Natiq and Salome By Strega In two years of antarctic diving and filming every imaginable sort of wildlife Joey had never seen a dolphin chase an emperor penguin before. The birds were much too big for a dolphin to swallow and playful as the sea mammals were, they tended to chase things that they could eat if the mood struck them. An Emperor is half the size of a man, though. Not worth the dolphin's time. Yet here it was happening, and Joey followed the action with his waterproof camera. He had an hour left of air in the SCUBA tank and watching a smallish dolphin chase a penguin around was the most unusual thing he'd recorded in a long time. That changed in just a few seconds. Chunks of ice floating overhead produced areas of shadow in the water, gloomy spaces that dolphins, which 'saw' mostly by echolocation, treated as they would any other bit of ocean. Penguins were thought to echolocate too, so it was a surprise when the penguin, closely followed by the dolphin, suddenly veered aside rather than pass through one of the murky areas. It still passed too close and suddenly a large seal burst forth from the shadows. The leopard seal must have been over ten feet long and rather than snap at the penguin it reached out its foreflippers and caught it. This was very unusual behavior and knowing that sea leopards were usually uninterested in harming humans Joey swam closer to get better footage. What he saw then had never, to his knowledge, been seen by human eyes before. The big seal bent double, carrying the penguin between its flippers as it went, and Joey saw the thick pink shaft unsheathe as the seal impaled the penguin. Bubbles burst from the startled bird's beak and its eyes bugged out in what must have been agony as the seal began to hump. The powerful sea mammal worked its cock deeper, pushing the penguin down each time it thrust, and the unfortunate bird squirmed and squawked. Joey had never heard a penguin cry underwater before. After just a few strokes the sea leopard had fully impaled the penguin, which stood out from its crotch, held rigid by a bone-stiffened cock half as long as its entire body. By all rights blood should have poured forth but somehow it fit. Penguins and seals can hold their breath for far longer than a human and Joey recorded for perhaps two minutes as the seal thrust into the squirming penguin. He had heard of sea lions raping penguins but never leopard seals and never underwater. It was the most remarkable thing he'd ever gotten on film. That changed again as the seal's hind flippers twitched. A shudder ran through its sleek flanks and if Joey had any doubt about what was happening the sight of the penguin being launched off the cock by a stream of seal cum dispelled it. The seal was waiting for that to happen and the penguin was too stunned by its experience to swim away before a fanged maw opened in front of it. The seal fired the Emperor off its cock and right into its jaws, which snapped shut leaving only a kicking set of penguin feet outside. The rest of the bird made a bulge in the seal's thick neck and it turned toward Joey, blinking curiously. The leopard seal was clearly about to swallow the penguin whole and alive and that'd never been gotten on film, either. Joey recorded from just a few feet away as the seal hung there in the water, and the camera followed the seal down as it suddenly ducked its head. A flash of gray caught his attention and Joey lifted the camera just in time to see the smallish dolphin, which had swum away after the seal caught the penguin, pass within inches of the sea leopard's back and come right at him. There was no time to react as the dolphin's beak snapped open and Joey had a momentary glimpse of peg-like teeth and the pink flesh around them before the camera, his outstretched arms, and then his head were down the dolphin's throat. The dolphin's beak slipped down next to Joey's SCUBA tank and stopped as its momentum was exhausted, leaving him trapped a third of the way into a gullet and filming nothing but fleshy folds of throat that even the camera's low light settings barely picked up. Weird, Joey thought, because he'd never heard of anything like this happening before. The dolphin must have mistaken him for a much smaller animal. He tried to back water with his swim fins but the dolphin followed along, its jaws latched tight around his shoulders. The poor thing was probably confused and he just needed to work his way out of its jaws before anyone got hurt. He had all the air he needed but there was no way it could surface to breathe with a man stuck in its beak. Up until now Joey had felt only the mildest unease, and that when the sea leopard turned to look at him. That changed when something brushed against his SCUBA tank. His dry suit protected him from the icy water and the dolphin's teeth but if anything happened to his air supply he was in trouble. He kicked and struggled as sharp seal teeth dug into the straps that held the tank in place and his eyes went wide with fear as a strap parted and the tank was ripped off his back. Automatic valving shut the lines but he had only a few breaths of air before he needed to head to the surface. As he tried to squirm free from the dolphin's jaws, though, the sea mammal turned out to have other ideas. It lurched forward with a powerful stroke of its flukes and without the obstruction of the air tank its beak stretched wider. Joey would have bet a year's pay that it was impossible for a dolphin to swallow a man but as its jaws distended and its forward thrust pushed them over his shoulders he was suddenly not so sure. It was not an especially large dolphin, probably not much more than twice his weight, but as it swam forward he slipped deeper and deeper into its maw. Peg teeth meant to hold fish still until they could be swallowed whole worked just as well on a man in a dry suit, and with with an arch of its body the dolphin slipped its beak over him all the way to his rump. This is impossible, he thought as he slid camera-first into the dolphin's stomach. Even an orca has too small a throat for this. Men did not know all the secrets of the world, though, and it turned out one of the things they did not suspect was the appetite of certain aquatic mammals. The dolphin swallowed, working its beak over his weight belt and rump, and there was nothing of him left in the cold water but a set of frantically kicking legs. He was being swallowed whole by a dolphin! There would be some consolation if his camera escaped after recording his fate but it was in the thing's stomach, just like his arms, his head, and the rest of his rapidly disappearing body. The dolphin swallowed again, moving its body in a sinuous ess in the water to keep his gear from catching in its jaws or throat, and with another gulp his swim fins protruded from either corner of its beak. There was no cold water against his suit at all now, just the sweltering heat of the predatory dolphin. One more gulp and wriggle did it. Joey slipped into the dolphin's lengthy stomach, feeling it creak as it stretched around its huge meal. His legs still lay in the gullet from the knees down but even if it couldn't digest him, it had certainly managed to kill him. What would they think if it perished from its efforts and they cut open a bloated dolphin and found an entire man inside? He had been too confident in his drysuit, though. It was virtually water tight, but his head and hands were in a separate hood and gloves respectively. There was an insistent tingle as stomach acids found their way into the gaps, spreading over his hands and neck. It was going to take a while. It would have to digest him a little at a time, hands and head first, then its stomach could work on his arms and torso as the acids ate their way down through the now exposed openings. Then, as his body softened and was dissolved, room would finally be made for his legs. Joey squirmed, too confined by the tight-squeezing stomach and the flesh and fat outside it to cause the dolphin any discomfort but unable to remain still. How had this happened? Why didn't anyone know about man-eating dolphins? Something pressed against the side, or perhaps the belly of the dolphin, and Joey grunted as the sudden pressure forced him against the sea mammal's spine. He was too focused on the sting as acid ate its way in around his mask to realize what was happening at first, but even in a dolphin the rhythmic motion could be only one thing. Full of a man nearly half its weight, the dolphin was still having sex. There was a Bluetooth microphone in his rebreather he rarely used as it distorted his voice to near unintelligibility, but he bit down to click it on. He managed to wriggle the camera so it dimly showed the folds of flesh pressed against his side and their motion as the dolphin humped and began to speak using the little air he had left. "My name is Joey Hall, and what you're seeing is the inside of the dolphin that is digesting me. If this record survives, watch out for a team of a small dolphin and the leopard seal that is fucking her right now... " ***** "I wasn't sure you could do it," Natiq growled. The human made a remarkably large bulge in Salome's perfectly streamlined body. He smiled as she burped up a swim fin. "Better hope the other one comes up too, " he said. "And that boxy eye-thing. I've shit out a fin before and it's no fun at all." Salome was still trying to get her meal settled, arching and straightening her body. The great bulge slithered a few inches further down her belly, human skull and shoulders bulging through her hide and shifting as the man struggled. Salome looked uncomfortable but she'd still managed to swallow a man half her size whole. Digesting it would be just as hard but Natiq was sure the man wouldn't get out of there the same way he got in. Hopefully the parts of the false hide the human wore, and its various other tools, would come out the front way instead of the more painful alternative. "I notice you're not saying 'You're right, Salome, it -is- possible to shoot a penguin off my dick into my mouth," she teased. "I did all the work," he complained, but wilted when she glared at him. "All right, except coming up with the idea and chasing the thing to me. You were right, Salome, it was fun.". The big bird was barely visible as a bulge in his middle, less than a tenth his mass and swallowed effortlessly compared to Salome's difficult meal. "And I thought of luring the man close, too," she chittered. "I admit it, you're the brains of the operation. The sleek, beautiful brains." Other seals would most likely call him a pervert for taking a dolphin as his lover but he didn't much care what other seals thought. He'd swallowed more than one who annoyed him, including another sea leopard or two. Salome for her part badly wanted to eat a fellow dolphin, but not a little one. She wanted one of the ones she disliked, and they were all bigger than her. Well, if she could digest a whole man when half of him started out in her throat still, then maybe - She brushed by in front of him, belly swollen, her skin around the genital slit pink with arousal. She twisted to look at him but he had already gotten the message. With a twitch of his flippers he was next to her, and his fingery foreflippers reached out to pull her belly against his own. "My meal is still wriggling," she chittered, then squeaked as he unsheathed into her. He was bigger than a dolphin, but she took his shaft with anything but complaint. "So is mine," he growled as he began to thrust. She arched to meet him, two muscular streamlined bodies meeting in the cold water. Each could feel the prey struggling inside the other and wriggling prey, in any belly, aroused her. It wasn't the only thing. "I could have you now," he growled. "I have you tight in my grip. If I want, I could have a dolphin and her human in my belly with the penguin in little more time than it takes me to come." "Promises, promises," she giggled, and he held her as she met his thrusts. He had digested half a dozen or so dolphins now, but he didn't think he'd be digesting this one any time soon.
