Foreplay: I began this as a spin off from 'The Book' and it just got bigger and bigger. This story begins over a year after 'The Book' and follows the rapidly improving skills of a young man (Ray) who has a vivid imagination and a penchant for erotic hypnosis. In this story Ray hypnotises both a colleague at the superstore where he works and his mum, both with unexpected results.
Brief recap of 'The Book'. Ray receives a hypnosis book through the post which his nosey neighbour (Elaine) finds out about. He hypnotises her to help bring back memories of her deceased husband and those memories turn out to be very arousing for her. Having managed to achieve this with her, he turns his skill to seducing his older sister, Mandy.
*****
Love doesn't always last eternally and my new relationship with Mandy was no exception. She eventually found love with someone her age and although sometimes I became a second choice fuck, she decided her future was to be with him. I never fully accepted that hypno-fucking Elaine, our 62 year old neighbour, was betraying Mandy, but I ran out of ideas of how to get Elaine to cum whilst thinking about happy times with her late husband. We cooled it for a long while and apart from picking up the odd parcel left with Elaine, I didn't see her much.
Elaine had promised to invite her granddaughter, Zara, over and to let her sit in on one of our hypno reunions with her deceased husband, John. At first this had been put on hold at Mandy's request, not through jealousy but an insistence I gave her more of my time.
Zara is 17 months older than me and, surprisingly for a girl, she's a bit of a technology geek. It was Zara who had managed to trace what was in my book package left at her grandma's from a simple barcode left on the package label. Zara had also told Elaine that hypnosis could have many benefits. She didn't visit her grandma very much but the two were in regular touch through video chat.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before mum found out about my hypno book. Unfortunately she found out about it from Elaine. Although she wasn't by any means as much a gossip as Elaine, they were talking on a particularly warm day when mum remarked that she'd been suffering a lot of headaches.
"Why don't you ask Ray?" asked Elaine.
"Why Ray?"
"Well surely there's something in that book of his that could help you relax."
"What book?"
And that was the same question I got from mum: "What book?"
"Oh, it's the Dumbo Guide to Hypnosis."
"Why would you need that?"
Fortunately I had the answer, already rehearsed. "Well I was reading on the Internet how helpful it could be." OK, I'd been honest, owned up, even showed mum the book, flicking to the part where it explained about total relaxation and tips on helping with migraines. Mum's attitude changed.
"So Elaine tells me. She also said you'd helped her remember John. I thought that was really good of you, and she also told me how relaxed and positive she felt felt afterwards - 'buzzing' was the word she used." Mum paused, "But why didn't you tell me?"
"I guess because you'd get the wrong idea; Mandy did. She thought hypnotists just made people do stupid things."
"Did Mandy let you hypnotise her?"
"Yes. She still lets me when she has a bad monthly."
"She tells you?"
"Oh come on, mum. I'm not 13 any longer."
"And it helps?"
"Yes. Doesn't make it any shorter but it's ace for making it bearable."
"So, my pills are wearing off and my headache is coming back. It's work putting pressure on me, I'm tired, I feel yeuk and I keep getting headaches. Could you help?"
"Sure, there are a few I've helped at work. It's quick and good. I could help you sleep better and I could even brighten your mood so you feel less tired."
"Really? Quick then before dad gets home. He doesn't believe in this mumbo jumbo."
"That's what sis said, and look at her now."
"Yes, she smiles a lot more ... that is before she went off with her new man. I'm sure she'd have told me if you were misusing your skill. Quite the opposite, she's thriving. Anyhow, we've about half an hour. Can you help me?"
"Sure; headache, sleep better, relax more ... and feel a bit happier, in a great mood too?"
"Yes," mum nodded her head. "Can you do that. I don't want dad on at me."
"I can, but it's much better if I take longer. Perhaps I can help just now and, if it works, try again tomorrow."
"Are you on the early shift?"
"Yes," I replied. It was a very early start but an early finish.
"OK, the office sent me home early today and I'm taking tomorrow as TOIL, time off in lieu of overtime pay. I'll be home all day."
"OK, so just sit on the comfy chair, take three deep breaths and exhale slowly." By the time I'd asked her to concentrate and relax, her eyelids were already drooping, "In that wonderful place, making you feel very relaxed and peaceful. You can feel a cool breeze on your forehead, relaxing you even more and sending you even deeper into hypnosis." So good so far. "Mum, your headache is now forgotten and you can relax like this anytime you want, in fact you feel good, you feel young and sexy again and also any time our hands touch you can decide how sexy you feel, like when you were 21. And tonight, mum, you will sleep better than you've slept for ages and you'll feel so sexy you'll insist that dad takes care of your needs. Nod if you understand." Not only did I get a nod, but a smile too. "Mum, I'm going to bring you out of hypnosis, but you'll not know you've been hypnotised. And mum, you'll be eager to tell me everything tomorrow ... 3,2,1."
"Well aren't you going to try to hypnotise me?" Mum asked, reaching over to touch my hand.
"I tried to," I lied, "But you were maybe too stressed. I'll try tomorrow."
"Well my headache has gone and I feel so much better for sitting down. Thanks for trying." She touched my hand again. "Maybe it just helped listening to you. Anyway, I'd better get dad's meal made." She stood, held both my hands and kissed me and then she pressed against me for just a moment, squeezing my butt, then pulled away without any hint as to why she'd kissed me. "You're a good lad," she added, squeezing my butt again then walking into the kitchen.
We always ate together now that Mandy had gone, except when I worked late. If there was sport on TV, dad and I usually watched. That night there wasn't and I tried once again to save civilisation from being annihilated, courtesy of my laptop. Bedtime came and I laid awake wondering if mum was following my implanted suggestions, then the next I remember it was 6.30am and I was was woken by the sound of voices, then bed creaks from my parents room.
As usual I showered, dressed, grabbed a quick bite to eat and caught the first bus into town. We had a busy day in the warehouse and the day passed quickly.
