Henry thought, "Maybe there is a way to speed up the process. Whatever was in the soap might be something that could be put in other things."
The next day, Henry went back to the store where he got the soap from. He asked Merle, "Can what was in that soap be placed in other things?"
Merle said, "Why sure. I do have other things I sell that have the same effect. I won't sell you the pure stuff but let me show you what else I have."
Henry bought an insect repellant, a sunscreen, a laundry detergent and a box of forty mints. All of these products had the formula for making Adam more minotaur like.
Later, when Adam complained about how bored he was, Henry told him there was a pond nearby where he could go swimming. "It's a very nice pond, very clean, but you do have to watch out for biting insects. Here's an insect repellent."
Adam sprayed a little to smell it. "Ugh, that smells horrible and why does it also smell like lavender. Adding lavender does nothing to make that bug spray smell go away."
"Suit yourself. You don't have to use it but take it with you in case you change your mind."
It didn't take long at the pond to make Adam change his mind. Everything below the water felt wonderful but the bugs were quick to attack anything above the water. So Adam decided to spray his upper body.
Then Adam's upper body started feeling really good, not just relief from no more bug bites, but erotically good. Soon he got out of the pond and sprayed his whole body down. The sensation seemed focused on Adam's arms which had gotten the heavier dose. He spent several minutes just admiring how strong he was. "I so want to use these arms. It's a shame to let them go to waste."
Eventually, Adam dropped his shorts and sprayed down there as well.
