“Am I crazy?” Will asked, seemingly to himself. “You’ve turned me into a girl, and now you want me to...”
“I won’t force you to do anything,” Bernard chided softly. “If you really hate this, just flip the sheet over and lie on it until you’re male again.”
Will craned his neck to look at the sheet, lying innocently there on the couch. Five steps, a flip, and he could be male again. Doing so would mean leaving the warm circle of Bernard’s arms, and Will couldn’t bring himself to do so. It felt cozy, like warm blankets on a cold winter morning, and leaving that warmth felt as difficult.
Instead, Will turned to snuggle against Bernard’s chest. “This is so unfair. How did you get so sexy... I mean so muscular? You were never like this.”
Bernard chuckled softly. “Same sheet. The other side doesn’t just turn you into a guy, it keeps going.”
“To this?” Will traced a finger over Bernard’s chest, drawing a delightful shudder from him.
Bernard looked away from Will and took a deep breath to settle himself. “No, this is just where I settled as comfortable. Traci tried going all the way once. She looked like she could bench-press a car.”
“Show me.” It was barely a whisper.
Bernard grinned. “You want to see me even more muscly than this? I’ll need to ditch my clothes so I don’t tear them.”
Will blushed and nodded. He stood transfixed in the doorway as Bernard slipped away from their embrace. Bernard caught the look Will was giving him, and made a little show of taking off his shirt and pants. Then he scooped the sheet up from the couch, and swirled it around his shoulders like a cape. He turned his back to hide the changes, glancing over his shoulder at Will to judge the effect he was having.
The pretty woman was staring at him unabashedly. Bernard kept the sheet between them, pulling it tight so the flex of muscles in his back and arms was visible through it. He thought he could see a little drool on her chin.
When Bernard tossed aside the sheet, posing with a physique that would put most bodybuilders to shame, Will’s jaw dropped. “Fuck me.”
Bernard gave Will a saucy grin. “Is that a request?”
Will blinked out of the trance. “Uh... Yes. Yes it is.”
Bernard scooped Will up in muscular arms, drawing a very feminine giggle. They vanished into the bedroom. A minute later Bernard returned, dug through his pants pockets for two very smug condoms, and headed back to the bedroom, whistling happily.

Will was snuggled up against Bernard, enjoying the afterglow, when suddenly she grew larger. She yelped in confusion, then started to chuckle with Bernard. “The shrinker wore off, I guess.”
“Yep.”
Will stretched a long shapely leg, laying it beside Bernard’s muscled on. It was a little bit longer than his. “It’s weird to be bigger than you.”
Bernard snorted. “You were always taller than me.”
“Yeah, but just now... I want to be the little spoon again,” said Will wistfully. “Can you shrink me for more than an hour?”
“We have the technology,” intoned Bernard, then chuckled. He rolled out of bed, and was soon back with a silver bracer with an inset red stone. “This lets you stay shrunk as long as you like. But there are side effects.”
Will raised an expressive eyebrow, and waited for the explanation. Bernard told of how the bracer was designed to work with the shrinker, holding the ‘charge’ until the gem was tapped. It also worked with the sheet, but it only restored to the point where the bracer was put on.
“So if you wear this, you won’t change back to a man tomorrow.”
Will grabbed the bracer and put it on. “Fine by me. It was at best fifty-fifty anyway, right?”
“Yeah. It’s pretty easy to tip the odds to the permanent side when you want to change back.”
Will looked Bernard in the eye. “If, not when.”
Bernard grinned hugely. “You don’t hate being a woman?”
“So far, so good. Now shrink me back down to where I’m supposed to be.”
“As you wish.”
Bernard fetched the shrinker, and carefully reduced Will to shoulder height once more. “Small enough? The other side effect I forgot to mention... while you’re wearing that bracer, the shrinker can shrink you smaller than half height.”
“Oh? How small can it make me?” asked Will, eyes alight with curiosity.
“How small do you want to be?”
