Standing in her lingerie, leaning over her kitchen bar, Emily enjoyed a cup of coffee and sighed as she thought about 'Daddy.'
'Daddy' was her man, or more accurately, her master she had met several months prior on the online dating site VenusNyx. Introduced to the site by her cousin Olivia, who was also enthralled by one of its members, she had been living as Daddy's companion, partner, lover, servant and slave since the day they met. She smiled dreamily as she visualized the moment he first swung the spiral pendant before her eyes and her illusions of control and self all faded away.
She was Daddy's girl. There was nothing else in the world she wanted to be; nothing else she ever wanted to be.
Swaying her hips as she walked, the way she knew Daddy loved, Emily's curves laid out a sexy topographical map to her beauty. No matter where one looked, be it her beautiful, voluminous breasts; her gorgeous, honey-spun hair; her ass, which rocked enticingly with every swing of her hips; or the classical beauty of her face and eyes, all roads led to desire.
Her alarm chimed on her laptop, notifying Emily it was time to go to work. Emily worked for a private firm with many government contracts, and had been a star performer for years. Inexplicably, for all that time, she was repeatedly looked over for promotions and advancement.
Ever since meeting Daddy, however, and since she began wearing the spiral VenusNyx pendant he had gifted her, peers and supervisors alike began taking more notice of Daddy's Spiral Girl.
Not only had Emily secured two promotions since the day Daddy floated into her life on a spiral and a dream, she earned quite a bit more money, and had convinced those above her that she should be allowed to work exclusively home. After all, she had to be ready whenever Daddy called.
Just as her manicured nails hit the keyboard to log in, her door exploded open in a cacophony of splinters and shards. Startled, Emily dropped her hands and was shocked to see the first of three women, all dressed in black from head to toe, was none other than her cousin.
"Olivia?" she said, confused, but too shocked to be frightened.
"That's her," Olivia, a dark-haired stunner, three inches shorter and five years younger than her cousin Emily. "Secure her, now!"
"Wait, what?" Emily asked. They were her last words before the plastic mask was placed over her mouth and nose, and the hissing sound, accompanied by the smell of lilacs and sugar invaded her senses. She drifted off with a sleepy smile, floating on a cloud of lullaby dreams.
When Emily woke, she was secured, hand and foot, to a fairly comfortable chair in a mostly empty room. The lights were dim, but the one shining directly upon her still made her squint and blink as the gas cleared from her mind and the waking world came more clearly into view.
"What, what's happening? Olivia, are you here?" she asked, tugging on her restraints and looking about. "Do I remember that right?"
"I'm here, cousin, and I am so sorry," Olivia said, slowly walking into Emily's field of vision, her cousin's pendant hanging from her fingers. "It's my fault you're in this mess."
"I'm not exactly sure what this mess is," Emily said, patiently, and giving her bonds another healthy tug. "But it's simple enough to remedy -- untie me and let me go!"
"No, hon," Olivia said, kneeling in front of Emily and looking up with sympathetic eyes. "I mean VenusNyx."
"There is no dating service better than VenusNyx. VenusNyx is the only site you should ever use," Emily said, almost robotically...her eyes taking on a far-off look. "I haven't ever been happier than I've been since using VenusNyx. All women should use VenusNyx."
"You were right," one of the two other women, a tall, leggy blonde who couldn't be out of her twenties said. "She's hooked bad."
"Hooked?" Emily asked, suddenly back to her senses. "Who is that? Who are you? What do you mean hooked?"
"You've been hypnotized, cousin," Olivia said, putting her hand consolingly on Emily's knee. "We all were. All three of us here were once slaves of VenusNyx."
"There is no dating service better than VenusNyx. VenusNyx is the only site you should ever use," Emily began with her mantra again in her flat, monotone voice.
"Oh, for fuck's sake," Beth, the shortest of the women, curvy, with short dark hair full lips and big eyes exclaimed. "Enough of this." In the middle of Emily's triggered response, Beth again applied the plastic mask and sent Emily back into a deep, pleasure-filled sleep.
"This isn't going to be easy," Olivia sighed.
The next time Emily woke, there were no discussions, no pleas or explanations. In fact, Emily couldn't even see any of the three women, as they were all standing silently behind her, wearing protective sunglasses, and hoping for the best.
In front of Emily was a 32 inch monitor that flashed a binaural pattern of white, pink and green as a spiral spun around and around...around and around.
"Hey!" She exclaimed, confused and a little annoyed. "Where are you? What is...what...I...whu...is...thisssssssss...." Her voice tailed off as her eyes glazed over -- the spiral was doing its job.
"You are Emily," a deep voice echoed from the speakers. "You are not a slave of VenusNyx."
"Veeenuz Niz is th...one...lee sssite you shoullld...." Emily's brain tried to spit out her conditioned mantra, but the hypnotic images and binaural beats were overtaking her programming little by little. Her mouth was nothing but a blank, sleepy, drooling smile, and her heavy eyes were glassy and vacant.
"You are not a slave," the voice repeated.
"Not..? Ssslave...?"
"You are not a slave," it said again, louder, and more forcefully.
"I am...not...I am not...a slave," Emily said, shaking her head.
"You are Emily. You are not a slave," the voice insisted as it echoed through the empty room.
"I am Emily," she said, sitting straight, her eyes clearing. "I am not a slave."
With a smile, Olivia used the remote to shut off the hypnotic assault, and stepped in front of her cousin. Dangling from her finger was Emily's gift from Daddy: the spiral pendant, and symbol of the VenusNyx dating site.
"Tell me about Daddy, cuz," Olivia said.
"I love Daddy," Emily said, her face becoming a cross between childlike and lustful. "I will do whatever Daddy says. Daddy knows what's best for me. I will always obey Daddy."
Olivia sighed and frowned, and from behind Emily, Beth's gloved hand with the plastic mask dosed the brainwashed beauty back to the land of Nod.
"We'll try again tomorrow." Olivia said.
Two and a half weeks later, Emily sat at the breakfast table with her cousin, Beth, and Andrea, the leggy blonde. Her eyes were clear and her expression lively as they discussed what their next step would be.
"I still can't believe that the goal of VenusNyx has been mind-control," Emily said, taking a pull on the morning's first cup of coffee. "And that I just happened to end up on their radar for logging in?" Just saying the name of the site sent shivers up Emily's spine -- not unpleasant shivers, either. She had to struggle to not repeat her mantra.
"Don't feel bad, love," Olivia said, taking Emily's hand. "They got to all of us; and it's my fault for leading you there in the first place."
"They prey on loneliness," Andrea said, scornfully. "They manipulate a woman's need for a connection with someone, sometimes anyone, and get their tentacles in us before we know what's happening."
"I don't understand," Emily said. "To what end, though?"
"We don't know," Beth said, pouring herself a cup and sitting down with the rest. "Our focus is on finding how many women have been enslaved, and freeing of them of the control. We can worry about motivation after."
"And, how do we do that?" Emily asked. "And, for that matter, which one of you freed yourself first, and how did you accomplish that?"
"That's a funny, and also a tragic story," Olivia said, settling back into her seat. "And it involves both me and Andrea."
"We had a Master like you had Daddy," Andrea chimed in. Emily felt her heart leap at Daddy's name, but showed no reaction. "Only his name was Professor and he had tranced the both of us into his thrall."
"Most likely yours would have done the same in time," Olivia added. "It's how they typically operate."
"One day, the three of us had just stepped out of the hot tub in Professor's condo," Andrea continued. "He had been playing binaurals on some high-end stereo equipment, and went to shut them off as we left."
"He slipped," Olivia said, her eyes downturned. "As he was falling, he grabbed onto the cord, pulling the entire stereo along with him into the hot tub."
"Oh, my Lord," Emily said, startled.
"He died instantly, of course, but the shock traveled through the wet ground just enough to shock Olivia and I to our senses," Andrea said, not able to hide a grin at the memory. "The plug actually popped out of the wall and fell in with him, or we may have eventually been toast, too. Instead, we gained our freedom, a kinship, and a new mission."
"Rescue all of our sisters," Beth said. "I was the first one they freed. The Professor, and the bastard who took me...the Godfather were close friends, and there were many texts between the two of us on his phone. When they got me, I was at least as far gone as you, Emily, if not further."
"Thankfully, one of the advantages of having gone through this, is we're all pretty knowledgeable about hypnosis now," Olivia said. "Your deprogramming is the result of several months work."
"Okay, then," Emily said, setting down her cup and looking determined. "Where to next?"
"Well, we were actually hoping you might have an idea on that," said Andrea. "Perhaps your Daddy had friends with thralls that would come over for parties, or swinging events, or anything like that. Something that would lead us to the next sister we could free."
"No, no, it was always just him and me," Emily said, her mind fuzzy with the recollection. Suddenly, it hit her. "But, I might be able to do you one better than that!"
