It was the same boring route as Bobby always took back from the university, home from an average, boring-ass day of math and science classes, head full of the same sort of boring lectures from the same boring professors. The path through the park was entirely unchanged, even down to the flock of birds at the pond, the same elderly couple feeding them bread crumbs and popcorn.
"Hi Mr. and Ms. Smithe!" Bobby yelled, waving to the old man and woman sitting at the park bench. They waved back without hollering. Bobby decided they were probably discussing amongst themselves what a nice boy he was...an image Bobby was tired of, but felt sadly trapped in.
Across the pond, jogging down the concrete path the bordered it, Bobby could see Jessica Larson, his next-door neighbor, jogging along in a pair of mylar short-shorts and a sports bra, looking every bit the picturesque blonde bombshell she had since their freshman year together. He didn't even bother waving to her; to her, Bobby had been invisible ever since she'd begun to develop tits, and she didn't pay him much mind before that, either. He just walked along, watching her jog out of the corner of his eye, occasionally locking his gaze onto that bouncing rack, being careful not to stare too long, lest she notice.
When she'd jogged out of sight, Bobby left the path through the park and started across it, through the wooded area that stood between that corner of the park and Bobby's neighborhood. He'd taken this route every day since he'd started attending the local city university, never deviating, not even the slightest bit. He was pleased to see that nothing had changed, all the rocks and trees were still in place, the pinecone he'd kicked the other day was still resting against the stump of a tree trunk...
...
wait, what...what was that?
Bobby did a double-take, forcing himself to stop, double back, and look again at the massive tree stump, for there was some irregularity there, something that hadn't been in all the months he'd walked this way, something new...
couldn't be what I thought I saw...
But sure enough, there she lay, splayed across the grass that grew before the stump. She was exquisitely beautiful, reminded Bobby right away of an actress...or maybe a porn star. Yes, that was closer to mark, for there was something decidedly wicked about her. Her skin was a light mocha, her hair a raven-black. The garment she wore amounted to little more than a few strips of black leather lashing together a pair of enormous tits, criss-crossing over the nipples, and folding between her legs. Strips of it also wrapped a pattern down both her long legs, and webbed between her toes, looped around them. She rose slowly to her feet, seeming to float up, rising on thin air. She was easily 6 feet tall,Bobby saw when she stood, with the body of an athlete, rock-hard abdominal muscles adorned with a diamond stud in her belly button.
Bobby had no idea where she came from, who she was, or why in the hell she was ever-so-slowly slinking towards him, all he knew was that this strangely exotic woman was probably the most gorgeous one he'd ever laid his eyes on.
She padded across the grass on those delicate feet, stopping a few feet short of Bobby. Her eyes were the color of roaring campfires and golden sunsets, and even as Bobby was becoming lost in them, mesmerized, this incredible woman spoke to him.
"Bobby, finally...I've been waiting for you." Her voice was pitched low, and had a sort of grisliness to it...it reminded Bobby of a middle-aged smoker's, only somehow much more...tawdry. Much more...seductive. "We don't have much time. I know you will have questions, many questions, but for now all I can tell you...is that we need your help."
No fucking way is this happening. That's it. I've snapped. Psychotic break.
But even as Bobby flooded his conscious mind with denial, a nagging doubt in his subconscious provoked him into taking her words seriously.
The woman stepped closer to him, and closer, reaching out for and grasping Bobby by the wrists. Her face hovered so close to his he could feel her breath on his cheeks as she spoke. "I need you...to take something for me. Something sacred. You mustn't show it to anyone, for if this artifact were to fall into the wrong hands...it could destroy everything you know and love."
Bobby nodded, trying desperately to work his rational mind around this, but coming up short. So he remained silent, and listened on. The insatiable beauty reached between her more-than-ample breasts, and from between her cleavage, she pulled out something small, golden, with a hint of glittering red...a ring, Bobby saw, and a pretty one at that. "This Ring is the key to completing our mission and freeing my people," she told him, extending it out to him, obviously intending for him to take it. "I need you to charge it for me, I am unable to do it myself." Bobby must've looked more than a little confused, so the exotic beauty clarified: "It's fairly simple, really. The Ring harnesses human impulses, and collects the energies generated when the basest of those impulses are carried out."
Bobby took the ring in one palm, looked down at it, then back up at her, opened his mouth to ask a question...
And as if reading his thoughts, she answered it for him before he could utter it. "The Ring will respond to the commands of its wearer," she said. "It shouldn't take you long to adapt to its usage. Once the Ring has received a command, it will simulate the onset of the impulse you've commanded. Simply...use your thoughts to direct this impulse into the mind of a fellow human being...and that human being will act upon it, no matter how contrary to their usual behavior it may be."
Bobby stood there looking at her for a long minute, then, before asking, "Okay, wait, wait...let's boil this down: you're telling me that this Ring...this one right here, this ring of yours, grants its user...some sort of mind control powers?"
The goddess-in-flesh nodded slowly, saying, "Precisely. And each time an act of a primitive nature is carried out, the Ring will store a charge proportionate to the level of...well, of carnality that act carried with it."
Bobby opened his mouth to ask another question, but the woman silenced him, putting one finger to his lips, and said, "We haven't time now, I must go. If they discover me here, it may jeopardize everything. You will discover the Ring's powers in due time. When we meet again, I will explain things to you further."
And without another word, the magnificent beauty turned and pranced into a thicket of trees. Bobby followed her in, and was unsuprised to find that she'd utterly vanished. And so, with the images of her curves, barely contained by a few thin strips of rawhide, Bobby began making his way home again, an uncomfortable semi-erection stifling his stride as he went.

When our hero emerged from the woods and onto the sidewalk of his neighborhood, Bobby had almost forgotten about his strange encounter already...or, at least, he'd put it to the back of his mind. The strange woman, the ring, it all seemed like some sort of dream, or maybe a hallucination. He reached in his pocket, and pulled that ruby Ring out, examined it.
