The Body Swap: A Transgender Novella

By Susan Donym

Melanie is happily married to Susanna, her sexy witch wife. But when Susanna finds out that Melanie slept with their friend Henry one drunken night years ago, the enraged sorceress casts a spell and swaps Melanie and Henry's bodies... and their bodies aren't all they swapped. The two friends are experiencing strange and powerful new cravings, as Melanie finds herself thinking like a man and Henry learns how thrilling life can be as a woman.

Susan Donym, author of such books as From Bro to Bimbo and Werechild: The Man Who Became a Little Girl, returns with another magical story of gender metamorphosis. The Body Swap is a novella taking us inside the minds of two people as their bodies transform and their lives are turned upside down. What is it like for a man to become small, soft and feminine, or for a woman to find herself in a body that's muscular and masculine, like nothing she's ever known? In The Body Swap you'll know their fear and confusion, but also their growing pleasure as they experience life in each other's forms.

Susanna may have intended this swap to be a punishment, but for Melanie and Henry it's turning out to be a little too much fun!

Book preview

On the drive home from work Melanie called her wife Susanna to tell her about the promotion. When Susanna heard the news she screamed so loudly that Melanie had to hold the phone away from her ear.

I'm so proud, Susanna said. We are gonna celebrate our butts off. I know just the spell!

Melanie sighed. Susanna was a powerful witch, but now that they'd settled down together and had kids she only used her sorcery for special occasions. Melanie didn't miss the magic. She'd never gotten used to coming home from work to find that Susanna had changed herself into some whole other person, or a squirrel.

What do you have in mind? You gonna get some can of pinto beans from the cupboard and turn it into a bottle of champagne?

Oh, this is way better than pinto bean champagne, believe me. There’s something special I’ve been wanting to try, and tonight’s the night.

Honey, I don’t know if I need some big, magic thing right now. I have to prepare for my new gig on Monday, and I’m kind of nervous about it. It’s really not the best time for me to spend a week as a pair of your panties or something.

"I didn't turn you into my panties for a week. It was only a weekend."

It was supposed to be just two days, and then I was stuck as a thong for another day while you tried to figure out how to change me back!

Don’t worry, I'm not planning to turn you into anything this time. You're gonna love this.

Yeah? Melanie thought it over. I can’t think of what it could be. We already did the mermaid thing.

Trust me. This is better than the mermaid thing.

"Better than the mermaid thing? That’s impossible."

This is better.

Melanie ran two red lights on the way home.

When Melanie pulled up outside the house their friend Henry's car was in the driveway. As she approached the front door she could hear Henry hollering with the kids in the living room, and as soon as she entered Henry rushed at her.

Melly Belly! Congratulations on your promotion!

He bent down and before Melanie could say anything he had yanked up Melanie’s blouse and kissed her on the belly. That was his new thing, since jiggling Melanie’s soft little tummy apparently wasn’t embarrassing enough anymore. Melanie gritted her teeth.

Henry, we’ve talked about you kissing my stomach.

Can’t help it. That little poochy tummy of yours is too cute to resist.

Susanna came out of the kitchen and sighed, folding her arms.

"You know Henry, I'd appreciate it if you kept your big hairy mitts off of my wife. Melanie belongs to me."

Henry laughed.

Relax, honey. I gave up girls around the time I had my wisdom teeth out, so you've got nothing to worry about unless Melanie grows a...

Melanie touched a finger to his lips, shushing him and cocking her head to indicate that the kids were watching. Lenny looked confused.

Unless Mommy grows a what?

Henry smiled and bent down to look at Lenny and Amanda.

You kids are gonna be staying at Uncle Henry and Uncle Troy's place tonight, so your mommies can have a nice night together.

Thank you, Susanna said. We do appreciate you for getting the little monkeys out of the house tonight. She reached around put her hand on Melanie’s butt. I have plans for Mel, here. Big plans. Wild, crazy, possibly illegal plans.

Melanie giggled.

What, are we gonna go rob a bank?

Maybe. The night is young.

"Kids! Henry was loud at the best of times, but when he yelled he made the windows rattle. Come on, let’s go!"

Lenny was all smiles, but little Amanda scowled, ran off to her room and slammed the door. Susanna groaned.

What's up with Manny now?

She doesn’t wanna go, Lenny said.

Jeez, Susanna said. "That kid is working my last nerve. She’s always pouting about how we don’t go out enough. Now she can go out, and she’s pouting about how she wants to stay home. If we bought her a pony, I bet she’d pout that it was the wrong color. I’ll go get her."

Susanna headed back to Amanda’s bedroom. Melanie picked Lenny up. He was already too heavy to comfortably pick up, but even if she was risking a slipped disk, Melanie couldn’t help herself.

We’re sure gonna miss our little guy tonight, Lenny.

Why can’t we stay here with you? What are you and mom gonna do?

They’re gonna do awful, boring grownup stuff, Henry said. They’re gonna do their taxes, eat some broccoli, stuff like that.

But I like broccoli!

Henry chuckled.

"Well, don’t worry. You and me and your sister, we’ll have some fun tonight. We can watch Una Tristeza Abrumadora."

Lenny smiled shyly, and Melanie felt him squirming in her arms.

What's that? Melanie asked. Some foreign movie?

It's a Mexican soap, Henry said. He leaned in toward Lenny with a
