AND THEN THEY FUCKED!

Lynn had been clinging to Zach’s arm as they walked towards the elevator. Stepping inside the elevator, Zach asked, “Where are we going?” His hand hovered near the elevator buttons.

Lynn replied while pulling out a piece of paper from her skirt. “It’s a surprise; just sit down. I’ve got the place.” She scanned the paper and mouthed off some numbers. Zach plopped down on the couch and watched curiously as Lynn punched in several floor numbers. Each button lit up until she punched in the last number, and all of them went dark again as the door closed. Lynn then began to sit down next to Zach, but he guided her towards his lap instead. Lynn squealed out in delight, “Zach!” She started laughing. “What are you doing?” OH MY GOD! YEEEES!

Zach had leaned her back while grabbing her under her knees, so it was a bit like he was carrying her, but he didn’t have to support most of her weight. The elevator began to move smoothly. “We figured out a secret to the elevator. It seems intimate contact while in transit causes it to be smoother.”

“I see…” Lynn said with a smirk, reached up and grabbed Zach’s face, and pulled herself up into a kiss. She made out with him for several seconds, pushing her tongue into his mouth. When she stopped kissing him, she said, “We wouldn’t want things to get… bumpy.” She punctuated her sentence by bouncing her butt up and down a few times right on Zach’s crotch.

Zach smirked, “I don’t know; I could see some perks to it.” Zach got a bit more serious. “What was that with the buttons? You pressed like eight of them, and then they all went out.”

“Soooo… You remember how Melinda let me buy her that upgrade?” Zach nodded reproachfully at her question. “Well, the deal for my help wasn’t to let me buy her the upgrade. It was for me to be able to spend all her BP and mine from this round however I wanted on the two of us. One of the things that I got from the shop was elevator codes.”

“Elevator codes? Can I see?”

Lynn nodded and pulled out the paper. “Sure, but this won’t be as useful to you as you might think.” She held the paper so Zach could read it without letting go of her.

Zach saw a dozen different combinations for amenities that didn’t simply have a button. “Why wouldn’t this be useful? Several of these things look intriguing.”

“The combos change regularly. Like once an hour, but it isn’t a set time. This paper will update whenever they change. Luckily, I can’t lose it, but I also can’t really lend it out either.”

“Why not?”

The elevator opened up. Lynn handed Zach the paper. “Just hold onto it, and you’ll see.” Lynn hopped up off his lap and skipped away down the hallway before he could even stand. He stood to follow after her, and as she got about thirty feet away, the paper simply vanished from his hand.

She started chuckling. She had turned around to watch his confusion when the paper vanished from his hand. She then pulled the slip of paper out of her pocket and waved it back and forth. Zach caught up with her and said, “That’s really weird. So it just reappears in your pocket?”

“Yeah, Pita made it clear that it would really just be for me to use, but I can still give the code to others right before they use it. The other major issue with the paper is that a couple of the destinations change from time to time. I planned two dates and got lucky that one of the spots remained on the list this morning.” Lynn said, relieved.

“Interesting. How much did this cost?”

“2500 BP. Why?”

“You mentioned it was just one of the things you got from the shop. What else did you buy?”

“Ummm…” Lynn began and bit her lower lip nervously.

“Lynn…” Zach said chastizingly, “Please tell me you didn’t buy anything for someone else.”

“I didn’t. Besides the stuff I already told you about for Melinda. Everything else was just for me.”

Zach let out a sigh of relief. “Then why don’t you want to tell me?”

Lynn asked, “What’s the sexiest dream you’ve had involving me?”

Zach defensively asked, “What’s that got to do with anything?”

Lynn leaned in close and tilted her head up towards him, while batting her eyelashes, “Answer my question.”

“You’re avoiding my question,” Zach said, looking away from her.

“Obviously. Now, why are you avoiding my question? Is it really kinky? Did you maybe think about just shoving me up against a hallway wall, ripping off my shirt, and screw me right there, all while I begged you to stop?”

“What?! No!” Zach said incredulously. “I’ve never thought of doing that to you!” But now that you mentioned it, that does have an appeal to it… Though I think I’d prefer you to be begging for me not to stop.

Lynn replied coyly, “Then why don’t you want to tell me?”

Zach realized what she was getting at. “You’re saying that you don’t want to tell me because it’s private. You know you could just say that.”

“Yeah, but it’s fun to tease you sometimes. Plus I was actually curious about the answer to my own question.”

Zach frowned. “I’d still like to have some idea as to whatever it was. Especially if you bought yourself another transformation.”

“I’m not telling you yet,” Lynn replied while pressing her body up against Zach and wrapping her arms around his waist. “Not unless you command me to. Pita mentioned she altered how shop purchases worked and now our BP totals are hidden from everyone, including you.”

Zach frowned. “I was wondering why they had disappeared from the scoreboard in my room.”

“Yeah, I asked why anyone would buy things for other people when it would be obvious that it was a specific person who had done it. She said that was a great point and decided to change it so we couldn’t see other people’s totals anymore or purchases.”

“That’s frustrating. It means I can’t make sure Heather doesn’t try to get up to something behind my back again.”

Lynn was internally pleased to hear Zach’s first worry about this was that Heather would be plotting something, even if she couldn’t buy anything without his permission anyway. “If you want to know right now, then you’ll have to order me to tell you. Pita said that would still work, but you’ll have to be rather specific, apparently. A general honesty compulsion like you’ve been using, followed by asking, won’t be enough.”

“You almost seem like you’d like me to compel you to tell me.”

Lynn said, “You’d ruin the surprise, but if you really just can’t wait…” Lynn teased him by running her index finger down along his chest and stopping just above his pants. “I’m sure you’d have several ways at your disposal to make me talk.”

God damn, ripping her shirt off, pinning her to this wall, and making her squirm until she talked is so tempting right now. Zach furrowed his eyebrows. Where did that come from? “Lynn… did whatever you bought affect me?”

Lynn backed away slightly and leaned up against the hallway wall suggestively. “Oh? Do you think you’ve figured something out already?” Zach’s expression caused Lynn to change tack, as she could tell he wasn’t pleased. “It can affect you, but it doesn’t explicitly affect you.”

“Please just tell me,” Zach said exasperatedly.

She didn’t like seeing Zach this frustrated, at least not typically. “Okay, fine. I got myself a transformation that I thought would make my job handling the others easier.”

“That isn’t your job, Lynn.”

“Yes, Zach, it is. I’ve already made this clear to you. Neither of us has a choice in the matter. I’m pretty sure the only way it isn’t my job is if they get eliminated.”

Zach grumbled, “What does this transformation do exactly?”

Lynn pouted, “You take all the fun out of a surprise, you know that?” Lynn got out her phone and sent Zach the text of her new transformation.

Nagging Thought: Lynn’s absolutely obsessed with Zachary, and now that obsession includes getting the rest of the other bitches to know their God damn place. Lynn can now infuse her words with minor suggestive influence, but only regarding lewd things or things to do with Zachary. It isn’t mind control, but more like a song that the person just can’t get out of their head or completely remember. (Hidden From Contestant and Master: Lynn will also get her own nagging thoughts more often regarding the same things.)

Zach frowned, reading the transformation's flavor text. “Is that how you see the others?”

“What?” It took her a second to realize what he was talking about. “No, at least for the most part. I guess that would be accurate for Heather… the part about her needing to know her place. Not about me being obsessed.”

“You used this on me a few moments ago to get me to rape you here?” Zack asked in disbelief.

“First of all, it wouldn’t be rape, because if you want to screw me against this wall or the floor, I’d be rather eager for that. Second, I only infused part of my words with power, so you would be a bit aggressive with me as you took me in a hallway. Pita explained the TF. It doesn’t make you want anything. It just puts the thought in your head. Your reaction to it was your own. A reaction, if your boner is any indication, you quite enjoyed.”

Zach seemed slightly embarrassed as he really did like the thought of it. She even said she was eager… why don’t I follow through on that idea… just push her against the wall, rip off that shirt… it is REALLY tempting. Zach thought the name of the transformation was spot on, as it was a nagging thought in his head. He kept thinking about ripping off her clothes and screwing her. He refocused. “Did you use this on Xin yesterday?”

“No. I didn’t need to. I wouldn’t unless there was something she really needed to simply do. It would be so much more effective on her than anyone else.”

“You are planning on using this on the others, though?”

“Obviously. Please don’t start with me about how that’s wrong. As I really don’t want to continue to have the conversation about how I have to find the other women a niche with you.”

“I don’t want you to push them into having sex with me,” Zach replied.

Lynn looked at Zach and started contemplating his request. “Are you sure? Because I won’t do that if you are, but realize that barring that highly limits what I can push each of them towards. I will be pushing them, so think very carefully.”

Zach noticed Lynn’s intense stare as she finished speaking. Her gaze was boring into him, demanding an answer. He had a feeling he knew several of the roles Lynn would push them towards instead, and that wasn’t really much, if any, better. “Damnit. I guess not. Could you try and be kinder about it?”

“For you? Sure.” Lynn grabbed Zach’s arm and started walking down the hall, resting her head on his shoulder.

Reaching the end of the hallway, which was rather long, considering it had no doors except the one at the far end, Lynn pushed it open. Zach was immediately overwhelmed with a pungent smell as he stepped through the door. Zach asked, “What the heck is that?” It was particularly stark as they went from the hallway's mostly sterile smell to whatever this was.

Lynn replied, “Give it a minute. You’ll get used to it, and this spot doesn’t get a lot of breeze, so the smell is stronger.” Lynn pulled Zach forward to get some fresh air. He let Lynn pull him while using his other hand to pinch his nose closed. Now that he focused on his surroundings, he realized he was outside, but there were fences, enclosures, and several buildings nearby, all with walkways between them. Lynn paused about thirty feet away from the entrance and pointed over a fence, where the ground dropped ten feet. “Look there.”

Zach looked, and he immediately realized where Lynn had brought him as he saw a dozen elephants in the enclosure, then saw an additional four baby elephants move out from behind the adults and towards the watering hole. “A zoo? This place has a zoo?”

Lynn nodded and smiled at him. “Yeah. I was surprised too.”

Zach started to swivel his head around, looking to see if there were spectral people like on the streets that Caroline had taken him to. There weren’t. The place was empty save them and the animals.

Lynn asked, “Zach? What are you looking for?”

“Yesterday Caroline took me to a museum, but along the way we walked down what seemed to be a real city's street. It had moving cars and phantasmal people. I was checking if it was similar here.” Zach then turned to Lynn, “Why a zoo? Not that I don’t like zoos. I’m just wondering.”

Lynn got a little sheepish in her reply and started to swirl one foot on the ground. “Well… It’s where we first met. Not this zoo, obviously, but a zoo.”

Zach looked at her oddly. “What? What are you talking about? We met in Miss Wolfs’s class in sixth grade. We were seated next to each other since our last names both began with B.”

Lynn bit her lip. “Um… that’s not actually true.” Lynn slipped her hand into Zach’s. “We spent most of a field trip to the zoo together near the beginning of fifth grade; you even held my hand for a lot of it. Technically, we probably saw each other in the hallway between classes and stuff, but the zoo was the first time we actually interacted with one another, to my recollection at least.”

Zach furrowed his brow. “What?” Zach tried recalling a field trip to the zoo in fifth grade but was having trouble.

Lynn said, “Do you maybe remember a girl getting completely terrified and crying because the chimps started flinging their poo? The teachers couldn’t get me to stop, but you came over and handed me Mister Whiskers, the small stuffed lion that you had bought at a gift shop and were carrying around.”

“Mister Whiskers? Wait, hold on a second. That’s your stuffed lion.”

Lynn smiled. “You gave him to me. Told me I could have him, and you stayed right by my side for the rest of the trip and held my hand whenever I got nervous, frightened, or grossed out by some of the other animals.”

“Lynn, I don’t remember any of this. Are you sure?”

Lynn nodded. “Yeah… I’m not surprised you don’t remember. I figured when you never commented on Mister Whiskers that you forgot about that day, but I never really did. So… I wanted to recreate the first time we spent together. Hopefully without the monkeys flinging poo, though.”

“Okay,” Zach replied, as Lynn and he started going from one enclosure to another. He was a little out of sorts, though, as he couldn’t figure out why Lynn never mentioned this before. He did recall her mentioning that she had gotten Mister Whiskers on a trip to the zoo, but never that he was the one to give him to her. The fact that Lynn was also clinging to him tightly and pressing his arm between her breasts caused him to be even more distracted.

The two had spent an hour going through the outside exhibits. Most of them had the option to feed the animals, even though real zoos always had signs not to do that. They decided not to feed the lions, tigers, bears, or any other predator, as there were two methods to do so and they found both rather morbid. The first involved using a crane that was positioned in a combined herbivore enclosure, like it was a claw machine. You would grab something from another exhibit and feed it to the predators. The other was to open a gate between two enclosures, allowing the predators to go hunt their prey. Which the signage promised that they would immediately go hunting, but didn’t indicate how it would ensure that.

After passing the predators, they entered the aviary. They were surprised how spotless the place was, considering so many birds were simply allowed to fly openly around the interior of the large building. That was until Zachary noticed Heraldo off to one side, scraping shit off the floor, while muttering to himself.

Lynn noticed a moment later. She was surprised, as he was not wearing his typical butler attire; instead, he was wearing janitor scrubs. Lynn said, “Heraldo, I didn’t know you also worked here.”

“Good afternoon, Lady Bowen. Yes, I work nearly everywhere within the hotel, as Master Blackstone found out yesterday when visiting the museum with Mistress Brown.”

“Mistress?” Lynn said in a questioning tone, clearly incensed. Why is he treating her with more respect?

“Is there an issue, Lady Bowen?”

“Yes, Jeeves,” She sneered the new name. “Why are you referring to Caroline with an equivalent title to Zachary?”

Jeeves’s attire changed to his usual butler attire, and his shit scraper transformed into a pointing stick. Jeeves started floating around the woman and pushed the pointer against her back. “I see you haven’t been keeping up a proper posture.” He then flicked the pointer quickly to slightly lift her chin as well. “It is a shame that you are not under my tutelage tomorrow, or I’d schedule an all-day etiquette lesson for you. If you wind up in the Gilded Cage again, you can look forward to it. Also, I must correct you. Mistress is not an equivalent title, at least not in this context.”

“You still haven’t answered my question. Why are you calling her that?”

Zach put a hand on Lynn’s shoulder and glared at the butler and his treatment of Lynn.

Jeeves said, “Because a refined, elegant, and mature woman such as Mistress Brown is deserving of respect. She is educated, wholesome, and endowed with many other positive assets.” Jeeves looked down at Lynn’s meager B-cups. “Whereas you, Lady Bowen, have your position solely due to my punishment, though your eagerness to serve your Master is quite commendable and deserving of respect.”

Zach stepped toward the ghost. “Don’t speak to Lynn like that ever again.”

Jeeves looked up slightly at Zach with a weary expression. “Master Blackstone, I hope you understand that your implied threat of violence is meaningless to me. You are not capable of harming me, nor do I obey you. The title of Master in this case is one of respect, not one of subservience. Respect I’m forced to show, though I have found your handling of several of your charges rather appropriate. If you desire guidance on how to mould them into dutiful servants, don’t hesitate to ask. I would also refrain from futilely threatening me in the future, or I might retaliate on your charges.”

Zach snarled, “If you even think about harming them—”

Jeeves poked Zach in the solar plexus with the pointer, knocking the wind out of him. “Are your ears clogged, boy? I believe I just told you not to futilely threaten me.” He then glanced at Lynn and smiled wickedly. “Maybe I should teach you a lesson, using Miss Lee as the instrument tomorrow.”

Lynn got angry. “You wouldn’t! You—” Lynn cut herself off, realizing that mentioning the deal could result in it being broken if Zach asked too many questions.

Jeeves smiled, “I wouldn’t what?” In each of his hands appeared two identical uniforms. They looked like what Xin had requested: modest schoolgirl uniforms that looked like they were from an upper-end private school. Lynn was confused about why he was showing them two identical uniforms, and then one started moving on its own. Soon after, the other one sprouted tentacles on the interior, and it started to writhe as well. Jeeves shifted the uniforms to hold them in one hand. Then a third identical uniform appeared. “I wonder which of these three Miss Lee will select tomorrow. Lady Bowen, which are you hoping for?” Jeeves was speaking with such sadistic mirth.

Lynn’s eyes went wide. This bastard. GOD DAMNIT! He’s going to stick to the letter of the deal but is going to screw her over anyway. Fuck, if I bring this up to Zach, I bet it will just be worse, and the normal one will get replaced with something worse.

Zach stepped forward. “Shirley, you can’t think I’m frightened by you.”

Shirley glared at Zach.

Zach continued, “Shirley, you must realize that I do have leverage over you. Especially if Delilah is the one punishing you. If you screw with any of us, I might just talk with Delilah to see if we can increase your punishment further. She seems rather eager for me to embrace my darker urges, and I’m sure she’d be accommodating even if it’s towards you instead of the contestants.”

Shirley looked off to the right, staring into space. Then he vanished.

Zach pulled out his phone to message Xin about this possible trap. Lynn put a hand on Zach’s to stop him for a moment. “Zach… I don’t think you should tell Xin.” That earned her an incredulous glare from Zach, which she absolutely loathed to receive. “It isn’t because I want her to get one of those awful things. It’s… if you tell her, and he is actually allowed to put those outfits as options, I think he’ll do it. It makes him look impotent if you tell her and he backs down. I also don’t think telling Xin will help anyway. What good would it do for her to know that two of the three are trapped? They were identical. He can probably make it so the problems aren’t noticeable until after she picks. It will just cause her to dread the choice.”

Zach continued to scowl, but it wasn’t directed at Lynn anymore.

Lynn grabbed him by the arm and dragged him around to continue looking at all the different animals, which seemed to help take his mind off the possibly impending disaster that Xin might face in the morning. His phone blowing up with messages as they left the aviary brought it back to his mind, though. Both Piper and Xin were sent more lewd pictures. Several of them were paired selfies, including both of them. Sometimes kissing one another. Piper kept adding commentary along the lines of ‘Bet you wish you were here’ as she sent the pictures.

+1 VP Send Nudes (Piper) Now these are spicy. I wonder if she realizes that Zachary can’t delete them.

Lynn frowned as she saw some of the pictures out of the corner of her eye. I know it’s important that he checks for Xin, but I wish he could just focus on me.

The two continued exploring the zoo until they had explored every area except one. Lynn pointed it out on the map that they had apparently missed it a while back, as it had only one entrance and exit, and it seemed narrow. It wasn’t labeled on the map either.

When the two got to the narrow footpath, they paused to read the exhibit title: ‘Harem Hotel’s unique and magical animal preservation exhibit.’ Then the sign below it: ‘WARNING: Beyond this point, safety not guaranteed, although no permanent harm can befall current season Master or contestants.’

Reading the warning sign, Zach said, “Maybe we should skip it.”

“What, are you chicken?” Lynn asked teasingly.

Zach replied, “Lynn… you remember how Delilah said that dildo gag she shoved in your mouth the first night was a person?” Zach nodded towards the exhibit. “Do you really want to see what she’s done to other people. I’m willing to bet there are former contestants in this one. Especially since it makes it clear that the limited protection here is only for the current season’s contestants. Why would there be any other contestants in there, unless Delilah is keeping them?”

Lynn frowned. “Okay… that’s a good point. Yeah… let’s skip it. I might mention it to the others, though. Could be useful to get an idea of what we are in for.”

The trip back to the suite was surprisingly short, with the elevator taking mere seconds to travel this time. When it opened, Lynn didn’t immediately move to get off Zach’s lap and simply rested her head on his shoulder.

Zach jostled her shoulder as gently as he could. “Lynn, we probably don’t want to linger on the elevator.”

Lynn sighed, nodded, and stood. “You’re probably right.” She slipped her hand into Zach’s as she got up and waited for him before exiting the elevator.

Upon entering the suite, Zach asked, “You hungry? Would you like me to order us something?”

Lynn exclaimed rather forcefully, enunciating each syllable, nearly yelling. “Ab-so-lute-ly not!” Zach was surprised by her vehemence, flinching back slightly. She calmed herself. “Sorry. It’s just I know that if you did that, Heather would cook and bring it up here. I do not want her involved in any way with our date. I had planned to cook anyway.”

“Umm… Lynn… are you sure?” Zach asked like a defendant about to receive his sentence.

“Yes. Why?”

The sentence was DEATH. Zach said, “Maybe I could assist? What were you planning on making?” Zach was really trying to find a way out of eating her cooking if he could.

“Nonsense. I’m supposed to wow you, remember? So just sit down and relax and let me take care of the food.” Zach received several more phone notifications. “And I guess check those.” Lynn made a slightly sour face, but it didn’t linger.

Lynn started moving toward the kitchen and relaxed her grip on his hand. Zach was panicking and decided to go with the nuclear option. Zach pulled Lynn by the hand towards him, causing her to stumble into his chest. He reached down, cupped her chin, and kissed her passionately with tongue. Lynn was startled by his action at first but quickly started melting in his arms as she quivered. She would have likely collapsed on the ground mid-kiss if not for Zach’s arm wrapped around her waist, and both of her arms wrapped around his neck.

After nearly a minute of kissing, Zach said, “I know, you don’t want her involved with anything tonight, but if we ordered food…” Zach seductively whispered in Lynn’s ear. “There would be a lot more time for stuff like that.”

Lynn’s brain was swimming with pleasure, or was it drowning? She couldn’t tell or care. “More of that? Mmmmm, that sounds wonderful.”

Zach led Lynn over to the couches, kissed her some more, and then gently guided her down to a couch. “Give me a moment; I’ll be right back.” Zach hurriedly went and put in an order for dinner, then rushed back to the couch. Lynn’s eyes were fluttering, and she had wrapped herself in a tight hug. Zach sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close as they resumed kissing. Lynn lifted her legs and slung them across Zach’s lap. The two got more and more intense as they continued to let their hands roam across one another’s bodies. Lynn moved to straddle his waist and pull up on his shirt, which he let her remove. She then eagerly lost her own shirt, and it flew across the room.

Zach had slid his hand up the soft skin of her back and undid the clasp of her bra, right as there was a knock at the door.

---

Heather’s day had not been ideal. Since parting with Caroline, she had been avoiding the others, as she really didn’t want to allow them to give her a command. Unfortunately for her, she got rather hungry and went to the canteen. She did make sure to wait an extra hour past the normal lunchtime to hopefully avoid anyone. She was unlucky as Melinda was still there. As soon as she saw the woman, she went up to her and explained the command Zachary had given her.

Melinda had insisted she sit and talk with her, while suggesting she grab some food first. When she returned to the table with her lunch, Melinda said, “I want some info from you. Answer my questions, and I won’t use the command. Unless you’d prefer I did use the command.”

Heather grumbled, “Fine, what do you want to know?” Heather looked at the file that Melinda had in front of her. Melinda was also obviously making sure she didn’t see the file.

“I’m trying to help Zach rehabilitate his left hand and arm. I’d like the opinion of someone who lived with him on some things, though. Did he ever abuse his painkillers?”

Heather shook her head. “Not while we were together. I know there was… an incident before we got together, but nothing since then.”

Melinda nodded. Okay, so she knows about that. Good to know that as well. “Are there any types of things you noticed that would trigger the pain more so than others?”

Heather nodded. “Yeah, he couldn’t open jars without using a specially made device because that would always trigger his pain.” Heather extended her hand and curled her fingers, making it look sort of like a claw. It was clear she was tensing her fingers. She moved them in a small range of motion. “Anything where his hand was like this would do it too.”

Melinda frowned and immediately noticed that what Heather was showing her was roughly how one would grip a bow.

Melinda continued to grill Heather about Zach’s injury for nearly an hour. At the end of the questioning, Melinda said, “I’m satisfied with your cooperation. Would you like a command or not?”

“I would not.” Heather replied and asked, “Would you be interested in exploring today?”

“Nope.” Melinda retorted. “I want nothing more than to not move my ass an inch until curfew.”

Heather asked, “Have you reconsidered forming an alliance for the challenge? Piper and Caroline are definitely going to work together, and Lynn and Xin seem rather chummy all round.”

“Not interested. Besides, we don’t know anything about what the challenge entails. I’d rather not give Delilah ammunition to cause further strife.”

“How would teaming up with me do that?”

“She could make teams that break up the alliances, while doing it in such a way that each person would prefer to target the opposite team as their partner. Imagine if you were paired with Caroline, and I was paired with Xin, leaving Piper and Lynn together. Either I keep to the alliance I formed with you and try to get Xin to target Piper and Lynn, or I break it and target you and Caroline. Caroline, of course, wouldn’t agree to go after Piper and Lynn before me and Xin, no matter how much you try to convince her. Lynn doesn’t like anyone here besides Zach and, oddly, Xin. So someone is getting pissed off when their teammate ends up putting the person they agreed to help in a worse position. Or feels betrayed by the person they thought they could count on. So no. I’m not allying with anyone. I also feel fairly secure with my VP total as I’m in second place.”

“You realize that makes the two of us easy targets, right?”

Melinda just shrugged, “Don’t care.”

Heather just groaned in exasperation as she left Melinda in the canteen alone. Most of the rest of the afternoon was rather peaceful. She decided to simply go peruse the library and found a few books to read. She stayed there until she felt a sudden urge to go cook. OH FUCKING HELL! She tried to resist and refused to move for several minutes, but the urge just kept growing, and she kept hearing her own voice in her head saying things like, This is your purpose now. Go make Zachary and his new woman a meal. This is why you exist. Her mental berating continued and got louder and worse the more she refused to act on it. Eventually she couldn’t stand it any longer, and she went to go cook for Zach and Lynn.

She prepared a meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and garlic-buttered broccoli. She found herself quite enjoying the act, which was new. She didn’t hate cooking before, but now she found fulfillment in the act, at least while she was doing it for Zach. She found herself happily humming as she worked. Once she finished the meal, which she found far easier to make than she had ever found cooking before, she put it on the meal cart and wheeled it into the elevator. Thank God that the elevator is smooth for this. Probably so the food doesn’t get ruined.

She wheeled the cart up to Zach’s suite and knocked on the door. She realized she heard sounds of pleasure that stopped the moment after she knocked. She heard Lynn’s voice complaining. Then, after a couple of minutes of the two moving around inside, Zach opened the door.

Heather made sure not to look up towards Zach or into the room. As if she saw Lynn, she’d have to tell her about the command. “Dinner for you, Sir.” Why the hell did I just call him Sir?

Zach wordlessly opened the door to let her wheel the cart inside. She hurriedly wheeled it over to the dining room table and put the dishes she had made on the table. She reached under the top shelf of the cart and pulled out plates and utensils for the two to use and set the table. She turned back towards the cart and planned to leave as quickly as possible when she found Lynn standing between her and the cart with a glare on her face.

Heather immediately said, “Lynn, this morning Zach used his command to allow each of you to issue one command to me that I have to follow so long as it allows me to earn an orgasm from doing so.”

Lynn blinked rapidly in surprise, as she had been about to tell Heather off and complain about her presence. Lynn glanced curiously towards Zach and then back at Heather with a wicked smile. “Oh, really, now?” Lynn looked back at Zach. “Sweetie,” Lynn put a sickly sweet emphasis on the word, “I believe I told you I didn’t want her involved in this evening at all. Don’t think I haven’t realized you were distracting me earlier. That doesn’t make up for not letting me cook for you, but this gift…” Lynn turned back towards Heather with her wicked smile growing even larger. “This gift just might.” Lynn grabbed onto Heather’s arm. “Heather,” Lynn said in a tone that she’d love nothing more than to utterly humiliate the woman if she caused trouble. “Please, join us.” Lynn gestured to an empty seat next to her. Lynn managed to lean in ever so slightly and whisper, “If you refuse, I’ll use that command on you right now, and I’ll turn you into a quivering puddle on the ground that won’t be able to walk for several days.”

Heather wasn’t sure how Lynn had managed to threaten her without Zach noticing, but she had somehow timed it perfectly for when Zach wasn’t looking towards the two of them. Heather nodded and grabbed another plate and set of utensils for herself. She then started to plate the food. Zach had gone to grab a pitcher of lemonade and two glasses for himself and Lynn. He immediately noticed Heather setting a third plate and frowned.

Lynn spoke before Zach could, “I invited her to have dinner with us. You were the one to involve her first, so I don’t want to hear anything from you, dear.” Lynn noticed Heather feel a bit disappointed when Lynn used the term of endearment for Zach, and she was quite pleased.

“Okay…” Zach said skeptically and was about to go grab a third glass when he noticed Heather had grabbed one from the cart already. He sat down across from both women and asked, “Why do you want her here?”

Lynn sipped her lemonade to give her a moment to compose her answer. “Well, after hearing her tell me I can give her a command, my transformation spiked and is practically insisting I use it to push her towards something.”

Zachary groaned, “I suppose you’d be upset with me if I prevented you from doing that?”

“Very much.” Lynn nodded in reply as she took a bite of the meatloaf and was surprised at just how good it was. “Sweetie, I need this.” Zach was about to take a bite of the food when Lynn reached across the table and pulled his plate away from him, causing him to frown in annoyance. “Taking it away from me would be a lot like putting a delicious meal in front of someone and then telling them they aren’t allowed to eat it.” Lynn pushed the plate back towards Zach.

Lynn heard a slight sound of pleasure from Heather when she had called the meal delicious, but she was pretty sure Zach hadn’t noticed it.

Zach replied, “Okay, I get your point.”

“Good,” Lynn said with a smile. “Now, I have a bunch of ideas on how to use this, but if you have something you’d prefer I push Heather towards doing for you, you just have to ask, dear.”

Heather was nervously picking at her meal, clearly worried about what Lynn would make her do.

Zach said, “I think I’ve made my stance here fairly clear. I’d prefer to simply be done with her, but that can’t happen. I also promised you, Lynn, that I’d give her a chance if she cooperated, and so far she has.”

Lynn asked, “So… if I wanted to involve her tonight… you’d let me?” Lynn asked skeptically.

“I’m not having sex with her, if that’s what you mean,” Zach replied.

“It is not,” Lynn assured him.

“It would depend, but I suppose so. Especially if you really feel like you need this.”

Heather gulped hearing Zach say that. Please God, please let her be reasonable.

Lynn nodded and started digging into her meal, considering what to do with Heather.

The three ate their meal quickly and mostly in silence. After clearing her plate, Lynn went back for seconds, and she heard the faintest gasp escape Heather’s lips. Heather surprised herself and was the first one to meaningfully break the silence since it had started. “So… what did the two of you do for your date?”

Lynn seemed lost in thought and apparently didn’t hear Heather, so Zach replied, “We went to a zoo.”

“This place has a zoo?” Heather asked, “How did you manage to find it? That isn’t simply an option on the elevator.”

“It does, and Lynn bought something allowing her to go there.”

“Oh… I see.” Heather deflated, realizing that probably wouldn’t be an option for her. “Um… Zach… if I wanted to spend some of my BP, would you let me?”

“That depends on what you want.”

“Well, if I wanted to buy some clothes or maybe some information like Lynn bought, would you let me do that?”

Zach replied while chewing, “Yea, pro-bly.” He swallowed. “You can forget buying sabotages, though, and transformations for anyone without their consent.”

Heather perked up hearing that, surprised he would allow that.

Zach continued speaking to his ex-wife, seeing Lynn was still deep in thought, planning something. “I told you I’m not planning to simply make you miserable, because I can.”

“So… you aren’t just going to take all my money and use it for yourself?”

Zach was annoyed by the question but wasn’t surprised by it. “No. I’m probably going to sell your house, but that’s because you’re going to need to live with me, and I’m not going to keep it if no one is living there. The proceeds from that, however, are going to be used to take care of your needs. The rest of your belongings will mostly be kept and are yours to use as you wish.”

“Mostly?” Heather asked.

“I’m not going to get rid of anything particularly personal for you, but unless I get a much larger place, and even then, it isn’t like we’ll be able to fit all of my stuff, Lynn’s stuff, and your stuff into one place. That assumes that Melinda, Piper, and Caroline can simply live nearby instead of with me, which I don’t know if that will be possible or not. The way Delilah talked implied you’d all be with me for the rest of your lives, whether any of us liked it or not.”

Heather felt relieved hearing that. Okay, so a fairly standard downsizing when two people move in together. Except this time it sounds like my stuff will be the stuff to go when there is overlap. “Okay… thank you.” Heather was trying really hard not to tear up.

The three of them were nearing the end of the meal. Lynn said, “Okay, Zach, I want to check on a few things with you. First, if I want you this evening, you aren’t going to tell me to wait again, are you?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Good. Now, if I wanted Heather to remain or be involved in something besides sex, would that be a problem?”

“Maybe? I’m not sure, but I won’t just outright reject her staying if you really want that.”

Lynn frowned. “Okay, if something is a problem, just tell me, and we can pivot.” Lynn stood and pulled Heather to her feet. “You’re coming with me. Zach, I want you in the bed by the time the two of us come out of the walk-in closet.”

Zach was intrigued as he nodded and watched the two women enter the closet and shut the door behind them.

Inside the closet, Heather asked, “Why are you planning on involving me? I thought you hated me?”

“Oh, I do. I loathe you. We’ve been over that already. I’m still trying to determine exactly what involvement I want from you, but I do know I’m going to make you watch as I take what you decided to throw away. I’m going to have sex with him, and you will watch that. It pales in comparison to what you did to him, because he isn’t yours anymore, but it’s the best I’ve got.”

“I could just leave.” Heather retorted.

“Not if I command you to watch.” Lynn hissed back. “But I won’t. I will be using that command on you, though, one way or another. So, I’d think carefully whether you want to do as I say or piss me off before I use it.”

Lynn started thumbing through the closet.

“I don’t get why you’re doing this,” Heather angrily said and leaned up against the closet wall. “Why not just let me leave?”

Lynn was bristling with rage as she whirled on Heather and got right up in her face. “I thought I made that clear during dinner. I need this now. I need to make you serve him in some fashion. I haven’t been telling him the total truth about why I asked him to give you a chance. You are so God damn lucky that I got this transformation, or I’d have made sure you were eliminated this round. Damn the consequences. But I need this now. Don’t think that means you have leverage, because I could easily push you towards being his cucked painslut that he takes out his frustrations on. It is so tempting to do just that.”

Heather was trembling in fear and anger. She wanted to bite back but just managed to ask, “Why aren’t you doing that then?”

Lynn’s rage was clearly rising as she clenched and unclenched her fists. In a low, menacing whisper, Lynn said, “Because… despite how much he hates you, part of him still cares about you. He hates himself more for still caring. He spent the last year figuring out how to put a wall between himself and those feelings, then this happened.”

Heather looked at Lynn in bewilderment. He still cares? Bullshit. She was tempted to voice those thoughts, then remembered what Piper had said the day before. Are they right? Does he really want to give me a chance? “That still doesn’t explain why you are doing this.”

Lynn took several calming breaths. “Because I don’t want Delilah to win. Because I don’t want the man that I love to turn into a degenerate monster that tortures others for any and every wrong. Your inclusion has very little to do with you, as far as I’m concerned.” Lynn turned around, grabbed an outfit she had been looking at, and tossed it to Heather. “Put this on.”

Heather saw the outfit; it was a stereotypical French Maid outfit from porn videos.

Lynn saw Heather’s hesitation. “Put it on, or you will regret it.”

Heather gulped, and then complied.

Lynn smirked but only for a second. “Now let me tell you how this is going to work. You are not to speak unless spoken to first once we leave the closet. You will do anything Zach asks of you without question or complaint. He is your Master this evening, and you will treat him as such. Do you understand?”

Heather glared at Lynn and paused, getting changed.

Lynn grabbed Heather by the face. “Imagine your Master bending you over like the disobedient little maid you are, and fucking your pussy raw as punishment. Imagine groveling at his feet for forgiveness, as you get wetter and wetter.”

Heather wasn’t sure why, but both images became vivid in her mind; while she kind of enjoyed the first, the second filled her with revulsion. She tried focusing on something else, but with what was happening, it was sort of difficult to get them out of her mind. Heather said, “That’s it, I’m not doing this.” Heather started to remove the ridiculous outfit she had begun putting on.

“Your call,” Lynn said dismissively.

Heather got dressed in her usual clothes. “I’m leaving. I’m not taking part in this.”

“You sure?” Lynn scoffed.

Heather moved towards the closet door.

“Stop. I have my command for you.” Lynn said, and Heather immediately felt herself unable to leave. She had to let Lynn give her a command if she wanted to. Lynn moved to whisper into Heather’s ear from behind. “I gave you a choice. I would have let you feel everything I did tonight, while you watched. Instead, I’m going to take a page from Zach’s book. I’m going to make you experience delightful agony.” Lynn paused to savour the moment. “For the next day you will be unable to lower your arousal, and it will increase any time you make a sound until you climax. Which you will only be able to do exactly one way, and the moment you do that thing, it will cause the most intense and pleasurable orgasm of your entire life. It’s simply really, you just have to accept that your place is to serve your Master with enthusiastic obedience.”

Oh shit. No. No no no no no! Heather was panicking. She turned to Lynn, “Please… I’m sorry.” Heather immediately felt herself getting aroused as she spoke.

Lynn’s expression was dismissive. “You had your chance. Now it’s time for a lesson. I’m sure you’ll be thinking about being on your knees in front of him in no time.”

Once again, an image of herself on her knees blowing Zach while in a maid outfit came to her mind when she heard Lynn’s words.

Lynn walked past Heather and left the closet while pointing towards the door to the suite. “Fine, if you don’t want to be here, then leave.”

Heather realized Lynn had said that more for Zach than anything else.

Heather stepped out of the closet and turned towards Zach and was about to say something.

Lynn pointed to the door again. “No, this is my time with him, and you weren’t interested in accepting my terms, so you don’t get to talk to him anymore tonight. You can’t stay here tonight anyway. Delilah made it clear for the first round: you have to sleep in your own room if it isn’t your date night, so leave. Now!”

Heather really was tempted to talk to Zach but realized that speaking would make things worse for her with Lynn’s command. She also wasn’t sure if Zach could or would countermand Lynn’s command even if she told him. So she left in silence, thinking about how nice it would have been for Zach to bend her over and take her from behind.

As the door closed behind Heather, Lynn reached into her skirt pocket, obscured by the closet door from Zach’s view, and pulled something small out that she slipped into her mouth and swallowed. Lynn made her way to the bed. Zach asked, “What happened in there?”

Lynn had crawled over, straddled his waist, and put her hands on either side of his head. “We had a… heated discussion. She didn’t like what I was going to have her do and said she was leaving. So I gave her a command.”

Zach asked, “What did you command her to do?”

“It’s a little complicated, but in short, she’s in a similar position to Xin right now, except she can only decrease her arousal one way.”

“And what way is that?” Zach asked in an insistent tone.

“She has to accept you as her Master.” Lynn practically purred the title. “Now, Master, how would you have me serve you this evening?” Lynn ran a hand over his chest and down towards his groin.

Zach was about to say something, but Lynn calling him Master sent him into a tizzy and caused him to immediately become erect. “Umm… I… I’m not sure.” Was all Zach could stammer out.

Lynn leaned down and began making out with him. Between kisses, she said, “Then, please, allow me to take care of all your needs this evening.” Lynn unbuttoned his pants and pulled down his zipper. She pulled up and off his shirt, kissing his chest and neck as she did so. She then pulled out his dick, kissed it, and took it into her mouth to lube it up.

Zach let out a gasp of pleasure as she took him into her mouth. She didn’t stay down on him long. Her panties were already soaked in anticipation as she took them off and repositioned herself on top of him.

She pulled up her skirt slightly and placed both of her hands on his chest. Her crotch was hovering over Zach’s penis. “Sir,” She purred, “May I take you inside me?”

Zach surprised Lynn as he reached up and pulled her down by her blouse into a kiss with one hand. With the other hand, he guided her hips down as he thrust up into her. Lynn’s eyes rolled back for a moment as she was overcome with ecstasy. She let out a moan, mostly from pleasure but also a bit of pain from the first time having a man inside of her.

As Zach broke the kiss to breathe, he said, “Lynn, I love you.” Seeing she was about to say something, he put a finger on her lips. Zach was trying his best not to be distracted by the rhythmic motion of Lynn’s hips, which had not stopped for a moment since he entered her. “I want you, not as a servant but as my equal. So no more Master talk tonight, okay?”

Lynn dreamily nodded, and when he took the finger from her lips, she pressed her body against his and said, “I love you too.” Lynn convulsed and came. Her tightening pussy around his dick caused Zach to cum soon after.

+5 VP Intercourse (First x2)
+2 VP Creampie (First x2)

The two lay there wrapped in one another’s embrace for a few moments, just enjoying the touch of each other’s bodies. Zach absently stroked her hair. Eventually Lynn said, “I hope I don’t alarm you with this, and I probably should have mentioned this earlier. When I was shopping with Melinda, Pita mentioned something to me. None of us are on birth control anymore.”

Zach tilted his head up and looked at their crotches wide-eyed.

Lynn continued, “The chance isn’t that high, Zach, and honestly, I wouldn’t have a problem with it anyway.”

Zach said, “Lynn! You really should have told me that.” Zach felt his heart beating really fast.

Lynn tilted her head up from where it was resting on his chest. In a half-scolding, half-teasing tone, Lynn said, “You really should have asked. I’ve never taken birth control because I’ve never had sex, and didn’t need it for anything else. It’s your responsibility as much as mine. I just don’t mind if I get pregnant. Actually, eventually I would love to have children with you.”

After the immediate panic passed, Zach started thinking about it. Well, she isn’t wrong… I should have asked. I did want a family with Heather, but do I still want that? Zach thought about it some more, and he and Lynn pushing their kids on swings together came to his mind, and he found the idea rather pleasant to think about. “I… I think I might like that some day too, but we should use condoms or some other contraceptive from now on, until we’re ready.”

Lynn pushed up off his chest and looked down at Zach. “Not going to be possible. Not unless you have a secret supply somewhere up here. We can’t buy any, and we’re going to need you to have sex with us.” Lynn blushed slightly. “So… you’d best get used to the idea of being called daddy because I suspect by the end of our time here someone is going to be pregnant.”

Lynn pulled the covers over top of them, wrapping the two together like a burrito as she snuggled back in, not bothering to remove his dick from inside her as she drifted off to sleep in his arms.

Zach remained awake for some time, just holding her and thinking about the future and what it might hold for him, until he finally nodded off himself.
