When We Touch, Don't Ever Let Me Go

"Come on, Emma, it'll help you lighten up a little bit!" Charlotte urged, trying to pull the young girl to her feet.

"How did we get here?" Emma thought to herself. "I was trying to get her to talk to Becca, one thing led to another, and now she's trying to get me to join her on the dance floor."

"One song, that's all I want you to do, just do one song with me, then we'll go talk to Becca," Charlotte pleaded.

"Fine, I'll join you for one," Emma conceded, jumping to her feet and walking over to Charlotte.

"Yay!" Charlotte cheered as she started the music again.

"Well, that's one way of dealing with it," Kathryn said as she saw the two young girls having fun outside.

Her method of preparing for tomorrow had been to think of all the possible possibilities, laying them out along the floor like a **** board, connecting them to her previous three options and seeing what possible paths Kendra could take her in.

After trying to systematically rule them out, she got a little overwhelmed with the sheer number of possibilities.

"This is...she's crafty," Kathryn mentioned to the empty room. "There could be a million more possibilities for what she does with me. So far, I mean, it could be any of these, or something completely out of the blue that neither I nor anyone else sane would've thought about."

She glanced out the window again, hearing the bass of the music and seeing them dancing around like they had no cares in the world.

"Maybe...a break wouldn't hurt," she conceded. "I could join them for maybe five minutes, then it's back to this...mess."

As Sara laid down on the bed, basically on top of Turner, she started slowly taking her dress off, flinging it over to the far corner of the room, the same place that Emma had discarded her clothing nine days ago.

"What was it that she said as my introduction?" Sara whispered, referring to Kendra on the night she was brought here. "Oh, right, it was that I was the first person you ever fantasized about. Care to make that chapter of your life complete? Do what you wanted to do all those years ago?"

She was taking a little creative license on what had actually been said, but Turner couldn't deny that she was wrong. He indeed had fantasized about Sara back when she used to come over to his house to spend time with his sister. He always had wondered if anything would've ever come around through that if he'd decided to pursue that desire. He really did want to do what he'd wanted to back then.

The only thing though, was the same thing that had been at the back of his mind this entire "vacation", and he decided to vocalize it this time.

"What about Becca?" he asked Sara, certainly putting a damper on things.

"It doesn't matter what Becca thinks right now, because you and I were made for each other," Sara answered, sounding like she was speaking straight out of a Hallmark movie.

That wasn't the solution Turner wanted to hear, but he took it anyways, arching his head back up to meet hers again to continue the makeup session that they had continued from the field outside.

As the night wore on and on, Sara found it more and more difficult to hide her arousal behind a mask. Especially when Turner and her were already tangled up with one another, it didn't seem like as much of an issue as when she was originally trying to seduce him outside.

Turner took the initiative for once and moved one of his hands from her upper back to her tits, experimentally massaging one of them. He was rewarded as Sara took a sharp inhale, which was followed up by a low, drawn-out, intermittent moan.

Turner Touched Her Breasts: +3 VP!

"Fuuuuuuuuuck, that never felt so good," Sara said, although she really didn't have much experience with this sort of thing.

She responded by unclasping her bra in the back and letting it fall onto the blankets between the two of them, allowing Turner to have better access.

Showed Turner Her Breasts: +3 VP!

"Wait wait wait wait," Turner put his hand up, getting control back. "I know, I know that I shouldn't think about Becca right now, I know that I should just cater to your whims or whatever, but I don't think we should keep going. That's what Kendra wants us to do here. She wants us to go all the way with one another, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want that too. But I don't think we should. At least for now. Later in the game, it's probably going to be impossible for either you or I to hold back. I just think that, while we still have some control, we should cherish it, no?"

Sara was taken aback, but once her head started clearing again, she began to make sense of what he said.

"I-I agree," she said. "It's also not like I need any more points right now, I've even pulled ahead of Abby. I do think we should at least wait, maybe we can make it even more special that way."

"I will say that this was one of the most special dates I've been on," Turner admitted. "I always wanted to go look at the stars, but Paige wasn't up to it when I was with her, and Becca isn't up to it right now."

"We just don't have to tell Becca about what happened," Sara winked. "Let her figure it out for herself."

---

Both Sara and Turner were awoken by the sound of someone loudly playing what sounded a bugle in the courtyard. Turner limply stood up, looked out the window at the bright sunrise, and saw that it was none other than Kendra who was sitting in the center with the horn.

"It's Kendra, we should probably get down there," Turner told Sara.

"Ugh, is it transformation time already?" Sara grumbled. "I thought we would have more time today before this. What is it, like 5 in the morning?"

"Um...according to this clock, it's actually nine," Turner pointed out. "Although, I have noticed that time on this island is a little wonky, so it might actually be five back on Earth."

"I am not ready for this," Sara complained.

"Everybody, including Turner, please join me at the courtyard in fifteen minutes!" they heard Kendra say over what sounded like a megaphone.

"Why can't she just teleport us there?" Sara wondered.

"She probably can, it just might be another power trip of hers," Turner rolled his eyes.

The duo walked down to the front of the hotel, sharing a knowing look as they saw everybody else assembling at the center.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" Kendra said once Emma, the typical last one, sat down.

"Did you have to do this so early in the morning?" Emma groaned, mirroring the sentiment of Sara.

"Of course!" Kendra fake-smiled. "We're burning daylight if we don't do it now; daylight that we're gonna need for the challenge later today!"

"We're doing the challenge today too?" Abby asked incredulously.

"What, would you rather me give you 24 hours to stew in your transformations?" Kendra asked, to a few nods. "Well...too bad! We're doing them both today! You should be grateful, it's one fewer day you have to spend 'in this forsaken hellhole', eh Kathryn?"

Kathryn didn't dignify that with a response, just rolling her eyes.

"Speaking of the events that unfolded during the week, let's take the opportunity to check the current scoreboard!" Kendra carried on, ignoring Kathryn's snubbing of her statement. "Oh, and there you are, Kathryn! You're in last place with 2 points! Looks like someone didn't capitalize on their 'I Like It Like That' transformation, you really could've had some fun with that one!"

"I could've, but then again, you could've chosen not to bring us here in the first place," Kathryn shot back.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, the whole shebang," Kendra mimed someone talking with her hand. "Anyways, here's the rest of the placings!"

1. Paige (18 VP)
2. Sara (14 VP)
3. Abby (12 VP)
4. Mandy (8 VP)
5. Liam (7 VP)
6. Lauren (6 VP)
7. Emma (6 VP)
8. Becca (5 VP)
9. Charlotte (3 VP)
10. Kathryn (2 VP)

"Wow, y'all really need to get better at this sorta thing," Kendra scoffed. "Mandy is still in the top half and she didn't even get any more points after the challenge."

"It's kinda difficult to want to get points with someone here," Kathryn noted, not wanting to say it.

"That just makes the game more dynamic!" Kendra responded. "Dealing with the girlfriend is one of the staples of some of the seasons of Harem Hotel!"

"Not everyone wants to deal with her, though, y'know?" Emma added.

"I'm RIGHT HERE, you know," Becca angrily mentioned.

"Anyways, Paige, you continue to be our high climber, going from 9 to 18 VP in the first week, and to top it all off, you're immune from transformation!" Kendra moved on. "How does that make you feel?"

"Secure, I guess?" Paige half-asked.

"As for the rest of you, though, you do have to go through another round of transformations," Kendra started. "Starting with you, Emma. You came in last in the challenge, but managed to climb your way to the middle of the pack on your date, but that ended up being seventh place by the end of the week. Here are your transformations this week!"

Emma Green:

Caught in the Moment: Whenever Emma is in a compromising situation with Turner, her arousal will spike. (Porn Logic)

With Rose-Tinted Glasses: Emma will desire to be in a threesome with Turner and the other girls, especially Becca and any other girls she has fantasized or will fantasize about. Similar to other mind changes, this will grow over time. (Wildcard)

Bigger is Better: Emma will gain muscle and change physique from short and petite to tall and fit. (Random)

"I...don't really see the downsides of the third one?" Emma mused.

"Just a little something in case the audience was feeling kind to you and wanted to give you a little switcher," Kendra explained. "Those might occasionally crop up for some of you, especially those of you who are in the back of the pack and have the opportunity for more **** transformations. Are there any of these that you don't want?"

"Just like last time, I'm not really opposed to any of these, per se," Emma answered. "I mean, I would rather not want to be in a threesome with Becca or anybody else right now, but it's not the worst thing in the world."

"Glad to see you're still looking on the bright side of things," Kendra smiled. "Speaking of looking on the bright side, onto you, Charlotte! You've been quite the interesting contestant this week. You were also near the back of the pack, and stayed that way for the entire week, but you didn't let that deter you. You spent most of your week making sure everybody else felt just a little bit better. In that spirit, let's see how these transformations make you feel!"

Charlotte Miller:

Dionysian Mysteries: Charlotte's inhibitions will be lowered as her arousal increases, the effect being doubled when she's around Turner. If left unchecked, it could morph into exhibitionism. (Exhibitionist)

Squad Captain: Charlotte will influence her fellow contestants more easily, but only in matters that would further their relationship with Turner. (Cheerleader)

Getting Carried Away: Whenever Charlotte is in a sexual encounter, she will find it exceedingly difficult focusing on anything aside from her or her partner(s)' pleasure. (Stepford)

"What do you think?" Kendra motioned at the screen in front of them.

"Eh, could be worse," Charlotte shrugged. "I don't necessarily like any of these, per se, but I can see them all being helpful in one way or another!"

"That's the spirit!" Kendra smiled again. "Onto someone who had quite the comeback story, Abigail! You were in pretty rough shape after the challenge, barely holding on to your single victory point, but you managed to, whether on purpose or accident, get eleven whole points, the most of anybody here this round! That landed you in a very comfortable second place, which dropped to third place after last night. Let's see what you'll be up against this round!"

Abigail Reed:

The Perfect Alternative: Abby's sexual fantasies will match those of Turner's. (The Perfect Girlfriend)

Thrill of the Hunt: If Abby does something sex-related with Turner that Becca has not, she will be awarded extra VP (one-time use per act) (Adventurous)

Homewrecker: Abby will find the idea of hooking up with Turner incredibly arousing, especially whilst trying to hide it from Becca. (Homewrecker)

"I'm noticing a bit of a...theme," Becca remarked.

"Yeah, you couldn't have given me at least one transformation from a different vein?" Abby asked.

"Now where would be the fun in that?" Kendra rhetorically asked. "We have just what the audience wanted to turn you into, right here, in three different forms!"

"Kendra, I don't think you-" Becca started.

"-want to be interrupted?" Kendra finished. "You're sure right I don't! Luckily, this next person doesn't seem very likely to interrupt me, on account of her not really talking all that much! Lauren has just been coasting by this game. She got a favorable position during the challenge, and as a result, didn't really have to spend much focus on gaining more victory points, leaving her even with Emma in the middle of the pack! Here are her transformations, none of which will have her coasting by all that much!"

Lauren Cook:

Sharing is Caring: Using BP, Lauren can store up some of her arousal, and even transfer it to another contestant. The length of time stored, amount of arousal, and who it is transferred to will affect the price (This is completely optional). However, her arousal will grow twice as fast. (Nymphomaniac)

A New Beginning: Using BP, Lauren can make minor changes to her physique. The more major the change, the more BP it will cost (These are completely optional). (Random)

Night Job: Instead of losing her BP, why don't we make Lauren gain some? She can complete 24-hour long challenges in order to gain some BP (These are completely optional, aside from the requirement to do at least one every three days) (Lax)

"These don't really look like they're gonna be making her coast through the game less," Kathryn pointed out. "In fact, it looks like they'll let her do it even more, since they're all completely optional aside from the third one."

"Well, unlike you, some people actually did well in the challenge, so they don't have to have harsh transformations," Kendra scoffed. "In fact, I'd say that these are mostly rewards, she gets to spend her BP on more different things, or even gain some BP! The same could've been said for Liam here, but he made a deal with me that makes it so he gets last place transformations, so I won't be as easy on him as I normally would have."

Liam Teller:

I Don't Need 'Terms and Conditions': Liam will start taking nude or near-nude selfies of herself. (Gamer)

We'll Go Down in History: Liam and Turner have a lot of history as a man. What if we tweaked history a little bit to change him to have always been a girl? This will not replace old memories, it'll create new memories for everyone who'd interacted with Liam before. The more Liam accepts femininity, the stronger those memories become in everyone's mind, until they completely override previous memories. (Rewritten)

No Point in Denying It: Liam's been acting a bit too defiantly of her transformation. With this transformation, Liam will become the epitome of the gamer girl stereotype, making her body as effeminate as possible. (Rewritten)

"I didn't think it would be that bad," Liam said out loud.

"Yeah...I'm sorry," Abby agreed. "I didn't think it would be either, but maybe it won't be as bad as you think it might be. You might even come to not care that much about them in the future!"

"That's the problem," he grimaced. "If I don't care about it as much, that means I'm losing my identity here."

"Speaking of losing your identity, we have someone else here who's been trying to find hers," Kendra interrupted. "Sorry, we're on a bit of a strict schedule here. Paige! You've had your ups and your downs this week. You clashed with your roommate and basically everybody on this island, you clashed with Turner, and you squandered the reward I gave you! How's that for wasting your first place reward? Regardless, you are still in first place, and are safe this week, so let's move on to Mandy!"

Mandy Teller:

They Call Me Mama Bear: Whenever someone in the harem is feeling down, Mandy will offer her assistance in the form of sexual release. (Maternal)

A New Teaching Style: If, when Mandy is teaching someone about sex, they say "I don't understand", then Mandy can demonstrate whatever she is talking about on that person, gaining a large sum of BP whenever she does so (This is completely optional). (Experienced)

Everybody Wants to Rule the World: Mandy will become more dominant and start to see herself as the "mistress" of all the girls in the harem. The other girls will not immediately become more submissive to Mandy, however. (Experienced)

"I don't know if I'd call these 'benefits'," Mandy raised an eyebrow. "Certainly worst than Lauren's, since hers are basically net neutral."

"Well, if you actually were to play the game, maybe these would be more beneficial to you," Kendra retorted. "Just think of all the power you could have with some of these! And speaking of power, onto someone who seems to be wanting a bit too much power for themselves, Kathryn!"

Kathryn Jones:

Wear Your Emotions On Your Sleeve: Kathryn will coordinate her outfits with how she is feeling. This will happen subconsciously, and will not be able to be avoided like her "Declassified" transformation. Everybody else on the show, including Turner, will instinctively know what each color means. (Talkative)

Insider Threat: Kathryn reveal information about the harem to Turner without prompting if she's held it in for too long. She will also offer advice on what to do with this information, but her advice will be skewed towards sex-related solutions. (Assistant)

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire: Kathryn will now be able to lie a bit easier, however, whenever she does lie, her outfit will get more risqué. The changes can be reversed if and only if she tells the truth. If she tries to change her outfit, it will morph to her current "level", per se, of clothing. (Talkative)

"I'm...honestly not as upset about this as I thought I would be," Kathryn said with a surprising lack of hostility. "I've gotten quite accustomed to not lying while I've been here, so that won't be too bad."

"Right but you may not realize you're doing it," Kendra noted. "Food for thought! Speaking of, someone who really needs to think a little bit more is Becca, who has really turned everyone against her these last few days. Perhaps something here will help her out a little bit..."

Becca Reed:

The Other Side: Becca won't just willingly set up Turner with other women, she'll slowly grow aroused at the idea of Turner being with other women. (Cuckquean)

Time to Make Up: Becca certainly has pissed at least one person off here. From now on, whenever Becca is in the presence of someone that Kendra has deemed she has pissed off, she will change to be submissive to that person. (Submission)

Just Like We Planned: Becca will start to carry a desire to be impregnated by Turner, and will become more fertile. (Wife)

"Well, one of those was definitely what I assumed you were gonna do," Becca said. "The other two, I'm genuinely impressed that you didn't do the same thing with Abby and go all one direction."

"Right, right, yes, yes, again, we're on a schedule, so onto Sara!" Kendra dismissed Becca, the one time she wasn't being hostile. "Sara, you've had quite the day, haven't you? You got nine whole points on your date with Turner last night, which is just below Abby and equal with Paige, rocketing you up to second place to begin the next challenge. Not bad at all! Let's see what's in the cards for you this week!"

Sara Rogers:

A Different Kind of Sex Therapist: Whenever Sara is trying to reassure someone, her voice will cause significant arousal in whomever she is trying to reassure at the moment and mild arousal to all others within earshot. This effect does apply to Turner. (Random)

Far From Skid Row, I Dream We'll Go Somewhere That's Green: Sara will try to recreate romantic situations identical to those she's read about or watched in a movie with her and Turner. (Romance)

Spread the Love: Sara will start having dreams of romantic situations with her, other contestants, and Turner. Whichever contestant she dreams about will be infatuated with Sara the next day. She can choose who this dream is about using BP, otherwise it will be randomly chosen. (Bisexual)

Turner shuddered as Sara's first transformation came onto screen. That was exactly what he had been worried about happening, something that would make the two of them less able to hold back.

"Alright, there are the nine contestants and their potential transformation that you can vote for!" Kendra said, turning away from the girls and towards the audience. "Additionally, here are the polls for ranking the girls and ranking the dates that they went on!"

Voting is now closed for the round
