...
Hunter stood there his gaze transfixed while his semiconscious best
friend was loaded onto the scooter and then the man drove off. He watched
as the tail light receded into the darkness and then disappeared.
Hunter stood there reeling. He could smell and tobacco and heard someone
talking though he couldn't make out the words. Hunter turned his head and
was surprised to see a slightly pudgy guy standing next to him. The man
took a drag on his cigarette and blew the smoke in Hunter's face. Hunter
coughed and closed his eyes as a wave of dizziness came over him. The man
touched him and spoke again. This time hunter understood most of the
words, but he still couldn't string their meaning together.
Hunter shook his head trying to clear it. "What did you say?" he asked.
The man's face was a strange mix of concern and annoyance. maybe he was
regretting approaching hunter, but if so he wasn't willing to walk away
from someone so obviously messed up.
"I said-" He paused trying to keep his voice level. "Are...you...
alright?" His voice had the carefully calculated inflection one would use
when trying to keep a dog or a drunk calm.
Hunter thought about the last few minutes and how utterly and totally he
had failed his friend. NO he very much wasn't alright. He despised
himself. His strongest feeling wasn't anger though. It was shame. He
looked at the other man whose face was edging more towards annoyance with
every passing second.
Hunter opened his mouth to ask for help, but what came out was. "I'm
fine. I just had a little too much to drink."
The other man's face cleared and he nodded. He pulled on his cigarette
before turning and walking away. As he passed the driveway he tossed the
butt onto the asphalt. Hunter didn't want to talk to anyone. He wanted to
curl into a ball and pretend that the last few hours hadn't happened. He
felt the resentment he had been harboring towards Tyler bubble to the
surface. Magic metamorphosis and existential crises were uncomfortable as
fuck. He hadn't wanted to deal with it. It was Tyler's problem and a part
of hunter had hated Tyler for involving him in it.
Hunter closed his eyes and pictured Ty-Taylor's naked body upstairs. For
the first time he had seen not his castrated friend, but a woman whole.
The images shifted to Greg holding her down and then mounting her. To his
shame the emotion hunter had had was envy. He wanted to be the one inside
Taylor. Even hearing her scream "NO!" and "STOP!" hadn't been enough to
kill his erection. Greg's friends had held him against the wall. There
hadn't been anything he could have done. He had struggled, but he had
also enjoyed the show. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with me, thought Hunter. He
had just stood there and watched as his friend...the woman that he -
loved - had the worst experience of her life. What he had felt was more
like if Greg had attacked him as though Greg had stolen from him. Almost
as though Taylor wasn't real person. He hadn't been able to empathize
with her. "God what a piece of shit I am," he thought.
It occurred to Hunter that if he were some neutral observer he would
despise himself. He did despise himself. Hunter felt shame as he realized
he wasn't the kind of person he had thought he was. As traumas went it
was nothing compared to what Taylor had gone through. The guilt that came
with it was more than enough to make him deeply ashamed and that shame
fed into guilt.
A few minutes of that emotional feedback loop was enough to leave Hunter
on the verge of hyperventilating. The loop was broken when he was
distracted by a new set of voices. He turned to face them. Greg and his
toadies were outside walking slowly and clumsily to a car. Hunter heard a
ringing in his ears and his vision tightened as all the pain he had been
feeling suddenly found an escape and became a blazing and demented rage.
Hunter rushed across the lawn towards them. His muscles tensed to the
point that he had trouble moving smoothly.
Hunter wasn't quiet. He was moaning like a wounded animal, but neither
Greg nor his two toadies seemed to hear him. It wasn't a conscious
decision on their part. He was simply beneath their notice. They didn't
pay him any more attention than they would have a fly. He walked right up
to Greg and pushed him with both hands and the full inertia of his odd
power walk behind him. Greg didn't fall over, he barely moved. He was
laughing as he turned to face Hunter. He didn't bother to set his beer
down. Greg paused to puff on the cigarette in his other hand. If he had
been in his right mind Hunter never would've tried anything even remotely
like this, but in his anger he didn't care that Greg was almost a foot
taller than him and nearly 100 pounds heavier. He didn't think about the
damage an all-state football player could do.
Hunter was crying now, wet angry sobs. "How could you do that to her," he
screamed. His voice broke. his words were slurred but still
understandable. Greg actually laughed at this. He was pretty drunk
himself, but he thought he'd figured out what was going on: This little
piece of shit had the hots for the chick he just nailed and like the
whiney bitch he so clearly was, he was blaming a real man for not being
as pathetic as him.
"listen fucktard," Greg said. His words were slurred, but his contempt
was still quite clear. Even now Greg seemed to be having trouble taking
hunter seriously. More than that he seemed genuinely affronted that
hunter had the gall to think that he should be taken seriously. Hunter
was appalled, it was like he was seeing Greg for the first time. He saw a
raging narcissism so deep and profound that it made Greg effectively a
sociopath.
It wasn't that Greg couldn't comprehend of a woman as a separate person
with her own opinions and desires so much as he didn't care. He wanted
someone and it never occurred to him that they wouldn't want him back. He
knew what pain was. He wasn't mentally ill, but he was indifferent to the
pain of others. For the first time Hunter had a moment of nausea, but he
didn't let that deter him. Hunter swung his fist. It would be too
generous to say he aimed for any one part of Greg's body.
Unfortunately for hunter, he wasn't a fighter. though Greg wasn't either
and his reflexes were dulled by the booze. Hunter's fist struck Greg on
the cheek snapping his head to the right. Hunter nearly cried out as his
fist exploded in pain. Greg laughed. "Damn, is that the best you can do?"
Hunter felt a shiver at the cold dismissive tone in Greg's voice. "that
was so pathetic, I almost feel like you should get a pass for that." The
shiver in hunter's spine increased at the amusement in his voice. Greg
continued. "But it would be cruel," Greg's voice was low and silky,
seductive even. "of me to deny you the chance to learn from your
mistake." He laughed. His toadies joined in a moment too late to be
genuine. Greg moved forward and slammed his fist into Hunter's stomach.
Pain like hunter had never know before drove every thought out of his
head. His vision narrowed and he struggled to catch his breath. He
started to collapse. Greg grabbed hunter's shirt and dragged him back up
until he was nearly eye level. "good night princess!" said Greg. Without
another word Greg's fist snapped forward and struck Hunter's chin.
Hunter's head flew back and his world faded to black. Just before passing
out hunter heard Greg say. "pathetic." Hunter had to agree.
Hunter woke up sometime later. He was on the grass near the driveway. He
had the worst headache of his life. He sat up and realized he was next to
the garbage cans. Despite being the butt of the joke he had to agree with
Greg for putting him there. He stood up slowly. His balance was shot and
he was afraid of falling. Once he was standing, he took a deep breath and
was shocked by the smell. The stink filled his nostrils. He thought it
was the garbage, but then he noticed he was wet. He took another breath,
but he already knew what it was. He had pissed himself. A moment later he
realized that wasn't true either. He was too wet and his shirt was wet
too. They had pissed on him. Greg and his toadies had pissed on him like
a dog marking its prey. Hunter hung his head and cried in shame. He was
worthless. He walked away from the house and headed towards his car.
He didn't want to get in his car with his pissy clothes. He thought about
walking home instead, but that would take longer and the odds of someone
seeing him went up. He pulled the keys from his pocket and opened the
trunk. He was relieved to find a box full of garbage bags. He pulled a
couple out and used them to cover the driver seat. He drove home slowly.
he was afraid of getting stopped by the cops or frankly seeing anyone he
knew. He crept up to his street and turned the headlights off. He parked
around the corner and out of sight of his house. He took the bags with
him, but left both the passenger and driver's windows cracked to try and
air the car out.
Hunter ran as quietly as possible up to the door and got inside. He
didn't bother to turn the lights on. he instead went straight up the
stairs. he didn't stop until he got to his bathroom. He pulled his phone
out of his pocket and set it on the counter. But otherwise didn't get
undressed. he got directly into the shower and switched it on. He stood
there under the stream shivering as it came out cold. It would warm up
soon enough but he didn't want to wait. He just stood there and let the
stream soak his clothes, rinsing them out. They quickly became
waterlogged and were quite heavy. One by one he stripped off each article
of clothing. He left them in a pile on the floor of the shower. he still
had one of the garbage bags with him. He rinsed it off and then filled it
with his clothes and put them outside the shower.
Hunter took a very long shower. He scrubbed every inch of his body at
least three times. No matter how long he washed though he still felt
dirty. In the end he only stopped when the water ran cold and he started
to shiver again. He dried himself with a towel and was relieved that he
couldn't smell piss any longer. He wrapped the towel around his waist and
picked up the garbage bag. It was very heavy with all the wet clothes
inside. He walked quickly downstairs to the laundry room and dumped
everything in the washing machine. While the washing machine ran he just
sat in the corner and kept going over the events of the evening in his
mind. He felt so helpless. He should try and find Taylor but he was
embarrassed and what's more he was ashamed. His thoughts were interrupted
by buzzing when the washing machine finished its cycle. He moved
everything to the dryer and pressed start. Physically and emotionally
exhausted he went to bed and passed out.
Hunter slept badly. He woke up early in the morning and was stiff and
sore. His skin felt clammy. He didn't remember any of his dreams but that
wasn't unusual. given the way he felt; he was pretty sure that they had
been bad.
Another quick shower and a large cup of coffee and Hunter was on his way
to school, much earlier than he usually went. he was hoping to avoid his
parents. He didn't want to explain the bruises. hopefully they would fade
a little bit before tonight.
Hunter opened the driver's door and reached in and felt the seat. It was
dry. He got in and took a sniff. "Fuck" he thought. It was faint, but he
could still smell piss. He opened all the windows as he drove to school.
He was early and there were very few cars, but he went to the back of the
rear parking lot anyways. The front lot was quite small and reserved for
faculty and seniors. The rear lot was a quarter of a mile away but it was
never more than half full.
Hunter grabbed his bag and walked towards the main building. The doors
were already open and he went to the library. He was planning to hide in
the stacks until second period when he had math.
Hunter grabbed a couple of books and went to one of the desks. Just
sitting there was boring so he took his homework out and started checking
the answers. He worked slowly, but right now that was an advantage.
Hunter's phone chimed reminding him that it was time to leave for class.
He walked out of the library and headed toward his class. He turned the
corner and came face to face with Greg and his toadies. There were other
people around so Hunter was pretty sure they wouldn't do anything, but he
still couldn't stop himself from shrinking against the wall.
Greg smirked as he approached. Hunter left plenty of space, but Greg
walked right up to him. He tilted his head and then looked at hunter with
such contempt that Hunter's mouth went dry. Greg sniffed and said to his
friends. "Do you smell something?" the three of them laughed hard. It was
too high and quick to be authentic, but that just made it worse. Hunter
blushed deeply and tried to curl into himself. Greg's eyes tightened and
said under his breath, "Pathetic!" They walked away leaving Hunter
pressed against the wall. He looked after them and then wiped his eyes
before walking to his math class.
He was late; the rest of the class was already seated, but the teacher
was still organizing his notes. He glanced at hunter and smirked looking
oddly like Greg for a moment. Hunter didn't say anything, but headed for
the very back of the class and sat down.
Hunter was too distracted thinking about what had happened over the last
few to pay attention to the teacher. That changed when ten minutes into
the class, he called out a name. "Ah Taylor, thank you for joining us,"
left unspoked was the 'finally' that everyone knew he wanted to add.
Hunter looked up, at the front of the room standing near the door was a
beautiful young woman. Without the prompt of her name, he probably
wouldn't have recognized her. Looking at her now though there was a
strong resemblance to Tyler. the differences from last night were for the
most part pretty subtle, but their cumulative effect was profound.
Instead of an effeminate boy or a barely pubescent girl, Taylor had
become a quite striking woman. Her poise and her curves made her appear
far more mature than her sixteen years.
Hunter couldn't look away. She was dressed in a blue polo shirt and
jeans. They didn't fit right. hunter was sure that they were cut to fit
Tyler not Taylor. Looking at the polo shirt Hunter realized that Taylor
wasn't wearing a bra.
She spoke briefly with the teacher. Hunter couldn't make out her words,
but the tone was apologetic. The teacher's response was clearer. "very
well Taylor. Try not to make a habit of it." Hunter involuntarily
bristled at the teacher's tone. He was usually condescending, but now
with Taylor he was absolutely cutting. Taylor bobbed her head and turned
to walk to a desk. As she did her eyes met hunter's for a moment. She
turned away and walked to the other side of the class room.
Her steps echoed as the flip flops she wore smacked her feet with every
step. Hunter followed her with his eyes across the room. Her hair hung
loose down her back. the ends were barely touching her waist. Her hips
and butt pulled the material of the jeans tight, while the waist seemed
loose even with the belt. The jeans were too long for her, but the legs
were rolled up. giving her legs the appearance of a fifties greaser.
Hunter looked back up at her face and was embarrassed to see her looking
back at him. He quickly looked forward.
For the rest of the class, hunter would frequently glance at Taylor. One
of those times he noticed that the page of her notebook was as blank as
his. She clearly wasn't paying any more attention to the class than him.
Hunter also noticed a large percentage of their fellow classmates
glancing over at Taylor every time he did. When the class ended, Taylor
jumped up and ran quickly out of the room. In addition to providing a
pleasant sight to everyone looking at her. It also prevented Hunter from
talking to her.
He didn't see her again until he filed into the cafeteria for lunch. He
carried his tray into the seating area and then he saw her. She was
sitting with her back hunched over the table. Her posture was as clear as
an actual sign saying "Fuck Off!" would have been. Hunter decided that
didn't apply to him and walked over to her table. He put his tray down
and sat down. Taylor looked up with a nasty scowl on her face. Before she
could say anything, hunter said, "Tyler. I'm sorry, please-," Taylor
reeled back as though she'd been slapped.
"You remember?!" Taylor said loud enough that a couple faces turned
briefly in their direction.
"-forgi-," Hunter continued. He paused confused. "Remember what?" he
asked.
"You remember that I used," Taylor's voice dropped and she glanced around
nervously, "to be Tyler. A man that is."
Now it was hunter's turn to be confused. "Why wouldn't I?"
Taylor glanced around again. "Victor told me that he couldn't reverse
Michelle's spell directly. Apparently it's a very old curse," she paused
then her voice went lower still. "he said that I could pass it on to
another person."
Hunter nodded to show he was listening. "What does this have to do with
memory?"
Taylor waved her hand and said irritated, "I'm getting to that."
Hunter belated decided to hold all questions.
Taylor continued. "What he could do, he said, was to make it so that
others would recognize me. They would remember Taylor not Tyler." She
looked back up at Hunter. It was the first positive look she had given
hunter since last night. He felt something in his chest unclench at the
thought that she didn't hate him.
That's when Hunter went stupid. He reached his hand out to touch Taylor's
hand. If he had thought about it, he would probably claim it was a
gesture of support. then again if he had thought about it he would have
known better. In practice what happened was Taylor jerked back.
Hunter's gut clenched as he saw fear flood across Taylor's face. It was a
visceral reminder of the horror that she went through last night. Hunter
pulled back and a spike of self-loathing went through him. He felt even
worse when she said, "I'm sorry...I'm still quite jumpy after," Taylor
said trailing off. Hunter wanted to comfort Taylor, but after upsetting
her he was afraid he would just make things worse.
The tension built inside Hunter until he blurted out, "I'm sorry; for
what happened, I mean." He avoided making a direct reference to the rape.
Taylor heard it anyways. Her face closed down. She froze just starring at
hunter for several seconds before jerking back into motion.
"It wasn't your fault," she said. Her voice was flat and she didn't look
hunter in the eye. Hunter realized she hadn't said, "you have nothing to
apologize for." Taylor's face tightened and hunter thought she was going
to yell at him. "The person I BLAME is Gregg!" her voice rose at the end
and her eyes flashed. She looked around quickly and pulled into herself.
Hunter couldn't abide the silence. "What are you going to do?" he asked.
Taylor let the weirdly melodramatic phrasing pass without comment. "I
don't know how, but I'm going to figure out a way to fuck him over."
Taylor blushed at the unintended double entendre. She looked at hunter
and said, "I've got to go," before hunter could respond, Taylor jumped up
and ran out of the cafeteria.
Hunter was a little embarrassed at himself for looking at Taylor's ass as
she walked away. Hunter wanted to be a good friend to Taylor, but every
second that passed made it harder to remember Tyler as he was.
Taylor left the cafeteria. She was silently crying. So far she had been
able to hold back the sobs but her eyes were "leaking." She was having
difficulty keeping her emotions stable. Her clothes didn't fit right.
Every time she moved the material either pulled tight or was too baggy in
a new and embarrassing way.
Taylor glanced over her shoulder as she left and caught a glimpse of
hunter looking at her. His eyes didn't meet hers. He was looking lower.
He was looking at her ass. That morning when her parents had called her
by her new name. she had been both relieved and heartbroken. It was a
relief to be "recognized" and therefore still be welcome in her home, but
that also meant that her previous existence was lessened too. It was
worse than she could've imagined. She felt like she had been erased. Then
she had come to school and the same thing had happened again and again
and again. Victor had warned her that he wasn't changing history. He was
replacing memories of Tyler with ones containing Taylor. With a subtle
pressure to not dwell on any dissonances this caused. People would fill
in any gaps subconsciously.
Taylor hadn't believed him at first, but it was true. That pattern had
repeated all morning in every one of her encounters then she had walked
into math class and seen hunter and part of her had died. He had been her
lifeline over the last few days and now he was gone too. She had
internalized that pain until it had numbed her. When he had joined her at
lunch and said her true- her former name, it was proof that she wasn't
crazy. that Tyler had been real and that he hadn't actually been erased.
Taylor kept walking and smiled to herself as she left the cafeteria. Her
butt wiggled more as she unconsciously strutted. The thought that hunter
found her desirable was strangely reassuring. She would have stayed and
tried to offer some reassurances to hunter, but Greg had just come into
the cafeteria and the thought of being near him made her want to scream.
She slowed to a fast walk as the bouncing of her tits became too much.
She went to her next class and hid in the back. The rest of the day
passed in a blur, actually a series of blurs. She had trouble focusing
and spent most of the time in her own head. Fortunately for her own peace
of mind this meant that she didn't notice how many of the other kids kept
leering at her. Despite her ill-fitting clothing and bad posture, she was
easily one of the three or four hottest girls in school.
At last the day came to an end and Taylor walked out of the school and
headed for the cross street where the busses were staged from. She was
halfway across the street when her path was blocked by Greg in his fancy
red sports car.
"Hey pretty lady. Can I give you a ride?" he said.
Taylor froze, her mouth was open, but no words came. She wanted to scream
at him, but couldn't bring herself to utter one word. The pressure in her
stomach was ratcheting up and her breathing was becoming more ragged as a
panic attack built. - CRUNCH!
Taylor jumped back as Greg's car jumped forward. Hunter had rammed the
back of Greg's car. Greg loved his car. He bellowed in rage and pain. If
you didn't know better, you would think that he had just discovered the
brutally murdered body of his mother.
Hunter winked at Taylor before getting out of his car. Greg jumped out of
his car and ran back to yell at hunter. Taylor took the opportunity to
run to her bus. She pulled out her phone and started typing a message.
****
Hunter pulled up to his house. His jaw hurt from where Greg had punched
him. He shut off the engine and picked up his phone, noticing a new
message alert. He tapped the app open and saw a message from 'Tyler'.
"thank you for that! ;)" it was a small thing but hunter found himself
endowing those few words with deep meaning. A warmth spread through his
being. He sat there staring at the screen with a dopey expression on his
face. His pleasant fantasy was interrupted by his phone chiming with
another text alert. "Give me a call when you get a chance." It was from
Taylor. It was very easy for hunter to project a highly sexual meaning
onto those few words.
Hunter blinked and forced the fantasy from his mind and tapped the phone
icon next to Tyler's name. he held the phone to his ear and listened to
it ring. Three times it rang and there was a click and the sound of
breathing. Hunter didn't say anything. The breathing sound continued
softly but still there were no words. Hunter tried to force himself to
say something, anything. "Hello?" was all he could manage after what
seemed like an hour, but wasn't much more than a few seconds.
Then continued silence, hunter was losing an internal battle to speak
again when the response came. "hey!" it was forced and with a rushed
quality. As though the speaker was afraid they'd lose their nerve halfway
through.
"It's me, Hunter," he said.
There was a giggle that managed somehow to be simultaneously enticing and
condescending. "I know," she said.
Hunter waited a moment before saying, "You asked me to call?" His voice
was artificially calm.
"I need your help," she said, "Would you come over here to my house?"
Hunter nodded, then feeling stupid said, "I'll be right over." Hunter
managed to avoid getting a speeding ticket on the trip over.
The doorbell rang and Taylor ran down the stairs deliberately ignoring
the bounce of her tits as she moved to the door. She paused at the door
and tried to slow her breathing. She wanted to seem calm and cool. She
felt a flutter at the door. she was happy and excited to see hunter. as
she opened the door, she had a goofy grin on her face, which got bigger
when she looked at hunter.
Hunter gasped and thought his heart had stopped when he saw Taylor. Her
hair cascaded around her shoulder. She was smiling and seemed to glow
with an inner light. She stepped to hunter and they embraced. Hunter
breathed deep smelling her hair. She must have just showered. Her hair
and skin were still slightly damp. There was the floral scent of shampoo
or body wash. He could feel her body against his. Her breasts were
pressed against his torso. He tried to run his hands over her back, but
quickly found himself becoming aroused. He was afraid Taylor would feel
his erection so he stepped back.
Taylor looked up at hunter, the sun was over his shoulder and was shining
in her eyes. She squinted against the glare. That prevented her from
seeing the glassy eyed stare hunter gave her as he looked at her. She
turned and walked back inside. Hunter followed behind her pausing to
close the door. She was a third of the way up the stairs by this point.
She was swimming in a hoodie and sweatpants that were way too big for
her. She was barefoot and stumbled more than once as she stepped on the
cuff of the pants. Hunter followed her up the stairs catching up just
before the top step. She didn't turn around or speak to him. She just
walked across the landing and into Tyler's room. Hunter was suddenly
nervous and excited. It was weird to follow her into her bedroom and see
- Tyler's room. It was unchanged. The posters on the walls. The paint
color. The flat screen TV, the XBOX, the racecar bed (holdover from
childhood). Everything was the same as the last time Hunter had been in
this room. Except of course, for the sexy nymph standing in the center of
the room. Hunter wondered on that for a moment. Both Tyler and he had
dreamed of having such a woman in their room.
Now she had him in her room. He hoped she was excited by that, but
doubted she was. He didn't normally doubt himself like this, but she was
way out of his league.
"As you can see," said Taylor waving her arms around her, "everything is
still the same." She shrugged and looked down at herself. "Well almost
everything." She continued, "Victor told me his spell wouldn't touch
reality." She hunched her shoulders at that. "My learner's permit still
has Tyler's Photo on it."
A confused Hunter said, "But earlier you said everyone recognized you."
Taylor turned her head to look at hunter. "That's not the same thing."
She bent over and pulled open one of her dresser drawers. "What he did
was connect me to memories and perceptions of Tyler." She shrugged again.
"They recognize me in his place."
She stood up and set the clothes she had pulled out on the bed. Hunter
recognized the logo of a summer camp the two of them had attended through
middle school. Taylor glanced at hunter and waved her finger. "Would you
please turn around." Hunter did as she asked. He heard what he assumed
was the sweatshirt landing on the bed. Hunter felt his erection returning
at the thought of Taylor disrobing.
Hunter looked up and noticed that the bathroom door was open. On the back
of the door was a full length mirror. His pulse sped up. it occurred to
him that a few steps would change the angle between him and the mirror
enough to line him up with Taylor's reflection. He took a step as quietly
as he could while keeping his eyes on the mirror. The view shifted
showing the edge of the bed. Another step and he saw a shell of dirty
blonde hair. Another step and he saw the blonde woman stand up. her long
hair ran down her front almost to her waist. She pulled her hair back and
awkwardly tied it into a bun. While she did so her perfectly formed
breasts jiggled in response to her movements. Hunter's mouth went dry at
the sight. He had been blown away last night at the sight of her
partially transformed body. Now her curves had fully ripened.
Hunter was overwhelmed at the sight and stared openly. He didn't notice
when Taylor's eyes flicked to the mirror and saw him looking.
Taylor finished wrapping the rubber band around her hair. She glanced up
and saw hunter's reflection watching her and she felt exposed. She
reached for the T-shirt and pulled it on. She felt his eyes on her
breasts as the scratchy material covered her face. She hadn't worn this
shirt in years and she hoped it would fit. Her nipples tingled in the
air. She was getting a charge out of Hunter looking at her like this. Her
arms slipped through the holes and the material slid down her body.
The shirt did fit...mostly. It was a little loose in the shoulders and
tight across her chest. Her nipples were visible through the material.
Also the shirt had been washed at least one time too many the fibers had
broken giving it a scratchy texture. That texture was now tickling and
exciting her nipples. She pulled the sweatpants down revealing the pair
of briefs she was wearing. She thought she could actually hear Hunter
growl in frustration. Smiling to herself, she took a moment to tease him,
running her fingers under the elastic waistband of the underwear. She
picked up a pair of gym shorts from the same camp. To her relief they fit
over her hips and the elastic pulled them tight enough around her waist
to stay up. They were awkward, like the rest of her wardrobe, but at
least she wouldn't be tripping over her feet.
Taylor keeping her eyes down said, "You can turn around now." Hunter spun
in place a little too quickly to be casual. Taylor looked up, smiled and
said, "How do I look?" Hunter blinked. It was different looking at her
directly rather than looking in the mirror. There was a separation
between them when he looked into the reflection. Now he was standing less
than ten feet from the most beautiful woman he had ever met and she was
looking directly at him and smiling. "You look great!" he said, a slight
huskiness creeping into his voice.
Taylor glanced away as Hunter blushed. She liked being complimented, at
least when it was hunter who did the complimenting. "The reason I asked
you to come over was I need to go shopping, and I was hoping you could
drive me- "
"Sure," Hunter interrupted.
"-to the, oh." Taylor had expected more of a struggle. She had been
willing to beg. She hadn't had to. "Thank you," she said simply while the
two of them exchanged goofy grins.
After a couple of seconds of silence, they walked to the door together.
Hunter went first and Taylor followed behind. She let her eyes travel
over hunter's body. She had noticed throughout the day that her mind had
changed from Tyler's. Victor had warned her about this too. He said it
was often the most disturbing part of the curse. When Michelle said she
had stolen his manhood, it hadn't been a metaphor. She hadn't just
affected Tyler's body. The curse had changed her mind as well. The first
she had noticed the mental side of things was at the party last night. As
she got drunker she found herself looking at the men. Her judgement
hadn't lasted long, the clumsy drunken attempt to seduce Hunter was a
spur of the moment decision. Now sober she still found men attractive,
but hunter was something else. She found him physically attractive, but
she also found him charming. She was genuinely happier with him around.
She had noticed him looking at her and found the attention very pleasing.
Of course none this was to say she wasn't willing to tease him a little.
They went to a discount chain store, parking just beside the bull's-eye
sign. They walked quickly inside. The air conditioning inside was very
strong and Taylor immediately felt a chill. Taylor had her mother's
credit card, but there was a limit to how much she could put on it.
Taylor smiled to herself and while carefully avoiding looking at hunter
she said, "I need some underwear." She reached up and quickly cupped her
breasts through the shirt. "Especially a bra or two." She kept her voice
level, but laughed on the inside at the hungry look on Hunter's face.
"Down boy," she thought to herself.
Hunter swallowed and pointed vaguely to the right. "I think they're over
there." Taylor walked down the aisle with Hunter at her side. She felt a
surge of warmth towards Hunter. This man who was the last connection to
her old life was the best thing about her new life. A pain blossomed in
her chest. The next few days would be hard for him. That pained her, but
it was unavoidable. Without thinking through what hunter would think, she
reached out and took his hand in hers. Hunter turned to look at her. She
squeezed his hand briefly. "I wanted to thank you," she said. It was much
harder to say what she wanted than she'd expected. "I don't think I could
have coped with the last few days without your support."
Hunter started to interrupt, but Taylor overrode him. "No wait, let me
finish." She said. She took a step back and waved her hands at her body.
"I haven't had anything to hold onto during and after the
transformation." She paused not for emphasis, but to gather her courage.
"you took that place for me. You provided the continuity for me." Hunter
again started to speak, but stopped when Taylor placed her hand on his
chest. "I know you feel like you failed me." That was as close as she
could come to mentioning last night. "but you didn't, because what you
gave me was about your presence not your actions," Hunter hid it well,
but Taylors words ripped through him like broken glass. As far as he was
concerned this was just one more reminder that she couldn't count on him
to protect her. Taylor continued, "So let me just say this: Thank you for
keeping me sane."
Hunter couldn't bring himself to speak. He nodded jerkily and then the
two of them continued down the aisle hand in hand. Hunter was surprised
by how much he enjoyed the shopping trip. shopping wasn't that
interesting to hunter, but time spent with Taylor made him happy.
Taylor spent the first half hour trying random garments on to get an idea
of her own sizes. The bra that seemed to fit the best was a 32C. her
waist and hips were harder to quantify with the clothes available. She
changed into a pair of skinny jeans and the same T-shirt as before. She
wasn't sure, honestly, whether it was enough. With the bra, her chest was
more prominent than before. The shirt was pulled tight across her chest
and the shirt covered even less of her stomach. She turned to the mirror
on the back wall.
"HOLY SHIT!" she thought. She was fucking hot. The shirt was pulled very
tight across her torso. Every curve was emphasized. The jeans were tight
by design. She turned partway to get a better look at her backside. The
gap between her shirt and pants was less than over her stomach, but still
an inch or two at its narrowest point. She had some conflicted feelings.
A bolt of pride at her attractiveness was matched by a sudden feeling of
exposure. She imagined wearing this out in public. There was a spike of
fear that ran through her core. She had already had a pretty terrible
example of what could happen when you lost control. Wearing this felt
almost like an invitation to be attacked again. she felt ashamed.
She didn't like that. She really didn't like that thought. It made her
very angry to think about that. What happened wasn't her fault; it was
Greg's fault. She took the shirt in her hands and pulled it up to expose
more of her stomach. She tied a knot in the bottom of the shirt. She had
more than doubled the amount of skin she was showing. Her skin tingled.
Her heart sped up and her breath caught in her throat. Fear rose up in
her throat. She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing. She took deep,
slow breathes. After a minute or two, her heart slowed. Newly calmed, she
opened her eyes and looked at the mirror again. She reached for the shirt
and was about to untie it, but then she stopped. The terrifying truth was
that she was powerless to protect herself against all the "bad"
possibilities.
That fear had been omnipresent, like a high pitched whine in the
background. It was consistent enough that she almost could forget about
it. She stood there and something inside of her shifted. There were few
enough things that she could control. She pulled on the shirt again and
tightened the knot. Now the shirt stopped just beneath her bra.
Her skin tingled again. Her heart sped up again. This time though it was
a scratchy defiant feeling. She could live in fear, but that wouldn't
keep her safe. She decided to face that fear, not by ignoring it, but by
defying it. She turned and picked up the few "accepted" articles of
clothing leaving behind the much bigger pile of "discards."
She paid at one of the automatic cash registers and walked to the caf? by
the front door. Hunter was there sitting with two cups of coffee in front
of him. He was staring at his phone. Taylor walked up to the table and
sat down across from hunter.
He looked up as she sat down. His eyes seemed to stick when they reached
her breasts. Taylor felt a spasm at his look. She had no qualms about
being attractive to or admired by hunter. She took a sip from the coffee
further from hunter. It was a little cooler than ideal, but still
drinkable.
"So I found a couple of things," she said between sips of coffee. "I
still need to get some shoes." Hunter nodded but didn't say anything.
They sat in silence for a moment just drinking their coffees and
thinking. It was a nice moment. They were able to shut up and enjoy a
moment of silence. Taylor drank her coffee a little faster than hunter,
but he still finished first. He stood up. so she did as well. He picked
up her bag and walked around the table.
Hunter and Taylor walked through the mall together. Hunter followed
Taylor into a discount shoe store. She looked around. It was a chain that
she was familiar with, but she had never been in one before. It was a lot
bigger on the inside than she had expected.
She turned to him and said, "I'll meet you in the food court in a half
hour." She closed by kissing hunter on the cheek. She stepped back and
turned away. Hunter caught her hand and pulled her back. She spun back
around and looked up at hunter as he bent down and kissed her full on the
lips. Hunter's hands went to her back and then down onto the skin at her
waist.
Taylor's skin tingled and flushed. Hunter's fingers on her body felt
really good, but that was nothing compared to the feeling of his lips on
hers. Taylor felt a bolt of pleasure shoot through her belly landing in
her crotch. She could feel her pussy spasm. With their bodies pressed
together she could feel his erection through his pants. Hunter pushed her
away and stepped back looking down at her. His eyes were actually
bulging. "see you in a few minutes." There was a tremor in his voice. He
didn't say anything else and just turned and walked away.
Taylor stood there and stared after him. She shook her head. "wow!" she
thought, he's a great kisser. She turned and walked down the aisles
looking at the different styles. There were so many choices that they
started to run together. She wasn't even through the first aisle yet.
Taylor spun around a couple of times. Finally, she paused and walked to
the closest corner of the shop. The top shelf was only a couple inches
below her eye level. On it was a wedge heel with sandal straps on it. The
heel was pretty high, she guessed it was four or five inches in the back
and at least one in the front.
On the floor nearby was a mat with measurements printed on it. Taylor
pulled her right shoe off and stepped onto the mat. The first number
visible beyond her foot was 8. The shoe in her hand was a 6. So that
wasn't going to work. She put the shoe back and ran her finger down the
column of boxes. Second from the bottom was a box with a large 8 printed
on the side. Taylor pulled it out and sat down on the floor. She took her
other shoe off and tried to put the new ones on. They weren't like any
other shoes she had ever worn. There were a lot of straps, but after she
pulled them tight her foot was pretty securely held in place. The second
shoe was a lot easier to put on.
Taylor tried to stand up but couldn't. The wedges held her ankles at such
an angle that she couldn't get the leverage to stand up. She turned over
until she was on her hands and toes. Then she walked her feet forward
until she was crouched. She tightened her thighs lifting herself up.
"don't fall," she mumbled over and over again as she stood up. She put
her hand on the shelf to stabilize herself and walked slowly to the
mirror. The shoes looked good. She looked good. This was Taylor's first
experience with heels. She liked the way her legs and ass looked. She
took another few steps. It was easier to walk than she had feared it
would be. she thought the width of the heels might help keep her stable.
Hunter sat at the table in the food court and poked at his plate of beans
and rice with his spork. Of the six stalls in the food court only four
were occupied. One was the saddest McDonalds he'd ever see. Another was a
coffee bar. The last two were a pizzeria and the "Cajun Caf?" where half
the menu seemed to have been stolen from a Chinese restaurant. The beans
and rice was the last part of combo #3 left on his plate. "that was a
mistake" he thought. The food wasn't sitting right in his stomach. He
pushed the plate away from himself and stood up. The two-minute warning
ripped through his head and he ran over to the bathroom. He didn't make
it to the stall. He bent over the sink and vomited convulsively. His
peripheral vision caught a red light blinking. "oh fuck," he thought. The
automatic faucet turned on full blast. The water pressure splashed into
the vomitus. Hunter just had time to close his eyes. He felt the droplets
hit his face. He stood up and opened his eyes. He was lucky. most of the
splash was water, most of it was. There were a couple of globs of chewed
chicken stuck to his cheek.
Hunter washed his face with the crusty hand soap from the dispenser. He
felt a little better, but wasn't sure how long that would last. He dried
his hands and face and walked back out to the dining area. Sitting right
there at his table was Taylor. She waved to him. She was eating the beans
and rice. Hunter walked back over in time to see Taylor scrap the last of
the rice onto the spork and eat it. Taylor's expression changed as he
approached.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
He shook his head. "No, I'm not."
"I think it was something I ate," he continued.
Taylor looked at the now empty plate. She shrugged and said, "I have a
goat's stomach." Her voice softened. "Let's get you home." Hunter didn't
say anything. he just nodded. He looked down at the floor noticing for
the first time the wedge sandals she was wearing. Taylor stood up and
hunter noticed the added height. Even with the heels though she wasn't as
tall as Tyler had been. She picked up all of her bags. Hunter had a brief
moment of chivalric shame, but a surge of nausea drove it from him. They
walked out of the mall and into the parking lot. They were heading
towards hunter's car. Hunter was having trouble putting one foot in front
of the other.
Taylor put her hand out and said, "Give me the keys." Unfortunately for
both of them, right at that moment hunter had another bout of nausea and
threw up...into Taylor's hand. The look of revulsion on her face would
have devastated him, but Hunter was too ill to feel much embarrassment.
Taylor for her part was obviously grossed out. more than that, she was
concerned for her friend. Hunter looked at her out stretched hand covered
in his vomitus. He glanced up and saw some splatter on her stomach and
her shirt. He closed his eyes and mumbled to himself. "Fuck!" He reached
into his pocket and pulled out the car's key fob and held it out to
Taylor.
She took the fob and thumbed the locks open. She guided him to the door
and Hunter sat/fell into the passenger seat. Taylor walked to the back of
the car and popped the trunk open. It was empty except for a gym bag and
a towel in the corner, which she used to clean her hand off. She put her
shopping bags into the trunk and closed it. She walked around and got
into the driver's seat. She quickly adjusted the seats and mirrors before
driving off.
The drive to Hunter's house took a little more than ten minutes. She
parked in the driveway. She looked over at Hunter. He seemed to be doing
better. He was able to climb out of the car unassisted and walked a few
feet into the yard. Taylor walked around the car and wrapped her arm
around his waist. She wasn't strong enough to lift him, but she didn't
have to. All she had to do was keep him steady. He wrapped his arm around
her shoulder. It wasn't the least bit romantic, but it still felt nice.
She liked feeling him against her body.
She guided him to the door. Taylor heard the electric lock withdraw the
bolts. she carried hunter inside. She helped him up the stairs to his
room. She lay him on his bed and rolled him into the recovery position.
She thought about the bags in the car and the several miles to her house.
She pulled the key fob out of her pocket and looked back and forth
between it and Hunter. She leaned down and kissed his forehead. "I'm
borrowing your car to get home," she said.
"Mmahhg," he replied. She pursed her lips and fished her phone out of her
pocket. She tapped out a text to him. "I took your car to get home. Feel
better." She walked out of Hunter's room and pulled the door shut behind
her.
"Taylor, hello," said Hunter's dad.
"Oh hi Mr. ******," Taylor said.
"Call me Dave," said Dave.
Taylor was nonplussed by that. Hunter's dad had always been a stickler
for formality. She waved her hand at the door. "Hunter's a little sick.
He threw up earlier," she said.
Dave said, "That's unfortunate. Can I offer you a ride home?" Taylor was
again nonplussed. Yet again a man volunteered to do something for her
without her actually asking.
"ah yes, thank you," she replied. "I have some things in Hunter's car's
trunk." She held out the key fob.
He took it from her. His eyes flicked down to the keys and then back to
her face. Taylor couldn't be sure, but she thought his eyes paused on her
chest. She followed him down the stairs and out to Hunter's car. Taylor
pointed the way, as they drove to her house.
They parked on the street in front of her house. Taylor climbed out of
the car and walked to the back of the car, but "Dave" was already there.
He had the trunk open and was lifting out most of the bags. Taylor went
to the trunk and picked up the last two bags. "Thank you so much," she
said and smiled.
"It was my pleasure," he said with a goofy smile on his face.
Taylor unlocked the door and walked inside. Dave following behind her. At
the last moment, Taylor decided to avoid her bedroom. She set the two
bags she was carrying down in the living room and he placed the ones he
was carrying next to them. She walked him back to the door and shut it
behind him. She put her hands on her hips and laughed to herself quickly.
That smile dropped off her face as she thought about what she was
planning. She'd much rather have stayed with hunter than face what she
was going to do, but victor had been explicit. The timing didn't need to
be too precise, but the longer she waited the less likely that it would
work. No it had to be now.
She picked up some of the bags and carried them up to her room. three
trips later and they were all upstairs. She went through the bags one by
one hanging up the clothes in the closet. She glanced around her room. It
was strange. The room was the same as always. It was still Tyler's room.
Right down to the Victoria's Secret calendar on the wall. "I wonder if my
parents think I'm a lesbian." She thought. She looked at the calendar, at
the Brazilian model posing in her underwear. She still felt a charge
looking at the picture, but the fantasy played out differently now. She
didn't fondle the model, instead she imagined a hand sliding up the bare
skin of her waist moving from there to tiny scrap of fabric across her
hips. The hand settled onto her butt and pulled. She stepped forward and
looked up into the face of her would be ravisher. It was Hunter, of
course. She had fallen hard for him. only now was she starting to realize
the true depth of those feelings.
Frowning, she opened her eyes and looked down at herself. She didn't want
to do this, but she had to. She had already made up her mind.
"let's get this over with," she mumbled to herself.
She stripped down to her bra and panties. She paused to look at herself
in the mirror. She was beautiful. That wasn't bragging it was simply a
fact. She was slowly getting used to her new reflection. She reached up
and unsnapped the bra, letting it fall away and then she slid the panties
down her legs. She looked at her naked body. It was a nice body. She
frowned again. Tonight she was going to not only let Greg touch her. She
was going to encourage it. She was going to seduce him.
Taylor had an attack of shame at that, she was going to let him claim her
as his property, again! She flashed back to the night before. She could
feel Greg's hands on her body. She could feel his weight press her into
the mattress.
She blinked back some tears. She hadn't been able to fight him off. She
failed so badly that he probably hadn't realized she was fighting. She
looked at herself again. She had changed so much even in the day since
the rape. She sobbed briefly and then laughed. Her emotions were
overwhelming, but an oddly comforting thought bubbled up to the surface
of her mind: it wasn't her. Her body had changed. Her breasts were
bigger, her hips wider, her waist narrower, and her skin softer. Last
night Her body had enticed him; but he had never laid a finger on this
body. She pushed back on the shame she felt. She wasn't surrendering to
Greg. She was seeking revenge. She was attacking him. She was honest
enough to admit that. It wasn't about justice. It was revenge.
Taylor reached up and pulled the rubber band off of her hair, wincing as
it dragged on the strands. She ran her fingers through her hair,
straightening it. The tips hung down almost to her waist. She turned to
the side and looked at her ass.
"I can do this," she thought. She walked naked to the bathroom and turned
the shower on. She turned the temperature up high to just before the
point where it started to burn. She washed every inch of her body slowly,
and then started over twice. It was ritualistic. She was separating
herself from her body. For tonight it wasn't her body. It was a weapon to
be used against her enemies. Every movement of her hands whether building
or rinsing the lather away was one more act of dissociation.
She climbed out of the shower and dried off. Tyler hadn't owned a hair
dryer, but she was sure her mother had one. She wrapped the wet towel she
had used to dry her body around her hair. She wrapped a second one around
her hips and burst out laughing at herself. That wasn't enough anymore.
It was "indecent" for her to walk around with her chest uncovered. The
next five minutes were a comedic attempt by her to figure out how to wrap
the towel around her breasts in a way that stayed up and covered her
crotch. this wasn't helped by the fact that covering her breasts used a
large part of the material of the towel.
In the end after screaming in frustration she gave up and duct taped the
two sides of the towel together. She then quick walked to her parent's
bathroom grabbed the hair drier and headed back to her room. She wasn't
sure how to use it other than aim and "shoot", but focus and luck
combined to give an amateurish windswept look to her hair.
next came makeup. Tyler hadn't owned any and even if she had bought some.
She had no idea what she was doing. She debated going back and stealing
some of her mother's makeup and trying to do something with it. In the
end though she decided a "natural" look would be better than the clown
face she would probably wind with if she tried. She did however steal a
tube of bright red lipstick.
By now she was shivering; the towel didn't provide much insulation. She
was also late. The party wouldn't be hitting its stride for a couple of
hours yet, but her parents would be home soon and she didn't want them to
see the outfit she was planning to wear. She was a teenager heading to a
high school party. She didn't think she could pull off a fancy dress
which left going slutty. She chose a pair of jeans so tight that she had
to hold her breath to fasten them. She picked a black bra and a black
tank top that left a ludicrous amount of skin visible. She put the wedge
sandals from earlier back on and promptly tripped. "FUCK!" she screamed.
"no heels," she mumbled to herself. She pulled the wedges off and rubbed
her ankles. She pulled out a pair of sneakers with a one inch built up
heel from the bag. She put the new shoes on and took a few tentative
steps. The one-inch heel wasn't that big, but it still changed the way
she walked and stood. Her balance was different. She could feel tension
in her muscles and tendons. Tipping her foot forward even that little bit
seemed to relieve some of the pain in her ankle. She left her hair down
looked at her phone and grimaced at the time. She had to go.
***
Hunter groaned and rolled over. He'd been vomiting intermittently for the
last few hours. His stomach was completely empty and he was sore. He
stood and walked slowly to the bathroom. He washed his face and brushed
his teeth. Afterwards There was still a bad taste in his mouth. Now it
was mixed with the synthetic peppermint of the tooth paste. His whole
body was sore, every joint was stiff. He walked, shuffled really, back to
his room.
His father came up the stairs and said, "Hunter. How are you feeling?"
Hunter felt a bubbling in his gut, but it was less than before. He felt
exhausted as though he'd been exercising all day rather than lying in
bed. "Fine," he said, "better I think."
His dad held out a yogurt and a spoon. "A little yogurt would help settle
your stomach."
Hunter nodded and took the yogurt.
"I drove your friend Taylor home a few hours ago," he said, "she told me
that you got food poisoning at the mall today?"
Hunter nodded. "Don't order the Cajun chicken."
They both chuckled. Hunter lifted the yogurt and said, "Thanks." He
started walking back to his room.
"Feel better?" his dad called after him. Hunter shuffled back to his room
and climbed into bed. He didn't lie down though. He opened the yogurt and
gingerly started eating it. One careful bite at a time. Slowly he ate the
whole container. With each bite he felt a little better. His stomach
didn't hurt as much and the protein in the yogurt started to bring his
energy level back up.
He drifted off to sleep for a while. Hunter woke up to use the bathroom.
Walking passed a window he saw it was dark outside now. For the first
time he didn't dry heave as he approached the toilet. He still felt a
little weak, but nothing like before. Lying on the floor next to the
toilet was his phone. He picked up it up and noticed a text alert from
Taylor. "I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for coming shopping with
me. I had fun just being with you."
Hunter swallowed at that. He too had really enjoyed spending time with
her. There was more to the text. "I hope you can forgive me for what I
have to do. Just know whatever you think of me, that I would rather have
stayed with you." Hunter's eyes froze at that.
He felt his penis stir at the thought of being with her. Then his eyes
slipped back a few words. "Forgive" and "have to" stood out. Suddenly it
occurred to hunter what she was trying to tell him. She was going to fuck
Greg and turn back into Tyler.
Hunter's stomach clenched as he thought that. Part of him felt guilty to
be opposed to getting his friend back, but that was dumb. His friend was
still there. Taylor was the same person. besides he was pretty sure that
he loved her. He didn't think he could stop her, but he knew he had to
talk to her.
He dressed quickly and walked out to his car. He was in a hurry, but he
drove slowly. the motions of the car were bringing back his nausea.
Taylor's house was pretty close though so the drive was only a couple
minutes longer than usual. Hunter parked right in front of her house. It
was a little smaller than his and on a smaller lot. He walked up to the
door and rang the bell. There was no response. He gave it five minutes,
but there was still no response. He pulled his phone out and with a few
taps was able to bring up the gps data from Taylor's phone.
In less than a minute a map appeared with a dot near an intersection on
the other side of town. He got back into his car and drove off. It was a
much nicer neighborhood than the ones where Taylor or he lived. The lawns
were expansive, bright green and meticulously landscaped. There was a
cluster of cars towards the end of the street. He pulled to the curb and
locked the car. He cut across the grass and headed towards the house. He
could hear sounds coming from the back of the house including what
sounded like splashes he walked around the corner and noticed an in
ground pool with a Jacuzzi next to it. Sitting in the Jacuzzi were Greg
and Taylor. He was shirtless and she was wearing a black bikini. Hunter
felt like he'd been punched in the stomach. He didn't like seeing Taylor
with Greg. He tried to tell himself that it was for her sake, but looking
at the two of them he felt burning jealousy. Taylor's hands were running
up and down Greg's chest. Hunter's jealousy spiked up again. Greg had a
much better body than him.
Hunter tasted bile at the back of his throat. He had failed her again.
Every step of the way along her transformation he had not only failed to
help her; he had made it all worse. It only now occurred to hunter what
Taylor must be thinking. If she still had the curse and they slept
together she would have passed it to Hunter. He now felt foolish and
realized that he shouldn't have come. Unfortunately for hunter, it was at
that moment that Taylor looked up and saw him. Greg followed her gaze and
saw hunter crouching in the bushes.
"what the fuck?!" shouted Greg. He climbed out of the Jacuzzi. hunter
took advantage of the brief moment of Greg turning his back to wink at
Taylor. It was all he could do. He was pretty sure Greg was going to kick
the shit out of him, but he didn't want Taylor upset or distracted.
Taylor saw hunter sneaking onto the property. Greg next to her shouted
and started to climb out of the hot tub. Taylor was a little slow so she
didn't fully process what was going on. She just sat there. Taylor was a
little slow so she didn't fully process what was going on. She just sat
there and then hunter winked. Given their angles she was pretty sure Greg
hadn't seen, but she didn't know what it meant.
Greg angrily walked across the grass toward hunter. Taylor and Hunter
locked eyes. He spoke, "Taylor I love you. Please don't sleep with him."
Taylor felt a stab of rage. What was wrong with him, didn't he know this
was hard enough for her as it was.
Greg bellowed like an enraged bull and sped up. Hunter's eyes flicked
back and forth between Greg and Taylor. He looked oddly calm as Greg's
fist swung through the air and struck Hunter in the jaw. Hunter
collapsed. Greg swung his foot and kicked Hunter in the stomach. Taylor
was grateful that he was barefoot that probably cut the force of the
kick.
Hunter's eyes flicked back to her and once again he winked. Suddenly
Taylor understood. Hunter was trying to help her. Greg was very
territorial. The easiest way to make Greg want something was to let him
take it away from someone else.
Hunter was giving her the chance to snag Greg's attention, but it wasn't
enough on its own. She would have to do her part. She climbed out of the
hot tub. Her skin tingled partly from the alcohol, partly from the cold
air. She stumbled towards hunter and Greg. She could feel the eyes of the
other party goers on her.
She regretted the added humiliation of those spectators, which was
stupid, since that was the very thing that would make it work. She was
also starting to sober up, but decided to play up her drunkenness. She
"stumbled" across the lawn. She walked up to hunter and Greg. The fact
that both of them were openly staring at her tits no longer bothered her.
She looked down at Hunter who lay crumpled on the ground. He looked up at
her. She hardened her heart. "You stalker freak!" she screamed hating
herself, but she continued anyways. "What gives you the right to follow
me." She then spit on him. She turned away, but thought she saw hunter
actually smile at her. He understood what she was doing and he forgave
her.
Greg slid his arm around her shoulder. She jumped a little, but forced
herself to relax into him. "It's okay baby. He's not worth it." Taylor
couldn't help herself, she laughed. Her mind flipped the sentence. She
pretended Hunter was talking about Greg. She sobbed and folded herself
into Greg's muscly chest. He wrapped his arm tighter around her chest.
His hand snuck inside her bikini top. It served her purposes, but she was
still a little surprised at how ballsy he was. Greg pulled her towards
the house and took her inside. Greg didn't say anything just steered her
passed the other party goers and up the stairs. Soon they were alone in a
room with a queen-sized bed. The room was neutrally decorated; there were
no personal touches. It was probably a guest room. "I don't warrant being
taken to his bedroom," she thought. She felt slighted, but then again the
last thing she wanted was emotional intimacy.
Without saying a word, Greg pulled her swimsuit off and threw her onto
the bed. He pulled down his own swim trunks. He grabbed her ankles and
pulled her to the side of the bed. "This is it," she thought.
Taylor couldn't bring herself to look Greg in the face. She concentrated
on his penis. It pulsed in front of her face. It was already firm. She
reached out and took it in her hand. She ran her thumb along the bottom
of the shaft. It grew bigger. She slipped the tip of her thumb under the
foreskin. It swelled again. She stood and guided Greg to sit on the edge
of the bed. She kneeled in front of him and leaned forward.
She leaned forward and kissed the tip. Greg groaned. Taylor shut her eyes
and let her mind drift. In her head she shifted things around; she
replaced Greg with hunter. That made it tolerable to be here doing this.
She still felt the revulsion and fear of being with Greg, but she was
able to move past that terror. Hunter was with her in her heart and she
drew strength from that. She shifted her weight and repositioned herself
on her knees in between Greg's legs. She stuck her tongue out and ran it
around the tip. She moved forward again and ran her tongue across the
glans just reaching the edge of the foreskin.
"Here goes nothing," thought Taylor, "well maybe something." She planted
her lips on the tip. She pushed fo
