"Hey Lyla," Kevin said as his beautiful girlfriend entered their apartment. She tossed her keys into the bowl by the door and flopped down on the couch next to him.
"Long day?" he asked. She groaned affirmatively.
"Sasha is going to owe me big time for all this," she said. Sasha was a shared friend. In fact, she had been the one to introduce the two a couple of months back. She worked as a waitress at the same restaurant Lyla did, but she was on some short-notice vacation, and had asked Sasha to cover her shifts.
"Yeah, but at least you're free tomorrow, right?" he asked. She sighed in relief.
"Probably going to be spending all of it sleeping, but yeah," she said. She noticed a slight disappointed look in Kevin's eyes. They had moved in together a few weeks ago and although their schedules kept both of them busy, they were still keeping up an active sex life. She knew that he'd been hoping that since they both had the day off, they'd get to celebrate.
"Babe, you know this has been exhausting for me," she said. She leaned in and whispered sexily into Kevin's ear, "I promise, after Sasha gets back, you can fuck me so hard that I don't walk straight for days."
"You're making it worse," Kevin complained pointing down to between his legs, where his cock was quickly hardening at the thought.
"Then I guess when Sasha gets back, you make me pay for it," she teased. She rose from the couch and turned toward the bathroom. He chuckled. He knew her style: tease and see how he'd respond. He knew she'd enjoy being made pay just as much as he'd enjoy making her.
"Or..." Kevin said, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her back down.
"Kevin," she complained, "I'm serious."
"I know," he said, "just wait." He reached into a side drawer and pulled out a string necklace with a shining purple heart in the center.
"Now, I don't know if this would work on you, but if you want... I could hypnotize you. All the relaxation you need, and I can have a bit of fun," he said.
"Hypnosis?" she asked, "so you'd force me to do your bidding?" she was still obviously teasing him, but a hint of scepticism had crept into her voice.
"Not at all," he said, "yeah, you'd be putting your subconscious into my hands, but at the end of the day you have to accept hypnosis for it to be effective." She still looked unconvinced.
"I'm not even sure you'd be susceptible, but you are you'd be able to literally feel as energized as if you'd slept for an hour, instantly." She shook her head and rose to go to the bathroom.
"Would it help to know that Sasha used to do this with me all the time?" he asked. Lyla knew Sasha's history with Kevin. They'd gone on a few dates, some of which had ended in sex, but after they both admitted they weren't each other's type they eventually became friends with benefits for a while until she'd met another guy and broke it off. She'd basically apologized by introducing him to Lyla, and even after she and the guy had broken up, they'd both agreed to keep things as they were since Kevin was with Lyla. Kevin knew that Lyla trusted Sasha, both her character and her judgement. Lyla nodded and sat back down.
"Let's try it," she said. Kevin nodded and got up from the couch. He lowered the lights and shut off the TV, then sat down on the coffee table in front of his girlfriend. He rose the necklace so that the heart was in front of her eyes. It shined, even in the low light.
"Alright Lyla, watch the necklace," Kevin said, "see how it gleams in the light. I don't want you to think about work, or about your schedule, or even about me. Focus everything on where the next sparkle will be."
Lyla nodded and tried to follow Kevin's directions. She watched the necklace.
"If you can't get thoughts out of your head, just fill them with the pattern. Back," Kevin said. He started swinging the necklace.
"And forth." the necklace swung back the other way. It continued to sparkle, and the longer Lyla watched the less she could remember what she had been thinking about. She felt herself murmuring along with Kevin.
"Back, forth. Back, forth."
"You're doing great, Lyla. Now, the world is fading away. The couch you're sitting on doesn't matter, I don't matter. What matters, is the necklace, and my voice."
She nodded.
"Back, forth," she murmured.
Kevin was stunned. He was going through the steps, watching her body and eyes for the cues, but he'd never seen somebody go this deep this fast. Hell, it had taken Sasha a month before she'd even drop into trance. If this was any indication, he might be able to get Lyla there in her first session.
"Now, Lyla. I'm going to drop you into a trance, and you will be obedient," Kevin commanded, "the necklace will stay in your mind, sparkling, until I tell you otherwise."
Lyla nodded again, a slight moan escaping her lips.
"Aah... back... forth..."
"But I meant what I said. Any command I give you, you will answer 'I Accept' and do it, or 'I Refuse'. Any question I asked, you will answer truthfully, or answer 'I Refuse'. Any suggestion I give you for after you wake up, you will answer 'I Accept' and that suggestion will take effect, or 'I Refuse' and it won't. Do you accept?"
This was the final test. If she responded correctly, then her mind was completely vacant, and he was speaking to her subconscious.
"I... aah... I accept," she muttered. Kevin could see what little focus was left in her eyes fading.
"Drop," Kevin commanded. Lyla's head nodded forward.
"Open your eyes, Lyla," Kevin said.
"I accept," she said. Her head rose and eyes opened. They were vacant.
