It was the music that finally made Tom and Keira open their eyes. Looping, upbeat jazzy tunes filled their ears overlaid with a chorus of cycling bells and buzzers that exploded in a kaleidoscope of sound before gradually slowing and then bursting forth again. Tom furrowed his brow sleepily while Keira blinked and glanced around.

It sounded just like a casino.

That’s right! They were in Vegas. They had always wanted to go to Vegas together, and now here they were waking up from a short nap in the hotel lobby, slumped together on one of the couches. Tom breathed in, trying to shake out the cobwebs from his mind. The lobby wasn’t much to look at. It almost looked more like someone’s overdone living room than a legitimate hotel lobby.

But then he remembered that he and Keira were traveling on a budget and they couldn’t be too picky about the details. Actually, the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was no reason to think about the minor details at all.

“Oh my god, honey!” Keira swooned, pushing herself up straight on the couch. “We’re in Vegas! This is so exciting!” She threw her arms around Tom, hugging him tight.

“It’s about time, isn’t it?” Tom said, squeezing her back. “Here’s hoping that we get lucky tonight!” He gave her a quick spank on her ass before she giggled and softly slapped his face.

“Whaddya wanna do?” he asked her. “Go eat? See a show? Hit the casino?”

The music and clamor of electric bells swelled around them. Keira smiled with a manic glint in her eye.

“The casino. Let’s do the casino!”

The couple got off the couch and walked down the narrow hallway of their ‘hotel’. They naturally followed the music drifting from the end of the corridor and coming up a flight of stairs. They weren’t sure what kind of hotel would put their casino in the basement, but they supposed there was always something new in Vegas.

They descended the stairway and found themselves in a lavish casino game room filled with flashing lights and the sound of slot machines rolling over again and again. They never asked themselves where the lights and sounds were coming from or why the casino seemed to be virtually empty. Their minds simply filled in the missing pieces for them as they sauntered around, amazed by the rows of slot machines that all seemed to glow and flash at them with dazzling spirals, filling them with a giddy anticipation. They glanced around, wondering where to start.

“Well, fancy meeting you two here!”

The couple turned to see a dapper, clean-cut man in a pin-striped suit smiling at them. Tom stared, trying to remember where he had seen this person before.

“Hey, I remember you!” Tom said, snapping his fingers. “You were that hypnotist we saw on stage last night!”

“Oh, yeah!” Keira said, her face lighting up. “We volunteered for your stage show! It was amazing! I never seen anything like it!”

“I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself, a lovely couple like you,” Raul said with a knowing smirk. “If you don’t mind my asking, what was your favorite part?”

“Oh, for me, it was definitely the part with the candle,” said Keira.

“Oh yeah!” Tom agreed. “That was incredible. I never felt so relaxed in my life. And it’s like I have absolutely no memory of anything that happened after that! Did you remember anything, babe?”

“No! It’s so wild!” Keira gushed.

“Yes, I get that a lot,” Raul said modestly. “So, what are you two looking to game on today? Craps? Roulette?”

Keira shrugged innocently as Tom glanced around the casino.

“Actually, we were just trying to figure that out. Sometimes I think Keira and I are even less decisive when we work together,” he said as Keira shot him a sassy look.

“I have a suggestion,” said Raul, holding up his hand, tracing small circles in the air with his fingers.

“Why don’t you come see the Wheel of Fortune,” he said waving his fingers around in front of Tom and Kiera’s face. “It’s a very fun game…you want to have fun… thinking about the Wheel of Fortune… you think it’s a great idea to play the Wheel of Fortune… right….now!”

SNAP!

Tom and Keira blinked, waking up from their momentary stupor, a new thought suddenly driving their actions.

“Let’s play Wheel of Fortune!” Keira squawked like a trained bird.

“Yeah! That’s a great idea!” Tom agreed. “We’re here to have fun, after all.”

“Excellent!” Raul said, steering them by the shoulders. “This way!”

He led them to a small corner of the casino where a cheap plastic table was set up in front of a giant wheel rimmed with short metal spokes and a rubber stopper. The excited young couple marveled at the huge wheel, partly because of the giant red and white spiral painted on its face and partly because of the stunning blonde showgirl wearing an outfit that might as well have been a bathing suit.

Tom strained his memory. He knew someone like that, didn’t he? But the more he thought about it, the farther the memory slipped down into his subconscious. He looked at Keira, who was also watching the smiling woman. She blinked and shook her head clear, taking the seat Raul offered her.

“Hello there, cuties!” The lady bubbled. “Ready to win big? Just give the wheel a spin and see what lady luck has in store for!”

Keira tilted in head. “Uhmm…do we know you?”

“Of course you do!” Raul said, leaning forward, twirling his silver lighter through his fingers. Keira and Tom couldn’t help but follow the flashing box of silver as they listened to Raul’s velvety voice. “This is my assistant, Didi! You remember her from the show last night. She’s my lovely assistant who’s so easy to look at, isn’t she?”

Didi smiled and waved her hand bashfully, her ample breasts smooshing together under her arms. “Oh, silly! Who wouldn’t want to look at me?”

Tom nodded, his attention torn between Raul’s lighter and Didi’s rack. He remembered now. Didi was Raul’s assistant. He remembered seeing her drop for him again and again, succumbing to his suggestions to sing like an opera singer or cluck like a chicken. He also thought he remembered his lips wrapping around Didi’s nipple, but surely that was just a horny fantasy.

“But I think you young love birds want to do more than just watch!” Didi continued. "You came to play! So, ante up!”

Tom’s hand reached down to his pocket, wondering if he was supposed to have chips. “uhm…what’s the ante?” he asked.

“Ah, yes,” Raul said, still twiddling his lighter through his fingers. “This isn’t a traditional casino, you see. We don’t bet with chips or money, per se. Rather, you bet with your personal effects. Maybe you’d like to wager your phone against a tropical vacation, or your wallet for a chance to dine on gourmet sushi served on my lovely assistant’s naked body.”

Didi giggled and bounced playfully on her heels.

“It may seem surprising,” Raul said, holding his lighter closer to both Tom and Keira’s faces. “But the more you think about it, the more you’ll realize this is a very normal thing for casinos to do. You can trust us when we say you have nothing to worry about. You know you can trust us. And you know there’s nothing strange or weird about gambling with your phone or driver’s license. That’s just how a casino works…”

Tom felt his head nodding along with Raul’s voice Yes. All of that made sense. He knew he couldn’t argue with Raul’s airtight logic. After all, he trusted the smooth-talking hypnotist and his stunning assistant.

“Good,” Raul said, grinning as both Tom and Keira nodded blankly to his every word. “Then let’s ante up, maybe something small to begin with, perhaps, say…a shirt?”

Keira and Tom looked at each other.

“Both of our shirts?” asked Keira.

“Sure! No reason to be modest! And you want to win big, don’t you?”

Tom shrugged and unbuttoned his shirt, thinking nothing of it as he pushed it across the table. Keira hesitated.

“Umm…I may not be wearing a bra…” she said, blushing.

“That’s not a problem!” Raul said, sneaking around her, his silver lighter catching her attention. “This is an adult casino. There’s no problem with nudity here. In fact, you like being exposed, don’t you?”

“I…I do?” Keira asked, her eyes fixed on the shiny lighter.

“Of course! You find it so liberating to be exposed. And Tom doesn’t mind, do you Tom?”

Tom blinked, just catching up with the conversation.

“Uh, no! No, I don’t mind…”

Keira nodded, her mouth opened slightly as she peeled off her shirt, her perky nipples hardening in the chilly air. She put her shirt on top of Tom’s as Didi took them out of sight.

“Alllll right!” Didi chimed. “Time to give the wheel a spin. Go right ahead, sir!” she said inviting Tom to pull down on the spokes. He got up and gave the wheel a good, hard spin.

“Round and round and round she goooeeesss!!” Didi crooned. “Watch closely as the luck starts to flow!”

Tom stared at the spinning wheel and felt his mind start to free fall. Keira’s mouth fell open as she gazed vacantly at the spinning spiral twisting around and around in front of her, the monotonous clicking of the stopper filling the air. Didi beamed at them, dancing to her own music as the wheel gradually got slower and slower and slower…

Finally, the wheel clacked to a stop, the rubber pointer landing on the edge of the wheel that had the word “kissing booth” on it.

“We have a WINNER!” Didi squealed throwing her arms in the air, flashing the sides of her pale body at the starstruck players.

“We won?” Keira’s eyebrows rose up in surprise.

“What did we win?” asked Tom.

“You both win a special kiss! Lucky you!”

Before either Tom or Keira could question it, Raul gently touched their shoulders. Tom felt his hand like a weight pinning his mind in place as his words slipped into his ear.

“Kisses make you feel happy…so very happy and blank when the pretty woman kisses you…”

Raul took his hand away. Tom tried to remember what he was just thinking about.

“You first handsome!” Didi said as she leaned forward, her cleavage nearly spilling onto the table as she planted a soft warm kiss on his cheek.

A bolt of energy shot through him and suddenly, all Tom could do was smile. It was like a ghostly hand had wound its way up his spine and pulled the corners of his lips up into a happy, eager grin. Didi turned towards Keira as she sat dumbfounded by the display.

“Pucker up, sweetcakes.” Didi kissed the top of Keira’s forehead. The woman felt her eyes droop closed for a minute and then opened wide and bright as her mouth curled into a giant smile.

“How do you feel, friends?” Raul asked them.

“Great!” Keira said, beaming.

“Yeah! This is awesome!” agreed Tom. “Let’s play again!”

Didi cheered and clapped her hands. “Yaay! Okay then, ante up!”

“Let’s up the stakes a little,” Raul suggested, as he toyed with his silver lighter. “Maybe you could wager something a bit more consequential, like your house keys..."

The idea floated through the two lovers’ heads, but they hardly paid attention to it. They were both too distracted by Raul’s fancy fingers playing tricks with his lighter.

“This is a fair casino. You know your belongings are safe with us. And if you lose them, that’s just the rules. You’ll just need to let them go…ready to give it all away…”

Rual snapped his lighter back in his palm and looked at the other two as they blinked and rubbed their eyes, still smiling from ear to ear.

“So, your keys?” Raul asked.

“Oh, yeah!” Tom reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring of keys he always kept on him. Keira reached into her pants and found her spare set of keys, placing them next to Tom’s with a blissful grin. Didi looked at her with twinkling eyes.

“Why don’t you give the wheel a spin this time, pretty thing?”

Keira giggled and reached out to give the wheel a strong spin, the rubber stopper clacking against the tiny spokes.

“Round and round and rooouunnnddd she goes!’ Didi sang as the spiral jumped to life, sucking Tom and Keira’s brains right out of their heads.

“Round and round and round and round…

Falling deeper and deeper down…

Your minds getting so fuzzy, heavy, and slow…

Round and round and round she goes…”

Didi’s voice sang as the spiral, got slower and slower, the rubber stopper taking longer and longer to get to the next spoke…

The wheel stopped. Somebody said the word SLEEP in Tom’s ear and his eyes slammed shut. He felt Keira’s body slump next to him. The two sank into a restful slumber, not bothering to worry about the jingling keys as Didi slid them off then table and into a metal lock box.

Time lost meaning and then a deep, soothing voice was telling them to wake up in 1…2…3!

Tom blinked his eyes, realizing he was still in the casino playing Wheel of Fortune with the busty assistant.

“Your spin, big guy!” Didi said leaning forward, her cleavage only inches from his eyes. “What are you betting? You should bet big in case you roll double stars!”

“Oh, yes! That’s the jackpot!” Raul said from behind them. “You could win something unforgettable, but you’d have to ante up a good sum.”

“Yeah, you’d have to ante to get a good cum!” said Didi.

“Didi! That’s not what I said!”

“Sorry, boss!” Didi said, tilting her head vapidly.

“You came to play,” Raul continued, leaning in from behind the two players, his voice rasping in their ears. “Go big or go home, isn’t that what they say? You’re feeling ready to make that big bet, feeling so lucky and confident. So how about betting your phones?”

Tom blinked. That didn’t sound right. Casinos didn’t make you bet with phones…right?

He felt Raul’s hand on his shoulder, and he was suddenly completely at ease.

“Yes, you want to put your phones on the table. Entrust them to the hands of my lovely assistant. Just think about all those wonderful prizes you’ll win when you hit the jackpot… you want the hit jackpot, don’t you?”

Images flooded Tom’s mind, visions of gold coins showering over them, Keira and him counting stacks of dollar bills, Didi sprawled out in a tiny bikini on the hood of a brand new Ferrari. He wanted to hit the jackpot so bad.

Tom’s hand fished out his phone from his pocket. Keira tossed hers on the table, her minds wrapped in Raul’s coaxing voice.

“Okay! Here we go!” Didi cheered as she stashed their phones in her metal lockbox and looked at Tom. “Give the wheel a spin, sexy!”

Tom reached out and yanked the side of the wheel. The spiral burst into motion. He tried to focus on the double-starred jackpot slot as it dragged his eyes around…and around…

“…around…and around…and around… feeling yourselves getting heavier and heavier… minds slowing down with each turn of the spiral…getting slower…slower…”

The wheel finally stopped, but the arrow wasn’t on the double stars. Instead, the arrow pointed to a larger slot with a single word printed on it. Tom and Keira leaned forward, trying to make out the word.

SLEEP.

The letters glared back at them as they let their heads tumble onto their chests. The world faded into a comforting black void as more words sifted in and out of their minds.

Tom floated along like a cork until Raul’s deep voice led him back.

“And 3…2…1… waking up again! Refreshed and enjoying yourselves.”

Tom picked up his head, looking over to Keira. His girlfriend smiled drowsily at him, throwing him a sleepy kiss. Tom tried to think through the thick brain fog.

Were they winning?

Oh, well. What was the difference? They were enjoying themselves.

“Ready to go again, cuties?” Didi said, swaying her shoulders. The couple just stared and nodded their heads mutely, their minds too tenderized to speak.

“YAAY!” Didi clapped her hands as she bounced on her heels. “Time to ante up! Go big and maybe you’ll win the jackpot!”

“Yes, you’re bound to win the jackpot sooner or later,” Raul said from behind them.

“You know you’re due for a big, hot jackpot any time now!” Didi assured them. “And all you need to put down to win is…hmmmm… your wallets.”

Keira blinked two times slower than normal, scrunching her face in confusion.

“Our..w-wallets?”

“Yes! You’re in a casino, after all!” Raul said, his hand rubbing up and down Keira’s back. “You want to win big, so you have to bet big. Your wallets, credit cards, drivers’ licenses… you want to hand it all over…”

“Hand over your ID’s…” Didi cooed, her body swaying back and forth like a snake. “You know it will be worth it… you can trussst us…”

“Trusting you’re going to win big… trusting us to take care of your things…” Raul chanted.

“You’re just here for a good time…” Didi said, her breasts swinging from one side to the next, her eyes trained on Tom as he followed her cleavage with his head. “So easy to give us what we want… give us what we want… so you can win the jackpot…so ready…to go all in…”

The words battered into Tom’s dazzled mind as he lost himself in Didi’s jumbling tits. He pulled out his wallet, hardly considering the consequences.   

“All in…” he mumbled as he dropped his wallet onto Didi’s tray.

On his side, Keira pulled out the thin card holder she used to organize her bank cards and money.

“All in…” she parroted.

Didi grabbed their effects, making a show of how heavy Tom’s wallet was and fanning herself with the couple’s credit cards. As the two watched her, Raul snuck around to the back of the wheel, sliding a weight into the back rim.

“Ready to score the jackpot?” asked Didi. “Keira, dear? It’s your spin.”

“O-okayyy…” Keira slurred, her body swaying drunkenly. She leaned forward and pulled on the heavy wheel.

The spiral spun like a dervish, its motion somehow more compelling than before. Raul was back, standing between the two gamblers speaking quickly and softly as his fingers traced light, teasing spirals over the backs of their shoulders.

“getting so excited… waiting for the jackpot… wanting to score the jackpot… needing to score the jackpot… getting closer… even closer… closer to the jackpot…”

Tom felt a wave of energy surge inside him, light and flighty, like his body was filled with a flock of birds ready to spring out. He followed the spiral around and around, his gaze drawing deeper and deeper into its center as the stopper clicked down slower and slower.

“Almost there… almost there…” Didi murmured, watching the wheel. The pair of bright, glittering stars inched closer and closer to the arrow, until with a final clack, the wheel came to a stop, the arrow barely pointing to the two golden stars.

DING DING DING DING DING!!

“DOUBLE STARS!” Didi exclaimed. “WINNERS!!”

With a theatric flare, she yanked her flimsy top down and allowed her round, creamy breasts to burst free, their nipples hidden behind two glittering star pasties. She lifted her arms over her head and shook her chest wildly. The spinning wheel flashed with neon lights and the clanging bell kept ringing out louder and louder.

DING DING DING DING!!

“Winner! Winner! Double Stars for the winners!”

Tom gasped at the marvelous sight of Didi’s pastie-covered breasts, his heart soaring with excitement, his hips bucking and spasming in elation. Besides him, Keira shouted with joy, clapping her hands and bouncing up and down in her chair. The more Didi shook her tits, the more and more Keira and Tom were overcome with excitement. Didi’s tits swung up and down, back and forth, the two gold stars flashing in the couple’s eyes.

Tom couldn’t believe it! They had won! They had won!

What exactly did they win, again?

Raul was saying something from behind them, his confident hands drawing light, fast circles over their backs. He was mumbling something about feeling higher and higher, closer and closer, better and better, but it was hard to hear him over the ringing bell.

It was hard to pay attention when Didi kept shimmying her boobs.

Suddenly, Raul grabbed Tom and Keira’s hands in each of his and gave them a firm, sustained squeeze. Tom felt something topple over inside of him as a rush of intense pleasure flood his body.

“Now! Hitting the jackpot! Orgasm! You’re orgasming so hard right now. Hitting the jackpot. A strong orgasm rocking your body. So good to hit the jackpot! So good!”

Tom’s core collapsed inward as the strong blast of sexual pleasure gripped him. He wasn’t even sure if he was fully hard, he didn’t care! The pleasure surged in his body, drowning his mind with delightful tingles. It was one of the best orgasms in his life.

On the other side of Raul, Keira gasped and squirmed as her other hand flew to her crotch, just holding her pussy in sympathy as she danced in pleasure. The harder Raul squeezed, the higher and higher the pleasure grew for the couple, suspended in an unending explosion of ecstasy.

“And sleep.”

Raul dropped their hands and snapped his fingers in front of their eyes. Every ounce of pleasure immediately changed to heavy sacks of sleep, and they tumbled down into oblivion, an echo of their orgasms still ringing through their minds.

Raul quickly made sure they were both stable, slumped over in their chairs and recovering peacefully from all the excitement. Once he was sure they were securely balanced he rose to his feet and clicked off the electronic buzzer and lights for his homemade Wheel of Hypnotic Fortune. He remembered first trying it out on Diane so many years ago, when she was going through an abduction and brainwashing phase of her kink and had begged him to tie her up to a chair in front of the endlessly spinning spiral.

The thought suddenly reminded Raul of his wife. He turned and sighed with exasperation to see Diane mindlessly bobbling her boobs, watching them with an airheaded grin.

“Double stars. Double Stars. Double Stars…” she kept repeating softly to herself, her shiny gold star pasties reflecting in his eyes.

“Okay Diane, er, Didi! That’s enough. I…,” Raul trailed off. Diane (Didi) turned to him, an inquisitive tilt to her empty head.

“Yeah, Boss? Did Didi do a good job?”

Raul shook his head. Did he really almost command his wife to cover up and stop being such a bimbo? He held his head in his hand.

How utterly careless of him.

“You did wonderful Didi!” Raul said, holding her by the shoulders. “Do you have the…winnings?”

Didi held up the closed safe box with Tom and Keira’s keys, phones, and wallets. “Everything they got is right here. What should I do with it, Boss?”

Before Raul answered, he held up his hand, smiling as Didi’s eyes crossed and went fuzzy, her attention rivetted to his swaying fingers.

“You’re going to make a deposit in the treasury. You know, the safe behind the Picasso over our bed. I know there’s nobody home in that big empty head of yours, but don’t forget.”

Didi smiled and bowed, ready to carry out her boss’s orders, but Raul cleared his voice.

“Wait.”

Didi turned and went back to following his pretty fingers.

“Let’s not tell Diane about this. She doesn’t need to know where the neighbors’ goods are. You can just put it in the safe, close it up tight, and forget you ever saw it. Doesn’t that sound easy?”

“Yyyeeessss…” Diane hissed as Raul’s fingers continued to pull away her thoughts.

“Good girl. Just between us. Off you go!”

Raul gave his wife a quick swat on the rump as she passed. That would have normally got him a slap or at least a sharp rebuke from Diane, but Didi loved male attention. The more degrading the better.

As she went to stash away the neighbors’ effects, Raul sat back in the armchair stashed in the corner, thinking of his next move.
