Plenty of Pretty Preliminary Presents

Enjoying Molly snuggled up on his lap, Paul reluctantly asked, “so when does this all start?”

Molly was just so thrilled that he agreed, she didn’t even think about the timing as she frantically looked around to find the clock to know what time it is. Luckily, they had woken up early enough without an alarm they still had a few hours to work with, but it wouldn’t be much. “Crap! You would need to get there by noon and that doesn’t give us much time.” Molly stood up as she scampered off to get her phone.

Paul noted that with the drive out there and what would be involved in getting ready; he wasn’t sure he was going to do it in time. “Can they push it back a bit?”

“No, no, no,” Molly said as she came back in with her phone in hand robe lost somewhere along the way. “Its all coordinated and sent out; she can’t do that. But don’t worry! I got help. I talked to Katie about it yesterday and she was thrilled at the idea and was excited to come out and help get Vyki ready!” Molly continued to type on her phone as she talked. “What I need from you is to go take a quick shower and get all clean, Master.”

Looking up from her phone as she approached Paul, Molly looked at him critically. “It’s a good thing you kept going to the tanning salon as they’ve kept you glowing and smooth,” as she stroked over his arms and chest, “I’m glad you introduced them to me as those ladies are magical. One of these days we may actually have to go together.” Molly then sighed exasperated as she looked into his deep blue eyes, “but that would require me to get time off during the week or you get out of your routine and join me on the weekend.”

Paul looked down sheepishly frustrated. The salon had become a bit of a guilty pleasure he enjoyed getting away from. He felt compelled to let Molly know the magicians that helped him pull off the look at Halloween and gave Molly a gift session to it. He had gone with her that first weekend to introduce her, but they were so hectic and the new receptionist didn’t know him and it just felt foreign & chaotic; he was happy to get out of there. However, she enjoyed it and had been going back every weekend. Paul had actually planned to stop it, but hearing Molly gush about it so much and feeling particularly down on Wednesday he returned for a refresh and felt rejuvenated the instant he walked in. They only asked him once about his ‘alter ego’ coming back in, but he was firm that was not happening. The team were happy to have him coming in appreciatively, they never brought it back up.

All that went through his head in an instant as he took a deep breath and replied with a plastered smile, “we’ll have to work on that.”

“Sure, dear,” Molly said as she gently pushed him towards the bathroom, “go get wet, babe.” Paul chuckled as he headed off to the shower.

While in the shower, Paul couldn’t help but go over his skin as a reminder of how much he had changed his body. Not only in the past few months getting ready for the party, but he could remember how much of gut he used to have before they decided to actually get more fit. Now, looking at himself, he’d never would be considered ‘athletic’, but he hadn’t been this thin since college. And then to go over his smooth, tan skin, just made it even more surreal.

Then to consider how much he had changed that wasn’t just physically. He and Molly had always been adventurous sexually and gone deep into BDSM, yet here he was shedding his masculine nature for a feminine façade. He remembered back to when she had first laughed at him when he looked ridiculous in their naive attempt crossdressing in the bedroom. Now, he stood here in the shower about to get done up to go out to help charity and Molly was enthusiastically supporting it. Life is weird.

Finishing himself up in the floral soap and scrubbing down, he finishes the quick shower wishing he could stay in the warmth a bit longer but gets out as he knows there’s little time. Getting a big fluffy towel, he pats his smooth skin dry, still amazed at how much faster it goes without hair holding water to him.

Once dry, he notices the jug of Cherry Berry Delight body oil by the door where it looks like Molly hung Vyki’s robe. Taking it as a hint, Paul oils up his body to help put a fresh sheen to his skin, feeling his tension and apprehension melt away before dawning the purple robe.

Walking out to the living room there is almost a bounce to Paul’s step as feels like his floating across the room. Looking around he sees Molly bent over trying to look through the presents behind the tree but giving a very pleasing view of her exposed bottom. “Oh, hello!” Paul replies to arousing visage he never gets tired of. As she tosses her head to look back in panic without standing up, Paul is sure she’s been caught. “It’s no use shaking the presents; you’ll never guess what I got you.”

“Very funny,” Molly said as she continued fighting to try to get her robe free as she was getting the large present from behind the tree. “Apparently this branch really likes my robe,” she resorts as she fiddles with it before slipping her arm out of the sleeve.

“Well,” Paul admits as he caresses the robe he’s wearing, “they are luxurious. Do you want some help?”

“No!” Molly says emphatically causing Paul to jump back a bit. “Just stay there.” Molly realizes how sharp she sounded and takes a deep breath to calmly reply, “sit down and I’ll bring it to you.”

Paul was a little surprised by her initial tone, but was not opposed to the show, so he took a seat and calmly watched her work.

Molly struggled with the robe for a bit, but finally resigned to just leaving it with the tree and wiggled out the other arm and grasping the large present she intended to and stood up letting the robe fall away. Turning around holding the present in front of her, she let out a deep breath, “there. Told you I would get it.”

She then walked over and placed the large preset on the table in front of him. “While I appreciate the outfit, isn’t this for tomorrow?” Paul asked.

“Oh, this old thing?” Molly chuckled at him, “you always liked it. Besides, you’re not the house slut, yet; gotta hold onto my title while I can.” Which Paul gasps at and reaches out to swat her playfully. “However, this was something I think could help you out today and if you read the tag, you might get a clue as to why.”

Paul just looked at her questioning with the cryptic reply and slid forward to read the label under the pressed bow.

To: Vyki
From: Nico & Xane

“Seriously?” Paul said with honest surprise.

“Yes!” Molly says with genuine excitement. “Open it! They only hinted what was in there, so I hope it's useful.”

“K,” Paul says as he rips into the wrapping before tearing open the nondescript brown box. As he pulls away the packing material, he’s present with what looks like a woman’s disembodied torso.

“Oh my God!” Molly exclaims as she looks in on it.

Looking at it, the obvious breasts are the first thing to catch your eye, but Paul also notices the hair at the top lies directly on the neck and the body seems to cut off at the crotch below; it appears to cover about the same as a sleeveless swimsuit. Reaching in, he grasps the side of the chest and pulls out the apparatus. As he does, the hair and a piece of paper falls in behind it as well as a large thud grabbing both of their attention.

Molly grabs the piece of paper to uncover whatever made the noise and grabs the pink item. Pulling it up, he instantly recognizes it. “Guess they updated the inhalers; maybe the classic blue was too ironic for them?”

“Maybe,” Molly says as she takes the sheet of paper and starts reading the letter printed on it.

Dear Vyki,
Thank you again for all your help on our initial Vadget project. In fact, it was such an initial success, we had some tech inclined clients looking at a v2 already. They were so excited; they accepted our outrageous estimate for the new design as well as the upfront funding for two prototypes in addition to their end products. With their accelerated timeline we needed someone with technical experience and product familiarity and immediately thought of you for one of those test units. We really hope you will accept this gift and provide us feedback as soon as possible to meet their March deadline. If not, please take this Vadget+ (WIP) prototype as a token of our thanks and enjoy exploring the possibilities as you find time; we could not be doing this without you.

Molly breaks from reading, “damn! That’s amazing!” Glancing back at the paper, she briefly sees the inventory and other details, “apparently it's a real wig and more of that spray with a bunch of technical details, but damn that thing looks real!” Molly says as she lets the paper drop into Paul’s lap while she reaches out to caress a boob. “The texture feels right, but something inside feels weird.

Paul noticed it too and picks up the paper. “Oh, wow! Apparently, the breasts house ‘additional battery packs for longer use as well as kinetic chargers to add energy as you move throughout the day.’ Wild! They’ve apparently quadrupled the run time and extended the range by moving the antennae and running it down to the main apparatus.” Paul holds the apparatus up more and sees that it's not a traditional body suit.

“Why is it like that?” Molly asks, seeing all the extra flaps.

“Not sure,” he replies as he notices the chest appears constructed like a normal breast plate, but waist area goes down to about the hips and has a seam up the back resulting in loose flaps. Even more disturbing is the crotch area dangles in front with the vaginal area stopping at the taint as if half the crotch is there and nothing behind is there. Going back to the paper, “apparently Nico isn’t comfortable keeping the area in back sanitized and just leaves it off. They recommend continuing to use sealant to hold the edges in place; great. The seam is for easier access and pulling it into place; that doesn’t sound good.”

“Oh, I’m sure it's fine.” Molly replied as the doorbell rang. She could tell Paul was deep in reading something, but knew it was likely Katie so she rushed to let her in so they could get Paul in his new present ASAP. “I’ll get it!”

Paul continued to read the paperwork as the ‘CAUTION’ lines seemed rather concerning and gave Molly on a passing “thanks,” as he kept trying to decipher what they’re getting at here.
