Ben lets them go

Ben pointed the hose at Bonnie, still grinning.

Then, he lowered it, and extended a hand. "Oh, all right, then," he said, shrugging. "Because we're friends. And, by the way, nice tits."

Bonnie grabbed his hand and let him haul her out, chest heaving as she dragged Susie up behind her. They were finally out of the shame pit! They'd made it back onto dry land, the earth secure beneath them. They were safe!

Well, almost. Bonnie looked around, and saw that she and Susie were now standing in a small clear space in the centre of a large, raucous crowd, both completely naked. She squealed and clasp her hands to her body, intending to run away, but Ben grasped her arm.

"Not yet," he said. "I rescued you, so you have to do me a favour."

"What?"

"Don't run off. Stand here for a while. Hands on your head."

"But..."

"Do it or I'll throw you back in the pit. I can do it, too."
