The Seeds By Rick Powers A young woman receives a wonderful gift from her old auntie. Emily stared at the note in her hand for a few seconds more before regarding the small pile of seeds in the envelope. She carefully turned the envelope over and looked once more at the name of the sender. No doubt about it, it had been sent to her by her Aunt Eudora. She would recognize that handwriting anywhere. But everything else about it was mysterious. First, it was postmarked Bora Bora. Emily didn't even realize that Auntie Dora was in the South Pacific these days. Although Eudora was in her early sixties, it was hard to keep up with her and her adventuring. So she very well could have been in Bora Bora for all she knew. But then there was the content of the envelope. A small note and a pile of seeds that were slightly smaller than pumpkin seeds and had a greenish tint. The note didn't explain much either: "Dear Emily, I have so much to share with you from my recent explorations in the South Pacific. I'll be stopping by in a week or so. In the mean time, could you plant these seeds? These are a new variety that I've only found on one island. A most amazing place. But I'll tell you all about it when I come to visit. You can plant these seeds anywhere. Give them some water and a little bit of light and they'll grow like magic! Love, Auntie Dora" Emily shrugged her thin shoulders, "Oh you are a crazy one Auntie Dora," she muttered to herself. But she was also very loving and generous. She was able to travel because she had practically unlimited funds from huge inheritances and she never was shy about sharing some of her money with her favorite niece. Emily spent the next few hours gathering the planting soil and pots to carry out her aunt's directions. The thirty pound bag of potting soil that she bought was just a little too heavy for her to carry from her car. She had to open it her trunk and start scooping it into the individual pots and then carry them one at a time into her little apartment. Emily had the hours to spend on the project because she was on winter break from her high school teaching job. On the other hand, she thought, it IS winter. Will these seeds even grow at all until spring? But she dutifully planted each one it it's own pot and set them around her rooms and gave them a little drink of water. Afterwards she became engrossed in a movie and then made dinner and pretty much forgot about her aunt's 'science experiment.' The next morning, she awoke and immediately noticed the pot she had on her nightstand. The seed had indeed sprouted overnight and had even grown about four inches! She bolted out of bed and checked the other pots. Each one was having similar results. Maybe these seeds were magic, after all! Emily went about her daily chores and activities like usual and ignored the new plants. She did remember later in the day to give each one another drink of water before she left to get together with some friends for dinner. By the time she got home she was exhausted and went straight to bed. The next day, she slowly opened her eyes to check on her herbal roommate and was startled again by its growth. She got out a measuring tape and found that it was 8 inches high. It was also developing quite a few dark green leaves. "This is so weird," she mused, "but I know that there's no such thing as magic seeds!" She decided to call her friend Matt and get his opinion. Matt and she were hired at the same time, eight years ago. While she taught in the English department, he was in the Science department, mostly teaching Biology and Earth Science. "Maybe he'll have a logical explanation." Matt was intrigued to say the least, but he wasn't free for another couple of days. "Just don't let those little monsters take over the place until I get there, okay?" he jokingly said. "Meanwhile, I'll see what I can find with a little bit of internet research." Cold comfort for Emily. Each day brought another four inches of new growth in height and lots more new leaves. She continued watering and measuring the plants, and waiting for either Matt to call back or Aunt Eudora to come to her rescue. After six days of continual growth, the plants were two feet tall and nearly that wide. Her whole apartment seemed to be covered in foliage. As she prepared for sleep that night, she looked at her plant friends and absentmindedly said, "You guys are growing so big, I wish I could do that, too." She looked at her reflection in her bedroom mirror and studied her image. She was dressed in a flannel nightie that reached down to her knees. But even the thick cloth could not hide her skinny body and flat chest. She was almost six feet tall, but still only weighed in at 115 pounds. Emily sighed and went through the apartment watering her 'little monsters' as Matt called them. Matt! Oh yeah, Emily remembered, he should be coming over the next day. "I sure hope he has some answers for me," she said as she gently stroked some of the leaves on the plant next to her bed. The next morning, Emily awoke to another surprise. The plants had grown like before, but now some of them were also going to seed. Usually plants don't do that for weeks or months. But sure enough, Emily could see that some leaves had matured so much that they were falling off and the plants were producing seeds. Matt arrived a couple of hours later and was amazed at the plants. He found it hard to believe that they were only one week old. "I've never seen anything like this in my life! And I can't find any information about these plants. Is this some kind of practical joke your aunt is pulling on you?" "Auntie Dora has done lots of things, but she's never pulled a practical joke on me. Could they radioactive? An alien species?" "Well, at least they don't have giant seed pods yet," Matt joked. "I'd like to take some of these leaves to a friend at a nearby university. Maybe he can tell us more." "No need for that." Matt and Emily both spun around to see who had just walked into the room. It was a tall woman with wavy black hair wearing a heavy winter coat. She was just as tall as Emily and looked to be in her late 30' or early 40's. "I can tell you all about them." "Aunt Dora?" Emily cried, "Oh my goodness!" She rushed to greet her aunt with a big hug. "Emily!" Eudora returned the hug, "It's been so long." She separated enough to get a good look at her niece. "You're still the spitting image of your mother." Then she turned to Matt, "And you are ...?" "Matt," he said extending his hand, "Matt Noonan." "Nice to meet you, Matt." Eudora said as she took his hand and smiled at the younger man. "But what I really meant was ... husband? Boyfriend? Significant other?" Matt blushed a deep red. He really liked Emily and although they were both single, they had never got their relationship past the professional stage. "No ... umm ... colleague." Eudora squeezed Matt's hand just a little bit harder than he was expecting. She watched his reaction with interest. "Well, nice to meet one of Emily's fellow teachers." Then she turned, as if noticing the plants for the first time. "Oh Emmi! The plants look so good, so healthy." She caressed the leaves with a little smile on her lips, like she was fawning over a pet dog. "Well they practically grew themselves. All I did was add water. So what gives, Auntie? What kind of plant are these and why the big secret?" Eudora looked at Matt, "It looks like Emmi has sought your advice, so it seems that she trusts you. That's good enough for me. Are you interested in staying for a while, Mr. Noonan?" "Well, now you've got my scientific curiosity all buzzing. I wouldn't miss this for the world." "Good, I'm glad that you're here," Aunt Dora said as she casually, but gently, stripped some of the new seeds off of a nearby plant. "Try these seeds," she said handing six seeds to Matt, "tell me what they taste like. Oh, it's okay, they're not at all toxic." Matt gingerly placed the seeds in his mouth and sucked on them and them bit into them as Aunt Dora began her story. "I stumbled upon an entry in a ship's log about a strange incident on a tiny island in the South Pacific. It told of a tribe of monkeys that were native to the island, but were a matriarchal society. I was fascinated and I had plenty of time on my hands, so I embarked on a quest for the island. I finally found it and took enough provisions to last a year. I set up my camp and proceeded to explore the island. "I didn't find the monkeys. They found me. About a month after arriving, I was careless and tripped on a log, which sent me falling and rolling down a steep hill. I was pretty badly banged up and must have lost consciousness. The next thing I know, I was 50 feet up in a tree being tended to by a group of monkeys. How I got there was a mystery. There were no signs of other people and these monkeys were not very large, barely the size of a beagle. "They were treating my gashes with banana leaves soaked in some oil, and trying to feed me some dark green leaves. It looked like spinach, and I hated spinach, but I was in no position to argue. The banana leaves and the spinach did the trick faster than I thought possible and in a couple of hours I had totally recovered. But I still had the problem of getting down out of the tree. "My new friends tried to motion to me to follow them, but I was terrified. Somehow they understood. Several of them swung off while the others stayed with me. Moments later they returned with more leaves, which they offered to me. Again, I ate the leaves, but this time, I couldn't believe what they did to me. Suffice it to say, I was able to follow the group of monkeys down from the tree. And then up another tree and then swinging like I was Tarzan or something! It all seemed so easy! "Suddenly, they all stopped and dropped to the ground. There was a group of monkeys already there. With a closer look, I saw that these were the males of the tribe. The ones with me were all females. The females began walking around behind the seated males and waving their arms and vocalizing, trying to get the males' attention. Then they started lifting rocks, big rocks, like they were showing off for the males. They were especially interested in the biggest boy. Finally one of the girls lifted a rock the size of a loveseat. When she dropped it the ground shook! Next thing I know, the big guy is walking off to the bushes with this female. "I realized then that it was the monkeys that had carried me up to the tree. Some of the other monkeys were pairing off, leaving a few females behind with me. Out of curiosity, I attempted to lift some of the rocks, too. To my surprise, I was able to lift all of them except for the biggest rocks. I couldn't believe my strength! "In a flash all of the monkeys disappeared in various directions, leaving me alone. I found my way back to camp, and used my new strength to build a better shelter and spruce things up a bit. But after about twelve hours, the strength started fading, and I returned to normal. Or so I thought. "It took another week before I had contact with the tribe again. But I watched them carefully and built their trust in me and finally found out where they were getting the leaves. That's when I discovered these marvelous plants. "Although the incredible strength wears off after a while, I found that if I did some strenuous exercises while enhanced, my normal strength increased as well. So I spent most of last year living on the island and 'working out'." She finished her story by shrugging her heavy winter coat off. Emily and Matt were stunned. In the back of her mind, Emily kept trying to remind herself that her Aunt Eudora, although not as old as her mother, should still be about 62 years old. But the woman standing in her apartment looked like anything but a 60 year old woman. She was wearing tight black pants that showed off her muscular thighs as well as her tiny waist. She had a short sleeve polo shirt tucked at the waist and tenting out noticeably up top. The shirt was buttoned up and no cleavage was showing, but from the strain on the front of the shirt, it was clear that it hid plenty. Her sleeves were filled with defined biceps and triceps. Not overly muscular, but definitely strong looking. She could have been a thirty-something fitness champion. "Wow." It as all that Emily could say. She was thinking lots more thoughts than that, but all that came out was, "Wow." Matt sat speechless, his eyes fixed on the older woman, his pupils dilating slightly. Aunt Dora took note of that as well. She walked over to the stool that Matt was sitting on. Dora stood close to Matt and smiled down at him, "How are those seeds I gave you, Matt?" Matt looked nervously at Emily, "They're ... they're, you know, okay. They, ahem, didn't taste like much, maybe a hint of cinnamon ..." His voice trailed off and he pulled at his collar, "Is it hot in here all of a sudden, or is it me?" he laughed, attempting to break the spell that it seemed Eudora was trying to cast on him. "It's you," Eudora calmly replied, still smiling at him. "The females of the tribe would give their males some seeds when they wanted to mate. They're sort of like Viagra ... on speed. It would help prepare them. And protect them." "Protect them?" Emily sounded concerned, not quite sure of where her aunt was going with this. "Why didn't they just eat the leaves, like the females?" Aunt Dora turned away to talk to Emily, "It turns out the leaves didn't do anything for males. They had no effect on them. But the seeds ..." "Did the ... ahem ... seeds make the ... the ... males ... stronger?" Matt was finding it harder and harder to think, let alone talk. She turned back to Matt and regarded him for a second. " In places. Tell me Mr. Noonan, what do you think of powerful women?" "Pow ... powerful ...?" "Yes. Physically powerful. Powerful enough to say ... " she reached down and grasped one leg of the stool with one hand, " ... pick you up with one hand," she smoothly lifted the stool and the large man up off the ground, "without even straining." She held him at arm's length, shoulder high. Her shy smile never left her face. Matt grabbed onto the sides of the stool. He couldn't believe what was happening. Emily stared at her aunt's arm, firm as a rock, not straining or shaking. Suddenly, there was a small ripping sound. Emily looked around for the source of the sound. She looked at Aunt Dora's sleeve, but it hadn't expanded anymore than before. But Matt not only heard the ripping sound, he felt where it was coming from. He was afraid to let go of the stool, and yet afraid of what was happening in his pants. "And Matt," Eudora continued, bring her other arm up, "what do you think of muscles on a woman?" Eudora began to lift her other hand and slowly began to flex her rock hard bicep. And Matt followed along in time. Clothes designed for casual wear are just not cut out for the kind of pressure that Matt's cock was now applying. Without bothering to wait for the zipper to be opened, a huge, hard penis erupted out of Matt's crotch. Hard as in, you could hammer nails with this thing. As in, if you put it in a vise, the jaws of the vice might crack first. Matt desperately let go with one hand to try to cover himself. But when he touched himself, his super cock responded by growing even larger. "My dear, Emily," Aunt Dora said, as she flexed her arm a few more times, while Matt did his best not to look, "there are two types of men in this world. Men who hate powerful, muscular women, and men who are incredibly attracted to it. Those who hate it do so probably out of fear, fear that they may lose their place in society, fear that they may lose their reason to exist. But men like Matt here, they have no fear of muscles on a lady and find out that they actually desire it." Matt was fully aware of this fact himself. It was one of the reasons that he hardly dated. It was so hard to find women who fulfilled his image of what femininity really meant. "Perhaps, it's time you ate some of my spinach leaves, my dear. This poor young man is about to explode." Eudora set Matt back down with this warning, "Don't go anywhere. I think you're going to like this part." Then she turned to the nearest plant and swiftly plucked off ten leaves. She compressed them down to the size of a large vitamin pill and presented it to Emily, "Open wide!" Matt was overcome by his embarrassing hard-on and turned his lower body away from the two women. But he couldn't bring himself to tear his eyes off the equally surprised and embarrassed Emily, who swallowed Dora's makeshift vitamin pill whole. Emily was stunned by the feelings that started going through her body, starting with her stomach. Only logical, she thought, since that's where the spinach landed. But soon her whole body felt like it was expanding from the inside out. "Aunt Dora," she gasped as she stared out into space, trying to reign in the feelings rushing through her, "is this ... is this what it feels like?" "Oh, yeah, sweetie," her aunt replied. "Sorry I didn't warn you, but there's really no way of explaining it short of experiencing it." Emily was certainly experiencing it first hand. She watched in awe as her formally flat chest began sprouting boobs, REAL BOOBS!! The long sleeve t-shirt she had on that morning started lifting and stretching, the sleeves were tightening around her arms. She hadn't worn a bra this day, she thought she had one tucked in the back of her underwear drawer, but she wasn't sure anymore, just her usual 'strap-em-down-tight' sports bra. But cotton and lycra can only take so much stretching. As her tits expanded beyond belief, the poor sports bra gave up the ghost. The front of her shirt was not far behind. Tiny rips appeared in the fabric of the shirt in the middle of the rapidly expanding chest region and down the sides where the muscles from her back and shoulders were conspiring to burst free of any restraints. Her jeans were faring no better and she actually felt some relief when the seams long the sides began to split open. But the ripping continued unabated. Soon there was little clothing covering major portions of her now hugely muscled body. Her breasts, nearly the size of volleyballs rode up and down on her thick, power packed pecs, mesmerizing Matt who had been silent while taking all of this in. Emily hadn't grown any taller, so her massive muscles looked even larger to Matt. With the slightest effort, Emily tore the tattered remnants of her shirt and sports bra and tossed them aside. She was so engrossed with her magical growth that she even forgot that Matt was in the apartment. She stared at her gigantic breasts and huge arms and then brought her hands up into a double bicep flex. Each of her muscle bloated arms were easily the size of a cantaloupe. Suddenly a glob of white liquid splattered on her right tit. "Sor ... sorry ... I just ... just ... couldn't ... stop myself ..." Matt looked away, trying to hide his still rock solid erection, totally humiliated by his involuntary reaction to his fantasy woman come to life in front of him. "This body, these muscles," Emily spoke slowly trying to understand, "my muscles ... this is attractive to you?" She cautiously approached her colleague, while wiping off his ejaculation and trying a taste. The nearness of her and the sight of her tasting his jism was almost too much for him again, but he clamped tightly on the tip of his 11 incher and stopped himself from another embarrassing explosion. "Uh, yeah," Matt said, looking downward, "like incredibly so." Emily moved in closer, "Would you like to ... touch me?" Matt released his throbbing manhood and reached one trembling hand toward the super woman's arm. She felt electric currents running through her powerful body wherever he toughed her. She almost had several orgasms while just standing there. Slowly, she reciprocated, unbuttoning his shirt and stripping it off him. The seeds had even enhanced other parts of his physique a little as well, including an upper body that looked like a male underwear model would have. And then there was his cock! Emily's hands traced their way down to his belt. "Maybe we should take these off," she said as she flexed her pecs slightly while Matt's fingers played across the expanse of her chest, "wouldn't want to tear another hole, right? Maybe I can sew them for you." Emily was fumbling with the belt and the button and the zipper until she said, "Fuck it." And pulled his pants apart with a seemingly gentle tug. "Well, I've got some errands to run." Eudora was covered again by her winter coat and was standing by the door. Emily and Matt suddenly remembered that she was still there. "I'll be back tomorrow to check on you two." She stopped as she reached for the door knob, "By the way, Matt, the males of the tribe use the seeds to make themselves super hard for an hour or so to be able to stand up to the strength of the females. But then, they only eat one seed at a time. Try to be gentle with my favorite niece. "Oh, and remember, Emmie, the stuff wears off in 12 hours. Try and be gentle with my new friend. Who knows, if there's anything left tomorrow, I may like a go at him myself." She smiled, winked, and left. Their hands reached out first, then their eyes met. Then finally, gently, as Auntie Dora reminded them, their lips met. The kiss continued as their bodies slowly melted into each other, the kiss they had waited so many years for. "You have any plans for today?" Emily managed to ask. "Grading papers, getting together with some buds to watch football. You doing anything?" "I've only got one thing on my list," she smiled as she scooped Matt up in her mighty arms and walked into the bedroom, "and time's a-wasting." The End. Questions? Comments?
