Unwanted Pet? (PsionicCuttlefish & GreenEyedGirl)

[PsionicCuttlefish]

Johnny stared at the huge box in his living room and scratched his head.

It was supposed to be a gift of gratitude from one of his clients. Johnny worked as a business consultant and sometimes investor, not especially rich but decently well-off. He was known for always figuring out how to work out fair deals, and also turning cheats and frauds right back on themselves. After rescuing a small art business from getting acquired through questionably legal means and dissolved by a competitor, the owner had said that he would be sending Johnny a gift on top of Johnny's consulting fee.

The 'gift' had arrived, and it was a tall cardboard box covering what he knew to be some kind of metal cage. Airholes were poked in the cardboard here and there, and the box was plastered with lables of "Fragile!" and "Live cargo!". Johnny could occasionally hear something shuffling around inside the box. Johnny sighed and shook his head. The client had given him some kind of large, exotic pet? The dark-haired lanky-built man didn't think he could adequately take care of whatever it might be. But, it would be incredibly rude to send the 'gift' back...

There was a key taped to the side of the box, which Johnny presumed would unlock the metal cage once he took the cardboard covering off. He figured he might as well find out what kind of animal it was, before making any decision. Johnny pulled the key from the box and pocketed it for the moment, before getting a razor to cut through the tape holding the cardboard together. Slowly, the razor cut around one side of the cardboard, until an entire panel was loose. Taking a small breath, Johnny then pulled the panel away, to reveal the contents of the cage.

His eyes widened in shocked surprise at what he saw. On the other hand, what the inhabitant of the cage would see was a fairly tall man, at least a head higher than her, dressed in semi-casual clothes over lightly tanned skin. He had dark-brown almost black hair, amber eyes, and an oval face. While he wasn't particularly muscular, he was fairly toned, as he worked out semi-regularly at a nearby gym.

Waiting inside of the metal cage that was enclosed by the reinforced card board was one of the most thrilling and nauseating waits of Keely had ever done. A million worries plagued her mind as the anticipation of waiting slowly ate away at her nerves. ‘What if my new Master does not like me? If he finds me hideous and repulsive?!?!’ Were just a few of many doubts that had crawled into her head and harassed Keely’s usually calm self. These insecurities and feelings had not really started until she had been delivered to her new Masters home, listening as the delivery men and her new Master exchange a few words made Keely’s heart pound hard against her chest. It worsened as the sound of a blade beginning to cut away at the card board sounded…

As the piece of box was removed the bright light caused Keely to squint as her large light blue almost grey colored eyes readjusted to the change. The Lynx anthro was a sight, that was a sure thing; especially to anyone who hadn’t spent much time around beasts such as her. Keely’s pupils had readjusted to the light, making her eyes mostly a blue/grey color as they gazed up at the handsome young man that stood in front of her metal cage.

Keely sat on a bed of maroon goose down pillows in the middle of the metal cage, long grey and white hair fell around her beautifully tri-colored marked face. There was no doubt the new pet was a female, clothed in only black lacey panties and a matching black bra that was hardly holding her in; the small pieces of clothing hardly covered Keely’s shapely body. “H…Hello Master” A smile came to Keely’s lips and her short tale wagged uncontrollably.

Johnny stood still in disbelief for a moment as he stared down at the occupant of the cage.

An anthro. He had been given an anthro.

Johnny knew about anthros. They had been the first truly commercially successful instance of life that was genetically engineered from the ground up. He also knew what they had been made for...but he had never even considered getting one, even though his friends and his sister sometimes tried to pressure him into it, as he didn't have a girlfriend yet. In any case, this anthro was very pretty. She was a lynx, with beautiful colors and a healthy figure. She was also clad only in black panties and a black bra, making it hard to ignore what her purpose was, but when she suddenly spoke, Johnny did his best.

"Oh, um...h-hi..." Johnny said back absentmindedly as he fumbled with the key. The anthro was resting on a bed of pillows in the cage, but it still couldn't have been comfortable being transported with the cardboard covering. First things first, in Johnny's mind: get the poor thing out of there. "Here, come on, come out of that horrible cage..." Johnny said as he fitted the key into the lock on the cage door and pulled the door wide open, allowing the lynx anthro to step from the cage and into Johnny's home. "Are you thirsty? Hungry?" He asked quickly and worriedly. He had no idea how long she had been trapped in that uncomfortable cage and box...

In all truth, the cage wasn’t bad at all… Especially since it was lined and heavily padded on the bottom with many pillows. Keely had been in much worse at different times, it made her smile to see her new Master trying to get her out of confinement so hastily. Stepping out of the cage and into her Masters home Keely suddenly felt a bit shy, although it did not show. “I am fine. I am very excited to finally meet you Master.” Without hesitation the Anthro put her arms around her new master’s waist and hugged him; revealing just how much taller Johnny really was compared to Keely. The tips of her long ears just barely reaching under Johnny’s chin.

Keely could not only hear but also slightly feel Johnny's heart beat going a bit quicker than average for a human his age as she was pressed against him, still gently hugging him with excitement and eagerness. "Are you alright Master, Is there anything I can do for you?" Her bobbed tail waged slowly, Keely was eager for his attention; but also eager to please her new Master in ways he had only dreamed about.

Johnny watched the anthro carefully as she stepped out of the cage in case she needed help (and he most emphatically was not staring at her lingerie-covered assets...), but she seemed to be fine and uninjured as she stood up. He then winced slightly as she called him 'Master'. "Er, well, my na--" He started trying to say, when she suddenly hugged him and rested her head against his chest. The gentle embrace of her furry arms and body...actually felt rather nice, even though he was wearing clothes and was trying not to notice how her breasts squished against him...though his slightly-accelerating heartbeat did notice.

He looked down at her, with her ears cutely tickling his chin, until she tilted her head up to look at him and speak again. "Uhm...well, uh...I'm good for now, thank you. And, uh, my name is Johnny. What's your name?" he asked her, then added "And are you hungry or thirsty? You must have been in that terrible cage and box for hours..." He repeated his earlier question, trying his best to not to think about the long-term yet by focusing on immediate concerns.
