"Free" vacation

“Wait a minute… is that why you invited us on this trip?” Paul asked, adjusting the orange-accented bikini he was now wearing.

“I knew it! There had to be some catch to your sudden generosity,” Edward chimed in, striking a pose in his purple bikini.

Leonard smirked as he looked at them — or rather, at the two stunning young women who would now be accompanying him on this unforgettable getaway.

“You really thought you’d get an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas with no strings attached?” he said, amused.

Paul and Edward had been his friends since way back. They grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same school, shared the same struggles. While Leonard had turned his life around and was now living in luxury, the other two were still stuck complaining about how unfair life was.

“You always said you wanted a taste of my lifestyle,” Leonard continued. “Well, this is how I decided to share it. If you want to keep enjoying this amazing week with me, you’ll have to stay like this. But hey, if you’d rather not, I can undo the spell, tear up the fake passports I had made, and you’re free to go.”

“No, no! We’ll do it your way,” the two replied in unison, exchanging a knowing glance.

“Perfect,” Leonard said with a satisfied grin. “Go get ready. We’re leaving in a few hours.”

Later, while packing, Paul shot Edward a suspicious look.

“Dude… you agreed way too quickly. Not even a moment of hesitation.”

“Me? You said yes just as fast—and with a little smirk too, if I’m not mistaken,” Edward replied, laughing.

Truth be told, the three had an incredible time on the trip. But for Paul and Edward, this was more than just a vacation. The new bodies, the attention, the luxurious lifestyle—it was all intoxicating.

Deep down, neither of them wanted to go back.

First step: keep these bodies.

Second step: win Leonard’s heart.

And well… may the best woman win.
