Pretty naked I mean good

"I recommend we start with the sauna," Hannah said.

"Uh. I don't have a swim suit with me. Or anything for that matter," I said.

"Huh," Mia said. "Never really been an issue before. I mean not like we all haven't been on display right?"

"Right," Samantha said as she stripped. Damn she had a nice figure. Curvy in all the right places. Definitely a picture perfect mommy type.

"Don't pressure her," Chloe said. "I'm sure we can handle swim suits for one day."

"Wait. You want us all to get into swimwear?" Samantha asked, her surprise clear.

Chloe looked at me. "We are here for you. What do you say?"

"Fuck it," I said as I tossed the pajamas they put me in aside. They must have saw me naked when they changed me.

"Hell yeah," Samantha encouraged. "Remember all the family gets a discount at my shop. Though I could give ya a starter pack for free if you ever wanna step up your seduction game."

I giggled a bit.

As the ladies all stripped I noticed something. We didn't really have any commonalities, beyond being women. Samantha was curvy. Lisa was flat as a board. Hannah was older and had a more nurturing look. Mia was athletic. Olivia was a bit on the heavier side without being fat. Even hair color and skin complexion all varied.

I wasn't sure what it meant but I guess Samuel was diverse in his sick twisted game.

The sauna was huge but we all kind of huddled together. I'd be lying if I didn't say it was nice. This is the only place I could feel like this. My biological family would have so many questions that I wouldn't be able to answer properly. These girls, this family. They understood me in a way no one else did.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of connection to them. I realized one thing. Even if I lost, I'd wanna keep this connection. I felt like, if I had it. Maybe winning and losing didn't really matter.

"I gotta ask," Emily said. "What led to punching Samuel?"

Huh. "I... Don't really have a reason. I just kind of did it. I was with Kat. It was right after I stole the book. I ended up grabbing a padlock and hit him in the neck. I wasn't really thinking."

"Damn. What did he do?" Emily asked.

"He **** me to do a harsh workout routine. Daily or play with dolls."

"I bet Clara loved that," Sophia said.

"She did," I said. I noticed I didn't feel angry. "Is it wierd? I can't seem to feel angry. Even if I try it's like the fire pit in my stomach is covered in mud."

"It's not wierd," Olivia said. "We have all been there. I'm just surprised you got off so light. I slapped Samuel during my game and he had me doing naked laps around campus for a month."

"Back during my game. He had me run a car wash. I wasn't naked," Hannah said. "But it was a different time and I was certainly embarrassed. It's interesting to think how much he has changed since then."

"So you all really did play. You were all tortured by him. And yet. You don't hate him?" I asked

"Nope," Emily said.

"Not a bit," Olivia added.

"I'd marry him if I could," Samantha added.

"You know his thoughts on that," Hannah added.

"Hence the 'if I could' part."

I noticed Lisa didn't answer. "And you?"

"I don't hate him. I wasn't so sure at first. I was debating on trying to take him down or seeking therapy to reclaim my old identity. But with the whole Sarah situation. I realized, I actually do like Samuel. He's the only man I'd ever consider marrying."

"I'm sorry," I said. "About Sarah."

"It's okay. We made a deal. You don't try and manipulate us and we won't manipulate you. As long as you keep to that deal. Then I don't see why we can't be sisters."

A tear welled up in my eyes. Was this what real love felt like? The girls all came and gave me a group hug. Holy cow that was hard to describe. On one side it was intimate and tender and on the other, it was eight pairs of boobs pushing up against me.

But I was straight. Or I thought I was. I honestly didn't know who I was anymore.

Hannah looked at me serious for a moment. "What's the worst thing Samuel did to you?"

Huh. That was sudden. "I uhm," I paused thinking. The **** lesbianism stuff was probably what I should say. But to be honest. I missed Kat. I wished she was here. I wanted to kiss her. It felt wrong to call those moments the worst anything. Even if I hated it at the time. The **** engagement was next but again it was Kat related. The working out? I actually kind of liked that. Even if painful. What else did he do? I guess the playdate but he didn't **** me to do that.

"You already answered my question," Hannah said with a smile.

"I don't get it," I said.

She turned to Olivia. "Care to give your answer?"

"He took me to a medical class and had the teacher use me as a training doll. Basically every student got to feel me up inside and out to get a practical feeling for the human body. I was so upset I cried for days," she said smiling.

"You're smiling?" I asked.

"Exactly," Hannah said.

"I know that's what I should say," Olivia added. "From my past self. That was the most traumatic. But I'm not little Olivia Baker anymore. I'm winner number 6. And that moment was a defining feature of it. I plan to ask Samuel to use the book to let me do it again."

"That's insane!" I shouted.

"Was the same for me," Samantha said. "Dressing up in lingerie was mine. I even got pounded in the butt by one of the store managers too. Good times. Why do you think I opened up a lingerie store?"

"Why are you comparing me to that?" I demanded.

"Because," Hannah said. "You didn't answer right away. You weren't sure what to say. Your at the tipping point."

"I...I...I..." I stuttered.

"The only thing left," Mia said. "Do you pull it together to win or not."

"I give it a fifty-fifty since Kat is involved," Lisa said.

My mind was whirling around. I think the hot water was getting to me too. "I... I don't know what to think. Who even am I anymore?"

They all came to hug me again. Chloe whispered into my ear. "Win or lose. You are part of the family. You were the moment Samuel picked you. And we will always love you."

I just hugged them back. Right now. Nothing else mattered.
