#5 of The Perfect Storm Series


Author's Note: Sorry for the delay on this chapter. And, starting on this chapter, I'm going to start using the little part in the beginning I'd been using to describe the virus, to write little blurbs on current events in this universe, things that, normally, I probably wouldn't write about. Hope it goes over well.


As the city slowly adapted to its changes from the Proteus virus, many wondered its source. No one seemed in a hurry to rid themselves of the changes, but curiosity is human nature. Hospitals and schools slowly came back to the city as their staff began to research their changes.

The official name for the virus, Proteus Syndrome, came from a patient in one such hospital. Before the outbreak, he'd been brain dead for nearly a year, kept alive by ventilators and intravenous feeding. Doctors said he'd never recover, and that for all intents and purposes, he was dead, but his family kept him alive anyway. When the outbreak occurred, it took a while for the virus to make its way through the coma wards. While many doctors and nurses didn't abandon their duties of keeping their charges alive, there was a definite attention shift. Many found themselves too caught up with their sexual urges. But a few kept to their duties, stretched thin over the wards, but they managed them well, spreading the virus as they went.

As the brain-dead man was infected and changed, he miraculously gained consciousness. Though after the changes, he was more of a she than anything, becoming a hermaphrodite like much of the population. But she wasn't who her family remembered. This new person knew nothing of her old life... but she knew a great many things of the virus and how it worked, wild theories that turned out to be true, medical knowledge beyond the doctors working there. She claimed she was the incarnation of the virus itself, the tickle in the back of everyone's mind. She said because her body was brain dead, there was nothing but her mind in there, and thus she could control it.

She called herself Proteus, after the shapeshifting, primordial sea-god. The First-Born.


I wandered down the dimly lit hallway towards my friend's room. Given all the talk of an epidemic sweeping the city, and my parents being out of town, my friend Emily invited me to stay with her until the whole thing blows over.

We'd been best friends since primary school, and had just recently graduated from high school together. For now we were free, no worries until we went off to college in the fall. The past week we'd just been hanging out like it was one big slumber party, talking about boys, watching girly movies, as well as some dirty ones.

I knocked once on the door and immediately opened it, spotting Emily on the other side of the bed, wearing a one-piece purple bathing suit.

I quirked my eyebrow up and asked, "You going swimming?"

"Well I figured a quick dip in the hot tub might help clear up that cold you've had for a few days. How's that sound, Maggie?" she replied and tied her long brown hair behind her in a ponytail.

"Sounds good... You have another swimsuit around here anywhere?"

"Sure, bottom drawer there," she pointed at one of her dressers.

I moved over to it and began sorting through the bottom drawer. I picked out a cute little white and blue one-piece similar to Emily's and showed it off to her, "How's this one?"

"Good choice. You get changed, I'll meet you out there," she said and smiled, walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.

I stripped off and looked at myself in the mirror quickly, marveling at how good looking I'd gotten in the past few days. It must be the new diet and exercise, I was looking quite fit and lean. I could even make out quite the six pack forming on my belly. Looking a bit lower I noticed my clitoris was looking abnormally large, as it had since yesterday.

I touched it lightly and sighed as it shot pleasurable jolts of electricity through my body. It was becoming more sensitive, I knew it... but wasn't painful, so it didn't really bother me that much.

Shrugging, I slipped into the swimsuit and looked at myself again. The suit clinged to my hips and breasts tightly, my nipples immediately hardening and almost visible through the thick material. I ran a hair through my short black hair and wiggled my butt just a little at the reflection, then laughed and walked out, grabbing a fresh towel from the bathroom.

I walked out onto the patio in back of the house and spotted Emily slipping into the large, bubbling hot tub. I tossed the towel onto a nearby lawn chair and followed Emily into the tub, slipping down into the hot water and sitting on the ledge opposite of Emily. "Ah, this does feel good..." I muttered.

"Doesn't it though?" Emily said and swung her arms alongside the edge on either side of her, closing her eyes and relaxing in the water.

I did the same; sitting back and feeling the hot water warm me up. I could feel the water heating me deep down into my core and, after a few minutes, I noticed my chest congestion seemed to be gone. I said as much to Emily.

"Told ya so, Maggie. See, aren't I a great friend?" she laughed and settled back into the tub.

I laughed with her and said, "The best, Em."

I shifted around in the tub a little bit, getting more comfortable, until I felt one of the water gets pass over my nether region, eliciting a jolt from my clitoris. I jumped a little and instinctively pulled away from the jet. Emily seemed not to have noticed. She almost looked like she was napping.

Cautiously, I moved over to the jet again, feeling the warm pulsing across my crotch, exciting my clitoris even more. Watching Emily carefully, I slipped one hand under the water and began rubbing at my crotch. I could feel my clit throbbing, which made it feel even hotter.

Emily's eyes opened for a moment, and I quickly moved my hand to my side and looked away. She murmured and closed her eyes again. Once I was certain she was nodding off again, I began rubbing my clit again. To my surprise, when I felt it again, it felt much larger... at least twice as big as before. It felt like a rather large nub, like the end of a marker.

I wanted to get up and go look at it, but I didn't want to risk Emily seeing it, so I stayed put over the water jet. Murring softly, I kept rubbing at it, feeling it get larger and larger under my fingers. I looked down, trying to look at it through the bubbling water, but I couldn't see over my breasts, which seemed to have gotten larger as well. Not just that, but they seemed covered in short, pale fur which was rapidly darkening...

My clit continued to grow, pressed between the suit and my belly. After a little while, it began to feel like a small penis and I was rubbing at my suit furiously. No amount of rubbing seemed to alleviate the feelings inside me, however.

I looked at Emily again, my eyes running across her body. I watched her chest heave with every breath she took, her nipples rock hard just above the surface of the water, poking through her swimsuit. I took in the wonderful curve of her neck as she leaned her head back. And the freckles on her face, just under her eyes...

I'd always been attracted to her, for as far as I can remember... I'd never told her I was bisexual, for fear of driving her away. But now... now I just couldn't help but think about her. Think about all the things I wanted to do to her. Consequences be damned.

I stood and moved over to her, straddling and sitting on her legs as I kissed her full on the lips. She jumped and opened her eyes, staring at me in disbelief until I broke the kiss. She stared at me for a minute before touching her lips with one hand, and then said, "Ok... what was that all about?"

Smiling back, I settled down on her legs, making sure she couldn't go anywhere and replied, "What do you think? I've always liked you, Em. You know, that special kind of like. I've always wanted you... I was just too afraid to tell you." I put my hands on her breasts and began to softly massage them. "I hope you're not too upset with me..."

She looked at me again, several emotions crossing her face. "I know I should be... but I guess I always knew. That was all I needed. I leaned in and kissed her again, still massaging her breasts.

We broke the kiss after a minute, both gasping for air and I slipped back into the hot tub, giggling like mad. The object of my affection didn't reject me... I was in heaven. I sat back up on Emily's legs and played with the end of her ponytail a bit, still giggling.

Emily quirked an eyebrow and looked closely at me, "Um, Maggie... I think you got a little something on your lip there..." I felt my face, finding a light covering of fur as well as whiskers on either side of my nose. I fiddled with them, getting used to the new sensations. It felt odd, like little twitches beneath the skin, subtle, but there.

I looked back at Em and saw she had a smattering of fur on her face as well. I grinned wide, "Looks like I'm not the only one who's changing, hm?"

Emily felt her face, and the fur, and frowned for a moment. I wrapped my arms around her neck, bringing her in for another kiss. Our whiskers rubbed together ever so lightly, sending shivers down my spine. I leaned back and stood up in the middle of the tub.

My body seemed to have grown quite a bit since I'd gotten into the hot tub. My suit clung to me and was painfully tight around my hips and bust. So, giving a lust-filled smirk to Emily, I slowly began to slip out of the one-piece, first pulling each strap down over my shoulder. Then I slowly wriggled it downwards until my bountiful bosom sprang forth. Emily returned my smirk with a smile and sat forward, her lips firmly clamping over one of my nipples and one hand moving to massage the other.

I moaned quietly and slipped out of the suit fully, tossing it over the patio railing and into the yard. While Emily sucked on my tits, I reached between my legs, feeling something new and exciting... Where once my clit was, engorged as it had been, was now a throbbing, meaty cock. I couldn't see it over my breasts and Emily, but it felt like it was a good seven or eight inches.

A pressure at the base of my spine made me look back, just in time to see a tail beginning to grow behind me. As Emily moved to my other tit and began licking and sucking, I watched my new tail grow. It started thin, but soon thickened, especially around the base. And right before my eyes it sprouted fur, which quickly darkened into a dark brown. It reminded me of an otter's tail, in fact.

I looked forward and watched Emily for a moment longer, my new manhood positively throbbing as she greedily sucked at my teats. Finally I just couldn't bear it and pushed her backwards and sat on the opposite side of her.

"You want me, hun? I'd try holding your breath," I said as I motioned under the water to my manhood. Her eyes searched the water for a moment before she saw it. Her eyes widened, and so did her mouth, into a big grin.

"Why yes ma'am, why don't you time me? Let's see how long I can hold it," she replied and dove face-first under the water. A second later, I felt her hand wrap around the base of my penis, firmly but gently. And then I felt it: her lips wrapping around the head of it. Oh such strange feelings indeed... It felt like my clitoris, but more spread out, a wide area filled with the same nerves.

I moaned lightly as her tongue ran across the sensitive underside. Both of my hands moved to the edge of the tub, gripping it tight as her head bobbed up and down on my cock, creating waves in the water that splashed over the side.

I felt her lips tighten around my shaft, along with an incredible sucking sensation that made me gasp a little with pleasure. I could feel her tongue, rough and bumpy, hungrily licking at me, rubbing along the underside of my member. Gasping again, I clenched the sides of the hot tub tight. Tossing my head back and giving a deep long moan.

Not a moment later, I felt the warm presence of Emily's mouth disappear and she burst out of the water, gasping for breath. I gave her a warm smile as I saw her tan and brown, furry face, with a hint of a snout and whiskers. She returned my smile and leaned in to kiss me. I returned it with full force, pulling her close, up onto my lap, with my dick sandwiched between the two of us.

While we kissed, I put my hand under the water and pulled the crotch of her swimsuit aside, then lifted her up with the same arm, and lowered her, pussy first, onto my waiting cock. We both moaned into each other's mouths, breaking the kiss to gasp for air once again.

There was a devious twinkle in her eyes as she began to gyrate her hips, making me shudder with pleasure. The feeling of her tight, pussy... the delicate intricacies of her folds... the raw power that came with knowing you were inside someone. It made me feel hot all over. More hot than the hot tub had made me in the first place.

She gripped the edge of the tub on either side of my shoulder and I gripped her hips gently. Slowly she brought her hips up, and then back down onto my cock. I leaned in, kissing her neck, arms, anything I could get my lips on as she did so. A little moan escaped our lips each time I thrust back into her.

We kept it up as long as we could, going slow and gentle, savoring every moment. We weren't having sex. We weren't fucking. We were making love. We both knew it. The twinkle in her eye said it all. She loved me as much as I loved her.

That realization hit me like a truck, my whole body tensing as I felt a powerful, warm sensation centered on my new cock. It spread outwards, nerves firing at each other like little soldiers, guns blazing; it rippled across my body. Pow, bang, they went, like little shivers. The ripples kept going, until they came back onto my cock, the heat now unbearably pleasurable.

I clenched my eyes shut and groaned deeply, gripping Emily's waist tight. My dick quivered for a moment and, like all the little nerves, fired away, shooting my seed deep into her womb. She must have came too, I'm sure I heard a primal scream of ecstasy come from her mouth at the same time.

We sat there in the tub for a few minutes longer, kissing and whispering sweet nothings into each other's ear. Finally we decided to get out, and Em stood, letting my now flaccid penis slip out of her. We both readjusted our swimsuits and got out of the pool, still hugging each other close.

"I love you, you know," I whispered into her ear.

She rest her head on my shoulder as we walked inside and replied, "I love you too. Now and forever."

I smiled contentedly. As we passed a mirror in the hallway, I noticed small bulge in the crotch of her swimsuit... rather like my own. My smile turned into a grin and we both looked at each other with a twinkle in our eyes.
