Pulling my rolling suitcase behind me on the pier, I look for Quake’s boat that we went fishing in. I feel the bounce of it over the wooden planks. The sun was beaming down and I wish I had borrowed Alexia’s good pair of sunglasses so I could see better. The wind swished my red dress that had been a gift from Quake around my legs. I decided to wear it even if it is more like lingerie than substantial fabric. Others around me seem to like it. Maybe I wanted to see what Quake’s reaction would be? My breath catches as I see him. My body flushes at the sight of him. Why does he have to be so damn sexy? “Hey there, Baby Girl.” he says with a smirk.

“Hello.” I replied. I look at his open white shirt that just makes his dark chocolate skin stand out more. I gather my will and stare into his eyes. Eyes that look different. They always had this strength, but now there is a tenderness in them as well. “You know I gave up going to a Marisol Concert to be here with you. You should feel special.” I snark. Quake chuckles, “Like you couldn’t get a private concert if you wanted. That is rich. Shall we go?” He motions his strong arm out from him with a wave. “We shall.” I say throwing my head up in the air. After taking a few steps I realize I have no idea where to go. “Yo, Baby Girl, right here.” I look and see Quake pointing to a large speed boat, one big enough to have quarters underneath the top area. “Where is your boat?”

“Right here. A man can have more than one boat.” he grinned. He helps me aboard and I settle in a seat amazed at the new information I have. Quake starts up the motor and we move off from the main beach of Summer City. “So, are you secretly rich or something?” I ask. “Or SOMETHING.” he winks. “Come stand up here with me Baby Girl.” I stand and wobble a bit before I am beside Quake. “Hold on.” He says as he pushes the speed up. I grab hold of the windshield in front of me and feel my long red hair unfurling behind me. After I get used to the boat’s speed I look at Quake and shout to be heard over the wind, “What is with this Baby Girl stuff?”

“You don’t like it?” he asks. I squirm a bit. “I didn’t say that, I just, I mean….” I trail off. “Madison,” he says as he throttles the speed back. “I have always seen you as this cocky, but competent young woman. When I found you….when I found you in that club, you looked so vulnerable. I just realized I had feelings for you. I saw you differently. I also had been spending the time searching for you, seeing that even as you were under the Hot & Ready Pill’s influence, you still were doing the things you needed to do to try to make it home.” I began to say something when the alarm went off. “What is that?” I say. Quake just grins, “It is an alarm that helps keep people from getting too close to dangerous waters.”  We continue forward. I see an island ahead, it looks like a big rock jutting out of the ocean. “Should we be ignoring the alarm?”

“It is okay.” Quake flipped a switch and the alarm went silent. “Just trust me,” he leaned over grinning, “Baby Girl.” Our direction continues towards the big rock island. We passed small buoys that I figured were there to alert people to danger. Probably what triggered the alarm. Onward we go until Quake brings us around to a large dark cave. We slowly enter and proceed deep inside. The light appears as we slide next to a dock. I am dumbfounded. “What the actual fuck Quake?” I exclaim. “This is the main entrance to my home.” he says like everyone has a hidden entrance to their place. “Okay.” I replied. I had so many questions, but was just amazed. Leading up from the dock was a cement landing that had stairs ascending up into the rock of the cave.

Quake helps me out and grabs my case. I adjusted my backpack and am taking all of the cave in. It is splendid. “You can come out from behind there.” Quake calmly says. I notice where he is looking and a small boy, maybe ten years old, slips out from behind a rock outcropping. “How do you always know Quake? The boy whines. “That is classified.” Quake replies. He grabs the boy up and hoists him on his shoulders. “So you escaped again Jimmy.” Quake laughs as we climb the stairs. Soon we come to a door that opens to Quake’s palm print. We then enter a lavish foyer with bright tropical flowers adorning the tables and other surfaces.

“Just leave your bags here.” Quake says while guiding us onward. I see rooms that are made with marble walls and floors. There is a staircase leading to an upstairs level. It is all too amazing.We exit out onto a garden area. There is an infinity pool and you can see that the inside of the rock island is hollow. A vast tropical paradise is below us. A lake surrounded by such beautiful scenery. I see to my left an area that is cleared off, with a building and areas for sports and for just being in nature. “Where are we?” I whisper. “My home Baby Girl.”

Quake leads me to my room. I sit on the bed just in awe. The gruff guy that distrusted me so long ago has brought me to his most private of places. My heart was flip flopping with emotion. I decided to go back downstairs. I see Quake playing video games with the boy, Jimmy.  I stand there taking the boys in, smiling at this side of Quake. A young woman that looks to be around my age comes rushing in towering over the boy. “Jimmy you rascal, why, WHY, always running off, sneaking here to Quake’s house. Get your butt up….” She sees me and pauses. “Oh, hello? So sorry you have to hear that. The boy is always sneaking off from the Orphanage.” She moves with her arms out wide. “Orphanage?” I ask as I receive a warm, welcoming hug. 

“Where are my manners? My name is Cassandra, but everybody calls me Mama Cass. I run the Orphanage down in the valley there.” She says smiling at me. “Hi. I am Madison.” I replied. “That one there. He is always sneaking off. He should know that once I realize he is missing I know exactly where he is going.” “Aww Mama Cass you know I hate class. Quake’s house is more funner.” Jimmy grins. “More fun. That is exactly why you need to be in class.” She grabs Jimmy by the scruff of his neck and drags him off. “Nice meeting you Madison. Come visit us, please.” They left and I simply found a seat in a very soft chair. I just stared at Quake as he continued playing the game.

The game ends and Quake meets my eyes. “So I guess I need to explain some things, yes?” I just nod. “I have lived an interesting life. I have also done some very questionable things. At first it was because of coercion. Later it was for money. Eventually, I came home to the people that saved me when I was a young man. It took Mama Cass there to set me straight. She is older than she seems. Looks good for her age.” He grins.”I came to Summer City. Aphrodite, Oran, your Dad all made it so I could let go of my past. I have. I was helped by Aphrodite in building this retreat. Mama Cass was a victim of experiments like I was long ago. Can you believe that sexy gal was a Nun? They did bad to her too. She is strong, she overcame that past and I helped her build the Orphanage.” Quake stands and takes me by the hand. I rise as he is guiding me to the outside. We move to the right and up some stairs onto a deck, or a balcony, it is hard to describe. We walk to the edge of the area and you can see the entire Valley. 

“Aphrodite has used her tech to help hide this place. I rarely have visitors. The buoys you saw make people think they are headed to dangerous waters.” He motions with his hand above us. “Up there we see sky, clouds, sun, stars, moon, but above us there is a holographic web that makes it look like barren rock. Satellites have been given viruses that fool them. This is a haven, a safe place.” Quake wraps his arm around my body. I sink into him, laying my head in the crook of his arm. “Where do the children come from?” I ask quietly. “Like us that have been transformed, there are children that come from those transformed. Some are abandoned. Others have parents that are so changed they can never be parents again.” He lays his head against the top of mine. “The children here have no family, they have often been enhanced by the stuff that changed their parents. We take them in, care for them. Jason was one of our kids.”

We stand there for what seems like forever. Quake then takes us inside to the kitchen and we fix supper. I do mean we fix supper. Quake guides me through the process of making sauce, rolling meatballs, and baking bread. It was a fun time. As the sun set, we enjoyed our meal on that deck. I thought about how peaceful it was here and how loud the concert probably was back in Summer City. Quake told me a great many things about himself. I learned about how my Dad freed him from the men that experimented on him. He also told me about how he felt when I was abducted, how he realized that the feelings he had were more than simple attraction. I found myself opening up to him as well. I told him about being transgender, about my Mom and how she denied me transitioning. I just opened up about so much. It was such a wonderful night.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Jason had gotten the okay to take the ladies home. Home being Greg’s house. Alexia opened the door as Callie weakly walked inside. Jason helped them in and fussed over us. They finally convinced him they were okay and that he could leave them. Alexia goes and fixes some lavender tea. “So are you really okay Callie?” Alexia asked softly. “Yeah. I am already feeling stronger. I have never had a pain like that in years when transforming.” she paused wrapping her arms around herself, “I believe that the gas was made to hurt people as they transformed. That is so cruel.” Alexia just nodded. They heard the front door opening.

Greg came in and stopped. He let out a breath. “I didn’t know they had released you. I was coming to grab some clothes to bring to you both.” He runs his hand through his hair. “Wait, how did you get home?” Callie looks up at Greg, “Jason always assists me. He was there, He got us out. He got us to the Clinic. Jason brought us here.” Alexia jumps up and wraps her arms tight around her Dad, tears flowing as she sobbed. Greg embraced her, “It's okay Pumpkin. It's okay.” Callie’s eyes were filled with tears of her own. Greg looked down at her and reached out his arm. Callie slowly rose and fell into Greg’s embrace. Greg kisses Callie on the top of her head. “Callie, you are family. Never forget that.”

They separate after the girls cry out all their tears. Greg went and fixed a late meal for all of them. Grilled Cheese sandwiches provided a simple, yet nourishing repast. Greg explained without mentioning too much of the horror, the scene at the attack site. Callie cried again. They all shared what they had been through. Callie exhaled as she exclaimed how happy she was that Madison was not there. Greg agreed. He had spoken with some of the Trans Persons that had been forcefully detransitioned. The pain they felt. The fear that they might not be able to change back into themselves. It was a terrible time for so many. After showers and bed clothes, the three prepared for bed. The girls stood watching Greg as he came out the door to his room, planning on tucking them in. “What’s up?” he asked. “Daddy, may we sleep in your bed?” Alexia said with a very nervous look on her face. “We don’t want to be alone.” Callie softly states. Greg looked at them, so innocent, so vulnerable. “Come on.” He said as he went back into his bedroom. He slid into the middle of his bed. Soon Alexia and Callie were snuggled up along each side of Greg. He gently rubbed their backs as they slowly relaxed and fell asleep. He looked down, happy, wondering how he had gotten so lucky to have three wonderful daughters in his life. Soon sleep overtook him.

The moon was full and the sky was amazing on Quake’s Island. I was standing just staring up as he cleared the dishes and cleaned up. I lost track of time, mesmerized by the amazing night sky. I heard music begin to play softly. I felt myself swaying to the beat. Quake had slipped behind me and was soon spinning me around in his arms. We began dancing as the music played. The cool night air surrounded us. It was magical. I lay my head on his chest as we just danced close together for hours. Soon we had moved to a large chaise lounge chair that was nestled to the far end of that deck. I lay secure in his arms and we talked way into the night.

Early in the morning I dozed off. I felt myself being picked up and carried. Soon I was in my room in the bed. I felt Quale kiss my forehead. I reached up and pulled him into a full mouth kiss. My tongue slid in his mouth. My need for him was shown through that searing kiss. He pulled away. I looked up with questioning eyes. “Later, Baby Girl.” He said. “Later after you have rested. I want it to be special.” He kissed me again and my body went loopy. Then he left and after a bit I drifted back to sleep. I dreamed of dancing and of life with Quake.

BING BONG BING 

BING BONG BING

“What?” Greg said sleepily. He then realized it was the doorbell sounding. He twisted and turned, realizing he was entangled between two bodies. Alexia groaned and Callie opened her eyes. “Sorry girls, someone is at the door. Soon Greg was free. He hurried to the front door and saw Daphne starting to turn away. He swung the door open and said, “Wait, I’m here!” Daphne turned and smiled, “It is about time lover boy.” She hugged Greg, giving him a steamy kiss. “So what kept you, were you that dead asleep?” Greg blushed. “Well, you see, the girls were so shaken after the attack. They asked to sleep in my bed. Ah, well, it was kind of hard to get out of bed with them on each side of me.” Greg blushed

“You know, most girlfriends would be really jealous hearing her man slept with two hotties.” she grinned. “Lucky for you I am not most girlfriends.” She leaned up and kissed Greg. “Ugh!” they heard from behind them as Alexia came down the stairs. “Sorry, it's just Dad kissing, too early, need coffee.” Daphne giggled as she followed Alexia into the kitchen. Callie came down the stairs laughing. “You okay Greg?” she asked. Greg turned and looked at Callie. “My dear, you can call me Dad. In fact the next time you don’t I am going to put you over my knee.” Callie came up and kissed his cheek whispering, “Is that a promise Dad?” She skipped off to the kitchen as Greg realized he was sporting a very hard erection.

The four fixed a simple breakfast and it was tense for a bit. “Okay!” Daphne laid her hands loudly on the table. “So tell me about what happened.” Callie looked at Greg, then Alexia, who was looking at Greg. “Oh well, I guess I am selected to tell the story.” Greg replied. “So basically, the girls were at the Marisol Concert and a group of Partisans came in and threw these gas bombs. Chaos ensued. Many were hurt by the gas, no casualties at least, but many injured.” Greg began fiddling with his fork, slipping it around his plate. “Anyway, a friend of the family was there, he grabbed the girls and got them out of there. They avoided the gas and the chaos. Still, they were taken to a Health Clinic for city employees.” Daphne grabbed the girls’ hands. “I am so glad you are alright.”

“Yeah, we were lucky.” Callie said. Daphne then looked at Greg. “So, the rumors that the gas caused a reversion of the transformation drugs and processes is not true?’ Greg cleared his throat, “Uh, well, it is an ongoing investigation….” he stammered. “So yes is the answer. Daphne smirked. “Greg it is okay, you don’t have to say anything. I know your job has secrets.” After the conversation stalled they all cleaned up. Daphne headed to work. Greg headed to shower. Callie and Alexia sat in the living room watching the morning news. Suddenly the screen blurs and then Aphrodite appears. “Good morning Callie, Alexia.” The AI said cheerily. “I have good news.” Callie was the first to respond. “Is it about the gas attack?” “Sure is.” the AI replied. “So Alexia, you are fine. Not having ever used any type of transforming pills, you were unaffected.” Alexia let go of a breath she was holding.”Callie, you were lucky. The small amount of exposure did force you to switch back to your normal transformed self. We will see if the Marisol change happens normally, but it should and you are not in any danger.” Callie looked worried. “What about the other people?” Callie asked.

“They have been affected on a molecular level. Some did like you Callie and just changed back. Others, they have been transforming at random from one gender to another. Each time is painful. The worst cases have been placed into induced comas to keep them from going through the changes and knowing what is happening.” Aphrodite paused. “I am working on a counter agent to stop the effects and allow those that want to become a different gender to do so.” Greg came down the stairs holding his Tablet. “Oh, Aphrodite. I guess you told them what I have been reading?” “More or less Greg. I didn’t go into all the details.” With that said Greg grabbed his coat and credentials and headed out the door. He paused, “Jason will be by later. I want you two to stay here at home today. Please do this, I need to know you are safe and sound.” “Yes Dad.” they said in unison, giggling. Thus the day began as both Greg and Aphrodite began their work.

The smell of coffee and bacon woke me. I got up and decided to take a shower. The shower was made to look like a waterfall. Wow, this place was amazing. The cascading water felt wonderful. I found my lilac shampoo and lathered my head. It was so good to just feel the water on my skin. I took my time. I was so tempted to do more, but my stomach was calling for food. After drying a bit I rolled my hair up in a towel. I had gotten pretty good at this little trick. I stood naked looking at my clothes choices. I decided on a cute green bra and panty set, navy skorts, and my Dreamer T-shirt. I sprayed a bit of body mist and skipped downstairs.

“Good Morning!” I called out, then pulled up short. “Uh, Mama Cass, it's you, good morning.” A hearty laugh echoes through the kitchen. “Morning Madison. Bet I wasn’t who you were expecting.” she winked. I slip onto a stool at the counter. “No. Not Really.” I say, blushing. “Coffee?” she asks. “Yes, please.” I replied, “Milk and sugar please.” Mama Cass fixes my coffee and grins as she hands it to me. “We had a plumbing emergency at the Orphanage. Quake is down there. I volunteered to fix breakfast. Plus, truthfully, I wanted to meet the only woman he has ever brought home.” Her sparkling eyes took me in. “So, do I pass the test?” I grin.

“Well, so far you seem his type for sure.” Mama Cass checked the eggs as she continued to cook. “Look, he has talked about you every time he comes home since meeting you. Take a look over on that shelf.” I look where she motions and I see a framed picture of me with the fish I caught. “That’s….” I stare my mouth open. “Yes girl, that is that big fish you speared. You showed him that you were tough and that you didn’t give up.” She finished her cooking and set the table. “Come on, let’s eat.” I get up and join her. My stomach growls as I take bacon from the plate. Mama Cass laughs. “So, you run an orphanage, how did that happen?” I ask.

“I was a Nun. I spent decades as a teacher. When I ended up captured by some very bad men, I was experimented on. It was bad. I was a guinea pig for so many transforming chemicals. They finally made me this sexy hottie. I believe they were planning on selling me to a cult of Satan Worshipers. They thought that would be funny.” She paused, taking a breath. “That was the day that Quake and some others raided the base. I was rescued, but I was not who I once was. The Church has taken a dim view on any who have been transformed, whether it was their choice or not. So, as the months went by, I hung around Quake and others like us. Soon I found out just how many children were left alone and parentless. Aphrodite helped me gather what was needed, Quake provided the place, and then we opened for business.”

Mama Cass went on to explain the place of children in Summer City. I realized I had not seen any kids around as she told me how things worked. Pregnancies were handled in the nearby suburb called Autumndale. All women that were pregnant moved there. Families were there and you lived there until your child was eighteen and then you could move back to Summer City or stay there. The difference was the free love and free use ways of Summer City. Autumndale was not where people were sexing it up. It made sense in this world where people could change genders and personalities that a safe place for families was established. Some people commuted to work and to play as one might say. I guess I read that in the Orientation Book, but truthfully, I wasn’t so concerned about starting a family, just being a woman.

The door from the side of the Kitchen opens and Quake saunters in. “Ladies, my ears have been burning, have you had a good breakfast? Did you leave anything for me?” I roll my eyes and hide my smile. “You silly man.” Mama Cass sighs. “Did you at least get the water working?” He plops down in a chair filling a plate as Mama Cass gets him a coffee. “Yes Ma’am. I left the girls taking care of things. It was working when I left them.” He began eating. “The girls, Madison, are Tina and Helen, they are two of our graduates. They loved helping out so much that after going to school they have come back. They help as teachers and dorm mothers.” Mama Cass took our plates and started cleaning. I rise to go help. “Nope, you sit right back down Miss.” I obey and sit back down. “Oh, the girls have planned a barbeque for tomorrow. I told them that Madison and I would be there.”

Callie had pushed herself to do some yoga out in the yard. The stretching had been good. Her muscles had been aching since forced to transform. Each movement made her feel better. Sweat trickled down her back as the exposed skin between her top and pants glistened. She stretched her legs out before her and finished with a stretch of her torso between her legs. As her chest rested on the mat, her back felt the tight strength of her muscles. She let her mind wander a bit. Thoughts of Madison played in her mind. The love they shared. Her heart warmed as did her skin. Slowly her body shifted and soon the silky black hair formed and her skin became a rich deep color, slightly darker than her own. Callie was Marisol.

Standing she looked at her arms. The top was very tight. She toweled off, hating the feel of sweat on her body. Marisol felt disgusting. How her other self could love this feeling was beyond her. She struggled trying to remove the top, then stopped, realizing she was outside in a yard. Hurriedly she went inside. She felt odd as she knew where to go, but had never been in this house. Climbing the stairs she again began trying to free herself from the binding yoga top. Her breasts stretched it out double what Callie had. Soon she was free, dropping the top in the hall. The yoga pants were tight, but easier to peel off her shapely ass. Standing in the bathroom she admired her body in the mirror. Soon she had the shower going and once the water flowed over her she felt relief. She found a bottle of Tea Tree and Mint Body Wash and smiled. She had bought this for Madison. It was nice to know the girl had taken her advice. Lathering up she smiled. Callie had a good girlfriend.

Alexia was cleaning. Something she never did. She had finished in the kitchen and decided that was enough. Jason had called and he was bringing pizza for lunch. Alexia finished making a salad to go with the pizza. Hearing the shower going she had a naughty thought. Callie seemed to like help in the shower, why shouldn’t she go aid her Sister’s gal. Sneaking up stairs she begins stripping out of her clothes, finding the yoga top on the floor. She picks it up and throws it along with her own clothes into her bedroom. Quietly she slips into the bathroom and the steam is making a warm fog as Alexia creeps along to the shower door. She enters and wraps her arms around the body in the shower.

“WHAT THE FUCK!” a woman screams. Alexia jumps back as water drenches her. She stares wide eyed as the person turns. “Marisol?!?” Alexia exclaims. “I am so sorry, so sorry.” Alexia stammers as she retreats out of the shower and bathroom. She runs to her room and slams the door. Alexia is shaking. “Oh My God! Oh My God” she repeats over and over as she grabs for clothes. Nervous energy has her picking up and throwing clothes around from the floor as she at last finds a large oversize tee. A soft knock comes at the door. “Hello?” Marisol says as she cracks the door a bit. “May I come in?” Alexia froze. “Okay.” she heard herself say. The door opens and a towel clad Marisol can in. Her black hair was wet and her smile was beaming. “So, I take it Callie has corrupted you in her naughty ways, no?” Marisol laughed. “I kid. You must be Alexia, Madison’s sister.” Marisol reached her hand out. “Yes.” Alexia squeaked. As she took Marisol’s hand the woman pulled her into a hug.

Once the embrace ended. Marisol looked at her and then at her closet. “So do you have anything cool I can borrow?” Marisol began looking through the closet. “This is cute.” She pulls a lavender pair of overalls out of the closet. “Hmm? Maybe with this crop top, the pastel pink should pair nicely.” Marisol turns with the clothes laid across her body. “Now, we need a bra. Madison is smaller than me, but we seem to be about the same size.” Alexia is just standing awestruck. Soon Marisol has found a bra that works, a nice pair of panties that being a thong fits okay over her ample curves. Dressed, she turns and looks at Alexia. “Okay, let us get you dressed Sweetie.” Alexia stares, “Okay.” Marisol looks at her and asks, “Can you say more than one word at a time hun?” “Yes.” Alexia replies, then she smiles and laughs as she realizes what she just did. “I mean yes I can say more than one word at a time.” The two then seek out an outfit for Alexia and chat, with Alexia apologizing multiple times for the shower.

Quake had told me to dress for swimming. He was taking me to the lagoon that lay inside the island. I put on my green bikini and over that my tan cargo shorts and a loose workout shirt. I packed some water and other things in my backpack and we were off. It was a beautiful hike down the valley and to the gorgeous lagoon. We were on the opposite side to where the Orphanage was located. We came to a place where a small cottage sat near the water. “Whose is that?” I asked. “Does anyone else live on your island?” Quake laughed. “Oh Baby Girl, if you only knew.” I settled down and decided to go for a swim. Quake said he needed to check on the cottage as he hadn’t been here in a week or so. I shrugged and stripped down to my bikini and entered the water. It was so blue. It felt wonderful and soon I was swimming without noticing how far from the shore I had traveled. I saw an outcropping of rocks and decided to head there for a rest. As I neared I was shocked to see a gorgeous and very naked woman sunning on part of the rocks.

She stirred as I came up out of the water. I squeezed the water out of my hair as I walked towards her.”Hi there. I hope you don’t mind me resting, I kinda swam farther than I realized.” Her eyes sparkled. “Nope, it is a free rock.” she said. Her hair was dirty blonde but had streaks of vibrant purple. It was wild and unkempt. Her body was magnificent. Muscle tone was evenly spread along her entire body. She wasn’t like a bodybuilder, but she had muscle as well. “I am Petra.” she said as she motioned me to sit by her. “Madison.” I replied, sitting by her. “I didn’t know anyone else was on the island. Do you work at the Orphanage?” Petra giggled. “No. But I do visit there. My girlfriend lives and works there, Helen?” I shake my head. “I have just met Mama Cass and Jimmy.” “Jimmy!” she exclaimed, “That scamp. Let me guess. He snuck somewhere around Quake’s house. One day that kid will find a way in, I swear.” I looked puzzled. “You know Quake, I mean of course you know Quake, you are here in the island lagoon….” I babble. “Madison.” She takes my hand, “Take a swim with me.” I let her guide me to the water. I watch her jump in then I follow. I then get the shock of my life.

I look at her in the water and I see a purple tail swishing around. Her hips are scaly and a prismatic purple as the water makes her body sparkle. “You’re a….you’re a…..a…..a…” I murmur. “A Mermaid. I am a Mermaid.” She smiles and boops my nose. “You are so cute. I like you. Tell ya what, I know where you need to go, so grab my shoulders and hold on.” I am entranced as I do as she says. In a flash we take off through the water. It is AMAZING as we cut across the lagoon. Soon she is along the shore where the little cottage is located. “Here we are.” I stumble out of the water and sit in the sand. Petra maneuvers herself on a concrete slab I had not noticed before. “Just need to dry off and we can go up to the cottage.” she says. I watch stunned as slowly her bottom half changes. As the water dries off her tail her legs return. “No wonder you are so ripped," I say. “Thank you Sweetie. I do like my muscles.” Soon we are walking to the little house, which I realize is bigger than it looks at first glance. She motions for me to sit on the porch as she goes inside. Soon she returns wrapped in a gorgeous fabric of yellow. It is some kind of wrap dress. She looks beautiful. She hands me an Orange Soda and we sit sipping and chatting.

So, I learned Mermaids are real. They are yet another misuse of the transformation technology of formulas and chemicals. It all started with rich men wanting to brag about having their own harems of Mermaids. From there the process advanced. The thing is that it only works in a small percentage of women and never men. Petra and her pod are women who have escaped captivity and ended up in the waters of Summer City. They stay hidden. The Island has an underwater system of caves that they use and live in. When they want some time on land they come here. They can spend around two days out of the water before they need to return or they get sick. It seems only salt water can cause the transformation. It was very informative. As the sun was setting, Quake came around the back of the cottage. He was accompanied by a woman that was pretty in a “girl next door” way. Her dark blonde hair was up in a ponytail and she wore a simple pair of shorts and a red bikini top.

Petra jumps up and picks the woman up in her arms. “My love!” She showers the gal in kisses. “Please tell me you haven’t been messing with this rogue behind my back?” she teased. “No Petra, you are the only one for me.” They share a searing kiss as Quake takes a seat beside me. “Madison,” he begins, “when she comes up for air you can meet Helen.” I giggle as they continue to embrace. I realize that Petra might not need to come up for air for a long while. They part. Helen looks over at me, “Madison, you’re Madison.” She smiles and gives me a big hug. “You are all Jimmy has been talking about. He is right, you are a hot tamale.” she giggles. “I didn’t believe I made that big of an impression on him.” I blush. “Oh, for sure you did. He is a wanna be Quake, so you interest him mightily.” Helen explained. We stay with the ladies until dusk, sharing a meal of fish and rice. It is handy having a Mermaid around.

As we walked back Quake explained where the rest of the pod was while Petra was hanging around the island. They were exploring a nearby system of caves as a possible safe hideaway if they needed it. They would be checking for dangers, seeing what might be available for cover and shelter, as well as food in the area. It all sounded so secret spy type stuff. He explained that the Mermaids were hunted by those that owned them. If they ever were discovered they wanted to be prepared. That made me very sad. Thinking about how they were so beautiful and wonderful, living in two worlds, yet always worried of being captured. I shivered. We made it back to the house tired and ready for bed. Quake kissed me goodnight and I was a bit frustrated. I stripped naked and found a “friend” that Callie had packed for me. I worked my pussy all night letting go of all that pent up frustration. After a few orgasms I drifted off to sleep.

Jason arrived with pizza and a surprised face when Marisol opened the door. Alexia and Marisol had been watching a silly reality show called Lust Log Cabin. A bunch of sexy singles were blind folded and left in the woods at a Log Cabin, which really was a modern mansion of sorts. It was a competition to see who could have the most sex or something. It really made no sense, but it was fun to watch. Jason dropped the pizzas in the Kitchen, while Alexia got out plates and set the table before retrieving the Salad she had made. Marisol looked put out as we opened the pizza boxes. “What’s the matter Princess?” Jason teased her. “Well, I mean you were expecting Callie, so I know that you didn’t get a pizza I love.” she pouted. With fake drama Jason whirled a box under her nose and smiled. “Just for you M’Lady, one hamburger, habanero, and pineapple special.” He pecked her with a kiss on the cheek. “I wagered that since the cycle was interrupted you might be Marisol sooner than later.” I looked puzzled, “Cycle?” “Oh yeah, our girls here have a regular time that they shift. It is how Marisol can actually schedule concerts and stuff. We just have to hope that the changes stay similar.” Marisol was busy biting into a slice of pizza, “Heavenly Divine Food of the Goddess.” she gasped. Alexia giggled.

As the night went on, Alexia noticed the way that Jason and Marisol teased and flirted. She wondered if there was something going on there? How would that affect Madison if there was something? Greg arrived home and sat with them as they finished supper. He guided Alexia away from the front door as Marisol said goodbye to Jason. When she came into the living room she was smiling from ear to ear. “Someone has a boyfriend.” Alexia sang out. “Nunt Uhn.” Marisol pouted. Greg laughed. Marisol looked at him and asked, “Is it okay that I am here Mr. Anderson?” Greg frowned. “Do you know what the arrangement is between Callie and I about my name?” Marisol raises an eyebrow. “No…..NO!” Realization suddenly hits Marisol as Callie’s memories, which are her memories, storm her brain. “You wouldn’t dare! No way would you…” “What would he do?” Alexia asks. “There is no way your Father would put me over his knee and spank my bottom.” Marisol crossed her arms over her chest and made a spoiled little girl face. “Oh I wouldn’t, would I?” Greg stood. As he gained height Marisol’s eyes got wide and as she sank back in the couch she screamed, “OKAY DADDY! I’m sorry.” Greg smiled and sat back down while Alexia literally fell on the floor laughing.

After things settled down, Greg looked at Marisol and asked, “So you have a crush on Jason, yes?” Marisol bit her lip and blushed. “Yes.” “You could do worse.” Greg replied. “He has always been a good young man. I have known him since he came to us after his parents were… Well, they didn’t fare too well when a jealous family member did some bad things.” He looked grim as the memories of that job came back to him. “Dad?” Alexia spoke. “Yes, pumpkin.” Greg looked at her. “You really have lived a very different life than what I thought you had.” Greg got up and kissed Alexia on the head. “I have, not all of it has been good memories either. So on that cheery note, I am going to bed. I hope you two can sleep in your own beds, yes?” Alexia nodded and Marisol began to speak as Greg interrupted her, “You are in Madison’s room.” She just closed her mouth and watched as Greg went upstairs. Later the house was silent as the three slept peacefully.

I stretched upon waking. I had ended up sleeping naked and it felt wonderful. The sun streaked through the window as paradise was on full display. I walked to the window and looked out. It really was a peaceful place. We were going to the Orphanage today. I decided my overall shorts and my comicbook character tee would be best. I loved this character. After a second movie with them, well, everybody knew they were trans. All the little signs were there. I loved this tee because it was their colors, looked like their costume, and had a hood with a built-in mask. I giggled as I put on some light makeup. 

“Good Morning!” I sing out as I breeze in the kitchen. “Hey Baby Girl.” Quake says as he flips a pancake. It is a fun morning. I take every opportunity to touch him, tease him. I place little kisses on his cheek as we cook. “Someone is feeling very frisky.” Quake comments. “What gave you that idea?” I giggle. “Madison.” He says seriously while pulling me to him, “I need to know, I need to be sure. You love Callie, I see that. I know she can share her love with others at the same time, but can you?” I feel our bodies pressed together. Our pelvises are snug and I can feel his excitement. “Quake, I have learned so much about myself. I have done things I never imagined even in my wildest fantasies. I do know, I have come to realize my capacity to love is bigger than I ever could imagine.” I wrap my arms around his body and rest my head on his chest.”I also realized something else,” I pause, “I am a slut.” Quake was silent, but he didn’t let go. “I like sex and I really like sucking cock. I mean since the abduction I find myself accepting offers from men and doing stuff for fun or money.” Quake kissed the top of my head. “Madison, I love all of you. When I saw you being used by those men in that club, it wasn’t the fact you were with them, it was that they had kept you as a slave.” I feel his arms tighten hard around me. “I know that people are not the sum of their actions nor desires. People are who they are at their core. I love you, ALL of you.” He leans down and takes my chin pulling my head so I look in his eyes, then he kisses me. Our tongues feel like one as we kiss. It is like our lives depend on this connection. I feel a queasy, tingley, emotional feeling traveling from my belly down to my clit. My toes curl and I do that little bend of the knee that you see in all the romantic movies.

Quake turns the stove off and removes the food. He takes my hand and leads me up to his bedroom. I stare wide eyed as he guides me through. There is a large fish tank embedded in one wall. All sorts of tropical fish are lazily swimming. I see a fireplace, a sofa, a nice reading area, and a wall of books. Quake begins stripping me of my clothes. He takes his time. As he reaches down and unhooks my bra, he kisses my arm, along my shoulder, up to my neck and then nibbles my ear. He picks me up with ease and tosses me on the bed. I watch as Quake slowly removes his shirt. His chocolate colored skin is revealed inch by inch. I marvel at how defined his muscles are. Then he unbuckles his belt and slowly unfastens his jeans. In one motion he pushes jeans and underwear down those strong legs and I gasp as I see his surging cock. It is large, wise, and possibly still growing. My mouth waters as I stare at that glorious rod. I barely notice him sliding my thong off my legs.

Once my legs are freed from the scrap of fabric Quake spreads my them and begins kissing up along my thighs. My back is arching and I am squirming. I clutch my breast and twist my nipples as he finds the treasure he was seeking. His tongue baths my folds before sliding inside. It floods my body with endorphins as I am on the verge of orgasm. I feel a finger slide inside as his tongue retreats. Soon two fingers are in me and gliding along each side of my clit. I shudder and lose control. I squirt a stream of cum as my body arches and quakes. I wonder if that is how….my mind goes blank as I drop from the crest of the orgasm. I barely notice Quake climbing along my body. He takes a breast in his mouth letting his tongue swish around my nipple. I am groaning and making sounds that barely sound human. Quake attacks my breasts and nipples and soon he has me lost in the bliss of my exuberance. I cum hard. Before I catch my breath his mouth is over mine. We make out, enjoying each other's bodies. His hands caressing and rubbing my body.

I need him in me. I need him so badly. I move with slow jerks until I am on all fours. I spread my legs and lower my head forcing my ass high. He slaps my cheeks playfully. Kissing each after every smack. Then I feel him grip my hips and he is rubbing his cock along my folds. I feel him become slick with my fluids. Suddenly he thrust deep inside me. I moan slowly and long as he fills my canal. Soon he is moving with a purpose. Deeper and deeper he goes as I push back against his pelvis. He grabs my hair and twists his hand around, filling his grip with the red tresses. My head is pulled back forcing my back to curve, Quake never loses a beat. Soon I am lost in wave after wave of pure joyous pleasure. I feel his head grow as he begins to let l go and fill me with his seed. It is hot and it is massive. I feel it oozing out around his shaft and my tight pussy.

After a bit he rolls off of me. I look and see that his cock is still straight and hard as he lays on his back. I slowly move until I take as much of him as I can in my mouth. I taste our combined nectar before licking all around his still iron like rod. I position my body so I am straddling him. I lift high over his cock and then slowly let myself down. I grin at him as I begin rocking forward and back letting him slide in and out of my hungry cunt. We made love slowly for a while as I let him rest. He plays with my small breasts and it sends shocks through my body. I lose count of how many times I came. My hair was matted with sweat. I feel him erupt again in me and I settle down until I am laying on his chest, impaled on his amazing cock.

We lay like that for a long time. I admit, I might have fallen asleep. I wake up still on his chest, Quake is gently running his hand along my back. I am still filled with his shaft. I wiggle and smile. “Hey.” I say. “Hello Baby Girl.” I rest content on him as the minutes tick away. “You know we will eventually have to get up, right?” He says. I pout at him. Quake tickles me and I slip off him laughing and yelling, “I Give! I Give!” He moves out of bed and lifts me in his arms. I kick my legs and squirm as he takes me into a large cavern. The living area was built flush around it. I see a small waterfall and below it is a pool of water and then the overflow drops off down a crevasse. He walks us into the pool and dips us below the water. I am expecting to feel a shock from cold water, but it is warm. He grins at me. “The water is fed by a hot spring. It is a nice temp all year long.” We spend hours relaxing and cleaning each other. I suck him off and am surprised that he has anything to give me, but I am a happy slut.

++++++++++++++

We cleaned up for a few hours. I lay naked on Quake’s bed watching him get dressed. I felt happy. “Who would have thought that you and I would end up together?” I smiled while stretching my body like a lazy feline. “Actually, your girlfriend did.” Quake grinned. “WHAT?!?” I sat up and looked at him like he had grown a purple mushroom on his head. “Oh yeah, she gave me so much grief about it. Until the day you went missing.” Quake picked up my thong and kneeled on one knee waiting for me to step in. I placed my hands on his shoulders and did so. His hands lingered as he pulled my thong along my legs. “I’ll let you handle this…” he said as he handed me my bra. “Okay big man.” I put my bra on and then picked up my Hoodie shirt and pulled it on. Quake slid my overall shorts up and stood so he could fasten them. He took me in his arms and kissed me gently.

After a bit more making out we gathered some things and headed off down a cavern that led out to a trail. From there we would wind our way to the Orphanage. Surrounding the property there seemed to be these massive metal slabs interspersed between short walls. “Interesting design. What is it?” I ask. Quake grins and says, “Protection.” I roll my eyes. “If ever the Orphanage needs to be shut off and protected, these slabs turn and make a complete wall around the property. They stay open so the kids don’t feel like they are trapped.” As we came closer to the Orphanage a gaggle of children ran from all around us and started to pile on Quake. He lowered himself to the ground laying so the kids could just pile on. Soon he was under a pile of youngsters. I did notice one little girl standing off by herself. She was just staring at me.

“Okay, that is enough. Let Mr. Quake up you lot.” Mama Cass had come over and was getting the children off Quake. Soon I was meeting all the children. Jimmy of course was bragging that he met me first. Still, that one kid just hung back, watching. “Madison!” a high pitched squeal accompanied a hug as Helen almost knocked me down. “Hi, Helen.” I say. Petra joins her picking me up and spinning me around. “Hello Babe.” She says as she spins me. A shy, yet pretty young woman walks up. Her straight black hair is stunning. “I’m Tina, Ma’am.” the girl says as she extends a hand. I take her hand and say, “First, it is nice to meet you Tina, second, it’s just Madison, not Ma’am. I am close to your age.” “Yes Ma’am…I mean yes Madison.” she replies. From there we have a feast being prepared. It was fun just relaxing and playing with the children.

After the food was ready and we ate our fill, I went and sat under the shade of a tree. The little girl, maybe around four or five, comes up and makes a PSST sound as she does a familiar motion with her hands. I realize she is playing the character on my shirt. I make like I am dodging as I return the gesture. She smiles and comes over to me. I look at her and say, “My name is Madison. What is your name?” “Gwen.” she replies. “Just like the character on my shirt.” Her smile is beaming as she climbs in my lap. We chatted for a long time. She loves comics. We talk about all kinds of books and characters. Gwen is a sweetheart of a little girl. I didn’t realize how late it had gotten until Tina and Mama Cass came over to get Gwen for bed. I hug Gwen and as she is taking Tina’s hand she grins at me, “Bye Bye Madison.” Mama Cass is standing with a large smile on her face.

“Madison. How did you get her to talk? I watched her sit in your lap and talk more than she has ever spoken in the weeks she has been here.” Mama Cass beams. “I don’t know, she just kinda did.” I say. She likes comics and shares a name with the character on my shirt.” I watch as the children are shuffled into the building. “Well I might have to hire you. We have tried to connect with her and it just seemed like nothing would crack that shell.” Mama Cass and I walked to the other adults. Quake was serving adult beverages, some fruity looking cocktails. Petra motions me over and I sit with her and Helen. Tina had volunteered to make sure the children got to bed so we all could visit. As we are all enjoying each other’s company I hear Helen’s conversation with Petra. “They say Marisol hasn’t been seen since the attack. No one is sure about her.” she says. “That is awful. The whole mess is terrible. Those Partisans are bad people.” Petra exclaims. “Excuse me. What was that about Marisol?” I ask.

Helen proceeds to tell me about the attack on the concert. I look at Quake and he nods. “Well, ladies, it has been a wonderful evening, but Madison and I really need to get going.” I said good-bye and was anxious as we made our way back. “Quake.” I say. “I know Madison, I know.” He answers. It feels like we walk forever. Once we are back in the house I follow Quake as we go to his bedroom. “Why are we here, Quake? I need to find out if Alexia and Callie are alright.” He doesn’t answer, he just walks over to his wall of books. I watch as he pulls a book out of one spot and exchanges it with another. Suddenly, a hidden door swings open. Inside is a hub of computers. My mouth is open as we enter. “What the hell Quake?” He begins tapping on a keyboard. It is not long before Aphrodite appears on the main screen. “Hello you two.” The AI greets us. “I have a feeling you have heard?” I step forward and angrily shout, “Yes we heard! How are they? Is Callie okay? Alexia?” Tears are beginning to fall as I lose control of myself.

Quake wraps an arm around me pulling him to his chest. “What happened?” his voice rumbles. “It was a surprise attack on the concert. Let me say that Callie and Alexia are fine. Jason got them out. It was a gas that forced a reversal in transformations. Marisol was affected, but not like the victims were.” I listen as she explains the attack in detail. She also tells me that Greg asked that she not contact us since the women were fine. He wanted me to have a moment of peace. My heart was breaking, but I was also angry that I was not told. Quake held me as I cried and just broke down in relief. “We are heading back tonight.” Quake states. “As I expected. Madison, please don’t be too hard on your Dad, he made the decision out of love.” Aphrodite said. The rest of the night is a blur. I don’t remember packing or any of it really. I just know now I am in the boat and we are speeding home.
