Life at Crale Manor (FINALE!)

CHAPTER NINE

The After Party

Joven and Callahan exchanged a confused glance. Whatever was in the box, it was enormous. The box itself was big enough to comfortably fit three people, and it took up the entire center of the spacious room.

“Hurry and open it,” Aurich said eagerly. “We have no idea what it is either and the curiosity is killing me!”

Joven walked to one side of the enormous box and Callahan moved to the opposite side. Together, they carefully lifted the giant cardboard lid from the box, surprised at how heavy the large gold fabric bow proved to be. It was the kind of bow often seen on cars in automobile commercials around Christmas, where the husband invariably surprised his wife with a new Lexus or Audi parked in the driveway. After no small amount of effort, the duo were able to lift the lid and set it aside; as soon as they did so, the sides of the box began to fall outward to reveal its mysterious contents.

Inside the box was a machine of some sort, consisting of a metal frame with a black powdered finish and a pair of adjacent gunmetal gray leather padded benches embossed with the EverTech logo. Various confusing mechanical swing arms jutted up from the base of the machine, though their function was impossible to guess. A computer monitor was attached to the frame, currently displaying the EverTech logo slowly rotating against a black background. Callahan and Joven stood back and studied the machine, confused.

Laguna smiled his cryptic smile and turned to the pair. “It’s based on a prototype machine EverTech R&D had been working on, specifically meant to aid in the varlet conversion process, though I had it modified for home use. And I hired a prominent game developing company to work on integrating VR support into it.”

“But what does it do?” Callahan asked incredulously.

“Basically, it’s a fuck machine,” Laguna explained. “But it’s more than that. The machine can connect to the EverTech nanobots in a user’s system to create specific tactile sensations in the user. The original idea was to strap a varlet candidate in and have the machine continually stimulate them as a reward for compliance, while punishing them for resisting. However, in clinical tests, the team realized that subjects came to expect their reward for good behavior to come in regular intervals and became less compliant when released from the machine, so it made a negligible difference to the conversion process. R&D left the machine in storage to collect dust, so I had it repurposed and brought it home.”

Callahan listened incredulously, while Joven began squirming. Zave was staring at the machine with immediate lust and Nate began giggling at the expression on the raccoon’s face.

“Which of you wants to try it out first?” Laguna asked, a mischievous smile slowly spreading across his handsome face.

Joven and Callahan exchanged a charged glance. Surprisingly, Callahan was the one who spoke. “I will, Master,” he said, his voice quivering slightly.

Even Laguna was surprised that Callahan was the one to volunteer. For someone who had once completely denied himself the pleasures of the flesh out of shame and self-loathing, this was a big step for the otter. “Very good,” Laguna said. “Put on the VR headset and then lie back on the bench on the left, with your head on the head rest.”

Callahan complied with his Master’s order while the rest of the household looked on, curious what was about to happen to him. Laguna buckled the otter to the machine with attachment points at his wrists, ankles and waist. “For your safety,” he said as he worked. “The experience can be fairly intense, I’m told, with quite a lot of flailing around.”

Once Callahan was connected to the machine, Laguna tapped a few buttons. The VR display activated, showing Callahan a menu floating in the darkness before him. The only options were “Begin”, “Settings” and “Exit”. The settings menu had been grayed out, but the other two options were available. The monitor attached to the machine shifted to the view being projected in the VR display so that everyone else in the room could see what Callahan was seeing through the VR headset.

“The machine is connected wirelessly to your nanobots, so all you have to do is think of your selection and the nanobots will relay your choice to the machine,” Laguna said. “I had the settings menu option dummied out since it mostly contained functions related to the varlet conversion process, and instead I had a number of random scenarios pre-loaded under the ‘Begin’ option. All you have to do is tell it to start and then lie back. The machine will take care of everything else.”

Callahan swallowed once and sent the mental command. The menu blinked out, and for a moment he was left in complete darkness. Suddenly, the headset blinked to life and projected an extremely convincing VR facsimile of Laguna’s opulent bedroom, from the perspective of someone lying on the bed.

“Oh, I can feel the silk sheets under my back!” Callahan said, surprised. He turned his head to rotate the view, and the displayed image moved with him, now showing Laguna’s nightstand, then the ceiling, then the foot of the bed once again.

A 3D avatar of Laguna faded into view, almost eerie in its level of detail. Virtual Laguna was naked but for his ever-present glasses, and he was sporting an impressively erect cock. The virtual Laguna smiled and stepped toward Callahan, running his paws lightly down the otter’s chest and stomach. “Ohhhhh,” Callahan moaned. “I felt that!”

“I told you, it’s communicating with your nanobots,” the flesh-and-blood Laguna said smugly. “They, in turn, are triggering your nerves to fire exactly as they would if I were really touching you.” Laguna smirked as he noticed Zave rubbing the cool, metal bulge of his chastity cage absently. The rest of the household looked on in awe as Virtual Laguna began stroking his rigid cock on the monitor.

One of the mechanical arms rose up from the base of the machine, and a dildo of impressive size and girth emerged from the arm’s tip. “Self-lubricating and self-cleaning,” Laguna said with a smile.

In the display, Virtual Laguna began moving closer to Callahan with that huge cock, while in the real world, the machine brought the dildo closer to the otter’s tail hole in a smooth, mirrored movement.

Laguna chuckled under his breath. “Callahan, I forgot to mention, I had the VR team program something special in honor of your anniversary. Think Joven’s name.”

Callahan grunted in the affirmative, and suddenly the view on the display shifted to Joven and Callahan’s bedroom, and the virtual lover’s image rippled and distorted until it was Joven working his way toward Callahan’s waiting opening rather than Laguna. Joven was surprised and a little jealous to see that his virtual avatar wasn’t wearing a chastity cage.

Callahan let out a low, guttural moan as Virtual Joven’s cock began pressing up against his sensitive tail hole. In the real world, the machine was pressing its own rubber penis against Callahan’s most sensitive area. Callahan flexed against the restraints binding him to the machine desperately, suddenly burning with the desire to be penetrated. But neither the machine nor Joven’s virtual avatar made any move to satisfy the otter’s need.

“Oh, right,” Laguna smirked. “The game is paused. I forgot about this part. Callahan, you have the option to either proceed or activate two-player mode. Wait a moment.” 

Laguna gently took the bemused Joven by the shoulders and navigated him toward the machine where his mate lay squirming. Laguna instructed Joven to put on the other VR headset and lie down, then he began strapping Joven in the same way Callahan had been. Once the badger was secured, the monitor went into split-screen mode and Joven gasped as his view suddenly shifted. He was now kneeling on his bed, staring at his handsome mate’s waiting tail hole, the tip of his virtual unlocked cock pressing against Callahan.

The “game” suddenly unpaused, and Joven was free to move within the virtual space, even as his body was restrained in the real world. He eagerly pressed forward, inserting his virtual penis into his lover’s opening in one slow, smooth movement. “Oh god… oh god… I can feel it!” Joven cried as he and Callahan began unconsciously squirming against the safety restraints.

Joven began slowly thrusting in and out of Callahan’s inviting cavity, his virtual avatar rolling his hips as he took Callahan’s tight, sexy ass. In spite of himself, the badger began picking up speed; after all, it had been almost exactly a month since the last time Joven had been allowed release, and his body was more than primed for this moment.

Virtual Callahan clutched the sheets as the real Callahan cried out. Both anthros were experiencing the scene physically, each sensation fully mirroring what was playing out in the VR world. The mansion’s assembled residents were transfixed; everyone except Dakota, who seemed disinterested by the lustful display.

Joven began moaning and grunting as he could feel an orgasm building deep within his body. Virtual Callahan’s body felt so perfect, so lifelike, and the badger could feel himself rushing toward the precipice of climax. Another few thrusts would get him across the finish line, and so the real Joven began bucking against his restraints in desperate need. Closer and closer he came to the glorious moment of sexual release, but then… nothing. His body was on the brink of the waterfall, but he found himself unable to go any farther no matter how much he thrust or cried out. His body tensed and coiled for an orgasm that never came, and being this tantalizingly close without being able to finish was an experience unlike anything Joven had ever felt before. He cried and begged, but his body would not comply.

“It’s not your day to be unlocked yet,” Laguna said plainly, smirking.

Joven groaned in incredible frustration. Though he was being denied release ven in this virtual world, he was unsurprised; his Master controlled his body even in this fictional space. Still, teetering on the edge of orgasm without going over was an incredible sensation, both intensely pleasurable and maddening. Joven began pounding Callahan’s ass in earnest, causing his mate to grunt and groan in ecstasy.

The duo continued like this for some time, with Joven desperately, vigorously fucking the virtual daylights out of Callahan. But eventually, both were forced to concede that the machine had won. Callahan’s ass was tender and tired, and Joven was no closer to orgasm. Panting, the pair collapsed wearily and went slack in their restraints, and Callahan told the game to exit.

Laguna released the pair from the safety buckles, and Zave practically threw himself on the machine to take the next turn as Callahan and Joven rose, wobbling unsteadily, from the benches. Aurich looked at the empty bench next to Zave, considered for a moment, shrugged, and then walked over to join the racoon for a turn in the machine.

“So, how do you like your present?” Laguna asked the panting couple.

Callahan grinned, practically punch-drunk after the pounding his ass had just taken. “Thank you so much, Master,” he said in a pleased voice, as Laguna led them to sit down on the couch and catch their breath. Nate and Dakota were nowhere to be found, having sneaked out and back to the dining room for a second serving of cake while everyone else was distracted.

“I was so close to getting off,” Joven grumbled in an annoyed, panting voice, though the silly grin spread wide across his face betrayed his true feelings on the matter. 

Laguna smiled. “Yes, but that’s half the fun, isn’t it? At least, it’s fun for me watching you squirm so fruitlessly. But… speaking of getting off…” The sexy pink-and-white badger smiled at his pets and indicated with a nod that it was time to show their Master gratitude.

Joven and Callahan exchanged a glance and a grin. Joven pulled the front of the Master’s wine red silk jock down, exposing his already semi-erect and quickly hardening tool, and the duo began slurping and licking and kissing at their Master’s cock, trying to show him their gratitude through actions rather than words. 

With Aurich and Zave around to take care of the Master’s sexual needs, Callahan and Joven didn’t often get to work on the Master together like this, though Joven was often called to play victim to Laguna’s more sadistic moments. Their intense, shared experience in the virtual world had dialed their lust up without offering any release, and the moans and grunts coming from Aurich and Zave as they had their own experience with the machine were driving the otter and badger wild. They channeled that lust and need through Laguna’s impressive cock as they worked on showing their Master exactly how much they appreciated him for making their anniversary so memorable.

Laguna’s cock bounced and bobbed as his pets worked, and he ran his paws through their head fur playfully. Callahan and Joven gazed at each other with intense love as they made out with each other frantically, their Master’s tool between them. Joven took Callahan’s paw into his own, lacing their fingers together. “Happy anniversary,” he said before gliding his tongue down Laguna’s shaft. Callahan smiled happily and repeated the motion on the other side.

“See?” Dakota said from the door. He and Nate had just returned from the dining room, their muzzles smeared with icing. “99.721% chance that Master Laguna’s cock would end up being sucked by the end of the party.” Dakota then let forth a cake- and punch-fuelled belch that was surprisingly loud to be coming from one so tiny.

Nate burst into giggles as Laguna smirked. Joven and Callahan looked up, startled, blushing as they were caught in the act of servicing the Master. “What a silly little diaper baby you are,” Nate cooed to his pet kobold.

“Silly little diaper baby!” Dakota repeated happily.
