The house was haunted, sure--or, at least, that's what Donna Adams, the
real estate agent, told me. She had to, by California law. Ridiculous,
of course, but I wasn't arguing with her, not when the rumor lowered the
rent by two thirds. I couldn't pass up a deal like that. I'd been out of
work for months, and my unemployment benefits were all but gone.
Luckily, soon after moving to San Rafael, I landed a technical writing
job. It didn't pay all that much (which made my "haunted house" all the
more desirable), but it had two perks: I didn't have a commute, and I
didn't have to put up with the petty office politics that invariably
arise in offices.
So, on February 1, I moved in. The place came furnished, which was
another plus, since I didn't have the cash, just now, to buy furniture.
The former tenant, Tammy Something, was in her twenties, but she'd had
good--and expensive--tastes. Her parents, who actually owned the place,
Donna informed me, and were, therefore, my landlords, were obviously
wealthy, and either they or Tammy had furnished and decorated the
mansion first class, all the way. Everything's marble and hardwood, and
her dishes--yes, even they came with the place--were all china and silver
and crystal.
The only downside to the place is that it's totally feminine: pale pink
walls, display cases full of beaded purses and jewelry, a china closet
converted into a showcase for her fabulous collection of dolls, silk
flowers, impressionist oil paintings of elegant Victorian scenes, a
canopy bed with pink curtains and lace, frilly drapes at the windows,
and ornamental touches to everything. The effect is beautiful --but it's
also totally feminine in every detail. Still, I didn't complain; I'd
rather live among feminine finery than sleep on the floor, at least
until I could save enough for a bed; I'd rather eat off china, with
silver, than to pop for paper plates and plastic cutlery; and I'd rather
sit on a brocaded couch and watch TV than loll around in a cheap beanbag
chair or a futon I can't really afford.
She even left shelves full of fashion magazines and her clothes--walk-in
closets crammed full of them--hundreds of outfits comprised of scores and
scores of skirts, shorts, blouses, jackets, hats, scarves, coats,
gloves, you name it, right down to her bikinis, bras, panties, and
lingerie. She had a couple hundred pairs of shoes alone!
In addition, in each of her five bathrooms, there are bottles of
perfume, razors and shaving cream (for her legs, I imagine), and a
warehouse of other toiletries. It would take a month just to toss the
stuff out, which is why I'm just letting it be. I don't need much closet
space for my own wardrobes, because I don't have that many clothes. I'm
a guy. Besides, I work at home; I don't need clothes. Most of the time,
I go around nude. It's one of the benefits of living alone and working
at home. Well, I don't live entirely alone. There's Max, my black
tomcat, but he doesn't give a rat's ass about seeing my naked ass, cock,
or balls. As long as he gets plenty of food and sleep, he's content.
Donna also told me that Tammy died in the house --or on the patio outside
the house, rather: California law requires realtors to advise renters of
any deaths that occurred on the premises they're considering renting.
"How'd she die?" I asked, just curious.
Donna said, "It's a great house, Mr. Stevens"
"Rod."
"--huge, fully furnished, and a steal at only--"
"She was murdered, wasn't she?" I guessed.
Donna frowned. "On her patio, Rod, not in the house."
"My God. Who? Why? How?"
"She was stalked. Her stalker eventually killed her. With a knife, I
believe." She paused, sighed, and asked, "So, do you want the place or
not?"
"There's no security deposit, no pet deposit, and no last month's rent,
right?"
"Right."
"I'll take it," I agreed, and wrote her a check.
On her way out the door, she called over her shoulder, "I think, if
there is a ghost, Rod--and I'm not saying there is--it's hers."
* * *
It took me only a few days to settle into the spacious, luxurious
mansion. It took Max a bit longer. Cats are finicky about two things,
I've found: their food and their surroundings. They don't tolerate
change very well when it comes to either their dinner or their digs.
The job was going well. It was boring, but it paid--not well, but enough,
given the reduction in rent and the owner's willingness to forgo
security and pet deposits. My assignment was to write reports about
desert hydrology. I could keep at it for only a couple of hours at a
time, writing about desert crust, the hydraulic properties of surface
soil, infiltration rates, and vegetation control, whereupon my brain
would rebel, my eyes would glaze over, and I'd need to take a break.
Then, I'd get up from the computer desk; stretch; walk from the office,
down a long corridor, past ornamental vases, ornate tapestries, and
bronze figurines and statues in marble and and ivory and jade, to the
book-lined mahogany shelves of the spacious library; and thumb the gilt-
edged, leather-bound volumes. Tammy's taste in books was, like her
house, first rate, and she had all the essential classics as well as a
representative collection of contemporary genres, but these latter were
more given to the tastes of women than of men, and included a sizable
collection of somewhat tawdry romances, all hardbound. I chuckled at the
titles of a few of them: Passion Play, Hearts Adrift, Sultry Summer, and
Love's Inferno, before ambling out to the kitchen to pour myself a fresh
cup of coffee.
When I came into the kitchen, Max was crouched beside the refrigerator,
his tail waving slowly back and forth. He was staring intently at a
point in the middle of the room. What's his problem? I wondered.
"Not enough turkey in your Poultry Delight?" I peered into his food
bowl. Like his water bowl, it was nearly full. "Kitchen's feng shui not
to your liking?"
With a wild screech, Max bolted past me. What the hell? I thought.
He acted as if he'd seen something--
--a ghost --
--but there was no one here but him and me.
I shrugged. Cats could be temperamental sometimes, although, usually,
Max wasn't.
I unscrewed the lid of my favorite brand of instant coffee --I happen to
like instant coffee (and it's cheaper than the brewed stuff)--and
followed a spoonful of the dark, aromatic brew with two spoons of sugar,
then added water, and placed the mug in the microwave oven. I set the
timer for two minutes and twenty-two seconds.
While the coffee was being heated, I went in search of Max, to see
whether he'd calmed down. I didn't like the way he'd acted; I'd never
seen him frightened by nothing, although he was in a strange
environment, so maybe his kitty nerves were still a little on edge. I
looked in the living room and the dining room, but he wasn't in either
place, unless he was hiding under a couch or behind a chest, so I
returned to the kitchen, just in time to hear the ding of the oven,
advising me that my beverage had been heated for the time I'd specified.
I pressed the release lever and reached inside.
My mug was cold.
I frowned. I'd set the timer for two minutes and twenty-two seconds. I
looked at the clock built into the oven. It was 10:38. Two minutes and
twenty-two seconds had passed. My coffee should have been piping hot,
its ceramic surface warm to the touch. Steam should be rising from the
beverage.
But the coffee wasn't steaming, and the mug wasn't hot.
I frowned.
I must have made a mistake in setting the timer, I thought. Maybe I'd
set twenty-two seconds
instead of two minutes and twenty-two seconds.
I shrugged, setting the timer again. This time, I watched myself do so,
careful to press the button firmly each time. Then, I waited by the oven
while the coffee heated. Two minutes and twenty-two seconds later, I
drew a steaming-hot mug from the oven.
Shaking my head at my own idiocy, I was about to go into the den, to
watch a little mid-morning news on the wall-mounted big-screen
television, when I paused and sniffed. I couldn't be sure, but there
seemed to be the faintest scent of perfume in the air. I sniffed again.
The fragrance lingered--or maybe it did so only in my imagination. The
next thing I knew, I chided myself, I'd be seeing Tammy's ghost!
Chuckling, I continued into the den, where, I found, the TV set was on,
and there was the faint
hint of the same perfume I'd smelled --hadn't I?--a moment ago, in the
kitchen.
* * *
The TV wasn't, really on. I just supposed that it might be on. I also
imagined that I might sense a hint of Tammy's elusive perfume.
Neither incident had actually occurred, but, I realized, it would be
easy to let my imagination run away with me, rattling around in this
mansion with no one to keep me company but Max, who'd just proved he
wasn't the bravest feline on the planet, and the knowledge that Tammy
had been killed just outside these walls, on her--now, for as long as I
rented this place, anyway, my--patio and that her twenty-something-year-
old ghost supposedly haunted the premises.
I shivered, not at the thought of her ghost, but at the terror she must
have felt when the stalker loomed before her, knife in hand. In a sick,
twisted way, a knife is a rather personal, even intimate, weapon with
which to kill someone. A phallic symbol, it penetrates, but causes
death, instead of life. I could picture the blade rising and falling,
plunging into her breast as she stared, wide-eyed, screaming, then
whimpering, then gurgling, maybe, as she tried to breathe through the
blood in her throat and chest.
No, I told myself, there wouldn't be any turning on of television sets
or wearing of perfume, not by Tammy, at any rate.
I'd hoped to catch the local news, but it had been interrupted--or
displaced--by reports of a mass murderer who'd opened up with a pair of
handguns at a shopping mall somewhere in Tallahassee. "It's not
linked," the newscaster reassured viewers, "to terrorism." The talking
heads always seemed to know that with such swiftness and with such utter
certainty that the denial seemed more propaganda than fact.
After I'd drunk my coffee, I ambled back to the computer desk, still
naked, and, with my penis lolling atop my testicles, continued to write
my latest report concerning the fascinating subject of desert hydrology.
I didn't see Max until lunchtime.
He'd quieted down, even condescending, in his aloofness, to let me
stroke his satin-smooth fur.
"There are no such things as ghosts, Max," I reassured him. My tone was
confident, but, as I spoke these words of comfort to my feline friend, I
recalled the newscaster's similar reassurance that the mall shooting
spree was unrelated to terrorism. Maybe Max wasn't buying my message any
more than a lot of viewers were convinced by the anchor's reassuring
declaration.
I decided to add a little fresh turkey, from a package of sandwich meats
I'd bought yesterday, to Max's dish of Poultry Delight.
He seemed to appreciate my gesture, rewarding me a deep-throated purr as
he dined.
* * *
Damn! I was out of cigarettes. Smoking is a stupid, filthy habit, I
know, and a health hazard. I know I should quit, but knowing and doing
are two different matters. Someday, I tell myself. But "someday" never
seems to be today.
I promised myself that I'd do a solid three hours of work, without a
break, and then reward myself with a smoke. Now, out of cigarettes, I
want one even more than I might have wanted one otherwise. It seems we
want anything we can't have the most, just because we can't have it.
I'd have to get dressed, cross the street, and buy a pack at the
drugstore. I really hated to do so, though; I like being naked. Well, I
told myself, the sooner I went, the sooner I'd get back, be able to shed
my clothes again, and enjoy a smoke.
My clothes--the few I have--are in the walk-in closet in the master
bedroom--the one with the canopy bed with the pink, ruffled curtains and
the doll collection and the teddy bears and the vanity table in the
bathroom, fully loaded with cosmetics, perfumes, and all the other
accoutrements of femininity. I'd just toss on a shirt, a pair of shorts,
and a pair of sandals. Ten minutes, later, I'd be back in the mansion,
as naked as the day I was born, sucking on a cigarette. I really should
quit smoking, I told myself.
Tammy's closet was the size of some people's bedroom, and, even at that
size, it was packed with outfits, as were her other bedrooms' walk-in
closets. She could have stocked a department store's women's department
and had togs left over. I couldn't begin to name all the styles and cuts
and designs she had, but there was plenty of everything.
As I reached for a T-shirt that may or may not have been laundered
anytime soon, my forearm grazed one of Tammy's blouses, a peach number
in silk. The fabric felt wonderfully sleek and soft against my skin,
very pleasant to the touch. I rubbed the material between my thumb and
forefinger. It was incredibly smooth, almost like water. It felt sexy.
My cock twitched, stirring. I smiled, never having had an erotic moment
simply because of the feel of something. Wasn't that more a feminine
response? Men were more into sight, women into touch and texture, right?
My prick didn't seem to know this, nor did it seem to care. It swelled,
becoming thicker and harder as I continued to rub the silk blouse.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of something cherry red. I
turned my head to see a pair of Tammy's thong panties. I'd been in this
closet a few times, to hang or fetch a shirt, a pair of jeans, or my
shoes, but I hadn't noticed these panties before, despite their intense
hue. None of Tammy's other underwear was here, just these bright-red
thongs.
They looked almost as if they'd been placed here, atop the clothes
hamper, for me to find. Guys aren't all that observant, I guess. I
touched the panties. They, too, were smooth and soft. Satin. My cock
swelled further. Who would have thought that a blouse and a pair of
panties could have such an arousing effect on a guy? Not me, certainly.
I blinked. For a moment, it seemed as though I'd forgotten why I'd come
here. I seemed to have been in a daze. I let go of the
panties--reluctantly--and grabbed the T-shirt, shorts, and sandals, got
dressed, and hurried from the closet. On my way out of the bedroom, I
noticed a bottle of Tammy's perfume. It was on her vanity. On a whim, I
sprayed a mist of the perfume: its fragrance was identical to the scent
that I'd smelled earlier--or imagined I'd smelled. Impulsively, I dabbed
a few drops on my face, enjoying the fragrance. Tammy, I decided, hadn't
only looked good, but she'd smelled good, too.
I was back in eight minutes, flat. There were few customers in the
drugstore, it being early afternoon, and I completed my purchase in
short order. Locking the great double doors to the main entrance behind
me, I ascended the long flight of "S"-shaped stairs to the second floor,
where I'd set up my office, and, after enjoying the smoke I'd promised
myself, I returned to work, not bothering to strip, as I usually would
have done, as, without further delay, I wanted to write a few more pages
of my latest report on the fascinating topic of desert hydrology; this
one dealt with sampling techniques and was as dry as the sands that
drift across the arid landscapes of the parched terrain itself.
What the hell! I thought.
Somehow, a photograph of a transvestite had been save to my computer
monitor's desktop, as its background image. I knew it was a man --albeit,
I had to admit, a guy every bit as gorgeous and glamorous as any female
model I'd ever seen--because she--or he--sported an erect cock above a pair
of good-size, shaved balls. Until the eye noticed these details, the
figure was the image of a lovely lady.
Dressed in a bubblegum-pink tank top with spaghetti straps, which showed
her narrow waist and concave tummy, and a red leather mini-skirt, white
stockings, and ruby stilettos, the dark-haired vixen was tall, slender,
and shapely--although whether her boobs were implants or digital
enhancements, I had no idea--and all woman, except for her manly cock and
balls. She had a familiar face, one I might have seen before, but, of
course, that was impossible; I didn't date or even associate with cross
dressers. Still, there was something familiar about this lovely
transvestite's face.
How the hell she--or he--had gotten on my computer screen, I had no clue.
Maybe I'd downloaded the image accidentally, along with a virus, when
I'd saved some work-related files from the company's server or maybe I'd
picked up the virus while surfing the 'net. I shrugged. However the hell
she--or he--had managed to invade my computer, I was going to delete the
image. A few mouse clicks and keystrokes later, and the pornographic
image had gone to her--or his--reward.
I found, however, that out of sight, in her --or his--case was definitely
not out of mind. I found the mixture of feminine and masculine
intriguing, although I'd never been attracted to transvestites or
transsexuals before, and, I told myself, I wasn't attracted to them now.
It's just that the combination of the perfectly coiffed hair, all waves
and curls; the expertly applied makeup; the feminine attire; the
figure's firm, sleek breasts and long, shapely legs, coupled with her--or
his--male genitals was striking; it was mesmerizing. I'd stared at the
hybrid charms of the feminine-masculine model for quite a few minutes, I
recall, before deleting it.
My eye had traveled down the slender, but curvaceous, figure, taking in
the curves, the smooth skin, the feminine costume, and the incongruity
of these features and the figure's male sex organs. The mixture of male
and female didn't compute; therein lay the model's captivating allure.
Although the image was no longer on my monitor to study and enjoy, I
found myself thinking of the beautiful face and the lovely body to the
point that I couldn't concentrate on the work at hand. My cock reminded
me of my interest in the curious photograph; it wasn't just erect, but
rock hard, standing, at full length, upright before my belly. How the
hell was I to write about soil sampling techniques with such visions of
loveliness in my mind?
I felt confused. I'd never been attracted to cross dressers, but, now,
judging by my stiff, standing cock, I was aroused, indeed, by the memory
of the beautiful, androgynous figure who'd adorned my screen just a few
moments ago. How the hell could I be attracted to a man dressed as a
woman. She--or he--might be lovely to look at, but, damn it!, "she" was
still a he! Was I going gay, somehow, now that I'd turned twenty five?
Could a guy "go gay"? Could he be straight one day and a faggot the
next?
No, I told myself, I wasn't aroused by the transvestite's picture; I was
merely curious. My hard-on disagreed.
With a sigh, I gave up, shut down my computer, and decided to go out
again. This time, my destination would be the local library. I'd just
remembered why the transvestite's face had seemed so familiar: she --or
he--had been the very image of Tammy. As far as their hair, their eyes,
their nose, their lips, their chins, their jawlines, and their bone
structure were concerned, they could have been twins. Suddenly, the
previous tenant, daughter of my present, but unmet landlords, about whom
I'd thought precious little, seemed important to me; I had, for some
reason, to know about her, about how she was killed, and why.
"Max!" I called, wanting to check on my feline friend before leaving for
the rest of the afternoon. "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!"
I waited.
There was no sign of him.
Slightly worried, I called his name again, but he didn't respond.
I checked his bowls. He didn't seem to have touched his food, and his
water bowl was still full to the brim. Mildly concerned, I decided that
Max must still be adjusting to his new environment. I'd keep an eye on
him; if he didn't come around in the next day or two, I'd take him to
the vet.
I hastened to one of the mansion's five bathrooms, thinking it best to
pee before, dressing, I caught the bus across town to the library. If I
didn't take such a precaution, I'd no doubt feel the urge to relieve
myself halfway to my destination, when there'd be no restroom available.
I chose the bathroom in the master bedroom, not because it was the
closest, but because it contained Tammy's vanity and a lot of her
clothing and other effects. This bedroom and its connected bathroom were
the ones in which she'd probably spent most of her time when she'd
slept, made love, showered, put on her face, dressed, or gotten ready
for bed--and, unlike the other bathrooms, it was scented with her
perfume. Why it was important to me that I feel close to her, I couldn't
say; it just was.
At the toilet, I lifted the seat, unzipped my shorts, extracted my cock,
took aim, pointing my manhood in the direction of the center of the
toilet bowl, and, froze, staring in disbelief: I was wearing Tammy's
cherry-red thong panties! I remembered seeing them on the clothes hamper
in the closet, but I had no recollection of having picked them up, and
certainly had no memory of having actually donned the underwear, yet, I
was certainly wearing them.
The panties were too small, of course, and, had the waistband and the
leg bands not been elastic, there would have been no way I could have
stepped into them and pulled them over my hips. As it was, the thin,
satin pouch that comprised the front of the panties was tented and
partially askew in front. I was flaccid at the moment, but, a few
minutes earlier, haunted by the image of the beautiful young
transvestite on my computer screen, my cock had been stiff and swollen
to the point, it had seemed, of bursting; no doubt, my erection had
pushed the front of the panties aside.
Although I saw, with my own eyes, that I was, in fact, wearing Tammy's
thongs, I couldn't believe it. How could I have picked up the panties
and put them on without realizing or, at least, without remembering,
that I had done so? It was impossible.
And, yet, obviously, it was not impossible.
Unable to hold back any longer, I surrendered to the need to relieve the
pressure on my bladder, and a mighty stream of light-amber urine arced
into the porcelain bowl. I pissed for over a minute. Then, shaking off
the last few drops, I kicked off my sandals, removed my shorts, and
started to take off Tammy's panties. With them halfway down my thighs, I
paused. My cock had swelled, stiffening. It felt incredibly sexy to be
wearing a woman's panties, especially thongs that could barely contain
my cock and balls and did absolutely nothing to conceal my taut, compact
buttocks. I felt sexy wearing them, just as, I imagined, Tammy must have
felt with the thin satin fabric covering her pubes while exposing her
bottom. I resisted the impulse to masturbate while wearing the panties,
not wanting to stain them with my semen.
Don't take them off; wear them , I thought.
I shivered. Although the thought was mine, the words seemed to have been
spoken, in a sultry whisper, by a feminine voice. I pulled the panties
back up my legs and over my hips, adjusting the front as best I could
over my jutting prick. Then, with my ass exposed, I stepped back into my
shorts and put my sandals back on. I was going to go to the library, as
I'd planned, but I was going to go wearing Tammy's cherry-red thongs.
Although it was freaky that I'd put them on without realizing or
remembering having done so, I was glad I had donned the underwear. They
were comfortable. They were glamorous. They were beautiful.
They were also sexy as hell.
On my way out of the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of myself in the
mirror. I stopped, puzzled. Staring at my reflection, I confirmed my
impression: I looked smaller and slenderer, as if I'd somehow shrunk all
over, and proportionately, as if my tall, gangly body had been reduced,
scaled down, and, at the same time, made more graceful and more
attractive. It was my imagination, of course. What else could have made
me see myself as smaller and sexier than I really was? It was amazing
what wearing a pair of women's thong panties could do to a guy's self-
image, I thought. I spritzed some of Tammy's perfume onto my face,
smiling at the familiar fragrance.
Take a jacket. It could be chilly in the library , the feminine voice
that seemed to be uttering my thoughts suggested, as I started for the
doorway that connected bathroom to bedroom.
Sometimes, the air conditioner was a little much, I thought. I crossed
the bathroom again,
opened the sliding-glass door to the closet, and grabbed a jacket. One
of Tammy's, it wouldn't fit me, I thought, but when I shrugged into it,
fearing I'd split a hundred stitches, the garment went on easily, as if
it had been tailored for me. For some reason, she must have purchased
this particular jacket in an extra-large size or maybe she'd borrowed it
from a friend or someone had left it here after a visit and Tammy had
set it aside to return later. Or maybe I really was becoming girl size,
I thought, with a giggle.
Once again, catching sight of Tammy's hundreds of shoes, I was
astonished that anyone, wealthy or not, could have---or would even want
to own--so many shoes. They were cute, though, I had to admit. Some were,
anyway. Others were beautiful. Still others were sexy. There were all
kinds, in many different styles, from sneakers and sandals to sling-
backs and stilettos. It was crazy, I thought, but I could see, almost,
how a woman would maybe want so many shoes. Of course, none of them
would fit me, even if I wanted, for the hell of it, just to satisfy my
curiosity, to try on a pair or two.
You could buy a pair in your size , the voice that wasn't my voice, but
some chick's, suggested.
I chuckled. Not on my salary, I couldn't.
There was an envelope on the clothes hamper, where, earlier, Tammy's
thong panties had been displayed. It hadn't been there before, had it?
Maybe it had been under the thongs and I just hadn't noticed it, my
thoughts having been captivated by the panties at the time.
I picked up the large manilla envelope. Something inside it made it
thick and bulky. I opened the flap, which had been sealed with adhesive
cellophane tape.
My heart skipped a beat, and my knees went weak.
I gulped, staring at the envelope's contents.
Inside were wads of cash, each secured by thick rubber bands. I rifled
through several packets: every bill was a hundred! There had to be
thousands of dollars in the envelope.
You could buy a pair in your size, the voice repeated. There's a shop on
Third Street called Transformation; they'll have shoes in your size, and
panties and lingerie, too, if you want them.
Transformation, right. I'd seen that shop before. I knew what it sold.
It was perfect. Of course, I might not need to buy a whole wardrobe of
various outfits, not if I was really shrinking down to a woman's size,
as I seemed to be. I might need some, though, for the time being. . . .
* * *
An hour later, I was off the bus and in the library, seated before a
microfiche machine. (I had to have the research librarian show me how to
use the damned thing; even then, it didn't seem real.) The article
concerning Tammy's death, which appeared in the local newspaper, was
accompanied by a photograph of her, which resembled those still on
display in the mansion. She was a slender, gorgeous brunette, with a
classically beautiful face and a figure that could have appeared
alongside any Playboy model's body--and put her rival to shame.
Who would kill a young woman like her? Her stalker, as it turns out,
who'd stabbed her to death on her patio, after harassing her for over
two years. She made the mistake that so many lovely ladies make: she was
beautiful at the wrong time, in the wrong place--when he was present at a
show she'd attended and he'd happened to see--and he'd become obsessed
with--her. He's now doing life without the possibility of parole in San
Quentin, after he'd executed her for daring to be both beautiful and
uninterested in him.
The article reported that her murder was actually her second death.
She'd died previously, a few years back, as a teen, when she'd fallen
off a mountain trail while dirt biking. She'd tumbled some sixty feet
down the side of the mountain, before breaking her tumbling fall on an
outcropping of granite and her neck, in the process. A helicopter had
airlifted her from the slope, evacuating her to the emergency room of
the nearest hospital where, soon after surgery, she'd flat-lined.
A near-death experience followed, wherein she saw a tunnel, a light, and
beings who, she believed, were angels, before hearing a voice she "knew"
was God's, asking her whether she wanted to stay or return. Reluctantly,
she opted to come back, not wanting her parents to grieve for her, and
she'd awakened in intensive care, doctors and nurses working frantically
to revive her. When she became the victim of a crazed stalker, she told
her parents that, if he killed her, she'd come back again, from the
dead, if she could. I felt weird wearing her thong panties.
* * *
I didn't really think I was getting smaller, although it sure seemed
like it, sometimes, when, wearing Tammy's panties, stockings, or some
other item of clothing around the house, I checked out my reflection. I
not only looked shorter, but my arms and legs were slenderer, and my
butt seemed fuller. Hell, it even looked as though I'd sprouted some
boobies of my own. Of course, the reflection in the mirror was likely
more the result of wishful thinking than of anything else. If
I wanted to wear silks and satins--and high heels--and I never had before,
but I did now, for some reason--I had no alternative but to buy them in
my own size. Of course, I couldn't have afforded anything had it not
been for the manilla envelope stuffed with cash I'd found on the clothes
hamper in one of Tammy's closets. With the thousands it contained, I
could buy anything I wanted, so, after the library, I took the bus
again, to Third Street, and bought myself the first items in my new
women's wardrobe.
That's when the latest in the series of bizarre incidents occurred. I
could hardly believe it then; I'm not sure I believe it now, but this is
what happened, whether it actually happened or not.
I found a pair of heels just like one of Tammy's pairs of stilettos, but
in my size. Then, of course, I had to have an outfit to go with it, so I
picked out several skirts and blouses, trying them on in the dressing
room. I thought I looked good in a couple of them, but I wasn't sure. I'
wasn't a woman, and I'd never cross dressed--at least, not before I'd
moved into Tammy's parents' house. I I was trying to decide whether I
should buy the clothes, and a woman's voice said to me, inside my head,
as if it's my own words, but in a feminine utterance--in Tammy's voice, I
think--"You look gorgeous in all of hem. Buy them all." So that's what I
did.
"Come back," the clerk told me, as I was leaving.
"Don't worry," I said. "I will."
She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
I wanted to wear one of my new outfits home, but I dared not. Inside,
when I dressed, I might feel feminine, but I could never pass as a
woman. I'd have to wait until I got home to model my new
things.
* * *
Max was still missing in action when I got home with my armload of
merchandise. He was in hiding, I supposed. The feminine voice in my
head--Tammy, I am almost sure--spoke my thoughts to me: "He'll come
around; give him time."
"Tammy," I asked, "is that you?"
No answer.
"Are you present?" I persisted. "Have you come back?"
I thought I'd seen her for a moment, transparent and wavering, near the
bedroom doorway, but she flickered again and vanished--if she'd ever been
there at all.
Maybe I just imagined seeing her.
This possibility frightened me, and I wasn't sure which scared me
worse--or which should have scared me worse--hallucinating or seeing an
actual ghost.
I tried once more, my voice faltering. "Tammy?"
Silence, except for the air conditioner.
Taking my new clothes to the closet, I hung the blouses and skirts and
slacks and positioned my new shoes alongside Tammy's. Mine looked huge,
compared to hers. I shook my head. The idea that I was shrinking was
just an illusion, obviously, born of wishful thinking. As much as I'd
like to be petite, I wasn't, and I never would be. At least I could look
good in women's clothes, I consoled myself, even if they were, in
comparison to Tammy's outfits, of gargantuan size.
I was tired. Three bus trips across town in one day is much more taxing
than one might suspect, and I hadn't learned to shop 'til I dropped. I
was a man, after all. Enjoying the feel of satin panties and leather
mini-skirts and silk blouses and buying a few items of apparel in a
cross dresser's boutique didn't might make me a transvestite, but it
hadn't--and couldn't--make me a true woman. I'd always be inferior in that
regard.
I thought about taking a long, hot shower --the soap and the steam and
the shampoo and the conditioner would do wonders for my mood as well as
for my skin and my hair--but I was just too exhausted, and I chose sleep
over cleanliness. Fortunately, Tammy's huge canopy bed was a guaranteed
ticket to slumber land and sweet dreams. I stumbled toward the curtain-
enclosed resting place, and stopped, shocked at the sight of the items
displayed upon the bedspread: a tube of lubricant, a strap-on dildo--it
was at least eight inches long and the most realistic-looking dong I'd
ever seen--and a picture of Tammy's latest boyfriend, Brad Burke, the one
she'd been dating when she was murdered.
Had I laid out these things before I'd gone out this afternoon?
No.
Then who had?
There were only two possibilities that I could think of. As far as I
knew, besides me, only Donna Adams, the real estate agent, or Tammy's
parents, my landlords, had keys that would unlock the mansion's doors.
Since I hadn't placed the articles on the bed, one of them had to have
done it.
Or Tammy, I thought.
Then, I laughed. Sure, a ghost did it, I told myself, and chuckled.
Could someone else have a key? Maybe Tammy had given one to Brad?
But, if she had, why would he--or, for that matter, why would Donna or
Tammy's parents--want to sneak into the house in my absence and set out a
tube of lube, a strap-on dildo, and a photograph of Tammy's beau? They
wouldn't.
It did;'t make sense, but there they were--lube, dildo, and
photograph--ready and waiting, if I were willing to use them.
What was I supposed to do, stick the eight-inch dildo up my ass, lust
after Brad, and pretend I was Tammy, being fucked in the butt by her
boyfriend?
No, thanks, I thought; I'll pass.
I looked at the picture of Brad. He was handsome, I had to admit. He had
dark hair, blue eyes, high cheekbones, a narrow nose, a strong jaw,
sensual lips, and an athlete's conditioned physique. I could see what
Tammy had seen in him, I thought.
Then, I thought something else, in the feminine voice I had associated
with Tammy: I miss him!
For a moment, Brad was present with me, in the huge bed, under the pink
canopies, inside the closed pink curtains, naked, his cock rigid and,
from the looks of it, every bit of eight thick, swollen inches. I was
also naked, my smaller prick hard against his belly as he lay down, atop
me, his muscular abdomen against my own, his groin in the cradle of my
hips, his thighs outside, and against, my own upper legs. He wriggled,
positioning himself, and I felt the tip of his stiff penis push against
my anus. My own prick throbbed, stiffening still more, and my balls rose
inside my tightening scrotum. My anus fluttered, and I--
"No!" I cried, horrified.
What the hell was I thinking? What was I imagining? What was wrong with
me?
I was no faggot, I told myself. I'd never thought of being with another
man the way a woman is with a man. I had no interest whatsoever in
members of my own sex, even those as handsome and virile as Brad looked
in Tammy's photograph of him.
I felt disgusted.
And ashamed.
And aroused.
No! I wasn't aroused, I told myself. There was no way I could be aroused
by thoughts like those that had passed through my head just now, alien
thoughts that seemed to me to have come from someone else's mind
--Tammy's mind?--not my own.
"Tammy?" I shouted. "Are you here? Answer me!"
As before when I'd asked this question, there was no answer.
I didn't expect that there would be.
I knew only one thing, whether ghosts existed or not, whether death was
the end or not, whether someone could return from beyond or not, Tammy
could forget about me using her dildo on myself; my sympathies for her
went only so far. Sweeping the items on the blankets aside, I climbed
into bed, for a much-needed nap. In a few minutes, I was asleep in
Tammy's cherry-red thongs, wearing the transparent teddy I'd bought at
Transformation as my nightgown.
* * *
I slept in until after 11:00 am. I must have been ever more tired than
I'd thought. It took me a minute to collect myself and to make sense of
the garbled garbage that passed itself off as consciousness. But I soon
realized I was naked. What had happened to the teddy I'd worn to bed? I
found it tossed onto the floor. The blankets were tossed back, and the
sheets were rumpled. The eight-inch dildo, smeared with lubricant,lay
beside me, and my asshole, wet with the lubricant, seemed to have been
reamed. Brad's photograph lay face down on my chest, between what--there
was no denying the truth of the matter--were clearly budding boobs.
Whether it was the high soy diet I'd begun a few months ago or the black
cohosh, fenugreek, fennel, dong quai, blessed thistle, dandelion, kelp,
saw palmetto, red clover, and wild yam that the clerk at Transformation
had recommended to enhance my bosom naturally, I'd definitely gained an
inch in my bust line. In addition, it seemed, as impossible as it may
sound, that I really had, in fact, become smaller; my arms and legs were
slenderer, my waits narrower, and my hands and feet more delicate. The
brittle white flakes on my tummy, though, which I recognized at once as
dried semen, left little doubt that I was still a fully functional
male--or, at least, that I still had fully functioning male parts. I felt
sexually satisfied--satiated, even--and Brad's picture suggested I'd
inserted the dildo into my own anus and fucked myself with it, all the
time fantasizing about being butt-fucked by Tammy's boyfriend--or maybe
by Tammy herself, while she was wearing the strap-on.
No, that was impossible, I told myself. Tammy didn't exist.
She was dead.
If I can, I'll come back, she'd promised.
But there was no way.
Maybe she did come back, somehow--as a ghost.
No, there were no such things as ghosts.
Then how could I have seen her?
Hallucinations.
I was going crazy, then?
Images of the night before, which, until now, I'd apparently repressed,
flared in my consciousness, memories of Brad straddling me, of his
thick, long, hard cock thrusting into me, impaling my buttocks and
probing deep within my rectum. He'd pounded me hard and fast, and I'd
grunted and groaned, feeling the pleasure of surrender, of violation, of
being nothing but an object, an orifice, designed to satisfy his need
and to give him pleasure, with no thought of me.
Now, as I remembered the dream or fantasy or hallucination, whatever it
was, from the night before, my cock was rock hard, thick, and long. My
balls were high inside my taut, tightly gathered scrotum. My anus seemed
to beat, as if it had a pulse.
Of course, Brad hadn't been with me; I'd fucked myself with the dildo
while fantasizing about him, as Tammy might have done, but the thought
that I'd done such a thing, while thinking of having sex with another
guy was revolting. I felt humiliated and ashamed--and frightened. I
wasn't gay, so why would I be turned on by the thought of making love to
another member of my own sex? But my asshole was wet with the lubricant
on the dildo, and my cock was rigid, and my thoughts had been filled
with images of Brad, naked and virile, with his erect penis up my
stuffed, crammed ass.
So, was I aroused or not?
Was I male or female?
Was I Rod or Tammy?
I was confused. On all these issues, I was confused.
* * *
My mind whirling with such emotions and confusion--doubtful as to my
sexuality and, indeed, my very identity, and feeling at once excitement,
shame, disgust, fear, and passion--I hastened, still naked, with my semen
dried upon my tummy, from the spacious canopy bed and into the bathroom,
wherein I showered beneath hot needles of steaming water, in attempt,
perhaps, not only to cleanse my flesh but also to wash away the doubts
and fears that plagued me--I had masturbated while fantasizing that I was
a woman being sodomized by her boyfriend--and I spent considerable time
cleansing--or attempting to cleanse--myself.
I had made up my mind to renounce feminine attire forever; after all, I
had been born a male and had lived as such for over two decades without
remorse. There was no reason that I should renounce masculinity at this
late date. True, the opposite sex's clothing felt much better, even if
it was more restrictive, tighter, and, in some instances, even binding,
but it was set aside for women to wear. I would return to the nude state
that I'd adopted, in the privacy of my own rooms, years ago. Being naked
wasn't quite as stimulating, perhaps, as wearing satin panties and silk
dresses, but it was, nevertheless, decidedly more comfortable than
remaining attired in men's clothing --and it allowed me to retain my
identity, sexually and otherwise, as a man.
After my shower, I applied deodorant and nothing else, stepping from the
bathroom reassured of my masculinity and glad to be, once again, myself.
Back at my computer desk, I noticed that, saved as my desktop background
image, was another lewd, full-color photograph of a sexy transvestite,
looking girlish and gorgeous in a pink taffeta tutu, the very picture of
feminine grace and beauty, despite his long, flaccid cock, which peeked
out below the hemline. I shook my head as I right-clicked my mouse; the
cursor poised above the "Properties" tab of the drop-down menu that had
opened upon my command. I had every intention of deleting the image,
but, at the last moment, having hesitated, I lost the will---and the
desire--to do so: the cross dresser was simply too lovely to dismiss in
so cavalier a manner. I would be only to happy, I decided, to let her--or
him--grace my desktop.
I had a lot of work to do on my latest report concerning desert
hydrology, and, I told myself, I had better get to it. However, as I
opened my file, the monitor turned dark for a moment, and I caught sight
of myself in the screen, as if I were looking into a dark mirror.
My eyes widened, and my mouth gaped.
Reflected in the dark monitor was my image, and it--that is, I--was
wearing clothing I'd bought at Transformation--women's clothing!
Actually, it was a white bustier! I remembered the description that had
been displayed next to it on the shelf: "cire-trimmed honeycomb metal
clasp front with ring criss-cross adjustable back and cire g-string.
Size Large 9/10." It had set me back $50, but it had been worth every
cent--or so I'd thought at the time I'd bought it, when cross dressing
had appealed to me and I'd even begun to imagine that, developing
breasts and shrinking to a smaller, feminine size, I was actually
transforming into a woman. The top was formfitting, sleeveless, and
strapless, with boning that shaped my abdomen and supports that uplifted
my breasts--or would have, had I'd had any to lift. I also wore dark
fishnet stockings, attached to the garter that was itself attached to
the bottom of the bustier, and black heels, the expanse of my thighs and
the bottoms of my buttocks on display.
I had no memory whatsoever of having donned the corset-like garment --a
memory lapse severe enough to be frightening--and I actually shook as I
realized I'd put the lingerie on without realizing it, as if I were
under the direction and control of a mesmerizing influence--or person--of
some kind.
Tammy? I wondered. Was she here, as a spirit or a ghost? Was she
controlling both my body and my mind? Maybe, when I'd masturbated last
night, fantasizing that the strap-on dildo I'd used on myself was
actually Brad's cock ramming itself back and forth inside my ass, Tammy
had been in charge; maybe she'd even take possession of me. Maybe, at
the time, she was me, and it was she who had made love to Brad, using my
body, causing me to ejaculate my seed upon my belly.
The idea was fantastic.
It was impossible!
I trembled, as I wondered whether it might also somehow be true.
Work was forgotten. I had something more pressing to do at the moment.
Connecting with the Internet, I searched for "transvestite."
I intended to learn all I could about the art of cross dressing,
including its psychological
implications.
I learned quite a bit, fairly quickly--the Internet has a wide, but not
very deep, reservoir of information. One thing I learned is that, from
the female's perspective, male cross dressing isn't complimentary; it's
actually kind of insulting, at least when it is forced upon a guy as a
form of punishment or discipline, the implication being that forcing a
man to dress as a woman is humiliating because the act demotes the
male's status. If dressing as a woman were considered an elevating act,
the guy would feel empowered and privileged, not embarrassed and
demoted. To me, this was a new and unexpected point of view; I had
regarded the female sex as superior to the male sex, although I'd
learned to be content, more or less, to be a male, playing the cards
that God, nature, fate, evolution, or what-have-you had dealt to me.
However, I could see, now, why women would feel offended if men see
forced feminization as demeaning to them rather than as elevating their
status. Such an attitude, on men's part, wasn't merely sexist; it was
also downright misogynistic. I felt ashamed, all right--of my own sex and
its patriarchal and chauvinistic attitudes toward women.
I also discovered that, although sex may be a given, assigned to us by
God, nature, fate, evolution, or what-have-you, gender is largely, if
not completely, a social construct, a nexus of culturally conditioned
and socially sanctioned ideas that may seem innate and fixed but, in
reality, is far from it. The supposed nature of boys and girls and of
men and women is not predetermined by testicles and ovaries and by
testosterone and estrogen, but by the values, attitudes, prejudices,
beliefs, emotions, and ideas that a particular culture and society
develop and agree to embrace concerning male and female identities and
behaviors. Therefore, gender is an invention, not a fact;
it is made up, not assigned; it is a conspiracy, of sorts, not an
essential element of one's identity.
In reality, we are individuals, free to accept whatever "masculine" or
"feminine" attributes we choose to adopt and to reject any that we do
not wish to embrace. I could be a man and wear satin panties, silk
blouses, and leather mini-skirts if I wanted; I could be masculine in
makeup and carefully styled hair if I chose to be; I wouldn't be any
less a man if I carried a purse and wore jewelry or even had sex with
another guy. In fact, many psychologists believe that everyone is
psychologically androgynous, having traits that society has designated
as either masculine or feminine. Society's designation of traits as
masculine or feminine is fallacious, an either-or fallacy, because
everyone, male and female alike, is both masculine and feminine at the
same time, women having a masculine component to their personalities,
the animus, and men a feminine aspect to their psychological makeup, the
anima. Psychologically, we are all bisexual.
I felt as if, in perusing these topics, I'd had a revelation. The
masculine-feminine categories of sexual identity I'd lived by all my
life, thinking them as predetermined and fixed as the sun, the moon, and
the stars, were, I realized now, simply social constructs, fictions that
were approved and sanctioned by society and transmitted, from generation
to generation, but fictions, nonetheless, and, as such, they were myths
that I need not abide by; I had the freedom to be myself, even if my
identity wasn't what it was "supposed" to be, even if I was and wanted
to be both masculine and feminine at the same time, acting and thinking
and feeling as both sexes, rather than repressing half of my human
potential. Why should I be less, I thought, when I could be more? It was
wrong, I thought, to be half the man--and woman--I could---and should--be. I
felt liberated. I felt free. I was exhilarated.
I rose from my chair, grinning. I raised my hands high over my head,
stretching my back and legs. It seemed that my breasts had grown another
inch; the nipples were sore, feeling as if they had gathered themselves
into hard points, and I felt a buoyancy in my chest that had never been
there before. The bustier seemed fuller in front than it had even a few
minutes ago, and my arms, waist, and legs were slenderer, my hips wider,
and my fanny fuller. I felt petite and sleek, soft and curvaceous, sexy
and feminine. In the windows behind my computer desk, the curtains of
which were parted, I saw, in the glass panes, the reflection of an
altogether beautiful young brunette, and I knew, from the photographs
I'd seen around the house and the one that had appeared in the newspaper
article concerning her murder, that the figure reflected in the window
was Tammy herself, in the flesh! She was here, now, and she was naked.
She was ravishing, with long, wavy black hair; wide fawn's eyes with
thick, dark lashes; a thin, petite nose; full, sensuous lips; high
cheekbones; a delicate, pointed chin; high, full, round breasts; a
concave tummy; flaring hips; shaved pubic mound, in which pouted the
dimple of her sex; and long shapely legs. The sight of her, naked and
beautiful, brought me instantly erect, as did the fact that the
reflection overlay my own, so that we seemed, in the windowpanes, to
merge, my masculinity uniting with her femininity and her femininity
mixing with my masculinity so that we became an androgynous hybrid, a
combination of the best of both genders.
However, as I stared, longingly, at this image of perfection, Tammy
slowly began to fade, seeming to evaporate before my eyes, as if the
naked female figure that had been so clearly and obviously flesh just a
moment before now became transparent, then indistinct, and finally
vanished altogether, as if she had been nothing more than a ghost--or an
hallucination. Perhaps I had thought about her, longed for her, desired
her for so long now that I'd imagined her to be real; my desire for her
presence had rendered her real--in my imagination, at least. Were she
truly real, she would not have faded away.
Disappointed more than I could say, I returned to work, losing myself in
writing about the dull world of desert hydrology. Nine and a half hours
of studying pictures of desert cacti, wildflowers, sage, tumbleweeds,
and sand and of writing about infiltration, percolation, evaporation,
and transpiration; the spatial and temporal variability of
precipitation; runoffs, channels, and basins; fluvial processes,
sediment transport and yields, channel morphology, and groundwater
trapping--well, you get the idea, I'm sure: all thoughts of transvestism,
gender construction, psychological androgyny, animas and animi, and even
Tammy herself were long gone from my thoughts. There was a benefit,
though, to all this effort: I'd completed my work on the project ahead
of schedule (despite my procrastinations) and, as a result, I had a week
off before my next technical writing assignment!
I went to Tammy's bathroom vanity, to reward myself for finishing my
work on the desert hydrology project ahead of schedule, despite my
initial procrastinations, and, on the way, I caught a glimpse of myself
in the full-length mirror. My reflection took my breath away: it was
beautiful, which meant--and I hope I sound truthful, rather than
arrogant--that I was beautiful. After all, it was my body that cast the
reflection.
Or was it?
I was shorter and slimmer. My bone structure was smaller and more
graceful. I was curvier and softer. I was sleeker and lovelier. My hands
and feet were delicate/ I had--don't ask me how--developed breasts. My
hips had a bit of flare to them, and my buttocks were fuller. My legs
were as shapely as any model's. In a word, I was more feminine than I
was masculine. I told myself that such a transformation wasn't possible,
but the mirror didn't lie.
I not only looked like Tammy; it was as if I were she, as if I'd become
she.
I shook my head, and the beautiful young woman in the mirror did
likewise. I smiled, and she smiled. I winked at her; she winked back at
me.
I sat at the vanity, opened tubes and tins and bottles, used brushes and
pencils and powders and colors and polishes, applying eyeshadow primer,
eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow pencil, concealer, foundation,
face powder, blush, bronzer, lip liner, lipstick, and lip gloss--and I
did it all intuitively, with a skill that was as flawless and as
practiced as if I'd put on makeup a thousand times, both surprising and
delighting myself. Then, I dressed, donning rich, wine-colored clothes:
a burgundy bra-and-panties set, a Bordeaux blouse--silk, of course--a
pleated Chianti mini-skirt, and oxford boots. Again, the selection of
the clothing and the total look that it created came to me as naturally
as breathing, and I surprised myself by how effortlessly and well I
walked in the boots' four-inch heels, considering that I'd never worn
heels more than maybe an inch high before in my life. I was becoming a
woman in more ways than one, I thought, and just as easily. Only
yesterday, all these tasks would have been impossible; today, I
accomplished them without effort and with grace and aplomb.
I thought about taking a cab to a nightclub, just to see whether I could
pass as a woman--I was all but certain that I could. I looked like a
million dollars in Tammy's clothes--the ones I'd bought at Transformation
just yesterday were already too big for me--and, thanks to the money in
the manilla envelope, I had plenty of cash for drinks and the cover
charge--which, as a lady, I wouldn't have to pay, anyway--but I decided to
get some rest instead. Sleep may not be glamorous, compared to clubbing,
but it's a necessary evil, and I felt exhausted. Maybe it was the
shopping, the sex I'd had with myself last night, working at a new job,
the long work session I'd put in today, the growing pains associated
with my body's feminization of itself, or the stress of having to adjust
to new surroundings, even if they were as luxurious as Tammy's parents'
mansion; maybe it was all of these things. Whatever the cause, I felt
more than tired, and I decided to undress and turn in early.
I hated to remove the makeup and the clothes I'd just spent an hour
putting on, but I did; within a minute or two of climbing, naked, into
bed, I was sound asleep, and I slept all night, a deep and dreamless
sleep such as I hadn't slept in weeks.
* * *
In the morning, someone had left me a gift.
Tammy's photograph was next to me, in bed.
There was a card, too: "Help me to be here for both of us," it read. It
was signed, "Love, Tammy."
A shiver ran along my spine, and the trembling had nothing to do with
the fact that I was naked.
It had to do with the fact that Tammy was dead.
She was dead and buried, yet, if I were to believe this card, she had
left me a note: "Help me to be here for both of us. Love, Tammy."
Normally, the card and the photograph's being next to me in bed as I
awakened would have creeped me out way more than it did now, but,
considering the odd--no, the impossible--incidents that had transpired
since my having moved into this place--the discovery of Tammy's thongs
where they hadn't been before; a mysterious manilla envelope stuffed
with cash; a woman's voice speaking my own thoughts; objects appearing
in my bed of their own accord; my having sex with myself without knowing
I'd done so; my ability to dress, apply makeup and walk in high heels
perfectly, without any previous practice; my actually growing breasts
and shrinking to a petite size; and now the appearance of Tammy's
photograph and card in bed next to me--so many things had happened that
defied rational explanation that I was much less disturbed than I would
otherwise have been, and I even called out to Tammy or her ghost or
whatever she was, asking, "What is it that you want me to do?"
In my mind, Tammy spoke to me, "Want me," she pleaded, "more than you
want yourself." It was her voice, but the thoughts were my own.
As before, Tammy appeared, taking on corporeal form. She was naked, and
she looked gorgeous. Again, her voice spoke the words of my thoughts:
"Want me more than you want yourself."
"I do want you," I assured her.
"More than yourself."
"I do."
Tammy smiled at me, reached for me. Her fingers, long, slender, with
polished, pink nails were but inches from my own when she began to fade.
"Want me," she pleaded, flickering, "want me . . . ."
She was gone. Only the scent of her perfume remained.
* * *
By morning, either I'd gone crazy or I'd undergone even more of a
transformation from a man into a woman. My boobs had grown--overnight.
They'd become as large as those of a high school girl's breasts. My
hips and buttocks had become curvier, too, and I'd become more petite
than ever, with a woman's arms, legs, and waist. My tummy had become
concave, and my hair had grown long and wavy. I couldn't believe the
change; the only remaining signs of my vanishing manhood were my cock
and balls. They hadn't shrunken; if anything, they might even have been
a bit bigger than they used to be. Except for my male genitals, though,
I could have been a dead ringer for Tammy!
But I didn't want to lose my male identity--at least, not entirely, not
yet--and I made a point to do the things I'd normally do on a day off,
read, surf the 'net, watch TV, eat, but I couldn't stop admiring my new
body. My tits were awesome. My butt was delightful. My feminine curves
were beautiful. I cupped my breasts, slid the palms of my girly hands
down the sides of my hips, squeezed my ass cheeks, caressed my thighs,
hugged myself, kissed the lips reflected in the full-length mirror in
the master bathroom, spent an hour trying on different outfits. All of
Tammy's clothes, even her shoes, now fit me, so I knew my transformation
couldn't be imaginary; it had to be real.
I ran into Max on my way to the den, and he screeched at me, before
darting under a couch. I giggled, thinking he probably didn't recognize
me, but I was glad to see he was all right. He must be sneaking food and
water. It saddened me to see his anxiety, though.
Give him time, Tammy's voice spoke my thoughts.
"I will," I replied aloud, certain she could hear me, even if I couldn't
see her.
I wished she'd return. I wished she could be more than a ghost. I'd like
to spend my life with her.
Want me, her voice seemed to speak to me, more than you want yourself.
"I do," I said.
Not yet, she seemed to answer, but you may soon.
In the den, I found a videocassette tape in the VCR, left there, I
suspected, by Tammy, for me to
find. Well, I thought, if she wanted me to watch something, I was game.
I inserted the tape fully into the machine and pressed the Start button.
Arming myself with the remote control, I sprawled on the sectional
sofa--immediately, my eyes widened and my mouth gaped. The tape hadn't
been fully rewound, so it started in medias res, in the middle of the
action--and what action it was!
Tammy climbed into her canopy bed, positioning herself upon her elbows
and knees, smiling at the camera over her shoulder as Brad came into the
picture, joining her. He knelt behind her, between her parted legs. The
view of her ass was magnificent. The curves of her rump, coming together
as they bowed inward, joining at the base of her spine, formed the top
of a perfect Valentine's heart, the imaginary point of which would end
somewhere inside her, perhaps in the depths of her bowels. The cheeks,
even as I viewed them, from above, were full, but without an ounce of
extra fat, firm and tight, yet sleek and cushiony.
From my vantage point, I couldn't see the wrinkled dimple of her
derriere's secret portal, but I knew her anus awaited within the deep
cleavage of her arched buttocks, and I knew that, at any moment, Brad
would penetrate the tight ring of muscle and insert his manhood as
deeply as possible into her rectum, until his balls were all that
remained outside her smooth, creamy ass.
Brad applied anal lube from the tube Tammy kept in the drawer of the
bedside table, preparing both his prick and Tammy's asshole for the fun
to come. Then, the mattress dipped and swayed as, on his knees, Brad
"walked" the few inches forward that separated him from Tammy, and
holding his cock in his fist, he guided the stiff, swollen member
between the inward-curving cheeks of her ivory-smooth, satin-soft
buttocks. The camera angle changed, offering me a different view of the
action, and I wondered whether Tammy and Brad had hired a cameraman to
film their antics. He jabbed at her anus, but her stout sphincter
resisted his attempted trespass, and Brad's prick slid forward and up,
alongside the cleavage between her ass cheeks. My own cock, as I watched
the TV screen, was rigid, and my balls ached.
However, I found, as I continued to watch the video, I wasn't
identifying with Brad, but with Tammy. As he shoved his cock through her
anus, it was as if he were invading my own asshole. As he pressed his
hips forward, it was as if he were sending his massive manhood not into
Tammy's silken ass, but deep into my own rectum. My cock stiffened
further as my balls rose still higher inside my tightening scrotum.
Brad drew his hips back, and, holding his rigid column of flesh firmly
in hand, pressed it forward, against my--Tammy's--tiny, puckered anus, and
her--my--sphincter succumbed to his force, opening to admit the conquering
cock that slid forward, through the tight ring of muscle and deep into
the interior of my (and Tammy's) penetrated ass. Brad continued to force
his manhood through the little orifice until its full, swollen length
filled Tammy's (my) ass and he was buried inside our rectum to his very
balls, the cheeks of our ass flat beneath his grinding pubes.
Impaled, I uttered a tiny cry, but Tammy pressed her penetrated ass
back, firmly, against his groin, signaling my willingness to be so
pierced and stuffed. Our acceptance of our fate--my surrender of the
sovereignty of my person to Brad--was a welcome, and fiercely erotic,
acknowledgment. He jabbed his hips back and forth in quick, short
thrusts to acknowledge Tammy's acknowledgment of our surrender. We'd
given him rightful claim to the treasury of our bowels, and he meant to
mine the mother lode for all it was worth.
He saw our face. Tammy had rested it upon the back of a hand, and our
eyes were closed, my brow knitted, and my upper teeth bit lightly at
Tammy's folded lower lip. We remained motionless now, awaiting our fate.
A sense of power seemed to fill Brad, as he felt our anus, round, about
his member. He had the power to pound me beneath him, to rock my frame,
and to fill and refill Tammy's ass with his thick, hard penis. Tammy
opened our eyes. Her lips parted. What was she about to say? I wondered.
Was she going to confess her love to Brad? Ask him to be gentle with us?
Ask him if he loved us? "While you're fucking me," Tammy and I declared,
our voice husky, "I am your whore."
Our words inflamed him. His hips jerked back, of their own accord, by
pure reflex, and he drove his enormous cock forward in a single motion,
fast and fluid, filling our ass with its thick, long length, and making
me gasp a second time, as Tammy's eyes closed tightly and
