and let go, revel in the sensation of being surrounded by rolling waves, and taste sweet pleasure.

As Rusty approached the coastline of his private sanctuary, far from the prying eyes of onlookers, a wave of rapture overwhelmed him as he moved with a trance-like grace. The fabric of his wetsuit shimmered as it seemed to take on a mesmerizing transformation, its rubbery surface gradually liquefying like a surreal mirage. Perhaps it was the relentless kiss of the sun or the ocean's siren call playing tricks with his mind, but it captivated the surfer.

The material flowed and melded with Rusty's body as if guided by some otherworldly force. It began to cascade down his form, a liquid embrace that adhered to his form, enhancing the sleek contours of his physique. The wetsuit's black surface seemed to ripple and shift, responding to the changing landscape of Rusty's body.

A surreal sensation washed over him as the neoprene transformed, arousal surging through him as it molded around him with an almost sentient intent. It was as if the wetsuit had taken on a life of its own, a living entity that sought to merge with its wearer. The material tightened subtly, accentuating Rusty's toned abs with a seamless, liquid caress. His golden fur was kissed by the latex, drizzling down his arms but catching around his forearms in an intriguing manner. It was as if he had developed a pair of sleek, streamlined fins, a subtle transformation that sent shivers of delight coursing through him.

Yet, Rusty welcomed this evolution with an open heart and a radiant smile. It was not a cause for alarm but a revelation, a destiny fulfilled. The wetsuit's enigmatic changes only deepened his connection to the ocean, strengthening the bond between man and sea, between tiger and orca.

His gaze remained fixed on the horizon, the vast expanse of the ocean beckoning him like an old friend. It was where he truly belonged, where he felt complete. As he strolled along the coastline, the tide moved in harmony with him. After all this time, the ocean felt like home, his true home. The surf caressed him with a tenderness he had never known before, an embrace that whispered secrets of the deep. In this surreal moment, Rusty knew that he was becoming a part of the ocean's song, a harmonious note in its eternal symphony.

A shiver of anticipation raced through him as he savored the solitude of his secret haven. His body began to tremble with pleasure as his manhood grew taut, pushing against its latex confines and curving outwards in a passionate plea for freedom. The material clung lovingly to him, yielding just enough to accommodate his surging erection while encasing the rest of him in an enclosing grip. His skin ached with need beneath the warm embrace of the latex cocoon that had formed around his hips and waist.

Rusty felt himself swell with anticipation as his erection rose in response. He saw the clear droplets of his own seed glisten in the light of the setting sun, and brushed his now webbed fingers across them. He traced his transformation from paw to hand, noticing how the latex had hardened between each digit, wrapping itself around him like a second skin and completing the oceanic dream he'd been harboring for so long. His body ached with pleasure as he thrust his webbed rubber hand against his sensitive flesh, sending waves of bliss up his spine.

In a state of pure euphoria, Rusty surrendered himself to the most profound pleasure he had ever experienced. Throughout his years as a tiger, he had longed for a sensation of such magnitude, an ecstasy that transcended the boundaries of the known. Now, as he willingly embraced this transformation, the wetsuit's alchemical magic enveloped him, and he was immersed in an ecstasy that defied description.

His back arched slightly as he leaned backward, his eyes gazing skyward in rapturous surrender. Every change that occurred within him was a symphony of sensations that danced across his senses. His legs, no longer digitigrade, underwent a remarkable transformation, elongating and gaining strength. Beautiful black fins gracefully unfurled from his calves, adding to the graceful symmetry of his new form. His toes merged together, webbing forming between them, granting him greater mobility in his newfound aquatic realm.

The rhythm of his breath had shifted, now emanating from a point on his back, just above a majestic dorsal fin that had emerged from the latex's embrace. His arms, already powerful, now bore two magnificent fins that sprouted upwards from the sides of his forearms, completing the transformation of his limbs into sleek appendages designed for the embrace of the ocean's depths.

Overwhelmed by the sensations, Rusty gasped and sank to his knees as he felt his tail pulse with life. It had been his loyal companion, and now it too underwent a transformation, as the latex gracefully encased and reshaped it. Fins emerged from the very tip, their undersides a pristine white in striking contrast to the rich, inky black that adorned his new form. The underside of his tail took on a pristine white hue, the design harmonizing with the white accents that now adorned his taut stomach and chest. Beads of sweat trickled down his brow, a testament to the intensity of the change that had swept over him.

Only his head remained untouched, a last bastion of his former identity. Yet, whether or not he was still himself, whether or not he had willingly chosen this path, one thing was certain -- this was the journey his mind had chosen to follow. He had embraced it wholeheartedly, determined to savor every moment and revel in his new life. His eyes fixated on the vast expanse of the ocean before him, the sun's final rays slipping below the horizon. He was ready to chase the sun, to explore the boundless world and, most importantly, to explore the depths of his own being.

The latex continued its ascent, slipping up his neck with a fluid grace. Rusty's grin persisted; his latex-addled consciousness convinced that this experience would remain as pleasurable as it had been from the very beginning. The material flowed smoothly, reshaping his lower face to be smoother and more rounded, white patterns creeping up his neck and kissing his lower lip. His nose took on a subtly flattened profile, nestled against his face as the latex progressed up his cheeks.

For a brief moment, as the latex flowed past his eyes, he was blind to the world. Yet, there was no fear within him, only an unwavering trust in the transformation's purpose. The liquid latex continued its journey, enveloping his scalp with ease, each strand of chestnut hair disappearing until the top of his head was smooth and glistening. A pair of white spots encircled his eyes, a striking design that added to the intrigue of his new form.

The metamorphosis was complete, and all that remained of his former identity were his eyes, the windows to a world forever transformed. With a jubilant howl that resonated across the beach, Rusty reveled in his rebirth. His former tiger body was now encased within a rubbery orca skin, and every sensation, every nuance of his new existence, overwhelmed him with sheer exhilaration. He felt his breaths coming from his back, the sensation of his paws against his new skin. Was it still a suit? Was it truly his own skin now? He knew it wasn't permanent, but for this moment, it was his identity, a manifestation of his deepest desires and a gateway to an uncharted aquatic adventure.

As Rusty stood on the shore, his body newly transformed into that of an orca, he was filled with a sense of wonderment and exhilaration that was unlike anything he had ever known. The latex wetsuit had woven its magic, turning him into a creature of the sea, a being that belonged to the depths, and he was eager to explore his newfound form and abilities.

Kae'likio.

As the tide flowed past his webbed feet, he couldn't help but feel the name echo in his mind. It flowed seamlessly with his aquatic identity, as if destiny itself had whispered it to him.

With fluid grace, Kae'likio rose to his new aquatic feet, his gleaming orca body radiating in the soft twilight's embrace. He turned to cast his gaze upon the distant beach, where laughter and play echoed in the breeze. It was a place he had called home, a cherished memory from another lifetime, and yet, the call of the unknown beckoned him.

With a powerful leap, his muscles rippling against the rays of the setting sun, he plunged into the ocean, the water enveloping him like a lover's embrace. As he descended beneath the surface, a sense of calm and familiarity washed over him. It was as though he had returned to a home he had always known, but had never truly experienced in this way before.

The underwater world revealed itself to him in all its splendor. The water was crystal clear, allowing him to see with astonishing clarity. Shafts of sunlight pierced through the surface, creating intricate patterns of dappled light that danced around him. Schools of fish darted past, their scales shimmering in a dazzling display of colors.

Kae'likio marveled at the sensation of movement as he swam effortlessly through the water. His new body was sleek and powerful, a perfect blend of agility and strength. His webbed feet propelled him forward with remarkable precision, and he reveled in the sensation of the water flowing smoothly over his streamlined form.

As he descended deeper, he was greeted by a breathtaking panorama of the underwater world. Coral reefs stretched out before him, their vibrant hues a testament to the diversity of life that thrived in these submerged gardens. He watched as an elegant sea turtle glided by, its movements slow and graceful. It was a world filled with wonders, each corner holding a new discovery, and Kae'likio couldn't help but feel like an explorer in uncharted territory.

His senses were heightened in this underwater realm. He could hear the gentle rustling of seaweed as it swayed in the current, and he could feel the subtle changes in water temperature as he moved through different layers of the ocean. It was a sensory symphony that filled him with awe and reverence for the beauty and complexity of the sea.

As he swam deeper into the abyss, he encountered a magnificent underwater canyon, its towering walls adorned with colorful sponges and sea fans. The sensation of weightlessness and freedom was intoxicating, and Kae'likio let out a joyous exclamation that was swallowed by the water.

He tested the limits of his new body, executing graceful twists and turns, his dorsal fin slicing through the water like a blade. He marveled at the way his body responded to his every command, the transformation allowing him to effortlessly adapt to the ocean's rhythm. It was a dance of fluidity and grace, of the perfect harmony between man and sea.

Kae'likio swam deeper still, descending into the abyss where the sunlight could no longer reach. Here, the world took on an ethereal quality, bathed in the soft glow of bioluminescent creatures. Strange and wondrous forms glided past him, their otherworldly beauty captivating his senses.

He paused for a moment, hovering in the darkness, feeling the gentle currents caress his body. It was a moment of profound stillness and connection with the ocean, a moment where he felt at one with the vast expanse of water that surrounded him. He closed his eyes, letting the sensation wash over him, and he knew that he had found his true home, a place where he could explore, discover, and revel in the mysteries of the deep.

With renewed determination, Kae'likio continued his underwater journey, the ocean's secrets unfolding before him. He was no longer just a surfer; he was an aquatic explorer, a creature of the sea, and he was ready to embrace the endless adventures that awaited him in this mesmerizing underwater world.

As he descended into the dark depths of the ocean, he felt an electric anticipation surge through his veins. He reveled in the silence and stillness that was so different from the chaotic clamor of surface life. Every inch of his new body felt alive and as he allowed himself to explore it, a feral hunger and insatiable lust overtaking him as sensations he'd never felt before surged each contour of his muscular figure. He felt raw power radiating from his every move, and a profound pleasure he had never experienced before coursed through his every fiber. He moaned softly as he pinched his rubbery nipples, eliciting a hiss. His cock slipped out from his loins gently in response, as if awaiting this moment of exploration.

He grasped his thick cock, feeling its rubbery texture against his hand. His breathing became heavy as he moved it around himself fervently, drooling out milky cum and reveling in the unique pleasure it brought. The salty currents were quick to intermingle with his seed, and carry away his essence.

He was quick to generate more, his balls churning out more and more of his white, sticky cum. He sighed as he stroked himself in the water, feeling his cock pulse in response.

He leaned back and began slowly jerking it, creating a rhythmic current around it that carried away his cum. He could feel the pressure building up inside him, and he knew it wouldn't be long before he released his load.

Kae'likio felt a new kind of pleasure surging through his veins as he continued to explore his body. His hands moved faster now, lathering his thick cock with cum as the electric sensations kept coming. He felt himself growing more aroused with each passing moment, and suddenly an overwhelming force overtook him.

He gasped in delight as an intense orgasmic wave surged through him, sending new spasms of pleasure throughout his body. His cock pulsed and overflowed with cum, creating a milky current that swirled around him in the salty water. With each new movement, more cum was released and carried away like a tidal wave of ecstasy. Kae'likio basked in the sensation, feeling more alive than ever before.

The ocean caressed and enveloped Kae'likio's body, welcoming him as one of her own. And he felt a peace and tranquility he had never felt before, now that he was one with the sea.

A smirk played on his face, though, as he felt his loins continue to pulse with desire. Kae'likio trembled with anticipation as he felt the warmth of pleasure build within him, and ran his hands across his body with feverish intensity. His grip on his cock was tight, and he pumped faster and harder until a symphony of pleasure filled his ears. His orca body felt like it was burning up from the inside out as he massaged himself, the shocking contrast between the frigid ocean water and his own internal heat creating an electrifying sensation that left Kae'likio shaking. The pleasure took hold of him completely, sending jolts of electricity through his veins as he panted heavily with satisfaction.

The sheer intensity of it all was overwhelming and drove him into a state of pure ecstasy. His maw opened wide in a blissful expression as he pleasured himself with an exquisiteness he had only ever dreamt of. With every stroke of rubber against rubber, he could feel the exhilaration building within him. Never before had he felt so alive, each movement electrifying his senses until they reached a fever pitch of blissful agony.

A rush of pleasure shot through his veins. His giant orca phallus was slick with arousal, his hands rubbing over it with wild abandon. This is what he'd been dreaming of, yearning for, wanting deep within the depths of his soul. Strong and powerful, a demigod amongst the waves!

He unleashed a passionate roar as his cum shot forth like an electric line, tingling all over his body. His powerful orgasm surged through him like molten lava as he emptied himself into the waters. Thick streams of orca cum and milky essence surged from within creating a wild current that rocked against his hypersensitive body. His hips bucked forward in fervent ecstasy, ramming his throbbing cock deep into the salty abyss, his desires to release intensify with each passing moment.

Kae'likio's body shivered with pleasure as a current of ecstasy surged through him, the force of his orgasm shaking him to his very core. His orca seed flooded out of him in ribbons of creamy pleasure, each wave pulsating with more intensity than the last. Everywhere he touched was blessed with a heavy payload of his creamy, thick cum. His thunderous cries echoed across the tide as he writhed in unbridled joy, every inch of his being alive with the rapture of sexual liberation. His senses were alight with bliss, and his still-erect phallus was drenched with unimaginable indulgence.

Kae'likio's euphoric rapture lingered, leaving him suspended in an ocean of his own pleasure as streams of slick, greasy seed cascaded around him like a protective cocoon. The surge of the waves slipped against his body and he welcomed their embrace, allowing himself to sink deep into the depths. His cock contracted and tucked away between his legs until its services were needed again, but for now, his heart was filled with a profound sense of solace. A newfound realm of wonder had opened itself up to Kae'likio and it felt almost too perfect in its fluidity. He had come home. This was a sanctuary he'd been longing for.

He dared to open his eyes beneath the water's surface, casting a gaze upon the sleek contours of his rubber orca body. With a serene exhalation of pure satisfaction, he acknowledged the splendor of this transformation. Every facet of his altered form, every sinuous movement through the depths, spoke of a harmonious fusion between man and sea. It was a form that bore the elegance of an aquatic deity, a creature born of the boundless deep. The transformation was undeniable, complete in its splendor, and Kae'likio marveled at how right it felt. There were no remnants of doubt, no lingering whispers of uncertainty. Everything simply fell into place, as though the universe itself had orchestrated this symphony of rebirth. The ocean had become his haven, an embrace that recognized him as one of its own, and the realization washed over him like a soothing tide.

With an exuberant flourish, Kae'likio's hand curled into a triumphant fist, ascending towards the heavens. His jubilant cheer, though muted in the watery depths, resonated with a fervor that echoed through his soul. He was no longer Rusty, nor did he yearn to be. He had embraced a new identity - one that spoke of the sea's essence, one that celebrated the boundless depths of his own being.

Yet, as he reveled in his newfound aquatic existence, a distant memory beckoned from the horizon. The shoreline, once his home, now lay afar, a beacon of nostalgia on the edge of his consciousness. A yearning to return to the surface, to cast his gaze upon the familiar world from this evolved perspective, tugged at his essence. However, the allure of his transformed self and the enigmatic depths of the ocean persuaded him to linger a while longer.

Perhaps someday in the endless expanse of time, he might return to his former tiger form. But in this precious moment, he reveled in the extraordinary gift bestowed upon him, a transformation that opened the door to an uncharted realm he had once only dreamt of. He would not squander it.

Turning back to face the vast expanse of the ocean, Kae'likio surrendered himself to the depths once more. With each graceful dive and playful maneuver, he explored the world beneath the waves, the mysteries and wonders of this underwater realm unfolding before him. With every stroke of his powerful fins, he followed the shifting hues of twilight, embarking on an odyssey of self-discovery and boundless adventure, a creature of the deep, at one with the ocean's timeless beauty.

For now, Kae'likio would chase the horizon.
