My Fondest Memory
Part 3 of 4
**********************************
Within the realm of erotica, there's an entire subgenre devoted to mind control. It is typically told from the perspective of someone who possesses a magic potion, an incantation, or a medical device that compels hapless victims to submit. Usually, the victims don't even realize they are being victimized.
How would one of these stories look from the perspective of someone who doesn't know their mind has been hijacked?
Meet Sheila Friendman, a happy, carefree young woman living a placid existence. Along comes Ron Stevenson, who changes everything. This story is told by Sheila, who explains what happens when her consent is stolen so skillfully she doesn't even recognize that it's gone. Here in Part 3, Sheila is shocked to discover her sexuality has changed radically.
*************************************
Ron and I settled into a routine. We'd get up in the morning, have sex, then I'd go to work and try to focus on my job until it was time to go home and be with Ron again. My work hours were unpredictable, so Ron asked me to text him when I was ready to drive home. That way he could be ready to take me to bed.
He knew it was hard for me to be away from him for so many hours, so he made an effort to give me some much-needed sex as soon as I walked in the door.
This continued for months. As time passed blissfully, Ron introduced me to increasingly exotic types of sex. I'd never been interested in kink before I met Ron, but every single thing he wanted me to try turned out to be so erotic that I wondered why I'd avoided kink for so long. I felt like I'd wasted years of my life, and I was grateful to Ron for showing me so many new ways to enjoy my sexuality.
He introduced me to bondage. Spanking. Anal. Blindfolds. Facials. Role playing. Erotic asphyxiation. Amateur sex videos. Electrostimulation. Eroticized pain. There was always something new. I never knew what would happen when Ron took me to bed.
I liked that. I liked it a lot.
Ron expanded my sexual horizons. Before meeting him, I had no idea that I could be so aroused by the feel of hot candle wax dripping on my breasts, or how liberating it felt to be powerless in restraints, or the voyeuristic thrill of watching a homemade video that showed us having wild, hard-core sex.
"Helping you explore your sexual potential is my job, Sheila," Ron said once. "You are my girl. I love you. I know you have needs. We need to understand your needs so we can meet them."
You are my girl. I love you.
I'm sure you must know how overjoyed I was every time he said those words. I'd loved Ron from the beginning, but I was slow to use that word because I was afraid he might not say it back. Hearing him declare his love was more satisfying than anything we did in the bedroom.
Still, I thought it was strange that I got an unexpected pleasure from hearing Ron call me his "girl." Before I met him, I hated being called a girl. I was a woman, and expected to be treated like one. For some reason, I didn't mind when Ron called me his girl. Odd.
I was continually surprised by the pleasure I experienced when we tried something new in the bedroom. I always liked it. Always. Nothing Ron tried failed to arouse me. It reminded me of how I felt when I began experiencing multiple orgasms. It seemed as though Ron had some way of controlling my mind, making me open to experiences I'd never wanted to try.
I know the idea of mind control is preposterous, but I sometimes imagined it was the only way to explain the rapid changes in my life. Or maybe I was just evolving as a person, and Ron was helping me enjoy experiences I hadn't known I'd like.
During this period I more-or-less accepted all of this experimentation. If I enjoyed being spanked, so what? It didn't mean anything about the kind of woman I am, right? But then something happened that rattled me to the core. It made me question my whole identity.
One day Ron asked me to look through his little viewer again. As always, I saw some swirling colors, and I don't remember anything else. Afterward, he took me to an art gallery that was having an opening for three up-and-coming artists. The trio produced what they called "feminist art" that explored various elements of womanhood. It was a big gallery that was packed with people. As soon as we entered, I noticed that I had feelings I'd never experienced before.
I always considered myself to be a completely heterosexual woman. I know a lot of lesbian and bisexual women, and I envy anyone who can respond to men and women alike. But I never had that capacity.
That's why it felt strange when I found myself feeling aroused by some of the women at the gallery. For the first time in my life, I felt sparks of sexual attraction to women. It was nice, but the experience was so bizarre I didn't know what to think about it.
What's happening to me?
I wondered.
What is going on? Why am I enjoying the way these women make me feel?
For some reason, Ron wasn't surprised. It was as though he expected me to feel attracted to women suddenly. "You like the way she looks, don't you?" he said when he caught me staring at a particularly pretty young woman. "Do you think she's sexy?"
I had to tell the truth. "Yes," I said. "I don't know why. I've never been attracted to women before."
"What is it you find so appealing about her?" he asked.
I thought about it. "I love her legs. I can't believe I'm saying this, but her legs and ass are so luscious I wish I could touch them. Doesn't that sound crazy?"
"I don't think it's crazy at all," Ron said. "She has very nice legs and a beautiful butt. Touching them would feel nice."
"But I'm straight!" I said. "I haven't had any sexual feelings for any woman before today! Ever! What's wrong with me!"
Ron looked concerned. He put one arm around my shoulder. "Sheila, I am sure there is nothing wrong with you. Nothing. It's completely normal for a vibrant, healthy woman like you to feel attracted to sexy people. You've said before that you believe your sexuality is growing and evolving. Maybe this is just one more example of that."
"It's awfully sudden," I said, feeling my gaze drawn to a pair of cute women entering the gallery.
"It's something you need to explore," he said.
I wasn't surprised when he said that. Ron seemed committed to what he called 'self-discovery.' He wanted me to know everything knowable about myself, especially when it came to my capacity for arousal. That's one of the things I love about him. He always looks for new ways to make me happy and fulfilled.
"I've got an idea," he said. "I know one of the artists here. She happens to be a very attractive woman. Let me introduce you. See how she makes you feel. One thing you should know is that she's a confirmed lesbian. I don't think she's ever been with a man, but she loves women. I'll bet she'll appreciate how beautiful and sexy you are."
Ron led me into an adjoining room, which displayed several paintings by an artist who called herself Femme Love. That isn't her real name, of course - the name on her birth certificate is Paula Schmidt - but adopting that professional name emphasized her interest in erotic art, and it allowed her to sign her paintings with the word "Femme."
Personally, I think the name is a bit silly and pretentious, but I realize that it's hard for artists to earn a living, so anything that promotes their careers is fine with me. Femme was standing in front of a wall that displayed several of her paintings.
When Ron said Femme was a lesbian, I expected to meet a woman who dressed in masculine clothes, wore no make-up, and had extremely short hair. That's not what I saw. Femme is one of those women who call themselves "lipstick lesbians." She had long, wavy brown hair, extra high heels, a clingy dress with lots of cleavage, and the kind of perfect make-up you'd expect to see on a fashion model.
Seeing Femme made my heart pound. It felt like I was suddenly overwhelmed with urges I could barely control. She looked familiar for some reason. Had I seen a picture of her somewhere? I wondered if we'd met.
"Hello Femme," Ron said. "It's good to see you again. How are you?"
"I'm fine, Ron," she said. She was talking to Ron, but she seemed unable to take her eyes off me. It was as though she was attracted to me as much as I was attracted to her.
"Who is your friend, Ron?" Femme asked.
"This is my girlfriend, Sheila," Ron said.
"You look familiar, Sheila. Have we met?"
"I don't think so," I said.
"You may have seen photos of Sheila," Ron said. "She used to work as a model, and a few years ago she won the Miss Ohio USA beauty pageant. You've always had a good eye for beautiful women, Femme. If you ever saw a picture of Sheila, I'm sure you'd remember."
"I'm sure I would," Femme said, giving me a sexy smile that made me feel warm between my legs. She looked me up and down the way a starving woman might look at a nice juicy steak. The erotic energy between us was so strong I couldn't help trying to imagine what she looked like naked.
"Femme, do you still do commissions?" Ron said. "I'd be interested in having you paint a portrait of Sheila."
