Sucker 6 Debbie drove. Other drivers and their passengers glanced at us from time to time, but saw nothing wrong, and I began to relax -- this was not a day for feeling humiliated after all. We had to park a block away from Vita's and walk among many other pedestrians. I glided, elbows at my sides, and it went fine. "Don't make eye contact with men," Debbie advised, noticing that I was checking out the passers-by to see if they noticed me. "Lots of them won't leave you alone once you look them in the eye. But with women, feel free. We all understand each other." It was true. I smiled at one, then another, and they both smiled back. That never happened to me when I was a man. They'd have frowned, most of them. Maybe looked for a cop! She introduced me to Vita, who handed me off to a young woman in a purple smock named Allison and went off to chat with Debbie for a while. Then Vita returned. "Debbie's gone shopping and arranging other things," she said. "But we know what you want. Just relax and enjoy being pampered!" Then she disappeared. During the next several hours young girls came, did things to me, and disappeared, but I never saw Vita again that day. Allison seemed to be in charge. She seemed a little hostile. I said so to her. "Mister," she said. "I shouldn't say this, and Vita would kill me if she ever found out. But I don't know why you're doing this. It does seem to me an invasion of womynspace, and I resent it. I mean, why do you men have to colonize and appropriate even the way we look and dress? I told her that my wife wanted me to look and dress like a woman, and I had agreed to do it. "Really? Why in the world would any woman want you to do that?" I decided a frontal attack was the only way to deal with this feminist. "So I'll look like a girl when I go down on a man she knows, to suck on his cock. Which I've agreed to do because that's what she wants." Allison was silent for a long time. Then finally, "Wow!" she said. "That's some penance! You must have done something really bad, you and maybe that man too! I mean, to get two birds with one stone! Humiliating both of you, making you do that. I've got to admire a woman like that!" I decided not to straighten her out. I wasn't sure I should explain to her that it was all so my wife would agree to suck on my cock. She wouldn't approve, even given the price Debbie had exacted from me. Allison cut and snipped and rolled and sprayed and poured onto my hair carefully and thoughtfully, while a manicurist came and went, then a "colorist," then someone who punctured my ear lobes and hung a small hoop in each. Then a make-up artist came, and spent a long time doing my lips and eyes. I said nothing. I was determined not to worry the short-term, long-term implications of dyed hair and pierced ears. I reconciled myself to whatever Debbie had decided -- she was in charge for now. I no longer wondered how I'd return to my normal appearance afterward. I'd manage. Now was not the time to feel concerned. Later. "There you are," Allison said finally, whipping a pale purple sheet off me and turning me toward the mirror. "I told everyone what your wife is doing to you, and they were all impressed. So they've all done their best work on you! It's a wonderful idea! I've got to find a way to get my boyfriend to do that to my ex! He's been two-timing me, and I was just about ready to throw him out! But this is much better! Awesome! First change him, then throw him out! Talk about a kissoff? Well! Aren't you the gorgeous girl now?" I looked into the mirror. I was! Allison had taken my moderate length sandy colored hair and converted it into a cute mop of streaky-blonde curls. And the others had remade my face from the bare skin on out, and added tips to my fingernails and then painted them the color of my lipstick. Even my beard shadow was gone, buried under an invisible foundation and blush. An attractive girl looked at me from the mirror. But after the first shock of recognition -- that's really me? -- I forgot my mirror image. I was suddenly concerned by Allison's assumption that Debbie meant only to humiliate me and Bruce en route to a kissoff. That she wanted to end our marriage! Why? Was Debbie that duplicitous?! "Yes, she certainly is!" I heard Debbie's voice behind me. "She certainly is the gorgeous girl now! You've outdone yourself, Allison! I never thought Samantha would finish that pretty! Samantha, you can't imagine how many marvelous things I've bought for you! I know you'll love them! I can't wait till we get home so you can try them on! But now we need to go to lunch, and I've made a 3:00pm appointment for you at the clinic. Remember, you wanted to look just a little more rounded, a little more appropriate? Well, you're about to get your wish!" Allison's eyes opened even wider when she heard that, but she said nothing. Debbie offered Allison a large tip, and to her astonishment Allison refused it. "I can only admire what you're doing," Allison told Debbie solemnly. "And I wish you every success! You're an inspiration!" As we walked to our restaurant, halfway back to the car, Debbie asked me what that was all about, and I told her. I then asked her if she was doing this to punish me, and maybe Bruce too. Whether this was in fact what Allison assumed it was, a humiliating kissoff! "Do I know everything you're really doing, Debbie?" I asked her, near tears? I asked that last question in a low, intense, and worried voice just as the Maitre D' showed two women to one of his more centrally-located tables, one of them a natural beauty in slacks and one of them elaborately coiffed and made up, wearing a designer denim skirt, each a credit to the attractiveness of his establishment. Debbie waited until we had both ordered, two small salads and two black coffees, and the waiter had left. She then looked at me with tears starting in her own eyes! "Samantha," she said. "I want to be absolutely honest with you. No, you don't know everything I'm really doing. No, I can't tell you until the proper time. But then I will certainly tell you everything! Everything! Soon, I hope! Until then you'll just have to trust me!" She smiled, but now the tears welled up. They overflowed, and a teeny streak of mascara coursed down her cheek. She blotted it with a kleenex and looked at the black stain it left. "Well, look at that," she said. "I'm ruining my mascara. But I can't help it. Samantha, everything I've told you is absolutely true. I can't possibly go down on you until you've done it first to someone else. That's the way I am and that's how it is! And you do need to be feminine if Bruce is to be your man, because that's the way he is. This is not some kind of cruel prank, a 'kiss off.' I do love you. I do want to spend the rest of my life with you. In fact I'm doing everything I can think of to make sure that happens, despite the way I am in some ways. Because if I weren't doing this, it wouldn't happen! You know that I haven't been able to warm up to you sexually. Our marriage was really threatened! But you accepted my challenge with Bruce, and I'm glad, because now I think we can spend our whole lives together. It's much more likely. I hope so!" I was utterly mystified. I suck Bruce's cock, and then she sucks mine, and then we live happily ever after? "I think it's absolutely essential that we be absolutely honest with each other! In a month you'll be a changed man. I know it. An altogether changed man, because no longer a man at all, because that's what you've promised me! And that's when I'll be able to explain everything, not to a husband but to a girl I married for life! I mean to keep my word! You suck off Bruce the way we've agreed, and I guarantee you the best sex you've ever had for the rest of your life. You'll be happy, trust me, and that's what I'll be too! In only a month. Do you believe me?" "Yes," I said, simply. And tears came into my own eyes. She looked so earnest, pleading with me to wait! I had to believe her! I put a kleenex to my eyes too, and then we both started to sob. "This is terrible! We're making spectacles of ourselves! Let's go to the Ladies and get a grip and fix our faces!" Debbie said, rising. I rose too, and remembered to glide as I followed her. Once there we fell into each others' arms and just cried and hugged and sobbed. There was nothing more either of us could say. Then gradually we recovered. We believed each other. There would be no more talk about kissoffs. As Debbie repaired her face in the mirror she looked at me standing alongside and admiring her. My Debbie! Soon to be all mine, our intimacy wonderful, the way it had been this past weekend, but for our whole lives! More than wonderful! Now that I was no longer anxious about our relationship, we were able to make ordinary girl-talk. "Now that's really lovely!" she said, studying me in the mirror. "What Allison did with your hair! I wish my hair had that kind of fullness and body. And it curled so beautifully! Now it'll look pretty no matter how passionate you may need to get with Bruce, no matter how he may grip or twist it when you send him off the deep end! And it'll be so easy to fix -- all you'll need to do when you stand up again is run your fingers through it!" I was studying it in the mirror. My new crop. My crown of curls. If I were a girl, I'd think it looked adorable, because it was! But on me? So unmistakably a girl's hairdo? How could I return to those customers in a month or so for their re-orders? How could I let my boss see me? I was no longer the Sam they knew. I tried to share my concern indirectly. "Honey, it's just stunning. I love it. But it's so feminine! I've never seen a man with this kind of streaky blonde hair, curled and styled like this. This is what girls wear! What will people think?" "Of course you've never seen a man wearing your hairdo! It *is* a girl's style. It looks effeminate? I hope so! It's lovely! Very flattering, Samantha! It'll get you lots of compliments. Anyhow, why do you care what people think? It's what I think that matters, doesn't it? And we've agreed that'll depend on what Bruce thinks. Isn't that so?" How did Bruce somehow get between me and her feelings about me? "I suppose you're right," I replied. She simply wasn't going to concern herself with what I'd have to face later on. So I couldn't either. One day at a time. As Debbie finished and returned all her make-up to her purse, her face once again neat, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't touched mine, yet it was as perfect as when I left Vita's. But I'd cried too! I'd wiped my eyes. We'd hugged each other tearfully. But my mascara stayed on my lashes the whole time. "Why didn't my face smear like yours?" I asked Debbie as casually as I could. I had an awful feeling that my eye liner and lipstick might have been tattooed on! Would I need to wear this face for the rest of my life? "My eye liner seems to be indelible!" I added in as amused a tone as I could muster, that being my deepest fear. "It is, more or less," Debbie replied. "I asked about tattoos, but they don't like to do them on faces any more. So I told them to use permanent stains instead. They aren't sub-dermal, like a tattoo, unfortunately. Eventually they wear off. They call them "permanent," though they're no more permanent than a permanent wave! Perfect for a few months, anyhow, but in six months it all needs retouching!" "A few months?!" I said, trying to sound pleased by this disastrous announcement. I now had one of those perfect, enameled female faces movie stars seem to have, and it wasn't going to go away soon! "That'll be convenient!" "Oh yes!" Debbie said. "I'm glad you agree. It was the only way to go. There's no time in only a month, three weeks really, to teach you how to apply daytime make-up and then the more sophisticated kinds for evening wear. That can take years. And this is the only make-up that withstands the stresses of serious lovemaking. You'll be rubbing your face in lots of men's crotches soon. Ordinary lipstick can't survive encounters like that, and you'll want to look as pretty afterward as you did before, I'm sure. Especially if your men cum on your face and you'll need to wipe it off without smearing. And anyhow, men don't appreciate seeing lipstick or eye make-up on their penises or their clothes the next day. And neither do their wives, if they have any. Permanent make-up was the perfect solution, it seemed to me. Don't you agree? "Oh, yes," I said. I was ruined! Even pierced ear holes could be hidden or covered, but I'd need to use make-up on top of this make-up in order to resume life as a man. And even "natural" make-up looks artificial, feminine, even at a glance -- that's how they make it. Then when any "natural" make-up wears off, there I'll be with my deep red lips and black-outlined eyes all over again, an effeminate man who thinks he looks like a pretty girl For the first time, I began considering that I might be in this for the long haul, that my girlhood might not be over when Bruce was satisfied and we went home from our weekend in the country with new understandings of each other! Looking like a girl certainly seemed to be extending well past then. I wondered if Bruce's was the last cock Debbie expected me to suck. I wondered if she had longer-range plans she hadn't yet revealed to me. When we left the restaurant, Debbie suggested we walk to the doctor's office a few streets away. It was remarkable how well I blended in. Debbie had to remind me now and then to keep my toes pointed forward when I walked, and to sway my hips by seeming to walk on a line, but no one paid us the slightest attention, except perhaps in passing. We were two young women strolling and chatting with each other. Debbie talked almost non-stop, orienting me to my new gender. "Men offer solutions to problems instinctively" she told me. "That's what they do instead of exchange recipes. But women offer sympathy, not solutions, and that's what other women really want. Men don't like to ask anyone for help -- it implies dependency, weakness, impotence I suppose. But women love to ask, because they know men love to help them. Oh yes, don't talk in falsetto, Samantha honey -- just find a high natural tone with lots of range and then stress your voice a little when you speak. I love the way Allison plucked your eyebrows into that high, high arch -- it looks so delicate and refined." All, I realized, to distract me from asking more questions. At 3:00 pm promptly we arrived at the clinic. The nurse took a blood sample from me and I waited while Debbie went in and consulted. Then I was ushered in. The doctor was a woman of about Debbie's age. In fact, Debbie introduced me to her as her oldest friend Sandra -- they'd been sorority sisters in college, trusted custodians of each other's secrets. "What we owe each other you wouldn't believe!" Debbie said. Doctor Sandra asked me to take off my blouse and bra, which was a little embarrassing, though she didn't seem to notice. She inspected my chest. Then she got to the point. "You'd like your adipose tissue redistributed the way Debbie described it to me?" "Here and there," I said. "Nothing extreme." That sounded like a safe response. She looked at my blood workup. "You have very high hormone readings. It's already begun to increase tissue mass here and there. Have you begun to notice emotional swings? Crying jags, things like that?" I realized that my little session with Debbie earlier today had been the first since my early teens. I nodded, wide-eyed. How could this be? The exercise tapes? The mere fact that I was wearing a skirt? "Any cells I move are likely to multiply themselves as your hormonal processes continue. Then you'll really end up looking like something else! That's what you want?" I said nothing. "He's been on double strength milk shakes," Debbie said. "And also sneaking an extra one each day. Plainly, that's what he wants!" "All right," the doctor replied. "They're remarkable, aren't they, those shakes?" she said to me with a grin. "Brand new! Intended for morning-after contraception! They overwhelm any leftover sperm with so many male hormone blockers and so much estrogen that the sperm isn't just sterile when it gets near an ovum, it's flouncing around wearing bras and panties and trying to screw other sperm! Nothing male survives. Women in the test cohort reported that their bodies and feelings both became noticeably more feminine, and that they felt inclined to use that femininity. They felt increases in sensitivity and libido, both. That's exactly what's wanted in your case, of course. And I can see results already. Look here!" Reaching out, she gently pinched one of my nipples, and I almost swooned! A rich, delicious feeling of well-being suffused me. I was almost breathless. "They're already enlarged, too!" the doctor said to Debbie. "See how the nipples have thickened and begun to stick out? Only three days, and already it's cop a feel and he'll follow you anywhere! They won't need much collagen at all to look pointy. They're absolutely delicious!" "I'm counting on that, Sandra," Debbie replied. "Well, let's get started. Follow me, please." We went into a room lined with gadgets, and Debbie and her friend Sandra went off again. A nurse came in, had me strip and lie down under a sheet, and put an IV in my arm. ""The procedure is safe," she said. "It's been done hundreds of thousands of times without incident. But it's more comfortable done under Versid, the tranquilizer I'm administering just now through this IV. You'll seem to nod off without knowing it, and then wake up without remembering anything. OK?" I nodded. "Good, he's back," the nurse replied. "How're you feeling?" I then heard Debbie say, "You mean, she's back, don't you? Hardly 'he,' now." I looked over, and there was Debbie sitting beside me. It was over? Already? The nurse helped me sit up. Somehow I was dressed again, bra, girdle, skirt, blouse, and all. The bra and girdle still felt full, still padded. Debbie had added even more foam? "There you are," the nurse said. She handed me a small glass of orange juice. "You can leave any time you like -- the doctor's seeing another patient. Everything went as expected. I'm afraid you'll need to leave that bra and girdle on all night tonight and all through tomorrow and tomorrow night, just to be sure everything stays in place. But the next morning you can wear your usual underthings again." After a moment I stood up. My waist felt a little sore, and my skirt felt very loose in the yoke but tight around the hips. The bra cups pinched where they passed under each arm. My lips felt puffed, as if in a steady pucker. I looked at Debbie, who was watching me with a faint smile. "That's right, honey. Collagen to reshape your lips a little, to give you that "soft suck" look porn stars all seem to have. And now you have the improvement in your figure you'd asked for. A little less in the waist, and a little more in the hips and rear and bust. Your bra and girdle are still holding the shape you'd wanted. But instead of padding it's all you." It was strange. The skirt had been tight on my waist and loose on my hips. Now it was just the reverse. I felt my rear end. Padded there too? Me? And boobs? Boobs!? "It's all you, baby! You'll love it! But you don't get to see it until the day after tomorrow, when you're firmed up. Sandra does liposuction -- fat cells taken from your waist are now where they'll do your figure the most good as your hormones multiply them. It's all still you. But redistributed, the way we'd discussed." My God! The shape of my body, changed? "How long does it last?" I asked timorously. "Until you change it to something else. Which in a few months, when the hormones have done their thing, will be a major undertaking, Sandra tells me. From now on its like with every woman, everything you eat goes to your hips and butt and breasts. So you'll want to eat lightly, and depend on the shakes for your chief nourishment. In three weeks I don't doubt you'll have exactly the kind of figure Bruce likes. Whether he hugs or caresses you, I think you'll be quite satisfactory in that department." I could only stare at Debbie. What had she done? What had I agreed to do? I looked down and felt my smooth crotch, a woman's crotch, a shape that the tight girdle enforced. "Oh, it's there, lover. Same place as always. We both have uses for it. But this way you get the figure you want without any need to remove it." "You've been giving me hormones for my figure in those milk shakes?" I asked her. I was still feeling for something to resent. "For your figure and your disposition. You're already nicer, honey, and a lot prettier. Your face is softer. You feel more mellow. Even more refined. And we've both been giving them to you, remember," she corrected me. "Half of what's kicked you into this incipient femininity is what you prescribed for yourself without even telling me. I told you it was potent stuff. Maybe you didn't hear me?" "I was hungry," I replied. It sounded childish. But what else could I say? The thought crossed my mind that since she knew all along, she could have stopped me or warned me. But I wasn't supposed to complain. "We'll have a small lamb chop each tonight to celebrate your new shape," Debbie said. "And a huge salad, all you want. Though it's best if tonight you eat it standing up. You now have the cutest, bubble-shaped rear end now, lover! And the sweetest haunches! We don't want to flatten them. In another day they'll be the way they'll be, and then grow even more so. When we exercise in the buff again, now you'll surely look and feel like one of the girls." I heard her in silence. An image of those girls on the exercise tapes flashed on my inner eye. Then it occurred to me. "What about these?" I asked her, lifting my breasts in their bra. My God they felt heavy! "What about them? They're breasts. All girls have them." She just looked at me. I tried one last time. "I'm not a girl, Debbie!" "You're wrong. You told me you were. You agreed that you'd have to be so Bruce could persuade himself that you were. So you could persuade yourself. Do I need to ask you again? Are you a girl?" She looked at me keenly, unwavering, waiting. "Yes," I replied. "I'm a girl." "Every day more and more, and better and better. Let's go home, lover. The car's loaded with your new clothes, and I want to see how they fit. All classic styles today, basic wardrobe. Tomorrow we'll shop together for specialty items, dreamy things, flouncy things, slut wear, whatever you like. You can decide for yourself what kind of a girl you are and dress accordingly." I didn't dare ask her why I needed more clothes. I knew she wouldn't tell me. Did Debbie and Bruce plan to find me unsatisfactory for months? Years? I renewed my determination to do this thoroughly and right, so the designated few weeks would be all it took, and my birthday present from Debbie would be the return blow job she'd promised, and that would be that. Then undo whatever needed to be undone, whatever it took. For now I was a girl. With these boobs, apparently, a sexy girl! The next day no exercise tapes. I was too woozy from something the doctor gave Debbie to give me so I'd make no sudden moves and risk injury to my new figure. I remember we shopped, and I got some minis and swim wear. And an evening gown, off the shoulder, very soignee Debbie called it, perfect for Saturday night at the resort! She held up each item, and I nodded or else shook my head, then tried on whatever I'd nodded to. So they were all mine by choice. Wearing dresses was all by my choice. These were clothes I wanted for my very own to enjoy wearing always, dresses and panties and the like that expressed my own taste, my own femininity. Debbie reminded me repeatedly that I was choosing to be the kind of girl I was, that I was responsible for me. Then we went to a movie, something about a girl and her relationship with her mother and two guys, how she preferred the guy who was sweet to her but did enjoy now and then a wild night with the other one. I'm not sure, I fell asleep. We got home, and I could barely drink my second milkshake before tumbling into bed still in my bra and girdle. Doctor's orders. I woke up the next morning half-persuaded I really was what Debbie'd been calling me, a stylish young woman. I ran my fingers through my hair a few times to free up curls that were tangled and flattened. Then with relief I finally stripped off my girdle and bra and stepped over to the mirror. Yes, there were my cock and balls, small, centered in a generous expanse of gracefully curving hip. Curving up to my new wasp-waist, and back to form my bubble butt as Debbie described it. And hanging suspended above were two new protuberances tipped with nipples that indeed looked larger than only a few days ago. I touched them, and again I was seized with a strong, delicious, helpless desire for ... what? I touched them again and again, until I realized I was breathing heavily. They felt so delicious, my new breasts! I adored having them! The thought shocked me! There was no question this time. I was a girl. I went in to see Debbie still naked, just as I was, and sat by our bed. She was still asleep, but she sensed something and opened her eyes, and saw me sitting there looking at her, my hair a pretty corona, my face beautifully made up, my breasts pendulous over a narrow waist, my hips substantial on the narrow chair. And she smiled. Why not? I smiled back.
