We left town and in reflection I was surprised and a little bewildered how overwhelmed I was by my new clothes. I chalked it up to the novelty of it a...l; I was quite assured of my boyness to accede to any sissy inclinations.Aunt Em woke me around seven o'clock for a Easter breakfast and a shower and donning my Easter outfit.I had to first roll tights up my legs which was a new experience,especially since I was in my underwear with Aunt Em helping me out. Itfelt eerie, seeing my skinny legs. "Don't look so surprised, Little Brother. Did you really think I would just take your word for it, one shipment after the next, valued just as you claim? No, I took out a nice insurance policy. Quite a few within your crew are on my payroll, Khari, and the little messages they've passed me these last few weeks have been…instructive, to say the least."General Khari tensed up and looked around. He realized that many of his soldiers on deck had been called away elsewhere, replaced by Azik's finest. I like howshe's given you a new nickname but which one is it, Sue or butterfly?"I blushed more and took it from Denise to see what it said."Dear Sue just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed last night.You were wonderful, my new little butterfly and I can't wait to see youagain. I know we are right for each other and I hope you feel the same.I'll call you later to see about dinner. Love, Barb."As I sat there stunned at how Barb had now given my workmates far toomuch information, I could. "All column inches and Daddy's money, righ'?" The Estuary affectation briefly faded, giving away her roots. She'd been born just north of the capital, yet raised within its tractor beam long enough to know how to abuse the glottal stop for effect."No," I lied. "I was actually wondering why I'm in here."The low sunlight flickering through the buildings beyond the car caught her lip-gloss. I focused on the sparkling façade and the shimmering fullness beneath, considering their story. How many men.
