A Game of Hot Dildo

Heather and Piper strode into the lobby after one of the worst elevator rides they had experienced so far. Each of them braced themselves against the wall to let their nausea pass.

Piper asked, “Why did you want to explore the lobby?”

After a few deep breaths, Heather stood upright and moved towards the main doors of the lobby. “Because I haven’t seen anything else that looks like it would lead outside besides these doors.” Heather's heels clicked loudly on the marble-tiled floor, and Piper hurried after her. Just as they got to the front door, Delilah appeared in front of them with her back leaning against one of the two large double doors.

Delilah gave them a wicked, toothy smile. “Well, good morning to you both. Can I help you find something?”

Heather said, “I want to know what’s beyond that door; you said we could explore.”

Delilah stepped to the side and gestured with an outstretched hand. “Be my guest. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I won’t stop you.”

Heather was about to move to open the door when Piper put a hand on her shoulder to stop her. Piper asked Delilah, “What’s out there?”

Delilah leaned down towards the much shorter woman and condescendingly said, “Where do you think a demoness would live?”

Piper asked, “You’re saying that out those doors is Hell?”

Delilah nodded, “Technically a hell, in this case, the Yawning Abyss. As I said, I can’t recommend mortals like yourself staring into the Abyss.”

Heather asked, “If it’s so dangerous, why is there even a door here we can access?”

Delilah replied coldly, “Because you bitches aren’t the only ones here.”

Delilah did not block the doorway but instead simply stood right next to it, waiting to see if they would be stupid enough to actually try opening the door still.

Heather doubted that Delilah was being serious and believed she was just fucking with the two of them for the fun of it. She stepped towards the door, which was when Delilah said, “Zachary.” Heather stumbled forward and onto her knees as she heard the name, and a jolt of pleasure ran through her. Delilah reached down and pulled Heather to her feet and then grabbed her face, forcing her to look up and into Delilah’s eyes. “Let me be clear, you cheating skank, I will replace you if you go and fuck up your sanity. Maybe I’ll do a two-for-one thing and bring on both of your sisters. I’m sure Zachary,” Heather convulsed from the pleasure shooting through her, “would much rather have to tolerate them than you.” Delilah let Heather go, and Heather collapsed to her knees. “But again, be my guest; I gave you your warning.” Delilah vanished in a puff of brimstone smoke.

Piper helped Heather to her feet. “Maybe we should try somewhere else.”

Heather said, “She just doesn’t want us going through there because it’s important.”

Piper frowned. “Maybe… I don’t think so, though. If you want to go through the doors, let me leave first. I don’t want to risk it.”

Heather sighed, “Fine, we’ll look elsewhere.”

Piper was relieved Heather wasn’t going to try to open the door. “Thank you. Now, was the front door the only reason you wanted to start here?”

“Pretty much,” Heather confirmed. “Though it is a logical place to move out from as well.” Heather gestured towards three different exits besides the elevators.

“Well, let’s get started then,” Piper replied, heading towards the exit on the left side of the lobby.

After Lynn had stormed out, she roamed the halls aimlessly for a while. She was pissed. Why? Why can’t he see that I did that for him? She slammed the side of her fist against the hallway wall. Damnit! Lynn continued stomping through the halls while trying to calm herself, but it wasn’t helping. I’m just trying to help.

Lynn leaned against the wall, slumped down to the floor, and pulled her knees in close. She silently screamed into her knees, as she didn’t want anyone else coming across her like this. When she finally looked up, she saw a set of double doors across from her. She was fairly certain there wasn’t a set of doors there a moment ago. Feeling a bit reckless and curious, she got up and went inside the new room.

It was dark inside, and she fumbled around for a light switch. Before she could find one, the door slammed shut loudly behind her. She spun towards the door, moving to leave when a set of spotlights coming from further in the room blinded her momentarily. She held her hand up to shield her eyes as music began to play, reminding Lynn of a carnival or a game show.

The spotlights spun around the room until finally landing on a stage, confirming to Lynn this was some sort of game show as she saw Pita floating next to a large wheel with a microphone in hand. Pita exclaimed loudly as if speaking to an unseen audience. “Welcome, my perverted Ghosts and Ghasts! We have a special event for you today. It’s this season of Harem Hotel’s first PARTY WHEEL GAME!” Pita thrust a hand towards the large wheel behind her, which had lights that lit up momentarily as it played some jingle that Lynn didn’t recognize. “We have a very special guest today too! My friend and favorite contestant this season, LYNN!” A spotlight whirled to highlight Lynn once again. This time she managed not to get blinded by it as she shielded her eyes with her hand. Pita exuberantly said, “LYNN, come on up here!”

Lynn looked behind her and saw the door was gone. Guess I don’t have a choice. At least Pita is nice. Lynn strode across the room and up a short set of stairs and onto the stage. Lynn asked, “So what exactly is this?”

Pita beamed at the question. “I’m so glad you asked! This is the Party Wheel! While most of our viewers are familiar with it, Lynn here isn’t, so please bear with me as I explain.” Pita turned to face Lynn. “So, we here at Harem Hotel have found that sometimes things get a bit boring for the contestants when they aren’t on their dates with their darling Master or Mistress. So, we’ve looked for ways to liven things up for the other contestants. This is one such solution.” Pita gestured to the wheel. “You’ll see that there are many party games on the wheel. Depending on what you land on, either you or you and some of the other contestants will play a party game. So Lynn, if you would, SPIN! THE! WHEEL!” A chorus of voices joined Pita's shouting seemingly from nowhere.

Lynn smiled weakly at Pita. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Lynn stepped over to the wheel and examined some of the games. She saw standard games like tag, never have I ever, and Mafia. Then there were things she had no clue about, like ‘Olympic Rings’, ‘Tits Up’, and ‘Where’s Dildo?’. The last one really confused her, and she was starting to get worried about what was going to happen. Pita saw her hesitating and inclined her head towards the wheel while smiling excitedly.

Figuring she didn’t really have a choice reached up and spun the wheel as hard as she could. The wheel ticked by as it spun, and Pita bounced in the air, super excited. The wheel started to slow, and it nearly stopped on ‘Put the Tail on the Bitch’ but it barely ticked over to ‘Hot Dildo’ at the last moment.

Pita squealed in delight. Lynn asked, “What is Hot Dildo?”

Pita was so excited, and a large pink dildo appeared in her hand. “This is the Hot Dildo. I believe you silly mortals use a potato instead. Or was it a cucumber?” Pita shrugged. “I can never remember. Anyway, the game is simple: don’t be the one with the dildo when time runs out.”

“How will I know how long I have?” Lynn asked. “Also, how am I supposed to find anyone else? Or will they be coming here too?”

“See, that’s the best part of the game. The others don’t know they are playing yet.” Pita tossed the dildo to Lynn, and she extended a hand involuntarily to catch it. It really was hot. Not so hot that she would drop it, but still uncomfortable to hold. Lynn had wanted to drop it anyway but found that she literally couldn’t.

Lynn worriedly asked, holding out the dildo in front of her. “How do I get rid of this?”

Pita said, “You just have to pass it off to another contestant. They won’t be able to refuse taking it, and you can even toss it at them, and they will be compelled to catch it. A few more rules before we actually set you loose. First, you can’t pass it back to whoever passed it to you, but everyone else is fair game. Second, you’ll notice two timers on the dildo. The shorter one is how long the current contestant has to pass it to another one before they are removed from the game. If they get removed, it will return to the last player holding the dildo before them. The second timer is for the end of the game. Third, if you look at the dildo, you’ll notice a few arrows hovering around it. Those show the shortest path towards each other contestant.”

Lynn asked, “Is there a way to tell who each one is, or which is actually closest?”

“Nope!” Pita beamed. “Though there won’t be an arrow for the contestant that passes you the dildo. So you know that they are all valid targets.”

Lynn looked and only saw four arrows, each a different color. “Why aren’t there five arrows? You said the other contestants were playing this game.”

Pita said, “True, but I also said that this was for the contestants NOT on a date with their Master.”

Lynn nodded, “Okay, what happens if we lose? Or win for that matter?”

“Anyone removed from the game will be penalized. Anyone left standing at the end of the game will be rewarded. The game will end when either the second timer hits zero or only one player is remaining. Also, as soon as a contestant gets the dildo, they will know all these rules as well. Finally, your phone will only be able to contact your Master, Delilah, or me for the duration of the game.”

Lynn asked, “What penalty?”

Pita smiled, “That’s a surprise. Good luck, Lynn. Your time starts… NOW!”

As Pita said that, the double doors reappeared and opened to a hallway. All four arrows immediately pointed towards the open door. Lynn saw she had thirty minutes until she had to pass off the dildo. Her first instinct was to bolt out the door, but she took a deep breath. This is going to be a long game. I don’t want to get too tired right out the gate. She moved at a brisk pace, somewhere between a power walk and a jog, following the arrows. As soon as she left the room where the game started, the doors behind her disappeared, and two arrows pointed down one way, and the others pointed the opposite way. Not having any way to figure out who was who, she just picked the blue arrow and moved.

Piper and Heather had been opening door after door and found nothing impressive. Mostly different bedrooms. None were what they would call normal, but most were better than the one they were staying in. They managed to stumble upon the pool, but since they could get there by the elevator, it was a letdown.

About an hour into their search, they heard hurried footsteps coming towards them around the corner up ahead. They paused about ten feet from the end of the hall just in case they needed to run the other direction, as they remembered Delilah warning them that the hotel wasn’t completely safe.

The footsteps slowed as they approached the corner, and Lynn came around it. She looked like she had been running. Lynn panted out, “Oh, good, I managed to find someone.” Lynn put her hands on her hips, taking in deep lungfuls of air.

Piper asked, “Lynn, what’s wrong?”

Heather and Piper hesitantly approached Lynn but still gave her some distance. They waited for her to catch her breath.

Lynn glanced at her watch, which she set with a countdown timer to go off three minutes before she ran out of time on the dildo. It had a bit more than two minutes remaining on it. She just breathed, letting another minute tick off on the timer, so she would also be good to run away as soon as she passed it off. Lynn said, “I found an interesting room, but… well, you’ll find out soon enough.” Lynn slid her hand into her pocket and pulled out the dildo and tossed it towards Heather, saying, “Catch.” Then she ran back down the hall she had come from.

Heather’s hand moved involuntarily to catch the dildo, and its heat caused her to reflexively push it away from her, which luckily for her was towards Piper. Piper then caught the thing. Both had just had all the rules shoved into their brains and their eyes went wide. Piper said, “Go that way but wait for me.” Piper pointed the way they had come from. She took a few steps forward to the end of the hall and saw Lynn running away. She pulled her arm back and threw it as hard as she could towards Lynn.

Lynn swore as a hand extended back to catch the dildo, and Piper moved back the way she had come around the corner. Heather hadn’t begun moving, and Piper pushed her. “MOVE! Stay in front of me. MOVE NOW!” Heather kicked off her heels and started running.

Heather looked over her shoulder at Piper, who was staying right behind her. “Why do I need to stay in front of you?”

“The rules of the game say Lynn can’t pass it back to me. So she won’t be able to just toss it like I did if I’m between you and her.” Piper looked over her shoulder and saw Lynn had just rounded the corner. “Head towards the pool. We’ll use the elevator to escape; she’ll be able to easily follow otherwise.” Heather nodded.

Lynn shouted, “Get back here!” She sprinted after the two of them. She tried to toss the dildo at Heather, but Piper’s strategy worked to prevent Lynn from tossing it. She kept following the black arrow and noticed that the blue one had disappeared. So there is a way to tell who is who. She lost sight of the pair momentarily a few times, but thanks to the arrow, she could always tell which way to go. She entered the pool and saw the two of them in the elevator and tried to toss the dildo before the doors closed, but again Piper thwarted her. Before she could cross the room and reach the elevator, the doors closed, causing the black arrow to spin around wildly. “FUCK!” Lynn noticed that the red and yellow arrows were both pointing towards the second elevator. She also noticed something more alarming: the time she had left was already down to twenty-three minutes. “How? I wasn’t running after them for seven minutes.” She looked at the end-of-game timer and did the math. “Double fuck. The time gets shorter when it’s passed off.” Lynn entered the elevator and found the arrows pointing towards two different buttons, with the black arrow still spinning. One was the contestant rooms and the other was the cafeteria. She pressed the cafeteria option and hoped that the elevator ride wouldn’t take too long.

Xin had just finished lunch with Zachary and was somewhat surprised by how easily the two had conversed, and it had definitely caused her to see him more as a person and less as a role like her professor or the supposed Master of their group. She decided to head towards the garden where she had had tea with Zachary and Lynn a few days ago, so she could just sit and relax until her afternoon lesson.

She had been strolling through the flower garden when she heard someone running towards her. She turned around and saw Lynn sprinting towards her in a panic. Lynn leaned forward, panting. She gasped out, “Xin… Sorry about this…” Lynn held out the dildo, and Xin felt no choice but to take it from her.

Xin swore, “Damnit! Seriously?” Xin moved to leave, but Lynn grabbed her wrist.

“Wait a second. I want to help you here.” Lynn said, still gasping for air.

“Then why not give it to someone else?”

“Piper and Heather… they’re working together. I passed it off to Heather; she quickly passed it off to Piper, who passed it back to me. Piper then ran interference and prevented me from passing it to Heather. If you just go on your own, they’ll be able to do that to you too. So either we need to work together, or you need to pass it off to Melinda. The red arrow should be Melinda.”

Xin looked at the arrows and frowned, “There isn’t a red arrow. I have purple, green, and white.”

Lynn said, “Damn, I guess the colors are all individualized, so we can’t share info like that. I’m willing to bet that two are together; that will be Heather and Piper.”

Xin scowled, “Fine, I guess if they are actually working together, it would be foolish to go it alone. We need to hurry, though.”

Lynn nodded and moved into the hall quickly. Xin said, “Okay, two arrows point that way and one towards the elevator over here.”

Lynn replied, “The elevator is likely the contestant rooms, which will be Melinda. The elevator took around eight minutes when I used it to get near here.”

Xin said, “I think I’d rather go after Melinda since she is solo. I think if the other two meet up with her, they’ll team up with her, and then it would be three vs two.”

Lynn just nodded, and they rode the elevator to the contestant rooms. The ride took a relatively short period of time, and they found the arrow pointing into Melinda’s room. They pushed the door open and began to hear muffled moans of pleasure coming from further in the room. Xin blushed slightly but hurried into the room looking for Melinda, but could not find her, so she followed the sounds of pleasure emanating from the back. She reached the sleeping pod and could hear the sounds from within. Xin tried opening the pod but couldn’t find a way. There was a button on the outside of the pod, but it didn’t do anything when pressed. Xin turned around and told Lynn, “I think she’s sealed in the pod. We can’t get to her.”

Lynn grabbed Xin by the wrist and pulled her towards the elevator. “Then we don’t have any time to waste here.”

The two got back on the elevator and found that the gardens were still the closest option to the other two, and it did appear that they were still together. As they rode the elevator, Xin said, “You realize Melinda being locked away is a problem, right?”

Lynn asked, “Why?”

“It means that the game can only end with her as the last woman standing or when the game timer runs out.”

“Shit. What do we do then?”

Xin hesitated to respond, but said, “I think we need to come to an agreement with Piper and Heather. Logically, the best result would be only one person being stuck with the dildo at the end and everyone else getting a reward.”

Lynn asked, “Yeah, but are you willing to be the one to take the hit? I’m certainly not. I don’t think Heather or Piper would be willing to either.”

Xin shook her head. “You aren’t seeing the bigger issue.” Xin looked at the timer. Noticing she had less than fifteen minutes left. “If I don’t pass this off, you’ll get it back. Then if you don’t pass it off, Piper will get it, then Heather will be stuck with it after that. We’ll all lose because we’ll be left holding it, since it can’t be passed to Melinda.”

“Shit, and with the time between passes getting shorter with each pass, we wouldn’t last until the end of the game if it just keeps being passed off.”

“The time gets shorter?” Xin said, alarmed.

Lynn nodded, “I think it’s one minute shorter than the last person had. Not sure if that will change as things continue.” The elevator opened with a ding and they found Piper and Heather on the other side of the doors. No one moved for a moment, then Piper and Heather took off running.

Xin stepped out of the elevator and shouted after them, “WAIT! I have the dildo; I won’t pass it! I just want to talk!”

Piper and Heather stopped at the end of the hall around a corner, with Heather peering around the corner. “DON’T COME ANY CLOSER! IN FACT, GET BACK IN THE ELEVATOR AND HAVE LYNN KEEP IT OPEN. YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS, OR WE’RE GONE!”

Xin complied and stepped back into the elevator.

Heather stopped shouting but kept her voice raised, “You wanted to talk, so talk.” Lynn was about to say something, but Heather said, “Not you! We aren’t trusting you, Lynn.”

Lynn glared at Heather, but said nothing. Xin spoke as loud as she could without actually screaming. “We all have a problem.”

Heather shouted back, “Right now it seems like it’s you who got shafted by Lynn.”

“True, but I hope you two realize that at least one of you is losing if you run away from us now.”

Piper scowled in confusion as she looked at Heather. Piper said around the corner, “How do you figure that?”

“Because of the rules. If I don’t pass this off to one of you two in the next thirteen minutes, I’m out, and Lynn will get it. Either she’ll manage to pass it off to one of you, or she’ll also be out and then Piper, you’ll be left holding the dildo.”

Piper retorted, “You could always go for Melinda.”

Xin said, “No, we can’t. We actually tried that first. She’s locked in her sleeping pod; we can’t pass it off to her. She’ll be the last woman standing, simply because she’s locked away. We need to come to an agreement here, or we’ll all suffer.”

Piper whispered to Heather, “If she’s telling the truth about Melinda, she’s not wrong; we’d be screwed too. At most one of us would manage to make it.”

Heather asked, “Why should we believe you about Melinda? Maybe she just managed to get away from you.”

Xin replied, “Why would she run? She wouldn’t know about the game before I passed it off, and if I did, then Lynn would be holding this, not me, and we’d have considerably more time remaining on the dildo.”

Piper swore quietly, “Shit.” Piper stepped out from behind the corner. “Promise you won’t pass it off while we talk unless you are nearly out of time and promise to take it back if we don’t reach an accord, and we’ll let you two come over here.”

Xin said, “I swear.”

Piper looked to Heather. Heather just sighed and nodded. Piper said, “Alright, you two can come over here.” Xin checked the timer and saw she was now below ten minutes remaining. She walked down the hall and held the dildo at her side.

Xin said, “Thank you for trusting me.”

Piper said, “Talk fast; what are you proposing here?”

Xin said, “I think we should play the game such that only one of us loses. We could all lose if we don’t.”

Piper nodded, “Okay, but how do we determine who loses?”

Xin replied, “I can think of a few ways, but they all involve the four of us working together to run down the clock. Lynn told me that she noticed the time given between passes gets shorter each pass. I assume there is some minimum pass time, though. So option one is we kill as much time as possible, and then we play traditional hot potato. We sit in a circle and pass it around, and whoever is left holding it at the end loses. Alternatively, we could draw straws, but from what Lynn already said to me, I don’t think whoever draws the short straw will follow through. We could also kill time, and instead of sitting in a circle at the end, we could limit the play area instead. Maybe to the gardens. The risk there is that we might have multiple losses doing it like that.”

Piper considered the offer, “Okay, fine. I’m down for the first option. How long do you have left?”

Xin looked at the timer and saw a bit over six minutes, and held it up to show Piper.

Piper turned towards Heather and gave Lynn a quick glance. “What about you two? This is really an all-or-nothing sort of deal. Either we all agree to run out the clock, or it won’t work.”

Heather said, “I’d like to point out that technically three of us could run down the clock while tracking the fourth and simply stick someone with it. Say the one who was responsible for starting this crap in the first place.” Heather looked pointedly towards Lynn.

Lynn replied heatedly, “I just randomly found a room and couldn’t leave once I was in there. This isn’t my fault. You two could have just as easily stumbled into the room. You were both clearly exploring. If it hadn’t been me, it likely would have been one or both of you.”

Xin said, “Besides, I wouldn’t cooperate with that.” Lynn looked at Xin gratefully.

Heather said, “Fine, I’m in, but Lynn isn’t allowed to be next to me in the circle. I don’t trust her not to hold onto the dildo until the last second and then pass it to me at the end, and I’m sure she feels the same way towards me.”

Xin said, “Great, Lynn?”

“Fine, I’m in,” Lynn said reluctantly.

Xin said, “Great, so the hand-off order is me, Heather, Piper, Lynn, me, and so forth. That work for everyone?”

Lynn replied, “No, actually. I want it reversed. You’re the only one I actually trust to just pass it to me, Xin, and not hold it to screw me over.”

Piper frowned, “Meaning you can hold it to screw me instead of Xin.”

Lynn said, “Piper, the one I want to lose this is her.” Lynn inclined her head towards Heather. “So you can be assured I’ll get you the dildo with time to pass it off. I just think that you might prefer I lose rather than Heather or Xin.”

Piper sighed, “Fine, whatever.”

Xin said, “Great, I’m glad we could resolve this civilly. But um… first, Piper, you’ll need to take it next so we can fix the handoff order since I can’t pass it to Lynn. I have three minutes left.”

“Fine, give it to me at thirty seconds.”

Xin nodded. “There is one other thing… I’m… I’m scheduled to practice my piano this afternoon… So either you’ll all have to stay and listen to me play or trust that I won’t try and skip out when it’s over.”

Lynn asked, “How are you doing on your arousal?”

Xin said, “Mostly fine; it pretty much bottomed out this morning. I don’t think it will be too bad by my practice time.”

Lynn said, “Then I think we should all stay and listen to you play. It will be good for them to experience hearing you play since it will almost certainly happen eventually.”

Piper didn’t seem to mind, but Heather seemed hesitant. Heather said, “I think I’d be fine waiting nearby, and you can come get me when you’re done.”

Lynn retorted, “Leaving the rest of us hornier because you wouldn’t share the burden.”

Heather scowled down at Lynn. “Some of us can’t get themselves off, so back off.”

Piper glanced at Heather. “You really want to stick with that reason, Heather?”

Heather grumbled, “FINE! I’ll listen happy?”

Piper shrugged, “Not really, just keeping you honest.”

Lynn was intrigued by the interaction between the two of them and made a note to ask Piper about it later.

The rest of the afternoon passed slowly with them waiting until less than a minute remained on the timer before passing off the dildo. Xin’s practice session was less eventful than any of them had expected it to be. Her arousal had passively increased a bit but not a lot. The largest spike was actually from having the other three watching her as she played. When she reached the end of her session and her arousal transferred to the three listeners, it was barely noticeable to them. If not for a momentary flash in their heads of Xin doing something with them, none of the three were sure they could have noticed that her transformation had actually activated.

Lynn received a quick vision of the kiss she and Xin had shared that morning, with one change: Xin was the one pushing Lynn up against the wall.

Heather was startled when she saw and partially felt Xin slap her hard across the cheek, causing it to turn pink in the vision.

Piper just saw herself as a quivering naked mess on the floor. Piper asked, “What is up with the mental pictures? Your transformation didn’t say anything about that, unless I’m misremembering.”

Lynn said, “It doesn’t mention it, but it does consistently happen. I think it is baked into the transfer of arousal portion of it. We get flashes of things that turn Xin on. Though it seems like what we see, or experience, is affected by how horny she is, because this was incredibly short in comparison to some of the other times I’ve helped her. There have been a few times I’ve gotten something like a minute-long scenario, and I could feel a lot of it.”

Piper asked, “Does it always involve the listener?”

Lynn shook her head, “No, but it often does.”

Xin was blushing a bit from them discussing her sexual fantasies so openly, even if they weren’t discussing details. Xin said, “Could we please move on from this?”

Lynn shook her head. “Sorry, Xin, but I actually think this is important to discuss, because I’m willing to bet if the arousal we get is small enough, we won’t get the visions at all.”

Xin complained, “Yeah, but that’s never going to be the case.”

Piper saw where Lynn was going with this and said, “Maybe while we’re here, but what about back home? You’re stuck with that for life. I think you might need to become a professional musician, honestly. That way you can spread it out to hundreds or thousands of people, and they won’t see you doing lewd things in their heads.” Piper looked deep in thought for a moment. “I just thought about something, and I think we should test it at some point. What if you record a song while horny as hell?”

Xin said, “I don’t think that would do anything. It says I have to play for others for my arousal to decrease.”

Piper shrugged, “So? You would be playing for your fans. It doesn’t say a live audience does it?”

Xin hesitantly said, “Nooo, but earlier in the transformation it does mention part of the reason for this is I don’t like playing in front of people.”

Heather said, “I’m not sure why. You’re quite skilled.”

Xin weakly replied, “I’m really not.”

Lynn got up and walked over to Xin and handed her the dildo. “Your turn again.”

Heather, Piper, and Lynn had been passing the dildo during Xin’s practice as the personal timer started to decrease less often after it had gotten below fifteen minutes. It was now down to six minutes when Xin took it, and the game timer was down to sixty-three minutes. Xin mumbled, “Not long left.”

The four of them sat awkwardly waiting for the inevitable. They had discussed things further and decided they would sit in a circle with their backs facing one another, as a precaution to prevent someone from tossing it to the person across from them, instead of the next person in line. The personal timer started getting shorter and shorter, to the point that at ten minutes left, it gave them thirty seconds to pass it to another person. Xin was starting to worry that it would give them only a few seconds when the timer got low enough, and someone might lose by accident. She was right as it went down to five seconds at the one-minute mark. No one was willing to risk not immediately passing it at that point in case it went down further.

Xin saw the timer as it passed her and realized that it was likely going to be her holding it in the end, so on the next two passes she slowed her pass just a little, hoping it would fall on Heather instead. Lynn noticed Xin hesitating and slowed one of her passes as well, but not by much. This caused Piper and Heather to actually speed up their passes in panic.

Piper was passed the dildo and noticed that the personal timer had gone up from five to ten seconds and now matched the game timer. I can decide… Piper hesitated; she knew she couldn’t pass it to Lynn, but she could turn around and give it to Xin.

Heather turned towards Piper and saw the timers matching, and her eyes grew wide at seeing it. Heather started to retract her hand, which she had held out to receive the dildo quickly from Piper.

Piper panicked and thrust it towards Heather. They were both holding it when the timer hit zero.

Heather started saying, “No… no no no. Why didn’t you just pass it?”

Piper couldn’t meet Heather’s eyes. “I… I was startled by the personal timer going up. I’m sorry.”

Heather’s shoulders slumped as the dildo vanished.

Lynn asked, “Which of you were stuck with it? It looked like you were both holding it.”

Pita appeared in a puff of brimstone. “That is an excellent question!” Pita beamed. All four of the women flinched back in surprise at the imp appearing in the middle of them. “Now, you were all informed of the rules. The objective was to not be the one with the dildo when time runs out.” Pita turned towards Lynn and Xin, “Meaning you two darlings,” Pita then angrily muttered quickly, “along with Melinda, even though she didn’t really play,” Pita then resumed her normal exuberance, “Are winners!” Pita then turned towards Piper and Heather, with an exaggerated frown and lower lip turned out. “You two, however…”

Heather said, “Wait, we can’t both be losers; either I had it, or she did. Not both.”

Pita floated over to Heather and patted her on the head. “I’m glad to see you finally trying, but you don’t make the rules here. I do. So that means the both of you are—”

Xin exclaimed, “Wait!”

Pita turned around with a strained smile on her face. “Yes, Xin? What is it?” Pita clearly liked the girl but was super annoyed that she was being denied the chance to punish what she considered to be two troublemakers.

Xin said, “You’re right; you make the rules.” Pita nodded a bit condescendingly, already knowing this. Xin continued, “And you told us the rules; you aren’t changing them on us after the fact, are you?”

Pita looked truly offended at that. “I would NEVER!”

Xin said, “Then Heather is right; one of them lost and not the other. I guess technically neither of them could have lost as well, but I doubt you’ll let that happen.”

Pita sweetly asked in a tone a parent takes with a small child who clearly thinks they are right when they aren’t. “Oh? Why is that? They both clearly had the dildo. Why aren’t they both losers?”

“Because the rules you gave us were: don’t be the one with the dildo at the end. If they both had the dildo, they wouldn’t be the one, as that is inherently singular.” Xin was really hoping this pedantic line of reasoning would work, but she was rather doubtful.

Pita pouted as she considered that. Then she pulled out a scroll that unfurled down to the floor. Pita pulled out a small pair of glasses, put them on, and started scanning through the scroll. A moment later, the scroll vanished in a puff of smoke, as did her glasses, as she tossed them into the air. Pita was pouting, “Well, drat. The script confirms you’re right. I did say that… Well, I’m an imp of her word. So how to determine who should be the loser?” Pita stroked her chin.

Heather and Piper glanced at one another. Neither was volunteering, but neither was trying to throw the other under the bus either. Heather thought, This might be my chance to make an ally… but she still hesitated.

Pita said, “Well, the obvious solution is a tie-breaker, but what to choose…”

Heather sighed, “Let Piper have the win.”

Pita raised an eyebrow, “You sure? Because I was going to have it be the first to climax is the winner.”

Piper went wide-eyed as she knew there was no way she’d win that if Heather used the trigger Zachary had put in place.

Heather nodded.

Pita shrugged, “Fine by me.” Pita snapped her fingers, and Piper, Lynn, and Xin all moaned in pleasure as they climaxed several times in short succession. Each of them lay quivering on their sides.

Heather looked confused as nothing seemed to happen to her. Heather asked, “Umm… what just happened?”

Pita smiled, “They receive their rewards.” The three continued to moan in pleasure. “They’ll be orgasming once for every time they passed the dildo off to someone else.” Pita grinned and muttered, “This way I don’t have to reward Melinda, hehehehe.”

Heather nervously asked, “What about me?”

Pita dismissively asked, “What about you?”

Heather said, “Wasn’t I supposed to be penalized?”

Pita booped Heather on the nose playfully. “Who’s to say you haven’t been?” Pita then moved to whisper into Heather’s ear, “Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach.” Then she vanished.

Heather keeled over from the pleasure of hearing Zach’s name and was left frustrated. She was considering trying to reach climax but was worried about Pita’s actions. It took a few minutes before Lynn, Xin, and Piper had finished climaxing, and even longer before they were coherent again. Except for Xin, who remained a total mess.

Piper woozily said, “That was some reward.” Her head was still wobbling from side to side. She asked Heather, “What happened to you?”

Heather shrugged, “I don’t know. Pita implied I was penalized somehow and then… she said… something to me repeatedly before vanishing.”

It took a second for Piper to process the implied meaning, but she understood. Lynn was paying attention to the exchange. “What are you two talking about? What did she say?”

Heather did not answer Lynn and instead diverted the group's attention to Xin. “Is she going to be okay?”

Lynn was still high on endorphins and so missed the evasion and looked at Xin. “Oh God no. Heather, can you help get her back to the piano? She needs to play. I’d do it, but my legs are jelly.”

Heather frowned. “Can she even play like this? Plus, I do not want to be on the receiving end of this.”

Lynn scowled, “Whatever, be a bitch about it and leave after helping her to the piano; I don’t care. Just get her there. She needs this.”

Heather looked like she was about to say no, but Piper put a hand on her arm. “Please, just do it. Leave afterwards if you want, but she looks worse than I felt after the slime incident.”

Heather stood and tried to get Xin to her feet, but Xin couldn’t stand properly, as she wasn’t coming down from her arousal. Heather dragged her over to the piano bench and placed her hands on the keys. “There, I’m not sticking around for this though.” I think I know what Pita did to me, and if that’s the case, I definitely don’t want to be here for this.

Heather hurried out of the room as Xin started to play. Xin was having real difficulty beginning but started fingering a few keys. She started just playing the same couple of notes over and over again at first until she was clear-headed enough to start playing in earnest. Her fingers seemed to practically be moving of their own accord to her, becoming more and more frantic as she played.

Lynn and Piper were getting enthralled by her playing and couldn’t look away from her. Their own arousal was increasing slightly as she played. Then it shot through the roof as Xin finished her set. Xin felt the arousal leave her body and learned that, yes, she could climax from this if horny enough. Luckily for her, her arousal still decreased as she came. Lynn and Piper both became horny messes on the floor again.

Lynn was overwhelmed with a realistic vision of Xin pushing Lynn onto their bed and getting fingered until Lynn begged Xin for release while screaming out her name in pleasure. It felt so real to Lynn that she did actually climax from the experience as well.

Piper experienced a vision where Zachary had ordered Xin to eat her out while he fucked Xin from behind. Then the two swapped, with Zachary climaxing inside both of them. The two of them cuddled and made out while Zachary fell asleep next to them. Piper felt an odd satisfaction from the experience.

Several minutes passed before any of them said anything. Piper was the one to break the silence. “I see what you meant, Lynn. That was definitely more intense.”

Lynn nodded. “More than ever before, that’s for sure.”

Piper frowned. “Pita’s kind of a bitch, isn’t she? That was hardly what I would call a reward. What if we had refused to help Xin? She’d be screwed?”

Lynn said, “She probably would be, yeah, but Pita also knew I wouldn’t let that happen. As for her being a bitch? Not really. She’s been great for the most part, and don’t even try and tell me that you didn’t enjoy that reward immensely.”

Piper didn’t respond with words and simply glared at Lynn. After several more minutes of recovering in silence. Piper stood, her legs still slightly weak. “I’m going to head out. Maybe get some dinner.” Piper checked the time. “We have a bit more than two hours before we need to be in our rooms. Will you two be able to manage that?”

Lynn nodded and gave Piper a thumbs up from the floor. Piper wasn’t sure when Xin had slid to the floor, but she had moved and was lying not too far away from Lynn. “Okay, well, goodnight then.” With that, Piper left the two of them to their own devices.
