Turnons - A Game of Dares Ch. 14

First of all thanks everybody once again for the interest and support you're showing me. Also, as promised, I'm doing a recap of the main characters of the story since it can be hard sometimes to keep track of them, especially when they're not featured for a few chapters and then suddenly show up. I hope it will be helpful and as always I hope you'll enjoy reading Turnons. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Characters

Alex Marshall: Alex is a PhD student at UCL who's been just given her first chance at lecturing thanks to a seminar named "The erotic impulse as a mean of liberation in Nietszche, Freud and Marcuse". You've been reading a lot about her thoughts, fantasies, fears, so I just wanted to point out something you might have missed in the meantime.

Laura Bennett: Alex's roommate and friend. She's frisk and easygoing. Laura thinks these last few days of turmoil in Alex's life are due to some new romantic interest, and she's really positive and supportive about Alex's new daring attitude.

Richard Croft: Alex's tutor and boss. He's the one who vouched for her to get her the seminar and he's in charge of Alex's PhD thesis.

Annie Haller: a senior lecturer from a different department. Alex admires her and it seems Annie's got her back with Richard even if in a patronising way. She's Richard's (almost) unconfessed love interest.

Professor Graham Grant: head of the department where Alex and Richard work.

Susie Grant: she's one of the students attending Alex's seminar and the niece of professor Grant. She asked Alex to review a paper she's writing and she has met her on several other occasions.

SubtleG: he's the first user on Turnons Alex accepted a dare from and who's been sending her a few more dares since.

DarkPassenger: a premium user on Turnons who seems to have a specific interest in Alex and her "journey" as he defined it.

Other characters: there's a bunch of characters that appeared or have been mentioned in the story, mostly friends of Alex (Andy, Fran, Nick) or Susie (Charlie, Troy, Amy).

Chapter 14

I can't keep up with this kind of tension the whole time. I'll just break.

But that's exactly what you want, ain't it?

No, I'm not like that, I'm something else. I'm somebody else.

Are you sure? You're positive you wouldn't rather be a little broken slutty toy to be paraded around, trapped in dirty scenarios, facing impossible choices, making mistakes, inevitably revealing your true self?

No... I'm not like that.

You are a PhD student, right?

Yes...

On your way to become an esteemed professor, a young marvel on the rise, ain't you?

I...

Why are you so hesitant?

...

Is it because you don't stand that vibrator in your pussy anymore?

Please...

Please what? Please take that vibrator out and treat me with the respect my position deserves? Or please let me cum?

No, Susan, please don't...

*

The linen was damp after a feverish night. Alex was still sleepy, she hadn't even heard Laura getting up but she smelled coffee. She used to wake up to the sound of the coffee maker, when she wasn't the one using it.

What time was it? She hadn't heard the alarm? And why was Laura up on a Sat... oh fuck you, fuck you, fuck you Nick for planting this idea in my head. Get your shit together Alex.

She reached for her phone and looked for a message or email from Richard. Nothing, no news on the classroom. Grant wasn't that clear the day before on schedule, and honestly she hadn't paid too much attention to her work lately. But that had to change.

She still had the morning off. It was time to find some time for herself and set her mind straight.

Turnons persistent notification was still there from last night.

She clicked on it and started taking a good look at the report. She was going to pay attention this time. She was going to find an opening.

Every bit of the report could be opened to learn details on her progress on Turnons.

Your daily report

Hi SluttyAlex!

You are really getting into it! Your daily report has changed a little since you activated rules. Also remember you can now achieve optional goals to earn badges and perks. Find out more in the dedicated sections on your profile.

Here's your recap for today.

Daily Dares: Your number of daily dares is now 5

Your number of daily dares is determined by your behaviour on Turnons. You can also increase the number of dares manually through your profile settings.

Completed Dares for the day: 0

Completed dares include dares successfully completed during the course of each day. At the end of the day active rules successfully followed during the course of the day will be taken into account as well. Each rule counts as 1 completed dare.

Active rules: 3

Rules like dares have instructions to follow and proof of completion, but they're not limited in time. While dares can include multiple requirements, rules can only include one instruction that you will have to follow every day until the rule stays active. They can be automated or given by users.

Once you accept a rule, it counts as a completed dare for each day you follow it and provide the required proof. If you reject a rule or fail to follow it, the rule expires, number of daily dares rises by 1, level of automated dares rises by 1.

If you fail to follow 2 or more active rules on any given day your account gets inactivated.

Here's a recap of your active rules. For each rule there's the rule name, the dare giver who proposed it and proof required. For the detailed version you can click on the rule name.

No bra - DarkPassenger - Flash proof when required

No orgasms - DarkPassenger - Orgasm count on the Orgasm Tracker = 0

No panties - DarkPassenger - Flash proof when required

Turnons Dares:

You have received 1 out of 3 automated dares.

Automated dares level is now 4.

Active Penalties:2

Failing dares will result in penalties. The penalty system is calibrated on your rank. At lower levels, dare-takers will be given a choice among two options each time they get a penalty. Once you progress and reach higher ranks, dare-givers will be able to set a specific penalty for failing a specific dare, if they do then you won't be able to choose between 2 options anymore.

Here's a recap of your active penalties.

Penalty #1: Your automated dare number is capped at 3.

Penalty #2: Pictures or videos posted as proof for completed dares will be available on your feed for any user who has access to it.

Badges

Badges are awarded to you when you complete specific achievements on Turnons. Each time you get a new badge you also earn a reward. Rewards can include store credit on Turnons store, deals on our membership programs or in-app perks.

Here's a recap of your latest activity. Access the Badges section on your profile to view all locked and unlocked badges.

Fast Learner:you failed to earn this badge.

Hard Worker:complete 25 dares within the end of the week.

Overall completed dares and rules: 12

Your current rank is:Tease

Rank is determined by a number of factors including your profile settings, how active you are on Turnons, the number of daily dares and the overall number of completed dares. The more you play and the more you get engaged in Turnons, the more you'll get your rank up. At higher ranks you will unlock advanced features, badges and perks. *

This day was going to be different. It was about regaining some space, about doing something for herself. He had to see reason. He had to compromise.

SluttyAlex: I need to wear pants today.

Alex was still in bed. It wasn't like her: usually she got up the minute she opened her eyes. But she had trouble sleeping last night, and Laura had an early shift, so the house was quiet enough to spend another half-hour stranded on the bed.

Wait... no there's too much to do, come on up, you'll get through this day sharp as an arrow. You'll get rid of all your Turnons-related problems, you'll workout, you'll have lunch and then get to work.

She was about to get out of bed when DarkPassenger's answer arrived.

DarkPassenger: Hi Alex, good morning, and let me say I like the way your mind is finally starting to work.

SluttyAlex: What do you mean?

DarkPassenger: Alex, you won't be breaking any rule if you wear pants today.

Yeah right, that pair of denim shorts that would make her look like a pin-up.

SluttyAlex: I mean some other pants.

DarkPassenger: Well, there's no rule about that either. But I'm glad you told me.

DarkPassenger: The problem I think is you don't have that many pairs of trousers anymore, right?

SluttyAlex: Right. But I was thinking more of leggings.

DarkPassenger: What for?

SluttyAlex: I'm going to workout at the park.

DarkPassenger: That's healthy. Alright. Tell you what: a great start for your day would be completing a dare, whatever dare you like, and then we'll have you shop for training gear. We'll make a task out of it.

Nice job Alex. Have you set yourself up?

No. You just wanted to avoid what happened with the whole bra thing. You weren't supposed to wear one even if it wasn't a rule strictly speaking. Not consulting DarkPassenger on that didn't play out well, did it?

It's just being careful. You're learning. Pick a dare. You'll get through this.

Her inbox was full of dares and friend requests. More than she would dare to count. Just scrolling down made her feel a familiar tingle. She could fool herself all she wanted, but deep down she knew what all that popularity meant.

No dare from DarkPassenger, no dare from SubtleG, a lot of dares from users on her friend list that she almost never interacted with, apart from reading some of their messages, or their comments on the live stream the day before. She remembered some of them. "She'll be sucking cock on live stream in no time". No, it was far too risky picking a random dare from a user she didn't know.

Luckily there were automated dares. They could ask her to do something she didn't want to do, but they were probably the safest choice. After all she got how they worked a little: they were all about getting you more engaged with the app, so maybe, with a little luck in the draw...

New dare

Level 4

Hey SluttyAlex, you're really doing great! And drawing some interest too.

Since you've reached 100 friend requests you can now accept a special kind of followers we named Watchers.

Watchers work just like friends, they have the same level of access, depending on your privacy settings, and they can message you or comment on your content, but they cannot send you dares.

Once you activate the feature all your current friend requests will be accepted under the status of Watchers. Then anytime you get a new request you can decide to add the user to your friend list, to your watcher list or just ignore it. From time to time if requests pile up we might send you a notification to remind you to answer them.

To complete this dare you just need to activate this feature from your profile settings.

Time left to complete the dare: 10 minutes.

*

That felt like an easy one compared to everything else. She didn't have to *do* anything. She didn't have to post anything. It only involved Turnons users. Moreover, completing this dare and following the rules for the day meant she only had to complete one more dare; then she could even get enough time today to figure a way out of this.

It was about regaining something.

Alex didn't let herself overthink it: she went straight to her profile settings and activated the new feature. A notification informed her she successfully completed the dare. It felt good.

A small red heart popped up beside her name on the profile followed by another notification: *Congratulations you have reached 150 Watchers!*

And just like that, it all came back, the incessant buzz of notifications coming in as she was trying to forget about last night's dare. Apparently oblivious to the notion that 150 users now had full access to her feed, therefore to an ever increasing collection of naked pictures and videos of her, Alex went straight to the group she visited yesterday.

On /turnedonsluts ExposerBRT's post with her naked selfie was still among the latest and most commented. The insights of Alex's original picture showed that almost 300 users had seen it, 6 had shared it.

300 users had seen her naked body. God knew how many more on Pornhub. 150 now had access to all her content on Turnons. Yesterday she was concerned when twelve men, twelve, watched her live streaming. How many more would have followed her next dare? How many more would have commented on her sluttiness, her body, her eagerness? How many more before one, just one among them by an unlucky coincidence happened to be someone Alex knew? An acquaintance, an old friend, a former classmate, worse one of her friends, one of her coworkers. How long could she keep it up? She had to find a way out, soon. And why then, why in the bloody fucking world was she getting wet again?

The easy answer would have been yesterday's all day long edging. But that one was indeed an easy way out for her rational brain. Deep down Alex knew that something else fueled her arousal. Something deeper than her sheer need to cum, something more primal than her exhibitionistic urges, something dangerous and self-destructive that made her now click on the notification about her newly achieved goal.

- Free sponsored content for a day: your content will appear in Turnons "What turns us on" section for 24 hours.

- A gift from our store.

- A 1-day-trial of our Pro membership.

*

Rewards? Those felt more like punishments from her point of view. But choosing, as she guessed, was mandatory. So a gift from the store couldn't be that bad right?

Alex was redirected to a website, store.turnons.com, and presented with a small group of products. Above them she read "SluttyAlex's gift selection", and then "This custom selection of our finest products has been created just for you, to fit perfectly in your Turnons experience!"

As she browsed the products Alex's eyes widened, and in a few seconds she couldn't help but lower her left hand to her shorts again and start rubbing. She allowed herself to imagine buying and using each and every one of them. There were a few pieces of cheap jewellery: a pendant, an ankle bracelet, and a pair of earrings all boasting the word "slut" in bold writing. A princess plug, the kind of toy she had always fantasised about, putting it at the centre of oh so many wild scenarios. A realistic 7 inches suction cup dildo. A vibrating egg. She could easily imagine how using that could affect her current situation. Framed prints of all the pictures she ever shared on Turnons.

God I really hope I'm the only one who can see this.

Probably the fact it was the easiest to hide, or the one she thought could harm her less in the remote case she actually used it, led Alex to choose the buttplug. Or maybe it was just the hard edge she was riding while clicking on the button. Anyway she found herself completing the checkout in a second. She only hesitated when she had to put in her name and address, but, what the hell, it was like buying anything else on the internet, and adult stores were all very discreet when it came to packaging. She heard.

She was still breathing hard coming down off that edge when it hit her again, with full force now. One hundred fifty, Alex, one hundred fifty persons right now have access to your naked body, to your vids, to your filth, your alter-ego, your slutty self. And you just received a reward for it, a pretty pink princess plug for this slutty princess that everybody can see naked, and masturbating in public, and crying in frustration because the only thing that matters to her has been taken away, and the only thing that matters is cumming, be a slut, show off, get off on it, cum. It was not just the exposure, and it was not just the fear and the thrill and the shame. It was also the thought that maybe she didn't have that many persons reading her Facebook posts or watching her Instagram stories, the realisation that a few days of that earned her more attention and online recognition that years of being a well educated, smart, funny, regular person could. That was what pushed her over the edge.

Alex reached instinctively for her pussy again, to get back on it and ride that wave of pleasure, but at the last second she reminded herself of the rules, she reminded herself today was about muscling through it and achieving something. And she pushed her nails deep into her thighs and muffled a scream in the pillow as the long awaited orgasm faded away without any release.

DarkPassenger: You're having quite an active morning I see.

DarkPassenger: Anyway your dare is ready.

What? No! No you stupid fuck you could've owned it. You were just one dare away from completing your daily target. You could've picked another automated dare before he could send you one. Instead you got distracted. You chose to play with yourself, indulge once more in your fantasies, turn off your brain and turn on your cunt. For fuck's sake you didn't even have to ask for a fucking pair of pants, bloody fucking pants, you silly shit. Go now, quick, get through this one day, get a win, you fucking need it, one hundred fifty, bloody one hundred fifty strangers and you went through with it without blinking and now go, tap the fucking shit and...

*New dare from DarkPassenger*

The dare details opened automatically as it did the other times since this dare had priority on anything else. There was no way around it. Not anymore.

*

New Dare from DarkPassenger

So, Alex, this dare will take advantage of you having a little free time to make another important step forward. It will take some time so let's not waste any.

First of all I want you to get ready to go out. You're going to shop for a new training outfit. I want you to wear something like an old dress, something you're prepared to give away if needed, and training shoes. You won't be stopping by at home after your little shopping trip. Post a picture of your outfit once you're ready. I take it you have an H&M you can easily reach: let me know if you don't, the store you'll be visiting will directly influence this dare.

Time left to complete the dare: 4 hours.

*

There was a "post proof" button, then a lot of text blurred out and the accept button at the end. Alex was puzzled but rejecting the dare wasn't really an option. Immediately after she clicked "accept" a pop-up appeared on the screen:

*

Hey SluttyAlex, you have accepted your first procedural dare. Congratulations!

This kind of dare has to be completed step by step: you have to complete a step to unlock the next one. The dare-giver can decide to ask for a proof after each one or not. Please be careful and only accept procedural dares from trusted Turnons friends!

*

Yeah right.

A part of her kind of trusted DarkPassenger though. She had just established that getting a dare from him or SubtleG was a better choice than from anybody else. But that kind of trust? What was he up to?

*

After a quick breakfast and a shower Alex picked her outfit. It felt weird not to fish a pair of panties and a bra from her underwear drawer, but she learned not to risk it, especially if she wanted this day to be easier than the last two. She tried to compensate by picking an old pretty conservative summer dress with a flat neckline that offered full coverage and a skirt reaching down past her knee. It was soft so that the swaying of her free breasts could be noticed, but not too much, its solid colours and floral patterns would have made wearing it acceptable even without wearing a bra, even for the old Alex's standards.
