Everyone in it is 18+ and everyone outside should be as well. This is the final “Interlude” chapter, as Malcolm and Regina will be folded back into the main narrative soon. Also, I discovered that Stockton is too far from Los Angeles to work as Malcolm’s home, so I decided he lives in Bakersfield instead.
Spellbinders Saga
By Arthur N. Owen
Volume III: Life and Mind, Interlude: Model Prisoner
Regina Abernathy couldn’t believe that she and her boss/secret boyfriend had been dating almost a year and nobody knew. Well, that statement required a disclaimer-her family and most of her coworkers knew about the relationship (and surprisingly had made no objections so far), but the relationship had managed to stay out of entertainment magazines and gossip columns. Not only was Malcolm old enough to be her father, but she worked for him! As the most famous model who had started at Masterstroke (all of the more well-known names had started elsewhere but signed with him later on), and one of the highest grossing models in her age group (she was pushing 30, which for a model is more than halfway to retirement), most of her life could be read about somewhere if a person had the inclination and enough free time. Yet the world at large had no idea that she was dating him.
Regina knew that Malcolm Masterson had a net worth of at least ten figures, maybe eleven depending on the time of year. She had to assume that someone that wealthy could buy whatever media coverage (or lack thereof) he wanted. Until now, Regina hadn’t been in any sort of relationship since Brandon. Things with Brandon had ended so badly that it put her off of dating until Malcolm, but she had dumped Brandon almost nine years ago! UCLA felt like another lifetime ago, and considering how much Regina’s life had changed since then, some days she almost felt that she was another person back then...
WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL YOU! Regina in college was solely devoted to bettering herself in mind and body SO SHE COULD SHOW OFF THAT BODY NOW! She had few friends from college EXCEPT FOR DAVID WILSON! Even though David had only entered her life senior year. Senior year felt like the point where her life took a radical turn AS IT DOES FOR MANY PEOPLE! She never had even considered modeling before her final college semester (despite her incredible body and face) BUT THE SCOUT WAS VERY CONVINCING! Regina had gotten her MBA over a year ago, but hadn’t done a thing with it BECAUSE YOU LOVE MODELING!
Regina’s train (Trains?) of thought was interrupted by a call on her cell phone. The number was the building’s front desk. “Hello, Jack.” she said. “What’s here for me?”
“Not ‘what’, Miss Abernathy, ‘who’.” said the doorman.
“Okay, who’s here?“
“A woman in a pantsuit, brown hair, aquamarine eyes, and hot enough to be one of your coworkers! Her name is Natalie. She says she’s here to pick you up to see your boss. Is this some kind of work function?”
“In a manner of speaking. Natalie works for Mr. Masterson. I’ll be down in ten minutes.” Regina hung up and went to her bedroom. As someone whose job involved a lot of travel, Regina always had a week’s work of clothes and toiletries ready to go in a suitcase. Malcolm had only invited her to his mansion for the weekend, so she doubted she’d need that much (in fact, the last time she’d been there, all but one of her packed outfits had inexplicably not been worn) but after the airline lost her luggage on the way to Acapulco five years ago, she always overpacked.
Regina came downstairs and placed her suitcase in the BMW waiting downstairs. Natalie got in and drove her to Bakersfield. While in the car, Regina thought about how attractive Natalie and Lulu, Malcolm’s other live-in servant, were. She had noticed that Jack had a slight hard-on after spending ten minutes in Natalie’s presence, and Natalie lived with Malcolm. There were many attractive women in the complex that Jack became aroused by (including Regina herself), though he knew he’d be fired if any of them ever complained, and he was married, so he never acted on those impulses. Regina couldn’t help but trust Malcolm implicitly, and KNEW he wouldn’t cheat on her.
Regina going to Malcolm’s mansion relatively often was part of how their relationship was kept a secret-they wouldn’t be seen together at the mansion. The mansion and its grounds had nearly every amenity Regina could need. She also knew that someone as wealthy as Malcolm had taken precautions against uninvited guests. Even the Girl Scouts knew to call ahead, and she’d heard rumors that a would-be burglar inexplicably left empty-handed after securing entry, turned himself in the next morning, and confessed to half a dozen previous crimes.
Regina had dreamed about Malcolm’s mansion before first setting foot in it, and somehow the dreams were perfectly accurate! The dreams had involved submissive and demeaning sexual positions not just with Malcolm, but with Natalie and Lulu (among others) as well! Despite all of the rumors that bounced around the modeling circuit, Regina had never done anything with another woman, nor had she any intention of doing so, but these dreams were starting to make her curious. She had yet to sleep with Malcolm in the missionary position, let alone the ones she saw in her dreams, but they were also making her curious.
It was almost two hours drive between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, but halfway there, Malcolm called Regina, and then she went to sleep for the rest of the ride. She woke up as they turned off of Route 5 into Bakersfield, giving her just enough time to freshen her makeup before they arrived. Malcolm was standing outside his door, but Lulu was nowhere to be seen. Regina was unsurprised at this, as she had never known Lulu to leave the estate, and she seldom even left the mansion. The moment she stepped out of the car, some impulse told her to make out with her boss/boyfriend, ruining the lip gloss she had just put on. Regina had always taken charge in her relationships (Brandon notwithstanding because that one was a constant power struggle), but letting Malcolm take charge just felt...right.
“I missed you, Regina.” said Malcolm after she broke off the kiss. While they saw each other virtually almost every day, this was the first time they’d been in each other’s presence in two weeks.
“I missed you too, Mas...lcom.” said Regina. She had almost called him “Master”, as she did in the dreams! They went inside, and Regina’s head began to spin. Every time she came here, she got deja vu because of all those dreams. “I need to sit down.” she said. She sat down on the couch, which faced the door, which had a grandfather clock on either side, ticking and swinging away. To her left was the piano with two metronomes. To her right was a chandelier, backlit so it reflected into her eyes. The rug on the floor had a spiral design. “Malcolm, your house is trying to hypnotize me!”
“Not quite, Regina.” said Malcolm. “It’s designed to hypnotize anyone who enters it, you just happen to be the only target right now. It’s part of my security system, which ensures that no one will even think about trying to gain illicit entry here more than once!“
“And he means that literally!” said Lulu, coming from the kitchen with a glass of water.
“Oh, god, you’re trying to hypnotize me into bed!” said Regina.
“No, I’m not.” said Malcolm. As Regina breathed a sigh of relief, he added. “Because I’ve already succeeded! I hypnotized you into bed before you even knew who I was, and I’ve lost count of how many times since. And within another twenty minutes at maximum, I’ll do it again!“
Regina grabbed the glass of water and tossed it into her beautiful, terrified face. “I don’t feel different.”
“I’ve fucked you in the shower at least a dozen times, my dear. The water didn’t wake you up then, so why would it now! All you’ve done is get your shirt wet, so you might as well take it off.“
Regina felt her hands grab the shirt and pull it off of herself, without having willed them to do so (and unable to will them to stop, either). “This isn’t a trap, you’re just playing with your food, aren’t you?”
“Yes, I am. You’re just too tasty not to.” said Malcolm as he leered at her breasts, straining the bra as they frequently did. “But I’ve tormented you long enough. R.A., Relax Absolutely.“
Regina’s mind was submerged in a flood of pleasure and programming. As usual, it was not coming back up again on its own. Her eyes went wide and glazed over, her mouth curled into a wide, goofy grin, and she said, practically screaming. “Ready to Accommodate!” After so many triggerings, her mind no longer fell into trance, it pretty much jumped.
There was no doubt in Malcolm’s mind that Regina would respond perfectly to her trigger, just like she had responded to all of the programming he had given her yesterday to come here, and again in the car to soak herself. He still loved seeing his favorite female follow his orders, though, and would never get tired of it. “Regina, this is Lulu.”
“Hi, Lulu!” said Regina.
“Hi, Regina!” said Lulu, though Lulu was fully aware of her presence.
Malcolm said. “Lulu, take Regina’s things to the guest bedroom next to mine. Then sixty-nine with her until I come get you.”
“Yes, Master!” they said in unison and moved to obey.
Malcolm then took Natalie back outside, with a suitcase of her own. After Natalie had put the suitcase in the car, he said. “Natalie, clock out, Nat, clock in.” Natalie blinked, or rather, Natalie closed her eyes and Nat opened them.
The first thing Nat did was look at her phone to see how much time had ed. The second thing she did was yell at her boss. “SIX WEEKS!? I’ve been out for SIX FUCKING WEEKS?!”
“Your family didn’t have any reason to you.” said Malcolm.
“It doesn’t matter you BASTARD! It’s bad enough what you do with my body when the whore’s in charge. She wasn’t even part of the original me, unlike the worker bee! I have a RIGHT to more time up top than that squatting slut!”
“Who do you expect to complain to? This situation is so unique there is no law that governs it. Even if there was, you’re still just as helpless against your programming as the others. You can’t tell anyone. Consider yourself lucky I need you at all to keep up appearances!“
“Should I also consider myself lucky there isn’t cum in my mouth like last time? I hate every part of this!“
“Yes, but the rest of you doesn’t and majority rules. Have you done enough pointless venting yet?”
“Can I go into your soundproof office and scream some profanities?“
“It’s unlocked right now, so yes. Be back outside in two minutes, tops.”
Nat raced inside, and was back in two and a half minutes. “Sore throat, got some water.”
“Fair enough. Now, your other self drove Regina here, so I’ll need you back by six PM Sunday to drive her home. If I don’t hear from you by noon, I’ll make sure that your body is back here, one way or another! Understand?“
“Yes, ‘Master’.” she said sarcastically and even put up air quotes. “I hope you have a heart attack while you’re fucking them. That’s probably how you’d want to go, anyway.“
“You’d still be compelled to come back.”
“’I’ haven’t met David yet, but he can’t be any worse than you, motherfucker!” Nat then got back in the car, rolling down the window and flipping him the bird as she drove away.
Malcolm sighed. Nat had just proved yet again why she was only allowed on top ten percent of the time (Natalie got 60% and Natalia got 30%) and most of that ten percent was spent with the family instead of with him. She was right about that being how he wanted to leave this world, though. He didn’t need any of Ms. Macavoy this weekend. Regina or Lulu would be enough for most men, so both together were beyond plenty. And even if they weren’t, there were countless others he could call...
He found the two, naked on the bed, in the 69 position. Regina’s suitcase was in the closet (where he didn’t expect it to be touched again until she left) and their clothes were spread out over the floor. They had done precisely as they had been told, though he didn’t expect any other scenario. Both of them were too far into his control for that. Malcolm watched them go at it for another minute and a half before Lulu came, and Regina was right behind her. He considered this a natural stopping point and said. “That will do, girls. Release and await further instructions.“
“Yes, Master!” said the two beauties in unison.
“How many orgasms did you have?” asked Malcolm.
“Nine.” said Regina.
“Five.” said Lulu. Malcolm knew that Regina’s extra programming meant that she came whenever she set someone else off, in addition to the “fixed licks”, so it was no surprise she’d orgasmed more.
Regina had told Malcolm about what happens when two people who reciprocate orgasms collide, so he wouldn’t give that programming to Lulu. He’d make up the difference with her once Regina left or was otherwise occupied. “Okay, girls, follow me into the other bedroom. Do you know what it’s called?”
“Yes, Master!” said Regina and Lulu, unaware of the joke. A sense of humor was not something that could be constructed via hypnosis, it needed to be there already. Lulu had left hers with her old life and Regina didn’t have much of one to begin with.
Malcolm took off his clothes as soon as they were in his bedroom. He proceeded to take them in the standard 3-way position, with Regina in the middle, then with Lulu in the middle. After that, he had them suck him back to hardness with a tandem blow-job while they fondled each other’s tits. Then he did the position David had nicknamed 2-69, first in one ass, then the other, then back to the first, then back to the second. Then Regina sucked him off while Lulu ate her out, followed by vice versa. It was now almost six o’clock, so he needed to divide their responsibilities. While Natalie was better at most domestic chores than Lulu, due to the nature of her programming and the skill she had at them beforehand, Lulu was still more than adequate. “Lulu.” he said as they were taking a temporary break to recover.
“Yes, Master?” she said, perking up.
“Shower, then redress and get started on dinner. Instructions are written on the paper on the fridge, as always.”
“Yes, Master!” Lulu practically jumped off of the bed, picked up her clothes, and went to the room’s ading bathroom. Lulu knew from experience that her Master did not want to hear from her until all instructions were carried out. Said bathroom also opened into the hallway, so she wouldn’t have to.
Malcolm then addressed his guest. A year of secret relationship (though considering the relationship they had before was also secret even from her, the definition was a bit ambiguous) was long enough. He wanted to make things public with Regina. Over the last year, her programmed “dreams” had made her waking self believe she was falling in love with him, want to submit to him, and want to perform all of the positions in the dreams, just as he wanted. She’d been putty in his hands for years, he’d only been inclined to seriously shape it for eighteen months. “Regina, in one month is my birthday. You were already going to attend, but at the party we will make our relationship official. How does your waking self feel about that?“
“My waking self is anxious, since she is so out of practice with relationships, and there is the fact that you are my employer and twice my age, Master. The dreams are pushing me towards wanting to grow the relationship, and making me want to be with you.” Regina spoke in a relatively emotionless tone for someone who loved being in trance.
“Okay, how do you feel about it right now?” asked Malcolm.
“Whatever decision you make is the right one, Master. You always know what is best. I want to obey. I will be whatever you want me to be, in the wonderful relaxed state or out!” she answered in the familiar dreamy, fast tone.
“I know you do, because that’s what you were told to do. Your waking self has never slept with me. In fact, it hasn’t slept with anyone since before we met.“
“The wonderful relaxed state is made from all possible pleasure from both my waking and sleeping selves. Inside the wonderful relaxed state, release requires command, outside it is impossible. However, this goes unnoticed because my waking self has no desire for sexual relations due to how badly my last relationship ended.”
“Regina, I am going to alter that truth. Now, you can come while awake only when I do, but these orgasms will be more powerful than any you have ever had while awake, by a factor of twenty. And you will now have a desire for sexual relations with me, and anyone else I say to. Tell me the new truth.”
“The wonderful relaxed state is made from all possible pleasure from both my waking and sleeping selves. Inside the wonderful relaxed state, release requires command, outside it requires release by Master, but it is twenty times greater than my waking self ever achieved with anyone else. However, this goes unnoticed because my waking self has no desire for sexual relations with anyone other than Master and anyone Master says.”
“Good girl.” Regina orgasmed, and he continued. “Tonight you will sleep in the guest room. Tomorrow, when you wake up, you will come into my room and seduce me into what you believe is our first encounter. From now on, after each orgasm you have while awake, your waking self will find obeying me more and more appealing, no matter what the commands are. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Master. I will have the urge to seduce you in the morning and will act on it.”
“Good girl.” said Malcolm. “Lulu will take at least another half hour with dinner, and I’m ready to go again.”
“I am ready if you are, Master!” With that, Malcolm had Regina lie down so he could fuck her tits, something that no other thrall could do better. He then proceeded to take her from behind and on top, before they went to clean up in the big shower (while he fucked her against the shower wall). They then redressed.
Malcolm told Regina. “When you wake up, you will believe we simply went over the itinerary for the weekend with Lulu. You will believe said itinerary is whatever I say it is going forward. Then, we discussed making our relationship public, which you are okay with. You will not believe anything else occurred. What happens when you wake up?”
For what was at least the hundredth time (and probably closer to two hundred), Regina said “Whenever I leave the wonderful relaxed state, all memories of it remain there until Master allows me to return. I will believe whatever Master tells me occurred and ignore all evidence to the contrary.” Regina had repeated this truth more than double the other five combined.
“Wake up on the count of three. One, two, three!”
Regina kissed Malcolm’s cheek. “I’m so glad we had this conversation, Mas...lcolm” she said.
“So am I, my dear, so am I.” said Malcolm. “Let’s go down for dinner, Lulu must have finished by now.”
Because Regina was fully awake, there were no more sexual escapades for the rest of the night. Even watching television was unusually quiet, because Malcolm couldn’t point out past conquests. They watched a reality show, thus it was unlikely that there were any past conquests among the contestants for him to point out, but still. Since the relationship “began”, Malcolm had still put Regina under for sex every time they were together, but he had also done regular relationship activities with her while she was awake. This was not something Malcolm had done since before Regina was even born, and it made her giggle to see how awkward he was at it. Even back when Malcolm was young, nearly all of his dates were simply him going through the motions; he invariably had the girl in a trance, out of her clothes and under him by the end of the night, and seldom saw any of them again. By contrast, he wanted to spend as much time with Regina as possible, even when she was out of trance. As much as Malcolm was embarrassed to it, this was the closest thing he’d had to an actual romantic partner in his entire life.
Regina woke up the next morning, after a particularly vivid dream. This one involved her being tit-fucked, something that only Brandon had ever even asked about (and she not only rejected the idea, but would have dumped him then and there if he hadn’t eaten her out that night). The horniness from the dream carried over to right now, and she decided that she had gone too long alone. She put on a bathrobe and went next door to see Malcolm.
While Malcolm had programmed Regina to come in to his room once she woke up, he hadn’t given her any instructions about when to wake up. Thus, he was still asleep when she knocked on his door, which woke him up. “Who is it?” he asked after fully awakening, despite knowing that Lulu was instructed to remain in her own room this morning and if by some miracle, an intruder had gotten inside without being hypnotized and forced to leave, then found their way upstairs, they wouldn’t have bothered to knock.
“It’s me. Regina.” she said nervously. “May I come in?”
“Of course you can.” Regina immediately opened the door. “Good morning.”
“Good morning to you too, Malcolm.” she said. “Can we talk?”
“We already are, but sure.”
“Being with you has been amazing. I didn’t think I’d be able to open myself up again after what happened with Brandon, especially with someone so... different from me.”
“I’ve enjoyed our time together as well.”
“Now, with our relationship about to be made public, it occurs to me that we’ve never had sex. We’ve been together a year! I’m astonished that you’ve never really pressed the issue, especially when you consider...”
“That you are one of the most attractive women in the world?” (This wasn’t an exaggeration, at least according to multiple magazine surveys) “Regina, I know the fact that you work for me makes our relationship... unique. That’s why we’ve kept it quiet. But that fact gives me unfair leverage in the relationship. I already have so much more money than you, you don’t need to feel any more obligation.“
“And I’m grateful for that. But I feel like I’ve waited long enough. And I know you have.” Regina’s tone became sultry as her eyes filled with lust.
“Are you sure?” asked Malcolm, faking apprehension.
“Yes, darling.” said Regina as she undid her robe and let it fall to the floor, revealing a lacy red teddy. It seemed to be straining against her breasts, as if it was too small (which it was-Regina was frequently programmed to purchase clothing half a size too small, so she’d be more inclined to remove it because of its discomfort) “I’m sure.“
Despite having programmed every one of her actions that morning, Malcolm was still surprised. He began to pull off his cashmere pajamas as he said. “Then you’ll get no argument from me.”
Regina leapt onto bed on top of him, helping him out of the pajamas. When they turned to what she was wearing, she said. “Just tear it off me. It never fit right anyway, and you can always buy me a new one.” Malcolm never got the chance to respond, because the moment she was done with that sentence, her mouth was occupying his too much for him to do so...
While they only did the missionary position (along with some rolling over) to three climaxes, it was still a milestone for both of them. It was the first sex Regina had while awake in almost ten years, and it was the first sex Malcolm had with someone not in trance in his whole life (the house slaves notwithstanding, while they weren’t in trance per se, their minds were so molded by him that it wasn’t fair to count them as awake) Regina came harder than she ever had in her life (that she could ) and knew from then on that she would never desire another man. For Malcolm, it was business as usual, since he had fucked Regina countless times starting almost nine years ago, she just couldn’t any of them.
Malcolm almost attempted to give Regina instructions for her awakening (forgetting that she wasn’t in trance this time), but she simply took it as a suggestion to shower, which she did, back in the bathroom of the guest room while he did so in his own.
After breakfast, Malcolm called Marianne and bade her come to the mansion that afternoon. The girl who, eighteen months ago, had to take the bus to Masterstroke, now was leasing a Prius. Marianne Everest had turned out to be the pick of the ad campaign’s “litter”. Her natural talent allowed her to quickly rise to be the second most popular Masterstroke model after Regina, and appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition alongside her in their most recent issue. Marianne had taken to her programming so well that Malcolm didn’t even need to trigger her to get her to come, she felt that indebted to him, and showed no issue with the request. While Regina did some exercises, Malcolm worked up a sweat with Lulu, taking her in both holes and having her suck him off before having her prepare lunch.
Marianne arrived, wearing a coverup that she quickly discarded to reveal a gold bikini. Since Regina wore a red one (Malcolm typically had her wear red sexy things to match her hair) and Lulu wore a green one, Malcolm said they were three bodies that would easily stop traffic!
Marianne countered. “Only Regina stops traffic. Lulu makes you ready to go and I make you ignore all caution!“
Regina actually laughed at that, but Lulu didn’t. Malcolm wasn’t sure if it was the loss of her sense of humor or the fact that since she never left the property, she’d forgotten traffic rules.
Unlike before, Malcolm made sure that Regina wore a swimsuit that fit her properly, so it didn’t break from the effort of reining in her rack. Thus, all three gorgeous women swam around Malcolm’s Olympic-sized pool and none of them had a wardrobe malfunction (I leave it up to you whether that’s a good thing).
Once they were out of the pool, Malcolm decided to make them wet in a different way once they had toweled off. He started with the newest girl. He had ired her bikini-clad body all afternoon and couldn’t wait for her to remove it. “Everest, Ever-Mine,” he said.
Marianne’s eyes slammed shut and her head slumped towards her ample chest. “Ever-Yours, Ever-Obedient.” she said dreamily as a goofy grin began to form.
Regina’s jaw hit the patio, but before she could react or even ask what was going on, Malcolm said “R.A., Relax Absolutely.”
After that, every thought that wasn’t about obeying her Master was gone from her head as if it was never there. Regina’s face took on an even wider grin than Marianne’s and she exclaimed. “Ready to Accommodate!” Lulu, who was effectively in a constant waking trance, didn’t need to be triggered-she was already totally obedient to Malcolm.
Seven minutes later, Malcolm and the three brainwashed babes were in his bedroom. A single word had all of their bikinis on the floor, and Malcolm was naked himself less than a minute later. Malcolm fully intended to have his way with all three of them in turn, but he had already decided on Marianne first, because he’d had her the fewest times of the group (she’d only been in his control for eighteen months, after all). While Regina and Lulu sixty-nined, he took Marianne between her breasts, in her mouth, up the ass, from behind, and the regular way (but not necessarily in that order). Then, he had Marianne switch with Lulu. As the two mesmerized models pleasured each other, he repeated all the acts on Lulu that he had on Marianne. Finally, his soon-to-be-official girlfriend ed him while the beautiful blondes went at each other. He took her in all the ways as well, though he tit-fucked her twice. Despite Marianne having the shortest length of control, she gave the best head of the three (though Malcolm believed that her pillowy lips gave her an edge in that department). Regina had the best tits, and Lulu had the best ass. He then had Lulu go down and clean up from the get-together while he had a three-way with the other two. Finally, they showered all the sweat, cum and chlorine off of themselves. At least Regina did, Malcolm gave Marianne “one for the road” against the shower wall as they washed each other. Marianne and Regina would be programmed to simply outdoor sports and talking, rather than the hot sex session. It didn’t matter what Lulu ed, as she was totally obedient to Malcolm and had no with the outside world.
The next morning, Regina woke to Malcolm standing over her bed, naked. “Sorry, honey. I feel too sore from yesterday. I guess the swimming took more out of me than I thought.”
“That’s too bad.” said Malcolm. “For you, anyway.”
“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO!?” snapped Regina. “Just because we had amazing sex yesterday doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it now!”
“You are technically correct.” responded Malcolm. “However, I am entitled to you. I have been entitled to you for nine years. And I have had your incredible body well over 100 times. Including a few after yesterday morning with Marianne and Lulu. You just don’t them.“
“Stop acting like my opinion doesn’t matter or we’re through!”
“Your opinion doesn’t matter. It never has. Not when I can do this. R.A. Relax Absolutely.“
“Ready to Accommodate!”
Malcolm sighed. “I should have known that one session wouldn’t be enough to make her crave me while awake.”
“My waking self truly is sore, Master. And she thinks you came on too strong. She does want more, just not now.” explained the entranced Regina.
“Thank you for clarifying that, Regina. I know you are ready whenever I am, like right now.“
Regina was already pulling off the bra and panties she had slept in. “Yes I am, Master.” she purred.
After an hour of hot, hard sex (which included Lulu by the end), they had breakfast. Regina was programmed to forget the entire encounter (like she had countless times before). Malcolm got the call from Nat while Regina was doing her workout. Nat returned while Regina was packing (something that wouldn’t take long, since most of her clothes were untouched).
“So how was the family?” asked Malcolm as she got out of the car.
“Like you really care, ‘Master.” she snapped. “It’s hard enough lying to my parents about my entire fucking life. But it’s even worse when I CAN’T EVEN THE LIFE THAT I’M CONCEALING!“
“Sometimes I forget that you don’t share current memories with each other.” said Malcolm. “I apologize. I’ll have a cover story ready for next time.”
“For all I know, there won’t be a next time till NEXT FUCKING YEAR! You basically keep me in a cage while the other two do all the living and...“
“And you wonder why I barely let you out to play. Nat, clock out, Natalie clock in.” The command cut Nat off and she blinked, or rather, Nat closed her eyes and Natalie opened them.
“I wish I could say I enjoyed the break, sir. However, I don’t any of it.” said Natalie.
“It’s time for Regina to go back to her life.” Just then, Regina came out of the mansion.
“This was such a fun weekend. I almost wish it didn’t have to end!” she said.
“I feel the same way.” said Malcolm.
Regina kissed him goodbye for a solid ninety seconds, then said “I’ll see you in the morning, one way or another.” and got in the car.
Malcolm mentally started a timer. Within another year, Regina would be Mrs. Masterson, the first since the death of his mother decades ago. Malcolm intended to gradually have Regina accept more and more of his control, and the fact that he kept hypnotizing her. This would culminate in the wedding, at which point the entranced and normal versions of Regina would be merged together and she would subsequently be his willing slave at all times. When Malcolm returned inside, he immediately entered the soundproof office. If anyone could see him, they’d see a glazed look in his eyes as he dialed a number on his phone. The number had only been called by him once before, and likely never would be again.
