-Chapter 15-
The next morning, Caitlin and I got straight to business, though not the business her amped-up libido really wanted.
We went over our plan and tried to come up with solutions for any problems we might encounter; although, we knew that no plans ever survive contact with the enemy.
Caitlin and I hopped into my car and, stopped at the ATM for the money Kelly ordered me to get for her. Then we headed to my house.
With sweaty hands and a pounding heart, I pulled into my garage. Caitlin was ready to hide in the back seat if we saw the door open into the garage. We both had a dozen rings each of various types. We were worried about Kelly's possible resistance to commands necessitating many repetitions. We did not want to run out of battery before she was... more understanding of my ideas for her.
Caitlin grabbed my hand before I stepped out of the car. She didn't say anything but she gave me a quick, but passionate kiss. I thought about giving her a wink, but luckily I thought better of it.
"Kelly it's me!" I hollered as I closed the door to the garage. "I brought the cash for you."
From the living room, Kelly replied, "just set it on the table."
She was sitting on the couch staring at the eggshell white wall. She didn't even glance at me when I walked toward her. I sat down in the chair beside the couch. "So you found an apartment you liked?" I asked.
"Yep." She said still not looking at me.
"Is everything ok Kelly?"
"I just have a headache again," she replied numbly, "also why are you still here?"
"Well, this is my house... so," I replied calmly stifling my anger. I really didn't know how she got to be this way. She was once so bright and cheery. Coming home after a long day of work or college to see her was the highlight of all my days for years.
"Anyway, I did make you something that might help with your headaches. I didn't finish before we broke up, but I still hope it helps."
She turned and looked at me for the first time in quite a while. Clearly, she was interested. I pulled two full-sized rings out of my pocket and put them on my fingers to pretend to demonstrate on myself.
"I designed these based on the specifications for a machine I found in a peer-reviewed study on migraine treatments," I lied to her for one of the first times ever. "It uses vibrations and small electric shocks to stimulate some nerve behind the ear."
She looked interested and not at all suspicious. Kelly did trust me for sure. That's the only thing I had going for me in this.
I continued, "all you have to do is put these on your fingers and place them behind your ear like this," I pretended to place the rings behind my ears, but I was very careful not to touch my skin. From her angle, she couldn't tell. "Anyway, they definitely work at least a little. I used them when I had a headache, and so did Caitlin at work. Caitlin claimed it was 'life-changing.' Plus it's about 30k cheaper than the real machine in the study."
"Wanna try?" I held the rings out for her.
"Yeah, I guess I'll try them." She replied as she roughly grabbed them from my open hands.
Kelly put the rings on her fingers and placed them behind her ears. I watched her relax and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief...
"Woah, these work," Kelly said in a very relaxed voice.
I froze, I never expected her to not go into a trance with two rings. Kelly was going to be one tough cookie. I had an idea though.
I grabbed 4 rings and quietly stepped behind the couch. She was dazed enough to not notice and I figured I could come up with an excuse on the fly if I had to.
I was careful to touch all the rings near her ears at the same time. She did slump into a trance, but not as deeply as I wanted.
Her eyes were glazed over, and her cute mouth was ever so slightly parted. With 6 rings, she was just barely past the level Caitlin was with 1 ring.
With both hands already busy, it was too risky to remove a hand to grab more rings out of my pocket. It was then or never.
"Kelly, you trust me."
"I trust you." She didn't tense at all luckily.
"The rings fix your migraines."
"The rings fix my migraines."
"I can use the rings to help you with your headaches." I realized I made a mistake here, but it was too late.
Kelly shot upright in flash. She turned and caught me with four rings on my fingers before I had a chance to hide them. "Well I can't talk my way out of this," I thought to myself.
Kelly stood up dropped her rings and backed away from the couch. "You did something! I don't know what, but you're trying to do something!" She said frantically.
This isn't how I wanted things to go. I did not want her to ever be afraid. I felt terrible now, I didn't know what I was going to do. I stepped out from behind the couch and put the rings in my pocket, then put my hands to my side.
"I wasn't trying anything really, the rings just aren't very powerful so it takes multiple to cure a headache, trust me!"
"I... I trust... no! No something feels wrong, don't come closer to me." Kelly said while still backing away.
"Ok, ok, I'll leave, I really didn't mean you any harm though, please trust me."
I watched her almost relax, but then she regained her thoughts and ran out towards the garage.
I heard the door slam, then I heard Kelly yell "who the fuck!" And then silence.
I pulled out my phone and ended my open line with Caitlin. She had been on speakerphone with me the whole time as part of our backup plans. Stepping out into the garage I saw my sweet but determined-looking Cait holding up a slumped-over Kelly. Caitlin had probably every one of her rings on her hands, and while it wasn't possible to fit them all behind Kelly's ears, they were apparently close enough. Kelly is a tiny little thing at no more than 110lbs, so Caitlin had no issues holding her up by wrapping her arms under Kelly's while standing chest to chest.
Quickly putting on several of my rings I stepped over and traded my hand for one of Caitlin's so we could both have a free arm. We awkwardly carried Kelly back inside and gently laid her down on the carpet. I let Caitlin take back over for a minute while I grabbed a pillow.
Caitlin had a good idea to lay her head on a pillow and place 12 rings under her head near her ears. We saved the other 12 rings in case we needed more later as the batteries drained. I held Kelly's head to make sure it stayed in contact with the rings no matter what.
After taking a short breather, I looked at Kelly's face. She was blissed out pretty thoroughly, though still not as much as I'd expected. Her mouth was in the cute little O shape just like Caitlin was when I used 4 rings on her. Kelly was tough. I'm glad I didn't try the rings on her before testing on the much more weak-willed Caitlin. I would have been screwed.
High on adrenaline, I wasn't feeling any guilt at what I was doing yet, and Caitlin was very excited to watch me make another slave, so I took a deep breath and started brainwashing the tiny redhead.
-Chapter 16-
First things first, I knew I had to get something in her head that would give me a failsafe if she woke up. I needed to make sure she would let me use the rings on her anytime I asked. I also knew I still had to be careful so she wouldn't wake up. So I focused my first commands on things that she would 'want' to do. I wasn't going to force her to change anything yet.
"Kelly, you want to forget everything that happened after I handed you the rings."
Kelly replied and didn't tense up at this as I expected. Subconsciously she probably did want to forget her fear and me betraying her. I then ordered her to actually forget what happened. That command took a bit of time before she accepted it. Next was building blind trust.
"You know I've never lied to you about anything important."
"I know.... You've... Neeeever lied to... me about anything... immmportant." She was near the verge of waking but dropped back into her trance. It took many repetitions to clear it up.
This surprised me. I really had never, at least intentionally lied to Kelly (at least that she remembered). It made for some bumpy times in the relationship, but I made it clear to her on day one I'd never lie. I did literally plead the 5th a few times, which did not go over well, but never lied to her. Something was fishy and I was just starting to notice and piece it together.
"You trust me completely."
"I trust you completely." She spoke out in a clear and quiet monotone. It had been a while since she said that to me.
"You know I only want to help you"
"I know you only want to help me," she replied smoothly. I was surprised this one didn't tense her up. I was glad though because it gave me the setup I needed.
"The rings will help you," I stated firmly, I left this pretty open-ended hoping it would make the command more wide-reaching.
"The... the rings will h-help me," she repeated until she spoke without pause or stuttering.
"You'll let me use the rings to help you"
"I'll let you...wait... why?" Kelly gave Caitlin and me both a scare. She didn't fully wake up, but she was somewhere in between, she sounded half asleep. She slowly relaxed back into her trance as Caitlin and I stayed silent.
I looked at Cait and mouthed "any ideas?" My sexy accomplice nodded yes and put a couple of small rings on her pointer finger. Then she pulled down Kelly's shorts and panties to my surprise. "What the fuck?" I mouthed to Cait.
