We can build it from the ground up

By the time the date came to an end and Nick returned to the Master’s Suite, he had two very sweaty and excited women on his hands.

Literally. Rose and Dawn were clinging to his arms so tightly it felt like they were humping his hands.

“Come on, you two,” he urged them both as he stepped out of the elevator. “Control yourselves. Mary isn’t going to be happy if I come back with you both acting completely dick-crazy, okay?”

“Hehe, how vulgar,” Rose tittered. She tried to put on a seductive and amused face, but the raw desire pouring out of her sabotaged it quite significantly.

Dawn just smirked. Her brain was too fried to even attempt words at the moment.

Nick sighed. Upgrading Dawn’s transformation had been an instinctive decision on his part, and he’d been looking forward to what would result in bed tonight. But before they could get to the fun part, the trio had to make it through the rest of the evening first, and that seemed like a significant hurdle with the two of them acting like a couple of drunk schoolgirls.

“…If not for Mary’s sake, or for my sake, at least think about Ella, alright?” He pleaded. “She’s going to be really freaked out if she sees the two of you acting like this.”

Assuming Ella was the one who would be cleaning his room. There was just as big of a possibility that it could be Cinder, and if that was the case… things could really get intense.

Rose smirked. “I don’t think she should be throwing stones in that plastic house of hers.” She had a knowing gleam in her eye that Nick was having trouble deciphering.

Dawn grunted. “It’s a glass house,” she muttered under her breath. “The saying is ‘people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones’ you realize?”

Rose looked at her like she was a moron. “Why would anyone throw stones if they lived in a glass house? The walls would break! You’re not making any sense, Dawn.”

Dawn’s ears twitched. “That’s exactly the point-! …Ugh, never mind,” she groaned, shaking her head. “You moron…”

“Hey!” Rose sniffed, crossing her arms over her chest. “That’s not nice! Don’t say that!”

Dawn just rolled her eyes. “Look, it’s gonna be fine,” she said, trying to maintain a straight face. “I can handle it. I know how to keep my cool. I’m just… enjoying cutting loose for a little bit, that’s all this is,” she assured him.

“Right, and I’m a very good actress,” Rose said, puffing out her chest with pride. “I can definitely pretend like those pheromones aren’t affecting me in the slightest.”

In spite of the girls’ statements, they both tightened their grip on Nick’s arms, pressing their breasts even further into him.

Nick sighed and hung his head. He’d been enjoying this heavenly feeling all the way back to the hotel, but all good things must come to an end. Resigned to whatever awaited him behind this door, he stepped forward with both girls tightly embracing him, and entered his room.

Upon entering the Master’s Suite, he found that Ella was occupied by something else entirely; so much so that she didn’t even notice him at first.

“Let me do the cleaning!” Nola insisted, holding her hips and puffing out her cheeks. “I’m the one who’s good at it! And it’s my job to help Mary!”

“B-but my transformation says I have to clean the room,” Ella said. For once, she wasn’t backing down to pressure. She may have taken crap from a lot of people on this show, but even she drew the line at taking orders from Nola.

“Listen, both of you, it’s fine!” Mary was standing in the kitchen doorway. She rubbed her temples and tried not to lose her temper. “Stop fighting, and try and clean the room together, okay? I don’t have time to supervise the two of you and also cook dinner. Nick is going to be back any… …Oh.”

She straightened up and put on her best wifely smile as soon as she realized Nick had returned. “Welcome home, dear!”

“Uh, yeah, I’m back,” Nick said, stepping forward. Rose and Dawn were still clinging to him, but if Mary noticed she didn’t mention it. “How are… things going in here?”

He looked at Ella and Nola, who both turned to look at him. Their expressions were complete opposites of one another. Nola was bristling with glee and excitement seeing him with two girls hanging off his arms, while Ella looked stunned and a little irritated.

“Things are going fine,” Holly called from the couch. For once, she was vegging out, not seeing a need to put any effort into things when there were so many other people to pick up slack here. “Ella’s picking a fight with the help. They both want to prove to you they can be the better maid, so you’ll reward whichever one of them does a better job cleaning.”

She said that so matter-of-factly that Nick almost forgot for a second that he was dealing with Holly. It was only when he saw Ella’s aghast expression that he remembered he should take everything his perverted little sex **** said with a grain of salt.

“I-I’m just trying to do my job!” Ella sputtered, her caramel skin flushing. She gave Nick a sidelong glance. “Besides, it looks like… he’s got that covered,” she added.

Nick thought for a moment he detected a trace of bitterness in her voice, but that couldn’t be.

“I see we have a guest tonight,” Mary noted, glancing at Dawn and Rose. She’d expected Rose, obviously, but Dawn was a new wrinkle.

“Looks like he’s picking up strays,” Holly said with a grin. She hopped off the couch and skipped over to join the others. “Can we keep her, mom? Pleeeeaasssseee?!” She pretended to beg, clasping her hands together and looking up at Mary with big watery eyes.

Mary looked unimpressed. Ella made another face, while Nola giggled cheerfully.

“…Care to share what’s going on?” Mary asked, turning back to Nick with a blank expression on her face. “Because it looks to me like you three got things started a little early…”

She tried to keep her own feelings under control, but seeing Dawn and Rose looking like they were practically on the brink of orgasm was getting her a little worked up herself.

“We’re just having fun with him, that’s all,” Rose said, letting go of Nick and walking up to the redhead with a sneer on her plump lips. She tried her best to put on a triumphant face, but she was still way too aroused to look anything but sex-crazy.

Mary grimaced. “…I see.”

“Is it getting hot in here?” Ella asked, fanning herself. She tugged on the collar of her uniform and squirmed a little. Ever since the three of them returned, it felt like the temperature in the room had been slowly increasing, but that was just… insane, wasn’t it?

Seeing Ella’s flushed complexion reminded Nick why he had been so worried in the first place.

“Oh, shit,” he muttered under his breath. Mary opened her mouth to remind him to watch his language, but Nick cut her off before she could. “Guys, I need to tell you something, um… Dawn here…”

Dawn let go of Nick before he could say anything further.

“I talked with Rose,” she said loudly, drowning out Nick’s attempt to explain the situation. “She said it was alright if I participated in tonight’s…” She glanced over at Ella and Mary. “…Activities.”

Mary got it. Ella didn’t for a second. When she did, her eyes widened and her blush intensified.

“So, uh… I’m… I’m going to go freshen up!” Dawn scurried off to the bathroom, her tail flicking wildly behind her.

“…Well that was weird,” Nola commented. She was looking a little flushed herself.

“Finally,” Rose murmured, fanning herself. “I don’t regret inviting her up here, but it’s nice to have a chance to breathe for a moment, you know?” She flopped down on a golden armchair and let out a sigh of relief.

“Can someone please tell me what’s going on?” Mary asked. She was feeling really hot under the collar, and it felt like her breasts were engorging with milk again even though she’d already taken care of milking herself today.

Which didn’t go unnoticed by Nola. Her hand quickly shot up into the air. “Mary, are you producing again?” She asked cheerfully. “If you like, I would be happy to help clear all that out!”

“No! No.” Mary shook her head firmly and held her hand up. “That’s just fine, Nola. Thank you for offering, but no. No thank you.”

“Oh…” Nola nodded. She looked a little disappointed.

“Thank you,” Ella said, sighing in relief herself. She really didn’t want to have to see that.

“So again, what’s going on?” Mary turned to Nick.

Nick scratched his cheek. “It’s a long story,” he said. “Basically, Sylvia upgraded one of Dawn’s transformations, and now, well… she’s…”

“The pheromone transformation,” Rose helpfully mentioned. “The one where she gets really aroused whenever she’s around Nick.”

Nick’s blush deepened as Mary’s eyes widened in realization. “…Oh. Uh… so that one, yeah… I see… Wow.” She had been around Dawn enough in that state to realize what was going on, unlike Ella, who seemed really confused and distracted.

“Is she… okay?” Ella asked timidly. She was used to Dawn acting composed and mature, so seeing her like that…

“The upgrade means she’s pumping out pheromones herself,” Rose indelicately explained. “She was clinging to Nick all afternoon, so she’s basically in heat. And I ended up getting hit by it as well, so… you know.”

She tugged on the hem of her shirt, showing off some more of her sweat-glazed cleavage.

Mary blushed. “You… you’re always thinking about stuff like that, anyway,” she said petulantly, shooting Rose a disapproving look.

Rose just smirked.

“Weird,” Holly said. “I don’t really feel all that different.”

Nick rolled his eyes. “Yeah, well, you wouldn’t,” he pointed out.

“Wait a sec!” Ella’s eyes widened with horror as she finished putting together what the others were saying. She looked frantically from Nick to Mary and then to Rose. “Does that mean… Dawn’s going to be…?!”

These feelings she was having, the ones that made her feel all warm and thumpy ever since Nick arrived, that… that was because of Dawn!?

Her fingers scrambled to her wrist out of instinct. “Thwap!”

“Don’t worry, knowing Dawn, she’s probably taking care of the problem right now,” Rose laughed, glancing over at the bathroom door. “She’ll come back out good as new!”

Rose wasn’t exactly correct. Dawn was trying to calm her nerves, but not the way that the actress was insinuating.

“It’s fine, you can control yourself,” Dawn said, taking a deep breath. She exhaled so hard she steamed up the mirror. When it cleared, her reflection looked just as frazzled as it did before, much to her chagrin.

Still… she couldn’t believe what she looked like right now. It wasn’t just that her breasts had grown a little bigger thanks to Vivian, or that she looked taller in high heels. Everything about her just looked so much more… adult. Could it have been because of all the effort she put into her appearance for this date? Doing her makeup, making her hair look nice, wearing stylish clothes… she’d really gone all out for this.

Or maybe it was because her makeup was a little smudged from her sweat. Her hair was a little out of place. Those stylish clothes were slightly rumpled, as if she’d just finished having…

“Stop that!” Dawn lightly smacked her cheek. “Don’t get distracted.” She needed to concentrate, and she couldn’t do that if she was focusing on how she looked like she’d just finished getting plowed good and hard.

Dawn squirmed, rubbing her thighs together. It’s okay. The more time you spend away from Nick, the more these urges will calm themselves down. You don’t need to freak out or get worked up, everything will be normal. Just stay in here as long as it takes!

She raised her eyes and glanced at the shower in the mirror. Yeah, a nice, cold shower was just what she needed to calm herself down and soothe her frazzled nerves. It was a great way to reset her emotional state.

…But then all her hard work would be for nothing, wouldn’t it? Her makeup would come off, the effort she put into her hair would go to waste…

No, can’t shower. Even though that would definitely kill this… horny stink! That wasn’t the way she would usually describe pheromones, but right now it was the best description her worn-out brain could come up with. She shook her head firmly again. She didn’t want her hard work to go to waste; she was going to make the most of this until her emotions settled!

“Nyaaahg!?” A knock on the door tore a screech from her lips and she jumped into the air. If not for her gymnast reflexes catching her, she would have probably broken her ankle landing on those high heels of hers.

“Hey, you good in there?” Rose called from inside.

“Y-yeah, I’m fine!” Dawn snapped. “Go… go away! I’m just calming myself down, that’s all!”

Silence came from the other side of the door. But Dawn could still sense the presence of the other woman. Maybe it was her animal instincts kicking in, or just her paranoia that Rose was scheming something, as usual.

“…Well, don’t get too ahead of us,” Rose finally said, her voice dripping with amusement. “Don’t you want Nick to have a chance at working those urges out of you?”

It took Dawn’s genius brain way longer to process what the other woman was saying than she was proud of.

When she finally figured it out, her jaw hit the floor.

“What!?” She screeched, stiffening up. “Are you saying what I think you’re-!? NO! I’m not doing anything like that!”

She crumpled up a hand towel and chucked it uselessly at the closed door, as Rose cackled on the other side.

“Rrrrgh!” Dawn had to get these feelings under control, soon! Before Rose made a complete mockery of her! …Or at least before it was time for dinner.

Rose stepped back from the bathroom door with a satisfied expression on her face.

“…Dawn’s doing just fine,” she chirped, turning back to the others. “She’s got the problem well ‘in hand’, if you get my meaning.”

She winked blatantly at Nick, who rolled his eyes at her tawdry innuendo. Nola giggled and Mary sighed, and Holly snickered as well.

Ella turned red and looked down, just wishing her job would be over for today.

“Dawn might be affected by her pheromones, but come on,” Mary said, crossing her arms over her chest. “She’s not going to do something like that with all of us here.”

“Oh, you’re no fun,” Rose pouted.

Mary ignored that. “Question, Rose, I’ve been wondering, why exactly are you dressed like Morgana right now?” She asked, running her eyes up and down the other woman’s outfit. She wasn’t at all impressed with the blonde’s attempt to channel the dark arts. It was like Rose had made a clothing choice specifically to slight her faith.

“This? Oh, it wasn’t my idea,” Rose said, doing a little twirl. “One of my bounties this round wanted me to wear another girl’s style for a full day, and this is what was chosen for me. Still, I think I make a very sexy witch, don’t you agree, Nick?”

With a coo, Rose sidled up to Nick and rubbed her chest against him.

Nick blushed. “Yeah,” he said with a nod. “You look really amazing, Rose.”

Rose’s face lit up with glee.

Mary was glad for her, she really was, but she didn’t like how Rose demanded to be the center of attention all the time. Still, this WAS her date night with Nick; Mary should get out of her hair for now and let them have their time together.

“Okay then,” she said with a sigh, heading for the kitchen. “I’ll get started on dinner, then…”

Rose’s eyes widened. She tugged on Nick’s shirt and gave him a pointed look.

Nick looked back at her for a moment, confused, and then he remembered what they’d talked about before.

“A-actually, Mary, wait up a second,” he said.

Mary paused, and turned back to look at her husband. She crinkled her nose in confusion. “Yeah? What is it?” She asked.

Nick blushed again. He glanced at Rose. “Um… on our date today, actually, Rose asked if, um, she could cook dinner for me tonight, and I said that it was okay,” he informed her.

Mary blinked, taken aback. “…Rose did?” She asked, looking incredulously at the other woman.

“That’s right,” Rose said, puffing up her chest and holding her head up with pride. “Don’t look so surprised! You know I’m an exceptional chef!”

“…Well, yeah, I know you’re a good cook, but I just didn’t think you would actually cook a meal for somebody else without asking for something in return,” Mary said, her eyes widening. “You aren’t just going to be cooking for Nick, right?”

Rose glared at her. “This negative mental image you have of me is really rather mean, Mary!” She huffed. “I’ll be happy to cook for everyone. I’m just going to need Nick’s help in the kitchen.”

“What?! Me?” Nick reacted in surprise. “You… you want my help?”

Mary was surprised to hear that, too.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Rose said, nodding. She winked at him, and then turned back to Mary. “You know, just the two of us. Working together. Cooking dinner. As a couple.”

Ah. Suddenly, this made a lot more sense to Nick.

Mary’s jaw dropped. Her eyes bulged in surprise. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing! The nerve of Rose, to say something like-!

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Rose was just trying to goad her, that was all. She was trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

“Oh, I almost forgot, before we get to cooking…” Rose rushed past Mary and surveyed one of the bookshelves. “…Here we go!”

She put something down on one of the shelves. It was the stuffed bear she’d made at the craft store. She adjusted it a few times, making sure it was angled correctly so its head was turned to face the bed.

Mary looked confused. “What are you doing?” She asked, walking over to the other woman.

“This is Beary,” Rose said proudly, gesturing to the bear that bore a striking resemblance to Mary, right down to using red yarn for the pigtails. “I’m gonna have her sitting here for tonight, so she can watch Nick and I make love. Completely helpless to do anything about it.”

Rose twisted her lips into a triumphant sneer as Mary just stared at her in shock. Her eye twitched as she tried to keep the smile on her face, all the while Holly fought the urge to burst out laughing at the act of petty spite.

“Oh, that’s too much, Rose!” She sniggered. “That’s way too much!”
