Hey, guys! Anyone who's been following the story, thanks for continuing on this inconsistent journey. For all new readers, greetings loved ones, let's take a journey (if you don't get that reference then do yourself a favor and watch the music video for California Gurls featuring the one and only Snoop Dogg himself). From this chapter on, things will start to switch up a bit. For instance, chapter three will be from Violet's POV. Hopefully this will help all readers following the story to understand how the mind control works affecting Violet's mind, words, and actions. If you aren't here to follow the story and are simply here for a reading one night stand, that's cool too. Hope you enjoy! As I've said before, please let me know if you have any ideas for Violet and Luke's humiliation/Conner's revenge (the more I write the more I wish that's what I titled it, but I was an idiot and just willy nilly asked my friend for a name when I wrote the story in 30 minutes for fun. Now that I've grown attached to the writing in general and more specifically this storyline, I feel like a buffoon. Regardless, Yes, Sir it shall remain). Alrighty, let's get cracking. Hope you enjoy!

I walk through the halls, smoothing down my wrinkled clothes and trying to process the last twelve hours. Each step hurts a bit, between all the masturbating and that last twenty minutes of fucking. Thankfully I had some stashed protein bars and bottled water in my car for late nights in the lab.
What the hell can Conner do? Has he always been able to do that?
I shake off that last thought because I would've noticed. It's got to be because of that Zel guy.
I'm knocked out of my thoughts and into reality when I'm about to walk through my Human Behavior and Psychology class. Two people in the front row are looking behind me and I turn to see what it's about, but it's just a few people walking by.
Are they looking at me? I mean, I guess I do look pretty worn out. Maybe I'll just run to the bathroom real quick. I should pee, anyhow. Sex is sex.
I walk into the empty bathroom and go into the biggest stall on the far right side, then pull my pants down and hover. Nasty fucking public bathrooms. You never know what people do in there.
As I pee, I look down at the crotch of my pants. Holy shit, my pants are fucking soaked.
I give a small whine of humiliation, realizing I have to go sit down like this for the next hour. I flush, pull up the annoyingly wet material, and go to wash my hands.
I mean, it could be worse. I lather hard, then rinse off all remains of the actions from the past few hours. He could've come on my cloβ
One look in the mirror halts all my thoughts for about two seconds, then my humiliation grows.
"He CAME ON MY FUCKING HAIR?!" The bottom part of my hair has small splotches of dried up cum on it. Honestly, you can't really tell it's cum; it looks more like I got glue or some other substance in it. Still, between my rumpled clothes, puffy eyes, and cum-coated hair, I look like a wreck.
I lean down, run some hot water, then dunk as much hair as I can under the faucet. My hair is naturally wavy, and it'll get a bit frizzy once it dries, but it's better than looking like a 5-year old's botched playtime doll. While I'm down there, I turn the water to cold and splash my face, hoping it'll get rid of at least some puffiness. While I'm hunched over, my face and hair dripping, all I can think about is Conner.
Why would he do this to me? I'm his girlfriend. My eyes well up with tears, and I look at my miserable reflection. "I thought he loved me."
Another woman walks in just as I say this, lets out a coo of sorrow (whether for my physical appearance or despair, I'm not sure), and hands me a stack of paper towels. She consoles me for five minutes, then says she really has to pee, then I listen to her pee as I towel off my hair and face, then she continues to console me while she washes her hands.
After she leaves, some small part of my brain tells me I don't deserve her compassion. I did cheat on him in the first place.
That feeling is quickly replaced by anger at what he did. I mean, people cheat all the time. Getting tortured by masturbation and somehow controlled for hours on end? That's just inhumane. My feelings continue to oscillate on the matter, and before I know it, my hair is only slightly damp and my pride is more wounded than before.
I just need to talk to Conner. Maybe hit him. Then talk. I leave the bathroom with a sense of purpose, determined to restore my pride and get some answers. Oh, fuck. I let my head fall back in exasperation and let out a groan. I completely forgot Conner takes this class with me. He usually sleeps through it since he's not a morning person so I just forget he's there.
I just need to make sure he doesn't slip me anything. Maybe that's how he got us last night. My mind deviates slightly to Luke.
He left right after we got out of Conner's. He didn't even look at me, he just ran to the Uber he called on our way out. I'll have to call him later.
I get to my classroom and see the professor in the front, way past calling roll. Crap! This guy doesn't usually care about attendance, but if you walk in late he has a tendency to do a full psych evaluation for the worst minute of your life.
I sheepishly walk in, letting the door close lightly behind me. I walk past my normal seat next to Conner, who smirks at me and does a little wave, in the fourth row, making my way up to the back where there are always some empty seats.
"Violet Rochat. You are," Professor MacCormick looks down at the watch on his wrist, "seventeen minutes late." I've always enjoyed MacCormick's lectures because of his engaging teaching style and slight Irish lilt. I'm a sucker for a deep voice or an accent, and he has both. But this morning, that soft yet commanding voice is targeting me in a class of about 50. Doesn't sound as good as I remember it.
"I am so sorry, Professor. I got caught up in the bathroom because I had...some stuff in my hair?" His eyes directed on me make me question my statement towards the end. It's not that I usually flounder under pressure; however, I usually look more put together and therefore feel it.
He drags his eyes over my rumpled appearance, and I think he may stop on my somewhat moistened clothes, and I prepare for a mental invasion. His voice remains in that gentle tone as he asks, "Where are your books?"
Shit. Just another great thing to come out of the last half a day. "I forgot them. It's been a long night, I mean day" I say, unintentionally looking at Conner, who looks torn between laughing and feeling guilty.
"See me after class for a minute."
I nod, then sit and fold my hands in my lap. The next forty-ish minutes consist of me falling in and out of sleep, something that I think makes MacCormick more worried. It's not like I'm at the top of the class but I'm definitely up there, and I've never slept in his class.
His booming voice pierces my hazy fog of in-and-out sleep, and I catch the tail end of the lecture.
"...and that is, in short, why the broken trust in childhood relationships due to social norms hinders relationships in adulthood and leads to a fragile sense of self. But we all knew that after seeing how over 50% of American marriages end in divorce. Check Canvas for your reading assignments. Class dismissed."
