Dedication
To my wife Betty, my one true love, and the most wonderful, caring woman
in the
whole wide world. We have been married almost thirty years now and her b
eauty
still inspires me, her gift of compassion astounds me, her innate sense of
what is
right and wrong constantly amazes me and her ability to overlook my failings
is
almost unbelievable. I am forever grateful that she chose me to share the
second
half of her life, though I’ll be damned if I can figure out why. Whatever, I
love and
cherish her and cannot imagine life without her. She is my sweetheart, my
friend,
my lover, my companion, and all too often, my conscience. Every man should be
so lucky.
—Darrell Bain
With special thanks to Pat, my husband and my favorite fan. He kept asking me
if this book was finished yet—so here it is!
—Jeanine Berry

CHAPTER ONE
“Donna wants to have a baby,” Rissa announced.
I smiled, picturing my best friend holding a baby in her arms. “That’
s
wonderful!” I said. Then I remembered Rita, my love, back on Earth. I
had left her
alone and carrying our baby. A wave of intense sorrow engulfed me, but I
managed to keep the smile on my face for Rissa’s sake.
“She says she’s ready for motherhood, or as ready as someone who w
as
born male can ever be.” Rissa smiled and tilted her head to one side, letting
her
long, blonde hair sweep over a bare shoulder.
As usual, I marveled at the complexities the sex gates had brought into
our lives. A hint of the perfume Rissa wore drifted my way on a warm bre
eze. I
eyed her cleavage and asked the obvious question. “Are you planning
to father
this baby?”
“Not in my present condition.” Rissa cupped her hands under her tw
o
lovely breasts, as if I hadn’t noticed them. For our outing, she’d conjured up
a
skimpy halter-top sundress of greens and yellows and blues. Her twin mou
nds
threatened to spill out of the two slashes of fabric that held them in place.
The
soft folds of the dress draped around her curves as if the cloth were alive,
the
luminous colors shifting and merging with every breath she took. As soon
as she
saw she’d grabbed my attention with her breasts, she clutched the hem with her
scarlet nails and hiked it to the top of her slender thighs. She winked
at me as I
eyed this further proof of her femininity. When Russell changed into a w
oman he
turned into flirt.
I coughed to clear my throat. “Nothing wrong with your present condit
ion
that I can see.” My fingers itched to reach over and stroke the warm flesh of
her
thighs. It was a beautiful day in the Nexus, perfect for a tumble on the
grass. My
mood perked up a little at the thought of forgetting my problems between
Rissa’s
Top
Page No 6
thighs. The lewd sparkle in her dark blue eyes told me she was horny. Mo
st
people are after a trip through a gate.
“Do you think I look good as a woman?” That was a silly question,
but like
most women Rissa loved a compliment. She patted her golden curls and arc
hed
her back slightly to display her breasts to greater advantage.
“I think you’re sexy as hell and I’m prepared to prove it.”
I shot a torrid grin
at her and put my arm around her slim waist. Taking the hint, she cuddle
d close.
I’m not a very big man but Rissa still felt small and fragile and ver
y feminine
against me. It was intriguing, since when he was a man he was about my s
ize.
The two of us sat on a round stone, perched on the edge of a cliff. A
towering tree with leaves like the blue-green feathers of a Mallard Duck cast
its
shade over us as we looked down into the valley where a city of living c
rystal
towers held the secrets of the sex gates—and probably many more secrets as
well.
The towers sparkled in the bright sunlight. I could swear I could see so
me
of them growing. They were not straight like buildings made by man, but more
like trees, sprouting out of the ground and branching into the sky. Whenever I
got
fooled by the green grass or blue sky and thought for a moment I was back on
Earth, a glance at the city cured me.
From the distance, it looked enchanting, like Dorothy’s Emerald City in Oz.
But when we were inside those towers Rissa and I struggled with seemingl
y
unending problems. That’s why I liked to leave it behind, wander across the
meadows, and climb the hill to the cliff that overlooked the valley where the
city
sat. Sitting perched on the edge, I found a sense of perspective at last
. Or maybe
what I really found was a false sense of power. Living in the city of the
masters
frightened me at times—looking down on it from the edge of this cliff it
seemed
smaller and I had a momentary illusion of control.
Power is a funny thing. Even when you have it, you can’t always do wh
at
you want to do. And even when you can, it’s not always such a bright idea.
Most
of my life, male or female, I’ve had a habit of acting before I stopp
ed to think it
through. Ever since Messler had left me in charge of the Nexus, I found
myself
Top
Page No 7
thinking a lot, perhaps too much. Having awesome power dumped on your
shoulders will do that to you.
Russell and I faced a momentous choice soon—it was no exaggeration to
say that we held the fate of millions in our hands. I was determined to
think any
proposed plan of action out thoroughly before I made a final decision. Hence
this
trip up the hillside for a heart-to-heart with Russell, who happened to be
female
today.
Then Rissa’s unexpected announcement about Donna had sidetracked
our discussion.
Not that I cared. I welcomed some good news. I had to decide soon what
to do about all the humans who had vanished while going through the sex
gates
on Earth—and who were now held in stasis on this Nexus world—but t
hat
pressing problem could wait while I shared my friend’s pleasure. I couldn’t
help
but notice that the thought of knocking up Donna had gotten her excited. Her
nipples had hardened under the thin fabric of her sundress.
“When do you plan to get Donna pregnant?” I aimed a good-natured leer
in Rissa’s direction.
Rissa shook her head and patted my hand. “We’re still discussing t
hat
question. It’s a big step and I don’t like bringing a baby into a
situation as
unsettled as this one is.”
Her remark sent my thoughts spinning back to Rita. An ache started
somewhere under my chest bone. I won’t be dramatic and claim a broken
heart,
but I didn’t like my forced exile from Rita one bit. I was stuck in
the Nexus and
Rita was on Earth. Unfortunately, because of the way the sex gates opera
te, we
had no other choice. Rita and I both wanted our baby and she couldn’
t use a
gate to come to the Nexus while she was pregnant. Meanwhile, Messler ha
d
dumped the responsibility for watching over the gates on my head and gon
e
merrily off in search of the gate masters. I had to stay in the Nexus to solve
the
problem of those locked in stasis.

I almost laughed at Rissa’s hope for stability. I didn’t expect stability in
my
life anytime soon. The whole world had been in upheaval ever since the d
ay the
sex gates first appeared on Earth.
“You’re right,” I agreed. “It’s not a good situation at the moment.”
Rissa sighed. “Spoken like a rational male. Donna doesn’t agree. S
he
wants a baby now. If I didn’t know better, I’d say her biological clock is
ticking.”
I snorted. The idea of a biological clock was ridiculous for Seconders. We
could go through a gate whenever we wanted, which meant we could change our
sex and become young again whenever the whim struck.
“The number of trips through a gate isn’t infinite,” Rissa said as if reading
my thoughts. She probably was. All Seconders were telepathic to some extent
and I wasn’t making any attempt to shield what I was thinking. “And Donna has
preferred to stay female for the most part.”
That was true. On the day that the gates appeared years ago, Donna had
been Don, my best friend. The four of us—me, Russell, Don and Rita—had been
walking home from our college classes when a gate materialized right in front
of
us. On an impulse, he’d gone through—that was before anyone knew what they
did, of course. I could still remember the shock when he emerged as Donna.
“So you’re saying she’s thinking like a woman about this,” I
ventured.
“Some of the differences between the sexes are real,” Rissa commented.
“I mean besides the obvious ones.” She snickered slightly and glanced down at
her breasts. When you were born a male and still spend most of your time that
way, it’s hard to get over the sight of two huge mounds of soft flesh on your
chest. She cupped them again, making them jiggle, and looked thoughtful.
“Women have a definite nesting instinct. Donna’s has apparently kicked in.”
“But you’d prefer to wait?”
Rissa nodded. “At least until we figure out what to do about these pe
ople
in stasis. That problem could get nasty.”
“So tell her she has to wait.” Rita always accuses me of being naï
ve, if not
downright simpleminded. I guess it’s true. Rissa only laughed at my s
uggestion.
Her eyes sparkled as she poked me in the thigh with one painted fingerna
il.

“I can’t do that, not if I want to be the father. And I do. No offense to
you.”
I frowned. “Why should I be offended.”
“Because you’re her second choice.”
“Hey, wait a minute.” I raised my hands. “I have quite enough g
oing on in
the baby department already.”
Rissa chuckled. “That’s what I figured. Don’t worry. I’ll make the sacrifice
and do the deed.”
We both laughed and sat for a moment in companionable male silence.
Not that I’d forgotten for a moment that Rissa was in a female body.
Russell
seldom stayed female, and I made the most of those occasions when they
happened. The majority of the time, he preferred to be a male, just as D
onna
liked being female. Even in her x-rated female form, most of Rissa’s thinking
remained male. I reached over and patted her on the thigh. That was a mistake.
Her smooth skin was like hot liquid silk under the palm of my hand.
I snatched my hand away. If Rissa and Donna were planning on a baby, I
needed to back off and allow them to bond as a couple. The ache beneath
my
chest bone started up again. It was lonely on the Nexus world without Rita. I
needed both of my friends, needed the warm comfort of their bodies too.
My face always shows my feelings. Or maybe I was radiating them like a
dark cloud. Rissa aimed a bright smile my way. “Why so glum?”
“Just doing some thinking, as usual,” I lied.
She grabbed one of my hands in both of her small ones and squeezed.
“Thinking shouldn’t make you sad. For the look on your face, I’
d say you were
debating with yourself over whether or not to jump off a cliff.”
She sent a mental image into my mind. I saw myself, all long limbs and
disheveled reddish brown hair, plunging over a rocky prominence and falling,
falling down toward jagged rocks below. I shivered and pulled her closer
. She
