You know what an x-frame is? Well it’s a frame shaped like an X. Duh. Mine is a nice one, padded with leather and with lots of metal rings and stuff...for tying me up when I’m on the frame. And it’s adjustable, I can put it upright, or parallel to the floor. That’s how I set it up this time, parallel to the floor, and with me lying on top. It’s hard to tie yourself hanging from the underside, otherwise I might have tried that... So, I was lying on my x-frame, on my back. My feet, legs, hips, neck. I dressed carefully for work every day: makeup, dress, panties, bra (lightly padded), skirt, stockings, and low heels. Although I was born male, I pass easily. I am 5'6” tall, 135 lbs, with a small frame and a small face so I was never masculine. I've been female all my life in my mind; with a little makeup and a little estrogen, no one is the wiser. I plan to keep my penis – it has been a source of joy for me and I'd hate to lose it. The office is in what used to be an elegant house on Main. “You are just like my son, Rajib. I wish had a son like you. A male member in the family has its own necessities”, she continued still keeping her hand on my upper thigh. I felt she stressed on ‘member’ while she spoke. I softly nodded in agreement. I was frozen inside and had no better reply. That night when I was fighting between sleep and decisions, I tried to re-access my natural reaction earlier. Why was I without a reply when she shared her problems with me? Did I want her to go on and. Forty it is. What price for the paintings?"She had feared this question. If she quoted the value of Darrin's paintings too low, he would lose interest. If her estimate was too high, he might back out of the deal, and she didn't have the slightest idea of their true value. "What's the average price for the paintings of the other two artists who will be included in the show?" Around $5,000." I know nothing about the other artists. How do Darrin's paintings compare?" To my mind they're better..
