Authors Note: The plot device of one therapist exerting control over another is attributed to StryWrter7's story "Mind Control of the Master". My story is from a first-person perspective.
It includes mind control, M-M and F-M intercourse, male and female dominance and control, smoking and romance.
SHE TOLD ME I HAD A DIRTY MOUTH
It's approaching 10 pm. I take a seat out on the patio of the bar across from the Hilton and order an Old Fashioned.
I place my phone and cigarettes on the table, then settle back and survey the scene. It's Thursday night but there is a trade show at the hotel and so the bar is pretty active. The waiter brings the drink and advises the gentleman two tables over would like to pay for it. I look around her, catch the fellow's eye and nod.
Interesting, I think. Don't usually get hit on so quickly. I'm not advertising or trolling -- loafers, black slacks, white linen shirt with all buttons engaged. I did not take a lap around the place to survey the crowd and make eye contact with anyone.
Anyway, he comes over.
Putting his hand on the back of the chair he asks, "May I join you?"
I hold up a hand, and he pauses.
"Do you know the password?" I ask.
"Password?"
"Yes, a phrase that identifies you as the person I am meeting," I reply.
"Uhhhhhhh," he replies.
"Thought so," I say. "Although you're quite attractive, you do not quite fit the description."
He takes his hand off the chair.
"Sorry," he says as he starts to leave.
"No need to apologize," I say as I reach in my back pocket for my card case. "You can make an appointment here if you are interested."
He takes it, stammers his thanks and goes back to his table. At the same time, I see someone coming out of the Hilton who fits the description. I take a large sip, pull the tube of gloss out of my pocket and apply a light coat of Soft Pink. I then light a cigarette, making sure to leave a nice imprint on the white filter.
A few moments later, the fellow is surveying the patio. We make eye contact; I raise my eyebrows; he nods and heads my way.
I take a long inhale and then exhale slowly skyward.
He stands behind the chair across from me, his knuckles white as he grips the back.
"Excuse me," he says with a nervous tremor. "But smoking can give you a dirty mouth."
Smiling slightly, I reply, "That's true, but it is not as dirty as some things people do with the mouths. "
The recognition signal given; I gesture for him to sit. He does a little bit too quickly. A slight case of nerves it seems.
He is actually seriously nervous: leg bouncing, looking left and right, slight sheen of perspiration. I hold his eye as I give another long exhale upwards and a long sip of my drink.
I hold him by eye for a few seconds, then with a relaxed, reassuring tone, I ask him a couple of questions to calm his nerves, steering the conversation around to what he wants. I already know because it was part of the service request----think of it as an HR help desk ticket. But it's good for them to confirm it. And we never talk price. It's just a date.
Eventually he confirms he wants me to go down on him. So I tease him just bit with some erotic innuendo, giving a long exhale followed by another long sip of my drink, catching the cherry in the process, holding it on my tongue for a second or two so he can see.
I then ask, "Are you sure you want to expose yourself to this dirty, dirty mouth?"
He quivers in anticipation. He stammers, "Yes, please."
I nod and stand, picking up my things and holding out my hand to help him up. Placing my hand on his lower back, steering him towards the elevator.
**********
I may be a whore on the weekends, but the rest of the time, I'm a counselor -- a Licensed Professional Counselor to be more precise, and a pretty good one all things be told.
I was on a Ph.D. psychology track, but after a year I decided I would rather work with people who had problems I could address as opposed to those with serious pathologies that required multiple therapies, drugs and specialties.
The practice built slowly, but steadily. Results led to referrals which led to more referrals. I developed a reputation among the Family Practice and Pediatric docs for helping patients who had issues with coping skills -- grief, fear, anxiety, etc. Along the way, I also developed the ability to place folks in a light trance without their being aware. It helped peel back the surface barriers and get more honest, unfiltered thoughts. And you don't need a prescription.
There I am, cruising along. Life is good and of course there was no way to foresee that a routine referral would ultimately end up with me in a place that was not on my career plan.
Women are generally more comfortable with discussing issues with their Ob-Gyn, and so I got a request to see a lady who was having some confusion / emotional discomfort following a couple of sessions with another counselor. She had to undergo a series of lengthy dental treatments, but developed significant anxiety and could not continue. She really needed the treatments and for some reason sedation was not an option. She had seen a counselor who had worked with her to the extent she could continue, but there were after effects it seemed. The Ob-Gyn danced around it a bit but it seems the lady was having residual images-flashbacks of fellatio, even after a couple of follow-up visits with the counselor.
Fairly straightforward at first blush. Modified PTSD or deeper-rooted oral fixation issues. So I agreed to see her. Then I asked who her current therapist was -- turns out it was Dennis Kimbrough.
I should have declined at that point. Really---I should have.
But I didn't. I set the appointment, trying to help and thereby affirming that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Dennis was well known in the counseling community as, well, to put it politely, a supremely confident individual. At the CE's and annual meetings, he was always holding court, dominating the conversation and so forth. Rumor had it he had been bounced out of a Ph.D. program for questionable conduct with a patient but avoided an inquiry and a negative mark on his record when the patient recanted. In any event, we had never interacted, socially or professionally.
Her name was Gretchen, mid-30s female, no apparent distress, well groomed, good affect, nervous and hesitant to address the presenting issue.
So much for the medical record jargon. From a dentist's point of view, Gretchen was dealt a bad hand. She underwent a lot of work as a teenager and then even more as an adult. Somewhere along the way, she developed a phobia that grew progressively worse. Sedation was not effective and insurance would not cover anesthesia. So she went to see a counselor -- Dennis. It took my putting her in a light trance but it was pretty clear he steered her to substitute dental work for fellatio. What was not clear, and I did not drill down hard on it, was that perhaps she had experienced fellatio in his office as part of conditioning her.
