The phone rang only once when the line was picked up. The racing radio waves that bounced their signals from tower to tower connected the two voices to the two ears. Yu and Lydia were only separated by a few city streets but for the moment it was as if they were in the same room.
"Hey?"
"Hey." Muted, emotionless.
"What's up?" Almost un-contained glee.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing." Twittering laughter.
"Don't lie."
"I made a wish."
"Last night?"
"Yeah."
"While I was asleep?"
"I was looking for my shirt and accidentally touched the lamp. The genie popped out. I panicked." There was a hint of a smile in the voice.
"Panicked?"
"Like you did the other day."
"Hmm ..."
"What's it like so far?"
"Don't you know?"
"What colour is it?"
There was a long pause.
"Yu?"
"Green. Dark-green and shiny."
A sharp intake of breath. "Has it spread much?"
"Just over my ass. Is this going to be as bad as you?"
"Full-body but no mermaid legs. Is that what you meant?"
"I guess. It was just a little shocking."
"Imagine how I felt. Have you noticed anything else yet?"
"You mean the tugging? It spreads if I touch it and think about sex, right?"
"Something like that. You knew it was me though? Right from the start?"
"You were the only other person who knows about magic. Plus you signed your name to it."
"What?"
"Your name is written along my dick in gold letters."
"Weird."
"You didn't know?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"My wish was muddled in my brain and the genie helped me with a bit of it."
"How much?"
"I don't know. About half. He seemed to know what I wanted and gave it to me in a form that would work under his rules."
"Lydia, tell me you at least asked for it to be temporary."
"I did. The same temporary that you gave me."
"What does that mean?"
"Oh right, you didn't hear what the genie said. It's temporary changes but the ability is permanent. You can do it as many times as you want. Like you did to me."
"But I only asked for one time?"
"The genie said your mind wanted it more than that. You got what you wanted."
Was there a note of recrimination in her voice? Yu thought for a moment about what he wanted. The genie, the mermaid, the spandex, the secrecy; was all of it a part of some deep-seated desire of his.
"And you got what you wanted, Lydia? Payback?"
"Not revenge, Yu. But a mutual understanding. Do you know how it feels to be turned into a love toy, now?"
"It was never intended to be like that."
"Whatever. Now it is."
"Lydia, I'm sorry. Can you stop this?"
"Not until the end."
"Not until you get what you want?"
"Well, at least once. What's it like?"
"Lydia ..."
"Is it soft, Yu? Can you feel your skin sliding about inside your clothes? I bet you feel slippery and sexy and hard right now."
Listening to her voice Yu did feel those things. His erection had lasted for well over a half hour now without his efforts to maintain it. He could feel his naked ass wiggle and clench inside his jeans and it made him feel a hidden sexiness. He could walk down the street and people would never know what was going on inside his head, inside his body, just below the surface.
Yu adjusted his folded cock in the jeans while thinking about how Lydia must feel when her breasts grew yesterday in the restaurant. Her huge round breasts squeezing inside a t-shirt that was a size too small. People would stare at her and think sexy thoughts. Yu wanted to stare at Lydia and think sexy thoughts. Then he would get to act on them.
He felt a tug on his penis then. It felt like it was turning him toward his door. It was like the spandex part of him wanted him to leave the room and go find Lydia. He felt his cock and his ass pushing him to leave the room. And something new; his thighs clenched as if he was going to take a step. Yu had not intended to move from this place but his thighs and hips seemed to make the motion that he was. With one hand he unfastened his jeans again and let them fall. He could see that the spandex had once again moved. It had spread down his legs to about mid-thigh. The muscles under the spandex seemed larger and stronger. It was these that had flexed involuntarily to try to get him to walk to see Lydia. Sexy thoughts seemed to make the spandex spread and as it spread he was loosing control of his actions. If the spandex covered both legs entirely would he have been able to stop himself from running to be with Lydia?
His free hand rubbed his spandex coated butt cheek. It felt good under his hand but he was afraid. Afraid of losing control. Lydia was in control at the moment. She had even signed her name to his junk. Like she had staked a claim; 'This is my penis and no one's else.' Yu felt better but only just. He could trust Lydia but she had not known about the gold lettering. That might have been the work of the genie. The genie that Yu did not trust. The genie that had ignored Yu's words and given him his mind's deepest wants. Yu could not imagine what Lydia's deepest wants had been.
Yu groaned a little into the phone.
"What's happening babe? Is the spandex spreading?"
"Lydia ..."
"Can I see? Come over and show me. I'll be alone after my bro goes out with his friends."
"Lydia ... sure, fine."
There was a sudden rush of pleasure in the spandex portion of his body. Once again his penis thrust forward. There was the feeling of elation and the spandex tingled on afterward in a pleasing way that made the rest of his body shiver with delight.
"What was that?" Yu asked.
"What? Did something happen?"
"Did you do something? I felt ..."
"Just come over, OK. Be quick."
The line died in his hand and now Yu was alone in his room. His penis tugged and his thighs twitched. He was needed over at Lydia's. He needed to go to Lydia.
