I was stretched out on a lounge chair next to Millie's pool, trying to tan, when I felt something block the sun. Her idiot brother, Nick, was standing over me. I forgot he had moved back in with his parents after dropping out of college. Nick was saying something to me, but I couldn't hear him with my AirPods in my ears. I took one out, even though I had no interest in listening to him stumble through making a pass at me.
"...you lately. What have you been up to?" he was saying. Nicholas was not subtle about checking me out. His eyes scanned up and down my body and it was honestly so creepy. For a minute, I wished I had on like a full fucking jumpsuit, instead of my tiny bikini. Then I decided I would rather just make him leave so I could get back to tanning without being leered at.
"I'm sorry?" I asked, not even trying to hide how much I loathed him.
"Uh, I just haven't seen you since you and Millie graduated. We miss having you over," he said. While he was talking, Nick was drinking in the sight of my body. His gaze tracked down my abs and rested on my string bikini bottoms for a moment. God, I wanted to take a shower when he looked at me like that. No doubt he was saving a mental image to take upstairs to his bedroom after this little conversation. Maybe he liked to imagine me spreading my legs for him and begging him to fuck me with his cock that was probably the size of my pinky finger.
"My eyes are up here, Nick," I said.
"Sorry, I was just thinking," his mouth stretched into a grin that he probably thought was charming. It wasn't.
I made a move to put my AirPod back in. I was done with this conversation and about to tell Nicholas to get lost. He would have to do it, too. Nick would do whatever I said. He didn't know it yet, but I can compel people to do anything with just a simple command. Maybe it was time Nick learned there are consequences to being a perv.
"Hey, I was looking for Millie. Do you know where she is?" he said.
"I think Derek took her out shopping."
"Again?" he scoffed, "God, that guy is pussy whipped. He must be spending his entire paycheck on her. He's been buying her so much shit lately."
Derek was spending all his money on Millie, thanks to my influence. I had pulled him aside and told him that he should be treating her like a princess. Since that little convo, he had been very well-behaved. And Derek knew that if he put even a toe out of line, we would be having another chat. One that he would find a lot less pleasant. "Your sister deserves a man who spoils her," I told Nick.
He laughed, "No one wants a man like that. You watch, Millie will get bored and dump him by the end of the month. Women are all the same."
I looked up at him, a slight smile crossing my lips. I decided not to send Nick away just yet. First, I would like to teach him a lesson about how to treat the women in his life. "What do you know about women, Nick?"
"I've seen how they, uh..." he stammered, flailing about for a clever response.
"Here let me show you how to talk to a woman," I cut him off, swinging my legs off the chair and facing him. Once again he shamelessly looked my body up and down. What a pig, I thought.
"On your knees," I told him. I made my voice steely and firm and utterly impossible to resist, especially for poor Nick.
Nick's legs folded underneath him and he dropped to his knees in front of me. He had barely a moment to register what I had done to him when I decided that being on his knees was too good for Nick. "Actually, Nick," I gestured with one finger at the ground. His body lurched forward, dropping him face down on the patio. "Maybe you better grovel," I suggested.
With his face smushed into the concrete, Nick started blubbering. It was pathetic. "I'm sorry, Ash! I'm so sorry! I won't look at you again. What did you do to me? How are you doing this?"
I rested my foot on the back of his head. "I'm doing you a favor, Nick. I'm teaching you how to behave around women." Beneath my feet, Nick was letting out a low groan. He had no idea what was going on, but he sure seemed miserable. "Quiet, Piggy." I told him. He shut up instantly.
"You know what women want, Nick? They want creeps like you to leave them alone."
Nick couldn't make a sound, so he tried nodding his head from his spot on the ground underneath my feet. I pressed my foot down on his head until he stopped. "Uh uh," I said, "you're not getting off that easily." I took my foot off his head. "Go grab the hose." Nick leapt to his feet at my command. He looked shocked to find that he was not in control of his own body. A single word or gesture and I could make him do anything.
