magically managing to keep my awkwardness at bay.  I watch him as he walks around and sits behind the expansive desk.
    “I feel like I was just sent to the principal’s office,” I comment.
    “I get that a lot,” he says with a twinkle.  “I certainly don’t mean anything by it.  But if you feel like wearing a school uniform, I think you’ll find it appreciated here.”  He leaves the conversation open for me to begin.
    “So this is the clubhouse?”
    “This is a bar the Club owns.  It finances our parties.  We don’t have a clubhouse per se, though folks tend to hang out at my house a lot.  If you’re wondering where we do our pinky crosses I’m afraid we aren’t that kind of club.  We’re a group of people, like anyone else, who we trust and enjoy being around.”
    I grasp his meaning from the things Patty had told me; guys wearing diapers.  And he’s right about that, you can’t just trust anyone with your sexual secrets.  “So you trust me to join because Patty says I’m okay?”
    He leans forward in his chair and takes a long sip of bourbon, “Patty said that you need us.”
    I grimace at the reality of the situation.  “Okay,” I fidget nervously with my hands, “Tell me all about the Tramp Stamp Club?”  I’m trying to sound much stronger than I feel for the sake of my last sliver of pride.
    He’d expected the question, I can see it in his smile as he begins, “The Tramp Stamp Club started many years ago as the women’s portion of a local men’s association,” he chuckles at some long ago memory.  “What we’re going to do is a series of sessions where you’ll learn to enjoy yourself again.  We’ll be guarding your privacy carefully during this time, in case you decide it isn’t for you.  You’ll learn things as we go along, things that’ll give you insight into who you are and what you can be.  At times we’re going to be tough on you; other times we’ll cherish you in ways that you’ve never dreamed of.  One thing you can be sure of, both come from love.”
    “It sounds wonderful.”  But I’m thinking he could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo with those eyes.
    “I like to think of it as a beautiful transformation, and I’m lucky to have a front row seat.  But we must think of your husband as well.  Are you still in love with him, Tara?”
    I’m all too sure of my answer, “Yes, I’m very much in love with my husband.”
    Jonathon smiles brightly, “Wonderful!  Well I have to tell you that’s a brilliant head start; most women have to take a minute to consider that.  Yet you’ve aimlessly wandered around your marriage for many years without any resolution?  It never ceases to amaze me that two people who love one another can just lose track of each other so easily.”  He sits his glass back onto the desk, “So our job here is to break down the barriers that’ve kept you two from expressing that love.  Unfortunately, we have to break you first.”
    “Break me?” I stutter on that last sentence and prepare to defend myself.  Vagina has assumed her ‘cujo’ stance.’
    But Jonathon laughs, “Easy now my precious filly, no one in our Club will ever hurt you.  On the contrary, by the end of your training you’ll rule my every thought.  I’ll dream of you day and night, and plead with you to allow me to be in your presence.  I’m afraid it’s a drawback of my job here; absolute heartbreak with every trainee.  But trust me that your husband will step in my path and he’ll feel the exact same way, and it’s his place beside you, not mine.”
    “Forgive me for saying so but I seriously doubt that.  I’m fairly sure I’ll be just as alone at the end as I am now.”
    “Aww, precious Tara, are you so convinced of that you won’t give us a shot at helping?”
    “No, not really.  Patty seems pretty pleased with the results, and I’ve known Steve a long time.  He’s not one easily convinced.”
    “But you believe your husband isn’t
