:: Let her hypnotize you. <>"Well," [[you|You]] say. "I guess so." [[She|Emily]] smiles delightedly. "Great! Let's get started." She unclasps the little silver heart necklace you gave her on your one-month "anniversary" and holds it out. "Cheesy, I know, but it really does help some people slip into a trance better. Don't worry about it, though. You don't really swing it back and forth." "Now," she says, getting up. "I want you to sit in this chair and relax." You sit in the chair and relax as much as possible. She holds the little heart in her left hand just above your eyes. "I want you to keep watching the heart and I want you to focus your entire mind on it." You do so, concentrating entirely on the heart. After a while, you think you see her move her fingers toward your eyes and your eyes close automatically. You open them immediately, but Emily has jumped across the room. You wouldn't have believed she could move so fast. <><><><>You have an odd taste in your mouth as well. In fact, you'd swear it was the taste of pussy. <><><><><><><>You have an odd taste in your mouth as well. It tastes like latex. <><><>However, you have a surprisingly peaceful sense of well-being. "Well," Emily says, "how do you feel?" "Really good," you say. "You hypnotized me?" "Yup," she responds. "It's been about an hour. You were an amazingly good subject. I really think this is going to work. So long as they were telling you the truth, I think this is really going to solve your problem. Of course, I'm going to have to come by every day from now on to reinforce it." "Um, okay," you say, still a little dazed. <><>Emily comes over to you and gives you the warmest hug you've ever received from her. "Don't worry, Parker, I honestly believe you're going to come out of this all right." She gives you a kiss and you're surprised to find her lips opening; she's never given you an open mouth kiss before. She breaks it off and says, "It's too bad, but I have to leave. Will you see me to my car?" You agree.<>"Come with me and see me to my car," she says. Before you even realize what you're doing, you've stood up and walked over to her side. "Good boy," she says.<> When you get to the driveway, she says, "All right, now, I'll be back tomorrow about the same time, okay?" You nod. She gives you a hug before driving off<>, whispering in your ear, "You really shouldn't have cheated on me, Parker." You stare at her in astonishment<>. <>When you walk back through the front door, [[Belinda]] is in the foyer. She starts clapping as if giving you an ovation. "What?" you say. "Well," she says. "You must have done a good job on her. I was passing by your door and could hear her all the way out in the hall. Great job, Parker!" She scampers off, leaving you open-mouthed. <>You walk slowly back to your room, thoughtful.<> [[Continue.|Emily Gone]]
