This is something of an experiment in trying to write a supernatural
story, hope you enjoy it.
Meddling Goddess.
by
Trish.
Having slipped away from the playful family entourage the entity know as
the Goddess was bored and looking for mortal entertainment. She liked
watching them, and although it was much harder now that machines also
inhabited the material plain when the opportunity presented itself the
Goddess still enjoyed meddling subtlety in their short lives. Sometimes
She wished things were like the 'old days' because acting upon the
material plain was becoming more and more unpleasant. The presence of all
the machines talking through the air felt quite nauseating and it left a
horrid taste in Her mouth!
In one respect it was upsetting to know that the mortals were leaving the
old ways behind and maturing as a species, but for all the Goddess knew
such growth was part of the great wheel of life She still felt a
impending sense of loss knowing that one day in the not so distant
future, technology would isolate the material plain of this world's from
Her kind...
Before the mortals grew up and started to master technology meddling in
the physical world was so easy. When one of the family took an interest
in a mortal and if they felt like it, they would turn up bestow a couple
of blessings enjoy the party and leave again. Having watched and guided
humanity since She was created by the joining of two ancient ones two
millennium past the Goddess like her siblings had her favourites...
Family's she had watched and nurtured though the centuries and from the
descendent of one them came a cry of loss into the dark. The deliciously
human taste of the emotion attracted the Goddess's attention... and the
Goddess took note.
David could not pin down what was troubling him. He knew something felt
wrong but he could not tell what... and eventually came to the conclusion
that the cause of his sense of foreboding was his imminent departure to
university. Ever since the sixth form leavers ball at school, his nights
had been plagued with wet erotic dreams... Obviously that was not unusual
for an eighteen year old, but what was unusual was the subject of his
dreams... his close but strictly platonic friend Mary Peters.
They met at primary school, where the strict boy-girl in register order
seating pattern at each desk, meant David was sat next to her. Even
though boys and girls at that age do not usually get to be friends
especially when the girl was the butt of most of the classes teasing,
being sat beside her for five years began a sort of friendship that
developed and deepend as they aged. It was a strange twist of fate that
brought them together as friends. David the class brain box who even at
primary school was recognised as being destined for university and
success, while Mary was the class misfit, the clumsy girl being raised
almost like a boy by her grandfather on his small holding.
Even though they were in completely different classes when they went up
to the secondary school, and moved in very different circles of friends,
they remained tight friends. David being obsessed with computers, heavy
rock and science fiction gravitated to the nerds of the computer club
and Mary who had always been a little strange took to wearing a lot of
black... having fallen in with the weird Goth types who lingered on the
edges of school society. Considering she had been the primary school
mockery donkey Mary changed rapidly at puberty and developed into a very
attractive if peculiar girl. Sharp tongued with withering line of put
downs, she had some very strange views and idea's... idea's that
sometimes scared the hell out of David.
Although much to Mary's disgust they never became an 'official' couple,
it was no secret that they were close and neither made any attempt to
hide their friendship. Even at primary school when everyone in the world
hated her, David's smiling beacon of friendship had been there for her...
Now David was going away and Mary felt adrift. For years she had secretly
dreamed of being with him, and when school ended with a big leavers ball
Mary had to act. She knew it might be the last time she ever saw him and
did not give David any choice when she told him, that he was her date for
the night! She had see the looks of interest from some of the girls in
his top stream class, and Mary had no intention of having one of them
snatch him from under her nose!
The night was everything and more than she had ever dreamed. They danced,
laughed, and even shared chaste kisses! "Why?" Mary cried out wishing
that this perfect night did not have to be the last time...
The Goddess hearing the one called Mary's cry saw them, and knew them.
Listening with more than ears the Goddess took note of her lamenting cry
and tasted their essences... Pleased with their flavours, the Goddess
considered them and signalled her approval, before blessing the girl with
Her image.
A small carved marble figure of a robed goddess formed on Mary's bedside,
and should anyone one have asked Mary where it came from she would have
sworn that had always sat beside her bed.
It was David's first morning at university. With him being in an
unfamiliar room, in a strange house he not slept well. The night sounds
so different to home, the rattles and creaks of the house combined with
his anxieties about starting his university life meant he was feeling
washed out as he was sleepily cleaned his teeth and noticed that
shockingly that his dark hazel eyes had turned green in the night!
Flabbergasted he tried to work out how such a thing could happen... but
eventually gave up when one of the new house mates he had briefly met the
evening before banged on the door. Striking up a conversation a few
minutes later in the kitchen David discovered his house mate's were
computer students, Nancy and Kev, Phil studying history and a second year
geologist called Dave.
With feeling out his house mates and the chaos of registration at the
university David pretty much forgot about his eyes as he jumped into the
maelstrom of student life...
Although he was being constantly bombarded by new idea's, lifestyles and
attitudes both socially and academically while living in a world
populated with lots of young available women David found it hard to
settle in to the university groove. It was not the work, he was loving
that, neither was it the world around his course because Newcastle was a
fantastic place to be a student, but he still felt something was wrong.
For one thing he was still plagued by nights filled with erotic dreams
and yet none of the smashing looking girls he met at the union bars and
in town clubs interested him. The moment he started chatting to a girl he
would start to compare them to the Mary who lived in his ever more vivid
erotic dreams, and the girls he met paled in comparison. Unless
intoxicants interfered, every night this Mary would invade his dreams,
enacting every sexual activity imaginable... Even during the day when he
was living his normal life if he closed his eyes sometimes he could see
her dark hazel eyes looking at him from the depths of his mind....
It was always with the same expression... The one on her face, as she
looked down on him after sex... Her hair still wild around her head, her
full breasts swaying as she gazed down at him with that sated look as she
calmed down from taking her pleasure from him... Although he knew that
such things had never happened between Mary and himself, and could not be
real... they felt very real. As the term progressed David thought he
noticed another change happening, only this one did not happen over night
as all his body hair began to change. First his head hair started to
lighten in colour and thicken in a gradual way that mirrored the later
thinning of his body and facial hair. No one around him noticed the
alteration and as with his eyes David was soon distracted by the strange
university bubble he lived in to take note of his ever so slowly changing
hair colour.
Having hitched a lift home off Kev, David was expecting some comment
about his eyes when he went home for Christmas and was surprised when
nothing was said. Other than his dad saying as he got home, "Your looking
well kiddo, university must agree with you," no further comment was
passed about his appearance. In one respect David could understand his
dad being distracted. He was so completely wrapped up with Christine his
new girlfriend David was not really that surprised that he did not notice
such a subtle change in his son's appearance.
One one level David approved of Christine and was pleased for his dad. It
was good to see his dad smiling again after his mum finally lost her long
battle with cancer two years before. The downside was the idea of another
woman taking over his fathers affections and replacing his mum. He
wished he could talk to someone about it, but Nancy his main personal
problem sounding board was in the Canary Islands and trying to talk to
his 'old' mates about it would have been a waste of time.
By the time David had been home for a couple of hours he had pretty much
forgotten about his eyes, and when no one commented after he met up with
the 'lads' for a few beers later that evening he did not wonder why. It
was good to see the 'lads' and David enjoyed more than a few good if
boozy nights of male bonding with his former school mates before
Christmas.
Things had changed though, or rather David had, his life was now very
different to theirs it showed. It was not just his mellowing accent but
also in how he presented himself and his choice of language had
noticeably altered as his diction started to show that 'University'
marker. He was also willing and able to talk politics and one of two
things he came out with had his mates howling with laugher as they took
the piss about how he had turned into a 'student!'
Looking down upon the material plain, the Goddess saw it was Yule and on
a whim slipped away from the family entourage... Recalling the delightful
flavour of the one called Mary, the Goddess viewed her, expecting that in
the joy the mortals took from the Yuletide celebrations, her delicious
essence would fizz with the light sweetness of pleasures to come...
The Goddess was puzzled for instead of sweetness, the mortals essence was
tainted by the acidic bitterness of melancholic yearnings and unfulfilled
desire. The Goddess was unhappy and wished to correct the flavour,
delving into the one called Mary's mind, she discerned the taint was
caused by the mortals yearning for the one called David. Finding the
mortal man, the Goddess sampled his essence and found it lacking. The
Goddess considered this, and foresaw that if she should combine the one
named David with the one named Mary's, and she made it bloom, then their
joint essence might hold the promise of great bounty.
The Goddess wished it to bloom and blessed Her 'pets' with the Yuletide
gift of companionship.
Since his mum died, Christmas just was not the same. Some of it was fun,
like cooking the dinner with his dad but with just the two of them in
many ways it was a day they would rather have avoided. With it being
Christmas Day night he knew his mates would all be tied up with family,
and as his dad was going to spend the evening, and probably the night at
Christine's, David was left hanging at something of a loose end.
Since his dad had wanted to get off, David offered to clean up after
their Christmas dinner. It passed the time and after everything was tidy
David was about to get his laptop and go online when out of the blue he
decided to take a walk. There was not reason for it, but at that moment
to David it seemed like a good idea. Not having any idea where he was
going he found himself walking the long way towards his old primary
school.
After an indulgent Christmas dinner being out in the cold brisk air felt
good and the walk helped settle all the food down. Winding his way along
the streets feeling the occasional first flurrys of the forcasted snow on
the breeze David let his mind wander. Thoughts of university, his mum,
his hopes and fears about his dad and Christine all just tumbled round
his mind. Lost in his thoughts David was almost oblivious to the world
around him as he walked and then he was aware that he was no longer
alone. Accompanied by the clicking of heels on pavement a figure in a
long black cloak type coat appeared beside him as if by magic, saying,
"Merry Christmas David."
David knew instantly that the person with the collie dog beside her was
Mary and blushed. Being in the presence of the subject of his dreams for
the last five months made David splutter. "Merry Christmas Mary," feeling
like his tongue was turning to lead.
Mary smiled, hoping she did not sound breathless as she fell into step
beside him and said, "Well what's it like good, bad, are you enjoying
university, is it fun?" Instead of the calm relaxed tone she imagined in
her head her words tumbled out.
"Mostly," he managed to say.
"Mostly? That's a side step not an answer!" Mary's honking laugh was
unchanged and hearing it relaxed David enough to add.
"Yeah mostly. Unless you've been in one, you can't understand that being
at University is mad... Its like your in this completely surreal little
world where every eccentricity is free to run wild. You could spend every
evening at cheep booze fuelled parties, or clubbing in town. Then you
have the students union who have clubs and societies for every thing from
train spotting to pole dancing!" David shook his head. "Then there's the
other side. The academic side and you have got to keep up and that's
hard. Most of the lectures will refer to a theory or an author and expect
you to already know who they are talking about so you need to do a lot of
reading to be ready for some lectures."
In the darkness beside him Mary smiled as she felt the ever present ember
of friendship between them catch fire as David warmed to his subject and
started to speak freely about university life.
"Any way so there I was on my first morning looking at this heaving mass
of people, which contained my registration queue."
David had forgotten how easy it was to talk to Mary and soon fell in to
an easy conversation. Enjoying each others company they were chatting
companionably long before they approached the lane up to her house by
which time he was saying. "And dad's gone to be with Chrissie, so I came
for a walk. When did you get a dog by the way?"
"Spanner's not mine," Mary said patting the dog. "She belongs to Jean, a
girl from work whose parents won't have a dog in the house so I've
usually taken Spanner when she has to go to her parents."
Also petting the dog, David said, "I've always rather fancied having a
dog or a cat."
"Get a cat, you can leave them home alone for a couple of nights if you
need to be away." Mary half laughed. "So what you doing tonight David?"
"Go online I guess," he said, pulling a face. "That or may be walk down
the bunch of grapes since there's bugger all on the telly."
"Well if you fancy it... There's a bottle or two of wine at my place? I'm
home alone as well and would not say no the company."
David felt his heart jump and he said, "That would be really be nice,
otherwise I'd just be online with all the other lonely souls spending
Christmas in Second Life or some other online RPG."
"What's an RPG?" Mary asked.
"Roll playing game. Like World of Warcraft, or Call of Duty, computer
games you play online with other people all round the world."
"Oh... Never fancied the idea of them myself," Mary said. "Come on let's
go find a drink its going to get cold out here!"
Enjoying Mary's company and ignoring the telly, as they talked David felt
genuinely happy. He was chattering about being a college, until Mary
would tell him about working for the council which would start them
reminiscing. Sooner or later one of them would comment something related
to what they had been saying about work or university starting the whole
cycle again. In the end David had a very pleasant end to Christmas day
drinking red wine shandy of all things.
There was something comforting and strangely wrongfully right about the
sensation of being curled under Mary's arm, as he sunggled up beside her.
Mary had not changed, she still wore black and tended towards a gothic
look with her shown off corseted waist and full black skirts but her
personality seemed warmer. It somehow made her feel less intimidating
when she went off on one of her rants about the unfairness of the world!
She still came out with some of the strangest ideas but where they had
once scared him, David enjoyed fencing with her about them, even if nine
times out of ten she came out figuratively on top!
"You should be at university Mary," David commented shaking his head
after she made a sweeping comment about 'men!' "You'd love it."
"Until I've got granddads will and probate paperwork done, and back from
my solicitor I've not got the time to think about it." She looked fondly
round the homely front room. "This place has been in my family's hands
for four generations including me and I don't want to be the one to sell
it."
"Lease it off for say five years, go do a degree in a subject that will
get you a well paid job back here then come back," David said determined
to convince her to apply for university.
Mary was not deliberately playing hard to get, she wanted to go to
university but there was also something delightful about having him try
so hard to convince her. Unlike David who had wanted to go to university
since his early teens Mary never developed the interest in working hard
enough to make the grade until it occurred to her that if they were at
the same university it would be much easier to 'hook' David! Many years
before Mary had hung her cap on him, and now she could see and hear how
quickly his life was taking him from her, she knew she better make a real
claim on him and soon, but she cautioned herself not quite yet.
Having found out when David was back by deliberately bumping into his
dad, Mary had been desperately hoping to spend sometime with him and
having him curled up beside her on Christmas Day was like a Christmas
present. Aware of the many years worth of carnal thoughts and intentions
she had in mind for David if she ever got the opportunity when she
recognised him walking towards the school she saw her chance. It was
Christmas Day evening and David was walking the streets alone Mary knew
she had the perfect opportunity to bring him back into her life and may
be explore some her carnal desires... or it was until they started
talking.
After an initial tongue tied moment David responded very positively to
her presence and she had to firmly tell herself to calm down as her
questions about university life tumbled out. Really enjoying hearing him
talk about his student adventure as she guided them along the half mile
path that led back to her house.
Oddly David did not seem to notice that her eyes were now hazel, or that
she had grown over an inch taller. Neither did he see that her hair was
the darkening from her natural auburn blonde hair. Although his ignorance
of the changes was puzzling Mary pushed it from her mind as he sat curled
contently under her arm enjoying his presence. Everything felt right and
Mary could tell David thought the same. He willingly responded when she
tentatively kissed him after topping up their glasses saying. "Merry
Christmas."
Feeling only a faint flicker of disappointment hours later when David
started yawning and decided it was time for bed. She so wanted him to
stay but somehow knew that good things would come to those who wait! Her
disappointment at him going home did not last long, because the long
lingering last passionate kiss he gave her on the doorstep filled her
with a warm glow of pleasure. Closing the door sighing with delight Mary
felt strangely content about not getting laid like she had hoped!
She knew had got something even better, because David had promised to go
with her on a Boxing Day sales spree to find the right outfit for their
new year date! Although David might have gone home in person, he was
still very present in her mind... looking up at her as she held him by
his wrists on the bed with that just fucked expression on his face and
his pretty green eyes twinkling with a lewd yearning need, begging her
for more...
The Goddess smiled enjoying their mutual desire and was tempted to meddle
once more.
Next morning when David arrived at Mary's he noticed the dilapidated
condition of the small holder cottage as he walked up to the door.
Commenting as she let him in, "House could do with a lick of paint and
some TLC Mary."
"Yeah I know," she said closing the door. "Granddad let it slip when he
was sick and I've not got the money to do the work until the probate is
finalised. You know he died just after you went to university?"
"I didn't, I knew he was not well, but... I'm sorry Mary," David said,
"He was always a lovely man."
"Aye, he was," she said sadly before brightening up. "So where do you
fancy for new year?"
"Well until I bumped into you last night I was planning on going back to
college to see New Year in at Sandal's in the town... So you pick, I
don't know anywhere round here with a guaranteed party?"
"Will it be that good up there?" Mary asked.
"Should be its the hot ticket in student circles," David laughed. "I,
well we, my quiz team won a pair each in the union quiz league."
"Well if it's that good. I can drive and have a car, you've got the
tickets. Spanner goes back to Jean's on the 28th so how about I drive you
back up to university on the 30th come to the party and drive home on the
second. I'm not back at work until the 3rd?"
"Sure, I doubt my dad would mind, hell given how he's mooning over
Christine he'll probably be glad not to have to run me back!"
"We'll do that then!" Mary decided. "What's the dress code?"
"Dress code, it's Newcastle..."
"Oh short skirt and heels then," Mary said pouting. "I suppose I could do
that, so very boring though."
"Sorry." David half blushed and laughed.
The Goddess delighted in the twin visions of erotic pleasure these
mortals broadcast to her. The blend had a nice flavour but it needed
seasoning and some rebalancing to make the mixture really zing!
Although the Goddess did not understand the ritual 'her' mortals were
performing she found problem with how the one named Mary's behaviour was
at odds with her station. The Goddess was confused surely the one called
Mary should be feeling completeness not distress as she contemplated how
to decorate herself for her mate.
In the past spending any time shopping with out knowing what he wanted,
and what shop to buy it, was David's idea of purgatory, how ever that was
not the truth when he was with Mary. Keeping him firmly attached to her
arm she led him round what felt like every clothing shop in town before
she eventually found a dress she liked. Although short and low cut Mary
knew that if she accessorised it with her black corset in place of the
belt and a few other touches it would have that 'gothic' edge she liked
and for once she did not mind that her outfit would tend more to the
Barbie Goth image than her usual look. Selecting shoes took almost as
long, and by the time Mary was satisfied David wanted something to eat
and a cup of tea, beer would do but tea would have been his choice. It
was not his choice and as Mary had her thoughts set on a bar meal in the
pub on the way back to her house.
"That was frustrating fun," Mary said as they walked back to home
hampered by shopping and the two bottles of wine they picked up from the
shop. Since it was the local shop Mary somewhat proudly showed off
David's hand in hers to the witches behind the counter. Amused at the
gossip the witches would be making as she paid for the wine she wondered
if David realised that by morning everyone would know that 'Young' David,
Nigel Shore's boy, the one at university, was walking out with Mary
Peters, she could almost hear them now. "He spent the night with her he
did, and with two bottles of wine."
David was half way back when he suddenly giggled. "Did you see their
faces when they saw we were holding hands!"
It was a typical David comment, but neither of them noticed that his
unselfconscious giggle was not.
"Fun wasn't it?" Mary chuckled. "I was just thinking about that myself.
There all going to be saying we've coupled up?"
"Let them." David laughed. "They'll have forgotten soon enough." He could
not help pulling his face as he added. "Once I'm back at Uni and you are
here."
"We'll see?" Mary hedged, now she had 'publicly' staked a claim on David
she had no intention of ever letting him go.
Even though she felt horny as hell, something in her would not let just
take David to bed! She had ample opportunities as they spent most of the
next few days together but even though they were starting to feel like a
couple she never took them. The closest they came to getting seriously
intimate was the night David's his father arrived home with Christine and
caught them necking on the sofa.
Having been David's desk mate for years and seeing her on and off since
her early childhood David's dad knew Mary, and introduced her to
Christine as David's long time girlfriend, which gave her a thrill of
deep pleasure. David's dad responded positively to their idea about Mary
driving him back since she was going to his university new year party. He
was more than happy to relinquish the task of driving him back and even
sweetened the deal with a hundred and fifty pounds for petrol and the
night out!
Driving up to the North East was a three hour journey, and Mary felt a
mixture of anticipation at seeing David's new home, and apprehension
about meeting his student friends. She knew from David's more eloquent
language and improved diction that his friends must be very bright, and
Mary was worried about sounding thick to them. Then there was all the
pressure of being a girl, which she hated. Like all her age she had seen
the telly shows like 'Geordie shore' and 'finishing school' and knew that
where she was going appearance was everything and had to dress
accordingly. Even though she loathed the thought of it Mary accepted that
to hold her claim on David, she needed to show her trim body off in
something small and formfitting.
In her mind Mary built meeting his friends into an intimidating baptism
of fire, and she felt quite foolish when she met them a little while
later. They were a real mix of types, Phil a hippy with a motorbike doing
a history degree, Dave with his tattoos and piercings, Kev a beefcake
rugby player with morals of a tomcat according to her David, and Nancy a
very overtly lesbian computer art student. Mary was not quite sure how to
take it when David she warned her that all his student mates including
Nancy would probably make a pass at her at some point. The piss taking
David was getting was at first a little confusing until she read between
the lines and realised it was about her being in his mates eyes far to
good looking to be hanging with someone like him! That felt very nice
and as they headed to bed Mary took a lot of satisfaction from knowing
that his mates all thought she was good looking!
"You have the bed Mary, I'll throw my sleeping bag on the floor," David
said slipping out to give Mary some privacy as she got ready for bed.
As Mary had no intention of letting that happen and said taking the
proffered mug when he returned with two hot chocolates laced with a cream
liqueur. "Don't be daft David, I don't mind sleeping with you now get in
here before you catch a cold!" Mary held open the duvet relishing him
snuggling up beside her as she chuckled kissing his neck. "And I'll still
respect you in the morning!"
"You better!" David chuckled.
Talking about everything and nothing as they drank the hot chocolates,
Mary eventually dozed off with David cradled in her arm unsure of who
fell asleep first.
The Goddess watched in approval. Her mortals were forming a bond before
union, this pleased her but their thoughts confused her. The one called
David should take pleasure from seeing his mate decorated to please and
bring him respect from others, yet most deeply he did not! There his mind
was awash with guilt, envy and desire, and none of the pleasures the
Goddess had seen other men take from their mates appearance.
"I think my dress works." Mary chuckled as they caught the bus into town.
"If the look on Dave's face when he saw us was anything to go by!"
The Goddess considered what she had seen. The one named Mary took
pleasure from the reaction's of her pair-mates pack while simultaneously
despising why. This was most confusing and contrary to what she had
observed about how mortals were supposed to behave.
After Montford, Newcastle's night-life was a revelation to Mary. Wanting
to show her the sights David took her round his usual student haunts
before ending up in the pub club for the New Year celebration, and the
place was jumping. Finding a few friends David introduced Mary as his
girlfriend from home, before Mary dragged him to the dance floor when the
DJ played on her favorite Rock Babe's song. The DJ was better than any
she heard at home, and the once brilliant town-hall basement parties
paled into insignificance compared to what she was seeing. When David had
told her about strange lifestyle choices of students, Mary only half
believed him until she saw them!
After a wild night and a lot of lingering kissing and petting, David and
Mary got back to his bedsit at 4am! Mary had just experienced the best
night of her life, and had her eyes opened to life away from Montford.
New years day after the excesses of the night before was spent
recovering, until Nancy and her girlfriend asked if they were going to
the pub. It was with more than a little frustration that Mary drove home,
she had given David every hint and clue she could give, and he still had
not made a move.
Having decided that she liked being David's girlfriend Mary wanted to
stay there and made up her mind that next time she came up, if he was
still acting like a frightened girl on her wedding night then she would
put the trousers on and make the first move! The image of David dressed
for her like she had been for him on New Years Eve filled her mind and
was a very appealing image that dominated her thoughts as she drove home.
Thinking about him she realised in many ways that a dress would be rather
fitting since she was the one who seemingly filled the more
stereotypically speaking 'male' decision making part the relationship.
David was more openly affectionate than she was, and always more than
happy to let her do the driving figuratively and mechanically. Mary saw
she was the more dominant party and that revelation really pleased her.
If Mary had been worried about David forgetting he had a girlfriend after
she left, she was relieved to see when she got home that he had already
been on Facebook. His profile listing had changed to show he was a
relationship next to her name. From then on she began to receive a
regular stream of texts, emails, real letters and long phone calls every
couple of days. Although they were gratifying, they also reinforced
Mary's thoughts about how appealing his feminine quality's were to her.
David invited Mary to the student union St Valentines fancy dress before
she went home at New Year, and was wondering what to do about costumes.
They had decided to go in matching outfits the question was what, until
fate intervened when she saw that classic Star Trek movie uniforms were
advertised for hire when she looked up the local fancy dress shop's
inventory on the internet. Calling David and asking what he thought, not
much later Mary was punching in their sizes to see if they had any that
fitted. They did and even better she could get the female uniform in his
size! Calling him back she told a white lie about the only Star Trek
movie uniform they could hire in his size was the female uniform.
David's heart flipped in his throat before babbling. "What the hell I
wont be the only bloke in a dress there, order them! I don't mind playing
Uhura to your Kirk, Mary." He did not seem to question that they had a
male uniform in Mary's size, and she was not going to mention it. Moving
swiftly onto arranging her journey times, she informed him, "I'm picking
them up on Friday morning, before I leave so should be with you for one,
one thirty."
"I'll be in lectures and tutorials until half two threeish." David said.
"Not a problem I can wait in that cafeteria and watch planet student."
Mary chuckled feeling her loins fizzing with anticipation, St Valentines
was the night!
Knowing he was going to be dressed as a female for the party gave David
the colly-wobbles and some very intense erotic dreams as the knowledge
sunk into his subconscious. The Mary in his mind wanted him in stockings
and panties and David wanted to please her... The following Saturday as
he left the safety of his bedsit dressed the short skirted classic movie
uniform he was not so sure... Even with Mary dressed as a classic Captain
Kirk to guide him David felt a mixture of fear, loathing and abject
terror as they caught the bus into town.
Amazingly since he shook with anxiety he could not deny how good the
outfit felt from the sensation of the skirt on my nylon covered legs to
the pain pleasure of the heeled boots on his feet. It was a weirdly
thrilling sensation to see his reflection wearing a complex black wig on
his head and uniform. Then there was the way the long false eyelashes
just reminded him of the cosmetics she had lovingly applied to his
face... Everything even the terror of walking in public looking like a
girl just amplified the amazingly sensual thrills of what Mary had
dressed him in underneath. Something about how he had to stand and hold
himself wearing these clothes felt so right beside Mary dressed in a Star
Fleet captains uniform and he could tell from Mary's snorted laughs that
she felt the same.
The Goddess was now very confused she was feeling and tasting all the
correct flavours and textures but they were in the wrong recipe... She
could taste the texture of someone taking pleasure in decorating herself
for her mate and the piquant flavour of her mate's matching desire to
possess and please himself on the bounty she offered... Everything was
right except the tastes and textures of the feelings they had for each
other were backwards... It was most vexing and the Goddess was tempted to
meddle openly and correct the balance... But that would attract the
others and serious censure from them could force her to end her ties to
'her' mortal pets. Vexed the Goddess considered the problem, she knew she
had to balance that flaw and correct the flavour of their relationship if
she was to feast on the banquet of emotion they would provide when her
pet's eventually ripend for their final union.
The one named David, although physical equipped with manhood, did not
display the behaviour characteristics that the Goddess's prior experience
expected of a Male. This was equally true for the one named Mary, whose
behaviour was equally divergent from the Goddesses expectation of a
mortal female's desires. Had she mistaken their status, the Goddess was
confused and returned to the bosom of the family entourage to consider
her revelation.
The Student Union Hall was packed with revellers dressed it every costume
imaginable. Science fiction and telly charters were easily the most
popular choices with a fair smattering of famous people or statues and
many crossdressed blokes. Mary was pleased to note that David was one of
the most passable and felt a thrill run down her spine igniting a warm
burning between her legs when Nancy commented handing them their drinks,
"You two look like girlfriend's on the dance floor Mary!"
"Yeah it's pretty weird." Mary laughed.
"Good weird or bad weird?" Nancy joked.
"Good weird definitely good." Mary laughed and dryly commented that she
could get used to the comfort of wearing the pants as she perched David
on her knee and placed a possessive hand on his thigh! Responding in kind
with out thinking he wrapped his arms rounds Mary neck and gave her a
kiss before grinning at Nancy who laughed and said, "Tart!"
Later as the party wound down and they called for a taxi back to the
house. David was feeling the effects of dancing in heels on his feet as
they got home and Mary led him to bed. Sensuously undressing him, Mary
unknowingly introduced David to the erotic power of lingerie as they
teased and pleased each other. Mary felt her heart surge when David
whispered in a horse excited tone. "I... I've never done this be..." Mary
did not give him a change to finish as she kissed him and pushed him back
by the wrists. Not much later the creaking of his bed and Mary's cries of
pleasure told everyone what was happening.
Next morning David had a very silly expression on his face as he made
them breakfast and Mary knew he was hers! She felt alive, after years of
dreaming and praying, it had finally happened she really was David's
girlfriend and if all went well future spouse! Given how he had responded
the night before, Mary chuckled to herself, that he might well enjoy
being her wife, which was an even more appealing thought!
The Goddess taste buds savoured the pleasure in each other resonating in
their minds and smiled. Her pets had taken the first committed step to
become one, and this pleased the Goddess. The basic recipe of their union
might have been wrong but the taste and texture was very palatable and
the exotic flavour of the recipe was a new sensation, for which Goddess
thanked them with her blessing and protection.
Settling into the distance relationship groove, Mary and David dated
regularly through out the year, and as his dad was getting very serious
with Christine when he was home he spent as many nights at Mary's as he
did at home. With her job, the hassles of the solicitors and her
relationship with David, Mary was slow in noticing how her body was
altering and did not realise how much until she finally had the probate
settled. Then consideration about her body was thrown in a spin when she
found out her grandfather owned a lot of land and had left her more than
reasonably well off. If she sold some land to the developers who were
hungrily expanding the southern edge of the town into a satellite
residential area for the London commuter belt it would be more than
enough to afford university and get the house fixed up if she wished, and
it was during this that she noticed some worry changes.
As it was almost the end of the summer term, and David was looking for a
'student' job Mary was hoping he would move in with her. There was
something she wanted to ask him and it had to be somewhere completely
private because she wanted to ask him if he knew what was happening to
her.
First her eyes, then her head hair and now her body hair was changing,
she needed to shave her legs more, and her skin felt different somehow.
Since David was forever in her dreams, she needed to know if he felt the
same, even if it did risk him thinking she was a crazy woman! Although
she could see and feel the changes, it was like no one else could and
having grown more than four inches since since she left school someone
should have!
It was quite chilling when she dredged from her memory that only six
months earlier even in heels she had to look up into his eyes and now in
those same heels if she concentrated she could look down on his head.
Although she could not see any changes in him, no one seemed to see hers
which meant that the same could be happening to David and she could not
see it.
The Goddess was impressed with the one called Mary most mortals do not
make that connection, and knew she had chosen wisely. A less focused
entity would have lifted the glamour that clouded their eyes, like the
rest of the world, to her meddling, but the Goddess was curious as to how
this mind would deal with explaining it to her mate. In all her ages of
watching and meddling this was another new spice in their recipe and the
Goddess wanted to savour it.
"David?" Mary said feeling content as she laid astride of him after
welcoming him home. "I got a question for you."
"Shoot," he said languidly teasing her nipple.
Mary blushed and said, "Well this might sound really crazy but have you
had any powerful surreal dreams about me lately, say since we left
school?"
David went bright red confirming her first indicator. "You have good,
we'll talk about them sometime and compare them with mine." David was
about to open his mouth but she said, "Not yet let me finish, I think
this is important. "Okay the day you started at university my eyes
changed colour to hazel, then I started growing and my hair changed
texture as it started darkening... And now I'm growing body hair in
places I did not think it grew... This sounds crazy I know." Mary pressed
a finger on David's lips. "But I need to know, if any of this sounds
familiar?"
She lifted her finger allowing David to whisper, "All of it Mary. My eyes
turned green that first morning, and I've had the same thing with my
hair, don't think I have shrunk though but if I've not noticed then how
do I know?"
"Measure yourself," Mary said. "How tall were you?"
"Five eleven," David said, reading Mary's eyes when she said.
"I'm five eleven now and your way shorter than me David?"
"Oh!" he blushed and said, "So I'm a short arse."
"Now you said your body hair is growing?" Mary said, forcing herself to
keep her mind on track. It gave her a very erotic thrill when she
realised he now fell inside feminine norms clothing size wise!
"No... diminishing, hell I've not needed to shave for a fortnight!" David
admitted.
"So its both of us then." Mary stated. "And we are only aware of the
changes ourselves, no one else can see this happening, including
ourselves at each other...." She looked down at him and said clearly
dismayed. "David what the hells happening to us?"
"I wish I knew," David said leaning up to kiss her. "And there's no point
in worrying about things we don't know, so come here sweetheart and let
me make you forget it."
Mary shivered as he mock batted his eyelashes. He was looking up at her
like he had so many times in her dreams, and it erased her dismay when
she eagerly accepted his offer.
The Goddess smiled, enjoying the sweet flowery taste of the one called
David's distraction of his mate from the confusions and fears, tempering
the sour hint of confusion in her rich full flavour.
As it turned them both on Mary integrated some crossdressing into the sex
play only days after David moved in. She had always been turned on by
gender bending, and loved the feeling of her lover being pretty and
perfumed for her. She also enjoyed it almost as much when David tied her
to the bed and then kept her at boiling point for what felt like hours
before he finally got her off! Next day regardless of how she felt she
looked, the very silly smile flickering round her eyes told anyone astute
enough to see it that Mary had been reminded of the pleasure of being a
woman after her boyfriend had given her 'a right good seeing to!'
The Goddess was pleased to provide something memorable for her pets final
coupling before her changes altered their dynamic. It would be the last
time David was truly the aggressor and the very last time Mary would ever
sample the flavour of opening her body in submission to a lover.
With working and seeing David's dad once or twice a week, they settled
into a comfortable summer that cemented their relationship before the
really alarming changes started happening. It was Mary who detected it
first.
"You know David," Mary said as she pulled a face. "I think my boobs are
shrinking?" Her tone was redolent with a sated edge of satisfaction from
their playful romp in front of the fire, as she admired David equally
sated expression as he cuddled beside her wearing her long forgotten
belly dancing outfit.
David blushed and put his hands to his chest. After her revelation a few
weeks earlier that he was not mad thinking he was changing, it occurred
to him that everything he was losing Mary was gaining and vice versa. She
grew, he shrunk, his hair lightened hers darkened and the idea that it
would include her breasts both scared and attracted him in equal measure.
Blushing brightly he squeezed and nodded white faced to Mary astonished
that he had not noticed that he had a pair of A cup breasts pressing
against the filling when he had slipped on the bra top.
"Oh god I'm turning into a Man!" Mary gasped.
"Yeah, me," David said in a shaky voice lifting her hand to his breast
and holding it there blushing with shame..
Gasping, "Oh my!" as she felt the unmistakeable shape Mary felt a quaking
shock run through her that mixed trepidation and anticipation. "You've
got boobs!"
David nodded white faced.
Muttering more to himself than to her David said sounding shocked. "No
wonder my tee shirt felt uncomfortable at work."
"Wear a camisole or a bra under the tee to stop it chafing your nipples."
Mary said helpfully before catching herself as she realised what she was
saying, "I can't believe I just had to tell you that David. This is well
fucking weird."
"Yeah." He nodded. "Tell me about it."
Next morning Mary hoped to see if David had done as she suggested but he
was up and gone when she finally crawled out of bed and got ready for
work. As she dressed she hoped David had because her boobs were
definitely shrinking, and if he was getting what she had lost working
with them unrestrained would get very uncomfortable. Wondering if he had
grown, Mary got home to find him still out and a message on the phone
saying her was doing two hours overtime.
He was home for just after six covered in dust, sweat and grime David
blushed brightly seeing her pointed look at his chest and said with a
twisted grimace cum smile, "Lost another cup size have you?"
"Can you tell?" Mary said waving at her office suited form.
"No I found out another way." David winced smiled. "When the titty fairy
visited last night." He pulled a rueful face. "And I need a better
fitting bra."
"Well get you a sports bra in the morning love," Mary said. "What's for
tea?"
"Food when I get round to it," David said stretching his back, as he put
the kettle on. "How was your day?"
The Goddess delighted in their anticipation to see each other changes was
giving a flavour to the feast of colour and texture that accompanied
their coupling. It held a delicate flavour that the Goddess relished! The
recipe might have been different, but that did not make it any less tasty
and knowing that none of her family knew of this surprising feast made it
all the more appealing.
Nudged by the Goddesses meddling, his natural tendency to acquiesce to
make a relationship work was blooming and bringing out the until now the
supposedly feminine flavours of yearning and desire. While Mary's orderly
focused mind gave rise to a cacophony of taste redolent with the spicy
flavours of desire, possession and ownership of their mate. These
flavours in the past had dripped with the essence of a male mind, and
texture of them in female essence, was delightfully different. The
Goddess knew their union was a backwards recipe but all the appetizers
had all been delicious... and she knew lifting the glamour from their
eyes and losing that curiosity from the blend would ruin the first course
of her banquet.
Busy and tied up with work and each other, the Goddess was able to
meddle, a suggestion here, a tweak there was slowly balancing out the
sour despondently resigned taste that occasionally tainted the deeper
textures of the appetizers they served her.
After an academic year spent sat on his arse or partying working at the
warehouse came as an unwelcome shock. It was bloody hard work, but on the
bright side not only was it whittling down his overdraft he was also
finding it fun and physical demands went a long way towards satisfying
his waning inner manhood. As the weeks past, and David's chest swelled
and developed in to breasts, when he was at work if he really
concentrated he could sometimes find his name 'Dave' replaced by 'hot
stuff' or other such terms from his workmates. More worryingly every now
and then he would be alert enough to notice how some of his loading bay
workmates could be talking about the page three girl aloud, while
mentally enjoying undressing his breasts. As they all knew he was a bloke
and one of them had been a mate at school David realised that what ever
was happening to him and Mary others were aware of it only it did not
register. To them there was nothing out of the ordinary to see, because
the world around himself and Mary was constantly adapting to accommodate
their changes.
Explaining his revelation over dinner David blushed and admitted. "Steve
at work was looking at my tits in the brew room today." It got brighter
as he told Mary about this latest shocking development. "And I sometimes
hear them calling me Honey, which is kind of embarrassing."
Mary nodded rubbing her face unaware that she had five o'clock bristles
until she suddenly realised that the rasping sensation on her hands was
wrong, and whimpered, "Oh shit, I've got a beard!"
"Your razors in the bathroom, with shaving cream and moisturiser," David
said adding. "I bought them the other...." His voice petered out as he
said, "I did not even know I had bought them until I was talking just
then?"
Mary looked at him and shrugged. "Whatever is causing this seems able to
control our minds to some degree David. It's why we've both been come out
with inappropriate comments when we have been chatting. That tells me
that at some level we are aware of what each other looks like now?"
"Look I don't want to sound really daft... but we could be being abducted
by aliens?" David said twiddling his hair.
"Not got a clue love," Mary said pulling a face.
"You'll think of something honey," David said, unconsciously shashaying
towards her adding as he wrapped his arms round her neck. "You always
do."
"You hope?" Mary said hugging him.
"Know," David said kissing her nose. "You'll have to! After all its not
like we can tell anyone they'll think we're both nuts... Only you and I
are aware of the changes Mary, no one else."
"Yeah!" She said feeling frustrated as she momentarily caught another
shocking glimpse of her excitingly scary masculine visage in the mirror,
and then she was seeing her usual self.
Although it did not happen often every now and then she would see herself
as the world saw her, and knew she was not as they had first thought
turning into each other. Instead at least for Mary it was more like
seeing mixed with the physical attributes David had lost the version of
herself she would have been if she had been born a boy. Mary often
wondered if David could also occasionally see in the mirror how he had
changed.
All her life Mary might have envied the unfair advantage men had, but she
had never wanted to be a man... even if she did like her lover
crossdressed... Or may be rightly dressed if David's appearance had
changed as much as hers had... that brought an image to her mind that
demanded instant attention and resulted in another impromptu shag over
the kitchen table, which they both more than enjoyed.
"You're like a randy teenager." David laughed bathing in the afterglow of
their love making. Reflected in the mirror he caught a glimpse of himself
with his blouse open and breasts swaying as he spoke, and realised he
really was starting to look like a girl. Whispering. "Oh god," David
recalled that image of him wearing instead of the overall and work boots
he thought he had been wearing for work, he was actually dressed the
distribution companies blue skirt white blouse office uniform and his
matching blue jacket was on the floor next to 'his' handbag, and heels!
"What?" Mary said. "Another change?"
David nodded. "What am I wearing?"
"Your usual work uniform Di, skirt, blous... Oh... shit when did that
happen?" Mary asked realising the she still could not see anything odd in
the figure she had just thoroughly shagged!
"God knows... Long enough that you thought it was usual for me to wear a
skirt," David said, feeling the always pleasurable sensation of cosmetics
on his face. "Or not think it was unusual for me to put be putting on the
make up I seem to be wearing before you ran me to work this morning?"
"Oh?" Mary said.
"But," David said with a shy smile at her reflection. "It's cool, I
rather like how I look when I get a glimpse, and it would appear from
your reactions that even though you cannot see me consciously you do like
what I am becoming, darling." He leaned up and kissed her nose and ran a
hand over her unnoticed manhood, "If this is anything to go by! Now let
me go Mark and I'll get dinner on."
Neither of them noticed anything strange about what he had called her, or
how wrong the presence or reaction her manhood was to his loving caress
as he tidied himself up and put dinner their dinner on.
Mary wished she could see him straightening his blouse and skirt but all
she saw was him straightening his overalls. Keeping her mind reciting
times tables Mary casually looked over at David, and saw for the first
time Diane. Then trying to keep reciting the tables and take in how her
lover looked was to much for Mary and she lost the level of concentration
needed to break the unknown barrier in her mind.
The Goddess was impressed very few mortals had the will power to see her
meddling and she treasured this pet all the more. The peppery heat of her
lust and the tart bitter sweetness of her love for her mate came with a
wave of sensation that thrilled the Goddess as she sampled the sweetness
of her mates desire... The Goddess might have been sampling the flavours
from the wrong pots but there was no denying it was making a delicious
banquet.
From across time the one once called Cybell laughed, saying, "And now you
know my young sister," before fading back into the dark. The Goddess was
chilled, Cybell was one of the ancient guardians who dwelt out there and
rarely intervened with the younger gods. The Goddess knew nothing of
Cybell and then she knew her, the tales, the traditions and the worship
practices... Cybell had called her sister, and the Goddess was pleased
and accepted her mantle.
After making their dinner and washing up David looked round and saw Mary
with her face screwed up in concentration. Then she relaxed and he asked,
"What was that?"
"I've worked out how to see you as you glimpsed yourself for a moment
there love." Mary said, adding with a grin, "And I'm not complaining...
but if this goes all the way how are you going to feel when you lose your
cock to me?"
"I'm trying not to," David admitted. "Because it may have already
happened and we just don't know it..."
"Can't blame you," Mary said, moaning bitterly. "I wish we could just see
each other as we see ourselves..."
"Me to lover, me to," David said burrowing under her arm. "Perhaps the
aliens will let us see?"
"Its not bloody aliens that are doing this to us," Mary said, squeezing
him. "It's something else, something that can alter the fabric of
reality." She laughed lightly. "Unless its just that we've both eaten to
many of those cakes your hippy house mate bakes!"
"Still think its aliens." David pouted, before laughing. "Jesus do you
think now I'm aware that wearing skirts I'll be aware of them all the
time?"
"Probably," Mary grunted. "I'm aware that the skirt suit which your
seeing me wearing is actually a man's suit and instead of heels I'm
wearing brogues."
"Oh?" David blushed, adding as he cuddled close. "Forget it love, its not
like we can do anything about it."
"Yeah I know," Mary said resigned running her hand over his back.
"Mmm!" David crooned, enjoying the caress. Inhaling Mary's musky natural
scent triggered ripples of desire down his back igniting a burning warmth
in his genitals. "How would you like an early night honey."
Mary rumbled, "Oh yes," shivering as she felt his nails under her shirt
running over her well muscled chest.
David was very take charge that night, but not in the way he had been in
the past. Now he began to take great pleasure in bringing her almost to
the point and then letting her slip back before doing it again. His
language was flecked with innuendo more suited to coming from Mary in
sixth form than anything he would have said.
The Goddess tasted in their union how much her blessings had delighted
her mortal toys, and nudged things on again. She was so close to the
perfect combination of texture and flavour, that she blessed Mary and
David's union for a third time hastening the arrival of the first course
of her banquet.
"Jesus..." Mary gasped when they simultaneously exploded together. "That
was fucking amazing sweetheart!"
Laid flat on his back panting like a worn-out pair of bellows with his
boobs bouncing around in time with his breathing, David was floating in a
warm pool of love and barely heard Mary's comment.
Although it was hard Mary forced herself to concentrate as she gazed at
him and felt her heart lurch, looking at his sated form she could see
between his legs a leaking receptacle, and knew that David's comment
about it happening and them not knowing was true. Keeping her mind fixed
on a spot over his alluring and very attractive flopping breast's, she
care fully eased her hand down her body, and felt something very wrong,
and yet very right as she teased a finger over the slick velvety feeling
of her cock for the very first time....
Lay there 'HE' felt a sudden rush of power and blooming confidence, that
was completely different to the false front of confidence 'she' had once
shown... Abruptly he knew he was now Mark Parker, and knew that he was
looking down on 'his' woman, Diane Shore...
This time he heard 'David' moan, "Oh my god Mark, make me feel like that
again... Please."
It was like a command, and 'Mary' tried to fight the urge to possess and
own his woman once again, but the compulsion was to strong and as 'she'
felt 'Diane's' body opening to receive his manhood he knew Mary was now a
thing of the past... And then the revelation faded as the joy of their
coupling filled both of them with no further thoughts than pleasuring
each other!
Next morning 'David' pulled 'himself' from the bed and tottered into the
bathroom feeling a delicous ache coming from every, bone, muscle and
fiber of 'his' body as 'he' slipped onto the loo and did 'his' morning
business. It was only once 'he' was drying 'himself' with some toilet
tissue that 'he' felt the tissue sliding inside the moist cavity between
'HER' legs and realised what 'he' as was doing and let out a scream of
horror!
Hearing 'Diane' scream, Mark lept from the bed, hearing 'her' panting,
"Oh god, oh god," as he pushed open the door.
"Oh my god!" Mark gasped feeling his body lurch inside as he looked at
the figure on the loo and saw instead of David's familiar body 'Diane'
sat there mute with shock.
Grabbing her, he pulled her into his arms whispering, "It will be all
right Di, it will be all right..."
Crying, "It's happened, it's happened," Diane was almost incoherent until
he managed to calm her down, and then he realised he thought he no longer
saw or felt he was Mary, because he knew he was a he!
The Goddess feasted on the release of pure emotion from her pet's. The
flavour was redolent with the spices of their raw emotion, mixed with the
fiery heat of the one once called David's emotional pain. Emotions that
provided a sharp tangy edge to the underlying texture of love and mutual
desire that filled this delicious first course to her banquet. The
Goddess knew she had blended them wisely and showed her approval of the
banquet they provided by easing the pain that provided the 'heat' in her
dish, from the one now called Diane.
"Oh god Mark, what's happened to us?" she said, looking up into his
handsome rugged face.
He grinned and said kissing her, "Something wonderful baby, something
wonderful..."
The End
