The Bridge

They went up the stairs that led to the cathedral, and past it. This was now proving to Lucy that yes indeed, she had been right. Mia had chosen the bridge. It took the girls a bit longer than expected to figure their way onto the bridge, but after an almost embarrassingly long time, they were now standing on it, and in time for their appointment, much to Lucy's delight.

They first went further onto the bridge, and stopped when they were about two thirds across. Waiting for a few cyclists to pass, they took out their phones to take some photos of the cityscape to their right, the river, as well as both of them, though most of the latter. They also took multiple pics of the masses of masses of love locks, labeled with the names of (presumably happy) couples, hanging on a metal fence, covering their sight on the rails and the passing trains, in their countlessness. Many of the pictures taken by Mia, obviously, were selfies, a type of picture, Lucy was keen to avoid.

Some of Mia's selfies were a bit more lewd than the average selfie. They definitely were not naughty, just emphasizing Mia's sexiness a bit more than usual. Lucy could not help, but coyly stare at her when she was taking these pictures. Happy that this behavior stayed unnoticed by Mia, who was way to involved in how she looked, Lucy wondered why she so suddenly seems to be so intrigued by the, arguably hot, looks of Mia, getting slowly, slightly aroused by the sight.

'What's going on? Why am I suddenly turned on by Mia? It's not like I'm bi or anyth... Wait a minute, I got a Curse called Lesbian Tendencies! Let me recheck its description.'

And indeed, she had found the reason for her newborn interest in Mia's looks.

'User will casually preform lesbian acts with the women around her. User is made bisexual. The acts may be a conscious or subconscious decision.'

'User is made bisexual. Great! Even better, now I got a crush on Mia of all people! God, this is humiliating...'

Lucy noticed, that Mia was a bit disappointed by the bridge. The love locks did not seem to be what she had expected, and the sight across the river and city, while certainly nice, would have been truly stunning, if the time were to be a bit later, and the sky a bit darker.

As for Lucy herself, she did not feel like enjoying the view in her current situation. Especially, since her phone just started to vibrate. An apprehensive look at it revealed that another round was bound to start.

Lucy moved out of the way, away from the locks before she started the round. This round did not go as good as Lucy had hoped, yet it went good enough for Lucy not to lose hope. She could still do it. A few good moves and yes, now she has turned it around. Lucy still had a few more points to collect, before the round could be a win, but she had plenty of time to do so. That was until Lucy felt a sudden arm on her shoulder that made her jump. She looked up, and noticed that it was just Mia, who was now standing next to her. Mia raised her arm, holding her phone, and Lucy noticed her and herself on its display, grasping that Mia was about to take a photo. It took Lucy a moment before her brain reminded her of her Punishment.

"No, please..."

But it was too late. *snap* Lucy closed her eyes, holding back a moan as a huge wave of pleasure rolled over her. Mia removed her arm and left Lucy standing there. Lucy immediately noticed that her horniness had all but disappeared. Not to say that she had been very horny before, but she would have lied if she had said that the presence of Mia has not had any effect on her state of arousal. She looked back down at her phone, and noticed that she only had 4 seconds remaining.

'Shit!'

Lucy managed to make a move, a good move, but one was just not enough. As always, the App informed her that the round was lost and promptly randomized a selection of Punishments to choose one from:

'Backdoor Boys', 'Breeder', 'Desirous Deception'

Now, Breeder most definitely sounded like the worst of the three, Lucy did not even consider this one. Backdoor Boys has probably something to do with anal sex, Lucy did not favor this one very much. Desirous Deception on the other hand sounded like a Punishment that would entail the performance of involuntary actions, or maybe the spread of false and probably very smutty rumors. If it were to be the first one, the exact effects would likely be very complicated, making it probable for Lucy to find some loophole or workaround to the Curse. It is a risk, as it always is, but one that Lucy felt a bit more sure about than usual. She picked 'Desirous Deception'.

Checking the description revealed, that Lucy did not estimate its effects very well:

'Desirous Deception - User gets aroused whenever she tells a lie. Noticing someone telling a lie has the same effect on the User.'

'Okay, this is a bit more workable than the other ones. And yes, it seems to have a loophole. If I get asked a question, and don't want to tell the truth, I can just refuse to answer the question. Easy, well, let's hope it is.'

Mia seemed to want to go to the edge of the bridge, on the other side of the river. Lucy tagged along and thus they soon had crossed the river. To the right of theirs, at the beginning of the bridge was an old statue, blueish tinted, standing on top a stone pedestal, of a man, probably a former king or emperor, riding a horse. They had already noticed such a statue on the other side of the bridge, when they entered it, though this one seemed to be a bit different, possibly portraying a different person.

Mia again, took a few photos, and then asked Lucy to take one of her and the statue, with the skyline in the background, which she obliged, since it was quite difficult to get a good angle when taking a selfie with this statue, due to its size. But surprisingly, and above all unfortunately, Mia did not leave it at that.

"Thanks, now get over there, I'll take one of you!"

"Oh, eh, well, thanks but not necessary. Besides, it would look ridiculous if we both post the same pic on insta."

"Awww, come on, you have barely taken any pics to post at all. That is ridiculous."

"I've taken a few pics."

"Yeah, but only skyline and such, not a single selfie. How will people know that you have really been here?"

Lucy raised an eyebrow, but she had to admit that Mia had a point. This was her appointment on this bridge and this appointment would not be over, until she had taken a selfie. Or a selfie taken by someone else. Was that still a selfie? An elsie?

Whatever such a thing might be called, if she wanted to be free, she had to fulfill her appointment. Also, up until now, Mia did not seem to have noticed how Lucy always came, when a picture of her was taken. With just a tad of luck, it would stay this way.

Lucy sighed and agreed.

"Alright, one photo, for insta."

Lucy went forward and positioned herself as Mia was, just a few moments earlier. Mia raised the phone, and Lucy braised herself for that which would inevitably hit her.

*snap* As expected the sudden orgasm arrived but Lucy was prepared. Mia would not notice a thing. Lucy did not moan, nor did her expression change at all. She exhaled once more, and as soon as her orgasm subsided took one step forward and *snap* closed her eyes, surprised of having another photo taken of her. She took one step back, opened her eyes and *snap* immediately closed them again. This time she could not refrain from moaning a bit, though it sounded more of surprise than purely of pleasure.

To prevent any more unwanted ecstasys, Lucy reacted quickly.

"Thanks, I think that's enough."

Going back to Mia, and having opened her eyes again, Lucy noticed a somewhat concerned expression covering the face of Mia, as well as a mouth opening to begin to speak.

"Everything alright? You looked a bit, well..."

"Yeah."

"When I took the pic, you..."

Mia's voice's loudness reduced a little.

"...honestly, you looked as if you just came."

"Came?"

"Yeah, orgasm, you know."

Lucy made some wild expressions, trying to act as if this assumption of Mia was as ridiculous as she hoped Mia thought it was.

"Pff, no, haha. My eyes were just... startled. You had your flash on."

Immediately, Lucy became aroused. She herself was surprised of the sudden shift of her state. Remembering her most recent Punishment she cursed herself.

"Really, I had my flash on?"

Lucy swiftly answered without thinking.

"Yea."

And again, her arousal grew, though she had to admit that looking at Mia was certainly doing its part, too. Thus she averted her eyes.

Mia meanwhile surrendered a bigger chunk of her attention toward her phone, while moving further away from Lucy, towards the love locks at the bridge.

"Huh, weird."

Lucy did not comment on Mia's remark, instead she unlocked her phone to swap the pics taken with her. But while doing so, Lucy could not help but feel watched, watched by someone. Having finished her mission, Lucy looked up, checking if it was Mia who kept a close eye on her. But it was not Mia, Mia was multiple steps away, out of earshot, and apparently taking the last few selfies for Instagram. Looking around, Lucy could not make the mysterious watcher out, inferring, that she must be imagining things, until she actually saw the one that was suspiciously eyeing her.
