"You have exactly five seconds to get off me before I, quite literally, bite your ass.”

  Juniper, of course, just laughed at the threat—and the feeling of nails digging into her thighs.

  "Awww! Big girl's gettin' testy~" She shifted again, moving forward so that she was fully seated on Alice's face.

  She was so close that Alice could probably count the stitches on the front pocket of her jean shorts if she wanted.

  "Go ahead. I dare you~" she all but sing-songed out.

  Alice's eyes narrowed into slits, her jaw clenching.

  She felt like she was about to explode from humiliation, but the sudden, taunting challenge from the girl on top of her made something inside her snap.

  “Fine.”

  Her hands shifted to grip Juniper's hips tighter, then her head tilted forward until she could.

  Her teeth latched on the fabric of the other girl's shorts and bit.

  Juniper's smug expression turned absolutely feral as Alice finally made good on her threat.

  Her head fell back, a sharp gasp leaving her lips and one hand flying to grip the couch below her for support. "Ah—ah! ...Geez, your goddamn teeth, you little...! That hurts~"

  Still, she didn't move from her position on top of the other girl's face.

  In fact, she even ground her ass down harder before sneaking in another pic because of course she wasn't done yet.

  Alice, still gripping Juniper's hips with her teeth like a feral animal refusing to let go, saw the second photo being taken.

  Her entire body locked up in horror—because she was 100% sure that pic would be even worse than the first.

  And then came the worst part: Juniper sent it.

  A sharp growl vibrated against fabric as Alice's eyes darted toward Juniper’s phone screen—and she saw Angelica had already responded with nothing but a string of laughing emojis and:

  > "Fuckin’ FINALLY.”

  The second that response appeared, she snarled: "You ass!"

  The second photo was already way worse, with Alice's head tilting forward like that. It was the perfect angle that showed off Juniper's position on top of her and it looked very compromising, to say the very least.

  And now Angelica saw it too.

  "You are so going to pay for this, I swear to the Goddesses—"

  "Oh, but I ain't done yet," Juniper said, still typing on her phone, "I'm finna post this on every damn social media handle I got, my stans boutta go ham when they see this shit!”

  Alice's eyes widened in horror at that, her heart sinking at the thought of millions upon millions of crazed Juniper fans saving those images on their phones—possibly making edits of them for good measure.

  "N-No!" she protested, trying and failing to struggle and shove Juniper back again, "No, you can't do— stop that!"

  "Too late~" Juniper sang out as she finally finished sending the picture out to her socials. "They're gonna be eatin' this right up. I'm boutta break the internet and you're right in the middle of it all!”

  "Juniper!" Alice snapped, struggling again desperately to dislodge the other girl from her face, "You take those pictures down right now! I swear, I'll—I'll—"

  "You'll what?" Juniper's voice took on a mocking, sing-song tone again as she tucked her phone away, shifting more of her weight back to smother Alice even further. "Bite me harder? Threaten me some more~?"

  Alice was starting to turn red in the face—for the third time in the past ten minutes.

  Alice was starting to get seriously pissed off with Juniper's cocky attitude now—especially with the way she was mocking her like a goddamn cat playing with its prey.

  She tried to buck her hips up again, but all that did was cause the girl on top of her to shift and move to sit on her even lower, practically smothering her. She tried to shout another insult out, but all she managed was a strangled, muffled protest through the layers of fabric: "Mph—mmphh!! Mmmhh—”

  Juniper just cackled again at the sound of Alice's pitiful attempts at struggling. "You look real cute like this, y'know. All flustered and struggling and pissed off—"

  She made sure to put a heavy amount of pressure on Alice's face with her ass again, just to hear the other girl choke out another angry sound of protest. "—and red. It's a good look on ya~"

  She smirked, taking her phone out again and taking a picture of that exact moment just to annoy Alice further.

  Alice's entire body shuddered in humiliation as the camera's shutter went off yet again, snapping a photo with her face smushed beneath Juniper's ass and looking thoroughly humiliated.

  The worst part of it was knowing that not only was Angelical already laughing her damn ass off, but the picture was now getting sent out onto God-knew how many social media sites by a bunch of Juniper's rabid fans.

  "I'ma caption this 'How tf my girl's a Black queen, but she's being MY throne rn ??'...hell yeah~"

  Then boom - pics uploaded.

  Alice's entire body flamed at that comment, embarrassment and anger warring for dominance inside her head as the mental image of Juniper's insane fans seeing those pics popped into it.

  She could already hear the comments—and they were all absolutely humiliating.

  "I-I swear, you little prick, if you don't—"

  But another teasing shift from the idol on top of her made her go completely still for a moment, suddenly aware of exactly how badly her body was responding to all this.

  The comments were already pouring in by the thousands.

  Juniper cackled harder than ever as she read them off of her phone. "Damn, the first round of comments are good as hell—they're loving these pics, they're calling you a 'Lucky Throne’, a 'Lucky Seat', and 'the Comfiest Chair in the World'—ha, some of them are saying you're lucky."

  A thought suddenly seemed to strike her, then, and another smug smile tugged at her mouth. "Heyyy...you know, they're kinda right, y'know.”

  Alice's entire body locked up in pure, unfiltered horror as the first round of comments started pouring in—fast.

  > "AYOOOO????"

  > "LMAOOO BRO SHE REALLY LET HERSELF BE A CHAIR"

  > "I KNEW ALICE WAS JUNIPER'S STOOL BUT DAMN ??"

  > "SOMEONE CHECK ON HER THIGH MARKS RN"

  Juniper, meanwhile, was losing her mind laughing at every single notification that popped up on her screen.

  "And look! They're already making memes outta it!" She wheezed out between fits of laughter while turning the phone around to show Alice a poorly photoshopped image: her face stuck under Juniper’s ass with a speech bubble saying "I ACCEPT MY FATE."

  "Oh, this is just delicious," Juniper chuckled as she scrolled through the first couple dozen memes her fans had made of that first picture.

  She saved quite a few of them to her phone, planning on setting them as her wallpaper later-because why the hell not, she was a bit of a troll after all.

  Then she checked the comments again, immediately met with:

  "SHOW THE ASS PRINT SHOW THE ASS PRINT"

  "Y'know what? Let's take one more just for good measure~" she hummed, lifting her phone to snap a second picture. "A 'part two', so to speak…”

  Alice's face was burning as she struggled to process the sheer, unfiltered humiliation of it all. Her body was practically vibrating with a mix of fury and something else—something she refused to acknowledge.

  Juniper, meanwhile, had no shame whatsoever. She wiggled her hips just enough for the fabric to stretch over Alice’s nose in a way that made an even more pronounced silhouette on screen—then snapped another pic like some kind of demonic paparazzi.

  "There. Now we got matching sets," Juniper giggled while typing out:

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  > "Stool Queen part 2 ??? (she still ain't movin' tho)"

  And then? She pressed upload.

  Alice's entire body jerked in pure, unfiltered outrage as the notification sound of Juniper actually uploading that second picture—the one with her face visibly stamped by the girl's ass— played from her phone.

  The first round of reactions came in instantly:

  > "SHE REALLY LET HERSELF BE A HUMAN STAMP PAD??"

  > "THE PRINT IS IMMACULATE"

  > "JUNIPER WE LOVE YOU BUT WHAT DID SHE DO TO DESERVE THIS???" (Read: Nothing. She did nothing.)

  Juniper wheezed at every single comment, clutching her stomach as she nearly fell off Alice’s lap laughing. "AHAHAH—OH MY GOD! THEY'RE CALLIN’ YOU A 'LIVING SEAL' NOW!!!" She held up a meme someone had already made: a badly edited image of Alice photoshopped onto an actual rubber stamp with "PROPERTY OF JUNIPER" stamped on it.

  And then…her eyes widened dramatically as she scrolled further down.

  "...Wait." Her voice dropped to something low and dangerous despite still grinning like a demon. "They're shipping us too."

  Alice's humiliation was reaching its absolute peak.

  She could literally die of embarrassment right here and now—the thought of having been branded "Property of Juniper" and now people shipping them too was just the final straw.

  She could only let out a strangled sound between a whimper and a moan as she tried to process all of the new memes and comments, and the sudden, horrifying realization that her fans were now shipping her with her tormentor.

  Alice's entire body twitched in pure, unadulterated mortification as she processed the sheer audacity of her own fans.

  "JUNALICE."

  The name alone was enough to make her let out a strangled noise—something between disbelief and utter despair. Her hands, still gripping Juniper’s hips like a lifeline, tightened even further (if that was possible).

  And then—the worst part came: the memes.

  > "THE WAY SHE LETS HERSELF BE A CHAIR BUT STILL ACTS LIKE SHE'S NOT OBSESSED???"

  > "(Image: Alice blushing furiously with "JUNALICE IS CANON NOW" stamped on her forehead.)"

  > "They're so toxic yet I can't look away..."

  Juniper threw her head back and cackled loud enough for half the school to hear. "Ohhhh this is too good!" She wheezed before turning back down at Alice with tear-filled eyes from laughing so hard. "Babe—sorry, ex-bestie~ no wait… bestie? Girlfriend? What are weeee~"

  Alice's hands gripped harder than ever at Juniper's hips, her whole body trembling in humiliation as the memes from her own fans kept flooding in.

  The ship name was bad enough—Junalice—but then there were the memes comparing her to a flustered, blushing tsundere and the memes acting like they were actually dating.

  She struggled to let out a strangled sound—another whimper of pure, unfiltered humiliation. It was so humiliating that her own fans were calling them toxic—and even WORSE, shipping them.

  Juniper's smirk doubled in size as she watched Alice's face burn redder than a stop sign.

  "Ooooh, you hate that they're calling us toxic, don'tcha?" She cooed mockingly before reading another comment aloud: "'They fight like an old married couple but the tension is ELECTRIC—'"

  She cackled again at the sound of Alice choking on her own spit. "AHAH! They even got fanart up already! Look at this!!"

  The image on screen was a poorly drawn comic strip of two stick figures—one clearly Juniper (based purely on her shit-eating grin) and one obviously Alice (mid-scream with steam coming out of her ears). The caption read: "Junalice Feud #1283 - 'I Will Bite You.' 'Do It Harder.'"

  And then…there was a tag below it: #KissOrKill.

  At that moment, Juniper realized that she actually had an idea…

  Her smirk slowly shifted into a devious grin as a very wicked idea occurred to her, one that would definitely take this already-humiliating scenario to a whole new level, and would definitely get on Alice's nerves.

  She glanced back at Alice, whose face was still firmly pinned beneath her ass and completely pissed-off from the fanworks and memes alone.

  "...Bae~?"

  She spoke the words in such a sweet, almost innocent way that she knew Alice was definitely gonna hate what came next.

  Something about the sweet, innocent tone of Juniper's voice immediately set off alarm bells, instantly putting Alice on edge.

  She could already sense that the other girl was up to something, and from the mischievous twinkle of her eyes, it was nothing good.

  "…Yeees?" she replied warily.

  The way Alice had answered her—sounding wary and annoyed, yet somehow still submitting to her even when pinned down like this—made something dark and sly and all kinds of devious light up across Juniper's face.

  She made sure to keep her tone as sweet and fake-innocent as possible as she spoke again.

  "I have a proposition for ya," Juniper said gently.

  Alice's body instantly tensed further, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.

  That sweet-but-sinister tone still in Juniper's voice was setting off major alarm bells in her head, and the fact that the girl was talking about having a 'proposition' for her had her mentally bracing for the worst.

  Against her better judgment, she couldn't help but bite and ask, "…what kind of proposition?”

  Juniper's grin widened to an almost unnatural degree, her expression practically glowing with mischief.

  "A real simple one~" She purred, her voice dripping with honeyed malice. "Kiss me."

  A pause. A beat of silence for the full weight of that demand to sink in—and then she added, just for good measure:

  "...Or I tell everyone you're actually a Junalice shipper too."

  Her smirk turned downright predatory. The threat was crystal clear: comply or get roasted publicly forever as a hypocrite who secretly liked being tormented by Juniper~

  Alice felt her jaw drop.

  Did she just—did Juniper just ask her to kiss her?! Right here, right now, with her fans watching?!

  The weight of Juniper's body on her, the smug tone in her voice—it was humiliating, and intoxicating. She wanted to say no, to spit out a harsh, immediate rejection…but the thought of her fans writing a whole ass fanfic about them…

  Juniper couldn't help but chuckle at the look that appeared on Alice's face, which was a cross between humiliated, pissed-off, and absolutely flustered.

  She could see the inner conflict going through the other girl's mind, especially with the way Alice's eyes darted from the camera to her face, as if weighing the pros and cons.

  Her voice was still sickeningly sweet when she spoke again, adding a little more pressure to Alice's position beneath her ass.

  "That wasn't a rhetorical question, bae.”

  Alice's face burned in pure humiliation at the fact that Juniper had actually just called her 'bae,' and the way she'd so casually added that pressure to her face—it was beyond humiliating for the already-pinned girl.

  And the fact that the whole world was watching, including Alice's own fans, who were just waiting for her to cave in and give Juniper what she wanted…

  It was too much for her.

  "Fine," she spat. "One kiss.”

  Juniper squealed in pure, unfiltered delight—like she’d just won the goddamn lottery.

  "FINALLY!" She cackled, finally getting herself off of Alice's face and twisting her body to loom over Alice as if this was some grand romantic moment and not a humiliating public spectacle. Her grin was feral. "Don't worry—I'ma make it worth your while~"

  And then? She kissed her. Hard enough to bruise, right there on camera with an audience of thousands watching live.

  The second their lips touched? The live comments exploded:

  > "(Image: Junalice is CANON.)"

  > "THE WAY ALICE'S EYES WIDENED IN SHOCK???"

  > "#KissOrKillWasARealTest"

  Alice's brain immediately went nuclear the second their lips connected, the sensation alone was enough to nearly short-circuit her entire mind as she froze completely.

  Not only was her own fans seeing her actually kiss Juniper, but she could practically feel just how smug and happy she was from the way Juniper was kissing her so roughly, practically crushing their lips together in a bruising display of triumph.

  The comments that exploded in the chat and the fan memes only heightened the humiliation, making Alice's face burn even redder.

  Juniper's kiss had Alice whimpering into her mouth. It was rough—brutal, even, like the other girl was making it a point to leave her completely stunned and humiliated from that single kiss alone.

  She let it last for what felt like an eternity before finally pulling away, looking downright delighted by Alice's reaction—especially the way the pinned girl's eyes were still wide with shock from the kiss. It was one hell of a power play.

  "That…" she said breathlessly, "was a good look on you, bae~”

  Alice took a few, sharp, gasping breaths as she lay there on her back, stunned speechless from the brutal kiss alone. Her heart was absolutely racing in her chest, her entire face burning in an absolute blaze of humiliation—not only because of Juniper herself, but also because her fans were watching her be subjected to something so embarrassing.

  She could only glare up at Juniper, trying to hide how flustered she was from the kiss—though it was very obvious in her flushed face.

  "Don't. Call. Me. Bae.”

  Seeing the way Alice was practically hyperventilating beneath her after the kiss, completely taken off guard and blushing right down to her collar—all while Juniper herself loomed over her, grinning in satisfaction? It was a glorious sight.

  She chuckled at the way Alice tried to scowl up at her and act all tough, all while blushing so hard it looked like she'd actually enjoyed the kiss.

  "What, I can't call my bae by a cute little pet name?”

  Dammit.

  Alice's face immediately burned even hotter at being called "bae" again. It embarrassed her just how much the pet name seemed to get to her—she'd always thought of pet names as stupid and corny, something that should've disappeared decades ago…

  …but something about having Juniper call her "bae" in that smug tone of voice was sending her heart into overdrive.

  "N-no, you can't," she hissed sharply. "Stop calling me that!”

  Seeing just how much the pet name was getting to Alice—causing her to get even more flustered and stuttery, all while blushing like crazy—was making Juniper feel euphoric.

  She knew damn well how much being called "bae" was getting under Alice's skin, and seeing how flustered it was making the pinned girl was absolutely delicious.

  "Aww," she cooed, tilting her head in mock-innocence. "But it's so cute, and you look adorable when you're being all bratty~"

  Juniper snapped her head to her phone, which was still blaring with notifications, and found her favorite comment yet.

  "Baeeee, check out this one!" she said, shoving her phone in Alice's face. The comment?

  "WLW ??

  Snowbunnies Loving Black Queens ?”

  God dammit, that smug, self-satisfied smirk on Juniper's face alone was driving Alice up the wall with frustration. That combined with the way the other girl was still calling her "bae" in that smug, teasing tone—and the fact that she'd just called her a goddamn 'brat'.

  It was so irritating…but so, so infuriatingly attractive at the same time.

  And then Juniper showed her the comment—only to make the humiliation ten times worse.

  Her fans were not holding back ANYTHING.

  Juniper just cackled, completely unable to stop herself from finding this entire situation hilarious. Not the fact that Alice was all humiliated and pinned beneath her, or that her own fans were actively making comments—but the fact that Alice was trying desperately to hide how flustered the pet name was making her, and failing every time.

  "Oh come on, it's true," she cooed. "You're my Black queen and I'm your little snowbunny—you know it, I know it, and my stans know it~”

  Alice let out a strangled groan at Juniper's blunt comment.

  God DAMMIT, that sounded hot.

  She tried desperately to hide how flustered she was, how much the pet name—and Juniper calling herself her "snowbunny"—was doing to her, but every time Juniper teased and cooed at her, it got more and more difficult to hide her fluster.

  "Stop," she muttered, trying to sound firm, but her voice was hoarse with desire. "You keep doing that on purpose.”

  That low, hoarse tone in Alice's voice was going directly to Juniper's brain, igniting a fire of pure desire within her. Alice might've been trying to sound firm and defiant, but the way her voice shook—as if she was on the verge of begging for something—told a whole damn different story.

  And the fact that she was calling Juniper out for doing it "on purpose" made her grin turn downright devious.

  "Doing what?" she taunted sweetly.

  Before Alice could answer, then came a call from Chie on Juniper's phone...

  ...and Juniper let out a low groan.

  Ahh dammit, of course her phone had to go off now. It was bad enough that she had to stop teasing Alice now that she was starting to be all flustered and hot, but now someone was calling to interrupt?

  Juniper shot a quick glance at her phone, ready to hit 'ignore'...until she saw who the one calling was.

  Chie.
