Elena was in hir element, in more ways than one. Bull sharks are quite capable of living in either fresh water or saltwater. Shi had been quite comfortable in Lyre when shi had access to an unchlorinated pool shi could swim in. But now shi was on Mieni Atoll where shi could get saltwater through hir gills.
Elena also felt particularly comfortable with entering another bodybuilding competition. Shi has done a lot of body competitions in hir time, but never one like this. Despite all the work that was put into it (or how much drugs and surgery was involved), there was a limit to how jacked a human body can get, even without taking things like heart stress into account. Animalians, however, have a higher threshold than humans and have an easier time bulking up. It certainly helped that the conversion gives them a very fit body to begin with.
Elena was eager to restart hir bodybuilding career, though there were a few minor complications. Even though shi originally identfied hirself as more of a woman, hir body was obviously one of a hermaphrodite. Despite broader shoulders and a pair of claspers in hir sheathe, hir musculature leaned more towards the feminine side. If nothing else, hir large, round breasts kept hir from entering the men's division of the bodybuilding competition. But that didn't bother Elena. It was clear to hir that there were very few true women who could be serious competition to hir.
Elena reveled in the sound of spectators watching hir lift heavy weights and pose with them, but there was one particular group that shi loved hearing cheers from most. Elena had first entered that Herm Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction as the only herm shark Animalian. But shi got a bigger reaction from people than shi expected. So it wasn't just one other herm shark cheering hir on, but five. Each one was holding up a sign that had one letter of hir name on it. The five of them made very interesting cheerleaders. It was just them being sharks or having more amazonian builds than traditional cheerleaders, but the shorts they wore emphasized the bulges they had, even if they weren't fully erect. Their cheering certainly motivated Elena to push hirself harder. Not just for the sake of the whole crowd's approval, but for what happens after the day's showcase.
==========
"You were killing it out there, Elena," said Ruth, hir hand on Elena's shoulders as they walked into their hotel room. Unlike the others, Ruth had stuck with hir original name after hir conversion. Shi figured it could now be short for 'Ruthless'. Compared to the rest of the shiver (the term for a group of sharks) Ruth also had the most normal name.
"You were blowing them out of the water," said Waverly, who was on Elena's other side.
"There was no girl who can compete with you," said Stormy, following them into the room.
"Nor guy for that matter," said Ripley, following right behind hir fellow shark.
Thrash closed the door behind hir and said, "They should give you the trophies for both divisions."
"Herms, herms, settle down," said Elena, "I don't want my head to get too big."
"Oh, I wouldn't mind that," said Ruth as shi rubbed at Elena's groin, "Not if it were this head."
"Or this one," said Waverly, also rubbing at Elana's groin.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," said Elena, "We've got time before the next show, right?"
"That was the last one today," said Thrash.
"We got anything else planned?" asked Elena.
"Dinner won't be for two hours," said Stormy.
"Ok, I think we have time," said Elena as shi pulled off the bikini top shi was wearing.
"Who are you gonna mate with now?" asked Ripley, the other shark herms looking eager. The six of them hadn't officially paired off into couples yet, so they still got involved in some crazy group sex.
"Hmm...I'm tempted to try three of you at once, but I'm not sure if my dicks can stretch that far apart...yet," said Elena, "Ruth, you get my dicks this time. Thrash, you get my slit. The rest of you, uh, you do your own thing. I'll get to you eventually."
The herm sharks grinned as they stripped, allowing their large breasts, round asses, and double dicks out. Their shark slits were already moistening as they approached their partners. While Waverly and Stormy went down on Ripley, Thrash approached Ruth and Elena.
Ruth was already rubbing hir ass against Elena's crotch before shi pulled hir shorts down. With two shark penises, shi ought to be able to fuck two sharks at once, three if you count one taking hir vagina. But until Elena could improve hir pelvic flexibility, shi stuck with putting hir dicks into one shark at a time. And that's what shi did with Ruth, pounding deep into hir.
Meanwhile, Thrash had lined hirself up with Elena's other hole. Thrash teasingly poked hir dicks at Elena's asshole. Having two dicks might allow hir to fuck both rear holes at the same time. But Ruth focused on Elena's pussy before thrusting in.
Elena moaned as shi was being fucked from both sides. Of course, shi made the precaution of taking a birth control pill. Elena might want to be a mother someday, but now wouldn't be a good time, with the bodybuilding competition going on. And as for possibly fathering any kids, the other sharks were also being careful. Elena knew that eventually some would pair up, but shi didn't want to make them choose hir just because shi knocked them up.
Watching the other three sharks get busy turned Elena on even more. Shi loved being in the literal middle of these herm fucks. In times like this, the lines blurred between who shi wanted as a permanent mate. But there was time for settling later, after the IAC.
