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 describe it. Being an analytical sort, he had spent quite a bit of time thinking about clothes, no clothes, his body, his penis in particular, and what it all meant. He had had another discussion with Dr. Waxman about nudity and that helped quite a bit, but there was still a feeling of disorientation and uncertainty.
His mother had been amazing - as amazing as she always was. He could tell she was trying hard to make it easy on him, and it was working. She was especially touchy-feely, even more than before. At first, he had almost recoiled at her touch on his bare skin, but it was already seeming natural. He liked it. He liked the feeling of increased closeness, as if they were tackling some obstacle together. It was obvious how badly she wanted him to have the job, and he had always wanted it, too. His main reason for wanting the job was the money and Addison, he had to admit, but as he spent more time naked, he was getting a glimmer of Dr. Waxman's theory on the nudity.
His mother - his whole family, actually - had been on his mind a lot more since the Lindsey fracas early last spring. When he had replied to the reporter about his family being perfect, he had meant it. Now, he realized even more how blessed he was.
The childhood friendship with Lindsey had been rekindled strongly since the the rumors and the aftermath. Over the summer they had spent a lot of time together as friends. Mark had taken her on a few dates, but he had also arranged for the other guys in the Club to take her out. He had the great honor of taking her on her first date, and he made sure she made up for lost time as quickly as possible.
The two teens spent a lot of time at each others' houses, although Lindsey would much rather be at his. He was the one who insisted they brave the veritable gauntlet of disapproval to watch TV or just chat in her room. She hated the way her parents treated him and it embarrassed her. He was strangely unaffected by it. Over time, he convinced her it was normal to have friends over, and she needed to know if she could have a normal life at home. So far, prospects looked bleak.
It was that old bugaboo still with the Halls. For some idiotic reason, they were sure that if Lindsey was out of their sight, she was sinning. When in her room, she and Mark always left the door ajar, and they could hardly keep from laughing at the frequency of 'housekeeping' trips through the upstairs hallway.
He liked to make sport by exaggerating his politeness and jocularity to Mary Hall, ignoring the looks of anger and fear she always returned. Even while having his fun, he understood the pain Lindsey was going through.
Home was not a good place for her, and he wished for her sake that she would get out. Despite technically adhering to the conditions they had agreed to when she moved back in, Mary, especially, found innumerable ways to make her feelings very clear. No child should have to live under such a constant barrage of obvious disapproval.
While Lindsey greatly enjoyed the congenial atmosphere at the Ventris', McMamaras', and other friends' homes, each such visit was a reminder of how bad things were at her own.
In the first naked week, Mark faced a number of hurdles. One was Tori's attitude toward him. From the first morning, she didn't want him, more particularly his crotch, out of her sight. Unfortunately, she stopped most of the other, quite physical interactions she usually had with her brother. Not once had she leapt on his back since he stripped, something that previously happened at least daily. Her trick of plopping on his lap with her head squarely blocking his sight of the TV had not been tried. No wrestling or tickling had occurred. For all her tomboyishness, she had a habit of coming down in her nightclothes, leaning against Mark on the sofa, and making a big show of sucking her thumb. That had not happened since.
The objective of the whole exercise for Mark was to live normally, just without clothes. When one of the key people in his life could not follow the script, it put normalcy farther out of reach.
Mark always got up before Tori on schooldays, but outslept everyone on weekends. It was one of the joys of Tori's life to pile onto his bed on weekend mornings and roust him out. The first Saturday, she didn't. When he finally got down to the kitchen, Norma asked why he looked so dragged out.
"Oh, I don't know. Guess it's 'cuz I didn't get my Saturday wakeup."
Quickly picking up on an issue, Norma turned to the ten-year-old. "Victoria Louise Ventri! Did you forget to wake your brother properly this morning? Whatever are we going to do with you?" It took a few moments for a grin to wipe away the concerned look, but the message got through.
Sunday morning, earlier than he would have liked, a hurtling body crashed Mark awake. Though still groggy, he was aware enough to be delighted. Throwing back the covers to expose himself, he pulled his little sister down on top and started some serious tickling. Tickling, wrestling, and general roughhousing went on for a few minutes, stopping only when Tori froze with a gasp, her hand resting right on top of his cock, which still had some residual morning tautness.
"Hey, Tigger. It's OK. If you happen to touch it, I won't get mad, and nothing bad will happen. You won't hurt me. What I said about touching the other night doesn't mean you have to be afraid to get close to me, OK?" She nodded solemnly. "Besides, I know you've felt it before when we were tussling in the morning, haven't you?" Her eyes just widened at that. "You were afraid to say anything then. Now, you know all about it, so relax. Or are you ready to give up and let me go back to sleep?"
After a few more minutes of merriment and a pee stop, which he let her watch, she rode his bare back down to the kitchen, greeted by broad grins from the others.
Later in the morning, Tori was still in bedclothes, stretched out watching cartoons. Mark came up and used a couple of tickles to start another tussle. He wanted to reinforce her return to more normal interaction. When they stopped for breath, he noticed Becks on the couch, wide eyes fastened on his crotch, mouth agape, general expression indicating no breathing for a long time.
"Earth to Rebecca! Come in!" She shook her head slightly, flicked her gaze to his face, then turned cherry-colored.
"It... it was floppin' all over, and..."
With a hearty laugh, Mark said "Now you know why nudity isn't as poplular with men. I saw a picture of nude volleyball once. Made me hurt to think about it."
This did not make Becks feel any better, so Mark scooted up beside her on the couch and gave her a hug. He tried to think of the right thing to say, but decided nothing fit and just hugged.
The second Saturday of Mark's nudity, Norma went out in the morning for brunch with a friend. Mid-afternoon, Mark was just standing in the kitchen pouring a class of milk, when his mother came in from the garage followed by Lindsey!
The brunch with a friend was actually with Lindsey. They did in fact have breakfast at a restaurant before setting out for a walk through a park in the pleasant early autumn weather. They had been talking small talk and just having a good time until they got to a secluded area.
"Lindsey, Honey," Norma started out, "I want to ask you to help Mark with something important."
"Oh, anything! How could I not? What could he need my help with?"
"I need to warn you up front that it is something that will shock you, and that you may not feel you can do. If I tell you about it and you can't do it, it could change how you feel about him. I would hate to see that happen."
"Oh, Norma, I can't imagine how anything could change how I feel about Mark. He's been my best friend forever. After what he did for me last spring, I can't imagine what could be that shocking."
Norma stood still and just looked hard at the girl for a while, then, with a resolute nod, she began telling Lindsey about Mark's job opportunity. She followed pretty much the same progression as Julia had when revealing it to them. The girl was very excited about her friend's good fortune, and remarked over and over how perfect he would be for the job.
Letting the excitement run out, Norma delivered the first shock. "Lindsey, the women will all be naked the whole time they are in the program." Even though she tried to say it gently, she might as well have slugged the girl. At first, she went catatonic, then she shook her head in obvious disbelief, then Norma had to grab her arm as she gave some signs of fainting.
Sex and nudity were pretty much lumped together at the top of the revised list of Ten Commandments that had been hammered into Lindsey from birth. She was used to her parents going into histrionics at the mere mention of nudity, and here was a woman she liked and respected more than her own mother talking calmly about it. Saying that her great friend was going to work with a bunch of naked women!
Taking the girl's arm, Norma started walking again, deciding it best not to say anything for a while. After a few dozen yards, she asked "Does this change how you feel about Mark?"
"Oh, I, no, but... I don't see how they can... people don't really... ohhhh!"
"So, you don't think we're terrible people, now?"
Lindsey was getting a little control of herself by then. Actually, she had normal sixteen-year-old female hormones and a normal curiosity. She had wandered just far enough into the earthier side of the Internet to understand just how sheltered she had been. What she heard was still shocking, but not like it would have been a few months before. In a rather steady voice, she assured Norma, "That doesn't make me think he's a bad person. Besides, he will be helping those women. I just don't believe the women would ever do that. Why on earth would they?"
"Have you heard Terry's Mom's story?" At Lindsey's shake of the head, Norma continued, "Come on. They're expecting us."
The visit with Shannon was a stunning education for the innocent girl. The fact that Terry and Janie sat right there and joined in the story was even more stunning. Shannon happened to spoil Norma's careful strategy by saying "I think this will be a wonderful way to help Mark." At Lindsey's puzzled look and Norma's flash of irritation, Shannon said "Oops! I, uh, guess I blew it, huh?"
The plan was to follow Julia's exact sequence with just the two of them, but Norma made a snap decision that she might as well dive right in with Lindsey's friends present. As she explained what Mark had to go through, she wondered about just how much astonishment could register on a human face. The poor girl seemed to be having trouble just breathing.
Almost afraid to pile on any more upset, Norma went ahead and told Lindsey she wanted her to come home and see Mark to help him get accustomed to it. She threw in the key statement hurriedly. "This is tough on Mark. You could help him a lot - make it easier to get ready for the job."
It took literally minutes before Lindsey could do more than move her eyes. Norma had about decided to give it up and take her home. With Julia, they had discussed the value of quick, decisive moves when taking young people way out of their comfort zone. She knew if it did not happen that day, it would probably not happen at all. The problem was, what Lindsey now knew had to affect how she felt about Mark. If she carried it through, everything would be all right. Otherwise...
"I... I... I c... couldn't. I've n... never... H... h... he..." Terry exchanged a look and a slight nod with his mother and left the room. Lindsey sat silent and stricken for another period until Terry came back into the room, naked.
"Maybe I can help you get over part of it," Terry said with amazing calm. Impossible as it seemed, poor Lindsey reached yet another plateau of disbelief as she stared at her friend. Her unblinking stare was leveled at his limp penis. It took many seconds before it seeped into her brain where she was looking, and that it was wrong to look at that. She gasped and covered her face with her hands.
Lindsey was too intelligent and too strong-minded to disintegrate, even in the face of something so unprecedented. There was definitely a mental conflict bombarding her. Here was a trusted friend, one of her defenders, doing something so sinful! All the things she had learned over the years did not help her in this dilemma, and she had to try and reason it out.
To start with, Terry was a good person. He had stood by her against the whole school - against his teammates. Was he an evil, sinful person? She would not acknowledge that. What he was was an unbelievably beautiful person she could hardly keep her eyes off of. Was she evil and sinful for wanting to look at him? She made an effort not to look, and Terry noticed.
"Lindsey, I stripped so you could look at me and get a little used to it. Don't try so hard not to look. It's OK." Terry had stood since he entered the room, moving casually around the room, finding things to look busy.
"H... how can you b... be like that?" Lindsey managed to squeak out.
Janie was as relaxed and natural as could be, and she spoke up. "We're used to seeing each other around here. It's not such a big deal any more. 'Course, I could still look at that bod all day. Isn't he yummy?" That enthusiastic comment did nothing to help Lindsey relax.
"We know this is against what you have been taught, Honey," Norma spoke up, "and probably against what you believe. The whole job thing for Mark is a terrible shock to you. I can't ask you to stop believing those things. I can ask if you can put them aside to help your friend."
There followed a long, gentle discussion of nudity, the right and the wrong, with Terry remaining naked the whole time. As time went on, Lindsey was able to enter in to the conversation more, and managed to ask some very good questions.
After almost an hour's chat, Lindsey squared her shoulder and said "Norma, let's go see Mark!" As they got up to leave, she walked over and planted a kiss on Terry's cheek. "Thank you, Terry. Again. That really helped." She turned away, then turned back for one more look. "You are y... yummy!"
Norma hugged the girl as they walked to the car. She could not remember a person, other than her own family, who was so easy to love. She had dropped a heavy blow on Lindsey, who had come up swinging. She found herself hoping there would someday be a love interest between Lindsey and her son.
Once in the car, Norma made a little joke. "Do you want to stop by home to pick up some fresh panties? I sure need to change mine."
"But I didn't wet..." With a jolt, Norma wondered just how little the girl knew. She took the time to explain what she meant, trying to be clinical and matter of fact. It was impossible to remain totally clinical when she talked about the effect Terry's muscular body had on her genitals. From the blush, she was sure the girl was not immune, either.
"Honey, I need to warn you. Mark doesn't look much like Terry."
Giving away the focus of her attention, Lindsey answered "You mean his, uh, is smaller?"
"No, no. That's not what I meant," Norma choked back a laugh for all she was worth. "Matter of fact, that's the one place they look most alike. What I meant was Terry is an athlete, and very muscular. Mark is pretty skinny. He takes after his father a lot, so I expect he will start to fill out one of these days. Probably look a lot like Paul."
"Oh, that'll be great!" Lindsey blurted out, then covered her face.
"Hey, that's all right. I think Paul looks great. I'm proud of him."
"You know, in old pictures, my Dad looked pretty good. It's really sad the way he let himself go."
"Well, Paul doesn't have time for exercise, but he does it anyway. Puts me to shame. 'Fraid I look too much like your mother. Ooops, sorry!"
"S'OK. It's true. She looks worse than Dad."
"Well, I'll be changing for sure." Norma proceeded to tell Lindsey about her naked time coming up, then about her and Paul working at Transformations also. For the girl, it was just shock upon shock upon shock, until they reached the house.
Just before they got out of the car, Norma thought of one more thing the girl should know. "Honey, Terry never got hard the whole time we were there. Probably because he's so used to being naked. That won't happen with Mark, so just be ready."
Lindsey looked confused a moment, then her eyes flew wide. "You mean, he'll have an erection!?" Lindsey's parents had excused her from sex ed class, but Trish had done her best to fill in the gaps for her friend.
"Yup. A hardon. It still happens to him a lot."
"But how can he stand... ?"
"It's a normal part of life, Honey. You know, when Dr. Waxman first suggested this, I didn't know how he could do it. Then he didn't know how he could do it. Now, I don't know how he can stand to be naked around you. But you know what? He'll get through it, 'cause you're a sweet friend, and you'll help. And he'll be much more ready for that job. Ready to go for it?"
In the almost two weeks since he listened in disbelief as Dr. Waxman told him what he needed to do to prepare for the job, Mark thought he had things pretty well in hand. There had been whole days, admittedly school days, when no one saw him with a hardon. He surprised himself with the level of control he had - sometimes, that is. Other times, the slightest little thing caused him to spring up.
This Saturday, he had done some yard work in the morning, dressed, of course. Having just come out of the shower, he was pouring himself a glass of milk when his mother came in from the garage. He could not say it was yet easy and natural when his mother or sisters walked in when he was naked, but it was no longer cause for panic.
However, when he saw Lindsey behind his mother, that was definitely cause for panic. He dropped both the glass and the carton, milk splashing all over the place. He turned away from them, jammed his hands over his crotch, and tore from the room.
Norma had her hand jammed in her mouth so Mark would not hear her laughing, but she still shook and doubled over before she got control. Lindsey stood transfixed, eyes still staring toward the door where Mark had left the kitchen. Deciding there was no appropriate comment just then, Norma began cleaning up the mess.
"M... maybe this wasn't a good idea," Lindsey told Norma.
"I think it's just that we surprised him, is all. I'll go talk to him." When the milk was all wiped up, Norma went up to Mark's room and walked in. He had shorts and a Tee on, and appeared to be screwing up his courage to face his friend.
"Mom, you should have checked where I was before you came in!"
"Sorry. Hey, what's with the clothes?"
"Well, Lindsey's here. You don't expect me to..." He caught a look at his mother's face and knew exactly what she expected. "Oh, no! No way! This was supposed to be just family! I could never..."
"Mark, Honey, the idea is for you to be comfortable naked. If you can be OK around your friend, just think how comfortable that will make you."
"But not Lindsey!"
"I know, you'd like to have her be your girlfriend." At his look of surprise, she chuckled. "Yes, it's obvious. Shouldn't matter, Honey. You should be able to strip in front of anyone to be really ready for this job. It took me a long time to talk her into helping you."
"Yes, helping you. She's going to help you get even more comfortable with this naked business. Now, off with the clothes. Do you want to come down to see her, or should I send her up here?"
"Mom! I don't want her to see me."
"Look, Mark, is this any worse than the first time with Becks?"
"It... it's about that bad."
"Well, believe it or not, this is very, very hard for her, too. You know how she was brought up. I'm hoping this will help bring her out of that emotional straight-jacket her folks have her in."
Norma had said the magic words - it would help his friend. Dropping his shoulders, he took off his shirt. As he dropped the shorts, he said with resignation "Send her up here."
He did a good job of composing himself. The two weeks really had changed him. He stood in the middle of the room, facing the door, and when she timidly walked in, he spread his arms and said "This is me. Not too much to look at, huh?" He was limp when she walked in, but her eyes locked on it and he started to swell.
"Oh, no, it's... it's..." At that point she realized where she had been looking and what she had been saying. She raised her eyes to his with such a stricken look he could not help feel sorry for her.
"Lindsey, it's OK, really. I can't help it getting like this. You might as well see it right away."
The rest of that Saturday was totally weird. The situation between Mark and Lindsey was very strained, considering how close they normally were. Mark was definitely nervous being on total display to his love interest. She, on the other hand, blushed almost non-stop. Everything in her upbringing told her it was wrong, wrong, wrong to be around a naked person. Her hormones, however, kept dragging her eyes back to his penis - rather his cock, as it was most of the day.
As she sat with Mark's family watching TV after supper, Lindsey had the same feeling of disorientation Mark experienced his first few minutes naked. Everyone was acting so normal, but how could they? Mark was sitting there with his penis exposed. Something awful was supposed to happen. Why hadn't it?
After too few hours at home for some restless sleep, Lindsey was back at the Ventris' for breakfast. Her parents had started going to the church she had found, and she did not even want to be in the same congregation with them, so she skipped. Visions of Mark's organ hanging, flopping around, and standing erect would have made worship impossible, anyway. She was angry at herself for being so absorbed with his body, but could do nothing to stop it.
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...
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...
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...
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...
To perhaps alleviate some of the confusion of many, many names, here is a list of some that are mentioned, but were introduced in previous episodes of the Transformations series. Dr. Julia Waxman, Psychiatrist, Director of Transformation Frank Waxman, Julia's husband, General Manager of Transformations, former fashion exec, General Manager of Magnuson Foundation. Gerald Magnuson, wealthy philanthropist, primary backer of Transformations. Paul Ventri, CFO of Transformations and president...
Walter had been taking care of the Charles' pool for as long as Faith could remember. Although Mercedes frowned on it, Faith had always enjoyed chatting with him while he worked. Walter was a story-teller, and he was able to hold her spellbound, even now that she was in college. For his part, he welcomed her attention, always amazed that a bitch like Mercedes could give birth to such a genuinely sweet person as Faith. Mercedes literally did not notice the presence of Walter or the numerous...
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...
[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...
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 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....
[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...
Not again! Her parents wanted to go out for pie and coffee with their friends again after choir practice. Lindsey Hall really did have homework to finish that night, but that wasn't the only reason she was upset. It was just so typically inconsiderate! When she turned sixteen, the stated minimum age for the church choir, it was just assumed that she would join. Her parents never asked her. Lindsey had a very nice voice and liked to sing, but with only a few young people among the thirty in...
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,...
Even if Mark had been sound asleep, the sight of his fourteen-year-old sister, Becks, standing naked in the door of his room would certainly have roused him. She was still developing, but her body showed the promise of nice, womanly curves. Because of her interest in sports, she was tight and muscular, but it looked very good on her. He did not have to force his smile of appreciation, and could do nothing to stop a vigorous salute from his cock. "D... do I look OK?" she asked with honest...
Mark had flown a few times, back when Paul still had the good job. That had been before 9/11, though, and he was unfamiliar with all the new rigamarole. This was a first for Lindsey, but there had been so many firsts lately that she took it pretty well in stride. Being with Mark made it all more exciting than frightening, and she was able to get into the spirit of adventure. The relationship between the two teens had changed dramatically, and it was not just Lindsey's long-overdue...
When the boys left Dex's Friday night, he immediately called Marty, his lawyer, and outlined the plan. She had driven right over, and after more discussion, insisted on monitoring the polygraph session. Like everyone else, she was absolutely enthralled with Mark's idea, and wanted to make sure there were no legal problems to damage its impact. The polygraph session for Lindsey went extremely well, with a confidence level well above established minimums. Mark spent the rest of Saturday...
His Mom had been prophetic, Andy mused as he drove home after his shift at the store. Back in March, she had started a commercial cooking course at the U Extension. The schedule was terribly hard on her, but she had been certain the department store where she had worked for years was on its last legs. She had been right. The closure announcement came the day before Memorial Day. There were some attractive bonuses offered to keep employees until the doors were shut, and his mother was...
Ryan was on his way from the timeclock to see the first of his 'special' patients. He chuckled to himself that he still thought of it as a 'timeclock, ' even though the terminal that scanned his ID badge and requested his PIN was a long way from what he clocked in and out of at the factory during his summer job. There were only three special patients tonight, one having checked out that day. The three women were special because they had the least visitor activity, and because their...
In the girls' bedroom, just a wall away from the bathroom, Lindsey had definitely been affected by the sounds of Norma and Paul frolicking in the shower. She had just gotten in bed when the couple giggled their way into the bathroom. Just the fact that they might use the toilet with the other present was a jolt to the sheltered girl. When the shower started and it became obvious they were in it together, she could not suppress a gasp. Tomboy that she was, Becks was still imbued with her...
[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...
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....
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...
Denice Jenning’s Week, Friday My week had been crazy at Rogers High School. I was chosen for the Program because was I was in the running to be my school’s homecoming queen. The naughty futa-principal, Ms. McTaggart, thought it would cute to have my rival, that slut Umeko Himura, and me go naked for the entire week. That was the point of the Program, to encourage young people to embrace their bodies and sexuality. To not be ashamed about anything. It was part of a new-wave of laws sweeping...
Although sixteen now, Denice had never been camping before. I enjoyed camping; it was a way of escaping my home-life, where the wife doted only on the dog. Denice was my sister Cathy’s daughter; a single mom whome I visted rarely. Denice had lately become very tempting. Her brown hair seemed to kiss her beautiful neck and her big brown eyes danced every time I took-in her yummy figure. Visits to Cathy’s place became more frequent; and I found Cathy good to chat with before Deniece came in...
