CHRYSALIS MODELS: PART ONE - KIERAN
The sterile, recycled air of the accounting firm, McKinley, Pierce & Sons, was a constant hum in the back of Ethanās throat. It tasted of printer toner, despair, and the faint, acrid tang of cheap instant coffee that had been sitting on the warmer for six hours. He was a 32-year-old Senior Financial Analyst, a title that sounded far more important than it actually was. His world was a landscape of spreadsheets, pivot tables, and quarterly reports that no one read but everyone demanded. The highlight of his existence was the fifteen-minute walk from his glass-and-steel corporate prison to the underground station, a brief respite where he could pretend he was a human being and not a cog in a machine of numbers.
Ethan was average in every conceivable way. Average height, average build, with a face that was pleasing enough but utterly forgettable. He had a receding hairline he concealed with a carefully combed-over style of dull brown hair, a wardrobe of grey, navy, and charcoal suits bought from the same department store sale, and a soul that felt as if it had been bleached of all color by the relentless fluorescent lighting of his office.
He was trudging home, his mind a fog of annual targets and a potential buyout that would probably cost him his job, when the world abruptly stopped being mundane. A man had stepped directly into his path, seemingly from nowhere.
He was tall and lithe, with an elegance that was almost predatory. He wore a perfectly tailored charcoal suit that probably cost more than Ethanās monthly rent, and his face was a study in sharp, angular lines. But it was the manās eyes that caught Ethan, a disturbing shade of pale blue that seemed to see right through him, not at him, but through him, as if appraising the very molecular structure of his being.
āEthan, isnāt it?ā the man said, his voice a silken baritone. It wasn't a question.
Ethan stopped, startled. āI⦠yes? Do I know you?ā
The man smiled, a thin, practiced expression that didn't reach his eyes. "No, not yet. My name is Patrick. Iām a talent scout. For Chrysalis Models."
Ethan blinked, a short, incredulous laugh escaping him. āModels? I think youāve made a mistake. I donāt⦠I work in finance. Iām 32.ā
Patrickās gaze never wavered. He looked Ethan up and down, and Ethan felt an odd, shivering sensation, as if an invisible hand were measuring him. āIām quite aware of your age and profession, Ethan. I have a dossier on you. And I know exactly what Iām looking for. You have⦠structure. A strong bone structure thatās currently hidden under a layer of⦠corporate exhaustion. Weāre looking for a specific look. A raw, powerful, masculine energy. And you have the potential for it. The raw material is there.ā
Ethan shook his head, the encounter feeling increasingly surreal. āIām really not interested. I have a job, and this is⦠this is a bit weird, if Iām honest.ā He tried to step aroundĀ Patrick, but the man moved with him, a dancerās grace blocking his path.
āWe are offering one million dollars,ā Patrick said, his voice as smooth and cool as a marble floor. āA flat fee for a six-month contract. You would be the face of a new campaign for our premier athletic client. No experience necessary. Weāll supply the training, the styling, everything. You just need to be⦠yourself. Or, rather, who you could be.ā
The number hung in the air between them, a shimmering, impossible figure. One million. It was more money than Ethan would make in the next twenty years. It was a down payment on a house, a new life, an escape. His world, which had been a dull, predictable grey, suddenly flickered with vibrant, impossible color. He thought of his cramped apartment, his beat-up car, the fifty thousand dollars in student loan debt that clung to him like a curse. He thought of his boss, a man named Henderson who made Patrick seem warm and fuzzy.
āOne⦠million?ā Ethan repeated, his voice barely a whisper. The skepticism was warring with a greed so potent it felt like a physical force.
āIn an escrow account,ā Patrick confirmed. āHalf upfront. You can verify it with your own lawyers. We have a car waiting. Come, have a look at the studio. No obligation. Just a look.ā He gestured to a sleek, black town car idling at the curb, its windows tinted so dark they were like polished obsidian.
Ethanās logical mind, the one that had served him so well in the world of pivot tables and quarterly audits, was screaming at him. This was a scam. It was too good to be true. People didn't just get offered a million dollars for walking down the street.
But the other part of him, the part that was bone-tired of the grey suit and the grey life, was shouting louder. It was a fantasy, and he decided, for one foolish, wonderful moment, to let himself live it. He nodded, a jerky, uncertain movement. He didnāt notice the predatory glint of satisfaction in Patrickās pale eyes.
The carās interior was a sanctuary of leather and soft music. It smelled expensive, like sandalwood and success. Patrick didnāt speak, just sat across from Ethan, his pale eyes fixed on him with an unnerving intensity, like an artist studying a block of marble, already envisioning the statue within.
They drove for twenty minutes, through the familiar streets of the financial district and into a more fashionable, avant-garde part of the city. The car pulled into an underground garage beneath a building that looked like a giant, shattered prism of smoked glass. The studio, when they emerged from a private elevator, was a vast, white, sterile space, as quiet as a church and as cold as a morgue. The air was cool, and it smelled of hairspray, expensive cologne, and the faint, clean scent of ozone.
It was filled with a humming, silent energy. Half a dozen people, all impossibly beautiful and dressed in black, moved with quiet efficiency. A photographer with a shock of white hair adjusted a massive, complex camera. A stylist with severe cheekbones hung up a rack of clothes. Another person was carefully arranging a gleaming set of dumbbells on a pristine white plinth.
āThis is where the magic happens,ā Patrick announced, his voice echoing in the cavernous space. āNow, the concept for this campaign is simple. Itās raw, modern masculinity. The power of the modern athlete. We want to strip away the artifice and get to the primal core. You, Ethan, are going to be our⦠everyman. The canvas on which we paint our masterpiece.ā
Ethan, feeling a bit like a lab rat entering a maze, just nodded, his eyes wide. The white space was dizzying.
A stylist, a woman named Chloe with jet-black hair and a silver ring in her nose, approached him. Her smile was professional, utterly detached. āEthan, this way to the changing suite. We have a couple of looks for you to try.ā
He followed her into a smaller, white room that held a comfortable chair, a full-length mirror, and a rail of clothes. The atmosphere in the changing suite was different - more intimate, but still clinical. She handed him a garment bag.
āFirst look,ā she said. āJust a base. Weāll see how it moves on you.ā
Ethan opened the bag. Inside was a pair of stylish, sleek boxer briefs made from a silky, black microfiber. They looked expensive, a far cry from the six-pack of cheap cotton Hanes he had at home. He felt a flicker of self-consciousness. āYou want me to⦠model underwear?ā
Chloe gave an indifferent shrug. āItās a premium athletic line. Boxer-briefs are their signature piece. Just put them on. The pants and hoodie are next.ā
Ethan stepped behind a thin, white curtain. He stripped off his own grey boxer-briefs - the fabric felt cheap and coarse in his hands compared to the pair he was about to put on. He pulled the new ones on. They were snug, incredibly comfortable, and immediately made his middle-aged physique look better than it had any right to. He felt a strange tingle against his skin, like a mild static charge. The sensation was peculiar, but he dismissed it as nerves.
He stepped back out, feeling awkward. Chloe looked him up and down, her face impassive. āFine.ā She then handed him a black tracksuit hoodie and a pair of black tracksuit pants. āHereās the second look. Put the hoodie on with no shirt underneath. Leave it unzipped. We want to show off some⦠potential.ā
The hoodie was thick, soft on the inside, with a sleek, matte-black exterior. The pants were a matching, perfectly cut, relaxed-fit track pant. He slipped them on, and then pulled the heavy, comfortable hoodie over his bare chest. The fabric was heavenly against his skin, and again, a subtle, almost pleasant buzz began to emanate from the clothes.
He looked in the mirror. He saw the same old Ethan, but in expensive sportswear. The man in the mirror looked a bit ridiculous, an aging accountant trying to dress like a much cooler, younger guy. He sighed. This was a mistake. He was going to look like a complete idiot.
āShoes,ā Chloe said, placing a box before him. He opened it to reveal a pair of stylish, all-black Nike trainers. They were sleek, with a futuristic sole and subtle branding. āThe finishing touch.ā
He sat down and pulled them on. The fit was perfect, almost custom-made. As he laced them up, the buzzing feeling that had started with the boxers began to intensify.
And then, the world began to blur.
It didnāt happen instantly. It began with a warmth in his groin, centered right where the silky black boxers sat. The warmth was pleasant, but intense, spreading outwards like a slow, luxurious wave of heat. He felt a stirring, a pressure that made him gasp slightly. He looked down and saw, with a mixture of awe and horror, the front of his new tracksuit pants beginning to tent, a prominent, thick ridge forming. It didn't stop at a normal state of arousal. It kept growing, the fabric of the boxers and the track pants straining against an endowment that was rapidly becoming absurdly, impossibly large. He was hard, harder than heād ever been in his life, the sensation a potent, primal throb that was both shocking and deeply, profoundly good.
āWhat theā¦ā he started to say, but his voice sounded strange in his own ears. It was a bit deeper, a bit rougher.
Then, the warmth in his groin began to spread up his body, a torrent of heat that seemed to be liquefying him, making him feel both unbelievably strong and terrifyingly weak. The tickle in his scalp started first. It was an intense, maddening itch. He raised a hand to his head and felt his hair. The long, brown locks were⦠shortening. He could feel the strands retracting, the texture changing, becoming thicker and coarser. With a soft, rustling sound, like dry leaves, the hair at the sides of his head began to fall away, leaving the skin smooth, razored. He could feel the sharp, clean line of a fade forming, the top of his hair bunching up into a thick, soft mass of dark, almost black hair. He watched, transfixed, as the short, messy style took shape - a trendy, modern cut with shaved sides and back and a thick, textured crop on top. It was the haircut of a young, confident, and thoroughly modern man. A perfect chavvy jock cut.
A searing, focused pain shot through his left eyebrow, making him flinch. A thin, straight slit appeared in the thick, dark eyebrow, a deliberate, unmistakable scar that was the hallmark of a bad-boy aesthetic. It looked utterly intentional and cool. The rest of his eyebrows darkened to a jet-black, mirroring the sudden, shockingly dark color of his hair.
His face began to ache. He felt the bones shift, the skin re-draw itself. The receding hairline was a distant memory. The subtle wrinkles around his eyes, the sag in his jawline, the slight puffiness from years of corporate life - it all smoothed, tightened, and disappeared. He felt his jawline sharpen, becoming a hard, square-cut angle, and his chin filled out, becoming prominent and strong. The skin became flawless, a healthy, tanned olive tone where there had been a pasty, office-worker pallor. Any hint of stubble, any trace of the need to shave, evaporated completely. His cheeks felt hollowed, giving his face a sharp, angular, sculpted look. When his lips, now slightly fuller, parted in a gasp, his teeth were perfectly white and straight, a dazzling, movie-star smile.
He stared into the mirror, but the man staring back was a complete stranger.
The strangerās body was doing the same thing. He was shrinking. Not in stature - he actually seemed to be getting a fraction of an inch taller, his posture straightening and elongating - but he felt his overall mass become more compact, more dense. The soft, doughy layer of fat around his middle melted away, and he felt his abdominal muscles beneath his skin clench and knit together, forming a tight, rippling six-pack. His chest swelled and hardened, the pectoral muscles becoming thick, sculpted plates with a smooth, hairless surface. His shoulders broadened, his back became a landscape of hard muscle, his arms grew thicker, the biceps and triceps developing a solid, powerful curve. He was no longer a soft, out-of-shape corporate drone. He was a solid, built, athletic specimen, a body sculpted for action, for power, for sports. All the body hair heād ever had - the sparse dusting on his chest, the little patch on his legs - vanished, leaving his skin impossibly smooth, taut, and tanned.
He was younger. The weariness, the experience, the soul-sapping cynicism of 32 years just⦠drained out of him, leaving a fresh, vibrant, and terrifyingly empty vessel. The hard-won knowledge of accounting, of corporate politics, of the simple mundane facts of his adult life⦠it all evaporated. Replaced by a thrilling, potent, and utterly simplistic knowledge. He knew the best protein shakes, the most effective gym routines, how to strike a pose that would get the most likes on his latest Instagram post. He knew the names of the hottest clubs, the best ways to pick up a girl at a bar, and the sheer, unadulterated power of his own sexuality. All the complexity, the nuance, the years of emotional baggage and life experience - it vanished like a puff of smoke, replaced by a vibrant, powerful, and simple world of physical gratification, social media validation, and raw, undiluted sex drive.
His mind, his very consciousness, was being overwritten.
He stumbled back, clutching his head. Fragments of his old life - his motherās voice, the face of a girlfriend from college, the weight of a quarterly report - flashed and then dissolved, lost in a sea of new, alien, and utterly compelling memories. He saw himself on a football pitch, scoring a winning goal in a hail of shouts from his mates. He saw himself in a nightclub, a different, gorgeous girl on his arm every night. He saw himself in front of his smartphone, filming a workout for his thousands of adoring followers, his body glistening with sweat, his grin a cocky, arrogant slash across his face. He saw his own reflection in a thousand different mirrors, flexing and posing, a symphony of self-love.
He tried to hold on. He tried to remember the grey suit, the office, the name Ethan. But the name felt foreign, a piece of ill-fitting clothing. He fought to recall the details of his life, but it was like trying to hold water in his hands. His grip on the man heād been was gone. The name Ethan slipped away, dissolving in the surge of the new identity. A new name, a better, more powerful name, rose to take its place, filling the now-vacant space in his consciousness.
Kieran.
His name was Kieran.
He staggered back to the full-length mirror, and the stranger was gone. In his place was Kieran. He was beautiful. He was powerful. And he was completely, utterly, breathtakingly horny.
His cock throbbed, still achingly hard, a massive, impossible monument to his new, youthful virility. He could feel the heat radiating from it, the weight of it pressing against the black track pants. The feeling was maddening, a constant, low-level hum of pure animalistic desire that was now the engine of his entire being. Every thought, every impulse, was filtered through a lens of sex. The curves of the studio lights, the sensual shape of a dumbbell, the way the black fabric of the hoodie felt against his bare skin - it all sent jolts of pure, raw lust straight to his groin. He was a walking, talking, massive erection, and he was ready to find a use for it.
He couldnāt stop touching himself. He ran his hand over his smooth, defined chest, feeling the hard muscle flex under his palm. He traced the deep V of his hips, leading down to the straining fabric of his pants. A low, involuntary groan escaped his lips. It was a guttural, unthinking sound of pure pleasure. He was a god. He was the king of the fucking world. He was 22, he was gorgeous, and he had a cock that could make a porn star weep with envy. He was gods gift to humanity, and any girl who saw him should consider herself lucky just to be in his presence.
He stepped out of the changing room, his new, predatory swagger already in place. The feeling of being watched, admired, was as essential to him now as breathing.
Patrick was waiting, a satisfied smirk on his thin lips. The photographer and stylist were watching him with undisguised approval. āWell, well,ā Patrick purred. āKieran. I knew it. You were perfect raw material. The clothes⦠they merely activated your potential. You look incredible.ā
Kieran - and he was Kieran now, there was no other self to even question the statement - grinned. It was a wide, arrogant, utterly confident grin that showed off his perfect teeth. āYeah, man, theyāre well fit, like. The gearās mint. Feels proper good on, you know? The fabricās sick.ā His voice was richer, deeper than Ethanās, with a flat, urban twang. There was no trace of the accountantās clipped, professional tone left. He swaggered over to the set, the movement pure, animalistic grace. āWhatās the shot, yeah? Gonna show off this masterpiece, then?ā He gestured down to his own body.
The photographer, a man named Stefan, looked utterly delighted. āThatās the spirit, Kieran! Just be natural. Be you. We want raw, aggressive, masculine energy. I want to capture the power of a modern athlete. A man at his peak.ā
The shoot was a blur of lights and shouted directions. But Kieran didnāt need directions. He was a natural. Every pose was instinctive, a pure expression of his physical power and sexual magnetism. He arched his back, his abs rippling under the black hoodie. He ran a hand through his short, choppy hair. He flexed his biceps, a look of mock-surprise on his face as if heād just discovered his own strength. He stared into the lens with a lazy, hooded, seductive gaze that promised he was going to give you the best night of your life and forget your name by morning. He pulled down the zipper of his hoodie, just a little, to reveal more of his sculpted, smooth chest. He posed with a dumbbell, his jaw set in an expression of pure, primal aggression. The photographer was in his element, snapping away.
āIncredible! Fuck, yes, Kieran! Thatās it! The intensity!ā Stefan shouted, his camera clicking like a machine gun.
Chloe, the stylist, was entranced. She walked up to him, her clinical detachment gone, replaced with something darker, warmer. āYouāre⦠youāre a natural. More than a natural.ā
Kieranās grin widened. āCourse I am, babe. Itās all in the genes, innit? Or the⦠whatās the word? The- the aesthetic.ā He was proud of himself for remembering that word. It felt modern, cool. He didnāt understand the nuance of it, just that it was a good word to describe his own fucking awesome looks. He gave her a wink. āAnd the trackies, obviously. Theyāre fucking proper sexy, yeah?ā
The shoot wrapped up an hour later. Kieran was buzzing with an energy that was almost manic. He hadnāt just posed for photos; heād been worshipped. The ecstasy of being the center of attention, of having cameras pointed at him, was a drug more potent than anything heād ever experienced. He signed the contract without even reading it. The numbers, the details - they were meaningless. The only thing that mattered was that it was a chance for the world to look at him. That was his purpose now. His sole, glorious, narcissistic purpose. The old Ethanās concern over a million dollars, over the practicalities of life, was an alien concept. Money was just a consequence of being famous, and being famous was the entire point.
His life became a whirlwind.
His old apartment was a distant, irrelevant thought. Chrysalis Models had arranged for a penthouse suite in a hip, new part of town. It was sleek, modern, and utterly impersonal, a perfect canvas for his new persona. The walls were white, the furniture minimalist. The only personal touches were the massive, floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the bedroom and the state-of-the-art gym equipment that arrived the next day. He spent hours in front of those mirrors, flexing, posing, sending videos to his new social media accounts.
He had to build his brand, he knew that much without understanding why. It was just an instinct. The manager at Chrysalis, a cool woman named Sasha, had set up his accounts. Instagram: @Kieran__The__Chav. TikTok: @Kieran_Official. Within the first week, his follower count had exploded. A picture of him shirtless, glistening with sweat after a workout, his black tracksuit pants slung low on his hips, got fifty thousand likes in an hour. A video of him doing a simple bicep curl with a challenging weight, his face a mask of concentration, got a hundred thousand views. He was an overnight sensation. Every post was a simple, unadorned celebration of himself. He didnāt have to think. He just had to be. And being Kieran was as natural as breathing.
He went out every night, a predator on the hunt. The cityās club scene, with its thumping bass and flashing lights, was his natural habitat. He wore his black tracksuit, the hoodie unzipped, the trainers gleaming. He was the perfect hybrid of chav and jock, a walking, talking piece of cocky masculinity. He was rough, confident, and exuded a primitive, raw sex appeal that was catnip to women.
Heād walk into a club, and heads would turn. He could feel the eyes on him, hear the whisper of his name. He didnāt even have to try. Heād just lean against the bar, a bottle of beer in his hand, his jaw set, his eyes scanning the crowd with the predatory focus of a wolf. Heād look for the prettiest girl in the room, the one with the tightest dress and the most challenging smile. Heād catch her eye, and a slow, confident smirk would spread across his face. Heād wait for her to make the first move. They always did.
He was never without a girl, a different one each night, or sometimes two. The old Ethan, the man who struggled with conversation, who was riddled with anxieties, didnāt exist. Kieran didnāt have anxiety. He had confidence. He didnāt have conversation. He had a presence. He would say things like, āAlright, babe?ā or āYou look proper fit tonight, you do,ā or āWanna get out of here?ā and it was enough. The sheer force of his physicality and his unwavering, simple self-belief was his entire arsenal, and it was devastatingly effective.
Heād take them back to his penthouse, his body burning with a need so primal it was almost painful. His massive libido, the relentless, twenty-two-year-old engine of pure lust, was a constant, insistent companion. He would fuck with a rough, consuming intensity that left his partners breathless and exhausted. He was a force of nature, a physical phenomenon. He didnāt care about their names, their jobs, their hopes or dreams. He didnāt care about their pleasure beyond the mirror it held up to his own performance. He cared about the feeling, the physical release, the validation of having conquered another beautiful thing. The sex was incredible, pure, and utterly empty. It was a perfect reflection of who he had become. He was a beautiful, empty vessel, filled with nothing but a burning, unquenchable fire.
One night, he was out with a few of his new āmatesā - other lads who were either models, influencers, or just hangers-on who worshipped his newfound fame. They were a pack, a tribe of alpha males, swaggering through the club, shouting at each other over the music. Kieran was the leader, the undisputed king. He could feel the power, the dominance. He could feel his own body, so young and strong. He could feel his cock pressing against the fabric of his tracksuit pants, a constant, pleasurable pressure that reminded him of his power. He thought about the girl heād spotted, a stunning brunette in a little black dress, and a rush of pure, animalistic lust flooded his system.
And in that moment, as he leaned against the bar, a flicker of something else stirred in the depths of his consciousness. A shadow. A whisper. An echo.
The echo of a man named Ethan.
It wasn't a clear memory, not a thought. It was just a fleeting feeling of⦠emptiness. A sense that something was missing, a hollow space in the core of his being. A sense that he should be feeling something other than this simple, unadulterated lust. For just a second, he felt a chill, a disconcerting sense of disconnection from his own body. It was a ghost, a remnant of a soul that had been ruthlessly evicted.
He shook his head, the image of a grey office and a tired man in a grey suit flickering in his mind before dissolving like smoke. What the fuck was that? He pushed the thought away, irritated. Probably just the booze. He wasn't a thinker. He was a doer. A man of action. He had no fucking time for existential bullshit.
āYou alright, Kieran?ā one of his mates, a lad named Lee, shouted.
Kieranās grin, predatory and arrogant, snapped back into place. āFuckinā A, mate,ā he said, his voice a deep, confident rumble. āNever better. Just lookinā for a bit of action, innit? That bird over there⦠sheās proper fit. Iām gonna go, you knowā¦ā he made a crude gesture with his hips, āsee if sheās up for it.ā
Lee laughed, a stupid, sycophantic sound. The echo of Ethan, that brief, inexplicable moment of loss, was gone. It had to be, because Kieran didn't have a past. He only had the present, and the present was a fucking fantastic time to be alive. He was 22, he was famous, and he was ready to live his best life. He was Kieran. And Kieran was an icon in the making.
He was the perfect creation of Chrysalis Models.
He swaggered through the crowd, his hips swaying, his eyes locked on his target, his body buzzing with anticipation. The music was a thumping soundtrack to his existence, the flashing lights a celebration of his face and his form. As he approached the girl, she looked at him, and there it was - that look of recognition, of desire. He knew that look. He thrived on it. It was the only confirmation he needed that he existed, that he was real.
āAlright, babe,ā he said, his voice a low, confident growl. āWhatās a fit bird like you doinā in a place like this on her own?ā
She smiled, a perfect, practiced smile. He leaned in, his body radiating heat and pheromones. His mind was a perfect blank, a wall of pure, unadulterated self. There was nothing else.
The echo was gone. Ethan was gone.
There was only Kieran.
