A Charity Show

Laura, Brooke, and Sadie approached the temple on the back of Bertha. The saddle felt a little cramped, but with how small Sadie was, they could all squeeze on. The exterior looked like the previous temples, with white marble columns and high ceilings. The layout was the same, which Sadie supposed made a lot of sense. That way, supposed worshipers would know where everything was. Then again, it’s likely because Cassandra is lazy and is reusing the designs. Sadie thought to herself.

Upon reaching the entrance to the trials. Laura gave Sadie one look and walked out of the temple.

Brooke sighed, then shrugged, saying, “Well, she did tell us she wouldn’t be doing this one.”

They had come to the temple of chastity. By the door of the trial was a set of chastity belts with a sign reading: ‘For those weak of spirit, so that they might pass the trials of chastity anyway.’

Sadie nodded, “Let’s just hope the nearby temple isn’t temperance. Laura didn’t seem thrilled when I explained that one to her earlier this morning.”

So Brooke and Sadie joined Laura back outside as they went to the next temple. On the way, Laura said, “Thank you, Sadie, for not insisting.”

Sadie sighed, “It’s alright. I understand. You weren’t wrong. Cassandra definitely would find it hilarious to do that to you. You’ll do temperance if we get that temple right?”

“Yes. I probably won’t enjoy it, but yes.”

Sadie replied, “Good, because that is something I would have insisted on.”

Brooke sarcastically quipped, “What if I don’t want to do temperance? Do I get a freebie as well?”

Sadie looked over her shoulder and glared at Brooke.

Brooke found her expression amusing and laughed. “I’m just joking. You’re fun to tease.”

Sadie got really annoyed and got an image of herself ordering Brooke to go down on her, and the woman happily doing so. Sadie sighed, I’m already reconsidering whether this is actually an upgrade.

The trio rode on for a while in silence, until Brooke broke it again. “Laura, I was wondering if I could ask you some stuff regarding Talia?”

Laura took a moment to respond and even then did so hesitantly. “I’m not sure I want to talk about that with others around. Sorry, Sadie, nothing against you, but I don’t want to air out relationship problems to everyone.”

Sadie nodded, “I understand. It’s not my business.”

Brooke continued, “Even so, I’d like to talk to you separately from Talia first.”

“Sure, we can do that, but when it’s just the two of us,” Laura replied.

They arrived at another identical temple. This time, finding it to be the temple of Charity. Laura did a fist pump. “YES! This was the best option.”

Sadie and Brooke looked at Laura, confused. Brooke asked, “Why was this one the best?”

“Because this is definitely going to be about giving others orgasms.”

Brooke frowned, “I see… You do realize that could suck for me, right?”

Laura said, “I’ll just order you to go down on me, easy peasy. I know Sadie finds me attractive and vice versa. So this should be a cake walk.”

Sadie said, “That assumes that any form of orgasm will work. What if you have to specifically finger someone? Then Brooke is in an awkward position.”

“Well, shit,” Laura replied. Then Laura turned to Brooke, “Brooke, I won’t pressure you about this, but Cassandra most certainly will. You’re likely going to have to do stuff with some of us that might be uncomfortable.”

Brooke rolled her eyes. “I think I’ll be okay, but I’m not changing who I am simply to make things more convenient. So shall we enter? Is there anything we need to do first?”

The three examined the entryway but didn’t find anything besides a simple plaque reading: ‘The Trial of Charity: Give of yourself.’

Laura shook her head, “I don’t think so. I think we can just enter.” Laura placed her hand on the large stone doors, and they slowly slid open to a long hallway. The three proceeded down the hallway, and after about thirty seconds of walking, they heard the doors slam shut behind them.

Brooke said, “I guess we’re committed now.”

Sadie replied, “It was like this on the other trials too. We should be able to give up if we want to, but at some cost.” The trio walked into a rather plain-looking grey stone room. The only things of note were a door on the opposite wall and a brazier lit with blue fire, with a writing pad next to it on a stand. The group approached the objects and found on the door written, ‘Make a charitable offering to another. When you have been sufficiently charitable, you may pass, but be warned: that multiple offerings, repeated offerings, or exchange of offerings will be penalized.’

Sadie then examined the writing pad and found further instructions. After reading them, she said, “Okay, looks like we have to write down our offering of charity and who we want to give it to, then toss it in the fire. We will be held to that offering if it is accepted, no matter what.”

Brooke asked, “What do you mean if it is accepted?”

“You can read the rules for yourself, but say I put giving 100 orgasms down on the paper. If I put down Laura’s name, it would likely be accepted since she’d happily receive that from me. If I put down your name, it probably wouldn’t be accepted since you wouldn’t be interested in that.” Sadie explained, “Also, while we can make offerings to each other, we can’t agree ahead of time that I’ll give you something in exchange for something. Even knowing the other’s plan is unlikely to count. Personally, I think we should give to people that aren’t here.”

Laura nodded, “I suppose, but I won’t rule out helping either of you. Anything else we need to know?”

Sadie replied, “The repeat of offerings applies to our whole group, even if to different people or in different quantities.”

Brooke frowned, “That’s frustrating, and the penalty for multiple offerings means we can’t easily get a benchmark for how big an offering we need to make. So we risk giving more than we need to.”

Sadie nodded, “Yep, but that’s the thing about charity: you’re supposed to give that which you’re able to and not worry about if it is more than needed.”

Brooke nodded, “Okay, mind if I go first then? I have an idea for my offering, and I don’t mind risking it not being enough.”

Sadie stepped out of a hand and gestured towards the writing pad, “By all means.”

Brooke stepped up to the pad and wrote down, ‘5000 BP to Sadie’. She tore off the page, crumpled it up, and threw it in the fire. The blue fire flared for a moment and then briefly turned green, and a positive-sounding chime rang out. Brooke replied, “Guess that means I passed.”

Laura asked, “What did you offer?” Brooke hesitated to answer, but Laura explained, “We need to know so we don’t offer the same thing. Remember, repeats are penalized.”

Brooke nodded, “Okay, I gave 5000 BP to Sadie.”

Sadie said, “Really!? Why?”

Brooke shrugged. “I don’t need it. Not really, and you seem to be struggling with some of your transformations. This way you can make some more tweaks to them.”

Sadie’s lower lip quivered as she tried not to tear up at the unexpected kindness. She was just about to start crying when the image of Brooke pressing her down on a bed and passionately kissing her while Brooke’s hand slipped up under Sadie’s skirt. The jarring image, along with her now mixed emotions, allowed her to compose herself. “Thank you, Brooke. I won’t forget this.”

“What are sisters for if not helping each other out?” Brooke asked.

“Heh, I thought you didn’t like this sister all that much, at least from what you said yesterday,” Sadie replied jokingly.

“I mean if I were ranking all of you…” Brooke seemed to think about that for a long moment.

Sadie said “How about you don't. I don't need to hear how I would be near the bottom.”

“You actually wouldn't be.” Brooke retorted.

“Rrrright…” Sadie replied sarcastically.

“I think you'd be fifth, maybe sixth.”

Sadie looked surprised while Laura seemed interested in where she ranked. Sadie said, “Seriously? Why?”

“And where do I rank?” Laura asked with a slight hint of insecurity.

Brooke chuckled, hearing Laura's question. “Well, Sam is obviously number one. Then I think it would be Allie, you Laura, Aubrey, then Sadie or Isa, with you two being close, then Chloe, followed by Talia, and everyone else is after that. As to why, despite you not remembering me, Sadie, I do remember you. We were friends at one point. I also don't know like half of my sisters at all, so they all rank below you, but unless they are all super fucking awesome, I don't think you'll fall much in my rankings.”

“I’m third?” Laura said, surprised.

Sadie rolled her eyes, “Well, duh, Laura. I’m willing to bet Allie is number two because she’s dating Sam. You’re third because you and Sam are hovering around making something official between you two.”

Brooke frowned, “Do you think so little of me, Sadie? That isn’t why. At least that isn’t the only reason why. Allie takes number two for helping Sam process her trauma. Her dating Sam is a reason to tolerate and be civil with her as long as she treats Sam right. Me liking her is because she’s helped my best friend out of a dark place during a trying time. Laura was super supportive back in college, and her willingness to go out of her way to help others gets her third. Plus, if I really couldn’t stand someone she was dating, I’m pretty sure Sam would break it off with them if the issue couldn’t be resolved. I know I would and have when the situation has been reversed. Now you two need to make an offering so we can continue. I’m sure I could go on alone, but I’d rather not.”

Laura and Sadie seemed to consider their choice for a while in silence.

Laura stepped forward and wrote down, ‘Three divine blessings (one full mana pool), one each for: Mary, Sam, Brooke.’ Then she tossed the paper in the fire. The fire flared more than before and turned green again, this time for longer. Then the same positive chime rang out.

Sadie asked, “What did you offer?”

Laura replied, “Don’t worry about it. You can’t offer the same thing, so it won’t matter.”

“How can you be certain?” Brooke asked.

“I’m quite certain.” Laura simply replied, “You’ll find out eventually, Brooke, since you were one of the recipients. I will let you know, Sadie, that whatever you offer doesn’t have to be fulfilled immediately. Though I’m going to guess you won’t be able to stall too long on delivering on your offering.”

Sadie asked, “Why do you say that?”

“Because while I could give Brooke the thing I offered, I don’t feel compelled to give it to her literally this second. Otherwise she’d be eating me out right now.”

Sadie frowned, “You would actually take advantage of Brooke? You realize that Sam will kill you for that. Possibly literally.”

Brooke replied faster than Laura, “I’ve already had a discussion with Sam about this. I’m not forced to comply with the order. I just really, really want to now.”

Sadie said, “So if I told you to—”

“I’d tell you to go fuck yourself, but if Allie, Isa, Laura, Kitty, Merida, Ellen, Sam, or Mary told me to, I’d want to yes. I don’t even know who Kitty, Merida, and Ellen really are, and I know I would.”

Laura smirked, “That being said, Sadie, if you really wanted Brooke to do that, I could order her to do that to you.”

Sadie went wide-eyed, “Seriously?”

Laura turned to Brooke, “Am I wrong, matey?”

Brooke pouted and looked away in embarrassment, mumbling, “No, you aren’t wrong.”

Laura then got serious, “I’m not doing that, Sadie, and certainly won’t be doing that in exchange for anything. Brooke isn’t a toy.” Laura rolled her eyes, seeing Brooke’s semi-pleading expression. “Yes, Brooke, I’ll order you to go down on people from time to time. Since I know Sam won’t do that except maybe with herself. I’m just not going to barter with this power. Now write your offering, I want to get to the next room.”

Sadie stepped up to the paper and hesitated. I don’t really know what I have. I can’t really do BP since Brooke did; I can’t afford VP or CP. What do I even have? If Laura was certain that she offered something I couldn’t, it must be something with her TFs. I guess I could do something similar. Sadie thought over her TFs for something she could offer based on them. Well, shit, there really isn’t anything… then again, maybe? Would that work? Fuck it. I’m trying.

Sadie picked up the pen and wrote: ‘I’ll forfeit my prize when I win a Grudge Match, to Mary for as long as she wants to keep receiving it.’ Sadie tossed the paper into the fire and hoped it would work. The fire flared once again, then turned green, and a positive chime rang out. The door to the next room swung open. Sadie sighed with relief.

Laura opened her mouth to ask what Sadie had offered, but Sadie cut her off, “Nuh uh. You want to know what I put in you, tell me yours first.”

Laura shrugged and nodded, “Fair enough. Shall we move on then?” Laura gestured at the door, and the trio proceeded towards the next room.

As they walked down the dimly lit stone hallway, Brooke asked, “Did that seem easy to anyone else?”

Sadie side-eyed Brooke and said, “Easy? You gave up an entire round's worth of BP. That stuff is far more valuable than you give it credit for. I don’t know what Laura gave up, but what I gave up isn’t small. We’re just lucky we didn’t undershoot the target.”

Brooke asked, “Why’s that?”

Laura said, “Well, the first temple we did, where there was a failure, Allie and I had to wear these collars, that… well, I couldn’t disobey Talia, and Allie couldn’t disobey Mark. We couldn’t take them off for a while either.”

Brooke raised an eyebrow, “Okay, that’s kinky as all get out, but was it really that bad having to obey your girlfriend? I doubt Allie minded obeying her husband all that much, or is it her wife?”

Laura replied, “It’s both, but I mean we literally couldn’t disobey. We got lucky in that Talia and Mark didn’t abuse that power. If Talia had ordered me to do something with that collar on, I’d have done it, period. That level of loss of control is a lot scarier than you might think.”

Sadie replied, “I recall she did order you to do several things to her.”

Laura coughed, “Well… yes, but that was consensual. You weren’t there when we had that talk, Sadie, but we talked about what we were comfortable with first, before even inviting you to watch or join us.”

Brooke eyed Sadie, “I didn’t take you to be someone who likes to watch.”

Sadie said, “THAT’S NOT— What she meant is… can we just drop this?” Sadie had just gotten another image of her watching and masturbating as Brooke ate Laura out.

Laura and Brooke were thinking the same thing at that moment, though for very different reasons. She is so much fun to tease.

The trio entered the next chamber and were confused by what they found. There was a lit stage with cameras pointed towards it. The stage had set dressing making it look like a bedroom from a porno set, with lots of red and pink, a bunch of sex toys all over the place, and everything seemed to be covered in satin or silk. Over the stage was a banner that read: ‘Plushie Charity Drive.’ Next to the stage and behind the camera were two identical digital display boards as well.

Sadie asked, “What exactly are we supposed to do here?”

Brooke replied, “Let’s look around for some more clues, but I have a feeling I already know, and I’m not pleased by it.”

It took them a few minutes of searching before Brooke found what they were looking for around the camera equipment. It was a small pamphlet that essentially explained what the charity drive was all about.

Brooke sighed as she finished reading the pamphlet and explained. “Okay, so apparently we have to raise money for charity. Something about disadvantaged dragons having their plushies taken away despite not doing anything wrong and needing to grow their hoard to find solace.” Laura and Sadie looked at each other skeptically, then back at Brooke, who continued, “Yeah, I don’t know; it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either. Regardless, we can turn these cameras on, at which point there will be a live stream. I don’t know how that is different than the show itself, but…” Brooke just shrugged to finish her statement. “The viewers will be able to make suggestions and attach different donations to those suggestions. We need to make enough to meet the fundraising goal before we can move on.”

Sadie groaned, “So we’re doing a charity porno?”

Brooke replied, “Eeh… more like an OnlyFans. Where all the money goes to charity. We don’t have to do every request, but I would expect us to need to do some of the lewder ones to reach the goal.”

“What is the goal?” Laura asked.

“100,000 BP,” Brooke replied flatly.

Laura looked relieved while Sadie looked horrified. Brooke asked, “Do you think that will actually be easy to get to?”

Laura considered, “I think it will be fairly easy if somewhat tedious. Luckily, I’ve got some experience with this and have memories of Lucia doing this enough that I’ve picked up a few things.”

Sadie asked, “Wait, Lucia did porn in that alternate timeline?”

Laura frowned at Sadie, “No. She did fundraisers. Seriously.” Laura grumbled while shaking her head. “But also there’s nothing wrong with doing porn. That’s not to say that there isn’t a lot wrong with the porn industry, but that’s not the same thing. Now how much are you two up for here?”

“Eh…” Brooke started. “I’m not thrilled, but I’ll do my part. Just realize that unless the offer is particularly juicy, I’m not going to want to do anything with either of you, unless you order me to eat one of you out, Laura.”

Sadie seemed far more hesitant. “I’m not comfortable with this at all.”

Laura said, “I understand, but you do realize this isn’t really all that different than the show you put on the first day you got here, right? I mean that strip dance you did was broadcast out to people, too. Along with probably all the other lewd things you’ve been a part of while here.”

Sadie covered her face with her hands. “Don’t remind me.”

Laura remembered something at that moment. “Okay, so… I need to do something before we continue here.” Laura reached out to Talia. “Talia, you there? Talia?” Laura sighed, “High Priestess Talia, your Goddess has a question for you.”

Talia replied instantly, “Yes, Laura? How can your servant help you?”

Laura sighed, and it reverberated across the connection, “I guess I actually have two questions now. First, why did I have to refer to you as my high priestess? Previously, I’ve just been able to reach out to you.”

“Hmm… Maybe because you’re rejecting your Goddesshood? I’m not honestly sure. Might be that you’ve grown in power because you have more worshipers. What’s your second question?”

“Well… so we’re in the second temple room right now.”

Talia nodded, “Good work; we only just got to ours a moment ago. What’s the issue?”

“I was wondering if I could do things with Sadie and or Brooke at least for the purposes of this room. I know we agreed we would talk to each other before any sexual partners not already discussed, and considering that Sadie and Brooke weren’t here yet when we had that discussion…” Laura let her unspoken question linger.

“I see. Well, we did sort of already discuss Sadie. Though I guess that wasn’t a blanket approval. You have my permission to do things with both of them whenever you want, not just whatever the room entails.”

Laura sighed with relief. “Thanks, this room would have been really hard otherwise, and if you wanted to do something with either of them, I’m okay with that too.”

Talia responded, “I appreciate that. I would actually like to propose a slight change to our agreement about partners.”

Laura cocked an eyebrow, “Really? I figured you wouldn’t be cool with an open relationship.”

“I’m not, and that will take a transformation to change. No, I was thinking that we are going to be in a position where this challenge might make us do sexual things with others. For instance, the happy endings with Sam. If you had had Allie and Isa with you instead, well, you might not really have had time to contact me and get my agreement, and I might have felt pressured to give it to you even if you did have time. So, the change is that sexual stuff with the others for the challenge is okay. That goes for future challenges as well. Though I’ll still want details later.”

“Thank you, I really appreciate that.” Laura smiled and quickly felt that Talia smiled at her in return.

“Is that all?” Talia asked.

“I’d like to talk about a lot of things, but that can wait for later tonight. Good luck with your temple.”

“You too.”

Laura dropped the connection and saw Brooke looking at her rather unamused. Brooke said, “I take it you were talking with Talia? You do remember that part where I said don’t do that as much as possible for the rest of the day?”

Laura nodded, “Yes, I do. This was important, though. Talia and I had agreed about who we could do sexual stuff with previously. You two weren’t on the list, and I didn’t want to break my promise to her.”

Brooke nodded, “Okay, that’s fair and good on you. So are we on your menu now?”

Laura nodded, “So to speak.”

Sadie asked, “Wait, but you and Talia invited me to do stuff with you already. Do you really think she would have been upset if you did it with me now? Even if we didn’t actually do anything before?”

Laura nodded, “Yeah, probably. We invited you to do stuff with us together. We also didn’t say that it would be a regular thing. It’s like if you and your partner have a threesome with someone. That doesn’t permit you to just have sex with the third whenever you want. Now let’s get this show on the road. Brooke, would you man the camera at least at the beginning?”

“Sure, I guess.” Brooke went and stood behind the camera. “What do you want me to do? Just keep it focused on you?”

“Yeah, or whatever action is happening on stage.” Laura replied, “Now, Sadie, come hover next to me.”

Sadie complied, and Laura and Sadie moved onto the stage. Laura sat down on the bed, leaned back seductively, pushing out her breasts, and crossed her legs. Sadie hovered next to her, tucking her feet up underneath her butt. Sadie asked, “Why do I need to hover?”

“Trust me, it will work better to play up your fairy aspects. Hit it, Brooke.”

Brooke nodded and gave a three-finger countdown as she started the live stream.

The lights seemed to adjust of their own accord as they dimmed, and the remaining illumination was a reddish orange, giving the stage a sensual feel. Laura dropped her voice slightly into a husky tone as slow music reminiscent of Barry White started to play. “Greetings, my devotees, it is I, the Goddess Laura, here to grant your desires in exchange for a humble offering.” Laura shifted her tone to one of playful sadness, “To help poor and under appreciated dragons, restore their hoards to their former glory after some horrible, villainous person callously and maliciously plundered their hoards with nary a thought to these majestic creatures' feelings.” Laura had a pretty good idea of the specific dragon’s hoard that had been plundered and by whom, so she was really laying it on thick. “So, my delightful devotees, make your supplications at my altar and my lovely little fairy here and deckhand behind the camera will take you on a magical voyage to the land of your desires.”

Brooke immediately noticed the display boards were populated with chat messages. And she was only able to catch snippets of the chat as it went by so quickly, but she also realized she had a mental list of the currently available donation requests.

• MuscleWorshiper: Cover yourself in oil (100 BP)

The messages continued to come in at a frantic pace. Brooke scrunched up her face in sympathy as so much of it focused on Laura, and it seemed about half the viewers were simps and the other half really wanted to see her humiliated or dominated.

Laura just looked at the camera, “Oh, how very naughty of all of you. Tsk Tsk. I’m going to have to teach you all better than that. Hmm, quite a few of you want me oiled up do you? Well, we can make that happen, but you’re going to need a much bigger tip if you want that. My fairy helper here will make a show of it if you do.” As Laura said, the donation rose to 500 BP. “Aw, thank you so much for your support.” A bottle of massage oil simply appeared in Laura's hand. “Princess, be a dear and oil me up.” Laura passed the bottle of oil to Sadie as she stood. “And I suppose you’d all like to see the goods, wouldn’t you?” Laura said, leaning forward, showing off an ample amount of cleavage, which Brooke zoomed in on as she felt it was appropriate. Brooke then panned out as Laura began a strip dance, earning another 500 BP.

Brooke started looking over the list of requests coming in. Ugh, at 500 BP a pop, this is going to take forever. We need a few big-ticket items. Oh… well… I guess we can do that.

Laura was posing seductively with her arms above her head as Sadie slowly lathered Laura’s body until it glistened from the stage lighting. Sadie was already bright red and seemed to be breathing heavily. As Sadie started massaging Laura’s breasts with the oil, Laura pulled her into a kiss by the front of her dress. During the kiss, which was short-circuiting Sadie’s brain, Laura pulled down on Sadie’s dress, and in one swift motion it landed on the floor. Leaving Sadie in nothing but panties, her heels that had a filigreed shaft outlining her lower legs, and her tiara.

Sadie started to extend out her legs in mid-air as she wrapped her arms around Laura’s shoulders. Laura slipped a hand under Sadie’s butt just before thirty seconds of making out had passed and then, the next moment, caught Sadie as her boon stopped working to keep her afloat. As they broke apart the kiss, Laura said, “Good. When a goddess of desire is kissing you, you'd better not be thinking about some other girl.”

Brooke kept checking the chat and saw they had earned another 1000 BP for that little display. Laura lay back on the bed, bringing Sadie with her in her arms. Laura gave her a look, saying that she was stalling for time to figure out what to do next. Brooke really didn’t feel comfortable strutting onto the set but did so, making sure her ass looked fine for the camera in her skintight leather armour. As she did so, she noticed a lot of comments coming in about wanting to smack or tap her ass. Brooke leaned in towards Laura and Sadie, deliberately giving the audience an even better view of her ass, whispering, “We aren’t even 10% of the way there yet. We’re going to need to go for some bigger things. Laura, I assume a permanent breast size increase is off the table?”

Laura nodded, “Nothing permanent for something like this.”

Brooke nodded, figured, and wiggled her butt for the camera to make sure people didn’t get bored. “What about for the rest of the round?”

“I could do that.”

“And you, Sadie?” Brooke asked, making sure to look directly at her face.

“Absolutely, I’m a little annoyed I got smaller breasts because of my transformations.”

“Well, here are temporary BE potions,” Brooke said, pulling out two vials and handing one to each. “They are for four sizes.”

Sadie asked accusingly, “Are you not taking one?”

Brooke gestured to her breasts, “I’ve got bigger tits than either of you. This won’t even make Laura bigger than me, just the same size. So no, I won’t be. Laura, I’m going back to the camera in a second when I do smack my ass.”

Laura just smirked as she took the vials without complaint and nodded. As soon as Brooke pivoted towards the cameras, Laura smacked her ass hard, getting a nice loud clap that reverberated for a few seconds. Brooke bit her lips as she stumbled off camera. Brooke thought, Damn that was a lot harder than I meant for her to do that. Wait, that was worth more because of my reaction? Whatever, people are fucking weird.

Laura sat up, positioning Sadie in her lap, with an arm still wrapped around her waist. Laura looked at the camera and playfully said, “That there was Brooke; she’s new and a bit camera shy. Don’t worry, my devotees, I’m sure she’ll be begging to come to my altar like all of you before we’re through. She was also rather naughty; see, she brought Sadie and me these potions, but she doesn’t want to take one herself.” Laura wobbled the potion out in front of her. “Are we going to take them? Of course we are, aren’t we, Sadie?” Sadie looked at the vial nervously and then down at her own tiny naked breasts, and then she nodded hesitantly.

Laura continued, “But Chat, what do you think? Would you pay extra to see Brooke take one with us? What do they do? Oh, these will increase our breast size until the end of the round.”

The chat immediately exploded, and the price if all three of them took the potion together on camera doubled. Brooke shook her head.

“Oh phooey, she’s shaking her head. Maybe I can convince her? Would you like to see me try Chat? Oh, an extra 5000 BP for convincing her sexily. I think that can be arranged. Then again, my devotee's consent is key.” Laura then looked directly at Brooke. “I won’t pressure you if you tell me to stop, but otherwise I’d like to see if I can tempt you.”

Brooke looked at the BP rewards, and they had gone up substantially. “You can try, but I’m not interested.”

“Oh, let's see if you can keep that up that resolve. Brooke, get over here and lick our pussies until we cum.”

Brooke immediately strode over to Laura and Sadie, overcome with desire to follow that order. Laura repositioned Sadie on her back as Laura pulled her arms above her head and sat on them and pulled Sadie’s legs up into the air and spread them apart for Brooke to be able to lick them. Laura quipped, “Bottoms up. I guess in your case, literally Sadie.” Laura moved to empty one vial into Sadie's mouth. “Oops.” Laura pretended to be shocked by her incredible clumsiness, as the entire vial poured all over Sadie’s pussy. “Now, Brooke, be a good girl and follow orders. I expect you to lick her clean of any other fluids down there and make sure to swallow them all.” Laura then poured a different vial down Sadie’s throat.

Brooke had already knelt at the edge of the bed between Sadie’s legs and whipped her head up to glare at Laura. “You absolute bitch!”

Laura just smiled down at her as she checked out Sadie’s rack and the fact that she was now Laura’s normal cup size. Then Laura knocked back her own vial of breast-enlarging potion, and her breasts swelled and glistened in the light. Sadie was staring at her own breasts and then at Laura’s in wide-eyed amazement as they swelled. Laura said, “Oh? I believe you said I could tempt you.” Laura looked down at Sadie. “I did ask her, right, my little fairy princess?”

Sadie nodded, “Yes. Yes, you did.”

Laura hooked a finger under Sadie’s chin and pulled back, forcing her head to tilt up. “Yes, what?”

“Yes, Goddess, you did.”

Laura patted Sadie’s cheek. “Good girl. Now Brooke, why don’t you be a good girl and follow your goddess’s commands?”

“Fuck you, you aren’t my goddess.” Brooke looked at Laura icily, “Don’t act like it.”

“You hear that, Chat? It sounds like Brooke doesn’t want to come to my altar either.” Laura smirked. “Now Brooke, LICK!” Laura pointed at Sadie’s crotch.

Brooke felt the command overtake her, and she began licking Sadie’s crotch clean. Laura noticed the camera seemed to have a mind of its own as it moved to capture Brooke’s breasts growing slowly as she licked Sadie clean of the potion. Sadie let out a tiny whimper as Brooke began and curled her toes, as Laura continued to hold her legs apart. Laura looked down at Sadie. “You know, since you said you were annoyed, your breasts got smaller; maybe you’d like to join me up at this size. What do you say, Sadie?” Sadie let out a moan of pleasure as Brooke stuck her tongue into her pussy. Sadie shook her head from side to side. Laura scooted forward slightly, putting Sadie’s head between her thighs, firmly gripping it between them. Laura frowned, “But you said I was your Goddess Sadie. What if I asked pretty please?”

Sadie shook her head again as she moaned from Brooke’s teasing.

“Then how about a bet? If I win, I pour this vial down your throat. If you win, I pour this vial down your throat and give you a mind-blowing orgasm?” Laura smirked when she saw Sadie panting but not shaking her head as Sadie stared up at her questioningly. “The objective is simple: you can’t make a sound or climax for sixty seconds after time begins.” Sadie let out a tiny squeak of pleasure as she wiggled her arms beneath Laura’s legs helplessly. “Brooke, give her a second. What do you say, Sadie? You game?”

Sadie took a few calming breaths. “Fine, time begins when Brooke resumes her efforts?”

Laura nodded and said, “Sure. Oh, Brooke, know if I lose, I’ll keep my delayed gratitude spell on you for a while. Oh, and this other vial of breast enlargement potion is likely to spill somewhere else where you are going to have to lick clean.”

Brooke glared at Laura even more. “We will be talking about this later.”

“Just make her cum or make a sound in sixty seconds, then you have nothing to worry about.” Laura countered.

Brooke grumbled but resumed with eager abandon. It was barely a challenge to break Sadie’s ability to remain quiet. Ten seconds in, she let out a gasp of pleasure, and twenty seconds past that, she came. Brooke prepared for her own orgasm, but it didn’t come like before. She looked confused and then up at Laura.

Laura was pouring the vial down Sadie’s throat, and her breasts started to expand significantly again. Laura then saw Brooke’s confused look, which quickly changed to an eager stare as Brooke eyed Laura’s crotch. Laura leaned forward, shoving her breasts into Sadie’s face, and used a finger to crook Brooke’s chin up. “I told you I cast Delayed Gratitude on you. You can’t cum until it ends. After all, don’t you want to come to my altar, too?” Laura questioned as she leaned back and spread her legs slightly. “Don’t worry, I won’t keep the spell going after the stream ends. In fact, I’m thinking that will be the climax.” Laura picked up Sadie, who was woozily moving about, and lay her down next to herself. “Now Brooke, come to my altar and lick it clean.”

Brooke glared, “I’m going to eat you out, but you still aren’t my goddess, you understand?”

“Whatever you say.” Laura held another vial over her crotch, but Brooke caught Laura’s wrist.

Brooke pried the vial out of Laura’s grasp, not that Laura tried that hard to resist. Brooke leaned forward. “No, and be grateful I didn’t uncork this and shove it down your throat.” Brooke tossed the vial onto the bed. Brooke then went down between Laura’s legs and slowly tasted her. Laura relaxed as the pleasure washed over her. It was a slow and steady sensation that built. As Laura felt that she was approaching a climax, the pleasure she was feeling plateaued. Brooke didn’t stop, and Laura quickly realized what Brooke desired. She felt it radiating off her.

That’s when Laura recalled something about Brooke’s TF that had her going down on others. It’s meant for her to be able to go down for an extended period of time. Fuck! That feels good! I bet she got skills to make sure she doesn’t have to come up too quickly. Damn! Laura began breathing hard. Brooke brought her closer and closer to the edge, but she somehow knew exactly when to pull back.

Sadie propped herself up on one elbow and stared at Laura’s glistening body. Sadie lightly caressed Laura’s breasts with one finger. “Oh my Goddess, you look rather frustrated right now.” Laura’s legs were squirming, but Brooke’s strength was also superhuman, and with leverage on her side was able to hold Laura’s legs apart with one arm wrapped around each. “I’d consider helping you for a price.” Sadie then turned to the camera, getting into the spirit of things, “What do you think, Chat? Should I help her?” She saw a flurry of responses followed by a poll appearing with ‘yes, for a price,’ quickly winning a majority of the vote. Sadie picked up the vial of breast expansion potion and eyed it. “Hmm, what do you think?” Chat seemed to love the idea Sadie was implying, “Nah!” Sadie threw the vial over her shoulder, and it shattered on the floor. “I think you need to pay a proper price for the stunts you’ve pulled so far. Right Chat?” Chat overwhelmingly agreed.

Laura slammed the bed with a fist as she grabbed the sheets in each hand as Brooke once again brought her so very close to an orgasm. Laura exclaimed, “What the fuck did you have in mind? DAMNIT BROOKE FUCKING FINISH ME OFF!”

Brooke did not push to follow that order. She didn’t need to; she was happy to go down and stay down on another woman when ordered. Brooke knew if Laura ordered her to stop, she’d lose interest, but exactly how she went down on someone was still completely up to her.

Sadie got up and strode off the set, only to come back to the bed a moment later with a set of vials. “I’ve got five vials here. Chat suggested them. One is an orgasm denial potion that works like your delayed gratification spell; you’ll still get them, but you won’t know when that will be. One is a single permanent cup size increase. One removes your purchased contraceptive and prevents you from buying one for twenty-four hours. One will make you experience every orgasm your partners do for the rest of the round. The last one will make you show your true feelings towards everyone, for twenty-four hours. You just need to pick one of these vials for me to give you. Alas, I’ve forgotten which is which; oh well, you’ll have to take your chances. ”

“AH! Sadie, absolutely not!” Laura exclaimed as she tried to pull her legs together and squeeze down on Brooke’s head, but she just couldn’t manage it in her current state.

Sadie nodded, “Okay, that’s fine. Goddess, I love the expression on your face right now.” Sadie looked at Laura dreamily as she sprawled out on her stomach and propped up her head on both hands so she could just stare at Laura’s face while bouncing her feet off her butt. “I’m not forcing you or anything. I wonder how long Brooke can stay down there without breathing? I think the world record is something close to thirty minutes. That assumes she can’t breathe through her nose while down there either. I’m willing to bet she could just go for hours and hours and hours.”

Brooke let out a snort of amusement between Laura’s legs.

Laura pleaded with Sadie, “Please, Sadie. Please Brooke. End this. I’m so close.”

Sadie smugly tapped the vials. “I’ve named the price of my help.”

“I don’t believe you that you don’t know which vial is which.” Laura said, “Take out the permanent BE potion and replace it with something else.”

Sadie tapped a finger on her lips. “No, I don’t think I will. I’ll make a compromise, though. I’ll take it out, but you have to take two of the others.”

Brooke pulled back for just a moment to say, “In case you’re wondering I can probably stay down here for a day or more.”

Laura groaned, “Fine, I’ll take two but not the permanent one.”

Sadie immediately plucked the second from Laura’s left out of the rack of vials and asked, “So which two do you want?”

Laura stared at the vials, annoyed. I knew she was lying about mixing them up. At least she didn’t mess with me by leaving the permanent cup size increase in the mix. Laura had actually realized which was which as Sadie listed off the properties. She wasn’t sure exactly why she knew which was which, besides that she was a goddess of desire and that these all fell under her domain. I’m definitely going to teach both of these blasphemers a lesson after this.

Laura examined the potions more closely. Okay, they all do as advertised. So that immediately takes out the orgasm sharing potion. I’ll have so many orgasms thanks to Brooke’s Nueclear Sub. I don’t want to get that loopy. The orgasm delaying potion is for… WHAT A WHOLE WEEK! FUCK THAT! Absolutely not. Which leaves the other two. Why did I agree to take two of these again instead of just picking one of them before? Well, I’ll just keep my mouth shut for a day, and it isn’t like Mary can get me pregnant. Then I can just buy a new contraceptive at the beginning of the next round.

Laura frustratingly panted out, “I’ll take the leftmost and rightmost vials.”

Sadie smirked, “I thought you would see things my way.” Sadie plucked both the vials up and handed them to Laura. Laura double-checked that these were the correct vials before uncorking them, which they were. She uncorked them and swiftly downed both vials immediately.

As soon as Laura swallowed, Sadie straddled her waist and started to fondle Laura’s massive tits, while pressing her own into them as she leaned over to kiss Laura. Laura passionately returned the kiss. The extra stimulation easily pushed Laura over the edge, as she had a powerful orgasm. She ran her fingers through Sadie’s hair and gripped tightly, causing Sadie to let out a small squeak from the pain as Laura pushed their lips tighter together.

When Brooke released Laura’s legs, Laura immediately wrapped them around Brooke’s head tightly and firmly held it in place. Only after a good thirty seconds did Laura relax and let Sadie go, but she continued to hold Brooke firmly in place. Brooke was tapping the side of Laura’s legs, indicating she wanted Laura to let her go. Laura looked at Sadie. “Would you mind getting off me?” Sadie nodded and rolled to the side, flopping on her back. Laura sat up, continuing to keep Brooke between her legs despite Brooke trying to pry them apart. This time, Laura had the leverage and her legs locked together. “You wanted to talk later, and I promise you we will be talking, Brooke, as I’ve got quite a few choice things to say about your conduct, yours too, actually, Sadie. But right now we’ve got a show to finish, and we’re only about sixty percent of the way there. But luckily, quite a few people offered BP for every orgasm. Laura reached down and grabbed Brooke by the waist as she released Brooke’s head.

“You’re the one—” Laura picked up Brooke, cutting her off as she threw her on the bed.

Laura said, “Smile for the camera, Brooke.” Then she released her spell, causing Brooke to immediately orgasm again and again and again as the two initial orgasms set off separate chain reactions. Laura watched as the donations skyrocketed, exceeding their goal considerably. Five minutes later, when Brooke had finally stopped moving, Laura approached the edge of the stage and bowed. “And that, my devotees, is tonight's show. Don’t forget to pre-order the Harem Hotel: Missed Encounters Limited Edition Media Box set, which will include an exclusive Orgasming Brooke Plushie. Don’t miss out on your chance to memorialize her expression in plushies. And as always, don’t forget to keep in your prayers the poor innocent dragons that just want to collect cute, soft, toys. Bye!”

The red light on the camera died, and Sadie let out a sigh of relief. “OH THANK GOD!” Sadie exclaimed.

Laura quipped, “Don’t you mean Thank Goddess?”

“No, I don’t. Curse you, Goddess.” Sadie was absolutely scarlet at this point. “I-I-I-I can’t believe I just did any of that! Okay, not you and me kissing. But like everything else! How could you do that so calmly? We just performed for an audience.”

Laura put her hands on her hips. “Sadie, I’ll remind you again that this is all broadcast live. A large chunk of those viewers are likely still watching us. Like right now. Probably staring at our newly enhanced busts. Do you like yours?”

Sadie hefted them in her hands, “They’re heavy… but damn, do they look good. Think I could convince Mary or Cassandra to make something like this permanent?”

Laura shook her head. “No.”

Sadie deflated slightly, but not her breasts. “Why not?”

Laura started to explain, “Sadie, you know how Mary has a fetish for transformations?” She nodded. “You currently have the smallest bust size; even Hilde is a cup size bigger than you, and you’re not that much taller than her. You haven’t really had the chance to interact with her much, but Ellen will likely make your breasts bigger whenever you want and whatever size you want. Mary would love to watch that happen. So no, it won’t be happening that yours get bigger unless you spend your BP on it in the store.”

Sadie pouted, and she looked absolutely adorable. She stood and picked up her gown and shimmied into it. As she tried to pull it up around her new bust, she found that it was incredibly tight and her boobs would keep popping out. She groaned, “OH COME ON! These are magical; shouldn’t they resize?”

Laura laughed at that assumption. “On this show? You must be joking. Though it might actually provide more protection now since it covers less.”

Sadie pulled up her stat page, and she said, “Well fuck me, you’re right.”

Laura grinned, “Maybe later, Sadie, maybe later. For now, we need to talk. Brooke too.”

“Well, she’s sort of out of it still,” Sadie replied.

Laura used Induce Impulse for the first time in a long while to try and get Brooke to slap herself while activating her boon. Brooke moved her hand but wasn’t successful the first time. When Laura did it again, Brooke managed to slap herself across the face, causing her to regain a lot of clarity. “Huh… wha, happened? I feel fuzzy. That was nice.” Laura cast the spell a third time, and Brooke slapped herself hard across the face and was brought back to her senses. Brooke then looked at Laura. “Did you just do something to get me to slap myself?”

“Yes.” Laura saw no reason to deny it. “You needed to recover; that was the fastest way.”

Brooke conceded that with a nod. “Now we need to talk about what just happened.”

“Yes, we do.” Laura replied, “Now shut up and listen because I’m talking first.

Brooke glared at Laura but found herself letting Laura go first.

Laura scowled back at Brooke, “Good. First, Brooke, you threatening me for teasing you about giving you a second vial was not okay.” Brooke was about to interrupt, and Laura reflexively poked Brooke with her aura. “No, you are going to be quiet and let me finish. I specifically asked if I could try to get you to take a vial. I made absolutely sure that you were okay with me attempting that when you declined initially. You said that was okay and I could try.”

Laura was really building up a head of steam: “Now, unless you lied to me about how your transformation works, you weren’t forced to eat Sadie out. You wanted to do that. Did I have something to do with that? Sure, but you desired it enough that you’d consume the potion anyway. So to then threaten me while the vial was still corked was not okay.” Laura then turned on Sadie. “As for you, including the permanent vial in the options after I explicitly told Brooke nothing permanent was crossing a line. The only reason I didn’t stop everything is that we needed to pass this room to complete the temple, and stopping would likely have resulted in the stream ending, and we would have gotten punished for failing.”

Laura then turned back to Brooke: “You also shouldn’t have let what she did slide, and could have easily stopped her.”

Brooke took a deep breath. “You done?” Laura nodded. “Good, then I expect you to be quiet until I finish. You wronged me first, so I don’t want to hear shit about crossing a line. First, you didn’t ask if you could cast that delayed orgasm spell on me. Then you threaten to extend it on me as part of a bet I didn’t agree to. I told you to stop acting like my goddess, and you didn’t. I’m not one of your devotees. Do I make myself clear?” Laura didn’t reply as she figured Brooke wasn’t done. “There’s also the matter of how you acted in general during this entire thing, and when you pushed me with your Aura to lick Sadie and consume the vial.”

“Wait, when I did what?” Laura asked defensively.

“That last command you gave me before I started licking Sadie, I felt your aura in those words. They affected me differently from the other times you ordered me to go down on her. I couldn’t think of anything else for several seconds, and by the time I could, I had already started and couldn’t stop myself.”

Laura frowned, “I didn’t mean to do that. I’m sorry.”

“But you did, and right after I told you not to act like my goddess.”

Laura deflated further, “Okay, I now understand why you were pissed. I’m sorry. It doesn’t make what you did okay either, but I didn’t mean to use my aura.”

“But you were acting like a goddess when I told you not to, and considering your problem with Talia, that seems like a really fucking odd thing to do.”

“What do you know about that?” Laura asked, “We didn’t go into specifics.”

“I had an inkling when I first examined your relationship, and then when Mary assigned it as a focus, I got a lot more info. I know you’re fighting because Talia’s worship is making you uncomfortable. You’re worried it’s going to continue to do that. I know that Talia said if you weren’t willing to adapt to new transformations, maybe you should wait until after the show to have any romantic partners within the harem. She’s not wrong, by the way. Plus, it seems you’re adapting fine to being a goddess and being worshiped. You were rather insistent on it with both of us. So here is what’s going to happen, and let me make this perfectly clear: I’m telling you what I’m doing, period.”

Brooke took a deep breath, then continued, “First, I’m telling Talia everything that happened here. That includes telling her about the vials you drank. Second, if you and Talia still want my help, you will be starting the therapy today. If I were you, I’d start thinking of a good way to explain to Talia why you have a problem with her after what you just did.”

Brooke turned to Sadie. “Got anything to add?”

Sadie shook her head, “Not really.”

Brooke then turned back to Laura, “And you?”

“You’re still going to help Talia and me?” Laura asked both hesitantly and hopefully.

Brooke walked over and slapped Laura upside the head, and Laura immediately felt a little better. “Duh. Your family, even if you screw up. Also, I still enjoyed most of that. Finally, Sam’s got her eye set on you, whether you realize it or not. I’m going to straighten out any problems you have with Talia before that begins because I’m not letting you hurt her.”

Laura seemed taken aback by Brooke’s statement about Sam: “I mean, sure, Sam and I like each other, but we’re just figuring things out.”

Brooke shook her head. “No.” She then jabbed Laura’s boob. “You are figuring things out. Sam has already decided that you’re hers and is just trying to figure out how to make you realize that.” Brooke started pacing.

Laura seemed skeptical, “I don’t know… She seemed rather uncertain about anything coming of us because of Talia.”

“Laura, you want to know what I did at the first possible opportunity? I examined every one of Sam’s relationships with each of you and some people I know outside of the show. In terms of strength, it goes, Me, Mary, her uncle, Allie, You, her siblings, Her mother. I’m actually surprised by the strength with Mary, and it jumped up a lot after they had sex. You’re nearly as important to her as Allie, and you two aren’t even dating yet.”

“Wait a second,” Laura said, putting up a hand. “I outrank her siblings and her mom?”

Brooke nodded. “She loves them, don’t misunderstand. Talia told me about how someone talked about her sister taking her place at the beginning of the show. That individual is going to regret that one day. Mark my words. She doesn’t always get along with her mother, especially since her mother did not like her career choice, even if she understood it.”

Brooke walked over to Laura and smacked her upside the head again, and once again she felt better overall. “So, since Sam wants you, I’m going to fix your problems so they don’t become her problems. I’ll keep hitting you until I’ve fixed your shit or you decide that Sam isn’t for you. At which point I’ll call you a moron but let it go. Finally DO. NOT. TRY TO. CONVERT ME. AGAIN!”

“Okay. I’ll lay off it if I ever order you to go down on me again, but realize you might get affected anyway.” Laura said defensively.

“Fine, but Sam or no if you fuck with me like that intentionally and you’ll regret it. Let’s go. I want to get this stupid temple over with.” Brooke turned towards the next door and started walking.

Laura felt really awkward about what she realized she needed to say. “Brooke… umm… There might be a slight problem…”

Brooke pivoted on her heel and said, “What!?”

“In the previous room… my charitable offering was that I would give out my divine blessing to three people. Specifically, Mary, Sam, and you.”

“Not interested.”

“Please… I’m concerned there might be an issue if you reject it after the fact.”

“Fine, what is this blessing exactly?”

Laura relaxed slightly. “Well, that’s the nice thing: as long as it's something within my domains, and not against my teachings, it can be pretty much whatever you’d like.” Laura then mumbled something Brooke didn’t hear.

“What was that bit at the end?” Brooke said, while glaring at her.

“Umm, there’s technically a ritual to perform to receive it, and I can’t bypass it.”

“A religious ritual… let me guess, it involves acknowledging you as my goddess or something, doesn’t it?”

“Yeees? It did for Talia even before she became my high priestess. You shouldn’t have to be sincere in your words; you just have to say the right ones for me to give you the blessing. That’s what she did the first time.”

Brooke did not look amused. “Yes, and she became your high priestess exactly how long after that?”

“A bit more than a day?” Laura replied, cringing.

Brooke asked, “And why perchance would I do that then?”

“Um…” Laura scratched her head, “Well… you said Sam was already set on me? That might be because she’s starting to convert. There’s also the fact that my blessing could likely help you help Sam.”

Brooke frowned, “That’s a low blow. Fine, what’s this stupid ass prayer I have to say? I hope you understand I’m not going to mean a single word of it.”

Laura said, “Let me get Talia to give me the most appropriate words for you. As there are variations, and for some reason she knows this better than me.”

Laura took a minute to have a mental conversation with Talia and wrote down the prayer, handing Brooke her part.

Laura placed a hand on Brooke’s shoulder and then recited from the page, “Brooke, I, the Goddess Laura, am pleased by your devout offering and praise. I acknowledge your tribute and faithfulness to my teachings, if not me, and bestow upon you my divine blessing. May it guide you towards aiding the ones you care for.”

Brooke replied in as monotone as possible, “I accept your generosity, Laura, goddess of desire. I thank you for your magnanimity and shall use your gift to help those I care for.” A golden light shimmered around Brooke and then faded. “So what was that supposed to do exactly?” Brooke asked and then noticed that Laura stumbled backwards and sat down on the bed. “You okay?”

“Whoa, give me a minute. Apparently, with that debuff from earlier, spending all my mana at once can make me woozy. Luckily, that debuff should almost be gone.”

Sadie said, “Wait, if you just spent all your mana, then we need to wait for a while for it to recover.”

Laura said, “I mean that is one option…” Laura glanced at Brooke. “But I think this will be faster.” Laura returned to the bed and spread her legs. “Brooke, get your ass over and eat me the fuck out and make it fast this time.”

Brooke glared at Laura. She still did it, but she glared the whole time.

---

As the trio entered the next chamber, they were weary. There were seven statues on one side and eight on the other. Each was on a plinth in an alcove. Sadie asked, “How are we supposed to fight fifteen of them at once? We’ve never had to fight that many before.”

Laura examined the motionless statues from just outside the room. “True, and we’ve always had a way to reduce the number of statues we had to fight before fighting them. This doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Brooke asked, “Could the last room have determined how many statues we faced here? We did exceed the goal by quite a bit.”

Laura considered that. “I suppose it is odd that it kept going after we met the goal. Be prepared for a fight regardless.” With that, the three entered the room together, and nothing happened. They slowly made their way across the room and made it to the exit on the other side, and still nothing happened.”

Sadie’s eye twitched. “Laura… you do realize this means we didn’t need to do like half of the stuff we did, right? We could have easily fought several statues.”

“I’m not sure that’s true with my debuff going… oh look at that, it just expired.” Laura ended cheerfully.

Brooke put a sympathetic hand on Sadie’s shoulder. “What’s done is done. At least we just get to stroll past this room.”

Laura nodded her agreement. “Now we just have the dumbest mechanic Cassandra has come up with. We have to sit and wait, filling up an orb with mana.”

Brooke frowned, “That does suck. Maybe I can just stab it a bunch instead.”

Laura said, “I hope so. Let’s get going. I don’t want to have to camp out this evening.”
