Eric's Decision

Round 4 - Tuesday - Day of Trinity's date

Valerie watched as Ciela strode up to Eric and flicked him in the forehead. “Ow, Ciela what the fuck?” He said, rubbing his forehead.

Ciela looked angry, “Eric you are the Master. Stop foisting your responsibilities on the girls. Man up and make a decision yourself for once.”

Eric looked like he was about to say something when Trinity stood up and tried to hand Ciela a piece of cake, “Ciela, calm down. Try some cake.”

Ciela looked at the cake, then back to Trinity, “Do you think I was born yesterday?” She huffed and walked away.

Valerie turned to Isla beside her, “What's up with your sister? I've never seen her like that.”

Isla clicked her tongue, “I have a suspicion, but I'm afraid I have to keep it to myself.”

“What? No, you gotta tell me.” Valerie did not like being kept out of the loop.

Isla shook her head, “If I'm right we'll find out soon enough, but I don't want to jeopardise anything.”

Valerie sighed, “Ok fine.” Valerie took another bite of cake, forgetting about its magic. “Fuck…” she moaned as another orgasm hit her. She shook it off, “Oops. Maybe that's enough cake. So Isla, that was pretty heavy stuff with Trinity earlier. You ok?”

“Ya, I am. Better than ok. I don't deserve her love. It's true that I was always watching out for her growing up, but it came from a selfish place. Can people really change? Can I ever redeem myself?”

Valerie put a hand over Isla's, “I think you already know the answer. Stop beating yourself up. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting the past, but you can't let it define you. Both of us have made some questionable decisions, but we are making progress right? Come on, let’s go dance. We don't have to fret all night.”

Valerie noticed Trinity had pulled Eric to the dance floor already, and Sarah and Jenny were tearing it up. Marcos and Beatriz had disappeared, anyone could guess where they went.

Valerie pulled Isla out of her chair and over to Yaz who was dancing furiously by herself. Valerie started to dance and Isla just stood there.

Yaz giggled and grabbed Isla's hands and started to twist, “Come on silly. Dance.” She said.

Valerie laughed as Yaz pulled Isla along. She stepped in to take one of Isla's hands and one of Yaz’ and the three of them spun around laughing and dancing.

Eric’s mind was reeling with everything Ciela had told him. He felt all sorts of emotions, but mostly anger. She was responsible for so much cruelty, but was owning up to it, trying to fix her mistakes. And now? It was suddenly up to him to prevent even more cruelty. He only had a little while before he had to make a decision and even though he told himself he could still pick anything, he knew in his heart his mind was already made up.

Even worse, he couldn't tell anyone about it. At least not yet. Trinity could obviously tell there was more to the forehead flick than was apparent to everyone, yet she didn't pry. Instead she tried distracting him with dancing.

He felt this was part of her exit transformation. A few hours ago Trinity wouldn't have let it go so easily, but now she was content to trust him to tell her when he was ready. It wasn't a bad thing per say, but it did make him a little concerned about potential personality changes.

Although maybe he didn't have much to worry about. Her transformation had made her dress more modest, but not her actions. The way she was grinding him now would have left him raging hard if not for his magical level of control.

Eric caught Beatriz and Marcos ‘sneaking’ back in. Trinity saw them too, “You know Eric…the other two couples already snuck away for quickies…” Trinity began, “I don't think they'd miss us for a few minutes.”

Well that was certainly like the old Trinity. Eric leaned forward to whisper in her ear, “Once we get back to our room I'm going to fuck you until you can't walk. You just have to be patient.”

Trinity moaned, “Yes. Fuck, ok. I can wait.” She bit her lip and looked him up and down, “but I will hold you to that promise.” Eric just winked and whisked her away to dance with the others.

Ciela watched from a distance. For the first time in centuries, she was nervous. This might be her only chance, relying on a human she had spent very little time with. Still, Felicia had been right, she needed to take this chance. She glanced over at her sister, she looked happy. Even with her hands chained to her sides she was giggling and dancing with friends. If Isla can find happiness here…Ciela shook her head. No use thinking about it. It was all up to Eric now.

Beatriz was dancing with Marcos when she saw the woman enter the hall. Marcos followed her gaze and stopped what he was doing. By the time she reached the dance floor someone had turned the music off and everyone was staring at her. She ignored them all and walked up to Eric. “Eric, what a beautiful ceremony. I hope you’ve been thinking about what gift to accept. Or do you prefer all of them?”

Eric shook his head, “No. I’ve decided.” He didn’t say anything right away, he still looked conflicted. Beatriz bit her lip, wondering what he was about to say. “I’ve decided to add someone to the Harem.” Beatriz couldn’t believe it, she never thought he’d go for that one.

“How wonderful, I’m sure you are about to make her very very happy. Well, after she gets over the whole **** and transformed against her will part. Ok, so who do you pick?” Felicia smiled at him in an off putting way.

“I pick…” Everyone, Beatriz included, gasped as Eric announced his choice.

Ciela watched closely as Eric announced his pick. She heard everyone gasp. Everyone except for Felicia. Felicia had desired this outcome after all. It was the whole reason she was here. As soon as he said it Ciela felt one weight lift from her shoulders, and then another land with even more ****. She felt magic flowing within her, compelling her to do her duties as host. She hurried over beside Eric and Felicia.

“Wait, can he do that?” Ciela heard Marcos say.

“Sister…” Isla trailed off.

Eric stared her down. Ok Ciela, she thought to herself, time to sell it. “Eric…what? Why? No, you can’t.” Ciela said to Eric desperately.

“I’m afraid he can Ciela, I checked.” Felicia grinned at her.

Eric shrugged, “What can I say, ****? Or maybe I just have a thing for women not of my world.” Ciela heard the others gasp, they couldn't believe it.

Ciela saw Trinity staring with her mouth wide open, she wasn’t saying anything, but Ciela could feel the happiness flowing off her. She was shocked, but in the best way possible.

“I think I’m going to have to confer with the producers on this, this can’t be right.” Ciela said.

Felicia grabbed her hands, “No. They don’t want to be bothered with you. In fact SHE already gave me a message for you. Here.” Felicia poked Ciela in the forehead, just as she had done for Eric.

As she pulled back Ciela nodded, “Ok. Message received. Thank you for coming Felicia. I suppose you’d like to stay and witness my humiliation?”

“Naturally.” The red head smiled.

“Very well. All right everyone Eric has chosen to add me, your host, to his Harem. I don’t know why he’s done this, but I am powerless against the rules. They have decided not to replace me since we are so close to the end. I’ll be allowed to keep access to my magic on an as-needed basis until the end of the competition, and my mind will be wiped of all information that would give me an advantage in the final competition. Despite competing alongside you, I won’t know what it is until the words come out of my mouth.

The audience will get 4 votes for my transformations, and I will start with 90VP. The producers have decided not to delay the competition, so I will not get a date night with Eric. Tonight I will take Trinity’s place in her room.

I spent all the BP I’d taken from Eric last night, so I’ll be starting with zero.

Let’s begin with the voting,” Ciela paused, it was actually real. She was about to be transformed without her consent. Nobody had been powerful enough to do that since she’d been a little kid. Well except the producers who don’t interfere directly anymore. She was afraid, but also a little bit excited. She’d been working so hard lately, always alone. She'd never found love, and hadn’t even had a sexual partner in decades. She’d watched Eric fuck these girls with just a hint of jealousy. Being in his Harem wouldn’t be all bad.

“The votes for my transformations will include different levels of severity. It will be up to the audience to reward me or give me **** transformations, or anything in between.”

Vote 1 - Wardrobe

Boss bitch - Ciela can keep her suits and whenever she is wearing one, others, especially those outside the Harem, will tend to perceive her as an authority figure and be more like to obey her requests (Reward)

Personal assistant- Ciela loves to wear business fashionable clothes so she gets to keep her wardrobe, or close to it. She'll be given the role of Eric's personal assistant and be required to wear pencil skirts and tight blouses to show off her body. She'll take her job seriously and organise his life and obey any work-related request. (Light)

Can't see without my glasses - Ciela will become completely blind without glasses, but have superhuman vision when wearing any pair of glasses, prescription or not. Her wardrobe will be limited to a sexy librarian trope, and she will gain extensive knowledge about books and recommendations for books The Harem would enjoy (Medium)

Slacker - Ciela loves wearing suits and other formal wear. Now she'll be the opposite, wearing only casual clothes. In fact she'll feel compelled to dress down for any event and will feel uncomfortable if her attire matches the tone of the event. Her discomfort will be great enough that she may be required to strip and go naked rather than appear well dressed. (****)

“I suppose I’m required to comment on these,” Ciela sighed. Obviously she’d pick all the reward options, but she’d better keep the producers happy, “Honestly any except the slacker. Don’t make me a slob, please. Ok, the next vote is all about my body.”

Vote 2 - Body

Perfect Health - Ciela isn't used to counting calories or working out. Her body has always been perfect due to her magic. She'll keep that benefit. She will always be healthy and maintain her slim figure and athletic ability regardless of her lifestyle (Reward)

Big tits - No fancy title or reason, just bigger tits. Ciela's breasts will swell from B cups to G cups (Light)

Smile! - Ciela has always been very serious, now she'll be **** to maintain a constant smile. She can still be sad or angry or upset, but you'll never know from looking at her face (Medium)

Android - Ciela will become half human half machine. Instead of eating she will have to plug herself into a charging station every day. She will be able to plug herself Into computers and expertly interact using her mind but is also susceptible to being programmed by others in the Harem or Eric. (****)

“Again I’d obviously pick the perfect health, but the others aren’t terrible. The android one, I have a feeling that susceptible is pretty ****, so I’d prefer not to be an android. What about you Eric?”

“Uh…” Eric blinked like a deer in headlights, “I guess either of the first two.” Right, Ciela thought, he does love big tits.

“Ok next one…really?” She said to nobody in particular, “Fine. The next vote relates to my relationship with Isla.”

Vote 3 - Sister

The older sister - As the eldest Sibling Ciela has always had influence over her sister. Now that influence will become absolute, Isla will be unable to refuse any request from Ciela and others in the Harem will see Ciela as a big sister. (Reward)

She hulk - The audience has one final chance for an Amazonian physique. Ciela is now much taller than her little sister, make the difference **** by giving Ciela the height and build of She-Hulk. No actual superpowers or green skin, but her strength will increase to fit her new body (Light)

Twins - Her body will change to become identical to Isla's, minus the lactation (Medium)

Sibling Rivalry - Isla always tried to emulate her big sister and fought to become Host because Ciela had been Host. Now Isla will become the clear winner of their rivalry. Their shared history will be rewritten so that Ciela never had much magical talent and Isla was the successful one. This only affects those in the Harem, no actual changes to the past are made. (****)

“The rivalry one is a little weird, but honestly I’d prefer it to being twins. No offence Isla, but I don’t want to be a short stack. The final category is punishments.”

Vote 4 - Punishment

Sinner's remorse - Ciela feels bad about how others have been punished. She can choose to alleviate their suffering by choosing to take their punishment transformations. Once taken, she cannot give them back without permission. (Reward)

A-dick-tion - Ciela was a fan of giving contestants semen addictions in her earlier season. Now it's her turn. The longer she goes without ingesting cum the worse the withdrawal effects will get (Light)

No rights - Ciela will lose the right over her own body. This means she can't touch herself or cover herself up without permission. She can't speak without permission or cum without permission. Permissions expire immediately after the action except for Eric who can give day-long permission. (Medium)

Ponygirl - Ciela has sentenced more than one poor girl to live her life as an animal. Eric already has a cow, and a candidate for a cat, so Ciela can be his pony. She will be locked into ponygirl bondage and feel a strong need to be treated as a pony. Eric will be able to release her from her bondage temporarily but Ciela will feel more uncomfortable the longer she's free (****)

Ciela hesitated after reading out these ones, she’d done far worse than all of these to her past contestants. She probably deserved them all. “Any of these are fun. Audience, just do as you please.” Not that they wouldn’t anyway. “Also I’ve just been informed that the audience may feel free to write in an extra transformation as a special present to me from HER. Great. I mean, thank you so much. SHE will pick one of them to give to me as well, for a total of 5 transformations."

*Poll is now closed*

“The voting will begin immediately and the results will be announced in two hours. Until then I won’t have access to any of my magic and get to enjoy this wonderful reception,” Ciela fought to keep her voice steady. This had been her choice after all. Still it was a hard reality to face. She felt her magic disappear, it was like losing a part of herself. The others all still seemed too stunned to do or say anything. Until finally Isla shook herself off and came up to her.

“Ciela…I’m so sorry. I don’t know why Eric would do that, it seems out of character.” Isla tried hugging her, but couldn’t with her arms chained. Instead Ciela threw her arms around her sister, and for the first time in a long time, let herself cry.

Trinity pulled Eric along to the hotel suite, as soon as they were inside she turned around to kiss him. After picking Ciela, Eric had changed his tune about waiting. He didn’t want to stick around to answer questions from the others about why he’d picked Ciela so they’d come here to get away. He kissed her back and then surprised her by pushing her to arms length and ripping her dress from her body. She shrieked, but in a good way, and jumped forward into his arms. He felt so good pressed against her naked body, “Not that I’m complaining, but how on earth did you manage that?”

Eric laughed, “It only cost a few BPs to turn your dress into a tear-away version. Go ahead, try my tux.”

Trinity giggled and grabbed his jacket and pulled. Magically all of his clothes burst away from his body. Immediately she grabbed his dick, already hard, and started to stroke. “Wow, is this for me?”

“Yes, let me give it to you.” He scooped her up and brought her to the bed. He tossed her onto it and climbed on top.

Trinity felt her lust higher than it ever had been. Not only that, but her desire to get pregnant was in high gear. She’d wanted it even before the exit transformation, but now, wow, she needed him to cum inside. “Give it to me.” She demanded.

Eric nodded and pushed himself inside. He felt so good, she closed her eyes and savoured the feeling. He started to thrust, harder and harder. The whole bed shook as he plowed her again and again. She heard herself moaning louder and louder until she finally came. She wrapped her legs around him as he did too, filling her up for the first time.

He got off her and laid down beside her, staring at her lovingly. “That was amazing.” He told her.

“Yeah, but we aren’t done yet.” She smiled.

“Oh no, not by a long shot.” He moved to kiss her again but she stopped him.

“Wait…before we go again, I just want to ask. Why did you add her? I have nothing against it obviously, she’s a great choice. But why?”

Eric sighed, “Well, I can’t really say. I promise I’ll tell you why eventually, can you trust me until then?”

Trinity nodded, “Yes. Always.” She knew her new transformation wouldn’t let her put her desire to know ahead of his desire to keep it secret. She wasn’t capable of pushing the subject anymore. Still she liked to think she would have respected his wishes anyway. After all she didn’t trust him because he was her husband, he was her husband because she trusted him.

Satisfied she pushed him down and climbed on top of him, “Ok my turn on top. Grab my tits.” She slid herself down on his dick and he obeyed and reached up to grab her. “Fuck me, breed me.” She begged him. She moaned loudly as he did his very best to obey.

Earlier, in the white void with Ciela

"What do you mean we have to talk? Where are we? What’s going on?” Eric asked.

“We’re in my mind. It’s hard to explain. Magic. This was the only way to talk to you without the producers or anyone else watching. We don’t have much time. I need your help.”

“How could I possibly help you?”

“Felicia works for one of the producers. One who has always been my ally. It seems he finally discovered what I’ve been doing for the last 200 years since I retired from Harem Hotel the first time. He sent her here to help me. To offer me an easy way out.

I’ve already told you that when I was a host the first time I was cruel. Really, I was a monster. Masters and Contestants alike, I ruined all their lives. Somehow one Master got through to me once, told me to go visit someone who’d finished, see if they were happy. Spend time around them without using magic.

I was arrogant, it was like a god being challenged by an ant. Still, for whatever reason I decided to go. The man I checked in on begged me to end his life. To end all of their lives. I spent 1 day with them, living like a human. It was awful.

I retired at the end of that season. Since then I’ve made it my mission to free those ruined by this show. It’s been very difficult. First because these transformations are often done using power from the producers it takes a lot of very strong magic to reverse them. Second, because the producers have a rule, do not interfere with past cast members, I had to make changes slowly, in secret.

My ally knows what I’ve done. They won’t forgive me, including him by the way. Once the others find out I will be punished. Harshly. Like tortured for all eternity kind of punishment.

He sent Felicia to help me, offer me another way out. You. He wants me punished, but is willing to let me off, in his view, easy. She couldn’t just present the idea outright, or the other producers would get suspicious and act before I could become part of your Harem. She had to be seen as an agent of chaos, and I think she accomplished that admirably. I didn’t understand right away, but she managed to signal me.

I know you don’t want any of these options, but I am begging you, add me to your Harem.”

Eric was stunned, “What? Are you serious? If they want to punish you that badly, won’t they just do it anyway?”

Ciela shook her head, “No. The producers all have so much power, but they follow their own rules. They would never go after me as a contestant, if you pick me, I’ll be safe. Or mostly safe, the rules will protect me.”

“Safe except for the four transformations. Won’t they figure it out and just use those to punish you.”

_“Eric, whatever transformations get proposed, it will be better than the punishment that waits. Please. I am begging you. Pick me. We’re out of time. Please, think about it. When time restarts you can’t tell anyone what I said. Not until after the show ends and I’m safe from further retribution. If they find out that I wanted this they won't let it happen and we'll all suffer for it. Please, no matter who asks, don't say anything. They are always watching. Ok, in a few seconds I’m going to yell at you, just act angry with me. Ok, 3…2…1…”- - - - - -

_

Jenny watched Eric run off with Trinity, leaving Ciela weeping in her sister's arms. Something wasn’t right here. She’d known Eric since they were kids. He’d never, ever been the kind of person to hurt someone like that. There has to be something else she didn’t know about. She was tempted to go after him, confront him away from Ciela, but Sarah stopped her.

“Let me go Sarah, I gotta find out why he did this.” Jenny pulled but Sarah wouldn’t let go of her hand.

“No. Wait. Look I don’t know him as well as you do, but if he did this, he has a reason. We both said we’d trust him to have our ultimate obedience, but now you want to question him? Something fishy is afoot, let’s just see how this plays out.” Sarah said.

“But how can you be so sure? Maybe he really was just tempted by her. She is pretty hot.”

“No way, you know that’s not true.” Sarah insisted.

“Argh, I know. You are right. He wouldn’t do it that way, but then why? What’s going on?” Jenny was frustrated, she didn’t like not knowing.

“I’ve been thinking about what Felicia has been doing. It seems she triggered Yaz’ brain pop, but that actually got rid of Yaz’ stage fright and let her sing. She tempted Marcos, but he would never betray the others. Marcos suddenly has 20 more VP than this morning, and I really doubt he slept with Eric. Isla is in chains again, but she has a transformation that makes her feel comfortable like that, and now she has the key. Everything else she’s done has benefited us, except for this is Ciela. Maybe she wanted to join the Harem.”

“Why would she want that?” Jenny had technically signed up herself, but she had been tricked. Although if she knew everything that would follow, namely meeting and falling in love with Sarah, she probably would have accepted for real. “Nevermind, I guess she might have her reasons. Ok, let’s just forget about it for now. Let’s grab another drink.”

Jenny led Sarah to the bar and she noticed the dancing had completely died out. Isla and Ciela were talking quietly together. Marcos and Beatriz had joined up with Yaz and Valerie and were seated having a drink together. Stephanie was cleaning up and Mali was naked and gorging herself on the rest of the wedding cake. “Mali, stop that.” She called over. Mali immediately stopped and sighed. She came up to them.

“Sorry, Trinity said I could have as much as I wanted.”

Sarah giggled, “Ok, but is the cake that good or do you just want to cum? Because we’d rather give you permission to touch yourself rather than see you vomit that all up later.”

“Can’t it be both?” Mali smiled innocently.

“Just go hang out with Marcos and the others. No more cake for you.” Jenny ordered. Mali trudged off. Jenny and Sarah grabbed a drink and joined everyone else. “So, what the fuck huh?” She said immediately.

Sarah smacked her, “You said you were going to drop it!”

“Oh right, nevermind. I meant, what a beautiful ceremony. Trinity looked stunning.” Everyone else seemed to be thinking the same thing as Jenny, but kept to Sarah’s cue and stayed off topic. They all remained there in two groups until Eric and Trinity finally returned just before 8. Eric looked a little dishevelled, but Trinity looked as perfect as when she’d left. They made a beeline for Ciela and Isla, reaching them just as the clock struck 8.
