A Grudge Concerning Hobbits

Mark took Sadie back to his suite, finding an ASTRID cleaning up. The ASTRID bowed and left wordlessly. Sadie asked, “What happened here?”

“Allie, got infected with Mad Cow-Girl. She’s cured now, thanks to Laura negotiating with Chloe to let me copy her favors; that was also how I got answers to what happened between you two. So what exactly did you want to do?”

Sadie slipped out of her dress and floated backwards towards the bed, inviting Mark to join her. Mark followed suit, taking off his clothes, and he sat on the edge of the bed next to the hovering Sadie. Sadie kissed him and kept kissing him as she gently pushed him onto his back. Damn. She’s getting good at this. Mark held her face as they continued to make out until she reached up and took his hand and slid it down to her breasts. Mark found the sight a little strange with her floating above him. Her breasts were small, though he found her nipples erect. As he massaged her nipples with his thumb, she lightly bit his lip.

Sadie floated down and lay on top of him, resting her head on his chest. Mark saw Sadie smiling. “I take it you enjoyed that.” He asked.

“Yeah, I’m not done yet, I’m just assessing things.”

“Did you beat anyone out?”

“Yeah, I did. Not sure who, but I beat out three of them. The thing is, I’ve felt it fluctuating before. I think it’s more complicated than I first thought. I can definitely tell how many have done better than my best, but I think it keeps track of every act. So, even if I can’t top someone else’s best for some reason, I think if I beat out most of their acts, it won’t be so overwhelming.”

“You’re not just checking things off, are you?” Mark asked a little skeptically.

“No, I’m not. If I were, I would just have sex with you already. The thought is tempting, but I’m still somewhat upset with you, so that isn’t happening. I was hoping we could both give each other oral, though… I’ll admit that is at least partially because you’ve both given and received oral from nearly everyone. Mark, please don’t judge me for wanting this. My TF makes me desire it. I can’t control that anymore.”

“You’re right. I’m sorry if I sounded defensive.”

“No, I get it. You don’t just want to be used.” Mark raised an eyebrow. “What? I mean, I’m right, aren’t I?”

“Just? That would imply that I do want to be used.”

“Sooooo… you don’t want me to use this?” Sadie gripped Mark’s penis. Sadie was pleased by Mark’s reaction beneath her. “That’s what I thought. Now, shall we?”

“Wait a second.”

Sadie pouted. She bent at the waist, placing her hands on either side of Mark. “Seriously? Mark, I know you find me attractive. What’s your problem?”

“I need to check something, if I’m going to be eating you out.” Mark pulled out his phone.

“Check what?”

“Your TFs. I’ll get a copy of one of them. I managed to get Flora’s unnoticeability, so I’m not giving that up. Eating you out is a tactical decision that affects the team. Last thing we need is Cassandra giving me your Fairy Lust TF, because I took too long to pick a TF.” Mark started looking at her TFs. “Hmmm.” Mark shot a message to Cassandra, who appeared a moment later.

“Yes, Mark?” Cassandra said.

“So, like for all her TFs except for Fairy Lust, I can’t figure out how they would work exactly for me. Like for the flight, what happy thoughts would I have to think of? Same question, really, with Happy Little Thoughts.”

“Well, it’ll be different for each TF obviously, but typically it will flip things if it references you. Either towards any of your women, or the specific woman you copied it from.”

“What if I copied Grudge Match? Actually speaking of that, shouldn’t you have given Sadie her reward for winning? Both the BP and the hint?”

“The BP and the Hint will be given out when I feel it is appropriate. Specifically, I intend to give it to Sadie at the halfway point of the challenge. As for Grudge Match… Hmmm… I’m going to have to put some limits and caveats on it if you do copy it. Specifically, which of your TFs you can give away. I might step in more later if it becomes an issue. Enjoy the sex.” With that, Cassandra vanished.

Mark looked back at Sadie and found her pink from embarrassment. “You okay?”

“I’m… I’m still not used to being naked in front of other people.”

“You do realize everything we do together is going to be live-streamed to the audience, right?”

“It’s not the same.”

“If you say so. Shall we do this?”

Sadie’s wings fluttered in excitement. “Yeah… did you decide which TF you’re copying?”

“You’ll find out when we’re done.” Mark lifted Sadie straight up and spun her around effortlessly.

“WHOA! Holy cow, you’re strong!”

“The benefits of being a dragon and one of Laura’s TFs.” Mark reached up to take off Sadie’s panties, but found she wasn’t wearing any. Sadie started to massage his dick with her hand. “Commando Sadie?”

“Ask later.” Sadie wasted no time lowering herself onto Mark, both shoving her crotch into his face as she took his dick into her mouth.

Mark didn’t need clearer directions. He was surprised to find her crotch literally dripping from being so wet. What the hell? Mark licked at her, and when he slipped his tongue inside, it met no resistance. Seriously, what the heck? OH GOD, she’s gotten better at that. Fuck! Mark found it took no time at all for Sadie to get him climax in her mouth. “Good lord, Sadie! That was great.”

Sadie just turned around and smirked. Mark saw her swallow his load, and she said. “Quit gabbing. I’m nowhere near satisfied. I was told you don’t leave a woman wanting.” Sadie went down on Mark again, taking it in further than before.

Not wanting to leave her frustrated, Mark continued to pleasure her. He was having some problems staying focused. As Sadie seemed to be improving her technique in real time. By the time Mark brought her to climax, she had his entire dick down to the base in her mouth and just kept swirling her tongue around it. As she climaxed, he felt her throat constrict around his dick bring him to yet another orgasm.

+3 VP Cunnilingus by the Master
+1 VP Deepthroat

Sadie got off of Mark and lay down next to him. “I don’t know if I should be annoyed or glad you have such… stamina.”

“Sorry, I only got you off once.”

“Oh, honey. I got off a lot more than once. I’m just better at hiding it than you are. I will say that after the tenth orgasm, it did get rather hard to continue blowing you while orgasming.”

“I hereby retract my apology and wish to file a complaint.”

“All complaints must be sent in writing to my personal assistant, so that they can be properly vetted and then shredded as is only proper.”

“Okay, so, commando?”

“You might have noticed that I was rather wet, right?”

“I did find that odd, yes.”

“I’ve been super horny for days, and the only release I’ve had was two nights ago, since the last time we did stuff together.”

“What did you do two nights ago?”

“Mostly just watch Laura and Talia. I masturbated at the same time. It helped a little with the lust, but it isn’t the same. I did learn a lot, though.”

“Is that why your oral skills were so good?”

“No, how would watching two women eat each other out improve my blowjob skills? Laura told both Talia and me about her encounters with you. Talia found it hot that it triggered my TFs, and that Laura was essentially shoving sexual skills into my brain, while she ate Laura out. Not to mention, Laura was talking about the various ways she and you took advantage of your transformations.”

“Ah, that would explain it. I had considered you had also just practiced on a cucumber or something.”

“I… did that, too. I’m going to need a bigger cucumber, though.”

Mark snorted out a laugh, “I swear you’re all a bunch of size queens.”

“Really? That’s only what, nine, maybe ten inches? That’s not that big, right?”

“Sadie, please tell me you are joking.”

“I mean, of the three dicks I’ve touched in my life, that,” Sadie pointed at Mark’s still erect penis, “Is currently the smallest.”

“Five to five and a half inches is average. I was above average before the show, but only by a bit, and well within normal. Whoever you’ve been with was either incredibly well endowed naturally, or more likely, they’ve had work done.”

“They are rather wealthy, self-absorbed, brash men, so that makes some level of sense. Part of my father’s quest to have grandchildren. I’m still trying to determine if he is going to try to have you arrested, assassinated, or declare you to be the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

“Well, I doubt that the first two options will be particularly successful.”

“I don’t know, he is very crafty.”

“Sadie, I’m not sure if you’ve met Bruno yet or not.”

“I have not. I feel like I would remember meeting another guy.”

“Bruno is a dog. Literally. He’s Isabella’s from before the show. Cassandra let Isabella have him here to relax her a bit, in exchange for not being hasty about her wolf-girl TF and rerolling it immediately. When she brought Bruno here, she put magical protection on him, as we were pretty sure Sam’s dragon fear was scaring the hell out of him. She said it would take more than a nuke to harm him. Smug is now officially the head of my security. Smug has also indicated that, in some aspects, she is more magically gifted than Cassandra. Maja is also gifted enough that she might one day have Cassandra’s job. Now that Hilde is part of my harem, there’s no way either will let anything happen to me.”

“Honestly, he’d probably not try that even without magic. Between you eventually marrying Talia and you giving him grandbabies, he probably won’t give a damn as long as you treat me decently. So what TF are you copying? Let me guess, A Perfected Show. Wait, maybe If You’re Not First, just to see how it changes since you can’t get first-time bonuses or VP.”

“Nope. I’m taking Grudge Match.”

“Really, you want to compete with whoever is most upset with you?”

“Well, how am I going to fix things if I don’t know what they are?”

“And you think forcing them to humiliate themselves is going to endear them to you?”

“I think win or lose, it will end up for the better. Plus, no one actually hates my guts. You going to come see us off?”

“Sure, why not? Talia or Ethel might show up, which would save me the time of finding them.” Sadie stood and got dressed, and Mark did the same. A few minutes later, they were in the courtyard with the others.

Sam commented, “I see you two had fun. Shame about what losing Laura’s TF did to your physique, though. So what TF did you—”

Throughout the courtyard, time appeared to have stopped except for the party, as they heard, “G-G-G-GRRRUDGE MATCH! TWO DRAGONS ENTER, AND ONE WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS, WITH THE OTHER’S HOARD!” Sam’s brow furrowed as her tail slammed the ground. Smug was nowhere to be seen, but his color commentary was easily heard by all of them. “In this corner…” A spotlight highlighted Sam. “We have the Azure Dragon, the Amber Eyed Terror, Lieutenant SAMANTHA IRRRRVING! Today, she’s going up against her Master Mark Garret for his blatant and completely unjustified theft from her hoard. Seriously, dude, not cool.” Mark saw Sam glaring at him and nodding along as Smug called him out for his ‘theft’. Laura and Isabella were trying and failing to keep themselves from cracking up. Allie was torn on whom to support. Talia was aroused. Sadie just patted Mark on the back, seeming to say, you did this to yourself. “Now for the MAIN EVENT!” Mark saw Sam give him a predatory smile and swore he saw fire in her eyes. “MARIO KART! Now, Audience, I know what you’re thinking, Mario Kart? Really? That’s so BOOOORING! And you would be right! So Mark, Samantha, pick your second. They will be assisting you in two ways. Distracting your opponent by giving them oral. Your seconds will receive a BP reward if you win, though it will be smaller than your own. Sam, as the one with the grudge, you will pick your second first. As a note, they must actually agree to be your second.”

Sam looked around at the women in the courtyard. “Hey, Smug? Does it have to be someone on our team?”

“Yes. I should mention that class abilities will not be permitted; it has also been determined that all TFs will not be able to directly influence you during this match, including passive ones.”

“Why not?”

“Because it was determined that the likely outcome was both of you **** and unable to resolve the match until one of your seconds gets tired or bored and gives up.”

Both Sam and Mark raised an eyebrow at that.

Mark noticed a flicker of light behind Talia’s sunglasses. Talia nodded, “Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll tell you later if you really want to know.”

Well, there goes the idea of getting Chloe. Hmmm, on one hand, I’d like to pick Allie, but I also would prefer it if Mark picked Allie. I mean, the only one I would really rather not have eat me out here is Sadie. She’s not a great pick, though. So, probably Laura then.

“Laura, are you willing to help me out?”

Laura gave her an appraising look. “I was sort of hoping Mark would pick me, so I could have a taste of you.” Sam blushed slightly and pouted. “But if you really want me to be your second, then yes.”

“And if I told you I wanted you to be my second?” Mark asked.

“I’d go with Sam. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be your second Mark, but I’m going to support her if she asks for it.” Mark just nodded.

Sam said, “Then I choose Laura.”

Smug then said, “Alright, now for the thief. Pick your second. Also, as a note, refusing to allow the opponent’s second to give you oral is a forfeit.”

Mark considered the four women available as options. Sadie spoke up, “I’m not doing it, Mark.” I guess that gives me three options left. Isa doesn’t seem to be super thrilled right now. So, Allie or Talia.

Talia stepped forward. “So, Mark… Do you want a greater chance at winning? If so, you should pick me. I might be mistaken, but I’m fairly certain I have significantly more practice eating out a woman than Allie. Also, do you trust Allie not to go easy on Sam?”

“Hey!” Allie exclaimed defensively.

“Allie, are you really saying you might not go easy on your girlfriend even if she is going up against your husband?” Allie pouted because she knew Talia was right.

“Mark, pick Talia,” Allie said defeatedly. “Sam and I haven’t done that yet. We’ve had plenty of fooling around, but we haven’t taken that step. I don’t want to take that step like this.”

“Talia, you cool with this?”

“Yes.”

“Then Talia is my second.”

“ALRIGHT! RACERS TAKE YOUR PLACES!” With Smug’s words, a pair of comfy chairs appeared with a pillow on the ground in front of them. Across from them was a large TV with a Gamecube, booting up ‘Mario Kart: Double Dash!!’. Sam and Mark suddenly found themselves naked and took their seats. Sam noticed her chair was designed so she could sit comfortably, and Talia would still have easy access to her crotch. Talia knelt in front of Sam, and Laura did the same in front of Mark. Mark selected both Koopas and the Barrel Train. Sam selected Bowser Jr., Toad, and the Piranha Pipes. They were set for the All Cup Tour. “Now, before we begin, a slight clarification in case anyone was thinking about it. Seconds, you may not do anything to anyone besides your designated racer and yourself once the match begins. Racers, you may not do anything to one another or your own second, but you may mess with, distract, entice, or persuade the individual eating you out. As long as that activity doesn’t prohibit them from accessing your crotch. For clarity, that means physically preventing them. If they can’t focus, that’s their problem. Everyone’s in position.” As the game loaded into Luigi’s Circuit, Smug spoke along with the in-game countdown. “Ready! Set! GOOOOOOOOO!”

Everyone rushed to begin. Sam and Mark were fighting to get out of the starting area in front of the computers. While Laura and Talia both started licking their respective targets. Laura wasted no time taking Mark deep into her mouth. Damn, wish I could make his dick more sensitive. I guess that is why Smug said TFs were suppressed. Actually, wait… will he recover for a second round as easily? Maybe I should edge him a bit.

Talia was taking the opposite approach and intending to drive Sam over the edge as quickly as possible. Talia was an excellent student, and Laura was a great instructor. Talia had learned how to please a woman extremely quickly. Even without my TFs, I’ve got this. Sorry, Sam, but I’m going to make sure you lose.

Mark took the shortcut past the Chain Chomp while repeatedly executing mini-turbos, gliding through the map with ease. He ignored the outer boosts instead taking tight inside turns. He did end up taking a red and blue shell during the course, but Laura’s distraction wasn’t enough to cost him first place on this course.

Sam, on the other hand, was having problems. Mark had made sure only to use his items either defensively or to target her specifically. The computers throwing out random banana peels didn’t help either. She ultimately placed fourth on Luigi’s circuit, mostly due to Mark repeatedly hitting her with shells as they passed in opposite directions down the middle of the course.

Talia didn’t let up during the loading screen between courses. Laura, on the other hand, pulled back and teased the tip of Mark’s, gently licking it.

While slightly panting, Sam said, “How the fuck are you that good? Especially with Laura blowing you?”

Laura looked up, “I was honestly wondering too, you’re sort of soft right now.”

Mark was slightly leaning forward, staring at the screen.

Allie commented from the side. “He’s not going to answer you right now. He gets like this when he plays competitive games. There’s a reason I got him to stop, at least mostly.” Waluigi’s Stadium came up next. Allie kept commenting from the sidelines. “Sam, I’m sorry to tell you this, but Cassandra must want Mark to win, since he is really good at this game.”

“Allie, please be quiet. AH! It’s hard enough to OH GOD, concentrate as it is.”

Talia paused long enough to say, “The correct exclamation is OH Goddess. For the record.” Talia then started attacking Sam’s clit, causing her to run into a wall.”

Laura was getting annoyed. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK. I mean, he isn’t flaccid, but he’s soft as all get out. “Mark, seriously? My lips around your dick aren’t good enough for you?”

Mark executed a track skip trick, putting him at the finish line well ahead of Sam or the other carts. Mark looked down. “Laura, it’s incredibly distracting. That being said, from the looks of things, A Princely Staff’s effect on my penis is suppressed. Which means a few things: I’m not nearly as sensitive as you’re used to here, and considering Sadie had me cum ten times less than thirty minutes ago, is it a surprise I’m not hard?”

Cassandra’s voice came from the same place as Smug’s and said, “You know what that is, actually an oversight.” Mark felt his penis go ramrod straight. “I restored his vigor to full, but his TF is still down. His refractory period will be normal from here on out.”

Laura licked Mark’s penis and got more of the response she expected as Sam crossed the finish line this time in second. Making the score twenty to twelve. Sam said, “How are you getting across the finish line like thirty seconds faster than me? This is bullshit. Also, how did you dodge the blue shell I saw a computer throw at you?” Sam reached out and placed a hand on Talia’s head as she came, “HOLY FUCK!”

+2 VP Cause Sam to Orgasm (Talia)

Talia came up for air, saying, “Well, I suppose this could count as evangelizing.” Then she returned to her sacred duty.

Allie answered Sam’s questions as DK’s mountain booted up. “Sam, while Mark isn’t a world record holder, for some of these maps, he is one of the top twenty record holders in terms of time. As I said, Cassandra must want him to win.”

“Utter horse shit.”

Thirty-five seconds later, Mark was on lap two. Sam was letting out moans of pleasure, as was Mark. Right before entering the cannon, Mark got hit by a blue shell. Mark then screwed up, as Laura sucked hard on Mark’s cock while making a jump around a turn, and fell into a chasm. Mark started to tap his foot frantically. Even with Laura’s efforts, Mark was still first by a solid ten seconds, and Sam took second again, making the score thirty, twenty.

This time, Laura kept blowing Mark and managed to cause him to climax at the beginning of Peach Beach. This resulted in him holding down the acceleration button and going straight into the ocean. Letting Sam move into first place for the first time so far. Mark spent the rest of the race trying to catch up while trying to ignore Laura. A combination of a duck getting too close, resulting in him getting slowed down in the shallow water, and a blue shell catching him and Sam in the same blast, resulted in them being overtaken by two computers right at the end of the race. Putting the score at thirty-four, twenty-six.

Yoshi Circuit ended up being a rather boring track as Mark was still recovering from his last climax, and Laura was finding it a little difficult to get him hard again instantly, and Talia took a breather, realizing her Anime Physics might have been giving her help dealing with the lack of air when eating someone out. This resulted in Mark crushing Sam once again, putting the score at forty-four to thirty-four.

“YOU HAVE TO BE CHEATING!”

“Get good.” Was all Mark replied.

Allie looked at Sam sympathetically. “Sorry, Sam, he’s just good at the game. He also has sort of a one-track mind. I’ve stood naked next to the TV before trying to get his attention; he didn’t ignore me, but I wasn’t a distraction.”

As the next map was loading in, Laura looked up at Mark, “You ignored her. Naked. To play video games?”

Allie scoffed, “Don’t even get me started.”

No wonder you two needed to go to therapy. That shit isn’t normal. Laura tried timing her motion with the start of the race on Dino Dino Jungle. Taking Mark all the way to the base just as the race started. He learned his lesson from before, and the initial disruption to his gameplay was less damaging this time. Sam was squirming by the end of the track but still managed to barely finish second. The score was fifty-four, forty-two.

Sam was feeling Talia’s efforts near the start of Bowser’s Castle, but was doing her best to keep her mind clear. She had joined Mark in the foot tapping, trying to ignore Talia’s tongue inside her. When Mark flew off the track at a U-Turn, Sam shouted, “I’VE GOT YOU NOW!” and then she laughed when Mark started going the wrong way on the course, “That’s not the way to the finish line!” Mark turned around and then flew off the track again at the same spot. Sam kept laughing as she started lap two. Mark flew off the track again. Sam was confused when she looked at Mark’s screen. “What the fuck? How are you first?” Mark flew off the track, again, and again, and again, and again. Mark had finished the race in first. He sat back and relaxed as Sam took nearly two more minutes finishing the track to take second. During this time, Laura teased Mark just enough to keep him hard, not seeing a reason to be overly enthusiastic.

Allie explained. “Sorry, Sam, it’s a glitch that speed runners use. You aren’t supposed to be able to jump the gap to shortcut the track, even though it looks like you probably could if you’re going fast enough, like with a mushroom.” Allie paused her explanation as Sam got to a tricky bit. “It isn’t actually an easy maneuver to pull off, but if you go off the course just right and then fall off again immediately after, it counts as completing a lap.”

Sam glared at Mark as she saw the score go to sixty-four, fifty. Sam climaxed right at the start of Baby Park, dropping her controller. By the time she had regained her wits, she was two laps behind. Needless to say, she finished 8th on this course. She did complain, though, “How are you going faster than everyone? Your kart is literally sideways. I’m cooked, aren’t I?” Sam stared at Mark’s score of seventy-four, to her fifty.

Mark nodded, “Yes, unless Laura here can get me to take multiple last-place finishes somehow.” Sam sighed. “Not giving up, are we?”

“Yeah, I am.” Sam put down her control. “I hate it, but continuing will only harm our team in the challenge, as I’ll be too exhausted to continue.”

“AND WE HAVE A WINNER! By forfeit. BOOOOOOO! To both of you! Also DOUBLE BOOO! The mean thief who also doesn’t share won.” Smug grumbled. Mark swore he heard a hurrumph. “Anyway, so what are you giving Sam? You can pick on your phone. Some TFs you can’t give like Cassandra said.”

Cassandra spoke up, “Oh, by the way, if you decide to upgrade Sam’s TFs, it will be a fun upgrade. Not saying it can’t fix some issues, but it isn’t going to be just negating the undesired parts.”

Sam looked at Mark, “Please don’t upgrade one of my TFs if that’s the case.”

“Wasn’t planning on it. I had considered a few different options. Ultimately, though, I’m giving you A Princely Staff.”

“Umm… What?” Sam asked. “Mark, I don’t have a penis.”

“The TF changes, remember. I had a little influence as to how, I pushed it towards your [Sailor] path, I figured you would get something like a crew, and the ideal part would function something like my Mary portion does.”

~POP~

Cassandra appeared in the courtyard with a vast grin. “Indeed, it will change. Oh, Mark… you naughty boy. I really didn’t think you would give this one to anyone else. Oh well, too late now. You already chose.”

“Caaa-ssandra!” Mark said irritably, “What are you doing to it?”

“Hey, I’m honestly doing very little to it. You just were an idiot this time.”

Everyone looked confused, and then Talia’s eyes went wide. She went through a wide range of emotions rather quickly. “Oh… Oh Mark. You screwed up. By the Goddess, you screwed up badly.”

Everyone turned to Talia. Mark asked, “What did I do?”

“It’s what we did sort of,” Talia said with a wince. “Mark, you’re giving Sam a copy of that TF. When you copy TFs, you seem to copy the entire TF.”

“That’s right.”

“So, it will be the same here, including the upgrade that I made to it right after the challenge. You know… the one that added Hilde to the Harem…”

Sam whirled to Cassandra. “Please no! You’re going to add her, aren’t you? Please, I’m begging you, let Mark take this back.”

Cassandra placed a hand on Sam’s face. “First, I’m not going to let him take this back. Second, I’m not actually so cruel that I would let a stupid mistake be the reason for someone joining the harem. Brooke was already going to be joining the harem; this is just accelerating things, and might make room for me to round things out later.” Sam’s face paled as her heart fell, hearing that Brooke was joining them. Cassandra snapped her fingers, and Sam and Mark’s clothing was back on.

Mark walked over to Sam, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Cassandra, Brooke isn’t competing in this challenge, right?”

“No, she will not be, though she can participate.”

“I’m really sorry, Sam. I didn’t mean for this, but if she was going to be joining anyway, it might be better now rather than later.”

“Mark, I know you aren’t at fault, but please don’t try to spin this into something positive. I love you, and yes, I knew this was likely to happen, but she’s my best friend.”

“Okay. Well, we’ll need to make sure she’s well taken care of then. She’ll need our support for what she’s going to go through, right? You told me she helped you when things got bad; let's return the kindness.”

Sam wordlessly nodded and gripped Mark in a tight hug.

Cassandra turned to Sam, “You ready?” Sam took a deep breath and gave a **** nod. “Then let’s meet Brooke.”
