Julia had been spending almost every evening at the Tee since Mary checked in. She had a strong desire to pull off some kind of miracle for Lindsey. Now, she had given Barbara free rein to work with the Halls together. She still found it hard to believe she had agreed to take such a risk. She had told Barbara not to tell her what was going on. Sill, she needed to be close by in case something blew up.
Lindsey had been on pins and needles since coming back from dinner over on the men's side. Seeing Julia, she had tried to approach her twice, but hung back both times.
Julia was nothing if not observant, and she noticed Lindsey's agitation. When she had finished talking to a few other people, she put her arm over the girl's shoulder and led her to the staff lounge, which was empty. There, she just gave Lindsey a questioning look.
"That obvious, huh?" Lindsey asked, sheepishly.
"Hey, I'm a pro, remember?" Julia chuckled. Still, she waited, making Lindsey take the lead.
"Is... is there any way Mark could get off to come to the concert with me this weekend? Even if it was only for Saturday?" Lindsey asked with her head down.
Julia put a hand under Lindsey's chin and raised her head so she could look in her eyes. "It's time, isn't it?" Julia almost whispered the question. Lindsey blushed deeply and tried to lower her face again.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Julia said as she wrapped her in a hug. "Don't be embarrassed. This is a wonderful occasion." She just held the hug and rocked back and forth gently.
"You know," Julia spoke softy right into Lindsey's ear, "Frank and I never had children. That's OK, because we could never have done better than you guys. I'm so happy for you I could bust. You are more than ready, believe me. Here's the deal. If Mark shows up here between Wednesday night and the next Tuesday afternoon, he is fired, OK? I'll log him for fifteen hours."
Lindsey was sniffling a little and returning the hug, unable even to say 'thank you'. Julia asked "Tell me, why now? Why not back at the retreat? I was sure it would happen then."
Lindsey had become rather addicted to loving hugs from women she cared about. It was like trying to recover from starvation. Between Norma, Barbara, and Julia, she got lots of them, but never too many. It wasn't sexual, just expressing honest feelings. No way did she want to quit hugging Julia right then.
"I hate to admit it, Julia, but it's because of my parents. I thought I was free of them, but their opinion of my having sex still held me back. I tried to deny it for a long time, but..."
"So what changed?" Julia asked, already knowing the answer, but wanting Lindsey to verbalize it.
"It's just... I don't care about what they think any more. This weekend just showed how screwed up their ideas on sex are. I ended up asking myself why I should even care what they thought of my sex life when they don't have a clue about the whole subject."
"Was that all?" Again, Julia was sure there was more.
"No. We kind of made it impossible for them to act all virtuous any more, didn't we?" Lindsey giggled after saying that, and the hug broke naturally. "Right now, they're feeling too sinful about their own actions say anything about mine. I feel free!"
"I predict you will do your best concert ever. I wish I could be there to hear it," Julia lamented.
"I do, too. I wish all my friends could be there. When we sing here, the Tee will have the whole front row, OK?"
Julia barely waited for Lindsey to leave the lounge before pulling her ever-present phone from the pocket of her uniform shorts and dialing.
Naturally, Lindsey went straight to Mark and told him he was going to the concert with her, and it was all squared with Julia.
"But the plane ticket will be ridiculous at the last minute," he objected.
"You let me worry about that," she said, punctuating it with a kiss.
"I don't want to be spending all your money," he said rather sternly.
"Mark Ventri," she said, trying to sound cross, "if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have anything, and you know it. It's OUR money."
Lindsey hugged him in silence for a while, forgetting their usual caution about PDAs at work. "After this weekend, Honey, 'ours' will have a different meaning. The meaning we've always wanted it to have."
"Are you saying... ?" She just beamed up at him and nodded.
"Oh, God, Lindsey!" He threw caution to the wind and kissed her hard enough to dissolve her backbone.
Much as she wanted to stay and rejoice, Lindsey had some serious studying to do. Mark had overnight duty, so they parted, very reluctantly.
Barbara had just come back from the men's side on her search for condoms. She had dispatched Andy to purchase some, and was about to go back to the men's side to sleep when she noticed that something momentous had happened between Lindsey and Mark
Even her weary brain was able to figure it out. The most important issue between the two young lovers was their virginity. No other subject could have caused them to act that way at work. Lindsey must have told him she was ready. Barbara could understand how the afternoon's skinny dip with the Ventris and the Halls could have triggered that decision. She was doubly glad she had strong-armed Lindsey into joining in.
She called to Mark and asked him to come over with her for a little while. He quickly checked to make sure nothing required his attention. She slipped an arm around him and held him close as they walked. He was not at all surprised to be led to the massage table.
She waited until he had worked for several minutes before she asked "Where is it going to happen?"
"At the concert this... You witch!" he emphasized his words with a light slap on her bare ass. "I'm not even going to ask how you knew. I don't believe in ESP, anyway."
"I'm so happy for you I could bust," she told him, "and I'm proud to think I might have helped the cause along."
"Yeah, I have a feeling the swim this afternoon was the last straw. Thank you for setting that up." This time, there was no slap, but a very sensual caress over both cheeks.
"Hmmm. Don't make promises you can't keep, Sweetie. Especially now."
He worked on her in silence for a while, and she thought that strange. "I would think you would be just bubbling over, but you're awfully quiet."
"It's just that your body leaves me speechless," he quipped.
"You can't possibly be trying to sweet-talk your way into my panties with the big event only a few days away," she shot back.
"Your panties?" he said, and ran his middle finger as far down her crack as her closed legs would allow. All she could do was giggle.
"It's probably just wishful thinking," he mused after working a while longer, "but I wish there was some way I could get her a ring. I think it would be especially meaningful to her to have it before."
"Oh?"
"Her virginity is incredibly meaningful to her. It almost makes me cry to think she is willing to give it to me. But you know, I have this fear that she might always feel that she has sinned. She knows we are committed to each other, and everything, but you just can't get rid of a lifetime of propaganda."
"So, the ring would make the commitment more official, and make the guilt less likely?" Barbara asked.
"Well, maybe I do believe in ESP," he joked, then seriously "Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Suddenly, Barbara flipped over, and before he knew it, Mark was firmly pinned between those unbelievable breasts, and she was stammering through tears. "I... I always thought my br... brother was one of a k... kind. I'm so glad the world has b... been blessed with another. God, I'm so proud of you, Mark! I love you so much!"
After more wordless hugging and tears, she continued "Unfortunately for me, Norma and Lindsey got the two best men out there. But I can still help. You are going to get her that ring! I've got some money that could never have a better use. You can pay me back whenever. I just wish I could go and help you pick it out."
"Barbara, you don't..."
"Don't even try to tell me what I don't need to do. I need it more than you can imagine. Mark, Honey, this will let me share a piece of some real happiness. Can't you see that?"
Mark could, and he told her so with a kiss that was well beyond the normal intensity between aunt and nephew.
Barbara had set an alarm to get her up well before breakfast on Tuesday. She intended to wake the Halls and make sure they made up for the sex they missed the night before.
She had taken on the job of 'corrupting' Lindsey's parents for the best of reasons. First of all, she wanted to help Lindsey. After last night, she knew she had already succeeded. In addition, she wanted to help Transformations send the Halls away much better than when they arrived. She was not an employee, but she felt the same sense of mission they all did.
Somehow, she could not find the fervor that morning. She was a strong, persuasive person, but she got no thrill from coercing people. As much as her feelings toward Mary and Floyd had softened, they still were not the people she would choose to spend her time with.
Yawning, stretching, and scratching a little, she wondered if this was how Julia felt sometimes about her patients. Did she ever have to psyche herself up for a session with a patient she would rather not see? At least she didn't have to look at such pathetic bodies unclad.
The other thing bothering her was how far to carry the parent/child role she had adapted with them. They were, after all, adults with some life experience, including two children. She shouldn't have to tell Floyd where to put it in, should she?
But the big question was, what would happen if she wimped out now? Would the Halls fall back into their familiar mode, or had she already started the process of real change? Idly tossing the package of condoms that seemed so essential the night before, she reached a decision.
Moving quietly into the Halls' dark room, she debated for a moment which one to waken. Ordinarily, she would follow the rule 'if it concerns sex, go with the woman', but nothing was as it should be with the Halls. Because she found it less distasteful to put her hand on Mary to wake her, that's what she did.
When she had at least minimal attention, she said to Mary "I'll lay these condoms on the nightstand. I think you should use one of them before you come to breakfast. If you do, make sure he makes you orgasm first. If you need help getting the condom on, I'll be over on the machines."
Carol served breakfast to Barbara, Mary, and Floyd. She hung around being sociable until Barbara gave her an eye signal. She refreshed things for everyone and left, saying she had to start cleanup on the other side.
Barbara had gotten a pretty good look at Floyd's penis when they came to the table, and she was pretty sure they had had sex. Mary's rather placid demeanor was more evidence. "Can I assume you used a condom?" Barbara asked diplomatically.
Though her blush answered adequately, Mary nodded. Barbara was going to ask Mary, but switched to question to Floyd. "I assume you satisfied your wife, Floyd?" He nodded soberly, with just a flash of irritation at the question.
"Do you folks understand why I acted the way I did yesterday?" Barbara asked. When neither chose to respond, she went on. "I did it to get you out of your comfort zone. I am not really like that, as I think Mary knows." Mary actually nodded. "I really do not want to have to be like that any more." She let that sink in. "But believe me, I will if it is necessary."
"Look, you two," Barbara went on. "You have four days and nights of what should be a dream for a married couple. You have this whole place to yourselves. I will even make myself scarce if things are going well. But here's what needs to happen. I have no doubt you two love each other, but I don't see much evidence of passion."
"Now, I don't know if the passion was once there and just died out, or if it was never really there. Maybe you think passion is wrong and shouldn't be there. No matter what, I want you to experience some passion before you have to go back with the women on Saturday, Mary."
"Excuse my crude language, but here's what I want. I want you to fuck until his dick falls off or her pussy swells shut. I want to order two more boxes of condoms for you."
Floyd spoke up for the first time. "But Barbara, that's just not the way we have viewed marriage."
"Don't I know it! And I'm telling you that's why you're having to watch your family fall apart. If you two have no passion for each other, you end up not feeling much about anything. I shouldn't speak for Lindsey, but I think she considers you both heartless and doctrinaire." Barbara watched both faces sink at that accusation, but neither one protested.
"OK, so that's not the way you view marriage. Maybe you think fucking more than once a month is sinful. Mary, I'm pretty sure you think enjoying sex is sinful. Well, tough! You're here partly as punishment. Pretend sex is great and you can't get enough of it for four days. It's not your fault because I'm forcing you."
"When you are separated on Saturday, if you decide you were right in the first place, fine. Lose your weight, build your muscles, change your eating habits, and get the Hell out of here. I think that would be a tragedy, but it IS your choice. They will be back to being your bodies and you can deprive them any way you want to."
"I would love to have you two make love until you drop because you want to. Maybe that is too much to ask. But make no mistake about it, you are going to have sex, a lot of it!"
"If I have to, I will get Terry over here to hold you down and warm you up, Mary. I will personally get you hard, Floyd, get the rubber on, and help you stick it in. I understand there are interesting ways to make a man come even when he doesn't want to." Barbara saw his penis twitch at that, and paused to let him get control. She had decided she would stop getting him hard on purpose if they cooperated.
'So, what will it be? Can I do my exercises and work on my real estate and leave you two alone to see how much sex you can handle? Or do I have be in your faces and in your pants every minute and embarrass you and make you hate me?"
Barbara found it frustrating that they had to look at each other before answering, but they did both nod. "Good. I do not like to have people hating me. We may never be close friends, but I would like to have you think I honestly tried to help you."
After lunch, Barbara waited until she could get Mary alone. "Did it at least feel a little bit good this morning, Mary?"
First giving Barbara a long look, Mary said. "I think you know it felt more than a little bit good. That's what my whole problem has been. It has always felt good and I've always felt guilty about it."
"Can you allow yourself to just let it feel good for a few days?"
"I'm trying to. I really am," Mary insisted. "I don't like that condom, though."
"Would you rather have your belly swelling from a baby before it even shrinks from losing weight?" That triggered a look of resignation.
"You were, um, right about our bellies getting in the way. What were you saying about different, uh, positions?" Barbara gave her a detailed explanation of some things they could do.
"Barbara, I've been trying not to think about it, but I really do look awful. What if I can't excite him?"
"Then you'll have to depend on more than just your looks." That seemed to stump Mary completely. "What do you see when Lindsey and Mark are together. What does Lindsey do?"
With a little snort, Mary said "She can't keep her hands off of him."
"Right. Do you think Mark likes it? Do you think it excites him?"
"Yes, and she shouldn't do that!" Mary insisted.
"Why don't you do those things to Floyd?"
"Oh, I couldn't. I mean we're grown up and everything. It's, it's just not proper."
"Well, how about Carol and Ryan, their adults."
"But their newlyweds."
"Then what about Norma and Paul. They've been married as long as you have. Do you think it is offensive the way act toward each other? I saw you watching them a lot yesterday."
"No, they didn't offend me. They were just so, so comfortable about it. Casual."
"It's like breathing to them, just like with Lindsey. You know, I haven't even seen you two holding hands. Try this for me. When you're with Floyd, try to act like Lindsey would with Mark. Can you do that?"
"I don't know. I... I'll try."
"One other thing. I'll make sure we take a hot tub together tonight. While we're in there, I want you to casually play with his penis."
"But he'll get hard!"
"Of course. Don't worry. I've seen it hard already. Then try this. Bring a condom to the hot tub with you and lay it on the chaise. When you have gotten him good and hard, I'll go to my room."
"Get out of the tub, go get the condom, and hold it out to him. Tell him he doesn't even have to make you come first if he will do it right there."
"Out in the open. Oh, no! I could never!"
"Why not? No one will see. Believe me. It will add some excitement and make it better."
"Oooooh" was all Mary said, but there was a look of interest.
Barbara left the Halls alone and was on the women's side when Mark arrived after school. Lindsey had to go to Jenny's for a rehearsal. Mark was barely in the door when Barbara told him "Margo Ballard will be here in ten minutes. She's taking you ring shopping. I've never met her, but she seems very nice."
"She and Hank are the ones who wrote Lindsey's songs. You two will get along great. She's another real classy lady."
"What are you trying to do to me?" Barbara almost shrieked. "You keep saying these things that make me all gushy. I can't even mash your face in my boobs with all these people around."
As soon as Mark got in her car, Margo told him "I hope you don't mind too much. I already picked out a stone. You just have to choose the setting."
"I think I should let you do that, Margo. I've never seen you in anything that didn't look perfect."
"Flatterer. But wouldn't Lindsey appreciate it more if it's your choice, since she won't get the chance to pick it herself?"
"I think she will appreciate me being smart enough to let an expert choose for her."
Margo just laughed. When they got to the jeweler's, Mark made a fuss about the stone being too big and expensive, but Margo did not let him get by with that. She threatened to tell Barbara on him, and that was all it took. Margo laid out a half dozen settings and insisted he pick one. She told him, honestly, that his choice would have been hers, as well. Barbara had gotten a tracing of a costume ring of Lindsey's when she took it off for the pool, so they were all set to have it sized.
Mark's head was spinning as Margo drove him back to the Tee. He was delighted with everything that was happening, but it was still a lot to absorb. He could barely remember what his life was like a year earlier. Frankly, he had no desire to replay any of it. Today was awesome and the future could not look better.
Barbara beat the Halls to the table for supper. As they walked up, she saw Mary take Floyd's hand rather shyly. He, in turn, blushed, but held on. Unbelievable!
Both she and Gretchen, who was serving supper, were conscious of not being at all dominant with Floyd. Barbara had explained the Halls' willingness to try things, and thought he deserved a chance to recapture some dignity as a reward.
Maybe dignity wasn't a realistic term, Barbara thought. How could a man be dignified waddling around naked in a body like that? Reduced humiliation was probably within reach. Still, she had given Mary the big lecture about dignity having nothing to do with how she looked. Shouldn't that apply to Floyd, too?
As they ate, Mary made two or three other little affectionate moves. It looked like she had to plan each of them out, but at least she did them. Along with her hidden amusement and pity, Barbara felt a little pride in her 'pupil'.
Later, in the hot tub, Mary actually did it. Barbara had seen her twitching and squirming, as if battling within herself. She moved as close to her husband as she could get and looked at Barbara. A touch of defiance crossed her face, and her hand almost jerked over to Floyd's lap.
Much as she wanted to see what happened, Barbara knew her main objective was best served by giving them some privacy. She closed her eyes and laid her head back as if she had no idea what was happening under the water.
Standing and stretching, still pointedly not looking at Floyd, she stretched and wriggled. She thought it wouldn't hurt to add a little extra stimulation for his arousal. She knew that her body affected him. With one quick glance at both of them, she said 'good night' and stepped from the tub. She took a quick rinse under the shower, and headed toward her room.
Looking back to make sure no one was watching her, she slipped into the closest room to the hot tub, which was dark and empty. Feeling only a little guilty, she left the door open just enough so she could see the tub area, and pulled the side chair over so she could sit and watch. This was research, after all.
What Barbara saw confirmed her already growing belief in immersion therapy. It was not a complete turnaround by any means, but Mary was definitely trying. Her four weeks had at least made her willing to experience things she had once considered forbidden. Barbara suspected the sexual activity in the last two days had piqued a latent desire in her, or at least a strong curiosity.
While the the signs of Mary's desire to try were encouraging, watching her in action was rather poignant. There is a compelling grace to a woman expressing affection or passion. Her natural, instinctive movements are beautiful and arousing. Mary lacked that grace. It was evident that her moves were not at all instinctive.
The conflict in her mind could be clearly seen in her actions. She had discovered that sex could feel very good, yet her upbringing still screamed that it should not, that she should not let it. Probably from watching the example of her own daughter and the other couples working at the Tee, she knew the women were happy when they showed affection. She wanted to feel that way.
[Muriel & Clark] Early December Clark was elated when Muriel told him about their weekend. He had loved her deeply since he first met her. She had been married, then, and his sense of honor had prevented him from ever revealing his feelings. When she became widowed and penniless, he helped her and Dale out of natural human concern and kindness. At the same time, he had hoped that someday he might earn her attentions. Although he had never married, Clark had been in an eight year...
They were not even onto the freeway yet when Andy pulled out his phone and called Julia. He spent several minutes explaining how he knew Andi and how they had picked her up. Julia asked if she had any pills with her, and when asked, Andi said 'no' and started to cry. Julia then asked if she knew what the pills were, getting a tearful shake of the head. Julia told Andy that there was not much she could do to help the girl. It was going to be a very, very rough night. She warned him that...
[Dale] Early May Dale had always run for conditioning, but in the last miserable week, since finding out about the cancellation of his scholarship, he had stretched out the distance because it was the closest thing to a drug that he would ever indulge in. He needed it now more than at any time since the plane crash. It was a week and a half until finals, and then, his world would undergo another wrenching change. Even though he had known since the first few weeks that he really did not...
Sleep came only in frustratingly short bursts for Barbara that Friday night before she checked in to Transformations. Remembering the one big erotic adventure of her life had not made sleep any easier. Oh, it was a wonderful memory, but it was another time, and she wore another body then. Her ex, whom she had been so in love with, had taken the last vestiges of pride in her body with him when he abandoned her. After several short, unrefreshing snoozes, she went to the bathroom, then rummaged...
After fainting on her date with the doctor, which was definitely going to be her last date with him, Chelly had a day off and called in sick the following day. With what was going on in her head, she was not safe around patients. The emotional drain from finally admitting that her whole sexual life had been spent seeking the wrong kind of man was devastating. She could not get the restaurant manager's words out of her mind when she came to in his office. He had assumed she was a hooker....
[Missy] March Missy should have felt frightened, or miserable, or something. Instead, she felt mostly numb. Truthfully, she felt a little bit of satisfaction, too. Melanie Farnsworth, her mother, actually looked like she had tears in her eyes! Of course, those could not be tears of sorrow for her daughter. They would be tears of frustration that her efforts to make something of the girl had taken a major setback. Missy's father, James Farnsworth, just looked grim. James Farnsworth looked...
[Rachel & Naomi] Early September The late evening was not at all the usual time for new residents to enter the Tee. Norma was waiting, naked, to meet Rachel and Naomi, as she usually did for new entrants. She had also recruited Mary Hall to join her. It had been decided that the two newcomers would just be taken to their rooms, leaving all of the introductions and the tour until the next day. With a little shuffling of room assignments, mother and daughter were able to be housed next to...
[Jessica] Early July In an unrecognized form of self-punishment, Jessica resisted the urge to call Julia after she moved out. In fact, she resisted for almost a week, until the day the case documents arrived at the lawyer's office. During that week, Jessica hardly left her room. Her landlady was a kindly woman with strong mothering instincts. Like almost everyone, she felt the urge to help Jessica, and after a few days, she had the whole story. Jessica found it surprisingly therapeutic to...
[Missy] Mid July The Farnsworths arrived at the main entrance of the Tee on Saturday morning. After considerable discussion, Andy and Andi had been chosen to be their greeters and escorts. They were clad in standard staff shorts and shirt. "Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth," Andi said as Andy opened the door. "Welcome to Transformations. I'm sure Missy will be happy to see you." That, of course, was a blatant lie, and both parents' expressions showed that they realized the falsehood....
Sunday proved to be very interesting at Fran's house. Melanie (Mel), Fran's doctor, was a former dorm mate and casual sex partner. When Carson talked her through the plan, she was enthusiastic, but had a great many questions. When she ran out of questions, she insisted it be tried out on someone besides Fran first. To no ones surprise, Carson volunteered. They decide just to do his elbow as a test, in case they ran into a problem. They also did not want to use up too much of the supply of...
[Erica & Julia] Late February "Is it OK if I start wearing clothes again?" Erica asked Julia after dinner one night. "Of course it's all right, Erica. As a matter of professional interest, can you tell me why you don't want to be naked any more?" "I guess it's because I don't need it any more," Erica answered. "In fact, it's starting to make me feel different from the other kids. No, wait - that's not right. I felt different from everyone from the first. I thought I could...
It has often been said that Christmas amplifies emotions like no other event in the year. It was hard to imagine how the emotional level for the Halls could get any higher. Mary had been a complete basket case since the kidnapping, and the supposed joy of the season had hardly dented her anguish and depression. Officially losing her daughter through manumission was a far more cruel blow than Lindsey realized. Despite all her hangups, motherhood was still the cornerstone of Mary's existence....
Saturday morning was not a happy time for Mary and Floyd Hall because it marked the end of their five days together and the beginning of two or more months of separation. Mary had checked in to the Tee in a hurry and there had been no time for lengthy goodbyes. Of course, they had known it was coming, but had refused to face up to it. Back then, the loss of physical contact did not seem like major deprivation, either. In the last five days, under Barbara's tutelage and insistence, they had...
Sarah had quit her job and moved back to room with Sonja. They would be getting a place together as soon as she found a new job. She arrived in town at the time Judy's piece on Transformations was getting wide exposure. As soon as she arrived at Sonja's, Sarah called Lindsey and Mark and asked them to come over Sunday afternoon. She told them that she and Sonja had worked out the perfect way to deal with their brother Frank Schermer. The plan required a great deal of work, but Sarah...
[Caz] Late August It was through his close surveillance of the Reverend William Matthews that Caz became aware of Transformations. When Matthews began his harangues from the pulpit against Transformations, Caz was notified by his 'inside' contact and immediately sought to find out more. If Matthews was so vehemently against the organization, it might be something that Caz should support. Or perhaps, it could somehow aid Caz in his long-sought revenge - 'the enemy of my enemy is my...
[Caz & Cy] Early October "Counsel for Reverend Matthews called and they want to negotiate," Caz's lawyer told him over the phone the morning after Marty dropped her bombshell. "I will give the Reverend the same opportunity to negotiate that he gave me," Caz said sharply. "Absolutely none." "I was hoping you would say that." Caz could hear his lawyer grinning over the phone. "I still have someone on the inside," Caz replied. "Is it all right to refer to absolute turmoil...
There were still several weeks of school left when Lindsey moved back home, but the girl who showed up in school seemed like a different person than the one who threw up in the girls' bathroom because of a false rumor. Her friends watched in wonder as she set out to instantly learn and do everything she'd missed the last four years. Trish, Janie, and Caitlin were more than happy to introduce her to the 'in' stores and to educate her on the clothes that were right for a teen. Still...
Lindsey spent a very fitful Friday night. She again slept on the hideabed in Sonja's apartment, and Sonja could here her tossing several times during the night. Sonja felt sorry for her, but there was not much she could do but be a friend. The hardest part for Sonja was that she knew exactly what Lindsey was feeling. At Dex's holiday party, Amy had pulled Sonja into the singing, and she had been 'discovered.' Her parents were there, and their anger at her performance had taken a lot of...
Having not visited or talked to his wife since she checked in to Transformations did not make it any easier for Floyd, now that he was about to check in himself. After all the preparations that had been made so he could work from there, he had almost lost his job anyway, just from distraction and inattention. It had been hard enough just existing for the four weeks that Mary had already been gone. He had completely lost track of how much he just depended on her for everything around the...
Hector could not figure it out. She was no virgin, not by a long shot. When she got going, she was a fucking machine. The friends he had invited to help 'break her in' were all begging for return engagements. His 'brainwashing' techniques seemed to be working well until he tried to get her to turn tricks. Then, it was like a stone wall came up. In all the girls he had broken in, he had never run into one like Gem (the name he had given Andi). Usually, they became attached, even devoted...
Andy and Beth waited in Andi's room while she was checked out, then walked beside the mandatory wheelchair as she was taken to the exit. Andy had parked the company van nearby, and before long they were on their way to the Tee. Conversation was sparse, with Andi obviously nervous about what she was getting into. During the night, she had tossed a lot with many misgivings about what she was doing. Ridiculous as spending a couple of months naked seemed to her, the stark reality was that she...
[Cy & Leah] Late September Friday had been an impossible day at school for Cy. His mind could not get away from thoughts about the next morning. Over and over he had decided what he was going to do, and over and over he had changed his mind. As it turned out, Saturday afternoon was just as bad. As it drew near to dinner time, he realized that what he needed was someone to talk to, someone to tell the incredible things that had been happening to him. Dr. Waxman would certainly take the...
[Julia & Ray] Early November Julia was hopeful that Janice was approaching the turning point, so she kept one midday open to talk to Ray. That day, Ray should have realized that something of import was about to happen because Norma and Muriel were waiting for him once again. Missy was also there. Including Missy had taken some thought on Julia's part. On the one hand, Missy was way too young for the upcoming discussion. On the other hand, she was very close to all of the Ralstons. She...
[Erica] Early December Genetics or environment? It is often very difficult to tell which is the primary cause. For a teenaged girl like Erica McCann, the cause did not matter. All she knew was that she was fat, she was a disgrace to her parents and her siblings, and she absolutely hated her life. In the McCann family, style was everything. Both parents, her older sister, and her younger brother were examples of physical perfection, and that seemed to be the most important thing in their...
[Rachel, Cy & Leah] Early January One day as Cy was working right after school, Julia came in and pulled him aside. "I want you to work the early morning tomorrow. Naomi will not be with your mother when she greets you." "Is something wrong?" "Not at all. Things are going well. Up until now, your mother was almost non-functional without her mother. She is ready to do some things on her own, now." "Is Grandma sad about that?" "Oh, no. She is thrilled. Much as she loves your...
[Leah & Julia] Early March "This is probably the question you've been dreading," Julia said to Leah as the girl held Cy's hand tightly. "If your mother follows through with Bradley, and if you can be convinced that home is much different, will you move back?" "If the reason for my being here no longer exists, it would be selfish to take up a spot, wouldn't it?" Leah answered. Julia should have expected that, perhaps, but it still brought moisture to her eyes. With a sigh,...
Mark had first gotten naked in front of his family on a Monday night. Going to school the next day had given him a break, but as it turned out, stripping when he came home was almost as hard as the first time. Since his ten-year-old sister Tori had been waiting all day for an explanation of erections, it was doubly trying. Norma decided that when it was her turn, she would do it Friday afternoon. Staying unclothed through the whole weekend should force her to get over the worst nervousness...
When Beth led Andy down the stairs naked that Sunday morning, he saw Julia, and tried to retreat, but Beth was having none of it. Julia's reassuring smile and Beth's firm lead somehow got him to the living room. Seeing his mother lying on the sofa with her arm over her eyes was enough to force the thought of his nakedness from his mind. One of Andy's biggest recent fears was Gretchen's health. He did not think he could have kept her schedule, and did not understand how she could. He had...
[Julia & Staff] Mid-January "I know you hate to have this subject brought up, but is Phyllis going to have to be a freebie?" Frank asked in the staff meeting the next morning. "Not a problem, this time," Julia answered. "Caz Calloway is covering her for as long as necessary. He offered as soon as he heard what had happened. "On another matter," Julia went on. "I guess you are all aware of the extreme deviation from normal admittance. I could make a joke and say 'Extreme...
Transformations A Love Story I felt a wave of pleasure shoot through me as her lips touched my right nipple... instantly as she touched me, then more as she began to kiss my right breast. Next, her right hand slid to my left breast and she slowly started to circle my nipple with her index finger. My eyes shot open and I let out a sigh - having never been awoken to anything like this. I heard a subtle "mmmmm" come from Danielle acknowledging my sigh, but the vibration of her...
It was the third night of the Transformations team's stay in paradise, following the second full day. Mark had watched with pride and enormous satisfaction as Lindsey's confidence grew by the hour. The previous day, her first day naked, she had not been able to go to breakfast, and had visibly recoiled each time she encountered a stranger. He and her other friends had kept a constant escort, or shield, around her the entire day. When the afternoon team meeting had finished on that second...
Norma let Mary nap as long as she wanted to. She either stayed in the room with her, or was close by for the three hours that Mary stayed in bed, trying to sleep, but mostly tossing restlessly. When Mary's bladder forced her to get up, Norma scurried out to fetch Ryan while she was still in the bathroom. She timed it just right, and Mary screamed when she walked out of her bathroom to see Ryan standing there. Norma was right at her side to make sure she did not faint, but otherwise did a...
Andi still cried a lot. But more and more, they were tears of happiness, or just a reaction to the kindness being shown to her. This place was unbelievable! It was exactly what she needed. She was actually starting to worry a little about having to leave some day, but mostly she just basked in the security and the care. And most especially in the presence of Andy. Her days were very full. She had never exercised vigorously in her life, but she had found what Shannon Torvold told her was...
After Dottie had finally stopped sobbing and regained some of her composure, Andi and Andy took her on a tour. Again, she was greeted warmly by all of the women, with everyone anxious to show her what they were doing. It was almost as if they were trying to sell her on the place. There was an unexpected crisis when she first saw the hot tub. She started crying again, and almost collapsed. The whole way, Andi and Andy had been holding her tightly, so she did not actually fall. "Th......
In the planning stages for Transformations, there had been a log of concern about transferring the the effects of Immersion Therapy and re-birthing, as experienced by Shannon and Kathy at Greg's house, to a larger group of people. There was considerable doubt that the same kinds of effects could be achieved when the subject was one of many naked people. The concerns were correct, but not in a negative way. In fact, in a development that should not have been surprising, the group had its own...
The timing was perfect. Andy had worked long hours at the Tee since it opened, forgetting about school in the interim. On days when the high school guys were at school, he and Ryan were the daytime staff, along with Gretchen and Carol. Paul was on site a good deal of the time, but between operational details of the Tee and his growing outside business, his time with the residents had decreased over the months. One mid-morning, as Paul came into the office after breakfast with a new client,...
When Matt picked up Beth on Sunday afternoon to drive back to school, the mood between them was very strained. Other than a few polite questions and short answers, there was silence until they were several miles down the freeway. Suddenly, Beth started giggling uncontrollably. Matt first looked at her in puzzlement, then in disbelief. When she did not stop, he startled to chuckle, carried along by the musical quality of her laughter and his own guess at what she was laughing at. "Beth...
[Julia] Late May "What we're talking about, here," Gerald Magnuson said in his most forceful manner, "are kids who would not fall under the legal definition of abuse, but whose home situations are intolerable." He was addressing a group that included Julia, two other local psychiatrists, the director of County Children's Services, a lawyer for the county, and two counselors from regional school districts. One of the counselors spoke up immediately. "Mr. Magnuson has identified a very...
His parents and Marty were not the only people who cared about Caz. He had become one of those very successful people whose success almost no one begrudged. His long-burning hatred had been unable to kill the basic respect and care for people that had been a trademark of young Carter Calloway. Within his MLM company, there were literally hundreds of people who thought he walked on water. From the many under him who had earned enough extra to stave off bankruptcy, to those who had...
[Janice & Ted] Late November Julia gave it a few weeks before trying what she hoped would be the deciding move. It was a Saturday, and Janice usually exercised late morning, then got her massage. That morning, with her usual pro forma show of reluctance, Janice got on the table and Mark started working on her shoulders. For whatever reason, she always turned her face away from whoever was working her, so it was relatively easy for Ted to slide in and take Mark's place. The first...
[Faith] Early December "I appreciate your calling me first, Mr. Charles," Julia said after taking a call from Max. "Max, please," he said quickly. "I didn't know how Faith would take the news. I don't think we should keep it from her, but I'm concerned." "You're right to be concerned," Julia assured him. "She needs to know, so I will tell her, and I'll be sure that Dale is with her. Max, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to forgo the visits. I did not...
[Brett] Late December Brett was met just inside the door by Leah, Missy, and Connie. It was surprising how much planning and scheming had gone into his punishment. Given his offense and his attitude toward girls, Julia had decided that his direct supervision would be done by the girls, and all of them would be involved. The boys had been instructed to be friendly and helpful, but not to give him any direction. Julia had spent quite a bit of time at Lindsey's coaching the kids on how to act...
[Nancy, Ron & Julia] Late January "We certainly didn't plan for anything like this," Ron Merker lamented. "I couldn't believe it when the Halls did it to Brett," Nancy admitted. "When I threatened Chelsea with the same thing, I wasn't serious. I'm afraid I am, now." "Brett's punishment was supposed to be a one-time thing," Julia said to the Merkers as they sat in her Transformations office. Julia had come into the office that Saturday morning after her breakfast with...
[Erica & Dozer] Late April She had talked about it with Julia several times. She never knew whether she hoped Julia would talk her out of it or talk her into it. It had been very frustrating when Julia would do neither, only ask probing questions. Finally after six dates with Dozer, the last three ending with very warm kisses, she made her decision. There had never been any question, but Julia had agreed immediately. Dozer had agreed to come over right after school, bring his books,...
[Bryan] Mid May There had been no commitment from the DA people when they left after discussing more naked 'sentences' for troubled kids, but none had been expected. About three weeks later, Julia's admin caught her between appointments and said "A very distraught woman called. She said she was given your name and number by someone in the DA's office." Five days later, there was a replay of Brett's entrance into Lindsey's. There were some differences, though. Only a mother stood...
The next evening, both Norma and Paul seemed distracted, so much so that Mark commented on it. Assuring him that nothing was amiss, the whole family watched a couple of shows together, then the kids went up to finish the last homework before bed. Left alone in front of the TV, Norma said "Penny for your thoughts." "Oh, I guess I've just been thinking too much. When Dr. Waxman talked about the pay and the college benefits, it just made me depressed that I can't give him the college he...
Over the next few days, Mark experienced a lot of that same feeling from the first night in his parents' room. He was naked, and everything else about the world seemed to go on as if nothing was wrong. It didn't make sense! How could everything be so... normal? Of course, he didn't really know what disaster he was expecting. His family, even Tori, would never ridicule him, even the frequent times he was erect. No one else but the family would see him. It was just... he couldn't even...
Back when her parents tried to get her to attend the Schermer retreat, Lindsey should have been more suspicious when her father caved so easily. Suspicion, however, was not yet a big part of her nature. She had no reason to suspect her parents of doing anything drastic to her, certainly nothing physical. They were closed-minded, mean-spirited, suspicious, paranoid - the list of their passive faults was very long. But there was no reason to suspect them of any form of violence. What had...
After dinner at the Waxmans', Jeanine was subdued, but not hostile. Carol was pleased that there did not seem to be a rift developing between her and her mother. Julia, of course, was a genius, and as Carol thought back on the conversation at their house, she remembered specific things Julia said to Jeanine that must have made a huge impact. The next day, Jeanine acted in a surprisingly normal way, although Carol noticed a definite flush and an occasional recoil as she looked at her...
High School is one of the most transformative times in the life of any teenager. Boys start to sweat more. Underarm hair starts to grow. The penis and testicles grow and the scrotum gradually becomes darker. Most girls gain weight – and it’s normal for this to happen – as their body shape changes. Their breasts continue to grow and become fuller. Pubic hair becomes coarser and curlier. Only all of the above are quite normal changes. But what if by some strange twist of magic or technology there...
TeenMonth 6... It was a good thing that Erin Hunter saw Andy on a regular basis during the month. Because what walked through her office door that Saturday morning looked and carried herself like a totally different person. "Got your latte, babe," Andy said as he handed Erin her Starbucks and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. Dani smiled and sat. "Let me look at you," Erin said to Andy. Even though Erin had witnessed the progress, she was amazed at what stood before her. In...
[Floyd] June As Julia went about the mechanics of shutting down the men's section, the one man she thought most about was Floyd. There was no doubt that the Tee had given the Hall family a chance at a time when they were absolutely doomed. Of course, the circumstances were unique. Never again would a husband and wife have an entire section to themselves as Mary and Floyd had been able to do. In future years, Julia was sure that she would look upon Mary as one of the Tee's crowning...
19 year old Ash Ketchem found himself in a white room filled with legendary pokemon. He knew something was up. He didn't know if he wanted to be a part of it. 'Ash, my chosen one.' Ash turned around to see Arceus, the creator of all Pokemon. "Arceus!" Ash quickly exclaimed, falling to the floor, bowing. 'There is no need, Ashura. Please, get up.' Ash quickly got up. "Ummm... why did you bring me here?" Ash inquired, suddenly noticing a blush from some of the Pokemon behind Arceus. 'You've saved...
Through Month 4... Dani woke as the sun started to shine through the drawn curtains in their bedroom. She looked across the bed at the clock. Just after 7:00. Andy lay there on his back, sheets lightly across his chest. His left arm was up over his head, curled around his head. He had always been a stomach sleeper... but there he was in a more feminine pose. To Dani, his face had softened slightly. And while his facial hair still grew, it was substantially less... and...
Month 5... Over the last month, Andy had made big strides to come to grips with his developing feminine shape. But during their private sessions, he admitted to Erin that he was still extremely self-conscious about hiding his shape in public... but around Dani he was more comfortable. While comfort at home around his loving and supporting wife was easy, from a psychiatric perspective, Erin knew that Andy had to progress outside of the house. The physical changes were increasing and...
Epilogue... Andi's eyes slowly fluttered open. She felt Dani gently squeeze her hand - sitting next to the bed. Giving her wife time to focus, Dani asked, "how do you feel?" Andi thought about her answer for a few moments, then lightly chuckled under her breath as she answered, "I feel like someone kicked me in the balls." The path to get here had been unexpected... unimaginable less than a year before. Need had turned to curiosity. Curiosity to...
Because of Warren's vasectomy, Dottie had not worried about pregnancy for twenty years. In her mid forties, she was not yet menopausal, but her cycle had become very erratic and the doctor had not thought it worthwhile to put her on birth control to regulate it. The chance of pregnancy had occurred to her a few times on her weekends with Court, but had never occupied much of her attention. Since the last trip, she had noticed some morning problems, and had begun to fear the truth. When the...
"Aunt Barbara! Aunt Barbara!" Tori shrieked, and did a flying leap into the woman's arms. When Barbara reached the group, Paul said "Floyd, this is my sister Barbara. She's going to start you on your aerobic routine." He managed to shake hands, half surprised not to get a bone-crushing grip from her. His other hand attempted to shield his crotch. Very quickly, the others took showers, dried, dressed, and left. He was then alone with the daunting woman, not at all sure what to expect....
