neck.”
    “Darling, you can plan to get a lot more of those kisses. I like it that there’s no hair in the way when I hold you from behind and bend down to nuzzle your neck.”
    She turned to face him. “Do you really, Jack?”
    “Oh yes.”
    “I always thought you loved my long hair,” she couldn’t avoid an overtone of petulance in her voice.
    “I did love your long hair. But, somehow, this style excited me almost instantly … as soon as I actually recognized you, that is. This is very pretty on you, Susan. And it’s incredibly sexy to me. I’m just being honest; you look really hot, really desirable right now.”
    “You called me Suzi before.”
    “Yeh, I guess I did. I heard Ashley call you that … I must have thought it fit.”
    “I look like a Suzi now?”
    He chuckled. “I suppose you do. I hope I didn’t upset you. I suggest you don’t waste any brain power worrying about it. I won’t call you “Suzi” anymore if you don’t want me to.”
    She thought for a moment before responding. “No, I guess I don’t mind. I suppose I agree that I do look more like a Suzi than a Susan now. This has all happened so fast, and so unexpectedly, that I’m still coming to grips with it. On the one hand, I don’t like the fact that someone else has changed me. On the other hand, my biggest worry – that you wouldn’t think me desirable – has turned out not to be an issue.”
    “Oh Babe, I find you infinitely desirable!”
    “More desirable than before?” Could it be true?
    Jack cocked his head to one side and smiled. “Actually, I think I do. I’ve always been uncontrollably drawn to you, there’s no doubt about that. But I have to admit that I’m finding you an order of magnitude more sexy, seductive and desirable right now.”
    Susan could feel her breathing quicken. She believed him, and the evidence was clear on his face and protruding from his boxers.
    “Then get out of those and climb in the Jacuzzi. I’ll join you in a moment.”
    As Jack got into the tub, Susan went into the bedroom to undress and toss her clothes on a chair. She returned to the bathroom and bent to open the Cristal.
    “I see you’ve decided to shave down below again. I always liked it when you kept it that way, but I thought you didn’t like the stubble that appeared the next day. I remember trying to talk you into getting it waxed, but you said it sounded too much like torture.”
    Susan popped the cork and looked at Jack wistfully. “Well, stubble isn’t going to be a problem ever again. As it happens, all the bridesmaids have these little matching thong bikinis for the pool parties. To make mine look right, Ashley arranged for electrolysis treatments to get rid of anything that stuck out. Then the next day the treatments continued until they got rid of all my curls down there.”
    “Permanently?”
    “Yep. What you see is what you get. Nothing’s gonna grow on that mound anymore.”
    “That’s great! I love it!”
    “This is one thing I did think you’d like,” she added with a smirk, while pouring the champagne.
    Taking his champagne, he noticed her hands for the first time. He’d been so enamored of her new looks that he’d missed them before. “Ashley again?” He asked.
    Susan looked at her short red nails with some embarrassment. She had to trim, file and re-polish them every couple of days. She’d gotten used to how they felt, but she was clumsy as hell when it came to picking up almost anything. She’d been surprised and then dismayed at how much she’d relied on her nails for dexterity.
    “Yes. Ashley has long nails so, of course, the bridesmaids have to have short ones.”
    He dropped the obviously sensitive subject and clinked her glass. “Happy days, Darling,” he said.
    “Well … they’ve been different and unsettling for sure. Can you truly be happy with me like this?”
    “Susan … Suzi, I love everything about the way you look. I can deal with change, and these changes happen to
