After the Dreams (Caroline's Company) (8 page)

Didn’t Janet like Jo?

Jo spoke to Cassie in a low tone.

‘All the tests we did the other day have come back. They all
look extremely good, so if you want we can start your treatment.’

‘When?’

‘Well if you would like, we have everything here. Perhaps
the full moon would make it a propitious time for you as well as for Poppy.’
This sounded as though the doctor did not quite believe in the effects of the
full moon, or the propitious time for Poppy!

‘What is going to happen to Poppy?’

‘We will all find out soon. Would you like to come along?’

Jo took Cassie’s hand and led her back through the dining
room, empty now, with no sign of the three men or the girls.

The fresh fruit meringue was still on the window table.
Plates and forks were ready beside it.

‘Ooh – just a little more of that I think.’ Jo said rather
greedily. ‘Would you like some?’

Cassie was unsure. ‘Don’t worry. We won’t play tricks with
your voice tonight. You are part of the audience tonight, not the
entertainment!’

Jo served Cassie and then herself a generous portion, and
both of them revelled in the meltingly light and sweet meringue mingling with
the fresh texture and complementary tastes of the soft fruit.

Jo licked her full lips clean, and grinned at the younger
woman who was doing much the same thing.

‘It’s as well I don’t have to eat this every day. I’d be a
sugar junkie in no time at all. Fortunately there’s no history of diabetes in
my family! Come on, let’s get you started. This way.’

They went through the hall to the big workroom, and to the
small white clinic-like room beyond it.

‘I’m very impressed with you Cassandra. I think Caroline was
right. Again! You are a natural. Now there are several ways of delivering your
hormone treatments. For you I think a fortnightly injection of Estradiol
Valerate will be best, and you can take 200mg of Spironolactone every day. Have
you started that already?’

‘Yes. Caroline said I should.’

‘Good. Now if you like to slip your dress off and lie face
down on the couch...’

Cassie was slightly shocked. Did she have to be naked
(nearly naked) with yet another person? She was used to Caroline and Sylvie by
now but another woman? Then she remembered that Jo (Dr Startway) had already
conducted a most intimate examination of her.

She felt for the catch at the back of the copper collar that
held up her dress, and managed to open it. Her dress fell to her waist.
Instinctively she put hands over her (false) breasts.

The doctor smiled little at this very female gesture.

‘Let me pull the dress down here. So.’

She helped Cassie step out of the dress, then carefully
picked it up off the floor, and hung it on one of a series of hooks on the
wall. Cassie sat on the couch, just wearing her stockings and heels, and her
little thong. She kept her hands over her chest as she pulled herself onto the
couch and lay face down.

The doctor pulled on a pair of latex gloves.

‘This may sting a bit.’

There was a cold wet touch on Cassie’s bottom.

‘Ready?’

‘Yes.’

Cassie felt the injection into her left buttock, and then
her bottom was rubbed gently.

She felt a brief touch of lips kissing her bottom.

‘That wasn’t so bad was it? I’ll just put some healing cream
onto the injection site.’

Her bottom was rubbed again.

‘That’s it. All done for now.’

There was a knock on the door.

‘Yes?’

‘It’s Sadie Doctor.’

‘Do you mind if Sadie comes in?’

Cassie wondered who else was going to see her (nearly) bare
bottom that evening. But after all, she had seen much more of Sadie.

‘No – not at all.’

‘You really should talk with Sadie anyway, and she’s only
here sometimes.’

‘Come in Sadie, and meet Cassandra, or rather be introduced
to Cassandra.’

Sadie came into the room.

‘I bought some more clothes for Cassie Doctor.’

‘Good. That’s nice of you.’

Cassie turned her head sideways, and saw a different Sadie
to the nearly naked girl who had waited on the fully dressed guests at dinner.

Now what she was wearing looked... cheap and tarty. A red
and black bustier, pushed up her breasts, a little red frilled skirt so short
it made it impossible for her to hide her black and red panties, and black
stockings and suspenders.

Cassie realised that she was becoming ever more critical of
female costume. She also realised that suspenders only looked good on very
rounded hips and thighs. Sadie was quite rounded, but not perhaps enough for
that look.

Her makeup was also a quite tarty. Bright red lips and green
eyeshadow made her face look as though it was meant to be deliberately sexy,
and ended up being less so. She carrying some zipped clothes bags over her arm.
She opened one.

‘Here you are.’ Sadie held out a silk teddy for Cassie to
put on.

Both the clothed women helped Cassie into the soft garment.
Shoulder straps pulled it over her breast forms, and Jo adjusted straps for
her.

‘There, and these as well.’

Sadie clasped a beautiful bronze and copper necklace around
her neck. Cassie felt it to be quite heavy.

She realised that she couldn’t have worn it earlier, because
the copper band that had held up her evening dress would have got in the way.

Sadie held out long black evening gloves for her, and helped
her work her fingers into them and smoothed them up her arms past her elbows.

‘That is quite stylish,’ said the tarty looking girl, as she
re-fastened Cassie’s copper and bronze bracelet around her glove. ‘You need to
touch up your lip gloss.’

Cassie looked round for her
clutch bag, and realised she had left it in the drawing room.

There was a mirror on the far side of the room. (There were
always discrete mirrors in this house.) Cassie caught site of herself, and
almost instinctively shook her hair a little and posed for the best effect. The
black teddy, shot through with the bronze that was her theme for the evening,
covered her fairly modestly, although it left plenty of bare thigh above her
stocking tops. The effect of the gloves was to make her look dressed to look
undressed, like the models in the lingerie catalogues she had been studying in
her room. She looked young, sexy, but stylish and almost innocent.

The other two women exchanged a smile.

‘Caroline was right,’ said Sadie, ‘she is a natural!’

‘But how are you?’ asked Jo. ‘Was David rough with you?’

‘He wasn’t exactly rough. You know what he’s like. He always
apologies when he’s finished. I think he’s gone now. I suggested to him that he
should stay, but he only shook his head and went off.’

‘You’re a good girl to help him.’

‘If it helps you as well, Doctor of course I’ll do whatever
I can.’

‘Thank you Sadie. Now I think
we still have a few minutes, shall we check on your treatments? And you can get
out of those horrible things.’

With what appeared to Cassie to be amazing speed, Sadie
stripped to her little thong and sat up on the couch. When she had first seen
her nearly naked, Cassie had thought that Sadie was a similar shape to Sylvie.
Now she saw that she had smaller breasts, and was not as rounded in her hips
and bottom.

‘Everything off I’m afraid Sadie.’

‘Oh Jo, Do I have to? You know I don’t like it.’

‘I understand that,’ said the doctor pulling another pair of
latex gloves, ’but I think Cassandra should see you properly.’

Sadie removed her heavily
elasticated thong to reveal a penis and a rather shrunken scrotum.

Cassie realised what the strange symbol she had seen on
Sadie’s back meant. Caroline had discussed with her the phases that she would
go through in her transition. Some people, she had said, preferred to stay in a
half way state. Some people also liked people in that condition. Cassie would
have to decide for herself what she wanted to become.

‘I do hope he didn’t hurt you,’ said the doctor.

‘No he didn’t. But I worry about him Jo, and both you and he
have helped me so much.’

‘Well don’t worry for now. You
seem fine, and your last tests were fine as well. Let’s give your next
injection.’

Sadie lay on the couch as Cassie had done, and received her
injection. The doctor did not kiss her bottom though, as she done Cassie’s.

‘There we are. I think we are scheduled for a longer
appointment in two weeks?’

‘Yes Doctor, and I really need a long talk with Caroline. I
seem to have been away for ages.’

‘Well your home now.’

‘Yes. It’s strange. I didn’t use to think of it like that.’

‘Caroline will help. She always does! Now we can’t spend
much more time in here tonight. What is your next appearance as? Not that we
didn’t all appreciate you as a naked serving wench!’

‘I wish!’ Sadie shook her head, puzzling Cassie.  ‘It’s
this,’ Sadie held up a what looked like a small tube of soft black leather. She
pulled on a black thong, and wriggled into the leather tube, smiling at the
other two women. ‘I do need some help though. Could you zip me up?’

Cassie’s gloved fingers could not properly grip the small
zip.

 ‘Better let me do it,’ said Jo, tugging on the zip, and
fastening a clip at the top. ’It’s as well I know that you aren’t going to
break!’

Sadie, looked in the mirror, riffled her very long blonde
hair and tugged on her high stilettos. She looked so much better than in her
previous clothes. Now she looked amazingly sexy, with the leather dress just
covering her thong, and really showing off her strong smooth bare legs.

‘You two are making me feel overdressed,’ said the doctor,
but she turned to show her naked back, and turned at her head to grin at the
younger women.

‘Never Doctor dear,’ said Sadie, and gently kissed Jo at the
nape of her neck.

‘I’d better go and see if Sylvie needs any help. See you
soon.’ She blew a kiss and ran out of the room.

She was so much happier than
when she came in, thought Cassie.

*****************************

Back in the drawing room, Jo led Cassie by the hand to where
Caroline was sitting on one of the large sofas with Poppy sitting on the floor
beside her. Caroline was plaiting Poppy’s long hair into a complicated pony-tail
which hung down her back.

‘Poppy gets nervous,’ she explained, ‘and this does calm her
down a little.’

‘I like it when Sylvie brushes my hair,’ said Cassie,
somewhat surprised at herself.

Caroline looked Cassie up and down, and smiled her
compliments.

‘Hair can be such a nuisance though,’ said Jo, sitting
herself down rather close beside Caroline.

The blonde woman turned to her,
and gently stroked her velvet head. Jo pushed her head into Caroline’s caress
like a cat pushing into the hand that strokes it. The two women exchanged a
brief gentle kiss.

‘I like my hair though.’ This came from Janet, sitting with
her husband on the opposite sofa. ’And what a stunning girl you are Cassandra.
Come and sit with us, ah-ah better beside me not John. He might get ideas.’

Cassie giggled, and sank into the sofa alongside the older
woman.

‘I wonder whether I am overdressed,’ Janet said
mischievously. ’What do you think husband dear. I want to keep your eyes on me
for at least some of the time.’

‘You will do what you want to
do,’ said John teasingly. ‘As always.’

‘Would you like to come with me
Cassie, it’ll only take a moment. You can tell me what you think, and you look
like a fashion model!’

Cassie found her little clutch bag
and remembered she needed to touch up her lip gloss. She nodded to Janet. ‘OK,’
she said. She was remarkably un-bothered by all this attention, she realised
afterwards. She felt a warm feeling inside her, and wondered whether that was
the injection.

They went out into the hallway,
and up the stairs. She almost attempted to hold her skirt up as Janet did, but
realised she wasn’t wearing one! What was the best way to look elegant going
upstairs with no skirt she asked herself? She would have to practice. Then she
realised it would depend on who was looking. This thought must have encouraged
her to sway her bottom, because Janet looked at her. ‘You’re going to be quite
a little flirt I think!’

In Janet and John’s bedroom, (one of the guest suites on the
first floor at the front of the house), Janet slipped out of her formal dress,
and went to the wardrobe. She held out a teddy similar to (but larger) the one
Cassie was wearing.

‘What do you think,’ she said and without waiting for an
answer carried on, ‘but I think I’ll forego the stockings.’ (She was wearing
sheer black tights.)  ‘And John likes these.’ She found a new packet of fishnet
tights.

‘These show off make the best of my shape, which is to say
I’m a bit fat on my bottom and thighs.’

‘Plump not fat,’ said Cassie, who had been studying a lot on
the last few weeks.

‘Thank you darling.’ Janet smoothed the fishnet tights up
her legs, and then pulled off the slip she had been wearing and unfastened her
bra.

Cassie did not want to look directly at the other woman’s
breasts, but she started to experience feelings of envy. Perhaps this showed in
her face.

‘Oh don’t worry.’ Janet pulled up the teddy around her, and
eased her breasts into place. ‘I’m sure you will start to fill out soon.
There!’ She looked in the mirror at the two dark haired women.

‘You know, we could almost be sisters. I’ve an idea, do you
know where to find the highlight sprays they used on your hair?’

‘Yes,’ said Cassie.

‘We could look even more like each other.’

Cassie tripped along the hallway to her own room. Sylvie had
used spray cans of bronze and copper for her hair. Cassie took them back to
Janet’s room.
