Altered Fates: Body Double free porn video

Rick Mason woke up to his wife's giggles. He had been sleeping in because he had 3 days off his company gave him for all of the late night hours put in to correct some serious computer problems. Rick rolled over and was shocked to discover he had breasts! Now wide-awake, he sat up in bed and felt the newly acquired flesh on his chest bounce around. He also had a lock of blonde hair fall into his face. He automatically swept the hair back behind his left ear, just as his wife would do. Rick's wife, Cindy laughed again and said "oh my God, you did that just like me, How did you know to do that?" Rick was becoming annoyed, he didn't know how he had gotten breasts and long blonde hair and his wife was laughing at him. " What happened to me", he said "How did this happen?" Cindy's laughs rang out again, she sat down on the bed next to her husband and tried not to smile, " I did it honey and you look great, I never knew I was as attractive as this." Rick was still confused and now he was getting mad. " Tell me what you did and then undo it, I don't like this." "I can't undo babe," Cindy told him, "not for about 12 hours but as soon as the time is up, I'll change you back. I found a necklace at a yard sale last week and accidentally discovered it could change people into other people. If you wear the medallion and touch a piece of clothing to it, you become the person that owned that piece of clothing." Rick took this in as he slowly reached under the sheet that covered the lower part of his body, he then let out a scream, " What have you done with my . . . I have a vagina!" Cindy giggled again and said "Of course you do silly, I turned you into me and I have a vagina. Something you have been very happy about in the past I might add". Rick jumped out of bed and winced as his new breasts bounced painfully from moving too fast. He walked over to the full length mirror in the corner. He noticed his center of gravity had shifted slightly and his color perception seemed different maybe because Cindy had green eyes and he had brown. He stepped in front of the mirror and in fact saw his wife, nude, reflected back. Rick looked closely , hoping for an indication of a wig or glued on breast forms but knew it was real. He had felt his finger, complete with a long fingernail, penetrate his new vagina. He was really a woman. "Why did you do this to me Cindy?" He asked his smiling wife. "I should have asked you first," she admitted, " but I can change you back, really I can. I just couldn't resist the temptation. You really are very pretty you know, I'm tempted to change into you and see what sex with a beautiful woman is like." Rick was appalled, " You wouldn't do that, would you?" he asked, his face full of genuine terror. Cindy smiled with compassion in her face, " no sweetie, I wouldn't do that, not unless you decided you wanted to do it too. Do you?" "No, absolutely not, I am not gay, men do not interest me," he stated emphatically. Cindy laughed at his reaction and assured him he was safe with her. "Now, why did you feel you had to change my sex," Rick asked. Cindy suggested he put on a robe or something and she would get them both a cup of coffee, then she would explain her idea. Rick walked into the closet and pulled his robe on. It was much too big. Rick had stood 6' 2" and weighed 180, he worked out 2-3 times a week and had no fat anywhere on his body. Cindy was 5' 3" and weighed a petite 100. She had 36c cup breasts which her small frame caused to look larger than they actually were. Rick reluctantly took down Cindy's flowered robe. He would have preferred the terry cloth robe but Cindy had that on. Rick had to fiddle with the robe to fasten it properly, he forgot to wrap it the other way around his now curvaceous body. When he had the robe tied properly, it accentuated his breasts. Rick walked into the kitchen and sat down on the stool by the counter. He found out the counter was uncomfortably high now since he had lost 8 inches in height. Cindy sat a cup of steaming coffee in front of him and a carton of cream. Rick ignored the cream and sipped the coffee, he grimaced and added cream and sugar. "I used to like my coffee black he said, now I want cream and sugar." Cindy nodded, " I know, you seem to take on some of the habits and preferences of the person you become." Rick asked his wife who she had become. Cindy blushed at the memory. " I bought the medallion at a yard sale in a box of jewelry. I was going through the stuff, trying on different items. I only paid $5.00 for the box and I found several good items in it. I was throwing away the broken and junky pieces. I put this one piece on and it looked tarnished. I used a T-shirt I had bought at another sale to polish it. I felt a tingle run through my entire body. I watched myself change into a 14-year-old boy. When I polished the medallion with the T-shirt, that caused the change. I had to figure that out later on. I looked just like the boy who was helping his mother run the sale, pimples, short brown hair and a raging hard on. I had noticed the boy looking at me, I'm used to men staring at me so I didn't think about it at the time. I thought he had somehow caused us to trade bodies." "I was frantic, I thought I was stuck. I looked at the medallion and tried to read something on it but I couldn't make anything out. It has a picture of a fairy or an angel on it and it's really cheap looking. I tried holding it and wishing, I tried taking it off and putting it back on, nothing worked. I wanted to call you but you were flying back from that day trip to Michigan and I couldn't reach you. I got really scared and took a couple of drinks to calm myself down. I didn't think about the body being so young and two drinks knocked me out. When I woke up, I felt like hell, I threw up for 30 minutes and then I felt better." "I took a shower because I smelled so bad. I found out what a male orgasm feels like in the shower. I couldn't stop myself. When I dried off, I put the medallion on again. Nothing happened until I put on one of my T-shirts. I felt the same tingle run over me again. I yelled out loud I was so happy. It takes about a half hour to change and you really don't feel anything after the tingle." "When the change was done, I dressed up in my sexiest outfit and waited for you to come home. That was the night you told me you felt almost raped. I was so happy to be a girl again, I can't describe it." "I experimented with the medallion over the last few weeks. It takes 12 hours for it to work on the same person again. I assume it can work on another person at the same time. It can change your whole body or just parts if you use clothing that hasn't been worn before. I bought a bra with d cups and made my breasts bigger. I changed back as soon as I could because they were too big and uncomfortable. I have turned myself into a couple of different women and once, I changed into a very small child. That was an accident, I thought I had a very small woman's short dress, it turned out to be a little girls dress. I was about 5 years for 12 hours. I scared myself then because my mind regressed to 5 years also except I could remember being me and being your wife. I played with my clothes and makeup, just like a little girl. I remembered to change back when the time was up. I didn't really feel scared until after I was an adult again. I could remember thinking I wanted to stay a little girl. When I found out you were going to be home for 3 days, I decided to let you in my secret. If I just told you, you wouldn't believe me." "But why change me into a woman, into you?" Rick asked. "I have a reason," Cindy said. " I have a new dress I am sewing and I need a model to fit it to. What better model than myself. This way I get to see it exactly as it will fit me. I can even go back and correct some other dresses I have, to fit me better." "Wrong, said Rick," I am not wearing women's clothes, I'm no cross-dresser." Cindy smiled and pointed out women who wear dresses are not cross dressers. "Look Rick, I really love you and I do a lot of things for you I don't like to do. I keep the house clean and I work full-time. I also give you head from time to time and I could live the rest of my life without doing that again." Rick accepted what she said as being true. He didn't do much around the house but he did work 65 to 75 hours a week. Of course he got paid well. Cindy worked because she had insisted on the big house they live in. She needed to work to help make the house payment. Rick decided to give in, but he wanted something in return. "Okay, I'll help but you have to put a smile on my face every morning for a week. No smile, no dress model." Cindy smiled on the inside, she had to make it look good though. " 4 days over the next 2 weeks" she countered. Rick shook his head, his blonde hair flying out and falling against his face. "No deal unless it 7 days, in a row starting tomorrow and I get changed back the second the 12 hours is up." Rick also insisted Cindy show him where the medallion was kept and that she leave it home when she went to work that evening. Cindy gave in. She told Rick to go shower and use a skin conditioner, she wanted his skin clean and smooth so the material moved easy over his female body. Rick didn't protest too much about this, he was interested as to what a shower would feel like in a woman's body. Rick hung the robe up and stepped into the shower, he had to turn the hot water down, his new body was more sensitive to the heat. Rick lathered up his breasts and could not believe how good it felt. Rick spent far too long cleaning his body and Cindy had to come in the bathroom to speed him up. She gave him instructions on using the skin conditioner and he soon was toweling off his body and hair. Cindy had Rick sit down and she dried his long hair with a blow dryer and wide tooth comb. Rick really enjoyed the sensation of having his hair combed, he found it relaxing. Cindy handed Rick a pair of lacy panties. Rick objected but Cindy explained that for the dress to be fitted properly he would need to wear the same underwear she would wear with it. Cindy then helped him put on a Victoria's Secret bra that pushed his tits together and made them seem bigger, Cindy showed Rick how to put on panty hose. "Why do I need to wear these?" he asked. "Because they affect how the dress will fit and move on my body, our bodies in fact." Cindy told him Rick sat down and followed Cindy's directions and soon had the panty hose on. The feel of the panties against his flat crotch was intensified by the feeling he got from the second skin covering his lower body. Rick didn't argue when Cindy placed a pair of black high heels in front of him, he simply stepped into them. Rick took a couple of steps and almost fell. Cindy suggested he not try to walk, just walk without thinking about it. Rick found he could walk easier that way but it was going to take some practice. Cindy dropped her dress over Rick's head and zipped up the back zipper. She had Rick step up on the coffee table so she could get a better look and had him turn around a few time. Cindy began putting pins in the dress where she wanted to take it up and then had Rick take the dress off. Rick wanted to get undressed but Cindy told him she would need to try the dress on again. Rick sat down in Cindy's underwear, feeling somewhat out of place. He was bored watching her sew so he went into the bedroom and looked in the mirror at his underwear clad female body. Rick was fascinated by his appearance. He hadn't seen himself in the dress so he took another dress down. This was a red knit dress with a scoop neck and short sleeves, the hem of the dress stopped 3 inches above his knees. Rick pulled the dress over his head and settled it into place. It fit like a glove. His breasts were displayed in the neckline with ample cleavage showing. Rick was turning back and forth watching the dress flare out when Cindy suggested he needed makeup. Rick blushed in embarrassment, he had been caught. "I just got curious as to what I looked like in a dress." He admitted. Cindy smiled warmly, "I understand, It's natural to wonder, Just like I wondered what a male orgasm was like. Would you like to try some makeup, it makes a big difference." Rick felt uncomfortable admitting it but, as a matter of fact, he would like to try makeup, just to see what it looked and felt like. Rick just nodded his head, his long, honey colored hair moving across his shoulders. Cindy moved Rick over to her dressing table and he sat down in the chair. Cindy showed Rick how to apply foundation, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow and lipstick. She showed him what color looked best with the red dress. When Cindy was done she was pleased with the appearance of her husband. He looked beautiful. She thought about leaving him this way but knew it wouldn't work. Best to stick to the plan. Rick was amazed at how sexy he thought he looked. He toyed with the idea of going to their favorite bar and seeing what happened but dismissed the idea immediately. He was still a man inside and just being curious wasn't reason enough. Cindy had Rick model the red dress for her and she put a few pins in it as well. She took the dress off of Rick and told him to pick out another one and put it on. For the next 2 hours, Rick tried on dress after dress and Cindy pinned those that needed alterations. When they were done, Cindy started sewing again. She finished half the dresses and stopped. She tried the dresses on Rick and they all fit fine with no need for extra work. After they had gone through all of her dresses, Cindy told Rick he could dress anyway he wanted, she intended to work on her sewing until she had to get ready to go to work. Cindy was working away when Rick walked into the room where Cindy had her machine. He cleared his throat and Cindy turned around. Rick was wearing her sexiest nightie, thigh highs and a pair of high heels. Cindy started to laugh then she looked again. She was looking at herself wearing the sexist outfit she had. To her surprise, it turned her on. She got immediately hot. "Wow, is that what I look like in that? I never really knew how sexy that outfit was. Maybe it's because it's you Rick, but I am suddenly very, very horny." Cindy said, the last words a hoarse whisper. "I was just playing around Cindy but I feel it too. Have you ever been with another girl before?" He asked. "No, but I bet you have." Cindy said with a smile. Rick laughed but it came out a girlish giggle, he stopped and they looked into each others eyes and Cindy stood up. They embraced and began kissing. Rick was the one with the experience with women but Cindy owned the bodies they each wore. She knew where the hot spots were. They moved to the bedroom and using tongues and lips and gentle teeth they brought each other to climax over and over again. When they were done, Cindy lay there, reconsidering her plan. She looked at the alarm clock by the bed. Too late to stop Jake. No turning back now. She wished she had tried this two women thing with Rick before, but now she was committed. She disentangled herself from Rick who had fallen asleep. She had to be to work in an hour. She got in the shower and was soaping her body when Rick asked if he could join her. "I'd love to honey but I have to get ready for work, I can't be late today. Maybe when I get home." Cindy said. "Cindy, I've been thinking." Rick said I really enjoyed what we just did. I wonder if you could... well, uh, (giggle), would you change into me tonight and then we could... you know, try it the other way?" Cindy stopped washing and opened the curtain. "You really want to try sex with me as a man?" Cindy asked. She was incredulous. Her he-man husband wanting to let her make love to him with his own body! "Yes, I think I do, could we? I mean, if you want to that is." Rick was blushing furiously. "Sure, we can try it, sounds like fun." Cindy closed the curtain and finished her shower. It did sound like fun, she would have to get Jake to let her try it on him. Cindy dressed and left for her job. Rick was sitting in the living room wearing a robe. Rick tried watching TV and then playing a computer game but his new body was restless. He wanted to be outside, moving around. He thought about a jog but decided to go grocery shopping. Rick made out a list including tampons and sanitary pads. He wouldn't be embarrassed to buy them today. Rick looked for something to wear to the store, he considered jeans and a T-shirt but decided on something a little more fashionable. He selected a short blue stripped dress that had a pleated skirt and a scoop neck. The neckline displayed a modest amount of cleavage when he wore one of Cindy's Wonder Bras. He finished the outfit with a pair of 2 inch heels that matched the dress. Rick located a small purse and placed some money in it since the dress didn't have any pockets. He then went out to the garage to get into his car. When he got there, his car was missing, just the old jeep they took camping was present. Rick went back in and called Cindy at work. "Cindy, this is Rick, where is my car?" he asked her. "Oh, I forgot to tell you in the excitement this morning. I loaned it to Jake. He needed to go on a job interview." Cindy explained. "I'm sorry, since you were off today, I thought it would be okay." Rick wasn't too upset. Jake was his best friend. He had been having a hard time lately and if he had a job interview Rick would have loaned him the car himself. "No problem honey, I'll just take the Jeep." Rick said. "Oh, Are you going out?" Cindy felt herself begin to panic and forced herself to remain calm. "Yeah, just to the store, too antsy to sit around the house, we need some stuff and I thought I'd rent a movie or two." "Okay, just be careful. Uh, what if someone makes a pass at you in the store?" Cindy asked. Rick chuckled. "Honey you're cute, no, you're beautiful, but do you get hit on in the grocery store much?" "No, not really, I guess. I just wasn't sure you would want to go out in my body is all." Cindy said. "Well, if it was this morning, when I first woke up," Rick admitted, "no, I would not have wanted to go out. Now though, I am interested in seeing how men look at me and how I feel when they do. I'm wearing a plain white T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans and your running shoes. I think it will be fun. I'll see you later, bye." he had lied but he heard the doubt in her voice, he didn't want her to be worried. Rick hung up before Cindy could object. She fumed about it for a few minutes and then decided there was nothing she could do about it. If the plan went as she had designed it, then Rick running around in her body wouldn't cause a problem. She tries to concentrate on her job and hoped the plan worked. Rick had to adjust the seat in the jeep all the way forward to accommodate his shorter legs. He drove to the store and filled his shopping basket. He found reaching the upper shelves impossible and had to be handed things several times by helpful store employees and other customers. He also found out pushing a loaded cart was much more difficult with no upper body strength. Normally Rick didn't get a bagger to push his purchases to the car, but today he did. The boy that did so, was paying close attention to Rick's breasts and Rick let him, enjoying the compliment. Rick tipped the boy at the car and even winked at him. The boy blushed and ran back inside. Rick was about to climb in the jeep when a hand grabbed him from behind and another clamped over his mouth. Before he could react he heard HIS voice say, "Relax , it's me." Rick turned around and saw his own body standing before him Cindy must have gotten off early and decided to surprise him. He blushed when he remembered how he was dressed. Cindy was looking him over like she approved. Cindy took Rick into her now strong male arms and kissed Rick hard on the lips. Rick felt the difference between this kiss and the one's they had exchanged earlier. Now he was kissing a larger, stronger body with rougher skin and beard stubble. Not that Rick was complaining. Rick's new body was responding very positively. He was getting very wet and his nipples felt like they were going to pierce through the thin bra cups. "I have to have you now," Cindy said. "Lets drive out to the lake." Rick just nodded and they both got into the Jeep. Rick moved across to the passenger side and while Cindy drove, Rick caressed different parts of Cindy's now male body. When they arrived at the lake, Cindy parked and pulled a blanket out of the back and spread it on the ground behind the 4x4. Rick walked to the blanket and kicked his heels off and sat down, his legs out to the side, leaning on one hand and one hip. Cindy lay down facing Rick and kissed him. It was different from earlier today but this was a different body Cindy was using. The kissing got more intense and Rick began breathing heavy. He had never felt this level of arousal. Not even the love making between the two Cindy's generated as much passion. Rick felt Cindy slip his panties down and off his legs. Then, Cindy positioned herself between Rick's shapely, smooth legs. Rick opened Cindy' fly and reached in. Rick took hold of his own manhood using his smaller, female hands. It seemed so large now and it was so hard. He looked at it in the bright moonlight. It looked bigger than he remembered. He became a little afraid it was going to hurt when Cindy pushed it inside him. The passion quickly replaced that feeling as Rick lay back to accept the throbbing member. Cindy moved between Rick's legs and paused with the tip pressed against the wet opening there. Rick was suddenly scared. "What would having that thing shoved inside him feel like. What if it hurt?" He thought, frantic now. Before Rick could voice an objection, Cindy thrust inside him, driving all the way in. Rick muffled a scream. It did hurt but only at first. Now it was wonderful. Cindy was pounding into him for all she was worth. In just minutes, Cindy came deep in Rick's core, grunting with the effort. Then she lay down on top of Rick until she had deflated enough that they were no longer connected. Cindy lay down next to Rick. Rick was enjoying the afterglow that accompanied female orgasms. The sex just now had been good, very good, but he wasn't sure he would call it great. He wouldn't turn down a chance to do it again though. "I thought you had to work tonight?" Cindy asked Rick. The question chilled Rick's soul. This wasn't Cindy laying here with him! He had just had sex with some else! What was going on here? He thought fast and answered. "I called in sick, I wanted to keep an eye on Rick." He said. "How is he taking being a woman, did he freak like I thought he might?" "Well, let's just say he took it laying down. Uh, he won't come out of the bedroom. I need to get back before he gets suspicious." Rick said. "Look, Cindy, I'm sorry I didn't follow your instructions to the letter but I had to see you. I just can't bear to be apart from you." "Maybe you better tell me everything you did tonight and let me see how badly you may have screwed up." Rick told the man. He now knew something was up that involved Cindy and this man but why did he have on his body. It must be Jake, the bastard he thought was his best friend. Now if he could get Jake to tell him what they were up to, maybe he could come out on top. "Okay, I waited until noon, "Jake said, "and went to the woman's apartment. I waited until she went into the house and knocked on the door. She seemed surprised to see me but she let me in. I told her I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop- in. She got me a glass of iced tea and when she turned her back, I grabbed her and dragged her into the bedroom and raped her. She put up a pretty good fight but after I slapped her around a little, she calmed down. I think she may have enjoyed it. Then I made sure there was plenty of semen on the sheets and I tied her up and gagged her and left." I went back to my place to wait but I got lonely. I waited until dark so no one would see me and then I saw you at the store. I had to be with you. The rest you know." Rick was shocked. Cindy was trying to get him sent to prison for rape. He had to get back into his body before it was too late. He needed to get the medallion before Cindy came home. "Okay, Jake, I have to get back home now. I'm changing the plan. You go home and wait for me. I 'll be there soon. Do nothing else, am I clear?" Rick hoped this was Jake, or he just blew it. "I promise Cindy, I'll go home and wait for you." Jake said. Cindy breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, take me back to the store and get home. Where is Rick's car?" "I'm driving it, why?" Jake asked. "It needs to be back home before the police find it, dummy." Rick said. He knew how Cindy was when she was upset. "Okay, here's what we'll do. You follow me back to the house. Park the car in the garage and walk into the house like normal. I'll go in and tell Rick you're there. I guarantee he won't come out looking like he does. Then I'll tell him you returned the car and I'm going to drive you home after you have a drink. Rick will stay in the bed where he has been all day. We can neck in the back room, if you want." Rick gave his best attempt at a sexy look. It must have worked because Jake fell for it. They drove back to the store and Jake got into Rick's big Mercedes. They then drove to Rick's place and Rick went inside first. He made sure Cindy hadn't come home and he had Jake park the car in the garage. Then, Rick parked the Jeep in front of the garage so Cindy wouldn't open the door and see the Mercedes was back when she got home. Rick invited Jake in and made a show of going into the bedroom and pretending to talk to himself. He then came out and got Jake a drink. He loaded the drink heavily with barbiturates from the medicine cabinet and soon Jake was unconscious on the couch. Rick got the medallion out of the drawer where Cindy kept it and found the garment he wanted. He put the medallion on Jake and touched it to the item. Jake's body began to reform itself and in about 30 minutes the change was complete. Rick tired Jake up and gagged him, lashing his body to the bed in the guest room where he had carried him. Rick then put the groceries away that Jake brought in while Rick was in the bathroom. Rick then made ready to receive his loving wife when she arrived home. Rick woke up Jake at about 7pm. Jake woke up slowly and was disoriented. He found it hard to concentrate. He looked up at Cindy's face, she looked very unhappy. "Hello Jake", Rick said, "have a nice nap?" Jake understood the words but was having a hard time thinking. Jake tried to say something but discovered he was gagged and bound. He struggled but he felt weaker and smaller somehow. Rick sat down on the bed next to Jake. "I'm not Cindy Jake, I'm Rick. You should have followed the plan completely. That's always been your problem, you don't follow directions Now here is the new plan Jake. You get to choose, do you want to be a man or do you want to remain the little girl you have become?" At that point, Rick held up a hand mirror and let Jake look into his new blue eyes and at the long, curly, red hair he now possessed. "I do think you make the cutest little girl I have seen in years. I think I'll call you Elizabeth, that's a pretty name, don't you think?" Jake shook his head violently, he struggled against the bandages wrapping his small hands together but to no avail. Rick set the mirror down and told Jake to stop thrashing around. "I said you have a choice Jake, if you cooperate I'll turn you back into a man, if you want. If you don't, I'll drop you off at a state welfare office as a lost child and let the system handle you for the next 13 years. You'll get to grow into a beautiful young woman, then a wife and even a mother some day. Isn't that exciting to think about?" Jake had stopped moving around and was just staring at Rick. He knew he was in trouble, Jake waited since he couldn't do anything else. Rick looked into Jake's eyes and saw the defeat there. He asked Jake if he wanted to cooperate with him. Jake nodded yes. "Fine" said Rick, "tell me the whole plan first, then we'll deal." Jake shook his head, he knew he couldn't deal if he had nothing to offer. Rick said "Okay, remember to sit down before you pee from now on." Rick left the room and closed the door. Jake lay there for an hour then Rick came in wearing a jacket. "Ready to ride in the car honey?" he asked Jake. Jake shook his head, "Ready to tell me what I want to know?" Jake nodded yes. "You better hurry, Cindy is due home soon. Once she is here, I will have to work it out myself. Then, you're just another little girl and I have no need for a little girl. Am I clear? " Jake nodded again. "Okay, if I remove the gag and you scream, I give you another drug and you wake up in a foster home with a new life, are we clear?" Jake nodded yes. Rick released the gag and Jake sucked in some air. He really was cute looking. Rick told Jake to start and no lying. Jake began, he had been sleeping with Cindy for 6 months. She had started the affair. It was her idea to get rid of Rick by having him framed for rape. If he was convicted of a sex offense, Cindy would get the whole marital estate, his savings, his stocks and his retirement accounts. It totaled about $300,000.00 but was currently tied up as security for their house. Cindy wanted to get out of the marriage but if she left, she would get nothing and they would both be saddled with debt for years. This got Rick out of her life and her on easy street. Jake really couldn't explain the credit concepts to Rick but he understood what was happening. Cindy found the medallion 9 months ago and proved it changed the DNA structure of the person changed into the person they changed into. In other words, if Cindy became Rick, she would even have his DNA codes. Cindy convinced Jake to impersonate Rick and rape someone so they could frame Rick. Cindy changed Rick into her twin so no one would see Rick at the house that day and give him an alibi. Cindy was supposed to go to Jake's tonight after work and change him back . She would then change Rick back into himself and the plan would be completed by the local police. Cindy and Jake had manufactured plenty of evidence to put Rick in prison for the rest of his life. As a rapist, Rick would be beaten and used by the hard-core convicts, his life in prison would be short and painful. Rick listened to the story Jake told him and filled in the rest. Jake was More scared than he had ever been. Rick told Jake he had a choice, he could return to being a man, as Rick, and face the justice system to pay for the crime he had committed. The other option was to remain the cute little girl he was now. Jake started crying. Jake cried for awhile and then went to sleep. The five year old body overriding the adult mind. Rick replaced the gag. He knew Jake wouldn't choose prison. He would get the little girl to child welfare after he had finished with Cindy. Cindy got home about 11:30pm. Her plan was to claim she needed tampons and go out for them, swing by Jake's apartment and change him back. Then she would change Rick back and wait for the police to find him. She would be the devoted wife until she realized he was guilty and then she would turn her back on Rick. Cindy walked in the door and saw her double waiting for her. Cindy smiled at the sight of her husband dressed in jeans and a tight T-shirt. Rick smiled as his wife entered the room. He was as ready as he would ever be, now to start the final act. "Hi honey, how was work?" Cindy grimaced, she told him about the usual angry customers and problems working retail management entailed. She then complained about starting her period early and needing to go out for tampons. Rick smiled big and said, "No problem Cindy, I bought you some today when I went shopping. I saw no reason to be embarrassed about it." Cindy cursed to herself, she had no reason to leave the house now. She would have to call Jake and tell him to stay put until tomorrow. Rick handed Cindy a tall drink and sat down on the couch, patting the seat next to him. Cindy took a swallow and sat down. She had to get Rick changed back soon, she didn't know when the police would be there for him. Rick sat on the couch sipping his drink, playing with his long hair like Cindy would do when she was nervous. "Are you ready to change back," Cindy asked him. "Not now, I'm feeling pretty good and thought it might be fun to stay this way for a day or two." Cindy hadn't thought Rick would want to stay a woman, she figured he was too macho to voluntarily be a woman. "Are you sure, I can't keep my part of the bargain if you're not a man, you know." Rick smiled and agreed, "Okay, finish your drink and I'll let you change me back" Cindy relaxed, She took anther swallow and leaned her head back, it was going to be okay she thought. Cindy dosed off and when she woke up, she was surrounded by police, guns drawn, one of them screaming at her. Cindy became very afraid. She knew something had gone very wrong but not what. She was thrown to the floor and someone placed his knee in her back holding her down. She was naked and she was a man. The officer on top of her was calling her Rick. In the background she heard a woman crying, it sounded like her voice. Cindy was handcuffed and dragged outside where she was thrown in the back of a police car, she was taken to jail and fingerprinted and photographed. Her bail was set at $1,000,000.00. Rick sat down in the living room and pondered the last 16 hours. He had woken up as woman, spent the morning trying on all of his wife's clothes. Had sex as a woman with another woman, then had sex with a man. Changed his former best friend into a little girl and shipped her off to the child welfare system. Then he changed his wife into himself and now, he was going to be a woman for quite some time. It was about 2:00 am and he was pretty tired. Tomorrow he would have to pretend to be the loving wife until the evidence became overwhelming and then he would turn on the bastard that raped the poor woman from his office. Rick went to bed. He slept soundly until the phone woke him at 9:00am. "Mrs. Mason?" the voice on the phone asked. Rick was still half asleep and he stammered around for a bit until recalling that he was indeed 'Mrs. Mason' now. "Yes, this is Cindy Mason, who is this?" Rick asked. "My name is Joseph Farmer, I am the court appointed attorney for your husband in his rape case. I need to speak to you about the matter could you meet me in my office about 11:00am please?" "I'll be there Mr. Farmer. What is your address?" Rick wrote the address down and got out of bed. He made some breakfast and thought about his situation. "If I am going to remain Cindy for awhile, I'll need to think of myself as her. I am now a woman and my name is Cindy Ann Mason. My husband is Rick Mason and he is in jail for rape." The enormity of the situation settled on her shoulders and bowed her down. She was a woman now and would be for some time. She had to act like one and even work at Cindy's... no her own, job. That might not be as hard as it could be. Maybe it was time for Cindy to find a new job, one that paid better. Over half of the income had disappeared and bills had to be paid. First things first, though. Cindy dressed in a long skirt and short sleeved top and flat shoes for her appointment with her husband's attorney. "Mr. Farmer," Cindy began, "I'll be up front with you. I know I can't testify but I can tell you that my husband is guilty. The DNA tests will prove it. He admitted to me last night that he had raped that woman. He has been under some stress lately and maybe that was why." Joe Farmer didn't blink when he heard what the pretty blonde told him he knew it already. The tests wouldn't be in for weeks but everything else the police had pointed to his client. "I know he did it too Mrs. Mason, I am going to try to get him off with 25 years. I may be able to make a deal, if he confesses. Otherwise he is looking at life, without parole. Thank God he didn't seriously injure the woman." "Have you ever had a man shove himself into you, against your will, Mr. Farmer? I haven't, but it would be a serious injury to me if it did happen. Do what you must, I hope the bastard rots in jail for the rest of his life." Cindy was not faking the tears that ran down her face. Her life as Rick Mason was over. The ten years at his job that he loved. The advanced college education that Cindy didn't have, all gone. Thank God Rick's parent's weren't alive to see their son a convicted rapist. Cindy got up and left the lawyers office and did not return. She went home and called in to her job. They knew about the problem and told her to take off the rest of the week. Cindy began working on her resume. Cindy mason did not have a masters degree like Rick did but she did have a Bachelor of Science in business. Cindy prepared a resume on the home computer and using the Internet, she sent the resume to dozens of businesses. She sent it to a few headhunter firms as well. The next day, Cindy got an e-mail from a executive search firm interested in helping her find a job. They had an opening in Florida that she was perfect for and the fee was paid by the company. Cindy made an appointment to meet with their recruiting specialist the next day. Cindy dressed in her best business suit and carefully made up her face for the appointment. She was received as soon as she arrived. "Cindy, come in and sit down. I am Nancy Dodd, I'll be working with you." Nancy was about Cindy's age. She was taller and had dark hair cut short. "I need to tell you about a shadow I have in my personal life. It could kill any job offer." Cindy explained. "I know about your husband Cindy, that's a problem but we can help. How do you feel about using your maiden name?" Nancy asked. "Call my self Cindy Kilmer again? Why not. I intend to divorce him anyway, okay I'll do that." Nancy smiled. She knew she could place Cindy and help them both. Get Cindy started over and Nancy would collect nice fee. Nancy sent Cindy for a make over. They cut her long hair to just collar length, put some soft curls in it and updated her makeup. She bought two new suits and the next morning she was on a plane to Florida for a two day interview. "Nancy, this is Cindy, I just got offered $10,000.00 more than we thought they would go. I took the offer. I start in two weeks. They are going to move me and if my house doesn't sell in two month's they will buy it." Cindy was almost shouting. She had just landed a job paying more than Rick used to earn. "Great Cindy, we'll help with the move as well, congratulations! Oh, by the way, your husband pled guilty and got 25 years without parole. I wanted you to hear it from a friend." Cindy stopped smiling and calmed down. She felt the sting of a lost life. She wished she could be Rick again, but that had been stolen from her. At least she wasn't in prison. "Thanks Nancy, you are a friend. I guess I ought to go see him before I leave. I'll be back in town tomorrow." Cindy hung up and lay back on the hotel bed. She cried over the change she had gone through for the first time. It was also the last. Cindy parked in front of the county jail building. She was wearing the first dress she had worn that morning just a couple of weeks ago. She checked herself in the rear view mirror. Still surprised at the new look she had. She entered the jail and asked to see Rick Mason. "Hi Rick, how are you?" Cindy was in a small room talking over a telephone to Rick who was behind a thick glass panel. Rick had a black eye and a cut lip. He looked like he hadn't slept in days. "You cut my hair, you look like a tramp now." Rick spat at her. "What are you doing now, have you gotten fired yet, since you don't know anything about my job?" "Rick, I have a new job, in Florida." Cindy told him, "I am selling the house and moving there. I have received your pension fund from your former employer and deposited some of it in the commissary account for you. I am keeping the rest. I'll write occasionally. I am divorcing you and going back to my maiden name. I can tell you are not having an easy time of it Rick. I would say I'm sorry but this is what you wished for me. Goodbye Rick, don't look me up if you ever get out." Cindy got up to leave. "Wait, answer me something," Rick begged, "what went wrong, how did you find out?" Cindy sat back down. She explained how Jake grabbed her in the parking lot and she even told Rick about the trip to the lake. "What happened to Jake? I had my lawyer look for him, he just disappeared." Rick asked. "Jake is now a 5 year old girl, living in a foster home, with a good family." Cindy explained. Cindy walked out, she never saw Rick again. Three years later. Cindy Kilmer came home from work with a serious conflict. She had spent the last eighteen months constructing a new and solid identity for a male. She had managed to create a man's life in a manner that would stand up to the most intense scrutiny. She was already to make the change into that of the new man, when she was called into the corporate headquarters of her employer. "Nancy? This is Cindy Kilmer, how are you doing?" Cindy asked her good friend. "I got offered a new job today, Vice President for marketing." "That's wonderful Cindy," Nancy said, "You're going to take it aren't you?" Cindy had not decided yet. Her new male identity had a job with another company in Georgia making $65,000.00 a year. She had just been offered $150,000.00. Plus perks, a company car, and lots more. All she had to do was stay a woman. She had denied herself any emotional or romantic involvement's for the last three years with her eye on the goal of returning to being a male. Now she had the toughest decision of her life to make. She loved the job she had now. It was challenging and rewarding on more than just a monetary level. She also missed being a man. That memory was fading though and she was finding herself noticing men more and more. If she stayed a woman much longer she would have to satisfy her physical desires. She needed some companionship. She wanted to be a man and have a wife, or vice versa. "Nancy, I don't know, someone else made me an offer that is awfully enticing. I just can't seem to decide." "Cindy, follow your heart. What do you want to do more? What feels right to you, inside?" Nancy advised. "Money means nothing, it's what makes you happy that matters most of all." Cindy considered what her friend had just said. "Thank you, Nancy, that helped a lot." Cindy hung up the phone. Cindy told the company President she would not be accepting the Vice President's position on the day after she spoke with Nancy. Jim Stringman hit the roof. "Cindy, how can you turn this down?" he wasn't shouting but he was upset, "This is the best job you've ever had, you told me that yourself. I just offered you more than double your salary. Why can't you take the offer? Who is trying to hire you away from me? You owe me at least the courtesy of an answer." "Jim, it's personal, there's a man." Cindy said, "I can't really explain it. I appreciate everything you have done for me, I really do. I will miss working here and I will miss you. You and Joan have been real friends. I'm sorry." Cindy realized she was near tears. Everything she had just said was true. She would miss Jim and his wife, Joan. She didn't like misleading him but how could she explain. "Cindy, I won't allow it. You can't leave me like this. I think you owe me some consideration in exchange for the last three years of our friendship and the opportunities I have given you. You gave me three weeks notice. Fine, I'll accept it under this condition. You take the next two weeks off. You go anywhere you want to and I'll buy the tickets. You spend the time laying in the sun, shopping, hiking, I don't care. Just get away and think about the choice your making. Then, when you come back, if you can tell me leaving is the right thing to do, I'll accept your resignation and pay you a severance package. I want you to think about what you are doing and the people you work with. We are your family Cindy, don't leave us without thinking about it." Cindy blinked, she had no idea Jim was that serious about her staying. She had heard him say that no one employee was more important than the company. She assumed he would be a little upset and then he would wish her well. "Jim, I'll take the two weeks off and spend some time in Belize. I've always wanted to go there. I won't make any promises but I will think about it. I'll buy my own tickets though, and I have that much vacation saved up." "Sure you do, Cindy, do you know you've never taken a day off? I think that's part of the problem." Jim told her, "You've burned out, you need to decompress. Two weeks with nothing to do and you'll have a different perspective. We love you here Cindy, you're family now and we want you to stay." "Okay Jim, but no promises." Cindy shook his hand and left. This was better than she had hoped for, two weeks to get used to being a man again. She would fly to Mexico as her new male self, Randy Martin, and spend the time getting a tan and having some recreational sex with some pretty girls. She would have to spend the week following her trip as Cindy again but that wasn't a problem. She didn't dislike Cindy, she just wanted to be a man again. She knew she would have to become Cindy again, in the future as well, in order to close the deal on her house if it didn't sell before Randy settled in Atlanta. Cindy went home and got the medallion out. She stripped naked and took a minute to examine herself in the mirror. Cindy's body had changed in the last three years, leaner, harder and trimmer. Cindy had turned to exercise as a substitute for sex. She masturbated occasionally but she found it less than fulfilling. She had a membership in a very good gym and she worked out there at least three times a week, sometimes five. She smiled in approval at her refection. She hoped she could find a woman as attractive as herself for a friend and lover. Cindy placed the medallion around her neck and touched a shirt to it. The personality of Randy Martin had been constructed on paper and fleshed out with the use of the medallion and new clothes. Once she had the body looking the way she wanted, Cindy only had to use an item of clothing he had worn to change back into Randy. After thirty minutes, Randy stood there looking at his own refection. Randy was tall at 6' 3; he had short blonde hair and the same blue eyes Cindy possessed. He was thinner than he would have liked but beefing up and putting on some muscles was something Randy looked forward to. As Cindy, she became addicted to exercise and he wanted to earn the body he would fashion for himself with free weights and hard work. Randy dressed in jeans and a polo shirt. He headed downtown to a travel agency and booked a two-week stay in a very exclusive resort in Belize. The resort had private bungalows with individual swimming pools and fully enclosed courtyards, the ultimate in outside privacy. Then he hit a snag. They needed a passport for the trip. Randy didn't have one. Randy explained he was booking the trip for his sister Cindy as a gift. He would have her come in with her passport and they would issue her the tickets. It was inconvenient but not unworkable. Randy would just have to wait until Cindy was checked in before he could come out and play. The resort wouldn't care who slept where as long as the bill was paid. It was very exclusive and many movie stars and other famous personalities stayed there, using others to book their reservations. Cindy decided that she would pick up a swim suit and maybe spend one day on the beach after Randy got his tan before returning to the U.S. She went to the mall and proceeded to spend too much money. That was Cindy's one vice. Clothing. She had the money to spare and she loved new outfits. It troubled her at first since it was a very female type thing but it helped her feel better about herself and adjust to her new gender, so she didn't try to fight it. By the time she was done shopping. Cindy had decided she would spend the first few days as Cindy so she would have a chance to wear the clothes she bought and then the rest of the time as Randy. She wondered about the skimpy bikini she had tried on and then purchased, whether she would have the courage to wear it on the beach. Finally Cindy was on the plane to Belize and away. She was casually dressed in a sundress and sandals. She found herself missing her job already. She shook it off. This was a vacation. They would get along fine without her and she had new challenges ahead. Cindy checked in and was shown to her secluded bungalow. It was just as advertised. She overtipped the bellboy and unpacked her clothes. Most of the clothing was for Randy. Cindy brought clothes for herself for 4 days plus an outfit to travel back to the U.S. in. Once she was unpacked she changed into a shorts outfit and went for a walk around the resort. She stopped at one of the bars located on the property and had an iced tea. It was very hot outside but she didn't mind. She had brief conversations with some single men sizing her up and she effectively repelled them without being rude by flashing the wedding ring she had bought for the trip. It was costume jewelry but it looked real enough to assure her some peace and quiet. In the afternoon Cindy gathered her courage and put on the bikini and headed for the beach. She never made it. She chickened out when she looked in the mirror. She looked too good to go out. No ring in the world would keep any man away. She wasn't being vain, she was looking at herself with the eyes of a man. She was too inviting in the little swimsuit. Cindy spent the afternoon in her private pool and sunning. She read a book and relaxed. She found herself wishing for something more to do. She went to bed early and slept soundly, having or remembering no dreams. The next day, she decided to look for something to do. She found a diving school and signed up. She bought a swimsuit better suited to diving. She spent the next three days learning how to scuba dive and exploring the reef off the coast. She regretted the lack of insight at not having prepared for the trip better. She finished up her fourth day as Cindy and ate dinner in the resort's five star restaurant. She wore a skimpy little black dress that caused heads to turn when she walked in. She knew she was being a tease but she wanted her last night as Cindy, in Belize, to be memorable. She enjoyed a fantastic meal and sat listening to a pretty fair reggae band for an hour. She returned to her bungalow, escorted by a bellman for security. The resort wanted no unfortunate incidents. The next day, Randy appeared on the beach in a pair of Speedo's. He spent some time just sunning and looking at the numerous attractive women, involuntarily comparing them with Cindy. Cindy usually won the comparison. He spotted a young woman with dark hair and eyes and a sweet smile. She was alone and had no rings on her fingers. Randy approached her and offered to buy her a drink. "Have we met?" she asked him, squinting as she looked up at him. He was standing next to her towel where she was laid out on the beach. "No, but you looked thirsty and I thought I could help." Randy smiled and she returned it with a grin. "Yes, I'd love a drink, just ice tea though. My name is Shelly." she said as she stuck out her hand. "Randy Martin" he told her. He shook her hand and then signaled for a waiter. Randy ordered two ice teas and then he spread his towel out next to hers. They drank their tea and talked. Randy asked her to dinner and she readily accepted. Later that night, after dinner, Randy escorted Shelly back to her own bungalow. She seemed indecisive and he didn't want to rush her. He was about to say goodnight when she invited him in. "Randy," she said once they were inside and sitting on the couch. "I never invite men in on the first date, never. You are different than other men I've met, you are more sensitive, more caring, so much more interesting to talk to. You actually look me in the eyes when we were talking. You never spoke to my breasts." Shelly blushed a little when she said 'breasts' but she went on. "Don't take this the wrong way, it's a compliment, but it was like talking to another woman. I really enjoyed it because of that. Randy, will you kiss me?" Randy smiled and kissed her. They slowly undressed each other while kissing. Randy was using his knowledge of female anatomy to his advantage. Shelly was enjoying it very much apparently by the sounds she was making. Randy brought Shelly to the brink of orgasm with his lips and tongue and then moved to enter her. He was shocked to discover he was not erect! He was with a beautiful, desirable woman who wanted him and his body was not responding. Shelly was beseeching him to enter her but he was limp. He bent down and took Shelly over the top with his tongue and she shuddered to a screaming climax just a minute later. "Randy, that was great," Shelly said, "but I really wanted to feel you inside me. Why didn't you?" "I'm sorry Shelly. It's never happened before, I wanted to, in the worse way, but I couldn't." Randy said. He was confused and embarrassed. "Hey, that's okay. I understand, we can try again. I'd like that as a matter of fact." Shelly was smiling and she began kissing him as she caressed him with her cool, smooth fingers. She was not getting the desired reaction so she tried a little harder and then bent over and kissed him in a very special place. Nothing happened. "You know honey, sometimes, it's best to get a good night's sleep and see what the morning brings. Why don't you spend the night and we can wake each other up." Shelly said. Randy nodded, somewhat distressed but not worried, yet. He had been female for so long, it would take some time, maybe. They lay down together and cuddled all night. Randy had missed having someone in bed with him for the last three years. He slept a dreamless sleep. In the morning, Randy awoke to the sensation of someone attempting to wake up another part of his anatomy. She was not having any results. "Randy, every man I've slept with has woke up with an erection. You didn't. Is there something you should have told me?" Shelly asked him. "What do you mean?" he said. "Randy, you talk like a woman, you gave me better oral sex than any man I have ever been with and you cannot be aroused. Did you used to be a woman?" Shelly asked. Randy paled at the question and Shelly saw his reaction. "You could have told me you know, I would have understood. I have to admit that you don't look like a transsexual, I never knew they could construct such realistic looking uh... equipment." "No, Shelly, you have it wrong. I'm not a woman, I was born a man, honest. I don't know why I can't respond right now." Randy pleaded. "Look, Randy, I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me, but if you won't be honest with me, I think you should leave. If you want to trust me and talk to me about the operation and the things you went through, I'm willing to be your friend. If you want to lie about it though, then, goodbye." Randy tried to make her believe him but the truth was so close to what Shelly believed that he wasn't convincing. Randy decided to stay in his private courtyard and pool for a few days and read and relax. He figured the male hormones would kick in and then he would offer Shelly proof of his true gender. For four days, Randy lay around his pool and waited. Each morning he woke up and expected an erection, each morning he was disappointed. Finally, he decided he was going to spend the day on the beach at the resort weight lifting area. He pulled on shorts and a T-shirt and went to the beach. Shelly was there with another man. Randy waved but she turned away. Randy found a free bench and put 125 pounds on the bar. Cindy was lifting 100 pounds and he wanted to move up slowly, at first. Another man offered to spot him and they talked while Randy did his reps. The other guy was named David and he was from California. He had come down for the scuba diving but his ears got infected and he was beached for three days. "Had any luck with the ladies yet?" Randy asked. "No," David said, "there was a very special looking woman earlier this week but she left before I got a chance to meet her. How about you?" "Nothing worth speaking of, I need to relax and give it time, I think." Randy said. Randy moved up to 150 pounds and then rested for thirty minutes while David did some reps at 225. "I normally lift more," Randy told David," but I've been away for awhile and I need to ease back into them. "You're right to take it easy. Don't strain yourself. Did you lose a lot of weight? You look like you're a little underweight." David asked. "Yes, I went through some changes here lately. But I'm getting myself back into shape." Randy explained. "You wouldn't believe what my ex- wife did to me." He said with a chuckle. The two men talked and worked out for a while longer. They met for dinner and talked about their jobs and homes and where they wanted to be in five years. After dinner they separated and Randy went back to his bungalow. He had enjoyed the day he had spent with David and looked forward to working out again tomorrow. He still wasn't able to get an erection though. Randy pulled out Cindy's laptop and logged on to the Internet. He looked up impotency and did some research. He found a suggested way to determine if the impotency was psychosomatic. The article gave directions on wrapping a few postage stamps around the shaft, with just a quarter inch of one stamp stuck to the other end of the strip. If the member became erect during the night, the stamps would break off and the problem would not be physical. Randy got some stamps out and wrapped them as the article showed. He then went to sleep. He had some dreams that night but they were almost completely forgotten when he woke up. He went to the bathroom to empty his bladder and found the stamps still in place. He removed the stamps and set them aside to use that evening. Randy spent the next two days working out with David and doing some sightseeing. David wanted Randy to join him for diving when David's ears were clear. Randy was non-committal. On the second night of his experiment, Randy again found the strip of stamps still intact. That night he had more dreams and these were disturbing enough that he didn't sleep very well. Try as he could, Randy couldn't remember the dreams. On the third morning of his experiment, Randy awoke to find the stamps missing. He was excited about the result until he found the intact stamp ring in his bed where it had fallen off. This morning, Randy remembered his dreams. They were all about David and Cindy. They were all dreams of Cindy and David making love. Randy was frantic. His new male body wasn't working right. He had no way of finding out why, no one knew anything about the medallion. He had researched it on the Internet but there was nothing he could find about it. He knew when he was changed into a woman, he had liked having sex as a woman, even sex with a man. Jake had become him and had no problem performing. What was different? He had changed from a woman into a new man, not a man that existed. Maybe he would have better luck if he changed into a man who did exist? The problem with that was he already had spent very good money for an airtight identity for Randy. It had taken over a year to build and solidify. If he had to use a new body, he would have to start from scratch. He would lose the job in Atlanta. He couldn't stay a man without an operating sex organ though. Randy stayed in his cottage all day thinking hard about what he would do. His heart's message was not so clear anymore. Finally, he decided. He logged on to the Internet with Cindy's laptop. Using two different accounts, he sent two messages, one to Atlanta and one to Florida. The next day, David boarded the dive boat along with several other divers. He noticed someone he had not seen for awhile "Hi, I'm glad to see you back, I was wondering where you went?" "Oh, I had something to work out, but I'm back for good now. By the way, my name is Cindy." By the time the boat had reached the dive site, Cindy had agreed to dinner and dancing that evening. Cindy and David spent the next several days together. They went diving in the daylight and dining and dancing in the evening. At night, they made love. Cindy finally accepted the true reason she was unable to perform as Randy. She had become a woman, a real woman. Once that was clear to her, the rest was easy. David's vacation ended the day before Cindy's. He offered to stay if she would come to California with him. She declined and asked him to come to Florida with her. He explained that he owned a business and couldn't pack up and leave. There were too many people depending on him. She explained she had a job she loved and she had made a promise and couldn't break it. They promised to write and call. They kissed goodbye at the airport when David flew out. Cindy wept but she knew all the choices she made were the right one's, her heart told her so, loud and clear. On the flight back, Cindy chided herself for all the money she had spent on clothes that last day. She had been lonely without David and she had compensated in the only way she knew. She shopped. Back home, as the new VP for marketing, Cindy made a name for herself. She buried herself in work and spent long days concentrating on the new job. Cindy and David spoke a couple of times a week, then every other day. By the end of the month, it was at least once a day and often two or three times daily. Then, suddenly, David was unreachable. Cindy called his home, his cell phone and his office. She got answering machines, voice mail and secretaries. She left all kinds of messages but never heard back. She sent e-mails that were not answered either. Finally, near the end of the week, Cindy caught David in his office. "David," Cindy said, "I've been trying to reach you for days, is something wrong?" "Cindy, I'm sorry, I can't talk right now. I have a group trying to buy my company away from me and I have been working around the clock. Give me a few days and I'll get back to you." With that, David hung up. Cindy was beside herself. She was sure David had found out about Rick. She had not told him because it never came up. Now it looked like she was hiding something from David. Cindy tried to work but she couldn't concentrate. She had to take the picture she had of David off of her desk because it was to
