Ghostly Gains- Part 2 (Patreon)

Taran has Milton caught in his web- but it's not all bad, as Milton's seeing the changes take hold. Enjoy!

"There you go, little man! Feel that burn!" Taran's voice echoed in Milton's head. 

"Hnyegh— Y-yessir!" The cat gulped as he heaved up a weight that weighed almost as much as he did just a week ago. Taran's ethereal web had wormed its way through all of Milton's body, settling in to his arms and legs so that the ghostly bodybuilder, always looming over him in the shadows and in mirrors, could tug on him whenever he wanted. The cat's entire life had been upended— Taran had restructured his diet geared towards protein and maximum gains, filled his dreams with loads of workout information and bodybuilding techniques, and was always whispering in the cat's head about his next workout.

The hulking spider's tutelage was having the intended effect, though. Milton was growing— the reed-thin nerd was now replaced by a bespectacled bodybuilder that could command the stage almost anywhere. His clothes were fit to burst over his engorged chest, his meaty arms, thighs like tree trunks— the jocks on the football team had noticed. The cat was never one to try and scare people, but now that his arms sported biceps nearly as big as the quarterback's head, they were almost afraid of him.

And Milton had to admit— it was nice to see them be scared and intimidated for a change. If only they could see Taran; they'd be running for the hills.

"I want another set just like that— and then, dude, we're getting you some new threads. Who the Hell wears loafers to a gym?"

"Th-they're sensible!"

"Nah, what's sensible is some muscle shirts to show off those righteous guns! Milly, come on— you've worked hard for this." Taran said, filling the mirror over the cat.

"You've made me work hard!"

"I didn't make you pick up the weights, dude." The musclebound tarantula replied, hissing in Milton's ear. "Come on. You wanted this. So why turn into a wimp now? What's there to be so scared of, huh?"
