Nexifem Inc. - Chapter 20

Chapter 20

A tart, thought Mrs Parsters, without malice. There was no moral judgment involved; a fact was a fact.

-“By The Sea”, by Mavis Gallant

Jostled and rocked in the dark confines of Ms. Belmont’s large stylish purse - what some women preferred to call a handbag - Chad drifted between fatigued dozing and discomfort. The sound of his boss’ high heeled shoes on tile and concrete was a persistent audible backdrop. Chad had drifted off early on, but awoke to women’s voices. He heard Vicki’s laugh at one point. Ms. Belmont had gone back to her office to wrap up some final details before she left the building.

Chad considered crying out for help, but the idea of Vicki and his other “co-workers” seeing him like this, naked and jammed into Ms. Belmont’s purse, was the stuff of bad dreams. Chad knew better than to think any of the women on the fourth floor would step in to help him. It was just as likely they would take photos and laugh, given how much the world had changed. Worse, Ms. Belmont would probably get very angry. Chad tried to turn over and adjust himself, but the cap of a loose ballpoint pen kept jamming into his ribs like some plastic tree branch.

“Well, I’m off for the day,” Ms. Belmont said, somewhere above in the outside world. She sounded relaxed and pleasant.

“Have a nice evening Stacy!” A woman replied. Chad wasn’t sure who the voice belonged to.

“Did you send Chad home already?” Vicki’s voice was more familiar.

“Oh, yes. He won’t be in any longer tonight,” Ms. Belmont replied.

“You let him off easy today,” Vicki said. The women laughed, but Ms. Belmont laughed the hardest.

“Oh, I wouldn’t say that!”

“Oh? I’ve really enjoyed his new role.” Vicki said. “I know we’re not supposed to talk about how small he is outside the building, but I hope that Nexifem is more open about the R&D work being done here soon. I think a lot of our customers will be very interested in what we’re working on.”

“I completely agree,” Ms. Belmont replied. “I don’t think you’ll have to wait too long. In fact, you might be surprised by what Nexifem has in development. Chad has proven to be a good little office boy in some ways. If I could have done that to all the men I fired here in the past, maybe they would have been worth keeping around.”

More laughter came from outside the bag. Chad gritted his teeth and held back a strong desire to cry out in frustration and dismay. Ms. Belmont was openly joking about firing male employees. There was no one left to stand up to her. The new office culture was all there was now.

“I think there will be a role for such men as things improve,” Vicki said. “They are more than adequately sized to do housework, janitor jobs, a lot of landscaping, and more. It just might require two men to do some of the jobs that one could do before. But there is a surplus of undereducated men anyway, if you ask me.”

“For sure,” Ms. Belmont replied. “Well, I have to run. You might want to take some of your thoughts up to Christine or to product development. I didn’t realize you had been thinking this much about it.”

“Well I had a long talk with Tiffany and Nicole today. It was really interesting to hear about what HR has been doing with the hiring and wage policy for the company,” Vicki remarked. “I just really prefer things now that the whole floor is women. It’s must less annoying. I don’t hate men. I just think they belong in different places in society.”

“I understand completely,” Ms. Belmont replied. She had begun walking again.

“Have a nice night!”

Chad felt the air change as the sound of Ms. Belmont’s heels resonated more loudly, echoing off of what sounded like hard tiles. The noise of a toilet flushing confirmed his suspicions. Ms. Belmont had decided to use the washroom before leaving the building. Chad felt the bag drop and grunted as it landed on the floor, jostling him further amongst the contents. The click of his boss’ heels sounded very close to his head, beside her purse.

Chad heard the unmistakable sound of Ms. Belmont relieving herself of the caffeinated beverages and water bottles he’d brought her throughout the afternoon. The tinkle of urine echoed around him while the sound of another woman’s steps faded away in the background.

“Well, now we’re alone again,” Ms. Belmont said. “You were wise to keep quiet when I was talking to your former colleagues. You’d better stay quiet once I leave the building, because you won’t get any help from random strangers either. Not on my watch. You’ll stay quiet in my bag until I let you out again.”

Chad heard Ms. Belmont wipe herself and flush the toilet. The sound of elastic snapping into place echoed against the tiles and suddenly the bag was lifted up off the floor. Ms Belmont shook the bag slightly. “Well? Did you hear what I said?” she asked.

“Yes, Ms. Belmont,” Chad said. “Please, it’s very cramped in here.”

“What, you want Christine to make you smaller so you fit better?” Ms. Belmont said. She chuckled as she washed her hands.

“N…no!” Chad cried out. “I just meant-”

“Shh!” Ms. Belmont hissed.

Chad fell silent as he detected the sound of another woman’s footsteps.

His boss chatted with the woman and several other co-workers as she made her way to the elevator and through the parking garage. Chad knew Ms. Belmont made enough money to own her own personal vehicle, which was rare these days. He could smell the “new car” scent as her bag was dropped into the footwell of the car’s passenger seat. Electronic chimes sounded as Ms. Belmont entered directions into the car’s computer by hand.

Chad could feel the shifting momentum as the car began to move, but he was still ensconced in near total darkness. Small slivers of light came through the tongs of the bag’s zipper, but they were far from enough to see much of anything. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying not to think about the fact that he fit inside Ms. Belmont’s handbag, that she could now simply pick him up off the floor like some lapdog or large doll.

“Oh you should see this, Chadwick,” Ms. Belmont remarked. “We just went past a couple walking down the sidewalk. Her boyfriend barely came up to her shoulder and they were holding hands. I’ve been seeing that a lot more lately. A few years ago, they would have been a shocking sight, or even mocked. Now, it’s totally normal. Isn’t it interesting how quickly our society can adapt to what once seemed like a crazy scenario? We can just create a new normal - a new order.”

“You helped create this new vulni-chic world,” Ms. Belmont continued, as the car moved along, turning on occasion, guided by its advanced computer system. “I helped too. Before you know it, there will be no men left who can push a woman around with their size. Those days are basically over. Now it’s guys who have to think twice when they go out for walks at night. Not to mention the fact that many of you can’t seem to make enough money to get by very well. That started way before the vulni-chic fad. I think more of your peers will start to think about the Affirmative Guardianship Status program soon.”

Chad had no choice but to listen to Ms. Belmont’s musing on the changes she saw outside the window as they drove along. He heard her remark on advertising signs, couples, female executives, homeless men on a street corner, a small male landscaping crew, and more. Finally, the car rolled to a stop.

“Here we are, your special lady’s home,” Ms. Belmont remarked. “Pretty nice townhouse actually. My house is better though. It’s way bigger.”

The doors clicked and slid open. Chad heard Ms. Belmont walk around the vehicle and the bag jerked as she lifted it up. He was jostled to the side and a flat smooth make-up compact the size of a trash-can lid slid partly across his back.

“Hello!”

Chad’s blood froze as he heard the unmistakable voice of Selina from outside the bag.

“May I help you?” Ms. Belmont replied.

“Yes, you work at Nexifem Inc. right?” Selina asked.

A moment of silence passed.

“Perhaps,” Ms. Belmont answered. “Are you some sort of stalker? I can’t give you a job young lady. I know many want to work for us these days. You should submit your resume to HR if you are ambitious and have something to offer.”

“What? No,” Selina answered. Chad could tell she had not expected the curt response. “I’m just looking for Chad.”

“Oh is that right?” Chad could hear the sound of amusement in Ms. Belmont’s voice and he felt a growing dread.

“Yes, I’m the other woman on his AGS application,” Selina said.

“Oh you’re Selina Perez!” Ms. Belmont exclaimed. “I was wondering who you were.”

“Yes, that’s me,” Selina said. “You’re not his so-called ‘girlfriend’, so I assumed you had to be a co-worker to be coming here in a car that nice. Plus, you’re one of the few women I’ve ever met who is taller than me!”

Chad swallowed in terror. Ms. Belmont had grown taller than Selina? It explained a lot. He heard his boss laughing in satisfaction.

“Well, I wasn’t always this tall,” she said. “Actually you might have been taller than me this morning and definitely were at the beginning of the week. You’ll notice all the runs I have in my nylons and this skirt and blouse are far too tight. I need to get home to change soon.”

“Oh wow, you must have access to so much Voluptupram,” Selina remarked, her voice breathy with excitement.

“I get an exclusive supply, along with a number of other executives and employees at Nexifem, yes.”

“That’s kind of what I wanted to talk about,” Selina said. “I had Chad promise me that he’d hook me up with more Voluptupram after his loser co-worker ran away and bailed on me.”

“Wait!” Ms. Belmont said. “Are you the woman that destroyed Hank Powell after I fired the little loser? I heard he’s in Antarctica now or something.”

“That’s little jerk was such a wimp,” Selina said. “He claimed he didn’t want to be with me, but then he would get all hard in his pants for me. Seriously, we had sex a bunch of times! Then he ran away. I guess I’m just too much woman for some men.”

Both women burst into laughter and Chad tried to sit up in Ms. Belmont’s bag. He felt trapped and frustrated to hear them laughing at how they destroyed his work-mate’s life.

“He really was a jerk,” Ms. Belmont said. “He used to back-talk me and tried to get me to hire more men to the office when I first got promoted. Like, seriously? You want to roll back the clock to the twentieth century or something? Give me a break. I kept him on staff because he was fairly easy to manipulate, but eventually I just got tired of him and demoted him to janitorial.”

“That totally makes sense, if you ask me,” Selina said. “I met him the same night as I met Chad. I mean, at least I got access to Voluptupram, but I never thought he’d wimp out and move to the frozen ass of the world just to avoid being with a strong woman.”

“It’s not much of an escape either, considering how fast vulni-chic trends are spreading to other countries,” Ms. Belmont said. “But it sounds like what you really wanted was to get access to Chadwick.”

“Hmm…you got me,” Selina admitted. “I saw him at a pub and he was so fucking small. It was like something from my secret teenage fantasies. But then he had already met this Kelly chick, and he kept avoiding me. So hey, I decided to go for the next best thing, his slightly less shrimpy loser friend.”

“But you’ve been in contact with Chad since Hank ran off?”

“Oh yes, we did have a little…date of sorts,” Selina said. Chad could hear the smirk in her voice.

“Well, I’m afraid it seems unlikely you will get AGS title for Chad,” Ms. Belmont said. “I can’t imagine you have the resources to go up against Nexifem, myself, or even his lady friend. She has a bit of coin, but also went in person with him to the government registry office. That carries a lot of weight in this situation.”

“It’s not fucking fair,” Selina said, her accent thickening for a moment. “I’ve had a fantasy about a shrinking little boytoy since junior high. Then, when it actually comes true, it gets taken away.”

“Aren’t most men like of toy sized to you these days?” Ms. Belmont answered. “You must have been tall even before Voluptupram.”

“Yeah, I was,” Selina admitted. “But he lined up so nice on my body. I’ve never seen a guy as small as him.”

“Oh, I think you’ll be seeing more small men in the future,” Ms. Belmont said.

“Really?” Selina sounded excited by the idea. “Well, anyway…I wanted to talk to you because I knew I probably wasn’t going to get AGS over Chad, but I thought maybe I could pool my bid with you, or work out some sort of exchange.”

A moment passed and Chad heard the chirp of some birds in the distance. He was so close to the safety of Kelly’s house and yet remained trapped here, listening to Ms. Belmont and Selina discuss him like he was some sort of pet or piece of property.

“I’m listening,” Ms. Belmont said.

“Well maybe the two of us together could present a better bid,” Selina said. “Or, I’ll back off if you can hook me and my chicas up with some more Voluptupram.”

“Well maybe we should ask Chad what he thinks,” Ms. Belmont said, chuckling. “His girlfriend just sent me a text. She won’t be home for a bit anyway. Do you want to see Chad? He’s gotten smaller since you last saw him.”

“What? He’s here? Is he in your car?”

“Not exactly,” Ms. Belmont said. Suddenly the bag dropped to the ground with the thud, landing on the concrete sidewalk. Chad grunted and then held his hands over his face as Ms. Belmont yanked the zipper open. Bright light flooded into the small space.

“Stand up up Chadwick!” Ms. Belmont said. She stood back to her full height over the bag at her feet.

Chad looked up from his position, curled up in his boss’ handbag. Ms. Belmont towered over him and Chad could see up her skirt until she stepped back, revealing the striking figure of Selina. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans that stretched over her curves, along with a form-fitting bright top.

Chad stood up, stretching his body out in the open air, glad to be free of the confining space, but horrified to discover the knees of both high-heeled women were just above the level of his head.

As he stood, he heard Selina gasp in amazement. “No fucking way,” Selina whispered.

“Pretty awesome, isn’t it?” Ms. Belmont said.

“He’s like some sort of…”

“Doll? Pet? Toy?” Ms. Belmont offered. “Yeah. We’ll see if his girlfriend still thinks he’s boyfriend material when she sees him like this.”

Selina bent over at the waist, her black hair framing her attractive features and blocking out the sunshine. Chad began to tremble as she peered down at him. “Hello boy,” she said.

“Hello Selina,” Chad said, trying to control his fear.

“No.” Selina said. “Call me Mistress Selina. You’re too small to use my name like that now.”

“But…”

Selina kicked the side of Ms. Belmont’s bag lightly, causing it to shift and sending Chad to his knees.

“Do as she says!” Ms. Belmont snapped.

“Yes Mistress Selina,” Chad said. He rose back to his feet.

Selina smiled in satisfaction and moaned.

“Come on, let’s sit in my car and talk about this. I can’t risk being seen yet. He’s still kind of a company secret,” Ms. Belmont said.

“Okay,” Selina replied.

“Kneel, Chadwick,” Ms. Belmont said, reaching down for the handles of her handbag.

Chad knelt as his boss grabbed the bag and yanked it upward, not waiting to see if he’d obey. His head was all the stuck out between the open zipper of the bag as she swung it and stepped back into her car. The car’s four seats had shifted and reconfigured for a group-transport mode, facing and open space in the middle. Ms. Belmont tossed her bag into the space and closed the door behind her. The windows tinted slightly as she tapped at a control panel. The air conditioning whirred to life, offering sweet filtered cool air.

“There we are,” Ms. Belmont said. She crossed her legs and Chad watched another run break open up her nylons. “Now Chad, I thought we might ask you what you think about Selina’s offer here. Do you think she should join her offer with mine and we could own you? You realize you might end up with your guardian girlfriend like some boy with his mommy? Or you might end up becoming permanent company property and live in a laboratory for the rest of your life.”

Chad’s eyes widened at the thought of becoming a lab rat at Nexifem. He hadn’t even considered that possibility.

Ms. Belmont laughed softly at Chad’s reaction. Selina had taken a seat behind him and was slouched in the soft chair, her thick thighs spread wide in a confident pose. She was chewing gum, causing her large purple hoop earrings to sway against her thick hair. Chad could feel her dark eyes scrutinizing his small body. He tried to ignore it.

“Well, I…”

“Or!” Ms. Belmont interrupted him, clearly not too concerned with his opinions in reality. “Do you think I should buy Selina out and just give her a ton of Voluptupram so she and her friends can get even taller?”

Selina laughed behind Chad. “You still owe me, little pussyboy!”

Ms. Belmont grinned. “He is a pussyboy, isn’t he?”

“Yeah, you have no idea,” Selina said.

“Oh, I think I have a fairly good idea,” Ms. Belmont said. She stared at Chad intensely.

Selina grew quiet and a moment passed as Chad struggled to swallow down his pride and ignore the fear blooming in his chest. “Oh damn,” Selina said from behind Chad. “You’re really making me want to win that AGS.”

“Well, you should think about it,” Ms. Belmont said. “I mean, I could get you more Voluptupram as production levels are improved. We are trying out new techniques all the time. But I can understand how you’d want to get some time with him. Do you want to try holding him? It’s quite the experience.”

“Wait, Ms. Belmont,” Chad protested. “I thought you wanted to know what I—ahh!”

Chad let out a scream as Selina’s fingers curled around his waist from behind. She adjusted her grip on his torso and picked him off the floor of the car. Chad’s small feet kicked the air as Selina brought him closer to her face. Chad could smell that Selina had recently eaten some sort of lunch. It wasn’t an unpleasant aroma, but her breath carried the warm scents of spices and gum. Her dark purple nails bit into his naked skin as she held him close and he could feel her warm breath on his waist.

“Shut the fuck up,” Selina said. Her voice resonated in Chad’s small ears. Her full lips blew out a pink bubble of gum and she snapped it against her wet tongue. The sound was loud and Chad winced in pain. The scent of cinnamon mixed with the spices of whatever Selina had eaten earlier in the day.

“Did you really think she actually wanted to know what you thought?” Selina asked. “You’re a fucking doll now. Dolls don’t get opinions.”

Chad tried to look away from Selina’s sneering expression, but she turned him in her fist so that he was forced to meet her gaze. Her lip had pulled back from her teeth and Chad felt a nervousness at the sheer size of Selina’s mouth in relation to his head. He watched as she shoved her gum back into position with her tongue and slowly blew a bubble out toward him. The pink orb swelled and grew in size slowly as Selina’s eyes focused on the small man in her grip. The sticky wet gum came closer and closer to Chad, and he put out his hands to try and block it. His small palms indented the swelling bubble, which stuck to his palms, until it popped with a deflated moist noise.

Pieces of bubblegum and saliva stuck to Chad’s hands, arms, and chest. Selina flicked her tongue and sucked the rest of the gum back in her mouth. Chad tried to pull the sticky pieces of gum from between his fingers and Selina laughed bitchily as she watched. She shook her fist causing Chad to flop about in her grip, disorienting him for a moment.

“You’re so small now,” Selina exclaimed. “You’re not vulni anymore. You’re something else…like…not even a man.”

Chad opened his mouth to speak, but Selina cut him off, talking over his tiny voice.

“This is hilarious!” She continued. “Remember how Hank tried to stand up to me at the pub? Imagine if he could see you now, small enough to pick up with one hand.”

Selina lifted Chad closer and stared at his penis with two big dark eyes. “Small enough to totally control.”

Chad kicked the air as his cock began to swell. He couldn’t help it. Something about the changes Nexifem had made to his body had altered his relationship with the world, especially to strong women. His hips bucked the air and he shook his head.

“Oh my gawd, he’s getting hard,” Selina said.

“Oh is he?” Ms. Belmont exclaimed. “Well, well. This is very interesting.”

“What a little pervert!” Selina said. “And he says he prefers that Kelly chick. He doesn’t deserve her protection.”

“It’s an improvement in every way though,” Ms. Belmont said. “He can’t hide his feelings now.”

Selina pushed her gum up between her gums and her upper lip with her tongue. She pulled Chad closer to her face and her tongue lolled out. She slowly drew her warm tongue up over Chad’s thighs and pelvis. It felt huge and wet as it pressed into his body. Selina tasted Chad’s body, detecting the residue of sex and sweat on him, until her tongue slid slowly over his member and sack. Chad squirmed and cried out softly, the feelings of sensual pleasure mixed with humiliation.

“Oh my!” Ms. Belmont exclaimed. “Look at him squirm.”

Selina laughed in her throat as she pressed her lips against Chad’s pelvis, sucking on his cock. Chad struggled and squirmed in her grip as she sucked him like a lollipop, making slurping sounds as her hot saliva ran down his legs. Her tongue flicked between Chad’s legs.

Chad moaned and his back arched in Selina’s firmly gripping hand. He shuddered as he began to orgasm. He couldn’t help himself. Her tongue was giving him unimaginably pleasurably sensations, causing electric shivers to shoot up from his penis through his pelvis and spine. His small member spurted cum into Selina’s hungry mouth, sucked down instantly as she continued to lick and taste his body. Chad wasn’t sure she had even noticed his orgasm.

Chad felt the lingering fading sensation of his climax shiver down his spine and intensify. For a moment he thought he was having a second orgasm, but then the feeling shifted into a pins and needles that washed over him from head to toes. Selina’s fingers seemed to be shifting on his waist, as though she was adjusting her grip, until Chad realized that her hand was actually getting bigger in relation to his body. Selina’s lips drew back from his body and she tilted her head with a curious expression.

“Is he getting smaller?” she asked.

Chad screamed, but the sound came out like a squeak. He writhed in Selina’s hand, kicking the air and trying to pry her fingers loose, even as the tips of her manicured nails came closer and closer to being able to touch around his waist.

“Mmm….I hope so,” Ms. Belmont said.

“He’s actually shrinking!” Selina gasped. “Right in my hand.”

“Yessss…” Ms. Belmont hissed. “He’ll fit even better now.”

Chad shook his head, trying to get free of Selina’s grip. But she was barely even trying and still easily held him. Ms. Belmont’s words filled Chad with fear. Selina lifted Chad to her mouth and slowly licked the side of his head, a string of saliva connecting her tongue to his hair for a moment.

“Oh fuck, that Kelly chick is almost back,” Ms. Belmont said. “She just sent me a text.”

Selina’s expression shifted to disappointment and she sighed. “But I was just getting started!”

“I know, honey,” Ms. Belmont said. “I’m glad you got to hold him for a bit. Could you put him back in the bag?”

Selina growled at Chad and shook him in her hand a little, before bending over and shoving him inside Ms. Belmont’s handbag. Chad fit in a bit easier than before and he had time to look up just as his boss yanked the zipper shut, dealing him into darkness.

“Stay in here Selina,” Ms. Belmont said. “We should talk later.”

Chad heard the car door slide open and Ms. Belmont’s shoes on the pavement.

“Hello Kelly!” Ms. Belmont said, her voice cheerful and friendly. She was acting as if it was just another ordinary day.

“Hi Stacy!” Kelly said. “I got your email. Thanks for giving Chad a lift home. from work. It saves me a lot of time. I was able to get in a lot more time on the elliptical today.”

“You’re very welcome,” Ms. Belmont replied. “But I do want to warn you….Chad got a bit smaller today. We needed to perfect a new product we have in R&D, and it worked a bit too well I guess.”

“Oh, where is he?”

Chad listened and heard no sound, but the bag lifted slightly.

“Oh! Oh my gawd, he’s…he’s in your bag?” Kelly gasped. “He must be so little now.”

“Oh yes, he is quite small now,” Ms. Belmont said.

“My sweet boy,” Kelly whispered. “Can you let him out?”

The zipper opened slowly and Chad felt Ms. Belmont lower the bag to the ground. Chad sat up immediately and scrambled to escape the bag, climbing over the teeth of the open zipper and onto the pavement. He didn’t care that he was naked and covered in pieces of bubble gum, saliva, and pussy-juice. He just wanted to get away from Ms. Belmont and Mistress Selina.

Chad stood up and gawked upward at his girlfriend. Kelly’s tight yoga pants clung to her curves. She was fresh from one of her exhaustive workouts. He didn’t even reach her knees. Each of Kelly’s calves were thicker than his body now. He was probably at least half the height he was when she’d last seen him. Kelly looked down at Chad over her big breasts, which were clad in tight activewear material. Her eyes were wide in shock. “Oh Chad, look at you!” Kelly whispered.

Chad felt tears welling up in his eyes as he ran forward and wrapped his arms around Kelly’s leg. Her calf muscle bulged under the smooth yoga-pant fabric as she flexed it in response.

“Well, I have to be off!” Ms. Belmont said. “We need to discuss the AGS situation soon. I have learned more about the other offers. As you can see, things have changed for Chad. Please keep him inside and out of sight until a Nexifem representative informs you otherwise.”

Kelly looked away from her tiny boyfriend for a split second and nodded. “Oh…okay,” she said. “Yes, I do hope to get that settled soon. Thank you for bringing Chadwick home from work.”

Ms. Belmont simply waved, before closing the car door. Her vehicle was off within seconds and Chad felt incredible relief as his boss and Selina were carried away. He pressed the side of his cheek against the smooth fabric of Kelly’s workout tights and tilted his head back, looking up at his towering girlfriend.

Kelly leaned over and looked down at Chad, with wide eyes. She held one hand over her mouth as she stared down at the tiny man clinging to her leg. “You shrank again,” Kelly said softly. “You’re not even up to my knee. You were at least up to my butt last night, well almost.”

Chad relaxed his arms and stepped back slightly, between Kelly’s running shoes. If he stood on his toes and hopped, he might have been able to reach her mid-thigh. Kelly was a giantess, towering over him. He came up higher on her than Ms. Belmont. He really wasn’t much shorter than her knees, but he also noted that her crotch was well out of his reach.

“Ms. Belmont and Ms. Everhart made me drink more stuff like they put in the gel-packs I told you about,” Chad said. His voice was small, and Kelly squatted down to hear him better. He almost came up to Kelly’s chin now that she was squatting down, her legs on either side, like curvaceous soft safety bumpers. Chad stood in the shadow created by his girlfriend’s body.

“Ms. Everhart told me they needed to proceed with the research,” Chad continued. “I tried to say no, but they made me. Ms. Belmont just wants me to get smaller and smaller.”

Chad tried not to get emotional as he spoke. Kelly was watching his face with close attention. Her hand hand moved behind Chad, and her fingertips were gently caressing his back. She wore an expression of empathy mixed with fascination.

“You’re naked,” Kelly said. “I guess your clothes don’t fit you any more.”

Chad shook his head, looking down. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want to cry in front of his girlfriend. The world had changed so much.

“And your phone?” Kelly asked.

Chad hadn’t even thought about his phone. “I don’t know. I guess it might be back at Nexifem? I lost track after…what happened.”

A moment passed and Kelly stroked Chad’s head with two fingers. “I don’t think you can live the way you used to anymore little guy,” Kelly said. “It’s not safe.”

Chad looked up at Kelly’s face, her eyes darted over his body. “You have to help me, Kelly,” he said. “Ms. Belmont wants…she wants…”

“Mommy Kelly is here,” Kelly whispered. “What does your boss lady want?”

“She wants to push me…”

“Push you?” Kelly asked.

“Inside of her, all the way inside of her,” Chad said.

Kelly inhaled sharply. Her hand stopped moving. She stared down at Chad. “I suspected that she might have been using you, that other women might have been with you,” she said. “Certainly with the other AGS claims coming in. I have been hearing many stories about small men who have been pressed into sex lately, of women who have blamed them for being whores and things. It’s quite the role reversal.

“N…no, you don’t understand,” Chad said.

“It’s okay Chadwick,” Kelly said. “I know you want to be with me. I know that Nexifem has helped you embrace your vulni side. It’s been worth the little sacrifices. You’ve changed a lot since we first met, not just physically.”

“Thank you so much Kelly, but I meant something else, something more,” Chad said.

Kelly tilted her hand, running her finger over Chad’s shoulder, fascinated by his small doll-like stature. “Well then what did you mean honey?” she asked. Kelly seemed to be coming to terms with his new size, a small smile now on her lips.

Chad was shocked his girlfriend was not more distraught at realizing he’d had sexual encounters with other women. In his mind, he heard Ms. Belmont’s laughter at the idea that he could be dating Kelly. His insecurities threatened to well up.

“Ms. Belmont wants Nexifem to make me small enough to fit inside of her vagina,” Chad said. “All of me. I’m…frightened.”

Kelly somewhat placid expression shifted to shock, and then slowly to arousal. Chad watched as his girlfriend looked like she was having an orgasm. She suddenly stood up over him and ran her hands slowly over her hips, along her curves. “That…that can’t be possible,” Kelly said, her words ending in a breathy gasp. “Can it? Are you serious Chadwick? Are you afraid of her vagina, precious?”

Chad was confused. Kelly seemed to care for him, but she also seemed thrilled to hear of Ms. Belmont’s frightening fantasies, of her ambitions. A diamond leaf-shaped wet spot had appeared in the crotch of Kelly’s leggings, darkening the fabric.

“Yes…Kelly,” Chad said.

“Oh honey, you can call me Mommy Kelly,” Kelly moaned. “I’ll protect you from the scary lady’s pussy. Now you run inside. I’ll open the door for you.”

Chad began to walk up the walkway to the front door of Kelly’s house. He noted how huge the bushes in her yard seemed, more like trees in a way. A bumble-bee flew by with a low-pitched drone and Chad was unnerved to notice that the insect seemed the size of a lime to him now, from his point-of-view. Of course, an actual lime would now be the size of a small beachball for Chad. Chad felt nervous at these new ratios. He had no desire to encounter a spider, much less something like a cat at this size. Chad felt Kelly’s steps close behind him.

Chad stepped over the doorframe and into the cool entrance of Kelly’s house, of his new home. Kelly stepped right over him, her sneaker landing very close to his body. He felt shocked at how easy it would be for her to step on him. A woman like Kelly could easily hurt or even kill him if she wasn’t careful.

Kelly closed the door, shutting out the outside world. “There, now you’re safe inside my little vulni-doll,” Kelly said.

Chad smiled and hugged Kelly’s calf. “Thank you…Mommy Kelly,” he said. It felt weird to say the words, but also somewhat erotic in a way.

Kelly shivered in pleasure. “Safe in inside my home,” Kelly said.

Chad nuzzled against Kelly’s leg as she whispered above him. “Mmm…that’s it,” she said. “I’ll straighten everything out. I want you to tell me more about Nexifem. I don’t think it makes sense for you to keep their secrets anymore. If you want me to keep you safe, I want you to tell me everything.”

Chad knew Kelly was right. He needed to tell her. He had little left to lose. He could trust Kelly.

“Okay Kelly,” Chad said. “I can tell you.”

“That’s a good boy,” Kelly said. “Let’s go upstairs to the living room first and you can tell me all about it.”

Chad looked at the staircase, which ascended to the second floor. Each step was up to his mid-thigh. He knew it would take him a while to climb up. Kelly looked back at him over her shoulder.

“You want some help?” She said.

Chad nodded as his girlfriend laughed. She bent down and gently wrapped her fingers around his waist.

Chad knew Kelly was orgasming as she lifted him off the floor, because she swayed and put one hand on the wall, almost falling to her knees.

“Oh my gawd, this is so hot,” Kelly sighed. “You’re so cute!”

Chad blushed and clung to Kelly’s sport top as she tucked him against her and climbed the stairs in a matter of seconds.

“Here we are!” Kelly exclaimed, setting him down gently on the floor. “I need to go change first. I’ll be right back. You just make yourself comfy on one of the sofa chairs or something.”

Kelly wandered off and Chad turned his attention to the next task, pushing a nervous worry out of his mind, trying not to think about how ‘well’ his girlfriend was taking his predicament, how much she even seemed to be enjoying it.

As Chad approached a comfy upholstered chair the size of a small cabin, he could hear Kelly humming to herself down the hall.
