"The key is anticipation," Mistress Andrea said, preening her long, strawberry-blonde hair slightly and glorying in the astonished gazes of her fellow dommes. She held their gaze with her own green eyes, reveling in their awe. "That was what really took the longest, training robyn to not just obey me instinctively, but to anticipate my desires before I even expressed them. Needless to say, it wasn't easy."
robyn walked over to her, totally naked, holding a goblet. She had absolutely no hair at all, either on her head or body; Andrea liked her pets smooth and clean. "Mistress wants more wine," she said dully, her blue eyes vacant. She was totally in subspace now, Andrea knew, absolutely incapable of understanding anything but obedience.
"Thank you, robyn," Andrea said, taking the goblet of wine. "See, this is what I'm talking about," Andrea said, sipping at the drink. "I didn't even need to inform her that I was thirsty; she simply picked up on subconscious cues in my body language and went to go get me something refreshing. It's all about anticipation."
Joan took a long moment to find her voice. "And she doesn't..." She kept staring at robyn as the slavegirl walked off behind Andrea to handle her duties, seeming absolutely bowled over with the sheer audacity of Andrea's achievements. No surprise, really. Joan was always a bit of a 'soft' domme, far too lenient on her pets. She certainly couldn't have imagined the kind of training regimen that Andrea had put robyn through. "She doesn't notice anything unusual? Anything at all?"
Andrea laughed. "She's not capable of noticing anything at all, Joan. I told you, the amount of hypnosis she's been through, she probably doesn't even know the rest of you exist. I'm the absolute center of robyn's world." Andrea didn't even bother looking at robyn as she spoke. She was confident that robyn was handling her slave duties, there was no need to oversee her personally. In fact, that was the point of this whole endeavor. "Of course, it's not just hypnosis. There's more to it than that, but--"
robyn came up alongside Andrea, breaking into her conversation. "Mistress wants another piece of cheese," she said dully. She held out a plate, and Andrea gratefully popped a bit of cheddar into her mouth.
"Thank you, robyn," she said. "Where was I? Oh, of course. The training regimen. It's not just hypnosis. It's a combination of hypnosis and sensory overload. We all know that 'subspace' is the point where a submissive loses the ability to resist completely. I'm just making use of that state to facilitate her hypnotic conditioning. The two work together in a kind of synergy, putting the submissive into a whole new level of obedience--one where her core identity can be totally reshaped. Triggers and post-hypnotic suggestions are only the beginning. I can reshape someone's entire personality, if I want."
"Is...is that true?" Kara said, looking over at robyn's naked body. robyn nodded her head absently, understanding that the question was directed at her even through the haze of trance. Andrea practically glowed with pride; certainly, she was proud of her own ability to bring robyn to this state, but she was equally proud of robyn's talents as a slave. She couldn't have taken just anyone and turned them into the perfect pet. No, Andrea needed to find a diamond in the rough, and while she might have turned out flawless work, robyn was the diamond she found.
"Unbelievable," Kara said. "I never would have imagined it possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, but this is the proof." Andrea was a little surprised at just how astonished Kara seemed. She'd seen Kara with her pet, dana, and while nobody was as obedient as robyn, dana did a pretty good job of coming close. "Tell us..." Kara's eyes flicked back and forth between robyn and Andrea. "Tell us more about how you did it."
robyn said, "Mistress wants a backrub," as she set the cheese tray down. Andrea shifted position on the couch to allow robyn room to slide in behind her, and robyn's talented fingers were soon working on her shoulders.
"Mmmm, that's nice, pet," Andrea said. "I started with hypnosis, of course. I put her under with a long induction, longer than usual." She sighed softly at the way robyn's hands relaxed her muscles. "I wanted her to be very deep for me by the time we started playing. Once I was satisfied that she was at the right level of trance, I tied her up."
"Couldn't you have just used a freeze trigger?" Joan asked. Joan was big into mind-play, less so into the physical aspects of BDSM. She barely even spanked her pets.
"I wanted to...mmm..." robyn worked the muscles of Andrea's lower back in just the way she liked. "I wanted to accentuate the feeling of helplessness. She needed to be physically as well as mentally controlled." Which was why Joan would never have a hope in hell of making her pet, mia, this obedient. "Then I started the sensory stimulation. Clothespins on the breasts, a vibrating butt plug up her ass...I used the crop on her for a long while. All the while, whispering suggestions. She was trembling like a leaf, weren't you, robyn?"
"Yes, Mistress," robyn said. "Mistress remembers me sinking into deep, helpless hypnotic trance. Mistress remembers turning me into an obedient slavegirl. Mistress remembers brainwashing me into a perfect slut."
Andrea sighed happily at the memory of the day when robyn's will broke completely, when even the subconscious resistance melted away and she became the perfect slave. "I kept alternating like that, physical stimulation and mental stimulation. It took the better part of a day, but by the end of it, robyn didn't even know how to come out of trance anymore. After that, it was all just a matter of training."
"And she doesn't notice the trigger at all?" Joan asked.
"Not consciously, no. She just obeys." Andrea rolled her eyes just a little at that. Surely Joan knew how post-hypnotic triggers worked by now? Anyway, it wasn't like she used many on robyn. She didn't need to. robyn anticipated her every desire now.
