Revenge - Chapter 22



Revenge
By Karen Singer


Chapter 22

The sun was barely up Monday morning when Steve got out of bed.  He had woken up late yesterday afternoon, somehow missing the entire day again.  He had learned Saturday evening that he was supposed to go to Diane’s house on Sunday to clean for her.  Had he?  He honestly had no idea.  He had been afraid last night to call and find out.  If he had gone to Diane’s house yesterday to clean, he supposed he should be grateful that he had no memory of it at all.  He should be grateful…but he wasn’t.  He was losing a lot of days…or hours…or just plain time lately.  And he had no idea what he was doing when it happened.  It worried and scared him to no end.
And now he had to go to work today.  Last Friday Monica had demanded that he not only wear the panties, but pantyhose and a bra as well.  Did he still have to?  He had no idea.  After considering the issue, he finally decided to go with just the panties and pantyhose since they would be easier to hide.  The damn bra was a nightmare. 
He jumped into the shower, then got dressed, but after putting the panties and pantyhose on, his body reached for a bra and put that on as well, despite the fact that he didn’t want to wear the thing.  But he just couldn’t find a way to stop himself from doing it.  Once again the damn witch was making her demands known…whether he wanted to wear the stupid thing or not.  After the bra was in place, he finished getting dressed, once again wearing a sport jacket to hide any telltale bra lines.

--- §§§§§§§§§§ ---

Monica went out of her way to bury herself in work.  It was the best thing she could do to keep her mind off of Steve.  But the subject of Steve came crashing in on her once again the moment her desk phone rang late that morning and Carla told her that she had just done a panty check on Steve, and he was wearing frilly yellow panties, pantyhose, and a bra.  Monica thanked her for letting her know, then hung up. 
But now the subject of Steve was firmly locked into her mind again, and she didn’t have a clue what to do about it.  Whatever the Sorceress had done to him, as far as she could tell, there was no way she could get back at Steve at all for what he had done to her.  If there really was a Sorceress, because she still wasn’t convinced that it wasn’t just Steve himself sending the emails to her and pretending.  She still wouldn’t put that past him at all.
She had been rather shocked the day before when she went to Diane’s apartment and saw Steve in all that bondage stuff.  She was glad Diane had never shown any sign of those things while she had stayed there for a few nights.  Obviously, Diane was more into it than she thought.  It was so bizarre!  And yet even that wicked stuff hadn’t fazed Steve’s new personality at all.  From everything she had seen, and everything Diane had told her, Steve had continued to absolutely love it – all day!  Why?  How had the Sorceress done that?  It was…impossible!  Was Steve really into the kinky bondage stuff too…along with the crossdressing stuff?  She had no answers. 
Tonight, Steve was supposed to go to Carla’s condo and clean for her.  She knew that Carla was really looking forward to it.  Carla claimed that her place was a mess and she really needed some major help with it.  But Monica wondered if maybe there wasn’t more to it than that.  Evidently Carla had dated Steve many times in the past. 
So what should she do about Steve…and the Sorceress?  If there was a Sorceress.

--- §§§§§§§§§§ ---

At the end of the day, Steve turned off his computer and headed out the door with everyone else.  He was supposed to show up at Carla’s place in a little while, dressed appropriately…or inappropriately as far as he was concerned…and clean Carla’s place for her.  According to Carla when she had checked his damn underwear earlier that morning, she had told him she was expecting him to wear the gold party dress and heels he had worn to the club in Saint Thomas.  As much as Steve didn’t want to do it, he had no doubt that somehow, he would do it.  Besides, what choice did he have?  Show up dressed stupidly and clean her apartment, or let Monica send that written confession to the police so he could go to jail instead.  No choice!
And as much as Steve would rather not know about it again, like evidently had happened at Monica’s apartment and Diane’s place too, he was also afraid of not knowing, and hoped that for once he would remember it.  As far as he was concerned, it was a no-win situation.  Just like his entire life lately. 
On both Saturday and Sunday, he didn’t remember waking up and getting dressed, let alone going out to clean their apartments for them.  Would he lose all track of everything as soon as he got home?  He hoped not…while a small part of him hoped he would.
But when he got home, he found himself still fully in control.  He threw a microwave dinner into the oven…and waited to lose control of himself.  He ate his dinner, fully expecting to zone out into never-never land again.  But once his dinner was finished, he was still fully in control.  Breathing a big despondent sigh, he wandered into his bedroom to get dressed to go clean Carla’s apartment – in the stupid gold dress and heels.  How…utterly stupid!
Once dressed and his face full of makeup, having no pockets, he threw his wallet and keys into one of his purses, and faced his apartment door.  He had to go.  He had no choice.  Was it even dark yet?  No, not yet.  Not by a long shot.  Who would be out there to see him?  But what choice did he have?  It was either go out and face the world like he was, in a dress that would only attract too much attention, or go to jail.  Maybe jail would be the better option. 
He reached out his hand and opened his door.  Taking another big breath for courage, he headed for his car.  The moment he closed his door and started walking, he noticed the people down in the parking lot.  He didn’t want to see them, but his peripheral vision still found them.  He did his best to ignore them and hope they would ignore him as he descended the stairs, but the loud wolf-whistle somehow let him know it wasn’t to be.  He purposely looked only at the ground in front of him as he now half-ran towards his car.  He had seen women hurrying the way he was, because it was the only way to really run with high heels like he was wearing.  As he backed his car up and drove away, he could still see everyone looking at him.  Yeah, jail was looking like a much better option just then.  He started thinking seriously about moving to a new place.  Maybe the South Pole.
Once he got to Carla’s condo, he parked the car.  He was scared…and he was glad.  For once he was fully in charge of himself again.  He opened his car door and got out.  He looked around and didn’t see anyone else.  He looked up toward Carla’s window and saw her looking down at him.  And that’s the last memory he had.

--- §§§§§§§§§§ ---

Diane had been right.  There was no way around it.  As nice as the clothes he was wearing were, and she really loved that gold dress, he still looked like a guy in a dress.  She guessed that was the point.  Such a pity.  She had liked Steve.  More than just a bit.  They had dated many times, neither of them wanting anything permanent.  Now, she’d never date him again.  She briefly wondered who in their right mind ever would.  Not her problem.
She saw him look up at her, then smile and wave before he started walking toward the door that led to the interior of the building.  Almost sadly, Carla headed for her door to wait for him to get off the elevator. 
She was standing in the outer hallway when she saw the elevator door open, and that bright flashy gold dress got off.  But it was a beautiful dress that was being worn by a man.  A man she used to like.  Used to like!   Anyone who could do to Monica what he had done didn’t deserve her respect anymore.  Not to mention his seeming new-found love of dressing in women’s clothes.  She still didn’t understand that one.  Maybe there really was some kind of Sorceress behind it all.  She thought she had known Steve pretty well, but something like this was the last thing she would have ever expected.
“Hi Carla!” Steve’s excited voice called down the hallway as he got off the elevator.
Carla shook her head.  It was hard to believe that was Steve.  She still wasn’t sure she believed it herself.
Despite the way he was dressed, she put him straight to work.  And there was a lot of work to be done.  She didn’t like cleaning.  She didn’t like doing laundry.  She was a party girl.  She’d much rather be going out somewhere and having fun.  Consequently, her condo needed work.  A lot of work!  But just as she had seen at Monica’s place, and just as she had heard he had been at Diane’s apartment as well, she couldn’t help but notice how overly happy Steve seemed to be again as he started picking things up.  Way too happy! 
She chose a chair in her living room and sat to watch him.  It was a few minutes later that she realized he was humming to himself as he worked.  “What are you singing?” she asked.
Steve, or rather Karen, smiled broadly at her.  “It’s a real old show song called, “I enjoy being a girl.  Do you know it?”
“I’ve…heard if it,” Carla replied.  And then to her astonishment, Steve began humming the tune louder, and started dancing as he continued picking things up.  “Why are you so happy?” she demanded angrily.
Karen was totally surprised by the question.  “Who wouldn’t be?  I love being a girl, and I love getting to clean.  I love it, I love it, I love it…and I enjoy being a girl!” she sang out loud.  She continued humming and dancing as she kept busy cleaning Carla’s apartment.
Carla shook her head and headed for her kitchen where she wouldn’t have to look at him…until he started cleaning there.  As happy as he was, and as much as she loved that gold dress he was wearing, not to mention the shoes she’d kill for, she was too depressed seeing him that way.

--- §§§§§§§§§§ ---

It was two and a half hours later when Carla finally put a stop to it.  Her condo looked better than it had in years.  A good portion of her laundry was done, and her kitchen was cleaner than at any time since she had moved in.  She had gone in stages between watching Steve, and avoiding him.  She enjoyed seeing him in that dress…and she hated it.  But now that it was time to send him home, she couldn’t.  And she knew why.
It was something she had considered in the back of her mind all day long.  Something she knew she shouldn’t do, yet she couldn’t shake the thought of it.  She had no doubt she’d hate herself for doing it, but she knew for a fact she’d hate herself more if she didn’t.
Steve was just finishing up and was getting ready to grab his purse and leave.  He was still way too insanely happy…especially after spending the entire evening cleaning her place.  It just wasn’t natural!  He turned when she walked up behind him, that same stupid smile on his face and his eyes still too bright and happy. 
“Can I do something else for you?” Karen asked all too hopefully.
That same un-Steve-like tone of voice.  Carla didn’t understand it.  Once again she ignored it.  She didn’t say a word.  Instead, she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into her bedroom. 
Karen wasn’t sure what was going on.  She had already cleaned Carla’s bedroom – thoroughly.  She had made the bed with fresh sheets.  Dusted, vacuumed, and put most of Carla’s things away.  “Did I miss something?” she asked. 
Carla didn’t answer.  Instead, she suddenly turned and grabbed Steve’s face in her hands, and planted a strong kiss right on his lips.  Her hands moved to the back of his head, pulling his head into hers.  One hand moved down his neck, then around his back, hugging him to her as she continued to kiss him and force her body into his.  She had never made love to a woman before, and this was a close as she ever wanted to get.  But if she didn’t do this now, she’d never know what she wanted so desperately to know.  And Steve had always been a pretty good lover in the past. 
Karen was going crazy.  What was happening?  Carla was kissing her and doing everything possible to turn her on.  And worse, her body was responding.  It was Carla that was holding and kissing her, but she couldn’t get her mind off of Ellie.  Ellie and the great love they had made in Saint Thomas.  Ellie….  Thank God Susan had explained that there was nothing at all wrong with her liking women.  Thank you God…and thank you Susan!  She kissed Carla back, and let her hands explore Carla’s body.  But Karen knew that Carla had made love many times to Steve.  She would be expecting Steve to know what she liked.  Karen of course knew all that, but that wasn’t her biggest problem.  As Karen, she was a girl.  A woman.  And here was another woman trying to make love to her.  She wanted the love making, but not the physical part of being a woman doing it.  She hated the thought of it, but in order to truly enjoy it properly, she knew she was going to have to do something she’d rather not.
Steve woke up and realized he was kissing someone.  Carla!  He was standing in her bedroom and the two of them were locked in a loving embrace.  He didn’t remember anything since he got out of the car, but this was certainly a great way to wake up.  He moved his hand down Carla’s back.  Pressing in just the places he knew she liked.  And she in return was rubbing those places that she knew he liked.  Waking up and making love to Carla.  It just couldn’t get any better than that.
He felt Carla’s hand pulling down the zipper on the back of his dress.  The odd feeling somehow hit something deep inside of him, and made his sexual excitement rage!  His own hands starting to pull up Carla’s top.  He couldn’t wait to get her naked.  He couldn’t wait to get himself naked!
Carla pulled Steve’s dress off his shoulders and let it fall to the ground.  She pulled away from him and pulled her top off that Steve had mostly already removed.  Steve started massaging her breasts and it felt wonderful.  She backed further away and quickly stripped naked.  Steve was trying to pull his shoes off without unfastening them.  “Leave them,” she told him.  “Just pull your pantyhose and panties down.  Leave the bra too.” 
She was naked, he wasn’t, but she didn’t care.  She was in a hurry and pulled him onto the freshly made bed with her, then helped push his hose and panties down herself.  His penis was already full and hard.  The blankets underneath them had been freshly and carefully put in place.  Carla ignored all of it and concentrated solely on Steve, and making love.
Karen moved to the back of Steve’s mind and let him take charge.  Just as she had done in Saint Thomas, she thrilled to the love making between Steve’s body and Carla’s.  And just as she had done in Saint Thomas, she herself did her best to try to imagine everything that Carla would be feeling, because as a woman herself, Karen knew that those were the feelings she wanted to feel.  And she craved them!
It was different.  For as many times as Carla had been in bed with Steve, this time it was different.  He was different.  And it wasn’t the women’s underwear or the shoes he still had on.  It was the things he was doing.  Yes, it was definitely Steve’s body.  She knew that body possibly better than she knew herself.  But this time, Steve was different.  His touch was different.  The way he was going about things was different.  He wasn’t being as quick and needy as he had always been before.  It was almost more like he could sense her needs and the things she wanted to feel.  And it was…wonderful!
Steve was making love to Carla again.  But this time it was different.  This time he continually got these little feelings floating into his brain.  Do this.  Don’t do that.  Go slower.  Prolong that.  Rub here.  Kiss her there.  So many different things that he wouldn’t normally do.  Fortunately, Carla seemed to be loving it, so he abandoned himself to those little suggested feelings, and let himself make love to her that way.  It was certainly different.  Almost more like what had happened with Ellie in Saint Thomas.  It was different, and he was loving it!
It was over an hour later when the two of them finally rolled off of Carla’s bed.  After that marathon session, the bed was a mess.  Carla figured she’d have to have the bedspread cleaned.  Maybe the blankets that were under it too.  And for that matter, she was a mess herself.  Naked, she sat back down and watched as Steve put his dress on.  His makeup was a total loss, but she didn’t mention it. 
When he was ready, she kissed him briefly one more time, then she whispered in his ear.  “We’ll never do this again.  Ever!  Understand?”
Steve felt crushed.  He had thought their lovemaking had been great.  His reply was only a small sad nod.
Carla stayed in her room while he went out the door to go home.  She had wanted to make love to him again to see if it really was Steve they had been dealing with.  But now she had more questions than answers. 
She had without a doubt made love to Steve.  Only Steve would know to do some of the things that he had done.  Only Steve had made love to her enough times to know all those things she enjoyed so much.  So it was undoubtedly Steve she had made love to.
But there was another thing too.  It was without a doubt one of the best love making sessions she had ever engaged in.  It had been fantastic!  And the reason it had been so good, was because even though Steve had known to do all those things that she loved, he had done other things too that he had never done before.  He had…behaved differently, and done things that she never thought any man would be so careful to do. 
She had no answer to her original question.  Yes, it had been Steve making love to her.  But at the same time, without a doubt, it wasn’t Steve at all. 
And the saddest part was, she knew she’d never get in bed with him again – no matter what!  Not anymore.  Not since she now knew how cruel he could be.  Not after what he had done to Monica.  And especially not if he really did love waltzing around in women’s clothes.  Never again.  And she felt the loss…tragically.
