Captain Ellis had logged thousands of hours in the cockpit, his steady hands guiding planes through storms and turbulence without a hitch. At 42, he was a seasoned pilot, all sharp jawlines and cool confidence, the kind of man who never broke a sweat. But on this redeye flight from Chicago to Seattle, something went terribly, thrillingly wrong.
It started with a faint hiss from the ventilation system, barely noticeable over the hum of the engines. Ellis adjusted his headset, glancing at the co-pilot’s empty seat—Lieutenant Harper had stepped out to check on a flickering gauge in the galley, leaving Ellis alone in the cockpit. A strange scent wafted through the air, synthetic and slick, like melted rubber mixed with something primal. Ellis wrinkled his nose, muttering, “What the hell is that?” He flipped a few switches, thinking it might be a leak, but the smell only grew stronger—a weird, rubbery gas that seemed to cling to the inside of his lungs.
Within minutes, his skin prickled, a heat blooming deep in his core. He shifted in his seat, suddenly hyper-aware of the way his uniform hugged his body. His breath quickened, his pulse racing as the gas worked its magic. Thirty minutes—that’s all it took for the change to hit him like a freight train. His muscles tensed, then swelled, his chest and arms bulging against the fabric of his shirt, seams straining. A glossy, black rubbery sheen spread across his skin, starting at his hands and creeping upward, coating him in a slick, second skin that gleamed under the cockpit’s dim lights. His uniform melted away, replaced by the rubber, which molded to every curve, accentuating his newly enhanced physique.
But the real shock came lower. His once-modest presence transformed, now a throbbing, oversized force, straining against the rubber that encased it, amplifying every sensation to a maddening degree. Ellis groaned, his hands gripping the armrests as a wave of unbearable heat surged through him. He was so badly turned on, his mind fogging with a primal need he’d never felt before. His fingers twitched, aching to relieve the pressure, but he was still in the cockpit—still flying a damn plane.
“Harper!” he barked into the intercom, his voice rough with desperation. No response. The co-pilot was still missing, probably troubleshooting in the back, oblivious to the chaos unfolding up front. Ellis’s pulsing need grew unbearable, the rubber tightening around him, teasing him with every movement. He squirmed in his seat, the slick material rubbing against his swollen, aching core, sending shivers up his spine. His hands shook as he adjusted the autopilot, sweat beading on his brow. “Come on, man, where are you?” he muttered, but Harper didn’t answer.
The gas had done its work, turning Ellis into a rubber-clad beast, his body a monument of glossy black, his mind consumed by a single, relentless urge. He couldn’t wait any longer. One hand stayed on the yoke, the other drifting low, brushing against the massive, throbbing weight the rubber had created. A low moan escaped his lips as he gave in, the sensation electric, the rubber amplifying every touch. His head tipped back, eyes half-lidded, as he chased that release, the plane cruising on autopilot at 30,000 feet.
By the time Harper finally returned, the cockpit was thick with the rubbery scent, and Ellis was a panting, glistening mess, the rubber suit still pulsing faintly around him. Harper froze, eyes wide. “Captain—what the hell happened?”
Ellis turned, a feral grin on his face, his transformed, aching presence still evident. “You’re late,” he growled, the gas’s influence far from done. Whatever had leaked into the cockpit wasn’t finished with them yet—and Harper was next.
