— Aaron —

“Welcome couples to our third matching ceremony. Men, it’s your turn to pick the matches. Ladies, if you are one of the ones not chosen, you will be leaving the Villa tonight.” Brian recited soberly into the cameras, which panned up to take a shot of the assembled singles. All of us men were on one side of the yard, dressed in our suits and milling around, on the other side, the women were dressed in low cut, form fitting dresses, looking even more nervous than we were. All except Kim, who sat cross legged and still loomed behind them all looking more confident than ever. I can't imagine why. I kept doing the couple math, and I just didn't see how she could survive this.

“Aaron.” Brian called. “Please step forward and tell us your match.”

I moved forward to the camera mark. When I hit it, a hot and bright spotlight hit me from above. Just as I was ready to start speaking, Kim rose up from her sitting position to  stand to her full height. She was an absurd fourteen feet tall this morning, and she was probably bigger than that already. I wouldn’t have thought the difference between a fourteen foot tall person and a twelve foot tall person would be so noticeable, but boy was I wrong. No one, not even Thomas, was as tall as her leg anymore. Hell, Monica was nearly knee height to her. She crossed her arms over her chest, pressing her boobs up and together.

“This woman…” I started, looking down at the ground to avoid Kim’s gaze. “This woman I have admired since she got here. We haven’t had a lot of chances to talk, but she makes me laugh and I think we have really good ch-chemistry.” I stammered. “That’s why tonight, I’m going to match with Des.”

The cameras swiveled to the men reacting to Kim getting dumped. They all played up their reactions for the camera, though I knew for a fact that they all saw it coming. I think they, like me, were mostly trying to hide how happyl they were to finally be rid of her. Then the cameras panned to the women. Des squealed and ran across the yard and into my arms. I caught her, and she planted adoring kisses on my neck. Meanwhile, myself and the cameras were looking up at Kim who was making a show of being disappointed.

“Kim.” Brain called up to the monster of a woman glaring down at proceedings. “Aaron chose Des. How does that make you feel?”

“I’m fine Brian.” Came the quick reply. “I’m too much woman for Aaron to keep up with anyway.” She sneered. I tried to make eye contact to show I wasn’t afraid of her. But I was afraid of her. It was hard to even look at her. And she had no problem holding her cold gaze on me. I broke eye contact first, looking down at the top of Des’s head. 

“Is there anyone here tonight that you think is up to the task?” Brian prompted. Kim gave a knowing smile down at Darren, and blushed slightly.

“Maybe.” She said, giving up nothing. I looked back to Darren. He was as scared of her as anyone. No way he saves her tonight, not over picking Valerie.

“Right, well Aaron and Des, please step to the side. Next up is Thomas.”

Then it was business as usual. One by one, the guys stepped forward and complemented their matches, the pool of women getting smaller and smaller until all that was left was Valerie and Kim. When Darren stepped up to the spotlight, Kim lowered herself down to sit next to her fellow contestant so the two could hold each other while Darren made his decision. I clutched Des’s hand just as hard.

Darren began his speech, looking down at the space between his feet.

“Uh, the person I want to couple with tonight has been there since day one…”

I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew he was going to match with Valerie, which would mean Kim would finally be leaving the Villa. When he wrapped up I found myself clapping loudly as Darren invited Valerie over to him. Kim leaned down and kissed Valerie on the forehead and smiled at her as she walked across the yard to join Darren. The other couples clapped loudly too, joining in my relief that Kim would soon be out of the picture. Kim stood back up and folded her arms behind her back.

“Congratulations Darren and Valerie.” Brian nodded, and then stepped forward to address Kim.

“Kim, that leaves you without a match. I think you know what that means.” He said somberly. Kim wiped her eyes and put on a brave smile. Serves you right, I thought.

“It’s not surprising. I know the changes I’ve gone through lately have been hard for people to keep up with. Still, I’m glad that I came on looking for love. I’ve grown as a person… in more ways than one”. The joke drew uncomfortable laughter from everyone. “Anyway, I wouldn’t change any of it.” She smiled.

“Well Kim, it’s been a pleasure, but now it’s time to say goodbye.” He gestured to us and stepped back to invite her to mingle with us one last time. I braced myself for whatever cruel game Kim would want to play as a send off. Picking me or Des up, or whatever.

“One second.” Valerie interrupted. “I’m thrilled with Darren choosing me as a match, but there’s something we need to get off our chest.” She took a dramatic breath and looked to Darren, who held her shoulders reassuringly. No. I thought. No. No. No.

“Kim.” She said, approaching the giant. “Darren and I have talked about it, and we’ve decided that while we do like each other very much and want to be together, that there is something in both of our souls that draws us to you.” She said. “So, we would like to do something a little unconventional, and propose a three way match between you, me, and Darren.”

My jaw hit the floor, as did many other’s. I looked back at the producers to see Charlie, Kim’s production assistant, nodding slowly along with the action. That son of a bitch changed the game without telling us.

I turned around to see Kim bounding across the field, and the other contestants stirring. Kim kneeled down in front of the couple with a look of pure bliss in her eyes, and she wrapped her arms around them to pull each of them to pull them forward and take turns engulfing their faces with her lips. Every piece of me wanted to run then. But who could I go to? Pete was gone. Kim’s little sycophant was apparently running the show now.

Brian cleared his throat to get their attention, and Kim slowly released the smaller couple from her embrace.

“Wow.” He said, his face lit with excitement. “This is certainly unconventional, but this show is all about finding love so we’re going to allow it. Darren, what does it mean to you to invite Kim into your relationship?”

“Uh, it means a lot.” He said, clearly not knowing what it meant.

“Yeah.” Chimed in Valerie. “Kim has been my best friend here for a while, and I’m excited to see if those feelings of friendship can develop into romance.”

“Kim, did you see this coming?”

Kim smiled and pulled her hair behind her ear. “Um, no, but I’m very flattered. I’ve always had a crush on this couple and I’m excited to see what life is like when I’m part of it.”

“What are you looking forward to the most?” He probed.

She glanced over her shoulder at me, and then looked back to Brian and the camera.

“I guess, some of my past relationships have been… unfulfilling… we’ll say. I’m more than twice the size of anyone here, so maybe I need twice the love.” She stated, squeezing her breasts together with her elbows for effect. Darren and Vallerie leaned forward again to kiss her on her neck.

“Well.” Brian said addressing us. “Shocking things happening tonight. I’m sure you’re all tired and eager to discuss what happened. I’ll see you back here tomorrow for another couple’s challenge. Goodnight everyone!”

Upbeat pop music flooded the courtyard, and the milling contestants immediately separated themselves. Valerie and Darren each reached up to grab one of Kim’s hands, the woman had to stoop slightly so Valerie could reach. The other couples slinked away to process what happened together. 

I only exhaled when Des and I made it to my room.

“I can’t believe she’s still here, what a nightmare.” I said, sitting on my still broken bed and putting my head in my hands. Des climbed onto the bed behind me and started to massage my neck.

“It’s ok, it’s you and me now.” She comforted me, and gently kissed me behind the ear. I turned to face her, taking her neck in my hand, and gave her a big kiss. She fell limp in my arms, surrendering to me completely. This is what I wanted on paper, someone on equal terms with me. And yet… I couldn’t get Kim out of my head. I found myself thinking about the night she left me, of her huge boobs pressed into me. She’s a monster, Aaron, I reminded myself even as the overwhelming image, the overbearing feeling, the all encompassing smell of her filled my head.

“Something wrong?” Des snapped me back into reality. I had stopped kissing her as I daydreamed.

“No- nothing. I’m just thinking about how happy I am that we’re together.” I lied. I pulled her in and rolled on top of her, my hand running down the length of her body. Just as our lips were about to touch, a loud thump shook the room, followed by the sounds of loud laughter. Des and I both looked to the origin of the noise and waited. We looked back at each other and laughed.

“Sounds like-” I started, only to be interrupted by another loud thump.

“Someone is having fun.” observed Des with a giggle. We carried on, trying to ignore it, but the thumping got louder and louder, faster and faster. Soon we were reduced to holding our hands over our ears and giving each other awkward looks.

“OH YEAH!” a loud moan accompanied the thumps. The last straw. I shot out of bed to go pound on the wall.

“Hey! Keep it down!” But the rhythmic thumping drowned me out.

I walked over to where my pants laid on the floor and started putting them on.

“What are you doing?” Asked Des, sitting up but still covering her ears.

“I’m gonna go tell them to knock it off.” I answered as I finished buttoning up my pants.

“Can’t you just forget it?” She asked. No, of course not. She thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she’s big, but she can’t. There’s common human decency at play. With Pete gone and Charlie in charge, someone had to put their foot down. Plus, every thump and moan just made the invasive memories of her worse.

“I'll be right back.” I assured her, and marched out of the room to the next door and pounded loudly, rattling the door on its hinges. The thumping immediately stopped, replaced by shushing and giggles from behind the door.

“Can you guys keep it down in there?” I asked, thumping on the door again. “We’re trying to sleep.” There was no response, only more giggles and shuffling. 

Satisfied I had sucked the air out of the mood, I turned to return to Des. I didn’t make it three steps before the thumping started again, so I marched back to pound on the door again. Before my fist could contact the door, the door flung open, and now I was staring right into Kim’s chasm of cleavage as her tits hung down below the door frame. She was on her knees with her thighs pressed together. She ducked down to look at me from under the door frame, her arms stretched over her head.

“Aaron?” she asked, feigning surprise. “What do you want?” She was licking and biting her lips, and gently rocking up and down. Her face was blushing deep red.

“I’m just…” I started. I was having a hard time not staring at Kim’s body as it filled the doorway.

“Aw, you came here because you miss me, don’t you?” She teased, and her expression shifted like she was trying to hold something in.

“No, I-” I started, but was cut off by her sucking on her teeth. My eyes were drawn down to her left hip, I could see a hand emerge from under her to hold onto her thigh. My eyes widened when I realized what was up. Kim giggled as she saw my moment of realization, and spread her legs to reveal Valerie’s head pushed up against her pussy, licking eagerly.

“What’s the matter Aaron? Don’t you want to join?” She laughed, and that caused Valerie to laugh too, laying down on the ground to cover her face with her hands. Kim started to reach a hand out to pull me in, but I backed away quickly. I returned to my room to the sound of the women’s laughter.

Des gave me a concerned look as I reentered the room.

“How’d it go?” She asked, but her question was answered by the renewed banging next door, Kim’s howling just grew more and more exaggerated.

Des and I were absolutely exhausted the next morning. We joined the other couples in the courtyard for breakfast. Everyone was there except Darren and Valerie, who were probably more tired than us, and Kim, who was probably getting measured right about now. We wouldn’t see her for another hour.  As usual, everyone was talking about Kim.

“So loud last night.” Monica complained. Her and Thomas’s room was on the other side of Kim’s, so their experience was probably much the same as ours.

“Get used to it.” I said, sitting down to join them. “I tried to tell them to keep it down and she only got louder.”

“This is ridiculous.” Thomas said. “She shouldn’t even be here anymore. I can’t believe that shit they pulled at the matching ceremony.”

“Yeah I wonder what she did to Val and Darren to make them do that.” Candice added.

“They’re nymphos.” I said. “Just like her.”

“Yeah I don’t see how anyone can be with her when she’s that big, like practically.” Thomas chimed in.

“Come on, you have to admit it’s a little hot right?” Monica offered, drawing dead stares. “Ok, maybe not.” She raised her hands in surrender.

“Shh, here comes Darren and Val.” Thomas interrupted, and waved over my shoulder. I turned to watch the couple approach, with no sign of Kim. The two looked exhausted after the night’s events. Darren was actually limping.

“Hey guys.” Said Darren as he took a seat and began to dig into breakfast.

“Hey buddy.” Thomas greeted. “Listen, we were all talking and we were wondering why you saved Kim last night.” Darren just looked to Val to do the talking.

“Well, it’s complicated. Kim has been my best friend since entering the Villa and her size doesn’t change that.” No one really knew how to respond to that. How couldn’t size change that? Especially after how she's been acting?

“So…” Monica started, and everyone turned to look at Darren and Valerie expectantly.

“What?” Darren asked. Valerie looked confused as well.

“They want to know.” I explained. “The question you all asked me every morning I was matched with her. Is she still growing, and how big is she.”

Darren and Val looked at each other uncomfortably. I could tell from the look on their face that it was bad news.

“She’s with the medics now.” Valerie said.

“Yeah, but is she bigger?” Thomas pressed.

“Yeah.” Conceded Darren.

“How much bigger?” Monica asked, shifting in her seat.

“Almost a foot and a half” Said Val.

Everyone stared into their breakfast. She was growing faster and faster all the time with no signs of stopping. Weeks ago I would have dismissed the possibility of a fifteen foot tall person at all, and now that was the reality I was living in. I thought about what life could be like weeks from now, with a legitimate fifty foot tall Kim standing over us. No way she could get that big.

“This is getting too dangerous.” I muttered.

“What’s dangerous?” Interjected Charlie as he snuck up behind me. “Hey good morning everyone.” The last person I wanted to talk to was Kim’s little cheerleader.

“So you might not of heard, but I’m going to be taking over show running duties.” That figured. The group immediately sparked into loud protests. Charlie raised his hands to calm us.

“Now now, you’re in capable hands. I know a lot of things have happened that you weren’t really prepared for, but the show must go on and we all have to adapt to circumstances. We can’t let things like this get in the way of your debuts, right?” Charlie said, implicitly hanging our careers over our heads. No one protested after that.

“Right. So, in the spirit of rolling with the punches, we’ll be making some changes to accommodate Kim’s condition. I assure you all, you’re completely safe and everything is under control.” As if on cue, Kim rounded the corner of the courtyard. 

“Hey everyone, sorry I’m late. The medics had a fit because I grew a whole foot overnight. I’m officially fifteen feet, six inches!” She said proudly, striking a pose with her hand reaching to the sky and a leg kicked up to emphasize the length of her body. Charlie kicked off half hearted clapping from the rest of the contestants. Unbelievable. She was growing almost two feet a day now.

“Alright, well everyone is here, it’s time to get into today’s challenge. Head to the lawn and remember: we’re here to have fun!” Said Charlie as he left the table. I barely registered anything he said, staring at the massive pair of legs in front of me. I followed the contours of her body up to her face. I briefly made eye contact with her, and felt my stomach flip as I saw her expression. She was so fucking horny, and barely containing it.

— Charlie —

This was it, my chance to make my masterpiece, my chance to make television history. I watched the contestants line up along the poolside, waiting for the reveal of today's challenge. Kim was too big to fit in the frame, her long legs taking baby steps so as to not overtake the little ones beneath her. Each of the normal sized contestants would take turns shooting furtive glances upwards as if they needed to verify that they were indeed sharing a reality with fifteen foot tall Kim.

I zoomed the shot out to capture her in all her glory, verging on being three times the size of the other contestants. She was dressed in a white bikini made from scrap bed sheets of her former toga. The bottoms were made nearly translucent by the wetness of her crotch. A consequence of her raging hormones, no doubt. We would touch it up in post for the censors. Her top was also nearly translucent, but the culprit there was her massive breasts, still the fastest growing part of her. Her long, thick nipples tented the fabric, isolated pink mountains on smooth white globes. She looked down at the ground as she walked, her eyes flitting between watching her breasts bounce with her every step to catching the wary looks of her fellow contestants and meeting them with a dazzling smile.

“You’re so fucked.” The ghost of Pete whispered in my ear. He hadn’t left my side since I caved his skull in with the rock Kim gave me. He loomed there with his bowl shaped head, his last cigarette still hanging out of his half of a mouth. I rubbed my eyes to try and banish him.

The contestants reached their marks, and Brian stepped forward to reveal today’s challenge.

"Hello couples, how is everyone doing?" The contestants obediently shifted from anxiousness and angst to over the top joy for the cameras.

“I trained them well.” Pete sighed proudly with a puff of smoke. “There’s no way you’re going to be able to maintain this.” I shook my head to banish him once again.

"Well, sounds like you're all ready for a couple’s challenge." Brian smiled at the crowd.

"Woo!" The contestants shouted and clapped.

"Well, we have a curveball for you. Kim, can you join me up here?" Brian announced, and shot a glance over to me in the producer's huddle. Cameras zoomed in on the contestant's faces as they reacted. Aaron looked like he was about to shit himself.

Kim stepped over the line of people in front of her and sauntered over to Brian, accompanied by reserved clapping from the couples. Kim planted her feet right beside Brian, who shifted to increase distance away from the massive woman.

I took a look at the monitor. It was a good shot. Kim's legs extending up the length of the frame and disappearing above. The charismatic Brian barely held his composure next to the sight.

"Brian." I called through the bull horn. "Can you ask Kim how tall she is, and then to sit?" I prompted.

Brian forced his nervous look into a professional smile. "Wow, you're quite a bit taller than yesterday's matching ceremony, how tall are you now?"

"15' 6"!" She announced proudly. "How tall are you?" She asked with a giggle.

"5'10"." Brian answered with a laugh, trying to keep it light.

"Haha wow, it won’t be long before I’m literally three times the size of you!" She teased the host.

"Yeah, yeah, could you sit down so you're in the frame?" Brian asked.

Kim complied, squatting down into the frame, then stretching her long legs in front of her. They reached all the way down the stairs that separated the upper deck from the pool deck. She leaned back and braced her arms behind her. Even leaning back like this, she was a full head taller than Brian. I watched as she noticed this, tilting her chin up slightly and looking down her nose at Brian before turning the smug look towards me and the cameras.

“This job that you killed me for, it’s all about control. All the variables, all the time.” Pete continued his needling.

“You don’t control her, you know that right?” No, that’s not true, she listens to me and trusts me. She just knows what she wants and knows I can get it for her. This is a partnership.

“Whatever you need to tell yourself.” Pete added.

"Whew! That's a lot of woman!" Brian said, switching to his lines. Valerie gave a woop woop from off camera.

"Kim, you're going to have a special role for today's challenge, and it's going to be a little different than the others, because today’s challenge is individual. That’s right, you’re not competing as couples, you’re competing for yourselves."

The cameras whirled to catch the expressions of couples as they over emphasized their shock.

“The name of the game is Hide and Seek!” Brian announced triumphantly. I could see Aaron’s expression on the monitor turn nauseous.

“That means…” Brian said, motioning to Kim

“Oh no, I’m ‘it’ aren’t I?” She reasoned. Through my monitor I could see the realization beginning to sap the morale out of the contestants. Understandably, none of them wanted to be chased by a more than fifteen foot tall woman through the jungle. I looked over my shoulder at Pete, who was giving me a smug half smile. 

“That’s right. Here’s how it is going to work: Kim, you’re going to wait here and count to two hundred to give them a head start. Everyone else, you can hide anywhere you like except bathrooms or private rooms, but if you go more than three hundred feet from the Villa, you’re out. If Kim tags you anywhere on your body, you’re out and you have to return to the courtyard. Any questions about the rules?”

“Can I just give up?” Asked Aaron.

“They’re going to rebel, and you don’t have the right stuff to get them in line.” Pete taunted. I lifted my bull horn.

“This is happening everyone. Get excited for the shot.” I ordered growling like Pete would. Kim looked to me, bit her lip, and then shot a smirk over to the couples. “Brian, take it away.”

“You want to know what you win?” Brian led.

“Yeah!” the couples cheered, obediently burying their true feelings.

“The last person caught by Kim gets to choose one other person to go on a romantic date. Anyone they like. Kim, since we’re making you ‘it’, you’ll also get to choose someone to go on a date with.” Loud, fake cheers from everyone, especially Valerie.

“Well then, Kim if you’re ready…” Kim gave a slow, determined nod, and then covered her eyes with her hands.

“And couples, if you’re ready, we’ll start the clock… NOW!”

The couples started to scurry away from the pool as I yelled “CUT. Great take folks. Get ready for testimonials.” The contestants all came to a stop, meandering around to and awaiting their turn to go to the testimonial room.

First on the list of priorities was Kim. Once we had her reaction we could trick the others into playing off of it.   She sat down on the floor in front of the couch, folding her legs underneath her. She was over seven feet tall even sitting on her butt on the ground. Hair and make up people approached her, reaching up to touch up her hair and make up before the shot. I caught her eye as they did, and she gave me a wide, appreciative smile.

“So, are you excited to play Hide and Seek?” I probed after the final touches were done.

She laughed and played with her hair.

“I’m really excited to play Hide and Seek actually. You know, since my body has grown so large I’ve sort of been curious about what I’m capable of. Most of Villa life is just lounging around, but this will get properly physical.” She beamed. 

"Who do you think is going to be the hardest to find?"

"I think I'll have the hardest time finding Monica, Des, and Aaron. I mean, they're all soooo small it's hard to see them anyway, haha." She let out a fit of giggles that shook her ample breasts.

"Great stuff Kim, can you send in Aaron next?"

Kim flashed a smile and rose to her full, impossible, height. “Sure thing, Boss.” She said. “And… thanks.” She added bashfully, putting her hair behind her ear. “I’m really loving the new direction the show is taking with you in charge.” For the first time all morning, the cold feeling of Pete’s ghost hanging over my head vanished. 

"Aaron, you're next!" She called, and held the door open for the comparatively tiny Aaron as he entered, shrinking away from the giant woman. Aaron didn't look to be in good shape as he sat down.

"How are you feeling?" I probed, my heart still light from Kim’s show of gratitude.

"I'm not looking forward to being chased through the woods by my giant sized ex." He said matter of factly.

"Are you worried for your safety?"

"Yes." He said, looking dead in the camera. "Are you crazy? She crushed Cedric's leg when she was just 9 feet tall, and now she's 6 feet taller than that! And besides accidents, I’m worried about what she would do on purpose! Pete knew she was out of control, so why aren’t  you doing anything to stop her? I'm worried all the time when I'm around her."

"Great stuff Aaron, call in Des next." I waved.

"No I'm serious! I don't want to do this. It's humiliating having her around lording over everyone." He ranted.

"Alright Aaron. I understand. We will give Kim a note to be gentle with you." I promised.

Aaron shrugged and threw his hands up.

"Send in Des next." I repeated the order and dismissed him from the room. 

“And Aaron,” I called out ahead of him. “Don’t even think about running out of bounds first thing. I’ll just make you hide again.” I tracked his steps out, and leaned to my editor as he cleared the room.

"Try to pull the stuff about her size, cut the stuff about him being afraid or her being dangerous."

Testimonials took a good hour to film, and it was the same story for most of the regular size contestants. They would come in, clearly worried, and when the cameras got rolling, they would obediently put on their over-the-top reality TV personas. Watching them contort their feelings for me and the cameras was a rush. Fuck you Pete, I am in control.

With the final testimonial done, I exited back to the courtyard and ordered everyone to their starting positions. All my game pieces placed in their proper order, especially my trump card, my ace, my glorious queen.

I made my way to Kim leaning back on her hands, and motioned her to lower her ear down to me. I looked at Aaron, shifting nervously on his feet.

"Be a little rough with Aaron. He's terrified of you." I ordered. She pulled back and gave me a nod and a knowing look, a devilish smile curling on her plump lips.
