Lia's words were both reassuring and frightening to me at the same time. On one hand, I don't need to worry that she would have too much trouble adjusting to becoming a woman. On the other hand... I couldn't help but worry the transformation altered her mind, and that it was my fault.
Lia looked down at her body. "Oh gods, my dick is huge and I covered myself in jizz..."
I had half expected Grace to be mortified by watching but she looked happy, any awkwardness of the situation hadn't even fazed her. She stood up and brought over a towel. "Here you go Lia," she said with a smile.
Lia took it and began wiping herself off. "Thanks sis... This is a little weird huh?"
Grace laughed. "It is, how do you feel?"
"I feel great, I... I don't think I've ever felt better in my life. I can't even describe how much better my body feels, I feel so light, so much stronger, I feel more awake than I ever have before."
Tears rolled down Grace's face and she pulled Lia into a hug. Lia pulled her closer and they held each other while Grace cried. It slowly turned from quiet sniffling to full-out sobbing. "I am so happy you're going to be alright," Grace managed between sobs.
Lia squeezed Grace tighter. "It's okay big sis, I'll be okay now. You don't need to watch me waste away anymore."
I was getting emotional just watching. Did this make things worth it? Changing someone on a fundamental level in exchange for curing their sickness?
Bella, Eira, and I took a bit of distance from them and gave them space. Grace cried for another ten minutes or so before pulling away and wiping away her tears. She sniffled and reached over to hand Lia her clothes.
She took the shirt and held it up to herself, it looked comically small next to her new body and large breasts. "This isn't going to fit..." She looked at Grace's chest. "I think we might share sizes now..."
Grace laughed and wiped at her face again. "I will go bring you a shirt... and a brassiere from my room. Then we can go talk... Lilith will probably be busy the rest of the night helping the other girls." She got up and quickly left the room.
The three of us averted our gaze while Lia explored her new body but all of us could feel the curiosity and excitement flow through our new connection with her, it was safe to assume she was attracted to her new body. Grace came back with a small pile of clothes and handed them to her. "I brought you some of my clothes but... I do not think my underwear would fit you so I brought a long skirt instead..."
Lia laughed and took the pile of clothes and started putting them on. Grace had to help her with the brassiere but they were so similar in size that it only took a few minor adjustments.
Once Lia was fully dressed Grace turned to me. "Thank you, Lilith. I want to talk with you later but I think we have kept you from the other girls long enough tonight. Will you find me tomorrow morning?"
"Sure," I said with a smile.
She smiled in return before the two of them left together. I took a deep breath and turned to my friends. "You ready for the rest of tonight?"
They both nodded and smiled as we made our way back into the main part of the room, dropping away the silence spell behind me.
***
Inside the main part of the suite, I overheard Oceane finishing up explaining the transformation. She spared me from having to repeat myself again while I was busy with Grace and Lia. After seeing Raya, Sibyl, and Nadia already, it didn't seem like anyone doubted the transformation this time and most of the girls were talking to each other about whether they would go through with it or not.
Tisha and Jade found me as I left the suite's side room. While the two of them looked nearly identical now, the bond made it easy to tell them apart. Tisha stepped forward with a small smile. "Lilith, we wanted to talk with you before you got started."
"Sure," I replied. "What's up?"
"The ability the change granted us allows us to share the [Succubus Bond] and use [Bonded Communication] with people that don't have the ability. There are a few people we've been talking to that I think would feel better about the change if they could share the link with you before we get started."
"With me?"
Tisha nodded. "Yes, the bond is good at revealing people's true feelings and motives. Some of the people I think the change would help the most are wary of joining the 'family' of someone they don't know and don't trust. But we can help with that!"
I smiled in understanding. "Sure, point the way. I'm curious to see how your ability works anyway."
Tisha took my hand and led me through the room to a couple of women sitting by themselves in the corner. Bella and Eira split off and went over to the bed where the rest of my party had gathered.
"Olivia, Lily, this is Lilith. She agreed to meet you before she got started with everyone else."
They were a pair of beastfolk, a minx and a ferret. Olivia, the minx, looked uncomfortable and Lily seemed quiet and shy.
I nodded. "Nice to meet you two, Olivia, Lily. Tisha said that she could use her ability to let you connect to me through the bond. I want to stress that everything is voluntary, I don't want to pressure you into anything you don't want to do but Tisha thinks that you two would benefit from it. Do you two want to try?"
The two girls looked at each other nervously while Tisha and Jade gave the two of them puppy dog eyes. I thought it was better not to push for it and ultimately I didn't mind if they turned the transformation down but I was curious to at least see Tisha and Jade's power firsthand and if the bond would help these two then I was happy to do it.
"It won't hurt or anything will it?" Olivia asked.
Jade shook her head. "Of course not! The bond feels... interesting. And the transformation itself feels really good. You'll be able to see some of the other girls experience it first and you'll be able to see for yourself."
"O-okay. I'll try it."
"Me too, I'll try the bond thing," Lily quietly agreed.
Tisha clapped. "Great! Okay, everyone hold hands."
I nodded and took Tisha and Jade's hands who got on either side of me with the two new women in the middle. Tisha and Jade took a synchronized breath and I felt something akin to magic flow through me from both directions. Only moments later I felt the two new girls connect to the bond and a flood of their emotions came through the bond all at once.
Anxiety, fear, loneliness, distrust, yearning, pain. I took a deep breath to settle myself and let their feelings crash over me and recede like the tide. I thought about my new family and friends. Bella, Mimi, Raya, Sibyl. I wanted to share how close I felt with them, how amazing it felt to connect to those with the bond on such a personal level. Oliva and Lily released a shuddering breath.
I let my feelings flow through my words, "I want to build a family. People who can trust each other, help each other, rely on each other, love each other. I don't want to trick other people, I want to help them. If the change isn't for you then I don't want you to become a succubus but if it would help you and you don't mind the drawbacks, then I would welcome both of you as family."
My words resonated with the two, with the bond so open and clear they could feel the sincerity of my words and I could feel that it struck a chord within them. They were lonely and closed off, for them the brothel was the only home they'd found and they still had trouble trusting people, even here. I didn't know what it was but there was a lot of pain in their past that they kept bottled up and hidden away.
Lily's words were raspy but confident, "I'll do it. I can trust you."
A moment after Olivia's words followed. "I'll do it too... I want to be able to share this feeling with others, other succubi, whenever I want."
I nodded. "Then please join my family tonight," I said with a smile.
The temporary bond faded away and that felt rather odd to me. It was the first time I had connected to someone else through the bond and that connection completely closed. Even when others closed off the connection, I could still feel them. This was the first time they were just gone. It was kind of a sad feeling but I knew I would connect to them again, the certainty I felt in their emotions was clear.
I turned to Tisha and Jade. "Thanks for that experience, your ability to share the [Succubus Bond] is incredible."
Jade smiled. "That's not the extent of it, we live and breathe the bond. I can feel all of the succubi through their bond no matter the distance, even the ones on the other side of the building."
"...Isn't that a little overwhelming?" I asked.
Tisha shook her head. "No. We can feel them from wherever we are but their emotions aren't as... tangible? At least compared to the ones in the same room as us. We can feel the surface emotions but not as clearly as if they were in the same room."
"What about the range? How far can you feel others?"
Jade smiled. "We could feel you, Mimi, Raya, and Sibyl leave the city today. While out there we could tell you split up. Mimi felt anxious while away from you and relieved when you reunited. We haven't talked with any of you since, so we don't know what happened but we could tell that much."
I felt nervous about the extent they could track others, in a way it meant none of the succubi would have privacy anymore... It became another drawback of the transformation.
Tisha touched my arm and snapped me out of my thoughts. "I can feel your worry but there's no need. We won't do anything to hurt our family or create any more drawbacks to the change. We're still trying to figure out and control our powers but we already learned we can shut that particular ability off. We'll only track and find people in emergencies."
Through their emotions I could feel that they were both committed to that promise, they were both well aware of how invasive their powers could be. It didn't completely alleviate my worries but it at least tempered my concern.
Jade cleared her throat. "But that brings us to the other thing we wanted to ask you. While we don't want to watch and track all of the succubus... we know that you'll leave the city eventually. The two of us can feel it, you still intend to leave once your work here is finished. We wanted to ask if we could keep track of you, know where you are, know if... you're alive. At least to the extent that our ability allows us."
I sighed and looked at the ceiling. Taking away other's privacy without consent felt invasive but I did trust the two of them. I don't think I would mind.
"Sure. You can keep tabs on me once we leave town but only if you promise not to share the information with anyone other than other succubi you absolutely trust. I don't think I would mind if Oceane or Grace knew but it's not something I would like everyone to know or for either of you to spread around. I think there's a chance going forward that my friends and I are going to make enemies and I don't want our whereabouts accidentally leaked to them."
Tisha smiled and nodded. "Of course! That's great, I'll feel so much better about being able to see where you're at once you leave."
I nodded and then had a thought. "Not tonight but later on... would you mind using your ability to share the bond with Morrigan and Torien? They haven't decided to become Succubi yet but... the idea of sharing the bond with them, even temporarily, would mean a lot to me. There's something truly special about being able to tell someone you love them, and feel it through the bond."
Jade smiled. "We would love to." She turned to Tisha. "I know firsthand what you're talking about."
Tisha blushed and looked away.
I smiled and stood up. "Thanks for that experience and nice meeting the two of you. I'm sure I'll see all of you later tonight but I've probably kept everyone waiting for long enough.
I figured that based on what had happened last time, it would probably be a good time to swap my class out for [Novice Prostitute] to take advantage of the coming orgy. I wasn't sure how helpful the ranks in that class would be but it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of the situation.
I looked over Oliva and Lily one last time before bringing my attention back to the densely packed room. A large portion of the Brothel must be in here, waiting for what Oceane and I promised them. I think it was time to get started and add more people to my quickly growing family.

Hello! I know I didn't give the most clear cut stance on the ethics of what Lilith did to Liam/Lia but I hope everyone understands that it's meant to be ambiguous. Is what Lilith did to Liam/Lia okay? Is it okay if Liam gave consent? Is it okay if this saved Liam's life? Even if it saved Liam/Lia's life, does it count as a minor identity death? Even I'm not sure where exactly I stand on some of this and that's one of the beauties of fiction writing, all of us get to explore somewhat impossible scenarios. I hope that my story made everyone think a little bit and consider the implications of what something like this could mean. I hope you enjoyed reading, see you next time!
