Everyone in it is 18+ and everyone outside should be as well. Lot of plot in this story, but not as much sex.
Spellbinders Saga
By Arthur N. Owen
Volume III: Life and Mind, Chapter 7: Revelations
Steven Wilson had had a very eventful last few days. His niece’s first birthday had arrived (though he sometimes still felt like it had only been a few weeks since she had even been born), and his brother’s in-laws also arrived to celebrate. Said in-laws included the woman he considered his absolute ideal, Victoria “Tori” Stone.
During the birthday party, it was brought up that Joe and Tori had broken up. Steven immediately went to ask her how it happened. “Who initiated it, as if I even needed to ask? A man would have to be a complete idiot to end things with you.” Steven had learned that Tori’s Kryptonite was her ego, and such never failed to butter her up.
Tori smiled at the compliment. “While I’m not going to say that he isn’t a complete idiot, it was indeed me who ended things.“
“He didn’t cheat on you like the others, did he?”
“How did you know about that?”
“Kelly told me.”
Tori gave a shrug. “It’s common knowledge among my family, so I can’t be mad at her for telling you. But to answer your question, no he did not cheat on me. However, what he did do was almost as idiotic.“
“Please, do tell.”
“We were back in Vegas about a month ago. I had accumulated almost a hundred thousand dollars in winnings over three hours of blackjack, when suddenly security dragged me from the table.”
“Security found you out?”
“No. Joe ratted on me to security!” said Tori with barely concealed rage. “Apparently the casino rewards people with credit for outing cheaters, and after he was cleaned out he preferred to screw me over than ask me for a loan. He just hates it when I demonstrate that I’m better than him at something that takes intelligence. Not only did they confiscate my winnings, but I’m banned from that casino, and who knows how many others, for at least a year!“
“Yeah, that sounds pretty stupid. He had to know that your success would benefit him.“
“True, but that’s not even the really stupid part.“
“Then what’s the really stupid part?“
“Because we shared a reservation in the hotel, he got thrown out along with me! We lost the room for the night, and he had to pay to change our airfare. It was a very awkward flight home, considering he got on the plane in Vegas with a girlfriend and disembarked in San Francisco unattached.“
Steven gladly let Tori vent on her ex as long as she wanted to. Not only was he able to demonstrate listening skills and sympathy, but she was practically writing him a guide of what not to do to get on her good side. In any event, he was so enamored with the beautiful blonde that he considered just spending time talking to her a win. At the end, he reiterated how stupid any man would be to drive her away, and she hugged him and kissed his cheek! He didn’t what happened for about fifteen minutes after that, until Peter asked him to play video games.
It had been three days since the party, but the Stones and Smiths were staying in Los Angeles through the week. While Steven had talked the group into letting him them at Disneyland, Kelly had drawn the line for today’s activities. David was back at work, so Steven had decided to meet his parents for lunch. He parted ways with Melissa and John, planning to come back to the office before his father went home, and happened to walk past a comic book store. It was Monday, so the size of the crowd inside was surprising, until he saw the sign in the window. Raven “Hump Day” Ramirez Here Today! David had mentioned that Raven’s film had almost finished production and she was beginning a press tour.
Steven wasn’t as close with Raven as his brother was, but they still knew each other well enough. He endured twenty minutes of standing in line before he reached her. The first thing he said was. “Does your father know you’re here?”
Raven stifled a giggle before answering. “Not specifically. However, I do an appearance at Vortex for every one I do in one of his competitors’ places, and I never charge Papa an appearance fee. I won’t charge you either, I owe your brother too much.“
“Really. For what?” asked Steven.
“Let’s just say he helped match me with my wife.” Raven assumed that Steven had no idea about his brother’s secret, so she left out the last favor he did.
“If I’m being honest, I should have expected that to be your answer. He lives for setting up stable relationships.“
Soon, the owner of the store forced Steven to leave the line, as he had taken up so much of Raven’s time that the line was now winding outside the entrance. Steven ended up spending $20 at the store out of obligation, since he was otherwise costing them money, even if it had been by accident.
David Wilson had ushered his latest clients out of the office, Arlene asked if they needed to schedule a follow-up, but they declined (as everyone else had). The waiting room was now empty but for the two of them. “How long do I have until the next couple comes in?” he asked.
“About seventeen hours.” said Arlene with a slight smirk. “Your next clients cancelled while you were in there, and they would have been the last ones for the day.”
“I really need to update my cancellation policy.” said David. Because of how he typically spent cancellations, he allowed clients to be refunded up to one hour prior to the scheduled time. However, since he became a father and his wife became a de facto stay-at-home mom, he couldn’t let as many cancellations remain open.
“I tried to find a replacement, but no one could make it on such short notice.” explained Arlene. “Especially so late in the day.”
“It’s not your fault, Arlene. These things happen.”
“So can we leave early?”
“If it were Friday, I’d probably say yes. However, today is Monday, and I already let you come in late this morning.”
“But what is there to do for the next hour or so?”
David smirked. “Oh, I’ll think of something. Arlene into me.”
The sexy secretary slumped onto her desk as her eyes shut. “Arlene... over...”
David locked the front door, then came back to the desk. “Open your eyes but remain asleep, Arlene. It’s time for another performance review...”
Steven was back at Wilson and Spaulding roughly an hour after parting company with his parents. The receptionist told him that Melissa had already left, meaning that he had to wait until his father was finished, well over an hour from now. Steven still lived with his parents, as earning his engineering degree prevented him from saving up enough money to move out. Now that he had the degree, he’d estimated that he could move out in another two years, unless he found a tolerable roommate.
As he went towards his father’s office, hoping that he could borrow his computer to kill time, he was stopped by Penelope. “Hi, Steven.”
“Hi, Penelope.” Steven considered Penelope the most attractive of his brother’s (and sister-in-law’s) friends. She only beat Eleanor by the fact that Eleanor was married and had a child, whereas Penelope was single.
“I need a favor.” asked the lovely lawyer.
“What is it?”
“David had me look into something. I finished the work and it’s in this envelope. Please bring it to him.”
While Steven had heard the rumors from his father and godfather that David and Penelope had an affair (though neither believed them), the awkwardness of this favor seemed to be evidence of that fact. However, if Penelope was having an affair with his brother, she would have eagerly delivered whatever was in the envelope herself. The reluctance seemed to imply that the affair (if there was one) was now over. “Is this something related to your job?” he asked.
“Not really. It was a favor for a friend.”
“If it’s your favor, then why don’t you deliver it?“
“Things are... difficult with me and David now. It’s best we avoid each other. Please don’t ask why.” Penelope herself did not consciously know why.
It took another ten minutes, but Penelope managed to convince Steven to act as courier. David had mentioned that Penelope was very persuasive, and Steven no longer doubted the assertion. Of course, Steven had very little willpower when a beautiful woman asked him for a favor, but he wasn’t going to tell her that. He even kept the reasons a secret from John, simply claiming he wanted to go and see his niece tonight. Steven called Eliza “one of the two most beautiful females I know” on multiple occasions (and no member of his family had any doubts to who the other one was).
On the way over, Steven called David’s cell phone and the office number. Both went straight to voicemail. Upon reaching the building, he noticed that David’s car was still in the building lot. However, when Steven reached the office door, it was locked. He tried both numbers again, without success. If anyone else was in Steven’s position, there would be no way of getting inside, but Steven knew the family tradition of where they hid spare keys. They bought special welcome mats with a hidden pocket on the underside. Sure enough, he picked up the mat, flipped it over, and there was the pocket and there was the key.
The waiting room was still lit up, but there was no one around. The office door was closed and locked, but the spare key fit that door as well. Steven opened the door and was so shocked by what he saw, he pulled his head back, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, wiped the glasses off with a tissue from the desk, and put them back on before looking again. The thing he had seen before, his brother fucking his secretary on the couch, was still there. Steven shouted. “AM I INTERRUPTING?”
David was so startled that he knocked Arlene off the couch. Arlene, however, didn’t notice that she had been thrown to the floor, let alone their observer. “Give me five minutes, and then I’ll start explaining.” he said.
“If those five minutes include you putting your pants back on, agreed.” said Steven, leaving the room and closing the door. It was hard to tell which Wilson brother had a redder face in that moment.
Five minutes later, a fully dressed David and Arlene exited the office. David said to Arlene. “Go downstairs and get in your car, then wake up. You will that we went over outstanding bills and expenses for forty-five minutes, then I decided to let you go home early after all, with pay. My brother was never here. Do you understand?”
“Yes... Sir...” droned the spellbound secretary. Arlene left, and Steven picked up his jaw from the floor.
“You really did have an affair with Penelope, didn’t you?” said Steven accusatorily. “But much like this one, you made her forget it happened!“
“Pretty much.” said David with a sigh. “I ended it with Penelope about two years ago, and programmed her to avoid me.”
“THIS is why you were such a great tutor and are such a great marriage counselor. You hypnotize the results you want out of them!“
“More or less.”
“How many women have you fucked and made forget?”
“I’ve lost count, but it’s at least several hundred.”
“SEVERAL HUNDRED?! I’m guessing Kelly is one of them. No woman would tolerate this of her own free will!”
“Actually, she knows everything. You tell her about this one, she’ll only be upset I didn’t ask her to us.”
“NO FUCKING WAY.”
“That Kelly is bisexual, that we have an open relationship or all the women we’ve had on the side?”
“Honestly, all of the above, but B mostly.”
“Yeah, no one ever believes Kelly accepted this of her own free will.”
Steven went over to his brother and extended his hand. “Hi, I’m your brother.”
“What was that for?”
“Well, when you consider you’ve been keeping this massive secret for TEN FUCKING YEARS, I’m not sure I know you anymore.“
“I’m not going to argue that this doesn’t change things between us. At least tell me I locked the door.”
“Yes, you did, but you keep the spare key in the same place Dad does.”
“You know, if you weren’t my brother, I’d have wiped your memory of all this by now.”
“I’m a little surprised you haven’t at least tried to already! I told Dad I was going to your place for dinner. I’d really hate to tell him something was not what he expected...“
“Fine. But Kelly is not going to be as accepting of this as I am.” Ten minutes later, Steven followed David to his car. David ended up leaving the office only a few minutes earlier than he would have if not for the original cancellation. Steven still had the envelope Penelope had given him, but it was the last thing on his mind.
David dialed Kelly (using Bluetooth) as soon as they were on the road. “I’ve got bad news and worse news.”
“Let me decide which is which.” said Kelly.
“I had a cancellation of the last client of the day...”
“...And you did a performance review with Arlene without me!“
“You were with Eliza and your family. What were you going to do, dump her on them?”
“YES! They would have been fine with that!”
Steven interjected. “I apologize for believing Kelly isn’t a part of this of her own free will.”
Kelly shouted. “STEVEN IS IN THE CAR WITH YOU!?”
David said. “That’s part of the worse news. He caught me with Arlene and he’s deduced most of the rest.”
“Mister Prepared left the door unlocked?”
Steven said. “No, he didn’t. Mister Prepared’s brother just correctly guessed where he keeps the spare key.”
“Speaking of guesses, I’m going to guess that he’s coming to dinner so we can discuss what happens next?“
“Yes.” said David and Steven in unison,
“I’ll set another place.” Kelly hung up.
Steven said. “And here I was thinking the wedding brunch where I sat next to Tori for ninety minutes was the most awkward meal of my life.”
David warned. “Don’t bring up Tori. She’s already upset and that will only make it worse.“
Steven was correct that the dinner was indeed awkward. Kelly barely spoke to either of them, and the tension was extremely thick. If it weren’t for Eliza’s adorable presence at the table, there probably would have been an extremely loud argument. While Kelly put Eliza to bed, David told Steven the entire story of his extracurricular activities at college, leaving out all parts involving Malcolm and any specific names. This left a plot hole over how he was able to get Paterno to turn himself in, so David said that the evidence Kelly found was more damning than it really had been.
Steven was grinning from ear to ear and continued to ask questions. “You guys have such hot friends. I know you and Kelly did Penelope, what about Eleanor?”
David answered. “I only got blown by her. By the time Kelly got involved with me, she was involved with James. I never made anyone cheat!“
“The girls at Knockers?”
“Yes, yes and yes.”
“What about Caroline?”
“Yes.”
“Monique?”
“Only once, as part of an orgy with Kelly’s entire sorority.”
“AN ENTIRE SORORITY!”
“Kelly did the Taus more than I did, ask her.“
“What about Raven?”
“Raven’s a lesbian, ?”
“So?”
“So I can’t turn a gay girl straight. Before you ask, Kelly didn’t have her either.”
At that point, Kelly came back downstairs and added. “Because we were too busy setting her up with her now-wife. We watched, though.”
Steven smiled wider. “What are you going to give me to make sure I don’t tell Dad what you’ve been doing all this time?”
Kelly said, threateningly. “The same thing we give everyone else who’s been where you are. Hypnotic amnesia.” David glared at her. “Is what I’d say if you weren’t my brother-in-law.” she quickly finished.
Steven then said. “I was thinking more along the lines of Tori as my girlfriend?”
David said. “Off the table. Kelly and I have a pact not to hypnotize each other’s family without permission. She can’t wipe you, but I won’t enthrall Tori.”
“If you aren’t going to wipe my memory, you have to give me something, or rather, someone in exchange for my silence.” said Steven. Kelly started to look angry.
David said. “Steven, you’re misreading the situation. Your bargaining power is only as great as I allow it to be. Your leverage isn’t that you know our secret. It’s that you’re my brother. And Kelly wanted to wipe you even before you brought up her sister!“
Steven sighed. “What are you offering?”
“You consent to being hypnotized in writing in exchange for the following: One girl, within reason. Under your control for twenty minutes to do anything, including sexual stuff. She forgets everything afterwards. Then I hypnotize and program you so you can never discuss ANY OF this again with anyone except me or Kelly.“
“Define ‘within reason.’”
“She has to be able to get here within a maximum of three days without anyone thinking this is out of the ordinary. That’s how long we can keep you here without anyone being suspicious, though we will have to do some kind of event with Eliza. She can’t be in a committed relationship. You can’t blab about me violating Dad’s Number One Rule if you expect me to help you do it. She can’t be someone I don’t already have control over. I don’t do that sort of thing anymore.“
“Tori wouldn’t violate the first two rules. She’s single, and she’s in town through Saturday.”
Kelly interjected. “She isn’t enthralled and never will be if I have anything to say about it! Doesn’t your ‘Melody’s Law’ apply here?”
Steven countered. “First of all, it’s Melanie’s Law. Second, it only applies to you, as the one David is or was pursuing, and I have honored that. Third, even if there were violations, only David is authorized to exact punishment for them.“
“Sorry, he’s right. You know, Penelope’s pretty much in love with me. You can have her as your girlfriend as long as you don’t mind her calling out my name during sex.” offered David.
“Tempting as that sounds, I really think your lovely, lonely lawyer friend is a bad move.” said Steven. “She’s going to get you in trouble with Dad, and me ending up with her is just going to make things worse.”
“Hard to argue with that one.” said Kelly. “Especially since I’ve been saying she was going to cause a mess for years.”
“I’m sorry, Kelly, but your sister has been my ideal woman since the day I knew she existed.”
“The dinner at Cowcatcher when David proposed?”
“No. Thanksgiving when I saw her image on your Zoom call. And heard about what she did to help her football team...”
“FOR THE LAST TIME NO! LETTING HIM HAVE ANYONE IS BAD ENOUGH, TORI IS A NONSTARTER!” David hadn’t seen Kelly this mad since before the pregnancy, and Steven hadn’t ever seen her this mad.
Steven asked. “Can you get me a celebrity?” At that moment, Eliza started crying. “Let me handle this one.” he said. “I’ll leave you to discuss my offer.”
As soon as Steven was upstairs, Kelly asked. “Does wiping him look any better?”
“I was going to offer giving him Tori, but you get to kill him afterwards. Then nobody wins.” said David.
“I’m just going to assume you are kidding and move on to the issues with getting a celebrity. As you wrote a paper on the subject, you should realize that getting him together with a celebrity would take two weeks of logistics at best. We’ve already established that we can only keep him here for three days, maximum! Worse, we’d need Malcolm’s help!“
David conceded. “Malcolm would, for the first time ever, take your side and say we should have wiped him and been done with it. Thus, he would not help us facilitate.”
“Which leaves only the celebrities that we can directly.”
“Raven’s a lesbian, to say nothing of the fact that she’s a family friend and knows at least part of our secret. Naan Gladi lives too far away and doesn’t know us consciously even if she didn’t. Both of them are in committed relationships, putting them off the table anyway. There is no celebrity that we can get here within three days without scrutiny by either the media or Malcolm.“
Kelly sighed. “Wrong. We both know there’s one who we can get here within the deadline and without anyone asking questions. I’m honestly surprised I’m the one bringing her up.“
“So am I. Every other celebrity in Malcolm’s thrall is still living the life she wants to, more or less. But Regina didn’t choose this.“
“Regina hasn’t chosen anything of consequence in nine years. What’s one more thing?“
“You hate what’s happened to Regina. Why would you exploit that?“
“I hate the idea of pimping out any thrall, even to your brother. He’s a better person than I gave him credit for when we first met, but this is wrong on principle. I hate that the one we pimp out has to be Regina, for reasons that I’ve made obvious for a long time. But the alternatives are something one of us could never live with, which makes this no choice at all.“
A few minutes later, Steven came back downstairs, with a filled diaper held gingerly between his fingers. “Where should I put the HAZMAT?” he asked.
“The garbage can in the back.” said David and Kelly at once, pointing towards the back door. When Steven came back from disposing of the diaper, David said. “We are prepared to offer Regina Abernathy. Do you accept?”
“How do you have Regina Abernathy in your power?” he asked.
“She was my RA sophomore year, before she got famous.”
“I only spent nights in your dorm freshman year. I didn’t even visit the college sophomore year because you had that tutoring thing. I see now why you didn’t want me there...” Steven was looking a bit disoriented, attempting to process this new information on top of all the other things he’d been told that day.
“If you had come to the dorm,” said Kelly. “You would have seen Regina living across the hall from David. She might not have been a model back then, but she was just as hot as she is now.“
David continued. “She got suspicious of what I was really doing to my clients. It was just more convenient to make her not want to ask questions. And then there was the obvious perk, or rather perks.“
Steven was gasping for breath. “You... fucked... a... supermodel... a... hundred... times???”
David said. “She wasn’t a supermodel then, and it was more like forty. Kelly was on hand for most of them.“
“My... brother... fucked... a... supermodel... as... part... of... a... threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...” Steven couldn’t get the rest of the word out before he collapsed, hyperventilating.
“Go get some water!” shouted David.
“Why?” said Kelly. “This could solve our problems.” David shot her an angry look and she said. “Just kidding.” and went to the kitchen.
Steven came to with a cold compress on his forehead and a couch cushion under his head. “Planning on blowing my mind any further today, bro?” he asked sarcastically.
“No, that will do.” said David. “But you never answered the question.”
“If you can deliver what you’re promising, then I agree. I stand by my statement that I would have preferred Tori, though.”
Kelly interjected, with a smirk. “Too bad you can never tell her that, she’d probably take it as a compliment.”
David produced a document. “Now that that is settled, read and sign this. Don’t bother asking a lawyer, since the whole point of this is making sure the lawyer you’d ask doesn’t know!“
“Wait, how long was I out?” asked Steven.
“About ten minutes.” answered Kelly.
“And you got this written up that fast?!“
“No, I had a draft ready to go. I just had to fill in some specifics.”
Kelly snickered. “I wish I could say I was surprised, Mister Prepared, but that just wouldn’t be true.”
Here is the text of the agreement. The parts in italics are those which were recent additions.
I, Steven Wilson hereby give my permission to be hypnotized by David Wilson. In exchange for this consent, I will be granted twenty (30) minutes of hypnotic domination over Regina Abernathy. Immediately after the end of that interval, I will submit to the hypnosis to prevent me from ever speaking about the secrets I have learned with anyone other than David or Kelly Wilson. If I attempt to break this agreement, I understand that I will have my memory wiped.
“Wait a minute.” said Steven. “The number says thirty but the word says twenty!”
“Must have been a typo.” said David. “I wrote up the draft years ago, but I never needed it until now, so I haven’t looked at it in a long time.”
“Ambiguity benefits the person who did not write the contract. That means I get 30 minutes in heaven instead of twenty!“
“SAYS WHO!?” snapped Kelly.
“Says every lawyer in the country, he’s right.” said David.
“Are you really going to go legal on an exercise that is against the law in that many ways?“
“Tell that to the babysitters we keep overpaying!”
Steven smirked. “WHY do you keep overpaying your babysitters?”
Kelly said. “Fine. Thirty minutes it is. But don’t even think about calling her until his mark is made!“
“Never crossed my mind.” said David. “Sign it or I’m pretty sure Kelly will wipe you out of spite.”
“Yeah, I’m starting to get that feeling.” said Steven as he signed his name.
“Okay.” said David. “I told you to leave a toothbrush and a change of clothes here, and you did. It’s in the guest room closet. I’m going to go set up your ‘date’.” and he left his brother and his wife alone.
Kelly’s eyes narrowed. “I may trust you with my daughter, but this is a much bigger deal. I see that you can’t keep your mouth shut, I will wipe you, no matter what David says. He may be more skilled than I am, but trust me, I can hold my own. Capiche?“
“Yes, ma’am.” said Steven.
David came back. “Regina will be here the day after tomorrow. Now we just need an event to take Eliza to that Kelly’s family can’t attend, so we can justify you staying here until then.“
“How about the zoo?” suggested Steven. “I know you already went to the much better one in San Diego, so I think your family would decline.”
“Hard to argue with that one.” said Kelly. “They said they wanted to do something separate from Eliza and me anyway.”
They went to the zoo the next day and had a good time, with Steven buying Eliza a stuffed elephant. The following morning, Steven was constantly asking for clarification on who David had and hadn’t slept with.
“The girls at Knockers?”
“Yes, yes and yes.”
“There must be more there.”
“Probably, but we’ll never know.”
“Your smoking hot neighbors?”
“Kelly, yes, me, no.”
“Any other celebrities besides Red Hot?”
Kelly interrupted. “You’ve had your twenty questions, and then some. Stop indulging him, David!”
David said. “You told your sister, and she wasn’t even blackmailing you.“
“Only the stuff about me and you. As of now, Steven knows ten times what Tori does!”
“This is kind of cathartic. I hate that I’ve kept this a secret from the family for so long.”
Steven said. “You had your VERY obvious reasons, bro. I get it.”
Kelly looked at David’s phone, which he had left on the table. “Now you get upstairs into the guest bedroom. Regina will be here in fifteen minutes, and you need to be ready to receive her.”
“Why do I have to be upstairs?”
“Regina is coming here under the pretense of meeting Eliza. She’s never met you, so under no circumstances is she to be aware you are even here when she is not in a trance, so David has to prep her before she gets into bed with you. Furthermore, any interaction you have with her counts towards your thirty minutes, so...“
“Got it. Anything else I need to know? This is probably your last chance to clarify.”
David said. “He’s not wrong. Steven, Regina’s trance state may come off as... different from what you would expect. Kelly and I will not answer any further questions about what we have done with or to Regina, now or later. You can ask her, but that counts towards your time limit with her. After the time limit is up, she will leave the room and clean herself up before we alter her memories and send her on her way. You are not to leave this room until Kelly or me comes to tell you she is gone. You will immediately proceed into the office in order to be hypnotized to make sure your lips are sealed.“
“So many clarifications. You’d think she was a prostitute.”
Kelly interjected, “For all intents and purposes, today she is, in case you hadn’t realized it.“
“It seems like you’ve been realizing it a lot, oh sister-in-law of mine. I didn’t think you two still felt guilt about this.“
“END OF DISCUSSION!” Kelly snapped. “Now get upstairs before I decide to wipe you and call this off!”
Steven bolted to the stairs. David brought Eliza out of the living room. “Are we bad parents for just hoping she won’t any of this instead of keeping it away from her?” he asked.
“You tell me, the human mind is your department!” said Kelly.
Soon, Regina arrived. As with everyone else who met little Eliza, she immediately gushed over the adorable baby girl. “SHE’S SO CUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!! Is she a year old, now?”
“Last week, yes.” said David.
“Should I feel neglected that it took you so long to have us meet?” David and Kelly sometimes forgot that Regina was programmed to believe they were her friends (even though that was the pretense for her even being here), and thus her annoyance at their ignoring of that “friendship” was a bit of a running gag.
As had frequently been the case the last few times this had been brought up, Kelly said. “You’re so busy, and the spotlight follows you. We like our privacy.” She then said. “Now, it’s time for you to meet another member of our family.“
“Who?” asked Regina.
David said, with a slight smirk. “There’s no point in telling you, since you won’t it happening. R.A., Relax Absolutely.”
“Ready to Accommodate!”
“Regina, I have a task for you. Will you do it?”
“Of course, Master. Nothing gives me more pleasure than obeying your orders.”
“Good girl. You will go upstairs and meet Steven. He will be your master for thirty minutes from the point I tell you. You will do anything he says during that time, so long as it does not conflict with existing commands. After the thirty minutes is up, you will leave the room he is in and be unable to perceive him any longer until I say otherwise, then await further instructions. Understand?”
“Yes, Master!”
Meanwhile Kelly texted Steven. “She’s here. Get naked and get ready. FYI, we won’t stop the clock if you faint.”
David said. “Follow me upstairs. Take off your clothes when you get to the top of the stairs.”
“Yes, Master!” Regina stripped off her clothing, revealing her still-incredible body. She had kept it in perfect shape (though whether that was Malcolm’s decision or her own could not be determined), and her most noteworthy feature, her breasts, showed no hint of sag.
“You will take on a sultry tone in Steven’s presence, understand?”
“Yes, Master!” They went to the guest bedroom. David opened the door, with Steven on the other side.
Steven’s jaw hit the floor at the sexy sight before him. Even having seen the evidence of what his brother was capable of, even having seen Regina Abernathy’s scantily clad image countless times, the spellbound supermodel, here, now, and completely naked shocked him speechless. Yet David was as nonchalant as if this had happened a thousand times before, (and it probably had, now that Steven thought about it). David broke the silence. “Regina, this is Steven.“
“Hi, Steven.” she said in a very sultry voice.”
David said. “Go inside. The timer starts as soon as this door closes.”
The shutting of the door brought Steven back to his senses, though he still decided to pinch himself. Then again, if this were a dream, it was more likely that it would be Tori Stone in a cheerleading uniform than Regina Abernathy in her birthday suit. He looked down at his own naked body and saw how hard his dick had gotten. “Get on the bed so I can fuck you, please?“
Regina responded. “Of course, Master.”
Steven, who came into the room a virgin, was completely out of his depth. He came prematurely just by touching her tits, so he had the redhead suck him back to hardness (which she had to do twice-he came too soon the first time so she started over). Then he managed to get on her, and his instincts took over, He made out with her for a few seconds, but most of his attention remained on her tits. He pinched, rubbed, licked and suckled them even after he came inside her. He didn’t even want her to flip over, he was enjoying them that much. However, he did fuck them twice, as they were too incredible not to. As David had advised, he did not ask her any questions aside from how much time he had left (which she could keep track of internally). Regina orgasmed in time with each of his, which totaled nine. At one minute to go, he simply lay down on top of her tits and used them as a pillow until time expired and she threw him off. She then went out into the hall, where David was waiting for her.
“Do I need to wake you up so you can shower, because I really can’t think of a reason for you to shower that won’t make your waking self ask more questions.” asked David.
“Not anymore, Secondary Master.” she answered. “Primary Master has given me considerably more functionality in the wonderful relaxed state, But Primary Master told me not to operate any heavy machinery in the wonderful relaxed state.”
“That was good advice. Now go shower, dress, and come downstairs.”
A few minutes later, David and Kelly were waiting for Regina. Kelly joked. “Having a virgin is probably a new experience for her. Of course, since it’s been like a decade since she’s had any penis that isn’t yours or ‘Primary Master’s’, it’s almost a new experience for her anyway.“
Regina, hearing a prompt, responded “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.”
David, intrigued, asked. “Why did Primary Master change that truth?”
Regina’s response was. “Primary Master has been my secret boyfriend for most of the last year. I never told you because you did not ask. We had intercourse outside of the wonderful relaxed state for the first time two weeks ago. We plan on making it public and official at his birthday party in a week and a half.”
Kelly was shocked speechless, so David quickly gave her final instructions. “Regina, upon awakening, you will believe that you played with Eliza and asked about her for the last 45 minutes. You will not Steven being here, and will not recognize him should you ever see him again while awake. What happens when you wake up?
“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.”
“At least that one is never going to get changed.” said David. “Count to three in your head and awaken.“
Regina blinked and said. “Your daughter is the cutest little baby I’ve seen in I can’t even how long! Probably because my sister is still single and most of my coworkers are either too young to have one or too old to still have one.” She then kissed Eliza on the cheek. “Now she’s the envy of every man in the USA!” She then left.
David asked. “Regina is in a relationship now. Does that mean we forced her to cheat? Because the idea of pimping her out was bad enough.”
Kelly, who had hadn’t spoken since hearing Regina’s status change, said. “We’re innocent of that, big boy. She was told to keep the relationship secret, and didn’t tell us even after we gave her orders, so we have plausible deniability. More importantly, it’s with Malcolm, so we both know that it’s a relationship in name only because she has no choice in the matter!” Kelly then put the baby in her playpen. “On to more important matters, such as the fact that Malcolm is going to turn Regina into his brainwashed trophy wife!“
“Maybe not right away, but yes, that would be the end goal.” said David. “I think he’s adopted my Chrysalis loophole strategy of enthralling the girl before she’s a celebrity
“And just like when she started modeling, you’re acting like it isn’t a big deal... BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS!!!”
David looked at the floor. “Fine. I have been keeping some things about Regina from you because I knew they’d make you upset if you found out.”
“THAT SHIP HAS SAILED, BIG BOY!” Kelly roared. “TELL ME EVERYTHING, NOW!”
On the night of the end of the semester, after Malcolm approved of us, I spoke to Regina while you were in the shower. She told me that Malcolm had programmed her to bring her family to him so he could hypnotize them.”
“Which meant they’d never speak out against her sudden career change, or the fact that she’s about to start dating a man old enough to be her father! Now there’s nothing stopping him!”
“I never told you because you’d just get infuriated over something that neither of us had any way of preventing!”
“No, you could have prevented it. You just didn’t want to.”
“Kelly, keeping Regina from Malcolm would have meant us taking her into hiding and being on the run from a man with unlimited resources for the rest of our lives. And now that she’s a public figure and we have a child, it would be even more difficult.“
“I still had a right to know!”
“NOT ACCORDING TO MALCOLM!”
“I didn’t marry Malcolm, I married you. And you just let him keep taking more control of her. Did you even try to intervene?“
“Yes. About a month before the wedding. Malcolm was planning on giving me a boon as a wedding gift. Any girl he had enthralled, would be mine and mine alone.”
“And you were going to leverage that to free Regina.”
“Yes, I was. But after the incident at your bachelorette party, things changed.”
“What happened?”
“Malcolm called me the next morning. Furious. I hadn’t heard him this mad since Regina fought Brandon. He said you almost got the spa shut down and he was revoking your special privileges. He was going to break you unless...”
“Unless you used the boon on me instead of Regina. He must have figured out that was what you intended to do, and simply used the party to force your hand.”
“You are probably right, but it doesn’t matter. As I’ve said many times, you have no leverage against an unethical hypnotist but what he allows you. I made him promise not to tell you that any issues even occurred, and I guess he wanted to make amends so he gave us such an extensive gift later on.”
“But why did you keep this from me?”
“Because I knew you’d offer yourself in exchange, and even if I thought he’d accept that, which I didn’t, I couldn’t bear to lose you like that.”
“I’m starting to wonder if he let you keep me so I’d be leverage against you!”
“I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Suddenly, David got a text message from Steven. “Is she gone yet? She left my room over half an hour ago, how long does it take to clean up her memory and send her on her way?”
“Aw crap, I forgot he’s waiting for his hypnosis!” said David. He went upstairs while Kelly picked up Eliza.
As Steven followed David into the office, he said. “I have no basis of comparison, but that was a bit of a letdown.”
“You signed the paper, no backsies! I didn’t guarantee you’d enjoy it, only that it would happen!” snapped David.
“I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it, only that I expected to enjoy it more. Even ing for the fact that she wasn’t my first choice, it just felt... anticlimactic. She just did what I wanted. It’s like she was a living sex toy.“
“I’ve had that feeling about her too. They were now in the office. Steven sat down in front of the desk, David behind it after he locked the door and put on his polarized sunglasses.
“Could you have done this at work?”
“Actually, yes. The device I’m about to use is built into that desk as well.” David pressed the button, and an LED light display popped up from the front of the desk. Steven’s eyes were drawn to it as he listened to his brother’s voice. A voice he knew he could trust...
Five minutes later, Steven was slumped in the chair, in a trance. David said. “You will no longer be able to discuss anything about my and Kelly’s hypnosis-based secrets with anyone except me or Kelly. If you try, you will be unable to say anything, instead you will have a coughing fit. You will return to a trance if you hear me, and only me, say ‘Steve start to stop’, which you will respond to with ‘No Go’. Understand?”
“Yesssssssssssssssssssss... Broooooooooooooooooo...” Steven muttered.
“Wake up on the count of three, ing everything. One, two, three!” After Steven woke up, he asked. “How did it feel?”
“Pretty good, like I had a good night’s sleep in fifteen minutes! Can you drive me back to Mom and Dad’s?”
“Yes, but don’t you want to say goodbye to your niece? Also, you’re paying for gas. I had to postpone five clients because of you. That’s a lot of money out of my pocket!”
“I promise to babysit the next time you need one, no questions asked.”
“It will be the next five times for the equivalent of just one session!“
One hour later, David was pulling up to his parent’s house. Steven handed him the envelope he had forgotten about until he was getting in the car. “What’s this?”
“The reason I was at your office two days ago. God, has it only been two days? So much has happened!“
“It’s been pretty eventful, I’ll give you that. But what’s in the envelope?”
“You’ll have to ask Penelope, she gave it to me.” Steven had left the car before David could ask further questions, so he decided to just open it with Kelly when he got home.
“So this envelope is the reason why Steven knows our secret, and we know Regina’s?” asked Kelly.
“I guess you can say that.” answered David. “But I wonder what this was all about.”
“Well, there’s only one way to find out.” said Kelly. David tore the envelope open. Inside were a series of photographs, dated over sixty years ago. There were three prominent individuals in the photographs.
“That’s Knees Wilson.” said David. “I’ve seen enough old family photos. Dad tried to burn plenty of them, but enough survived.”
“Could this be about one of his bastard children?” asked Kelly. “I know your dad said he thought that none of them were still alive, other than Jacob obviously.”
“Yes, but Dad never knew the true extent of his father’s infidelities. He only really looked into the ones from LA County.” Then David saw something that made his mouth go dry. One of the other people in the photographs had a pocket watch. A pocket watch he had seen many times. One that had a big prominent “M”.
