But don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Dakota wore a sour expression on her face as she walked into the elevator, leaving the Master’s Suite in the morning.

“What’s the matter, Dakota?” Sylvia immediately popped into existence beside her when the doors closed, wearing a smirk. “Isn’t this what you wanted? The master held you all night long, just like you dreamed.”

“This was you, wasn’t it?” Dakota’s words came out as cold as ice. “You arranged the schedule of the weekly visits so that Gina would go before me, knowing that Nick would have sex with her before I had the chance.”

“I didn’t ‘know’ anything,” Sylvia said, shaking her head. The smirk remained steadfastly affixed to her face in spite of her words, though. “I simply set up the situation. It was Nick’s choice entirely whether or not to go through with having sex with Gina. She wanted it. He wanted it. That makes things my fault how, exactly?”

Dakota said nothing, she just glared at Sylvia. If looks could kill, not even Sylvia’s masters could have kept her in this world.

The elevator came to a stop and Sylvia stepped off, looking back at Dakota. “You’ll have plenty of opportunities to be with your master in the future, my girl. That’s the whole reason you came back, isn’t it?”

And with that she was gone.

Still irritated, Dakota walked to her door. She ran into Rose, who had just come out of it with a smile on her face, looking incredibly refreshed.

“Did you have a good night?” Rose asked cheerfully. Dakota responded with a growl and Rose pouted.

“Come now, you should be more friendly!” She replied. “It’s important to make friends with your fellow harem members!”

She held out her hand generously to Dakota in friendship. The pale woman didn’t reciprocate the gesture, simply uttering another growl.

Rose dropped her hand and shrugged. “Well, I tried. But seeing as how we may be getting much closer these coming weeks, I would appreciate some camaraderie, don’t you? Who knows, I might even be able to make it worth your while…”

Dakota turned back to her.

“You’re not part of the harem,” she reminded Rose. “You’re an Auditionee.”

Rose tossed her hair back and glanced over her shoulder with a coquettish pose. “We’ll see about that…”

Confused but also uninterested, Dakota returned to her room where she saw Holly sitting on the bed, half-naked and looking satisfied. The girl was coming in and out of consciousness and the stains on the sheets told the whole story.

“M-Mistress…?” She mumbled drearily, tilting her head up to see if Rose had returned. When she saw that it was Dakota, she snapped back into sanity.

“AH! Um, this is, uh… I mean…” Holly frantically pulled the blanket over her, her face red with shame. But Dakota didn’t care.

“So you couldn’t even save your first time for Nick,” she said, shaking her head in disgust. “And here I thought you were like me.”

“I-I’m not like you!” Holly spat.

“No, you’re not. Because I fight for what I want,” Dakota replied. “You just let yourself get tooled around by another woman.”

“I didn’t have sex!” Holly cried. “I mean… she just, well… she touched me, but that was it! We didn’t well… you know!”

Dakota raised her eyebrow. “What do you think sex between two people without penises looks like?”

Holly hadn’t really thought about it that way.

But she was confident that she hadn’t betrayed her master. Nick! Not her master. Nick. She hadn’t betrayed him. Because every time Rose brought her to orgasm, his face was burned in her mind. And that’s why… that’s why she…

“W-Wait a minute!” Holly sprung out of bed, half-naked. “I didn’t fall asleep last night!”

“I can tell,” Dakota sneered, changing out of her clothes into something a little more casual, hinting at Holly that she should do the same.

“N-No, I mean… because I didn’t sleep, then I didn’t dream about anyone,” she realized. “So that means my transformation, it didn’t… I guess it didn’t work!”

“Congratulations. Now all you have to do is go without sleeping for the rest of the season,” Dakota smirked, finishing changing her clothes and heading for the elevator to go get breakfast. “Should be a blast.”

Holly turned pale, and realized her solution was no solution at all.

Then she finally realized the state she was in, and rushed to the bathroom to shower off the sweat and grime from her night of debauchery.

While Holly was frantically preparing herself, Carly woke up with a smile on her face, ready to greet the day. She got out of bed with the confidence of a woman who knew for a fact that she was having sex tonight.

I’ve been waiting for this all week. Carly was burning with anticipation. She could hear her roommate using the shower, and like always Carly decided to pretend that she had no idea what she was doing in there. Today wasn’t Dani’s day anyway; it was hers.

First, who am I wearing today? Carly had gotten used to sleeping naked by this point, but she loved all the new costumes she got to try on every morning. It was one of the things that made this competition she was trapped in a little easier. Compared to the other girls, Carly had adapted rather quickly. A big part of that was because her transformations were easy on her, which played nicely with her natural “go-with-the-flow” attitude.

The promise of a wish at the end was the cherry on top. Carly couldn’t bring herself to worry about the dangers involved in this competition, no matter how much they frightened her. She had a goal in mind, and she meant to attain it.

And for that, she needed Victory Points. As many as she could get. She was planning to sleep with Nick tonight- no, scratch that, she was definitely going to be sleeping with Nick tonight. And she planned to sleep with him many more nights to come; but for now, she would focus on tonight.

As a LonelyFans star, Carly knew all about how to make herself look more appealing and desirable. It was how she made enough money to afford a nice apartment while financing her rock climbing hobby. Her raw sex appeal was the most powerful weapon in her arsenal when it came to winning Nick over, even if it didn’t play well with the audience.

And if sex was her battlefield, then her costume today was her suit of armor. And in this case, that was literal. Her outfit today was Saber from the Fate franchise, in full dress armor. And it wasn’t soft material designed to look real, no, from the weight Carly wondered if it was actual armor. Not exactly the sexiest thing in the world, no, but it was the sort of outfit she loved. A badass woman that made her feel tough and strong. She put the clothes on and turned to the mirror, checking herself out.

Not bad. But the hair’s not right.

Since Carly received her Anime Black transformation, her default hairstyle was short and black. But now she could change that at will. She lightened the color to a bright blonde and let it grow down to past her shoulders. But that was just the start. She willed it to tie itself up in a braid and wrap around the back of her head in a crown, exactly like the noble summon.

Now she was perfect, save for the huge boobs that felt just a little bit cramped in her costume. Which was probably intentional. She finished off just as Dani walked out of the shower.

“Bwuh…” The tan woman’s jaw dropped and her towel dropped with it. She stood buck naked before Carly’s eyes, and didn’t even care because her attention was so focused on the beautiful woman in standing in front of her.

“I take it that means you like what I’ve got going on?” Carly teased, striking a pose. If only the costume had come with a sword! But then, there was a way to do that, wasn’t there? Carly remembered her list of special-order items that she could spend her Bonus Points on, and one was perfect for this.

• 500 BP: Secks Vaporub – Contestant Carly will receive a tin of special Vaporub that, when rubbed into clothing, will turn the garment mostly transparent, like vapor. (Effects wear off after 24 hours. Contains enough for 3 outfits.)
• 3000 BP: Mastur Tool – Contestant Carly will be given an object that can transform into anything within a certain size, so long as that thing is a sex toy or an accessory to the costume that she is currently wearing. (The Mastur Tool will maintain its shape for 1 hour, then will require 3 hours to recharge.)
• 10000 BP: Say Cheese and Die – Cumming! – Contestant Carly’s camera will be upgraded to a Magic Camera. Whenever a person’s picture is taken with the Magic Camera, the picture that develops will display them in a sexual situation. The scene depicted will occur within 24 hours. (If multiple people are captured by the camera, all will be involved in the scene. Additional pictures taken of any involved parties will do nothing until the first picture’s prophecy comes to pass.)

All of her options were exciting. She was especially excited for the Magic Camera – she wanted to save up as much BP as possible so she could really have some fun. Mainly though, she was just thinking of using it on herself and Nick. She was too nice of a person to attempt to take pictures of anybody else. As for the Mastur Tool…

She was tempted, she really was. It seemed like a lot of fun, and would accentuate her costume nicely. But it would take almost all of her BP. She wasn’t like Kim, rocking at the top of the popularity charts. For once, she wasn’t one of the most liked girls in the room.

So she sadly dismissed her dreams of a sword, and turned to Dani.

“…You should probably get dressed, or we’re going to miss breakfast.”

“Um, yeah, sure,” Dani mumbled. Carly squinted and saw the bags under her eyes. She walked over to Dani as she got changed, putting on one of the few dresses she had. A very modest garment, unlike her favorite sky blue one.

“Is everything okay?” Carly asked.

“Sure, yeah, why wouldn’t it be?” Dani tried to **** a smile to her face, but Carly wasn’t buying.

“You’re still having those dreams, aren’t you?”

And just like that, Dani’s face fell. She slumped against the dresser and hung her head, sighing. “…Of course I am.”

“But didn’t you fix it?” Carly frowned. “I mean, you sounded really confident about your plan the other day, to kiss Nick while making yourself really horny. That didn’t work out for you?”

Dani shook her head. “I haven’t had a dream of him kissing me once. It’s always been those two events, the beach or the sauna. I can’t take it, Carly! Do you know what it’s like? Dreaming about doing sexy stuff with someone you’re not attracted to? It’s awful!”

“Even if it’s Nick?” Carly asked.

Dani sighed. “Especially because it’s Nick. It would be one thing if it was just some random guy, I could try to pretend that maybe it was some really masculine girl. But because I know it’s Nick, I can’t put that thought out of my mind!”

She started shaking, and Carly thought she was about to cry. So she did what any friend would do, and gave Dani a big hug.

“Ow. That hurts.”

“Oh, whoops. Sorry about that.” Carly pulled back, smiling sheepishly. Apparently, armor wasn’t the best thing to hug someone in, who could have guessed?

“It’s fine, thanks for the gesture,” Dani said, trying to smile as best as she could. “I guess I’ll have to figure something else out.”

“Well, what if we check your sheet?” Carly suggested.

Dani blinked. “My… sheet?”

“Yeah, you know. The stuff you can buy BP to use? You already spent some to increase your libido, right? Did you check the back?” Considering how exciting Carly’s choices were, there had to be something there for Dani.

“The back, huh…” Dani had actually missed that. It hadn’t even occurred to her that there could be things on the back. She went to the nightstand and fished out her list of potential purchases, and turned it over to see what she could get that was unique for her.

• 1000 BP: Bubbly Bubblicious – Contestant Dani will be given a box of gum. Anyone who chews it will become more feminine in temperament, becoming obsessed with cute and “girly” things at the cost of a sharp drop in IQ. (Effects wear off 6 hours. Contains 6 sticks of gum.)
• 2000 BP: Shake Weight™ – Contestant Dani will be given Shake Weight™ to train her body. Usage for a period of 30 consecutive minutes will release a discharge of “Man Cream” that, when swallowed, will temporarily transform her physique into a buff athlete with short hair once again. (Effects wear off after 12 hours. Comes with 3 doses of Man Cream. Additional doses must be purchased for 500 BP.)
• 10000 BP: Sapphic Kiss – Contestant Dani will be given a special tube of lipstick that, when applied, will turn anyone she kisses into a woman. (NOTE: This item cannot be purchased without consent from Master Nick. Should Master Nick not desire to turn into a woman for whatever reason, the lipstick will have no effect until such a time that he does. Effects wear off after 1 hour.)

Dani’s jaw dropped. The answer was staring at her in the face for the price of 10000 BP.

“Is… is that real?” Carly was peaking over her shoulder and couldn’t believe what she was reading.

“I-I don’t know,” Dani mumbled, shaking her head. “But if I bought that… then I could turn Nick into a woman. I mean, he would still be Nick, but he’d be a woman. If that were the case…”

Dani had never thought about Nick as a woman before. But it seemed like an option that would allow her to do lewd things with him without her body being repulsed by his.

She had a lot to think about.

Carly noticed how conflicted her roommate was, and gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Hey, think about it this way!” She grinned. “It’s not like you have the BP to buy it right now anyway, right? So think it over. And if it works for you, then it works! And if not, well, you’ll think of something!”

Dani nodded. She’d barely heard a word that Carly had said, her head still lost in thought at the idea of Nick as a woman.

Those thoughts were still plaguing Dani’s mind as she began her workout routine. She couldn’t take her mind off the possibility.

What would that even do? Would it just make him grow boobs and turn his dick into a vagina? Would that be enough? Or would it transform him completely, like my transformation? These thoughts filled her head as she ran on the treadmill.

And how would I feel about that?

Dani had never seriously considered Nick as a romantic or sexual partner. While they had been very close friends (at one point, she’d even considered him her best friend) by the time he’d developed a crush on her, she’d already suspected that she didn’t like boys. It was why she’d awkwardly run away in the first place, since she wasn’t quite sure how to approach that topic with him.

Because of that, she’d never thought about how she would feel if he were a girl. It was the kind of insensitive question that men occasionally asked a lesbian. “Okay, but would you go out with me if I was a girl?”

Did guys really think lesbians thought that way? “Oh, I would just love to go out with you, if only you didn’t have a penis!” No, Dani had never been attracted to Nick, penis or no penis, she’d never thought for a second about what she’d do if he turned into a girl someday.

She’d watched her fair share of genderbender anime in the past because the fanservice was so hot. Would this be something like that?

“Wow, you’re even more amazing than I thought!”

Rose’s sultry voice nearly caused Dani to slip off the treadmill. She’d been so caught-up in her workout that she hadn’t even noticed the other woman enter the gym. Now that she was here, though, and staring right at her as worked out, Dani felt the urge to prove herself. Her heart swelled with pride and she picked up the pace. She couldn’t help it. Rose was beautiful, and in front of a beauty like that, Dani couldn’t help but want to show off.

“I must say, your body is a work of art.” Rose licked her lips, running her eyes over Dani’s body appreciatively. It was all for show, of course. She had no attraction to women. Even last night with Holly had been a means to an end. But as someone with a rocking body herself, she could appreciate beauty when she saw it; if she could have a figure like Dani’s while being that athletic, there’d be no end to the types of roles she could play.

Rose followed Dani through the rest of her workout routine, laying on compliment after compliment. Dani was thoroughly distracted from her previous dilemma, growing hotter under the pressure of Rose’s gaze.

By the time she finished, she actually felt a little aroused. She set down her dumbbells and walked over to Rose, wiping off her sweat with a towel.

“Are you here to work out? I could give you some tips.”

Lame. Lame, lame, lame. Dani couldn’t help it though. She’d never been good at picking up women, not even the ones who it was obvious batted for the same team. So her attempt to start a conversation with Rose went over like a lead balloon.

Not that it mattered. Rose wasn’t here to get seduced. She was here to do the seducing. Dani could have been bellowing like an ape for all it mattered, and Rose would still be hanging off of every grunt.

Amused, she decided to tease the other girl a little.

“Are you saying you don’t think I’m in good shape?” Rose asked, sounding hurt.

Dani gasped and turned pale. “N-No! I would never say that! You’re in great shape! Your boobs are big, your butt looks really- I,I mean your waist is just- err, um…”

In her haste to appease Rose’s mood, Dani stumbled over her words as she unloaded several “compliments” that proved just how big of an ass she could make out of herself.

But Rose just laughed it all off.

“I’m just playing with you!” She got up and placed a hand on Dani’s arm, chuckling. “But seriously, look at this dress. Do you think it’s good for working out?”

Rose gestured to her red dress, posing to show off all of her curves. Dani swallowed, picturing her without it on. Then she wondered if the other woman even had any other clothes. Did she do laundry every day? Naked? Regardless, she still smelled great. The scent of ammonia and sweat that usually plagued the gym was offset by the aroma of rose petals.

“I-I guess not. But then… why are you here?” Dani’s heart pounded with hope. It couldn’t be to see her, could it?

“Carly said I could find you here.” And now her heart had skipped a beat.

“I-I see…”

“Well, we are going to be rooming together, so it makes sense we should get to know each other a little, first, don’t you?” Rose smiled. "We've barely gotten to hang out this past week, are you excited?”

Excited? Why would she be excited? What was Rose suggesting might happen between the two of them tonight? She couldn't be flirting, could she? Dani’s mind was going all over the place. This was the most confused she’d been since… since…

And suddenly she remembered her earlier dilemma. “Ah!” She gasped, startling Rose. But as the excellent actress she was, Rose maintained her cool, keeping her smile on her face.

“Everything okay?”

Dani sighed, slumping down on one of the rest benches. She shook her head. “Just a bit of an issue I’m having,” she mumbled.

“Well, why not talk about it with me?” Rose suggested, sitting down beside her and placing her hand on Dani’s knee. “I’m a great listener.”

Dani was so overwhelmed by Rose’s beauty that she didn’t even think to hold anything back. She let it all out, telling Rose about her punishment, how her dreams were constantly plagued by memories of Nick’s hands all over her, and most embarrassing of all, how she had the option to change it with a purchase from the shop, but she didn’t know if she should or not.

“…What do you think?” Dani asked weakly. “Should I buy it when I get enough BP? I mean, even if I want to, it’s not up to me, I’d have to ask Nick what he wants, and he might not… well, he might be against it, so…”

She was just too lost to know what to do.

Rose tapped her chin thoughtfully. “Well, 10000 BP is a lot, I can tell you that. From the perspective of a girl like me who doesn’t have any, of course.”

“I know, but if it can stop these dreams…”

“Well, what if there was another way you could stop those bad dreams? Or at least give yourself some nicer dreams?” Rose suggested.

Dani shook her head. “No, it doesn’t work that way. Even if I bought the transformation suppressor from the shop, that’s 3000 BP and it only lasts for one day.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about,” Rose clicked her tongue, shaking her head. “What I mean is, what if there was some way you could have dreams filled with sexy ladies in them, instead of Nick? Wouldn’t you like that more?”

Dani stared blankly at her.

“I mean, yeah, obviously…”

“You said before that you were having dreams about what happened on the beach, right?” Rose reminded her. “Even though you weren’t alone with Nick. Carly was there too, wasn’t she?”

“Well, she was, but it’s not like she was touching me, only Nick was.”

"But what if she was touching you?”

Dani blinked. “…Huh?”

“What if Carly was touching you and not just Nick? Imagine that it’s the three of you back on the beach, but instead of Nick rubbing sunscreen on your body, it's Carly doing it as well? Do you think if THAT was your dream, you’d be able to move past the ‘Nick’ part, and focus on what Carly was doing to you?”

Dani’s heart began to race. Her eyes widened. How had she never thought of this before?! It must have been the sleep deprivation. But it made perfect sense. If she and Carly were doing something along with Nick, then all three of them would show up in her dream! And if that happened, maybe she’d actually have a dream to look forward to!

“So you’re saying I need to do sex stuff with not just Nick, but with Carly too, at the same time? That’s… yeah, that could work, but…”

Dani bit her lip.

“…Carly doesn’t like girls that way. At least I don’t think she does. Would she really be up for something like that?”

“You could always suggest it,” Rose shrugged. “There's no harm in asking. She seems like she cares a lot about you. If you make it out to be like she needs to do it to help you, I don't think she'd say no."

In spite of what Rose was saying, that was the last thing she wanted. But she needed to sound like Dani's friend right now, so she had to make the obvious suggestion. But she quickly followed it up with her real goal. "And even if she doesn’t… you could always join in with me.”

Dani’s mouth dried up and she stared at Rose, shocked. “W-With you?”

Rose nodded, her eyes narrowing into mischievous slits. “That’s right. You and me. If you helped me with Nick, just be an extra pair of hands in the bedroom, I promise I’d do all sorts of wonderful things to you that you’d love to see in your dreams!” She suppressed a grin.

The poor thing’s practically drooling all over me!

Then the smile disappeared. “Oh, drat! I almost forgot!” She groaned.

“What? What is it?” Dani had a wild look in her eye, still partially picturing doing stuff with Rose.

“I can’t take you with me on my last night into the Master’s Suite,” Rose sighed. “That night is supposed to just be for me and the master. I’m sorry.”

Dani’s heart sank. Rose used all of her acting chops to keep a wicked smile off of her lips.

“But I suppose… if I made it past the next round… well, maybe we could do all sorts of things together with Nick,” Rose considered, as if the idea had just come to her. “Especially if we were buddies. Every night we could have some fun, wouldn’t that be something?”

Rose had polished her technique at pleasuring women with Holly in order to use her talents on Dani. Tonight would be the proving ground. She’d have Dani all to herself to “plead her case” and by the end of it she was confident the other girl would pick her over Carly. As hot as Carly was, she wasn’t putting out. Rose would. She counted on that to be the deciding factor. If all went as planned, she’d have a spot locked in (supposing Dani got higher than Carly on the next challenge, of course) and she could leverage that into further advantages.

She waited eagerly to hear Dani’s response.
