The participants of this work of fiction are all over the age of 21. While this could be read as a stand alone tale, reading the first chapter would improve the flow of this one.

"I'm telling you Miranda, Dr. Miller has helped me a lot, I have so more confidence now. You know what I was like before." And I do remember her almost painful shyness, being one of the things that attracted me to Susan.
Was
one of the things. I had so wanted to seduce her and bring her out of her shell when we first met several years ago. But between her shyness and my being unsure my own sexuality, well it never happened. Now we're good friends and I'm a big chicken. At least the rest of her attractive traits are still there. Smart, pretty a quick wit. As well as nice handful sized tits and tight ass and long legs. Although I have to admit the way she dresses now almost makes me drool. Silky blouses, skirts and stockings instead of baggy sweaters and pants. Her shyness may have disappeared but her sense of fashion sure has come out. I drag my eyes from her legs again as we walk to the coffee shop.
While I'm not a lesbian (yet), I know that I am definitely bi-curious. Okay, perhaps curious isn't the right word, I definitely want to have sex with a woman. It's taken a couple years to come to terms with my desires and I can finally admit it to myself. Now if I could just tell Susan... Or some other woman who would like to 'give me a hand'. Then a tongue... Susan breaks my erotic musings.
"I'm sure the Doctor can help you quit smoking. For good this time!" She had me there. I don't know how many times I've quit. But hypnosis? I'm not so sure about giving someone access to play around in my brain is a good idea.
"I don't know Susan. I'm not keen on the idea."
"Look how about you come with me and meet her? Maybe she'll be okay with explaining how hypnosis works to you. We're getting together for drinks next Friday."
"Your meeting your therapist for drinks? Isn't that kinda, I don't know, weird?"
"Oh she's not my therapist anymore. Irene believes I have progressed far enough that I have overcome my shyness. And it's not weird, we're friends that get together every once in a while. I'd really like it if you'd come, we haven't been out together for ages." It has been a while, so I reluctantly agreed.
+++++++++++++++++
I'm just getting out of the shower and my cell rings, it's Susan.
"So what are you wearing tonight? I'm going with that blue dress I wore when we went to the theatre to see that play."
"What! I thought it was just for a few drinks, what kind of place are we going to?"
"It's a pretty classy bar. You know, professionals and lawyers and such. Wear something nice, like that skirt you wore to my brother's wedding. It made you look all sexy..." Hearing Susan say that gives me a pleasant little quiver.
"Okay if you say so. Pantyhose or bare?"
"Stockings! Definitely stockings. White if you have them. I'll pick you up in a half hour?"
+++++++++++++++++
Susan and I arrived at the bar, and being just after 7, it wasn't very busy. It was a nice place, classy like she said. This is not a drunkard's bar, no blue jeans or t-shits here. Susan spotted Doctor Miller sitting at the bar, and we joined her. Damn Susan never said her therapist was hot! She didn't look very tall, maybe five foot two. Medium length amber hair and green eyes. White button up blouse and a tight dark grey skirt that hugged her hips nicely. Dark stockings, not black, mocha perhaps with sensible yet sexy heels. We sat and chatted for a bit and Irene seems nice. At some point Susan brought up hypnosis.
"Susan, you know I can't discuss case particulars, even if the client says it's okay."
"Oh I know that, I don't want to discuss me. I've already told Miranda that you've helped by way of hypnosis. I dragged her along because she wants to quit smoking but has been unable to do so. I felt you could explain how it really works better than I could. And perhaps help her too?" I'm not sure if I just caught a gleam in her eye or not. Irene seems a bit hesitant, then nods.
"If we're going to discuss this, why don't we grab a booth for a little bit more privacy?" Irene suggests. We end up over in one of the corners with fresh drinks and continue the conversation. Irene explains that hypnosis is not what Hollywood has made it out to be. People can't be programmed to do things that go against their internal moral code.
"What about those stage performers who hypnotize people and make them quack like ducks?" I ask, skeptical.
"Well think about the situation. People pay money to go to a show for entertainment. They already know it involves hypnosis. They already know that if on stage, the performer will get them to do outrageous and funny things. Like quack like a duck. Just buying a ticket and going to the show, they have already decided that it is okay, under the circumstances, to allow themselves to do that. It isn't making them do something they don't want to, or they wouldn't agree to go up on the stage in the first place." Okay that makes sense.
