I've been writing shorter chapters as more of a challenge to myself, but it seems to annoy people that they're so short and people have said they'd prefer a long wait and longer chapters, so here you go! Sorry for the delay, as you can imagine right now things are a bit chaotic, so writing has to take a back seat to other things! Also, from here on, the story is going to get a little crazier, with different kinks and fetishes being introduced!
...
Vex taught Ethan something called the 'potion of the open mind'. According to her it was one of the earliest forms of mental manipulation developed, which meant it had limits, but also that it was fairly easy to make in comparison to stronger methods. Unfortunately it did require some ingredients that weren't so easy to get hold one, one in particular being the silver leaf of a plant called a Cardoon.
He had managed to track some down online, but it would take a week to be delivered and so he had no choice but to wait. It wasn't a boring week though, he had noticed both Anna and Ruby now walked around the house with almost constant wet patches in the crotch of their panties and would disappear to their rooms at random times of day.
He spent the week spying on each of them, watching them bring themselves to multiple orgasms. Anna had received a delivery in the week and quickly rushed up to her room with it. Ethan had watched as she had unpacked a brand new dildo and subsequently tested it out, bringing herself to a body shaking orgasm. Each time he saw her, Ethan wanted to fuck her more and more.
Finally, the leaves arrived and he made the potion. From the writings Vex had showed him, the person who drank the potion would enter a suggestive state for thirty minutes, no more and no less. In that time, anything they heard would sink into their subconscious and influence their behaviour. As with the perception spell, they couldn't be made to believe anything that would be against their core beliefs. So Ethan couldn't just tell Anna that she wanted to fuck him, she would reject that.
Vex had instead suggested using multiple doses, each time changing her beliefs a just a little bit and then giving her time to adjust. She explained if he changed Anna's thoughts that way, she would be less likely to reject him. At worst, if he pushed to hard she would just leave the trance and forget anything she had heard, but it would waste a dose of the potion.
He waited until Ruby had showered and retreated to her room for the evening before going to join Anna on the sofa. She was watching her crappy soap opera again, but Ethan didn't mind. He offered to get her a drink and she agreed that would be nice so he went to the kitchen. He two glasses of red wine and emptied dose of the potion into one before returning to Anna and handing it to her.
He sat down and watched her carefully from the corner of his eye as she drank the wine. It took a while, but she eventually finished the glass. After a few moments, her eyes seemed to glaze over and he knew it had taken effect. He hit a timer on his phone, giving him twenty five minutes. The last thing he wanted was her waking up in the middle of him saying something he didn't want her remembering.
"Anna, can you hear me?" He asked.
"Yes," she replied in a flat emotionless voice.
"What do you think of me?" He asked. Vex had also said an additional effect of the potion was that it acted as a truth serum while the person was in the trance state.
"I think you're a very nice young man. A little geeky and skinny, but I'm very proud of the man you've become," Anna replied. That answer made Ethan pause for a moment. Here Anna was saying how proud of the man he had become she was, while he was trying to manipulate her mind into wanting to fuck him. He almost stopped until his eyes roamed her scantily clad body and his cock swelled.
"Would you ever consider a sexual relationship with me?" He asked.
"No," Anna replied.
"Do you think I'm attractive?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"You're my step son, it would be wrong."
"What if I wasn't your step son?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"You're not my type."
Well this wasn't going how Ethan had planned. He had at least hope there would be some ground work to start on. Now he had to start from scratch, convince her that she was at least attracted to him so he could work up to wanting to fuck him. Vex had warned him how to word his commands. He couldn't just tell her that she found him attractive, that would break the trance.
"You've noticed Ethan more and more recently, that he's not longer a teenager, but a real man."
No reaction. Good.
He continued these sessions each night for a week, repeating time and again key phrases and slowly increasing her attention to him and her loneliness.
"You've been noticing Ethan more and more."
"You're lonely, you need a man in your life."
"You have a man in your life, Ethan."
"Why go out and find a new man when you have one living under the same roof as you?"
"Ethan might not be your usual type, but they have never worked out. Maybe it's time to try something new."
"You've been thinking more and more about Ethan, you've been wondering what he looks like naked."
"You want to see Ethan naked."
He had been anxious about that last one. If it went against her thoughts too much, it would break the trance. To his surprise, she accepted it without question. He still had a few minutes until the trance ended so he decided to see if it had really worked.
"How do you feel about Ethan?" He asked.
"I love him, he's my step son."
Not quite what he wanted to hear. He decided to try being more direct.
"Do you want to see Ethan naked?"
"Yes."
She didn't elaborate. He had found while in a trance she would only answer in basic responses unless he specified otherwise, but that was good enough. He had planted the seed. Now for the final push.
"You want to see Ethan naked, no, you NEED to see him naked and when you do, you'll find him extremely attractive."
Again, no response. Ethans alarm went off on his phone. He quickly sat back and unpaused the TV. He had noticed that while she would forget about being in a trance, she had started to notice some time as missing. He had managed to play it off as just her losing track of time, but had paused the TV in hopes that if it carried on from where it was when she was in the trance, she wouldn't notice.
"Want some more wine?" He asked as he noticed her come round. He had also found quickly distracting had made her notice something was off less.
"That'd be nice," Anna replied, smiling at him. He noticed her eyes quickly roam his body as he took her glass. He retrieved them both another glass and sat down. Once the show finished, he announced he was going to take a shower.
He went upstairs and to the bathroom, leaving the door slightly open before undressing and stepping into the hot water. From the shower he could see the door in the mirror behind the sink. After a few minutes, he saw exactly what he was hoping for. Peering into the gap in the door was Anna, watching him shower. He pretended not to notice, only watching from the corner of his eye.
What he wasn't expecting was to see her slide her hand into her panties. She was masturbating right there in the hall while watching him shower. He couldn't believe it until he remembered the arousal spell. That combined with finding him incredibly attractive apparently had pushed her over the edge. His cock grew hard and he purposely turned to give her a good view.
He couldn't help but look, staring straight at her as she fingered herself while staring at his cock in the mirror. Ethan's heart was racing and almost stopped when she looked up and locked eyes with him. They both froze, he thought she would freak out and run away, but she didn't. Instead she did the one thing Ethan was not expecting, she entered the bathroom.
"Mind if I join you?" She asked, her voice purring seductively. Ethan hadn't planned for this. Anna had always been his innocent step mother, never doing anything quite this bold.
"Errr... Sure?" Ethan replied, all his confidence suddenly melting away as she advanced. Magic had made him confident, put him in control, manipulating things as he wanted, but suddenly he wasn't in control, she was and she looked at him like a predator staring at its prey.
"Move over," she smiled, advancing as she reached behind her and unclipped her bra. Her perky breasts barely moved as the material fell away, revealing her hard pink nipples. She hooked her thumbs into her panties and shimmied them down, revealing her cleanly shaved twat as she stepped forward, dropping the panties to the ground. She reached her hand out and placed it against Ethan's chest, pushing him against the wall of the shower as she stepped under the water.
Ethan moved as directed, unsure what to do as she sank to her knees. She gripped his cock, grinning up at him before taking it into her mouth. Ethan groaned as her wet hot mouth engulfed the head of his cock. He felt her swirling her tongue around its tip before taking him deeper. This had only been a recent fantasy of his, but he couldn't believe it was coming true.
She worked his cock with expert movements, she had obviously had a lot of practice at this. Regaining some of his composure, he grabbed her head, wrapping his fingers in her hair and encouraging to take him deeper. He felt himself hitting the back of her throat as wet gurgling sounds began to compete with the noise of the shower.
He looked down at her, she had his cock in her mouth as one hand gripped the base of his shaft and the over disappeared between her own legs. Knowing she was playing with herself while sucking his cock almost pushed Ethan over the edge and he willed himself to not finish just yet. It seemed Anna sensed he was close as she pulled off his cock and stood up.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. Ethan grabbed her tight ass and squeezed as her tongue invaded his mouth. They kissed for a few moments before she pulled back, smiling at him deviously before jumping up and wrapping her legs around him.
