<div class="box mini-br-after">Decent to Depravity is an interactive game in which choices determine future actions you can take and how other characters will interact with you. Below is a rough guide on how to play Decent to Depravity.
The main stat is Willpower. A higher Willpower will allow you to have more autonomy, allowing you to decide on your actions. One way to increase Willpower is by making decisions for yourself, particularly if the decision opposes what another wants.
<div class="box upwillpower mini-br-after"><center><b><span style="color:#1a1a1a">@@.pulse;Willpower Increased@@</span></b></center></div>
A lower Willpower will allow others to have a greater influence over you. You might find that you're more obedient to other characters' demands, and the option to choose for yourself isn't available. One way to decrease Willpower is by allowing other characters to make your decisions for you.
<div class="box downwillpower mini-br-after"><center><b><span style="color:#1a1a1a">@@.pulse;Willpower Decreased@@</span></b></center></div>
If an option isn't available, the button will be greyed-out.

<div class="box cpu">Tip: Drug use can make you more susceptible to others' sway or can make you bolder in your decisions.</div>
Once you gain access to the Relationship Tracker, your relationship with other characters will play a part in determining possible choices. For the most part, characters will increase their relationship with you if you comply with their requests or if you impress them. Conversely, if you disappoint or fail to do as another character asks, you are likely to lose relationship points.
<div class="box relationship mini-br-after"><center><b><span style="color:#1a1a1a">@@.pulse;Relationship changed@@</span></b></center></div>
<div class="box cpu">Tip: Often, denying another character's request can lead to an increase in Willpower but a fall in your relationship with that character.</div>
Finally, attraction to male and female characters is displayed. Though it doesn't Different levels of the meters indicate different levels of attraction. Filling the meter shows that you are fully attracted to characters of that gender, whereas a partially filled bar shows various levels of interest and curiosity.

<div class="box mini-br-after">When we looked back at where we were 10 years ago, everyone expected space travel and virtual reality, so powerful that it was like living in another world. In reality, we have perfect carbon-neutral fuel, eradication of a few diseases, and phone screens that don't break when you drop them. Though it feels like we've been on the cusp of some breakthrough for years, nothing seems to happen.
Your manager, Damion's, laugh cut through your thoughts, bringing you starkly back to reality. You'd grown up with Damion. He was a bully throughout elementary and high school. Fortunately, you'd had a short break when you went to University. But, after failing to secure a decent job with your degree, you ended up being forced to work at your local supermarket, with Damion's harassment once more being part of your life.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/exposition 1.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You had hoped that your time at The University of Belchester would be the time that you could shine and show off your potential. In your opinion, it was still ruled by the confident muscled meatheads which girls seemed to fawn over. Initially, you had thought it was to do with them being better looking than you, though over time, you learnt it was more to do with confidence. Confidence seemed to be the key to life, and it's not something you yet had. Despite that, you were dreaming of a day in which people accepted who you were, and you were popular because of it.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Fuck sake! $name!'</span> Damion's voice startled you once again. His tone suggested this wasn't his first time calling your name.</div>
He was standing by the phone, looking intently at you.
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Clean up on aisle 6.'</span> He continued slowly and clearly, having got your attention.</div>
You look around indignantly at the others in the breakroom. All of who had been sitting around far longer than you. Damion, who didn't seem to care about your protests, continued to look at you until you conceded and got up, ready to do the degrading task.
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Where's your apron? We've talked about this. All employees need to wear proper attire when on the shop floor.'</span> He snapped at you just as you were turning to leave.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Please, Damion, I don't want to wear it! It's embarrassing!'</span> You say a little whinier than you intended.</div>
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'I don't want to hear it. Do you remember what Regional said to you when I had to bring it to them last time?'</span> He asked condescendingly.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Stop. What did they tell you?'</span> Damion looked at you menacingly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'That...'</span> You try to ignore the smirks going around the room. <span style="color:#afeeee">'That, I am to listen to my seniors and more experienced and not cause any more trouble.'</span> You recite sheepishly.</div>
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Exactly.'</span> He smiled smugly, satisfied with his victory.</div>
You had never thought Damion would go to the higher-ups. But two months ago, you'd been called in front of a panel and reprimanded for consistently being disobedient. Since then, you had technically been on probation, and Damion had been having lots of fun with your predicament.
You pulled on the black and white apron, tying a bow around your front, the straps pulled in at your waist, accentuating your slim figure. It almost resembles a maid's outfit, and you're sure it's on purpose.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/supermarket 3.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
You had always had a petite figure, and to your irritation, any muscle or fat seemed to gather on your bum and thighs, further emphasizing your small waist and delicate features.
Girls that had grown close with you had always referred to you as "cute" or "adorable", which never bothered you too much until you started going to University. To them, you were wonderfully unintimidating, a guy they could talk to about other guys. Though it hadn't concerned you, you had never had a girlfriend or had sex, which you find worries you more.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Cleaning up the spillage turns out to be much easier than you had anticipated. If you were being honest, you didn't mind working in a supermarket. It wouldn't be forever, and in the meantime, you had a lot of time to think and enjoy your own company.
Still lost in thought, you idly make your way over to a till, spending the rest of your shift mindlessly checking items out for customers. As you put the "Till Closed" sign out, your last customer is a large man wearing a leather jacket, buying a couple of cases of beer.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Twenty-one pounds forty, please.'</span> You smile politely.</div>
<div class="box guy1">The man hands you a twenty and a ten. <span style="color:#5079e0">'There's thirty, keep the change sweetheart, buy yourself something pretty.'</span> He gives you a wink.</div>
You freeze, holding the cash in your hand. "Sweetheart?" You weren't sure how to take it, though it was pretty clear that he thought you were a girl.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><<if $tip is 1>>Flushed with embarrassment, you look down at the pink frilly apron. Quickly undoing the ties and taking it off.
<div class="box you">The man turns to leave, and you call out after him. <span style="color:#afeeee">'We're not allowed to take tips!'</span></div>
<div class="box guy1"><span style="color:#5079e0">'It's a gift, but feel welcome to give it to charity.'</span> He smiles over his shoulder, not slowing down.</div>
Still full of embarrassment, you put the change in the charity pot and leave the till. You hurry back to the breakroom, just wanting the day to be over.<<else>>You open your mouth to say something, but no words come out. The man just looks at you and laughs.
<div class="box guy1"><span style="color:#5079e0">'"Thank you" would go a looong way, sweetheart!'</span> He chuckles, waiting for your reply.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'We're not allowed to take tips.'</span> You stammer back, still feeling confused.</div>
<div class="box guy1">'Well then.' He takes the ten-pound note back from you before giving you two pounds. 'Put that in the charity box. And...' He takes the ten and pushes it down your apron, which you suddenly realise you've been wearing this whole time. '...This is a gift!' He laughs and walks off.</div>
Flushed with embarrassment, you look down at the frilly apron. You sit stunned for a second before quickly taking it off, pocketing the money, and hurriedly making your way back to the breakroom.<</if>>
On your walk home down dimly lit streets, you reflect on another mediocre day. Despite your current working conditions, you're confident that one day your potential will be realised, and you'll be on your way to a better life.
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'$name?'</span> You hear Adrian's voice from the living room as you kick off your shoes.</div>
You take a deep breath and force a more relaxed demeanour before entering the living room. Adrian was sitting in a sleek suit at the dining table in the living room with his girlfriend, Sophie. She was dressed in leggings and a crop top that showed off her tight waistline. They had been going out for two years, and though you were never sure how Adrian had scored a girl like Sophie, they seemed pretty good together.</div>

<div class="box you">You smile a little uncomfortably before sitting down. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Anything the matter? Something I've done?'</span></div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'No, not at all. Well, sort of. When we first moved in together after Uni, it made sense.

You knew the truth: when Adrian said "We" he meant "Sophie", and though you had expected this, you had not expected it today.
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'$name? You're not mad, are you?'</span> Adrian asked after a few seconds of silence.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Your room is in disarray, one step away from being a total mess. Though at this point, you didn't really see the clutter.
Looking at your phone, you saw you had the details of Melissa Penton. You start to type out the email:

<div class="box cpu"><span style="color:#5079e0">Dear Melissa Penton,
I am a graduate of The University of Belchester. I have a first-class degree in Mathematics and Statistics.
Despite trying, I have not yet managed to secure a job since leaving University. I am currently working as an assistant manager in a supermarket, though this is only a short-term position.
I was told that you might be able to help me get a job that is more suited to my ability.
Yours sincerely,

Pressing send, you begin settling in for the evening, thinking about watching porn or something else to zone out to. You sit on your bed, pick up your laptop and unbuckle your trousers. Your phone rings, displaying an "Unknown Number".

<div class="box mini-br-after">A male and female air-host greet you as you approach the plane. They both seem so attractive, standing tall with beautiful smiles. You feel like her eyes linger on you as you get closer.
You always had been very desired.
Well, at least in the confines of your imagination. You had always fantasised about being desired. //Wishful thinking//, you tell yourself, stopping in front of the two attendants, and fishing out your boarding pass.
<div class="box guy1"><<if $interview /= 1>>They stop you as you move to head down the aisle. <</if>><span style="color:#5079e0">'First class seats are upstairs.'</span> He smiles graciously.</div>
<<if $interview /= 1>>You falter for just a second. Instantly, you think there must be some mistake. Quickly understanding your confusion, the man points down to your ticket.
<div class="box girl1"><span style="color:#bf00ff">'First-class?'</span> pointing up to a door behind you with a staircase leading up to a higher floor.</div>
You feel a little embarrassed as you ascend the stair. You feel clueless and as if they both knew it.
<</if>>A curtain drawn back at the top of the stairs reveals a large lounge area. It's furnished with plush sofas and armchairs, all looking like something from out of an advertisement. At the back of the lounge is a fully stocked bar area. It's flanked by two doorways, both with curtains drawn back.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 2.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A flight attendant emerges out of one of the doorways, her long legs visible beneath her skirt. As she walks, her hips sway lullingly from side to side.
<div class="box girl1"><span style="color:#bf00ff">'Your ticket please.'</span> She gracefully holds out her hand, and you comply.
After a pause to process, she looks up at you and smiles. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'Welcome to your flight with us today, $name. I'm Angela, I'll be looking after you today.'</span> Her gaze upon you feels soft and comforting. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'If you'll follow me, I'll show you to your seat.'</span></div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box girl1">She turns, leading you through the lounge and into the seating area. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'The lounge and bar will be open when we reach our cruising altitude, or you're welcome to order straight to your seat.'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'... Thanks...'</span> You mumble, taking in the luxury of it all.</div>
Entering the seating area, you see about twelve individual booths: all with plush leather seats, plenty of legroom and a large TV. You can't stop looking around, taking it all in, as though you're about to wake up from this lovely dream at any moment.
<div class="box girl1">Angela stops in front of a window seat and gestures to the booth. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'Have you flown first-class with us before?'</span> She asks pleasantly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Wha?.. No, never!'</span> You say, snapping out of your daze.</div>
She smiles at your innocence and proceeds to explain all the buttons and services provided by the airline. She leaves you feeling giddy with excitement. Settling into the comfortable chair, you watch the other passengers board and try not to make this look like your first-ever time.
Throughout the flight, you don't interact with any other passengers. A few, go into the lounge area, and you can hear muted conversations between them.
You sit, looking longingly at the curtain separating you from the bar. Its feels as if you're mind is spiralling, trying to think of the pros, the cons, and all the possible scenarios of going through beyond the curtain. </div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You're curious as to what it's like, and after watching a movie, to try and take your mind off it; your curiosity gets the better of you. You get up and head for the lounge.
You emerge from the relative darkness of the seating area into the warmly lit bar. Music plays softly in the background, and a few people are standing or sitting and having conversations.
Immediately you feel out of place with the suits and flashy dresses. You head over to the bar, looking as if you know what you're doing. Accidently, you make eye contact with a friendly-looking bartender who approaches you, even before you've had a chance to look at the cocktail list.
You frantically pick up the menu, glancing down at the names of drinks that are so foreign to you.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I... uh... Please may I... have... a...'</span> You stall, trying to save yourself.</div>
<div class="box brad"><span style="color:#e7bd42">'Sex on the Beach. And, I'll take another Glen McKenna, neat.'</span> A man's smooth American accent you. As you look up, you see him. </div>
He's got a stunning gaze, and while he intently looks at you with his dark eyes, you take in his chocolate-brown hair gelled into a quiff and strong jaw-line.
<div class="box brad"><span style="color:#e7bd42">'First time up front with us all?'</span> He asked, still smiling charmingly at you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh... yeah.'</span> You reply, suddenly feeling shy under his deep stare.</div>
You keep having to avert your eyes, constantly needing a break from his gaze. His smell is intoxicating, but in a way in which you just want to keep inhaling.
<div class="box brad"><span style="color:#e7bd42">'You're travelling for business or pleasure?'</span> He asks, still looking deep into you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Business. I'm moving to America to work.'</span> You say, gaining confidence in this conversation. <span style="color:#afeeee">'and you?</span>' You add quickly, not wanting to seem rude.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You're curious as to what it's like beyond the curtain, but your introversion gets the better of you. Instead, you chose to recline your chair, sit back, watch movies and order a few cocktails in your seat. You had your own thrown after all; why would you want to leave it?
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 7.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
After a few drinks, you're feeling a little tipsy and switch to non-alcoholic beverages. At some point during the second movie, you doze off, waking later with the desperate urge to pee.
You stumble down the plane and into the bathroom, impressed by how roomy it is. When you finish off, you're wandering back down the aisle when you notice something that stops you dead in your tracks.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 9.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A stunning girl is on her knees. She's in a white mini dress that crops off around her shoulders. The bottom is pulled up, showing the curve of her hip and the black of her lacey panties.
She's focused, moving her head smoothly, up and down, on the cock filling her mouth. Her almost perfectly photoshopped features make you think she had to be a model or something similar. It's such a contrast seeing such a beautiful woman performing such a dirty act. Yet, you can't take your eyes off her.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 10.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
She's so engrossed in sucking the man's cock, that she seems like she's in her own world and loving it. Watching her take the length of the thick cock in her mouth, you can't help but feel a little self-conscious about your own. Yours was probably half that size. You wonder if she would get as much pleasure sucking your cock as she was right now. You swallow.</div>
<div class="buttonbox">@@.btnUI;<<button [[Next|Flight 4]]>><</button>>@@</div><div class="box location-box location-bg mini-br-after"><img src='media/locations/banners/firstclass.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></div>
<div class="box mini-br-after">She adjusts her position and catches your eye. She continues moving her head, pushing his cock to the back of her mouth, staring directly at you. You're not sure what to do while she casually sucks.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 11.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
The guy turns his head, following the girls gaze, right at you. His eyes are dark and stunning, holding you in place. You feel so captivated by him, you can't bring yourslef to even look at the girl sucking his cock.
<div class="box girl1"><span style="color:#bf00ff">'Excuse me.'</span> A voice startles you out of the spell, you glance up to see an air hostess smileing politely at you. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'If there's nothing I can help you with, then I'll need you to return to your seat.'</span></div>
You pause, unsure if the lady has seen the erotic scene, or just choosing not to.
Getting over your shock, you look back at the girl, still bobbing up and down on his cock.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh... yeah... sure...'</span> You say mechanically; before you begin to make your way back to your seat, stealing one last glance at the girl: her mouth still sensually wrapped around the girth of his cock.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 12.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Sitting in a state of bewilderment, the image of the girl sucking the guy's cock, burnt into your mind, the drone of the aircraft feeling almost hypnotic. You can't sleep, remembering her eye's looking directly into yours, forming some sort of connection, while she tasted his cock.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You emerge from your sleep to the sensation of someone gently shaking your shoulder.
<div class="box girl1"><span style="color:#bf00ff">'Miss?...'</span> There's another shake. <span style="color:#bf00ff">'... Miss?'</span></div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/flight 13.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Blearily you open your eyes and turn your head to the source of the disturbance. One of the air hostesses' is standing above you, smiling pleasantly. You want to correct her use of "miss", but she interrupts your train of thought.
<div class="box girl1"><span style="color:#bf00ff">'We are about to begin our descent. I have to ask you to return your see to its upright position and fasten your seatbelt.'</span> She gives you the same pleasant smile before leaving you to compose yourself.</div>
Waking up, you briefly catch the eye of the girl from last night. She smirks before turning away. You're suddenly self-conscious that the air hostess used "miss", and everyone heard. Why hadn't you corrected her? You were too tired to, you tell yourself.
When you land, you go through immigration before being escorted to board your next flight. You're directed to a much smaller plane, though you are the only passenger on board. It takes you to a much smaller airport, where you step off the plane directly onto the runway.
It's a mild morning. The sun is out but not hot, and the air is crisp. </div>

<div class="box brad"><span style="color:#e7bd42">'Bradley Scott.'</span> He holds out his hand, which you reluctantly take. But, instead of shaking up and down, he rotates the back of your hand towards him and nods, maintaining eye contact the entire time. You feel oddly giddy as he does so.</div>

<div class="box brad"><span style="color:#e7bd42">'Dr Jamerson? The big man himself.'</span> Brad looks impressed.</div>
You're not sure why, but Brad's approval of you forms a warm feeling in your chest. You take another sip of the sweet cocktail threw the straw.</div>

You marvel at how rich he really must be. As you continue your conversation, Brad buys you another drink, and you're getting progressively tipsier and tipsier.
Brad's in the middle of explaining the intricacies and skill behind gambling when a stunning European girl walks up and perches herself, resting on his knee. He continues to talk as if she wasn't there. The girl simply sits, listening attentively.
You can't help but check her out, even though you try and pretend that you're still listening intently to Brad. She's in a green mini dress that crops off around her shoulders, giving you the view of her delicate neck and collar bones. She has high cheekbones and looks almost perfectly photoshopped. You had no doubt she had to be a model or something of the sort.

You can't believe you're about to do this. It is easily the wildest thing you've ever even considered doing. It is as if you can feel your blood rushing and your breathing increase. You feel high.
Time feels as though it has stopped as you wait for whatever happens next.
The girl lets out a noise. Looking at her, you can see she's smiling, her lips pursed, desperately trying not to laugh. After a second, she bursts into laughter, covering her mouth with a delicate hand. Brad is also chuckling, and you can't help but feel overwhelmed with embarrassment.
You can feel the heat from your head as you go red.

<div class="box louis"><span style="color:#1565C0">'... There's a high-speed metro rail in and out of the city. Takes about a half-hour either way...'</span> Louis explains.</div>
You continue to drive on past the city, listening to Louis bring up interesting aspects of life. Making idle conversation, he doesn't expect you to continue past a grunt or noise of agreement. At one point, you see the metro rush out of the city and ascend a hill at an incredible speed.
The car turns off at a large black engraving that reads: 'Delmarva College: We are the Brave.' You pass through a small pine forest with needles littering the floor. When you emerge on a large clearing on the other side, you get your first sight of the college.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">It lies at the base of a mountain. There is a variety of buildings ranging from blocks of flats to what looked like a full-sized stadium.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/delmarva.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box louis"><span style="color:#1565C0">'It's nice, huh?'</span> Louis speaks in a hushed tone; as if not to disturb your bewilderment.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah. It's so... big!'</span> You marvel.</div>
<div class="box louis">Louis chuckles, the sound like a low rumble. <span style="color:#1565C0">'It really is! You would have no trouble living here. It reminded me of some luxury hotel resort when I first arrived. It'll be a bit quieter until students return from summer break in a week.'</span></div>
Nodding, you take it all in. Louis turns off onto a road that is signed: Noir Institution. At the end of the road is a roundabout, with a large building with black glass and silver beams. The car stops in front of the building, and Louis turns back to you.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/NI.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box louis"><span style="color:#1565C0">'Alright. If you head in, Mia will meet you at the front desk. I'll take all your bags and put them in your new place.'</span> Louis smiles, looking back at you over the driver's seat.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thanks.'</span> Is all you say, glancing up at the ominous tinted glass; looming above you. A sudden wave of fatigue reminds you how tired you actually are.</div>
<div class="box louis"><span style="color:#1565C0">'Hey, don't be nervous. Trust me, we've all been here before. But, I can honestly tell you, the Institution is the best company I've ever worked for. I truly became who I was meant to be here.'</span> His deep voice; softer and seemingly more comforting.</div>
You just nod before mustering the strength to step out of the car into the cool mountain air and walk towards the entrance.
<div class="box louis"><span style="color:#1565C0">'It was a pleasure to meet you $name $lastname. We will see each other soon.'</span> You hear Louis behind you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'You too.'</span> You say over your shoulder before entering through the glass doors.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">The temperature inside the foyer of the building is pleasantly cool, which seems to change as soon as you cross the threshold. The room is white and warmly lit, with a very minimalistic approach. A circular reception desk sits in the middle, towards the back, and a girl sits behind the desk, focused on a computer.
When you get closer, you see she's dressed in a grey and white short sleeved skirt-suit, dark hair tied back into a ponytail, and a pair of glasses perfectly round off her look. She looks up over the rims of her glasses, still lost in thought as she focuses on you, as she gives you a friendly smile.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Hi, I'm $name $lastname. I've just flown in, and I was told to speak to you.'</span> You start, trying to sound professional.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Yes! Hiya, $name! I'm Mia! It's sooo good to meet you! How was the flight?'</span> She surprises you with an extremely bubbly response, contrasting the posh foyer.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh! Um... It was good! Actually, really nice... I'm tired now though.'</span> You stumble, caught off guard by her energy.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'That's nice.'</span> She gives you a bright smile. <span style="color:#de5d83">'I'll be showing you around today, then you have a medical in the afternoon, and then you're done for the rest of the day. I'm sorry it seems sooo busy, but don't worry, I'll get you home with plenty of time to rest.'</span> </div>
You can't help but find her demeanour contagious and feel yourself perk up a bit.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'I love new people coming, and we've had a few! So, I'm just so excited!'</span> She beams while she gets ready, throwing a scarf around her neck and over her shoulder.</div>
Mia leads you back out the front, past a few more buildings, all with the same black glass aesthetic.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'These are all Noir Institution buildings. You'll be in Psychoactive Pharmaceuticals under Dr Jamerson. Someone from his department will show you around tomorrow.'</span> She says, turning and walking backwards in her heels to talk to you.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/stadium.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box mia">She then spins full circle to continue your tour. <span style="color:#de5d83">'Over there is the Diamond Stadium, where the Delmarva Diamonds play.'</span> She grins, pointing to the stadium that you saw earlier. <span style="color:#de5d83">'We're really lucky and really close ties with the college. I loved college, so many memories. and here it feels like I never left!'</span></div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You follow her in silence, feeling overwhelmed but doing your best to take everything in. The campus area is beautiful and immaculately kept; it looks as though it were all new. There are gardens and mini-forests dotted around the campus, making the space feel fresh and open.
Mia shows you the sports buildings equipped with a state-of-the-art gym, full-sized track and a research facility. There's a medical centre, which stands out with its white glass decour. Mia boasts about the plastic surgery department, which people fly in from all over the world to have work done. She reminds you that you of your medical later today and points out where you need to go.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/medical.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
After, she points out a series of restaurants and a cafeteria area, explaining that there were others. But this would probably be your closest. Finally, she directed you to the living areas, ascending the mountain.
The living area is divided into areas. With the apartments at the bottom, more luxurious condos further up, and houses, probably with a stunning view of the valley, at the top.
She explains as you walk up the hill; that most freshmen live in the apartments and then move into the city, catching the metro every morning. Generally, staff live in the condos and are offered places in the houses when they've worked for a certain number of years.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/condo.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'So... What do you think?'</span> Mia turns to look at you, stopping in front of one of the condos.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's amazing.'</span> You admit. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I still struggle to believe its not a dream. I keep expecting to suddenly wake up and be so disappointed.'</span></div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Isn't it just the best?!'</span> Mia agrees with delight. <span style="color:#de5d83">'Okay. I have a present for you...'</span> She grins. <span style="color:#de5d83">'Hold out your hand and close your eyes.'</span></div>
You don't quite know what to think, but do as she says. You feel a cold band wrap around your wrist and open your eyes. You can see a thin, baby-blue band with a small metal clasp on the underside. Confused, you look up at Mia.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thanks?'</span> You say, waiting for her explanation.</div></div>

It's like your ID, your purse and your keycard all rolled into one! So, it's literally used for everything! It also syncs with your phone so you know what you can afford. It'll let you into your place and any other buildings. You use it go get food, and use the public transport around campus and into the city. So, never take it off.'</span> She holds up her own white wristband. <span style="color:#de5d83">'Wanna give it a try?'</span> She gestures to the door.</div>
You're impressed and take a step towards the door, looking for a place to scan your wristband. When you get to the door, you hear a ding and a click as the door unlocks, shunting backwards about an inch. You turn to give Mia a look of excitement.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'It even tells the time.'</span> She beams and nods rapidly before following you in. <span style="color:#de5d83">'You're on the second floor. Which, in my opinion, is sooo the better one to have!'</span> Mia says, leading you up the stairs.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'You said that there's going to be a few people starting with me?'</span> You ask as you follow her perfect hips as they sway from side to side up the stairs.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Yeah. There's another boi starting at the same time as you. His name is Oli. He's sooo sweet and adorable!'</span> She says as she stops at your door.</div>
Something about the way she said "boy" bothered you, though not enough to distract you from being in this moment. When you get into range, there's a familiar ding and the door clicks, opening an inch for the two of you. </div>
<div class="buttonbox">@@.btnUI;<<button [[Next|Condo 1]]>><</button>>@@</div><div class="box location-box-orig location-bg mini-br-after"><img src='media/locations/livingroom.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></div>
<div class="box mini-br-after">Stepping into a hallway, you hear the door shut behind you. You walk through the hall into a large open-plan kitchen and living room. A staircase rests on the back wall leading up to a second-floor balcony above the living room. The two far walls are full-length windows spanning both floors, showing a stunning view of campus below you and the city in the distance.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/veiw.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You're stunned by the luxury of it all, unable to believe this was real. You collapse onto one of the sofas overlooking the view. After getting lost staring off into the distance, you get to your feet, using your mustered energy to go upstairs.
When you reach the top of the stairs, you're greeted by your new bed. It's larger than any bed you've had before, and its baby blue sheets match your wristband, which is a nice touch. French doors reveal a balcony with a set of table and chairs, next to a hot tub. At the back of the room are two sliding doors and an open door revealing a bathroom.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/bedroom.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Approaching the sliding doors, you open them up, stepping into a walk-in wardrobe. You have to do a full spin to take it all in. It's well lit with tall mirrors, making it look far longer than it is. It's far too big for the meagre amount of clothes you've brought with you, and you wonder how you'll ever be able to fill it.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/wardrobe.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A few boxes have been left in the wardrobe. Boxes that you assume are your clothes. Finished with the tour, you decide that it's probably best to have a shower first, and then you'll be able to relax before going to your medical.
There's also a very large box, that hadn't been with your boxes that you'd left Sophie to send.
You see that unlike the other boxes, this one is addressed to you. An excited sensation build up inside you as you have an idea of what's inside. Wasting no time, you quickly but carefully open the box, treating it's content as presious cargo.
Inside is <<if $clothes is 1>>several<<else>>a few<</if>> bags all hanging on a pole that goes though the box.
<<if $clothes is 1>>You're excited as you realise what's inside. You pull out three suits that you chose. They look good. The fabric is shiney and sleek, and they were totally free. You can't believe that you'd lucked out so much.
You also find a note tucked between the suits:
<span style="color:#c12a52">'Darling,
Here are your suits, I hope to see you soon at Delvarma and good luck with your new job.
Best,
Alana</span>
Next, you decide you need to take a shower. Freshen up before after your flight and before your medical.<</if>></div>
<<if $clothes is 1>><div class="buttonbox">@@.btnUI;<<button [[Next|Condo 3]]>><</button>>@@</div>

<div class="box location-box-orig location-bg mini-br-after"><img src='media/locations/bathroom.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></div>
<div class="box mini-br-after">The bathroom is far more luxurious than you had imagined; it's roomy and has an almost calming aura. You strip off your clothes, leaving them over the marble floor before stepping into the shower and turning it on. Instantly, you have to retreat to a corner to escape the cold water and tentatively adjust the temperature.
The large shower head pours water down onto you like hundreds of raindrops, making you shiver with satisfaction. Closing your eyes, you let out a long exhale, almost feeling dizzy as you let go of any tension in your body. You use the provided body shower gel and clean up.
You finish up, shutting the water off. Stepping out of the shower, you grab one of the fluffy towels and wrap it around your shoulders. There's a velvety-looking bathrobe you put on once you're dry, and it feels as good as it looks. You step over your travelling clothes and pause. //New place, new me//: you think, scooping up the dirty clothes and meandering downstairs to find a washing machine.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 3.jpg" style="width: 495px;"></center></div>
It takes you a few moments to work out the confusing symbols, but you think you get it, setting it to wash and dry. There's a //click//, letting you know the machine has begun its cycle. You spend a second watching your clothes, slowly rotating in the washer and make a mental note to add a lot more next time. //Part of being a responsible adult.// You smile.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 7.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Back upstairs, you begin finding places for your clothes from the boxes, with the intention of finding something to wear to your medical. You were right earlier; you're almost finished unpacking, and you hadn't even taken a quarter of the available space. </div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Pulling out a note the lies on top, you read:
<div class="box alana">'Hey Darling,
I hope you don't mind, I assumed, based on what you wore to out little meeting, you would need some casual clothes that fit you well.
I even took the liberty of adding a hoodie or two, as I guessed that was your go to statement.
I so look forward to seeing you again.
Alana 🖤'</div>
You can't help but break into a smile as you go into the box pulling out hanger after hanger.
The first three bags contain the suits that you tired on with Alana, in various colours.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 6b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
The next few bags contain, two sets of skinny jeans, two hoodies and a few tops.
You hang the clothes up and spend a few seconds admiring them. Excited to try them on, you leave to finish the tour and shower up.
Putting the note on the side, making a mental note to keep it, you back out of the room to explore the bathroom.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Opening a back pocket of your final suitcase, you take out all your boxers. Emptying them out onto the floor before finding a draw to put them into. You sit back after you're done, admiring your handy work.
<<if $clothes is 1>><div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 8a.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You choose to wear all the clothes picked out for you by Alana. It isn't what you'd normally have selected for yourself, but you're excitd to wear an outfit entirely from a stylist. The jeans are skinny and high waisted which you notice fit you most of all. <</if>>After finding an outfit to wear, you think about killing time. You see your laptop and instantly, a wave of arousal washes over you.
You sit, staring at your laptop, but somehow, you can't bring yourself to go and get it. Besides, your medical would be soon, and you didn't want to get caught up in the moment to the point that you lose track of time.
Instead, you pick up the TV remote and idly flick through channels. One thing you surmise over about an hour of watching. American TV had a lot of adverts. Not just that, they seemed louder, you almost thought that British adverts were, relatively, quite conservative.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 2/condo 10a.mp4' autoplay loop mute style="width: 100%;"/></center></div>
You had to fight the urge to doze off as you sit watching some show that you assume is a rerun. Somehow, fighting it seems to make you feel more tired.
You're eyes feel heavy. //You can rest them for just a second//, you think, letting your eyelids close. The sensation is so pleasant. A feeling that you've been yearning for...
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 4a.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You jerk your eyes open, escaping the embrace of sleep. Taking a deep breath of air, you sit upright, trying to stimulate yourself. Sitting watching TV is definitely not the best move. You are better off going for a walk.
Looking at the time, you have enough time to go out and get your bearing on campus. When you leave the house: the cool air against your skin feels like a fresh start.</div>
<div class="buttonbox">@@.btnUI;<<button [[Next|Explore 1]]>><</button>>@@</div><div class="box location-box location-bg mini-br-after"><img src='media/locations/banners/delmarva/wardrobe.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></div>
<div class="box mini-br-after">Opening a back pocket of your final suitcase, you plunge your hand in to retrieve its content. You freeze. Confused by the unexpected feeling of the material. Pulling it out, you reveal a lacey black thong. You're not sure how to react and just sit with a dumb look on your face while you clutch the panties.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 8b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
After a few seconds, you drop them and go back in, pulling out more pairs of panties; in different colours and styles. Your heart is pounding in your chest as you stare down at your newly acquired stash of panties. It's then that you notice a folded piece of pale pink paper amongst the fabric.
Unfolding it, you read:
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/condo 9b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
It takes you a few to work out what she meant, and then it hits you all at once. In a panic, you rapidly go through your remaining clothes, throwing them in a pile on the floor.
She had taken all your boxers and changed them with panties. You don't know what to do. There was no way you could wear panties; There was no way you could wear nothing! You're mind spiralled overthinking all the issues with going commando.
A stroke of genius comes over you, and rush down the stairs searching for the boxers you'd worn on the plane. They'd be wet, but at least you'd have something to work with. You're greeted by a slow red pulsing on the washing machine. Your heart stops as you try the door; it's locked.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/panic 2.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Frantically, you start pressing buttons, trying to find a reset button. The screen glitches and then shuts off suddenly. You hold your breath, waiting for some life to return to the machine. After waiting a few seconds, you get the sense that it's died.
Instead of panicking, you try to think rationally. There was definitely someone you could call to help with this. You go over to the phone. Thankfully, you hear a list of options, and you pick reception.</div>

You go to open the door, wishing you weren't just dressed in your dressing gown and tie it up tighter, just in case. Opening the door, a large dark man; tall, but more noticeably, broad all over. He has a bold head and a full beard. Obviously, he works out, evident from the muscles barely contained by his dark blue overalls. </div>

You feel frozen, intimidated by his presence. He patiently waits as you try to formulate the words. Your aware of the fact that you're just wearing a dressing gown and completely naked beneath
<div class="box marcus"><span style="color:#7a942e">'I'm Marcus. I'm with the maintenance team.'</span> He speaks more slowly.</div>

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh yeah, sure.'</span> You answer, stepping to the side, allowing him to pass.</div>
There's a moment's pause before Marcus steps past you, having to turn to his side as he does so. There isn't room for two people in this hallway, and you feel his body brush against yours as he passes.
Obviously, he's more familiar with the condo than you are, and you follow as he makes his way straight to the washing machine. Getting down onto one knee, he experimentally presses a few buttons with no response.
<div class="box marcus"><span style="color:#7a942e">'What happened?'</span> He asks, beginning to remove a panel.</div>

You stand in silence as he does his job. After a while, he turns to you, an eyebrow raised.
<div class="box marcus"><span style="color:#7a942e">'You don't need to watch me. You welcome to do whatever.'</span> He states, an inflexion of judgement in his voice.</div>
Embarrassed, you turn to go upstairs, and Marcus goes back to fixing your washer. It's probably best to find something to wear. You pick out your outfit and then sit, debating about what to do for your underwear situation. </div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You would just go commando, but you had a medical, and it's totally possible they would ask you to strip down, then you'd be in a lot of trouble. Alternatively, you could just wear the panties; that would save you potentially being humiliated. Sort of.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/maintenance 5.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You begin to sort through the pile of panties, taking out any thongs or g-strings: anything that was too revealing. Looking at what was left, you could probably get away with it. A few of them would offer you descent coverage, you think, picking up a pair of grey hipster panties.
Surely, it's worth just trying them on. You drop your dressing gown and pull up the panties. The material feels great, and an odd sensation makes your breath short in your chest. You turn and look at yourself in the mirror, taking into account a few angles. It was hard to deny that they really showed off your hips and butt.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/maintenance 6.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A knock snaps you out of your dream-like state. You pull on your dressing gown and hurry to answer the door. Marcus is still tinkering with the washing machine, and it looks like he's taken the entire front off it.
Opening the door, you see another black man dressed in the same uniform as Marcus. He's taller than Marcus, at least a head over you, and his skin is a few shades lighter. His eyes are kind and his entire look is clean and well put together.
<div class="box lester">He gives you a wide smile before greeting you. <span style="color:#b22222">'Hi there. You must be $name. I'm Lester, head custodian here at Delmarva College.'</span> His voice is playful.</div></div>

The further you are away from him, the less it feels as if your head is swimming. Breath returns to your lungs, and you can now take a long, deep breath. You weren't aware of how you felt until you sit down heavily on your bed to recover.
Feeling the soft material of the panties, you're reminded of another issue. What are you going to wear to your medical? Glancing at your phone, you notice you don't have too long to decide; you'll have to leave soon to be on time. You can hear the two men downstairs chatting as they work.

Once you're outside, you're hit by the brisk air. You retrace the route Mia had shown you earlier to the medical centre, passing a few people on your way. A boy, a little younger than you, with bright blue eyes, light freckles across his nose and cheeks, and messy blonde hair. The two of you exchanged friendly smiles, and suddenly you felt much more optimistic about your day.

A few moments go by as Dr Reyamov circles you, scribbling notes on her tablet as she does. You feel a little uncomfortable like she's judging you as she takes a pace, pauses to write and continues. After a few minutes of inspection, she speaks, still looking down at her notes.

Looking back over the screen, you see a number in the top right. It's marked: Predicted Compatibility: 86. You make the assumption; that eighty-six referred to the number by your name.

You have no idea what "Predicted Compatibility" could mean. <</if>>
A slight clatter in the hallway startles you, and you jump back to the centre of the room, resuming looking around, trying to look as innocent as possible.
Dr Reyamov comes in a second later, holding a set of small rectangular devices. She pauses to look at you sceptically, making you feel like she knows you had looked at her tablet.
<div class="box tanya">She places down the rectangle and picks up an item that looks like tongs. <span style="color:#856bd1">'These will measure your fat distribution.'</span> She says frankly.</div>
Holding the tool against you, she pinches a bunch of your skin on your upper arm, glances down at the reading and records it. She then measures your stomach, chest, and outer thigh.

You get changed, pull on your clothes and leave in silence. When you get out into the fresh air, it's darker than when you went in.

<div class="box mini-br-after">It is almost six, and despite being a little early to eat, you think an early dinner and bedtime would suit you well. Heading into the cafeteria, you scan your wristband at the door and then again at a small panel to the eating area. A message is displayed:
<div class="box cpu"><center><span style="color:#5079e0">New Directive... Calculating...</span></center></div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/risotto 1.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
A wheel spins before the display reads:
<div class="box cpu"><center><span style="color:#5079e0">Welcome, $name. Please take a seat. Your evening meal will be with you shortly. You have been placed on a strict diet: Please be sure to eat everything you are provided.</span></center></div>
You sit in the almost deserted eating area and stare around the room. It's not long before a young waitress approaches you pushing a metal trolley.
<div class="box girl2"><span style="color:#d39db1">'$name $lastname?'</span> She asks her voice; light, like a flutter.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah.'</span> You say, snapping out of a daze you'd lulled yourself into.</div>
<div class="box girl2">She reaches into her trolley, pulling out a metal tray. <span style="color:#d39db1">'Pineapple risotto.'</span> Setting it in front of you, she fills your glass with water and a couple of slices of cucumber. You thank her, and she moves to another table.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/risotto 4.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
The dish looks elegantly presented on a large plate with a lot of negative space. The sight and smell of your food instantly make you forget your fatigue.
You take a bite of your risotto, and your mouth feels alive with layers of flavour. The sweetness from the pineapple, and the salty and creaminess of the risotto rice, fills you with a strange happiness.

<div class="box mini-br-after">After a few more bites, you take a swig of your water, trying to savour the experience of your meal. You're surprised at the clean, refreshing flavour, somehow complementing the salty dish.
It isn't long before you're finished. You wish there was more, but you were perfectly satisfied. If there had been more, you would have eaten it. You sigh. You'd probably have to get used to this as you were on a diet.
You get up to leave, taking your tray to the waitress who's waiting by an open kitchen. She looks surprised as you hand her your tray.
<div class="box girl2"><span style="color:#d39db1">'Oh! Thank you. You're welcome to just leave your tray on the table.'</span> She informs you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'That's okay.'</span> You smile.</div>
On your walk home, you feel overcome with emotion. //This is it! This is what you were meant for.// Truthfully, it was more than you could have ever imagined, and you couldn't be happier.
<<if $panties is 1 or 0>>In your condo, you see that you don't have a washing machine anymore. It's been taken away. You sit back on one of the couches and look at the sun setting over the valley. Still feel the lingerie euphoria, and nothing can bring you down at this moment. </div>

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Um.. That's okay.'</span> You agree, disappointed that you couldn't just get to sleep.</div>
<div class="box girl3">There's a slight pause as Emma waits for any other queries. <span style="color:#da96af">'If that's everything? Thank you for your call.'</span> She says, putting down the phone before you can respond.</div>
You sit back on one of the couches and look at the sun setting over the valley. Still feel the lingerie euphoria, though you can't wait for the bed being forced to stay up is definitely good for your jet lag.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/veiw night.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A knock at the door startles you out of your daze. You're not sure how long you've been sitting, trapped in your thoughts, but you notice there's no sunlight hitting the valley anymore.

<div class="box mini-br-after"><<if $panties is 0 or 1>>You choose to ignore the issue of your lack of a washing machine and the clothes inside it and deal with it tomorrow. Watching the shadows stretch and then disappear, you go upstairs to bed.
<</if>>After getting changed and brushing your teeth, you slide into your new bed. You're impressed by the softness of the sheets as you pull them over yourself. Despite your previous weariness, you suddenly feel awake. You need to calm your mind before you'd sleep.
You think back to the porn you were just getting into when you were still back in the UK. The last video you watched was of the beautiful redhead being fucked senseless by that big, strong, black man. Your horniness builds as you think back.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 2/porn3 1.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Though, maybe big, black cock isn't what you feel like, at least not right now. There are plenty of things that arouse you.

<div class="box marcus"><span style="color:#7a942e">'You called about a problem with your washing machine?'</span> He asked, his voice low and gruff.</div>
You feel frozen, intimidated by his presence. He patiently waits as you try to formulate the words.

There's a moment's pause before Marcus steps past you, having to turn to his side as he does so. There isn't room for two people in this hallway, and you feel his body brush against yours as he passes.

<div class="box mini-br-after">He's obviously more familiar with the condo than you are, and you follow as he makes his way straight to the washing machine. Getting down onto one knee, he experimentally presses a few buttons with no response.

Considering how tired you are, you don't take much convincing. He closes the door behind him, and you look at the washing machine forlornly. You roll your eyes and trudge upstairs, too exhausted to give it any real thought.</div>

<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/campus shops.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Enjoying the exploration, you turn down a random side alley and emerge to find yourself looking down into a large, green expanse. It looks like a lawn bordering a forest. You walk down some steps, stunned by the beauty of the place.
A small way off, a group of guys standing around, boisterously chatting and laughing. It's obvious they're the athletic types. They all have that build, and a few American footballs lie around them on the grass. You skirt around them, not particularly wanting to get involved.
One of the figures catches your eye in contrast to the burly men around her. Her black and white skirt suit and her glossy dark hair tied back into a ponytail make her easily recognisable from this distance. Mia seems to be the centre of attention as she flirts with three guys, giggling and gently laying her hand on their biceps.</div>

Inhaling the crisp mountain air deeply, you turn away. Perhaps, another time, when you have a better relationship with Mia. You climb a set of steps, taking you back into the maze of the campus.

Propping yourself up on the table as instructed, you now have a second to get a good look at her. She's wearing a white midi-dress that seems form-fitting as her large tits and wide hips strain against the fabric.
Her dark brown hair is cut into a bob, with her bangs falling over the top of large gold hoop earrings. She has plump, glossy lips and long dark eyelashes.

The small, blonde girl, dressed in white lingerie, towered over by the two men as they begin to remove layers, exposing dark skin rippling with muscles. When they're standing in their boxers, they stand up tall, letting her finish undressing them. Their large cocks spring free as, one at a time, she pulls their boxers down.

You feel overcome by arousal watching her hungrily suck on one black cock, alternating every so often.
She makes frequent eye contact with each of the men while their dick fills her mouth, looking for their approval.

They don't give her a break, one of the men positioning the girl on all fours while the other sits back, pulling her mouth back onto his cock. The man; standing behind pauses for just a second.

The guy picks her up by her hips, the black fingers contrasted against her pale skin. He uses his grip to rapid pushes his cock in and out of her tight asshole. Her eyes roll into the back of her head as she gives up on using her mouth. You feel in a losing mental battle, the sounds of her pure ecstasy dominating your mind.

You can't help but compare yourself to the large phalluses on your screen. Her entire hand barely wraps around half of their shafts, whereas you're grabbing your dick between your thumb and finger.

Once they were hard, both men stood up, towering over her as the girl knelt, looking up at them with an innocent expression. One man pushes his cock towards her mouth, and she eagerly opens wide to receive it, pushing it to the back of her mouth.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">After a few seconds, she shifts to the other man, a spindle of saliva still connecting her mouth to the previous cock. She pushes the other man's cock deep into her mouth, looking up at him for his approval.
The men take turns using her mouth, pushing their cocks further and further into her mouth. From her moans, you don't doubt that she's loving every moment of it.

One of the men put her onto her back, exposing her to them. There's a moment's pause as the two look at each other before the man pushes his cock deep into her asshole. She cries out with pleasure and continues to moan as the man thrusts his cock deeper and deeper into her ass.</div>

<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 2/porn3 10b.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
You watch as they increase their pace, forcing screams of pleasure from the girl. The men thrust their cocks deep and deeper into her. Zooming in, you see almost their entire shafts stretch her holes. You bring yourself closer and closer to climax, captivated by the lustful scene.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 2/porn3 11b.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
In unison, the two men stand, lifting the girl into the air and dropping her onto their cocks. Her head flicks backwards, and she cries out inaudibly, the men's dicks deeper in her than they've been before. They give her a moment to recover before they pull out of her and ram themselves back in, letting her weight do most of the work.

<div class="image-ls"><center><img src='media/chapter 2/porn3 13b.webp' style="width: 100%;"/></center></div>
Both men seem close, and they drop her to the ground. She falls to her knees and quickly kneels at their feet, tipping her head back, eagerly awaiting her prize. Out of breath, she pants, her tongue out, as the men begin to cum onto her pretty face, in her mouth, and down her dress.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 2/porn3 14b.webm' autoplay loop muted style="width: 100%;"/></center></div>
As you watch the man cum over her slutty body, you can't help it. Watching her accept loads of cum over her, you bring yourself over the edge. Waves of pleasure pulsing through your body, your breath catching in your chest.
When they seem finished, she diligently uses a finger to mop up the cum that missed her mouth. Licking her cum covered fingers clean with delight.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src='media/chapter 2/porn3 15b.webp' style="width: 100%;"/></center></div>

Leaving your condo, you pack your laptop into a shoulder bag, just in case you need it. You stumble down the stairs two at a time. A sense of bewilderment fills you as you close your front door behind you for the first time. You're surprised at how mild the air seems, and the sun is a pleasant temperature on your walk to the cafeteria. You can't help but think, over and over, about what your first day will entail.
The cafeteria is busier than the evening before. A low murmur of conversation hums as you take a seat, and it's not long before your food comes to your table. A fancily laid out pot of what appears to be yoghurt, fruit and granola. Next is a glass of water and a small container with 6 pills, all varying in shape and colour.

Nicki smiles back. She's a little older looking than Zoey, and unlike Zoey's youthful presentation, Nicki is elegant, approaching risqué. She's wearing a beige crop top exposing her slim midriff and photo-finished skin. Her pencil skirt, shows off her full figure, and would just crosses the professional threshold with the jacket hung on a hanger
<div class="box nicki"><span style="color:#b86bd1">'It's a pleasure to meet you. Dr Jamerson is waiting, so whenever you're ready.'</span> She smiles politely, gesturing to the door behind her.</div>
You look to Zoey, who gives you a nod of confidence. Noticing a feeling like a weight in your stomach, you swallow it, straighten up your suit jacket and open the door to Dr Jamerson's office.
You enter a grand office, instantly broadcasting a powerful dynamic. As you approach the large black man, writing at an imposing ebony desk, you can't help but feel small. The room is strangely quiet as if contained in a dimension away from the rest of the world.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src='media/locations/jamersons office.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
Dr Jamerson doesn't acknowledge you in any way as you approach his desk. There are two chairs in front of his desk, but you decide it is best to stand, at least, until you're invited to sit. A few moments pass, and you begin to feel awkward. Dr Jamerson seems to be oblivious to your presence. You briefly look over his shoulder to take in the rest of his office, but you quickly find your attention drawn back onto him. It’s as if your eye contact is drawn to him, seeking his recognition.</div>

The pen against paper seems to grow louder until the inconsistent sound, stopping and starting with each word, fills your mind. You take in the man as he writes, noticing his stature, wide frame, strong jaw and intense eyes. His mere presence commands respect.

On your way back to your desk, the stress lingers in your chest. You catch a glimpse of Zoey in her office, standing over her table, intently studying the papers laid out. Heavily, you collapse into your chair, needing to calm yourself after the doctor's intensity.
You turn back to your desk and sit down. Your brief encounter with Zoey brightens you up after the tension with Dr Jamerson. Clicking the mouse button, you're greeted by a lock screen, and the display changes to show:

Exiting the bridge, you come across a balcony overlooking an open work area with quite a few desks separated by pop-up walls. The place has the feel as though it would be bustling with life, though at the moment it's deserted. You descend a set of stairs and walk in amongst the maze of desks, the quiet broken up by your footsteps on the hard floor.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">The second window shows your emails; you quickly glance through them and skim through the few you have to see if you have anything interesting. There are a few email chains that you've been added to, though you don't yet understand the conversation. Further back, you see a few options for downloads. Before you download anything, you should probably ask Zoey about them, you think.
One email catches your attention, from Mia.
<div class="box cpu"><span style="color:#507930">'Hey $name,
I didn't get a chance to say sorry about yesterday. So, here it is! And I hope I didn't make you late for your medical thing.
Anyway, I was going to invite you for lunch? What do you say? It'll just be the two of us!
Love Mia x' </span></div>
A lunch date with Mia? And she ended her email with a kiss! You can't help but smile to yourself as you. Though, you'd have to call off lunch with Zoey. She hadn't formally asked you anyway.</div>

<div class="box cpu"><span style="color:#5070e0">'Hey Mia,
I'd love that!
I'm going for lunch soon. Should I meet you at your desk?'</span></div>
Instantly, you get a response back. It's just a thumbs-up followed by another kiss.
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Lunch?'</span> You hear Zoey's voice from behind you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I'm sorry. I've said that I'd eat lunch with Mia.'</span> You reveal, genuinely apologetic.</div>

<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Hey, yourself!'</span> She grins, picking up her coat.</div>
You go to make for the doors before noticing that Mia isn't following you. Turning, you see her waving cheekily by the lift door.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'We're not going onto campus?'</span> You ask, confused.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Nope! I'm going to show you my secret lunch spot!'</span> She smiles knowingly.</div>
The lift doors open onto a floor you haven't been to before. Mia opens one of two large swinging doors, and you cross a bridge between research and distribution. You then go through another seemingly inconspicuous door and up a flight of stairs before emerging onto the roof. Mia talks merrily the entire way, nattering about her gym class yesterday.
As you approach the edge, you feel the coolness of the breeze, and the view of the entire campus below you is revealed. Mia goes quiet, letting you absorb the sight. You recognise some buildings and a blonde figure you assume is Zoey before she disappears between some buildings. A little before you spot a couple making out on a bench, a girl with red hair is straddling another darker-haired girl. You strain your eyes to get a better view as the sight arouses a sensation within you.

<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'It's sooo peaceful, isn't it. Sometimes I come up here when everything feels too rushed and I look at how still the college looks from up here and it calms me down.'</span> She talks in a hushed tone.</div>
Looking over at her, you see she's staring out at the scene below a slight smile curling at the corners of her lips.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It would be nice to have lunch up here, overlooking all this.'</span> You say wistfully.</div>
<div class="box mia">'Oh!' Mia bursts the silence. <span style="color:#de5d83">'I brought this for you!'</span> She hands you a shaker bottle from her bag, producing an identical one for herself.</div></div>

But the longer you stay here, the more it becomes a suggestion. I've kept mine, cos I just feel so good on it, but sometimes treat myself!'</span></div>
You go quiet, not knowing what to say without asking another question. Instead, you take a drink. Your mouth is filled with creamy strawberry flavours.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'So, $name, My turn to ask you a question! How's the first day going? Everything you wanted it to be?'</span> She grins mischievously.</div>

Your mind fills in the blanks, your imagination flooded with the Mia and Dr Jamerson fucking. The look in Mia's eyes as Dr Jamerson thrusts into her. The screams of pleasure rang out through the hotel, her naked slender body bouncing on top of the Doctors sturdy frame.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'You still with me?'</span> She looks over at you.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah! Sorry.'</span> You laugh awkwardly, snapping out of your daze. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Just lost in thought.'</span></div>

Her referral to you as a "bestie" stung a bit. It wasn't that you had expected any romantic development, but you hadn't ruled it out. By calling you her "bestie", it was like she had. Maybe, a real friendship would be a good way to start a relationship if it ever came to that.
Mia leaves you at the lift to take you back to the office. As you stand in the lift waiting for it to arrive, you think of Mia's expectation for you to tell her about your first time when you next meet up. How would she react when she finds out you're a virgin. Perhaps you could tell her that you're a virgin by choice... You sigh: you'll have to cross that bridge when you come to it.</div>

You swallow the saliva building up in your mouth. Nicki's skirt has ridden up just enough for you to peek that she's wearing stockings, held up by a garter belt and the underside of her perky butt.

As the two of you talked, Lester pulled a small tube out of a desk drawer and revealed a neatly rolled joint. You watched as he lit it up and took a puff. The pungent odour of marijuana instantly filled the room. A small uneasy knot tightens in your chest as he takes another puff before offering it to you.

<div class="box lester"><span style="color:#b22222">'I'm assuming your tolerance isn't going to be anything like mine. So, only take a half puff.'</span> He warns.</div>
Nodding, you put the joint to your lips and inhale the smoke. It feels thicker than any weed you've smoked before, and you hold it for a second before coughing it all out. Lester laughs as she takes the joint back from you, taking one last drag before putting it out and back into the tube.

Without your consent, your mind is flooded with the idea of Zoey and Lester together. Her beautifully slender body against his solid frame. You have to swallow as you imagine her being fucked by him. Zoey's sweet cries as Lester thrusts.

Expertly multitasking, she pushes the dildo in and out of her ass while diligently bobbing her head back and forth. Her ecstatic moans ring out with every movement of the toy.

Zoey is your direct superior.'</span></div>
You’re surprised to see that Zoey is labelled as your “direct superior”. As you look up, contemplating the fact, you catch sight of a lesbian couple passionately making out. A redheaded girl in a short skirt, riding up her thighs, straddles the broader girl sitting on the bench. You see the broader girl's hand, up the redheaded girl's skirt, grasping her bubble butt between her fingers.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src='media/chapter 3/zoey lunch 7.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
Soft moans come from the girl on top, the closer you get, the louder they are. She’s cute, with petit features and freckles lightly peppering her nose. The girl sitting on the bench has a more athletic build, with tanned skin and a darker aura. You can’t help but stare, at the dark hair girl, perfectly treading the line between alluring and intimidating. Her defined features, looked as though they were carved from stone. Her tits squeeze through the redheads fingers.

You both sit down, and once again, you get the chance to focus on nothing but Zoey. On the slight blush on her cheeks, the brightness of her eyes and the fullness of her lips. A waiter brings you both bowls of soup and a shared platter of still-hot croutons, chilli flakes and chopped chives. Zoey adds a small amount of everything, and you copy her before trying it. The Pumpkin's sweet flavour first hit you, followed by warm notes of nutmeg and allspice. Finally, a lingering hint of hazelnut finishes the journey of a mouthful.

Basically, we started with a large group of male candidates from the college, though gender is all that relates them. They were then asked a pre-test questionnaire. Candidates were first told the average erect male appendage was 6 inches, then asked what was the size of their penis?...'</span> She begins merrily.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Wait, what!?'</span> You interrupt, shocked that they would even ask such a question.</div>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'What?'</span> Zoey responds, genuinely confused at your embarrassment.</div>
<div class="box you">You falter, second-guessing yourself. <span style="color:#afeeee">'How can you... Just ask, something like that? Guys are really happy to tell you that?'</span> The questions cascade.</div>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Well, yeah.'</span> She says plainly, without any remorse. <span style="color:#e50666">'All of our candidates are compensated generously, to the point that taking place is quite competitive. And, this is a psychological examination, I suppose people feel they'll be treated without judgment.'</span> She shrugs.</div>
<<if $willpower gte 6>>You raise an eyebrow unconvinced.
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'$name, this was the experiment. And, I can assure you that none of our candidates raised any issues.'</span> She concludes. <span style="color:#e50666">'There might be something to be said about comfort with someones own body.'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Okay... Yeah, sorry for interrupting.'</span> You say appologetically.</div><<else>>You nod, the urge to want to agree with Zoey taking over.<</if>>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Great! Where was I?... Oh, right! Penis size!'</span> She smiles playfully. <span style="color:#e50666">'For the main experiment, candidates were essentially asked to rate a sample of women who were all dressed in provocative lingerie, from 1-10. The point of this experiment wasn't strictly to find out how men rated women. But, to find out if their tendency to exaggerate or accurately describe the size of their appendage correlated with how they rated women.'</span> She looked at you, checking if you had absorbed the information.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You simply nodded, letting her continue.
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'This process took a while...'</span> She skipped a few pages and displayed the findings. <span style="color:#e50666">'Firstly, we found that men under 7 inches routinely exaggerated their size. Basically, the smaller the penis, the higher the tendency to exaggerate. As lying was very possible, and men often come to believe such lies, we assumed that men who accurately described their penis size were either satisfied with its size or generally comfortable with themselves. We categorised these men into Category A. Men who exaggerated their penis size were put into Category B.'</span>
<span style="color:#e50666">'Now, for the interesting bit.'</span> She paused for dramatic effect. <span style="color:#e50666">'Men from Category A tended to accurately rate the women shown to them! Men from Category B tended to routinely underrate the women!' </span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Do we know why?'</span> You asked curiously.</div>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Exactly! Why?!'</span> She beamed at you proudly. <span style="color:#e50666">'We suspect that, by undervaluing the women, these men made themselves feel superior! This was somewhat confirmed when asked the final question: if given the opportunity, would you pick up a selected member of each group?' I'm not boring you, am I?'</span> She looks suddenly worried about the idea.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'No.'</span> You rapidly shake your head. <span style="color:#afeeee">'This is actually far more interesting than I expected it to be!'</span></div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Okay then! Then there's a final surprising statistic. These were men with penises under 4 Inches. Like before, these men were divided into Categories A and B. Those from Category B and with a penis under 4 inches were found to more consistently, highly underrate the women. We hypothesised that these men felt victimised by women as they felt judged by them. By under-rating the women, they were compensating for every time they felt rejected.'</span> She continues.
<span style="color:#e50666">'Those from Category A and with penises under 4 inches were more likely to overrate women! This was hypothesised that these were men who worshipped women as superior! A real-life example would point to the "simp" culture! There's also a third category for men with significantly small penises, but that's really not important.'</span> Zoey concluded triumphantly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'That's the third?'</span> You ask, truly getting into the narrative.</div>

<div class="image-ls"><center><img src='media/chapter 3/dickpic 1.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
'Large, thick cock. Shaved and veiny. Owner holds it with confidence.' You list, proud of your development.

You put down the phone and sit on your bed before getting your laptop out, loosening your trousers and lying back comfortably. Porn is your escape. Watching it gets you lost in a world of lust and pleasure, letting you escape from the real world for a bit. Lately, you find yourself turning to porn more often, such that it's turned into a daily or twice-daily occurrence.

You open your browser, load up some porn, put in your wireless headphones, clicking on a recommended video. Your hand reaches down your boxers and gently holds your already hard dick between two fingers. It has never really bothered you, but your dick has never been that big, 4 inches, and that's being generous. After a few minutes of stroking yourself, you find you're not really getting into it. Everything seems to be normal. The girl is moaning with pleasure, she's hot, and you do feel aroused, but it's just not as good. Not the escape you've come to know and love.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You gesture for the shot to pan out and see the guy, naked, sitting on the couch, his legs splayed. A beautiful red-head in nothing but black panties is on her hands and knees, sensually sucking his cock. Her hand gently stroked his balls and shaft.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn 3a.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
You look at her perfectly smooth pale skin, imagining how touching it must feel.
The scene changes and you see the guy lying on the couch, holding one of her legs up, his cock positioned at the opening of her pussy. Teasing her as they passionately kiss. You could see just how big his cock was, twitching with apprehension and wet with her saliva. He pulls back for a second, looking her deep in her innocent eyes, before plunging his cock inside her.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn 4a.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
Her head tipped back, and she threw her head backwards with ecstasy. He takes his opportunity to bite and kiss her neck. You watch as her body writhes with pleasure while he pushes the length of his cock into her. Her gasps and moans fill your head, making you wonder, for a split second, what she must be feeling.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn 5a.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
As he increases his pace, she cries out, each trust sending a ripple through her body. He kisses her, both of them locked in the other's embrace as he fucks her hard.
Listening to the slaps as their skin collides, her screams of pleasure, you can't help but jerk yourself off franticly to the scene in front of you. The sensation emanating from your dick makes you gasp, and it's not long before you feel like you want to cum.</div>

You click onto a related video, and then another. A thumbnail catches your eye. A stunning girl, dressed in black lingerie that perfectly contrasts her skin, is being fucked from both ends by two large black men. You find you have to swallow as you click on it.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn 3b2.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
Instantly your head is filled with the sound of slurping and moaning as she sucks one cock and strokes the other, working her way back and forth between them.
In her petite hands, the black cocks looked like monsters. Within seconds you feel like you're about to cum, but you don't want to. You want to watch her. You want to see her getting fucked. It takes all of your willpower but, you take your fingers off your penis, gasping as the loss of pleasure is excruciating.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn 4b.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
After a few seconds, you're rewarded for your resolve as the scene changes. One of the guys is stood behind her, slowly pushing his cock in and out of her, as the other guy's cock disappears between her thick lips. You swipe your hand right in front of the camera to change angles, a new technology that lets you watch any scene from any angle. </div>

You can't help but orgasm watching them. You didn't mean to, but now that you've started, you just can't stop. Your body flexes as a wave of pleasure pulses through your body.
Slowly, you come down from your high, bliss from your orgasm still lingering in your body. Returing to your senses: you close up your laptop and clean up, ready for bed.

You get closer to her face, her eyes are glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and you see her throat bulging as it's forced open by the big black cock. You feel yourself panting erotically as you touch your dick again. Hearing her gasp every time the guy behind her pushed his black cock into her, made you only last half a minute before you have to force your fingers off your dick. You know as soon as you cum, you won't want this anymore, and you'll have to leave this fantasy.

You're about to cum when the screen cuts to black and the logo flashes on the screen. You're too late to stop and keep going. The next video loads up and, 1-second clips flash in front of you. Beautiful girl after beautiful girl. Only just giving your mind time to register them and the big black cock filling their mouths before the next one replaces them.

<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/morning 2b.webm' autoplay loop muted style="width: 100%;"/>

After a few seconds, you notice her cock between her legs and snap out of your trance. She's so cute and, you would have sworn she was a girl except for the cock between her legs. Her eyes seem to be lulling you back into a dreamy state.
You quickly exit the site and sit in stunned silence, still feeling the influence of her gaze.
The flashing icon of your email catches your attention. With effort, you manage to open your email, the effects of the video seeming to slip away as your mind moves on.

<</if>><div class="box cpu">Dear $name $lastname,
Thank you for your interest in the role at Noir Institution.
Unfortunately, the position has been filled, and we are no longer looking for someone in this field.
However, upon reviewing your application, we see you fitting into another department within the institution. As a result, we'd like to extend the opportunity to interview. As interviewing times have technically closed, the interview will occur at 10.30 GMT.
Please click the link below up to 30 minutes before your interview time:

Thank you for your time.
Abigale Winters'</div>
Your excitement builds as you finish reading the email. They wanted you and had a place specifically in mind for you. Thoughts about your past attempts at getting a job intrude and you stand paralysed by them for a second before shaking yourself free. This time was going to be different, you knew you would.
Jumping in front of the mirror, you make yourself look presentable, brushing your long hair into order with your fingers. Fortunately, you'd only ever had to shave once every week. It had bothered you for a while. But, right now, it was one less thing to have to think about.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You click on the link with two minutes to spare. Barely, having any time to compose yourself, you're greeted by the most beautiful woman that you think you've ever seen. She looks like she should be an actress or a model, with her high cheekbones and straight blonde hair, swept over one shoulder. Her crystal blue eyes feel as if they're looking straight into yours through the camera, intimidating you and forcing you to swallow a lump in your throat.

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'I'm aware, thank you.'</span> She cuts you off. Her voice is melodic and yet distinctly commanding. <span style="color:#ac2660">'I am Abigail Winters. I work for Dr Jamerson in Noir Institution. We are a private research group that operates in Delmarva College. We specialise in Psychoactive substances and their effects.' She continues as if what she has to say matters more than anything else. 'You will be interviewed today as a data processor and lab assistant.'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes, thank you for considering me.'</span> You respond, trying to display confidence.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'Good, then let's begin.'</span> She looks down, finding her first question off her script. <span style="color:#ac2660">'Please describe a time in which you were proud of something you've done.'</span></div>
Without giving much thought, you recite an answer that you'd prepared previously for another interview.
She asks more questions, learning about your academic history, in which you were able to brag about being a straight-A student, and your hobbies and aspirations. She asks a little about how you think you'd cope with moving countries for work, in which you described your excitement for a new opportunity. Abigail responds to each of your answers with the same unimpressed expression.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'Now, this will be my last question for now. You have actually done very well so far, so please try and answer this last question truthfully. I need to first stress that we are not looking for a correct answer.

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'We understand that this isn't a standard interview question. We're actually looking for candidates who understand what it feels like to feel low. Take your time.'</span> She interrupts, talking in a gentle tone that causes your body to relax.</div>
<div class="box you">After letting a moment pass, you answer. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I suppose, I've struggled for a long while with being myself and not being what everyone around me expects me to be. Like, I've always been so good academically, I went to Uni and got a good degree. But, when I wasn't able to get a conventional job, I don't know, I felt lost. I feel like people don't know the real me... I feel like I don't know the real me. It's made me feel pretty lonely.'</span> You're not sure where the words came from. Perhaps somewhere from deep within.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'So, would you say you were happy?'</span> She asked in the same soft manner.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I...'</span> You trail off. <span style="color:#afeeee">'No. I don't think I am.'</span></div>
There was a pause as the two of you let the words set in. Your surroundings seem to gradually return to your awareness.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'Thank you, Ash. For the final part of the interview, as Noir Institution is particularly interested in the all-around health of our employees, we'll need some physical details from you.'</span> Her tone, no longer soft and lulling, roots you back in the moment. <span style="color:#ac2660">'Please remove your suit jacket and take a few paces back from your camera.'</span></div>
Without speaking, you do as she says, removing your suit jacket and taking a step back from the screen, as instructed to do so.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2660">'Very good, now please turn ninety degrees and look straight ahead.'</span> Abigail says, her voice commanding without being harsh.</div>

You can't believe it. A day ago, you were working in a shitty supermarket, and now you had a job working in a prestigious institution in what seemed like a dream job. You continue to sit in stunned silence for a few moments more before you decide to go and tell Adrian and Sophie.
You take off your headphones, the sounds of the real world returning to you. As soon as you open your door, you hear it. Loud moans. As you creep down the hallway, the sounds are definitely coming from Adrian and Sophie's room.</div>

It reads: 'A Contract Stipulating the Conduct and Expectations of Those in the Employment of Noir Institution: Data Processor.' On the other side of your screen, Abigail is looking intently at you, waiting for you to finish reading. Her gaze is intensely unimpressed, and you find yourself just looking at the contract pretending to read it to avoid looking at her.</div>
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/interview 13.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
You try to suck it up and scroll through the contract, reading various pieces of information:

<div class="box cpu">'Employees must request to leave at the end of every day and must report in with superiors at the beginning. This is mandatory during the aforementioned probation period and will remain so until the employee's superiors decide otherwise.'</div>
You take a second to comprehend the lengthy legal talk, still acutely aware of Abigail watching you. You scrolled back, looking for a section or passage talking about the probation period. After what feels like forever, you find what you're looking for.
<div class="box cpu">'New employees are subject to a 1-month probation period, or longer if the employee's superiors deem it necessary.

Realising they've finished, slowly, you back away from the door and down the stairs. You end up in the living room and have to take a few moments to regather yourself after what you've just seen.

<div class="box mini-br-after">When you begin to hear someone coming down the stairs, you put in your headphones and go about doing the dishes, acting busy.

<div class="box adrian">Adrian emerges, his face still flushed red. <span style="color:#adeed3">'Hey. Didn't know you were home. You didn't go to work today?'</span> He starts hesitantly.</div>
<div class="box you">You make a point of removing your headphones, before responding casually. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah, I've just been upstairs in my room. I had an interview today.'</span></div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'Oh yeah? and how did it go?'</span> He asks.</div>
The conversation so far felt so awkward that you're sure that he must know, that you know.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It went really well.'</span> You pause for dramatic effect. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I got the job!'</span> You burst out.</div>
The tension seemed to release as Adrian believed you had no idea what he and Sophie were just up to.
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'That's fantastic, man! I'm so pleased for you! What job is it for?'</span> He beamed.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's a research group in America called Noir Institution, working with the mind or something, and the job was for a data processor and lab assistant!'</span> You blurted out, not trying to sound too boastful.</div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'So, what? You're moving to America?'</span> He looked a little shocked.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yep, next week.'</span></div>

<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'Really? Did you contact the University like I said?'</span> Sophie said as if it were all thanks to her.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I did and, like, they called me straight away, and less than a day later, I have a job!'</span> You smile. Not even Sophie could bring you down today.</div>

<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'You sure?'</span> Sophie's voice was now icy.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah.'</span> You shift uncomfortably under her stare. You felt like she knew, but you were too far into your lie to stop now.</div>
A knock at the door saves you from the interrogation.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'The pizza!'</span> You burst out, gracious for the save.</div>
As you stand to go, Sophie stands with you pushing you against the wall. She's far stronger than you and has no problem overpowering you.
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'You little pervert! I could see you watching me! and how dare you lie to me!'</span> Sophie said, her voice low and bristling with anger.</div>

There's another knock on the door.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'You're joking?! I can't do that...'</span> You begin to protest before Sophie cuts you off again.</div>
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'You need to understand how it made me feel to have you watching me completely naked.

You can't believe it. A day ago, you were working in a shitty supermarket, and now you had a job working in a prestigious institution in what seemed like a dream job. You continue to sit in stunned silence for a few moments more before you decide to go and tell Adrian and Sophie.
You take off your headphones, the sounds of the real world returning to you. As soon as you open your door, you hear it. Loud moans.<<set $peek to 1>> As you creep down the hallway, the sounds are definitely coming from Adrian and Sophie's room.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You take one of the joints from Adrian and take a puff. You haven't smoked for a long time, though in Uni you used to smoke a lot, probably because you found it an escape from your own monotonous life. As the Weed's effects hit you, you feel a familiar awakening in your brain. The sensation makes your vision seem blurry, and it's as if your mind has a narrative of its own.

<<if $peek is not 1>>Pizza arrives, and the three of you have a debate about who will go and get it. It doesn't take long before the other two convince you to answer the door. An inpatient looking delivery girl in her late teens is holding pizza boxes. She's pretty, and it makes your face light up red as you awkwardly bumble through your encounter. Nonetheless, she doesn't seem to care about you or your state, and you return to your friends with the pizza.
<</if>>You spend the next few hours: smoking, eating and watching TV, though you can only half remember half of it. The next thing you remember is waking up, the lights turned out, and the credits of some movie playing. In a daze, you watch the names until the music fades away. You begin to notice the other repetitive sound echoing through the house. Moaning.<<if $peek is not 1>> The noise fills your mind, and you can't help but replay the events of the afternoon in your head. Sophie's slutty body being ravaged.<</if>>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/smoke 1a.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You needed some relief. Sneaking upstairs, you see that Adrian and Sophie's door is firmly shut, though Sophies cries of pleasure get louder. It's all you can hear. It's all you can think about.
Getting into your room, you load up your browser and put in your headphones. You pause and swallow, trying to decide what porn to watch.

Adrian, obviously baked, holds the joint out to you. You hadn't smoked for a long time but remember the paranoia, and just remember feeling distinctly unmotivated to do anything around the time you had been smoking. It's not an experience that you particularly wanted to repeat.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I'm actually good, thanks.'</span> You decline his offer.</div>
<<if $peek is 1>><div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'So... What was the point of answering the door without your trousers?'</span> He asks, confused. <span style="color:#adeed3">'More for us.'</span> He shrugged, and Sophie snorts at your discomfort.</div>

Pizza arrives, and the other two quickly make you go and get it, claiming they're "too high" to answer it. You don't mind much it's not a big deal. An inpatient looking delivery girl in her late teens is holding pizza boxes. She's pretty, and you awkwardly bumble through your encounter, making you feel as if you were high. She doesn't seem to care either way, and you return to your friends with the pizza.
You spend the next few hours, with the others, eating and watching TV. You're tired after what has felt like a long day, and halfway through the movie, you excuse yourself. Catching sight of your laptop you pause, debating whether to watch porn before you fall asleep. You open you laptop, knowing you'll sleep soundly if you do.

Your baggy trousers drop effortlessly around your ankles. Looking up at Sophie, you see a glint in her eye before she smiles sweetly, encouraging you. Looking down, your shirt hangs just below your boxers appearing more like a dress than a shirt.
You take a hesitant step towards the front door. Taking a deep breath, you prepare to get this over with. You open the door, the cool air brushing your legs, as an inpatient looking delivery girl in her late teens. She's pretty, and it makes your face light up red.

Getting your clothes back on, Sophie seems proud of herself as the two fo them light up a joint.

</center></div>
The door is slightly ajar, and you make your way to it, being careful not to make a noise. You can hear Sophie's voice, breathing heavily as she speaks. Rounding the door, you are stunned by the sight of Sophie, naked on all fours, on top of Adrian. His dick just at the entrance of her pussy, while a black dildo stretches her asshole. Her ass, up in the air, looks so smooth and peach-like.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/peek 1.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
You had to keep swallowing to save yourself from drooling, and you could feel your dick straining against your trousers.
Adrian complies as you see Sophie reaches back around, taking hold of the dildo while she begins to move her hips up and down. It's not long until they're at it at full pace, the house filled with their moans. Adrian's grunts sound almost painful as he struggles to control himself and not cum.

You get back into your room and close the door, trying to forget the scene; burnt into your mind.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You don't know how long you've been sitting on your bed. It has been a while since Sophie's moans died out when you decide it's safe to go downstairs.
In the hallway, you can hear the sounds of the TV on downstairs, and the smell of sex lingers in the air. Both Adrian and Sophie jump when you get into the living room, a look of shock on their faces.
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'Shit! $name, you scared us!'</span> Adrian bursts out after he's taken a second.</div>

<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'So, you didn't see or hear anything that you shouldn't have just now?'</span> She questioned sternly.</div>
You took a second to respond. On one hand, it was an accident, though you don't know if Sophie would see it like that. On the other, it was embarrassing and Sophie wasn't known to be the most rational.</div>

You sit, watching the TV, not taking in anything that's happening.
Adrian comes down a little while later, brandishing a few joints in his hand.
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'You guys haven't even started on drinks yet?'</span> He said, smiling.</div>

When you get back with the drinks, the other two are already smoking. You watch the other two breathing the thick smoke in and out of their lungs. You hadn't smoked weed for a long time, perhaps now was the time to officially stop. Standing in the doorway, you pause, lost in thought, for an awkward amount of time.

<div class="box mini-br-after">Eagerly, you skip forward, ruining the magic of the build-up. Instantly, you wish that you hadn't. You see the girl on all fours, the black man behind her thrusting hard, sending a jolt through her. Her eye's rolled back into her face as she moans uncontrollably, filling your mind with the sounds of sex.
The main issue is that there's a guy head watching the action. He's right in the way and totally ruining the scene for you.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn2 7.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
Your mind wanders to the related section, and you scroll through the videos until one catches your eye. It's called BBC Submission. Hovering over the video, it jumps from clip to clip, displaying an excess of stunning girls all sucking or fucking a guy with a thick black cock.
Your senses feel overwhelmed as you watch the preview clips of girl after girl being fucked while the girl on your screen moans with pleasure. Her cries suddenly turn to panting as the guy has dropped her onto the floor and is about to cum over her pretty face. You're breathing hard and have to keep swallowing the saliva building up in your mouth.
You click the video. Suddenly, everything goes quiet, and words flash up on the screen, along with a deep humming:
<div class="box hypno2"><center><span style="color:#e2d2eb">'What do these girls all have in common?'</span></center></div>
The screen fades to black. And then: clip after clip flash up at you, hardly giving you time to register one before the next one flashes up. You're dazzled by the speed and quantity of the clips. Each one is a girl with alluring eyes and a large black cock.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/hypno 3.webp" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Clicking the video, you watch the girl in green lingerie that complimented her skin and hair flirting with her as he stands above her. You could sense his masculinity by just watching him. It must feel so overwhelming for her. Watching her giggle and play with her hair, it's so obvious what she wants.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn2 1.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
The girl drops down to her knees, keeping her eyes looking up at him the entire time, her anticipation obvious in her rising and falling chest. He tells her to undress him as he stands powerfully above her. She does, letting his cock spring out and bounce with its own weight. After spending a second admiring it, she takes it in her petit hand, looking up at him, searching for approval.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn2 2.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
There's a slight blur in the corner of the screen that shifts, making you realise that it's a person. It must be some mistake, you conclude. They're almost the background colour and aren't really in the shot. The girl begins to sensually suck the thick black cock, wetting it with her mouth. You swipe to change the angle, trying to remove the annoying blur.
Watching her so lovingly suck his cock back and forth, you find yourself so turned on.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/porn2 3.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
The man effortlessly picks her up and throws her onto her stomach. She gasps as she lands, turning to look back up at him with such big innocent eyes. He pushes her body down so that her ass is up in the air. In one swift motion, he pushes his cock into her dripping pussy. The girl's eyes open wide, and she arches her back, giving him access to go deeper.
Using the entire length of his cock he starts slow; letting getting used to it before he increases his speed. She squeals as he picks up the pace. With each thrust, you see her body jolt, her face contorted into a look of ecstasy.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">The screen fades to black. Different clips flash up, they're slightly longer this time. You watch this time as each girl lovingly caresses a cock, rubbing it with her face, her hand or her mouth. Every so often, you see the flash of some text, but it's gone before you can even attempt to read it. The clips are over before you realise it, and the screen goes black again.

<div class="box hypno2"><center><span style="color:#e2d2eb">'Watch again.'</span></center></div>
This time there was music. The clips were all longer. You watched the look of pleasure on the girl's face as a big black man fucked her. Each one is shown for a matter of seconds before it's replaced by the next. You still can catch text flashing on the screen but have no time to register it. Your dick is rock hard and twitching. You've been so entranced by it all that you hadn't even thought about touching yourself. You quickly reach down and grab your dick. Your mind instantly spirals with pleasure, and you feel as if you're not far from cumming already.

<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/hypno 5 2.webp" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
As you orgasm, you feel your body tense up and relax. You feel so alive, your body exploding with sweet relief.
Coming down from your high, a sudden surge of exhaustion takes you. You continue to watch the girls making the guys cum. Each of the guys ejaculated load after load of cum. You feel yourself slipping into sleep, but you read a final message before you do.

He picks her up as if she weighs nothing, dropping her onto all fours. Everytime her pushes her cock into her face
The camera focuses on her face as her eyes roll back from the pleasure. She looks directly at you, smiling. 'I love you.' She mouths. Your mind goes over the edge as the man begins to fuck her slower but harder.

Zooming out: you see the guy's head in view, clearly watching. It's not a mistake that he's there. You try to swipe to get rid of him, but it doesn't let you. You watch as the black man pulls her head back using her hair.
Pushing a finger into her mouth, she instinctively sucks on it, caught in a world of lust that she can do nothing but oblige. He begins to fuck her hard. She screams out in pleasure, her eyes being forced backwards with elation.

You're so overwhelmed; that you don't even realise you're starting cum. You can't help it. You just got so carried away. Waves of pleasure sent your mind over the edge, cum dribbling out of your dick.
The black man picks the girl up and pushes her back onto her knees. She instantly sticks out her tongue, begging for his release. In a few seconds, he cums, and ropes of thick cum spray out over her face. It's such a contrast to how you came.
She looks so happy, her face and mouth, smeared with his cum.</div>

When you get to your bedroom, you look around at the chaos that you've let it fall into. Half frowning, you get to work, first sorting what you need and what you don't. You find a surprising amount of junk or things you have no use for and have to get several bin bags for worthless items. The process of sorting, and then packing, takes far longer than you're expecting. You end up spending the next few days doing the packing.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">With a lot of effort, you're all done by the time the day for your styling comes around.
Coming down the stairs, Sophie is sitting watching some gossipy talk show. She turns to look at you up and down when she notices you there.
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'Well, I suppose you have to wear "something" there?'</span> She sighs.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'What do you mean? What's wrong with this?'</span> You ask defensively, looking down at your jeans and hoodie. It was simple, and it's all clean.</div>

<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'Alana's a stylist. Trust me, I don't think she's going to be impressed by your jeans and an oversized hoodie. Not to mention they went out of style years ago.'</span> She turns to go back to her show.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'This isn't oversized!'</span> You start to defend yourself, but Sophie isn't really listening.</div>
Your hoodie was baggy, and the body hung a bit low. But the arm length was right so, it didn't feel too big. It was as if no one ever made clothing in your size. It always felt like one or more aspects of it were wrong.
<div class="box you">Seeing Sophie not listening to you anymore, you turn to leave. <span style="color:#afeeee">'See you, Soph. Thanks for your help today.'</span></div>
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'It's not a big deal. Everything better be packed right. I don't want to have to deal wih any of your stuff.'</span> She says, still watching her show.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">When you get to the address Sophie gave you, you're met by a stylish clothing store. Bright white lights illuminate racks of clothing, and as you walk through, you can't help but feel terribly out of place amongst the rows of women's fashion. The last section you walk through before you get to the front desk is lingerie. You feel your breath get tight in your chest; images of beautiful smooth bodies clad in skimpy lingerie surround you. You try your hardest not to look, as you can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, not knowing where to look.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/banners/stylist 1.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You get to the front desk, and you're greeted by a girl, a bit younger than you. She's dressed in such a way that perfectly treads the line between sexy and professional; in a white blouse and a black lacey choker. Her beauty is equally captivating and intimidating.
<div class="box girl2"><span style="color:#d39db1">'Good afternoon? Are you lost? Where are you looking for?'</span> She asks, showing off her perfect smile.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I... No, I'm looking for Alana. I have a style appointment... thing.'</span> You say, fumbling your words.</div>
<div class="box girl2"><span style="color:#d39db1">'Oh, gosh, yes. I can see that! Don't worry, sweety, she'll sort you right out. If you'd like to have a seat, she'll be right out with you.'</span> She gestures over to a white set of comfortable chairs, and a coffee table, with fashion magazines laying out.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/stylist 3.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You sit for a few minutes, casually leafing through the magazines, just for something for you to seem busy. You nod along to the RnB tunes in the background, rapping about a girl with a fine ass.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Anything catching your eye?'</span> A tall girl with olive skin gracefully walks towards you, her hips swaying from side to side with each step. Her features benefit from mixed gene's, and she's stunning because of it.</div>
She's wearing a beige and green knitted jumper dress that sits just above her knees, displaying long curvey legs and a pair of black 3" heels. A black belt with a large gold buckle show's off her tiny waist. She looks as if she were straight out of the magazine you were reading.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'No. I was just... staring.'</span> You wince at your word choice.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'No styles you'd like to take inspiration from?'</span> She continues without missing a beat.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Probably not. I mean, it's all girls stuff.'</span> You glance down at the magazine, slightly embarrassed.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Doesn't mean we can't draw inspiration. I wouldn't say that clothes are particularly gendered. Different items look better on different bodies. For instance, we all wear t-shirts, but we wear the those that are most flattering to our bodies.'</span> She reasoned.</div>
<div class="box you">You thought about it. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I suppose you're right. Like how a tall person and a short person can't wear the same clothes.'</span> You say, feeling the urge to try and impress her.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Very good! I'm under the impression that we can wear whatever we want it's all about what looks good... More, makes us feel confident.'</span> She continues, sitting across from you. You notice her posture, so tall and elegant, and you sit up taller to emulate her.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Definitely!'</span> You agree. You're surprised at how easy you can converse with Alana, despite her being so beautiful. </div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'You are very clever. Would you like coffee while we chat? I need to get an idea about what you're going for. Soph, mentioned you had a new job?'</span> She said.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes please to coffee. And yes, I got a job about a week ago in America. I fly out tomorrow, and the company is paying for everything, so it's pretty high brow.'</span> You explain.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'And, you feel that to such a prestigious institution, you need some help fitting in?'</span> She added, helpfully.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Exactly! I'm just worried that I might not fit in. Like, they'll probably work it out and think that they made a mistake hiring me.'</span> You open up.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'So, the goal here is confidence. Confidence with the aim of popularity. I think that's enough. Now, remember, fashion can't forge confidence. It can't force you to be more confident.'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Wait, so what you're saying is that I shouldn't wear clothing that makes me more confident unless I already feel confident.'</span> You say, unsure whether you've fully understood.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'What I'm saying is fashion only brings out what is already in us. It brings out what is already there. It's a reflection of ourselves, but we reflect what we want the world to see.'</span> She pauses, and you nod. <span style="color:#c12a52">'I do have another issue. You said you were leaving tomorrow. Which means that I can't really have anything tailored. So, we are restricted to what I have in store. Is that all right?'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah. Honestly, this is more than I could have hoped for.'</span> You stand as she does. It's at this moment that you notice, just how much taller she is than you; she seems to be almost a head taller.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">She leads you through a backdoor and up a small flight of stairs. You enter a well-lit room that stuns you for a second with its brightness. There's a small catwalk in the middle of the room, and the walls are covered in clothes; as if it were a literal library of garments, organised into style and colour.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'First for the awkward bit. I need you in your panties to get your full body of measurements.'</span> She says, pulling out a tape measure to illustrate the point.</div>
<<if $willpower is 4 >>You pause for a second, a little puzzled as to why she referred to them as your panties.<<else>>You pause for a second, a little puzzled as to why she referred to them as your panties.

<<if $willpower is 4>><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh, yeah, uh... Panties?'</span> You question; gently.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Oh, your underwear? Sorry, I didn't know the word panties made you uncomfortable.'</span> She said with the slightest inflexion of judgement.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh... Sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.'</span> You say, backing down instantly, not wanting to irritate her.</div><<else>><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh, um... Yeah, of course.'</span> You respond slowly, assuming it was a mistake that she called them panties. You tell yourself that she was a professional, and it was literally her job. She must see all sorts of body types.</div><</if>>
You strip off your jumper and undo your belt, letting your loose trousers fall to the ground. Alana takes each item of clothing from you, expertly folding them and putting them onto a desk nearby. Thankfully the temperature of the room is pleasant considering its size.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Okay, would you mind standing on the catwalk? I'll try and get this done quickly.'</span> She asks.</div>
You comply, and she makes quick work of taking measurements of your limbs, body, and the circumference of everything.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Hm.'</span> She glances over her list of numbers. <span style="color:#c12a52">'I know a lot of... people who would kill for a body, naturally, like yours.'</span> She looks up at you, impressed as if you've done well to achieve it.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/stylist 4.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thanks.'</span> You say, suppressing a smile. This might be the first time anyone has ever complimented your body, and it's a feeling like no other.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'So.'</span> She says slowly, pondering how to phrase her explanation. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Do you remember how we said that clothes are merely clothes?'</span></div>
You nod, paying attention to her now.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'We said that clothes are made to make us look good, and we wear what makes us look good?'</span> She continues.</div>
You nod again, not sure where she's going with this.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Clothes then fall into two broad categories: Male and Female. Or, if you want to be precise, Masculine and Feminine, in other words gendered towards men or women. I don't particularly like them as categories; I find them far too restrictive. However, there is a lot of crossover between these two, if we think some t-shirts, jeans and suits.'</span> She pauses again, letting you catch up. <span style="color:#c12a52">'The suit you're wearing would technically fall under a women's pant-suit.'</span></div>
There's a bit of an awkward pause while you struggle to come to terms with it. You look at yourself in the mirror. You do look good, but it's now tarnished with the fact that you're in a women's suit.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/stylist 5 2.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'What do you think?'</span> Alana asked tenderly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'About what? Wearing women's clothing?'</span> You replied; a little too bluntly.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'I suppose. What I mean is; the fact that you still look good. I wouldn't put you in anything that you didn't feel good in. You're wearing a suit that fit's your body, and nobody will know the gender unless you tell them.'</span> She continues sympathetically.</div></div>

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Sure.'</span> You say, not caring much for more details.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Thoughts on the colour?'</span> Alana asks, without missing a beat.</div>
<<else>><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I suppose... I do look good.'</span> You say, tentitively.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Technically, we already knew that. You look good, and that's all that should matter.'</span> She smiles, looking directly at you. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Thoughts on the colour?'</span> She continued, without missing a beat.</div>
<</if>><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Um, I guess... I'm not super keen on it.'</span> You respond, your mind now focused on the colour.</div>
<div class="box alana">She breaks into a smile. <span style="color:#c12a52">'No. Nor am I. At least not yet. But, I did say: it was just for sizing, and you are happy with that.'</span> She says clearly in thought. <span style="color:#c12a52">'I'm not sure I want you in black. It's boring. Well, it's not boring per say, but it's not what we're going for.'</span> She turns to back to the rack.</div>
Now that she knows what sizing works, she takes a few suits and a couple of variations off the racks. Handing them to you, perhaps for the first time, you find yourself really enjoying the process of trying clothes on. With each new suit, she takes a few seconds in silence before exclaiming. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Perfect.'</span> or she makes a face, and you move on.
You're not sure how long you've been with Alana, but by the end of it, you have a few really nice suits in a variety of colours hung on a rack. You look proudly at them, pleased with them all. Then a thought strikes you.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Alana... How much will this all cost me? I'm not sure how many suits Sophie and Adrian are getting for me.'</span> You say sadly.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'You don't need to worry about that, they've organised it all with me.'</span> She says happily. <span style="color:#c12a52">'But I think I'll throw in a few extra things, get you started with a new wardrobe and in return you continue to use me into the future?'</span></div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Alana takes a few steps in one direction and then slows her pace. Looking back over the numbers, recalculating them in her head. She then changes direction completely. Getting to a wall of clothes, she begins leafing through them, scraping the hangers against the metal railings.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'I think we'll start with a suit. That's going to be our main focus...'</span> She trails off, lost in her own thoughts.</div>
You watch her for a few moments. She seems to look even more attractive while she's absorbed in her work, you think to yourself, while standing in the middle of the room in your underwear.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Why don't we start with this? Just for size to begin with. It'll give us a good gauge, and then we can go from there.'</span> She said, pulling out a dark green suit.</div>
She grabs a white shirt on the way to you and hands them both to you. You pull on the shirt and instantly feel a difference: it doesn't feel baggy while still fitting your arms and body. There is a bit of excess material around the chest area, but it's loads better than what you're used to.
Excitedly, you pull on the trousers and fasten them with a belt that Alana hands you. The feeling is the same, fitting around the hips while not being excessively baggy around the legs. In fact, the trousers seem to be a slim fit, while not being overly tight anywhere. You put on the jacket, with the same results. It even seems to hug the waist nicely.

<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Then I don't understand. What are we doing here?'</span> Alana says bluntly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's just... I want to look good. I don't want to wear girl's clothes to do that.'</span> You try and express your point against Alana's well thought through argument.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'We agreed... We agreed earlier that clothes are clothes, and it's all about making us look good; didn't we? Or did I make that up?'</span> She asks, her voice far choppier.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'No, we did. I guess, the idea of wearing these clothes makes me uncomfortable...'</span> You start, trying another avenue.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'But, you were happy.'</span> Alana cuts you off. <span style="color:#c12a52">'... with the suit, and now that you've learnt that the label has the wrong word in it, you're not going to wear them.'</span> She trails off, sounding hurt.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I guess...'</span> You pause, thinking about it for a few seconds. <span style="color:#c12a52">'I guess not.'</span></div>
An awkward silence ensues.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'So what do you want? Any suit that says simply: "Men's" inside it?'</span> She finally responds.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah. If that's okay?'</span> You say quietly.</div>
There's another pause.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Fine. I'll do what I can with your measurements. But, know that I'm doing this only as a favour for Sophie.'</span> Going back to her numbers, she turns to another rack of clothes.</div>
You undress back into your boxers. An uncomfortable quiet has now fallen on the room, accentuated by RnB in the background.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box you">Her response stuns you for a second. <span style="color:#afeeee">'What do mean?'</span> You ask, somehow feeling this to be too good to be true.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'As it happens, I'm going to be moving to America in about a month or two. I haven't exactly worked out the details. But, I'd like you to be one of my clients when I get there. You can pay me as and when you can afford it, and perhaps one day, we can talk about a bit of modelling.'</span> She says, giving a half-smile.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Are you serious?!'</span> You burst out, barely waiting for her to finish her sentence. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Alana, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!'</span></div>
<div class="box alana">Alana breaks out into a perfect smile. <span style="color:#c12a52">'So, I'll take that as a yes! That makes me so happy too! Now, we really need to do something about your hair. Get changed, and I'll take you to Mateo. When's the last time you had your hair cut?'</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Can't remember, maybe a year... Probably more.' You admit sheepishly.</span></div>
<div class="box alana">Alana laughs, the sound melodic and light, like a flutter. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Then you better be prepared for a bit of grumbling.'</span></div>
You change back into your clothes and follow Alana back down the stairs, through another door, and into a warm feeling hair salon. The receptionist is talking to a tall Spanish looking man dressed in a black shirt and jeans, leaning against a wall as if he were in a commercial. His features and hair are all sharp and bold. Everything about him screams masculinity. When they notice you, the receptionist turns to leave, giving you a pleasant smile as she passes by. The man, who you assume is Mateo, walks towards you, paralysing you with the intense confidence of his glare. You notice the spice of his cologne and you feel lightheaded in his presence.

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Mateo, this is $name. They need a bit of tidying, as you might be able to see.'</span> Alana says. You can hear the smile in her voice.</div>
<div class="box guy2"><span style="color:#ac594c">'I see that.'</span> Mateo raises an eyebrow at your hair, speaking with a slight accent. <span style="color:#ac594c">'In the chair, please. I'll give it a wash first.'</span> He says quickly, gesturing to a reclined chair with a washbasin at the head.</div>
You glance up at Alana, who gives you a reassuring smile before you comply and lie back in the chair.
<div class="box guy2"><span style="color:#ac594c">'What is it that we are going for today?'</span> Mateo asked from behind you.</div>
<div class="box alana">Before you have a chance to think about it, Alana answers. <span style="color:#c12a52">'We have been trying to achieve a look unique to $name while also allowing confidence and popularity. They were the words we focused on.'</span> </div>
<div class="box guy2">There's a slight pause before he responds. <span style="color:#ac594c">'Okay. I can do that.'</span></div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'Thanks, hun. $name, come to the reception when you're done, and I'll go over a few things before I release you.'</span> She says before you hear the sound of her heels heading to the door.</div>
Without saying a word to you, he begins. You spend about twenty minutes in the chair. Mateo massages your scalp and gently runs his fingers through your hair as he expertly washes it. The sensation is so relaxing that you have to fight not to drift off.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/hair 1 2.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box guy2"><span style="color:#ac594c">'Okay, to the chair.'</span> Mateo's voice startles you. You realise that he's finished, and there's now a towel around your head.</div>
Taking a seat in the new chair in front of a very well lit mirror, it doesn't take long before you're back in your trance. The gentle tug of the comb as Mateo pulls out your hair and the sound of scissors cutting lulls you. For a while, you watch Mateo, deeply immersed in the process of styling your hair. Each cut he makes is so precise; you trust that Mateo will give you the best haircut you've ever received.
<div class="box guy2"><span style="color:#ac594c">'Done.'</span> He says curtly after he's given it a quick blow-dry.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You look into the mirror. He's kept the length and styled it by letting it fall natually. It looks neater than it had; maybe too neat, the ends flick up cutely. You'd always liked your long hair. Long hair was your style but this almost felt too... pretty, though you couldn't quite put a finger on it. Also, it was odd, but it was as if your new hairstyle made your face feel narrower, almost pixy like.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/hair 2 2.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's nice.'</span> You say after a long pause, not wanting to seem rude.</div>
<div class="box guy2"><span style="color:#ac594c">'Yes.'</span> Mateo says, taking a step backwards. He clearly was done with you being here in his space. He was probably used to a higher class of clientele, and you just didn't fit that.</div>
<div class="box you">You get up and walk out. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Thank you.'</span> You smile as you walk past, hoping to just get out of the situation.</div>
He just nods and lets you leave, and you find your way back to reception. The receptionist looks up to see you, smiles and picks up the phone.
<div class="box girl2"><span style="color:#d39db1">'Mat's finished.'</span> She hangs up and goes back to her computer.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box alana">Alana returns with a dark blue suit. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Try this on. You'll have to tell me how it feels. I'm not sure if I'll be able to help with the fitting anymore. I've never tried to match someone to garments that simply don't fit.'</span> She holds it out to you.</div>
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/stylist 8b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thank you. I'll try my best.'</span> You say, smiling politely, trying to win her back onto your side.</div>
She smiles back, though you don't think she actually means it.
You first pull on the trousers, finding that you have spread your legs slightly to help them stay on. The belt helps them stay up, though the top bunches around the belt loops. You look up at Alana, hoping for some input, but she stays quiet. Next, you take the shirt and jacket, pulling them on too.
It is definitely an improvement from your previous suits you've owned, but only a bit. The shirt feels as if it is tucked in too far, and the jacket feels if it hung over your shoulders rather than fit you right. Despite this, Alana just looks on. It's clear from her expression that she's losing interest.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/stylist 8b2.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I guess it's all the right length. It just feels baggy everywhere.'</span> You turn and let the material bunch up to emphasise the point, hoping that Alana will re-engage with the conversation.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'To be honest with you, $name, I'm not sure what I can do about that. You're in a slim-fitting suit, and without a tailor, we're a little bit stuck. You could try a skinny suit, though that's not something we do here.'</span> She paused. <span style="color:#c12a52">'Not really our style.'</span></div>
You look at yourself forlornly in the mirror. The suit does seem much better than your current suit, though that wasn't really saying much. Things weren't turning out how you'd hoped they would.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'So, would you like to stick to this size or go back to the women's suit?'</span> She asks, looking back at her pad.</div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You think about it for a few seconds. You couldn't bring yourself to wear clothing meant for a girl. You were a guy. You //are// a guy! Maybe once you were in America, you could find a skinny suit. You knew you couldn't go on wearing the suits you had been. You'd look silly, and there's no way you'd fit in.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I think my only option is to stick to this size.'</span> You say, with more confidence than you felt.</div>
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'That's fine. Change back into your own clothes, and we'll look at a few colours.'</span> Alana says.</div>
Quickly changing back into your old clothes, you scurry over to Alana, whos already selected a few suits for you to choose from. It doesn't take long for you to select three suits, two different shades of blue and a light grey.
Alana then leads you back to the reception, where you give your details to Elena, the receptionist. Not long after, you find yourself on the bus on your way back home. You feel as though you were rushed out of there, which makes sense considering Alana's annoyance towards the end. For the rest of the bus ride, you spend time thinking over your decisions: had you made the right choice? Alana didn't seem to think so. If she thought you looked good, then, everyone else would surely think the same. Her philosophy still rang in your head: We wear what makes us look good, regardless of anything else.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box alana">After a few seconds, Alana emerges from the bottom of the stairs. <span style="color:#c12a52">'You look just wonderful! Isn't this just the story of the duckling becoming the beautiful swan. Turn around.'</span></div>
Her words force a smile from you and do as she says.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'That man really can do wonders!'</span> She purrs, barely touching your hair as if she might disturb it.</div>
You turn back around, feeling much better about your hair after the genuine praise from Alana.
<div class="box alana"><span style="color:#c12a52">'So, we're done here. I've arranged for your suits and a few extra's to be sent to America. If you give Elena the institutions address, we'll make sure they get to you.'</span> Alana says casually.</div>
<div class="box you">You don't even know where to begin. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I can't thank you enough. You've done so much for me! Thank you so so much!'</span> You burst out a jumble of words. <span style="color:#afeeee">'You've actually made me excited about going!'</span></div>
<div class="box alana">Alana giggled. The sound makes your heart melt once more. <span style="color:#c12a52">'I've added a few more things. I get the feeling that if you wore this to a stylist meeting, the rest of your wardrobe isn't much better. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have paying work to be getting on with.'</span> She gives you a wink before she leaves.</div>
You give the address you were given to Elena, and leave with a new hop in your step.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You creep towards the door and peek around the corner. The sight shocks you, and you take a few seconds to comprehend what you're seeing. Sophie is in reverse cowgirl, she's looking in your direction, but her eyes are glazed over as if she's totally emersed in bliss. What shocks you is the guy she's on top of. He's big, black and definitely not Adrian. As Sophie moves up, you see the cock of this guy emerge. It's huge. Easily the biggest you've seen in real life. You can't stop staring at it. It's so long and thick, and it has veins all the way up it.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/soph 2.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Both of their bodies are shiny with sweat as if they've been at it for a while. Sophie bounces up and down, surprising you with how much of the big black cock is pushed into her. Her body looks so petit impaled by such a large dick. Her hair is a mess, stuck against her face in some places, and her eyes are wide. She bites her bottom lip hard as if she's trying to contain herself, but her moans persist, and they're all you can hear.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/soph 2 2.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'Fuck me! Fuck me! Please give it all to me! I love it!'</span> Sophie bursts out.</div>

</center></div>
Sophie turns around to face the guy, his cock still buried inside her. The guy stands up, and she wraps her arm around him to hold herself on. His cock sinks deep into Sophie, and she shivers violently, tossing her head backwards. After a few seconds of deep penetration, he lifts Sophie, her ass squashed out between his fingers and drops her down onto his cock, over and over. Sophie has barely has time to recover before her pussy is filled once more by his black dick.</div>

Slightly disappointed by your own resolve, you turned away, heading for the shower. Sophie's screams fill the corridor, taunting you with what you're missing.
Getting into the shower, you try and drown out Sophie's moans. The sound of the running water helps immensely, and it's not long before you manage to forget everything else. You reach down for your body wash and shampoo but only find Sophie's. You'd packed yours the day before as you didn't know what you'd have when you get to the States. Sophie probably wouldn't mind if you used her stuff just for the day.
You read the bottle, just to be safe.
"Cleanser, not suitable for use on face or hair."
You shrug. Good thing you read the bottle. It's not like men's body wash: used for body, face and hair. You turn off the running water and lather your body up, not missing a spot, making sure that you are extra clean for your flight tomorrow.
Washing it off, you apply the shampoo. "Rose and Pomegranate, Shine." the label reads. Sounds delightful. Again, not like men's products called "Endurance" or "Bluewave" or something stupid, you smirk.
You step out of the shower and run into another problem: no towel. Annoyingly, Sophie's is hanging on the back of the door. It's long and pale pink. Not exactly what you want to be seen in, but what choice did you have. You dry yourself and wrap the towel around your body. There's no sound coming from Sophie and Adrian's room as you leave the bathroom.</div>

You can't stop watching. You know how wrong it is. You know you should leave, but you can't stop. Your cock is fully erect and twitching with excitement.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/soph 3 2.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box guy3"><span style="color:#7b9ae8">'I'm gonna cum.'</span> The guy grunts, his voice low. He looks up, smiles, and gives you a wink. You freeze, unable to react.</div>
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'God, yes! I can feel you so deep! Cum baby! Cum for mee!'</span> Sophie wails.</div>
He drops her onto her knees. It's the first time you've seen the full length of his cock, and your eyes go wide, locked on the sight of it. Sophie takes his dick in both hands and strokes it quickly. Her mouth open, her tongue hanging out, eagerly awaiting his load.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 1/soph 4.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/></center></div>
He grunts as he cums. His first shot misses her completely, falling on the bedsheets behind them. The second covers her face before she closes her lips around his tip, taking the rest in her mouth.
You dart around the corner, flattening yourself against the wall, catching your breath. You need a shower more than ever now. Making your way as quickly and quietly as you can, you get into your room and gently close the door behind you. You strip out of your clothes and dart to the bathroom in your boxers.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Jumping under the shower, you try and focus your mind. You'd just watch Sophie get fucked hard by another man; you'd just watched her cheating on Adrain. Despite that, you were so turned on, but your mind felt so torn that you couldn't bring yourself to masturbate.
//What should you do?// Surely, you needed to tell Adrian, but he will be so broken about it, and you were leaving tomorrow. You always knew that Sophie was out of Adrian's league, and it was just too good to be true. On one hand, you're happy that you caught her, but on the other, you're upset for Adrian.
The warm jets of water seemed to wash some of your thoughts away. You reach down for your body wash and shampoo but only find Sophie's. You'd packed yours the day before as you didn't know what you'd have when you get to the States. Sophie probably wouldn't mind if you used her stuff just for the day, plus this is your revenge.

<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'So? What do you have to say for yourself?'</span> Sophie glares you directly in the eye, forcing you to look down and away.</div>

You do as she says and stand in silence. You sway dizzily as you try to get your breath back, your heart beating hard in your chest.
A few seconds pass, and Sophie comes back in, holding a small light-blue device in her hand and a piece of paper in the other.

Sophie slides down your body until she's squatting at head height with your crotch. Bringing the cage up to your dick, she gently takes it in her other hand, cradling it as if it were so delicate. You notice her nails, painted though they were meant to match the lingerie she was wearing. Softly, she feeds your dick through the large opening on the device.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/chastity 6.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A girl is actually touching your dick for the first time ever, and it feels incredible. You realise that this would be the worst possible time to get an erection. Sophie is already angry at you and you don't want to do anything that would provoke her further. You look away and try to focus on your breathing. It's oddly even harder to control yourself when she touches the area behind your balls. You hold your breath trying to think of anything else.
//click//
You hear a light click and look down with a start. A small heart-shaped lock sits on top of the small blue device encompassing your dick.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/chastity 7.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>

<div class="box sophie">She takes the envelope, puts the key inside, and licks it shut. <span style="color:#958de7">'You're going to show me the envelope tomorrow, and then you can take it off. Fair?'</span> She leaves the envelope on your desk.</div>

There's a second as you brace for it. After a second, you relax just slightly as Sophie simply takes back the cage in her hand.

You sit heavily down on your bed, feeling defeated. The sensation of the cage around your dick is entrapping. Somehow you still feel horny, maybe even hornier now that there's a reminder pressing lightly against your dick.
It's then that the true purpose of the device reveals itself. As your dick starts to grow, the cage press's against it from all angles. The discomfort grows, and you shift as the ache continues. You look up at the envelope in a moment of desperation. After what feels like an age, your dick seems to get the message and settles down. You sigh with relief.
You feel like you get it now: Your horniness got you into this mess, so it was your horniness that was getting punished. Made sense, you thought.</div>

She was having sex with Troy, the mover.'</span> You say resolutely. Adrian's eyes go wide in shock as he looks at you both. He stays quiet for a few seconds, trying to find the words. Then he takes a step back, and angrily snaps at you both <span style="color:#adeed3">'How could you do this to me? Why? Why couldn't you just get along? This-this...'</span> He stops, as tears starts flowing <span style="color:#adeed3">'This was supposed to be a happy moment.'</span> He says defeatedly, his rage suddenly gone. He looks again at you, a sad, disappointed glare, then just leaves. You're left standing in the living room with Sophie, listening to Adrian stamp up the stairs and slam his bedroom door.

Slowly, you make your way upstairs, as she sits down you can hear her quietly sobbing. Then, it was just you, and you felt miserable. This evening had supposed to be like your sending off party, and instead, you were going to spend it alone. You sit heavily on your bed, feeling defeated.
The rest of your evening you spend on your phone. Your door stays shut, and you don't hear anything outside.

You listen as he trudges up the stairs, then you hear his door close, and it's quiet. For a bit, you sit in silence and try to listen in. But can't hear a thing. Instead, you question yourself: Had you done the right thing? Maybe it wasn't any of your business.

<<if $telladrian is 1>>You want to tell him. But, there are a few reasons why you shouldn't. Was it really any of your business? Adrian would be mortified if he knew that you knew. You couldn't do that to him. And, with you leaving tomorrow, there wouldn't be any way to really clear it all up.
<</if>><<if $clothes is 1>><div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'You've had a haircut!'</span> Adrian notices, smiling. Unintentionally, changing the topic for you. <span style="color:#adeed3">'Looks fantastic. Less scruffy. Suits you and your new job.</span> </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thanks!'</span> You smile, angling your head to give him different views. </div>
The two of you talk about your experience with the stylist, though you avoided telling him that you wore girls clothes. You go to the bathroom and when you return to the living room, Sophie's sitting on Adrian's lap, chatting and sipping wine.
<</if>><div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'So good baby, I'm really going to feel it tomorrow, but I feel amazing right now.'</span> Sophie beams.</div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'That's what he's for.'</span> Adrian laughs.</div>
You feel far too awkward to add to the conversation so just smile as you take a seat. Adrian obviously thinks they're talking in code though you know exactly what it's about.
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'and he helped the moving guys with $name's bags.'</span> Sophie smiled at you.</div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'I like him a lot.'</span> Adrian said, slurring his words a bit as you notice he's finishing his second beer in quick succession. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'That was really nice of him.'</span> You said, trying to feel involved, the beer going to your head.</div>
For a while, you have a lot of fun, the three of you chatting and laughing. It's nice; it feels like your Uni days when there was much less pressure. Though, you had never appreciated it at the time.
It's not long before you call it a night. You're aware that you have a flight in the morning and want to feel fresh for it. </div>

<div class="box you">You stand awkwardly, none of you knowing what to say next. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I'll see you tomorrow... Night. And thank you... for everything.'</span></div>
The goodbye feels awkward and clunky. But, as you go up the stairs, you're feeling genuinely upset about leaving. Sure, it wasn't that great, but you had a lot of fun... At least, you think you had. You feel melancholy as you get ready for bed in silence. Your room is now completely bare. Everything that had made it your own was gone.
As you finish getting ready,<<if $chastity is 1>> you remember the cage still fastened around your dick. You're surprised. You'd got used to the sensation and hadn't noticed it all evening.<<else>> you feel as if you're on auto-pilot completing your tasks without thinking.<</if>> When you get into bed, you hardly have to try to sleep before you fall into a deep slumber.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">The next thing you know: your alarm blares that it's time to go. Waking up, you still have the same downcast feeling. You're leaving your home, and though it wasn't all that great, it was still your home.
You remember that it's morning, and you're finally allowed to take the cage off. You stumble out of bed in your haste to get the key. You rip open the letter, take the key, and push it in the lock.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/leave 1.webp" style="width: 100%;"></center></div>
Your heart stops as it doesn't turn. It's so small that you don't want to risk forcing it and breaking it. There must be some logical explanation. Trying not to panic, you hurry to Adrian and Sophie's room.
Their room is open and empty. The house is eerily quiet, and when you get downstairs, no one is about. There's a letter note on the kitchen counter:
'Hey $name, I thought I'd miss you today. I'm not that great at goodbyes anyway. But, I just wanted to say good luck and have fun. Don't lose contact. AD.' It's cute, but you can't appreciate it at the moment.
You take out your phone and call Sophie; it rings a few times and then comes up with Sophie's voicemail. You curse and look at the time. There is about an hour before you're supposed to be picked up. Forcing yourself to take a breath, you access your options. There wasn't much you could do right now, but Sophie wouldn't leave you in this thing forever?! And, even if she did, you probably could get the lock cut. It would be the most embarrassing thing, but it beat being locked away forever.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/leave 3.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You're right in the middle of the thought when you hear the door unlock. Pretty much running from the kitchen, you see Sophie; in tight workout gear, her chest heaving.</div>
<div class="buttonbox">@@.btnUI;<<button [[Next|Leave 2a]]>><</button>>@@</div><div class="box location-box location-bg mini-br-after"><img src='media/chapter 1/banners/living room.jpg' style="max-width: 100%;"/><div class="box location-char-1"><img src='media/characters/sophie.png' style="max-width: 100%;"/></div></div>
<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Sophie! The key! I can't get it to work!'</span> The words pour out of your faster than your mouth can speak.</div>
<div class="box sophie"><span style="color:#958de7">'I know.'</span> She says, bending over to stretch out her legs; indifferently.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Sophie! I need this off me! I'm leaving soon.'</span> You burst out, trying to convey the urgency.</div>
She suddenly stops and gives you a curious, focused look <span style="color:#958de7">'Wait, you just found out, didn't you?'</span> She asks. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Well, y-yes... like we agreed'</span> You reply, taken aback by the strange question.
She pulls up a chain around her neck, showing you a small key nestled between her tits. <span style="color:#958de7">'I obviously did not trust you to keep your word, so I kept the key.'</span> she pauses <span style="color:#958de7">'Seems I was wrong.'</span> She adds with a surprised tone. You hold out your hand: she is about to give it to you, but stops just out of your reach. <span style="color:#958de7">'Wait, I... I'll give it you if you unlock it in front of me'</span> She says, her gaze still focused on you.
<span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah, sure, whatever, just give it here, please!'</span> you reply impatiently. She giggles, dropping the key into your outstretched hand.
You pull your trousers and boxers down around your thighs, revealing the source of your desperation. The key fits and there's a click as the locks pops open. You feel as if you can't get the cage off quick enough, excited for your regained freedom.
As you hand both the key and the cage back to Sophie. An odd feeling of triumph, filling you as you've completed your punishment. Sophie takes them and smiles, her somewhat puzzled look still on her face. She goes for the stairs, but stops halfway through. <span style="color:#958de7">'Good luck $name, I... Don't forget to call Adrian, ok?'</span> She gives you a genuine smile, and disappears up the stairs.
You collapse into the sofa, feeling as if your emotional capacity has burnt out.
You hear a knock at the door, startling you from your day-dream. Absent-mindedly you answer it. A large man in a black suit standing looking down at you. Everything about him seems broad and intimidating.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/leave 7.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Wondering downstairs, you check Adrian and Sophie's room. It's empty. The house is eerily quiet, and when you get downstairs, no one is about. There is a letter note on the kitchen counter:

Not knowing what to do with yourself, you aimlessly wonder around the house, trying to take it in one last time before you leave.
You hear a knock at the door, startling you from your thoughts. Absent-mindedly you answer it. A large man in a black suit standing looking down at you. Everything about him seems broad and intimidating.

<div class="box mini-br-after">Going to your room, you try and keep quiet, not wanting to disturb whatever is going on in their room. After what seems to be a long while, the door bursts open and Sophie storms out, clutching her coat. She shoots you a look before disappearing down the stairs. The front door slams as she leaves, and you go to check on Adrian.
Peeking around the door, you see Adrian sitting on the bed, looking idly out the window.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/adrian 6c.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Hey, you okay?'</span> You ask gently.</div>
<div class="box adrian">He turns to look at you; his eyes seem hollow; like he's looking right through you. <span style="color:#adeed3">'Yeah. Thanks, man. We're on a bit of a break, just to think about this.'</span> He speaks calmly, his voice void of any emotion.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh, I'm sorry, this must really suck.'</span> You say lamely.</div>
<div class="box adrian"><span style="color:#adeed3">'Yeah... If you don't mind. I'd kinda like to be alone right now.'</span> He responds.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah, course. I get it. Totally makes sense.'</span> You back out of the room. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Let me know if you need anything.'</span></div>
He just answers with a vacant smile.
The rest of your evening you spend on your phone. The door to your room is open, so you can be there for Adrian if he comes out, but he doesn't. His door stays shut.
Your room feels cold and empty without any of your possessions. It's not exactly how you'd expected to spend your last evening.</div>

<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 1/morning 2 1.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
When you get up, the house feels eerily quiet. You peer into Adrian's room, and it's empty. He's not downstairs either. There is a note on the kitchen counter:
'Hey $name, I'm sorry about yesterday, thanks for telling me it must have been hard. You're a good friend. I'm not that great at goodbyes anyway. Just wanted to say good luck and have fun. AD.' You read the note, feeling a wave of emotion as you imagine how hard it must be for him right now.
The next few hours you spend pottering around the house. Having packed, you didn't really have much to do other than wait. You find the sensation of waiting oddly nerve-wracking. The anticipation is making you overthink every little aspect of going away.
A knock startles you out of your own mind. You go to answer it, half expecting Sophie and not knowing what to say to her. You brace yourself as you open the door, but instead, you see a large man in a black suit standing looking down at you. Everything about him seems broad and intimidating.

His dick pounded her while a black dildo stretches her asshole, bouncing up and down in time with Adrian's movements.

The main stat is Willpower. A higher Willpower will allow you to have more autonomy, allowing you to decide on your actions. One way to increase Willpower is by making decisions for yourself, particularly if the decision opposes what another wants.

A lower Willpower will allow others to have a greater influence over you. You might find that you're more obedient to other characters' demands, and the option to choose for yourself isn't available. One way to decrease Willpower is by allowing other characters to make your decisions for you.

Once you gain access to the Relationship Tracker, your relationship with other characters will play a part in determining possible choices. For the most part, characters will increase their relationship with you if you comply with their requests or if you impress them. Conversely, if you disappoint or fail to do as another character asks, you are likely to lose relationship points.

<div class="box cpu">Tip: Often, denying another character's request can lead to an increase in Willpower but a fall in your relationship with that character.</div>
Finally, attraction to male and female characters is displayed. Different levels of the meters indicate different levels of attraction. Filling the meter shows that you are fully attracted to characters of that gender, whereas a partially filled bar shows various levels of interest and curiosity.

You pause, taking a moment to think, determined to impress.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'They were all attractive. Like, all of them were far above the average attractiveness. Which was a little weird considering the candidates were meant to be rating them.'</span></div>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Exactly!'</span> She gives you a proud smile. <span style="color:#e50666">'The point wasn't strictly to find out how candidates rated the images. But we have found that when aroused, candidates generally behaved differently.'</span></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">In the gym, you approach an athletic girl in a tight-fitting tank top, sitting behind a desk, idly scrolling through her phone.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Hi, $name here to see Coach Nelson.'</span> You say, trying to catch her attention.</div>
<div class="box you">'Okay.' She nods, setting her phone down and turns to her computer without looking at you. '$name $lastname? Fill these out and Coach Nelson will be out in a minute.' She hands you a clipboard with a few papers attached. 'Do you have your own kit today or will you be wanting to use ours?' She looks directly at you for the first time, and you're struck by the intensity of her crystal-blue eyes.</div>

You sit on a leather couch near the entrance, the cold leather penetrating your suit's material, cooling the back of your thighs. The paperwork is all pretty basic: Name, age, authorising the gym to use your results from the medical to fill in safety checks and formulate a personalised fitness program.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#00bfff">'$name $lastname?'</span> A deep voice summons you from the depths of your mind.</div>
Looking up, you are confronted by a large black man with sculpted muscles pushing to escape from his tight gym clothes. The heads of his shoulders are perfectly defined, and you can see the definition of his legs beneath his skin-tight leggings.

<div class="box zoey">Zoey laughs. <span style="color:#e50666">'Well if there's something you can't find from a store on campus then you'll need to go into town. Though you might have to wait to do that because your wristband won't be configured yet. At least that's what I had to do.'</span></div>

You're lost in thought in the lift.<<if $panties is 1>> At least you had something to wear; you move around on the spot feeling the comfort of the panties. <<else>> You feel the seam of your trousers catch on the skin of your crotch, and you wince at the sharp pain.<</if>> Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to go and look around one of the female stores and see if they have anything that would be appropriate.
Exiting the lift, you look at the time, contemplating whether you have time to go to the clothing store before you go to the gym. You remember Dr. Reyamov's stern warning not to be late. If you did go to find boxers, you would definitely be late for the gym. It was up to you then. Which did you think was more important? Being on time for Coach Nelson or sorting out your underwear problem.</div>

<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Sooo fun! I remember when I first started I was so tired after I just wanted to sleep!'</span> She laughs.</div>
You get to the changing room and Mia walks in, saving you from the embarrassment of walking into the women's changing rooms.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oops, could you point me in the direction of the men's changing room?'</span> You ask politely.</div>
<div class="box mia">Mia giggles. <span style="color:#de5d83">'Good thing I was here to save you from the shock! The changing rooms are mixed! There are a few individual changing booths inside if you're shy?'</span> She teases.</div>

You're greeted with the slow murmur of conversation emanating out of a large room separated by lockers. Down the section you can see, a menagerie of fit bodies stripping, glistening with sweat or changing into tight-fitting gym ware. Guys and girls casually get dressed next to each other.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'You just going to stand there staring, or are you planning to get ready?'</span> Mia asks loud enough to catch some glances.</div>
You feel your cheeks burn red after being called out. Hurriedly, you skip to catch up with Mia, heading to another aisle.

It's not that you don't want to see Mia changing; if you were to change with her, you're sure you'd have plenty of opportunities to sneak looks. Your point of concern is her and all the other attractive people in the changing room seeing and judging you. It's safer to change in your own private changing room, you surmise.

The room is spacious, with a large mirror, a bench and plenty of hooks to hang your clothes. You place your bag down and sit heavily after your long day. As you do, your heel makes contact with something under the bench. Without looking at you, reach a hand under and wrap your fingers around a cylindrical object. It was girthy and slightly tacky to the touch.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/private rooms.jpg" style="width: 495px;"></center></div>
You reveal a long black sex toy, which looks like a six-inch dildo combined with a buttplug. Your hand trembles slightly, your brain not processing your find, not knowing whether to drop it or something else. It's thick. Your hand barely wraps around it. There's a sudden moment of realisation as it seems to really register what you are holding, and you drop it suddenly.
As you stare at the object on the ground, a strange sensation to take it comes over you. You're not sure why. Something about it is lustful. It turns you on, and your desire extends to the toy.</div>

A black bra strap contrasts the paleness of her skin. You remind yourself to breathe as she drops her skirt to the floor, revealing a matching black thong cutting between her curvaceous behind. She turns, and you avert your eyes a moment too late. Mia's precious giggle fills the air, burning your cheeks with embarrassment.
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Like what you see? You can stare this once but if we're going to change together regularly, you'll just have to get used to allll of me.'</span> She teases.</div>
You don't adhere to her request, instead focusing on stripping off your shirt and jacket.
<<if $panties is 0 or 1>>You pause, as you're about to remove your trousers as well, suddenly acutely aware of your <<if $panties is 1>>panties beneath.<<else>>lack of underwear.<</if>> You look around, checking that no one else is looking before sliding into a spot where you hope Mia coundn't see you.

Your cheeks already burning, you glance up to see if Mia or anyone else had spotted <<if $panties is 1>>you in your panties.<<else>>your naked body.<</if>>If she had, Mia made no indication of it, and you vowed not to be this exposed again.

Surveying the gym area, all the other men fit the description given by Coach. The notable difference between them and you is their abundant muscles yearning to escape the fabric. You stand, lost in the sight of the men, glistening as their bodies strain against the weights.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'We'll get you to a point where you're filling out your gym kit nicely.'</span> Coach startles you from your trance.

Wordlessly, you take the bags in your arms and go to the changing rooms. You opt to change in the private rooms, nervous about how you'll look in skin-tight clothing. Adorning the new kit, you look up at the figure looking back at you in the mirror.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/gym 6.jpg" style="width: 495px;"></center></div>
You're in form-hugging yoga pants, and a matching top with a cropped that shows off your slim midriff. You're saved the reveal by a short jacket that only allows your skin to be shown if you move in certain ways.
The results aren't as bad as you'd feared. You're relieved that you're spared the embarrassment of the clothing being too baggy in terms of fit. The material does a good job of clinging to your skin. They accentuate your slim waist and rounded hips, though you're insecure about your petite upper body. Your flat chest and narrow shoulders seem to be shown off by the tank top.
After a moment of being lost, You trusted Coach's belief that you'd soon be able to fit your new kit better. You're nervous about going out and the judgement of the other gym users. A knock at the door startles you from your spiral.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'$name?'</span> Coach's voice penetrates the door.</div>

Rather than answer, you muster the courage to open the door. Coach's figure looms a few inches below the top of the door. He looks down at you, his hands on his hips.

You follow Coach's large stature onto the gym floor. All around are sweaty bodies and metal clinking loudly on metal. No one paid you any attention, putting your nerves to rest. Coach stops at an exercise bike and pats the seat, signalling you to get on.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'We're just going to start you off gently. Warm up them muscles and then move on to learning the technique of a few exercises.'</span> He says while he fiddles with the settings. <span style="color:#1550c0">'Whenever you're ready.'</span> He takes a step back, allowing you to begin.</div>
You nod, determined to give it your all as you pedal the bike. Thankfully, you don't embarrass yourself by struggling at the first hurdle as you build up some speed.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/gym 2b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'How does it feel?'</span> Coach asks.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Not bad, I could keep going like this for a while.'</span> You respond as your breath starts to deepen.</div>
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Good, this is only a warm up so your only job is to get warm.'</span> He continues.</div>
Your warm-up lasts about 15 minutes before Coach gets you off the bike onto a mat, where you mirror his stretches. During the process, Coach Nelson makes small talk about the weather, students returning to college and your old life in the UK.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Let's move on to something more fun!'</span> He gives you a wicked grin before leading you to a bar just above head height, held by a cage. <span style="color:#1550c0">'This here is a squat rack. We're going to start by building the largest muscles in your body, that'll tell the rest of your body to get ready for what's to come.'</span> He adjusts the supports until the bar is at your shoulder height.</div>
He demonstrates the motion he wants you to follow, carefully breaking the movement into easy-to-remember sections. You watch as he shows you each part with ease. His constricted torso flexes with the motion. He then instructs you on the correct position to spot a squatter, telling you to stand right up behind and against him. If he were to struggle, you'd assist him by lifting him by his chest.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/gym 7.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Doing as he says, you practice the maneuvre with him. When he's fully down in the squat position, you feel his solid body between your legs, his large chest rising and falling with powerful breaths. You find yourself needing to actively focus on the task at hand rather than Coach's imposing body.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Think you can do that?'</span> Coach asks, snapping you out of your daze.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah, sure.'</span> You answer on auto-pilot, hoping he was referring to the exercise.</div>
</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">
You take his place under the bar, carefully following his instructions on lifting the bar off the rack by extending your body. Coach rewards you with a satisfactory grunt and a slow nod. After stepping back, you begin the set, paying particular attention to your body and how it moves as instructed. You were painfully aware of how easy Coach had made it look, in contrast to how you felt.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/gym 8.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Don't change anything you're doing just because you're tired. This is all part of it. Keep your speed; keep your focus.'</span> Coach instructs sternly.</div>
He steps behind you and traces your movement down. You feel his substantial thighs brush against your hips. His body against yours makes you feel weak, and you have to remind yourself to breathe. Finishing the set, you drop the bar back on the rack, your legs burning unpleasantly.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Not too bad. Though your upper body was leaning forwards...'</span> He explains the benefits of the proper technique and what he wants you to focus on in your next set. He laughs. <span style="color:#1550c0">'This is why I needed you to be wearing compression clothing. This way, I can see every detail of your body, what you're doing wrong and what you're doing right!'</span></div>
In the next set, you pay attention to the tips Coach gave you and try to move your body accordingly. Halfway through, Coach asks you to stop. The metal clanks back into the rack, and your chest heaves as you wipe away the sheen of sweat covering your forehead.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Do a few things for me?'</span> He asks.<span style="color:#1550c0"> 'Put your weight onto the balls of your feet, keep a straight back and bend forward, trying to touch your toes.'</span></div>
You do so, though, when you're about a foot from being able to touch them. You're legs tighten and won't let you get any further. After a few seconds of hanging, you stand, looking at Coach expectantly.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Thought so. Your lack of flexibility is holding you back and as we increase the weight and build muscle mass, you risk injury.'</span> He pauses as he thinks. <span style="color:#1550c0">'I'm going to assign you to yoga classes. Twice a week should work. It's not surprising, until now, you've led a sedentary lifestyle, it's natural for your muscles to tighten up if they're not regularly stretched. But once you gain some length in your muscles we'll be able to add some weights and then move onto a men's bar.'</span></div>
The idea that you're not even using a "men's" bar causes disappointment to pierce you.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'What do you mean a "men's bar"?'</span> You ask, hopeful that you'd jumped to a conclusion.</div>
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'A men's Olympic bar is heavier than a women's bar. But if the women's bar is too heavy, we can move down to a stick to help you understand the movement without the weight holding you back.</span>' He replies bluntly.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh... No...'</span> It's not the answer you wanted to hear. <span style="color:#afeeee">'The women's bar is fine.'</span></div>
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Great! Back to it!'</span> He smiles warmly.</div>
Continuing the session, you finish up with the squats and move on to the machines. You find yourself much more comfortable with that. Coach explains it's because there's no need to concentrate on balancing. You target specific muscles, whereas free weights force you to be able to support the weight with surrounding muscles. When you finish the session and cool down, your mind aches with the new information almost as much as your body.
On your way back to the changing rooms, walking next to Coach, you're muscles burn. The sensation is almost pleasant as if each step stretches and relieves the muscles.
<div class="box coach"><span style="color:#1550c0">'Your first yoga session will be tomorrow morning. Check your calendar in a bit, I'll have it scheduled in now. You're going to want to wear your new kit.'</span> He says, stepping behind the front desk.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Sure thing! Thank you for today, Coach.'</span> You reply.</div>
<div class="box coach">Coach laughs. <span style="color:#1550c0">'The English are just as polite as everyone says. I like that!'</span></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You have dinner at the cafeteria before going home. Your body aches, and you get to slump on your bed. A shower is in order, but before that, you'd like to send a message to Adrian:

Anyways, I just wanted to update you and see how you're doing?! Missing you but I'm here and it's going great!

You press send on your quick message and are startled by an alert message popping up on your screen:
<div class="box cpu">"Emails outside the network need approval. Send request for approval?"</div>
Confused, you select "yes", making a mental note to ask Abigail about it when you see her next.
After a shower, you fall into bed, exhausted. You lie in the comfort of your bed and contemplate watching porn. The images from your work assignment flicker through your mind. Beautiful girls... Seductive lingerie... Cocks. You can't help it, your lust is all mixed up.
With everything that had watched, perhaps something fast paced... Something to allow yourself to expend all the lust you'd built up over the day...</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">The new map installed on your phone shows you the direction of the men's clothing store. You make your way to it, your head buried in the screen.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/masc store.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Nearing the store, you spot shutters covering the windows. Getting closer and peering through the window, shelves and racks are visible, though they are emptied of most of their clothing. You stand back, disappointed and thinking about what to do next. Across the street is a women's clothing store. You go to enter it and ask if a member of staff can help you.

<div class="box girl4">She looks at you with pity. <span style="color:#bc6a89">'We don't define clothes by men's and women's.

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thank you.'</span> You return her smile. 'I'll go and have a look around.' </div>
You spend half an hour walking around, trying to find any kind of underwear. By "raange of clothing", the sales assistant had meant t-shirts and jeans that could arguably be worn by any of the genders. The closest thing to boxers you saw was an item called boy shorts. Though they seemed acceptable, the only ones available were either fully laced or lace-trimmed. <<if $rest1 /= 1>>Halfway through your shopping experience, a notification pops up on your phone alerting you to the beginning of your gym session, hurrying you up.<</if>>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Nervously, you make your way to the gym, aware of how late you are. You approach an athletic girl in a tight-fitting tank top, sitting behind a desk, idly scrolling through her phone.

You sit on a leather couch near the entrance, the cold leather penetrating your suit's material, cooling the back of your thighs. The paperwork is all pretty basic: Name, age, authorising the gym to use your results from the medical to fill in safety checks and formulate a personalised fitness program.

<</if>>You figure your best move is to get some cardio done to prove your diligence. Entering the changing rooms, you're greeted with the slow murmur of conversation emanating from the large room separated by lockers. Down the section, you can see a menagerie of fit bodies stripping, glistening with sweat or changing into tight-fitting gym ware. Guys and girls casually get dressed next to each other.
Initially, you're shocked, though you steel yourself, trying to act as if you fit in, and this isn't your first time. You keep to yourself as you get changed, focusing on looking like you know what you're doing.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/gym 2b.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You select an exercise bike to workout on. The bike's resistance is far too hard for you, and you subtly turn it most of the way down. Despite making it easier for yourself, you spend half an hour struggling through your ride. You had intended to complete an hour, then you reduced it to forty-five minutes and half an hour as you couldn't do anymore.
Your legs and bum burn as you stumble home, cursing the hill to your condo.

Catching sight of her screen, you see a girl on all fours being fucked by a muscular black guy. He's wrapped her hair around his hand and is using it like a leash, pulling her head back. Her face is contorted into an expression of pure ecstasy.

You stop as she enters a building, looking up at the entrance. You'd been too wrapped up in the conversation to wonder where she had taken you. <<if $miagym /= 0>>Fortunately, it's the gym, exactly where you need to be.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'You're going to the gym too?'</span> You ask.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">'Yeah, I go most days as long as I'm not hung over!'</span> Mia giggles.</div>
Walking in, Mia points you to the reception before taking a seat on one of the comfortable-looking sofas.

<div class="box mia">Mia glances down at her phone, taking note of the time. <span style="color:#de5d83">'I don't think you'll have time to go. Coach was in the military. If you're not early, you're late. He says that a lot.'</span> </div>

<</if>>You sit back, contemplating your find, your mind, simultaneously rushing and sluggish. A rapid knock makes you jump out of your thoughts. Staying quiet, you hope they'll get the message and go away. No sooner had you wished that, the knock came again.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'O... Occupied!'</span> You call out.</div>
The knock is more rapid this time, reacting to the confirmation of your presence.
You unsteadily get to your feet and unlock the door. A cute-looking red-haired girl is standing looking at you with wide moistened eyes. Her undereyes were puffy, and the corners of them tinted red. She had been crying. The reaction you instantly feel is to comfort and care for her.

<div class="box you"><<if $takeit is 0>><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's em... Yeah, I think I might know what you're talking about.'</span> You nod awkwardly, turning to retrieve the item. A glint of relief brightens her eyes.

Regretting telling her you knew anything about it, your mind races to try and save you. You turn to check if she's looking at you and immediately regret it. She gives you a reassuring smile, making guilt burn inside you. An idea possibly occurs to you.<</if>></div>

Your breaths are long and deep as you imagine Annie impaling herself on the thick butt plug. The image is brought to life as she gasps and moans, and you occasionally hear a wet noise as you picture her asshole stretching to accommodate the girthy toy.
<div class="box annie">'It's no use.' She huffs before her tone turns fearful to herself. 'Mistress is going to punish me so bad! I thought if I got it in then at least she couldn't be rough with that. She might even forgive me just a little...'</div>
Your resolve breaks, and you turn your body slightly, giving you a view of her out of your peripheral vision. The movement catches her attention as she suddenly calls out with an idea.
<div class="box annie">'Could you help me!? I know this is short notice and we've just met, but I trust you. You have a kindness about you!' She talks quickly, having made up her mind. 'With an extra set of hands, I can stretch myself out and you can push it in. Please, Oh won't you help me, please?' She begged.</div>

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Oh, yeah. Right...'</span> You say as you turn to see her smiling warmly, holding the buttplug out towards you.</div>
After giving you the black toy, she walks over to the bench and wiggles her hips as she works down her gym shorts and panties, revealing her plump pale butt cheeks. She rests one knee on the bench and reaches her arms around to take a cheek in each hand and pulls them apart. You swallow repeatedly to save yourself from drooling, and your breath feels ragged.
<div class="box annie"><span style="color:#f2b3c5">'I just need you to push, okay!? And then, together we can get it in. I've already lubed it and myself with my spit.'</span> She says with complete innocence of the situation.</div>

You take half a step closer and line the large buttplug up with her tight little asshole, now seeing why Annie had had so much trouble with the task. The plug looked about two, maybe three inches, thick.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Okay then.'</span> You repeated, warning her as the toy made contact with her skin.</div>
She gasped, and her asshole seemed to retract for just a second before she relaxed and she gaped just slightly. Beginning the task of pushing the toy into her, her breath became shallow and irregular. You manage to make only a bit of progress before you have to start applying more pressure.

<div class="box annie"><span style="color:#f2b3c5">'Keep...go... Just a lil' more...'</span> She grunts.</div>
Her asshole seems to resist being stretched anymore, and you increase the pressure to try and get it in. All at once, the resistance gives out, and you slam the thick buttplug all the way into her. Saving herself from screaming, she slaps a hand across her mouth, and you hear the muffled cries, a mixture of pain and pleasure. You watch as she shudders, her body adapting to its new companion.

<div class="box mini-br-after">Your warm-up lasts about 15 minutes before Coach gets you off the bike, and onto a mat, where you mirror his stretches.

He doesn't seem too engaged with your responses, as if he's just running through the motions of conversations.
<div class="box coach">There's a pause as he considers what to do next. <span style="color:#1550c0">'For today, I don't want you to be doing weights. I want you to work on your base fitness.'</span> He leads you to a step-machine and instructs you to get on it while he sets it up.</div>
Coach explains the machine, pointing out the safety measures and tells you about how the steps can become steeper to increase the intensity of your workout. He leaves you, set up with an hour.
The workout begins gently and slowly builds until you're breathing hard and sweating. The course is set up to grow and then rapidly reduce, giving you a break each time you think you want to give up. The steps alternate between steepening and shallowing, causing your legs to burn.
When you finish with the workout and the gentle workout bringing your heart rate back down, Coach joins you and guides you through stretches. He seems to have relaxed, and his frustration about your kit dissipated. He makes genuine conversation, asking about the UK and chuckling about your use of words like chips, sweets and motorway.

Your exposure to all the images you'd seen throughout the day still flashes through your mind, adding to the barrage you're facing now. Your erection is already standing to attention, conditioned by your day's work.
Saving yourself from your sensory overload, you click a video and are greeted by a girl submissively on all fours, focused on a big cock. You watch as she sucks on his cock, taking it over and over into her mouth. Saliva and precum glisten of his shaft, as you watch her diligently bobbing her head.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/goon 1.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Your body quickly comes up to climax, but you control yourself. Not wanting the pleasure to end so soon, you choose another video, allowing yourself to calm down in the lull between the videos. You click to skip over the scene set-up and get straight to the good stuff. This time, a girl is held up as a man beneath her mercilessly rams his cock into her ass, stretching her asshole with each thrust. You watch as she looses her mind, overcome with the ecstasy of having his cock rammed into her. Her moans mix with the slaps of their skin and his balls smacking her pussy with each thrust.

Your erection is already standing to attention, conditioned by your day's work.
You click a thumbnail with a beautiful-looking girl, the perfect mix of breathtakingly sexy and innocent looking. The scene shows her seductively sucking on a man's finger, teasing her abilities. Her eyes are trained on the man's, showing him her full attention.

You're eager for the scene to play out, but it cuts to the same girl now on her knees with another man's dick in her mouth. She lovingly slurps on his cock, bobbing her head up and down, savouring the size of the man's cock in her mouth. You touch your aching penis, and instantly your body tenses with the pleasure washing over you.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/5.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
The clip abruptly changes, and now you're watching the girl sucking another guy's cock, fresh from her friend's ass. Your eyes go wide as the guy shifts over and pushes his cock into her asshole. She gasps as her tight hole is forced to stretch to accommodate the girth of his cock. The man pushes deeper into her until he's pressed against her plump ass. Not letting her acclimatise to the violation, he begins fucking her, each time her ass ripples with the force of his penetration. Watching the scene, you're desperately close to cumming, but you hold off for as long as you can.

You're torn between your desperation to finally cum and to indulge in the pleasure long enough to satisfy your horniness of the day.
The next video, you watch a black cock slamming furiously into a beautiful girl as she tries desperately to keep her composure. Your body burns with desire watching him use her as little more than a cock-sleeve, thrusting into her and pulling her body into him fast and hard. Her eyes roll and as she tires to talk dirty her words come out as unintelligible moans. Though she looks like a total mess, ragged from being used so roughly, you can't deny the adoration in her eyes.

Hey everyone, thank you for reading my little story!
I've take got a new job that doesn't really give me time to write properly. I had hoped to write this game full-time, but it didn't really work out. So, I'm now just writing as a hobby. If the game does happen to take off, I will gear my work to be able to work part-time on both. But until then, I've simply added my paypal link as means of a little pocket money (if you think the game is worth it (●'◡'●)

The first scene comes back on, and you mindlessly get back to masturbating. The girl is bent over and being fucked in the ass. She squeals with delight as her slutty hole is filled over and over. You cum. Every muscle in your body seems to simultaneously contract, and your dick feels amazing. The guy lifts one of the girl's legs, and your eye is drawn to a dick between her legs. It's too late for you to stop touching yourself; your climax has already begun. If you were to just stop, you fear that you'd cum anyway.

Your eyes are drawn to the doctor's breasts that are now a few inches from your face, unbearably close and yet frustratingly out of reach under her lab coat. Still, being this close was a mesmerizing view, rising and falling with her breathing as she meticulously analysed your scalp. They seemed to jiggle slightly with each of her movements, moving tantalisingly closer to your face.

Thankfully, between the shame and awkwardness, the traitorous erection had quickly subsided.<<if $pills is 1>> Still, the increased sensitivity of your nipples remained for a while, as they were rubbing against your shirt.<</if>>

<div class="box tanya"><span style="color:#856bd1">'Anyway, about today, I recommend avoiding physical efforts and a lenghty lunch... Oh, and no alcohol until eight in the evening.

At this point, she pauses, as if struggling with a decision. Finally, she spoke again: <span style="color:#856bd1">'I would say take the afternoon off. However, you are already feeling better and you have an office job where you can sit down and, if needed, take a break. So, it's your call: if you want to keep working, you have my permission, otherwise, if you don't feel like it, I'll let you take the afternoon off. I will send an email to Abigail either way, to let her know.'</span></div>
On your way out of the medical centre, you consider your options. You definitely felt better; the general weakness you'd felt all morning was a mere discomfort. On one hand, an afternoon off sounded very appealing, a break to recover from the jet lag <<if $panties is 1 or 0>>, perhaps you could use the time to go and find underwear<</if>>. On the other hand, you had a job to do, not to mention an opportunity to make a good impression.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><div class="box you"></div>After texting Zoey that you're not returning to work, you decide to get some sunlight and fresh air by walking around the campus.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 1.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
Walking past a park, you see a group of girls playing an intense volleyball game. You watch their ball control as each team passes between themselves before executing an attack. Most of the girls are wearing tight-fitting short shorts, clearly exposing the crease between their butt and thighs, and sports bras, squeezing their breasts out. A pair of girls perform an amazing set and spike, scattering their opponent's defence and bouncing the ball hard off the ground.
Their team celebrated, and as the two girls turned.<<if $takeit is 1 or 0>>You recognise the Spiker as Annie from the day before, and wonder if you should make yourself known.<<else>> One of the girls is cute, about your height, with red hair, petit features, and freckles lightly speckling her nose.<</if>> The woman next to her is taller, with tanned skin and dark features.<<if $zoelunch is 1>>It takes a minute for you to recall where you'd seen them before, but it dawns on you that they were the pair you'd seen making out on the bench on the way to Cafe Leo.<</if>> Her athletic build and defined visage look as though she were carved from stone. Her allure seemed to tread the line between alluring and intimidating. She reaches out and spanks <<if $takeit is 1 or 0>>Annie<<else>>the redhead<</if>>, her bubble butt rippling from the impact. She yelps and looks up at the dark-haired girl with wide-eyed lust. The dark-haired woman just smirked and got ready for the next point.

</center></div>
You can't help but fantasise about what you'd just seen, imagining the two women tangled together. Their bodies being caressed by the other. They gasp as they lose their minds to pleasure.
The brunette lady catches your eye as you stare, her dark eyes looking right into your mind. Feeling embarrassment over your thoughts, you turn to leave, as if she could tell what you were thinking. The look in her eyes, sticks with you. You couldn't tell if she was amused, angry or perhaps she just happened to look in your direction.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">When you return to the safety of your condo, the sense that you're going to collapse with exhaustion makes you sway and you can't help but think coming back was a bad idea. You fall on your bed, fighting with your body against its urge to fall asleep. To combat the sensation, you decide you need to do something and wearily get up, intending to try out the hot tub.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 2.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
After grabbing a towel and putting on a far too-baggy pair of swimming shorts, you stumble out into the cold air on your balcony. Setting the temperature of the hot tub, you sit for a few minutes watching the heat display rapidly increase. You tentatively dip yourself in the steaming water, instantly feeling the rejuvenating warmth seep into your body.
The city in the distance seems to glow in the warm sunlight, creating a tranquil scene and relaxing your mind. You shift your position and glance over the side so that you can view the balcony on the ground floor of the next building. What you see makes your eyes go wide, and after a moment you have to remind yourself to breathe.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 2.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A man is sitting on a deck chair with his dress gown draped open, exposing his naked body. A blonde girl in a French maid's outfit is knelt between his legs, bobbing her head up and down on his crotch. Your mouth goes wet as you watch the passion she puts into sucking the man's cock.
He's on his phone, not paying her any attention, idly scrolling and sipping on a hot drink on the table next to him. You can see her stockings carelessly discarded across the deck, and her panties are shifted to one side, exposing a large gemmed buttplug. The red gem sparkles in the sunlight as her perfectly round ass bounces up and down.</div>

<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'Thanks, $name.'</span></div>
Carrying the bag with the remaining meals to Nicki's desk, she hasn't returned, so you knock on Dr Jamerson's door where you hope to find both of them. The prospect of being in his presence spikes your anxiety, fearing his stern glare, and critical manner.<<if $willpower gte 6>> He should be expecting lunch, but you aren't sure if something came up and he was now too busy, so you think about what to do.

<div class="box jamerson"><span style="color:#90A4AE">'You can leave lunch there.'</span> He points to a side table.

<div class="box mini-br-after">The man sets his phone down and gives the girl the notice she craves. He takes her head and controls the rhythm, slowing her down, letting her savour the cock pushing down, pressing against her throat. Slowly he pushes her down, his cock bulging in her throat until her nose is pressed against his abs.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 4/rest 2.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>

She looks up at him, her eyes welling up as he looks down at her indifferently as he starts to slowly pump his hips, fucking her throat. Tears streak from her eyes, and he finally lets her up. She gasps for air and grins with a girlish enthusiasm. Not giving her much recovery time, he forces her back down more roughly than before.
You hear her gag, as his meat is rammed down his throat again, her eyes opening wide with the shock. With his dick still down her throat, he shifts and begins to thrust his hips, using her pretty mouth as his toy. Each time you see his shaft briefly emerge from her mouth, it shines with saliva.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 3.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
He releases her, and she comes up breathing hard, ignoring the tendril of glistening spitel still connecting her to his cock.
She unsteadily stands, having to steady herself on her black stilettos. You watch as she pulls on the plug in her ass. There's a pause as her asshole stretches, trying to let the thick buttplug out. With a pop, it suddenly frees itself, and she shudders with pleasure.
Without hesitation, she positions herself over his dick and guides it into a gaping asshole. The man grabs her wrists and uses them to pull her all the way down so that her smooth peach is squashed against his lap. She arches her back, her mouth agape in a silent scream. You can see the blush in her cheeks and the glazed look in her eyes as her mind is lost to the sensation of having her ass properly filled.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">Your chest feels tight as your arousal makes your breath short, watching the erotic scene below you. The maid starts audibly moaning when she starts bouncing up and down on the guy's lap. The slap of their skin connecting pierced the otherwise tranquil atmosphere.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 4/rest 4.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
She looks as if she's in blissful paradise, not tiring of her pace ramming the cock up her own ass. The guy smacks her round ass, causing her to squeal with delight. He continues his abuses of her tender butt, and she jolts each time, her unfocused eyes betraying her obvious delight.
You watch the two of them, the unyielding scene seeming to go on and on, with an impressive feat of stamina. He takes her by the wrist again, using them to pull her deeper onto his cock. He groans, and his body tenses and releases over and over as he cums deep inside her tight asshole. She stands and instantly falls onto her hands and knees, trembling with an orgasm of her own.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 4.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
He casually picks up the plug and forcefully rams it back into its rightful place. You hear her squeal once more, barely having time to recover from his cock being in her. The man leans back into his chair expectantly, and the girl instantly responds by crawling to him, taking his cock in her mouth, and cleaning him with renewed vigour.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/rest 5.webp" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
She licks the length of his cock with her tongue eagerly outstretched, removing any traces of cum. Gently, she takes his tip in her mouth, expertly swirling her tongue around, making sure to polish off any last drips.
Silently she stands, picking up her stockings, sexily bending at the waist, displaying the sparkling buttplug high in the air. The guy simply returned to his phone, taking another sip of his drink, unphased by the ordeal.
Grabbing your towel, you hastily scurry upstairs to relieve yourself. You strip off your shorts and jump onto your bed, opening your laptop. You spend a minite figuring out what kind of porn you want to watch, the scene you'd just witnessed repeating in your mind.</div>

You reach to your dick as she moans and you can't help but mirror her, releasing a moan of your own as sensation rushes through you.

Reaching up so the hem of her dress lifts tantalisingly, allowing you glimpses of more of her. Bending over, folding at the hips revealing her curvaceous thighs, panties, and you know, a thick buttplug as well. To your credit, you avoid staring the entire time, though she seems to test the limits of your restraint. Fortunately, she doesn't notice or even care that your perverted eyes are scanning her body.

You instinctively bow your head. As you exit through the door, you hear a strange coughing sound behind you. Instinctively, you turn your head and see one of the doctor's hands between his legs. Looking to the base of his desk, you spot the flashes of red sloes as someone beneath shuffles their high heels.

<div class="box mini-br-after">You do as he commands, and as you round the corner of his desk, you're greeted by the sight of Dr Jamerson wheeling back, Nicki following on her knees, led by his cock in her mouth. You freeze, and your body tightens arousal building.
<div class="box jamerson"><span style="color:#90A4AE">'I do not entirely subscribe to the notion that opposites attract. As, I've told you, beauty begets beauty. Equally, Power begets power. Passion begets passion. People tend to be attracted to those who are like minded.'</span></div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/office2 10.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
As he talks to you, Nicki begins to eagerly bob her head up and down on his cock, having to lift herself with her legs to be able to suck the entirety of the Doctors cock. She moans softly as the rod plunges down her throat, lost in a world of her own.
<div class="box jamerson"><span style="color:#90A4AE">'Don't you agree?'</span> Dr Jamerson asks, bringing your attention back to the moment.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Whats... Nicki doesn't have any power though?'</span> You ask, your eyes drifting back down.</div>
<div class="box jamerson">He doesn't immediately answer. With a firm hand, he pushes her down on his dick until her nose is pressed against his groin. He holds her down as he speaks. <span style="color:#90A4AE">'My power is obvious. But in ways, my beautiful assistant here possesses more power. She controls the pace. How much effort she puts in. She has the ultimate power of consent. At any time, she is able to say no and that will be the end of it. Do you understand?'</span> He asks before releasing her.</div>
Nicki takes a moment to recover before diving back into serving his cock.

<div class="box mini-br-after">Your heart skips a beat as you watch Nicki get up and see a full view of the beauty. Her blouse is open, and her bra is pulled down, her alluring breasts bouncing as she moves. Her mouth is wet, a trail of saliva dripping down her chin. You look past her with an indescribable mix of fear and anticipation as Jamerson finally stands up. His pants are down, and your gaze upon his massive cock, bigger than any that you've seen before. It's pointing straight at you and glistening with the result of Nicki's ministrations. Jamerson bends her face down over the desk. She complies and presents her ass to him while looking at you, her eyes brimming with wild excitement. You stand there, mesmerised, as he pulls up her skirt.
<div class="image-ls"><center><video src='media/chapter 4/office2 11.webm' autoplay loop muted style="max-width: 100%;"/>
</center></div>
He begins by running his massive cock, slick from her saliva, between her cheeks. Nicki moans loudly in anticipation, but you barely pay any attention to her, your eyes glued to Jamerson's massive instrument resting on her back.
<div class="box jamerson"><span style="color:#90A4AE">'See anything you like?'</span> Jamerson's voice pulls you out of your stupor. <span style="color:#90A4AE">'So, since you want me to teach, here is a question for you.'</span></div>
While he talks, you see Nicki squirming impatiently under him. He reacts by grabbing her shoulder and pinning her against the table to stop her movements.
<div class="box nicki"><span style="color:#b86bd1">'Please Sir, I can't-'</span> She pleads, her face distorted in a mask of sheer arousal.</div>

<span style="color:#90A4AE">'What power do you possess?'</span> He continues as he starts penetrating her. You watch in incredulity, as his massive erection gradually disappears inside her ass, her mouth forming an O-shape.</div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/office2 11.gif" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You look up at him, startled by the question, having to recall what he told you so that you can respond.
<div class="box jamerson">Sensing your hesitancy, he rephrases his question. 'Though sex is its purest form, I am not referring to sex. Do you think you have the power to lead or the power to follow?'</div></div>

Nicki pulls out of her ecstasy to give you an amused look, barely having time before she's devoured once again by the pleasure.
<div class="box jamerson">Jamerson chuckles at your reply. <span style="color:#90A4AE">'Really now?'</span> He questions. <span style="color:#90A4AE">'Look at her face.

Your fascination only deepens: whatever your embarrassment, you are too caught in your spiralling arousal to care.

Jamerson suddenly stops moving as Nicki writhes under him; a quick, intense orgasm shakes her whole body.
<div class="box nicki"><span style="color:#b86bd1">'Oh!... God! yes!!'</span> She screams as she rolls her eyes. Jamerson smirks once more at her reaction as he starts fucking her.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You are fascinated by the spectacle in front of you, so much so that you cannot take your eyes off them, and you stand silently, waiting for Jamerson to act. For a few seconds, an eerie silence falls upon the room as you and Nicki look at each other while holding your breaths.
<div class="box jamerson"><span style="color:#90A4AE">'There's no shame in being a follower. If that is what you've taken from my lesson, then I have failed you.</span> Dr Jamerson's deep voice tears through the quietness, making you focus again on him.

Dr Jamerson thrusts much quicker, and she tries to balance herself against the desk to withstand his assault. You are mesmerised by the intensity of both Jamerson's demeanour and Nicki's pleasure, your almost painful erection only partially smothered by your underwear. Nicki's body was rocked by a second orgasm, but Jamerson did not stop as he approached his own climax. With a grunt, he unloads inside her ass, then pulls out, breathing heavily, as Nicki's legs give out, and she uses her hands to slowly slide to the floor.
<div class="box jamerson">You are still watching Jamerson's impressive tool, now glistening with cum, when a finger snap brings you back to reality. <span style="color:#90A4AE">'This is where your lesson ends.'</span>Dr Jamerson says, in the same authoritarian tone <span style="color:#90A4AE">'Now, go back to work... and think about what you learned.'</span> He concluded with an impassive tone.</div>
You stop outside Nicki's desk to catch your breath and realise, to your utter dismay, that the experience left you painfully hard. You look down at your pitching tent as to angrily shame it into oblivion, and you cannot help by compare your modest size with Jamerson's... impressive monument to manhood. Would you be able to satisfy a woman like that? The question hangs in your mind as it is once again flooded with the images you recently reviewed. You shake them off, take a deep breath, and go back to work.</div>

After all that you've experienced, your mind is in a tangle. //What had you got yourself into this couldn't be normal.// Though you'd never been in a corporate job, perhaps this is normal and wasn't talked about in everyday life. It made sense for people to need to blow off steam, and however, they chose to do so wasn't for you.
Zoey left a little early and let you know you're free to leave at any time. So, you choose to follow shortly after. On your way home, you stopped at the cafeteria and quickly finished your meal, the entire day feeling like a blur.
At home, you collapse on your couch and turn on the TV, hoping to distract yourself from the day's events. Dr Reyamov sensually touching you, the guys from distribution, and your incredibly intimate talk with Dr Jamerson.
A text startles you out of your daze, it's from Zoey.

As your mind reels with the thoughts, you find yourself jolted awake.

The door opening downstairs makes you freeze. You're on the edge of orgasm and can't believe you have to think of anything else. Staying quiet, you intently listen out, hoping that you're just being paranoid. The distinct clicking sound of footsteps emanates from downstairs. Throwing your laptop to one side. You put on a dressing gown, trying to muster some courage to investigate.

I apologise for being away from the office for your first week. I have been meaning to catch up with you, to check how you are settling in.
I'd rather we didn't conduct this meeting in the office, instead we could take it to Umu. It is a Japanese restaurant on the top floor of the Rail building. It will be a wonderful excuse to experience the luxury available here on Delmarva's campus.
I will be carrying out a performance review, but there is no need to worry, it is merely to help you adapt to the expected standards. You will also be given the chance to ask any questions you may have.
We have a private room reserved for 7:30, please do not be late.

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">‘So, everyone gets a meeting? How was it?’ </span>You ask.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">‘Everyone gets one. Mine... was interesting… I was totally different back then- a lot more reserved and stuff. Dr Jamerson really brought me out of my shell!’</span> She smiles wryly, remembering something.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">‘Yeah, that’s something I’ve heard before. They keep saying that they are going to help me unlock my potential, whatever that means?’</span> You sigh.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">‘For me. I grew up in a very religious family, my parents were very strict and I was soooooo repressed… I think a thing that I learnt was how to express myself sexually. Growing up sex was such a //sinful// thing!’</span> She giggles. <span style="color:#de5d83">‘I discovered I actually love sex, like fucking love it! And it helps that I’m good at it! I was able to explore every part of myself… and not just sexually! and it all started with Dr Jamerson.’</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">‘Oh? and what do you enjoy?’</span> You ask teasingly, not expecting her to answer.</div>
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">‘Black cock.’</span> She answers so quickly that your breath catches in your chest before she continues. <span style="color:#de5d83">‘Multiple cocks, being bound, being spanked and I kinda like being degraded.. in the bedroom at least… I guess I like trying things and I’ve found I like most of them.’</span></div>

When she concludes you’re not sure how to respond, your mind is reeling from everything she just revealed. Mia had just told you all about her kinks and you can’t stop yourself from imagining it all. You’re not sure where that leaves you. Do you even like Mia like that? From what you’ve seen black cocks are big and you sure don’t measure up to any of them. Even if you don’t like Mia, you feel like you’ve been rejected before you’ve even had the chance to decide…
<div class="box mia"><span style="color:#de5d83">‘$name?’</span> Mia's soft voice breaks through the thoughts clouding your mind. <span style="color:#de5d83">‘I didn’t scare you did I? Was that too much information?’</span> She looks ashamed of herself.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">‘No, no!... It was fine. I guess I just didn’t expect it…’</span></div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#de5d83">‘Didn’t expect what?’</span> Her voice shifts with a hint of coldness.</div></div>

Don't get me wrong, it's amazing in there and we should definitely go some time, but I can't even afford to go to Umu! You have to tell me all about it!'</span></div>
<div class="box you">You're a little taken aback, by her response. <span style="color:#afeeee">'That's not quite what I was talking about it. I more meant, the meeting with Ms Winters. I'm so nervous, and I keep thinking about anything I've done wrong!'</span></div>
<div class="box zoey">She laughed. <span style="color:#e50666">'That's really nothing to worry about. It's just an initial check up, its way more about how you feel you're settling in than about criticising you. Plus from I've seen, you're been doing great so far.'</span></div>
<div class="box you">You smile, taking in Zoey's compliment. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Thanks, Zoey. I guess I needed to hear that.'</span></div>

You finish work a bit earlier than usual so you have time to go home and change. As you walk back, there is tension in every step you take, and you cannot help but feel dread. The encounter with Jamerson was... uncomfortable and, given how cold Ms Winters was during the interview, you can expect a similar level of intensity. You feel your social anxiety kicking in and, as you enter your apartment, you take a deep breath, push it to the back of your mind, and focus. //You have no time to panic//, you tell yourself,// but you still have time to make a better impression//. You recall Zoey's advice to dress for the occasion and you rush to the bathroom to have a quick shower while you think about what to wear. As the water washes over you, a sense of calm fills your mind as your fight-or-flight instinct kicks in and you go through the motions of preparing as best you can.</div>

She storms off, leaving you in shock. You hadn’t meant it to be offensive, but she definitely took it that way. After finishing your lunch in silence, you make your way back to the office to work.

<div class="box mini-br-after">Your dinner with Ms Winters feels as though it comes around far too quickly and yet you agonise over every minute before it. Putting on your best-looking suit and tidying up the best you can, you make your way to the Rail building, one of 9 high-rise buildings on campus. Entering it, Umu is clearly labelled as being on the top floor. The lift ride up feels excruciating, the monitor indicating the current floor ascends at a painfully slow pace.
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/umu.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
A soft ding opens the doors to an extravagantly decorated lobby of the restaurant. Royal reds and obsidian blacks are highlighted with tasteful gold accents. A beautiful Asian-looking hostess approaches you, not smiling, though not unkind looking either. Her bright red lipstick and black dress seem to make her as much a part of the decor as anything else.
<div class="box girl4"><span style="color:#bc6a89">'May I help you?'</span> She asks, her voice direct and yet soothing.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I'm $name, I'm here to see Ms Winters.' </span>You respond.</div>
<div class="box girl4"><span style="color:#bc6a89">'Yes of course. Ms Winters is currently having a drink on the balcony. Would you like to join her?'</span> She answers quickly, her tone flowing like a stream.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes... Please.'</span></div></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You follow the hostess to a balcony overlooking the Campus and the city in the distance. It's already quite dark and the air has turned cool, though a series of heat lamps and open fires keep the temperature pleasant.
The hostess leads you to Ms Winters, who's seductively leant on the railing, taking in the view and sipping a clear-looking cocktail.
<div class="box girl4"><span style="color:#bc6a89">'Ms Winters, you guest has arrived.'</span> The hostess announces you before turning to leave.</div>
Ms Winters doesn't immediately respond, instead, she slowly rises, letting her gaze linger on the view for a moment more.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'$name, I'm so glad that you're here. How do you like Umu thus far?'</span> Her speech, like her movements, is slow and seductive.</div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It's beautiful!' </span>You answer, captivated by the spell of her beauty.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#afeeee">'I'm very pleased you like it. I have to admit that, on this venture, I am using you. It's not often that I get the oppurtunity to come here, and your review seem like the perfect chance, wouldn't you agree?'</span> She continues, a little smile playing across her lips.</div>
<div class="box you">You laugh, thankful for the light tone so far. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Absolutely! I was talking to <<if $mialunch is 1>>Mia<<else>>Zoey<</if>> and they were jealous of me getting to come here! I had to promise to tell her all about it.'</span></div>
<<if $mialunch is 1>><div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'I didn't realise you'd got so close with Mia. She's an asset to Noir Institution, in more ways than you could imagine. A little airheaded at times, but that's part of her charm. I know a lot of men and women that find that trait, simply irresistible.' </span>She smirks.</div>
You try to block your mind from Mia's irresistible nature to you. It would do no good to be thinking of anything sexual at the moment.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Mia's my closest friend here. Which I'm thankful for. I had ideas about coming here and feeling completely out of place.'</span> You say, truthfully. <<if $judgemia is 1>> Though you think back to your last conversation with her and wonder if the statement is still true.<</if>></div>

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'Oh, yes! Our Zoey is somewhat of a minor celebrity. At least, in certain circles. You should ask her about it. Though don't tell her I let you know, I'm sure she would get all bashful knowing it came from me.'</span> Ms Winters smiles.</div>

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'Why would she? She's not one to brag or need an ego inflation. Hence, why I'm telling you about it. I'm glad you're getting along with Zoey, she's often too wrapped up in her work to maintain relationships outside of work.'</span></div>

//Finally//, you thought, over and over again. Finally, you were in a place that valued and cared about you as an individual. You took a long swig of your cocktail, letting the alcohol and time compose you.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Thank you, Ms Winters. I really do appreciate everything that you've done for me so far.' </span>You say. And, despite your attempts your voice cracks just slightly.</div>

This is almost too much for you and you're forced to take another long drink, letting the moment pass.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'I found myself here under similar circumstances. I was in a job where I was under appreciated and over looked. I suspect because I was a woman.

This Abigail was nothing like the strict lady that had initially interviewed you, and at the same time, you could plainly see why she had to adopt such a demeanour.

As you say those words, you notice a shift in Abigail's demeanour, from merely attentive to positively intrigued.

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Well'</span> You stammer, thinking of a possible answer <span style="color:#afeeee">'It was a gift, actually, from my best friend.<<if $telladrian is 0 or $chastity is 1>> His girlfriend knew this stylist in London, Alana, and, as a favour, she agreed to do these suits. <<else>> He... set me up with this stylist in London named Alana.<</if>> She was very helpful and encouraged me to wear them as they would fit me the best.' </span> You conclude, remembering her words. </div>

<<elseif $clothes is 0>><span style="color:#ac2676">'I have to say, after what Jamerson told me I was expecting a different outfit on you. This really suits you, did you get it from the store on campus?'</span> Abigail asks as she looks at you.
You immediately light up, the joyful vindication more than making up for the lurking discomfort. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes, well, I...'</span> You stammer, briefly at a loss for words. You take a deep breath, take a sip of your drink to centre yourself, and then continue. <span style="color:#afeeee">'After everything that happened with Jamerson, I... I wanted to show that I'm committed... and that I don't have an issue with clothing.'</span> You finally manage to conclude.
Abigail gives you a comforting and understanding smile. <span style="color:#ac2676">'This is indeed appreciated and a nice surprise. I know that Jamerson and Nicki can be... intense.'</span> She pauses to emphasize the point. <span style="color:#ac2676">'You stood firm against both, which is... Well, a bold move.'</span> Again she smiles, reassuring you.
<<if $willpower gte 4>>You catch a glint of satisfaction in her eyes. She seems to like that someone stood up to Jamerson.
<</if>><span style="color:#ac2676">'But let me get back to the issue that prompted this... confrontation. These are not... masculine clothes, not in a traditional sense at least. Would you say you are comfortable wearing them?'</span>

Nicki is not particularly... inspired when it comes to fashion but this is enough for the time being, for me as well'</span> She says with a reassuring smile. <span style="color:#ac2676">'I Imaged you are not used to this. <<if $winter is 1>> When we met the suit you wore was more expensive and yet did not seem to fit you very well. <<else>> Zoey told me you wore an expensive suit to work, and yet it did not seem to fit you very well. <</if>> I assume this is what got Jamerson's attention, correct?'</span> You nod.
<span style="color:#ac2676">'I wonder. You were not wearing that suit during our interview, is there a story behind this change?'</span> She raises her gaze as she asks the question to look you in the eyes.
<span style="color:#afeeee">'W-well'</span> You stammer as you try to think <span style="color:#afeeee">'The suit was a gift from my best friend. <<if $telladrian is 0 or $chastity is 1>> His girlfriend knew this stylist in London, Alana, and, as a favour, she agreed to get me a suit. <<else>> He... set me up with this stylist in London named Alana.<</if>> It did not fit very well because she did not have time to make one.'</span> You conclude, recalling the awkward meeting with Alana.
You finish off your drink and barely have enough time to place it down before the glass is taken away and relaced by another.
<span style="color:#ac2676">'Ah, I see. It's odd for a stylist, especially given London's reputation for high fashion, to settle for an ill-fitting suit. Did this Alana comment on it?'</span> Abigail asks with a curious smile.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after"><<if $clothes is 1>> You think about it for a moment, while you look at your suit. There is still something in the back of your mind that finds it odd, but you got used to wearing it these past few days. You have to admit that Alana was right: not only everyone agrees that it looks good on you but it is also quite comfortable.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It does feel odd.'</span> You start, unsure <span style="color:#afeeee">'But it's also not as bad as I expected. I got used to wearing these suits in the past few days and... I can wear them, no issue.'</span> You state, resolutely. </div>
<div class="box abigail">Abigail smiles back at you at your words<span style="color:#ac2676">'I think it's good for you to explore new things, and the fact that they fit you so well is a bonus.'</span> she laughs as she takes a sip from her glass. <span style="color:#ac2676">'To be honest, I don't really get the strict dichotomy between men's and women's clothing. I mean, it makes sense to have gender distinctions like this, but in our society it becomes something of an obsession to fit every single item of clothing into one of these two categories, and I don't think it's needed, frankly. If you're comfortable and you look good, I don't see why a label should get in the way of that.'</span> She speaks plainly and clearly, but there is a note of sincerity in her voice, you really don't doubt that she really means it. </div>
<div class="box afeeee"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Well, Alana, the stylist, seemed to think the same.'</span> You say, remembering her words <span style="color:#afeeee">'She also insisted that I get a new haircut.'</span> You add after a small hesitation. </div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'She has good taste, and your haircut is very good too.'</span> Abigail replies. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Well, to new experiences'</span> she says, raising her glass with an elegant gesture.</div>
<<else>> You hesitate for a moment but ultimately decide that there is no point in hiding anything, especially because in the end you are still wearing more feminine clothing. So you tell her the story, of how Alana gave you a more feminine suit, that you felt uncomfortable in it and went against her wishes, insisting on a more traditional suit.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'She was not happy about it, but in the end she added a few things and helped me anyway. I... kind of feel bad about the whole thing, essentially it was all for nothing.'</span> You conclude, unable to hide a tinge of shame in your voice.</div>
Abigail listened to your story, her attention focused on you, occasionally nodding and sipping her drink.
<div class="box abigail">Finally, she replies. <span style="color:#ac2676">'I... I don't think you have to feel shame for this, she put you on the spot and you were not ready. I am not sure if anyone is to blame for this, especially given the limited time frame she was given.'</span> She starts with a comforting smile. <span style="color:#ac2676">'It's natural to have these doubts. Personally, I think our society focuses too much on gendered clothing. Do not get me wrong, it's good to have distinctions, but at the same time there is no need to label every single item to make them fit into one of these two categories. I mean, these clothes fit you nicely. And, correct me if I'm wrong, you do not seem particularly uncomfortable right now.'</span> There is a note of sincerity in her voice, you have no doubt she means every word. </div>
<div class="box you">You give a brief look at your new clothes before replying. <span style="color:#afeeee">'It does feel odd.'</span> You say, weighing every word. <span style="color:#afeeee">'But no, I don't think I'm uncomfortable... At least not here... And... I think I can wear these to work'</span> You add with a weak smile. </div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'That's all good.'</span> Abigail says, satisfied at the quick resolution. <span style="color:#ac2676">'I understand this is not easy, and I applaud your committment. Ultimately, you should see this not as an obligation but as an opportunity to try new things. And, for the record, you do look good.'</span> She adds with a playful smile.

<div class="box you">You take a deep breath and look at Abigail. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Look, I... Well, we lived together for years, Adrian and I. He is more...

Then... I couldn't keep quiet. I could see she was hurting Adrian with her behaviour and she did not even seem to care about him. So I told him everything.

<span style="color:#afeeee">'Then she... well, she and Adrian got me that appointment with Alana, the stylist, which was nice. But it did not last. When I came home from the stylist, I found her on Adrian's bed having sex with one of the movers'.</span> Abigail's eyes widen slightly at the revelation. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Yeah. I... confronted her about it and she was not even fazed. Like, she had been with Adrian for years, and she was not even sorry. I... felt that she was hurting him, so that evening I told Adrian everything'.</span> You pause, your anger quickly subsiding as you recall that last conversation. <span style="color:#afeeee">'He took it very badly. They argued and the nigth ended poorly, with her leaving and him telling me he wanted to be alone. I...

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#afeeee">'She already accused me of doing so in the past, <<if $interview is 2>>and I've never peeked on her before. <<elseif $admit is 0 or 1>>and I briefly saw her with Adrian but did not... stay to watch...<<else>>and... well, I already did it once before when she was with Adrian...<</if>> This time though I... had no excuse.

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'Oh?'</span> Abigail says, and immediately adds <span style="color:#ac2676">'Sorry, please continue.'</span></div>
<div class="box afeeee">Again, you notice she looks quite fascinated with your tale. <span style="color:#afeeee">'So she took out a plastic... cage for... a penis...'</span></div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'Wait, she put you in a chastity cage? Sorry, sorry I keep interrupting.'</span> Abigail speaks quickly and apologises just as fast. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Well, basically yes. She said for one night only.</span> As you talk you realise it was odd for Sophie to have such a specific device at the ready. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I was not... enthusiastic... at the idea but... I know what I did was wrong and... well it was just one night, the... punishment seemed... fitting.'</span> You start looking around the room, desperate for a corner or a hole to bury yourself in shame, but Abigail comes to your rescue. </div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'This is a much more interesting story than I thought, thank you again for telling me. I have to say, for someone who did not think much of you, she chose quite the intimate... punishment.'</span> She speaks with a kind, gentle tone, but her eyes are still eager to hear more. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'It-it was.'</span> You say, recalling the rather intense sensation of her hands putting the device on you. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Anyway, I did not tell on her and she did not mention anything to Adrian, so... I did a few chores for her, had a good evening and said my goodbyes to both. The morning after I put the key in the... tiny lock and it did not open.'</span> </div>
<div class="box abigail">You take a sip, when Abigail interrupts you again. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Wait, she gave you the key?'</span> She asks for clarification. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes, she put it in an envelope, but when I tried it the morning after it I realized it was not the right key. I... panicked, ran downstairs and found her waiting. She... It was weird... She seemed surprised I had just found out about it and... gave me the key without question... and was... almost nice? She then said goodbye and told me to keep in touch.'</span> </div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'So...'</span> Abigail starts talking while still putting together the story in her head. <span style="color:#ac2676">'You had the cage on all night but only tried to unlock it in the morning?'</span> </div>
<div class="box you">You nod. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Yes, that was the agreement with Sophie.'</span> You explain, still unsure about that strange morning. </div>
<div class="box abigail">Abigail seems to understand something. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Well, I think she was not expecting to keep your word. She pulled the switch with the key, which is kind of devious and was surprised it was not needed. By the way, I think you made the right call in accepting the punishment. Yes, you should not have peeped on her, but in the end it worked out, so she will probably forgive you in the future.'</span>. She pauses for a moment, looking you in the eyes with an unusually intense gaze <span style="color:#ac2676">'Your story shows... a strong level of... committment, yes, let's put it like that. I am impressed.'</span> She says, maintaining that intense look. Is she flirting? You think as you smile back and thank her once more.</div></div>

You followed suit before scurrying to catch up.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'Umu, along with many of the higher establishments here offer private rooms, we'll be able to conduct our talk in an environment that allows us any intimacy we desire.'</span> She informs you, leading you to a set of double doors. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Not even the wait staff will bother us without us requesting them to do so.'</span></div>
<div class="image-ls"><center><img src="media/locations/umu room.jpg" style="width: 595px;"></center></div>
You enter a room with its own private balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows covering two of the walls. A long marble table spans the length of the room with enough chairs around it to seat twenty.
Abigail gestures for you to take a seat and proceeds to sit at the table in front of you. She crosses her legs over one another, showing off their shapely form beneath the silken material of her dress. Resting a tablet on her legs, she signs in while leaning back on her other hand. Two drinks are already waiting, the same ones you were drinking on the balcony, and you take a sip of yours while you wait for Abigail to begin your meeting.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'I would really appreciate an honest conversation this evening, from the both of us. I would like to gather all of your thoughts and for you to hear mind, if we accomplish that, perhaps we can devise some sort of… reward?’</span> She flashes a bright smile. <span style="color:#ac2676">‘Now then, If you're comfortable then we'll begin.

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Um... No, not really, sorry Miss, oh... Abigail.' </span>You correct yourself.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'No matter. Noir Institution began as a research branch funded by the University.

Have you heard the saying, that if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb, then it will go it's whole life believing it is stupid?'</span></div>
You shake your head.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'In this context, I mean it to say that everyone has something that they can be great at, whether it's cleaning bathrooms or running a top-tier law firm.

Abigail takes a few notes on her pad. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Let's eat.’</span> She says while pouring a generous serving of soy sauce into a side bowl.
<<if $mia is 1>><span style="color:#ac2676">'I think I spotted you from afar on your first day. You were hanging out with Mia, if I'm not mistaken. Do the two of you get along?'</span> She asks casually. </div>

<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'This is absolutely delicious!'</span> You say as it melts in your mouth. Abigail smiles as you continue. <span style="color:#afeeee">'When I arrived she was very welcoming, and... well I did not want to go to sleep because of the jet lag.

<div class="box you">You pause, the alcohol in your system, makes the request seem less ridiculous. <<if panties is 3>><span style="color:#afeeee">’I’m not wearing the ones she gave me. I bought new ones because the others were too… skimpy.’</span></div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘Oh?’</span> Abigail muses as she places a finger beneath the top of the slit of her dress. <span style="color:#ac2676">‘I assume you bought yourself something a little more conservative? Did she give you something like these?’</span> As she speaks she drags the slit up her thigh, revealing just a sliver of her thin lacey panties.</div>
You stare in shock unable to think straight at the sight of her smooth thigh leading up to a small section of Abigail's panties. You simply nod in response, words eluding you and Abigail lets her dress drop.<<else>></div><</if>>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘A sliver, it’ll help me decide if her “punishment” was fitting of what you did.

You swallow, though you find yourself getting to your feet. Obeying mechanically, you unbuckle your belt and undo your trousers. You hesitate for a moment as your brain attempts to think rationally. Your thumbs slide into the hem of your trousers and you shuffle them down, working them around your hips, revealing a large section of your panties.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'I see. Again, I am aware this is not easy. But let me ask two questions: first, do you find female underwear truly uncomfortable? Second, do you think you deserved punishment?'</span></div>

<div class="box abigail">Abigail thinks about your words for a moment. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Well, I am guessing that the... close living situation is partly to blame for this.'</span> </div>
You nod.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">'You think she exaggerated, and... fair enough. But she was the one who felt violated in the first place. Do you really believe you don't deserve it, especially given that you... seem accepting of it?'</span> You don't reply immediately, as she kind of got you there. So you linger for a moment in awkward silence, before she speaks again. <span style="color:#ac2676">'Whether you deserve it or not, I think you should keep wearing them. They complement your outfit nicely and... you know, new experiences can help us learn things about ourselves. Things that we often need an outside source to help us see.'</span> </div>

Did she give you something like these?’</span> As she speaks she drags the slit up her thigh, revealing just a sliver of her thin lacey panties.</div>
You stare in shock unable to think straight at the sight of her smooth thigh leading up to a small section of Abigail's panties. You simply nod in response, words eluding you and Abigail lets her dress drop.

You draw in closer, maintaining eye contact with her, searching her body language for any more information. The intoxicating smell grasps you, honey and berries making you feel as if the world had slowed. You stick your tongue out and Abigail gives you a small nod, her blue eyes gleaming excitedly. As you make contact you’re overwhelmed with the sweet nectar, you do as she commanded, licking from the bottom to the very top savouring every moment. Without thinking you do it again, wanting more.

Using a firm hand, Abigail pushes your chest down until you’re lying flat, your legs dangling over the edge. She brings herself up, kneeling on the table beside you, her hand still resting on your chest. Two of Abigail’s fingers rest on either side of your dick, creating pressure between the material and your stomach. She rubs up and down, focusing on the tip before she squeezes her fingers together, the pleasure making you curl your toes.

She does as you ask, gripping slightly harder and moving slightly faster. Though not much, you're so sensitive that the incremental increase sends you into a new world of pleasure. Abigail lifts a leg over you and brings her wet pussy down onto your tongue. You need no command before you start lapping at her once again, your face buried between her ass and thighs. She moans and rewards you by rubbing your dick faster.

<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘I want… you to cum, with me, $name!’</span> She moans getting close.</div>
She sits her pussy down onto your face, your nose pushing against the tight bud of her asshole.

You do as she says, rubbing yourself in time with your passes over her clit. It’s different from how you usually jerk yourself to porn, fast and hard until you can’t take it anymore. Instead, following Abigail’s instructions, you feel every jolt of pleasure, letting your arousal take control. Abigail's moans fill you with a desire and pride that you are the one to cause the primal sounds, as she draws her nails through your hair.
It doesn’t take long for you to get carried away and start stroking yourself faster and firmly, your tongue following suit as you lick harder, unable to get enough of Abigail’s sweet juices. Using your hair again, she pulls you back. Your tongue instinctively reaches out, wanting more of her intoxicating taste.

<div class="box mini-br-after"><<if $clothes is 1>> You recall Alana putting in a more elegant suit in the selection she sent overseas, a suit made of a rich blue material that seemed to shift in colour as it moves, showing off its deeper blues.
<div class="image-pt"><center><img src="media/chapter 4/dinner prep 2.jpg" style="width: 495px;"></center></div>
You put it on and look at yourself in the mirror. While you have got used to wearing Alana's clothes, the mental image of yourself has yet to catch up with how feminine the outfits make you look, and you still feel a bit odd seeing that weirdly attractive figure staring back at you. Still, she was undeniably right, it does look good on you. <<if $chastity is 1 or $telladrian is 0>>You begrudgingly make a mental note to thank Sophie, after all, she was the one who got you the appointment. <</if>>You adjust it and notice it moves around a bit. It still fits nicely, though less perfectly than when you tried it on with Alana. You frown: since Alana took your measurements and tailored the suits to you, it should fit perfectly. However, as you think about it it makes sense: this is probably an effect of your new diet these last few days, combined with the physical exercises <<if $coachlie is 0 and $gymkit is 1>> and yoga classes<</if>>. You cannot help but smile at seeing the changes, and that fills you with enough confidence for the upcoming meeting.
<<else>> As you get out of the shower, the doorbell rings: cursing through your teeth, you quickly put on a robe, you really don't need this right now. As you go to the door, you look through the peephole and nobody is there. Carefully, you open the door and make sure the corridor is empty. No one is there, but there is a large bag on the ground with a note. As you read the note, you realise that these are the clothes from the tailor, sent by Nicki and Dr Jamerson, so you drag the bag in. You are not terribly excited to wear them, but it's a good idea to lay them out and look at them. As you do it, you realise that they look pretty good and that wearing one this evening would probably be a good way to make an impression on Ms Winters. You take the most elegant of the bunch [DESCRIPTION THAT MATCHES THE IMAGE] and put it on. You deliberately avoid looking in the mirror as you shamefully dress up, remembering your encounter with Nicki, then you take a deep breath and examine yourself.
You feel the same sense of discomfort you felt with Alana, and you immediately take it off, reaching for the traditional masculine suit that Alana prepared for you. It feels more appropriate... but... your eyes start darting back and forth, acknowledging the slightly longer sleeves, the ill-fitted shoulders, and the way-too-large waist that, //yup//, definitely needs a belt. Then you see your own image staring back at you, almost accusingly. You stare back at the suit, innocently lying on the bed as you begrudgingly realize what you have to do.
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Fuck.'</span> You curse as you try to delay the inevitable. <span style="color:#afeeee">'All right, you win. Don't look so smug about it.'</span> You scold the suit, voicing your frustration. As you put it on a second time, you try to ignore that discomfort and look in the mirror once again. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I can do this. Come on, it's just a suit. Pull it together.'</span> </div>
<<if $pills is 1>>Again, you are struck by how the material seems to fit your hips and... weirdly attractive you look. <<else>>You’re a little conscious of material bunching slightly around your ankles, it almost seems puffy around your hips.<</if>> You can't help but feel a pang of regret at not accepting Alana's clothes, her suit looked better than what you are wearing right now. Still, no use in crying over spilt milk. You shake off that feeling and give one last look at your reflection: yes, you look good and wearing this at the meeting will show your commitment. It's the best choice, you reiterate, almost trying to persuade yourself, as you go out with a confident smile. <</if>></div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You sit on the bed naked and ponder what to do. Jamerson wanted you to go to the tailor for a well-fitting dress, something you really don't want to do. You sit up, nervously look in the mirror and you picture yourself with the suit you wore at work, as you put it on this morning.
In these past few days you have started to pay attention to the slightly longer sleeves, the ill-fitted shoulders, the too-large waist that you have to constantly adjust through out the day.
Yeah, there is no way you make a strong first impression in those, you think as your reflection cracks an ironic smile. You think back to what Alana told you and consider the situation: Jamerson is already angry at you for standing your ground, and now you have a chance to impress your new boss. You stand up again, looking at your slender legs and weirdly attractive ass: you always hated how... unmanly... your body looked, and how people like Damion made fun of it. However, as you recall your unhappy days at the supermarket, you also think back at what <<if $zoeylunch is 1>>Zoey<<elseif $mialunch is 1>>Mia<<else>>Jamerson<</if>> said about you and how, in general, people seem to react to you. Maybe these people here at Delvarma could accept your body for what it is? Well... at least it's worth a shot. You straighten your posture and start dressing up with renewed resolve: if you look at it this way, maybe it's not so bad.

The tailor, an older gentleman in his 70s, has been expecting you and listens attentively to your request. As you specify that you need something for this evening, he frowns and nods.
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">Very well, please disrobe and let me take a few measurements. Jamerson has already mentioned what he is expecting, I don't have anything properly tailored since time is short, but we'll see if we can come... close enough.'</span> He adjusts his glasses as he takes your measurements, moving around you and writing down notes in a swift, experienced manner that immediately puts you at ease. </div>
<<if $willpower gte4>> His professional, detached attitude makes you think back to the unease you felt with Nicki... and Dr Jamerson. You can't quite put your finger on it, but it did rub you the wrong way.
<</if>><div class="box damion">As he concludes that quick examination, he stops for a moment. <span style="color:#c13729">'It's no issue, let me see what I can find. '</span> He disappears and comes back shortly after, carrying a suit made of a rich blue material that seemed to shift in colour as it moves, showing off its deeper blues. </div>

Mindful of your previous experience with Alana, you don't want to argue, and immediately put it on. That feeling of discomfort hits you again as you see yourself in the mirror. Strangely though, this time you manage to push it to the back of your mind: perhaps because it was expected, perhaps because you know you need it, but mostly because... it's your decision. It was not a strong suggestion, or Jamerson's imposing attitude, you did this. And yes, as much as there is a part of you that is still screaming with discomfort, you do look much better and maybe now you stand a chance to make a good impression on Ms Winters. The tailor stayed quiet behind you, letting you judge for yourself.
<div class="box you">As you look at him through the mirror he smiles and gives you a questioning look. <span style="color:#afeeee">'I think it's... Well, do you think it's good enough?'</span> You ask him, nervously raising the pitch of your voice. </div>
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'I believe so.'</span> He replies, very matter-of-factly. <span style="color:#c13729">'It's the best I can do in such short notice. I think it looks much better on you than the clothes you came in with, it just fits you better, don't you think? The blue also displays you, in such a way that I would say you are wearing the suit rather than the suit wearing you.'</span> You blush and lower your gaze, but you also cannot help but smile at his comment. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Y-yes, I think so too.'</span> You manage to say. <span style="color:#afeeee">'Thank you.'</span> </div>
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'You are welcome, $name $lastname. Per Dr Jamerson's instructions, I will send you a couple extra clothes for your job. Once you get them, please return this one so that I can make adjustments to it.'</span> Again, he speaks in a kind, detached manner that puts you at ease, even when he is mentioning Jamerson. </div>
<div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">'Understood. I will be back as soon as I get them.'</span> You reply. </div>
<div class="box damion"><span style="color:#c13729">'Good. Enjoy your evening.'</span> He adds with a short bow. </div>
You walk out of the store in your new clothes standing tall, trying to suppress your nervousness but, at the same time, feeling a bit more confident you made the right choice. Since you don't want to be late, you hurry home to drop off your clothes, then make your way to the restaurant.</div>

<div class="box you">You take a few seconds to recover from your mind-blowing experience before you get up and respond. <span style="color:#afeeee">‘Yeah… yeah, okay.’</span> You say, a wave of fatigue overcoming you.</div>
As you begin to do up your trousers, you notice the sensation of your cum, wet against your pubic region. Your <<if $panties is 2>>boxers<<else>>panties<</if>> are getting slick with the fluid. You spend a few seconds looking down at yourself, but you seem to have been spared from any dark patches appearing.
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘Everything okay?’ </span>Abigail asks, watching you from where she had sat typing on her tablet.</div>
<div class="box you">You look up at her panicked. <span style="color:#afeeee">‘Yes! Fine!’</span> You blurt out, your cheeks heating once again.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘You would need to have cum a lot more for any of it to show up.’ </span>She remarks going back to her work.</div>
Your body freezes up and you want the world to swallow you up. Abigail doesn’t seem to notice your turmoil and continues typing. Mustering your resolve, you finish tidying yourself up before turning to leave.
<</if>><div class="box you"><span style="color:#afeeee">‘Thank you for the meeting…’ </span>You trail off wanting to say more but unable to find the words.</div>
<div class="box abigail"><span style="color:#ac2676">‘And thank you for your time. I’ll see you in the office, I should be in for the next week of so.’</span> Abigail replies formally.</div>
Sensing no more conversation, you exit through the large double doors, leading into the main dining area. You feel every eye is on you as if they all know what has just transpired. Surely your flushed face and coming out alone would be enough evidence for anyone to work it out. On your way to the elevator, the hostess smiles and gives you a short bow. Burning with embarrassment, you quicken your step rushing for the elevator’s safety.
On your walk home through the cool night air, you can’t help but think that Abigail was a bit cold at the end of your meeting. Perhaps if you had been more <<if $ablie is 1 or 2>>honest<<else>>open<</if>> rather than skirt or dodge her questions, she would... ah, it doesn't matter.
When you finally get home, you strip off your clothes and quickly find yourself in bed. The alcohol and your sexual encounter add to your tiredness and soon you are fast asleep.</div>

<div class="box mini-br-after">You enter the office, having repeated the debate on whether to take your pills, ultimately deciding not to. Your body ached, and the crushing fatigue from jet lag made you out of breath from the short walk up the hill to the NI building. Once you reach your desk, you collapse into the chair. You feel short of breath, but no matter how much you breathe, you don't seem to get enough air. The feeling of weakness persisted. It was nothing major, and you could focus, so you decided to ignore it and push through. Despite the continuous barrage of beautiful women, you're aware of your lack of erection.<<if $deny1 is 1>> Especially, considering your meager orgasm last night.<</if>>
<div class="box zoey"><span style="color:#e50666">'$name?'</span> Zoey startles you by appearing behind your back.</div>

<</if>>You walk with Abigail through the crisp night air, she asked you in more detail about your life in the UK, why you worked at a supermarket and what university was like. She seems very familiar with London, you gather she must have visited the city extensively. The atmosphere was relaxed as she kept the conversation flowing with ease, and you had to remind yourself that this wasn’t a date. Walking up through the house area, a light breeze gently rustled the leaves and the moonlight caught Abigail's face, reflecting off her glossy full lips and emphasising her staggering beauty.

You moan as each movement sends pulses through you, and you can't help but curl your body in response. Lost in the sensation you begin to pump your finger into yourself over and over, almost forgetting about your dick in your other hand.
On screen the girl is lost in her own pleasure, hardly able to concentrate on anything other than the cock filling her. Watching, you can't help but imagine what it would feel like to have something larger in you... to be stretched like her... to feel what she is.

You swallow and have to remind yourself to breath as you hit a spot that makes your eyes roll and your mouth form an O. Your orgasm builds but it feels different; more intense. You want more, you need more as you push into your tight asshole over and over unable to stop, even if you wanted to.</div>
