Deshawn Fills In at Wedding The New World of SwapTech chapter 3 by bodyswapbabe

Deshawn Price shifted his overnight bag onto the scanner belt and gave the SwapPort attendant his warmest smile. The guy didn’t even look up from his screen. Typical. Traveling in 2057 might be fast, but it sure as hell wasn’t friendly.

Still, Deshawn kept his mood buoyant. That was his thing—cheerful, smooth-voiced, always ready with a compliment or joke. It came with the job. As a regional rep for NuDent™ dental tech, he crisscrossed the country wooing clinics with his charm and full smile. Clients loved him. Unfortunately, romantic partners… not so much.

“Guess I’m everybody’s favorite work husband,” he muttered under his breath as he stepped into the SwapPort chamber. The lights flickered on, casting his reflection across the curved glass wall—tall, mocha-skinned, lean with a tidy goatee and soft brown eyes that always looked a little too earnest. Always trying.

The pod’s biometric systems hummed, scanning his vitals, preparing to beam him 1,200 miles south into a waiting synthetic at a Georgia SwapHub. Just a few hours’ travel in the blink of a neuron. He adjusted his earpiece as it rang. Tanesha. Right on cue.

“Hey, big bro!” his sister chirped. Her voice crackled with pre-wedding chaos. “You checked in yet?”

“Just about to port. You nervous?”

“No, but you’re about to be.” She laughed, then rushed out the words: “So… I lost a bridesmaid.”

“Uh-oh.”

“Relax. Her body’s still at the swap center. She bailed last minute, but the dress is fitted and everything’s prepped. We just need someone to, y’know… be her.”

Deshawn paused, one eyebrow rising. “You want me to be one of your bridesmaids?”

“I was trying to find a way to include you in the wedding party anyway. And you always said you’d do anything for me. This is literally the easiest ‘anything’ ever. I already cleared it with Swaptyx. It’ll be fun! You love people. And you’ll get to finally meet all my friends... in a very intimate way.”

Deshawn sighed. “Which one am I supposed to be?”

“Well…” Tanesha hesitated.
