WELL-STUFFED MELONS
By
Charlotte Dickles
This is another longer length story so put some time aside, sit back in
your seats, and enjoy.
CHAPTER ONE - LOUISE GETS WELL STUFFED
Afterwards, we were to have a big row about exactly who had first
suggested 'Well-Stuffed Melons' for the next production of the Bramcombe
Amateur Theatrical Society, or BRATS, as we called ourselves. I got the
blame, but my recollection of events was perfectly clear.
We had just finished our post mortem on 'A Merchant of Venice', which
had completed its run of three performances the evening before. We'd had
fantastic reviews in the local press, superb acting from everyone, and
each night, we had played to an almost empty house!
"I think," said Louise, who had not only taken the part of Portia, but
had also directed, "that for our next production, which is only sixteen
weeks away, we should choose something a little lighter."
All six of us gave a collective sigh of relief over that, only too aware
that we had given in to Louise's persuasive arguments over 'The
Merchant' against our better judgements.
Louise reached into her huge leather handbag and pulled out some heavy
scripts. "I therefore suggest we have a read of 'A Comedy of Errors'.
That should go down nicely."
For the first time ever, Louise had a revolt on her hands.
"Oh no!" "No way!" and "You must be joking!"
Louise look pained. In her late twenties, with a figure like a
centrefold model, she had trained to be a professional actor, and there
was no doubt that, professionally, she was brilliant. Had the Royal
Shakespeare Company immediately snapped her up after she'd completed
training at RADA, she would probably have become an international star
by now. But the indignity of having to audition for minor parts in
mediocre plays going on tour in the industrial Midlands, followed by the
absolute shock when she received their rejections, was too much. She had
given up acting to become an estate agent (and a very good one to, by
all accounts).
"Well what are you suggesting?" She sounded exasperated at our reaction.
"'A Midsummer Night's Dream'?"
Helen, a company accountant in her late thirties (slim, with nice,
conical-pointed tits), said, "I don't think people in Bramcombe
appreciate Shakespeare. Why don't we do an Alan Ayckbourn?"
"Oh really!" from Louise, but everyone else said things like:
"That's a great idea" "Superb" and "Fantastic!"
So Louise was forced to sit back while we all came in with suggestions.
The trouble was, without Louise's leadership, no one could agree, and
our little brainstorm was starting to fizzle out, when Jane, a tall,
thin woman in her late forties, said, "What was the name of that play
when those three couples have a weekend in a small hotel with the rather
shapely chamber-maid." She turned to me. "Charles, you probably know
it."
Indeed I did! The 1971 play in which Reginald, the lead male actor had
totally fallen for Melanie, the waitress cum chambermaid. She wore a
low-necked uniform that nicely displayed her rounded tits, which
appeared to grow ever larger in each scene. His two mates, Steve and
Phil, egged him on with his infatuation and even Rebecca, his wife, took
an extremely broadminded view over it since, it quickly transpired, she
was having a threesome relationship with Steve and Phil! Meanwhile, Sue
and Phyllis, the wives of his two mates were also perfectly happy, as it
allowed them to get on with their secret lesbian bonding.
The main set on stage was of the three bedrooms, with imaginary walls
between them. There were three doors spaced along the backdrop, three
beds facing the audience, and three wardrobes delineating the position
of the imaginary walls. Add imaginary French-windows leading to
balconies at the very front of the stage, and the opportunities are
endless for leaping in and out of bed, jumping from one balcony to
another (sometimes with disastrous results!), running between rooms, and
hiding under beds and in wardrobes - in other words, the very best of
British farce.
The play took its name from the words Melanie used in the dining room
(the only other set used) as she leant over their table to point on the
menu to the house specials, displaying to Reggie a superb view of the
other specials of the house.
"'Well-Stuffed Melons'," I said.
"That must be it," Jane said.
"Oh really!" Louise was furious. "How low can we possible get? There is
no way we're going to put on that rubbish."
Another first for the group - timid Jane hit back. "I think we've always
agreed that our choice of production is a democratic decision, and I'm
proposing 'Well-Stuffed Melons'. Shall we put it to the vote?"
A vote would suit me just fine. I could already see the glint in the
eyes of Alan and Geoff, the other two males present. With Jane and
myself also in favour, that would make at least four votes for,
regardless of the votes of the other three women.
"Obviously it's a democratic decision, but I really think we should aim
higher than that. And please don't assume that, if we do decide to go
ahead, I shall consent to direct it, and absolutely no way will I play
the part of Melanie."
Even though Louise had the perfect shape to play Melanie, her threat
didn't worry me in the slightest. I think I understood the reason why
she'd made it, but I also knew her well enough to know that, ultimately,
she wouldn't be able to resist the challenge.
You see, when 'Melons' was first written and performed in 1971, it was a
time when both male and female actors would use any excuse to parade
naked on the stage. In this case, no excuse was necessary - the three
couples spent most of their time undressed and only Melanie kept on her
clothes until the last scene.
However, as acceptable levels of decency changed (for the worse in my
opinion), so successive productions covered more and more bare flesh.
First the male members were hidden behind jock straps; then the women
started wearing knickers; finally, the women wore nightdresses of
increasingly non-transparent material.
Bill Baker, the playwright became more and more frustrated at what he
saw as the watering down of his work, and eventually he put his foot
down: the piece de resistance with Melanie in the final scene must be
acted as initially written, with Melanie absolutely naked. If it was
not, he would sue for breach of copyright, and even serve an injunction
to stop further public performances by that company.
Consequently, the final scene is, to this day, regarded as a pure
example of 1970's classic farce. Melanie enters Reggie's bedroom and
confesses that her hourglass figure is due to a corset, which she had
been progressively tightening throughout the play. Now, it was as tight
as she could pull it, and she needed the assistance of a strong man
(Reggie) to heave it tighter still. Within seconds, her dress is off and
she's facing the audience with Reggie kneeling behind her, tightening
the corset for all his worth.
But the corset is specially adapted for the performance. With a tearing
sound, the front busk suddenly rips apart and the corset wraps itself
around Reggie's head, as he collapses backward onto the bed, on top of
Melanie's dress. Melanie is left wearing shoes, stockings, suspender-
belt, and nothing else. Just then, the bedroom door opens and Reggie's
wife is seen kissing Phil in the corridor outside, and about to enter
the room. In order to escape, Melanie strides onto the imaginary
balcony, pulling down an imaginary curtain as she does so, and ties it
around her as she leaps across to the next balcony.
And from then until the end of the play, she performs dressed only in
the imaginary curtain. It's actually an incredible feat of acting, since
the actor knows that the audience see her totally naked (except for the
shoes, stockings and suspender-belt), but she has to perform as though
properly dressed. Fully aware that every pubic hair, and every wobble of
her boobs is on full view, she will be smoothing out crinkles in the
imaginary dress, pulling it down at the hem as she sits down or, on a
few occasions, having to suddenly grab it as it becomes untied and
starts to expose her. The public absolutely love it, both for the
challenge to the actor, as well as the sheer, unadulterated voyeurism of
the moment. Louise, I knew, would not be able to resist.
Helen, following on with Louise's stance, broke my thoughts. "I quite
agree," she said. "It's so politically incorrect, we'd be pilloried by
the press..."
"...and the public would come to see us by the thousands," I finished
Helen's sentence for her. "'Melons' has been playing to packed audiences
ever since it launched over thirty years ago. After 'The Merchant' we
need a highly successful run, and this is a dead cert. I vote we go with
it."
"I agree with Charles and Jane," Alan said. "Let's get a successful
performance behind us, before we try anything more intellectual. And if
Louise doesn't want to direct, I'd be happy to take it on instead."
Alan's comments brought the count up to three in favour. It only needed
Geoff to speak up and the vote would be won. Alan and I both looked at
him, expectantly.
He hesitated before he spoke. "I agree with Louise," he said. "I think
we can do better than this."
The dirty, rotten traitor! How could he desert a noble cause like that?
Why...
"Well I don't."
I think we'd all forgotten about Carol, Geoff's wife, sitting in the
corner, and we all turned to gaze at her.
"'Melons' is a sure-fire winner. We'd be stupid not to go with it."
"And let's not forget," she continued, "that we've always agreed we'll
share the leading parts, and Louise has played lead in the last two
performances. It's my turn for the lead in the next one."
Her words left us speechless, Geoff most of all. I realised then that
he'd predicted Carol's response, and tried to head it off. Now he sat
there fuming, and turning a peculiar shade of purple. But as I looked
Carol up and down, I recognized it was a perfectly reasonable solution.
Carol was in her mid-forties, and looking pretty good, in a chubby kind
of way. Although her waist was certainly not as slim as Louise's, her
breasts must be considerably larger. Well, no one ever said that
chambermaids aren't allowed to be cuddly.
She returned my gaze with a defiant smile, and I smiled back and said,
"Carol's right. It is her turn to play lead, and if she's happy, I think
she has the right qualities for the part, in all respects."
There was a sound of a volcano bursting from Geoff's side of the table,
but I didn't care. Carol deserved the praise. Not only had we won the
vote, but had nicely put Louise's nose out of joint as well. A highly
successful result.
CHAPTER TWO - WE'RE ALL STUFFED!
Eight weeks later, it appeared a hollow victory. Alan had none of the
qualities needed to make a competent Director, and we were getting
nowhere. We'd spent weeks deciding which role we would each take - not
because it was contentious, but simply because Alan never got us
together. We'd already spent half our time available before the
production, and we'd only had a single reading - although I hadn't
complained too much so far, since I'd pulled the male lead role of
Reggie. Now, Alan opened the meeting, that Saturday evening, saying he
had some bad news. Could it get worse? Yes, it damn well could.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you that Carol contacted me this afternoon.
She's decided, I think after considerable pressure from Geoff, that
she's not right for the part of Melanie. She realises this has put us in
a hopeless position, and so both she and Geoff have decided to resign
from BRATS."
Bloody hell!
There was a cacophony of similar comments, followed by an outbreak of
sheer panic, which Alan tried to calm by telling us he had decided to
abandon the whole production.
"I'm afraid you can't do that." It was Jane speaking. "After the
criticism I got last time about lack of publicity, I've already put the
dates in the quarterly Arts Council Information Bulletin. They're
printing fifty thousand copies as we speak. We can't cancel."
"It doesn't matter," Alan persisted. "If people try to book, they'll be
turned away."
"It's really not that simple," Helen broke in to the argument. "I was
going to tell you at the end of our meeting, but, as Treasurer, I
applied for a Bramcombe Arts Society grant. You know they don't normally
give money to amateur theatrical companies, but I heard they had some
lottery money spare and I convinced them of the artistic merit in
'Melons', and they bought it."
"I received their cheque for five thousand pounds last week," she
continued, "and I used it to pay off the debts remaining after 'The
Merchant', and as a non-returnable booking fee for the theatre for
'Melons'. There's less than two hundred pounds left. If we cancel
'Melons', we'll have to find the money to repay it to BAS."
I turned to Louise like a dog begging for a biscuit. "Louise, wouldn't
you reconsider playing the part of Melanie? You can see what a mess
we're in. Please."
That evening she was wearing a pastel-blue, straight skirt with matching
blouse and jacket. She looked absolutely ravishing - but as hard as
nails!
"Absolutely not. What about Jane? She voted for it." She turned towards
her. "Why don't you take the part of Melanie?"
"That's ridiculous! I haven't got the figure."
"So what," Helen said. "After all, Carol was hardly a beauty."
That was a bit unfair on Carol, but I didn't think it worth arguing
over.
"Anyway," Jane said, "the play was Charles's suggestion. Why doesn't he
play the part?"
"My suggestion!" I was outraged. "You suggested it."
And we then spent several minutes arguing about who said what, in which
Jane took the position that she'd originally been thinking of 'Fawlty
Towers', and it was me who was responsible for everything!
"Can I make a proposal?" Louise had kept out of that argument, and she
interjected at just the right point to bring us all to silence.
"It seems we're all getting worked up about who's going to play the part
of Melanie, when there's a much more important problem to resolve."
That shook us! A more important problem than a missing lead character!
We all stared at her.
She waited a moment before answering our unspoken question. "Carol and
Geoff, of course. They are both excellent actors, and put so much into
our group, and don't forget also takes the role of Stage Manager. Now
they've resigned from BATS. Without them, we'll fall apart. I think the
Director has to convince them not to resign."
It made a lot of sense to me, except that Alan was shaking his head.
"It's no good," he said. "I spent ages talking to Carol; Geoff won't
even speak to me. I can't do anything to stop it."
"Then we need to appoint a Director who can." I surprised myself by
saying the words, but I'd been looking at Louise, and knew she was going
suggest it. Better that I said it first.
Everyone turned to stare at me, and I kept my eyes lowered during the
embarrassing silence. Finally Alan said, "Well, if you or anyone else
thinks they can get Carol and Geoff back, then I'll willingly step
down."
I looked up at Louise. "How about it, Louise?" Everyone's eyes turned
from me, to her.
She paused just the right amount of time, as though she hadn't been
thinking that all along. "If there's a general consensus then, yes, I'll
do it." She paused, whilst we all nodded our heads or muttered "Aye,"
and then continued. "There is one proviso. Obviously, we'll need to
allow Carol to change role, but we have to get Geoff on board, as well.
We may need to make some other changes. Is that agreed?"
"Are you thinking of offering him Reggie?" I'd been delighted to pull
the lead male role, and now I could see it disappearing.
Louise grimaced apologetically. "Let's just say that if you're willing
to be flexible about your role, it will give me much more scope to
negotiate, and get this show on the road. But if you're not, my hands
are tied. It's your shout, Charles."
I could hardly refuse. I gave in with good grace.
"But we still haven't resolved who's playing the part of Melanie," Jane
said.
"Look," Louise said, "I shall probably offer to let Carol play Sue in
place of me, and Charles has said he'll be flexible about his part.
Let's get Carol and Geoff's agreement to rejoin the group, first. After
that, everything else will probably work out."
Yuppee, we all thought. Louise is going to play Melanie. And we broke up
the meeting with a lighter heart.
CHAPTER THREE - LOUISE STUFFS ME
"Geoff says you always keep a bottle of excellent wine in your fridge. I
hope he's right."
It was ten pm, that same Saturday evening, when the doorbell rang. I'd
just been thinking about having an early night to bed. It was Louise at
the door of my flat, still wearing the pastel-blue suit we'd seen her in
earlier.
"Come in," I said, and led the way into my lounge. Louise flopped onto
my settee, put her feet up on a beanbag and sank back. She stared up at
the ceiling, and gave a big sigh. It was the first time she'd been
inside my flat, and she looked more at home than I felt, standing in my
own lounge!
Deciding she was overdressed, she removed her jacket without getting up
from her seat, which involved a considerable amount of wriggling and
twisting of her torso. Without the concealment of her jacket, her
breasts thrust through her pale blue blouse like large grapefruit, with
her modestly cut neckline exposing just a hint of the Grand Canyon
beyond. The wriggling had also caused her knee-length skirt to ride up,
and I could see a part of a white suspender securing the top of her
navy-blue stockings.
I hurriedly (well, not too hurriedly) averted my eyes, went to the
kitchen, and took a bottle of Pouilly-Fume out of the fridge. Whilst I
was uncorking it, I called out to her, "Knowing Geoff, he probably said
the wine was expensive, rather than excellent. His taste is somewhat
different to mine."
Louise was smiling as I went in with the bottle and two crystal wine
glasses. "He called it extravagant, actually, and fed me gallons of his
home-made barley wine. It was absholutely revolting, but I could hardly
tell him so, as I was trying to convince him to come back to BRATS."
Was she slurring her words slightly? It occurred to me that Geoff's
wines were renowned for their potency, and if Louise had been knocking
them back like barley water for a couple of hours, she must be well and
truly pissed.
I handed her the glass of wine and she took a huge gulp from it - far
larger than I'd normally have thought was her style - but since she
threw her head back and her breasts jutted forwards as she did so, and
the movement of her body caused her skirt to ride up even higher, openly
displaying her stocking-top, I didn't object.
She gave me a wry smile. "I did it!" She nodded with self-satisfaction.
"I've been at their house ever since the end of our meeting thish
evening, but I finally got them to agree to rejoin BRATS."
"That's absolutely great, Louise," I said. "How did you manage it?" Of
course, what I really meant was: Did you have to offer Geoff my part?
Pissed or not, she saw straight through my hidden question and smiled.
"Geoff was incredibly stubborn, at first - really jealous of Carol being
sheen naked. That was obviously why he voted against the play as soon as
I shaid I wouldn't take Melanie's part."
Definitely pissed as a newt but, pissed or not, she'd brought home the
goods. I asked the big question, "So how did you convince him?" I
refilled her glass, and took a big draft from mine, to encourage her to
do the same.
An even bigger smile, this time. "I waited until Carol was out of the
room before I told him that if he insisted on being so stuffy about
Carol, I'd have to redress the balance, by telling her that last
Christmas I'd given Geoff a tit fuck."
I gulped down the rest of my glass. "You gave Geoff a tit fuck?" I was
both shocked and jealous. The lucky bastard!
"Well, he wore a condom, so I didn't get a pearl necklace, if that's
what you're thinking."
What I was actually thinking was of my own cock thrusting between those
massive tits, which so nicely bulged through her silky blue blouse.
Perhaps I ought to refill our glasses again. I did so and forced my mind
back to the subject.
"So that presumably shut up Geoff. What about Carol?"
"Geoff had really destroyed her confidence. Told her how he could see
her waist bulging out behind her breasts - the inference being that her
breasts sagged down to her waist."
"That's pretty shitty."
She nodded. "There was no way she could continue in Melanie's role, so I
offered her mine."
I tried not to show my excitement, but took a huge gulp of wine, just to
show how cool I was. "Does that mean that you'll play..."
"Of coursh not. You know I can't play that part."
Did I? With this much booze inside her, now was the time to try to
convince her. I guessed flattery was most likely to succeed. "But why
not, Louise? You would play it superbly..."
"You mean you really don't know?" She looked mystified, as drunks often
do when the world is unable to keep up with their clarity of vision.
"But your ex-wife was at the shame college as me. Shurely she must have
told you?"
I shook my head. "Either she didn't know, or she treated it in
confidence."
I think I'd probably guessed Louise's problem. With tits that size, she
must have had an enlargement, which can sometimes leave nasty scars.
From her remarks, she'd obviously had the operation whilst at college.
I sought to put the issue sensitively. "Louise, is it that you have some
kind of blemish or... scar you don't want anyone to see?"
Her reaction flabbergasted me. She burst into laughter! She had a sip of
her drink to try to calm herself down, and then choked on it,
spluttering everywhere.
Finally, she said, "You really don't know, do you? Well, I guess you'd
better have a look."
Without further ado, she sat up and put down her glass on a side-table.
Then, without a trace of embarrassment, she unfastened the buttons on
her blouse and pulled it wide open, revealing that wonderful pair of
huge tits bulging out of her bra cups. She slid the blouse off her
shoulders, and let it drop behind her. I hurriedly finished my glass and
replenished it.
Pulling her arms out of the sleeves, she then reached behind her and
unclipped her bra. There was so little sag as she let the bra drop onto
her lap, I think the only reason she wore it was to flatten her nipples,
which now came pushing out of hiding.
I tried not to gulp. Here were the most perfect pair of breasts I had
ever seen in my life, and they were being exposed before me, not as part
of a frenzied sexual coupling, but in drunken innocence, as a
greengrocer might display his fruits. To my surprise, there were no
signs of scars, or even a blemish.
Louise was smiling at my confusion. "I expect you'd like to get your
hands on them, wouldn't you, and give them a nice squeeze?"
I nodded, too surprised at the offer to speak. Louise, some fifteen
years younger than me, had never indicated any interest in me, sexually.
Now here she was, pissed as a newt and making very pleasant suggestions.
She folded her arms in front of her breasts, as though to defend them
from my onslaught, and then hooked her fingers into a garment which I
hadn't even noticed she was wearing - some kind of skin coloured vest -
and started to pull it up, and over her head. But as she brought it
around her neck, her breasts had disappeared!
I gulped, and stared, and hurriedly finished off and then replenished my
glass of wine. Underneath the vest, she had flatter tits than me! She'd
pulled the garment completely over her head, now, and she bundled it and
tossed it over to me.
"Here you are then, have a nice squeeze."
I caught it, realising as it flew through the air that it was far
heavier than a thin vest should be. I spread it in my hands and found
myself holding two tremendous breasts - one in each hand!
"Holy shit! They're false!"
"Well done Charles. What fantashtic reasoning power you have."
I looked at her again - an attractive, slim woman, with breasts which
barely disturbed the line of her flat chest.
She laughed at my expression. "You look so shocked, and yet I thought
you knew about my falsies all along."
I drained my glass and filled it again, and then found we'd finished the
bottle. I spent a few minutes getting another from the fridge. As I
filled our glasses again and sat down, I played for a little more time,
trying to sort out my confusion.
"Sorry Louise, it's all a bloody great surprise to me. I simply never
dreamt your breasts were anything but real. Well, OK, I may have thought
you'd had an enlargement but..." My voice drained away as I again felt
those lovely tits in my hands. They were felt so soft and real, damn it!
"It was as we came to the end of our training at RADA," she started to
explain. "All the other girls on the course appeared to be getting jobs
and I didn't. I'd always had an inferiority complex about my miniscule
boobs; I reasoned that was why I wasn't getting the jobs, so I decided
to do something about them. Enlargements would have taken months to
arrange and recover from, and I heard about Bustlets from someone on my
course.
"Unfortunately, it didn't open up the opportunities I was so certain it
would. OK, I got plenty of offers for the casting couch, but I was
emphatic I needed payment in advance of the goods, so it never worked
for me.
"I took a temporary job at an estate agents, just to get some cash.
Within three days, I was allowed to escort a client to view a house; I
made my first sale next morning. The commission from that alone was
probably worth more than I'd have made in my first year on the stage.
I'm now a partner in the most profitable agents in town. Of course, as
an estate agent I still have to act a part; it's simply so much more
profitable. And I fulfil my dramatic acting needs by being a member of
BRATS.
"The problem is that most of my fellow students at drama school knew all
about my Bustlets. If I'd have taken the lead role in 'Melons', someone
would have shouted, 'Foul - she's not showing her real tits!' BRATS
would have had an injunction slapped on it, but even worse for me, the
newspapers would have been certain to get hold of the story. My career
in the estate agents would have been finished. I couldn't risk either of
those two events."
I nodded, understanding now why Louise had been so against putting on
the production, especially as she knew she'd be under tremendous
pressure to play the part of Melanie. However, to be honest, I was still
having difficulties coming to terms with Louise's tits in my hands. I
gave them another experimental squeeze. They were very erotic.
It struck me that normally a major part of that erotic feeling was due
to the sensitivity of a woman to being stroked and kissed there. I
remembered how sensitive my wife's tits had been - she'd almost come to
orgasm simply from my sucking on them. Louise presumably missed all
those kinds of pleasures. Without thinking, I asked, "Do you remove your
breasts before you make love?"
As soon as I said it, I realised it had been an incredibly clumsy and
offensive question - perhaps an indication that I, too, had been
drinking too much wine.
But Louise suddenly appeared preoccupied with another issue, and she
said, "Bloody hell! Sorry, but I have to go to the toilet."
I pointed her in the direction, and she quickly disappeared. I wondered
whether, she would still remember the question when she returned. I
hoped not.
She was in the toilet for ages. I thought she might be throwing up
Geoff's very worst of barley-wine, mixed with my extravagant addition of
Pouilly-Fume, but when she finally returned she looked fine. She
continued with my question without hesitation.
"You asked if I take off my Bustlets before I make love? No way. Can you
imagine what most blokes' reactions would be? They've pooled a bird with
huge jugs and then, just as they're getting her to bed, she pulls her
tits off. Worse than taking out your false teeth and sticking them in a
glass beside the bed.
"Anyway," she continued, "my original Bustlets may have lacked any
sensitivity, but every six months, or so, I buy a new set - on my
commission, I can afford them. They've improved in leaps and bounds
since the original design. I reckon the latest Bustlets are more
sensitive than my real tits."
"Sorry, Louise." I was gob-smacked. "Are you saying you have sensitivity
in your false breasts?"
She smiled. "Oh Jesus, yes. It's based upon a kind of touch-sensitive
material - like they use in screens you get on computers, and the device
amplifies it and gives a tiny jolt of electricity into the relevant area
of your own body. Because it's all digital, you can turn the sensitivity
up or down, depending how you feel. At the maximum setting, my tits are
so sensitive, I reckon I can almost have an orgasm simply by a bloke
breathing on them."
I jokingly breathed on the breasts in my hands, and she giggled. "Don't
be stupid. You need to be wearing them to feel the effects. Try them, if
you don't believe me."
She must think I was born yesterday to accept that. I made a wry face at
her and bundled them up and made to pass them back, but she said, "Sod
you, Charles. I'm not having my word doubted. Now, take off your shirt
and put them on. Then you can see how sensitive they are."
It was a purely scientific exercise, you understand? Louise was claiming
something which, to me, sounded unbelievable - I had to test it out. I
undid the buttons on my shirt and pulled it off, then fed my head into
the garment, which she called her Bustlet.
It was much more difficult to get into than I'd expected. The neck was
long, and designed to cover everything, up to right underneath the chin,
where it merged into the jaw-line without being noticeable - especially
under my beard! It was stretchy material which clung to my face as I
tried to force through it, and made me feel quite claustrophobic.
Finally, my head and face popped out of the top, and by this time,
Louise had come over and carefully smoothed down the join along my jaw-
line. Then she showed me how to slip my arms through the armholes,
without damaging the garment. Finally she was pulling the whole thing
down my chest, where it stopped, a few inches below my nipples.
I looked down. Gulp! I reached for the wine glass and emptied it before
looking down again. Shit! I refilled my glass, emptied it and then
looked down again.
"So do you look good, or do you look fucking good?" she asked.
I couldn't have expressed it better myself. Pushing out of the front of
my chest were the two most perfect tits I had ever seen in my lifetime.
They looked even better from my viewpoint than they had done attached to
Louise.
"And just try to tell me they're not sensitive."
Louise simply touched the underside of my breast with her hand, and I
was gasping. She moved her hand closer to my nipple, and I was almost
screaming with pain... or was it pleasure?
"The sensitivity setting is quite high, so if I was to squeeze your
nipple now, you would almost pass out with pleasure," she said.
"However, I think you'll find this much more pleasant."
She bent her head down, and her tiny red tongue darted out and just
flicked my nipple. The blood coursed through my head, and I think I had
a mini-orgasm.
"Bloody hell, this is erotic," she said. "I'm going to have to fuck
you."
That was alright by me. She was pulling down my trousers and pants, and
my prick came rearing out to greet her. She momentarily slipped her
mouth over it and took me right inside, but the sensation was nothing,
compared to that which I'd felt, just seconds ago, in my nipple.
She moved her mouth back there, and I started to lift her skirt, ready
to slip my iron rod inside her.
"Condom," she said, breathing lightly on my left nipple.
"Sorry," I said, partly coming to my senses. "I was getting carried
away. I've got some in the bedroom."
I took her by the hand and dragged her into the bedroom, and pulled open
the top drawer in the bedside cupboard and rummaged through it. I
couldn't find them!
I temporarily let go of Louise in order to pull the drawer totally out
of the cupboard and turn it upside down on the floor. The amount of junk
I kept in that drawer was unbelievable - all kinds of garbage, but no
condoms! It had been months since I'd last used them. I spread the junk
out across the floor, then went rushing into the bathroom, in the vain
hope I'd put them in the bathroom cabinet, instead. Nothing!
I went into the lounge, and searched in the cupboard where I keep some
of my other junk. Nothing! I stood up, almost crying with frustration.
"Don't worry," Louise said, kissing my left nipple again, driving me
insane with lust. "It's only just after 11 pm. There will be a couple of
clubs open in the town centre for hours, yet. We can walk there in ten
minutes, and either get a pack from a vending machine in the toilets, or
we could walk on to my place, where I've got enough of the things to
keep us fucking all night long."
Sweet relief. At least, that's what I should be getting shortly.
"There's only one condition," she said, transferring her mouth to my
right nipple, and simply blowing my mind.
"Anything," I said.
"You lend me a track-suit to wear when we walk into town." Her lips went
back to the left nipple, and she gave me a very slow hand-job on my
prick.
"No problem. But what's wrong with the suit you're wearing - or not
wearing? It makes you look incredibly good."
She smiled then put her mouth over my nipple again and sucked part of my
breast into her mouth. It felt divine. She muttered something, but with
her mouth full, I couldn't understand what she said.
"What? I didn't hear."
She took her mouth off my breast, and said, "Because I want you to wear
my suit when we walk into town."
I pushed her away. "Sorry?"
She grabbed my dick and pumped it a few times. "Oh Charles, you heard
perfectly well. I want you to wear my suit and blouse - and all my other
clothes - when we walk across town. It's so incredibly erotic, seeing
you like this. I think I shall burst when I see you properly dressed
up."
I couldn't disagree about it being erotic. I had never felt so turned
on. I wanted to fuck her like crazy, and what we might do in private
could well be the kind of fun and games to die for. But I knew that as
soon as I appeared in public, I'd be laughed into shame.
"Louise. It may feel great in here - playing games - just the two of us.
But as soon as I step outside like this, we'd attract every lout in the
area. They'd ridicule us. Make the journey hell."
"Only if they knew you were a man."
"Well, of course they're going to know I'm a man. They only have to look
at my hair to know I'm a man." Actually, it was more the absence of hair
which really classified me as such - only thirty-nine years old, and
already with a shamefully large bald patch.
"Well, that's no problem, then." She rummaged through her bag, and then
produced something with a flourish. "Carol gave me back the Melanie wig
she'd borrowed to help her get into character. You can use that."
That was being silly, in treating my objection so literally. There was
something more important. "Louise. Have you noticed my prick sticking
out like the Eiffel Tower? I think others might, as well."
"Carol also bought an extra-firm pantie-girdle, to help get her into
shape for Melanie's corset. She told me that she now hated the thing
every time she saw it in her drawer, so would I take it away." Another
rummage through her bag, and then she came out with the garment, still
in its original wrapping. "It's only size ten, I'm afraid, but that
should certainly prevent your bulging stomach from distending the line
of my skirt, as well as keeping your rampant prick under control."
I had one final line of defence. "I have a beard."
She smiled. "I wondered when you'd get around to that. It's alright. I
have some wax in my bag. It will take it all off - no problem."
"Wax! That'll hurt like crazy."
She bent down and breathed over my left nipple, and then gave it a slow
tonguing. "Maybe, but that's only what we women always have to put up
with, in order to look so good for you men."
"Oh shit!" I thought for a minute, then reluctantly added, "I guess you
could call this the ultimate part to play."
"That's my girl," Louise said, her words muffled as she sucked my right
tit inside her mouth.
***
Stepping into the road dressed as a woman for the first time was like
being on Cloud Nine. Sure, the skin on my face was still slightly
tingling, where Louise had painfully ripped off my facial hair; my
stomach appeared to be held in a vice clamped so tight I could barely
breathe; and after the initial excruciating pain in my testicles when
she had pulled the tiny pantie-girdle hard up into my groin, my balls
and dick appeared to have completely retired from the scene. I was also
freezing in the cold night air; Louise's jacket had been too tight
across my shoulders, and fearful I might split the seam, she'd
instructed me to carry it across my arm.
But on the plus side, I had a tummy which was flatter than Louise's;
without the jacket, my tits stuck out like headlamps on a 1920's
Bentley; and with every step, my two-inch heels made an erotic clacking
sound on the road, followed by a shudder which ran throughout my body.
The shudder caused my breasts to give a delicious wobble, and my nipples
to move inside my bra, giving me sweet feelings which kept me on the
edge of orgasm. Walking was like sexual intercourse - without the
intercourse.
There was, of course, plenty of opportunity for intercourse at that time
on a Saturday night. There were loads of drunken gangs of blokes roaming
the streets, ready to shag any woman who looked even remotely
interested.
"Never look at them," Louise told me as we walked, "and keep your hand
on the mace spray in your handbag." But she also gave me lots of useful
advice about how to walk, and how much to swing the hips and clack the
heels, without getting gang-banged. And also some tips on speaking. "You
never know when you might need it," she said. The scheming bitch!
The first club we came to, Gino's, seemed to be full of blokes leering
at the few females, who were mainly in twos and threes. I'd have gone on
somewhere else, but Louise walked in without hesitation. I had to dash
after her if I wasn't to be left on my own on the street.
"I'd better go into the toilet on my own," she said in the lobby, just
inside the door. "If you come in with me, strictly you'd be breaking the
law, although no one would notice." She glanced at the blokes, already
eyeing us up. "You'd better go to the bar and buy us some drinks, and
for God's sake, don't let anyone buy them for you." And she disappeared
behind the door which said 'Ladies'.
The problem was, she was absolutely right. If I followed her into the
ladies toilet, I'd be committing an offence; the way I was dressed, I
certainly couldn't go into the men's toilet; and if I continued to stand
around looking like a tart on the game, then I'd pretty quickly have a
gaggle of guys more than willing to make me an offer.
I swivelled around, appearing not to notice all the guys staring at me
and strode over to the bar, desperately trying to remember everything
Louise had told me. Never mind that, after ten minutes walking through
the streets, my ankles and calves felt as though they were on fire, and
that all I wanted to do was to sink down on a chair, lift one foot onto
my knee and remove the shoe, and quickly repeat that with the other one.
No, I had to appear totally in control.
"Getcha-a-drink-luv?"
It was a guy on his own, sitting at a stool at the bar, looking totally
pissed out of his head, and sounding even worse.
Desperately hoping he would go away, I smiled sweetly at him, and said,
speaking precisely in the way Louise had instructed, "No thanks. I'm
with a friend who's..." With a zing, my nipples suddenly popped erect,
thrusting through my blouse like flag poles with flags shouting, 'She's
gasping for sex'.
The guy did a double take. I guess that, never before had his offers of
drinks had such a response. His face broke into a grin from ear to ear,
and he stuttered some words like, "He can't be much of a bloke if he
lets a beautiful doll like you buy the drinks."
I was furiously trying to remember what Louise had said about the
Bustlet - something about it being digitally controlled, and how the
sensitivity could be turned up or down, and at the maximum setting, the
tits were so sensitive, she could have an orgasm simply by a bloke
breathing on them. The way this guy was leaning forward, I was about to
have my first female orgasm! The problem was, I couldn't remember if
she'd told me how to control my tits, or even if they simply had a mind
of their own, and behaved according to clever things like how randy I
felt. Hang on, was I really suggesting that, simply because a bloke was
chatting me up, I was feeling randy? If only I could think of something
to say in response.
Inspiration came. "It's a girl I'm waiting for," I said. "I'm a lesbian,
and I thought you were a woman dressed up as a man. That's why I got,
er, so excited. I'm sorry if I misled you."
"Me?" The drunk looked down at himself, as though hoping I might be
addressing someone else. "You thought I was a woman dressed as a man?
Holy shit! I think I must have had too much to drink." In spite of his
comment, he turned and downed the remains of his pint of lager, and
asked the barman for a refill.
"Well done." Louise was standing at my elbow. "You managed him
superbly." She eyed the bar counter. "Have you not got the drinks in
yet?"
"No, I was..."
"That's OK," she magnanimously said, looking across the room for a
suitable table. "Mine's an orange-juice and lemonade." And she left me
at the bar whilst she walked over and sat at a table!
***
"Bloody hell," I said, as I carried over our two drinks to the table.
"These breasts have a mind of their own. I only spoke a few words to a
bloke, and my nipples suddenly turned as hard as pebbles."
"Don't be a prat," she said. "I told you that you can turn it up or down
yourself. You simply have a little remote control to do it."
"Well, why did my nipples suddenly go..."
I broke off as Louise pulled out of her pocket a small remote control
device, similar to those you'd have to control a ghetto-blaster or small
hi-fi unit. She deliberately moved her thumb over the red button and
held it there for a second, before slowly pressing it; my nipples, which
over the last few minutes had returned to their normal size, suddenly
shot our again to their previous excited state. I clasped a hand over
each breast and could feel their granite-like hardness pushing against
my palms, until I became aware that every bloke in the place was staring
at me. I sat back in my chair and removed my hands. Let the stupid gits
get a hard-on, just by looking at me. What did I care?
"But why did my nipples go erect when I spoke to that chap at the bar?"
I asked, still confused at the way my newfound bits of body were
behaving.
"Don't be stupid," she said. "I simply watched you walk over to the bar
and waited until some bloke spoke to you before pressing the button."
"You did that to me!" I was flabbergasted. "But why?"
"Simply to test you out. I thought you'd take it all in your stride, and
you did. So well done."
"You thought I'd handle it. But what would have happened if I'd been
exposed as a..." I stopped just in time, before I was overheard.
She smiled. "I'd have nipped off home pretty smartish. What would you
expect?"
***
Ten minutes later, I'd calmed down sufficiently to enjoy the joke on me.
As Louise had said, I'd managed the situation perfectly, but I'd never
have the courage on my own to have dared, had she not deliberately
thrown me into it.
"By the way," I said, "there was no need for us to have come out, after
all. You had a pack of condoms in your handbag, all along." I pulled out
the box I'd discovered in Louise's handbag at the bar, as I'd been
searching for money to pay for the drinks, and held it in front of her
eyes.
"Oh, how stupid of me," she said.
"I see we have similar tastes," I continued. "These are exactly the same
brand as the ones I was looking for in my bedroom."
Then I noticed something about the pack. "Hang on." I turned the pack
over, a sudden sickening feeling in my heart. I pushed the pack towards
her and said, "This IS the pack of condoms from my bedside cabinet.
There's the stain where I spilt some tea over them. You stole these from
the drawer whilst you were supposed to be in the toilet."
"That's right."
Her admission took my breath away. "That's right? What do you mean,
that's right?"
"I agree that I used my trip to the toilet as an excuse to search your
bedroom for your supply of condoms, and then hid them in my handbag.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't stealing, as I was fully intending to give
them back to you, but I think that's rather playing with words. So, your
accusation is fully justified."
"But... but... Why?"
Another playful smile. "I could see how excited you were by my Bustlets,
and had got to the point where you were curious about how they would
feel. I guessed you'd be prepared to try them on in the safety of your
flat, but I reckoned that in order to really get the ultimate enjoyment
from them, you'd need to be seen in public. So, I carried out a simple
trick. I admit it was wrong, but don't try to tell me you're not
delighted that I did it."
Her words brought me to my senses, and I had to agree; the elation I'd
been feeling since leaving the flat had been like nothing I'd ever
experienced before. I was on a high, which I never wanted to end. I also
had to agree that, of my own volition, I would never have had the
courage to do it. I slowly nodded as the thoughts sank in, and then I
was grinning at her, and then laughing.
"Shhh," she said. "That's a most unladylike laugh."
And then the real truth hit me so hard between the eyes that my laughter
was cut off in mid-stream. I stared at her, and she stared back at me,
uncompromisingly.
"You already had a blackmail hold over Geoff. So why did you get me to
agree to give up my role as Reggie? You didn't need to offer him my
part."
She returned a straight bat. "It was useful to have some flexibility."
"This evening, when we were in the middle of the argument about who'd
suggested 'Melons', I looked across at you to see whose side you were
on. But you were looking as though you'd been struck by a thunderbolt."
She gave no response, simply waited to hear my next words.
"The reason was that Jane's comment had left you totally speechless."
Still, she didn't respond, so I continued, "Jane said that since I'd
suggested the play, I should take the part of Melanie. Now I started
arguing about who'd originally suggested the play, but you'd recognised
the more important phrase - that *I* should take the part of Melanie!"
I'd delivered the last sentence with all the ritual that might accompany
the accusation of murder in a d?nouement, but Louise's reaction was
completely flat. "Absolutely right."
"You admit it?"
"Of course." She paused a moment before explaining. "When 'Melons' was
first suggested, I believed there was only one person present who had
the acting ability to play the part of Melanie - me - and I simply
couldn't do it for the reason we've already discussed. Therefore, I
poured scorn on the whole idea, as I didn't want to have to justify my
reasons. But tonight, Jane unwittingly opened my eyes to the fact that
someone else had the skills to take the part. You, Charles, could play
the part of Melanie. It's undoubtedly the biggest challenge you will
ever have taken. I'm now the Director, so I can offer you the part. Do
you want it?"
"It's not as simple as that, is it?" I ignored her question. "For one
thing, have you noticed that whilst the top of me may resemble a well-
shaped woman, there's something missing at the bottom? Because if you
haven't noticed it, I'm certain the audience will when Melanie prances
about naked on the stage. For another reason, there'd be exactly the
same problem with me playing the part wearing Bustlets, as if you'd
played it."
"Look." Louise was suddenly in her domineering mood. "I admit that I've
been deceiving you in order to get you this far, but now you have to
make the decision for yourself. I'm convinced you have the capabilities
to play this exceptionally challenging role; everyone in this club is
convinced you're a sexy woman; you deal with tricky situations as
naturally as any other woman would; and you are unbelievably excited by
the whole idea.
"If you really want to play it," she continued, "we can get round all
the problems. For example, I know that the shop which supplies me with
the Bustlets, also produces certain discrete products for men which give
them the total appearance of a woman. As for the other issue, the
situation is very different to my playing the part. Lots of people know
my secret - only I know yours. We keep the whole charade top secret. We
could tell everyone, in BRATS and elsewhere, that your sister is filling
in the part of Melanie." She let the thought sink in before continuing.
"But first of all, you need to decide whether or not you want to play
the most challenging role you've ever been offered. So, what's the
answer?"
I didn't have to think - indeed, it was probably better if I didn't.
"I'll do it."
"I've got you two so-called girls sussed." The voice of my drunken
friend from the bar came from over my right shoulder, and Louise's eyes
stared up in alarm at him, as he continued. "Your friend is really a
bloke dressed up as a woman - Transylvanians, they call them. Now I'm
going to give him a punch - that'll teach him a lesson, coming in here
dressed like this."
I abruptly slid sideways off my chair to the left, trying to get out of
punching range, before I turned and crouched behind the table. He stood,
his clenched fist waving in the air towards Louise. I don't think he
really would have hit her, but suddenly, a bouncer appeared behind him,
and in a flash the assailant was in a half-Nelson arm-lock, and being
dragged towards the door.
When he was almost at the door, he shouted out, "I should have noticed
straightaway she wasn't a woman - she hadn't got any tits. Not like you,
love," he looked directly at me, "I could tell you was a nice girl."
***
"I'm not going to have sex with you."
How did I know Louise was going to say that?
After receiving apologies from the management about the disturbance, and
vouchers for free drinks the next time we visited, we walked briskly
back towards my flat. Neither of us spoke as we walked. It might have
been the proximity to violence that kept us quiet, but in my case
anyway, it was more that I was getting to terms with the commitment I
had just made. I was taking a hell of a risk to my personal integrity,
and even to the success of my business, which could fail if people
discovered the truth.
"Because you want to keep our relationship professional," I replied,
acknowledging that I too had reluctantly been coming to the same
conclusion.
"Do you mind?"
I considered. I should have been more frustrated, but the sexual
excitement I'd felt that evening was like nothing I'd experienced before
and, if I was not mistaken, I'd be getting considerable quantities of
the same thing for several weeks to come.
"I think you're right, but what are you going to do right now? Do you
want to sleep on my settee?"
"I'll come in for a few minutes so we can sort out our plans for
tomorrow, but then I'll drive home. My car's only round the corner."
"Do you think that's wise? You must have had a lot to drink tonight. You
don't want to get stopped by the police."
"I know you kept topping up my wine glass every time you emptied
yours," she said, "but I reckon I've only had about one glass of wine,
in total."
"But we finished two complete bottles," I said. "And what about the
stuff that Geoff gave you at his house?"
"You drank almost the whole of those two bottles - I only had just the
one glass. As for Geoff's wine, I told you, it was revolting. As he kept
feeding it to me, so I emptied it into the tub of that Swiss-Cheese
plant he has in his lounge. I'd guess it will be dead tomorrow."
"It appears to be quite a hardy plant," I said. "I always empty my
drinks into that plant tub." But something was definitely not quite
right. "Hang on! You were pissed as a newt when you came round here this
evening."
"Was I? I really don't think so."
Shit! Shit! Shit! Never trust an actor, a woman, or an estate agent. And
never, never, never trust someone who's all three.
CHAPTER FOUR - I GET WELL AND TRULY STUFFED
We left Bramcombe at eight the next morning for the two-hour drive to
Seacombe, where the shop called Big Busts was located. Louise, because
of her longstanding business with the company, had been able to secure
an emergency slot with Toni the proprietor (although she didn't admit
until later that she'd actually made the appointment before coming round
to my flat the previous evening!).
Toni herself was an attractive black woman, and I found it very
difficult to judge her age. The firm, shapely tits and lack of wrinkles
around the neck probably made most people think she was quite young, but
I wasn't so easily fooled! But she was friendly enough, and she listened
with care as Louise outlined our needs.
"No problem, Louise," she said. "Charles needs to turn into his
imaginary sister, and act in a play. It's got to be a total conversion,
so that even when seen naked, the audience won't know the difference,
and neither will the other actors in the performance.
"Right," she said, eyeing me up and down, "get stripped off."
"Everything?" I asked, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
"Everything," she said. "I've seen it all before."
"Well, I think I'll disappear for a while," Louise said. "There are some
things it's better for a young lady not to see, and I've some shopping
to do."
***
When she had gone, Toni stared at my naked body. "You're quite well
built, aren't you?"
"Thank you." I'd always thought I looked pretty weedy, myself, but if
she thought I looked good, who was I to...
"It was a criticism, not a compliment," she said. "Makes it more
difficult to get you looking really convincing."
"Well, I suppose my genitals are..."
"Oh they're no problem at all," she interrupted. "In my time here, I've
stuffed absolutely massive ones totally out of sight, so genitals your
size are easy. No, it's the muscles on your arms and your wide shoulders
that are the age-old problem in trying to make men look like convincing
women. The standard method of compensating for that is to pack out the
hips and thighs until they're even wider than your shoulders, but I have
an extra trick up my sleeve."
She produced a colour chart with a whole range of different skin colours
on it, and she spent some time deciding on the exact match. Then, she
opened a storage cupboard in the wall, in which I could see dozens of
different boxes, selected one of them and said, "Let's try this as a
starter."
She pulled the product out of the box. It looked very similar to the
Bustlet that Louise had worn, only with elbow-length sleeves. "The
sleeves are elasticised," she said, "which slims down the upper arm in
the same way as a girdle. Slip it on."
But when I took it from her, I was surprised to find there were no
squeeezy breasts. "They all come with empty breast sacs," Toni
explained. "We pump them up afterwards. Means we can set the size
exactly to customers' requirements."
She helped me slip into it, and pulled it down over my arms and body,
and smoothed down the edges. "That's a pretty good colour match," she
said.
I had to stare closely to determine the line where the sleeves ended,
just at the join of my elbows. I looked in the mirror to see my back. I
could just discern a slight line across my back. At the worst, it might
look like an indentation left by a bra.
"It's incredibly tight across the shoulder blades," I complained.
"Excellent," Toni said, "that's just how it's meant to be. Squeezing
your shoulders as small as possible."
She smiled, rather maliciously, I thought. "Now, I really enjoy this
next bit - stuffing blokes goolies away."
She did, too. She made me lie on my back on a leather couch and rest my
legs on two stirrups - the kind they use for women's internal
examinations. I was terrified, but she was actually quite gentle, and in
just a few minutes, she was fetching another box from her cupboard.
"Louise suggested a hairless vagina would look best for the performance.
Is that alright with you?"
"Well. I..."
But she was already pushing the device between my legs, and sticking it
in place with clear glue. "Unlike the Bustlets," she said, "the
sensitivity of your vagina can't be changed by remote control, so I've
given you the deluxe version, which is ultra-sensitive. Most blokes go
for that one."
"You mean I actually have a false vagina? I thought it would simply look
like one, not that I'd be able to feel anything down there."
"No, you have a highly sensitive, fully usable vagina. Obviously, unlike
a real vagina, which can expand to a fantastic size, it can't take a
very large penis. Most men will find you have a real tight cunt, but
they'll probably enjoy it all the more."
"But I don't want to have sex with a bloke."
"That's what they all say, but if I were you, I'd keep an open mind.
Once you've gone a few days without sex and you realise the only way
you're going to get any is by thinking as a woman, then you may find the
delights of your new pussy might change your mind about blokes."
"But, can't I take it off?"
"Not with this glue," she said with a little shake of her head, "and we
need to use this glue to make certain your bits don't pop out at the
wrong moment. Anyway, now we have your vagina in place, let's slip on
your false hips, and get that and your Bustlet pumped up to size. Louise
suggested breasts somewhat larger than hers. What do you think?"
I considered, thinking back to last night and estimating the size of
Louise's breasts in my hands. Hers were exceptionally nice, grapefruit
size. But to play the part of Melanie, bigger tits would certainly be
preferable.
"OK," I said, "if that's what Louise thinks."
"Right. Let's get you connected up to the pump."
She took me over to a machine by the wall with several plastic tubes
emerging from it with rubber cups on the end, a bit like a milking-
machine for cows - which I supposed it was exactly what it was - only to
put milk in, not take it out. Toni carefully connected the cups into
little pipes she pulled from the top of the hips, and into the nipples
on my Bustlet. Then she set up various knobs on the machine - "Just
setting the quantities," she said.
Finally, she switched on a motor and let it run up to speed. "OK," she
said. "I'll just throw the switch and we'll inflate you. It all happens
quite quickly, so don't get taken by surprise." She reached forward and
pushed a big red button on the front.
It was like being connected to a high-pressure airline. One minute, I
was my normal shape, with bits of pipe sticking out of my body - the
next, my tits, arse and hips inflated until they were all enormous.
"It's gone wrong," I shouted. "I'm too big."
"Rubbish," Toni said. "It's all gone perfectly according to plan."
"But look at my tits. They're absolutely enormous. They must be more
than twice the size of Louise's."
"Well, in volume and weight, yes, they're exactly twice as big, but
their diameter isn't actually that much larger."
"Twice as heavy as Louise's?" I stared at them, fascinated by their
size, but already feeling an ache in my shoulders. "They're colossal!
How do women get used to breasts this size?"
"They never do," Toni said. "Women with breasts that size usually can't
wait to get a reduction. You'll get every dick-head staring at them,
thinking that you're desperate for sex, and the sheer weight of your
breasts makes your back and shoulders continually ache. You've got the
equivalent weight of two bags of sugar hanging on your front, you see.
No, you blokes may think they look great, but you'll find they're
absolute murder to carry around all day."
I could see her point. By now, my shoulders were beginning to really
complain. "Don't I get a bra to help hold them up?"
"That's part of the shopping Louise was going to get for you. In the
meantime, we have to complete the final part of the transformation
process; your voice."
I was puzzled. "Well, what can you do about that? I thought I'd just
have to practise..."
My voice died away as Toni brought out a remote control, similar to the
one that Louise had shown me the evening before.
"The Bustlet has a voice-changer inside connected to a throat-mike,"
Toni said. "If you simply talk very quietly, the mike will pick up your
words, amplify and raise them in pitch, and then transmit them through
the speakers. I can fine-tune the changes with the remote. Now, start
speaking."
I made a few "One-Two-Three's" and "The quick brown fox" and was
delighted with my new voice. It sounded for all the world as though the
words were being spoken by a woman, especially as Toni fiddled with the
remote some more.
"That's brilliant, Toni," I squeaked.
She smiled at me, looking me up and down. "Not bad," she said. "So tell
me, what do you think about your
I stared in the wall-mirror. What I thought was that I actually looked
bloody good. OK, perhaps many women would think they were overweight if
they were my size, but with my well-padded out hips, bulging thighs and
huge bum, I didn't look top-heavy as I had done the previous evening.
And since my waist was unchanged, I actually had a pretty good figure,
without the need to resort to a corset.
"I think, Toni," I shrilled, "that you have done an absolutely fantastic
job in producing an actress to play the part of Melanie. Well done, I
look superb."
"Well, I think you look terribly overweight," Louise's voice came from
behind me, "but I suppose Toni knows what she's doing. After all, she
was hardly starting with a perfect shape, was she?"

Louise had bought a whole selection of bras for me to try on to get the
best fit. With a woman of my size, it appeared the most important aspect
of a bra was not to show off the breasts to their best advantage, but to
minimise their impact. My breasts were pulled around to the sides of my
body, rather than being pushed out of the front. In compensation, the

They should make you look pretty inconspicuous - in fact just like an
ordinary woman, who we can introduce to the others in the group tonight
as your sister, and who can carry on your business during the day."
"Hang on, Louise," I protested. "I'm only getting dressed for my
performance at BRATS, and for the rehearsals in front of the others.
There's no way I can wear this stuff in the photocopy shop, all day, and
every day."
She smiled, tolerantly, and shook her head. "Oh Charlotte." (I smirked
at the name she'd decided upon for my sister. Why did my mind flutter
like that, just at the mention of it?) "There's no way that would work.
It's going to take you ages, just to get into character. You can't
simply pop your clothes on and off, and expect to be convincing. We have
to tell the others that your brother, Charles, has had to go away, but
you're standing in for him. And you have to be a woman for the next
eight weeks. Surely, you realised that when you accepted the role, last
night?"
I didn't even bother to protest that last night I'd been drunk. For in
reality, I knew two things: Firstly
