Week 15 Concludes

As you sit in your chair waiting for the gameshow to begin, you notice Rebekah biting her lip. She’s been particularly nice to you today. You know she’s trying to make up for fighting with you yesterday when you tried to tell her she needed to make an appointment with the clinic at least, if not her own doctor, now she’s pregnant. She’d tried to blow it off, telling you she didn’t have time between streaming, communicating with the sponsors about potential photo ops, schoolwork and College Spread. You told her some things took precedence now and that was where the fight started.

The truth is, she has been increasingly busy. She’s barely had time this week to spend with you much at all. How she’s keeping everything going at once, you don’t know, and you remain impressed with her strength.

You made her favourite support last night - fatty bacon, fried tomatoes, hash browns and baked beans. Apparently she learned about it when she visited England a couple of years ago and heard about their Full English Breakfast. When she’d told you all it missed here was something called black pudding you were puzzled. When you learned what it was you almost heaved. Then again, such a nasty-sounding but delicious dish was somehow very Rebekah.

You’d tried to reassure Rebekah that it was okay that she’d snapped at you. Still she seemed to be focusing on you today, making sure you had everything you wanted. She hadn’t streamed or done school work at all. She’d even agreed to make an appointment at the university clinic.

And now it was time for Rhett to announce the start of the show. Claire was already deep into the second number, a roaring piece you didn’t recognize but epitomized power, drama and looming conquest. You gave Rebekah a smile and she returned it, if somewhat uncertainly. She had a focus about her again though. Her game strategy face: ready, aware, watching. You were still curious why she’d had you score the absolute lowest possible number of points in the entire game, with a kiss on a Two. You only hoped you’d learn soon and it was for a good reason.

Rhett steps forward and the spotlight focuses on him. “All right my delightful debaucher, it’s time for the spread! And boy do we have a spread for you today! As you know, week 15 is the penultimate week before the finale this year, so every play, every point, every strategic move is critical to our players.”

The screen behind you switches to show the scoreboard. “Right now, it looks like Milo is the only one sitting pretty and even he can’t be that comfortable when it’s our returning champion, Cassie Li, and Mr. Impossible himself in pursuit of that top spot. So without further ado, let’s see what happened this week.

The screen changes again to show the stage with Tabby already naked and painted like a tiger. You’re holding her by the shoulders.

“The Phantom rode again this week,” says Rhett. “This time with scenery, paints, and the Two of Hearts, Tabby Cheevers…”

The video plays. You spin her, lean into her, and begin to fuck her. The crowd goes crazy, especially those supporting you. It’s hot, it’s intense and it’s the kind of thing College Spread eats up. Rhett lets the video play a little longer than usual before stopping it.

“The Two of Hearts may not be a high value card,” says Rhett. “But she sits nicely in your growing heart flush, not to mention on your dick. So, what challenge are you going to declare this as, Phantom? Public sex, since you have a witness? BDSM, since you’re obviously dominating her here? What…?”

“Kiss,” you say.

“A what?”

“A kiss challenge.”

The gasp from the crowd is almost more audible than their cheers were a few moments ago. They all know you need points more than anyone else, which makes the play as baffling to them as it is to you. Once again you look to Rebekah and HOPE she knows what she’s doing.

“You did all THAT for a KISS challenge?” asks Rhett.

“Nope,” you reply with a grin. “I did a kiss challenge because that’s what my manager said I had to do. I did all THAT because Tabby is a damn freak… and fucking sexy with it. And you have her as a TWO? Might want to look at that rating, Rhett. Is anyone else seeing someone undesirable up there?”

That gets a roar of mixed laughter and applause. Rhett grins and raises his hand.

“So once again our fresher comes in as the youngest, least experienced player, and decides to rewrite the deck? You turned a Three into our wonderful Ten-rated organist. You had us eliminate a ten from the deck. Now you’re trying to turn a Two into something else?”

You shake your head. “Nope, I’m just showing you what apparently the rest of the campus is missing.”

Out of the corner of your eye you notice Selene nod and Cassie break a slight smile. There are whoops and hollers from people standing around watching. Whether you win or lose, you’ve certainly made yourself memorable. You just hope you’ve done the same for Tabby.

“Okay,” says Rhett. “I know you’re going to hold her in the hopes of continuing to build your flush. So let’s move on. Next, is our little **** boy, Milo. Let’s see what Selene had him do this week.”

The scene shifts to show a naked Milo leaning across a chair, his face scrunched in pain. Behind him, Hailey Yazzie leans into his butt, a series of straps around her lower body obviously holding a strap-on in place. There’s a considerable amount of wincing among the men gathered in the frat house and Milo himself shifts uncomfortably in his chair.

“The Nine of Spades,” says Rhett. “Hailey Yazzie and a very definite anal sex challenge. The card doesn’t really fit with your boy’s hand, Dr Ravensmoor, so are you holding her or not?”

Selene pauses a moment. “We can only take 2 more cards anyway, so we’ll hold her. It gives us more flexibility when choosing our hand.”

“And finally,” says Rhett, “Our queen, Cassie Li. Who could have imagined at the start of the game last fall that she would be fighting with the fresher for last place? What do you think of the competition this year, Cassie?”

She savors a sip of water before answering. “Compared to the year I won… It’s HOT!”

The last word reverberates through the room, the volume pumped up. Behind you the scene shifts again. This time it shifts to a classroom. Cassie stands there in publicly legal fetishwear. She’s presenting to the class, speaking about BDSM, negotiation and consent. Dr. Carmen Alvarez sits to the side, listening. The classroom seems rapt, listening to her. Cassie definitely has command of the class.

There are some boos around you from people once again denied the sexual spectacle they expect from the Spread.

“What kind of challenge is THAT, Cassie?” asks Rhett.

“**** contract,” she says. “Specifically, I signed myself as the doctor’s **** to present two classes in her Interpersonal Dynamics and Sexuality class on BDSM. She gets to direct the content, my dress, etc. It’s been fun.”

“A **** contract on the Empress of Hearts herself,” says Rhett. “And for those of you frustrated that you only got to see our queen presenting a class…”

The scene on the screen changes again. This time it shows Dr. Alvarez and Cassie wrapped in each other’s arms in a bed. There’s no holding back between the two women as they pleasure one another.

“The good doctor provided us with footage of how they relaxed afterwards for our delight and delectation.”

Now the cheers come, loud and rapturous enough to make the walls bounce.

“Last week the fresher’s manager, Rebekah, managed to screw up your hand. Dr. Alvarez would be your second Empress. I assume you’re going to hold her?”

Cassie nods.

“And there you have it,” says Rhett. “The penultimate week concludes and things are still looking very tight for the Phantom and Queen Cassie. While Milo seems untouchable, thanks to the guidance of the woman he once labeled ‘The Evil Witch.’ Let’s see what week 16 holds in store.”
