Do I want this, if I'm the one being punished?

“Are you sure this is okay?” Holly fidgeted uncomfortably. Breakfast wasn’t off to the best start. They’d foregone the banquet, and checked out a nice café in the shopping district. Mary had managed to drag Holly out with her, and brought Kim with her to get her out of the hotel for her break.

“It’s a shirt, Holly. Not a straightjacket,” Mary sighed.

It felt like forever since Holly had worn real clothing. And even then, her current wardrobe could barely be called that. Because Mary’s shirts no longer had any buttons, she’d drafted Kim to loan Holly one of her schoolgirl uniforms. Which normally would have been skimpy enough for Holly’s current standards, but due to the good six inches Kim had over the other girl, the skirt she was wearing almost looked modest.

“Come on, Mary, this is so… frumpy!” Holly groaned. She was wearing one of Mary’s flannel shirts as a sweater for good measure, just for maximum chastity.

Mary looked hurt.

“You used to love wearing clothes like that…” She mumbled.

Holly could see her friend was disappointed. She sighed, trying to clear the horny fog from her brain. “Mary… I know things are different now. How could they not be? With everything that’s happened to me… it’s like I’m awake for the first time.”

A dopey grin spread across Holly’s blushing face. Mary could see hearts flash in her eyes.

“Are you… still my friend?” The redhead asked. That caused the shorter girl to sit up as straight as she could.

“Of course I am,” Holly assured her. “This is the real me. There’s just… extra parts added.”

“Like finding it hot, Nick sleeping with other guys?” Kim felt a little uncomfortable herself about the topic of conversation, but she pushed through.

Holly shrugged. “Would it have been what I wanted before now? Honestly, I don’t know. Before I came here, I wasn’t exactly open about my feelings, if you remember.” She looked pointedly at Mary when she said that. The redhead averted her eyes. Holly continued. “But what I do know is that I’m happy now. Aren’t you happy now? After that wonderful night last night?”

A dopey grin spread across her lips and Mary turned red. Kim looked incredulously at her.

“Last night? What happened last-Mary!” She finally noticed the extra 3 VP on Mary’s hand. She stared at the other girl in awe. “Mary, you and Nick, you… you did something together, didn’t you?”

She didn’t know if her happiness for her friend was overpowering her shock or not, but the two were definitely at war.

Mary gulped and nodded her head sheepishly.

“I… we did. B-But it was for Holly’s sake!” Mary sputtered. “I had to, so that she could… she could…”

“Orgasm?” Holly chirped, sending a tremor through Mary. The cowgirl looked like she was going to melt into a puddle of shame. Which would unfortunately be stepping on Mimi’s toes. The slime girl had tagged along on their little girl’s trip, and was currently observing the situation intently.

“It-It’s not…” Mary’s eyes were wide and wild. She looked around the table at the other women, trying to find the right words.

“You know, Mary, if you’re going to be having them regularly from now on, you should really learn to say the word,” Holly noted with a smirk. Mary glared at her in response and Kim just resisted the urge to laugh.

“He just… you know…”

She gestured to her crotch, trying not to look lewd as she did so.

“She was gushing like a waterfall,” Holly cackled. Mary stared at her, aghast.

“…Wow.” Kim’s eyes widened for a second and she turned to her danish, still shaking her head in disbelief.

“Kim, it’s not what you think!” Mary wailed. “We were connected! The grace of God flowed through me, and I realized my purpose in being with Nick!”

“Something flowed through you alright, but I don’t think God had anything to do with it.”

Holly just would not let up. But she quickly turned serious, and patted her friend on the shoulder.

“I’m happy for you, Mary, I really am.”

Mary sniffled. “…You are?”

“Of course I am. You remember how I was when we first came here? I was hostile, confrontational, I acted like I wanted nothing to do with Nick. But all that was a lie. I wanted him even more than you do. And the moment I was honest with myself about how I really felt… it was like turning a lock in a key. Everything just came out, and I saw clearly for the first time. I’m glad you were able to do the same. Now we can work together to help make master happy. Oops!”

Holly gasped and held her hand over her mouth. “Sorry. It just slipped out.”

One of the things Mary had pleaded with her was to refer to Nick by his name. She understood Holly had an obsession going on, but she didn’t want to spend the day with “Holly the sex ****”. She wanted her best friend back.

“What about you, Kim?” Holly turned to Kim next. “Has Nick made you cum yet?”

“Holly!” Mary didn’t want to hear this, and judging by Kim’s face, neither did she. At the moment she was starting to regret having chosen for her hours to be later in the evening.

“I, uh…” She didn’t know how to answer that. It was a no, obviously, Nick hadn’t brought her to orgasm before. Not technically, anyway.

But she still remember the night before last, on the beach, and how he’d touched her so pleasurably. It was on the borderline, at least, which Holly picked up on.

“I’m just saying,” Holly shrugged. “You two came in pretty late past curfew, and your face was pretty red.”

“We-We’re moving at our own pace,” Kim said testily. “And that’s all you need to know about that, understood?”

Holly nodded and gave her a salute.

“Still…” Mary murmured, rubbing her belly. She could still feel heat emanating from her womb. “We’ve all changed a lot, since we first came here, haven’t we?”

“Well, none of us are allowed to wear normal clothes anymore,” Kim pointed out. “But other than that, I think I’ve gotten off pretty light compared to you two.”

“That’s right,” Mary sniffed. “You were a workaholic before your transformation.”

Kim blushed a little.

“I was a plant before,” Mimi volunteered. Her face was smeared with glaze from the mountain of cinnamon buns she’d devoured, almost looking like she’d reverted to her slime form. “I definitely think I changed the most.”

Mary rolled her eyes. On the subject of changing, Mimi was learning how to be facetious now. …Well, no, she’d always been kind of snarky, even back since their first introduction.

“Well, I’m happy where I am,” Holly said. “And it’s all thanks to- hey, wait!”

Holly got out of her seat and leaned forward, looking down the street as two people approached the café.

“Hey, it’s Dawn and Rose,” Kim said, surprised. “What do you think those two are doing down here?”

“Probably looking for sex toys,” Holly said over her shoulder, embarrassing the table. “…What? Dawn’s day is coming up pretty soon, and Rose is helping her practice, remember? She needs this.”

But one look at Dawn’s face told the whole story. She looked a little haunted, which mixed with her embarrassment in a strange way. Her tail dangled between her legs, tucked underneath her skirt, and her ears were pressed flat on her head.

“Um… hello.” The cat girl’s attempt at being formal came off as stilted, hollow, and confusing. Everyone looked at her, not sure what to make of her greeting. While Holly met Dawn’s gaze with a confused look of her own, Kim and Mary both looked to Rose, who was the more sociable of the two. But Rose just shook her head, and then nodded at Dawn.

Clearly, she had something she wanted to say.

“What do you want?” Mimi asked. She wasn’t trying to be rude, just blunt. But her deadpan tone still made it come across that way, not that it bothered her. Dawn didn’t seem bothered by it either; in fact she looked relieved that someone had asked.

“I came here… to apologize.” Dawn stared deeply into Holly’s heart-filled eyes. “To you.”

It took Holly a second to process that. She had to point to herself just to make sure. “You’re apologizing… to me?”

“Yes,” Dawn said, nodding. “I’m so sorry for what I did… in the last round, I used the Joker to steal the set of Kings from your hand, which made you lose… you would have won if I hadn’t done that… but I wanted to win so badly that I did it anyway. That was wrong of me, and I’m so sorry.”

Holly didn’t know what to say. Her mouth fumbled for words, but Dawn cut her off before she could say anything.

“That’s not all,” Dawn said, shaking her head. “I also… even though I made you lose the game… I didn’t choose you to be my buddy. I let you lose, so I could keep my promise with Rose.”

“That’s on me,” Rose said solemnly. “Because I promised her I would help her practice seducing Nick if she did. I’m sorry for that too, by the way. We both threw you under the bus to save ourselves, and we’re sorry.”

Dawn nodded and turned back to Holly. “That’s how it is. I know that we can’t make up for what happened… but we need to apologize. It wasn’t fair to you.”

She lowered her head in a bow that left Holly stunned.

“B-But…” She was having trouble understand what was going on. “But I wanted this, remember?” She pointed out. “I asked you to pick Rose over me, I practically begged you to do it!”

“That’s not important,” Dawn replied. “The only reason you did that was because of your transformation, right? If you had been in sound mind, you wouldn’t have wanted to become… this.” She waved her hand at Holly’s sloppy state of dress. The skirt she’d borrowed from Kim was already starting to get wet.

Holly smiled sheepishly and rubbed her legs together.

“Well… no, you’re right,” she admitted. “It was Sylvia’s transformation that put those cuck fantasies in my head. Now that I’ve embraced who I am, I can see that now.”

“Exactly. We took advantage of your transformation for our own gain, both of us,” Dawn said, gesturing to Rose. “And that was wrong.”

Holly bit her lip. “I-I don’t know… I mean… yes, I wouldn’t have wanted these cuck fantasies, you’re right. But… being Nick’s sex ****… that part I wanted.”

Rose looked unsurprised, but Dawn seemed taken aback.

“H-Huh?”

“I mean, I told you that before, remember?” Holly shrugged. “I told everybody. I’m not lying to myself anymore. I’m a pervert. A freak. The thought of Nick locking me up in a cage in his room was actually one of the hottest fantasies of mine for a long time. Of course, in my fantasy, I was the one having sex with him, but trust me, I’m not complaining.”

She had a blissful expression on her face.

“I had the most wonderful orgasm just last night, in fact…” She sighed.

Dawn stared pointedly at Rose, who shrugged her shoulders.

Holly actually managed to sober herself up. “Look, it’s like this,” she said, turning to the women. “The way I see it, you didn’t really ‘take advantage’ of me, you gave me the opportunity to get what I wanted most.”

“But you only wanted it because of your transformation,” Dawn argued. “If not for that, wouldn’t you have preferred a more… I don’t know, like you said! A more intimate relationship with Nick!”

“Right,” Holly nodded. “But still, as his sex ****.”

They were getting nowhere. Dawn wanted to make things right, but Holly just refused to accept her apology, or even admit that she’d been wronged. It was the most insidious part of Sylvia’s transformation.

“Are you having a nice brunch, my girls?” Sylvia popped into existence on the patio, leaning over her cane with a smirk on her lips. No one was happy to see her, not even Mimi. The slime girl stared at her mother with a cold, ambivalent expression.

“What do you want?” Kim demanded. “Here to drag me off to work?”

Honestly, that might be more tolerable than dealing with this awkward conversation.

“She’s probably here for me,” Holly sighed, slumping her shoulders. “Here to take me back to the Master’s Suite? Unless… oh, is Dakota already there?!”

“No, no, she’s got him all to herself for today,” Sylvia said, shaking her head. “I came here on other business.”

“What other business?” Mary asked cautiously.

“I’m just checking in on my little sweetie, that’s all!” Sylvia cooed, waving at Mimi. Mimi waved back, causing the blonde to squeal.

Everyone else rolled their eyes.

“We’re kind of in the middle of something here,” Dawn snapped.

“I know, I’ve been listening. Apologizing? Really? That doesn’t seem like you, my girl,” Sylvia replied. She seemed genuinely surprised, like she didn’t expect that to happen.

“If you do something wrong, then you should apologize,” Dawn replied.

Sylvia still didn’t get it. “But all you were doing is playing the game.”

“The fact remains that I still hurt someone,” Dawn scowled.

“But I’m fine!” Holly insisted.

“Yeah, she says she’s fine,” Sylvia agreed, gesturing to Holly with the head of her cane.

Dawn still wasn’t convinced. “She’s only saying that because you messed up her brain! I want to talk to the real Holly. Without any of the transformations.”

Sylvia raised her eyebrow. “…The real Holly, huh?”

“I AM the real Holly!” Holly sighed, rolling her eyes.

“No transformations? Interesting…” A coy smile spread across her lips. She winked at Mimi. “Well Mimi, don’t say your mom isn’t a generous lady!”

She raised the head of her cane, and darkness began to swirl around the crystal embedded into it. Then, as if a curtain was being lifted, Holly began to think clearly for the first time in weeks. She didn’t have her punishment transformation weighing her down, or her intrusive fantasies about Nick having sex with other women flooding her mind.

It was totally quiet.

“…Holly?” Dawn asked cautiously, not sure how the other woman would react.

“Hmm?” Holly blinked at her, not sure what to say. “Yeah, what is it?”

“She still has all her memories,” Sylvia informed the other woman, before Dawn could ask the flurry of questions swirling around in her head. “She’s just not influenced by her transformation.”

“That… that’s good,” Dawn said, nodding. She cleared her throat and turned to face Holly directly. The short girl stood up straight.

“Holly… I need to apologize.”

Holly couldn’t help but smile. “You already did, though,” she pointed out. Dawn shook her head.

“No, that was when you were still… like that. A real apology, to the real you, that’s what you’re owed.”

“Oh… okay,” Holly nodded. “Apologize away.”

Dawn sighed in relief. “I’m sorr-”

“I forgive you.”

Dawn looked at her in amazement. Holly’s beaming smile, devoid of obsession, gazed back at her.

“B-But…”

“Rose…” Holly turned to the actress first. “Thanks to you, I was able to be myself for the first time, and be accepted for who I was. You don’t need to apologize for that. You may have been manipulating me, which sucks, but the fact remains you still set me free. So thank you.”

“…No, hey…” Rose didn’t feel good receiving gratitude for what she’d done. “I really am sorry…”

“And Dawn, it’s okay that you did what you did in order to win,” Holly said, turning to her fellow shorty. “Did it end up costing me the game? Yeah. And you’re right, now that my head’s clear, I’m not thrilled about being Nick’s sex ****… except the parts of me that are.”

A dopey grin not unlike the obsessed one she wore before spread across her lips.

“These last few nights, being kept on edge by Nick… they were some of the best I’ve had in my whole life. Decades of masturbation couldn’t hold a candle to it. And yeah, while I don’t get to have sex with him… if that’s the price I have to pay to feel this good and this treasured for who I am… I’m happy to pay it. So I won’t thank you… but I’m not upset. I accept your apologies. Both of you.”

Dawn sniffled and removed her glasses so she could wipe her eyes. Rose teared up as well.

“Hmm… but if you want to make it up to me…” Holly tapped her chin thoughtfully. “Oh! I know! I want you both to have sex with Nick as soon as possible, alright? If you’re going to take my place in his bed, you better be able to satisfy him, got it?”

“Err, uh…” Rose turned red, not quite ready to act on her feelings yet.

Dawn said nothing. Her mouth fell open in shock.

Finally, she managed to say something. She turned to the blonde host. “Sylvia, did you…”

“I’m still transformation-free, don’t worry,” Holly laughed. “This isn’t being a cuckold talking. Just regular perverted me. The girl who thinks that if Nick wants a harem, then he should be plowing babes like there’s no tomorrow!”

Transformation or no transformation, Holly was still a degenerate at her core.

“Well, this is nice and all, but let’s wrap this up, shall we?” Sylvia cleared her throat.

“Oh, yeah, but one thing first.” Holly turned to Mary. The redhead looked ready to cry, and Holly could feel her own eyes starting to moisten.

“We’re still friends, right?” She pleaded. “I just… I want to hear it, while I’m still thinking clearly.”

“Of course we are!” Mary said, starting to bawl. “We’re friends forever!”

“We’re friends too, right?” Kim asked hopefully.

Holly grinned and nodded. “Yeah, of course!”

Sylvia’s cane flashed, and the pink fog fell over Holly’s brain once more. The hearts sprung back up in her eyes and everyone on the café patio could tell she was back to her cuck pet self.

“Now then, I must be going,” Sylvia said, nodding to the other girls. She stopped to give Mimi a hug. While she was doing that, Dawn addressed Holly again.

“So, um… sex… with Nick…”

“When you’re ready. Or in two nights.” Holly winked. “Whichever comes first.”

Dawn swallowed and nodded.

“Still… this feels like we were let off too easily,” Rose sighed, shaking her head. “Holly, you’re too nice of a person. Don’t you want to punish us? Just a little?”

Holly opened her mouth to reply, but she was cut off.

“Gee!” Sylvia grinned, lifting her cane. “Now there’s a thought!”

Scenes from a Hat: Two Bad Girls Get Their Punishment!

Dawn groaned. “You just had to open your mouth…”

A bench from the patio pushed itself in front of the two of them. Rose and Dawn glanced at each other. Neither was thrilled about the implication, but that was kind of the point. They had to make the best of it.

“Sorry, Holly!” Rose tittered, acting like a seductive schoolgirl in a porno caught cheating on a test. “We were very naughty… right, Dawn?”

“…Right,” Dawn said, with all the seductive allure of sewer sludge. Their bodies weren’t their own as they bent over the bench, presenting their butts to a very confused Holly.

“Um… what am I supposed to…”

A gust of wind blew Dawn’s skirt up over her back, baring her panty-clad ass to the other woman. As the same time, Rose lowered her tights to reveal her own booty, giving it a little shake to entice their aggrieved victim.

“Aren’t you going to punish us?” She purred. “To make sure we won’t be naughty again?”

Holly’s jaw dropped. “B-But… I was eliminated! I can’t do stuff like this!”

“You’ll do what the scene tells you to do,” Sylvia replied, watching with glee. “Teach them a lesson.”

Kim and Mary were both embarrassed as hell, but apparently public humiliation was part of the scene, because they couldn’t leave. Mimi watched them with a curious expression, excited to learn something new.

“Um… okay…” Holly wasn’t used to being on the giving end of something like this. She’d spanked her own ass a few times back in the good old days, but it had felt miserable since she didn’t have the strength to really give it to herself.

Still, she could try, right?

“Um… bad girl!” Holly raised her hand and swatted Rose on the ass. Her round apple bottom made for a juicy target, and she let out a little “yowlp” when Holly’s hand made it shake.

A wild grin spread across Holly’s face. As big of a sub as she might have been, having some power felt pretty damn good.

Holly was unleashed.

She moved to Dawn next. Her ass might have been more petite than even Holly’s, but the tail sticking up above it implied all sorts of fun things.

SMACK!

“Yeek!” Dawn went stiff as a board as she felt Holly’s fingers strike just beneath the base of her tail, sending a surge of both pain and pleasure through her body.

Holly looked from one ass to the other and licked her lips.

SMACK! Her right hand fell down on Rose’s butt.

“Oh! We’re sorry!” She cried, using her genuine feelings of remorse to give a truly enthusiastic performance.

SMACK! Her left went for Dawn.

“God… fuck! Sorry, I won’t-!”

SMACK! That made another for Dawn.

“I won’t do it again!”

SMACK! SMACK!

“Ohgh, oh! Sorry!” That was two for Rose.

It went on like that for what felt like hours. Holly switched from one hand to the next as she spanked the two girls silly, making sure they paid for their crime. It wasn’t quite the same as working out her aggression since she had no grudges against any of them, but she certainly enjoyed herself all the same. And the other two women did as well, somehow.
