Desire in the Desert

Jade hated mirrors. She stared daggers at the one in her bathroom as she toweled herself off. She ran her fingers through her inchlong hair that was just starting to grow back after shaving it to get rid of pesticide-resistent head lice. She wanted to tell herself that the look was stylish and edgy, but the mirror told her the painful truth. She just looked like a chia pet.

As her eyes trailed down her neck and towards her chest the mirror lashed out with more hard truths. She wished that words like voluptuous or curvaceous could be used to describe her breasts, but the mirror told her plainly that "small handful" or "speedbump" would be generous. She squeezed her breasts, closing her eyes and willing them larger. Jade pinched her nipples and bit her lip, but when she opened her eyes, the mirror hadn't changed its cold assessment.

At least I am skinny. She thought, running her hands down her ribs and over her flat stomach. She really shouldn't feel sorry for herself, there were girls out there with no tits and a gut.

But this wasn't what it was supposed to be like. She had just turned nineteen. She was supposed to be at the peak of hotness, ensnaring the boys with her womanly charms. Instead, her boyfriend had just dumped her before heading off to college, while she was stuck here in Neezgai, set to start Community College today.

Fucking Kyle. As soon as Jade had told him she turned down Stanford to stay in town and take care of her sick mother he had started looking for the door. There was no attempt to pretend they would try to make long distance work. The douchebag hadn't even had the decency to kiss her before trying to find something better, leaving her stuck as a never-been-kissed virgin. Fucking religious boys. She hated his guts, but she still had dreams about him, his soft lips, his chiseled abs, his...

Jade's hand made its way further down her body as she felt a tightness rising in her chest. He fingers slipped into the gap between her slender thighs, her fingers stroking her clit ever so gently-

No! That asshole didn't deserve another moment of her time. Boyfriends were supposed to stand by your side when your dad died and your mom got sick, not throw you out like spoiled fish. She slid her fingers out and finished drying herself off.

"No more time wasted on shitheads." Jade said to the mirror. It wasn't sure it believed her.

Jade got dressed and made her way through the house. She wore a rust-colored miniskirt and a dark green tank top. Her dad would have made her go back to her room and change. More fucking fundamentalist men trying to tell her what to do. She looked angrily at the lucky charm he had given her days before he died that she had attached to her key ring. She wanted to chuck it into the desert. She squeezed the tiny metal bugle, but put her keys into her purse. Her dad was dead and Kyle was gone. She would do what she wanted. She was a new woman.

Jade peaked into the empty kitchen before heading to her car. Her mom was at the hospital for another round of treatment, so the house was empty. She grabbed a bagel from the cupboard.

As Jade drove through the dry New Mexico heat, she looked around the sad little town of Neezgai, where she had spent most of her life, and now would likely spend most of the rest of it too. To call it a town was an insult. Neezgai was a small tumor on the side of the St. Vitalis Army base. The only reason anyone came out here to the middle of the desert was to work at the base. The ruddy dust that blew in off the mesa coated everything with what seemed like a speckled layer of rust, as if the desert wanted anyone who drove through to know the town was falling apart.

She drove up to the dilapidated building that housed classes for the community college. It had been the town’s second middle school, until the town’s shrinking population had closed it down. Now it hosted ESL classes, bingo night, and “active aging” sessions for seniors.

Jade took a moment sitting in her old 2006 Honda Accord to come to terms with the fact that this was her life now. She was supposed to be moving into a dorm at Stanford, meeting cute guys, and making new friends. Instead she was going to be stuck with a bunch of crusty retirees and anyone else who hadn’t managed to make it out of Neezgai.

Jade took a deep breath and walked inside.

The fluorescent lights, moldy drop ceilings, and burnt-orange heavy metal chairs all fit the stereotype to a tee, but the students were less geriatric than Jade had anticipated. She sat next to a pretty Japanese girl who looked like she was in her early twenties.

"Hi! I'm Jade."

"Mei. This your first class too?"

"Yeah. I haven't seen you around, are you new in town?"

"Yep, My boyfriend just got transferred to the base a month ago. You a local?"

"Yeah, my dad works... I mean… used to work up at the base."

Jade looked at Mei and felt embarrassed to be an uncultured "local". Mei was drop dead gorgeous, with long straight black hair and tits the size of grapefruits. She was wearing a navy blue, sleeveless sweater dress that hugged her curves like a second skin. Of course a girl that beautiful had a boyfriend. A surge of jealousy rose in Jade's throat.

"We are new in town, is there anything fun to do around?"

"Uh, not much. It’s pretty dead."

"My boyfriend said the new recruits were having a party at some house tonight over on Blacklog street. You should come along!"

Jade knew that house, it was notorious in town for wild parties with all the young army guys. Her father had always forbidden her from going anywhere near that place.

"I don't know..."

"Come on! I don't know anyone else in town, and you know that there's going to be a bunch of dumb GIs there. I don't want to be the only girl, but I am not letting my man go alone."

Did this hot girl really want to be Jade's friend? What had being a good girl all these years gotten her? A shaved head and a broken heart. She was a new woman right? And she already had the night off work anyway.

"Sounds fun!"

The rest of the class went by in a blur. Mei and Jade were clearly the smartest in the room and dominated most of the discussion. As Jade drove home she felt a glimmer of hope that maybe her entire life wasn’t over yet.

***

That night Jade studiously ignored the mirror's comments about her flat chest and short hair while she got ready to go out. She couldn't remember the last time that she had really gone out. Kyle had been more for movie nights than taking her out to dinner or parties.

She was wearing a slinky black dress that fit her snugly with no bra. If you were going to be as skinny as a pencil cactus, you might as well show it off. It had a neckline that dropped almost to her navel, not that she had any cleavage to show off. She faced down the mirror and outlined her lips in a dark crimson red to match the dark crimson longcoat she would be wearing against the cold desert nights. The mirror told her that no one would think she looked good. She told the mirror to go fuck itself. With one last glance at her nemesis, she walked out into the evening.

The music was already pounding from the house by the time she got there. Mei met her on the xeriscape.

"Thank god, you're here! I was worried you weren't coming. Let's have some fun!"

Mei was wearing a mint green dress completely open along the sides except for some straps straining desperately to hold it to her frame. She had matching mint green heels and her hair was tied up with a matching ribbon.

"Wow, you look amazing!" Jade said, that feeling of shame and jealousy welling up inside her again.

"I've gotta make my man remember why he picked me! You look damn hot yourself! Like you just walked off the runway. I’ll have to point Todd out to you so I don’t have to kill you for making eyes at him." Mei laughed as she leaned in close to Jade's ear and grabbed her waist. Jade could smell the alcohol on Mei's breath.

Inside, the party was not the sausage fest that Mei had feared. It seemed the recruits had invited a lot of the local girls. Jade ended up dancing with Mei, her boyfriend Todd, and another new recruit, Theo.

Theo was cute in that army boy kind of way. A little too short, but muscle bound and square jawed, maybe a year older than Jade was. He wore a light blue button-down and loose slacks. As the music pumped Jade danced closer and closer to him, until she was grinding her nonexistent ass against his crouch.

She felt a rush of satisfaction as she could feel his dick stiffening under his clothes. It might be a low bar, but even chicks with no ass could still get a guy hard.

The satisfaction turned to a rising heat as he slipped his hands onto her waist and pulled her closer to him so that when she bent over, she could feel his throbbing cock pulse against her pussy through the fabric.

Jade was a virgin. She had never even been kissed. The feeling of a man's rough hands holding her… pressing her insistently into his manhood… it made her think so many sinful thoughts, about all the things she wanted to do to him.

The song stopped and she pulled away to catch her breath. Theo kept dancing but his eyes were watching her through the crowd. There was a part of her that liked that. That she could draw his eye. There was another part that was scared by it. Her father had been strict, any sex before marriage was a grave sin.

Why was she thinking about her dad at a time like this? Jade needed another drink. She went to the punch table, and as she was pouring herself a cup, she saw a short army boy with a crew cut and big round glasses looking desperately around the table.

"I swear it has to be here somewhere!"

"Why did you even bring it to a party?" Asked a hulking army boy behind him, who also seemed to be looking for something, much more halfheartedly.

"I wasn't supposed to let it out of my sight! That stuff is worth its weight in gold. I must have put it down on the table when I got my drink… a little red vial..."

"Maybe someone already drank it?"

"Then they are the luckiest guy in here, they say that stuff will make your dreams come true! We have to find it before that happens, the lieutenant is going to kill me!"

Jade downed the punch and chased it with a shot of whiskey, then headed back onto the dance floor, ready to get that first kiss, if not something more.

But when she got back to the place where she had left Theo, Mei, and Todd, she didn't see any of them. Well, she didn't see them at first. Looking around she saw that Theo was sitting on a couch with a stunning black woman with huge tits and a shaved head mounted on top of him , her tongue halfway down his throat.

Jade felt fury rise in her, but it was quickly crushed by the rising tide of despair. So much for being a new woman. She looked around for Mei, but saw her pressed up against a wall, Todd on his knees in front of her, head under her skirt. Mei's eyes were rolled back in her head and she was clawing at the wall in pleasure. No help there.

Jade ran into the bathroom and thanked god that it was empty. She closed and locked the door then buried her head in her hands. She sat on the toilet and cried for a moment, before going to the sink.

But of course, when she looked up, her nemesis the mirror was right there smirking. Mocking her. Saying I told you so. Her eyeliner was running and she looked a mess. A flatchested, bald-headed mess. No one would ever love her. No one would ever kiss her. She was worthless. The only question was how was she going to get out of this party without anyone seeing how upset she was?

As she started to wipe the tears off her face and redo her makeup, she saw something sitting on the bathroom counter. It was a little red vial of liquid. What had the army boy with the big glasses said? One sip and all your dreams would come true? What could it hurt? She had already hit rock bottom.

With booze-induced courage she grabbed the vial and took a little sip. The effect was instantaneous. She felt a pleasant burning course down her throat that spread throughout her body. It felt so good. She was suddenly filled with insatiable want. She had to get Theo, to kiss him, to make him hers. She didn't want to love him, she wanted to possess him, she wanted him to crave her, to need her, to become addicted to her.

As this pleasure coursed through her veins, she looked up at the mirror, at her tiny tits, and flat ass. She willed them to get bigger, and for once, they did.

At first she thought it was just the arousal making her nipples hard, but slowly the feeling of insatiable appetite rose up into her breasts and they swelled, growing larger and rounder, until they strained against her dress, The slit going down no longer showed her flat sternum, but luscious, firm sideboob. The fabric stretched almost to bursting as her new assets strove to break free.

If Jade had been sober, she would have freaked out, but as it was, she was hornier than she had ever been in her life and wasn’t stopping there. She looked at her hair and willed it to grow longer, until she felt a fiery tingling in her scalp. Soon, she had luscious flowing locks of her light brown hair going down to her waist.

Finally she turned around and looked at her flat ass. It grew larger and firmer. As it did so her short dress rode up failing to fully cover the new addition. By the time it stopped, you could just see her pale pink panties between her thighs.

As these changes came over her, Jade felt horniness surge throughout her body like she had never felt it before. Her pussy was dripping wet just looking at her new shape. Her nipples were rock hard, showing as stiff points on her dress. Her ass was clenched tight. She wanted, no, she needed a man inside her, and with her new assets she was confident she could find one willing to oblige.

Jade stoppered the precious vial, dreams come true to be certain, and stowed it in her purse, then opened the door, truly a new woman.

She stalked through the party like a lioness on the prowl until she spotted Theo, dancing with the black girl. Flat chested Jade might not stand a chance against such a beauty, but with this body, she was the queen of the dance floor.

It was clear that Theo didn't recognize her, but his eyes locked onto her barely concealed tits and she approached. Without a bra they swayed back and forth as she walked. Soon she was grinding against him again, the other girl dancing behind him with her arms over his shoulders. Jade could feel his hard dick again, rubbing against her pussy as she pressed it up against him. She was so horny her hips ached to get him inside of her.

In a surge of passion she spun around, grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him straight on the face. It felt fantastic. Her face pressing against his. She relished the rough feel of his lips against hers, the heat of his breath, the smell of his musk. He slid his hands along her ass, squeezing it tight and pulling her body in closer to his. For a second he seemed like he would pull away, but she held his neck insistently, pulling his head into a deeper kiss as he stuck his tongue into her mouth.

With her other hand she reached down to unbutton his slacks. His hands moved up from her ass along her sides until they found her breasts, her new beautiful, perky, swollen breasts. God, it was so thrilling to have someone hold you with that lusty feeling, that feeling that they really wanted you. That they couldn’t control themselves.

As she unzipped his pants, he pulled out one of her tits and started to fondle it. Jade had always imagined having boobs big enough for someone to fondle and it felt amazing. She felt her body tense in time with his squeezes. She let out a moan. His fingers played with her hard nipple, circling her areola and making every inch of her body scream for more.

She reached into his underwear and grabbed his dick. It was THICK. It took work to get it out of his tight pants, but once it was out it stood rock hard at attention. Jade was about to lower her own panties when-

WHEE WHOO WHEE WHOO

The cops showing up was like a bucket of cold water to the face. The bright lights and sirens pulled Jade out of her horny drunken stupor. These army boys would get off with a slap on the wrist but she was a local, she should know better, her uncle was a captain with the police! She couldn't be found here! Much less looking like this.

As much as she hated to do it, she dropped the dick and ran out the back door and into the night.
