CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: THE END Christine smiled tentatively at the woman standing in front of her, and the woman smiled back in kind. She allowed her gaze to move slowly along her body, taking note of small details she didn't ordinarily scrutinize. Let's start at the top, she thought. I like what she's done with the hair, a very short style reminiscent of Major Kira's on "Deep Space Nine", but a touch longer. Thank God, no gray yet, but she's only 31, for crying out loud. Eyebrows maybe a bit too thick, nose perhaps a bit too long, eyes...now stop that, she caught herself. I thought you stopped doing that years ago. Now start again, and be nice. Where were we? OK -- face: I wouldn't call her her drop-dead gorgeous, but she hasn't broken the changing room mirror or anything...hey! What did I just tell you, she admonished herself again. She'd been satisfied with the repair work the surgeons had done, and God knows the opposite sex had had no objections over the intervening seven years. She was not here to reminisce, however. So let's get down to it, shall we? She let her eyes move further downward to examine the bikini she was trying on. Summer's on the way, melanoma be damned. I've got to get some color into this whiter-than-white skin, she thought. Actually, I do look pretty damned good in this... The spaghetti straps of the halter top moved smoothly over a well-defined collarbone and down past a small mole on the left pectoral and a tiny strawberry mark on the right to plug into the two triangles of fabric which made the suit just barely legal in public. Her lip curled slightly as she thought of how difficult it had been to find something that fit properly -- she hoped that this would have to be the last place she tried. Not exactly a plain old garden-variety 34B, with plenty of matching suits around. Depending upon the article of clothing, she could be considered a very full C or just barely D cup. She'd had to concentrate on stores that offered separate tops and bottoms so she could find something that fit. Shouldn't complain, she said to herself. Sherri has an even worse time finding clothes with that enormous chest of hers. Impulsively she removed the top and took a good long look at herself. Back when I was a 34B I would have passed a pencil test, she thought, but after all these have been through, they still hold up well. The wine red nipples still pointed straight out from her chest, and slightly away from each other. Thank God for good ligaments, Chris thought. What will these look like in forty years? She cupped her breasts briefly, but withdrew her hands quickly. Boy, they're sensitive again today, she thought, as a quick bolt of warmth shot from them to her groin and her nipples responded with alacrity. Almost like the old days. She stepped back from the mirror and completed the visual tour. She noted in passing a couple of extra pounds around the waist -- nothing some more time on the Stairmaster wouldn't take care of -- if only she didn't love Ben & Jerry's so much. A slight look of chagrin crossed her face as she noted some wisps of pubic hair peeking out of the sides of the suit. If I buy this, I'll need some Nair, she thought. Hell, maybe I'll just go back to shaving it all off -- I actually liked being completely nude. She didn't give a second thought to her legs. That same Stairmaster had sculpted them into a perfect blend of bone, muscle, and just a hint of fat, just enough to smooth the lines out. Her legs and the firm butt they were attached to used to be her best feature, but for the past seven years her bustline had been what people noticed first. And this suit made good use of it. A quick breath, a sharp nod. She'll take the suit. Good thing, since today was The Day, and she had sworn to make a purchase before end of business, so as not to break with tradition. Every year at this exact time Chris shopped for a new bikini in order to acknowledge the anniversary of The Accident. Seven years ago today, after having bought a new bikini, she had stepped out of this very mall, into a bright late spring sun, only to be mowed down by a speeding car driven by a shoplifter trying to escape police. Even after all this time she wasn't sure whether to curse or thank that driver. The side effects of her injuries had caused her pituitary hormones to go crazy, causing her breasts to grow and spontaneously lactate to an extent so unusual that she had been the subject of a medical study that had won its author a position as chief researcher at a prestigious medical center. Sheila never did even so much as thank me, Chris remembered. Chris had also developed the ability to ejaculate upon orgasm, an ability which she retained to this day, albeit without the spectacular volumes of fluid she could generate in her heyday. Her breasts had also decreased in impressiveness once she'd stopped lactating, but they were still considerably larger than their pre-Accident proportions and despite the years, were every bit as firm. The fact that she still retained most of the advantages of the Accident was the reason she celebrated every year by treating herself to a new swimsuit. She emerged from the revolving door of the main mall entrance and smiled as the bright sunlight caused her to blink rapidly and begin searching her purse for her sunglasses. Even the weather's the same today, she said to herself. She hadn't gone ten meters before she realized she had forgotten where she'd parked. Mall parking lots are the bane of my existence, she thought. She stood in the middle of the drive adjacent to Section B, doing a slow 360, searching for the dented back bumper that made her Miata easy to identify. She clutched her tiny package under her arm, only vaguely aware of it. She was so intent on her search that only the barest fraction of her mind heard the screeching of tortured tires and the over-revving of an engine. She had just completed her full revolution when deja vu gripped her like a vise. Panicked, she spun about again, searching for the source of the sound, and was infinitely relieved to see a car speeding away several aisles down. "God, that was too weird", she said aloud as she stood recovering from the effects of an adrenaline surge. Back at her apartment, Chris tried on the bikini again, this time to see how it would go with the other beachwear she had in her closet. Her experience in the parking lot -- the certainty she'd felt that she was about to do it all over again at the hands of yet another crazed driver -- had served to stimulate her memory, and she found herself going over those two years during which her entire lifestyle had been ruled by the incredible sexual urges and abilities The Accident had bestowed upon her. Chris stood before her full-length mirror, resplendent in her tiny swimsuit, but her mind was elsewhere: Her living room, where Sherri had suckled her for the first time. Jeremy's palatial home, where a decadent Halloween party was her first exposure to the world of sexual excess. The hospital, being a guinea pig for Drs. Ellis and Frankenmuth. The creation of the Lac-Station, and the recruitment of other lactating women into that organization. The mysterious first client. The various seductions she'd performed. The pivotal trip to Jamaica where the dark side of sex caused her to begin questioning her new lifestyle. The decision to steer her life back into some semblance of normalcy. The case of VD that had brought her promiscuity to a screeching halt. As her experiences of those two years marched across her brain, Chris was surprised at the intensity of her memories of the physical sensations involved. Over the past five years she had grown so accustomed to her post-lactation body that she'd completely forgotten how much higher her level of arousal had been during that time, and how much more powerful her orgasms were. Now that she was plumbing the depths of those experiences, her somatic memory surged forward, and she was swept with sexual feelings that she had thought were gone forever. She opened her eyes and saw her image in the mirror, with face, throat and upper chest flushed pink, her ribcage expanding with her quickened breath, nipples poking smartly through the fabric of the bikini top, and a surge of moistness becoming noticable at the crotch of the bikini bottom. Before she knew what she was doing, Chris was out of the swimsuit, the two fingers of her right hand flying to her pubic region. Suddenly the feel of hair down there seemed wrong, alien somehow. As she furiously vibrated her fingers across her swollen clit, memories of herself squirting like a fountain from breasts and cunt, drenching her lovers with sweet secretions while lost in indescribable feelings of release, filled her head. In seconds she was coming with such force that her legs gave out from under her, and she landed with a thump on her pussy juice-coated behind. She blinked uncomprehendingly at her image in the mirror, sitting splay-legged before her, its quivering, drooling pussy still pulsing with each heartbeat. I haven't come like that in years, Chris thought, when rational thought was again possible. Could it be that I've missed it that much? Her next thoughts came to her in such a jumble that she was unable to sort them out, and so she gave herself over to instinct. She found herself moving into the second bedroom, which had long since been converted into a study. She opened the closet, which had remained closed for years, and therein found a stack of boxes. Inside one, she knew, was the super-duper breast pump that she had seen fit neither to repair nor dispose of. Inside another was her collection of breastfeeding and lactation treatises, untouched for half a decade. She pulled that box out, opened it, and started tossing books aside until she found the one she wanted. Paging furiously through it, tearing pages with her urgency, she found the chapter she was looking for, read it like an Evelyn Wood graduate, carried the book to the phone, hit the speed dial button, and waited for an answer. "Sherri? Hi, hon, it's me. Listen, are you sitting down? I've got a crazy idea for you..." She spoke excitedly, hurriedly, at times incoherently, for a few minutes, hung up, got dressed, and left the apartment with such haste that one would think it was on fire. The book she had so urgently consulted was left open to a chapter that might casually interest a normal reader, but that for Christine had ignited new passions and old dreams that were suddenly, tantalizingly irresistable. Its title? "Re-lactation and Induced Lactation".
