The Barista

*****

Miami was fabulous but very hot. Both temperature wise and in terms of eye candy.

And where we stayed was a very gay area. Wherever you looked, there were fit young men, fit middle aged men, fit older men, and loads of bears and twinks, all showing off on the beach. We indulged in huge drinks, delightful coffee and pastries, heaping piles of Cuban food. Took in the sights. Quickly realized we would be taking advantage of overpriced cruise laundry service because we were sweating through everything. And in the evening, we fucked like rabbits — very sweaty ones.

By the time we boarded the cruise, we were already in very happy vacation mode, and the cramped quarters and tiny shower didn’t phase us much.

*****

I’m ashamed to say that we were quite irresponsible that first day on the boat with unlimited drinks. Stevie got completely wasted and passed out, and that left me with a giant dick and no help dealing with it. Since I was also pretty drunk, I decided to suck myself off, and when I was something closer to decent, decided to go for a walk while he slept it off.

It wasn’t my smartest move, in retrospect. I was drunk, annoyed with my boyfriend, and wandering aimlessly on a cruise full of gay men looking for action. Before I realized it, I’d drawn a bit of a crowd as I chatted with a very hot Serbian bartender named Nickola. Men found any excuse to brush against me as they vied for Nickola’s attention. This particular bar was getting very boisterous.

“Hello, Mr Olympia!” Shouted a very handsome ginger, probably in his late 20s. “What’s a hot young slab of beef like you doing sitting alone here?”

“Just watching the people,” I said.

“Well, that’s only fair. Most of them are certainly watching you!!” He threw an arm around me. “Damn, you are one solid boy!”

“Thanks, I guess,” I mumbled.

“Dane! Come here and feel this arm, oh my god!”

Dane, it turns out, was built very much like me, but about a size smaller. He was wearing a very snug polo and he had enormous pecs and thick arms. He was dark haired and had a very Gallic nose, and handsome features.

“What’s your name, stud?” The ginger bubbled.

“Caleb,” I slurred.

“I’m Ritchie. This is my buddy. Dane works out too!”

“Nice to meet you, Caleb,” Dane said, then leaned forward. “You are hot as fuck,” he said in my ear. “And I bet you’re packing as much as I am.”

Oh, I was pretty sure I’d win any such contest. “Thanks,” I said.

“First cruise?”

“Yeah,” I said.

“It’s our third. And speaking of thirds…” he leaned in close, “Ritchie and I are very, very open to some fun, if you’re interested.”

My dick was already starting to chub up, and it twitched as it crept down my leg.

“God damn,” Ritchie said in awe. He reached out and touched me. “Jesus, is that thing for real? Dane, I think he’s at least as big as you!”

Danger! Warning! I needed to get back to the cabin now, before things got too crazy. I was only wearing board shorts and a t-shirt, and there was no way to hide what was about to happen if I didn’t escape.

“Sorry guys, my boyfriend is calling,” I said. “Maybe another time?”

My dick wasn’t hard, yet, but it was on its way, and I needed to adjust before walking became impossible.

“Anytime,” the ginger shouted. “I’m a fucking size queen and Dane is VERY competitive!”

Somehow I extracted myself, shifted the Problem Child to a better angle, and staggered off to find my cabin. The main corridors were pretty full and it was only about 11pm, but somehow I found my floor and then our room.

“Where did you go?” Stevie said. “I woke up half an hour ago and you were gone.”

“You were passed out drunk, so I decided to see if I could catch up,” I said grumpily. Even I could hear the slurring in my words.

“Sorry,” he said. “Guess you were successful.”

“I got hit on,” I said as I pulled off my shoes.

“And?” There was a bit of ice in his tone.

“They offered a threesome,” I said, shucking my shirt. “I almost said yes.”

“Huh. So why didn’t you?”

“Because I’m here with you, dummy.” I pulled my shorts off and my dick began to erect in earnest.

“Damn right you are. Besides, with that thing, you’ve already got a threesome. You, me, and him.”

“Well one of us was too drunk to do anything a few hours ago,” I said.

“Yeah, well, sorry. I thought we were both drunk.”

“We were. Now I guess I’m drunker than you are,” I said.

“Hey, I’m sorry. But this is kind of dumb. You are just grumpy because you wanted a fuck and I was out of it. So let me guess: you got more attention than you bargained for.”

Shit, he was right.

“”And then you started to get a boner the size of Cleveland, so you ran back here.”

“Yeah.”

“How much did you have?” He said, pulling me into bed by the dick.

“Like three more?”

“I remember about five each before we came back here,” he said, counting them on his left hand.

“Sounds about right.”

“Guess you do have some limits,” he said, and kissed me hard.

“Mmmph,” I said. “I wanted YOU,” I said.

“You got me,” Stevie replied. “So we should fool around and then get some sleep, okay?”

Ten minutes later, we had a lovely orgasm together and fell asleep.

*****

The next day was all at sea, and we somehow escaped the hangovers we expected. I persuaded him to join me and check out the gym, after we fucked and ate breakfast. It was surprisingly decent.

“Wouldn’t kill you to put a little meat on your bones,” I teased.

“I’ve never been much of a gym rat,” he said.

“Maybe you just needed the right trainer,” I said.

“Just don’t make me do squats,” he said. “My butt’s already big enough.”

But he agreed to do a bit of cardio, and then I walked him through a beginner workout. He wasn’t super enthusiastic, until I reminded him that I’d been doing those same beginner workouts for a couple months when we met, before I had my little fountain of youth moment.

Eventually he said he was done, and just wanted to watch me work out. By that point there were more people in the gym anyway, including quite a few athletic guys. I began to do a more usual workout for me, which mostly meant I was close to the maximum loads for most of the machines. The music was good and I felt like showing off for my man, and I got into the zone.

For another 45 minutes, I hit all the stations I could, while Stevie sipped his smoothie and watched with rapt attention. I only had eyes for him, so I didn’t notice how the other patrons watched, and stared, and adjusted themselves.

We showered and headed off to get a snack before loafing at the pool for a while. We had too much fun slathering lotion all over each other, but after an hour in the hot sun, we decided to look for other activities — after a quick return to our cabin for some nookie. Then the casino and the shops for a bit, then dinner, then a show…all the while ignoring the stares we got. Let’s not forget, Stevie was hot and packing, and I was huge, and it was a gay cruise.

*****

It was the third day when I noticed my shirt was a little snug. My new shirt.

Let me backtrack a bit.

We’d pulled into port overnight, and it was one of those ports of call where you are technically in the Caribbean, but you’re basically in a little beach and pile of tourist shops that exist purely to serve cruise ships. Our whole plan was to sleep in, eat, and then go swim in blue water and sip drinks on a tropical beach. We had t-shirts and swim trunks, a bag with some lotion and towels, and not much else beside a bit of cash for impulse buys. It was blazing hot, and after a short while I decided to go for a swim.

Stevie had way too much fun spraying me down with waterproof sunscreen, complaining that I was using it all up because I had so much surface area. But he wasn’t much of a swimmer, and was very much enjoying relaxing on shore. So I smooched him and then I traipsed off into the surf, oblivious to the stares of maybe fifty fellow tourists. I didn’t really notice until I looked back to try to find Stevie, and suddenly I felt dozens of pairs of eyes, some hidden behind sunglasses or hats, but many blatantly watching.

I was caught a bit off guard when one of the men on shore began to whistle and clap, and his little group of friends joined in. I was emerging from the water looking a lot like Daniel Craig in that first Bond flick, but the big difference was that Daniel Craig wasn’t carrying quite the same weapon as I was. I glanced down and realized my flaccid dick made for an insane bulge, which hadn’t been noticeable with a dry suit, but wet? It looked like someone tried to shrink wrap a zucchini from my crotch to my hip bone. I’d put on a hell of a show.

Red faced, I hurried back to Stevie, who had fallen asleep.

“Stevie,” I said. “You’re on my towel, hon.”

He blinked awake, shook the fuzziness from his skull, and then took me in.

“Shit, Caleb. Those don’t leave much to the imagination when they’re soaked.”

“Apparently half the beach noticed before we did,” I said.

“On the bright side, they’re not white,” he said. Then he squinted at me thoughtfully. “Damn, you look hot as hell.”

“It’s about 95 degrees out here,” I said, wrapping my towel around my waist for modesty. I yawned and stretched, flexing unconsciously as I did so.

“No, I mean YOU. You look amazing. If I didn’t know better, I’d wonder if you started the treatment again. You look huge!”

He wasn’t wrong; I felt pretty big, and the salami in my trunks was no exception. But it had been at least a day since we’d hit the cruise ship gym, so I could rule out lingering effects of that pump.

“It’s probably the light,” I said.

“If you say so.”

We lay there for a while until Stevie decided to go splash around in the waves a bit. I was feeling self conscious about how little these shorts hid my cock, so I stayed where I was. But even then, I could feel the eyes on me. I was definitely being ogled, and though I tried to tune it out, people weren’t exactly subtle. Several folks suddenly had a burning need to walk right past me. Problem was, I was apparently developing a hint of a fetish for that sort of appreciation. And once my dick started revving up, well, it created a logistical problem. I pulled on the tee, figuring I would use that to help keep my junk out of direct view, but it felt super snug in the shoulders. If I tried to hide a foot and a half of steel under that tee, you’d notice.

Stevie came back just in time; I sensed the couple behind me edging their way toward me.

“Too hot now. Wanna beat the rush and go back to freshen up before formal dinner tonight?”

“Sounds good, but I need a minute here,” I said. “I don’t think I can walk just yet.”

After ten minutes, not much had changed other than a growing sense of being ogled. Stevie got a cup of ice water and “accidentally “ spilled it on me, hoping the shock would soften me up — and it helped, thank goodness. Sensing our window, we packed and headed back to the ship with Stevie’s towel thrown over my shoulder to help cover up my dick, should it get unruly. Luckily it stayed semi-soft til we got back to the cabin.

At which point we dove for the bed and began our afternoon session, followed by a nap. There wasn’t any way two of us could fit into the shower together, not given how much of it I took up. While Stevie was in the bathroom, I pulled my new shirt out and shrugged it on.

It was a little tight.

It hadn’t been tight two days ago. I think I was still lost in thought when Stevie merged and gasped.





*****
 
We had brought a tailor tape so Stevie measured me. I wasn’t imagining it — I was half an inch bigger across the shoulder and three quarters of an inch bigger in the chest.

“But why? We’re both still using the patches. You haven’t grown in a long while now,” Stevie said. “You’ve barely looked at the gym for weeks now.”

“I’ve just had a disturbing thought,” I said. “We know there’s a thing where I respond to your pheromones; what if I’m responding to the lust signals of other people too?”

“Oh,” he said. “Fuck, we’re on a gay cruise. If you’re getting dosed by everyone who thinks you’re hot…”

“They can’t all be lusting after me AND compatible enough to trigger the effect,” I guessed.

“Still, babe, there’s 3,500 people on this ship and you are objectively a very hunky man. And you look a lot younger than you are.”

“Do you remember what Dr Morris said about the likelihood of complementary genetics?”

“I don’t think he gave us any numbers,” Stevie said.

“Let’s see if we can get in touch,” I said. “Because either we’re bouncing off each other again, or someone else is triggering it.”

“The beach wasn’t just our ship, though. There were two cruise ships there. Although,” he said, thinking aloud, “I’d guess there were maybe 300 people on the beach yesterday. Plus staff.”

Luckily, we had sprung for an internet plan and we reached out immediately via email.

“Do you want to do room service, just to be safe? Might be better to avoid the crowds,” Stevie asked.

“I didn’t spend all this money to hide in my cabin all week,” I said, grumpily. “We’ll take our chances. Just keep your eyes peeled for anyone staring too hard.”

“If you say so, but that isn’t likely to narrow things down much…”

Luckily the day seemed to pass without incident, and it occurred to me as we were finishing a pretty big lunch that we’d used the laundry service to wash some clothing right after we boarded, because it had gotten super sweaty in Miami. I convinced myself that the shirt had simply shrunk a bit, and it wasn’t anything to worry about.

*****

I was wrong.

By dinner that night, we hadn’t heard back from Morris, and we’d convinced ourselves that it was just a normal fluctuation and a bit of shrinkage on the shirt. It wasn’t like I blew the seams out or anything.

But then after dinner we decided to hit the casino for a bit, and I cajoled Stevie into learning Three-Card Poker. I gambled occasionally, always mindful of the odds and within a very limited budget. But I’d had luck with slots so I was playing loose with the house’s money. The table minimums were within budget and the vibe was good.

We started off with a rather nice couple of hits almost immediately (beginner’s luck!), and then started drinking. And the lucky streak continued for a long while – if I wasn’t winning, Stevie was. Drinks and good times flowed and we were engrossed in the game. About 90 minutes after we sat down to play, the place was packed, and Stevie and I had attracted a LOT of attention. It was pretty warm and our table in particular had a big crowd of onlookers. The dealer was very sexy, the table was running hot, and most of the people playing were good looking.

I’d been letting my side bets ride, and I’d just hit a couple hands in a row. So there was $150 sitting on the side bet – and that’s when I hit the royal flush. 1000 to 1 payout.

Stevie and I leapt to our feet, screaming in celebration. Everyone was happy for us (except the casino, one imagines), and all eyes were on us as well. Even after taxes, that was a pretty huge hit – easily enough to pad things out while I found a new job. It was a game changer.

We colored up our chips and went over to the cashier to collect. It took a while and while we waited, everyone seemed to be watching. They even had a security guard stand by us. On top of the big payout, we were also up overall for the day – after sitting down with less than $300 for me and $150 for him, the two of us had over $1200 in chips after tipping generously. Plus a bunch of tax paperwork and a wire transfer receipt for $150k and change.

When you have a big win like that, things get weird. You’re in a strange headspace. Plus, in our case, we were already pretty tipsy.

Cut to two hours later when everyone had been our friend and we’d spent a few hundred dollars celebrating with a bunch of hot guys. The party continued to the adjoining bar where I have only fleeting memories. I know at one point we were making out with several guys, and things were getting a bit too risqué for the cruise’s comfort, so they shooed us all away and cut us off. Stevie, me, and two other guys – Richie and Dane, the very same guys who’d hit on me that first night – ended up in the Schooner Bar with a hot Thai bartender heavy pouring our last call. We were shirtless and just this side of an orgy.

“OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT OUR SUITE,” Richie bellowed as we staggered out of the bar. And so we did – and damned if they didn’t have a huge suite. Apparently Richie was a trust fund boy. And the room had a king size bed that we all, remarkably, fit into.

At that point, things got even hazier.

****

When I woke the next morning, it was to a gasp from an unfamiliar voice.

“Holy jesus, that’s unreal,” Richie said. “You’re fucking MASSIVE!”

I looked down and immediately sobered up. Between my straining pecs was a scaled up version of my dick… which was already huge when I boarded the ship. Now it was, as Richie had said, unreal and fucking massive. And still hard.

I’d grown. And as Stevie roused and we extracted ourselves from the tangle of Dane’s long sexy body and Richie’s nonstop appreciative chatter, we tried to escape to our cabin to assess the damage. I ended up borrowing one of their long robes, because the enormity of my cock would have rendered me obscene.

My shirt – my new oversized Hawaiian shirt – didn’t fit me properly anymore. And back in our cabin, Stevie measured me.

I’d put on two inches in the chest and arms and shoulder; basically I’d gone up an entire shirt size, and added another inch and a bit to my cock’s length – it was nearly 17 inches long when erect. Hopefully at some point I’d be able to get a flaccid measurement. I’d also gotten at least an inch taller, and probably put on at least 20-25 pounds.

“The shorts should still fit but the shirts are going to be a challenge.”

“Getting this fucker to go soft is a bigger challenge,” I groused. “How long were we at it with those guys?”

“At least three hours I can mostly remember,” Stevie said. “Shit, I’d never had a threesome before, and we went right to foursome. Though you might technically count as two people yourself.”

“At least this stretchy underwear still fits. Barely,” I said. Fancy briefs with an oversized pouch, these were dark blue. There was so much of me stuffed in them, the material was stretched thin, leaving little to the imagination. The same company made my swimsuit.

“Well, at least that works for later,” Stevie said. “Or did you forget there’s an underwear party tonight?”

Some part of me knew it wasn’t a great idea, but I was grumpy about my condition limiting my plans for the trip.

“Sounds good,” I replied.

*****
 
We spent most of the day in our room, ordering food and trying to connect with Dr Morris without much luck. (The internet sucks on cruise ships.). Plenty of sex, and then we showered and got ready for the nighttime party.

“My boyfriend is the hottest,” I said, appreciatively. He looked good, to the point where I wondered if he was toning up deliberately or just as a side effect from all the sex. He was always sort of naturally fit, and didn’t do much to maintain it unless I prodded him.

“Babe, you’re SO wrong. Because I clearly win on that front.” Stevie had to look up a bit to me now, and I was half again as wide as he was. “Big strong boy with a big strong —“

I kissed him to shut him up.

Yeah, we were smoochy. Can you blame us?

Somehow we kept things rated PG, and made our way to the nightclub, where the party had clearly already started. The music was loud and catchy, and the room was full of hot men in sexy skivvies, bouncing around happily or seductively. We grabbed some very strong drinks, downed them, and took it all in for a few before we joined in.

It had been a long time since I’d been to a proper club party, and this took me back to the days when gay dance clubs thrived. Stevie had been excited because by the time he was grown, they’d mostly gone away outside of the biggest cities, so it was a new and rare experience. The music was somehow timeless and yet the vibe hit that sweet spot that made everyone feel welcome. I found myself dancing with abandon in a way I hadn’t done for years. Half an hour after arriving, I was downing my third drink and getting very buzzed, while my boyfriend danced beside me.

What I didn’t quite clock was that I was attracting a lot of attention. Dozens of lustful eyes were fixed on me and Stevie as we playfully bounced and occasionally kissed deeply. I hadn’t realized how my foot long soft cock and big balls had stretched the blue undies, or how my ass and pecs bounced, or how the sheen of sweat trickled visibly over my abs into the treasure trail. I was mostly either focused on my boyfriend or immersed in the vibe.

It was inevitable, I suppose. Because a few hundred horny, sweaty, drunk, gay men were going to find me attractive, and the room already reeked of arousal. And the drinks had hit me hard, but they’d hit Stevie even harder. Our guards were down and our inhibitions were disabled. Bodies pressed in all around us as the crowd got rowdier.

The working theory is that all that lust focused our way primed both our pumps, so to speak. We’d weaned ourselves off the suppression patches a while back, and the puberty blockers had run their course. Well, it seems the episode at Dane and Richie’s successfully triggered a bit of a relapse, which seemed to have kicked that door back open, at least a bit. And once that door was open, it got compounded by a room full of sweaty, aroused men.

For the first time, I actually felt it kick in. First, I began to feel lightheaded as my blood began to rush and tingle everywhere in my body. Then, an intense hunger and thirst slammed into me. I felt my stomach gurgle.

“I’m fucking starving, let’s grab a quick bite,” I shouted at Stevie, who laughed and agreed. Once we exited the club, we hit the 24-hour canteen across and up a level — pickings were limited, but they had pizza and hot dogs. I didn’t care how long it had sat there, I was ravenous. It was after two slices of pepperoni and two hot dogs that I suddenly realized this wasn’t normal at all.

“You okay, babe?” Stevie asked. He was chewing on a slice of cheese pizza and had a concerned, if slightly non-sober expression on his face.

“Something’s up. I think I want to go back to the cabin,” I said. It wasn’t that hard to talk him into it. My bones began to ache as we staggered back to our cabin.

*****

“Shit,” Stevie said. That’s how I woke up.

“Ugh,” I replied, my head pounding. “I feel like I got hit by a truck.”

“If you did, you were the one driving it. Or maybe the truck itself.”

I raised my hand up to my forehead and immediately knew something had shifted. It was like there was something in the way of bending my arm.

It was my arm. Getting in its own way. Fuck, what had happened?

“You okay ?” He asked.

“Not sure,” I said. “Guess we will see.”

“Can you stand up?”

“I hope so, I need to pee.”

When I stood up, the room looked oddly short. I wobbled over to the bathroom and ducked to enter it, then pulled out my dick to piss. Once that finished, I looked into the mirror.

It was immediately obvious that I’d grown. I was definitely taller, at bare minimum. But I was also a lot more muscular, to the point where you’d see me and assume I was competing in a contest someplace. Everything bulged, and now that I’d drained the lizard, my cock was starting to wake up. Silently blessing whoever made the undies I wore, I tucked the monster back into the straining briefs. How was the material so stretchy?

The face in the mirror looked mostly the same, but a bit less young. Mid twenties again, though how much of that was the way my bone structure had gotten slightly more masculine. My jawline was sharp and square; you could see the muscles move when I clenched my teeth. I needed a shave.

I was never a particularly hairy guy, but this latest burst seemed to have changed that, at least a bit — a dusting of golden blond hair had grown across my chest, before darkening as it danced down to my pubes. There, it had grown quite a bit thicker, and my legs were considerably furrier than they’d been last night.

The dysmorphia began to grow. I was having serious trouble connecting my mental map of myself to the creature in the mirror. The other changes had been gradual, or gradual enough, that my brain could catch up. But this time? It felt explosive, swollen, unreal.

“Babe?” Stevie’s hands reached around my midsection, tentatively.

“Yeah, it’s me, apparently,” I said, worriedly.

“Damn,” he said. “You must be pushing 7 feet tall, you know. And about that wide.”

“I noticed,” I said.

He stroked my chest, though he had to reach up to do so as he swung around in front of me. “All that hair is new, not sure how I feel about it.”

I grunted. I wasn’t sure either.

“Can always shave it. And you might look hot with a full beard.”

“At this rate, I’ll have one after breakfast. It’s pretty itchy.”

“Talk to me,” he said.

“What do you want me to say? I’m a freak. A reeking beast.”

He squinted and frowned at me — and then slapped my dick, hard.

“Ow!!!”

“Do I have your attention?”

I nodded.

“You are not a freak. You’re the biggest, hottest guy on this whole damned boat. You’re my boyfriend and I love you. And we will figure it out. Together. Got it?”

“Yeah,” I said. God, my voice had gotten deeper, too.

“Good.” He leaned over and hugged me hard. “Now let’s assess the damage, and then we’ll figure out what to do next.”

*****

The damage was …a lot.

I was 6’9”, but the weight would have to wait until we found a scale. My chest was now 60 inches around, my waist a solid 38, and my biceps 26 inches.

“Yikes,” Stevie said. “This is utterly ridiculous,” he said, stretching the tape along my flaccid dick. “You’re 14 and a quarter soft.”

“Um,” I said. “That’s not going to last for long.”

Indeed, it was already rising. And rising.

And rising.

“Twenty. Well, and a bit. Twenty and an eighth.” He shook his head. “I’m huge and you are more than two of me. Any bigger, and you’ll need a leash for this thing!”

“Not really helping,” I grumbled. And I wasn’t entirely sure the idea of a leash didn’t stir some naughty thoughts up.

“Okay, let’s take care of this, and then get some breakfast, okay?”

*****
 
Easier said than done. Luckily, Stevie had a big dick and knew how to use it. He knew what I liked and how I liked it. And we’d had lots of practice getting there.

But my dick was stupidly huge, even on my huge body,. and as I curled back to receive Stevie’s cock, my own was right there, and while he pounded my prostate, I gripped and yanked my pole until hot jets of jizz exploded toward my waiting mouth. Some of it even made it into my mouth, but the wall, the sheets, and my hair were sopping with cum by the time Stevie unloaded into me.

Then, we had to deal with the logistics of showering in a space built for a normal man. It made almost as big a mess as my jizz had, though we took pity on our cabin steward and did our best to wipe that up.

I’d grown so much that the clothing situation was dire. The first two t-shirts simply burst. It was an unbuttoned shirt or nothing. The shorts fared a little better, but I had to layer them with the stretchy faux speedos, just to contain my junk. It mostly worked, at least enough to keep me from being obscene. Hopefully nobody noticed I was walking a little funny.

I banged my head on at least two doorways as we made our way to the buffet.

*****

Of *course* Richie and Dane were there.

“Holy fuck,” Richie said, giving me possibly the gayest up-down-glance assessment I’ve ever received. “Did you *eat* the poor boy?”

“I’m right here,” Stevie said from somewhere behind me.

“Damn, bro,” Dane said, materializing from somewhere with a plate full of a giant omelet, a slab of beef, and half a dozen slices of bacon. “I really want some of whatever you’re on.”

“You really don’t,” I said.

“Sounds like there’s a story. We’re sitting over there if you want to tell it,” Richie said.

We decided to join them; there wasn’t much point in trying to hide, not at this point. We needed bloody marys and coffee, stat. And as soon as we ordered those, we were off to load up.

Stevie still had an enviable metabolism, and he’d been eating a fair amount on this trip. But my hunger – actual normal hunger, not the horny kind – was nearly lethal. My stomach was growling actively, so I ate a pastry and some bacon while I waited for the 3-egg loaded omelet (sausage, spinach, mushrooms, herbs, cheese), dropped it off at the table, then ate another pastry while I was loading up another plate with potatoes and meat. I was desperately ravenous and began shoveling everything in. I didn’t even realize I’d been zoned out while I ate, until I realized someone had said my name.

“Sorry, what?” I winced.

“I said, save some for the rest of us,” Richie giggled.

It took another 3-egg omelet, half a plate of prime rib, another mound of potatoes, 2 bananas, a bowl of broccoli salad, a bowl of grits and a plate full of grilled mushrooms, and probably half a pound of bacon before I was sated. Plus half a pitcher of bloody mary and 3 more cups of coffee.

“Damn, bro,” Dane said. “I thought I was bulking, but that’s insane. That has to be like 4000 calories, minimum.”

“Clearly it’s going RIGHT to his …” Richie arched an eyebrow and looked down.

“Everywhere,” Stevie said. “He ate like this last night, too.”

“You’d know best! But all of,” Richie gestured, “THIS has come from somewhere.”

“I should feel gross after all that. I ate more than the rest of you combined! At least the pain finally stopped,” I said. But you couldn’t tell – there was, charitably, a slight bit of stomach bloat, but nobody would notice it because if your eyes made it that far, my giant fucking package would pull the eyes further south.

By this point, the tables nearest us were empty, so Dane leaned in conspiratorially and asked in hushed tones: “How the hell did you put on all that muscle overnight?”

I debated what to say.

“I had some hormone therapy a while back; this seems to be a side effect. We’re waiting to hear back from the doctor, but hopefully this is the last of it. Can’t say more because of NDAs.”

“Is that also why you appear to be smuggling a toddler in your trunks?” he asked. “Because if you got that through a shot, everyone will want one.”

I sipped at what I’d decided was my last breakfast drink. “Apparently I’m the only one who got this particular set of side effects.”

“Beats the hell out of bitch tits, heart problems, and memory issues,” Dane said. “My old lifting buddy got some black market HGH and it fucked him up.”

“You’re hunky enough for me, sweetie,” Richie cooed at Dane. “No need to go chasing more muscle.”

“Trust me,” I said. “I stopped chasing size at least a month ago. Too much of a good thing.”

“Speaking of….” Richie said, “did I hear correctly that you hit it big last night?”

“Possibly.”

“Nice. Any plans?”

“Not specifics,” Stevie said. “We talked last night and decided to blow a little and bank most of it. I’m finishing a degree and I work in a coffee shop, and the scrawny waif across from me just got laid off before this trip started.”

“After this trip, it’s back to the grindstone for both of us. Literally in my case, at least until Caleb finds something new.”

I was eager to change the subject, so I asked about where they lived – and we were all surprised to find that we lived maybe an hour from each other. They’d been together for a few years now after years of flirting at each other. It’s a common enough dynamic.

Eventually we decided we would exchange contact information.

After breakfast, we made our way to the shops, hoping to find something that would make me more presentable. Pickings were slim, but at least one pair of oversized shorts was available, and a shirt made for a much fatter man, though it barely reached my hips. Better than nothing.

Then back to the room, where I whacked my head again.

“I don’t think I like being this tall,” I said, rubbing the bump on my noggin.

“Awww, my big strong man hurt his head?”

I’m sure my eye roll was audible. Then, as if the bump on the head had jogged my memory, I had a terrible thought.

“Shit, Stevie. My passport. It lists me at 6’1 and 230. And look at my face!” I looked a lot younger in real life.

“Huh. But you were taller than that when we boarded.”

“I’m nearly 6’10” now, and if I’m not at least 300 pounds, I’d be shocked.”

“I guess we play it off as a typo?” Stevie hazarded. “That’s if they look real hard.”

“Fuck, what if they don’t let me back in?”

“They will. They let you board the cruise and your face matches closely enough for the TSA checkpoint.”

“I guess,” I said. Then, remembering one of the reasons we’d come back, I pulled out my tablet and checked the mail with that shitty onboard wifi.

“Babe! Dr Morris finally replied!”
 
*****

Morris’s email didn’t inspire confidence.

First: Call me as soon as you’re in a port where your mobile phone works. Don’t worry about the time. I’ve attached my personal cel number.

Second: do your best to avoid contact with too many people.

Third: try to avoid too much physical activity, by which I expressly mean both the gym facilities and the personal time with Stevie. The last thing you want right now is vigorous activity. Instead, go for things that relax you.

I may have more information when you connect on the phone.


“Goddamn it,” I shouted. “Too fucking little, too fucking late.”

“Babe—“

“No, I’m allowed to be pissed,” I said. “Avoid people on a cruise ship! Avoid your boyfriend and sex and working out!”

“I know. It’s not really helpful.”

I pounded the little half desk, and heard a loud CRACK in response.

“Are you trying to wipe out your winnings in damages?”

“No…” I replied, chagrined.

“Then rein it in, Dr Banner.”

I stopped and took a very deep breath, willing myself calmer. He leaned up and kissed my forehead.

“Okay. Go for things that relax me, right.” I said. “I could go loaf by the pool, except the chairs aren’t really made for a guy my size, and most of my clothing options are a little problematic. I could go soak in the hot tub, but they’re pretty crowded and I don’t want to risk it.”

“What about a massage at the spa?”


*****

I’d never done a proper spa massage and pampering session. Most I’d had was massage therapy after a frozen shoulder incident. Whereas Stevie had a cousin who worked for one of those places and had done it once. And it turned out Richie and Dane were happy to pull a string or two to get us in. Richie advised us to go ahead and avoid the salon products upsell, and tip well.

God DAMN is it worth it.

We opted NOT to go for a couples’ massage, because the thought of being turned on had become dangerous. Besides, we could afford a one-time pampering session. The deluxe package included sauna, hot soak, deep tissue massage, facial, and mani-pedi. We chose separate massages — hoping to avoid unnecessary potential triggers of the lust spiral pheromone thing – but the rest of the time was luxurious settings, fantastic views, herbal tea, soft music, and holding hands. The staff were all incredibly good to us.

Then we got haircuts. All of it cost ridiculous amounts of money, but what the hell.

Five hours later, we emerged from the spa feeling utterly relaxed and entirely rejuvenated.

When we got back to the cabin, there was a note slid under our door.

Hey sexy boys, join us for dinner tonight, 7pm, meet at Schooner bar? Richie and Dane.


And of course we realized we hadn’t turned on our phones. When we did, there were multiple texts from them, saying basically the same thing. I texted back that we were in.

“Did you order something?” Stevie asked while I fiddled with my phone at the desk.

“No,” I said.

“Well, those clothes we sent to be washed are back, but there’s also a ridiculously huge robe that may actually work, and a massive pile of linen that might be a shirt in your size.”

It was a very long white linen shirt, probably meant to fall mid–thigh on a normal sized person, and also a set of loose linen tan “island” pants that were meant to be tied at the ankles. Both of them actually fit me.

“Gonna bet this is Richie as well, though where he found this is anybody’s guess.”

“At least you have something nice to wear tonight.”

*****

Richie of course had sent the gift, for which I thanked him.

“Please, sweetie. We saw it at a shop on shore, and I got one for Dane, too — they look so nice on you big boys. Plus, it looked like it would fit and unless I miss my guess, you don’t have many options right now. I’d have bought more but the lady said that was the only one in that size. But we have a little shore time tomorrow before we have to be on the boat again, so I told her we’d be back – looking for a larger size!”

Dane’s shirt was also off-white, and his pants were in a sort of faded turquoise color.

Apparently the suite the boys had was part of a VIP area and they had a special dining area. Same food as the fancier restaurants downstairs, but we were away from public eyes. And that meant fantastic food and service, but it also meant we didn’t have to deal with stares and sweaty strangers. (Though I did see another famous closeted gay actor and his boy toy splashing around in the pool, but I won’t out him here.)

It had been nagging at me for a while, but over dinner we found out Richie’s parents owned a stake in the cruise line, apparently. Hence the royal treatment. He was, in fact, obscenely wealthy, and seemed all too happy to share it… And Dane and he were pretty serious about each other. When they realized they liked us as friends, they decided to make our cruise memorable. Score one for them so far.

“Of course, when you showed up the next day five inches bigger all over…” Richie laughed. “My baby here got all jealous.”

“I did not!” Dane said. “I was envious, not jealous.”

“Fine, fine, you win,” his boyfriend laughed. “But we had a long talk this morning, and we decided we all get along really well and we should hang out more. And I also figured you might be a little sick of all the public attention you were getting. Et voila!”

“And just so you know, this isn’t because of the sex, though that was hot, and it wasn’t about whatever captain america serum you’re on. It wasn’t because of anything else.”

“I mean if you WANT another foursome, I’m game,” Dane laughed. “But that monster of yours isn’t going anywhere near my ass again. Stevie’s is about all I can handle.”

We chatted some more, and I tried to steer that conversation far from the topic of my oversized junk, or the way I’d been growing. It was normal stuff, the kind of basic social interaction I’d rarely excelled at, but which Stevie was well steeped in. Social graces, chit-chat, all that stuff was….well, more work than I typically wanted to do for long. It’s one reason I had few friends. Plenty of acquaintances, people I was friendly with, but not many of the deeper friendships I saw in others. Most of my contemporaries, even the queer ones, had moved away or become parents, or otherwise become unmoored from the dock of my life over the past five or ten years. We were still friends but didn’t hang out as much as we used to. Tony had moved to Seattle for work, Jon and Xavier were in Atlanta and had adopted a kid, and Alice and Sash’s twin six year olds occupied all their time. I came to realize I wasn’t great at instigating contact without proximity, and I tended to miss out on things because I didn’t want to disrupt my routines.

But then Stevie happened, and it was awesome to have someone else in my life — even before we properly began a relationship. Sometimes you don’t notice you’re lonely until you suddenly aren’t, I guess.

Somehow Richie and Dane filled a need I didn’t know I had, and suddenly I realized I already thought of them as proper friends. Later Stevie would tell me he felt the same.

We spent much of that night doing nothing but learning about each other. Natural chatty conversations, gentle teasing, occasional deep questions, all of it. Hours passed before we noticed, after a fantastic multi course dinner with wine and cocktail pairings. Somehow that Michelin worthy meal took second fiddle to finding out Richie had a birthmark he never noticed until Dane showed up, or that Dane’s first time with a man was with his step-cousin, followed by his first time with a woman the next night — that step-cousin’s twin sister. Stevie confessed to mooning over a girl for two years in college, only to discover (when they undressed) that he liked boys better.

Eventually the wait staff asked us to clear out and continue elsewhere. So we wound up walking the deck for a while enjoying the night air and the moon on the water.

“Feeling relaxed now?” Stevie said, snuggling into my side as we watched the waves ripple. Dane and Richie were doing much the same a few feet away.

“I am,” I said. “It’s probably the first time all cruise that I haven’t been stupidly horny. You?”

“Relaxed,” he answered back. “But if I’m honest…”

“Yes?”

“Well. Let’s just say I’m trying to be mindful of what the doc said.”

“I didn’t say I wasn’t horny at all, you know.”

“Sorry sweetie. Doctor’s orders, no hanky panky for a bit.”

“Cuddling is nice too.”

“Some of us aren’t quite so unstoppable as you are,” Stevie said. “I could use a little recharge time.”

We let our friends know we’d be heading in for the night, and planned to meet in the morning.

None of us noticed the figure in the shadows.

Binge read this. I love it. I need visuals. How do they look like. the size differences through the stages. it’s just too good.
Glad you’re enjoying it. For this story, I avoided giving full descriptions on purpose. Let your imagination run wild. However, aside from unrealistic cocks, Caleb and Stevie have mostly realistic proportions. Caleb looks built and has continued to get bulky without being cartoonish, Stevie is naturally toned but not particularly athletic looking.

“Sirs? It’s Gervaise, I have a little breakfast for you, may I open the door?”

“Just a sec,” I said, half awake.

For the first time in days, we were actually decent, having fallen asleep in undies. I pulled up the sheets for modesty; Stevie was still snoring next to me. “Okay, it’s safe.” He entered with a tray laden with food.

“Ah, sirs. We have here some smoothies and omelets, and toast, and bacon and coffee. With compliments. Please enjoy. I will be back in a little while.”

It smelled amazing, enough that it roused Stevie.

There’s something about the food on cruise ships that makes you want to eat, I suppose. We both tucked in enthusiastically.

Unfortunately there was something in this particular meal. I’d inhaled about half my smoothie, and Stevie perhaps a third of his. We had each had a bite of omelet, and some bacon and coffee, when the drug kicked in. I saw Stevie nodding off with a piece of toast in his mouth like a Japanese school girl, and realized my vision was blurring. And then, nothing.

*****

“He’s waking up,” a voice said.

I groggily opened my eyes and went to wipe them, only to be stopped by the discovery that I was tied — no, strapped — to some sort of frame. I was blindfolded and gagged, apparently.

“He’s so hot,” another, rather swishy voice replied. “But he’s huge. Are you sure that’ll hold him?”

“It’s industrial strength. It secures lifeboats. He’s not going anywhere.”

I could swear I only dozed for half a second.

“Where’s Stevie,” I growled.

“Your boyfriend is fine,” the voice replied. A hint of an accent, too.

“He better be,” I said.

“He will sleep for a while yet, I think. You were out for some time, but your boyfriend here is half your size. We didn’t want to take chances so we drugged it all for someone your size.”

“Here,” another voice said. I felt a straw touch my lips, and I realized I was utterly parched. I think it’s a common side effect of being drugged. Whatever the case, I eagerly sucked down the liquid. Apple juice, maybe?

“You must have been thirsty. Now we wait for that to kick in.”

“Fuck, what did you dose me with?”

“Just some fun party drugs to loosen you up.”

Fuck, they had no idea what they were about to do.

I cautiously flexed and pulled a bit — nothing budged. I was pretty sure I wasn’t wearing anything, either. It had to take several men to move me; no telling how many, but at least three or four. It sounded like Stevie was here in the room. But there were enough other masculine smells that I couldn’t distinguish his scent.

“What is it you want from us?” I asked. “You must know we don’t have much cash, just the winnings from the other night. And we don’t actually have that yet.”

“We don’t want money,” a different, more masculine voice said. I almost recognized it. “We want you.”

Hands began to grope and caress my body.

“You never heard of asking?”

No answer. The hands on my neck and shoulders worked their way down, their electric fingertips leaving trails of shivering excitement as they went. There were at least five hands me, meaning at least three people. Meanwhile another hand found its way to my nethers, and I could feel my massive dick begin to roar to life.

“Christ, sir, that is a huge cock!” An astonished voice proclaimed. “Never have I seen the like!”

“And yet somehow his lover took it. What a magnificent challenge.”

“It’s unreal, I swear he’s bigger than the other night….” An incredulous voice said behind me.

“They both had these patches,” another voice said. “We pulled them off when we took their clothes. Some kind of hormone thing?”

“Gotta be steroids or something,” this from a gruff voice – American or Canadian.

“Please,” I begged. “Let us go. The patches are — I have a medical condition, my doctor told me to avoid sex for now!”

“Sure he did.” The voice in front of me said. “That’s why you’ve been fucking like rabbits all week.”

“No, I just heard back from my doctor today!”

“Then you have a challenge ahead of you. Try your best. Let’s see how long you can hold out, that’s more fun anyway. I bet this fucker of a cock makes a hell of a mess….”

Crap, if they’d pulled off the patches, then we were in trouble. I had the distinct impression that those blockers were the last line of defense.

Whoever it was leading the pack — it didn’t sound like our steward, though I was pretty sure one of the other voices was him — was clearly no stranger to edging someone. And for the next half an hour he did so, building and stoking my desire and guiding the other hands to assist.

It was having the desired effect. I was sweating profusely, and my pulse pounded in my head. I had to be pouring out the pheromones now, like I had in the club, and if Stevie was in the room, he probably didn’t even need to be conscious for the effect to kick in.

My erection was painful now, no doubt helped along by whatever date rape crap and offshore viagra they’d spiked my water with. And with their talk of upping dosage, it was possible they’d scaled up the dose given my size. I was truly fucked.
 
Things get quite blurry after that – a haze of moans and fucking and orgasms, mostly, with a lot of the smell of sex and men. My eyes remained covered the whole time, I think, but i’m pretty sure there were half a dozen of those bastards, and the way they had me strapped to storage frames, they took turns or teamed up to have their way with me. I know at one point there two guys were in me, while another was fucking himself as best he could on my pole. But no faces, no names.

*****

“Babe, talk to me, find my voice, come back to me,” Stevie was saying, over a lot of background chatter.

I opened my eyes. At least two medical staff and some kind of police officer were in the room, looking me over presumably. Everything was still a little blurry and I had a hell of a headache.

“Stee? Wha happa?” I managed to say. My throat was dry.

“Oh thank god,” Stevie said, throwing himself against me.

“Mr Caleb, I’m Doctor Gomez. I’m going give you some water, sip it slowly please.”

“Fanks,” I said. “Bleh. What happened?”

“Some fucking maniacs kidnapped us! If Dane and Richie hadn’t thrown a fit when we didn’t show up for brunch…”

“We can cover specifics in a minute, and you’ll need to give a statement shortly if you can. But for now, eh, we need to make sure you are okay. We haven’t been able to take you to the hospital,” Dr Gomez said.

“Why not?”

“Because you would not fit on the stretcher,” he said. “You are the largest man I have ever seen.”

“Oh shit,” I said.

“Yeah,” Stevie said. “It’s…a lot.”

The doctor asked me several questions about the date, who was president, the usual stuff. As I answered, my vision cleared up a bit, but I could tell by the angle that I’d probably grown significantly, even if Stevie hadn’t confirmed it before.

“And how old are you?”

“39,” I said.

“Astonishing. I would have guessed at least 15 years younger, based on your skin and face.” He scribbled some more notes down. “Steven says you are part of a medical study?”

“Yes, but there’s an NDA. I can’t tell you a lot.”

“He said that it was a hormone treatment and you have grown taller as a side effect. I am only 162 cm, I might wish to have this side effect myself!” Then he grew more serious. “But you must be at least 210 cm tall. At a guess, given your physique, you must be 150-170 kilos.”

“That’s about 7 feet tall and over 370 pounds,” Stevie said.

“It is only a guess,” Gomez said. “You don’t seem as surprised as I would expect.”

I just stared off into space, leaving him to continue.

“There is also the matter of the genital swelling. I do not wish to shock you, but the men who took you and brought you here, they seem to have done something to your…” he looked uncomfortable, before continuing, “your penis and testicles have extreme hypertrophy. I confess I have never seen anything like this.”

I sighed. “How bad, Stevie?”

“I did the measurements myself. As flaccid as we could get you, you’re about 17 inches, but …shit, babe, you really got the whammy this time,” he said. You were at about 25 when they arrived.”

“Oh my god!”

“If it’s any consolation, it doesn’t look quite so insane on a 7 foot guy.”

I could hear my pulse quicken, or rather I could hear the machine beeping away as it noticed my rising panic. It didn’t help that I was still strapped to something. I was sitting on the floor and covered in a sheet, while a ton of monitors were attached to me. I could hear the machine beeping as if it were panicking on my behalf.

“Please try to stay calm. I dare not give you anything to help you calm down, not until we know what they already gave you.”

Stevie’s hand felt like a child’s, but I was glad when he slipped his hand in mind and laced our fingers. It helped instantly.

*****
All things considered, my senses returned pretty quickly.

Eventually Dr Gomez was satisfied that I wasn’t in immediate danger, and didn’t pose one, and authorized me to be freed of the straps. By then I felt like I could stand.

My hair brushed the ceiling when I stood up, and the door frame was at eye level. My future would involve a lot of stooping.

The cops were still taking evidence and statements, but I hadn’t eaten since the night before, and I was painfully hungry. I also wanted to shower and find some clothing. And I didn’t know much anyway. My answers were curt and unhelpful, if I’m honest, but given the day I’d had, I felt justified in my crankiness.

The cruise ship moved us to one of their high end suites, like the one Richie and Dane had. The ceilings there were a bit higher, too, but I couldn’t afford to jump up and down or anything. To our shock the captain himself walked us to it, apologizing furiously.

Along the way, I found out more details.

I was right about recognizing our steward, Gervaise, but there was also a bartender and the ship’s doctor on duty, one of the maintenance crew, and two others who’d been there for the near orgy at the club. One of them had stalked us since then. The crew had access to medical supplies and the empty storage room. As far as they knew, I was just a big guy they thought was hot enough to kidnap.

Stevie had to fill in other gaps. Having overstimulated me and pumped me full of party drugs and viagra, and being unaware of what was already going on with my condition, well, the kidnappers had no clue what they’d unleashed. That storage room became ground central for a three hour orgy that left our pheromones in overdrive and restarted the feedback loop. Apparently they’d also tried to fuck themselves on Stevie’s cock, which woke him up, before trying mine on for size. But Stevie was used to my sex drive and huge equipment, and they weren’t — and those poor dummies hadn’t worked up any tolerance to my overstimulated pheromones either. I was likely responsible for the utterly demolished food delivery cart, too. They’d planned quite a party for themselves.

Richie, worried, played the “my family are part owners” card and demanded a search—and as part of that, the missing crew were identified. And once that happened, they found Stevie and I panting and tied up while half a dozen crew lay unconscious and exhausted all around us. It was pretty smart of them to do the search while half the ship was ashore. No way could they miss me going through the exit procedure.

Dr Gomez being on board had been a lucky coincidence — he’d just boarded as relief for the second doctor, who’d had a family emergency during our previous port of call.

After talking with the captain, we asked them to continue the cruise. I didn’t want to screw up vacation for a few thousand other passengers. Filling in all the paperwork was a bit of a nightmare, but damned if we were going to let our kidnappers get away with it.

All of that took hours to sort out, or get rolling. In the end we left a day late. Finally Richie and Dane joined us for a quiet meal in our new cabin. We kept it light and avoided too much traumatizing discussion. But we both wanted to make our gratitude clear. Who knew what would have happened if we hadn’t been found? Richie also promised to connect us with a lawyer if we needed one.

Of course there were questions about the physical situation, which was, well, obvious.

“I hate that I can’t tell you guys the whole story, but until I get the okay from the doc—” I began.

“Hon, it’s really okay. Just wait until you get answers.”

“I can say this, though. As far as we know, I’m the only one who reacted like this. I’m kind of an outlier.”

The rest of the evening, we avoided the subject. Richie was as good as his word, and if Dane had entertained thoughts of getting into the study, he was second guessing them now. Instead, we opened up about our lives a bit more, and what had been a very casual vacation acquaintanceship felt like it was becoming a proper friendship that would last.

Finally, around 9pm, our energy flagged and we parted ways, promising to stay in touch.

*****
 
The ship left the next day after the authorities cleared us. We spent most of the final two days in the cabin, for practical reasons — literally nothing I had fit my new proportions. The best I could manage was a pair of extremely oversized shorts that had a drawstring, and a tent of a shirt that fit like a tablecloth. Anyway, the ridiculous luxury made that more palatable than a cramped standard cabin. It certainly didn’t hurt that I fit better in the bed.

We had connected again with Dr Morris, who was eager to get us both into the lab, and shocked by the tale we’d told. But also curious about the interactions between the drug cocktail and my unique situation. Initially a bit dismissive of Dr Gomez, once they’d actually talked a bit, Morris seemed to gain a bit of respect for him. Gomez had seen a lot of questionable party drugs and stimulants in his time on cruise lines and had a keen mind.

When we finally docked at home, we opted to be the last off the cruise ship, because the last thing I needed was a few thousand people staring at me. We arranged with Dr Morris to have a car take us directly to the clinic for a proper round of measurements and tests.


*****

“Whatever they fed you, you’ve metabolized. I expect you burned it out the same day. You must have run an enormous calorie deficit.”

“Is that why he’s so crazy ripped?” Stevie asked.

“Probably. You’re the only guy I have ever met who left a cruise ship leaner than you got on it.”

“Wasn’t for lack of trying, Doc.”

“Caleb, we should probably talk about what I think the new normal will be. Because if the test results are right, you’ve finally burned the treatment out of your system with that last growth spurt. Your hormones are no longer out of whack and your system seems to have stopped overreacting to the presence of your boyfriend.”

“Sounds like good news,” I said. “Great, even!”

“Yes. But as we discussed, there isn’t much we can do to reverse all of this. Even surgery to reduce the extraordinary size of your pe–”

“Don’t you DARE,” Stevie said.

“You could take a foot off this thing and it would still be huge,” I said. “All the same, I’d rather not go under the knife unless it was life or death.”

We did go to therapy, because we’d basically been raped, but if I’m honest in both our cases the memories weren’t sharp or painful – or at least weren’t specifically so. And we got closure that many people never get. One of our kidnappers was dumb enough to record the assault, too, so the case was easy to prove. Given the dependence of some of those little islands on tourism and cruise ships, they were very quickly found guilty and sentenced. That happened within the year, and our testimony via video feed was instrumental.

A month after we got back, I’d settled at just shy of 7’2, and 385 pounds once I’d actually had a few meals. I was covered in dense, heavy muscle (and my love of routine meant I would keep up the workouts indefinitely). My chest was 66 inches and my waist a solid 42, 25-inch biceps, 37-inch thighs… that was all unflexed. Pumped fresh from a workout, you’d add an inch or two to all those. (At this point, I just wanted to maintain what I had…though I was still slowly adding to the density and volume over time. I had to kind of talk myself out of pushing harder.)

The dick took some getting used to, for both of us. There was no getting around a knee-length whale of a cock that grew to two feet when aroused (which was often, though slightly less than it had been for a while).

Dr Morris was happy with my health, at least. “Luckily, all your other vitals check out just fine. For a 25-year-old world-class athlete who’s over 7 feet tall and carries an excessive amount of muscle,” he noted. “Our company will, of course, provide lifetime monitoring for your condition, which we’re chalking up to a hormonal imbalance. But the thing is, they think they might be able to do a little more for you.”

“Like…what?”

“Like, a considerable payout to cover expenses and a guarantee of covering any health risks your condition poses, for a start. Honestly, they offered more than I expected. That’s without other conditions.”

“I sense a ‘but…’ in there,” Stevie said.

“But…they’re offering to sweeten the deal quite a lot. Like, a LOT. In exchange, they want the rights to keep studying you and see if they can replicate the results – in a more controlled environment, of course. You’d have to report in on a schedule for monitoring, and give up some rights to anything unique they find after digging around in your DNA. Samples of everything – I’m talking about very invasive stuff like getting samples of your internal organs and brain tissue. Frankly, Caleb, you could be a big enough moneymaker for them that they’re more than happy to give you a pretty hefty sum.”

So of course, we called Richie, and he called his lawyers, Wilson & Bradley (I kept thinking of them as Wilford Brimley) and we all sat down for a very lengthy chat.

In the end, the offer was too good to pass up. They paid to convert a rather nice house so that I fit better in it – ten foot ceilings, custom doors and cabinetry, all that stuff, and paid me a consulting fee that was slightly better than my old yearly salary had been, while things were being set up. This was basically to keep me around for study, but that was fine with me; about six months in they realized that they could use me for my actual skills as well, and so I did some part-time analytical work for them. Once my five year consultancy was done, I would have access to the trust fund anyway. And that trust fund was guaranteed.

This also meant my hot barista boyfriend didn’t have to worry about money, and could fully concentrate on his graduate work. He got his Master’s degree in architecture later that first year. Richie and Dane were there for the celebration, having become very close friends (with occasional benefits).

The other thing the Wilford Brimley team got for me? Any resulting treatments or pharmaceuticals that were derived from my experience, I had a stake in. Not a big percentage (just a fraction of one), but one that seemed fair.

*****

Two years into that arrangement, not long after Stevie agreed to make an honest man out of me, the mysterious backers of my treatment got a breakthrough. They’d found a way to recreate a much more limited set of the “side effects” I had, and with a much more dependable expiration. Basically, they aimed for something that would knock 5-10 years off you, at least, and stimulate unrealized growth potential – just not as much as it had for me. No full second puberty that lingered for months, but still a sought-after outcome. The revised version managed to suppress the pheromone feedback too – that one was much trickier to test. Imagine a bunch of horny college students stewing in their own sexual arousal while others are paid to sniff them!

As it happens, one of the early tests of the final formula – and one that we specially requested – was on Dane. We knew that he and Richie were as stable and loving as they get, and were willing to risk it. Dane grew about an inch in height and put on thirty pounds of muscle, but mostly he was happy because it seemed to reverse some of the joint pain he’d begun to notice. And Richie was happy because Dane was happy, and seemed even hotter, and got a bit girthier where Richie wanted him to be. He declined to try himself, though, because he was determined to become, in his words, “one of those endearingly tiresome old queens who refuses to act their age,” and he couldn’t do that if he looked 10 years younger than he claimed.

As for Stevie, well, we discovered something we kept mum for a while. Actually it wasn’t until we got fitted for the wedding tuxes that it even became an issue.

Stevie had been joining me in the gym, mostly to build up his stamina, he said, but I think also because he finally had time and wanted to be in a shape comparable to mine. He took to it pretty well, and saw plenty of newbie gains. What made us realize they weren’t actually newbie gains was when, joking around one night, we measured his dick and realized he’d grown. At some point, he’d nudged slowly past 9.5 to nearly 10. Since I was the main recipient of said dick – which was already oversized when we met – we really didn’t notice right away.

That led to a hotly debated discussion about what to do about it, if anything. I wanted him to get checked out; he wanted to “explore the possibilities”. By our first anniversary, he was closing in quickly on 10.5, and by that point I insisted we get checked again.

If you thought “hey, what if Stevie got big too”, you would be right. In theory, there was nothing communicable about what I’d been through. But sure enough, his test results suggested he was undergoing a similar, though muted, version of the revised process. In short, his body was undergoing a pseudo puberty, though it was nowhere near the version I’d dealt with. The nearest we can figure is that he’d triggered a weaker version at some point, purely because of the, erm, volume of my output he’d been exposed to, regularly, for a long time. (The newer serum had a few telltale genetic markers but none of them were present.) Sadly, perhaps, it was nearly gone when we spotted it, so Stevie didn’t get quite the same benefits as others might have, and only got a half inch taller. He seemed happy with the extra inch or so, and with the improvements in his physique – which happened a little faster than they might have otherwise. He was putting in plenty of effort in the gym, but it was the cardio that really came in handy. Mostly he looked toned and slightly athletic now, whereas before he’d been lean and wiry.

I have to confess I liked his extra inch or so, too.

He was, however, more averse to the medical poking and prodding than I was, and declined to be a guinea pig. The research suggested pretty strongly that our odd reactions were exceedingly rare, and they couldn’t reproduce the effect on anyone else. After a year of trying, Stevie told them to be content with the samples they had.

Life kept us away from our old stomping grounds for a while, because we were building a life away from the downtown and university. Sadly that meant we missed Cuppa Joes for the most part, though we do use their roasted beans at home.

When you’re over 7 feet tall it’s virtually impossible to go out without being stared at, but when you’re well off, at least you can dress properly. On the rare occasion I have to get fancy, I have a few custom suits. The enormity of my junk means that’s a requirement; nothing comes standard, and there are logistical support concerns to manage. As far as we know, nobody in the world has a bigger cock (without artificial means), but we’ve kept that pretty close to the vest. Guinness can have that record after I’m dead. Apparently there was a guy in the trials of the product who reached 14 inches, but most guys only gained an inch or two. Still, there were quite a few more guys out there with 8-10-inch cocks now. You’re welcome!

The success of “the product” – as we always referred to it (the proper market names sounds like it’s in Elvish) – meant that my tiny fraction of a stake in the profits proved to be life-changing. By the time the first year of sales kicked in, my passive income from that was enough to keep us content for ages.

So if you’re reading this, it may be because you were curious as to why so many guys were suddenly beefier, hunkier, and bigger where it counts, and seem to look younger than they are. I only take partial credit. The real bit of genius I added to the mix was to suggest very strongly that they make it more affordable. The core treatment in its final form runs about $1-2k for the cycle, but that still represents a big profit, and it kept it from being the provenance of the wealthy.

Each dose is guaranteed to knock 2-6 years of visible aging off you (but often overperforms), and you typically gain about an inch all over. And realistically, it would work fully only once every 8-10 years. This was also by design, to avoid DNA damage. It was a brilliant bit of biochemistry, really, that had few drawbacks unless you had one of a handful of imcommon conditions. For about 90% of men, it worked as expected, with minor side effects like unwanted hair or relentless acne. They’d managed to turn *my* side effects into selling points.

As it happened we built a new place closer to Richie and Dane, who traveled a lot – and we found ourselves joining them on other adventures. I shied away from cruises, though, understandably. Instead it was the Hamptons or some other private beach or a mountain lake cabin, where I wouldn’t be stared at. I’d never really been comfortable with it, anyway. Richie’s family, as it happened, owned stakes in a lot of high end resorts. We also hit Vegas about once or twice a year, using the original winnings from the cruise ship as our fun money. We picked up a few friends there that stuck around, too.

Before long, my agreed contract term ended, and I was left with, well, the rest of my life. I just turned 50 (but physically am more like young 30s) and I have a trust fund to fall back on if anything happens to the company, and Stevie makes decent money freelancing as an architect when he wants to. He did get into the field out of love for it, after all – and he seems to enjoy charity work where there is no real money to pay an architect. I am a little shy about appearing in public, but I do volunteer where I feel I can really offer something. One of my favorite things is to just show up and be huge and menacing where it helps – I’ve walked a lot of nervous girls to get abortions, and given a few talks to survivors of assault. And of course we donate a lot on the QT.

It’s astounding how positive life can be when you’re not struggling to survive.

Mostly we have more than we’d ever need – including a very well outfitted home gym and a pool. A nice big deep pool, too, and we love doing laps in it. I’ve been learning to make sushi, though of course Stevie makes all the coffee. My sexy barista did grow out his hair and did the little man bun thing – annoyingly he looks good with it. He looks good with everything, and now that I met his family, I suspect he will look 30-ish for a very long time.

The best thing about all of it is Stevie; I feel luckier about him than all the rest of it. In the end, with my partner by my side, and some good friends to enjoy good times with, honestly, life couldn't be better. If I had to give advice, I’d say you should take whatever steps you can to get into better shape while you’re young. You never know where it might lead.

And you should always, always flirt with the hot barista.
 
I always like a bit of “be careful what you wish for” in these sorts of stories, but I also like a happy ending.

The “be careful” part comes from thinking about how the world is not really built for very big people. Clothing is always a challenge, but anyone in the six-foot-plus club knows thats just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to minor challenges.
