It has been quite a while but I thought I would come back to 'Tingles' and see if I could round things off for Alison a little better. I had left her in a bit of an uncertain place. I know it's been a long while - I've been a bit busy doing some other things.
As for categories, this story could go in a lot of different categories - I had originally intended to file it under mind control but I've decided it should go into 'Incest'. I'm not sure it really is, it's just the product of my weird imagination! But if you do decide to read on, firstly be warned there's certainly an undercurrent of the forbidden about it, you'll see what I mean if you turn the page...
I hope you enjoy it, and as always, everyone's over 18 including the author!

Afterwards Alison wondered whether she had missed any of the signs. She didn't think so.
She lived in a quiet village with her husband Ian, had no children, and most weekends they relaxed and led a quiet life. Outwardly normal but Alison knew she was an exceptional lady. A few weeks ago she had been given a new ability. You could call it a gift. All she needed was to touch someone, the slightest contact would do, and she could be inside their minds ... delivering something dangerous there. It could range from a mild sedative, to turning their minds to mush. For weeks she had practiced quietly and patiently but last night it had got away from her. She'd used combinations on her neighbours. Ellie, their 20 year old niece had surprised her. She had only needed her mind broadened a little. Her Uncle Garry had needed even less, just some encouragement, and in minutes he was upstairs with Ellie.
It had felt so wrong yet almost natural in her heightened state. Once that had happened, Alison couldn't take any chances and she had blown open his wife's mind. Gaynor had not stood a chance, the woman's inhibitions had been ripped away. The four of them had had quite a night. In the morning Gaynor's sister Carol had arrived unexpectedly, and Alison had decided things were getting complicated. She needed to leave her neighbours to their new relationships and get out of the house quickly. She had slowed Carol's thoughts to a crawl, and had asked the woman to drive her home. Alison had sat patiently in the passenger seat knowing that once Carol was home she would take a cab to her house. A dangerous evening but she'd just about stayed in control. Carol had indeed driven home, and standing on her doorstep Alison had met Carol's husband John.
She really didn't think she'd missed any warnings.

It was a lovely sunny morning, cool and bright. The birds were signing in the trees and the sounds of people going about their lives in the distance. Alison strode up to the house with Carol; she just wanted to make sure that the woman was home. Carol was still dazed and Alison needed to make sure she was safe. It was then that she first heard Carol's husband's voice.
"Please stop right there Alison," John said.
"You do not want to leave so quickly. I would like you to come inside the house with us. I can see Carol is tired and will take some time to recover. You and I can take that time to get to know each other and you can tell me exactly what you've done to her."
His voice was quiet yet confident, like he was used to getting his way.
"I mean exactly what's happened to her, and then what happened last night at her sister's house."
He stopped for a moment, drawing breath, and it was at that moment that Alison knew she was in trouble. She felt his consciousness reach out and hold hers. Something shifted in her thoughts, something deep in her psyche. She knew that even though he hadn't touched her, he had somehow taken control of her. He'd done something akin to how she had dulled his wife. Then she shuddered as she felt another movement inside her mind. He was deeper now.
She tried resisting, struggling, her brow furrowed, trying to disengage, to pull away and run. But it was like pushing against a brick wall.
"Just accept this, don't struggle. You won't be able to win. Accept this when I tell you and nod your head when I pause. Nodding indicates that you accept and understand what I'm saying."
Alison paused and thought over his words, thinking them through. Then almost out of her body she felt her head move, nodding. And as she did this the rest of the world seemed to fall away. The sounds in the distance seemed to quieten, almost like a volume control had been turned down. Her arms fell to her sides and she stood there passively, waiting for instruction.
"Carol," he said. "Please go inside and wait for us in the family room."
