The Trans Ultra Collection Vol 2

by Ursula Lovelace

  I had accepted I would never be famous actor. People didn’t turn on the television or go to the movies to see a scrawny guy like me. I was lucky to get whatever little work I got.

  However, that didn’t mean I couldn’t be a great actress. Casey Holloway knew how to turn heads. She sparked envy in the hearts of other women.

  I wondered if I could continue being Ms. Holloway after the audition for ‘Winter Rain.’ I could audition for other, smaller roles as her. I could make a bit of money with the attention she was attracting. It definitely beat being a starving artist.

  Regardless, I was here to see Gerald Blanc. As a man, I was out of his league. As an unknown actress, I was just what he was looking for when it came to the character of Sarah. The man loved molding young and raw talent. Even if he didn’t accept me, I could still meet him. It would make the whole charade worthwhile.

  I had given him the perfect bait. Casey Holloway was a young actress with unbridled talent. I knew the man would be involved in the casting session for the character of Sarah. I just had to make it through the audition without them finding out the truth about me.

  It would be easier said than done. Gerald had an eye for detail. You got that from making a dozen different award winning films. My disguise had held up to close scrutiny. This award winning director would put me to the test.

  The man was a perfectionist and went through every part of the production with fine-toothed comb. He wasn’t afraid to recast a famous actress in the middle of principal photography if she didn’t live up to his standards. He also wasn’t afraid to scrutinize every aspect of an actress’s acting ability during casting. It was supposed to be a thorough and exhaustive process. I had to make sure my backstory was up to snuff.

  “You think Gerald is really here?” gossiped one of the actresses. “I didn’t think he would come to see actresses like us.”

  “He’s very hands-on with casting,” replied another actress. “My uncle works at the production company and he told me that the executives want him to choose an actress or they’ll choose one for him. They’re tired of the production being delayed.”

  “It’ll probably be some big shot actress if Gerald doesn’t get his say,” she sighed. “I guess he’ll have to make his decision quick.”

  That was quite a bit of interesting information. I knew Gerald was under pressure to choose but this sounded serious. He would have to make his decision and fast. The man had clout but he couldn’t shut down an entire production just to get his way.

  Typically, he had a lot of creative control over his films. It helped that he had sterling record with plenty of hits. Then again, choosing a newbie actress ran the risk of tanking the box office appeal.

  It didn’t help that Gerald could be difficult to work with. If he wasn’t arguing with actors about their performance, then he was having a shouting match with management. No one could deny his talent while still chaffing under his criticism. It was what made his films so good.

  And his productions such a nightmare.

  One of casting staff called out one of the actresses names. She shut down her phone and raced over to the auditioning room. She was tall, blonde, and beautiful. The young woman had that superstar look. Even with my new look, I came off more as the pretty girl next door rather than as the Hollywood diva.

  Of course, Gerald was looking for a more humble woman for the role. The man had an uncompromising vision for his movie. If he wanted an unknown, then he would choose an unknown.

  Sarah, the lead role, would require an unpretentious woman. I had memorized the demo script and scrounged up every other detail of the character. She was definitely no femme fatale or seductress. She reminded me of my new persona as Casey Holloway. She was shy and reserved without being frail or wimpy.

  I didn’t know why I was working so hard to win the part. I just wanted to meet Gerald, pay my respects, and leave. There was no way I could continue cross-dressing while filming a movie. It was patently ludicrous.

  Nevertheless, this was the most important role I had ever auditioned for. As an actor, I owed it to myself to do my best. If nothing else, it would seem suspicious if Ms. Holloway didn’t seem too interested in the role. I needed to stay in character for the length of the audition.

  “Excuse me,” a man said to me. I looked up to see a member of the casting staff. He seemed important enough from the way the other actresses. “Are you Casey Holloway?”

  I felt a shiver down my spine. I hid my alarm as best as I could as I spoke in my new voice. “I am…”

  The man was stone-faced as he commanded me. “Please follow me.”

  Had I had been found out?

  Were they going to kick me out?

  Or would they go straight to the cops?

  I had no choice but to do as I was ordered. All the other actresses watched me as I followed the man through the building. All of them believed I was on a fast track to an audition. However, I didn’t know what the man wanted and I was afraid to ask.

  Maybe there was a mix-up with my application and they wanted me to clarify a few things. Or maybe he had found out the truth. He could be trying to get me out of here without embarrassing me. It was much better than being unmasked in front of everyone.

  I followed him up an elevator. We weren’t heading outside from the looks of it. Still, I didn’t want to open my mouth and ask where he was taking me. The man flashed his badge a few times and got past a few security checks.

  Whoever he was, the man was in a hurry. He wanted us to reach our destination as soon as possible. I just didn’t know what fate he had planned for me. Finally, we arrived at the door of a luxurious looking room.

  He opened the door and revealed a handsome dark-haired man sitting in a chair before a desk. This man looked to be in his mid-thirties with his temples greying. He wore a simple black, turtleneck sweater and a pair of dark slacks. The man craned over what looked like a script. His intelligent, sky blue eyes scanned over the piece of paper.

  I knew who this man was.

  It was Gerald Blanc.

  Chapter 5

  “Thank you, Jacob,” Gerald said, not bothering to look up at us. “That’ll do for now. Leave our guest here for now.”

  Jacob nodded. “Yes sir. Will there be anything else?”

  The director chuckled. “Tell those mud-witted producers that I get the final say on Sarah’s actress. I’m making a work of art, not a popcorn film.”

  The man smiled and left us. “With pleasure, sir.”

  I was alone with Gerald Blanc himself. This room didn’t look like any auditioning room I had ever been in. I didn’t think he suspected that I was actually a man. Otherwise, he would’ve had me in handcuffs.

  Finally, Gerald looked up straight at me and spoke. “Do you know who I am?”

  I cleared my throat and replied. “You’re Gerald Blanc, director of-”

  “I don’t need you to list my IMDB profile,” he interrupted, sounding irritated. “I know what I’m a capable of. I merely need to know what you are capable of, Ms. Holloway.”

  I couldn’t believe that he had bought my disguise. He actually seemed interested in me as actress. However, I needed to take this interview seriously. “Everything about me is in my resume. It isn’t much but I heard you weren’t looking for experience. What caught your eye?”

  He seemed pleased that I was holding my ground rather than recoiling in fear of his reputation. A man of his reputation probably didn’t experience that from his actresses. “I heard of an… unorthodox candidate making the rounds with the casting staff. You might be just what I was looking for.”

  “What makes you think that?” I asked. The fact I wasn’t begging for the role seemed to only entice him further. Then again, I genuinely didn’t want the role. I couldn’t cross-dress the length of a whole film production. “I saw a half-dozen beauty queens waiting for you in the lobby.”

  “Playing hard to get,” he said with a half-smile. “You intrigue me, Casey. I asked for
an unknown but all the girls out in the lobby have connections or rich parents. On the other hand, you barely have any roles or references in your curriculum vitae. You’re the real unknown here. Yet, your demo tape caught my eye.”

  “I’m glad it did,” I said, trying to find the right words. I was finally face to face with my idol. My plan had worked without a hitch. However, I hadn’t exactly planned what to do when I got here. “I always wanted to meet you.”

  “You can do more than meet me,” Gerald said, a bit irritated at my lack of enthusiasm. I guessed he was used to people worshipping the ground he walked on. “You can work for me. You have the opportunity of a lifetime waiting for you, Casey.”

  I couldn’t believe that he was handing me a coveted role on a silver platter. “Your producer won’t mind hiring a no-name? Millions of dollars are on the line.”

  “You sound like an executive,” he chuckled. “I’m here to make a good film. I can do it without you but I’d prefer that you were involved.”

  I thought about it for a moment. “What makes you so interested in me?”

  He folded his arms as his hands scanned my body. If I didn’t know any better, then I would say that he was checking me out. “I want a woman who can act. Not a poser. So will you audition for me or not?”

  I shifted in my heels when I heard him say ‘poser.’ There was no way I would still be here if he didn’t believe I was a woman. Regardless, I didn’t want him to get any more suspicious. “Let’s begin. What do you want me to do?”

  “Excellent,” he replied, pointing to a nearby chair. As a man, I had never seen a director treat me like this during an audition. Most of the time, I was talking to their assistants. This was the biggest audition of my life. “Please stand over there.”

  I followed his instructions to the letter. I wasn’t sure how this would go. Gerald had a reputation for being very taxing on an actor’s psyche. “Okay, what’s next?”

  “Undress,” her commanded. “Down to your undergarments.”

  I stared back at Gerald in disbelief. It almost felt like he had seen through my disguise. Yet, the look on his face told me that this was still an audition. “Are you serious?”

  “I am,” he said plainly. “You’ve piqued my interest but that doesn’t mean you’ve won the role.”

  I wanted to leave right there and then. The man could easily discover that I was a man beneath the clothes and the makeup. I wouldn’t just get in trouble for entering the audition under false pretenses. I’d end up in jail or a psychiatric ward.

  However, the risk of arousing his suspicion was too great. I couldn’t just turn heel and run. “Of course…”

  “Good,” he said imply, sitting down in his chair. “If you can’t undress in front of your director, then you can’t act. I need someone who can push herself to her limits.”

  As precarious as the situation was, his words spoke to me. I was acting on more levels than one. Casey Holloway had a-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with Gerald Blanc. I needed to do my best for this audition. It wasn’t just to avoid Gerald’s suspicion. I needed to do it for myself.

  So I began to strip in front of my idol.

  I tried to treat it like just another audition. I had fully committed to my role as Casey Holloway. While Casey Harris had always been a timid man, she was fearless as they came. My new persona didn’t mind stripping down to my bra and panties in front of a man she barely knew.

  Gerald watched me undress with desire in his eyes. I didn’t know whether he was interested in me as an actress or a woman. His blue eyes drank the sight of me in. As I stripped away my skirt and blouse, I thought about how I had been looked over by so many casting directors as a man. I had never experienced this kind of attention before.

  Finally, I just wore my brassiere and panties. My bra was large enough to hid my gel padding and give me some semblance of a bust. Hopefully, he didn’t ask for me to strip down to nothing.

  When I finished, the look on Gerald’s face changed. His breathing seemed to quicken. His eyes rapidly scanned every inch of me. He leaned forward in his chair.

  Gerald got up and walked up to me. He was so close to me. I could hear his breathing. He put a hand on my fake bust. He then cupped its soft underbelly and gave it a squeeze. They seemed believable enough from the look of desire on his face.

  He put a single finger on my neck. The underbelly of my neck parted as to welcome the intrusion. He slid it down my throat, past the cleft of my fake bust, down my abdomen, and rested it above my pelvis. He lingered just above the waistband of my panties for some time. I felt as though he had blazed a trail down my body.

  He teased me by slipping a finger inside the edge of my panties. Thankfully, he didn’t probe deeper and discover my balls. “So beautiful…”

  My breathing grew ragged as he teased me. I was shaken from how close he was to my cock. If he had felt it, then it didn’t register on his face. The man looked to be utterly in love with me. Hell, I was enjoying this more than I had any right to.

  “Good,” Gerald said, taking his hand out. I finally had a moment to catch my breath. “Now, for the next part. Lie down on the couch.”

  This felt less like an audition and more like a seduction. As strange as it was, I honestly didn’t care. It wasn’t even about the role anymore. This was about staying in Casey Holloway’s character. Casey Harris wanted to run away but the woman in me wanted to stay.

  Hell, I didn’t know if I was even acting. A reckless sense of exhibition overtook me. I did what was asked of me. If he wanted a real woman instead of a poser, then he’d get a real woman.

  Gerald guided me onto the couch and planted a soft kiss on my cheek. He was no longer the strict director. The man looked like he had been consumed by a lust for me. He hugged me and whispered into my ear. “So beautiful…”

  Gerald pulled me towards him and kissed me. I felt his tongue mingle with mine. His lips seemed to suck the very life force out of me. My lips surrendered to his assault. This wasn’t an innocent peck on the lips. This was a kiss you expected between a pair of old lovers. He grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in closer. I didn’t care that I was a man in disguise kissing another man. I enjoyed the sensation of his wet lips on mine.

  I couldn’t convince myself that this was an act. Gerald’s lips were real. His passion was real. This wasn’t practicing for a play. I could feel the heat radiate off of him.

  “So beautiful,” he said, breaking our kiss. I actually felt faint against the intensity of his kiss. “I need you now, Casey.”

  He cupped my ass and let the flesh bubble between his fingers. There was a lightness in my head and a fire in my chest. I could see his cock harden inside his pants. He wasn’t the only one. My shaft threatened to tear a hole through my panties. It was too late to stop now.

  Gerald began undressing in a mad rush to make love to me. Kicking his pants aside, he fully committed his attention to me with a passionate kiss. His long, erect penis brushed against his belly. A thick patch of hair covered the base of his shaft. It was much longer and thicker than mine.

  The director seemed just as lost in the act as I was. Between kisses, he spoke to me in some foreign language. I didn’t understand the words but I felt the passion behind them.

  Suddenly, Gerald flipped me over and took down my panties. I was too shocked to see if my cock had been exposed. The director, however, was busy guiding his cock into my ass.

  I gasped when the head of his prick penetrated me. He stopped for a moment so I could feel the delicious sensation of his cock getting used to my tight rosebud. When I loosened up, Gerald pushed forward and slid into me.

  I grunted in both pain and ecstasy. “Oh God…”

  Gerald began to steadily pump into me. I could feel my cock and balls swing as he fucked me. His powerful strokes sent shockwaves of pleasure throughout my body.

  My cock grew painfully stiff between my legs. There would be no hiding it from Gerald. However, I didn’t care a
t this point. I just wanted the man to fuck me senseless.

  He had gone very deep within in me. I felt novel sensations between my legs. My balls tightened from my impending orgasm. Likewise, Gerald had grown hard as well.

  His thrusts became slow and deliberate. Soon, I took his cock to the hilt. His body brushed against mine with a pleasurable friction. His cock felt unbearably large. I didn’t know how my ass could even take so much of it in.

  From the bliss I felt to the sheer firth of his cock, I was completely overwhelmed. At the same time, I felt as though that Gerald was genuinely making love to me. I would’ve felt a little guilty deceiving him if I wasn’t too busy enjoying this.

  My cock had never been so hard before this moment. I was on my way to an explosive orgasm. Gerald was also on a similar trajectory. He started to moan and his upward thrusts grew more erratic. His nails dug into my soft buttocks. His body was trembling and struggling to steady itself. He closed his eyes and threw his head back.
