PLEASE NOTE:
I am trying something new. To better define the difference between spoken dialog and a person's inner thoughts, those non-verbalized thoughts will be within brackets. As always, anything spoken aloud will be inside quotation marks.
EXAMPLE: Janice chuckled to herself, [This is too easy.] "Don't worry, Petra," she replied. "You'll be growing boobies soon enough." [I will see to it.]
Any feedback, positive or negative, on this method would be greatly appreciated. Use the comments section or write me directly. And, as always, I am open to all other thoughts and comments.
Thank you.

Natural Inclinations -- Part 7
By: Deana Bard
Chapter 25
Janice Kearny stood just inside the doorway of her backyard, taking in the glorious sights that nature had to offer. It had only been four days since she moved into her new home, and already she had made great strides in perfecting her latest project.
These projects, while not very common, are highly sought-after works of art. Masterpieces achieved with practiced skill, a malleable medium, and persuasiveness. Her latest inspiration came about after meeting her new next-door neighbors.
The movers had only just begun delivering Janice's belongings when Frank and Diane Baxter came over to welcome her to the neighborhood. During their brief conversation, Frank revealed that in the morning, they would be out of the country for a couple of months. However, their teenage son would be staying behind. If she needed anything, she shouldn't hesitate to ask him for help. "Actually," Diane piped up, "If you wouldn't mind, could we ask that you keep an eye on Peter for us? This will be the first time we're leaving him on his own."
After exchanging phone numbers, the couple left Janice to deal with getting moved in.
It wasn't until the following day when Janice finally met Peter. Their meeting, however, occurred under the most bizarre set of circumstances. Yet almost instantly, she sensed that Peter Baxter would be the perfect candidate for her tried and true creative skills.
Except for a little extra body fat here and there, for the most part, Peter was relatively slim. He also stood several inches shorter than an average eighteen-year-old male. However, it was the smooth complexion of his roundish, androgynous facial features that really captivated her imagination. All told, a simple glance could easily fool anyone into mistaking him for being a girl.
Not a girly girl, to be sure. But certainly not butch either. A mop of unkempt, shoulder-length hair was more like what a tomboy would wear.
As a result, between his shy and introverted nature and those looks, he had no real guy friends and even less luck with dating girls. (After plying him with a bit of wine, he dropped his guard and admitted as much.) This was the perfect opening Janice was looking for. She offered to help Peter's social skills, especially with the fairer sex, to which he was more than happy to accept such a kind gesture.
And so it began. When it came to following Janice's suggestions, Peter's enthusiasm and eagerness to improve his luck with girls never failed to overrule all logic and inherent male resistance. Little did he suspect what following the advice of his new neighbor would be leading him to.
First, she convinced Peter that the best way for a young adult male with a track record like his would require him to understand how a girl's mind works. It was critically important that he begin thinking like a girl. Accordingly, the quickest, most efficient method to accomplish that would be to spend some time pretending he was one. He needed to play the role of a girl.
Peter listened intently to Miss Janice's theory. According to her, the only way to fully get into role-playing a girl was for him to start doing all the things that girls do. That would mean putting aside his boyish ways and instead adopting more feminine mannerisms and behaviors.
Having no concrete plans for the remainder of the day, he figured that an afternoon spent pretending he was a girl wouldn't be so bad.
Except that, an afternoon of pretend lasted on into the evening hours.
Before sending him home that night, Janice had the teen agreeing to keep this game of role-playing going on throughout the night. By the following morning, Peter had become so caught up in these games, always with the promise of there being more to learn, that three days later, the role-playing has yet to end.
Over the years, one of the numerous unique talents Janice had mastered was this ability to plant subliminal ideas into the minds of weak-willed males. This has been especially true for guys with low self-esteem.
By periodically sowing new suggestions into Peter's brain, Janice had the naive teen doing his best to imitate a girl's mannerisms. Not only that but also trying to sound and look like one as well. With his mind and his will under her spell, the teen was expending a tremendous amount of time and effort modifying his physical appearance. And since all of this was just between these two "girls," Peter had also shed much of his modesty. To the point where, when asked, he readily changed into and out of girls' panties and bras or bikini bathing suits for sunbathing and using Janice's hot tub.
At that very moment, the teen was in her backyard working up a sweat, doing a series of specialized exercises. The goal: achieving a more girl-like figure. Striving for the shape and type of body she had persuaded him to aim for. Janice convinced the youth that he should concentrate on eliminating all extra body fat from his waist. She also planted the notion that he build and expand his bust-line. All to improve the way any female clothing would look and fit.
