Chapter 1

Just like every morning for as long as she could remember, Audrey woke up with the sound of chirping birds in her ears. The 20 years old woman got lazily out of bed and looked at the world through her window. Trees in their first flowering of spring met her eyes and she saw the birds moving around each, trying to woo their partners probably. She smiled as she saw a few people walking in the street. Their town – their country wasn’t huge nor densely populated, but ever since she’d been a child, she had seen more and more people being born here, and it made her so happy.

“Audrey, you’ll be late for school!” yelled her dad from the kitchen down there.

“I’m coming dad!” she replied, rushing to get clothed and then went to eat.

She was met by her whole family down there. Both of her parents were in their late forties and it started to show. Her dad had graying hair and even her mother started to show signs of age; but they were still healthy and strong, of course. As for her siblings, the twins seemed relatively calm today. At fourteen each, the two girls had really started to try and become different, eating different stuff, doing opposite activities, etc.

Helena was a shut-in, eating very little and thus her body was lither and perhaps a tad smaller now. Sofia, to the contrary, was outgoing, sportive – perhaps even too much – and she loved to eat food which would settle on her curves. Aubrey was proud of her C-cup breasts but her little sister already boasted a D-cup and seemed very intent on going ever higher on the alphabetical order. She was eating enough for two this morning while her twin took in just enough to endure through the morning – but nobody said anything, it was perfectly normal here.

“Ready for today? They’ll be giving out the answers to your applications, right?”

“Yes” replied Audrey, feeling nervous suddenly. “Marie and Anna said they were ready to pack things up as soon as they got the approval from the authorities.”

“They seem mighty sure they’ll get that” chuckled her father. “Maybe they’ll be disappointed and they’ll have to stay here.”

“I don’t know… usually, they grant those applications, right?”

“Yeah, but there are quotas. If too many of us leave this place…” said her mother, her voice trailing.

“Why would anyone want to leave?” asked the twins in unison, before looking at each other and giggling. “I mean… we’re safe here, great even!” continued Sofia.

“That’s true, but there is a whole world out there” said Audrey, almost longingly.

She hadn’t asked to leave this place; she hadn’t the courage, if she was being honest. To be thrown into a wide, unknown world of giants and all seemed just too much for her. She had always been terrified of those stories about those enormous peoples, the MAJORS. This place, one of the many reservations for minors made over the decades, was her world and she felt safe here. Even if she wanted to look from the walls so to speak. That’s why she had applied for the border guard’s course at the university.

“And what a world!” huffed Helena, who looked up from her small bowl so everyone would see her scowl. “Horny giants all around, bashing each other and stuff. We’re better here!”

“You’re just jealous because they all have tits bigger than your head” laughed her twin.

“They have tits bigger than your torso, whaley” replied Helena, which turned Sofia an incredible shade of red as the two teenagers started to argue.

Audrey ate her pancake without a word. Her best friends wanted to go there, in that world of titans, but she herself had no interest in that. She wanted to meet one of those MAJORS, perhaps even those legendary CYCLOS or whatever they were called… but she didn’t want to leave the reservation proper. 90% of the minors who did never came back. Either it was because they had found a mate out there, they died or they got pregnant with a MAJORS and the policy was to preserve, as much as possible, their gene-pool from MAJOR’s influence.

Since the reservations had been set up, more than 150 years ago, at the dawn of the CYCLO age of the Matthewsons and the like, this policy had allowed minors to move away from extinction. They were far less numerous than MAJORS, of course, but at least they weren’t threatened by oblivion because a dude over two meters and a half tall wanted to have sex with three of their kind in the same night, or something like that. It was a good thing, Audrey knew this. And still, she felt somewhat stifled, as if she was in a pretty cage.

“You did apply for the border guard, right honey?” asked her mother as she gently dropped a glass of orange juice next to her older daughter.

“Yeah… And I think I managed to do well on the exams but…”

“You aced them kiddo” said her father, pointing at her with his spoon. “No false modesty here, the border guard would be dumb not to recognize that you’re the best of your year!”

Audrey fidgeted. She had never been at ease with compliments, even from her family. She knew her athletic build had allowed her to do good during the exams, and she knew how to wield her hypodermic rifle and guns according to standards… but she couldn’t help but be worried. Shooting a dart at a picture of an angry MAJOR to make him fall asleep was one thing, doing so to a real one, in her mind, was something else altogether.

“Don’t worry sweetie. You’re young, even for a minor. You’ll have all the time in the world to decide what to do with your life if you aren’t selected to the border” said her mother gently as she kissed her forehead.

* * *

“Audrey Kerbrat!” called a voice and she jumped out of the chair she had been sitting and walked briskly toward the door.

It had been over an hour since she had come here, to the University. Almost all her friends had come and gone already. Marie and Anna had been elated, they’d both got to see the outside world – Anna was moving to Paris, barely four hundred kilometers away the next week ; and two weeks later, Marie would go to Melbourne, on the other side of the world. Audrey had been super happy for them, but also a little sad – she hadn’t any other real friends here and she didn’t want to leave that little region in the center of France where local minors were sheltered…

“Thank you for being here Audrey” said one of her professors, a wry old man with a large smile and a larger mustache. “No need to be nervous, I assure you.”

Professor Zitter always had the knack to calm down his students, and even today it worked. He looked at her with an amused glint in his eyes and it was enough for the young minor to feel her worries start to dissipate. On his left and right were two other people, whom she didn’t recognize. One seemed to wear an official pin, indicating his affiliation to the “government” of the enclave. The other was a black minor with curves which would have made Sofia sick with envy.

“Those are Martin Dubourg and Sephania Matthewson” explained her professor.

“Oh.”

She recognized the names, at the very least. Dubourg was the official liaison with the outside world, even if he rarely appeared in public inside the reservation proper. As for Sephania, her name and her proud bearing indicated that she was probably of the real deal Matthewson family. Audrey felt her nervousness return with a vengeance when she realized who would be delivering the verdict on her application. It was absolutely unheard off for such important people to be here!

“Don’t worry, all is fine” said the Matthewson gal, her voice powerful, confident but gentle. “In fact, it is your stellar results which have attracted my and Mr. Dubourg’s attention.”

“Indeed. You aced all your exams, physical and theoretical” said the forty something man with a slight smile. “Which has left with a conundrum we hope you’ll be able to solve.”

“Really? I, if I can be of help!” she replied too hastily, which made the three older minors smile.

“You see” started Pr. Zitter, “we have had a lot of applications for border guard this year. And in fact counting you, we are short one place and it’d break our heart to dash the hopes of one of you young people who have succeeded.”

“Therefore, we have decided to offer you a unique opportunity. Would you agree to be applied to the Outer Border guards?”

Audrey blinked. Was the Outer Border real? Everybody spoke of it in hushed tones, as if it was a conspiracy or something like that. Border guards patrolled the 10km deep area surrounding the habitations of the minors, but it was suspected that a further 20 km area existed. And it was said that minors weren’t the only ones patrolling in that area. Nobody was ever allowed to wander there, of course, so there was no proof of it, but Audrey was now offered an opportunity to discover the truth of it!

“I’m in!” she blurted, before turning red with embarrassment.

“Wonderful. You’ll have to move in the Outer border area tomorrow then. We’ll explain the details to your family, but we’ll require of you to choose your partner for this mission. At first it’ll be a six months long tour, to see if you can adapt. Here are three profiles we have selected. They are young  - a tad older than you however - but highly capable and have been grilled to be sure they’d be able to work properly with a trainee like you” explained Dubourg as he produced three files for her to peruse.

“We need your answer in an hour” stated Sephania with an encouraging smile.

* * *

That hour was far too short for Audrey’s taste. She barely had the time to really get a glance at the three women she had been told to choose from. But she had made her choice. Their resumes seemed great, the very little she had been given at least and they were beautiful. But the third one had had something which had caught her eyes. Perhaps it was her red hair, kept in a short, masculine way, perhaps it was her very muscular and yet perfectly feminine body… or a combination of all of that.

In any case, she was what she loved in women. She had never admitted it, but Audrey was attracted as much by boys than girls – perhaps even more girls than boys, if she was being honest with herself. She did her best to hide it, because there was a certain pressure for minors to give birth to new generations. And that Megan girl seemed just too beautiful for her to pass up the opportunity to work with for six months.

“An excellent choice – perhaps a bit bold, but we were the ones who put Megan in that trio” chuckled Matthewson, grinning at the other two. “She’ll be extremely happy to meet you tomorrow. I hope you’ll be ready, it’ll be a great change in your life, I’m sure you’ll love it however. Megan is one of our best elements.”

“Uh… why was it bold of me?” dared to ask Audrey as she exited, whispering it to her professor.

“Oh… If you haven’t noticed way, far from me to spoil your surprise tomorrow; all I can say is that Megan will surprise you” replied the old man. “Just, remember that if you ever feel insecure for whatever reason, you can call your parents or someone in there and we’ll act swiftly, okay?”

“Okay” she replied, a little cowed, but also elated – the next day would be memorable!

Chapter 2

Audrey got out of the Land Rover, her heart beating incredibly fast. She had never been that far from home. She lived in the historical heart of the Reserve, and now she was well past 80 km away from home. It seemed so strange, almost dizzying, and she wondered how her friends would feel when they’d move so much more beyond it. She hoped she’d be able to see them again some day, but right then she suspected it was all but impossible!

Her driver, a relatively tall 40 years old guy, at around 1m88, helped her put down her bags, containing almost everything she owned : her clothes, her books and her personal computer. She had been surprised to be allowed to bring so much stuff, since she had expected to live in a small cabin in the woods or something like that. Instead, she was now staring at a mansion – she couldn’t think of any other word – encased in an enormous wall, which extended in on each side of it as far as she could see.

“Is that…” she started, feeling a little nauseous contemplating something so big.

“Yeah, that’s the Outer Border. I’ve never seen what lay beyond, mind. But I’ve heard from people in similar posts than yours that it’s really something else. Anyway… I’ll be going now, your partner should be here in a minute and I need to go and drive someone else before noon. Good luck kiddo!”

And with that, Audrey was left alone. She looked at the car driving away and resisted the urge to chase after it. It was what she had always wanted. To be able to serve her community and yet see the world outside, if only a little! She shouldn’t have felt so sick now. Mercifully, she hadn’t the time to consider any of it, as the ground started to shake. She knew enough to suspect it was a tremor, even if she was surprised. It seemed pretty strong and yet she had never experienced any at home…

“Hey, you must be Audrey! I’m Megan, glad to meet you!” suddenly boomed a voice far high, by the wall.

Audrey swirled around and her mouth opened as she looked at the tallest being she had ever seen. The wall was at least six meters tall and now she was seeing the face of Megan, her partner, looming well over it, by at least two meters. The minor girl felt sick and she probably bleached because the immense creature looked worried suddenly. She seemed to jump over the wall, landing with such force that Audrey was sent on her knees.

“Sorry, sorry. They didn’t told you, right?” chuckled the ginger woman as she approached the prostrated minor. “I’m Megan and your Audrey. And, well… Yeah, I’m a  CYCLO.”

Audrey could only stand frozen in place as her mind was a pure mixture of existential terror and – to her own surprise – arousal. Megan was stunning. The minor was relatively small, barely 1m65 when that fiery-headed colossus had to be around 8 meters tall, at least. She had to look slightly up at her knee! And what a knee it was! Megan was just as muscular as she had seemed on the few pictures she had seen in her profile. She wasn’t just athletic, she seemed able to lift a truck with her bare hands!

“Yeah, I can do that. And I’m 8m23, if you want to know. That’s really tall, even for a CYCLO” boasted the giantess.

“Wha… How did you…” stuttered Audrey, terrified at the idea that this woman would be able to read her mind.

“Shit, so it IS true… you guys don’t use the Bond in here! That’s… insane!”

“The what?”

Audrey knew of the Bond. In theory. Supposedly, it was that sort of link between two minds – or more – one of which had to be a minor. But in the Reserve, nobody truly made use of it. Perhaps you could know how someone was feeling, but she had always chalked it up to basic empathy, nothing…. Out of the ordinary like the Bond was supposed to be! And now, here she was, with a giantess who looked at her a little puzzled.

“Oh gosh, I didn’t know” blushed Megan. “Forget it, I’ll do my best to not, uh, you know… read your mind.”

“No! No, it’s my fault!” yelped Audrey when she realized what was happening. Close your mind, she willed herself. Close your mind. Don’t think about how beautiful she is and… Close your mind!

“Do you, uh, want me to pick up your stuff?” asked the CYCLO, trying to find something to do which would prevent them both to talk about the very obvious fact that Audrey was falling hard for her and that they both knew it, courtesy of the minor’s mind being wide open.

They were super awkward and Audrey felt a little angry at her professor and the other two members of the jury who had sent her here without preparing her accordingly. Still, she couldn’t help but gawk as Megan effortlessly piled her bags in her stretched hand and lifted them as if they weighed nothing. Only one of them remained on the ground, the one with the “Fragile” label plastered on it. The ginger giantess looked at it then Audrey quizzically and the minor dashed to lift it as best she could and follow her partner inside the mansion – her house.

“So… I guess I am really the first MAJOR you’ve ever seen?”

“Yes…”

“Oh, don’t be ashamed – or afraid. They told me that there was a high probability of you being into me – you or any other minor, really!”

“That’s true?”

“Yeah. Plus… it’s flattening” blushed the giantess, as she looked over her broad shoulders. “I mean, back home, people don’t drool over the way my muscles move nearly as much as you!”

It seemed she was overcoming the awkwardness of the situation far quicker than Audrey felt able to. She had read about MAJORS of course, and how promiscuous they could be at times. But it was one thing to read about it, and one another altogether to be dealing with that in person. Megan seemed to like the situation now, as Audrey realized she was actually showing off, letting her muscles bulge and even adding a little swagger in her walk. And that grin!

“I’m so happy I chose to work here now” chuckled the giantess. “Everybody had told me it was dumb, that I was losing any opportunity to actually get a significant other – especially a minor one. But I knew they were wrong!”

Megan’s character seemed so bubbly and energetic that Audrey was starting to acclimate surprisingly fast to her towering size. But it also meant that she needed more time to truly register what had just been said. She stopped just as the CYCLO opened the door, revealing how sturdy and massive that slab of wood was, probably far too much for her to ever hope to even pry open a little. She looked at the colossus entering but she felt unable to move or even think and it wasn’t until Megan came back, looking worried again, that she startled out of it.

“Sorry, I zoned out!” she meekly said and she tried to dash into the house and a hand large enough to engulf her stopped her gently.

“Relax. I know you guys are…. Calmer in there and that you don’t live like your kind does in the outside world. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to work here so much, to be able to meet someone like you, a perfectly free and independent minor.”

The giantess was crouching now, almost sitting on her heels. And even then, she loomed at almost four time the size of Audrey, who couldn’t help but let her eyes wander on those large calves, those muscular arms, and even that torso, upon which the twin orbs of Megan’s breasts, rather petite compared to her frame, were well visible, an obvious proof of her sheer feminine power, if she ever needed one. Audrey gulped, her eyes finally focusing on the amused face of the giantess.

“You’re adorable” purred Megan. “I can’t wait to have established a routine with you, but you really need to relax. I won’t pounce on you or anything. And you shouldn’t feel too bad about your feelings for me. Everyone in the Outer border guard knows that’s how it works: a MAJOR and a minor together, partners in more ways than one.”

“Is that true?” dared to ask Audrey, who couldn’t believe that at all.

“Yeah, you’re adorable” grinned the giantess.

“No! I meant…”

“Yeah, I know; just playing with you. But yeah, on the Outer Border, it’s usually a MAJORS and a minor together – once the former has been cleared for that partnership, at least.”

“Hum… and people, MAJORS, they come from all over the world for that? No offense but, uh, you’ve got an accent…”

“Yeah. I’m from Kentucky” chuckled Megan. “It was hard getting accustomed to Europe and all the different measures and all that, four years ago. But I did a good job otherwise I wouldn’t have been selected to be partnered with you cutie.”

Audrey nodded, even if she felt a little overwhelmed. She didn’t know much about MAJORS really, it wasn’t a subject discussed at length in the Reserve. It was, after all, supposed to be a place freed of MAJORS interference as much as possible, hence the need for a border guard in the first place. But now, she couldn’t help but wonder how much of it wasn’t just a sort of grooming program. Perhaps MAJORS wanted ingénue minors popping from time to time? Made for better toys or pets or…

“Hey, no need to worry so much about all of it Audrey!” chuckled the CYCLO, who was still looking at her tenderly. “Gosh, you’re so cute when you blush” she added softer and she extended a finger to caress the left side of her face – with a tip larger than that. “We’re partners for the next six months, we’ll have time to talk about all of this and more. And if you’re ever uncomfortable with me, you know you can call the authorities anytime, okay?”

“Yeah, I know… But…”

“No but. You feel a tad unsafe, you call them, okay? They’ll know better than me how to help you adjust and if you need to return home or not. By the way, the first months it’s mandatory that you contact them every day. That’s really important, I’m counting on you. It helped me, if you’re wondering, when I started four years ago.”

“Four years… how old are you?”

“Thirty-two. And you’re twenty, gosh, you’re still a kid – almost” gushed the red-hair. “No, don’t take it badly, it’s one of the reasons I volunteered to be in your potential partner selection.”

“You… volunteered? How does that even work?”

“Well, the goal of the Reserve is to bolster pure minor’s lineage, so risking one of you guys getting pregnant when partnered up with a MAJOR is a big no-no. And, well, I’ve read that at first they partnered some dudes from the Reserves with gals from outside but it didn’t work out – the ladies got pregnant and separating MAJORS and minors in those situations felt wrong for all parties involved.”

“So today being gay or bi gets you into the Border guard more easily?” bluntly asked Audrey.

“Yeah.”

“And we’re expected to patrol together and be partners in more ways than one. That means having sex, right?”

“Only if you want to. But I know I’d love to. With you only” hastily completed the colossus.

Audrey felt a little dizzy. She hadn’t even settled into the house she’d spend the next six months and she was still confused, with everything she knew being rediscovered under a new light. She wondered for the first time if she hadn’t made a mistake choosing to join the Border guard. But when she looked up at that sculptural goddess in front of her, with her massive muscles and her raw femininity and that glint in her green eyes, she decided that she could at least try it on. With limits.

“Just professional partners, okay?”

“Ooh… yeah, okay. Anyway, you’re right, we need to get you settled first, I kind of spread everything on you too fast. Come on in!”

And with that, the CYCLO got up again and entered the house, gesturing for her to enter.

Chapter 3

Audrey felt as if she walked into a cathedral. Not that she had ever seen one, of course, there was none in the Reserve. She was used to low, one floor – two at best – houses and constructions. But she had seen pictures of some and it surely felt like it.

And the fact that everything was scaled to fit Megan’s size made the whole thing even more disorienting. She furrowed her brow. No, in fact, Megan seemed too tall for the house, with her furniture being slightly too tall like her cupboard near the built-in accommodations.

“Yeah, I’m… super tall, even for a CYCLO” said the ginger girl, not looking at her, but Audrey shivered a little – she needed to get her mind under control, asap!

“You’re… how much taller are you?”

“Hard to say…” slowly replied the giantess. “There are only a handful of people my size – literally. Most CYCLOS range between 4m50 and perhaps 6m30? But that’s just the average.”

“And… and MAJORS?” meekly pressed on the minor girl, who felt as if she’d get knocked out by the idea of so many people near Megan’s size.

“Oh, those guys are tiny,” laughed the Cyclo. “Something like 3m50 top, perhaps a bit more. Small CYCLOS and big MAJORS can be hard to differentiate – if there is even a difference.”

“They are tiny!? At more than 3 meters!?”

“Oh, I guess they’d be tall for you, yeah” admitted Megan as she continued to drop Audrey’s stuff on a sort of interior balcony.

“Yeah, they would, I guess…”

“But you know, there is no reason to be afraid with me around” boasted the CYCLO, flexing her arms and showing off her sculptural muscles in all their glory.

“Uh… okay. By the way, shouldn’t you put my stuff on the floor? It’d be easier for me to, you know, get it and start to unpack?”

“Oh, but your apartments are up here. It’s for safety measure, really” Megan explained hastily as Audrey gasped as she heard it. “Imagine if there is some sort of urgence and we both get up at night, or something like that. You being on the ground could be dangerous. But don’t worry, I’m super careful, really!”

Megan’s hasty reassurance did precious little to calm Audrey. She had bleached at the idea of being on the ground near that colossus if she started to rush around. She probably weighed enough for her to be crushed into a pulp even without any real strength being applied, and if Megan did apply some… Audrey shook her head. She was getting dizzy and it was becoming harder to breathe. She almost dropped her fragile bag as she leant on the nearby wall for support.

“Audrey, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Megan was speaking slowly and softly, looking at her as she clutched her bag. The CYCLO had finished dropping her stuff and now she was retreating away from her. It seemed so ridiculous that it pierced the veil of terror which had descended on her, if only a little.

Megan was now sitting, lowering herself as much as possible – even then, she still loomed over Audrey’s line of sight. But she seemed to try to look less intimidating. And the minor could have sworn she was hearing a sort of lullaby now, but Megan was talking at the same time.

“Audrey, look at me, you’ll be fine. See, I’m far away. You don’t need to worry. Why don’t you give me the bag, I’ll put it with the others and you’ll reach them by the stairway, okay?”

The minor girl nodded meekly and she slowly put the bag on the ground. She was unable to move just yet and she tensed even more when Megan very slowly moved closer to be able to pick up the bag.

She felt such a pure terror suddenly that she was unable to think straight, but a small part of her was starting to shake those feelings. She was ashamed and she looked away, blushing abundantly. Why was she behaving like that? Why was she losing her cool so easily!

“I’ll be getting up, okay?” said the CYCLO when she scooped up the bag in her hand.

“Yes” croaked Audrey. “I… I’m feeling better, sorry…”

“Don’t be, it’s only natural. You’ve never been around someone as big as me and I got a little… carried away I guess. I should have taken into consideration how much of a toll it must be for you!”

Audrey nodded and she found the courage to look at Megan rising. It was truly phenomenal. She was taller than most houses and trees she had seen back home. Back home. Merely 80 km away. That was nothing, she was realizing it now.

She had lived all her life a stone throw away from a world of giants and she hadn’t ever truly pondered what it meant. Her world was a bubble and she was now at its edge. If she wasn’t careful, she’d puncture it and nothing would ever be the same again, for her and her friends and families…

“Feeling better?”

“You know that already right?”

Audrey cringed a little at how weak and pathetic she sounded, but at least her little remark made Megan chuckle.

“Why don’t you get upstairs, it’ll be more comfortable to speak, for both of us.”

The minor girl looked around and noticed a small door, upon which was engraved the word stairs. She opened it and up she went. It wasn’t too long, merely a dozen seconds or so, because her legs were still wobbly, until she finally reached the balcony.

“See, isn’t it much better like that?”

Megan was still looking down at her, but not that much. The top of her head was “barely” a meter over Audrey’s line of sight now. Somehow, she looked even more massive, as she leant against the wall to have a better view of the minor girl who approached the railing.

“Whoa” whispered Audrey.

She was still frightened, and every time Megan moved, even a little, she was startled a little. But now that she didn't have to look up that much to see her face, she was realizing how pretty the CYCLO was. She blushed as those big green eyes seemed to pore holes into her skull and she turned around. With her plain face and her brown hair she felt so unattractive suddenly.

“I find you super cute,” said Megan, as she approached the balcony a little.

“I’d rather be beautiful” mumbled Audrey but the low chuckle she heard probably meant the giantess also had heard that. “I… I need to call my superiors to let them know everything is fine.”

“Oh, yeah, go on. I’ll be here, if you need someone to talk to you can see, okay? I’ll probably be cooking something for me, if you want a bite, I’ll be happy to share!”

Audrey nodded but she rushed into the more secluded area of the house. In here, everything was the right size – her size. She didn’t feel like she had shrunk, like when she was around Megan. It bothered her. She shouldn’t have felt smaller; it should have been the CYCLO who ought to look out of place.

But she seemed to radiate so much energy and confidence that the world had to admit she was the right size and everything else was just too small. Audrey shook her head and fished her phone out of her pocket. She called the number she had been given, ready to ask some serious questions.

“Hello Audrey. How are you doing?” almost immediately asked the voice of Pr. Zitter, whom she knew oversaw the young recruits in the Border guard.

“Uh… Not so well” she bluntly admitted. “I mean, nobody told me I’d be partnered up with a fucking giantess who can read minds!”

“Oh, so I'll take all went well with Megan” chuckled the older man. “I knew it was safe to put her up for adoption.”

“Excuse me?”

“That’s the colloquial term we use for the MAJORS who have volunteered to be part of the Outer Border guard. They are “adopted” by their minor partner, really. You were the one choosing her, after all.”

“Wait, she told me she volunteered to be in my selection! How can I have adopted her?”

“Well, I guess it is more of a mutual adoption, sure… she saw your profile before we made you your offer to join the Outer Border Guards corp.  If you had said no, she'd have remained alone here. But in case you joined, we needed to have three compatible profiles for you to choose one, you see?”

In truth, Audrey didn’t really see that, but she was too shocked to answer and clearly the professor felt that it meant that she had agreed to his words. He continued talking some more and she answered in a very autopilot kind of way. Her mind was trying to deal with the fact she was now supposed to live with a muscular giantess. A muscular giantess who also sported curves which were incredible and made her drool a little; and who could read minds, of course, because all of the rest wasn’t freaking enough!

“Audrey, are you still there?” asked the old fatherly voice. “I assure you that Megan is perfectly safe for you to be around, she won’t do anything too risqué or anything like that, I’m sure.”

“Oh, yeah, okay. Sorry professor, I zoomed out a little.”

“Don’t worry, I’m kind of used to that. All in all, you’re taking it really well. Call me tomorrow at the same time, okay? You’ll be able to better inform me of what you truly feel.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow then” she said, and he hung up on her.

Audrey sighed. She almost wanted to hole up in her section of the house but she was certain it’d have been both useless and cowardly. Useless because Megan probably could tore out of the walls if need be, and cowardly because she had been the one choosing to come here in the first place. She gritted her teeth and decided that she’d confront her crazy situation head on. Her best friends were moving out of the Reserve entirely, surely she could deal with an overgrown woman? It would have been pathetic otherwise!

“An overgrown woman. A very sexy, super muscular and curvy giantess whom I’d have asked out if she was my size already” she said out loud. “Come on, keep it together Audrey, you can do it! Megan won’t overwhelm you!”

Audrey tried to shield her mind. She had no idea how she could do that but she imagined that if she pictured walls surrounding her brain it’d work. She soldiered out of her room, into the “shared” portion of the house and through another door upon which – she just now remarked – was carved the simple word “kitchen”. She opened it and walked briskly, focusing all her will on the castle surrounding her mind. It had to work, it just had to!

“That’s a lovely castle, but you forgot the roof babe” laughed Megan without even turning around as she was cooking something. “And my! Someone is naughty! Do you want me to do what you just thought about?”

The CYCLO was laughing, a very throaty laugh now as she slightly turned around, offering a tantalizing view of her chest to the minor woman whose defenses had been blown away like sand in a storm by the sheer presence of the giantess. A ginger her dirty mind had immediately pictured naked as she was humming to herself, when she had had her back turned and she swayed a little, as if she was listening to music only she could hear. Audrey almost stopped breathing when a sly smile came over Megan’s face and she cupped her left breast.

“They are a lot heavier than they look babe. A little help supporting them would feel so good” she purred, her green eyes half closed as she turned more and more toward Audrey, who was now letting out weak gurgles as she tried to speak. “Don’t you want to help me, babe? It’d help us build up our relationship, we’d be better partners I swear.”

“My name is Audrey” croaked the minor, managing to lift her gaze from those perky and far too massive orbs on the muscular goddess to look into her eyes; she even managed to glare. “It’s not babe, Megan!”

“Hum, I like when you play hard to get, babe.”

The minor girl was startled. She blinked and suddenly she was still before the door leading to the kitchen. She turned beef red and realized that she had never gone through it. She had imagined all of it. She swirled around and rushed into her room. What was wrong with her? How could she be heels over head that just thinking about a woman she had just met, who could crush her as if she was an insignificant rodent, was enough to make her produce such vivid daydreams.

“I’m going to sleep, too tired to eat” she wrote Megan.

Unbeknownst to her, in the kitchen, the CYCLO looked at her phone and sighed. She hadn’t been able to see what Audrey’s imagination had pictured but she couldn’t help but feel the flare up of her sudden passion when she had approached her. If only the minor girl wasn’t that impressionable, perhaps she’d have picked up on what truly appealed to her partner. She looked over her shoulder, at the place where she knew the minuscule bed her petite colleague was now sleeping in and said six words.

“I’ll make you my wife.”

Chapter 4

“Wow, you look terrible.”

Audrey looked at her enormous hostess with bleary eyes. To say that she hadn’t slept well would have been an understatement. She couldn’t remember everything she had dreamt about in the few hours she actually managed to sleep, and what she could was blurry and rather shameful. She was doing her best to protect her mind, even if she had no idea how to, and she suspected that Megan was able to read her like an open book, what with that sly smile of hers and all.

“It was hard being far from my family” she replied, and it wasn’t entirely a lie.

“You’re not that far from them” chuckled the CYCLO. “I mean, it’s what, an hour-long jog, at most?”

“For you, perhaps. It’s longer for me.”

“Oh, yeah, sorry” blushed the giantess.

It made her look even more beautiful than she already was, realized Audrey, but she tried to focus on anything else than the beautiful freckled face of the ginger jumbo-MAJOR. Which wasn’t an easy task, considering how close her face was, here in the “command room” as Megan had called it. So as to avoid being drawn in those green pools of her eyes, the minor woman looked at the maps on the walls and the ginormous table down below – if she had been on the ground she could have strode easily beneath that thing without needing to bend her knees even a little…

“So, uh… what do you want me to do?” she asked, trying to decipher what she was seeing on the table, which seems to be a large screen showing off the maps of the surrounding area.

“Oh! It’s mostly helping me while I patrol the area. You see,” she continued, suddenly quite focused on her work it seemed, “we have sensors  all over the wall and then some in the nearby vicinity of it, roughly ten kilometers inside the reserve. Our goal is to make sure no one from the outside world comes in and wreaks havoc inside, basically.”

“When you mean someone, you mean a MAJOR, right? I believed that you guys all loved us now. Isn’t that the case?”

“Not really,” grimaced Megan, who seemed embarrassed. “You see, a lot of people, of MAJORS… they want to experience the Bond. It’s… really addictive. Like. A lot. But most pairings between a MAJOR and a minor give birth to MAJORS, because of the way our respective sub-species’ genes work, or something like that – it was never my forte, genetics. So basically, if we did nothing, we’d have a lot of MAJORS with minor ancestry and sure, it’d help increase the chances of two MAJORS birthing minors but…”

“But the overall population of minors would decline and reach extinction level?” continued Audrey, who bleached.

She had always known that her people were few in numbers – after all, they wouldn’t have been in a reserve – one among many around the world – if they were a healthy ethnic group. She had seen people from other reserves being brought here to meet up and see if they could fit and make the genepool larger or something like that. But it was one thing to know it in the back of your head, and quite another to be confronted with the real implications of that fact.

“Am I… where will I patrol the walls?” she asked Megan, her throat a little sore perhaps.

“You won’t.”

“What!?” yelped an indignant Audrey. “I’m sure I can do that quite well and –“

“I’m sure you can” said Megan gently but firmly, her deep, powerful voice drowning Audrey’s own with ease. “For one because you’re a newbie at this and we can’t have you that exposed yet. And also because no minor is allowed on the wall, since you’d be able to see what lay beyond and we don’t want it.”

“Then what am I supposed to do?” huffed Audrey, who felt her temper sour. “I’m to sit in your chest or back pocket while you look over the wall?”

“Well…” chuckled the CYCLO, who really seemed to like the idea. “As much as I’d love to see you there” she continued, lightly tapping the pocket which was stretched incredibly by her large rack, which made the minor blush abundantly, “No. You’re supposed to stay here and monitor the regions I’m supposed to patrol. You can direct me toward any intrusion faster than if I had to rely on someone at central command relaying the information to me.”

“There is a central command?”

Audrey immediately felt dumb asking it, as soon as it had left her mouth but she decided that she wouldn’t try to wiggle her way out of it. Of course there was a central command, but now that she had asked for it, she’d put her feet firmly on the ground and stand here, without feeling ridiculous about anything. She puffed her chest, which wasn’t really that impressive because her breasts were quite small – even proportionally speaking compared to Megan’s. But she had her pride, damn it!

Megan looked at her as she bit her lips and the minor woman couldn’t help but wonder how she looked to that colossus of a border guard. Probably ridiculous, especially since she tried to keep her mind for herself without any clue how to do just that… She should have probably meekly obeyed the older member of her team, who knew best what was expected of them, but she was prideful enough that she didn’t want to back down, even if it made her look childish. Perhaps she was childish, especially compared to the sexyness of Megan and…

“Yes there is” said the CYCLO, bringing Audrey’s mind back to the situation at hand. “It’s somewhere in your portion of the reserve, I’ve obviously never seen it. But the problem is the delays. If there is no reaction here, a message is sent to the central command, and then they react, but the thing is, MAJORS can move pretty damn fast on their little legs and they cover far more ground that their diminutive stature would have you assume.”

“Herm… Excuse me? Little legs? Diminutive stature? Are you sure you’re talking about MAJORS here?”

“Oh… yeah, for you they’d look kind of tall I guess” admitted Megan with an amused smile. “But they really are little. Not as much as you, of course” she continued, as she detailed her and Audrey froze, as if some huge predator was looking straight at her. “You’re… minuscule, and it makes me so worried…”

“Worried!?” yelped Audrey, whose tension was returning being so close to the CYCLO.

“Yes. I’m worried about you. It’s a big world out there, and what would I do if something happened to you? That’s why it’ll be a relief to have you here, partner. Also, you’re super competent according to the school, so I know I’ll have an even better rate of success doing my job with you here monitoring me.”

“I don’t really see how I can monitor stuff correctly here. The table’s too big for me, I’d need to be on top of it and walking on the screen seems dumb!”

“You should have a work computer in that locker” explained Megan, pointing at a piece of furniture that Audrey hadn’t even seen, most probably because the CYCLO was so much larger than life that it was extremely difficult to focus on anything but her. “Also, you have a pliable table in there, in theory at least” continued the giantess but the minor woman suspected that she knew exactly what she was thinking considering how larger her grin was now. “That way you can place yourself wherever you like even on the outside balcony.”

“Oh, okay thanks” meekly replied Audrey, who was now blushing abundantly. “So, I’m like, in charge of you, right?”

“The cheek of that girl” laughed the CYCLO woman, as she approached the inside balcony where Audrey was on, pressing her mounds into it to get closer. “You could say that, by the way. But being in charge of me would be taxing, I think. Let’s consider it more of an equal partnership, eh?”

She smelt so good! Audrey couldn’t help, as much as she wanted it to not be the case, it was all her brain accepted to focus on as she was less than a meter away from a face almost as tall as she was. It was mostly an odor of rose with a tinge of orange, which was her favorite perfume really, but underneath was also Megan’s own smell; and the only description she could think of about that one was wild. She didn’t stink, far from it, it was even a little intoxicating. She felt like an apex predator, a dominant would, in Audrey’s mind. It was the smell of a superior being.

“Thanks. You smell great too” whispered Megan, snapping Audrey out of it.

“I… I didn’t want to…. I mean, you are…” blabbered Audrey, who didn’t know how to get out of this very embarrassing situation, which she suspected would happen a lot until she learnt to close her damn mind off!

“You don’t need to be embarrassed” said Megan softly, her large eyes squinting a little to better see the small woman before her. “And you don’t need to be worried about your mind being so open. It’s great, really. I mean, you have beautiful thoughts and, well, uh… how to say it without sounding dumb… I love the way you think? It’s… soothing, if you will.”

As she spoke, she gently put her fingers over the edge of the balcony, clutching it lightly as if she was trying not to give in to an urge she wanted very badly to submit to. She even bit her lips. Audrey could have been worried, but something in the almost supplicating expression on Megan’s face, as if she was trying to convey that she really didn’t want to do anything to her without her consent, was strangely reassuring. It was almost as if instincts she had never known she had were awakening inside of the minor girl, now.

“You said you wouldn’t read my mind” mumbled Audrey, who was fidgeting now, as if she didn’t knew how to react around a giantess who didn’t even try to pretend she wasn’t into her – she had been clear yesterday, she wanted to have sex with her after all!

“I said I tried. And yeah, I’d love to be in bed with you. Naked. I’ve always wanted to have a minor lover. You girls are just too cute…” whispered the muscular redhead, her voice dropping to a very seductive low tone. “Think of all the possibilities, Audrey. I promise you’d never have experienced anything like that.”

Audrey trusted her, and she was on the verge of giving in. Megan was absolutely everything she wanted in a lover, physically at least, with the sole exception of her sheer size, but if she was being honest, being super massive enhanced her, since it meant she had far more muscles to explore, and she could do feats of strength that Audrey could only dreamt off. But she couldn’t give in to temptation like that! She had her pride as a minor!

“I’d rather we focused on work for now” she croaked, her voice sounding strangely unappealing even to her ears.

“As you wish Audrey” sighed Megan. “But the offer still stands. You just have to ask and I’ll do as you want. And just to be clear, I’m open minded, don’t hesitate to tell me what you want out of me, you know? Communication is always a plus, no matter the kind of relationship two peoples can have. I know it from experience.”

“Yeah, I, uh, I’ll try to remember it” blushed the minor woman, but she was saved by a sudden alarm.

The sound was loud enough to make her wince a little but what truly startled her was the sudden change in Megan’s behavior. Where she had been seducing and more than a little horny, she was suddenly all focused and almost angry as she looked at the map below. Audrey scrambled to get her computer and table out of the locker. The latter seemed rather basic, very light and easy to break, even for her, but the former was state of the art, far more advanced that what she had ever seen at home.

Megan was already bolting toward the door. It was terrifying to see something so big move so fast. She was truly super-human. She lifted a backpack she strapped on her back and then something which horrified Audrey. She couldn’t help but squeal when the CYCLO revealed a rifle, large enough to have been a cannon or a tank weapon for a minor. And she seemed more than ready to use it, considering her grim expression. But the minor’s reaction stopped her in her tracks. The red-head turned around and smiled gently at her.

“Don’t worry Audrey. I’ve never had to use that beast. But better safe than sorry, don’t you agree. I’ll be counting on you, by the way. My earpiece is connected to your computer, you can speak into it and I’ll hear you. Gotta go, remember to tell me if other alarms are tripped – I’ll need it to track whoever entered the reserve today.”

“Okay, will do” replied Audrey, who started to get into her role, pushing away all her fears, worries and stupor to be of use.

And with that, she was alone. She spent a few minutes putting the table up and picked a pliable chair in the same locker. It was rudimentary, truly, but it’d do for now. If she stayed longer, perhaps she’d see if she couldn’t get better stuff here, or at least something comfortable. The laptop was incredible, in a split second it was up and running and she could open the map of the nearby region. It wasn’t a lot of ground really, roughly 30 kilometers each side of the house along the walls and 10 kilometers deep inside the reserve itself.

A blue bip on the map indicated Megan’s position and Audrey couldn’t help but gasp when she realized that in five minutes or less she had needed to put up the table and everything in order, the CYCLO had already covered at least two kilometers and a half, if not three, towards the area, a dozen kilometers away from their base, where an intruder had tripped an alarm. She has to be bulldozing through the forest, realized Audrey, who could hardly conjure this picture of her co-worker pushing aside decades – if not centuries – old trees out of her way.

“Megan to Audrey, do you copy?” suddenly asked the giantess’ voice, quite strange to Audrey’s ears.

“Yes, I’m here” she replied, as she tried to analyze why she felt that way, as if something was off with Megan’s voice.

“Great. Can you tell me if a new alarm has been tripped?”

Chapter 5

Audrey tried her best to focus on the task at hand and not the voice of Megan. She appraised the map as she had been taught to do. So far, it didn’t seem that there was another alarm being tripped but it didn’t mean anything. She had learnt during her training that intruders rarely operated alone. Of course, she had been training to deal with minor intruders, not MAJORS or even bigger problems like a CYCLO. But she suspected it didn’t really change all that much. She was almost certain that nobody was dumb enough to breach a Preserve’s perimeters alone.

“Audrey, do you copy? Is there anybody else tripping an alarm?” urged Megan, her voice still grating in the minor’s ear.

“Not yet” replied Audrey, her tone a little tense. “I’m just… There! Another alarm and a third… Both are twelve kilometers in the opposite direction of the first!”

A loud swearing came through the communicator, and Audrey swore she could hear the giantess increasing her path, a low rumble of destruction surrounding her. But it was probably all in her head. Still, it was a tight spot. All those alarms had been tripped into their section of the wall and the Outer Border. It meant that they were their responsibility but Megan couldn’t be everywhere. Audrey realized that she’d have to do something, otherwise her first real work day would end in abject failure.

“Remain focused on the first one” she said to Megan, her voice stern. “It is moving inward in a direct path. Move ten degrees south and you should cross the intruder’s path in a few minutes! Meanwhile, I’ll be dealing with the other two.”

“Negative!” almost barked Megan, startling the minor. “You stay put, it’s too dangerous for you to engage with a MAJOR intruder, let alone two!”

“I’ve been trained to protect the Preserve too!” shouted Audrey, who felt a little angry suddenly. “And I have equipment able to deal with those.”

“But you can’t –“

“You can’t be everywhere Megan!” yelled Audrey, who was surprised at how fast she was losing her cool in a truly stressful situation and also at her ability to suddenly talk back to her partner like that.

It was then that she understood what was so strange with Megan’s voice. It sounded like a Normal. As they were communicating through earpieces and all, the difference in nature between their voices was erased. Gone was the low rumbling of the giantess speaking down to her; gone was the sheer presence of the red-headed woman which terrified and aroused her in equal measure. 

Right now, she was able to speak to Megan as if they were equals, and it was absolutely out of the question that she’d be treated like a little girl unable to set foot on the ground to defend the Preserve. She hadn’t trained just to be a glorified operator behind a desk. She liked to be out there, doing the work, instead of looking at a screen, it’s what had made her so good during her training, after all.

“I won’t be reckless, okay? If it’s indeed two MAJORS I won’t engage, I’ll just try to trail them” she told the CYCLO.

“They’ll notice you. Their senses are better than yours, and there is the Bond also” grumbled Megan. “Listen, I get it, you want to show me – and yourself – that you can be useful, but I swear that you are. Alone, I wouldn’t have been able to know that there were other intruders and – Hey! You there, stop!”

Audrey was startled, as the communication device stopped. It seemed that Megan had already reached the first intruder. She was indeed already a dozen kilometers away; and had left the minor’s mind shocked somewhat. It was truly hard to take in. It would have been absolutely impossible for a minor to do that. But Audrey hadn’t time to focus on that, she had to get a better idea of where the other two were. They had tripped more alarms and seemed to converge toward the same spot, four or five kilometers into the Outer Border perimeter.

They moved fast. Almost as fast as Megan, in fact. A cold shiver ran along her back. What if they weren’t MAJORS? What if they were CYCLO? Megan had told her that she was extremely tall for her kind but did it truly mean that she was a rare oddity? Or was she just taller than average in the same way a minor gal could be as tall as a man and thus considered tall. Audrey felt weak and then angry as she felt absolutely pathetic. She had training to deal with intruders! Even MAJOR ones, she had various tools to stop them!

She wanted to get up and start running for the intruders, to stop them, but she couldn’t as she lacked the equipment to reach them fast enough. And also, an irrational fear was gripping her – or was it rational? After all, if those intruders were as tall as Megan, as strong as her… would she even be able to stop them? Wouldn’t they just trample her as if she was nothing? With a growl, she got up, shaking those worries off.

“I don’t have any proof they are violent toward minors anyway.”

Audrey said those words as an attempt to dispel her fear. There was no reason she had to envision those intruders as anything more than overeager teenagers. As far as she knew, it was quite common for MAJORS to think a long time after they had acted. She’d walk to them, talk some sense into them and all would be fine. She’d even get to show Megan that she wasn’t a fragile little thing to tuck away in her huge house. She was more than a pointer to a new direction for the behemoth to bulldoze to!

Her eyes only focused on her screen, with the two red dots of the people who had tripped the alarm moved deeper and deeper into the forest. They were too fast and she had wasted too much time already. They’d reach the Inner Border and then it’d be her fault. She hadn’t been given the tools to do her job properly. Or if they existed, Megan had not judged it worth her time to inform her of their existence.

“Audrey!? I’m back!” suddenly called Megan, making the poor minor girl scream and jump high in the air. “Is everything alright?”

“Yes, yes! You just surprised me!” replied Audrey as she blushed abundantly – gosh, she was absolutely pathetic!

“Okay.” Megan didn’t sound convinced but she didn’t dwell on it either. “I’ve subdued our little tourist. Can you tell me where the others are now?”

“Uh, yeah… they are… about a kilometer north-east of… lake Eaufroide?”

Audrey was confused, she had never seen that lake anywhere. She was starting to realize that the maps of their little community were largely outdated – or at the very least too low in details. Perhaps it was meant to confuse any kid who’d have tried to wander into the woods? Or another deterrent in case some invaders got help from inside. If nobody knew the real lay of the land, then surely they couldn’t help would-be intruders? It seemed to make sense but it didn’t help Audrey feel better.

“Great! I’ll catch them now. Stay put, okay? I need you to call Central and tell them we’ve got an apprehended idiot in custody already, okay? I’ll be back super soon, I promise! I’ll run to catch them now. I’m counting on you!”

With that, the com went silent again as Audrey stood frozen in her chair. She’d run now? She hadn’t been running when she went to apprehend the MAJORS she had caught, and subdued at an alarming speed? The minor girl blinked and looked at her map. The blue dot which was Megan was moving. Fast. Far faster than before, in fact. It was hard to estimate the gain in speed, but she clearly covered a lot more ground than the two intruders.

Audrey shook her head and focused on a grey dot no unmoving. The “subdued idiot” as Megan had called him. Audrey licked her lips, finding them surprisingly dry. She shook her head and tried to focus on what she could do. Her opportunity to prove herself was gone, now the least she could do was to be of use to Megan, she reasoned. She searched for the communication channel with Central command and gave them the information she had.

She didn’t focus on what they said, not really. She was still able to answer them and note what they told her to write down. But most of her attention was focused on that blue dot, which seemed to fly over the trees, considering how fast it was. And even then, she suspected the GPS had a hard time tracking Megan down. At some point she crossed a pathway, probably used by minor cars to join the various outposts/home of the Outer Border’s guards, and she dashed even faster on the map.

Less than thirty seconds later, the two dots had reached the same path. But by then, Megan was almost unto them. Audrey said goodbye to Central, informing them that her partner would surely apprehend the other two in a few minutes and that she’d call back once it was confirmed. But she was wrong. The three dots encountered each other as she was about to hung up. Less than thirty seconds later, one of them went grey, while the other dashed back toward the Border Wall. It didn’t go far. Two hundred meters at best if the sensors were right.

Then it turned grey also. Now, Audrey’s mouth was fully dry. She couldn’t grasp what had just happened, at least not entirely. In less time than it’d had required her to go over the second intruders, Megan had covered twice as much ground and suppressed them with what seemed to be contemptuous ease. She informed Central of this sudden development, with a hollow voice and finally she was alone at home, the line silent. The next few minutes were spent in complete silence as Megan came home at a relatively slow pace – for her at least.

Audrey felt particularly small and weak as she looked at the giantess approaching. What had she done which truly required her intervention? She was pretty sure that even if Megan had had to call Central or come back home to check on the intruders, she’d have barely lost time to catch them. Heck, if she had run to catch the first one, perhaps she’d even have been quicker because she couldn’t have lost time talking to her! A nauseous sensation nestled in Audrey’ stomach. Shame.

She had believed herself ready for that at the very least, but she clearly wasn’t! She was just useless. Her friends dared to leave the Preserve, all she could do was stay here like a pathetic little loser. Oh sure, she talked big, she said she wanted to patrol the borders and all. But it turned out that the very first day she had a mission in the Outer Border’s region, the Border for grown-ups, she was taught how superfluous she was.

Bitter tears formed in her eyes and, try as she might, she couldn’t suppress them. She needed to get in her room! She couldn’t let Megan see her like that. She’d be embarrassed enough the next day when she’d hand over her resignation and seek out a more fitting job for a loser like herself inside the safer zone of the Preserve. She couldn’t bear the thought of looking at Megan right now. She was too distraught.

But just as she tried to force herself up, the door opened and she froze in place. She tried to stop crying, to wipe her tears away.  She even tried to put up mental barriers to prevent the CYCLO ginger to know how she felt deep down. But of course, it was all but impossible in her current state, and all she could do was sniffle and cry as Megan entered the shared space-work to look at her with concern in her beautiful green eyes.

“Hey, hey, hey! It’s okay!” she said in a hushed voice, which had now reclaimed her powerful, otherworldly quality to Audrey’s ears.

“I-i-I’m sorry” cried Audrey, who suddenly found herself able to make a beeline for the section of the house which was minor-sized only.

Only, Megan was fast. Faster than even her little demonstration in the forest led Audrey to believe. She had barely jumped out of her chair in shame that a huge hand blocked her way. She yelped but before she could do anything else, she was gently sandwiched between that hand and a second one, and then lifted from the ground. She froze in place, her mind blank with terror, but in a matter of seconds she was deposited just above a powerfully beating heart.

“Hey, it’s ok. They told me the first few days would be hard for you for plenty of reasons. There is no need to be afraid, or shameful.”

“But, I didn’t do anything today and…” commenced Audrey before she had to muffle her cries by sobbing into the collarbone of the giantess who held her so carefully.

Audrey felt absolutely terrible. She was showing such a pathetic image to Megan, who had devoted her life to protecting her kind, and she couldn’t help it. It was as if the little changes in her life in the last few days had just been too much and she was drowning now. She felt horrible and she wanted out but she didn't have the strength of will to push herself free from the soft embrace of the CYCLO red-hair who held her in such a gentle way.  It was just horrible.

“Sleep well” suddenly said Megan and before she knew it, Audrey drifted to sleep, her worries seemingly erased.

* * *

Megan let out a sigh of relief when she felt the distraught mind of her partner calming down, descending into a necessary sleep. It was still early in the day, but she needed it to get back on track. Using the Bond that way to a Minor felt off, she didn’t dare delve into Audrey’s mind beyond what the little one broadcasted so violently around her, but she knew she had done the right thing. The minor girl was in disarray and she wasn’t equipped to make her feel better any other way. She was too big and too much of a MAJOR for that.

Megan tentatively took a step toward the shared section of the house. She could probably drop Audrey someplace safe in the minor portion of the building, but what if she caught a cold or something by sleeping on the ground? Plus, she admitted, she looked far too beautiful as she slept calmly on her like that. Megan bit her lower lips with repressed sexual desire. She could have used that opportunity to get to know her little partner. But it wouldn’t do. She’d seduce Audrey, not rape her!

“What I wouldn’t do for a cutie like you” she sighed, spending the next few hours looking at the small woman with genuine tenderness.

When Audrey woke up, she felt incredibly disoriented. She blinked several times, trying to understand where she was. It was the house she shared with Megan but something felt off. It didn’t look like the bedroom she had been in once already. And she wasn’t on her bed! She was startled awake by that realization but she froze in shock when she realized where exactly she was. On Megan’s lap. And Megan was looking at her with a lovestruck face as she stirred. Audrey opened her mouth but couldn’t let out more than a surprised croak.

“Hello there” chuckled the giantess, clearly finding her reaction cute, as if she was some sort of kitten or something of the sort. “Did you sleep well? You seemed like you really needed it, but perhaps I overdid it?”

“O… overdid it? What do you mean?” squeaked Audrey.

She hated to admit it but waking up on that woman’s lap was absolutely incredible. Just one of her thighs was larger than her whole body, several times over! And Megan only wore short pants, meaning that one of Audrey’s hands was resting on her skin. It was mind-blowing to feel something so smooth hiding the monstrous strength she couldn’t help but feel with every minute movement the CYCLO did. How much stronger than she was just that minuscule portion of her body?

“Well you were… distraught” explained the giantess, her voice surprisingly soft and kind, without a hint of judgment, and yet it somehow grated on Audrey’s nerves.  “You clearly needed a reprieve from, well, everything, and so I used the Bond to get you to sleep peacefully. I think it did you wonders but perhaps I was too forceful, I didn’t expect you to sleep the whole day off, really!”

“The Bond can do that!?” yelped Audrey, who was really starting to wonder why she had never been told about it before! “Why do nobody make use of it back at home then!” she mumbled, not realizing she was speaking it aloud.

“I don’t know for sure but I guess it has to do with the rules of the Preserve’s legal existence or something” said Megan, who didn’t seem to be bothered. “Anyway! How are you feeling now?”

“I… Better” admitted Audrey as she slowly got up and took a good look at herself. “It… helped me to sleep, yeah. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome! You did a great job on your first day and… did I say something I shouldn’t have?”

“No, it’s… it’s just that I feel like I was utterly useless today” admitted Audrey, her throat tightening because of her shame. “I mean, what I did, anyone could have done, and even without my help I’m sure you’d have managed to catch them alright!”

“Well, yes but no” replied Megan, which managed somehow to make Audrey snort a very short laugh. “Really. Yeah, I would have caught them, at least the first one. But the first two could have entered the Inner Border region where I can’t enter and would have put minors at risk there. Also, you made sure there weren't more invaders who could have escaped my notice before it was too late for me to catch them.”

“You’re just telling me that to make me feel better” mumbled Audrey, who suddenly felt very much like a moody child. “I mean, I saw how fast you were! You could have caught them just as quickly without my help. You’ve got the app to track them down on your phone or something like that, right?”

The minor woman suddenly realized that Megan was blushing. And she wasn’t looking at her face. Somehow, in her agitation, her shirt had unbuttoned a little and now revealed her very modest cleavage. Beneath her feet, the enormous legs of the giantess shifted uneasily, as if their owner was trying to resist some impulse to move and pounce on her. Audrey suddenly felt a strange arousal invading her thoughts. She frowned and tried to fight it away, but it was extremely hard, even though she couldn’t understand why she felt that way.

Sure Megan was a bombshell. Muscular body, without being too muscular, with curves to die for and those short orange hair which was for now arranged to look like a pixie bob, this pale skin, covered in beautiful freckles. And those eyes. Audrey bit her lips just as Megan did the same and out of the corner of her eyes, the minor woman caught a glimpse of a powerful hand clutching the arm of the sofa for dear life.

“What’s happening to me?” she whined.

Suddenly she was acutely aware that she was smaller than knee-height compared to her partner. If Megan truly wanted it, there was nothing she could do to stop her. But did she truly want to stop her? Wouldn’t it be better to just give in to the lust she was now feeling, no matter from whence it came? Surely, it’d be an experience unlike any other she had ever known, to lick the mound of that colossus, to eat her out while her legs would form a canyon around her and she’d explore her insides like no one had done before!

“I need some fresh air!” yelped Megan, startling the smaller woman and then sending her tumbling on the sofa as she gently but firmly and quickly pushed her aside from her lap.

Audrey was still recovering from the commotion, her mind clouded by the lustful thought which she couldn’t explain. She blinked and managed to roll on her tummy just quick enough to see Megan’s majestic body going through the front door and closing it with a loud bang. The minor woman felt her head throbbing now, as if she was hammered down by alcohol. What was happening to her? Could it be the Bond, again?

It was probably the case she realized, since her mind cleared far too quickly. Had she actually been overpowered by Megan’s arousal? If so, it had to have been frighteningly powerful, since a modest view of the minor’s breasts, small as they were, had been enough to send the CYCLO into such a pit of lust. Audrey couldn’t deny that she had picked Megan as a partner because she looked stunning but still, it seemed to be something else entirely than normal attraction for someone’s physique she had just endured.

She felt hot, as if she had actually done the deed. Audrey closed her eyes and opened them again. She got up, feeling somewhat weak in the legs and approached the edge of the sofa. She didn’t feel like staying here for who knew how long it’d take for Megan to calm down – which, she had to confess, was a testament of how well the giantess was able to control herself. If their natures had been switched, Audrey wasn’t sure she’d have managed it as well as the CYCLO bombshell.

“No need to focus on that now, I must get back to my portion of the house” she said aloud, to try and deny the dizziness in her head.

But when she looked over the sofa toward the ground, she groaned and fell backward. That thing was at least three meters off the ground! There was no way she could just jump out of it, not in her current condition at least! She breathed slowly to try and calm herself and then looked around her. It was then that she truly realized how massive Megan was – and how puny she looked in comparison. Nothing could have prepared her for it.

She had heard stories about minors living with MAJORS – with her best friends dreaming of that life, it was obvious she’d learn about it, and all of them insisted on the fact that it was like being a child forever. Their world was made for taller beings and thus minors always looked like little kids waddling around and what not. It was already strange enough but at least everyone had some memories of how their family’s homes had looked like to them when they had been little children. But Megan’s house was something else entirely.

It made her look positively puny. She was probably toddler size – at best – compared to the giantess who inhabited here, and it was something which was really unnerving, now that she was alone in here, and had some time to mull things over. She couldn’t live here, not independently at least. It was a sudden and strange realization, and yet it seemed incredibly logical, as if it had been a foregone conclusion she had known for a long time but just admitted it just then.

Audrey approached the edge of the sofa again and looked down over it. Perhaps if she clutched it as she passed over, she’d be able to climb down? The whole thing seemed far too smooth for her tastes but she had to be able to do that, if she was careful and took her time. Worst case scenario, she’d slip and sprain her ankles, but nothing too terrible. She just felt that she needed to get out of that place and to get back to her portion of the home. She’d feel better once she’d be in her “refuge” – even if she wondered if Megan wouldn’t be able to crush the walls to get her, if she so wished.

“No time to think about that” she mumbled to herself, as she wiped the cold sweat off her brow and started to position herself for her descent.

She had done far harder climbing down, she reminded herself. Her training for the border guards had been arduous after all. Sure, nothing a MAJOR or a CYCLO would have found impressive, she guessed now that she had seen what Megan could do. But still. Surely she’d be able to get out of that sofa, even with moist hands and wobbling legs! She stopped thinking and got on with her task, for fear of remaining stuck in place otherwise.

The first part was easy, since she only had to lay on the sofa and then put her legs over the edge, slowly descending, with a firm grip on the material. But it soon became evident that she had made two crucial mistakes. The first one was that she hadn’t taken into consideration the sturdiness of the sofa’s material, which gave her almost no purchase – it was made to sustain a CYCLO’s handling, after all, and her strength couldn’t affect it at all.

The second one, even more crucial perhaps, was that she hadn’t planned ahead, and she realized it when she was dangling, held only thanks to her grip on the sofa’s edge. She didn’t know where the nearest way up to her section of the house was, and it was a real danger for her safety. Megan had barged out, but she could just as quickly barge in, and if she was injured and on the ground when she did… Audrey almost lost her grip when she realized she could be trampled to death by the CYCLO if she wasn’t careful.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic” she whispered to herself.

Audrey knew she was in a pinch but she needed to get out of it by herself, no matter how dangerous it could have been. She had put herself in such a precarious position and she felt it was her duty to correct that mistake. It’d be a way to prove herself that she could do at least that; that she wasn’t entirely dependent on the giantess who lived here to come and go. She gritted her teeth and tried to continue her descent, as safely as possible. And of course, she lost her grip.

She fell toward the ground, but her training kicked in. Instead of colliding harshly with it, she managed to make a last second roll, dissipating the strength of the fall into it. She stopped, panting, and looked up. She didn’t seem to have hurt herself, and as she got up carefully she couldn’t help but smile. She was down, on the ground, in a house made for a literal giantess, and yet she was fine! She had managed to get down off the sofa by herself!

Her excitement was short-lived however. It seemed a little childish to celebrate the fact that she had done something as basic as getting out of a piece of furniture, after all. She frowned, but Audrey tried to push away those feelings. It was no ordinary sofa, after all, and the rest of the house was of the same caliber. That place was huge, and so was the furniture. Now that she was on the ground, without Megan’s body commanding her attention, she realized that everything wasn’t just far taller than she was used to.

Everything looked sturdier, larger than if it had just been made for someone who was over 8 meters tall but largely normal nonetheless. Everything was chunkier than she would have believed. It didn’t require a genius to understand what it meant. Megan wasn’t just taller than even “normal” MAJORS. She was stronger. And from what she knew of this other kind of humans, Audrey suspected that it was by a lot. MAJORS far exceeded the physical limits of minors, even beyond their scale alone.

“It’s really insane” she said aloud, as she turned around slowly, trying to find an exit. “I mean, how do you even build stuff for several meters tall people anyway? They must be so strong and heavy… normal materials wouldn’t be able to endure it, surely?”

The minor woman shook her head, forcing herself to ignore how everything made her look even smaller than she was already. There was a pot she hadn’t seen in there before, with a shrub in it. Not flowers, but a whole shrub, big enough that she’d barely have been able to see over it, had it been on the ground. And it was just used as someone would with flowers or little plants in their house, to make it feel inhabited and cozy.

Marching toward the eastern wall, she passed by a large wooden table, which seemed to have been carved out of a redwood tree. An old one, with a large trunk, which would have been barely reduced in width by the workers who had turned it into a low table, clearly used to eat before something which looked more like a theatre screen than the very large TV it was. Even the tiles of the ground were far larger than anything Audrey had ever seen, each massive enough to cover a fifth of her room’s ground, back home.

She focused on the task at hand and reached the wall where she expected a door her size to be. Considering what little she knew of the house, it was perhaps wrong of her to assume it’d be there, of course. At first she couldn’t see anything and she started to get nervous once more. What if she ended up fidgeting on the ground when Megan would get back in and she was stomped by the red-haired giantess?

That thought almost prevented her from noticing the door. It was half hidden from view by a large bookshelf, filled with dozens of books almost as tall as Audrey. She didn’t even glance at their titles, instead wondering why they were so close to the minor-sized door. They didn’t prevent her from opening it, but anyone bigger than her would be hard pressed to reach it. Megan would never be able to set her huge foot in there.

“That’s it!” yelled Audrey just as Megan finally got back inside.

As soon as she had dashed out of her house, Megan felt like she had overreacted. She could have remained with Audrey inside, surely. It wasn’t the minor’s fault that her buttons had come undone a little and she displayed her modest cleavage for the giantess to see. The CYCLO sighed. She wanted nothing more than to return inside right now and talk to Audrey, like an adult. 

She had read so much about minor psychology, she knew her actions wouldn’t help calm her partner’s down. She needed to talk, not grunt or let her urges take the better of her. She couldn’t blow the opportunity to finally be with a minor who could end up her Bondmate. She sighed and slapped her cheeks, as if to try and clear her mind. She needed to focus on anything else than Audrey’s innocently displayed chest!

But damn! She looked so sexy!

It had been such a strange day! She wasn’t used to having a partner for starter, but Audrey had been incredible. Perhaps a little bit disoriented at first, but she had gotten her wits back soon enough. And the CYCLO had enjoyed some good old punching and kicking on three idiots who thought they could trespass on the Reserve. Funnily enough, she knew all three of them, they lived in a town nearby. Teenagers had decided to do something stupid and, of course, she had put them in their place.

“And damn, it felt good!”

As a colossus, even among the tall MAJORS, Megan had lived all her life in a world too fragile for her. As a teenager, when she had truly started to grow well above the size of anyone she knew who wasn’t her parents and siblings – all CYCLO – she had discovered how dangerous she could be for those around her. Once, she had lost her temper and punched a tree when attempting to hit someone. The barks had exploded, the trunks caved in by the sheer force of her arm – and it was before she started training hard to build up muscle mass.

It would have seemed strange to a minor, she knew it. For the smaller breed of humans, being that strong and thus dangerous for those around you wouldn’t have been appealing, or at least not as appealing. For Megan, like any CYCLO, who in that regard surpassed MAJORS in the same way the latter were above minors, it was intoxicating. She loved weighing herself on her scale after a long build up session and seeing the weight go up thanks to the muscles growing. She absentmindedly caressed her abs, where the last of the three intruders had punched her.

She hadn’t even a bruise. In fact, the young man had probably broken his hand on her, considering how much he yelped and then whined, clutching it. It was something exhilarating, that power. She could bulldoze through the forest, if she wanted to, there was absolutely nothing in there that could pose a threat to her. She was almost certain she’d be able to move through some boulders, if she truly applied her will to it. At the very least, she could lift them from the ground with contemptuous ease and crunch them with only a portion of her strength – she did it sometimes, for fun.

And now, she lived with someone more fragile than any she had ever even seen before! She was like a goddess compared to Audrey – she’d live twice as long, her brain power was vastly superior and the difference in their physique was so immense it was laughable. She had more strength in her pinky than the younger woman in her whole body! If she wanted to, she could simply lift the minor and do whatever she wanted with her, and there was nothing Audrey would have been able to do to stop her, nothing at all.

It made Megan feel both terrible and tempted. She wanted to have that minor for herself. It was egotistical and a dereliction of duty, she had sworn to never try to force herself on a minor when she joined the Border Patrol of the Preserve. But Audrey was just too damn beautiful! She looked so frail and frightened, she needed someone to protect her, to coddle her and spend her time with her. Megan knew she was extrapolating on what she had seen the last few days, but she was almost certain the minor girl would thank her if she acted as a wall between Audrey and the outside world.

Some minors wanted out of the reserve, never enough to satisfy the needs for a Bond among the MAJORS, always too many according to the company supervising their numbers worldwide. Megan’s duty was to make sure nothing came to wreak havoc on the life of her smallest cousins, while being largely denied a direct tie with them. She had sometimes approached the delimitations of her patrol zone, like all her peers, to try and spot one of the Inner Border patrols, composed entirely of minors. Alas, she had never seen one.

Now, Audrey was in her home and the only two things she could think about was how cute she looked while sleeping and how much cuter she’d look, licking her hungry pussy, utterly but gently dominated by her. Megan knew her body was very attractive, and she knew, thanks to Audrey’s openly broadcasting it with her minor abilities, that she was finding her super sexy. The CYCLO cupped her huge breasts, which seemed somewhat out of place on her athletic body. She shouldn’t have had such massive mammaries with all the care she cooked and all. But she had those and they were a great weapon of seduction.

She cupped them, enjoying their weight. The first CYCLOS, back well over a hundred years ago, had some massive tits for their size, but they were smaller than her. She towered at over 8 meters after all! She had never weighed her tits, she didn’t feel the need, but she knew they were denser than people usually gave them credit for. When she walked around the forest, her breasts snapped branches, even big ones, as if they had been made of stone. She knew of nothing in the natural world who could move them.

Even MAJORS struggled with them. She had had several of them as lovers, back in the day, and they had to use far more strength than they liked to move her orbs around or massage them. She couldn’t help but picture Audrey stuck between them, her puny body unable to wiggle free, forced to earn her freedom with kisses and licks and perhaps even a good old fashioned nibbling on nipples the size of her face. Megan moaned softly, thinking about it all. She hadn’t realized how pent up she was, and it almost frightened her.

Almost. But she was a CYCLO, fear didn’t come naturally to her kind. Instead, she decided to allow herself a little bit of pleasure. She lived alone in the woods, and it meant that she had some liberties when it came to her behavior. Audrey was inside so she couldn’t even see her, still waiting for her on the sofa probably. With a grunt, Megan removed her shirt and popped one of her breasts out of its confine, while her other hand hungrily pushed away her short and panty, offering for anyone who could have seen it a clear view of her nether region.

She didn’t shave down there, she loved the feeling of power it gave her over her partners, always smaller than her, when she pressed their faces into that tangled mess of red pubic hair. They were particularly dense and long, enough that she suspected they’d have formed quite the wooly carpet for Audrey. She gently pushed her fingers inside of herself, as she cupped her nipple with her other hand. Then she started to fondle and touch herself in a very brutal way. Any minor seeing her then would have been terrified, but she loved it rough.

It didn’t take long for her to achieve her orgasm. She was easy to please, mercifully, and the simple presence of her minor near by was enough to drive her lust to such a higher degree that she barely needed to touch herself to come. She managed to not roar, at great cost, when her fingers had reached the feverish rhythm which she loved so much. As soon as she was over, a rivulet of fluids on her inner thigh, the only real trace of her actions, she sighed and shook her head.

“Man, I needed that” she groaned, smiling.

Usually, she went once a month to see someone to deal with her urges, in the nearby village. She never warned anyone about her absences, not even her superiors. She just packed her things, walked ten kilometers or so, banged at the door of an old lady who lived alone since her minor husband had died, and she made her into her lover for a night, making her feel small and weak and utterly dominated, until Megan herself was satisfied, usually a little bit before dawn. Then she walked home, nobody the wiser.

But with the announced arrival of her minor partner, she hadn’t dared leave her home. What if she somehow missed a call while away from her duty? She was supposed to remain in place all year long, after all. Sure, she didn’t doubt her boss knew it wasn’t the case – some of the MAJORS and even the one or two other CYCLOS protecting this Preserve often met at the edges of their patrol zones, for more than just talk, most of the time. But most didn’t stay as long as she did, unable to wait that long so close to minors. They moved back to the “real world” after a year or so, bored by the work.

She had held out, knowing that the real prize was not just being with a minor, but the opportunity to be appreciated by one from the start. She was, after all, protecting her friends and family, like a silent angel. She could tell that Audrey was impressed by that, if only a little. But she needed to play it cool, to woo her diminutive little morsel. Once it’d be done, she’d remain here for as long as Audrey would want her, or perhaps convince her to bring her back home in the good old US of A or somewhere else, if they wished for it.

“First thing first” she mumbled, as she dried her fingers on her shorts and put all her clothes back in place, “I need to make sure she’s okay, it was really not a great thing to dump her on the sofa like that, the poor baby!”

She swirled and turned around, opening her front door. She took a good look at her sofa, only to notice the absence of her minor. She hadn’t time to worry however, as she heard her speak aloud, somewhere on the ground. Turning her head, she smiled when she pried her near the door leading to the minor section of her home. She couldn’t help but be impressed by the quickness of the little woman – she had covered far more ground than she had believed possible, even getting out of the sofa should have been hard.

“Is everything okay?” she asked innocently, as the minor swirled around to look at her, gawking.

Gosh, she looks so cute, she mused as she deliberately entered slowly, exaggerating only a little bit the movement of her hips as she walked and closing her door without turning – she’d use the key later, for the moment she just wanted to look at Audrey and drink into the mixture of surprise, arousal and fear that was her mind. She broadcasted her emotions for all to see and it was truly something stunning and intoxicating.

But Megan didn’t really like the fear in it. She wanted it to be replaced by joy or pleasure or adulation. If Audrey wanted to worship her, she could live with that, as long as both knew that being partners meant working together and pleasuring each other – something she had no doubt she’d be able to do with her minuscule minor with ease, considering that her pinky was probably bigger than any toy the poor baby had ever used. But she needed to take her time, to make sure all was okay and consensual.

“Yes!” finally replied the minor woman, who gestured at the door. “Only… why did you hide the door to my apartment?”

“Well… I didn’t want to be able to walk near it too easily” explained Megan, who grinned a little. “I mean, I’m a big girl, so it could be a little dangerous for you, if I could put my feet in front of your door, don’t you think?” she added, tracing the contour of her curves while grinning even more and even winking at the minor.

“I, uh, yeah, woah” replied Audrey, clearly too impressed by her little display to think straight – which made it extremely hard for the CYCLO not to snatch her up and shove her between her big boobies.

“So, hum, just to clear the air… what do you think about admitting our feelings?” asked Megan, who felt her lust returning with a vengeance.

Audrey opened her mouth, left it hanging for several long seconds and closed it again. She was overwhelmed – again – by the sheer presence of Megan. It wasn’t just the size of the giantess, even if of course it could have been enough. It was also the way she moved and stood still, oozing power and confidence in a way that drained the minor of either. And that body of her! It was sculptural, incredibly muscular and yet just as curvy. Even her freckles seemed to add rather than detract from her natural beauty.

“Cat got your tongue?” chuckled the Cyclopean, taking another step forward, even as Audrey remained glued in place.

The giantess shifted her stance. Not by much but she moved her hips a little and puffed out her chest, making her considerable assets seem even more impressive and wobbling – not as much as they should have, according to what Audrey knew of human anatomy but still.

“Minor anatomy” gently corrected the colossal woman. “MAJORS bodies are built differently, and even they are puny and saggy compared to us CYCLOS” chuckled Megan, as she moved again, flexing her huge muscles. “And you LOVE it, don’t you, babe? That I’m that big and muscular, and yet so incredibly feminine, it pleases you to no end, even if you feel a little afraid by it all, right? You should really admit it.”

“I…” croaked Audrey. “I… it’s not very polite to look into someone’s mind.”

It was a particularly weak retort and she knew it. She wanted to assert herself, to make clear to Megan that she wasn’t just a pretty little thing to keep as a pet or worse, a toy. But she couldn’t retort anything better, not when the light of the waning day illuminated the sculptural colossus in front of her, adding an edge to her features. God, she’s perfect, she mused. She’s everything I wished her to be and even more than that. Come on, be brave, tell her. Tell her!

Megan smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. Her canines were truly enormous and her lips turned into a sly grin as she found Audrey’s reaction lovely. The minor woman started to feel her heartbeat going faster and faster. She shouldn’t have been that attracted to the CYCLO, surely? It had to be something she was doing! But what if she was truly attracted to Megan? Could she trust what she felt when it came to her partner?

“Of course you can, babe” purred Megan as she combed her red hair with her fingers, tilting her head and biting her lower lips, even as her torso shifted again to make her breasts look even more massive. “I want us to be honest about our feelings. I want you, Audrey. As a work partner and more. I want you to know it. All of me… it can be yours, babe. If only you admit that you want to be mine, of course…”

“I…” started Audrey, before she bit her lips, not in a seductive way, but because of her nervousness. “If we do that, what will happen? You won’t…  you won’t let me help you for real at work, right? I’ll just be a… a glorified pet or… or a sex toy!”

“No you won’t” proclaimed Megan, her voice dropping an octave or so, as she started to trace the contours of her body. “You’ll be my partner, my lover, my toy. All three of them, depending on what you, and only you, want to be that day, that hour, that second.”

She took a step toward Audrey, her green eyes set on the petite woman, and now the minor was absolutely sure, 100%, that she was exaggerating her gait, only to put an emphasis to her stupendous body. And it worked. Arousal, primal and all-powerful, had washed over Audrey’s mind, pushing away fear and doubt to let her ready to be ravished by the giantess she now lived with. It was such a powerful feeling that she let out a small gasp.

“You know you want it to. After all, you selected me, right? And I know how it works. You saw my profile, decided I was the one you’d feel most pleasure ogling at from the corner and went with it.”

“I… no, I… It wasn’t” stammered Audrey, blushing so much she started to fear she’d start to shine a bright red light. “I… I mean…”

“Tut tut, no lying in my house, little miss” chuckled Megan as she let one of her immense feet land, with a strong thud and enough force to send the minor girl on her ass, gawking even more at her. “Otherwise big old me will have to take a more direct approach.”

As she said it, she licked her lips and it was all Audrey could do not to squeal. She was so aroused and terrified at the same time! She couldn’t tell which emotion was hers and which one was Megan’s, but she didn’t care anymore. Why hadn’t anyone taught her about the Bond and how to properly use it when it came to dealing with MAJORS? Would her bestfriends endure the same sort of treatment outside the limits of their reserve?

Surprisingly, that idea gave her strength. It unlocked a wellspring of anger, and not of the impotent sort. She had aced all the tests to be a part of the Border Patrol. She even had managed to make it further than anything she had expected. She was dealing with a giantess who was clearly infatuated with her but she had been unable to do anything, to be more than a fragile and terrified little thing. Not anymore.

“Stop!” she said, even as she was still on her ass, still looking ridiculously red in the face.

“What?” asked Megan, who seemed amused by her antics, clearly not realizing what had happened yet.

“I said stop. And sit.”

“Oh gosh, you’re adorable but really-”

“Sit. Down” growled Audrey, as she pointed at the ground, and this time, she was the one sending her mind inside the other woman’s.

It was a strange feeling, as if she was wading into a hurricane. The thoughts of Megan were loud, like claps of thunder, her emotions as wild as a rushing river. It was a miracle she could do anything without going completely crazy, realized Audrey. The CYCLO was a bundle of aggression, a constant need to demonstrate her worth and power and, more than anything right now, lust. Trying to connect with that was exhausting.

But the minor went back to that well of anger inside of her, and turned it into cold, hard determination. She didn’t need to beat that hurricane of thoughts. She just needed to harden herself, to turn her mind into a diamond and use it to pierce through the innumerable scenarios of Megan undressing her to use her, pleasure her. She just needed to get her point across. And she did, when she pushed her mind further to its limits.

“Megan. Sit. Down” she ordered again, accentuating every single word to make her point clear.

And with a gasp, the colossal woman did as she was told. Audrey could see the confusion, the arousal and, even the indignation, but she couldn’t go against the small woman’s will. So Megan sat, her muscular rear still looking like a sexy, threatening hill of might as she did so, her whole body, barely covered by her clothes. Her muscles seemed pumped up, as if they tried their best to distract her but Audrey glared at them to force them to stop.

There was now a sudden awkward silence. Audrey didn’t really know how to continue, to let it be clear how she felt and what she wanted from this work – and this potential relationship. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and, she realized with some surprise, that her mind was fully her own again. She was inside Megan’s, however. But it was a one way street, she could feel what Megan felt and not the other way around.

“Look” she started, looking up and up – past the glorious mounds on the CYCLO’s chest. “I get it, you find me attractive, and that’s… that’s very flattering. Like, a lot, because you’re… you!” she tried to explain, gesturing toward the massive body in front of her.

“But?” almost meekly asked Megan.

“But I’m not some weak pet… some… some mouse for you to caress or play with. I know it’s mostly my fault because I was so overwhelmed when I met you and, frankly, I’m still kind of am, by your sheer presence and all. And the fact that you know so much more about the Bond than I do, which is really unnerving – and a little angering toward my teachers and the authorities, doesn’t help.”

“So… if I treat you more like… I don’t know, almost an equal, it’d be better for you?

“As an equal!” shouted Audrey, stomping her foot, which elicited a great laughter from the CYCLO.

“I don’t want to demean you, cutie pie, but we aren’t equals. I’m a MAJOR, a CYCLO even, you’re a minor, and, well, it shows” she explained, gesturing to herself. “I’m huge, even for my kind, and you, well, you’re what, average for a minor? Perhaps even a little smaller than that, I think. Not that it doesn’t suit you, mind. You’re really fucking hot, at least to me!”

Audrey opened her mouth and then closed it. It was strange to feel insulted and praised at the same time. The giantess was absolutely immense compared to her, each of her arms probably weighing several times her weight. She wanted to be taken seriously by the red-headed colossus but she’d have to earn it, she realized, and she really had started it terribly. How could Megan consider her worthy to be truly acknowledged as a person if she acted constantly like a terrified little girl?

“Come on, you’ve made your point, now come here so we can cuddle, Audrey” cooed the CYCLO, proving Audrey’s thoughts right.

“I… no!” she cried out. “Listen to me, damn it!”

Audrey winced. She hadn’t intended to shriek like she had, but when she noticed how shocked Megan was now, suddenly, she wondered if she hadn’t inadvertently done the right thing. The giantess’ eyes were wide open and she had one hand over her mouth. She wasn’t teary eyed – Audrey suspected that MAJORS weren’t really able to be moved to tears that easily. But still, it was clear she had surprised her enough to act.

“I’m going to my room now” she stated as she approached the minor-sized door in the wall.

She expected Megan to stop her – she just had to basically extend a hand and catch her and there would have been nothing the petite minor woman could have done to stop her – she even doubted that her mind would have been able to push her away now. It was exhausting to use the Bond like she was now doing, possibly because it was a “muscle” she had almost never used, and certainly not like that.

“So… I’m not your type?” asked Megan weakly as she opened the door.

“Lady, if I could, I’d probably spend my time in your panties. But I have to earn it, not because you’d take any minor for a tour down there.”

“I don’t see why it’s a problem” whined the Cyclo, who was blushing now. “You could spend your time in them for free and you’d know you’d have exclusivity that way” she added with a smile – a very enticing one.

“Sorry Megan, but you’re not the one asking me to earn it. It’s me who does, and I want to prove to myself I’m a capable Border Guard!”

Audrey closed the door and she smiled as she heard the giantess growl in a very unhappy way. Perhaps she’d be able to turn the situation around. She just needed to remind herself – and Megan – that she had a hand to play in their whole new relations, both professional and personal. She only needed to play hard to get and perhaps she’d teach Megan – and herself – that she was worth it and not just some easily impressed girl.

“We’ll see soon, I guess” she mused.

Megan was absolutely furious with herself. Not with Audrey, her minor babe was right to fight for what she believed in. Being hard to catch only enhanced her in the CYCLO’s eyes. But it was already three months now and she didn’t feel as if she had managed to make any real advance. By that point in time, she was certain that she wouldn’t ever feel the need to jump the wall to deal with her sex-drive anymore.

“I was supposed to get a cute, sexy little minor, making me live my wildest fantasies” she sighed, as she absent-mindedly pushed an enormous boulder out of the way. 

She came almost daily to this part of the forest, to the point that the path she always followed had become a well-trodden way into the dense underbrush of the region. Sometimes, before getting to live with Audrey, she enjoyed the way some branches were always snapped near her ass or torso’s height, a proof of her physical power. Some trees had even started to grow distorted to avoid her body!

Nowadays, all of it felt pointless, useless shows of force that proved nothing. Even more than before, if she was being honest. Somehow, living with a minor, and failing to entice her in a Bond she had the upper hand in was worse than being lonely here. Before, when she had an urge and that all was calm, she could just play with herself as roughly and loudly as she wanted.

“Can’t do that now, I’d frighten Audrey” she grumbled.

It was absolutely unfair. Why hadn’t anyone truly told her how difficult it was to live with a minor from the Preserve? The little dudes and dudettes were supposed to be meek, subservient, and more often than not, ready to do anything for their bigger Bondmates. And they never - NEVER - used the power of the Bond on MAJORS, it was always the other way around!

“Fuck me sideways, I guess. Should have continued to prowl Kansas City’s bars and underground club, could have snagged some little gal there who was more compliant to my needs!”

She was unfair, she knew it, but it still felt good to blow a gasket here, in the loneliness of the forest, with small brown bears scurrying away from her, apart from the occasional mother and her cub who needed a good roar in the face to be reminded of who was boss. Perhaps she should have taken a sport in one of the African Preserves, it would have been fun to wrestle elephants. Probably.

“Audrey to Megan. I noticed something strange on the scanner. Is it normal that some parts of it are blurry?”

“What? Blurry how?”

Audrey’s voice had brought back Megan’s mind to the situation at hand. She had been patrolling, and she was far from the house. Far enough that she’d need at least a dozen minutes or so to reach it, with her usual jogging speed. A third of that at full speed. It still felt too slow for her, now that she was facing something that had never happened before. But she couldn’t just dash for Audrey.

“I don’t know it’s just… wait, I have a signal! Intruder near you, one kilometer away, north-west.. Seems to be alone. He… he seems to be going straight at you? How’s that possible?”

Megan wasn’t sure the last few words were for her. It seemed Audrey was talking to herself. Megan almost answered, to tell her it wasn’t a problem. If someone was about to stumble on her, she’d make that person regret it really fast. Still, she decided to not wait without moving. She was a predator, not a fucking prey! She’d get a rush from kicking in some teeth and get back to her minor and finally convince her to fuck!

“Shit! He is honing on you!” called Audrey as she was starting to rush toward the wall of the Preserve. “He… he’s correcting his course to rush right on you. I don’t like it, Megan. Please, be careful!”

“Yeah, don’t worry, babe” growled the CYCLO with a grin. “I’ll be home in a few! How long before contact”

“Right about now!”

And as the last syllable came out, an opponent Megan had not expected barreled toward her. Another CYCLO. Not as massive as she was, he couldn’t have been over 7m30 top. But that was a guy, and he looked strong, with a grim expression on his face. He was here for business, and for once the giantess would have to face off with someone that could take a punch and send some back her way.

“Come and get some, fucker!” she roared as she altered her speed, no more rushing and instead adopting the pace of an experienced brawler.

The other CYCLO didn’t even bother to answer her, and it somehow unnerved her, but Megan hadn’t the time to focus on it. The bastard was coming in, and threw a nasty punch that she had to dodge. Mercifully, she had more reach than him, and she was heavier, so she could avoid his punch and give some of hers. The man grunted in pain when her right fist connected with her left jaw.

Sadly, it wasn’t made of glass and he continued to fight. The two giants exchanged rapid blows, so powerful that when one connected with a tree, the poor thing simply cracked open or even fell to the ground, uprooted. In less than five seconds, Megan had realized it was more than just some young dumb teenager trying to prove something. That man wanted to kill her, it was obvious.

Fine by me, she thought. He wouldn’t be the first asshole trying to finish her. Back home, she had dealt with three MAJORS that had tried to gut her when she was a teenager. It hadn’t been clean, no fight with MAJORS was, and she hadn’t finished growing back then. But she had won, three to one, and somehow it had served her right in her career - the assholes threatened a minor man, that day, after all.

That man however, was not some drunkard bully, who somehow failed to achieve anything in life and took it against those perceived to be weaker than him. No, he was a trained killer, she was sure. Megan grinned. She was too. The Matthewson foundation had strict programs for the members of the Outer Border Patrols of their Preserve. They needed to be strong, able to take down a CYCLO even if they were just a MAJOR.

And they needed to be trained to do that fast, without remorse and still able to fight afterward, if need be. It was a secret of course. The family that had all waged on preserving the minors, making their population grow worldwide while ensuring enough came to mingle with their superior cousins that enough Bondmates could be found had to look pristine - even if nobody believed they were.

The fight was starting to drag on. Her opponent was cautious now, and Megan herself had to make sure she wasn’t exposing her weak spots to a low blow or something of the sort. She also had to capture that man alive. He was too well trained to be allowed to die here, she’d have to make sure the Foundation got him in their nets. Out of sight, out of mind, but in a whole lot of pain, she was sure of it.

“Fuck! There is someone here!” gasped Audrey in her earpiece and Megan fumbled her steps, allowing her opponent to land a monstrously powerful blow right on her left temple.

She stumbled backward and protected herself as best she could. She was hearing the swearing voice of Audrey, but she couldn’t focus on that right now. She needed to regain her focus, and to land some serious blow. Then she’d be able to help her minor. Then she finally understood what her partner had just said. They were attacking her home! THey were threatening Audrey!

“Your little fucktoy will croak soon, bitch” growled the man, the first words he had said since they had started fighting.

They were not the right words to use. Megan’s vision turned red. She didn’t bother to limit her strength anymore. She didn’t care if she ended up killing the son of a bitch in front of her. She’d demolish him and rush back to her house, no matter what state she’d be after the fight, and that would be it. She had to protect Audrey, there was no other option. She couldn’t let anyone even threaten her minor!

She took five nasty punches in her torso and guts and she even felt one of her ribs crack dangerously. A flare of pain like she had never experienced rushed in her body, but it only made her stronger, fiercer and more determined to end it. She gritted her teeth hard enough that her jaw hurt and took one final punch in the left shoulder. But her opponent had overextended himself.

Megan punched from the hips up. Her fist connected with the elbow of the extended arm and shattered it, with the rest of the bones following suit. The other CYCLO roared in pain. He wanted to disengage, realizing now that he wasn’t up to the task to deal with her. He was good, but she was better. Way better. And she was ready to follow up. A lock kick in the groin was rewarded by a shrill scream, extremely satisfying.

She punched, again. This time, it was his right shoulder that broke, and yet the man was still conscious. And now, with a vicious snarl, he realized he had nothing to lose. His left fist collided hard with Megan’s right knee, shattering it. She was the one howling now, but even then, she managed to grasp the bastard and headbutted him. Hard. Really hard. Again and again, until he crumpled on the ground, unconscious.

He was still alive but just. She immobilized him by breaking his feet and tying up with a special rope, made to be able to not break even when a CYCLO tried to destroy it. It was perhaps superfluous in that case, but she still used it. Better safe than sorry. Only when she was sure he couldn’t get up and flee again did she rise to her full height - and almost dropped to the ground herself.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” she screamed, enraged.

Her knee was hurting so bad. Standing up was hard. Walking would be hell on Earth. Running was out of the question. Tears formed in her eyes. She needed to rush back to Audrey. She needed to help her, in any way she could. She had to, she wouldn’t be able to live if something, anything, happened to her minor partner. How could she pretend to be a defender of minorkind if she faltered now?

“Audrey, do you copy?” she asked in the communication device, but only silence answered her.

Audrey was doing her best to silence her mind. She was happy to have worked on that for the last few weeks - and Megan’s constant whining that she now had a hard time to know what she was thinking had been proof she was managing it. Sometimes. And now, she couldn’t afford to fail at it. Not with a MAJOR intruder in the house, an emotionless monster that seemed ready to destroy her.

Everything had happened so fast that Audrey was somewhat confused. One moment she had some sort of glitches on the map she used to coordinate with Megan. The next, someone was trying to bring down the door, seemingly by hitting it. And Audrey had no doubt it would break open in seconds, so she hadn’t wasted any time remaining frozen in place.

She was in a fight or flight situation, but flight wasn’t an option, sadly. Whoever was on the other side of that door was standing between her and the only way out of the house she knew off. And hiding out while that intruder pilfered the place she had come to learn to like was out of the question. She would be found or - perhaps worse - she’d be killed by the man outside without him even realizing it.

Mercifully, he probably wasn’t a CYCLO. She was hearing him grunt and groan as the door creaked more and more. A bigger kind of MAJOR probably would have broken that humongous slab of wood in a second, so it was a kind of relief that he hadn’t. A bitter one, but relief nonetheless. It allowed her Border Patrol training to kick in, and she fished in her locker with her weapon.

It was something that had been drilled into her during her training at school. MAJORS were too powerful, too fast and resilient to be taken down in a fair fight by minors. And they obviously didn’t want minors to use the Bond of them, since they taught almost nothing about it in the Preserve, while it seemed to be the best tool at the disposal of the diminutive kind of humans to defend themselves.

But the Border Patrol had been granted weapons to deal with that - in theory at least. She weighed the large rifle and the far smaller gun she now had to use. She was nervous, and she felt trepidations in her guts. SHe had never fired on someone - or even something alive - before. But she couldn’t afford to waste more time. With a deafening tearing sound, the door finally gave in and clanged on the floor.

“Shit!” she muttered as the echo rang and the intruder finally was in.

“Come on out” he growled, his voice deep, powerful and yet far less powerful than Megan’s - he had to be smaller. “Little ape, I’ll do you quick, even if it’s more than you deserve, genetic reject.”

She shivered but didn’t answer. She had what it took to win this fight, she tried to persuade herself. The rifle was supposedly powerful enough to kill a MAJOR if she aimed for the head. The gun was non-lethal, but it contain synthetic venom able to shut down an elephant in seconds - and a MAJOR in thrice that time. If what she had been said was true and not just some propaganda for the Inner Border Patrol force…

Only one way to know if it’s true, she mused as she started to move around in her section of the house. She was hearing the invader cursing and screaming around, trashing everything. it angered her to a surprising amount. She had barely spent three months of her life here, and that place - and its occupant - had basically destroyed everything she had assumed to be true to her life.

The minors in the Preserve weren’t really autonomous, they were enclosed for their safety, to ensure a steady supply of small companions and toys to the larger kind of humans out there. They weren’t pushed to move around and to aspire to see the outside of their small little world, because it was a one way trip. Once you left you never came back. And to make all of it palatable, the Border Patrol was here, a glorified charade.

Well it changed now, she decided. She’d prove to the MAJORS, hell even to the CYCLOS out there that she could hold her own. That she could do what needed to be done and protect her people. She’d show them that minors weren’t harmless or weak! That they could walk the Earth with their head held high. She’d show them all by defeating the man attacking this place, all by herself.

At least it’s what she had planned before the MAJOR punched the wall separating the section of the house made for Megan and hers. THat wall was supposed to be sturdy, able to withstand the power of the CYCLO after all. But Megan was also probably not supposed to try and destroy it in a fit of rage. So when she saw a large punch breaking through the wall, with shrapnel-like fragments of rocks flying, Audrey couldn’t help but scream.

“There you are, you little bitch!” laughed the MAJOR ominously, as he started to enlarge the hole he made in the wall.

It was absolutely terrifying, to the point that the minor girl was frozen solid for a good ten seconds. A wall made of rock was being pulverized before her very eyes, as if it was a sand castle. The hands of the MAJORS, so much smaller than Megan’s were, were destroying it with such ease that it seemed an almost trivial matter for him to do so. Audrey almost dropped the weapons.

“Don’t you move, I’ll show you what I can do to you. I bet you’ll be screaming something real good when I’ll be finished with you” he growled.

Audrey shivered but his words finally broke the spell on her and she drew the pistol. The rifle seemed too powerful to try and use it now. With its recoil, who knew what could happen to her if she shot hastily. She let out of her breath as she aimed at the hands on the intruder. They were covered by gloves but she hoped that it wouldn’t prevent the gun from working. She pressed the trigger three times.

The MAJOR let out a small but very satisfying yelp of pain and his hands retreated. Audrey counted the seconds, as her heartbeat thundered in her ears. With some luck it had been enough and she’d soon hear the intruder going down on the floor. Then she’d try to call for help and the whole ordeal would be over. She let out a sigh of relief, as she realized she was out of danger.

And then half of the wall in front of her cracked.

“You despicable little shit! I will break every bone in your pathetic body! I’ll teach you to respect your betters!” 

He was truly furious now and by the sound of it, he was using a sledgehammer. Audrey realized that the wall wouldn’t last much longer. Two, perhaps three strikes and it’d come tumbling down. Toward her. She wanted to try and use the Bond to force that brute from moving, from doing anything, just like she had forced Megan to sit, all those weeks ago, but the wellspring of anger that she had tapped into that day wasn’t there.

All she could feel was pure, unadulterated terror. It prevented her from finding the strength to send her mind into that of that unknown MAJOR. But it wasn’t enough to prevent her from acting altogether, mercifully. Even as she had realized she couldn’t count on the gun, her hands had been working, almost of their own, and she had finished preparing the rifle before she could even realize it.

She wouldn’t have a second chance. That thing was unwieldy, and took time to reload. Time she wouldn’t have. She needed to focus, to ignore the danger, the fear and even the incoming and increasing chance of death. She had to believe the rifle would work if she aimed properly. Her hands, her whole body were shaking now, but the minor girl pushed that away.

“Come and get some, you huge bastard!” 

She believed for a moment that it was Megan, come to the rescue, but it was only when she heard the MAJOR laugh that she realized she had been the one screaming that. She gritted her teeth and took the best position she could to be able to aim and shoot at her target. Now, all she had to do was to wait for the wall to come down, and to hope that no boulder would fly toward her.

The third hit from the sledgehammer came and as expected the wall came down. Cracks and fissures formed all over it and around the point already weakened by the MAJORS punches earlier. Then, as if time had slowed down, the wall truly came undone, like an avalanche of paint, rock and mortar, barreling toward her. But Audrey didn’t flinch. She would have one chance, only one and she couldn’t waste it.

“There you are!” thundered the voice of the MAJOR.

She didn’t take the time to truly look at her. She didn’t even try to see if he wore a helmet. She simply aimed for the forehead of the brute and she pressed the trigger. The recoil slammed against her shoulder and she gritted her teeth and ignored the pain. The massive silhouette, still quite small compared to Megan slumped on the ground wordlessly. Audrey's breath accelerated.

Even then, she waited for the man to get up. The gun had been so useless that the rifle probably couldn’t have felled him, right? Audrey felt a strange trepidation in her stomach, but she got up from her crouching position and walked toward the destroyed wall. She had to carefully step around the rocks, some of which were so cleanly broken that they looked able to slice her shoes if she tried to walk on them.

She dared to look over the edge to see what had become of the invader, and immediately regretted it. Her stomach churned and she keeled over, almost falling off the edge, as she emptied it. She was still crying when Megan finally came back.

“Oh shit. No… Audrey…” whispered the giantess as she gently picked her up and positioned her against the top of her breasts, face pressed on her shoulder blade. “Sleep” the minor girl heard. “Sleep and forget what you saw down there.”

And she did as she was told.

“How is she?”

“And a good day to you, Megan” said the man sitting in the small - for the CYCLO - chair in her hospital room.

“Yeah, yeah, good day and all that shit. How is she?” repeated the giantess, almost growling now.

The MAJOR in the chair sighed. It wasn’t the first time the two of them had had some conflicts, when dealing with each other. As a representative of the Outside Control of the local Preserve of minors, he was technically her superior, but Megan hadn’t ever really cared about it. As far as she was concerned, Outside Control was a bunch of useless idiots unable to stop anyone from jumping the walls. As the recent events had proven.

“Look, you know I can’t tell you that Megan.”

“Cut the crap, Marc. She’s my partner!” spat the giantess, pushing herself more upright in her hospital bed.

“Yes. But she isn’t your Bondmate” he shot back, sternly, and Megan winced.

He was right, but it didn’t make it acceptable to hear. In the three months spent together, she hadn’t been able to woo Audrey. The minor girl - no, woman, she had to correct herself - had proven to be far more wilful than she had expected. And Megan hadn’t dared to try and push things too fast, she had been willing to play the long game, for once. And it had blown up in her face - or her knee, rather.

“So” prudently started Marc, clearly trying to bring the conversation to another topic. “I’ve seen the results of your medical exams. Things are… a little complicated here, but hopefully you’ll be able to get back to your post in a few weeks, nothing more than three, apparently.”

“If I don’t get out of this fucking bed for days!” she almost yelled. “The fucking nurses don’t want to let me get up alone to take a leak, for fuck sake!”

“What a flowery language” sighed Marc.

“Fuck you.”

“I’d like that, to be honest, more than you I think” he replied, beaming her an impudent grin that made Megan’s blood boil even more. “But honestly. Do you want to return to your post? You know the policy of the Foundation. We can find you some other role now, something more to your liking? Something more lively? You’ve done more than your fair share of work in the Preserve. Perhaps it’s time to find something else for you?”

Megan didn’t answer immediately, for once. She closed her eyes and leant back in her hospital bed. He was right, in theory now she could expect some extremely well-paid jobs elsewhere in the Matthewson’s tentacular business empire. Once her knee would be healed, she could move anywhere she wanted, including returning to the US to live in a wealthier environment than ever before.

“Where is Audrey, and how is she? I can’t make a choice like that without knowing that. Don’t.” she added as she saw Marc shake his head before answering. “I swear to God, don’t give me the bullshit answer that you can’t tell me. I have to know, Marc. Please.”

She hated to have to plead with him, just to know if her partner was safe. What she had done in the house - what she had been forced to do because the whole system had failed her - weighed heavily on the CYCLO’s mind. Even she had wasted too much time and got hurt too bad to help Audrey as she should have. She was guilty and it gnawed at her like nothing had ever done before.If only she hadn’t broken her communication device during her fight…

“She’s in the hospital. In the Preserve, you know we can’t take her out of there, not without preventing her from returning here if she wants to. It’s already a miracle she isn’t Bonded to you, if you ask me.”

“If she was Bonded, she’d be here with me” frowned Megan, who didn’t like the words she was hearing one bit.

“Yes, and that’d be a problem. You know that minor population worldwide is growing back, it’s on track to reaching a perfectly viable level in the next two decades, and it means we’ll be able to relax some of the rules currently in place to protect them. But we’re not there yet. She may be a lesbian, but you never know what can happen, she could turn out to be bi or just want a child and a minor father/donor would be far more favourable to the Foundation than you.”

“Well, thanks for being such a blunt asshole about it” she mumbled.

“Always a pleasure to bring you down to Earth a little, Megan” smirked Marc.

“Yeah, well, it’s my turn now. Who were those fuckers and how did they manage to cause such a massive fuckup?”

“Urgh. You don’t know the half of it…” grumbled the MAJOR man. “Those fuckers are part of a resurgent MAJOR-supremacist movement, basically. They planned an attack on the French Preserve because it’s relatively small and they expected to be able to wreak havoc and slaughter the people inside easily. Sons of bitches. They almost succeeded…”

“What!?”

To say that she was now shocked was an understatement. She had realized that the people invading this time weren’t some teenage idiots hoping to get a small pet/sex friend with a Bond. But what Marc was saying sounded far worse than what she had gathered. She needed to know what had really happened. How bad was it now? Was the Foundation on the backfoot, for the first time ever?

“Yeah. It was a concerted attack, over two dozen bastards. Mercifully, only one CYCLO, went for your sector. Seems they had a hacker on their side that allowed them to pinpoint where they needed to go. Most of them were stopped in the Outer Border portion of the Preserve, but three of the invaders reached the Inner Border zone.”

“Fuck! How did you stop them then? Did you allow the MAJORS on our side to go deeper inside?” 

“We didn’t” gloomy replied Marcn who raised his hands to stop her reaction before she could voice it. “Was above my paygrade, I wanted them to go, but it was a no. Inner Patrol forces dealt with them.”

“You’ve let minors confront MAJORS out for their blood!?”

Megan wasn’t just shocked, she was aghast. Minors couldn’t be put in harm ways like that! It was the whole point of the Preserve system to begin with. To take enough of them out of the reach of their superior brethren that they’d be allowed to flourish in isolation, protected from the dangers of the world. And now, they had failed them, she had failed them, so bad she couldn’t think about a way to make this up.

“We didn’t have much of a choice. Higher ups trusted them to deal with it with minimum casualties. Turns out, they were right. The minor patrols managed to suppress them. Three dead MAJORS, only six minors injured.”

“What? How?”

“They shot to kill” grimly replied Marc. “But I’ve heard that all those patrollers have resigned. They were trained enough to know they had to shoot to kill, but being trained and doing it is a whole other beast.”

“Talk me about it.That’s why I want to make sure Audrey is fine” explained Megan. “It’s really important to me. Come on, Marc, give me something!”

“Fine, fine! If you keep pestering me like that, I guess I may as well tell you just to shut you up a little. She’s fine, no physical injuries and even mentally she seems… The doctors are surprised that she is as fine as she is. She doesn’t remember what happened after the MAJOR invader destroyed the wall of your house. Which is actually really suspicious, but well, traumas can have that sort of effect, I guess.”

“Yeah… she was unresponsive when I found her,” lied Megan. “I’m glad to hear she’s doing fine, regarding the circumstances. You’ll… you’ll keep me updated on her, Marc? If she doesn’t want to return to the Border Patrol, well, I think I’d like to move somewhere else.”

“And if she wants to return to the edge of her little world?”

“Then I’ll stay and be there for her. Even if she needs to be bred by some minor dude instead of using my genes to do that” huffed Megan with a cocky grin now.

“Yeah, well, you’ll never be considered an option for that” chuckled Marc as he got up and left. “We want the minor mother to survive giving birth, you know?”

“Fuck you Marc!” she called after her, but she was smiling a little now.

The giantess felt a little better and picked up her phone. Nurses didn’t like it very much, but she would die before she tried to watch the news on the room’s TV. Privilege of being a CYCLO was definitely that even the most nagging of nurses didn’t dare talk back to her too much. She absentmindedly scrolled her socials, until a sudden notification from an unknown sender came. Just a text.

“Hey, Megan. It’s Audrey. I know it’s strange that we never exchanged numbers before but I’ve heard you’re also in the hospital and I wanted to make sure you’re okay? Central Command gave me your number. I’m not allowed to call here in the hospital, but I’ll be back home in two days, so if you’re okay, could we chat then?”

“I’d love that” replied Megan instantly. “Love ya, babe” she added after a second of hesitation.

She waited for at least a minute or two before an answer came, and she swooned in her bed, squirming with joy and almost forgetting all that had happened recently.

“Love you too, big girl.”

Audrey fidgeted in her bed. She had done it. She had sent that message, knowing full well that Megan would understand her meaning. She simply couldn’t deny her feelings any longer. It wasn’t just a matter of sexual preference or carnal attraction. In the three months they had spent together, the minor had seen her towering CYCLO partner try to woo her correctly.

The operative word was, obviously, try. Megan was a MAJOR, and so huge that she was at the top of their size-hierarchy. Even among the mighty CYCLOS, she stood almost a breed apart - even if, mercifully, from what Audrey had researched during those three months, none of her kind ever exceeded 9 meters tall and new generations seemed to plateau or even shrink a little.

Still, as she sat in her own bed, being back at her parent’s home, she couldn’t help but blush. It was so strange! Megan wasn’t her first flirt, she had had a girlfriend a year or so ago, for instance. But it had been between two equals, and Julie hadn’t been exactly a bombshell, looking more like Audrey herself, lithe, almost flat and yet beautiful and gentle. A far cry from the sensual colossus that was Megan.

She sighed. It was so different from everything she had ever known! Megan wasn’t her equal, she couldn’t pretend that anymore. She was just so much more powerful and intelligent and smart and… Audrey groaned as she stopped that train of thought. It was so frustrating. In the giantess’ house, she had accessed the real Internet, not the one which had turned out to be extremely limited in its reach in the Preserve.

“Why must it be so?” she asked no one, almost sad now.

It had been disheartening to discover how much MAJORS were simply better than minors; They weren’t just taller and far stronger than they looked. Their brains were far more efficients, their reflexes insanely quick and of course they lived up to two hundred years with ease. And that was discounting the freak mutations like the futas and the CYCLOS that formed now a significant portion of their society.

Compared to them, even if minors had regained rights as individuals and a part of society, they were second class citizens. Not by virtue of some policies reserving the best jobs for MAJORS. But simply because MAJORS could do everything a minor could do with far more ease and speed. Why would anyone offer a job to a minor when someone from the other kind of humans would simply do far more than a minor in the same given time.

Only some peculiar minors owned their own businesses, often some form of garages or other artisanal shops. Their clientele seemed to consist mostly of MAJORS, as the overwhelming majority of minors didn’t even own a car or something worth repairing and maintaining over years or decades. And she had read more than a few news, on specialized minor websites, about those owners closing shop when they ended as the Significant Other of some MAJOR that had Bonded them.

The sudden shrill of her phone startled her and she almost jumped out of bed. Megan was calling her, as they had promised they should do. But Audrey didn’t feel ready. She hadn’t even put up a good set of clothes, just a loose t-shirt and a short covering half her calves and nothing more. And of course, make-up wasn’t even an option, she never wore some to begin with.

“Hey babe! How are you?” beamed Megan, as soon as the minor girl had answered the video call. “Look super fine today” the CYCLO added, almost drooling it seemed.

“Eek!” squeaked Audrey as she released the angle she held her phone perhaps revealed a tad too much and she moved it so the camera angle would only show her face. “H-hi Megan!”

“Well, that was something I didn’t expect to hear today, the little scream, babe” laughed the Cyclopean. “How are you doing? Are you alright? Nothing troubling you?”

“No, I’m totally fine. I…  I don’t remember what happened to the MAJOR that invaded your house, but other than that, I honestly feel better than ever. As if something bad had been lifted off me, so to speak. And you? I heard you were badly injured!”

“Oh… Yeah, I got some bad bruises, nothing that will prevent me from returning to work in a few weeks, if I’m careful with the healing process. But, uh… speaking about your memory it’s… it’s my fault”, she admitted. 

“What do you mean?” asked the minor woman, quite puzzled.

“Well, when I… when I got home, you were a sobbing mess and, uh… I didn’t plan to do anything to you, I swear! It’s just that you were so sad and traumatized and… and I think I kind of lost my marble. I wanted you to go to sleep and not get bad dreams so I used the Bond and… and well, I ordered you to sleep and forget what had happened… but I never believed it’d be permanent, I swear!”

Long seconds of silence elapsed. Audrey didn’t really know how to answer to, well, that. Was she angry at Megan? Kind of a little. But she was also relieved, somehow? As if she knew a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. And the CYCLO showed genuine remorse, seemingly, something she hadn’t really come to expect from MAJORS, to be honest. Perhaps she could forgive, for this time? 

“No need to worry about it now, we, uh, we can see each other really soon to talk about it all, face to face and, uh, make sure it doesn’t happen again. If you want to, of course!” added Megan.

The last few words had been said almost too fast for Audrey to catch them, but when she did, she found herself somewhat puzzled. Why wouldn’t she want to return to the Outer Border? It was all she was good at. She didn’t know if she could work at a normal, basic job in the inner portion of the Preserve now that she knew how small and limited her world was. She still didn’t want to leave it, of course, but still, she felt she couldn’t return to her previous life.

Perhaps, if she had been in the Inner Border Patrol, things would have been different, like the guys who had resigned, if what she had heard off was true. As it was, she wanted to be able to return to her little town, to go to a bar with friends and joke about everything, to continue chatting with her two best friends who had moved abroad like she did in her free time and remain linked to the world she knew.

“Audrey? Earth to Audrey?” 

“Oh, sorry!” she blurted, when she realized that Megan had been talking while her mind had wandered elsewhere. “What were you asking me?”

“Hum, well” started the giantess, who was suddenly blushing quite exquisitely. “I was asking you if you wanted to resume your partnership with me, or if those events had perhaps given you some other, uh… some other viewpoint of your future? You know, I don’t want to look like I’m forcing you to do anything you wouldn’t want to do.”

“Oh! Well, uh… I… I’d really like to… to resume our partnership, yeah. And… and perhaps we could, uh… we could deepen it?”

Audrey’s face felt so hot she probably looked more like a tomato than anything else, but it didn’t seem that Megan cared. In fact, she could hear the CYCLO’s breathing becoming louder and quicker and her pupils seemed to have dilated quite a lot, all signs that she was liking what she had just heard. The minor girl wondered if she wasn’t too forward, but the recent events had made her realize she had only one life.

Perhaps she wouldn’t grow old with Megan - in fact, it seemed a little fucked up to grow old with someone who wouldn’t even started getting a crowfoot on her face until Audrey herself was in the ground for quite some years, if not a decade or two. Perhaps she would. It didn’t matter, what was important was that she wanted to experience what it was to be with a MAJOR, especially one as enormous as Megan. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her, and the reason she had accepted to join the Outer Border, if she was honest with herself.

“I’d love to deepen it, yeah” dreamily said Megan, who had tilted her phone and beamed her one of her heart-stopping smiles. “I’d love to do all kinds of things with you, Audrey. I know I came off as really pushy and perhaps unnerving to you. But I want to be with you, to make you happy. And of course, I want us to Bond.”

“Why is it so important to you? That we Bond, I mean?”

“I grew up learning about all the things it gives us MAJORS. We become calmer, we can focus on things without being distracted by the shows of dominance of others. Once the Bonding process is firmly in place, of course. Before that, outside of the Preserve, it can become… rowdy. But I’ve heard it’s so incredible, like two minds becoming one, each one opening its inner secrets to the other. I… I find it really romantic, like a soulmate, if you will. Oh gosh, I feel like such a dork saying it, but it’s true!”

“I wouldn’t have taken you for a romantic woman” chuckled Audrey. “You look and act far more like some seriously experienced and lustful woman, if you know what I mean.”

“Hey! It’s standard behaviour for MAJORS, especially when interacting with minors, I’ll have you know! I’m not a nympho, if that’s what you want to say!”

The two of them chuckled at that and they continued chatting for nearly an hour and a half. It was surprising. Audrey had never talked so long with someone via her phone. Even with Anna and Marie now, she didn’t spend as long talking. Her friends were Bonded, they had found a MAJOR almost as soon as they had come out of the plane. It had been unnerving, as if Audrey could see them drifting away from her, as her place in their lives shrunk.

Now, she understood what they felt, and it was thanks to Megan. The giantess was calming a longing in her that she hadn’t ever truly admitted existed. She wanted to see the world, but dreaded living her life behind. She had been torn up between those two desires. Megan had allowed her to appease them. She was the World out there, accessible to her in a safe way. A way she could get her head around and not feel terrified and taken away from those she loved.

“Hey, Audrey. Are you sure you won’t get bored with me out there? Perhaps you should take the time to think about it all while I heal in the hospital? I mean, for the foreseeable future I want to stay here, but if I want to move somewhere else in a decade or so, perhaps it’d be best if you had a backup plan or something like that?”

“Well, a MAJOR thinking ahead? The end of the world is coming” snickered the minor woman, which elicited a grunt from her friend. “But I’ll hear you out. Anyway, I can’t see where I’ll be in two years, let alone ten, you know? Anyway, I need to go, my mom asked me to help cook the family’s lunch. See you soon, big girl!”

“See you soon, babe.”

Megan looked around her house. Two weeks and three days after she had been admitted to the hospital, she was finally perfectly healed, was back here and - thanks to Marc’s tips - knew that outside protection of the Preserve had been so bolstered that for the next few days, no one would be able to breach it. She had an opportunity to have some alone time with Audrey, and she needed her home to be ready for that.

There remained almost no trace of the invader’s ravages. The wall separating the CYCLO and minor section of the building had been repaired and the broken furniture replaced. Outside of the fresh coat of paint and the pristine new stuff she now owned, it almost seemed as if nothing had happened. Even the floor had been scrubbed clean and the blood - and worse - that had been here was just past memory.

She was nervous. How strange it was to experience that. She had never been nervous. She was dominant, she was strong, she was in the lead and she always got what she wanted, when it came to a relationship. And if she needed to punch people in the face to get what she wanted, she did so with tremendous ease and even a form of pride. She was a typical MAJOR in that. And she was now fidgeting, worried that Audrey would be put off by her eagerness.

She needed tenderness. She needed gentleness and care, and it didn’t come to her easily. Arousal, lust, desire, the urge to be with Audrey? All of that was as natural as breathing. But she had to admit that it wasn’t sufficient. She needed to be better if she wanted Audrey to see her as more than a fling, an opportunity to test the water with a CYCLO before returning to her little pond of little people to hang out and bang with.

“I’m here!” shouted a little voice and Megan swirled around.

There she was indeed, looking even prettier than before. She looked calmer than she had ever been before, and her small, lithe and beautiful body made the giantess’ heart flutter. Audrey stood by the open door, looking at her with a somewhat confused smile. It was almost as if she expected something from Megan and was surprised that it hadn’t happened the moment she had made her presence known.

“Are you okay Megan? Not even a drooling babe to meet me? Are you sure you didn’t get out of the hospital too earlyyyyyy hey!”

The last word had been stretched into an exclamation as, instead of answering the question of her diminutive visitor, Megan had crossed the six or so meters between them with two large strides, snooped her from the ground and then silenced her with a kiss on the lips, her tongue trying to pry open those delicious little lips, her mind pushing in, to let her know how relieved she was to see her again, how she wanted her, how she needed to be with her, now, so they could explore each other bodies.

It was a little pathetic, even she had to admit it, how easily she had folded, how entirely she had been unable to control herself the moment her eyes had fallen on Audrey. So, when those soft little lips opened and a minuscule tongue tentatively touched hers, when she was allowed in into that mind, the CYCLO ginger felt tears streaming down her cheeks, as if something terrible had finally been lifted from her.

“Wow… you’re down bad for me, aren’t you?” asked Audrey when the giantess finally broke their kiss. “I… I hadn’t realized how deep it was. How can you even function with… with all of that?”

“I don’t know” almost meekly replied Megan, a shy smile on her face. “I guess I didn’t, really, until now. You’re so soothing… I don’t… I never knew the Bond, the real Bond, could be so good! So… perfect! And you.. you’re so calm, even now!”

“I’m not calm,” laughed Audrey. “I feel drunk and, fuck, your lust is washing over me, I feel like I could jump out of my clothes and into yours right here, right now! I’m not calm at all!”

“For me, you are” purred Megan, whose heartbeats quickened more than ever at the minor woman’s words. “But I want you in my pants so bad. Just a moment, babe.”

Megan carried her little woman in her room. Both realized, with some surprise, that it was the first time the minor would see it. She was feeling a little self-conscious now. It was a pure mess here, with a portion of the large room dedicated to her gym material. And yet, she quickly focused on something else entirely, when she felt a soft, tender caress on her upper breasts.

She cooed as she looked down. Audrey was touching her, caressing her mounds tenderly, leaning so far from Megan’s hands that she was almost falling out of it. The CYCLO laughed a little and let herself fall on her bed, almost not startling the minor in doing so. The two of them looked at each other and then she brought Audrey’s face to hers and they kissed, first tenderly and very fast in a passionate way.

And as they did so, Megan realized, with some stupor, that the Bond was changing. The boundaries between their minds, their selves, seemed to meld and finally disappear. She couldn’t tell anymore where she finished and Audrey started. It was only them, together, entwined in a way she hadn’t ever dreamt off. They moaned, and continued to explore each other, the whole world forgotten for now.

“You’re incredible” they whispered, but none of them could tell who had spoken; both perhaps, or neither. “So good, better than anything we’ve ever experienced.”

They swirled on the bed, and suddenly the larger part of them was above the smaller, breathing, panting, removing her clothes and offering themselves an incredible view. The small one did the same, and the giantess growled, almost unable to contain themselves as they vibrated together, lust and pleasure and love washing over their minds, making them lose themselves in each other.

“We need us in our panties” panted the Megan’s portion of that unique entity. “We need us so bad, please.”

“We want that too” whispered the Audrey's portion of the being, and they laughed, as the giantess finally went naked, and she sat on her heels, on her bed.

She opened her muscular legs and allowed themself to walk between them to pleasure them. An electrical current raced from somewhere between them, before rushing in an endless loop between them, a little tongue on a large clit, soft fingers on a sensitive pussy. A roar, so loud it could have deafened the small one, if she hadn’t been head first into the enormous vagina by now.

Finally, as Megan stumbled on her back, heaving, searching for some oxygen, her mind seemed to separate a little from Audrey’s. She was shivering and moaning loudly, as pleasure continued to wrack her. Somehow, the minor girl continued to lap her up, instead of being entirely consumed by what the CYCLO was experiencing. It seemed unfair and Megan whined a little.

She was the bigger one, she should have been the one commanding in the bedroom, but suddenly she felt submissive, almost as if her personality and Audrey’s had switched place. She felt that something was happening to the Bond, it was almost as if someone had taken a hold of it and was driving it in a specific way that left the CYCLO whimpering and moaning. And finally, she felt something in the back of her mind, the soft voice of Audrey.

Cum for me. Cum on me

She screamed and whined and cried as she did as she had been asked to. It hadn’t been a real command, but definitely something her little lover wanted her to do that, and she somehow couldn’t refuse her. She arched her back, and she heard a little yelp as the minor stumbled out of her and found herself covered in cum. Megan had always been messy when she orgasmed, but today was spectacular.

She felt as if she was gushing a whole torrent out of her, panting and screaming in pleasure, feeling the sensation of a cataract of cum falling on her, an echo of what Audrey experienced, that drove her even wilder and milked another very wet orgasm out of her. Her limbs started to ache, as her whole body tensing to maintain her posture and cover the minor in her requested love juices.

“Fuck, fuck! I need to” she groaned, unable to even finish her sentence. “Get out from under me, Audrey!” she ordered, her powerful will returning with a vengeance and taking the reins of the Bond out of the surprised minor.

She barely managed to wait long enough to let herself fall back on her back, gasping, groaning and yet able, in one swift movement, to turn around and grasp at the small woman who had driven her crazy with lust and pleasure. Audrey didn’t even flinch or yelp, so immersed were they again in the Bond. She knew what Megan wanted to do, and she wanted this as much as the CYCLO.

The muscular ginger brought the minor woman to her face, spread her legs open with one of her fingers and gave head. It would have looked ridiculous to any outside observer, she was far too enormous to do that properly, but she didn’t care. She would be a messy lover; her tongue wouldn’t just cover the labia of her Audrey, she’d lick the inside of her thighs just as well as she pleased.

She wanted to taste her, she wanted to now how the minor woman was when orgasm rocked her body as hard as it had happened to her. And she wouldn’t have to wait for too long, suspected the giantess. Audrey was gasping and panting and trying, uselessly, to push her away - or to grip the bridge of her nose, Megan couldn’t really tell. She moaned loudly, just to enjoy the vibrations of her voice travelling through the body of the woman in her hands and back to her fingers.

“Fuck, how are you so good at this!” screamed Audrey as an orgasm, the first of many wracked her body.

Megan didn’t answer. She was too busy exploring the little body in her hands, continuing her sloppy and yet incredibly pleasurable licking. Audrey was the one breathing hard and fast now, and when Megan caressed her deliciously minuscule nipples on her almost non-existent breasts, she moaned. Megan loved that. She loved her. She loved how she wasn’t curvy and yet so deeply feminine.

“I love you, Audrey” she stated, bringing the minor’s mind out of the depth of lustful pleasure, for a moment.

“You’re just confusing lust and love” sighed the minor. “But fuck it. So am I. I love you, Megan. So, with that out of the box… How about we continue? I’ve heard we’re covered for a few days, and I need to be banged so badly that I won’t miss it for days on end when work resumes. Deal?”

“Deal. I don’t want you to be on edge, babe” laughed Megan. “And I promise, I’ll make sure you’ll love every second of every day here with me, from now on.”

“Hush, you shouldn’t make promises you can’t possibly uphold.”

“And… are you sure you’re… you know, okay with what I did with the Bond?” asked Megan softly? I… I don’t want you to end up resenting me because I removed your memories of what you did to your assaillant…”

“Don’t worry, big girl” chuckled the minor in her arms, caressing tenderly the side of the CYCLO’s face, eliciting a soft moan from the ginger giantess. “I’ll make new memories, and I know we’ll know I can take you down whenever I want if you fuck up, so you’ll be more open to consider me your equal, right?”

“Are you… threatening to shoot me dead if I say to you that you’re an adorable sprite that I want to keep, naked, on me, all the time?”

“Yeah, something like that!” laughed Audrey. “Now, I’d like to eat something, I’m famished. You’re cooking! Make it something good, or else…”

Megan let out a bellowing laugh, as she carried her partner to the kitchen. She’d make her the best food she could think of, and then… Well, the rest would be their future, and they’d build it together. One step at a time.

THE END
