And we're back! Sorry about the hiatus, my lovelies. When we'd last left off, Senya, still with his memories of his first encounter with the Thriae erased, had just visited the Thriae for a second time to acquire an amulet meant to make him immune to mind control. This, however, requires the involvement of dear little Sylvia...
~~~~ ~~~~
Senya's mind slowly sank into honey as the Thriae looked on with delight. It was almost humiliating. It was almost shameful. But it felt so, so good.
And it was inevitable, really. Senya knew he could no more easily resist than he could ever look away from Sylvia's beautiful golden eyes. Which would be resisting. Which he couldn't do. And wasn't that why he was here?
The longer Sylvia spoke, the more aroused she seemed to get. The more aroused Sylvia got, the more aroused Senya got. The more aroused Senya got, the harder it got to tear his eyes away from her eyes. And he needed to watch her eyes. She'd told him it was very important to watch her eyes.
"That's right," the petite, wasp-waisted fey cooed at him, golden curls bouncing around her heart-shaped face as she put a hand to her mouth to hide her giggles. "
Juuuust
keep, like, lookin' at my pretty eyes, cutie. Good boy.
Gooood
boy."
Senya's head swayed. Sylvia seemed utterly delighted with him, and he felt utterly delighted with her. With her beautiful eyes. With her smooth, curvy body. He could smell the aroma of her spicy private mead even now, and unconsciously licked his lips.
"Now," Sylvia whispered, leaning just a little bit closer, "let's get started."

My dear brother,
Man, that postal system's a bummer, huh? Still waiting to hear from you—haven't gotten anything since you arrived at the inn. How'd that milk taste?
So, I kinda started doing my own homework while I've been waiting. Work's slow, and I can afford to be idle. And, uh, I've read some freaky stuff about that area. Still no record of an 'Ambrosia Ranch', but there are these records that indicate a Thriae hive in the area. We both know not to fuck with them. Those human-haters would break you like a twig if given the chance, and they could do it, too.
Also, I found some records talking about some sort of ancient fey prison run by the natives? It's in the area, too. That ranch might be in a bit of danger if it's near the prison. Hopefully Uncle Yvun wasn't up to anything too shady. No, you know what? I can't even say that jokey-joke.
Getting a bit worried, to be honest. I know it hasn't been super long, but we usually write pretty regularly, and these are weird situations.
Are you even receiving these?
~~~~
"Deeper," Sylvia breathed. "Deeper, boytoy. Mm..."
Senya was as deep as he could go. Sylvia's face was inches away from his. He could smell her sweet breath, could almost taste her lips on his. She would be so sweet and syrupy...
"Okay!" she giggled. "Now, I want you to look away from my eyes..."
Impossible. Absurd. He could never look away from her beautiful, perfect, amber
"...and look at this instead!"
His eyes locked on a dangling glass heart. The heart shimmered, and he realized it was filled with what looked like liquid silver.
Quicksilver.
But it was reflecting everything around it right now, and so it was gold.
His eyes sank into it easily. The glass heart dangled from a thin golden chain. It was like staring into a Thriae's eyes.
And something about it made him feel...
warm
.
"This is your heart," Sylvia said, beaming at him. She twirled the chain, causing the heart to flash and sparkle. Senya gasped in wonder. "I hold it, see?"
There was a murmur from next to Senya, but he didn't understand what it was. Only Sylvia mattered right now. Sylvia, Lala and Lata, and Lata and Lala were just watching him, slowly stroking themselves, smiling, licking their lips like examining a delicious future meal...
His eyes flickered back onto the heart.
"Sorry, Bobbi," Sylvia said, biting her lip. "Sometimes I just can't help myself, y'know? I'm such a ditz, I see this sexy little sub and I'm like, o-m-g, gotta fuck his brains out!" She giggled.
"Ah?" Senya vaguely registered what she was saying, but not consciously. Instead, it just sank into his open, receiving head.
Can't help myself.
Sexy little sub.
Fuck brains out.
Gods, she's so beautiful...
"Master," cooed Sylvia, returning his attention to her words. He watched to stare at her fulsome yellow lips, watch the way they embraced the word, watch the way they curved upward in a smirk at the end of it, but that was totally outside his abilities. He had to look at the heart. had to let her hold his heart and just... drift... into it... "I'm holding your heart, and your heart's holding your attention, so that means I have your attention, 'kay?"
"'kay..." Senya was drooling a little, but he barely noticed it. Someone wiped it away with a napkin. He still barely noticed. Behind the heart, he vaguely registered Lala and Lata moving to sit on Sylvia's left side so they could kiss and grope and fondle one another more easily.
"Good boy," Sylvia breathed, and Senya shivered at her words. "So nice to just give in, to give it all in. Give it all in."
"Give it all in," he repeated dully.
"Yes!" she said happily. "Give it all in. Give it all in to the heart, let it all sink in there. I'm gonna ask you some stuff, so we can make your heart beat okay. Sound good?"
"Mm..." Senya smiled dreamily. "Yes, Sylvia."
"Yay! 'Kay, so, like, first off:" The heart began to slowly swing, like a pendulum. it felt like Senya's whole mind was being sent reeling, and he felt a little dizzy. "Like, what's your name, Master?"
"Senya Wetherdean." The words spilled out of him like... like sand from a sieve. And the, he realized, they were gone.
He couldn't remember.
He couldn't remember his own name.
He had a momentary bout of panic, but Sylvia smiled, and this sent his thoughts receding like waves after an earthquake. "Easy," she breathed. "Shh. Shh. It's okay. I'm just borrowing those cute little thoughts so your brain can, like, work for me instead of for you. Sound good?"
"Uh..."
The heart swung back and forth. Back and forth.
"G-good..."
"Good boy," Sylvia said, delighted. "Next question: What's your favorite kinda girl to fuck?"
The crudeness of the question didn't even make him blink—not that he could, with the heart captivating him. Still, embarrassment burned in him as the words slipped out unbidden, working around his own conscious understanding and delving deeper still. "Strong," he whimpered. "Girly. Ditzy, but smarter than me. Claims what she wants. Generous. So, so generous..."
"Ooh." Sylvia was very quiet now. She was still inches from him, and she looked very bothered. "And... what's she look like?"
"... big breasts... big butt..." Senya couldn't stop the words from flowing out. "Big eyes... eyes that captivate, that control me... big, soft lips..."
Sylvia seemed to be leaning in closer—almost close enough to disrupt Senya's swinging heart. "Why, Master," she whispered, tongue darting out and licking across his lips, causing syrupy sweetness to blossom on his tongue, "this girl sounds a little bit like...
me
."
Senya panted as the flavor coursed through him.
"
Is
it me?' she cooed sweetly.
"Yes."
There was a long pause, and Senya thought that Sylvia was about to tackle him. She was panting, eyes wide and almost feral.
Lala moaned something amid her lovemaking with Lata, and Sylvia seemed to give a start. She leaned back a little, though she was still very close to him, and it was still very warm. "Next question," she said, and Senya realized he could scarcely remember what she'd just asked. His ideal woman? Who could that be?
He stared at the girly, ditzy, dominant wasp-waisted blonde across from him, and felt her big eyes drowning him in his own desire. He couldn't possibly guess. Not anymore.
"Who controls you?" she cooed.
"You do."
"Mm." She pursed her lips. "Shoulda been more specific! Heehee! Okay, nevermind that one." Senya realized he could once again remember his answer. That was good. He'd hate to forget how easily this gorgeous Thriae controlled him. "Aside from me, who's normally in charge of you, stud?"
"I am."
"Ding-ding-ding!" She beamed at him. "Good boy! Can you, like, repeat that for me?"
Senya stared at her. He still felt the lingering pleasure from her praise, and he longed to obey. But...
... he found he didn't know.
"Well? Who controls you?" She batted her eyelashes as the heart swung back and forth, awash in reflected gold.
"I don't know," he whispered.
"Good boy!"
There was another brief bout of external murmuring. Sylvia looked to the side, over Senya's shoulder. "Just one more, Bobbi. This is important." Sylvia turned back to Senya. "Okay. One more question: Who's the most important person in your life?
Aside
from us honey babes, I mean." She winked.
"My sister, Anya."
"Oooh." She arched her eyebrows. "Now
that's
a fun one!"
More murmuring, this time sharp enough to make Lata and Lala stop kissing and look over with heavy-lidded amber eyes. The murmdering was actually quite loud this time, and Sylvia flinched. Senya was glad he didn't need to pay it any heed.
"He'll get it all back," the Thriae said sulkily. More murmuring. "Well, as long as he wears, it, yeah! I gotta ask these questions, Bobbi-baby, Jerrod, sweetie. It won't work otherwise! Please don't be mad?" She gave big puppydog eyes over Senya's shoulder. Senya wasn't even their target, but he melted all the same. How could anyone be mad at wonderful Sylvia?
There was a pause, and Sylvia relaxed. "Okay. Let's move on." She locked eyes with Senya again—or tried to, anyways. Senya was still staring deep into the heart amulet. Was it somehow more sparkly now?
Oh. Sylvia's eyes were glowing now. A very bright glittering metallic gold.
"Senya Wetherdean," she said softly, "this heart is going to embody you at your very-very-
very
strongest. It's gonna be a reservoir of willpower that can't be broken, so that no matter what, nothing can get a hold on your cute, weak little mind. So I'm gonna need you to be super-duper good for me now and focus all those tiny little thoughts you have left into what I say, okay?"
"Okay," he repeated, his mind numb.
Sylvia smiled brightly. "Okay! Now, first off:
I need to be strong
. Can you think that?
I need to be strong.
"
Senya felt the words sinking into him, and his conscious and subconscious absorbed them and processed them.
