Edie sat across from her client, keeping her excitement in-check as her client read over her the specifics of her proposal. She'd spent a solid hour on this meeting, convincing this bank that her advertising service was exactly what they needed. Skeptical clients never made it easy, but they were eventually convinced. Everyone in the room stood up and Edie and the client shook hands.
Another sale made, another notch on her designer belt. Her charm and charisma for work could help her sell ice cubes to South Pole penguins. She walked out of the meeting room feeling giddy. She wanted to take a victory lap around somewhere, or someone maybe. Will came to mind, thinking he'd be good to celebrate with, or something quick with Emil, Ronald, or Robert. She understood the stigma around being the cheating fiancée, or the mistress for a married man, but she honestly couldn't bring herself to care about the consequences. Consequences required being found out in the first place.
She was thinking about calling Ronald to see if he was busy. Her 'shy boy' was a ways away uptown, but it might not be hard to get him over to her. However, she stepped into her office to find she already had company, a woman waiting for her. She looked a slightly older woman, but quite attractive. Auburn hair, pleasant smile, dressed similar to Edie but with a navy color scheme of pumps, stockings, matching skirt and jacket over a white blouse. The Newton's cradle on her desk was sounding off, making Edie think the woman maybe hadn't been there long. The woman stood tall, and both women silently observed each other. Edie held a confused smile on her face, and the confusion grew parallel to the grin the older-looking woman couldn't hold back.
"I hear you're quite the salesman."
Edie took in the dulcet tone of her words and wondered if she was dealing with a client, or another salesman. Everything about her suggested the latter, as it seemed like she was employing Edie's brand of charm. She even noticed her words were timed with the clicking balls.
"Ok lady, what are you selling me?" Edie asked in her own head.
The answer received was the navy-attired woman stepping forward, timed again with the balls. The older woman reached out to hold Edie's face gently in her hands. Even with some people she was close to, such a gesture would be met with a reactive recoiling. The auburn-haired woman's boldness left her almost too surprised to react like Edie normally would. The palm was warm against her face, the thumb stroking in-time with the clicking. The younger blonde noticed her guest's eye color matched her hair color, and her eyes widened in response to take in her whole face and see how beautiful she looked.
"My name is Lydia; I've heard a lot about you."
Word of Edie did get around in the circles she worked in. Among the best salesman in the city, with a keen eye for weakness, and a love for exploiting it. Destined for an executive position in her current company, or any company who she wanted someday. Lydia, whoever she was, seemed focused more now on Edie being the best-looking seller around. Naturally blonde hair, cut to a slanted perfection, a slim body she worked hard to maintain, knowing it made up a good chunk of her selling power. The older woman wasn't as young or as thin as Edie, but she still had the goods to make a sale. Her presence alone was softly imposing, as if to propose "this is the way it's going to be, enjoy it." One of Lydia's hands slipped away from Edie's face while the other traced fingers down to her chin, cupping it, centering Edie's green eyes on Lydia's auburn ones.
It seemed like Lydia just expected her to be taken into those eyes, and for some reason it was working. The lovely color in them, framed by Lydia's creamy skin, and a cascade of auburn curls. Those waves of sublime coloring took her deep into those eyes, noticing a depth that seemed to expand the longer she looked. There were ghostly sensations against her body around her cleavage and stomach, and she couldn't look away to see if it was Lydia touching or Edie starting to imagine and hope where Lydia might touch her.
"Would you like to know about me?"
Edie freely shook her head, or it just felt easy to move against the hand on her chin. Lydia shook her head too, so it was merely easy to follow those unblinking eyes.
"I come bearing a special offer."
"What...offer?" Edie managed to whisper.
"Truth, my dear girl. The chance to find out more about yourself, to embrace the inner you, which can shine brightly in your outward self, brighter than you ever though possible. I can see it in you, even though it might be hidden to everyone else, even yourself. You may look in the mirror and see a beautiful woman, but the longer you look into my eyes, the more you will see a reflection of your true self. My eyes will show you this truth, my eyes will show you happiness. Let go to my eyes as you become filled with your true self."
Edie had sunken too deep into those auburn pools to even realize she was the client now, the easy mark absolutely primed for the kill.
"You're going to hear words that reflect what I see in you, words that are the truth, words that will set your inner self free. Free to interact with me and shine brightly."
"Hypnotized."
"Slut."
"Bimbo."
"Slut."
"Hypnotized."
"Bimbo."
"Bimbo of a hypnotized slut..."
Edie woke abruptly, blinking her eyes rapidly to get her mind and imaging right. Fortunately, she wasn't in her office, and that woman wasn't there. She shook her head to repel the nightmarish daydream, the final, sweetly whispered words in her head, and the disgust of the thought of an empty smile on her face as she accepted those words. It took her longer for her senses to tell her what she'd woken up to.
The first thing she realized is that she was resting on her knees, in the room of a house somewhere. "What the hell," would've been her reactive statement were it for her mouth not working. There was nothing attached to her face or stuck in her mouth to prevent it from moving, just that her the muscles of her mouth were loose and barely in her control, but it was still kept comfortably shut. She noticed her vocal cords didn't work either, feeling relaxed beyond her control. Most of her body felt the same way. Arms remained at her sides, unable to muster the physical urge to get up from kneeling. She was merely mute and still, with the exception of being able to turn her head.
Her peripheral vision caught something over to her side, and saw Ronald also kneeling a few feet away from her. His posture and the surprise on his face told her he was in the same predicament. Their eyes stared wide at each other, searching for answers to questions they couldn't ask out loud. Soft moaning a few feet away from them directed their eyes to the answer they were looking for.
It was Will who softly moaned as he knelt on Lydia's bed, wrapping his arms around the hypnotist who stood naked and tall, looking supremely above everyone else in the room. Will's hand reached to cup her breasts, squeezing and stroking her nipples. His lips buried in the nape of her neck, whispering things when he wasn't moaning or breathing hard.
Lydia herself just leaned back against the also-naked Will, enjoying his efforts while she intently watched and grinned at the two kneeling, fully-clothed subs in front of her, soaking up their absolute shock and incapacitation. Ronald, in his eleven-year marriage, in his life, had never seen anyone as aroused as Lydia looked. From her cleanly-shaved pussy, a single line of her moisture trailed down her leg, confirming the depth of the arousal she felt. Lydia felt it, but paid it no attention. She would've asked Will to slip to the floor to lick it up were it not for the way Edie and Ronald seemed to follow that drop of her juices, both of them literally mesmerized by it.
Lydia snapped her fingers, the loud sound shaking them from the riveting sight, bringing them back to Lydia's face. Her grin was taunting as she watched Ronald's face fill with part confusion and regret, and Edie's trying to feign how revolting all of this was to her. Will's lips hit an erogenous spot on her neck, making Lydia close her eyes for a second. Her hand reached out to tug and his ear lobe, eliciting a loud moan from him as she whispered in his ear "a little louder, please." Whatever he was whispering came out loud and clear to everyone in the room, but didn't speak over Lydia's words.
"I am enslaved by Lydia."
"Did you enjoy that dream Edie?"
That question hung in the room like the musky scent coming from Will and Lydia's direction. It might as well have been an echo in Edie's head as her conscious mind pondered that question over and over. The doting quality in Will's voice was proof of his words. And his words shook Edie a bit as she knew she was enslaved at some level herself.
"I feel the touch of her control. I welcome it."
"I hope you did; it was a variation of the way we really first met. You've had many dreams like it since then, all of them slightly or largely different of what really happened."
Edie thought about how impossible, how crazy that sounded. She wondered if something deep inside her that felt touched was really Lydia's control.
"Caressed by her voice."
"But in every new dream, your mind invents a new scenario, a new way for me to take you over. And all of that reminds you of the lovely fact that you enjoy having been taken."
Edie searing expression about knowingly being manipulated could only make Lydia giggle. Lydia's voice sounded so melodious to her, and it slid across more than just her ears. She maintained that angry expression and shook off the sensation of a touch. It crossed Lydia's mind to use her gaze to easily pacify the kneeling blonde, but she decided that might be too easy. The slower way would be so much more satisfying.
