In front of Cassie and in that posture, she could only see a wall. She had no time to guess how much time had passed. Took a while, nervous and scared as she was, until she felt a hand cupping her buttock. Not many people seemed to be interested in having sex in the street in front of a camera, even if the tacky suit man kept repeating that their faces would be blurred. So far LadyCumsalot had had only one volunteer and MisterIce none.

The hand inserted a lubricated finger in her ass as deep as it went until she felt the nuckles. She wasn't a virgin there, but she certainly hadn't had a stranger prodding before, except maybe, for that one party years ago, when she was half drunk and had half consented. The hand smeared the lube well inside, and around the rim, and not long after she felt something slightly softer and wider. The stranger attacked her for several minutes, grabbing the thin bars of the cage to use as leverage. He wasn't very big and although it hurt, she didn't feel any serious harm being done. Either he wasn't very big or he was being gentle. Though there was always the possibility of him being an actor, working for BraveSpirit.

Cassie only felt three more volunteers after that first one. The second didn't use his penis and instead used only fingers. Either it was a woman, or a shy man. Cassie didn't care, whichever the case she was thankful. The third one was the more violent and made her sob and cry, after which he got even more violent, maye enjoying her suffering. The fourth one was more gentle but she was already in pain and felt much worse than the first one, even if he did more or less the same.

At last the tacky suit man opened the cage and the contestants were allowed to go to a bathroom in the backstore to get cleaned. Cassie had had four volunteers. MisterIce only two. LadyCumsalot, maybe because of her perennial fake smile, or the voluptuousness of her curves, had had six. Cassie just got dressed and went home. She had been brave and daring, and she felt more or less proud, but she was also in pain in her rear, and to a lesser extent on her knees, so she was not in the mood to talk to anybody.

Jackie watched the videos as always. LadyCumsalot already had gotten her desire, as her movies had had a big increase in watches. She could abandon the contest already. Jackie hoped that her agent wasn't lying to her. QueenBee and MisterIce with their mysterious stoic attitude kept doing tasks.

As there were only three contestants at that point, Jackie decided to pass over the next two tasks and go to another level of difficulty. Besides she was woried about Cassie. She had made some foolish mistakes in the last years but not that bad.

Later that night Cassie was trying to sit in front of her laptop but couldn't find a comfortable posture. The pain in her insides kept bothering her. Finally the email with the next task arrived. Before the description of the rules it explained that there were too few contestants and so the direction had decided to jump to the next level.

Cassie smiled. It seemed to be working. Jackie was reacting at last. Her absurd plan was getting somewhere. Jackie was sending her a message by suddenly changing the plan. She just happened to have a good excuse. That or Cassie's hopes were self-deceiving. It was a nice thought anyways.

---

It was unorthdox but Jackie had decided to go in person to the place of the last task. The actor that had pretended to be a bar owner and later an adult store owner had done a fine job, inciting the contestants to go on by being smug and taunting them. Putting his penis in Cassie's mouth during the bar task and his fingers in LadyCumsalot's ass the previous day was not in the script but it wasn't against it either. Not preventing that had been Jackie's mistake and she felt bad. Cassie hadn't complained anyways.

The new task had taken her, the contestants and the camera crew to a tattoo parlor. That task had the added difficulty of having long lasting consequences. Only a very desperate person would accept. At the appointed hour only QueenBee and MisterIce showed up. She was wearing as usual her mask and googles and he was showing his face unashamed.

-You know, if you have read the rules, that the word about to be tattooed, and the place, will be chosen randomly by me.- Jackie pointed at two glass bowls filled with tiny folded pieces of paper.- Now you have to undress fully, as the tattoo could go anywhere, including your face, and lay on those gurneys.- Jackie pointed at the other side of the room were the two tattooist were already waiting with their tools.- The first person to reject a tattoo loses this task and the whole contest.

Jackie stared at QueenBee, who, even if her eyes were hidden, was staring back at her. With her gaze fixed on Jackie she started to undress and walk towards the gurney. Jackie held her gaze and clenched her fists. Cassie was being specially irrational. All that damn contest had been her idea, despite Jackie's protests. She didn't know that Cassie would participate. It wasn't certainly not for the money. As she had a good chunk of the shares of Nanoware she was quite rich and in any case the money would go from the company to her own pocket. So musted be some other reason.

-Good day.- MisterIce said curtly.

-Hi.- Jackie felt tempted to ask him the question she had in her head all the time.- May I ask why are you doing this for real?

-I made a bet with a friend. If I win I get his convertible.

-Okey... Congratulations!- Jackie gave him a thumbs up. The conversation had distracted her and saw that Cassie was already naked and about to remove her mask and show her identity.- You, wait!

Jackie ran towards her, grabbed her arm, and took her to an empty room, where they would be able to talk. Cassie, completely naked in front of Jackeline for the first time in years, put her arms akimbo, to show her the results of the many hours she had spent in the gym. She had had some bad years, in which she took toxic substances, and got engaged in toxic relationships, but she had been taking care of herself lately.

-This is very close to breaking the rules.- Cassie joked.

-Shut up! What the... Fuck! What the... Aaaargh!- Jackie was very close to yelling and the people at the other side of the wall might hear her.

-Are you finished? I have a contest to win.- She was about to leave but Jackie grabbed her arm again.

-Why? You are cofounder of Nanoware. This could ruin us.

-Your concern for my finances is heartwarming. Thank you.- Again she tried to leave and again Jackie stopped her.- Jackson, enough!

Jackson was Jackeline's name before she started her hormonal treatment years ago. Cassie's outburst gave Jackie a clue of what was going on for real. Maybe it was some sort of sick revenge. Maybe all that chaotic behavior of the last years, including the drug abuse, and the asshole boyfriends that mistreated her were also a part of it. Maybe Cassie was trying to hurt her, by hurting herself. Because she hadn't forgiven her.

-So that's it? You hate me? Are you trying to ruin us? To ruin me?

-Hate you? You self absorved idiot. So good with computers and so bad with people? Hurt you!- Now it was Cassie yelling.

-What then! What...?- The other option was slightly less disturbing and slightly more absurd. Love. Cassie had been all that time calling for her. Waiting for her. Begging to be rescued.- I wanted you to be happy...- Jackie started to cry.

-Happy? That's why you broke up with me? To make me happy?

-Because I...! I changed! I'm a different person now.- Cassie kept shooking her head while Jackie talked.- You like guys and I'm not a guy anymore.- She lowered her voice.- The hormones. It doesn't work anymore, you know, down there.- She pointed at her crotch.- I wanted you to be able to..., have a life. With someone else.

-Maybe I already had a life. Don't you think? Maybe you shouldn't decide for both of us without asking me. Maybe I just want to share your bed and using a damn dildo is fine for me, if you don't..., work down there.- Cassie made a pause to let Jackie clean her tears.- And since you haven't had any lovers in these years I must guess that you have missed me too. No?

A week later Cassie arrived home. The sexual content of the last BraveSpirit had had consequences in the value of Nanoware's stocks, provoking ups and downs, and her accountants had her doing extra hours. Many people believed that it had been a bold move, but others that it was disgusting. In any case it had been the contest with the most audience and the rumors about QueenBee's identity helped.

Cassie didn't know if MisterIce had really gotten his friend's convertible, but she hoped that he was enjoying the cash prize. Poor LadyCumsalot had been so close. Ideas for the next tournament kept coming to her mind. QueenBee could be a participant yet again, albeit in a less sexual manner. She was in a relationship now after all.

Cassie entered in the bathroom were Jackie was having a shower. She quickly undressed and got in there. She embraced Jackie from behind and caressed her crotch. So far she hadn't been able to provoke an erection but she kept trying. It always made Jackie laugh. She turned arouns and pushed Cassie against the wall. Looking for a moment at her gym body Jackie smiled. She was wrong and Cassie was right. All those wasted years were shameful. They hugged and shared a deep and much desired kiss.
