"We have dinner," Jake said. "And thank our lucky stars we both have girlfriends willing to let us use these things on them. Maybe even later tonight."
The girls still seemed slightly confused as to what they'd just witnessed - from their perspective both men had gained a substantial amount of cock since the first competition - Jake gaining a solid inch and a half and Josh almost doubling in size. But as they looked on, their bewilderment seemed to soften as rationalisation kicked in. After all, they knew what their boyfriends' dicks looked like. Nine inches. It was just a shock hearing it out loud, maybe. Liz nudged Katie and they shared a salacious chuckle.
"I'll put something together," Katie said, swishing off into the dinette.
"Dude," said Josh, voice measured. "Can we have a word?"
"Word sounds good, man," said Jake. "Let me get everything arranged away and we can go out on the patio."
The evening air outside was pleasantly warm and Jake felt himself adjusting his slightly-bigger-than-expected summer softie down his left pant leg. Josh ducked out to follow him.
"So," he said.
"So," Jake replied. "Not a bad outcome, right? Looks like you beat reverse puberty!"
"Don't try to bullshit me," spat Josh. "You used that watch to ... to ..." he paused. He seemed to be having some trouble rationalising what he was saying. "Make me feel small."
What an odd way to phrase it. Jake was suddenly struck by the idea that while the owner of the watch seemed to keep full awareness of the changes with everyone else rationalising it as normal, that might not be as true of the app. Newer not always better, perhaps.
"Hey, that's not fair. I got you on the growth pills. I got the falsie for you to wear to stop you jerking off and losing all your progress. And look - it's worked out great."
It was true. The blond man was bigger than ever, prominent delts and traps attesting to his Herculean regime.
Josh seemed visibly befuddled. He raised his phone. "I found this app... I used it to ... to ..." Jake leaned in for a better look. The app had a small pink logo reading 'SexShop' that he recognised from the store where he'd bought the watch. It was currently on the 'Latest changes' page. The latest said 'Synced to UNKNOWN device. Harmonising changes...'. Below that 'INVALID ADJUSTMENT ATTEMPT [x3]'. Below that 'SUCCESSFUL Length ADJUSTMENT: 8.5'' to 9.5'''
"You used it to track your progress, right? That's good, but these apps can give you a false sense of security. See, you recorded your most recent gain as nine point five, but that's not quite true, is it? Now you're back to your full nine inches, it's probably best to get rid of it."
