This is a different kind of story for me. I hope you like it. There is some incest. If you like it, vote. Fives are nice.

I had come to town to check out the local university. I thought I might try to enroll to complete my PhD. It turned out to be a big deal that would take several weeks or longer. I looked in the collage paper for "room mates wanted." What I found was "roomer wanted in private home. Large bedroom with private bath. " No price was given and no other details. I called the telephone number provided.
"Hello, I am calling about your room."
"Tell me about yourself?"
"I'm a doctoral candidate at the university and I need a room for awhile."
"Thank you for the information. I am a young widow with two adult children and I have to be careful. Would you like to see the room? I am going to be very reasonable."
"Sure, give me the address."
The house was at the edge of town off the main highway down a dirt road. It was a very pretty house, I estimated about 3500 square feet. I rang the chimes. A very attractive woman who appeared to be about thirty five answered the door.
"You are the man who is the doctoral candidate?"
"Yes, that's me. I am Mike Sanders."
"Hello, I am Felicia Long." She extended her hand. We shook hands. The room was on the second floor and was very nice. Felicia lived with her eighteen year old twins, a daughter and a son. They had just started the university. They were both studying psychology.
I agreed to take the room and began planning how I could take Felicia and her daughter with my hypnosis. I was a master hypnotist and I loved the challenge of taking control of unsuspecting people and making them into my playthings. Felicia would be a fun adventure conquering her and her children.
After I agreed to take the room Felicia invited me for coffee in the kitchen. It was one of those very modern kitchens with all the gadgets. There was a built in booth where we sat and had our coffee.
Felicia's husband died in an automobile accident two years ago. She appeared to be financially secure. She had been married for sixteen years. She married young. She made a point of that. I asked her to show me around and she did. Her bedroom was down the hall from the kitchen and the twins had two rooms across from my room on the second floor.
I made up a story about myself. I did tell her that my training was in abnormal psychology. She seemed very interested. She told me that since her husband died she was sleeping less and napping every day at about three in the afternoon. I think she was looking for me to comment on that. I didn't. I filed the information in the back of my brain to use later. At about six o'clock the twins came home. The girl was Whitney and the boy was Walter. She was petite and very pretty, he was about five feet ten inches and very brawny. We all sat down in the den and talked.
The twins were very interested in my experience with abnormal psychology. They had just started psych and didn't know anything. I did not discuss hypnosis with them.
Felicia invited me to have dinner with them. I accepted and told her that if that gets to be a habit I should pay more. She just laughed. Dinner was grilled salmon, potatoes, salad and vegetables. A very full meal. Enough to get you sleepy.
"You know, a full meal like this can make you drowsy."
"Mike, you are right. Every night after Mom's dinners I feel sluggish" That from Walter.
"I do too, Walter." That was Whitney. We were having the conversation while Felicia was doing the dishes.
"You know guys, I can train your bodies to stay alert until you go to bed."
In unison. "How do you do that?"
"By applying principals of abnormal psychology To make the brain ignore the additional glucose and food digesting which is what causes the malaise."
Again in unison. "Could you show us?"
"Sure, come into my room later. I'm going to go up and read for awhile."
Forty five minutes later there was a knock on my door. "Now can you show us how we can stay alert?"
"Yep, you have to relax first and then you gain control of your mind and body. Come in and sit on the bed."
They came in and lounged on my king side bed. "We start with deep breathing exercises." The better to develop hyperventilation.
"Both of you take one hundred breaths as deep as you can."
I watched them take the deep breathes. It was effecting Whitney more than Walter. She looked like she was ready to faint. "Walter, concentrate on your breathing. Close your eyes and picture yourself weight lifting. I was certain he was a lifter. He closed his eyes. Now it was working on him also. Soon they both stopped deep breathing and laid on the bed with their eyes closed.
"Now both of you imagine yourselves running through the fields as fast as you can. When you feel totally exhausted raise your right hand." After about five minutes they both raised their arms. Their eyes were still closed. Now listen closely. After every meal you will have a moment when you feel like you are passing out. That will quickly pass and you will feel totally refreshed unless I tell you differently. When I tell you, you will open your eyes feeling totally refreshed. Open your eyes."
They did. "How do you feel?"
They spoke in unison "very refreshed."
"Do you guys always speak that way?"
"Frequently."
"Well, I have to hit the sack, I'll see you tomorrow." They had no comment on my instructions.
I think it worked. Now I had to deal with Felicia.
The next day I made a point of being in the house when Felicia announced she was taking a nap. She went into her room and lay down. She did not close the door. I watched her. She was sleeping on her back. As luck would have it she snored. I walked into her room and put my mouth next to her right ear. "Felicia, stay sleep and deepen your sleep. Deeper and deeper. I spoke slowly and with my deepest voice. Your whole body is in a deep restful sleep. When you wake up you will feel very refreshed."
I watched her as her body relaxed. Her facial muscles became lax. "When ever you are around me you will go back to sleep if I tell you to sleep. You will now go into a deep sleep and wake in an hour feeling totally refreshed."
I left the room. In about an hour she came out of the room. I was sitting in the kitchen.
"I had the strangest dream. I dreamed you were talking to me. I don't remember what you said."
"That's strange. Maybe I said 'go to sleep'" She started to crumble. I had her. I picked her up and put her in one of the chairs.
"Go into a deep, deep, trance. Your whole body is relaxed ane your trance is very deep. I will count to one hundred and with each number your trance will get deeper. How do you feel?"
"Very relaxed." I did a couple more counting exercises and then told her to wake up at the count of three.
She opened her eyes and seemed confused. "I don't remember sitting here. I'm feeling funny. Did you do something?" She was looking at me with a quizzical expression.
"Sleep." She again became limp. She sprawled in the chair.
"When you wake you will feel comfortable, secure and wonderful. You will not think about how you got in the chair." When I woke her she looked much more secure.
"I'm feeling wonderful. Would you like to have dinner with us tonight?"
"Okay, but I have to pay if we keep this up." Felicia busied herself making another large dinner. This time lamb chops.
The twins came home at the same time and we ate at about seven o'clock. After we finished eating I watched them carefully. They both closed their eyes and started to slump in their seats.
I walked behind them and said: "go into a deep trance, let yourselves relax completely." They both slumped back into their seats. Felicia had been putting dishes into the sink. She returned just as the twins were slumping in their seats.
"Felicia sleep."
I caught her before she fell on the floor. "When I tell you, you will waken feeling wonderful. After the dishes are done you will suggest to the twins that we all have desert in the den. We will all gather in the den." I did not waken her.
I went to the twins. "Your trance is going deeper and deeper. You are now under my complete control. You will do everything I tell you and it will make you feel very good." I could do this with an eighteen year old. They are very suggestible. I wouldn't try it on an older person without a great deal more conditioning. The result is the same, it just takes more time and a"work around." I woke them all and we went into the den.
"Felicia, how are you feeling?"
"Fine, Mike why do you ask?"
"Just curious. Whitney and Walter have you learned anything about hypnosis in your psych class?"
