JayCee
by Vickie Tern
I made my first really intimate girlfriend just before my last
year in High School, the summer I was nearly seventeen. Strictly
speaking, his mother had already shaped him out, but I put on the
finishing touches, so I guess you can say we both made him my
girlfriend. When I finished with him he loved what I'd done, and
we've been good friends ever since, though since we went away to
different colleges we've hardly seen each other, only when I'm home
on vacation and he is too. He's still a girl and will be for life,
but with a difference. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
When I began with him he thought he was a boy and wanted to
live like one, and I could understand that. I'd wanted to be a boy
too until I hit puberty and my body began to round out and smooth
over, and my tits ripened, and I realized I had no choice. Then I
discovered it's much better to be a girl. Marianne, the boy I'm
talking about, he never had any choice either, not really, but he
didn't know that till later.
I better explain all this. When I was little I hated wearing
frilly dresses and ribbons whenever we went visiting, and sitting
up straight with my Mary Janes dangling off the floor, and
listening to the grownups talk, and always being neat and ladylike.
My boy cousins could stretch out all over the floor and wear torn
jeans and boy-size work boots, and pick their noses, and make
disgusting noises all they wanted. Or they could go out and climb
trees, or throw footballs, but I always had to be a lady, even when
I was still a little girl. It wasn't fair, just because I happened
to be born a girl. I really envied them. So whenever I could I
wore jeans and boots and learned how to swallow air and belch the
same as them. Anything they did, I decided I was going to do too,
better! And I did, too!
My mom despaired, though she never gave up on me. She'd ask
me over and over, "JayCee, why don't you play with dolls like all
the other girls. There are such pretty dolls these days, and whole
wardrobes for them, and even makeup."
I'd answer, "Because I'd rather play with boys, Mom." She
never could figure out how to answer that, so mostly she'd leave me
alone then until the next time.
In fact I was quicker than most boys, and smarter, and
tougher, and more stubborn, and I never refused a dare dodging
traffic or climbing trees. But when we crossed into our teens all
the boys began to develop deep chests and shoulder muscles, and got
so they could swing on branches like apes. Not me. With my thin
arms I could only hang there and then let go. They got bulkier and
stronger and I only got softer and rounder, a lot softer and
rounder on my chest. So I had to quit trying to compete with them.
I bought a bra and took up being a girl as a life sentence.
That pleased my folks, who'd never thought it would happen.
Especially my mom was delighted when she found she had a daughter
to shop for after all. Then once I got some girl clothes and
started wearing them, and got a girl's hairdo, and started wearing
a little makeup, wow, I found out that for my whole life I'd been
absolutely wrong! Talk about dumb? What I found out was that no
way did I ever have to prove I was as good as a boy. I found out
that girls never have to prove anything. They're already better
than boys in every way that matters. And I found that deep down,
boys already know this. Girls don't ever have to do anything boys
do because they can always get boys to do it for them. A girl can
make a boy stumble all over his own feet and fall on his face if
she feels like it, no problem. Girls can even hurt boys real bad,
and if they do it just right the boys'll never complain -- in fact
they'll say thank you. They can't help it. That's how they're
made.
Even my boy cousins couldn't help themselves, I realized. One
day when we were still thirteen or so two of them were showing off
in trees in their back yard, and one of them paraded right off the
end of a branch while looking over his shoulder to see if I was
watching. He broke his collar bone when he hit the ground, but
when his parents hustled him off to the hospital he was still
looking back to see if I'd seen it happen! It's obvious. Boys
want to please girls. They need to. The only choice they get,
maybe, is which girl especially. They'll do anything we say, if we
know how to say it just the right way. And that's how it is.
I.
I guess I was still fourteen when I first found out how far I
could push a boy, and how much fun it was. Our house has a
swimming pool in the back yard. The previous owner used it just to
look at, but our family uses it all the time, and so do a few of my
friends from time to time, when I invite them over.
Well, one day when it was hot and my folks were out, two boys
I knew from school came by, a year or two older than me. They
hoped I'd ask them to hang around and use the pool, and I figured
why not -- they were both cute. They weren't the smartest boys
around, but still, good enough for me to practice being a girl on
them. Ronnie, the tall one, he was into body building, and his
shoulders and legs showed some promising bulges even then. Petey
was short and thin and not too hard to fake out -- I once beat him
at Indian wrestling because he went for a sucker shift-of-weight,
and then he fell for the same move a second time too. It bothered
him, my faking him out, because I was only a girl. He kept asking
me how I did it, and did I knew any other tricks. I told him lots,
but that only girls can get away with using them. That didn't stop
him, so I told him a few. Maybe he's still trying them out.
Anyhow, they were sweaty, and it was hot, so I told them sure,
we'd all use the pool. Then it turned out they already had their
bathing suits and towels with them. That annoyed me, because it
meant they were pretty sure I'd invite them to stay, and I don't
like anybody to feel pretty sure of anything when they're around
me. But I let them think they were right as we splashed each
other, and laughed, and they tried to grope me, and I swam circles
around them.
Then came time for them to change back into their clothes. We
were all three sitting around a big poolside patio table, and I
suggested we play a game. They glanced at each other. Petey
wagged his head at Ronnie, and Ronnie nodded, and then they both
grinned at me, and then there was a pause. They had a plan. I
tried to keep a straight face.
Then Petey asked me if I'd like to play "Show and Tell" with
them. The way we play is, each person gets to ask the others to
show or tell about something personal or embarrassing, or to do
something like that. All the players then have to do that same
thing, even the person doing the asking. That's so no one will ask
for anything too far off the wall.
Well, what they'd want me to do was obvious enough. I mean,
did I have to put on a red riding hood and take a walk through the
woods to figure that one out? But I got this idea I wanted to try,
so I said "Sure."
They stole another quick look at each other, and Ronnie, he
said, "You're sure, now," and I said sharply, "I just said so,
didn't I?" I wanted to get on with it. Then a quick thought: "You
guys too, no chickening out by anyone! And there's two of you, and
you each get to ask one thing, but there's only one of me, so to
even it out I get to ask two things of you guys, right? That's
only fair." Then I added, "You first, I'll go last."
Well, they were so eager to play they didn't think through
whether that was fair or not. I'd be getting two of whatever I
asked for each time, one from each of them each time, four all in
all. But they'd get only one thing from me apiece. So my taking
two turns wasn't really fair. But they were thinking it was
themselves versus me, two boys versus one girl, not each of us
versus each other, so they couldn't add up two and two, so they
just nodded without thinking. In a way they got what they
deserved.
We sat around the big table and just looked at each other,
until finally Ronnie lost it and started to leer, and he said right
on schedule, "Me first. Ok. Stand up and show us your boobs,
JayCee. Naked."
Well, I was wearing a two piece bikini, and I still didn't
have much to show when I was fourteen. My nipples were large and
pointy, but I was only beginning to swell out. Still, given what
I had in mind for them, I had no problem exposing my tits. I sort
of took center stage and started to untie my halter in back. Then
just to make sure there'd be no misunderstandings, not now, not for
the rest of the game, I paused still holding my string ties
together and said, "You too, Ronnie. You too, Petey."
They looked at me as if I'd gone weird, because they were both
already bare chested. But finally they both stood up, and waited,
and then Ronnie thought to say, "Ok, that's how we are."
So I nodded and undid the rest of my bathing suit top, and
then held it out to the side at arm's length, and stood there with
my other hand on my hip. Their eyes followed the top as I held it
out, then shifted back to my exposed nipples and the slightly round
mounds behind them. They stared at me solemnly for a while, and
made whatever they could of what they saw.
Then Pete said, "OK, now my turn. Show us your pussy, JayCee.
Take off your bathing suit bottom." He paused, then added, "You
promised, remember?"
Talk about unsure? He didn't think I'd do it, so he fired off
his reserve argument right off. But he didn't need to worry. "No
chickening out, that's what we said," I said. I untied the two
side bows on my Bikini bottom. Then I paused and waited. "You
too," I said.
Well, they'd been so eager to see what was between my legs
they forgot they'd have to drop their pants too, but they hesitated
only a moment. A little embarrassed but with his eyes on the
prize, me, Ronnie pushed his bathing suit down to his knees, took
a deep breath, and stood up. Then Pete. It was sort of funny.
They both tried to stand up straight like me, shoulders back and
chest out and all, but they hunched over anyhow, as if they could
hide their private parts behind their bellies, and they finished in
a kind of half-crouch. It was pathetic. I let go the strings on
my bikini bottom and then pulled it off straight out from between
my legs. Petey gasped! Then I held the bottom to one side too,
with my other hand.
Now there I was, standing before them completely naked, arms
out, shoulders back, head high, looking straight into their eyes.
Not that I didn't want to check out the scene further down on them.
But in due time. I knew that now, for what I meant to do, they had
to know who was in charge. And it was odd. I didn't feel any way
exposed or vulnerable or immodest, or even naked. In fact the
reverse. It was as if I were fully dressed, only in my skin, like
those nude women in those paintings over at the museum, those Greek
goddesses. As if I were standing in front of a throne.
So I took over. "All the way off," I said. "Put your bathing
suits on the table." And I put my bikini top and bottom down on
the table to set them an example, and then I stepped back a few
steps and put my both hands on my hips, legs a little apart, and I
stared at them again, and my bare tits stared at them too. Still
embarrassed, they stripped down the rest of the way, then picked up
their bathing suits and put them on the table.
Ronnie tried again to pull his shoulders back and stand tall,
like me, but when he straightened up his knees bent. Pete was
having his own problems. He was trying to cover his whole body
with just his hands. "I can't see you," I said to him. "Are you
ashamed? Of what?" I leaned back and cocked one hip at them, my
pelvis thrust forward, my hands still draped on my hips, and I
looked at them sideways amused, like girls I've seen in the movies
when they're playing seductive but hard-to-get. Then when I saw
what I saw, I *was* amused.
There they were, both of them, naked penises at half-dangle,
balls shriveled and trying to hide behind their penises. Pete's
prick had a pointed foreskin, but even with the extra flap it hung
only maybe half way down his balls. It looked maybe only an inch
or so long, soft the way it was. But Ronnie's big purple cock head
hung way down below his balls, maybe six inches down altogether,
maybe more.
I'd already seen my cousins' equipment the previous
Thanksgiving when we were all playing "Show and Tell" together out
in back while the grownups watched football inside, so these were
no big deal. Ronnie's and Petey's cocks looked just as silly,
hanging there between their legs. I hadn't known that cocks could
vary that much in size, so that was something, anyhow. And
Ronnie's was the biggest I'd seen yet, so that was something else.
Meanwhile, they both stared fascinated at the vee of my
crotch, which then was just barely covered with tan fuzz. There
was nothing else for them to see, just my fuzzy mound, and maybe
the beginning of my pussy, where the flat space disappears into the
crease tucked between my legs. But they couldn't take their eyes
off it. I suddenly realized that what they were staring at was for
them the unthinkable. They saw nothing! Nothing at all. A smooth
curved surface unlike anything they'd ever seen between anyone's
legs. No cock sprouting out of it, and no balls. Nothing.
I suddenly realized that in some deep place way down inside
them, they were awed and a little frightened. Here was the place
they'd come from, the same as their mothers', and that was
mysterious in itself. But worse! Here was what their own crotches
would look like if everything hanging there was cut off, missing,
gone. They had cocks and balls, but I had nothing. I had nothing
to lose. They were exposed and at risk, and I wasn't. It was as
if the worst thing they could imagine happening to them had already
happened to me, in some primordial way, yet I wasn't the least bit
bothered by it. In fact I was completely at ease, and that made me
superior beyond their comprehension. Was that why they
instinctively tried to hide themselves, and why I felt so powerful
at that moment?
"Now my turn," I said. "I get two things to ask." I looked at
their eyes. They were both still staring down at my mystery,
silent, coping with their thoughts. "Now, my first show and tell
is, show me how you guys masturbate."
They both stiffened, surprised, and raised their eyes up to
look at me, and found I was already staring back at them steadily,
not even blinking. I sensed in them a sudden tension I could use
if I could tip them the right way, so I decided to go for the gold.
"How you masturbate each other, I mean," I said, as if I were
completing my original sentence. Then I sat down at the table and
waited, never taking my eyes off them, making myself into an
audience of one waiting for them to begin their performance.
Well, as I'd expected, there were delaying tactics and
denials, a stream of "You're kidding, right?" and flat out "We
don't do each other," and "No way, Jose!" and so forth. I gave
them a minute to vent and get used to the idea, even to think
they'd persuaded me, and then I cut them both off with "No
chickening out, remember?" Then I couldn't resist. "Even though
those little pricks do look like chicken skin, the necks when the
heads are chopped off!"
They flinched, but I kept looking at them steadily. They
looked at me a moment longer, then averted their eyes and looked at
each other. I had them! Gently, even seductively, I added, "Just
reach over, you two, and pick up each other's cocks, and then show
me how you do it. Pull very gently. Be nice to each other!"
Then they couldn't resist. It was as if I were doing it to
them. They didn't dare look at each other or say anything, but
they each edged closer, faces fixed in a sort of smiling grimace,
and Ronnie's hand reached out for Petey's little thing. Ronnie
groped too high, so Petey took Ronnie's hand, pulled it further
down, lifted his cock, and placed it on Ronnie's palm. Then Petey
looked at Ron's crotch, reached over, and tenderly cradled Ronnie's
long dingus in his whole hand. Better than I'd hoped, I was
thinking. They both stood still for a few seconds, each hand
getting used to the heft of an unfamiliar penis, each one aware
that the other had custody of his most prized possession. Then
they each closed their hands on the other's cock and began to pull
back and forth, gently. Soon the pricks swelled up to fit their
open fists, and then they had no more problems holding and pulling
or stroking them. They closed their eyes. Ronnie held the whole
of Petey in his hand, now all of four inches, and squeezed it
rhythmically, and Petey slid his palm up and down on Ronnie's long
monster as it got longer, and they each pulled and stroked, over
and over, and a slight smile came over each one's face.
"This doesn't count as my second show and tell," I said. "But
wouldn't it be a little more friendly if you looked into each
others' eyes?"
They opened their eyes and looked at me and then at each
other, a little evasive at first. Then more directly at each
others' faces, as each one tried to concentrate his mind on the
pleasure the other was providing. In a few minutes they were each
lost again in their own sensations, but now they were looking at
each other unashamed, even a little fondly. It was so dear!
Really, precious!
So I decided it was time for me to take care of my own slit,
which by now had gotten pretty slick. There were two guys jerking
each other off under orders, mine, looking like they were in love!
That alone was enough to get me going! Also, I didn't want either
one of them to realize fair is fair, so one of them could do me
next, or I'd have to do both of them.
So I licked my middle finger and pushed it into me, and then
when it was wet and slippery I diddled it back and forth across my
clit, flipping that little button faster and faster. Real nice.
I could feel myself mounting, oooh!, really reaching higher and
higher, and in another minute Oh! Wow! I shuddered into a delicious
orgasm, a tremendous squeezing and expanding of all of me all at
once, a kind of explosive celebration of my pussy by my whole body!
My first one always comes fairly quick, but this was my strongest
ever, and it went on and on! When I opened my eyes I saw that
Ronnie and Pete were still so absorbed with each other they'd never
even noticed. They'd picked up the pace, and their breathing had
gotten faster and deeper, and now their hands were flying across
each other's crotches. Each one's face was twisted as if in pain,
or in concentrated yearning.
"Stop!"
They froze, each one with his hand gripping the other's
swollen dong, and looked at me dazed.
"Before you guys blow each other off, you should know what's
my second Show and Tell. Now, my second one is, I want one of you
to fuck the other in the ass."
They stared at me horrified. Pete swallowed, and swallowed
again, but still couldn't say anything. His eyes avoided mine and
stared into the middle distance. Ronnie swallowed too, then stared
hard straight at me. I noticed neither of them let go the other's
prick. I suppose they were afraid if they did their fun might be
over, and by now they were both desperate to cum. That's why I
thought I could get away with this.
"You're kidding!" Pete said finally. What he meant was,
"You're serious!"
"That's not fair," Ronnie said. "If we did that what would you
do?" He was talking at least, single syllables, and just barely
thinking. Does a boy's brain close down when his cock rises?
Anyhow, he was opening a negotiation! He was seriously considering
my proposal!
I already had my answer. "Whoever gets fucked can fuck me,"
I said. "In the ass. That's fair."
I knew that was the clincher. Ronnie heard me loud and clear.
I could tell by the way he was still staring into my face, his eyes
lit by speculations I couldn't myself imagine! His cock lurched in
Petey's hand. I bet both of these guys are virgins, I thought to
myself. Well, my ass wasn't. The previous Thanksgiving I'd traded
in its virginity to a cousin, for a baseball.
Well, it was a little more complicated, it happened this way.
I'd gone off with that cousin, and had cheated on a game of
forfeits, and had gotten him to kneel between my legs and slide his
tongue in and out of my cunt while I was lounging back in a soft
chair with my thighs resting on his shoulders, reading a book as if
he didn't matter to me at all. He looked so sorrowful and so
earnest, staring over my mound into my eyes while his mouth slurped
and sucked on me, and I felt so good with him down there, that I
let him know it when his tongue brought me off. That was a
mistake, because then he felt good too, and wanted to fuck me. I
told him no way with his prick, I was saving my pussy for my
husband and the father of my children. He bought that argument,
and asked instead for a blow job. Fair's fair, he pointed out, the
way kids always do.
Well, just about then I'd been reading some stupid grownup
woman's magazine that said that cocksucking was servile worship of
the male phallus, and one of the ways men dominate women and keep
them subservient, and stuff. I didn't know then that a phallus is
really like the control stick in an airplane -- once you take hold
of it you can fly a guy anywhere. One lick and he's yours, he'll
do anything. But I didn't know that. I still didn't know it that
day with Ronnie and Petey by the swimming pool, when I was getting
them to play queer with each other.
Anyhow, I'd told my cousin I wouldn't blow him, no way, I was
liberated and wouldn't demean myself. Then with a sudden
inspiration I told him he could push into my asshole instead, if
he'd throw in the baseball with Babe Ruth's signature his father
kept in a little plastic shrine on the mantel. I'd always envied
them that baseball, but mainly I was curious what it felt like to
have a guy inside me moving in and out, what all the fuss was
about. There was no way I'd let him into my cunt, because then
he'd forever after lord it over me that he'd been Number One. Boys
do that. My asshole he'd never boast about, because at that age
most boys still think a back door is a shithole, and yukky. But
he'd just been down there inspecting everything with his mouth and
nose, and he knew that after my pussy my rosebud was the next best
thing. So he agreed.
And he did it. We got him oiled up, and he got in after only
a little bit of trouble, and he felt real good in there, but barely
two swipes in and out and he came into me and then all over my ass.
I was disappointed, but didn't let on. He told me later that his
father really belted his ass over and over for supposedly playing
with that baseball and then losing it, but that getting into me
made it all worth while. I was his first. He was grateful, the
way I like guys to be when they've done what I want them to do.
The way I expected Ronnie and Petey to be when I was finished with
them. I always give satisfaction.
Well, Ronnie just stood there staring at me, his dong still
stiff in Petey's hand, its purple head poking out into the
sunshine, and I could see that wheels were whirring in his brain.
A chance to stick it to a girl at last! Or into Petey? But at
what price?
Petey may not have registered any of it yet, that whoever gets
fucked gets to fuck me. "You haven't whacked off yet, JayCee," he
said, maybe stalling for time. "Or whatever it is girls do."
"Oh, yes I have," I said. "I came. You two lovers were too
busy with each other to notice." I pushed two fingers into my
quim, pulled them out gleaming wet, then stood up, walked over, and
held them under Pete's nose. "What do you think this is? Or
wouldn't you know?" I wiped my juice on his upper lip so the smell
would last and maybe he'd get to like it, and then I gave Ronnie
his chance, drenching my fingers a second time and then holding
them up to his mouth. "Suck on this!" I commanded. He did, as if
he were licking a candy cane. "You can do it, Ronnie," I told him
in a low, sultry voice. "Be Pete's girl, for me."
I won that gamble too. I'd figured that Ronnie would
calculate even in his coma that Pete's little cock shoved into him
was a small price to pay to get his big one into me. I hoped so,
but I didn't want him feeling too macho about it. Now whatever he
did, he'd be following my orders. Better, in his own mind he'd be
the girl who got laid, or he'd think I was thinking that. And once
a girl in your own mind, I was thinking, always a girl. Once
fucked, always fucked. I'll have to remember to call his cock a
clit, I thought, and later I'll have to ask how his pussy felt with
Pete's cum still leaking out of it. Because I had other uses for
him now that I'd seen how obediently he'd licked pussy juice from
my fingers. He'd be handy to have around when I felt like slinging
my legs over someone's shoulders. More manageable than a cousin.
Ronnie finally decided. He pulled a few more times on Pete's
pecker, then leaned in and muttered something to him, and then
turned toward me. "He'll need lube of some kind, or he'll hurt me,
JayCee" he said. His voice sounded very respectful. "How about we
use some more of your juice?"
"I use my juice for me," I said with finality. "You've got a
mouth, Ronnie. Take care of your own needs! Petey'll do the same
for you afterward, blow job for blow job, won't you Petey?" I
flashed him a smile to keep him encouraged, didn't even glance at
Petey, then turned and sat down again to watch. Can you imagine?
I was only fourteen then!
And sure enough, Ronnie looked at Petey, and Petey nodded, a
little overwhelmed by all this wheeling and dealing. So Ronnie
dropped to his knees in front of Petey and took Petey's little cock
into his mouth. He gave it just a few licks all over to coat it
with thick saliva, and only a few sucks and strokes up and down
with his lips to spread the slick stuff around, but it was enough
for Petey to forget himself, and stiffen up all the way, and then
to start fucking his friend's face.
I was ecstatic! Here before my eyes was a boy I'd turned into
a genuine cock sucker, home-made, my very first! I wished I had a
camera. Petey's cock grew as swollen as it would ever get, sliding
in the warm moisture of Ronnie's mouth, and his face again took on
a glazed look. But Ronnie took no chances. He stopped suddenly,
then got down on his hands and knees and lowered his head and chest
onto a towel on the ground, with his butt way up in the air. Petey
mounted him doggy style, spread his cheeks, felt for his asshole,
and pushed at him a few times with that stubby cock.
At first all he did was shove Ron forward. But I could tell
when he finally managed to get it into Ron, because on that stroke,
the third or the fourth, instead of lurching forward when Petey's
cock shoved on him Ron's body held steady. In fact Ronnie wriggled
and snuggled back, and then Petey really began fucking him! Ronnie
was now genuinely queer at both ends! I felt like a Maestro
conducting an orchestra! A few more lunges, and then Petey was
sprawled onto Ronnie, hugging him tight and squeezing his belly
against his ass, and shouting "Hah! Hah! Hah!" Each shout another
spurt of semen squirting into Ronnie's guts! Then Pete softened
and flopped out of Ronnie's ass almost at once, leaving behind a
trail of oozing cum.
Petey may have been small, but he had semen to spare.
Ronnie's asshole was filled to the brim and running over. I bet
he'll still be leaking tonight, I thought to myself idly. I'll try
to remember to lend him a tampon before he goes home, or his
folks'll ask about the stain on his bathing suit. I wondered if
he'd want to fuck himself with the tampon while putting it in, now
he'd had a taste of it, the way I sometimes do. He would if I told
him to. Maybe he would for no reason at all.
I caught a glimpse of Petey's softened cock, and marveled that
anything that small had even gotten past Ron's ass cheeks. But
he'd done it! They both stood up. Pete's cum leaked down Ron's
legs and glistened in his crack, and Pete looked like any boy who's
just blown his wad, complacent and a little arrogant. Ron looked
disturbed. I knew why, of course. He did feel more like a girl
than he'd meant to feel, now he'd been irrevocably fucked by a
stiff prick up the ass. But he wasn't a girl. Not with that cock,
he wasn't. And he still hadn't managed to cum yet himself. It was
time.
"Sit here under the umbrella, Little Peter," I said to him.
"I'll give Ronnie back to you so you can be his girl next time, now
that he's yours. Put your bathing suit back on now. If you can't
find it I'll lend you some panties to wear home."
I don't know, I suppose I was just teasing these would-be
macho studs who'd come by my house cocksure that any girl's
swimming pool was theirs for the asking. But Pete turned bright
red, and when I looked I saw Ron was red too. Well, well! A
discovery of some kind! Had they done each other previously, or
dreamed of it, these buddies? Had they just now been girls in
their own minds, while they jerked each other off with such loving
affection? Had I just ordered them to enact a really secret
desire? Maybe that's how boys use each other sexually and yet keep
their self-respect, by pretending one of them at least is a girl.
Were guys so ashamed to do it with other guys that they'd rather
pretend they're the other sex, to avoid thinking they must be gay?
Do gays do that too, pretend they're girls when they're really only
guys who prefer each other? All interesting to look into later,
but I said nothing. Pete put on his bathing suit and sat down
without another word.
Well, this time I let Ron lubricate himself on the outside of
my pussy. It was my ass, after all. "Now go easy," I said to him.
"Remember how Little Petey felt in you when he was moving in and
out of your ass? Did he stretch you out first, and then feel real
good? Delicious? Yummy? Could you feel his cock pulse when he
came, and did his cum feel hot when it splashed inside you? At
that moment did you think to yourself, now at last I'm a real
woman? Remember that my ass isn't slippery like yours is right now
with that cum leaking all over, so go slow!"
Then I got down the way he'd done it, and let him slowly push
that long cock of his into my rear, a little at a time. I
instructed him inch by inch, like a steelworker signalling how to
work a girder into position. It took a while. This was only my
second ass-fuck, so mainly I was comparing it to my first, to see
what new sensations were available -- I don't like expecting
something and ending up disappointed. Well, Ron's cock was really
huge compared to my cousin's, and it did feel tremendous when he
finally got it all in. I felt full. Complete. It's nice,
something that swollen way down deep inside you, I decided. School
would begin again before too long, and this was something I could
use to reward boys who were especially obedient, or as they liked
to think of it, especially gentlemanly and courteous with me. I'd
let them put their most prized possession into my shithole.
But that was the best of it. Ron began thrusting, and it
seemed to me that each stroke in and out was like a slow commute to
the suburbs and then back into the city. Each one took a while,
and together they got repetitious. He pumped me, and my mind
drifted to the magazine I'd been flipping through a couple of hours
earlier, when the two of them first came by looking for a free ride
and I'd taken them for one. For sure, from now on, I decided,
whoever's doing my ass will at least diddle my clit at the same
time, unless they've gotten me excited some other way. If he isn't
Mr. Right.
When finally Ron came I let him stay in me a minute longer,
and then I wriggled out from under him. He looked so grateful I
almost laughed. But instead I turned and kissed him on the cheek,
thanked him, and told him that now he was my favorite stud as well
as my favorite girlfriend. Then I asked him to let me know the
next time he and Petey jerk each other off or fuck each other,
because I'd enjoy knowing I was the one who'd helped them find
themselves.
That reminded Ronnie. He stood up and went over to where
Petey was sitting and watching the two of us. His cock was still
half-engorged, and still slick with semen and who knows what from
my bowels. He walked over where Petey was sitting and just stood
there with it touching Petey's nose, and didn't say a word.
Feeling macho? Too embarrassed to ask? But after only a second's
hesitation Petey took it into his hand, then dropped his mouth onto
the big purple knob and plunged his head all the way down onto it.
All the way down! It swelled up full even as I watched, and then
disappeared down Petey's throat! Petey bobbed his head up and down
on it several times! Had I discovered something about their
relationship they'd rather have kept to themselves? Had Petey done
this before? He took in Ron's cock like a master sword swallower!
Ronnie then leaned back slightly with his hands on his hips, and
Little Petey dropped his hands to his sides, headfucking Ron
unassisted in long, easy, comfortable strokes. Then Ron grunted,
clasped Petey's head tight to his crotch, squirted his load
straight down his throat, and reached over and lifted Petey's head
off his cock by both ears.
When they left I told them I'd love to have a picture of Petey
sucking on Ronnie as a souvenir of the afternoon, and Ron nodded
his agreement absent-mindedly while looking for one of his sandals.
Apparently nothing even to think about. So maybe I was right about
them. They may or may not have done it before, but they surely
were going to do it again. Ronnie would see to that.
A few days later, three Polaroid pictures arrived in the mail:
Little Peter cocksucking Big Ron the way I'd seen, and another of
Petey grinning at the camera while wiping a blob of cloudy glop off
his lips, and last of all the two of them blowing each other in a
classic 69. On the back of that last one was written "Here's how
we learned to swim at your place!" These were pictures with their
faces fully visible! Talk about trust? The next three or four
times they got together to do each other they phoned to tell me.
I congratulated them each time, and wished them a long and happy
life together.
They often invited me to come watch once they were well into
it, and I took them up on it just often enough to keep them eager
to see me. They liked doing whatever I told them, and I never ever
had to remind them about the pictures they'd sent me. I sent them
on lots of little missions to keep them busy and happy. For
example, it turned out after a while that they weren't really
girlish, they were gay. They even preferred sex with each other
dressed normal, like guys. Even so I made Ron buy Petey a full
girl's outfit from K-Mart, from a bra on out, one item each day,
the two of them livid with embarrassment each time Ron had to ask
the salesgirl if Petey could use a changing room to try the item
on. I told Petey to dress up for Ron for a big date out at least
once a month. And to wear makeup, and to make himself as pretty as
he could. And to send me a picture now and then of Ron lifting his
skirt to ream him in the rear. During the next year those pictures
got more and more elaborate as Petey got more and more into
dressing up, and spent more money on costumes. He turned out to be
a real Drag Queen, no mistake about it, a real contest-winner.
Of course other kids at school caught on in no time at all.
The two of them got careless, and sometimes they were seen holding
hands, and there was talk. The clincher came when they were seen
together in a pizza parlor on the other side of town, Petey dressed
like a girl, though in bad taste, another girl told me. Well, I'd
seen that outfit and thought he looked rather cute in it, a
low-neck peasant blouse and a teeny denim mini-skirt, with sort of
clunky shoes and big bold eye makeup. I liked it on him. Anyhow,
after that, girls lost interest in dating them, though some girls
felt especially comfortable with them and invited them to slumber
parties, and gave them advice how to use makeup with more
restraint, and asked them how it felt, doing each other. Girls are
curious about things like that.
Boys wanted no part of them of course, and called them all the
usual names. So they got more and more dependent on each other for
their social lives, and by the end of the year they were living
practically in each others' pockets. Petey's parents caught on
eventually, and when the school year ended the family moved across
the state to another town, so Petey could get a fresh start. But
by then he didn't want one. Petey soon found some new boyfriends,
and Ron knew where he lived, and they visited each other now and
then.
I dated lots of guys the next few years. A girl with my kind
of self-confidence who isn't afraid to tell boys what to do
attracts certain kinds of boys. I'd let them do my homework for me
if they were smart enough, or drive me to school mornings, and I'd
reward them by letting them perform little services for me. They
got to be known as "JayCee's nursery school," and it turned out
they were real popular with other girls when I was finished with
them. They had all kinds of special skills.
The jocks took me on as a personal challenge, and of course
got nowhere. None of them ever got into my pussy, because I was
still saving it for the boy I would one day marry, I told them.
Also because they were boastful adolescents who still thought a
fuck was a conquest, even the smart ones. It was easy to outthink
them. They were never sincere with me, so I saw no reason to be
sincere with them when I put them through hoops.
The other boys at our high school all knew that my pussy was
out of bounds except to their mouths. But they knew I expected
that much lip service from them at least, and they looked forward
to offering it. They knew that if I really liked them, or if I was
in just the right mood, or if I wanted something special from them,
they knew that I might even use my mouth on them too, to help
persuade them to do whatever it was I wanted.
And they knew that if they were really attentive and
submissive and grateful and courteous, and if I was especially
turned on, and if they were willing to do certain especially
humiliating things while I watched, they knew I might actually
allow them to fuck my ass, enter me near that sacred place where my
eventual husband's semen would eventually unite with my own
eventual egg. Knowing all these things, they'd all try extra hard
to please me as soon as their faces got down to business. I had no
complaints, and I heard none.
Ron never got into my ass again -- despite its size his cock
was just plain boring, and it turned out to be mutual, because he'd
discovered girls just didn't interest him. He liked Petey and a
few other boys he hung out with, and that was it. He'd let me put
my legs on his shoulders when I wasn't going with anyone else and
wanted someone down there, though he confessed once that he did it
only because I asked him. In return I let him use our swimming
pool without his ever having to ask. Oh yes, I also got good
grades in school, very good grades, though that was never what
school was really about as far as I was concerned.
II.
So along came that summer when I was nearly seventeen, and had
half the boys in my class, practically, under my pussy or my thumb.
But that summer nearly every boy I knew left town. They went to be
camp counselors, or for sports training, or to learn mountain
climbing, what they called "Leadership School." What a joke! Some
wimp hangs from a rope between some rock and nowhere, and that's
how he learns how to be a leader. Really! Any girl who can't get
a guy to do that any time she wants ought to turn in her tits.
Anyhow, some guys went out of town because there weren't too many
summer jobs that year, or else they were farmed out to relatives in
other cities to broaden their experience. Ronnie talked his
parents into letting him spend part of the summer with an Uncle who
lives in Provincetown, on Cape Cod, and then talked Petey's parents
into letting Petey go there too. Some families moved out of town,
the way families do. It's sad when that happens, just before a kid
finally get to be a Senior in High School and can do anything. But
it happens.
It also happens that families move in. In fact it happened
just down the street from us. Right after school ended I noticed
how dull everything got suddenly, how the place emptied out. There
were still a few guys around, of course, not my usual crowd, though
you make do with what you've got. I almost took up my mother's
idea I should find summer work of some kind to earn money for
college. In fact, that's what my family still thinks I did do,
that that's where I got all that money I saved up that summer, that
that's how I won that whopping scholarship that's paid my way
through college mostly. I guess in a way I did find summer work.
For sure I found what I wanted to do when I graduated.
This new family that moved in down the street a block away
wasn't really a family. Just two people, a mother and a son. The
day the movers came I saw him outside cutting the grass. He looked
to be about my age, a little taller but not much, and real thin,
though it was hard to tell from a distance because he favored loose
clothes. He had long hair worn straight and loose the way all the
guys did that year, when only geeks wore pony tails. A girl's hair
that year had to be long too, but mainly it had to be as crimped
and curly as rollers and hot irons and drug store permanent waves
could get it. Slaves to fashion, that's what we all are, all of
us. The guys too. But this guy checked out OK on that score.
My mother went over with a tray of sandwiches the day they
moved in, and stayed about an hour. "Nice people," she reported to
my father and me at dinner. "At least she's very nice. Jane is
her name. She runs some kind of merchandising by mail thing, and
is very successful at it to judge by the furniture and china
they've got. Spode, service for twelve, she was unpacking and
putting away -- beautiful -- it must be priceless! I don't know
why she didn't buy a bigger house on the other side of town, but
she says this one is ample for the two of them, and she likes the
location. She was divorced when her son was just starting
kindergarten, she tells me -- her husband ran off, or ran off once
too often, or something. The boy seems a little quiet, maybe even
shy, but he's very polite, very well brought up. He'll be a Senior
when school begins again, same as you, JayCee. I told them you'd
come over some time and introduce yourself, and maybe show him
around a little, where you kids hang out, things like that. With
school out and so many families away, he's got no way to meet
people his own age. His name's Marion."
I didn't say anything. My Mom was always trying to fix me up
with boys she thought she could trust, our cousins for example,
which is how my ass lost its cherry and my Uncle lost his baseball.
Or with boys from families that belong to our church -- she thinks
they're respectable because they call her "ma'am." I tell her
they're the worst, because by the time she quits talking me up they
think she's already guaranteed them a piece of my ass, and they
expect me to hand them the rest on a platter. That's why so often
I hand them their own asses, not always as nicely as I did it that
time with Ronnie and Petey. I stay away from polite creeps.
They're the worst.
What I was actually thinking was, with a name like 'Marion'
this kid better be a fighter, with a nickname like "Spike" or
"Crusher," something to slow the guys down when they want to lean
on him a little. Polite won't cut it. Boys like to push each
other. Nice boys in our neighborhood don't stay that way.
Anyhow, a week later I happened to be out front getting ready
to visit my friend Marcie, when I saw this Marion kid coming down
the sidewalk toward me wearing his oversized shirt and baggy pants,
carrying a plastic bag from that drugstore in the mall on the
highway two blocks south of us. Sort of hip-hop, his clothes, I
saw, acceptable enough, big, everything out and hanging loose. I
checked myself. Just the reverse -- real tight jeans and a black
stretch sleeveless pullover with a turtle neck, no bra, fresh
lipstick I'd just put on to show Marcie the shade I think goes with
a jumper she just bought. My hair up in the Betty Grable forties
look I'm trying out. I'm OK, I decided. If I smile at him he'll
fall over.
So I crouched down pretending to do something with a flower
bed alongside the sidewalk, and when he got nearer I wiggled my
tail at him a little. Looking him over sideways, I could see he
was trying hard not to notice me, the way polite boys do, but he
couldn't help himself. Then when he was just about to pass by I
suddenly stood up in front of him and faced him down and smiled.
I gave him both barrels at close range. I can be devastating when
I want to be, and I can be mean, too, and sometimes it's the same
thing. I didn't know which it was yet myself, in this case.
He stopped walking as if he'd hit a wall, and then he stared
at me with no change of expression.
"Hi!" I said brightly. "I'm JayCee, the girl who lives here?
My mother was over to your house the other day, a week ago? When
you were moving in, and she met you and your mother?" I saw he had
huge almond-shaped eyes and long black lashes and high cheekbones.
Close up he looked real cute! In fact he was a living doll!
Stroke him the right way, and he'll purr like a cat I'll bet. Or
a tiger. He might be worth getting to know after all!
He smiled just a bit, a little nervous, and he passed the bag
he was carrying over to his other hand, then half-hid it behind his
leg. I'd already seen through the plastic that it had some big
bottles of pills, and a big blue and purple package with "Kotex
OverNite Maxi Pads" in white letters. No mystery -- he was on an
errand for his mother. But at his age mothers can seem an
embarrassment. "Sure," he said. "JayCee. Your mother said you
might be coming by real soon. I'm pleased to meet you."
"I'll walk you," I said. "Then I'll have come by." No sense
letting anyone get any advantage over you, any time. I started
down the sidewalk. But he kept standing there, so I stopped and
looked back at him over my shoulder, and I gave him my slow steady
inquiring look with one eyebrow raised real high. I once turned
two football players into drooling mush with that look.
"No, I didn't mean that," he said, now altogether flustered.
"I mean I'm very pleased to meet you. I was looking forward to
it." Now he clutched his shopping bag in front of him with both
hands.
I realized that he was one of those boys who have a hard time
speaking to girls, a late bloomer or something. He wasn't just
jockeying for position when he'd said that about me supposed to
come by and I didn't, trying to hang a guilt trip on me. He'd said
it because that was all he could think to say. He understood that
I misunderstood him and that I was miffed, and now he was trying to
apologize and be nice! Now that was something! The other boys I
knew wouldn't have had a clue to anything that had already happened
in this little conversation, and if they could have figured it out
they couldn't have cared less!
"Likewise," I said, and this time I gave him my special smile.
Sincere. I really do have one, though there isn't much call for
it. "I'll walk you. I'd like to." Should I tell him I've seen
him cutting the grass? No, too relaxed and neighborly. Keep the
initiative. Stay on him.
"Your name's Marion, isn't it," I noted.
He realized he'd forgotten to say so, and felt further
disadvantaged, which was my intention. "Yes." he said. "'Marion'
spelled with an 'O.' That was John Wayne's name, too, before he
was John Wayne."
The poor boy was belly up! So sensitive about having a name
that sounds like a girl's that he had a canned speech prepared to
prove he's really a man's man like John Wayne. Who'd doubted it?
Obviously he was first in line!
I decided to keep after him. "Marion with an 'O," I said.
"That's pronounced 'Marianne,' right? Then you won't mind if I
call you 'Marianne'? 'Mary' for short, maybe?" Then the clincher
so he wouldn't dare object. "It sounds more friendly that way.
You don't mind, do you?" Now let him hang himself. What's in a
name?
He surrendered. "No, not at all," he said. "Whatever you
like." I had him. He was outclassed. But he *knew* he was
outclassed, and that showed more intelligence than ever glimmered
in any of the boys I knew. I decided that I liked him. Maybe I
should have come by after all? I decided that this could be a
prize fish, so I should reel him in. Keep up the pressure so he
won't throw the hook.
"Mary," I said to him, taking his arm real comfy, so he'd know
I wasn't being sarcastic or threatening, but also so he wouldn't
spook and run off, "Why did you buy Kotex at the mall? Are you
having your period now?"
I hung on tight until he could get a grip on himself. Now his
doll face was bright red. "Oh, JayCee," he said finally. "Quit
teasing me, OK?"
Terrific! I loved it! He respected himself after all! He
didn't fall all over himself to explain the obvious, that it was
for his mother. He was uneasy about his name, but he didn't feel
totally apologetic about everything, as if everyone's opinion but
his own mattered. He knew I was mocking and testing him, maybe
even insulting him, but he took off the edge by calling it teasing.
And it worked! All of a sudden, I'd only been teasing him, in a
friendly way, the way girls do when they meet an interesting guy.
I liked that. I squeezed his arm to tell him, and I knew he knew
that too. His blush faded, not altogether. "OK, Marianne," I
said. No reason to back off just because I was beginning to like
him. "Deal!"
"What're the pills?" I asked him, now just making
conversation. We were only about halfway to his house from mine.
"Vitamins," he said. "I had asthma and such when I was
little, and I took a lot of pills. Now my mother feels better when
I take them."
"Prescription vitamins? Let's see!" I could see the typed RX
labels through the translucent plastic bag, so I reached over and
took the bag from him before he could pull back and be embarrassed
into playing tug of war, and I reached in and started reading the
bottles. They had his mother's name on them, not his.
"These pills are for your mother too," I said, to put my Kotex
taunt behind us once and for all.
"She's got the health insurance policy," he said, "So she gets
the prescriptions, even the ones for me."
Was he kidding me now? About asthma and vitamin pills? I
could read, and I saw that these were birth control pills. Female
hormones of some kind. One was "Estynil Estradiol" and the other
was "Progesterone." The same stuff the doctor started me on last
year, to make my period more regular, and as Mom said, to forestall
any little problems. Only mine come in a cute little pill wheel
inside a compact, so I won't forget to take one each day, or forget
which one. And mine are a lot smaller. These were big pills, like
the kind my Mom started taking after her hysterectomy, massive
doses of female hormones to keep her in womanly trim. I checked
again in the bag. It was Kotex all right. No hysterectomy. A
mystery. I decided he was kidding me but wasn't very good at it.
"Well, here we are, Mary," I said. We stopped for a moment on
the sidewalk in front of his house. And I added sincerely, because
he needed all the encouragement he could get, obviously, "It's nice
that we live near each other, Marianne." He smiled. "I like you.
You stop by. We have a pool."
He hesitated, and then asked if I'd like to come in and meet
his mother. Meaning he wanted me to meet her. Meaning, he really
liked me too. He led the way into the kitchen, and there she was
standing by the window, cutting vegetables.
Marion's mother was thin too, like him, with a nice figure,
and though she wore no makeup at all it was obvious that she could
look stunning whenever she chose -- she had the same high
cheekbones as her son, and the same almond-shaped eyes, and she had
the same black lashes, though on a woman you can never tell. She
carried herself like a dancer -- there was something poised and
formally gracious even in the way she turned to greet me. Her hair
was fairly long for a woman her age, and piled high up on her head,
the way mine was pinned up. She made pleased and surprised noises
to see the two of us together, looking from one of us to the other
and saying something about my mother's visit the day they first
moved in. So she knew who I was already, without being introduced.
I saw that the kitchen window in front of her cutting board on the
counter gave her a full view of our entire promenade, from my
calculated crouch in front of my own house practically to their
front steps. I glanced out that window, then at his mother again.
She was watching me, and we saw we understood each other perfectly.
She smiled. Marion put the bag on the kitchen table between them.
"JayCee, isn't it," his mother said wiping a hand on her
apron, and offering it. "I'm Jane. Just 'Jane' please. No
formalities here. I'm delighted to meet you, I'm sure you know
that." Then to her son, "You got the prescriptions too, Marion?
The vitamins? Yes, here they are." She opened the pill bottles
and took two from one, then one from the other, huge as pills go,
and handed them to him. "Take these now," she told him. "Then if
you don't mind, that washing machine isn't hooked up right. Would
you mind going down and reversing the hoses, and put it up on its
blocks, and check it over, then holler to me when you think it's
finally installed right, so I can bring down some washing and we
can test it out?"
"Sure, Mom," he said. "I'll see you, JayCee!"
"When you come up. I'll look after your friend meanwhile.
I'd like to get to know JayCee a little, if she doesn't mind, now
that she's here. You go down and we'll talk, and we'll be here
when you've done what you need to do."
He went down to the cellar to fix the washing machine or
whatever. I looked at her expectantly. She hadn't gotten rid of
her son just to pass the time of day with me. "Your mother told me
you were a nice girl," his mother said to me when we were out of
his hearing. "She didn't tell me you were also clever. I see that
for myself. I'm pleased to know you."
"Likewise," I said, not much into formalities myself. I
looked her straight in the eye, and she looked straight into mine.
I liked her immediately. "Mrs....um, Jane, you have a nice son.
I like him."
"Yes, I just heard you tell him that," she commented with a
small smile. Meaning she'd also heard me call him Mary. She
didn't seem to mind. Also meaning, she didn't want secrets between
us.
This emboldened me, but I remembered my manners. "Can I ask
you something, Mrs...Jane, I mean? Right out, with no 'I know its
really none of my business, but...' stuff?"
I had never spoken to anyone like that before. Not so blunt.
But Marion's mother seemed to invite it. I could sense that, and
I wanted her respect, and I sensed this was how to get it.
"Absolutely, JayCee! No 'none of my business stuff...'
between us ever, OK?"
"Great!" I said thinking to myself that there were certainly
some secrets around here, if she's that open about being open with
me. "I guess I've got two questions, really. The first is, why
did you name your son 'Marion'? That was asking for trouble for
him."
She looked at me steadily, then sat down at the table and
leaned on her elbows, and twined her wrists together and clasped
her hands. It was a graceful gesture, like an actress or a model,
and I thought I might try that some time myself. It might be
useful. She found it useful, obviously. She nodded for me to sit
too, so I did.
"You ask without preliminaries, so I'll answer the same way.
By the time Marion was born I knew I was going to divorce his
father. His father is a real shit, a vicious man with no respect
for anyone he can't control, especially women, and a foul-mouthed
wife-beater. I'd wanted a daughter of my very own, so at least I
could carry something good away from my years with him, not a son
who might look up to that bastard and maybe some day choose to
live with him, and to think and behave like him. And a daughter
he'd never contest during a divorce. He'd want all kinds of rights
over a son."
"But we take what we get. I got a boy. So I gave him a boy's
name I could imagine was a girl's name, and everyone else could
think was a girl's name if they wanted to. That way I saw to it
that I was asking for the right kind of trouble for him. He's
still a little defensive, the way adolescent boys are, but you must
have noticed, he doesn't feel it's al all demeaning to be carrying
what sounds like a girl's name. You can call him 'Mary' to tease
him, if you like, or even 'Marianne' all the time, and it doesn't
bother him at all. He takes no notice. He's not insulted that his
name sounds like a girl's. He respects girls. He's had to learn
to respect them in order to respect himself, and not go through
life cringing and apologizing for things that aren't his fault."
She sat back and smiled. "Then when his father came home from some
long overseas engineering and whoring trip and got infuriated to
learn that he now had a son named Marion, well, that was another
plus."
"Ok, Mrs. ... uh, ma'am, fair enough. Just now I...."
"'Jane,' please, JayCee, if you don't mind."
"No, Jane, I don't mind at all. I like it. I like you too."
I really did. Why did I want her to know right off? "That
explains why he didn't mind my calling him 'Marianne' or 'Mary.'
I didn't get anywhere near him with that."
"Closer than you'd think, but not the way you'd think, JayCee.
'Marianne's' a lovely version of 'Marion.' And so is he. I wish
I'd thought of it! I'm glad you did. You had another question?"
"Yes, ma'am. Yes, Jane. This one's a little more serious."
I really hesitated, then I just blurted it out. "Why are you
feeding your son female hormones and telling him they're vitamins?"
Jane glanced at the bottles between us on the table, then
looked at me mildly but steadily. "When he was a boy he had
asthma," she said, "And he got accustomed to taking vitamin
supplements and allergy shots. He thinks he still is."
That wasn't really relevant, except that now I knew that he
was also shooting up female hormones, and didn't know that either.
Pretty heavy duty stuff. I sat there waiting.
"May I ask how you know what these are?" She picked one up
and held it as if to read the label, but didn't bother looking at
it.
I told her. And how I knew they weren't for her.
She glanced at the Kotex package when I mentioned it, with a
quick smile. Then she resumed looking straight at me. She added
gently, as if reminiscing, "Yes, I saw you reading the labels
earlier while you two were walking here. I knew you knew. And I
notice that neither then nor just now did you say anything to him.
You saw as soon as you both walked in here that he didn't even
blink when I called them vitamins and handed him some. He still
thinks they're vitamins. "
Now I felt like a co-conspirator. Was that was how she wanted
me to feel?
"He also gets hormone shots, as I've just told you, and I have
his blood monitored carefully each month. I love him, and I take
no chances with him. He needs to overcome his body's natural
production of male hormones, so he needs heavy doses of estrogen
and so forth. If he'd had an arranged accident when he was
younger, and lost his testicles, he could have gone on much smaller
doses to complete his puberty. But it's too late now -- now he'd
think it was a disaster if it happened, and I don't want him to
suffer anything traumatic like that ever!"
But she still wasn't answering my question.
She looked steadily at me a moment longer, then she suddenly
straightened up. "JayCee," she said. "Can I talk to you frankly,
woman to woman? No 'stuff' at all?"
Now she really wanted to make me a co-conspirator, no question
about it. What she wanted to say was not to be known even by her
own son. It could be a barrier between me and Marion, if we ever
got close. I hesitated, but I'd never known anyone like this
woman. She was elegant and yet down-to-earth, direct yet extremely
tactful, gracious, smart, and she knew her own mind. She was
already some of the things I realized I wanted to be. "Yes, of
course, ah, Jane," I said. She knew I knew what she was really
asking. But that wasn't good enough for her. She had to underline
it.
"What I say now never leaves this room. And Marion or
'Marianne' is never to hear of it. Are you willing to agree to
that?"
"Sure," I said. I love mysteries, and a big one was about to
be unfolded.
"I just told you that when Marion was born I wanted a girl,
didn't I?"
I nodded.
"Well, in a nutshell, I'm getting one. Marion is becoming a
girl. I've arranged for him to have a girl's puberty instead of a
boy's puberty. He doesn't know it himself yet, but this summer
coming up is a crucial one for his development. I want to use it
to ease his transition to living as a girl full time by the time
school begins again, not merely so he'll accept it, but so he'll
enjoy it. So he'll love it! So he can start school this Fall as
a girl, and never again be anything else, and for the rest of his
life never look back. Never wish to be anything else. That's one
reason why we moved here, where no one knows him. No questions, no
curiosity, no mockery. A whole new beginning."
I was dumbfounded. I leaned forward and asked her yet again.
"Jane, why are you doi
