Sally forced herself to sit back down. In the ninety minutes since she
had arrived, her nervousness had progressed from fidgeting in her seat
and bouncing one leg on the other knee to pacing around the lounge that
the clinic's receptionist had ushered her into. She couldn't even
convince herself that she was bored because she had paperwork along that
had to be reviewed. No...She was just plain nervous and afraid of what
would happen when Rob was finally released.
This waiting was her own fault really. After being put off for a couple
of additional days, she had been eager to see Rob and to take him home.
So she had shown up first thing this morning and had practically walked
in the door with the staff. There weren't many people left in the
building these days as Sally had been informed that everything was being
moved to a new location. That was fine with her as Winters had assured
her that she and Rob would be able to contact him if they ever needed
him, he had even gone so far as to provide Sally with his personal cell
number in case there was ever an emergency. He had explained that his
government handlers hadn't been enthusiastic about that promise but that
they saw the wisdom in not blocking his availability.
To be totally honest, she was just as much afraid as she was nervous.
She had fallen in love with Rob over the past couple of years and had
been reconciled to the fact that he was married and that he was off-
limits to her. She was sure that Rob had fallen in love with her as
well and was equally forbidden from pursuing it. It was the typical
love triangle and certainly not the first time in history where two
'soul mates' had been kept apart by the commitment of marriage vows.
The biggest problem now was not Geri, but the fact that everything had
been filtered through the artificial personality of Diana. Sally was
conflicted. Had she fallen for the outrageously sexy and vivacious
Diana rather than Rob? Would she find that she might fall out of love
with Rob? The other issue was the Sally wasn't sure who had fallen love
in with her. Now that he would be in control of himself, would Rob feel
the same way about her now as he did before she brought him here?
All she knew for sure was that she mustn't assume that things would be
the same as they had been. The doctor had been careful to warn her
about the possibilities and tried to prepare her for a potential
disappointment. All of those possible situations had kept her from
getting much sleep last night. Her dreams had run the gamut from Rob
becoming her faithful, lesbian love slave to a macho-man who would want
nothing to do with her or worst yet...the dreaded 'I only want to be
friends'. She didn't know what she would do if they couldn't continue
together.
She did know that after Diana, Sally would never be satisfied with a
mere man as a lover ever again. She had been spoiled by the seductive
hybrid man/woman she had shared her bed with.
What added to her frustration was the fact that she was essentially
locked here in the lounge and couldn't go off to try to hurry things up.
She could leave the building if she wished, but she had no intention of
leaving without Rob.
She just wished that they would hurry up! It was almost like being a
child on Christmas morning, waiting in anticipation to see what
surprises were under the tree. She couldn't remain still; she had
thumbed through every magazine in the waiting room. She sat, she stood,
and she paced the floor until she was sure that she had a worn a path
into the carpet.
She turned as the door allowing access to the rest of the building
buzzed. There were several people grouped around the door and prepared
to come into the lounge, but she was focused solely on Rob. The doctor
had warned her that he would be doing nothing to restore Rob's original
appearance and Sally had to admit that she was fine with that. In fact,
she had had to work extremely hard to retain a neutral composure when
the doctor said that he wasn't going to mess with the features of her
Mona Lisa of a girlfriend.
Looking at Rob, she could see that the doctor hadn't tried to restore
Rob's masculine appearance. If anything, Rob's appearance seemed to
have been enhanced somehow. The long reddish-blonde hair that Rob had
arrived with had been clipped so that it just brushed his shoulders now
and seemed to open up his face instead of shadow it. The expression
that he wore almost gave the impression that Rob was just the-girl-next-
door. Looking back on it, the difference between Diana-then and Rob-now
wasn't that obvious until you were able to compare the before and after
images.
Making eye to eye contact, Sally's heart leapt. The clinic might have
toned down his physical appearance but Sally was almost certain she
could still see the lust in his eyes. She knew he still wanted her, or
was she just seeing what she wanted to see?
The warm, easy smile that Rob gave her was a turn-on all by itself and
all of her fears evaporated in an instant when Rob rushed over to her
and hugged her tightly. When Rob stepped back, she could see some of
the same fears and concerns on his face that she had been feeling.
While Rob's hug had assured her that she still had a lover, Rob hadn't
received that same feeling in return.
She took his face in her hands and gently kissed his lips before hugging
him just as tightly as he had just done. Putting her lips to his ear,
she whispered softly, "I love you." That was all it took for him to
relax into her arms in happiness. They both could have stayed that way
for quite some time but the doctor interrupted them with a cough.
"Excuse me? I know that you two have a lot to catch up on, but I want
to discuss some things with you both. Also, agents Wainwright and
Jackson need to talk to you as well." He indicated the man and woman
who had come into room as well. The federal agents nodded to them with
neutral expressions.
Leaving the agents by the door, they took seats on the couch and chair
at the other end of the lounge. Winters took up a position across from
the two lovers because it was obvious that nothing could separate them
at the moment.
"I see that you like the new Diana," Winters started.
Diana faced Sally, "You haven't said anything about my new outfit.
Don't you like it?" He twirled around and wiggled his butt at Sally and
asked over his shoulder, "The dress is new. It doesn't make me look
fat, does it?" He was acting like the stereotypical woman who was vain
about her appearance.
Sally's giddiness at being with Rob seemed to vanish in an instance.
Her smile was replaced with wide eyes and a look of concern. She looked
between the doctor and Rob before she said, "I thought that you were
successful Doctor! You were going to eliminate Diana." She was
becoming concerned again about Rob and his ability to be around other
people again. If it meant that Rob would have to live in seclusion,
then that would be what she would do too.
Winters was quick to understand Sally's upset and answered, "It was! It
was! I'm sorry, Sally." He looked to Rob and said, "Maybe you should
explain."
Rob shifted to face Sally and put his hands on hers. "Sally, I decided
that I want to be known as Diana, not Rob. But Diana herself is gone."
Sally's head seemed to spin for a moment. She couldn't believe that Rob
still thought of himself as Diana. "But why would you want to call
yourself by _her_ name? Don't you realize what you were like when you
were really her?"
Rob nodded as he acknowledged Sally's antipathy for the Diana persona
she knew. Rob took Sally's hands in his and pulled her close, "Sally,
you must understand, being Diana helped me survive those awful months.
For a while, it was like having someone else in my mind with me. But
she doesn't exist any longer. I guess that you could say that she's
dead."
He paused to think about what that really meant. Blinking back some
tears, he continued. "I wouldn't have survived to be here today if it
weren't for the strength that Diana brought out of me. All I can do is
honor the memory of her existence. Taking her name will be a reminder
that the new me is a combination of the best of Rob and Diana."
Sally looked at the new Diana for a couple of moments and realized what
her lover was saying. This was what had drawn her to Rob in the first
place. He thought about the value of others, what they thought, and how
they felt about things. This was more of that same honor and integrity.
It meant that the man she had fallen for was really in front of her and
that he intended to embrace his new reality instead of try to hide from
it.
"So you're going to become Diana Tanner and not be Rob?" Sally wasn't
sure how this would work out.
Diana nodded and said, "Yes. That is one of the reasons why the real
Feds are here today. They've managed to change things so that the story
that Evan and Geri were going to tell the world becomes the real story.
Rob Tanner went to Thailand and transitioned to become Diana Tanner.
"Sally, the doctors have explained they can't give me back a masculine
form or even a voice that would sound like a man. I think the world is
more readily accepting of a transgender female, than a sissified man.
Plus it solves a number of legal issues, by just taking a new name and
claiming a new gender. Diana Tanner is the legal owner of the business
and my trust fund. Rob Tanner looking like a woman could cause a number
of issues.
"The reason you had to wait to have me released is because I was going
through a crash course in how to be a normal everyday woman named
Diana."
Sally looked between Doctor Winters and Diana. "You could have told me
that. I would have been glad to help."
Diana/Rob nodded. "I know. But I wanted to smooth off some of the
rough spots on my behavior and the doctor wanted to make sure that the
old Diana wouldn't somehow reappear."
Sally acknowledged what Diana was saying with a short nod and visibly
relaxed. "It's not like we were hiding anything from you, except maybe
my new hair style and my clothes. I just wanted to make sure that I
made a good first impression." Diana's smile was a cute grin that would
have melted a glacier.
Sally looked at Diana's crotch and didn't see the familiar bulge. She
just glanced at the doctor and then looked at Rob again. She asked
slyly, "Is Mr. Happy still there?"
The doctor spoke up, "We didn't do anything in that area; Diana is still
technically a male. That is one of the things that I need to discuss
with you both. We can, of course, complete Diana's change at some
future date...if Dana wants to go that route."
Sally nodded in acknowledgement. This is something that Diana was
probably already aware of; they just wanted to make her part of the
discussion.
Diana asked her, "Would you ever want that Sally?"
Sally pulled Diana into a hug before pushing her back and saying, "The
only reason I can think of for doing something that drastic would be so
you can wear a string bikini. We can worry about that later. After
all, why mess with perfection."
The two of them collapsed into another loving hug that the doctor
allowed to go on for a few minutes before he coughed to get their
attention again. "Look you two. If you don't cut it out, I'll have to
move you to a private room upstairs."
Sally and Diana had the grace to blush in embarrassment at their
behavior and separated again.
"Now, I just have a few things to tell you and to warn you to be
watchful for and you can go back to real life again." He leaned forward
and said, "I'm quite sure that the old Diana personality is gone, but
you may find some of her mannerisms or personality traits will appear.
It might happen over time or there could be some trigger that could
bring them out. The worst of the programming was eliminated, so you
should have nothing to worry about.
"The other subject that I wanted to bring up is rather delicate and
embarrassing, but I need to talk to you about it. Diana, did you ever
intend to be a parent?"
Without thinking or consulting Sally Diana responded, "Of course, having
a family has always been a dream of mine. I guess now the only way that
can happen is if we were to adopt."
The Doctor smiled and said, "Diana, way back when this all started and I
realized what Evan and Geri had planned for you, I knew that your life
might be changed forever. I wasn't sure that I would find a way to get
away from the monitoring and control that the Mob had us under, which
meant that you, Rob Tanner, stood a very real chance of being unable to
father children, if you chose to do so at some point. All I could do
was take advantage of the time you were here in the clinic to gather
what I needed to make sure that you could still be a father someday."
Diana looked at the doctor with a blank expression, not comprehending
what he was talking about. When Sally saw this she said, "He means that
he took sperm samples from you before you became sterile." She nudged
Diana playfully and said with a smile, "Honestly...Give a girl blonde hair
and look what happens."
Doctor Winters, thankful that the tension in the moment had been
defused, smiled. "Yes. It's the kind of thing that most clinics and
hospitals do when a man undergoes a vasectomy these days. Even though a
vasectomy might be reversible, saving and storing sperm samples are a
better way to go in the event that a man still wants to have children.
But you, Diana, have been essentially chemically castrated and I can't
undo that."
Diana had come to terms with that part of her physical life long ago and
had already anticipated this kind of news so it was not the emotional
seismic shock that it could have been. It was just another thing that
made her more Diana than Rob.
After that, the three of them engaged in some lighter discussion before
the doctor turned them over to the federal agents. He moved off to one
side of the group while Wainwright and Jackson came over to the group
for their part of the conversation.
Both Diana and Sally were officially informed of their responsibilities
regarding their limited and modified participation in the witness
protection program. The government had successfully planted the idea
Geri and Evan were the sole culprits, and thus the likelihood that the
Mob would come after Sally or Rob/Diana was deemed extremely low. The
other two would have to disappear for life; the Mob had a long memory.
It had been determined that this was the best way to provide them with
continued contact with the doctor. In addition, Diana was one of the
few civilians who had experienced Doctor Winters' program and might be
considered relatively friendly to it.
It went unsaid that making them part of the federal program would also
allow their government handlers to monitor and keep track of them. Of
course, it would be difficult to track wealthy subjects, but it was
better than the alternative. It was hoped that Diana and Sally would
see the value in being friendly toward the program instead of causing
trouble in the future.
The agents finished their briefing quickly, answered questions, and
issued special contact phones. It was explained that these phones would
allow them to contact their handlers and would be the only contact they
would have. It was also stressed that they should not lose them.
All conversations were quickly finished and they were free to go. It
turned out that Diana, at government expense, had accumulated a bit of a
wardrobe during Rob's stay and a couple of the staff helped to carry it
out to the car. There were hugs, smiles, and thank-you's exchanged and
they were finally able to leave.
Once they were on their way, Sally glanced over at Diana and said, "You
said that you wanted to be called Diana from now on and I'm assuming
from the way you are dressed that you think of yourself as a woman. Is
that right?"
Sally's question brought home to Diana that she hadn't realized that
there might be a problem between the two of them. After all, she just
went with her appearance. She knew that she didn't look or sound
anything like the old Rob Tanner, so it only made sense to conform
herself to that. Anything else meant that she would ultimately drive
herself crazy. The only question or issue that remained was what to do
about what was between her thighs.
But right now, much larger questions loomed for Diana that she had
neglected to consider. What would Sally prefer her to do? Did she want
Diana to become Rob again and to overcome the changes that had been
wrought upon her? Their time together after the rescue from the club
had been wonderful, but had Sally only been marking time until Doctor
Winters could restore his appearance? Would Sally still want her as
Diana? What would she do if Sally didn't want her around?
Finally, an epiphany began to form. He had only been thinking about
what was best for him. He loved Sally with all his heart, but if he
said he thought of himself as a woman, and Sally stayed with him, that
would make her a lesbian. Could or would Sally convert for the sake of
their love? This was something that he hadn't considered and he really
needed to talk to Sally about...Soon!
The silence grew longer as Diana became tangled in her thoughts. It
dragged on so long that Sally began to become concerned that Diana might
be developing a problem of some sort. When she saw that Diana was just
staring straight ahead and a tear running down her cheek, Sally quickly
pulled the car over to the curb before taking Diana's had and making her
turn. Looking her in the eye, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Diana blinked back more tears and just nodded. Then she said, "I just
realized that I didn't think about what you might want. I decided to be
this way because it made the most sense and because Diana kept me from
going crazy. Do you want me to be Rob again?"
Sally just looked at Diana. All she saw before her was a young woman
who looked lost in the world and just wanted to be accepted and loved.
Sally released her belt and leaned over to take Diana in her arms.
"Honey, I love you! I loved you when you looked like Rob and I love you
when you look like Diana. It's who you are that's important to me, not
what you look like."
Sally blushed a deep crimson, "Can I tell you something personal?"
"Sure, Sally. Anything."
"Having the old Rob in the Diana shell really turns me on. "What's
more, the doctor said that he took samples from you. That means that
you can still be a father."
Diana laughed into Sally's shoulder. "That's what he said. For all we
know, he took those samples from himself."
Sally froze at Diana's words and pushed her back so that they could see
each other. There were tears forming in her eyes now. "Don't say that.
Don't even think that," she said. "Don't you want to be a father? I
mean, I want to be a mother. At least some day." Sally dropped her
eyes when she realized what she had just admitted to Diana.
Diana saw just as quickly what Sally was saying and her heart seemed
like it wanted to explode. She smiled as she blinked through more tears
and nodded. "I'd love to be a father, but I think that the baby will
have to be satisfied with two mommies instead. If we play catch, I
wonder if I'll throw like a girl."
* * * * *
Sophie was overjoyed to have her BFF home again, and to welcome the real
Diana to the ranks of womanhood. Most of Diana's wardrobe had consisted
of clothes that went with her former slut / party girl persona, so the
three of them had fun filling Diana's closet and bureaus. Diana's
preference for clothes ended up leaning toward skirts and dresses, just
not as short as they had been. Even though the old Diana was gone,
Rob's Diana couldn't bring herself to wear jeans or pant suits. She did
prefer a more demure length to her hems though.
When Sophie and Sally weren't shopping with her, Diana spent her time
working as Sally's intern. The two of them agreed that the best thing
for the investment firm, all of the employees, and for themselves, was
that the company should be sold. Diana really could not concentrate on
it any longer and she was correct that no one would take a woman with
her appearance seriously as a hotshot investment analyst. For her part,
Sally didn't want the stress of continuing to run the company on a long
term basis.
The same day that Diana came home from the clinic, Diana moved into the
master bedroom with Sally. They had the place to themselves as Sophie
had decided to move in with Pete. Because of changes that would be
happening in their financial situation, they agreed that it might be
better to move out to a location that would give them more privacy and
security.
The Feds had been true to their word and had smoothed the way for Diana
Roberta Tanner to take possession of the trust fund that had been left
to Robert Tanner. With access to everything that had belonged to Robert
and Geri Tanner, they were able to find a small estate outside of the
city. They giggled like teenagers when they joked about being Ladies-
of-the-Manor. They had fun planning colors for rooms, selecting
carpets, and furniture. Because of the improvements required, like the
addition of two huge walk-in closets in the master bedroom, they
wouldn't able to move in for several weeks.
At work, Wanda became part of the inner circle that was aware of Diana's
secret when she had returned. The two of them became fast friends and
Wanda was an important part of making everyone see that the company
couldn't continue indefinitely in Rob Tanner's absence. Everyone felt
better about the sale when they were assured of keeping their jobs with
the company who was absorbing them. It helped that Rob and Sally had
created an excellent work force over the years. Admittedly, there were
a couple of clinkers, like the analyst who had posted Diana's strip-
tease to YouTube prior to his departure.
It didn't take Sherlock Homes to figure out that Diana and Sally were
headed for matrimony. Wanda was thrilled for them both. Diana made it
official a couple of weeks later. Even though she now presented herself
as a woman and acted like a woman, she was traditional enough to want to
propose marriage to the woman she loved. She had found it easy to buy
an engagement ring for Sally by opting for a simple setting of diamonds.
Being made of money now, they enjoyed dinner out at least once a week.
Diana waited until they had finished their dinner and the waitress had
brought them their coffee before she knelt before Sally and asked for
her hand in marriage. The other patrons around them had clapped when
Sally had smiled and answered yes to Diana's question.
Not to be outdone, Sally waited for Diana to regain her seat. With a
completely straight face, she said, "Diana you have ruined my surprise,
darn you." The smile on Diana's face vanished like it had never been
there.
A suddenly worried Diana saw a waiter approaching the table with a tray
holding a simple cupcake. Her smile began to return as the light dawned
on her. There, as garnish among the white frosting on the cupcake, was
the largest diamond ring Diana had ever seen.
While Diana sat with a shocked smile on her face, Sally slipped the ring
onto Diana's finger and asked, "Diana Turner, will you do me the honor
of being my wife?" This time, the diners around them erupted in cheers
for both of them and their mutual declaration of love.
The sale of the company went remarkably fast and easy. Sally reflected
that it helped to have friends in high places who could grease the
wheels. Diana, Sally, and Wanda found themselves working harder to keep
normal operations going as they also prepared for the turnover of
control. There were reports produced and meetings held to ensure a
smooth change.
Once there was a group from the new owners in the office who were
settling into place, Wanda made it her primary task to help her bosses
plan their wedding. It quickly came down to just setting a date and
finding dresses for the wedding party. Diana was helping but she kept
insisting that they be married in bikinis. Sally wasn't sure if Rob was
being cute or if the old Diana had emerged. In either case Sally was
having none of it and dragged her fianc?e to numerous wedding gown
fittings. Wanda was in seventh heaven while she helped with
everything.
A celebration party was planned when the deal to sell was finalized and
a final date was announced. Sally decided to surprise Diana by making
it a bachelorette party for Diana as well. She arranged with Julie to
use the club on the one of the nights that it was normally closed.
* * * * *
Many of the girls at the club knew Diana and Sophie and were happy to
see them again. The entire party was a catered affair so that no one
had to work...except the entertainment. Because it was partly a
bachelorette party and partly an office celebration, the party was not
officially stagette. As a result, there were several dozen men and
women seated around the room. Rob had been well liked in the office
and, even though it was not known that Rob was actually Diana, she had
endeared herself to everyone at the club and in the offices as well.
The result was a veritable mountain of gifts on one side of the club.
Sally made Diana the center of attention and she absolutely cherished
it. There were plenty of gifts to them both, but there were also gifts
especially for Diana. Most of the gifts were thoughtful, like 'Hers and
Hers' robes, a spa in a jar, and gift certificates to various shops and
salons in the area. There were several gag gifts, obviously from girls
who knew Diana. Things like edible undies or vibrators. Diana blushed
a beautiful shade of pink each time she opened one of the special gifts
and she got a good number of hugs from her friends because of her good
humor.
It was when the lights dimmed and Julie stepped up on stage to introduce
the special entertainment that the party took a left turn. Sally knew
that the entertainment offered by the 'Eagle' might not be everyone's
cup of tea and she had warned everyone in advance. As a result, several
couples had voiced their congratulations to Sally and Diana and taken
their leave before Julie started her introductions.
Once the audience was relatively quiet again, Julie launched into her
speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" There were a few men from the office as well as
Jim and Pete who had decided to stick around. Julie knew from
experience that the coming performance would be enjoyed at some level by
everyone. "Those of you who have visited lately will recognize
tonight's special act. They've been a favorite for several weeks now.
Please welcome Geri and her ponygirl husband Evie!"
The music became louder and switched over to a western theme. The
curtain opened behind Julie as she made way and Diana beheld two women
who could be sisters. What shook her to her core was the she recognized
Geri, which meant...the other woman was Evan! If she hadn't been looking
for it, Diana wouldn't have known that it was Evan, but that woman could
be Evan's sister.
She studied them for a minute and realized that they looked strange in
some way. Evan, of course, was as feminine as Diana herself was. But
Geri actually displayed greater changes. Any softness that had shown in
her features seemed to be gone and had been replaced by sharper edges.
In addition, her womanly curves appeared to have slimmed away. It
almost looked like she had taken to running for miles and lifting
weights.
Geri was clothed in a black, form-fitting PVC catsuit that had a cutout
to display the tops of her large breasts. The catsuit itself was form-
fitting with a zipper that ran from her cleavage through her crotch.
Black gloves stretched halfway up her arms, to her bulging biceps that
seemed out of place on a woman. Spiked boots that reached almost to her
knees completed her dominatrix uniform. Brightly polished spurs glinted
on the sides of the boots, giving them a sinister appearance. She moved
around the stage with cold confidence, swinging a short whip back and
forth.
Evie was a counter-point to Geri's command of the stage. She was clad
in a similar outfit except that her breasts were exposed for all to see.
It was hard to believe that this woman was actually Geri's husband. Her
hands were encased in what appeared to be plastic hooves that stretched
up past her elbows. The shape of the gloves or gauntlets that she wore
also seemed to keep her from straightening her arms so that they were
kept permanently bent. In addition, her upper arms were held to her
sides by clips and rings. Her head was held up by a collar that
stretched from the top of her shoulders to the base of her skull. It
seemed to cradle her head, but it was obvious that it held her firmly in
place and that she could not turn her head. Blinders on either side of
her face accentuated Geri's control over her. A leash was attached to a
bit that was fastened firmly in her mouth, looking like the reins of a
horse. She wore incredibly high spiked heels and platform shoes.
As Evie stood quivering at attention and worked to maintain her balance,
Geri cracked her whip and addressed her audience.
"Good evening everyone! Thank you for being here tonight! Evie and I
would like to wish a special welcome to our guest of honor." Geri's
eyes seemed to burn holes through Diana as she sat at the table. "Evie
and I have been working on a new act for you. We're just going to put
her through her paces for you." She walked around Evie, caressing her
lightly with the haft of the whip.
"As you can see, Evie is a fine image of a pony. Sleek lines and good
definition." The whip lifted a large breast before letting it drop and
bounce. It then trailed down Evie's front to tap against her crotch.
It was obvious from how she jumped that her manly parts were still
present.
Diana sat frozen in her seat, staring at the pair on the stage. She
hadn't really thought about them in weeks and she had just been glad
that they were out of her life. Now...they seemed to be back again, as if
dropped out of the sky. Sally had turned to look at her from across the
table, giving her a relaxed smile as if to say that she knew what was
going on and that she wasn't worried.
On stage, Geri continued with the act as she described the features of
her ponygirl and some of the advantages, like being able to ride to each
store in the mall or not having to worry about buying shoes for her.
Her jibes and jokes were getting quite a few laughs from the audience as
she strutted around. She was in her element as a master of ceremonies.
"Now...We start with teaching her to step properly." Geri turned to Evie
and paused. "Why Evie, you forgot your tail again." She looked at the
audience and said with a wink, "You can't have a ponygirl without a
tail." She strode off the stage and returned almost immediately with a
long tube with a bulb on one end and a fake tail on the other. She held
it up to the audience and smiled. "Here it is! Now that's a tail!"
She held it up before her husband's eyes before stepping behind 'him'.
There was the sound of a zipper and Geri fumbled around his hind
haunches for a minute while Evie looked like she wanted to lift herself
off the floor. She would have tried to get away, but Geri's firm grip
around her waist kept her still. Geri firmly slid the bulb end up his
back door. She closed the Zipper holding it in place. Geri stood up
again and said, "There! Now we have a proper ponygirl!" Projecting
from behind Evie was the faux pony's tail. It bobbed up and down with
each movement that Evie made.
Evie's eyes had tears in them from the pain that must have been
inflicted, but the audience was eating it up. Geri snapped her whip
again before looking into Evie's eyes and sliding the whip along Evie's
crotch. Evie could see Diana in the audience and knew who Geri had been
looking at. She trembled in obvious fear of what Diana might do to her
next. After all, Diana was why they had ended up here in the first
place.
Diana sat in her chair like a statue as she watched Geri's cruelty. The
tears in Evie's eyes were mirrored by the ones that formed in her own.
With each crack of the whip or taunting comment that Geri made, she felt
the twist in her gut grow. If Geri's plan had worked, that could have
been her up there and she would be doing it happily. How could Geri be
allowed to do that to her own husband? Again. She enjoyed treating
people like this and she wasn't actually suffering herself.
A terrifying thought occurred to her that it might be Sally's plan to
give her to Geri. The very possibility made her heart literally skip a
beat. She wouldn't allow that kind of thing to happen to her again!
Then one of the girls from the office called out, "Do you have room in
your stable to train one more?" She was there with her boyfriend who
gave her a good-natured nudge in response. Everyone laughed when Geri
answered, "Of course, there's always room for one more." She was
looking right at Diana as she said it and Diana could almost taste the
metal of the bit in her mouth.
Geri continued the act as she made Evie prance around in a circle
clapping his plastic hooves creating an authentic trotting sound while
she cracked the whip. The awkward movement caused Evie's considerable
breasts bounce each time one of her feet came down. Diana continued to
watch the performance, but it felt as if she had become detached from
everything. She was seeing it, but it didn't feel real to her. If she
hadn't been sitting between the table and her chair so tightly, she
might have fallen onto the floor.
Because Sally was on the other side of the table, she was not aware of
Diana's difficulty. If it had been Halloween, Diana could have claimed
that she was a ghost or a zombie. In the lowered light of the room, her
sudden paleness was not immediately noticeable. Sally was enjoying the
show as much as everyone else and was thoroughly enraptured when the
music changed to the theme song from 'The Lone Ranger' and Geri leapt
onto Evie's back to ride her around the stage, whipping her to go
faster with each lap. The spurs on her boots gouged at Evie's sides,
also forcing her on.
Evie was staggering with fatigue when Geri slid down to the floor again.
When Evie sank to her knees to catch her breath, Geri mimed shooting her
as if putting her out of her misery. She looked at the audience and
said, "If anyone is interested, my filly is available for a small stud
fee." She paused and smiled slyly at everyone before adding, "You
should hurry before I turn him into a gelding. Anyone know a good vet?"
Evie's eyes grew big at that statement and she levered herself back to
her feet, backing away. That got a big laugh from the audience.
All the while, Geri had been looking at Diana as if she wanted to come
into the audience and claim another pony. Sally finally realized that
Geri wasn't directing those looks at her, but at Diana behind her.
Turning around, she was shaken at Diana's appearance. She looked back
at the stage and stood to block Geri's view of Diana, the look that she
gave Geri was dark and dangerous. Geri gave a hate-filled look at Sally
and turned away to drive Evie from the stage, her whip falling viciously
on her butt and thighs.
Sally started around the table to Diana, but Diana pushed herself up
from the table on brute strength alone before she hurried toward the
lady's room. Everyone was so aroused by what they had just seen that it
was easy for them to think that Diana was really excited by the show and
just wanted to be alone.
Sally knew that there was a real problem and started after her. Wanda
and Jim arrived at the bathroom door right behind her. Leaving them to
stand guard, she went in to find out what was wrong with the woman she
loved. She found her sitting on the floor by the commode crying. It
was obvious that she had been ill.
"Diana?" Sally said hesitantly. She didn't wait for an answer as she
went over to crouch by her future wife. "What's wrong honey?"
Diana looked up at Sally, struggling hard to be able to speak. When
Sally moved to hold her, Diana cringed away from her in fear. Sally was
totally confused by her reaction and backed off. Her lover was acting
as if she might be having some sort of flashback, so she settled where
Diana could still tolerate her presence. This wasn't something that the
doctor had warned them about, but it might be some kind of panic attack.
Before she could formulate some way to approach her, Diana raised her
head from her knees to look at Sally through her tears. "Please don't
give me to Geri, Sally. I'll do anything you want me to. I'll be
good!"
Sally heard Diana's outburst as part plea and part accusation. Was the
old Diana back somehow and having a breakdown. Why was she afraid of
her?
Sally kept her voice soft and gentle. "Honey, everything is okay. I'm
not going to do anything to hurt you." She remained still so that Diana
would not become more spooked than she already was. "Diana, can you
tell me what is wrong?"
Diana looked at her with wide eyes, reassured by Sally's tone and said,
"Evan and Geri are just like me! But Geri is still mean! The doctor
changed them like he did me and I don't want Geri to be mean to me
again!" She was starting to tremble and her voice was rising from
fright.
Sally was only just starting to catch on. "Oh Diana! I would never let
Geri near you. I hate that bitch as much as you do!"
That got Diana's attention enough to get her to really focus on Sally.
"What happened to them?"
Sally straightened up said, somewhat proudly, but now ashamed as well,
"I guess that I happened to them."
She told Diana the story of how she and Jim had caught the two criminals
and had taken them to Doctor Winters. Because of the heinous things
that they had already done and had intended to do, they had been made
over into the same kind of person they had intended for Diana to be. As
she listened to Sally's story, Diana began to relax, realizing that she
was in no danger.
"I'm so sorry Diana. I thought that you would like seeing them
punished. I never thought that you might think..." She choked up as she
realized how broken Diana must really be to be afraid that Sally might
make her Geri's slave again. It was her turn to break down crying as
she tried to apologize for scaring her loved one.
"I'm so sorry! I just wanted to show you..."
A shaken Diana was suddenly wrapped around Sally hugging her tightly.
She stroked Sally's hair and whispered that everything was okay. Sally
returned her embrace as they both shivered and cried together.
After a few minutes, they were able to relax and take some deep breaths.
There was a knock on the door and it opened enough for a worried Julie
to look in.
"Are you two okay?"
She was answered by a pair of happy smiles and nods as they requested
purses so that they could fix their faces.
After a rapid repair job, and the liberal use of some eye drops, both
Sally and Diana made their reappearance. Their guests were preparing to
leave, but they had waited for the happy couple to return to the party
first. They were very willing to let everyone think that the reason for
their absence and slightly rumpled appearance was due to some impromptu
amorous antics in the bathroom.
* * * * *
While Sally and Diana were dealing with their issues, Geri and Evie were
dealing with their own. Geri drove Evie ahead of her with sharp snaps
of the whip on her husband's ass. She made no move to remove the bit in
'her' mouth or to free her hands. Evie could only squeal or grunt as
Geri tried to make her move faster. Arriving at the stairs that led
down to their room in the basement, Evie slowed down and held the
bannister as she negotiated each step in her boots.
"Get. Down. There!" Geri ground out, punctuating each word with a
savage slash of the whip. Most of the stings Geri inflicted had long
ago passed the point where the pain actually registered. Evie thought
that Geri knew it too and that Geri just liked to take her anger and
frustrations out on her. Because the welts she was receiving didn't
really hurt, she refused to be hurried down the steps. Considering how
Geri had changed these past months, Evie wouldn't put it past her to
truly shoot her like a horse if she fell and broke an ankle or leg.
Once they were at their rooms, Geri shoved past Evie to stomp over to
the bed.
"That little bitch!" She spat. "Sitting there watching us and looking
pretty as you please! And the other one standing up to block me!
They're the reason that we're here! It's your fault too! You fuck up!
If you had done your part right, we would have gotten the money and we
would be in Paris right now!"
Geri always seemed to forget her part in how their plot had gone wrong.
She rounded on her husband where he stood by the door. He could not sit
down because the tail sticking out his ass. He could reach it to pull
it out because of how his arms where restrained and he could not
participate in the conversation because of the bridal bit gag. He just
stood there looking back at her like the dumb animal he was made to
imitate. It hadn't escaped Evie's notice that Geri was coming to think
of him as being dumb as well.
"I need help getting out of this, come here so that I can undo your
arms!" Geri wasn't going to even walk over to free him up.
Evie made her way over to Geri, not prancing as a horse but moving
carefully enough to not fall. The boots she wore were actually better
for her if she did move as if she were horse-stepping, but her legs were
just too tired.
Geri moved behind her and opened the clips that held her arms against
her. It felt good to be able to move properly again and she knew that
she would have cramps in her shoulders later. She thought that might be
partly by design on the part of whoever had created this costume. It
took a few moments for Geri to remove the hooves and then Evie was free.
She shrugged her shoulders as she reached up to unclip the straps that
held the gag that doubled as a bridal bit in her mouth. She exercised
her jaw after removing the damned gag. She really did not like letting
Geri dress her up I this bondage gear, but Julie had agreed that Geri's
idea for a stage act was a good one. Evie found herself unable to
disobey or even disagree with Julie or Sally.
"Hurry up! I want to get out of this!" Geri demanded.
Over the past weeks, Geri had begun to treat Evie more like her servant
instead of her husband. It stood to reason that would happen,
considering that Evie no longer looked much like Evan. Evie had been
coming to feel more comfortable with her new condition as a feminized
man and had started thinking in feminine terms quite some time ago.
"Yes, dear," Evie responded. She crouched to unzip the backs of Geri's
boots, her own boots forcing her to balance carefully. Geri had already
opened the zipper in the cat suit and Evie pulled the tab through Geri's
legs and part way up her back.
Geri gave a relieved sign as she was able to take a deep breath again.
She unzipped her gloves and held her hands out to Evie to pull them off.
She was quickly stripped out of her costume and stood nude before Evie.
Geri was obviously a woman, but only anatomically one. Her body really
had become harder and leaner, so much so that her breasts had even
seemed to shrink. Evie wasn't sure if Geri had noticed the changes or
if she just did not care.
Evie's body was still pretty much the way it had been engineered,
although he did seem to have continued to lose muscle mass. While she
still had her cock and was able to become aroused, the rest of her body
had settled into a form that would make most magazine centerfolds
jealous. She had reflected at one time that she could probably enjoy a
successful career in porn movies as a she-male actor.
A lot of her acceptance of her current situation might be due to the
programming they had been subjected to by Doctor Winters. She had had
plenty of time to think about things and she wasn't dumb. She also was
not lazy, but she had to admit that the life she had been leading as
Evan, the con man, was not really a happy one. It meant living a false
life all of the time and hurting people in order to survive the only way
that he knew how. With the exception of the abuse that heaped upon her,
a life where she did not have to do harm to survive was heaven.
He knew that this life was a punishment and so much of what he was
forced to endure was cruel. He didn't think that Julie and Sally knew
that he only found some of their treatment to by repugnant, but that
might be why they let Geri have the leeway that she did. He knew that
by letting Geri be so dominant over him, they were punishing him. Geri
couldn't see that she was being punished as well, because she had
alienated everyone else around her. None of the other girls had any use
for her arrogant behavior and they avoided having any contact with her.
It really was not punishment though because Geri had no use for anyone
other than herself.
Without a backward glance, Geri stomped off to the bathroom for a
shower, leaving her costume strewn on the floor. Evie watched Geri's
bare ass disappear around the corner. She was more than a little
disappointed that Geri hadn't helped her out of her own costume at all
and she thought that there might very well come a time when her wife
might fix it to keep her in it indefinitely. At the same time, Geri's
behavior did not surprise her.
She began working herself loose from her costume. It wasn't quite
impossible to do on your own; it was just a lot harder. After a few
minutes, Evie got herself stripped down to just her boots. She looked
down at herself and with a touch of pride saw a well-endowed, curvy she-
male. She reflected sadly that she was male in only one way now. She
had come to terms with it eventually and was working on becoming
comfortable with herself. After all, she probably deserved this and
more. Evan had been willing to go along with transforming Rob as part
of the scan, even if it had not been his idea.
Evie had already arrived at the decision that she needed to put some
distance between her and Geri. There were other suites present in the
basement that had been converted from the cells that had been here.
Because the original intention was not to make them prison cells again,
Evie knew that she would be able to lock Geri out when the time came.
She had already moved her clothes and costumes out and she was sure that
she could come up with an acceptable story to tell Julie that would
allow her to remain there.
Before she could make her exit, Geri returned. She was barefoot, which
meant that she had to walk on her toes to avoid a lot of discomfort in
her feet. She was apparently making an attempt at being attractive as
she was wearing a short baby doll nightgown and makeup. Evie barely
looked at her as she started gathering up the various parts of her
costume.
When she returned, she realized that she should have gone to the other
room much earlier. She had put on a baby doll of her own before leaving
the bath and she found Geri in the bed, waiting for her. Evie had seen
this behavior before. Acting dominant over Evie seemed to make Geri
horny. However, Evie had reached a point where she no longer liked
being mistreated to the level Geri enjoyed. Geri looked on as Evie
started hanging her own costume.
"Come to bed Evie." Geri said, her voice gentle now. It was apparent
that Geri wanted to extend her playtime to bed this evening. This had
become part of their routine as well; be mistreated on stage and then to
be made love to afterward. Evie had initially enjoyed it, but even
their lovemaking had taken on a rougher tone lately and it was no longer
fun. Evie had just reached a point where she felt no arousal for her
wife anymore. She was quite sure that it wasn't a problem with her male
equipment; she just was not attracted to the vicious, domineering bitch
that her wife had become. Perhaps she always had been and Evan / Evie
had not seen it until now.
On her way to the door, Evie paused to look at Geri reclining in the
middle of the bed. "Not tonight, Geri. Being ridden like a pony really
tired me out. My sides hurt where your spurs scratched me too."
Geri had no intention of taking no for answer and she replied sexily,
"I'll ride you some more too. Come here." She beckoned by holding her
arms open in an embrace.
Evie turned and continued to the door. "No, Geri. I just want to
sleep, so I'll take one of the other beds."
Geri finally reached her boiling point and jumped from the bed. "I want
you to come to bed here!" Her voice rose and promised unspoken violence
if she didn't get her own way.
Evie found that she had no fear of Geri anymore. While the shift of
their roles and apparent physical transformations had left Geri as the
stronger of the two of them, Evie had finally reached her own limits.
"Geri, we both know that you can hurt me. I also know that you can only
go so far before Julie or Sally will pull you back...hard. You've
changed in the last few months and you've become someone who likes to
hurt me. I'm sure that is partly what they intended for us, but I don't
feel like being your slave anymore. I think that we need to spend some
time apart."
Geri's face froze as her sissy husband rejected her and her face flushed
with anger. Evie waited a few moments while her wife struggled to
speak.
"You bitch!" Geri spat. Evie could see that she had hit multiple
sensitive points and that Geri was now beyond being just upset. She
gauged her chances of getting out of this room and behind locked door in
the other room before Geri could reach her and get violent. She thought
that the odds were in her favor, because Geri would have to try running
on her toes.
"Your incompetence screwed up the whole plan and we got caught!" Geri
was on her familiar rant again and her face was starting to get red.
"Now you think that you're too good for me and that you don't need me!
"Fine! If you won't do the act, I'll have Julie force you!" Geri was
working herself up into a fine tirade and Evie knew that she could hit
with a lot of force now. She had gotten bruises in the past that took
weeks to completely heal.
"Do you think that you'd be happier hustling drinks for the club?
You're so girlie now!" Every statement Geri made was another rant.
Evie struck back against her better judgment. "What's' the matter Geri?
Are you pissed because I look better than you now? Is that why you came
up with this ponygirl act? Because you look more like a guy than I do
and the guys don't find you pretty anymore?"
Her last comments had drawn blood and might have been ill-considered
because it was obvious that Geri's control was finally gone. Before
Geri could get her balance, Evie was out the door and into the other
bedroom. It was partly fear that drove her speed because she didn't
want Geri pounding on her. There were times when Evie really cursed the
fact that he had ever come into contact with Doctor Winters.
She had the door closed and locked just seconds before Geri was on the
other side trying to open it. Geri raged outside the room for several
minutes, but Evie was certain that she would get through the door. This
was probably the first night in many that she would not be sleeping with
Geri and that was fine with her. They might have been hypnotized to
only be able to want sex with each other, but that didn't mean that they
had to have sex. Evie had arrived at the conclusion that sleeping alone
was preferable to sleeping with that psycho. It had taken a lot of soul
searching to realize that Geri had always been this way and that he had
been manipulated by her as much as Rob had been. Evan had just gone
along with it for much longer than he should have.
Geri eventually figured it out that she could not get at Evie tonight
because it became quiet in the hall. Evie was not looking forward to
the confrontation that would come tomorrow, but she had made the needed
break. The fallout could be dealt with. She made herself comfortable
in bed and settle into a painful and exhausted sleep.
* * * * *
Diana's silence during the drive home worried Sally. They had finished
the evening at the club on a happy note and Diana hadn't shown any of
the emotional jag she had exhibited earlier. So Sally was really
confused now. She expected Diana to be smiling at least, not lost in
her thoughts.
"Are you okay?" Sally asked.
"Hmmm?" Diana looked over at her, obviously distracted, but not upset
or angry.
"You're pretty quiet. Are you still upset about Geri and Evan?"
"I'm okay," Diana said. "I just thought that those two were out of my
life forever. When I saw them up on stage, I didn't understand what was
going on for a while. I actually thought that Geri had somehow taken
control of everything."
"I'm sorry," Sally said quietly. "I didn't realize that seeing them
would affect you this way. I was trying to show you that they were
being made to suffer the way they wanted you to."
Diana smiled and squeezed Sally's leg to show that she was not upset.
"I guess the way she was treating Evan caused some sort of flashback for
me. I'm glad that you were there to help me through it."
"I'm glad that I was there too. I'm just sorry that I hurt you."
"I'm fine now," Diana assured her. "The only thing that bothers me is
how Geri was treating Evan."
"I know, but he deserves it," Sally replied.
"Sally, I'm not so sure about that. From everything I was of those two,
I think that Geri was the brains of the two. Evan was just a
figurehead. I really think that Geri was setting him up to be a fall
guy just like I was."
"That may be true, but they both deserve to be punished Diana. If we
let the courts have them, they'll probably end up in a minimum security
facility somewhere and back on the street in five years." She was
obviously very much in favor of what she and Doctor Winters had done.
"I agree that they need to be punished somehow," Diana said, nodding.
"But we can't keep them there."
"Why not? They're getting better treatment than they intended for you."
"If we do this to them, we're no better than they are," Diana returned.
"I've learned something over this past year or so. A master or mistress
has a responsibility toward those that they have poser over. The
measure of a person is in how they live up to the responsibility."
The only sound in the car was the wind noise rushing past as Sally
considered Diana's philosophy. The emotion and logic in those few words
were unassailable. Diana was completely correct. Geri and Evan could
be left in the own little hell forever, but Sally and Julie would have
to join them there to make sure that they continued to suffer. But she
could see no way that the two criminals could be made to pay.
"But we can just let them go!" Sally argued.
"Well?I've been wondering," Diana said. "It didn't look like they were
under guard at all. Why haven't they just walked away?"
Sally laughed as she related, in detail, everything that had been done
to them by the doctor. The upshot was that they could not leave without
being told to.
After they got home, Diana pressed the conversation again.
"I think that we could use a gardener, chauffeur, and a house maid,
don't you?" Diana said. "You certainly don't expect me to do all of
that work?"
"But honey," Sally said, looking at her lover with big, innocent eyes.
"You look so cute in your French maid uniform. I'll bet that you would
look really hot in a chauffeur's uniform and boots with a high-heel."
She was unable to maintain a straight face for long and grinned broadly
at Diana.
"I'll tell you what," Diana replied, leaning up against Sally. "We'll
go out and buy a chauffeur uniform for me and I can play French Maid or
Chauffeur while you play the spoiled rich heiress." She batted her eyes
at Sally.
Now Sally was smiling broadly at just imagining Diana in uniform.
"Okay...But I don't want those two living near us. Geri scares the hell
out of me."
"Why don't we speak with Doctor Winters and make sure that their
programming will keep them from being a danger to us?"
"I guess that will be okay, but I still have my concerns. I don't want
to wake up dead some morning because Geri went crazy on us."
"They can live in the guest house at the back of the property," Diana
agreed. "We could use shock collars like the ones they use for
invisible fencing with dogs. Surely our government contacts could
suggest something that would keep them from even considering escape."
"Okay, but I want a good security system on the house. We need to make
sure that we can control when they come into the house and that we know
where they are all of the time."
"That makes sense. We can't lock them out of the house permanently, but
we can make it so that we know when they're around us," Diana said.
"Don't worry though. I know from experience that they won't be able to
break free from that programming."
"All right then. I'll call the club in the morning and talk to Julie,"
Sally said. "They'll live at the club and just be regular employees
until we can move them out to the estate." She paused and looked closed
at Diana. "You know that Geri really enjoys dominating and being cruel
to Evan, don't you?"
"Yes, I know." Diana replied. Her smile communicated her pleasure at
knowing that she was able to thwart Geri in some small way. She knew
that just preventing Geri from brutalizing Evan would drive her right up
the wall.
"I just think that it's time for Diana Phoenix to get some revenge upon
some people." She thought that it was only fitting that they would
spend the rest of their lives working for the people they had tried to
hurt so badly.
"Hey! Are you calling me spoiled?"
Diana tried to look innocent as she looked back at her and said, "Not at
all, Your Majesty. Unless you want to be spoiled."
Sally smiled back and said, "Well...I always wanted my own private hand-
maiden. Are you applying for the job? It doesn't pay much, but you'll
cleanup on the overtime."
Diana finished the conversation by fixing a lip lock on her lover's
mouth. Several minutes later, the two of them finally settled down for
the night, spooned against each other like any other pair of lovers...
