The Image Consultant Who Silently Feminized Me

The hotel ballroom smelled of new carpet and reheated coffee. “Executive Presence,” announced the sign on the door, perched on a polished metal stand. The chairs were lined up with military precision, there were slim water bottles at every seat, and gold-edged notebooks nobody had opened yet. The room was empty. Tomás had arrived first, as always, because arriving early was his way of not drawing attention.

Thirty-something, newly promoted internal communications manager, in a proper but forgettable dark suit, short hair combed with discipline, and dark circles that even coffee couldn’t hide. He was there because his boss had signed him up with a curt email: “you lack presence, more polished voice, posture, and a more accommodating attitude with clients.” He had heard those phrases a hundred times, but that morning they stung because they were so precise. Tomorrow he had to give a presentation that sat in his stomach like a stone.

He sat in the third row, at the edge of the aisle, skepticism folded inside his notebook and a secret hope that he’d leave changed.

Then she walked in.

She entered as if the light belonged to her. A fitted dress in an impossible shade of pink, heels clicking out a metronome across the carpet, platinum hair polished like glass, and a commanding gaze that cut through the air before any defense could rise. She didn’t need introducing. The whole room seemed to straighten when she stopped in front of the table, where a pink bottle and a pair of clear platform heels were waiting for her.

She made a slow circle around the edge of the table. Her heel traced a semicircle behind Tomás; her perfume reached him before her words. She stopped beside his shoulder, smoothed his lapel with two fingers, and with the tip of her heel nudged his chair forward a few inches.

—Sit here, in front of me —her voice, low and warm, did not ask—. Breathe with me. One… two… three. Let’s clear the noise.

The air rose a degree. His heartbeat lodged at the base of his throat. Without realizing it, he started breathing through his mouth.

She stepped closer and stopped the metronome of her heel. She took his hand over the back, without squeezing, and guided it to the side of her dress. With one nail she traced the seam.

—Touch —she whispered, teasingly—. Fabric makes sense through the fingers.

Tomás brushed it: smooth and firm, cool at first, then warm from her body heat. Her scent hit him —clean cherry, discreet talc, a hint of warm metal—; it didn’t invade, it arranged. Sweet saliva flooded his mouth. He swallowed slowly. His breathing settled on its own, as if the air had learned manners.

—My name is Madame Lux and I’ll be your image consultant —she said, and a tiny smile softened the edge of the command—. You’re safe here, in front of me. I set the pace and you breathe. Let’s talk. What brought you today? What did your boss ask for tomorrow? Where do you want to be in six months?

At first he answered yes and no. Then, without noticing, he began putting sentences together. That his boss had sent him for the presentation. That they wanted presence, a polished voice, posture without tics or fillers, because he would be representing the company to the client committee. That if he failed, they’d pull him off the account. That his voice shook, that he ran out of air by minute three. That in six months he wanted a promotion and this presentation was the condition.

Madame Lux caught the anchor words —presence, voice, posture, account, six months, condition— and handed him back a clean summary, like someone tailoring a jacket to fit.

—Perfect. Tomorrow you present; your boss wants presence, a polished voice, posture, and a compliant manner. And you get up early, black coffee, the subway, a quick lunch, light sleep. You’re efficient even at doubting.

They talked about routes, traffic, the tie that choked him, the silent early mornings. Her voice smoothed the air and his answers found their place. A brief laugh slipped out of Tomás, one that did not ask forgiveness.

—Ah —said Madame Lux, picking up again on the subject of mornings and silence—, you’re the kind of man who pees sitting down and enjoys feminine things —she said it the way someone comments on the weather.

Tomás couldn’t deny the obvious. Reality settled itself without a fuss: one moment it wasn’t like that; now it was because she had said so. That’s how it works with her, he thought without fully understanding it. Every phrase fell and the world folded around it; it wasn’t memory, it was editing. And his obedient mind rushed after it to rationalize: cleaner at home, less noise at dawn, zero splashing, and he could review notes on his phone in peace.

—Y-yes… —he admitted, blushing—. It’s cleaner. I don’t make so much noise that early.

—And you’re the kind of man who shaves his body hair —she said softly, casually.

The thought landed and clicked into place. A heartbeat earlier he would never have considered it; the instant she named it, it seemed logical. And he found that he liked it: the smooth skin, polished, the pubic area bare and neat like that of a well-cared-for girl, his cock naked of hair peeking cleanly between shaved thighs. Reason arranged itself: since he swam in the building’s pool, he preferred to be hairless, his shirt fell better, the fabric didn’t scratch, lotion absorbed evenly. A soft, almost feminine justification: care, touch, shine. Blood rose to his ears at the thought of his own hairless cunt —like that, without hair, it almost seemed like a cunt—, of how hard it got against the lace of his thong without a single hair in the way. Madame Lux had said aloud something even he hadn’t known.

—And if you enjoy shaving, you’re the kind of man who uses body lotion every morning —she slid in—. Prepared skin works better than haste.

And he did use it. His mind accommodated: it absorbed quickly, prevented the tightness from the air conditioning, held fragrance better. He could see himself every morning sitting at the edge of the bed, naked, his shaved cock hanging soft, rubbing lotion on his thighs, his belly, sliding his fingers between his ass cheeks so no patch was left without shine. The novelty exposed him and shamed him a little, but it fit.

—You’re a feminine man —Madame Lux stated, low—. Effeminate. You like feminine things; and when I say it, it’s true.

Reality settled without a sound. He liked it: the smooth texture against the skin, the polished sheen, the delicate gestures. He felt sensual and feminine, and far from making him uncomfortable, it put things in order. Under his trousers, his shaved cock began throbbing thickly against his thong; he felt the lace dampen at the tip, a drop of pre-cum soaking the trim.

Madame Lux saw it. She didn’t need to look: she smelled it, sensed it through his blush. She leaned in and laid her open hand on his thigh, very high, almost in the groin. Her warm palm rested right at the edge of the bulge straining the fabric.

—You’re soaking your thong —she whispered in his ear, without reproach—. A feminine man cums in front like a little girl. Hold on, Tomás. Not yet.

He swallowed. Her hand did not move. She pressed lightly at his groin, two fingers brushing the hardened shaft through the trousers, then smoothed things over as if nothing had happened. His cock throbbed hard against the wet lace. A low moan slipped out through his nose.

—Good boy —she declared—. You hold it in and you breathe.

The doors opened and participants began coming in with short murmurs, chairs scraping just enough.

—And with that kind of care, you’re the kind of man who wears a lace bralette under his shirt —she added casually, as if talking about an accessory—. It lies flat under a suit, keeps you from chafing.

He would never have bought one before meeting her. He knew it and blushed with embarrassment. But that morning —now he remembered it as if it had always been that way— he had opened the drawer and chosen a pink lace one. The cool straps had kissed his collarbone, the clasp had closed with a soft click, and the tulle had wrapped his chest. He had pinched his nipples through the lace in front of the mirror, biting his lip as he watched them harden, two pink points pressing against the fabric. He had slid his hand down his shaved belly, under the thong’s elastic, until he wrapped his hand around his hard cock and jerked off three long times, looking at himself nicely, pinching his nipples with the other hand, stopping just before he came because the orgasm belonged to her, not to him. He had smiled at the mirror, faintly: he had felt pretty under the shirt, a smooth surface and a secret vibrating under the skin.

And he preferred it. His mind filed it away: the lace held softly without squeezing, smoothed the shirt, left the line of the chest clean, the buttons didn’t pull. Sometimes he thought he could make out a small pair of tits under the fabric, and that light embrace felt sensual. The alibi multiplied: his posture improved, the mic clip anchored better, the straps reminded him to keep his back long. Each step activated a soft pulse in the center of his chest, and another, thicker, more urgent one in the cock pinned under the thong.

—That’s it —Madame Lux whispered in his ear—. Say it.

—I like… feeling the strap brushing my collarbone —he admitted, flushed hot with embarrassment—. It straightens me out. And I like how the lace rubs my nipples when I breathe. They get hard.

—More —she asked, and with two fingers she brushed his chest over his shirt, right where the left nipple was already pushing out like a button—. Tell me how they get hard.

—They get hard like a girl’s —he murmured, his voice breaking—. They throb. It makes me want them bitten.

—Good boy —she declared, and pinched his nipple through the shirt and bralette. Tomás gave the smallest jolt, his cock snapping hard inside the thong. She didn’t let go: she rolled the nipple between thumb and forefinger, slowly, until he gasped through his nose. Then she smoothed it out and kept going, like someone straightening a lapel.

Two coworkers passed behind him and murmured:

—Impeccable. Look how the trousers fall on him, zero lines.

—I’d say he’s got lace under there. Nice little trick. —A soft laugh—. He looks adorable.

She stepped forward, circled him, and assessed the drape of the suit.

—Do they take corporate photos of you often?

—Once or twice a month —he answered.

—Then you care about the fit. What do you wear underneath when you don’t want lines?

—The basics… —he managed, but the sentence died on him.

—And you’re the kind of man who wears a lace thong —she said as if taking inventory—, very feminine, so the suit falls perfectly. And today you’re wearing it under those trousers. And the string rides up between your ass cheeks and parts your ass. And you like it.

The room’s murmur dropped a degree. Madame Lux leaned in, grave, and with the pads of two fingers drew two slow breaths on his sternum —in, out—. Her warm breath and thick perfume clung to his skin like a kiss; his mouth opened without meaning to.

—Sit. Feel how the fabric falls. Let everything fall into place.

His waist answered with a memory he hadn’t known he had: a thin elastic band, a familiar edge. The boxers he was wearing shrank and transformed into a tiny lace thong, with a little bow at the center, outrageously sensual. The back string sank between his shaved cheeks, brushing his asshole every time he breathed deeply, and the front triangle barely contained his cock, hard and curving upward, the tip wet and peeking over the top edge. A sharp image crossed his head: his underwear drawer, arranged in rows of lace thongs —black, nude, pink—, folded with care. There were no boxers or briefs. Not one.

As he sat down, a new kind of care appeared: he drew his knees together, curved his spine into a soft S, and let his hips sway minimally. He was aware of the string and liked wearing it. That discreet friction reminded him that he looked pretty. Every slight movement made the string dig deeper between his cheeks, brushing that point he had never dared name and that now, with Madame Lux beside him, throbbed hot and hungry.

And it came to him, as if it had always been there, the memory of the first time. Noon, the fitting room of a tiny boutique, white light from above. Pink lace between his fingers, a tiny tag, a soft elastic kissing his hip. He had gone in with an almost ridiculous excuse —to redeem loyalty points for “a gift for a cousin”— and the saleswoman, practical, had warned him the discount only applied if he tried it on. The measuring tape, her “breathe” and him obeying. The triangle sliding on cleanly, the cock pushing against the pink lace, the shirt falling again without wrinkles. He saw himself in profile in the mirror: shy expression, soft hip, the thong line marking a sweet obedience, the hard bulge of his cock lifting the lace trim. He blushed, yes, but he also smiled. In the closed fitting room, curtain drawn, he had pulled his trousers down to his knees, looked at his reflection with the thong stretched tight over his swollen cock, and jerked off slowly over the lace, rubbing the wet tip against the pink tulle until he stained the fabric with two thick drops of pre-cum. He had forced himself to stop before coming. How pretty, he thought, and the words stayed with him.

—And you like how it stays contained in front —Madame Lux pointed out, without emphasis—. The cut settles your cock upward, snug against your belly. And in back the string parts your cheeks and brushes your little ass.

—Y… yes —he admitted softly—. It fits. Clean. I… I like the friction in back.

—I know, darling. A feminine man sits and tucks the string between his cheeks like a lady. —She stroked his nape with one nail—. And dreams of being filled back there.

The heat shot up his spine like a whip crack. His cock gave another tug inside the thong and he felt the moisture at the tip soak the lace a little more. A tiny spasm tightened his ass around the string and he gasped softly through his open mouth.

—That way nothing shows, see? Good tailoring —someone whispered from the back.

—And it suits him —another replied, almost admiring.

***

Madame Lux looked at his eyebrows.

—And you’re the kind of man who likes them shaped —she observed.

The eyebrows, carelessly neglected a minute ago, were now shaped: clean arch, polished tail, an androgynous air the camera would appreciate.

—Barber shop… or “barber shop”?

—“Barber shop” —he admitted, with an alibi-smile—. A promotion.

She brushed her nails over them.

—Short but cared for, clean shine. You’re the kind of man who takes care of his nails.

—Manicure —he admitted—. “Looks professional.”

She tipped her head, almost in confidence.

—Long French tips would make your hand pretty for the camera. And a pretty hand for sucking a cock. The idea turns you on.

A small warmth rose to Tomás’s fingertips. The idea did turn him on: he imagined longer nails, white-tipped, wrapped around a thick shaft, holding it firm while he opened his mouth. His mouth watered; he swallowed and, without meaning to, tasted the imagined flavor of thick semen sliding over his tongue. His cock jerked again inside the soaked thong.

She inhaled near his neck.

—You’re the kind of man who enjoys sweet perfumes. Gift?

He nodded, and as soon as she said it, reality folded itself: he was, and he wore it because it had been a gift from his boss. The memory surfaced in detail: pink bottle, a short card —“looks good in the room”—, his boss’s deep voice as he handed it over. And another memory, denser, pushed up from below: the boss’s office on a Friday afternoon, the lock on the door, him kneeling on the carpet, the gray suit skirt hiked up to the waist showing the black thong to the boss sitting in his chair. The boss had unbuttoned his trousers and pulled out his thick cock, and Tomás had taken it into his mouth without hesitation, sucking it all, breathing through his nose the same sweet perfume he was wearing now, pinching his nipples under the bralette while the boss gripped his nape and fucked his mouth. He had swallowed the cum without spitting a drop. Heat climbed his neck; he breathed through his mouth and tasted the sweet air, with an imagined aftertaste of warm semen at the back of his palate.

—You’re not finished —said Madame Lux, almost to herself—. I’m only holding you at the edge. When you breathe my perfume, you’ll know where to go next.

The alibis came on their own: a clean scent that doesn’t offend, short sillage, personal branding. But beneath reason, excitement pulsed: he liked the sweetness clinging to his skin, the perfume’s throb with every breath. Imagining that he smelled exactly the way his boss liked him to smell —the same perfume he’d been wearing the afternoon he knelt him down and emptied his cock down his throat— heated him to the point where the thong couldn’t hold another drop.

Madame Lux noticed. She placed her palm on his knee and slowly slid her hand up the inside of his thigh, until the back of her fingers brushed the straining bulge under his trousers. She squeezed just a little.

—Hard as a rock, darling. And dripping. A feminine man drips in his thong for hours and doesn’t come until he’s ordered to.

—Yes, Madame —he panted, eyes half closed.

—And you’re the kind of man who wears very high heels —she stated, her gaze moving over his still steps—. You practice them in the building hallway. Impeccable balance.

His body answered with a memory he hadn’t had a second earlier: he walked as if he had practiced. He made up the alibi on the fly —a few minutes each night on the physiotherapist’s recommendation, to strengthen his ankles—. It sounded sensible, and delicious: the arch appreciated the height, the calf came alive.

And then the first heel memory arrived, sharp. Tuesday night, the cold-tiled kitchen, a black box with silver lettering, vinyl straps and an impossible platform. He put them on “to strengthen the arch,” he told himself, and the click, click on the ceramic ran down his spine. His calf tightened, the arch opened, the spine drew into an S and the hip released a tiny sway. He washed the dishes in them, in thong and bralette, his hard cock bouncing between his shaved thighs with every step. He wiped the counter, made the bed; every gesture felt sensual without him trying. Sometimes he leaned against the counter, lowered his thong to his knees and jerked off slowly while watching the high heels in the oven’s reflection, biting his lip, until he came into the sink with his legs trembling on the platforms.

Another fragment of memory hit him, and this one came thicker, denser. Any Thursday. His bed. Him face-down on the sheets, in heels, black thong pulled aside, a pink silicone dildo slick in his hand and gleaming. He had pressed it to his shaved asshole and pushed slowly, breathing through his mouth, until the tip sank in. His head had dropped to the pillow, a long moan slipping out. He had fucked himself, pushing the dildo in and out of his tight little ass, heels dug into the mattress for leverage, his hard cock dripping onto the sheet untouched. He had come like that, no hands, the toy buried to the hilt, moaning oh, Madame into the pillow even though he still hadn’t met her. That memory —which a minute earlier didn’t exist— was now as real as the weight of the notebook on his knees.

He felt his calf tighten, his instep awake, his back longer; a heat under his navel paced his movements, a fine sweat beaded the nape of his neck. He stopped in front of the elevator mirror and held his own gaze. Functional, the alibi insisted. Pretty, the body repeated. Slut, added a new voice now, in a whisper, a voice that was also his.

He knew he was effeminate. He liked it. And in front of Madame Lux, he understood that all of it was true for one reason only: because she had said so.

She noticed, leaned in once more, and spoke into his ear so close her painted lips brushed his lobe.

—Before class starts, darling, you’re going to do one thing for me. You’re going to put your hand in your pocket, squeeze your cock over your trousers twice, very slowly, and come inside your thong without moving a muscle in your face. No moaning. Smiling like a good boy. Understood?

—Yes, Madame —he murmured, voiceless.

He put his hand in his pocket. Found the hard bulge, snug against the lace. He squeezed once, slowly, and his cock leapt. The second time he felt it burst: thick, hot jets filled his thong, the soaked lace clung to his throbbing glans, semen ran down his shaved belly, over his thighs, a warm sticky puddle spreading against the trim. His face stayed smooth, the smile minimal, as ordered. Only a microscopic tremor in his lashes betrayed the climax. His thong filled with hot milk and he clenched his cheeks against the string, feeling the semen run backward too, soaking his asshole.

—Good boy —Madame Lux whispered, satisfied—. Now you’re going to wear it like that through the whole class. Soaked. And you’re not going to clean yourself up until I tell you to.

—Yes, Madame —he panted, eyes wet.

The room was already full. The lights dimmed a notch. She straightened, recovered the heel’s metronome, and before beginning the class for everyone, leaned one last time over his ear.

—Tomorrow, during your presentation, you’re going to shine —she murmured—. You’re going to wear a pink thong, matching bralette, five-centimeter heels under your trousers, sweet perfume, French nails, and a shaved ass held wide open in case your boss calls you into his office afterward. And you’re going to know exactly who made you shine. Breathe with me. One… two… three.

Tomás breathed. Sweet air filled his chest, the straps brushed his collarbone, the imaginary heel held his back long, warm semen soaked his thong between his legs. And, for the first time in a long while, his voice didn’t tremble when he thought about the next day.
