Conditioning Niki
John quietly works his way behind the bleachers until he can partially see up Niki's skirt. That isn't exactly why he is here, but it is a nice bonus. John pauses a moment to enjoy the view.
Niki (Nichole to their professors) is a cheerleader, with all of the physical attributes that implies. Her 5' 1", 98 lb body always puts her at the top of whatever pyramid the cheerleaders are doing. Despite her size, she is never mistaken for a young girl. Her narrow waist, flat stomach, generous hips, and "C" cup breasts give her a lovely hourglass figure. Red hair and blue eyes finish out a devastatingly desirable package.
John and Niki are both juniors at a moderate size University. He has desired Niki ever since they shared Psych 101 as freshmen. Unfortunately, John's low social status means that Niki has never really even noticed him.
John's appearance is very bland and unremarkable. His most distinguishing feature is paleness from too many hours spent in physics laboratories. He has put all that lab time to good use, however. Today, he is finally ready to begin conditioning Niki to be his lover and slave.
Once John manages to drag his eyes away from Niki's thighs, he attaches his invention to the bleachers directly under her. His invention is the size and shape of an old cell phone. It also has the same sort of numeric keypad as an old cell phone. Its purpose is simple. It directly stimulates the brain's pleasure center. It has settings for 1 to 10. Level 1 is mildly pleasant. Level 4 is similar to eating food that you are craving. Level 7 is similar to an orgasm from really great sex. Level 10 is the maximum and most people go their entire lives without feeling pleasure that intense. The device can be set for continuous stimulation with the # button or pulsed with a push of the * button. It can operate both modes at once, allowing a higher or lower level pulse to be given during continuous stimulation.
Right now, John is "tuning" the device to Niki's brain. This involves leaving it within 8 feet of her alone for 10 minutes. The device's range is 8 feet. Once the device is tuned, it will affect only Niki's brain.
Niki is taking a break during Sunday afternoon cheerleading practice. The rest of the cheerleaders are trying to learn a new formation. Niki won't be added to the top until the rest of the cheerleaders have their new positions learned. This gives John and his device the 10 minutes they need.
John and Niki share 2 classes this semester. Niki is a business major. John is a physics major. He is taking some business classes, however, mainly to be near Niki.
On Monday, he arrives early to their first shared class. He sits one row in front of and one row to the left of Niki's usual seat. This puts his seat is about 6 feet from hers.
John always brings his laptop to class. He has modified the built in camera. He can now change its direction enough to show Niki's seat in a small screen window. This allows him to observe her without turning around.
Just before class starts, Niki hurries in and heads to her usual spot, between two of her Sorority sisters. She glances at John briefly while walking past him. He uses his device to give her a level 3 pulse of pleasure. She jerks to a stop briefly before proceeding to her seat. John sets the device on level 2 continuous for the rest of class. She glances at him once during class while passing some papers and John gives her another level 3 pulse.
He begins sitting just in front of and to the left of Niki during both of their shared classes. Niki receives a level 2 continuous stimulation throughout class with a level 3 pulse every time she looks at John. By Wednesday, she is glancing at him more and more often. She has a puzzled smile each time.
On Thursday, during their first class, he sits one seat farther to the left. He is now one row in front of and two rows to the left of Niki's usual seat. This puts her seat out of his device's range. Niki enters the class room and then pauses just before sitting in her seat. She looks around for John. He fakes a yawn and stretches his arms out and backwards as far as they can go. This puts his right hand, with the device, close enough to give Niki a level 3 pulse. Once John sits back up straight, Niki is out of range. She does not receive the level 2 continuous stimulation during class and she misses it. She spends the class period looking uncomfortable and fidgeting.
During their second shared class, John again sits one row in front of and two rows to the left of Niki's usual seat. Niki stops right before sitting down in her usual seat and again looks for John. He repeats his fake yawn and stretch to give her a level 3 pulse. After receiving the pulse, Niki moves one row to the left and sits diagonally behind John.
Niki's sorority sisters are surprised by her seat change and ask her why she moved. She replies with an offhand "I just felt like it".
Niki's move puts her back in range of John's device. She receives a level 2 continuous stimulation throughout class with a level 3 pulse every time she looks at John. She spends most of the class staring at the back of his head with a dreamy expression.
During their two Friday classes, John sits in two completely different places. Each time Niki moves to sit one row behind and to the right of John. Niki's sorority sisters don't move with her. This upsets Niki, but not enough to skip the level 2 continuous stimulation.
On Saturday evening, everyone attends the football game. Niki is there early. She wants time to chat with some of her Sorority sisters before the game starts. Just before she has to go down to the field with the rest of the cheerleaders, John stops by her group.
"Niki?"
She glances over her shoulder at John and automatically says "Hi". She starts to turn back to her friends and then does a double-take. John gives her a level 4 pulse. Niki's eyes go wide in surprise and she unconsciously steps towards John. He turns the pulse into continuous level 4 stimulation. Her Sorority sisters step back to express their distaste for associating with someone like John.
"Niki, I'm glad to see you. I misplaced my notes about the reading assignment for Accounting. May I have a copy of your notes?" John spent all day rehearsing this conversation. He can say his lines without much concentration. This is good because most of his mental effort is being spent on keeping his eyes from straying down to Niki's chest in her cheerleading uniform.
Niki is somewhat dazed by the constant level 4 stimulation. "Ummm, sure, I guess."
"Great. I want to have it read by Monday. Speaking of Monday, have you learned all of those organizational charts for Business Management? Monday's test is worth a big part of our grades for the semester."
"I know. I can't believe that we actually have to draw them out for the test. I am so not a visual learner."
"I am not really a visual learner either, but I did find a good way to memorize them all. Since you are being so nice about letting me copy your notes, how about I show you my trick for leaning all of those organizational charts? I can meet you in the Library by the copy machines tomorrow after your cheerleading practice. Will you do that?"
The level 4 pleasure makes Niki feel very agreeable. "Yeah, sure."
"Great. I'll see you tomorrow in the library after practice. Oh, look out." John touches her arm to shift her out of the way of some people passing by. Niki realizes that John did it as an excuse to touch her. Before she can call him on it however, John turns his device up to level 5. She closes her eyes and shudders in response. She doesn't realize that he has gone until he and his device go out of range. She reluctantly heads down to the field to begin cheering for the game.
For John, the hours seem to crawl by until Sunday afternoon. He arrives at cheerleading practice shortly after it starts and sits up in the bleachers. He pretends to read a book, rather than openly gawk at the cheerleaders. No one is fooled. Niki sees John arrive. She keeps looking at him and expecting to feel something. She starts to think that something is wrong but can't really define what it is. She gets distracted by trying to catch his attention and gets dirtier than usual from falling. By the end of practice, she is very worried that something is wrong.
