Author's Note: It has been far too long since I updated this story. I'm sorry. I have so much on my plate these days when it comes to writing. Special thanks to those people who called me out in the comments and asked for me to get back to writing this. It means a lot to me that you enjoy these stories enough to want to read more. I'm not perfect, but I shall do my best to satisfy you. When we last left off, Grace had just made the choice to accept the "gift" that Thomas had previously given to Helen. While there was some real questions as to what else the changes had done to Helen, Grace couldn't resist the temptation of a new life. After Helen and Thomas had some fun, Grace took his gift into her, and underwent her own transformation. The results surprised Helen and Thomas.
*****
My body was something out of one of those dirty videos my husband used to keep in his closet. Not athletic in a practical way, but very pleasing to the eyes and hands. In my actual youth I'd often been so thin that people used to worry. I had to gain weight before I was told that I'd be healthy enough to get pregnant. The person in the mirror was different and yet it was still me. My eyes and my hands could barely believe it.
My blonde hair was back and thicker than I ever remembered it being. My skin was clear and pale in a beautiful but oddly intense way. I could feel that body in the mirror: the heat and vitality of it. I could move it. I cupped my now generous breasts and felt their weight. When I squished them together the effect looked ridiculous and somehow sexy. I imagined having Thomas' face or even his cock between them, and I felt something that I hadn't felt for a long time: horny. I felt the wetness growing in my pussy. It was swollen like I had never remembered it being. It was also covered with thick, dark blonde hair that could probably do with some shaving.
It was so strange being so turned on though. My mind was desperate to remember what it was that I should do. There was no husband to be the lead in this anymore. My body was something almost alien to me: a curvy marionette whose every nerve ending was my own.
I decided to be gentle. With my fingertip I traced around my right nipple and lightly pinched it. I had to pull my hand awayβmy nipples were so sensitive. My face and hair were mostly the same from what I recalled. I had some pictures in my room that I compared myself to. A different girl, I thought, and yet the same. Hell, I was a "girl" and not an old woman. Grace, I thought, you're not even old enough to buy a drink anymore.
Helen and Thomas had been right to warn me. This was an all too real and drastic change. I didn't know if I regretted doing it, and found that the situation was difficult to process. I couldn't imagine presenting myself to my children and grandchildren. What would they think? The more I thought about, it became harder to grasp and believe that I had children and grandchildren. Their faces were a little blurrier in my memory. That didn't make sense. I should have been able to remember even better with my younger brain.
A pair of soft and dainty hands took hold of my breasts from behind me, and caressed them.
"Not bad is it?" asked Helen.
"No. It's not. But very different."
She made light circles around my nipples with her thumbs. My areolas were reddening and the nipples hardening. I felt her hot breath on my ear and neck as she spoke to me in a whisper.
"Any regrets?"
"I'm not sure. It's like my mind is different. I know that I should have regrets because I had a good life and that's how it's supposed to be, but..."
"You can tell me, honey. Helen's here. I'll take care of you."
"...I look at myself. I feel myself. I feel you touching me, and I don't want it to stop. Is this what you were trying to tell me?"
I winced on the verge of tears. Helen kissed my neck and continued to touch me. "Don't worry. No matter what you'll have me. A whole new life together, Grace."
"So," she said, "Tell me you like it. Tell me that is the greatest thing ever."
"It might be."
I leaned back into her, and her new strength held me. I felt her breasts touching my back, but there was a sheer piece of cloth between us. At some point while I was ogling myself in the mirror, Helen had put on a slip.
"So do we fall into a reverie of constant pleasure or something?"
Helen giggled. "I thought you were having trouble thinking."
"No, I said it was different. It's like just getting off a rollercoaster or waking up. I still am muddled, but I can see what's going on."
Helen kissed the side of my cheek again. "You were sharp in your old life and you still are. I love that about you."
"Where did Thomas go?" My mind was still filled with all manner of dirty thoughts about him.
"I told him to give us some space. That it would take you a while to get used to this, and there still is more that you need to know and do. That's why I put something on. I only walked him to the door, but I didn't want some neighbor kid to see me naked."
I looked into her dark eyes maybe like a child would its mother. "What's 'Phase Two'?"
She looked away from like she'd been hurt, but I still watched her reaction in the mirror. Her mouth made little movements like she tried and failed to begin in different ways, but could not find the words that would suit it.
I kissed her then, and after a moment she returned it. "I trust you," I said. "You said that you'll take care of me, so you will."
She hugged me tighter to her. "I love you, Grace. Since we first met I felt drawn to you. It's changed a little bit, and we're closer now. But I'm still Helen."
Those unusual tears returned to her eyes. They were the lightest of red. I wondered if my own would be like that soon.
Helen turned me around and embraced me from the front. Not a moment later there was a kiss. Kissing another woman was such an unusual thing for me. I remembered what I had done with Helen on the couch, though that seemed so much more like a dream now. She held me in her strong arms, and I felt safe.
I was supposed to be like her, but I didn't feel strong. I put my hands on her sides, and slowly slid them down to her shapely ass, which I felt at gently, like touching a ripe fruit.
I kissed back. It was different that being with a man, she was softer, curvy, and there was a gentleness that was foreign to me. I had come of age in an era where your husband was supposed to be an Alpha Male all the time. Our country could have literally conquered the world, but decided to become suburban.
"It's different," she said, knowing me so well. "Maybe this is too close. We'll always be friends, Grace."
"I want you this way. I'm just...I'm dumb about this kind of thing."
