Zeke was humming to himself as he made the final preparations for his trap. He moved an innocent looking box of sweets so that they were front and center on the table, ensuring that they would catch anyone's attention before they saw the laptop behind them.
Zeke tore a small corner of one of the plastic casings around a large lollipop and a strong, sweet smell began to fill the room. Zeke was very thankful that he managed to make a formula this year that only affected women, blushing with embarrassment as he remembered how he accidentally dosed himself the previous season and needed to be rescued from a 6 hour long accidental orgy.
"I figured you'd be set up in the basement," Matt's voice said from the doorway.
Snapped back to the present, Zeke looked up to see him analyzing his setup thoughtfully.
"I thought about it, but the guys from Hamlin Hall have some kind of large-scale bug zapper looking thing set up down there, the light from it would be way too distracting for this."
"Those guys have no subtlety at all," Matt said, shaking his head.
"Says the man who organized last years "First Annual Topless Slave-Soccer Spectacular," Zeke replied.
"One of my best ideas ever," Matt responded, a nostalgic smile on his face, "That reminds me, game starts on Saturday at noon this year, you in?"
"Best spectator sport on campus, wouldn't miss it," Zeke replied as he toyed with a wireless receiver plugged into an outlet near the door. Satisfied with his work, he turned more serious. "So...are you ready?"
Matt grinned wide, a glint in his steely-blue eyes.
Matt and Zeke had realized during the week leading up to The Hunt that the chemicals they were both working on had very similar effects and goals, and they were eager to see whose would work the best.
"You know it; most obedient love-slave by the end of the day gets to keep the other's tag for 24 hours?"
"Absolutely," Zeke said reaching out his hand. "No girls from previous hunts, students only, anything else?"
"Nope," Matt said, clasping his hand in agreement. "Game on."
***********************************************************************************
Matt settled into the study room in the third floor of the library. The third floor had a series of private study rooms that needed to be reserved in advance. They were nice and spaced out, and nearly sound proof once you got inside, perfect for what he had planned. He had spent a few minutes with a librarian earlier in the month, persuading her to let him take a peak at who had already reserved the rooms and quickly found a situation to his liking. Now he was simply biding his time as he awaited his arrivals.
The wait didn't even last three minutes before there was a polite knock on the door of the study room.
"Right on time," he whispered, "come in!"
The door slowly opened and in walked two girls carrying backpacks, both wearing cheerleader uniforms and quizzical expressions. One was a short, very fit blonde with bright, large blue eyes and honey-blonde hair, the other was a curvier Hispanic girl with dark brown eyes and luscious, thick black hair.
"Umm, this is room 313, right?" The blonde asked politely, a hint of insecurity in her voice.
"I believe so, yes," Matt responded with a polite smile of his own, taking a quick moment to admire her athletic legs and tight, smooth stomach in the skimpy uniform.
"Of course it is, you just read the number, Hailey," the raven-haired beauty replied. "We booked this room for the next hour, you'll have to find another room, dude." She dropped her bag on the ground then put a hand on her hip while giving him a stern, skeptical look.
"No nonsense, I like her," he thought to himself as he stared into her fiery gaze, trying to look innocent.
"Oh, gosh, are you sure?" Matt asked, feigning surprise. "I have my reservation on the school app right here," he said, pulling out his phone. The girls approached the table and Matt offered his phone. As he reached out to show them he quickly waved his wrist in front of their faces as he presented his screen. The girls caught a whiff of the cologne on his wrist and the intoxicating scent wafted over to them.
"Oh, wow," the blonde said, sounding lightheaded. Without thinking she took another breath in and felt her knees get weak. She put a hand on the table to steady herself.
"Mmm," her friend moaned, closing her eyes and savoring the smell. "What is that? It's amazing."
"What this?" he asked innocently, wafting it under their noses again. The girls quickly inhaled deeply, unable to stop themselves from trying to take in as much of the smell as possible.
"Just my own natural charms, I usually have this affect on women," he responded with a wink. The blonde blushed and giggled, then sat down next to him, though the raven-haired beauty rolled her eyes.
"Oh, be real," she said, though she was still breathing deeply, cheeks growing flush.
"Close the door and take a seat and I'll tell you, Miss, ummm...?" Matt said gesturing to her quickly, not wanting to lose her. She sighed as she seemed to think about it, looking from him to the door. The allure of the scent finally won out as she shut the door behind herself.
"This is Ava," the blonde said gesturing to the bronze beauty, "and I'm Hailey."
"I'm Matt," he said, holding out his hand. Hailey shook it eagerly, moaning softly as the scent reached her nose again.
"So what actually is it?" Hailey asked softly. Her breathing was very deep and measured, her body trying to absorb as much of the scent as possible.
"It's a cologne that I developed myself actually," Matt said warmly. He gestured to the open seat next to him, looking up at Ava expectantly. She was a little dazed, finding it hard to focus as the scent overwhelmed her senses now that the door was closed and it filled up the small space. She finally noticed him offering her the chair and she just nodded, slowly easing herself down next to him. She gasped as the scent grew stronger and she sucked in a large breath involuntarily.
"Wow, so you make things? That's so cool," Hailey gushed with a sweet smile, those big blue eyes blinking heavily as the scent saturated her mind more and more.
"Yes, I make all kinds of things; colognes, electronics, jewelry. In fact..." he said as he reached into his pocket, "I have a new necklace I designed right here."
Matt pulled out a gorgeous crystal pendant on a string and held it at eye level, making sure both girls could get a view. He began spinning it and instantly the prisms in the crystal began reflecting tiny beams of light, as thought it were shooting out small lasers.
"Wow," Ava said, her stern expression softening as she stared at the shimmering pendant.
"So pretty," Hailey said softly, eyes growing so glossy they reflected the lights perfectly.
"Very good, ladies, it's a very beautiful sight, it's so easy to get lost in the lights and the prisms, so easy to forget about everything else as your minds and bodies relax for me. Just watch the pendant as it dances and sways, so transfixing and mesmerizing," he said, guiding their weakened minds further under his sway. He was a talented natural hypnotist, and could have dropped them both eventually with the crystal alone, but the chemicals weakening their wills and supercharging their libidos was accelerating their descent into mindlessness.
"Trans...f-f-fixing," Ava said, failing to stifle a yawn. Her mouth didn't quite close after and she kept staring as her lips formed a small, appealing 'O' shape.
"Mes..riiiize," Hailey mumbled, struggling to keep her head up as it teetered back and forth. Matt happily continued to take them deeper.
Despite their increasing need for sleep, their eyes were glued to the swaying pendant, bodies sagging in their seats. Hailey was further along than Ava, leaning against Matt's shoulder, sighing happily as she fought to stare through her heavy-lidded eyes. Ava was still a little more alert, head wobbling with the effort of staying upright.
"Heeeeey, wait," she said, eyebrows furrowing, "What are you doing...to...ohhhh."
Matt put his wrist right under her nose and she breathed in deeply. When she exhaled her body fully relaxed against his and she laid her head on his free shoulder, any confusion or protest absent from her face, replaced with blissful contentment.
"Shh, don't worry about a thing, Ava, no need to stress or think right now, girls," he said soothingly.
"Don't worry," Ava sighed, big beautiful dark eyes blinking heavily.
"No thinking," Hailey said dreamily.
"Exactly, ladies, just rest those pretty eyes, let go of those pesky thoughts and just sleep, sleep, sleep..." Matt said soothingly.
Hailey's eyes slid shut and Ava's rolled into the back of her head, the whites just visible as her lashes fluttered to a close. They both sagged against his body, totally limp and thoughtless.
Matt pocketed the pendant and began whispering naughty thoughts of arousal and obedience into their pliant minds. He tied these new ideas to himself, creating powerful bonds in their brains, linking their own pleasure and desires to his own.
Both girls quickly went from resting peacefully to shifting and squirming in their seats, mewling softly with pleasure as he became the center of their affections. It hadn't even taken five full minutes for the girls to begin feeling tingles of pleasure just from the idea of pleasing him.
Matt slid a hand down each of their bright blue skirts, deftly moving aside their very damp panties.
"Doesn't it feel so good to do what I say?" he asked Hailey as he teased her clit.
"So good," she said breathlessly, cheeks flushed with arousal as she twitched in her seat.
