A Measure Of Control Ch 09

Triggers and Warnings

Coercion, manipulation, mild gaslighting, incest, M/s dynamics, forced cooperation, bruising and beatings, nanites, medical implants, mentions of rape.

Mild spoilers;

Alex and Victoria consider themselves to be fundamentally good people, however they engage in flagrant manipulative and controlling behaviour. While Nora does eventually enjoy the situation, they should absolutely not be taken as role models and much of what they do in this story is abhorrently morally corrupt. This is not a story about good boundaries or consent, no matter how Alex or Victoria might try to frame it to themselves.

Authors note:

Thank you all for all the feedback I have had so far. It is welcome and pleasing. I would like to address one issue that has been repeated; that spending so long on your knees would be crippling. Many east Asian cultures kneel far more than we in the west. In Japan specifically the practice of Seiza is clear evidence that, while it takes practice (and it does have health risks), it is definitely not as damaging as fears would suggest. Nora is fit, healthy, and does a lot of yoga. This was by design to aid believe-ability. Victoria has been practising kneeling for many years. None the less, I admit I have stretched the plausible in places. As always, if you spot any continuity errors or formatting / grammar mistakes please let me know!

## Chapter Nine

Morning came and as usual Victoria was first up. Alex wondered if that would always be the case, given that women typically needed more sleep than men. He'd enjoy it while it lasted if not. Rather than going to look for her once he'd donned the clothes she'd laid out for him, he headed down to Nora's room and knocked.

"Breakfast will be on the table shortly. Get up."

"Urg... Yes Master." Came the moaned reply through the door.

Interesting, he thought. He'd have to look at her rules in a moment. Not that he would change anything, unless she vehemently objected she was about to get the M/s addon. If she didn't feel controlled now, she would then.

They'd wondered about installing it on Victoria first, but they'd been taking it slow and testing all sorts over the last few days; Victoria doing a lot of minor tweaks to obedience and core. It wasn't wasted work in the face of creating Nora a custom program either. The better they understood everything, the smoother it all ran, the less likely an issue came up when they weren't around to fix it.

The changes had made a huge difference to misinterpretations already. Victoria had also softened a lot of the minor control tweaks. Turns out as hot as it is to have zero control over your own body, it's actually really impractical to find yourself locked into a task that wasn't really meant as an order.

Putting the M/s addon on Nora would once again be rushing into things, but they were out of time. It had been wishful thinking that they could keep this up for more than a few days. Alex mused that it had at least been a soft introduction for Nora.

"Good morning pet." he said as he walked into the kitchen.

She was laying the table as was her usual. She looked up at him and smiled, carrying on with arranging cutlery.

"Would you like some help?" he asked. She nodded, so he gave her a hand laying out the food.

Once they were done they settled down in their usual seats and waited for Nora. Alex looking over Nora's rules and Victoria scrolling through some code. He wondered where she got the energy. Especially after last night.

They'd been sat for about five minutes when Nora arrived. She was dressed in her usual apparel of leggings and a t-shirt. As usual, in poorly matched colours, blue and red today. Her long blonde hair was cascading down her back from a high pony tail that swished slightly as she turned her head.

"Morning." Alex said as she came to the table.

"Good morning Master." She responded, promptly going red. "I really need you to cancel that rule Master." her shoulders slumped and she rolled her eyes at herself as she finished that sentence. Victoria was grinning again.

"Actually, I'm beginning to think we might have to install the M/s addon and lump the consequences." he replied.

Nora didn't say anything for a time while she loaded her plate with toast and buttered it. She was clearly thinking, or perhaps just emotionally processing. Alex let her think.

Eventually she looked at Victoria, "How are you getting on with the custom code?"

Victoria didn't say a word. She just looked at Alex.

"Only to answer her question." he said.

"You took her voice away?" Nora said incredulously, looking at Alex.

It was Victoria who answered, "That's his right, if he wishes. I've worked at the new code for hours, but it's not as much of a cut and paste job as I had hoped. I'm still at least a week off."

"Another week?" she said dejectedly, "I thought you'd written all this once before?"

Victoria went to reply but was pulled up short by the lack of pluralisation on Alex's previous permission. She looked at Alex again, who nodded and she was able reply, "It's complicated code, and I have to get it right. I get it wrong, and best case you wake up one morning paralysed because it crashed."

"Right." Nora said, "That makes sense...", she looked at Alex, "If I don't talk to someone soon they are going to know something's up Master." She paused for a moment and took a breath. The last few days had been an emotional roller coaster of insane highs and lows. She had to fight back tears for a second. "And I miss my friends. Hell, I'd even enjoy a call with mom right now. This house is a cage."

"I know." Alex said softly. "I'm so sorry this has happened. When we finish breakfast we'll go upstairs and put the M/s addon in place. Then you can have permission to go about your life almost unimpeded." He reached out and squeezed her hand, and looked encouragingly at her.

After a moment she nodded at him.

"Eat up." Alex said encouragingly. She wasn't overly hungry, but unfortunately for her an order was an order.

"Yes Master..." she said.

They ate in silence. Victoria by force, Alex and Nora because neither could find anything to say.

Alex spent the time trying to figure ways to repair his relationship with Nora. Nora was mostly trying to compose herself while she mechanically chewed her toast. She wasn't sure she wanted to know what the M/s addon was going to do to her, but at the same time she also couldn't deny that she'd woken up soaking wet and tried to get off again.

Highs

and lows...

---

With breakfast complete and the table cleared the three of them retired to the lab. Alex sat at his desk and Nora assumed the standing pose he had directed her on the night before. Victoria saw Nora's pose and decided she'd kneel off to one side.

It didn't take long, Alex loaded the complier and built and verified the addon package. Victoria had coached him through the setup of the addons over the last few days. They'd started having more discussions related to the actual use of the code than they'd ever had before.

The majority of the changes she had made since having real test subjects had been to dial back the strictness of the settings. Pain being one of many things they had been overzealous with in their kink fuelled coding sessions. This had been dialled down after a single test, though Alex had insisted it stay much higher than Victoria wanted. He argued that it was an excellent deterrent at the higher threshold.

Changes like that happened in the core package. It was mostly dedicated to protection. In the same way it wouldn't allow the obedience addon to prevent someone getting themselves food and water, it also wouldn't allow over zealous applications of pain and pleasure.

He sent the package to his phone, and uploaded it to Nora. Then he opened the control interface and typed in the command to set an 'owner', along with more login credentials.

Just before he pressed send he said to Nora, "I'm about to activate it. You're going to automatically tell me a randomly generated code, I'm going to repeat it back to you, and you'll be locked in to only obeying me. Questions?"

"Who's making the code?"

"The organoid will do it and make you say it."

She took a deep breath, shuddered, said "Ok, do it.", and squeezed her eyes closed.

Alex pressed the activate button. There was a moments pause and then Nora said "New owner code; spade, pasta, one, seven, soil."

Alex listened carefully and repeated it back. Nora replied with her eyes still screwed up, "New owner set."

"How do you feel?" Alex asked.

"Fine Master." Nora said, promptly followed by, "Ohhh." as a tiny frisson of pleasure passed over her clit. "Um, that's... new Master."

"What is?"

"A small... feeling Master. Ohhh." Another small flick across her clit.

Alex nodded, "The addon was designed to pleasure you for being obedient. I guess it classes replying to a question as being obedient."

"Isn't that superfluous Master? I can't disobey anyway."

"It's not meant to pleasure you for doing the task, it's meant to pleasure you when you obey. In theory if the obedience addon has to step in and force you, you don't get the pleasure."

"Is there anything else I need to be aware of Master?"

"The addon has a few functions I have no reason to use. The most important things for you to know about is the arousal and denial. You won't be able to cum unless you ask me, and you're going to keep getting stimulated."

"You already denied me Master." she said grouchily, "What are the other functions Master? Err... Am I going to have to call you Master in front of the family? How often does this thing make me say it? Practically every sentence Master?"

"We thought of that. But it's a separate addon, and we didn't give it due diligence yet... For now we will have to avoid talking to each other while you're on the phone. The honourifics are pretty prolific I'm afraid..." He paused for a second, "I'm not sure you want to know what the other functions do."

Nora was getting really horny now. She'd tried to deny it for the whole conversation but she was standing here, locked in place acting like a fuck toy, and she was starting to feel like one.

"Please," Nora said dismissively, "Master at this point nothing is really going to surprise me."

Victoria felt just about ready to explode with delight at the scene unfolding before her. If Nora wasn't right there she might have stuffed her hand down her panties by now. Her coercion code actually worked! They could pleasure someone with the nanites. This was going to be a next level sex toy.

Alex looked at Nora for a long, long moment, appraising how far he could push this. There was one function he'd had a solid hand in coming up with. It had been his idea and he'd always wanted to see it work. He looked across at Victoria for help, but she was useless, there was nothing but unbridled lust on her face.

Finally he looked Nora in the eyes, nodded, and said "I'll demonstrate one. Slave, high protocol." A grin he couldn't hide splitting his face.

As expected Nora said "Yes Master."

Immediately she began to strip off. She pulled her top over her head, and unclipped her bra. Her larger than average breasts falling free. She pushed her leggings and underwear down her slender legs. Once she was totally naked she folded all of her clothes into a neat stack and assumed a kneeling pose. Her chest heaved slightly as she started to breathe harder.

As usual her legs were far wider than Victoria could manage owing to her much greater flexibility. She picked up the stack of clothes, lowered her head and raised the stack up high in both hands.

Once she was settled she said "This slave is at your command Master."

Alex stood and took the clothes out of her upraised hands. As soon as they were gone from her grasp she placed her hands on her thighs in a classic nadu, trust out her chest, raised her head, and became almost motionless.

There wasn't a flicker on her face other than her eyes, which were currently huge. She was staring unblinkingly right at Alex. Her whole face and right down her chest was flushed red, but as is required by high protocol she was otherwise emotionless. She was starting to suck in more air, hopefully a response to the baseline stimulation.

He sat back down, "Slave, I would like a cup of tea."

"This slave does not know Master's preference, would it please Master to give this slave further instructions?"

"Strong, just milk."

"Yes Master." Nora said, and got gracefully up off the floor before walking out with swaying hips and a runway, one foot in front of the other, walk. Her hands now clasped behind her back, her chest still thrust proudly forward.

As soon as Alex thought she was out of ear shot he said to Victoria, "That was... Incredible."

Victoria looked at him from her knelt position and clearly wanted to say something.

"No." Alex said, "Actually, I forbid you from asking to speak, and from making any suggestion with body language that you want to speak either."

Victoria's shoulders slumped a bit at that.

"Still enjoying your creation pet?"

Victoria fixed her posture and nodded, her head bouncing up and down rapidly for a moment. She tilted her head slightly and smiled.

A few minutes later a nude, and still beautifully graceful Nora came hip swinging back into the room with a mug. She knelt down into the same pose that she'd used to hand over her clothes, and offered up the cup to her Master.

"Coding this to try and make the person act sexy all the time was a great idea. Nora your graceful movements are incredible." Alex said.

Nora didn't make a sound, or move, until Alex took the cup carefully out of her hands and put it on the side. By the time he turned back she was back nadu kneeling. The room was slowly filling with the scent of her arousal.

"Would you like to stop the demonstration now?" Alex asked her.

"This slave has no feelings on the matter Master." But her breathing was heavy and her eyes were still wide and locked on Alex.

He looked at Victoria with a grin, "You really did a number with this one pet." to Nora he said, "Slave, standard protocol."

The effect was instant. Nora put a hand over her breasts and another between her legs. She slammed her legs together with a slap, and tipped on her side.

For a moment Alex thought she was going to start sobbing. But the arm between her legs seemed to be practically vibrating and the other one was pinching a nipple hard.

Then he heard, "Please can I cum Master. Please. Please Master. I need to cum Master." coming out of her in a babbling stream.

"You can cum." he said immediately.

Her toes curled in, she pointed one long slim leg out straight, toes curling tightly inwards, and started keening as her orgasm tore through her. Her whole body spasmed repeatedly and her leg shook violently for a moment. The room filled with the sound of wet slapping for a moment before she flopped on her back and let out a massive breath. She lay there twitching for a good ten seconds before sucking that breath back in and starting to breathe again. She started breathing hard for a moment, before quickly getting her breathing under control. Nora was a runner and it showed.

After a moment she seemed to come back to herself. "Can I have my clothes please Master?"

"Go clean yourself up and come back." he said, putting her clothes down next to her.

"Yes Master." she said, and walked out still naked. Alex watched her go, she was beautiful, pale, graceful, and hella cute. As she walked down the hall to the bathroom she still had a hand between her legs.

---

Nora's head was in a spin. What had started as a panic inducing override of her every whim and will had culminated in one of, if not the, strongest orgasm of her life. She didn't know what to think. Master had warned her that she might not want to know what else the new code did... he might have been right.

She thought, she hoped, there wasn't much more they could throw at her. But the way things had been going, she would no longer be surprised if she was wrong. She could still feel the afterglow of the massive orgasm, and she'd gotten another tickle of her clit when she got up to go wash herself.

Master was going to have to be extra careful about ordering her around now.

'Fuck, thinking of him as Alex is about to get harder.' she thought

A whole new 'list' had joined the rules in her mind, and right at the forefront was an imprint of Alex with 'This is your Master.' engraved on it. She could never forget how he took his tea now. Not while the M/s code was there anyway. It apparently stored that kind of information.

Not for the first time; probably not for the last time either, she thought 'Fuck, but Victoria really has thought of everything.' Though she supposed she'd had a long time to do so...

As soon as she'd settled into kneeling the nanites had started a fire between her legs. Victoria had apparently decided the 'high protocol' function should drive the slave mad with need. The pair of them seeing her naked again quickly became almost an afterthought to the power of the sensations.

By the time Alex had sent her to make tea and she had walked to the top of the stairs she was already on the edge of cumming. As soon as she peaked the organiod dialled back the intensity to stop her going over the edge.

With zero control over any of her limbs she was total unable to do anything to give herself even slightly more stimulation. She was convinced it wouldn't have taken more than a few strokes to finish herself off. But she was instead forced into the kitchen and began making Alex his drink.

The kettle had never taken so long to boil. She spent the whole time locked in place cursing the ancient bit of technology, and her family for not having a boil tap in the holiday house. She needed this to be over. The nanites were mercilessly overstimulating her at this point, the hysteresis of them oscillating the power up and down to get her to the edge had faded into a single not-quite-buzzing intensity that was holding her right at the precipice.

Sheer desperation had set in by the time she was stirring the tea bag in the cup. Her thoughts having turned simply to getting this fucking cup into her Masters hands as quickly as possible and ending this insanity. She thought perhaps the nanites would be the only thing keeping her standing by the time she got back upstairs.

A few minutes later when she knelt back down to hand over the cup she was close to being right. When Alex had released her and she'd stuck her hand between her legs in front of the two of them she'd been far to desperate to care about being watched. Finding she still had to ask even after all that, she was pretty sure she had just babbled incoherently, but Alex seemed to understand.

The moment he'd said yes the world had gone black, her eyes rolling back in her head. She'd thought she was about to give herself carpet burn from the shaking she was sure was happening. The blood came rushing back to her head as she came down from the screaming orgasm that had torn through her, reverberating from head to toe and back again.

In the aftermath, while walking to the bathroom she was mortified at being such a wanton whore. She gave a little shiver at the memory of the total loss of bodily control she'd just experienced.

She got herself cleaned up, her hands shaking slightly and her legs kinda wobbly. She got the hands under control easily enough, but the legs seemed to be part of her post orgasm rush.

As she came back into the lab Alex was blowing on his tea to cool it while Victoria was still knelt where she'd parked herself. She wasn't sure if Alex had ordered her to kneel this morning or if Victoria was just feeling extra submissive because she couldn't speak. He seemed to be lent forward in a vain attempt to hide his erection again. Honestly, why bother when it's that obvious?
