Bobby set the makeup case and suitcase down on the bed. Opening the
|
|
luggage, he began to lay out a few of the things he would need for his
|
|
session of self-feminization. His legs, underarms, and body hair had
|
|
already been shaved, leaving his body soft, smooth, and ladylike. He had
|
|
spent time at home plucking his eyebrows to feminine perfection, but had no
|
|
need to shave his face for he had undergone electrolysis and no longer had
|
|
any beard to shave.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, Bobby was so dedicated to his crossdressing that he had begun a
|
|
self-imposed regimen of estrogen therapy. A year of female hormones had
|
|
softened his skin and body tone considerably and had given him a sweet,
|
|
girlish face, meaning that, in his everyday life, he no longer looked very
|
|
masculine at all. He was usually mistaken for a girl, which thrilled him
|
|
immensely. With his new face, Bobby had given himself a convincingly
|
|
feminine canvas upon which to apply his makeup -- and anything which added
|
|
to the authenticity of his ladylike appearance had priority in his life.
|
|
His nipples and areolas had grown larger, as would those of any girl
|
|
undergoing puberty. His breasts had only begun to blossom, and based upon
|
|
his research he estimated that another fourteen months of hormone ingestion
|
|
would result in his having a very respectable bustline. For the moment, he
|
|
needed to wear breast forms when dressed, but Bobby looked forward to that
|
|
near-future day when he could amply fill the cups of his bra on his own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He hoped within three years to have saved enough money to allow him to
|
|
undergo complete sex change surgery in Trinidad, Colorado. He knew that
|
|
before that time he would have to spend a year living a woman's life in
|
|
preparation for his permanent alteration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He looked forward to that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine, a close female friend of his, looked at the clothes he had
|
|
brought. She herself had a voluptuous and perfect figure, with a bustline
|
|
that left nothing to be desired. The way the lovely blonde filled her
|
|
nurse's uniform while at work each day had encouraged many a male patient
|
|
to recover. "What a pretty dress," she complimented, holding up his black
|
|
jacket dress with its sheer sleeves. "I'm jealous. How much was it?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"About seventy dollars," Bobby answered. "Plus the thirty five I spent
|
|
having new sleeves put on it. I think it really turned out well."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It sure did. I might ask to borrow it." She picked up his Caboodle
|
|
cosmetics case. "Do you want to go ahead and get started?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sure," he said, picking up a few underthings. "And look...I can't tell
|
|
you how much I appreciate this. I would have gone nuts if I hadn't gotten
|
|
to dress as a woman this weekend. It's really hard to explain to someone
|
|
who hasn't lived with this, but my ego seems to be feminine, and it just
|
|
has to come out or I just..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hey," Catherine said. "There's nothing wrong with emulating women.
|
|
We're always emulating men..." She held up his dress. "Besides, this'll
|
|
look good on you."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Think so? I tried it on at home, and it seemed to fit well..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, honey, yes. It's gorgeous. This is really going to be fun...I love
|
|
seeing you transform yourself into a lady. I'd even like to do this on a
|
|
regular basis, if you want to...it'll be like having a new girlfriend. You
|
|
know, if you moved in with me you could just stay dressed as a girl all the
|
|
time. I already told you that you're welcome to wear anything of mine that
|
|
fits you."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I'd love to live with you," Bobby said. "I've always wanted to know a
|
|
girl I could stay dressed up around...and it would be fun to share your
|
|
wardrobe." He handed her the cosmetics case as she set down the dress.
|
|
"If you want, you can put that on the bathroom vanity counter. I need to
|
|
get into my bra and girdle."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You go right ahead. Let me know when you're ready." Catherine left the
|
|
room, closing the door behind her. Bobby got out of his clothes and began
|
|
the process of becoming a woman.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He tucked his penis back, pointing it backward and pressing it up against
|
|
his crotch while pushing his testicles up inside his body, into the vacant
|
|
area behind them. After putting a maxi-pad into his panties, he pulled them
|
|
on tightly to help hold his genitals up out of the way. Next, he slipped
|
|
into a pair of silky sheer pantyhose with a light control top; they
|
|
additionally secured his crotch, leaving it as smooth and flat as any
|
|
woman's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby pulled on his girdle. It added a little bit of a figure to his
|
|
form, and made sure that everything he had put on thus far stayed in place.
|
|
His crotch was flat and smooth, with no sign of maleness. This was
|
|
important, for his clothes had to fit right and having a woman's smoothness
|
|
there made a big difference in that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Opening up the two boxes he had brought with him, he took out his silicone
|
|
breast forms and slipped them into the pockets of his mastectomy bra. They
|
|
created a natural, convincing bustline, which moved and felt authentic. He
|
|
slipped into the bra and made a few final adjustments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He opened the bedroom door and went into the bathroom, where his cosmetics
|
|
case awaited him. "Catherine ?" he called, getting out his foundation and
|
|
powder. "I'm ready to get started."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Coming," she called from the living room. "Want anything to drink?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Iced tea would be great if you've got it."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby took a seat in front of the mirror. Securing his hair back with a
|
|
headband, he began to apply his Natural Cover foundation to his face, neck,
|
|
and upper chest. The foundation went on evenly, giving him a flawless,
|
|
ivory complexion. Bobby used a darker shade of base to create artistic
|
|
shadows, defining his features in a feminine fashion, and applied a very
|
|
light, almost white shade to create highlights. He set the makeup with a
|
|
special powder, one that would make the foundation durable and waterproof.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine entered and set his drink down onto the counter. "Here, hon,"
|
|
she said. She noticed the makeup on his chest. "Why do you have to put it
|
|
down there?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"That way, I can use a deeper shade to create the illusion of a deep
|
|
cleavage," he answered. "Wait 'till you see. It works great."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a few minutes, the powder was set. Bobby used a large brush to dust
|
|
away the excess, leaving a perfect base upon which to perform his makeup
|
|
magic. He began with eye shadow, brushing a deep gray into the crease
|
|
above each eyelid; for a dramatic, sexy effect, he carried the color up
|
|
and out in a sweeping fashion, creating seductive shadows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A lighter shade of frosted plum went onto his lids, followed by a little
|
|
frosted pink in the center of each. The plum also went above the dark
|
|
gray, and above that went the pink again. He used a brush to skillfully
|
|
blend them all together where the colors met, creating a smooth transition
|
|
from shade to shade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Black eyeliner defined his eyes. Again, he carried the liner out beyond
|
|
his eyelids slightly, blending into the upswept shadows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You're looking great," Catherine commented, learning all she could about
|
|
his makeup techniques. She loved wearing makeup, and wanted to learn all
|
|
she could from him, for he was quite skilled in cosmetics application.
|
|
Life as a crossdresser had taught him how to overcome his male features,
|
|
and his talents were easily adaptable to true women.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He applied his mascara, making his long lashes black and longer still. A
|
|
careful touch of the wand even brought out his lower lashes, framing his
|
|
eyes with dark feathers of feminine beauty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His eyes were complete. Catherine looked at his reflection, amazed by his
|
|
lovely gaze. He took an eyebrow pencil and defined his brows into perfect,
|
|
feminine arches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next to go on was blush and contour. Using a plum shade, he applied the
|
|
color skillfully, creating the illusion of lovely cheekbones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I have to keep reminding myself that you're not a woman," Catherine
|
|
said. "You look so good and seem so natural doing this..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Stop reminding yourself. I am a woman, okay? "
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You know, I could pierce your ears if you want. You'd be able to wear
|
|
pierced earrings like I do...there are a lot more styles available in
|
|
pierced than in clip-on."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Really? That would be great." Choosing a burgundy lip pencil, Bobby
|
|
lined his lips until they became a perfect angel's bow in shape. He then
|
|
picked up a tube of frosted indigo pink lipstick and applied it with a lip
|
|
brush, filling in the line perfectly and creating supple lips that were
|
|
very sexy and very, very feminine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Catherine, could you bring my wig from the bedroom, please?" he asked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sure, honey," she gladly answered. "I want to be a part of this any way
|
|
I can."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a minute, she returned with the wig. It was dark blonde and very full,
|
|
nearly as wide as Bobby's shoulders and styled in a very ladylike fashion.
|
|
Tucking his own hair up under it, he pulled it on, creating the perfect
|
|
female frame for his woman's features. Catherine helped him by securing it
|
|
in place with bobby pins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ta-da," he sang. "That's that part of it..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I swear," Catherine began, a little amazed. "I'd never guess you
|
|
weren't a woman. You look so...natural."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"That's the point. If I didn't, this wouldn't be nearly as much fun...and
|
|
I wouldn't dare go out in public dressed up." Bobby walked back into the
|
|
bedroom and put on his black slip, then slid into the evening dress he had
|
|
brought. It was a black, two piece jacket dress, with sheer blousy sleeves
|
|
and a crepe texture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Almost there," he said, adjusting his clothes slightly in the mirror.
|
|
Bobby slipped into the pair of black, high heeled pumps he had brought and
|
|
took a final, overall look. He walked very naturally on the four-inch
|
|
heels, loving the way they made his legs look.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I can't believe it," Catherine said, gazing at his reflection. "It's a
|
|
definite improvement. I swear...you have no business at all being a man.
|
|
You're a woman as far as I can tell...I can't imagine you as anything else
|
|
right now." She looked upon him, loving the way he looked. He enjoyed his
|
|
reflection. "I guess you use the ladies room while you're out in public,
|
|
right?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Of course," he answered, spraying himself with perfume. He wore Woman by
|
|
Andron, liking its soft fragrance and loving that it contained female
|
|
pheromones. "If I tried to use the men's room dressed like this I'd get
|
|
arrested."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"None of the women in the ladies' room with you ever guessed your little
|
|
secret?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Not one. One time, a lady in the next stall even asked to borrow a
|
|
tampon...which, luckily, I just happened to have in my purse. I like
|
|
thinking about my needing them, you know? Anyway, I just passed one to her
|
|
under the partition, and she commented on how she loved my nails and asked
|
|
me where I'd had them done."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine smiled widely with absolute glee. "Are you serious?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Yes, hon. When I stand at the ladies room mirror with the other girls
|
|
and fix my lipstick, no one ever suspects a thing. And more than once,
|
|
I've been drawn into passing conversations about clothes, makeup, and men."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What did you say to them?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Once, this one lady -- I guess she was about twenty-six or so -- just
|
|
decided to unload to me about how wonderful her sex life was. I was
|
|
minding my own business, fixing my lips, and she just started to go into
|
|
detail about her boyfriend's cock size and everything. Told me she makes a
|
|
lot of noise during sex...I couldn't believe it."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What did you do?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I told her that my boyfriend liked to fuck me in the balcony at the
|
|
Midtown Cinema."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine laughed, amazed at Bobby's nerve. "You didn't! You really said
|
|
that?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sure. Besides, if I were a girl, that's one I'd really like to try."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I think I will. Anything else?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I told her how much I liked sucking cock."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine laughed. "You said that?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sure." Bobby looked into Catherine's eyes. "Because I do."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine was floored. She gazed at his utterly feminine visage, having
|
|
trouble reminding herself that this was not another girl before her. "No!
|
|
When was this? You do this a lot?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It's the one part of a woman's sex life I can share. I like going out as
|
|
a woman better than as a man...so, at least once a month, I try to spend a
|
|
weekend wearing only women's things, going to movies and restaurants and
|
|
going shopping. Sometimes, I can find a nice guy who'll believe I'm a girl
|
|
on my period, and, well, one thing leads to another and..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You don't go all the way on the first date, do you?" Catherine teased.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I'm not that kind of girl," Bobby laughed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine smiled, loving the story. "Did you like it?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Do you?" Catherine's coy smile was her answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ohhh," Bobby remembered. "Yes. I love it...it makes me feel
|
|
so...female."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Well, damn, girl, move in with me! Be my sister! You can have Cheryl's
|
|
old room. Then you can stay this way. You're too pretty to do anything
|
|
else."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Her compliment brought a smile to Bobby's pretty lips. "Thanks, honey.
|
|
Oh, how I'd love to know how it feels to actually live as a woman day in
|
|
and day out...having breasts, having my period and having babies.. I'd
|
|
especially like to know real sex as a woman...that must really be
|
|
wonderful."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It is. It's...nice," Catherine answered. "I guess it's pretty
|
|
different from what you've known."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Must be. I'd sure like a chance to feel it. You've heard of penis envy?
|
|
Well, I've got breast envy and vagina envy real bad. I'd give everything I
|
|
own to have a body with the same equipment you've got between your legs and
|
|
on your chest...just for a day. I'd give anything to be you."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You really mean that?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"More than I've ever meant anything." Catherine smiled at his answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby put on a pair of silver hoop earrings and a pearl necklace. He
|
|
slipped a few ladies rings onto his fingers, then pulled a small, pink
|
|
plastic box from the suitcase on the bed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"These are the last touch," he began, putting on the long, polished press-
|
|
on nails. "Mainly because it's really hard to get ready with them on." He
|
|
finished applying them, then admired his frosted pink nails as a woman
|
|
would. "What do you think?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Lovely, dear," Catherine began, speaking to him as if he really were a
|
|
girl. She stripped out of her sweater and slacks, preparing to change her
|
|
clothes for the evening.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Talk to me and treat me like a girlfriend," Bobby asked, "and call me by
|
|
a girl's name. I am a girl...okay?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Great!" Catherine said, loving this game. She liked the idea of having
|
|
a part-time girlfriend in him. "What do I call you?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I don't know...I've always liked the name 'Christy,'' though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Okay. You're Christy, now, as far as I'm concerned. And I mean that --
|
|
in every way. Since Angela moved away, I could use a new best girlfriend."
|
|
Catherine unfastened her bra and tossed it onto the bed, leaving herself
|
|
nearly naked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Deal."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They walked out into the living room. Catherine walked out into the room
|
|
still bare-breasted, wearing only her panties and pantyhose and holding a
|
|
clean bra. She really was treating Bobby as another woman. Bobby realized
|
|
that he was perceiving Catherine through the eyes of a female, as well,
|
|
looking upon her nearly naked body with no sexual arousal whatsoever --
|
|
just as a woman should.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine pulled the bra over her enviable, bouncing breasts and fastened
|
|
its hooks. "I was thinking maybe we could go to a restaurant," she said,
|
|
adjusting her bra straps. "In fact, if we went to a bar, you'd be sure to
|
|
get picked up by some guy. I'm not sure you wouldn't get hit on before I
|
|
do. Feel up to a little romance?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"If I had a pussy, I'd say yes. But, as I am, I don't know if that's a
|
|
good idea."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine dropped a black slip down over her attractive full-figured body.
|
|
Pulling on a dark blue dress she had previously laid over the back of the
|
|
couch, she then turned her back. "Would you mind zipping me, Christy?"
|
|
she asked, holding her hair up out of the way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As Bobby stood behind her and closed the zipper, Catherine continued.
|
|
"I've got a little surprise planned for you." Catherine turned around,
|
|
smiling widely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Like what? " Bobby asked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine picked up her purse and withdrew a small, crystalline bottle.
|
|
It was beautiful, like faceted, cut crystal, with a stopper. It appeared
|
|
to contain a pink liquid of some kind. "How pretty," Bobby remarked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Here," Catherine said, pulling the stopper and holding the bottle toward
|
|
Bobby. "Drink this."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby looked at the bottle. "What? What is it?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Trust me...just drink it." Bobby took it from her and put it to his
|
|
lips. In one swallow, it was gone. He handed the empty bottle back to
|
|
Catherine .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What was that?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Something special...it will help you be more convincing. Don't talk for
|
|
a couple of minutes. It's giving you a woman's voice."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby looked at her. A woman's voice? How was that possible?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Okay...go ahead. Say something," Catherine excitedly said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Well..." Bobby began.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He could not believe it. The voice that emerged from his supple lips was
|
|
one of feminine music, the voice of a beautiful girl. He smiled widely, as
|
|
did Catherine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby was astounded. "How does that stuff do this?" he asked in his new,
|
|
female voice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I'm not sure, to be honest," Catherine answered. "But it sure works,
|
|
doesn't it?" she asked, laughing a little. "I got it for you...from an
|
|
elderly friend of my grandmother's."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"This is wonderful," Bobby said, loving the sound of himself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The doorbell rang. "There's the other surprise I arranged for you," she
|
|
said, walking to the door. Opening it, she greeted a powerful hunk of a
|
|
man, who was absolutely gorgeous.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine began the introductions. "Brick Foster, this is Christy.
|
|
She's a friend of mine from Florida who just moved here. Christy, this is
|
|
Brick."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hello," Bobby said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hi."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Christy's going to be living with me for a little while, until she gets
|
|
settled in," Catherine told Brick. "I've been showing her around, helping
|
|
her to get to know the area."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"That's great. I think you'll like it here," he said to Bobby, enjoying
|
|
the beauty of the apparent woman. "Isn't Catherine wonderful?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby smiled, looking at his girl friend. "She sure is..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As Brick sat down on the sofa, Catherine led her new 'girlfriend' into the
|
|
kitchen.
|
|
"You're going to stay a woman for a while," she quietly said to Bobby.
|
|
"Remember what I said? For tonight, you're Christy...and I'm treating you
|
|
like her."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Okay if I use the phone? " Brick asked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sure," said Catherine. "It's on the end table." She whispered again to
|
|
Bobby. "I promised you I'd give you an evening as a woman," Catherine said
|
|
quietly, leaning over. "I'm serious about this...there's no turning back."
|
|
Brick, hanging up the phone, walked up to Catherine .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I don't have to work tomorrow, I just found out. I can stay late."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Great," Catherine said, smiling. "Christy's staying here, as I said, so
|
|
we can all really get to know each other." She gestured toward Bobby.
|
|
"Can I see you in the bedroom for a second, Christy?" Not knowing what to
|
|
expect, Bobby rose and followed her -- and Brick followed him with his
|
|
eyes. He fleetingly pictured himself in bed with the apparent woman, but
|
|
decided to behave himself and suppressed the thought.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the bedroom, Catherine closed the door. "Listen," she said to her
|
|
friend, "the stuff you drank..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In the little bottle?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Yes. That stuff has more punch than just changing your voice. I hope
|
|
you really meant it about wanting to experience true womanhood. You've
|
|
said it so many times..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What do you mean?" Bobby asked, confused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You'll see. I'm going to go down to the washateria and leave you two
|
|
alone for a while."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You're leaving me with Brick? What am I supposed to do?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In a few minutes, you'll know what to do." Catherine smiled knowingly.
|
|
"Tell me again what sex you want to be."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Just tell me...and mean it."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I want to be a woman. You know that."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine kissed Bobby on the forehead. "Congratulations, honey." The
|
|
beautiful woman left. Bobby sat on the bed weighing the situation, a
|
|
little confused. What did Catherine mean?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* * *
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Twenty minutes later, Catherine returned with an empty basket to find the
|
|
living room empty as well. There had, of course, never been any clothes of
|
|
hers at the washateria that day. She looked out of the apartment window
|
|
and saw Brick's car in the parking lot below. He had not left, she
|
|
realized, and she smiled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It worked, she thought, thrilled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As Catherine headed toward the bedroom, the sound of a squeaking bed and a
|
|
woman's voice filtered through the closed door, growing louder as she
|
|
approached. She heard a wet, rhythmic slapping sound that was very
|
|
familiar. Catherine listened, filled with the joy of knowing what was
|
|
happening beyond the door.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ohhhh...harder..." the woman's voice continued. "Yes! Oh, yes,
|
|
Brick..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine opened the door a little and peeked in. She wanted to cry out
|
|
in delight, but held her joy in check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The boy Bobby had been was gone forever, and in his place, on hands and
|
|
knees, was a gorgeous girl being fucked from behind by Brick. Her jiggling
|
|
breasts were very large and firm, with a youthful bounce that sexily
|
|
proclaimed her gender. Her body had taken on an unmistakable female glow
|
|
and classically girlish curves, creating a figure that was the feminine
|
|
ideal. She had soft, narrow shoulders and a shapely waist, which widened
|
|
into curvy hips and the grippable, rounded ass of a sexy girl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby's skin was soft and smooth, and her long, silken legs shone as
|
|
slippery ribbons of lamplight slid along them. Her gently-curling hair was
|
|
long, shiny, full, and a platinum blonde in color. Bobby's face was sheer
|
|
beauty personified, much prettier and more feminine than before, even
|
|
though it had already been quite attractive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brick was wildly pumping Bobby, forcefully sliding in and out of her tight
|
|
wetness as she hungrily held her ass high in the air for him. Bobby's hot,
|
|
lubricated pussy was getting an orgiastic trial by fire, taking the man's
|
|
entire eight inches as the thick, engorged penis pounded deeper and deeper
|
|
into her. The sloppy sound of his rod sliding in and out of her dripping
|
|
wetness filled the room.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naked except for Catherine's red high-heels, Bobby had taken position on
|
|
her hands and knees at the foot of the bed with her smooth, rounded
|
|
buttocks hanging well out over the edge. Brick was rhythmically impaling
|
|
the new woman on his huge, rigid penis, forcefully bouncing her sweat-
|
|
glossed ass against his groin as he tightly gripped the sides of Bobby's
|
|
waist and violently drove her back onto his hot cock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Theirs was heated, purely lustful animal sex, boy-fucking-girl like there
|
|
was no tomorrow -- and Bobby felt alive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tube of K-Y jelly that Catherine kept in the drawer of her bedside
|
|
table was open and on the bed. "Pump me harder!" Bobby cried out, so horny
|
|
that her voice sounded almost frantic. "Fill me with your cock..." Her
|
|
soft, immense breasts jiggled wildly as they hung freely and fleshily from
|
|
her chest, bumping erotically against her arms and each other. Her hard,
|
|
erect nipples tickled against the bedspread. The loud, sharp slap of
|
|
Brick's sweaty thighs impacting her slick, shiny ass was erotic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby spoke with an insatiable woman's lust. "Yes, Brick! Harder...oh,
|
|
fuck me harder...faster...ohhhhhh..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Yeah, baby..." Brick said in a low moan, conquering the woman. "You're
|
|
mine, now...a bitch like you needs a good fucking...just like Catherine
|
|
always does..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oooooh, yes...I need it, just like her..." Bobby moaned. "That's
|
|
Catherine's pussy your dick is in...fuck it the way you always do! Make me
|
|
feel what she feels!" Her voice wavered with each impact of his hips.
|
|
"I'm Catherine! Fuck me! Fuck me!!!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then, it happened.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, Catherine," he said, "I love fucking your hot pussy...squeeze my cock
|
|
with your hot pussy! I want to come inside you. Tell me how much you like
|
|
it, Catherine, tell me..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
" Harder, Brick...faster..." Dropping her head, looking back between
|
|
her dancing breasts and between her legs, Bobby saw an upside down view of
|
|
the base of his huge cock and his hairy balls as he mercilessly pounded her
|
|
pussy. It was the one thing she had longed for a lifetime to see, and the
|
|
sight of a man sexually pumping his reproductive rod into her was
|
|
overwhelmingly intoxicating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, yes...!" she screamed out in the passion of female heat, watching the
|
|
veined purple shaft of his stiff, slippery penis forcefully disappear into
|
|
her then partially pull out, over and over.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, baby...your pussy is so good..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, Brick...ram it into me..." Bobby continued. "Make me come...yes,
|
|
baby...make me come all over you." He fucked her even harder and faster,
|
|
holding the woman sexually captive around his cock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby looked down at her hands as her body was pounded forward with each
|
|
forceful thrust of the man behind her. Odd, she thought, noticing a tiny
|
|
heart-shaped birthmark on her left wrist. It's just like Catherine's --
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She looked up into the mirror that stretched across the headboard. She
|
|
saw the man behind her, his face contorted with sexual intensity as he
|
|
continued his merciless thrusting. Then she saw her own face.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was Catherine's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Confusion gripped Bobby, but that confusion was abruptly shoved aside by
|
|
the sudden fire of her orgasm. Every female nerve in Bobby's body was
|
|
screaming in passion. "Ohhhhh...yes! Come inside me...I want to feel you
|
|
coming inside me..." The lovers were breathing heavily and erratically,
|
|
and their climaxes were hitting hot and hard.
|
|
"I...I...think...I'm...coming...!" Bobby moaned, barely able to voice the
|
|
words. She pushed her soft ass hard into Brick's crotch, grinding her
|
|
pussy into his pubic hair as his cock made one last, deep plunge into her.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Locked together penis-in-pussy, their faces became contorted and they came
|
|
-- and Bobby's hot, vaginal juices bathed the man's throbbing cock even as
|
|
it once more exploded with its load of steaming semen. Eyes closed in
|
|
ecstasy, their genital muscles spasmed uncontrollably as they lived their
|
|
orgasms, and Bobby pushed with her abdominal muscles as if she were giving
|
|
birth. Bobby's hot, gushing come, mixing with Brick's steaming semen,
|
|
began to run down the man's inner thighs as the lovers became one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He weakly pumped a few more times, then came to a stop. They were
|
|
exhausted and felt like little more than sexually-fulfilled jello. Brick
|
|
dropped onto Bobby as she fell to her stomach on the bed, his penis still
|
|
inside her. Laying atop the woman's back, the man kissed the back and
|
|
sides of her neck, then rose and pulled out of her vagina. As Brick
|
|
dressed, Bobby laid there smiling with warm semen inside her -- blissfully
|
|
adrift on clouds of womanhood. She could still feel his cock, as if it,
|
|
too, were still inside her. Brick kissed her gently on the cheek and
|
|
headed toward the door.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"That was great, baby," he said, pausing to comb his hair in the dresser
|
|
mirror. "Better than last night. You're special, Laurie...really special."
|
|
He noticed the clock. " Hey, I'm late for work. I'll call you tonight,
|
|
while I'm on break." He kissed her again, then went into the hall. After
|
|
a moment, Bobby heard the front door close as the man left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She sat up. Squeezing her huge breasts between her upper arms as she
|
|
looked down upon them, she smiled. The thrill of her feminine flesh filled
|
|
her throat so hard she could not speak. Bobby sat on the edge of the bed,
|
|
still loving her breasts, and spread her thighs wide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sight of her glorious, long-awaited vagina overwhelmed her.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh, it's so...ooooooooh!" she said, reaching down and touching her new
|
|
vaginal lips. Tears of joy filled her eyes as she lightly rubbed her
|
|
glorious clitoris. Having him inside me was wonderful...I felt so alive!
|
|
She knew that she was pure woman, far more female than any sex-change
|
|
surgery could have made her. She would know having a period each month
|
|
and, if she desired, she would know having a baby.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, she remembered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby rose and went to the room's full-length mirror. There, just as she
|
|
had in the headboard mirror, she found Catherine's reflection.
|
|
"Catherine's potion turned me into her twin sister!" she said, happy to be
|
|
every bit as beautiful as her friend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The still-naked Bobby, intoxicated by her womanhood, slid open one of
|
|
Catherine's dresser drawers and found a sheer red teddy that was
|
|
Catherine's favorite and most seductive piece of lingerie. She slipped it
|
|
on, loving the feel of the cool, delicate fabric as it slid down her arms
|
|
and body. Its sensuous, gossamer sheerness hung tantalizingly and softly
|
|
from her tits. It, of course, hid nothing, and Bobby's immense breasts,
|
|
hard nipples, rounded ass and still-tingling pussy remained plainly
|
|
visible. Bobby took a seat at Catherine's vanity and picked up a Loreal
|
|
lipstick that was a dark, lustful red. It was the color Catherine always
|
|
used while wearing that teddy, for it perfectly matched the slinky nightie.
|
|
She glided the color thickly onto her soft lips, loving its fragrance and
|
|
shine. Then, after recapping the tube, she smiled her radiant, woman's
|
|
smile and enjoyed the seductive gloss of the heavy coat of lipstick she now
|
|
wore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby slipped back into the shoes she had worn during her sexual
|
|
initiation and was delighted that her feet had diminished to the size of
|
|
Catherine's, for the fit was perfect. She stood and looked once more into
|
|
the full-length mirror, and her heart leapt at the sight of the gorgeous
|
|
seductress she had become.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Mmmmm," she lustfully and playfully moaned, looking upon her feminine
|
|
visage with ultimate satisfaction. She spoke to an imaginary man at an
|
|
imaginary bar. "Hi...my name is Catherine, and I want you to fuck me!"
|
|
Her pussy ruled her every thought. She wanted to seduce men, all men.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atop the dresser, she saw a framed picture of Catherine wearing a nurse's
|
|
uniform. What was odd was that Bobby found herself remembering having had
|
|
that picture taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And Bobby finally realized something. She could remember things that she
|
|
had never done and people she had never known. In addition to her own
|
|
memories, she had acquired Catherine's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"That's impossible..." Bobby whispered, confused. As she looked closer at
|
|
the dresser top, things made no sense.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A nurse's ID tag, one with
|
|
Catherine's picture on it, laid next to a purse and some car keys. As she
|
|
picked up the tag and looked at it more closely, the pieces suddenly came
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She had not merely become Catherine's twin. She had become Catherine.
|
|
She had taken Catherine's place and was living her life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What the -- how -- ? Her mind fought to understand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She walked out into the kitchen area. "Catherine?" she vainly called,
|
|
knowing there would be no answer. She heard Catherine's voice, all right,
|
|
but it was coming from her own lips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just as the potion had allowed Bobby to speak his own womanhood into
|
|
existence, it had, during sex a few minutes later, allowed him to become
|
|
Catherine simply by saying -- and meaning -- that he wanted to be her.
|
|
Bobby was Catherine now, and for all the world knew she always had been.
|
|
Bobby no longer existed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Catherine?" she screamed out, panicked. "Catherine! Where are you?"
|
|
She sat on the sofa in numb silence. "It...it can't be...!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The woman tore through the house. In old scrapbooks, in high school
|
|
annuals, in family pictures, everywhere -- she saw herself there, living
|
|
Catherine's life and remembering it all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She tried to reverse what she had done. "I want Catherine to come back!"
|
|
she yelled desperately into the air. "And I want to be the girl I was just
|
|
before I asked to be Catherine!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She walked slowly and hopefully into the bathroom and fearfully looked
|
|
into the mirror. She was still Catherine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She would remain so for the rest of her life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only after several days of life in that body did 'Catherine' finally
|
|
accept what had happened. She settled into the mindset of being Catherine
|
|
and decided to get on with her life. There was little else she could do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Time passed. The new Catherine quit her nursing job, simply because she
|
|
wasn't cut out for medical work. Then, after spending weeks alone in her
|
|
apartment, she realized just how much she hated being by herself. She
|
|
needed the security of knowing someone else would always be there for her.
|
|
She wanted a relationship -- a loving, sexual relationship with a man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She knew where to find that man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next afternoon, dressed in a shiny red blouse and a sexy, black
|
|
leather blazer and short skirt, Catherine knocked on the door of an
|
|
apartment a few miles away. It belonged to the old Catherine's ex-
|
|
boyfriend, a nice guy who was still single and had little resistance when
|
|
it came to saying 'no' to beautiful women.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hi, Wyatt," she said in a soft, vulnerable voice as he answered. "Can I
|
|
come in? I need to see you."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Uh...sure," he answered, surprised beyond words to see her on his
|
|
doorstep. He opened the door wider and invited her in. Her black four-
|
|
inch heels clicked on the smooth, linoleum floor of the entry way as she
|
|
walked in and set her purse down on a table. "I know this is going to be
|
|
hard for you to believe, but I've grown up a lot since...well, you know."
|
|
Catherine walked up to him, her face near his. "I was wrong and stupid..."
|
|
She walked up and kissed him deeply, caressing his teeth, tongue, and
|
|
palette with her tongue. "I've...I've changed, Wyatt."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine had broken up with him almost ten years earlier. Wyatt, despite
|
|
several fleeting relationships since, had always carried a torch for her.
|
|
Bobby had, since high school, been close friends with Wyatt, and he knew
|
|
his friend had always been good to the girl. Bobby knew them both at the
|
|
time of the split, and he had always thought Catherine had made a big
|
|
mistake in 'seeking herself' and breaking it off with Wyatt. Now that
|
|
Bobby saw the world through a woman's eyes, she saw Wyatt through them,
|
|
too. And she had fallen in love.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old Catherine's mistake was one that the new Catherine was about to
|
|
undo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I finally realized just how much I love you," Catherine said, her eyes
|
|
sparkling with desire for him. "Please...take me back?" she pleaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"If I thought for a moment that you really wanted to..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wyatt...I do. Please..." Wyatt thought hard about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within minutes, they were naked on his bed and Catherine was spreading her
|
|
silken legs invitingly. Wyatt gladly took position over her, and she loved
|
|
having the weight of the man atop her as he drove his manhood into her
|
|
warm, female depths. Wyatt pumped hard and fast into her hot, wet vagina,
|
|
kissing her deeply as he did so. His hips moved madly, burying his cock
|
|
deeper into her with each primal thrust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt would never know that the woman he was mercilessly fucking was not
|
|
his old girl but was someone else he had known well -- as a male friend.
|
|
As he pumped away into her, it struck the woman as ironic that back in high
|
|
school, during the time the other Catherine was dating Wyatt, the girl had
|
|
once tried to get Bobby to fuck her while they were alone together in
|
|
Wyatt's car. Bobby had said no, then.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've known you for fifteen years, Catherine thought, and you never knew I
|
|
was a crossdresser! I fantasized then about being a woman -- about being
|
|
your Catherine -- about having sex with you as Catherine! I could never
|
|
have dreamed that I'd be Catherine one day -- and that we'd be making love
|
|
-- and that I'd be so in love with you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine smiled at the thought. As she encouraged Wyatt by moaning and
|
|
stroking his back, he continued pumping her, thanking his lucky stars that
|
|
this woman had come back to him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Is it....the same as....you remember?" she asked, her speech rocked by
|
|
each impact of his pelvis against hers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"No..." Wyatt answered. "Better."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Used to be....we could go....all night," Catherine answered, stroking his
|
|
back with her long nails. "I don't know how....I've
|
|
lived....without....having your cock....in me....." She looked into his
|
|
eyes seductively, her eyes sparkling with pure feminine intensity. "You
|
|
sure I'm....better....than before?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt smiled at the question. "Ohhh, yeah..." he answered, eyes closed in
|
|
ecstasy. "Much...better."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Good," Catherine moaned in satisfaction. "And you're...the best...I've
|
|
ever had..." she said in a low, breathy voice that made his cock grow even
|
|
harder. A sudden spasm of pleasure gripped her vaginal muscles. "It feels
|
|
so...good...it's so big...fuck me 'till I come..." Her sexy lips with
|
|
their heavy, shiny coat of frosted, deep red lipstick erotically formed the
|
|
words as he watched. "Fuck me...fuck me, Wyatt..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Her soft flesh felt good beneath him as he pinned the woman to the bed --
|
|
her pussy was hot and tight around his driving erection. As Catherine
|
|
strained to lock her vaginal muscles around his cock even tighter, she
|
|
reached around and stroked his back lightly with her long, polished, glossy
|
|
red nails as he pumped her. Their bodies grew damp with hot sweat, and
|
|
their slippery flesh slid man-on-woman as he kept on fucking, fucking,
|
|
fucking --
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt propped himself up on his straightened arms, elbows locked, to
|
|
increase his pelvic thrust leverage. Catherine pulled her knees way up in
|
|
order to help him drive as deeply into her as possible. Squeezing her huge
|
|
tits between her upper arms, she ran her fingers through his dense chest
|
|
hair. He looked down into her deep, gorgeous eyes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Don't stop, Wyatt..." Catherine moaned. "Your cock feels so good so deep
|
|
in my pussy..." She then grabbed and squeezed her enormous breasts with
|
|
both hands as his penetration deepened; her nipples had grown long and
|
|
hard, and she pulled them up to her lips and began to suck and gently bite
|
|
them. Her lipstick stained her nipples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine's shiny, black high-heels danced in the air as his pounding
|
|
rocked her body. She spread her bent legs even wider, so wide that they
|
|
laid back nearly flat against the bed on either side. The bed squeaked
|
|
loudly with the violence of their passion, telling those in the neighboring
|
|
apartments of the sexual fury taking place behind the walls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Come inside me!" Catherine screamed out, not caring who might hear.
|
|
"Don't stop until you come inside me!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He felt his orgasm building and knew he was reaching the point of no
|
|
return. "I...I should...pull out..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"No!" she cried, wrapping her glassy-smooth legs tightly around his
|
|
buttocks and holding him inside her. As he tried to pull out, she
|
|
tightened her legs around him and kept him from pulling his hips back far
|
|
enough for his penis to leave her vagina.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt began to lose his rhythm as his orgasm swelled. "I'm going...to
|
|
come..." he cried out, trying in vain to pull his penis free of her pussy.
|
|
"Let me out! Let me..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was too late. The intensity peaked, and as the fiery pleasure overtook
|
|
him he stopped trying to pull out and instinctively drove his penis as
|
|
deeply as possible, burying its spurting head into her.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Oooooh, yes, baby...that's right..." Catherine said, smiling in victory,
|
|
feeling his cock pulsing inside her. The hot, hard penis took over control
|
|
of Wyatt's body, overriding his intellect and flooding the woman with his
|
|
warm semen. "Mama loves feeling you there...come, baby...that's right..."
|
|
Catherine once more felt a man deposit his hot, sexual seed into her hungry
|
|
vagina, and she smiled anew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ooooooh, yes," she whispered as Wyatt weakly pumped his last. "That's
|
|
right, honey...yes...that's right..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt's senses slowly returned. "I...I came inside you..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Did you ever come inside anyone else?" she asked, lovingly stroking his
|
|
back and hairy buttocks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Never..." Wyatt managed to answer, struggling for breath. "You're...the
|
|
first..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His cock shrank quickly, and Catherine unwrapped her legs from around him.
|
|
Exhausted, Wyatt pulled out of her and rolled onto his side. He caressed
|
|
Catherine's breasts as she played with his slippery, expended penis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I...I hope you're on the pill," Wyatt said, realizing that he might well
|
|
have just gotten the girl pregnant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Don't worry," Catherine said, kissing him fully and passionately in the
|
|
lips. "I'm your girl...I want you to own me...love me..." He spoke to
|
|
her, softly and gently, love in his voice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I do love you...I always have. I don't know why...but the moment I saw
|
|
you tonight, I felt like we'd never been apart."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Maybe we're soulmates," Catherine said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Their love for each other quickly grew passionate -- as passionate as
|
|
their sexual relationship, which they enjoyed often. Never had the man or
|
|
the woman felt more happy and satisfied with life. Catherine moved in with
|
|
him, and they began to share their lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two months later, one Saturday morning, as they lay naked together in
|
|
Wyatt's bed, Catherine's soft warmth snuggled against him. He stroked her
|
|
silken hair and gazed into her eyes. She whispered to him, her voice like
|
|
sweet music.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Wyatt...I'm pregnant."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The words caught him by surprise. "Are you sure?" She nodded happily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It's your baby, Daddy..." she said, gently caressing her stomach. "I
|
|
know I'm not showing yet, but our baby is already two months along." Wyatt
|
|
laughed out loud in joyous celebration, then leaned over and kissed
|
|
Catherine long and lovingly. He once more caressed her long, light blonde
|
|
hair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Marry me," he said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Today. Marry me. We'll find a justice of the peace somewhere and get
|
|
married before sunset...and go to the Parkston Hotel for our honeymoon."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine needed little time to think his proposal over. She smiled in
|
|
delight, caressing his face in her soft, woman's hands. "Yes, Wyatt. I
|
|
will marry you." He kissed her deeply once more, their lives forever
|
|
intertwined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before nightfall, they were man and wife, and Catherine was happier than
|
|
she ever had been. Within three years, she had borne him three children,
|
|
and she cherished her life as a wife and mother.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wyatt watched her proudly as she sat in the light of the fireplace,
|
|
nursing her newborn child. As the baby suckled her breast, Catherine felt
|
|
content and wonderfully complete. The woman had all but forgotten her life
|
|
as a male crossdresser, for the existence she now knew was glorious beyond
|
|
any she could ever have known as a man. She was a happy wife, married to
|
|
the perfect husband, and their life together was one of joy and
|
|
fulfillment. They remained happily together for the rest of their lives.
