Ready, Aim, Fire!

As the twins and Hillary began their competition, Dave hurried over to the group of women sprawled on the ground. "Is everyone OK? Do you need anything?", he asked. He had heard Sage say that they were just under the effects of a major orgasm, but he wouldn't be satisfied until the women told him that they were fine.

"I could use some fresh underwear", Jane groused. "It's kind of hard to be upset about cumming that hard, but it would have been nice to have a change of clothes, you know?"

Looking towards Jane, Dave was unable to take his eyes off of Suzanne. She had managed to sit up and was now leaning back with her hands supporting her. What caught Dave's eye was the fact that she was sitting with her legs spread. Her skirt had fallen to her waist and there was nothing in between his eyes and her naked pussy other than open air. Her lips and upper thighs were shiny with her juices. "Uh... Suzanne? Your, uh... I can see, uh ", Dave wasn't quite sure how to politely tell a woman that her pussy was on display. What if this is intentional? But remembering her reaction in the morning in his bed, Dave felt like this was almost certainly not on purpose.

"Huh?" Suzanne looked at Dave, uncomprehending.

"Your, uh, skirt?", he stammered, gesturing at her.

Suzanne looked at where he was pointing and let out a squeak of embarrassment. Her legs were still a little too unsteady to risk running away, and she wasn't sure what Sage would do if she did manage to run off. Scrambling, she managed to get her legs tucked underneath her, repeatedly smoothing her skirt, as though it was likely to rise on its own and expose her again. Shit. Maybe it would, thought Dave.

Dave thought the best way to help Suzanne was to not acknowledge her little show and changed the conversation topic before anyone could comment. "What you four did. I can't tell you how brave I think you all are. I promise. I will do what I can to help." At the meaningful looks from all four women, he grimaced. "Even if it means... that. I'll try to drop it, but it still feels like **** and every time, afterwards, I feel like a piece of shit who can't keep his dick in his pants." Holding up a hand to forestall the protests he knew were coming, he continued. "I hear you, OK? You say that it's what you want, then it's what you want. I just worry about my morals, is all. Will I even recognize myself a year from now? Also, every time, that little voice that tells me how wrong this is gets a little bit quieter. I just worry, OK? Jane, Louise, you both know me. I've never been a fan of weak, indecisive women. I want a partner I can respect. Who also respects me. Blind obedience isn't sexy at all to me."

"But you've definitely told me that a little roleplay wouldn't be out of place", Jane interjected. "You told me that one of your fantasies from your bucket list was the whole "unwilling girl gets fucked into submission" scene." She winked at him. "I bet we could come up with something like that here."

"But that's my point!", he shot back. "The key word is roleplay. This is more like real life." He looked around at the four faces. "I just worry about turning into someone I would hate. I'm ashamed at the thoughts that run through my mind every time Sage tells me that I have a harem. I'm ashamed that my trepidation is growing smaller and smaller. I just..." He trailed off. "I know that if I want to help you, all of you, that sex is the primary way to do it. I just wish I had some way of knowing that what was going on wasn't against anyone's will. You know?" He looked plaintively from one face to the next, ending with Jane.

"I hate to say this, but all of this has been against our wills" Grace wasted no time in crushing Dave's hope. Smiling at him, she continued. "But that was then. This is now. Circumstances have changed. We have changed. Before we came here, you would never have been on my radar as a potential partner. You're handsome, and in shape. But you just weren't my type. Now, however, that's very much not the case. I have made peace with my circumstances and am doing my best to accept what can't be changed. I think most of us have come to that same place, some more than others. I have done things in the last couple of days that I would never have considered before. And I have enjoyed them. So, this is a promise I can make you. I promise to, if you want me to, to pull you aside and tell you anytime in the future if I think you have overstepped your self-imposed boundaries. If you want, that is. I can't say for certain that I'll retain my objectivity on this, though. Even now, I find myself thinking about nursing from Hillary. In a sexual way." Suzanne blushed. Grace did as well, but continued. "I am fairly sure that we will have some kind of relationship that is more than simply "harem sisters". These thoughts would be completely foreign to the Grace of three days ago. But I can and will promise to say something if I think you're out of line. Again, only if you want."

"I'll absolutely call you a jackass, Brewer, if you've earned it", Jane said with a grin.

"I can, too", said Louise. "Talk to you, that is. I'm not sure about the jackass part." Everyone chuckled.

All eyes fell to Suzanne. She swallowed. "I- I'll try", she finally managed to say.

"Thank you. Thank you so much", said Dave. Emotions threatened to overwhelm him. Not for the first time, he wondered how he would have handled himself had it been him in their situation. Looking again at Suzanne, he marveled at her maturity and poise. And her long, long legs. C'mon man! Like two seconds and you're already thinking about lifting that skirt again! A paragon of virtue. That's you. 100%. He hastily looked away. Jane, catching the movement, followed where his gaze had been and grinned.

*****

On the firing line, Hillary was flanked by the twins. Sage had told them to play to win. So be it. She was pleasantly surprised to find that there were no major personality conflicts between the women. Then again, constant drama between your harem is not what a Master like Dave-sama would like, I'll have to make sure that I don't cause him any stress in that department. Grimacing, she shook the intrusive thought from her mind. Looking at the targets, each of their scores was displayed prominently underneath the target, along with their name. At 21, Angela made the most sense to her as a target. Hillary fully expected the twins to gang up on her before going after each other. It's what she would have done if their situations had been reversed. With that thought, Hillary made up her mind. Angela would be the first to have to go. Hillary still had her three power shots. Idly, she wondered how to activate one. As she drew her bow, she felt it. She could feel the potential arousal that the arrow could cause. She sighted on Angela's target. In the previous rounds, Hillary had been sandbagging somewhat. For reasons all her own, Sage hadn't called her out on it, but Hillary was certain that the host knew that she wasn't giving it her all. That would change. For an amateur, the 7-ring was a worthy challenge. For someone who had once been mentioned as a possible junior Olympian (before a timely "mishap" caused her to miss qualifying), the 7-ring was child's play. If Hillary could hit the 7-ring once and the 8-ring or better, Angela would be eliminated. Not only that, Hillary would receive three more power shots for scoring the elimination. On Sage's command to fire, Hillary's arrow hit the line between the 9-ring and the 8-ring with a satisfying thunk! Unsurprisingly, two arrows appeared in her own target, scoring a 1 and a 5.

Hillary ===> 8+6 ===> 14 Total Points

Bethany ===> 13+0 ===> 13 Total Points

Angela ===> 21+18 ===> 39 Total Points

"Hey! How was her shot worth so much?", demanded Bethany.

"She used a power shot, my dear. If you recall, any hit inside the 7 ring or better will net you double the points. But anything outside the 7 ring will result in 14 points to YOU", Sage said.

"Well shit. Beth, I think I'm out after this one. Good luck." Turning to Hillary, Angela smiled. "No hard feelings. I understand." Grinning, she added, "But I still hope Beth beats you."

Hillary smiled back. "Thank you. I understand. And I appreciate what you said." Appreciate is an understatement, she thought. Objectively, Hillary knew that Sage wasn't playing when she told them to do their best. Hillary was fairly confident that even with a 2 to 1 advantage, she could win this contest. But knowing something and being okay with something were very different things. Hillary was relieved to see that at least one of the twins was approaching this with the same or similar mindset as her. This isn't personal. Just business.

"So how do I use my power shot?", asked Angela.

"Just think it when you draw your bow. You'll know", said Hillary.

Sage instructed the trio to nock and draw. "Fire!", came the command. Hillary's next arrow buried itself dead center in the bullseye. Surprisingly, one of the twins had managed a bullseye on Hillary's target. The other arrow was nowhere to be seen. "Dang it!", cried Bethany. Hillary followed her gaze. In the dirt, about halfway between the firing line and the target, Bethany's arrow stood sticking out of the ground.

Hillary ===> 14+20 ===> 34 Total Points

Bethany ===> 13+17 (total miss, power shot) ===> 30 Total Points

Angela ===> 39+20 ===> 59 Total Points (Eliminated)

"Ohhh shiiiiiiiiit!", panted Angela as she sank to her knees, hands shooting to her crotch. Hillary watched with curiosity as Bethany also reacted to the sensation of Angela's hands on her pussy.

"Ang! Hands off! I still have to shoot and I can't do that if you're playing with yourself!", Bethany barked at her sister. Instantly, Angela's hands jerked away from her pussy. She rolled over and lay panting, occasionally moaning in pleasure as the waves of euphoria crashed through her body.

As the scores had been updated, Hillary had likewise experienced a significant increase in her arousal. What had been a mildly pleasant buzz was most certainly stronger. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other in a futile attempt to get more comfortable or provide some measure of relief. This is gonna be harder than I thought. Looking at the scores, Hillary's earlier confidence had been shaken somewhat. She was now one arrow away from elimination, whereas Bethany was theoretically one shot away, but more likely two. Given that Beth's last arrow was planted halfway in between them and the targets, but Angela had just shown that even a rank amateur could still get lucky with a bullseye. Sage called for them to ready their next shot. On the command to fire, Hillary fought the urge to look away from where she was aiming to see where Bethany shot. Proper follow-through could make all the difference. Upon registering her hit, she looked at her own target. Bethany had just managed to squarely hit line between the 6-ring and the 7-ring. 48 Points. I'm still alive. Looking downrange, she squinted. She couldn't tell from where she was standing if she was completely in the 9-ring or if she had managed to sneak into the bullseye. Sage summoned Hillary's target with a gesture and the two contestants and the host all leaned in to examine the target. Gingerly, Sage pulled the arrow out. There, hidden by the arrow's shaft, but visible once it had been removed, was the slightest arc cutting into the bullseye ring. Hillary mentally exulted.

Hillary ===> 34+14 ===> 48 Total Points

Bethany ===> 30+20 ===> 50 Total Points (Eliminated)

Wordlessly, Bethany collapsed in the now familiar rush from a sudden and powerful orgasm. Angela appeared and helped her sister sit up, while gently rubbing her back and arms.

"Congratulations, Hillary! Well done!", Sage crowed. "In addition to the much-needed VP you've just earned, you have also earned immunity from a transformation this round!"

Hillary froze. In all of the excitement, she had completely forgotten about the immunity. She felt conflicted about her situation. As the person with the most transformations, she felt it was high time someone closed the gap with her. At the same time, she felt sicked at her previous thought. Wishing any of this on another person was just awful. Sage clapped her hands, and a scoreboard appeared, floating in the air.

Jane: 58 VP

Suzanne: 38 VP

Grace: 36 VP

Hillary: 33 VP (18 +15 for first place)

Louise: 32 VP

Bethany: 31 VP (20 +11 for second place)

Angela: 27 VP (20 + 7 for third place)

"I'd say this looks a lot more competitive at this point", said Sage. "But just remember, most of the easy stuff is out of the way. There's still a few first time bonuses lying around, but not very many. And remember, until everyone has performed a sex act once, there will be no VP for any repeats!" Sage spread her arms, encompassing the group. I think you all did admirably. Even those of you who decided to bail on trying to win. We'll be having a vote on your second challenge transformations coming up, so let's get somewhere a little more comfortable." And with a flash, the group found themselves back in the Friendship Center, sitting on the comfy couches and armchairs arranged in a rough circle, with Dave on one side, and opposite him, Sage.

"We'll be going in reverse order once again, starting with our lovely Jane! Remember, the lower you place, the more punishing the transformation will be!" Jane briefly considered punching Sage right in her lady garden, but decided against it. "Let's take a look, ladies and gentleman!"

Jane:

I'll Have What She's Having: Whenever Jane is involved with, or witnesses anyone in the harem having sex, there is a chance that she will gain a random transformation from one of the involved parties that she will keep until the next challenge. Once the season of Harem Hotel ends, the period of time will be from Sunday to Saturday, resetting every Sunday. Every time that this transformation fails to trigger, the chances of it triggering go up. (Punishment)

She'll Have What I'm Having: Jane is Dave's partner. The first one on this season to have sex with him. The reason that he can now check 'Threesome' off of his bucket list. Helping the other girls has been Jane's M.O. thus far. Should this option win, she will become increasingly interested in seeing the other harem members transformed into Dave's feminine ideals. (Corruption, Punishment)

Never Leave a (Wo)Man Behind: The threesome with Dave sparked something deep inside Jane. From now on, while sex between just her and the Master will always be enjoyable, she'll find that sex is always better when she brings a friend. (Group Sex, Punishment)

Suzanne

You're Speaking My Language: Suzanne has known who Jane is for most of her life. Her opinion of Jane has evolved from jealousy to respect to possibly something more after last night. It was Jane's selfless example that inspired Suzanne to follow Jane's lead and volunteer for sixth place. Suzanne will now receive the same, but slightly weaker transformations as Jane. (Hero, Punishment)

I See Your Lips Moving, But I Can't Understand You: Suzanne has had issues lately with accidentally exposing herself around the Master. Should this transformation win, She'll be unable to comprehend that she's exposed until the Master actually touches the exposed area. And for the purposes of this transformation, a mere poke just won't suffice. (Trope, Punishment)

It's Like I'm Not Even Here: Suzanne is a remarkably confident and capable young woman and is well-regarded among her peers. However, since being transported to this show, she has increasingly felt insecure around these older, beautiful, more experienced women. Over time, both the Master and the rest of the harem will begin to view her as a sex object to be used for their pleasure. She will find herself increasingly aroused at the thought of being used for sex by anyone in the harem or by the Master at the drop of a hat. Should one of her sisters or the Master use her in this fashion, she will be incapable of feeling anything but positive emotions about the experience. (Free Use, Punishment)

Louise

Anything She Can Do, I Can Do Better: The last several days have been tough on Louise. She was kidnapped to an alternate dimension, **** to compete on a reality show centered on sex between her and her ex (and other women), and she discovered that magic was real by way of being magically transformed herself, among other things. Additionally, she has lost all pre-Harem Hotel memories of her and the Master with regards to sex between them. She hasn't been able to avoid noticing that her harem sister's scores are rising, mostly due to sexual exploits with the Master. She will now feel increasingly compelled to find out what the Master's last sexual experience was and repeat it with him, but better. (Wing Woman, Ex-Wife)

Maybe She IS The Better Woman: Louise has been remarkably cool with the knowledge that her ex-husband is on his way to sleeping his way through a group of women. As she hears about what the other girls have done with the Master to gain points, she will grow increasingly aroused, and will start to believe that her place is beneath these other, better women. (Cuckquean)

Paint Me Like One Of Your French Girls: Jane is a looker, no doubt about it. And Dave never tired of looking at her. However, he's only human. And even though he now has seven (six, if you're counting the twins as the same) different women to lust over, occasionally his eye is going to wander. He can't help it. The women in his harem can't help it. With this transformation, Louise's physical appearance will change to whatever form the Master wants when they are together. This will be a conscious decision by the Master. Louise will be excited by the prospect of better pleasing the Master. (Ideal Woman)

Vote Here: https://strawpoll.com/YVyPmDeN7nN

Grace

Just The Cold Hard Facts: Grace prides herself on her logic and analytical skills. From now on, any harem member may convince Grace to do something if they can explain how it is logically a good thing, no matter how ridiculous the logic is. Standard exceptions apply. No ****, underage, harming others, etc. (Logic)

I DO Have Feelings!: Grace has a reputation as a quiet, reserved woman. She rarely engages in emotional displays. From now on, Grace will engage in public displays of affection with a member of the harem of her choice. With everyone else, she will maintain her stoic persona. This transformation will do nothing to change how Grace ACTUALLY feels towards her harem sisters or the Master, merely her outward display of emotion towards that person. She may change her target at will, but there is a 48=hour cooldown on this ability. (Ice Queen)

I'm Listening: Grace has been called cold and detached before. At times, she has prided herself on her ability to compartmentalize her emotions. Whenever Grace orgasms, she will enter a state of suggestibility. While she may resist certain suggestions that are wildly contrary to her nature, over time, she will be able to resist them less and less. She will have no conscious recollection of whatever was suggested to her, nor will she remember that she has this transformation. Additionally, no one will be able to tell her about this transformation. (Hypno)

Angela

I Think This'll Look Good On You: Of all the girls in the harem, Angela is the only one to have voluntarily pierced her nipples and her lady bits. She liked how they made her feel. She liked how they made her feel. Angela will begin trying to convince her harem sisters to get body jewelry or art of their own. Occasionally, the compulsion to do so will become overpowering. Should anyone find themselves with new jewelry or ink, they will be unable to bring themselves to be upset with Angela. (Body Mod)

It's Easier This Way: Angela and Bethany have taken to ordering whichever of them is the submissive one to go topless. From now on, the submissive twin will be incapable of covering up. Additionally, while people back home may not care for the display, no punishment or other negative consequence will come from being topless in public. This transformation will also apply to Bethany. (Exhibitionist)

Fun-Sized: Aside from Grace, the twins are the smallest women in the harem, and even then, the difference between them and Grace isn't very big. Angela has seen the size of the Master's new equipment. She worries about her ability to accommodate him. With this transformation, ALL of her orifices will gain the elasticity necessary to comfortably take the Master's improved cock. This transformation will automatically apply to Bethany, as this is a sex-related transformation. (Twin, Stretchy)

Vote Here: https://strawpoll.com/61gDmWVkWZw

Bethany

Reverse!: Angela may, at her discretion, cause the dom/sub dynamic to switch between her and her sister. The result of using this ability is that at the next time that the twins would normally switch, they will instead retain whatever role they currently have. Bethany may not have more than 24 straight hours in either role. (Twin, Boon)

It's a Twin Thing: Bethany will be able to communicate telepathically with her sister. The more turned on she or her sister is, the clearer the communication will be. Additionally, ONLY Bethany will be able to pick up the thoughts of others around her, provided it is a strong emotion. (Telepath, Twin. Boon)

Wonder-Twin Powers, Activate!: While Bethany is the dominant twin, she may temporarily alter Angela's body for the duration of her submissive phase. These alterations may range from purely cosmetic (larger breasts, skin color, etc) to more comprehensive and exotic (the tongue is now located inside the vagina, can only gain nutrition from sex fluids, etc) . There must be at least 24 hours between applications of the same alteration. Upon swapping roles, the temporary alterations will switch to Bethany. She will be unable to remember this transformation's flipside, nor will anyone be able to tell her about it. Upon taking the submissive role, Bethany will remember this transformation's complete description. Angela will NOT be able to inflict any changes on Bethany. (Shapeshifter, Twin, Boon)

Silence greeted Sage. "So, Master. What do you think? I think we'd all like to hear which one you prefer for each woman."

Dave sat, mind racing. How on earth can I look at them and tell them how I'd like to change them? I know that I have committed to doing my part, but what the fuck? This is beyond the pale. Nah... that's just you being a pussy. You're the MASTER. If you don't want to think of this as your privilege (which it totally is, btw), then consider it your OBLIGATION. You owe it to them to voice your opinion on these options. Otherwise, something that you might not care for could win, thereby diminishing the attractiveness of that girl to you. And if you're not attracted to her, it's unlikely you're going to be able to fuck her. So go on, do your part. Let them know. You never know... some of them might be into the same shit. But seriously, Brewer. It's time you stopped being a pussy. Dave's dwindling conscience had no answer to this "argument". He had an obligation? To further corrupt these women? And turn them into your ideal sex partners? Fuck yeah, baby! This is a moral imperative, my dude. Even your bitch-ass conscience can't deny that you will have to take ownership of this situation at some point. Because knowing what we know about Sage, I think she's running out of patience for you clutching your pearls. Man. The. Fuck. Up. Hell, at least two of them are already predisposed towards liking what you like...

"Hello? Earth to Dave?" Sage's smile was fading. "I'm going to need you to answer the question, Dave. It's going to happen one way or the other."

Dave's mouth opened and shut, no sound coming out. Finally, he managed to stammer out, "I-I have no c-c-clue! I have no idea what these women think about them. I-"

"One day, Dave, you will learn. It's better to do what I ask instead of me MAKING you do it. I was going to let you off with just saying which one you liked. Now, you're going to EXPLAIN why you picked each one, please." Sage's smile never touched her eyes. "I apologize for interrupting, Master. You were saying?"

Dave heard himself start talking. He could no more stop talking than he could lift a car with his mind. He thought to cover his mouth, but found himself unable to move. The only muscles he COULD move were his eyes. Frantically, he looked from face to face, dreading the judgment he knew would be directed his way. "I liked the threesome one for Jane. Last night was really hot, and I'd really like to do that again." His eyes flicked to Jane, expecting the worst. To his surprise, he found her grinning at him, and mouthed the words, "We will". "Umm... For Suzanne, I think the free use one is hot. The idea that at any time, I could just walk up and bend her over while she's going about her business really turns me on. I try to treat women with respect, but a part of me finds it undeniably hot to occasionally objectify them." If it is possible to die from shame, I am about to find out. Dave squeezed his eyes shut, refusing to look at Suzanne. Belatedly, he realized that he had stopped speaking. Fuck me. Is she not going to let this end until I look each one of them in the eye as I tell them how I wish they were different? Sage, you are a first-rate cunt. Sighing, Dave opened his eyes, and **** himself to look at Suzanne. Again, he was surprised to see a small smile on her blushing face. Her nipples were clearly tenting her camp t-shirt. Holy fuck! She doesn't seem to hate me! Remember, dumbass? She's gonna find herself turned on by your turn-ons. For her, this is invaluable intelligence she's gathering. She's gonna learn ALL kinds of shit to blow your mind! Dave hated himself for the spike in arousal that thought gave him. "I think the ideal woman for Louise is pretty hot. I think all of these women are hot, but the idea that she could look like anyone else is really hot." He tried to stop himself from speaking. "And the fact that I'm the one who can change her really turns me on." Ashamed, he looked at Louise, who merely shook her head, grinning at him with a mock put-upon expression on her face. "I think the post-hypnotic suggestion is really hot. I would turn me on knowing that I could give Grace a sexual suggestion and she wouldn't be aware of it. It's so wrong to override someone's agency like that, and the taboo just does something for me." Grace's expression showed him nothing. She merely nodded and blinked. "For Angela, the fun-sized one sounds good. I had similar concerns once you upgraded my junk. Painful sex is a serious turn-off for me. I want to know that my partner is enjoying it as much as I am." For once, he was able to meet someone's eyes without feeling overwhelming shame. Angela gave him a discrete thumb's up and a wink. "And for Bethany, the Wonder Twin one. Kind of for the same reason as Louise. But also because it has the potential for off the wall crazy shit. Just thinking about fucking her while a tongue licks my cock inside her pussy has given me major wood." Mortified, Dave found himself standing up and gesturing to the prominent bulge in his shorts. Sitting down, he continued. "It's also hot to me that there's an element of karma to it. That one of them won't have to endure something the other doesn't." Finally regaining control of himself, Dave covered his face with his hands. "I can't believe you fucking did that to me, Sage", he growled.

"Did what? I said 'please', didn't I? I'm sure we ALL appreciated some insight into your thoughts." Sage's smile lit up the room. "In a change of pace, I'm giving you the day to yourselves. Tonight, at dinner, we'll have the grand reveal. Enjoy your days, my dears! Ta ta!" Sage pointed a finger gun at Dave, and "firing" it, disappeared, leaving an embarrassed and awkward Dave alone with his harem.

A/N: The polls will stay up until May 26, 6 PM US Central time. I've gone back and forth on this, but I decided to crowdsource ideas if there are any you'd like to see. I'll go ahead and tell you that I'm not planning on any animal girls. There MAY be some temp tfs, but nothing permanent. I'm also not planning on going crazy on breast expansion. But if you have read this far and you still feel like making a suggestion, you can do so here: https://strawpoll.com/GJn47oPRbyz

It's getting harder and harder to come up with truly unique tf ideas. So thanks and apologies to other authors whose work inspired my writing. I've tried to be as original as possible.
