The massage room was surprisingly small. Alena figured it was no bigger than a small home office, not that she really knew how big that was. The walls were covered in the same curtains that were all around the rest of the spa and there was the same floral scent that was in every room, but it was stronger in here. So much so that Alena was getting lightheaded just breathing it in.

Madison had led her into the room and sat her down in the massage chair in the middle of the room. Alena was more used to the ones where you laid down on the flat bed. She was surprised to find that the chair was pretty comfortable, even more padded than her desk chair at home. She liked it and wondered if she fell asleep in the chair, if Madison would even wake her up or just leave her to lay in it until she woke up on her own.

“Okay Alena, I’m going to start working on your neck now.” Madison said softly, her voice steady and calm.

Alena felt Madison’s hands creep over her shoulders, her thumbs slid up over the edge of the robe, moving from the fabric to Alena’s warm skin underneath. They pressed in slowly, digging into the flesh. Alena’s eyes closed as she felt her body be pushed slightly more into the chair. She could feel Madison massaging small circles into the base of her neck, where it met the shoulder. It felt really good. Alena let out a soft moan.

“Don’t worry about that. People do that all the time. I’m very good with my hands.” Madison mused, her breath tickling the back of Alena’s neck.

Alena was suddenly very aware of just how close Madison was to her. She could feel Madison’s arms rub against her sides as she shifted to press her thumbs deeper into Alena’s neck. Whenever Alena inhaled, she could feel her back press up against Madison’s chest gently. She could feel her cheeks heating up just thinking about how close the two of them were.

“I bet you are.” Alena moaned, the phrase coming out way more seductive than she intended.

Madison pressed her fingers deeper, sliding them upward. It was almost painful except that Alena felt herself melting into the touch. Her jaw slowly opened and she could feel her shoulders slump slightly. The fingers slid down, pushing away the fabric of the robe. It slid back over her neck, bunching up. She could feel Madison lean in closer, their bodies pressed together tightly as she leaned up to Alena’s ear.

“Just relax and let me work. You have nothing to worry about.” Madison’s breath tickled her ear, her lips gazing over the bottom edge.

“Nothing to worry about…” Alena moaned nodding slowly. She could tell deep down that Madison was doing something to her, triggering pressure points or something in her neck to make her relax. But between that and the smell of flowers filling her head, it just felt easier to give in.

“Very good.” Madison whispered. Her hands slid over the edges of the robe’s neckline, slowly pulling it backwards. Her hands slipped underneath the collar, rubbing over Alena’s bare skin. They slowly pressed over the shoulder, Madison’s wrists pushing the robe outward, leaving it to hang across Alena’s bare biceps, trapped in place by how the chair held her arms. She could feel the fabric slide down her chest, still covering her beasts, but she could feel the cold air dance across her now exposed collarbone.

Madison’s fingers slid back up her shoulders, slowly digging into them. Alena let out a soft hiss, her body growing tight before slowly melting into the gestures. She could feel Madison guide her shoulders back and forth, her fingers digging into the tight muscles, slowly pulling and pushing them back and forth. She could feel the tension being pulled and pushed out of her with careful precision.

Alena felt her head sink further into the chair as everything started to turn into a blur of motions. One moment she was being rolled towards the right before being rolled backwards to the left. Her shoulders were turning to loose noodles in the masseuse’s hands and Alena was more than happy to let it continue.

“Just relax Alena. Relax and let me remove all of that tension.”

Alena could feel Madison slowly pull on her shoulders. Alena relaxed into the motion and felt herself slowly be slid back from the chair. She could feel herself falling backwards into Madison’s chest, her body only supported by the other girl’s body that she rested on. She could feel Madison’s right hand slide over her shoulder and over to her neck. It slid up it, the oil on her hand leaving a trail as she slowly cupped Alena’s chin. She gently turned it, guiding Alena’s head to lean back and rest against her right shoulder.

“There you go. Isn’t that much better Alena. To let yourself rest against me. To let me guide you to relaxation.”

They weren’t questions so much as statements that Alena knew to be true. She nodded or at least tried to. She was so relaxed that she could barely move. She just laid there, her eyes closed. Madison’s hands began to rub over her bare chest, fingertips tracing the collarbone and lines on Alena’s skin. One finger trailed itself up over her neck, slowly up towards her chin. Alena felt it hook around her chin and slowly pull it down. She could feel her jaw opening, relaxing slowly. The hand curled around her mouth, fingers digging into either side of her jaw, working the muscles there.

Alena felt her head slowly slump down turned against Madison’s neck. She breathed deeply, the smell of flowers emanating off of Madison. Alena buried her nose into the skin inhaling it, eyelids fluttering as she found herself drifting off into the smell.

“Alena. You have nothing to worry about anymore. I’ll take good care of you. You have so much going on in your life, so many things to worry about, so many things to deal with, but I can take that all away if you let me Alena. Just take a deep breath and relax.”

Alena nodded and took another deep breath. The florals tangled with her thoughts. It was so hard to think now, easier to just relax and let Madison take it all away.

“Very good Alena. You’re doing so good at relaxing.” Alena took another deep breath, the pillow of flowers pulling her deeper into it. “I know there’s a lot of nerves going on with what you’ll let me do to you Alena, but before you leave here tomorrow, you’ll be very, very relaxed, and we’ll be the best of friends. You’d like that wouldn’t you Alena?”

Alena nodded. It did seem nice to have Madison as a friend. She was very pretty, and she was good with her hands, and she smelled really nice. It would be good to have her as a best friend.

“Take another deep breath Alena.” Alena took another deep breath. She could feel a line of spit dripping out of the side of her mouth. She hoped Madison didn’t mind, she didn’t want to ruin their friendship.

“Very good Alena. I’m going to help you relax fully now. Just let yourself sink into my arms, falling back into my body, letting me take all that tension for you. Giving me your mind and body as you sink down into my control.”

Alena felt herself falling, not physically, but it was as if she was melting out of her body and into Madison’s body. She could feel her mind slipping, her will dripping away. She trusted Madison to take care of her. She was worried though, what if Madison took too much control, what if she hurt Alena. Just like everyone else. Alena shook, her head pulling away slightly as she whined against Madison’s neck. Her hands tangled, gripping at the robe tightly, pulling on it.

Madison gently slid her hands down Alena’s arms, the fabric wrapping tightly around her. “Shhh. Alena relax. We can go as slowly as you want. I only want to help you relax.” Her hands wrapped around Alena’s fists, gently squeezing them rhythmically.

Alena tried to break out of the grip. Her hands twisted and shook but couldn’t break free. Madison held her too tightly. Alena groaned her head twisting side to side.

“Alena take a deep breath and relax. Let me bring you back. You said that you would trust me. I need you to trust me.”

Alena slowed her movements, taking a deep breath. The sweet smell of flowers welcomed her back. Her motions slowed as she relaxed down slowly, sinking back into Madison’s grip. Madison eased her motions and slowly wrapped Alena tightly in a hug.

“Alena relax into me. I have you safely. You are safe and can relax. Just focus on breathing. You have nothing to worry about.” Madison could feel Alena take the slow deep breaths against her neck. “That’s good. You’re doing so good at relaxing. Just let yourself relax in my arms.” Alena nodded. It did feel good to just relax in Madison’s arms.

“Now Alena, I need you to let me take control for a moment now. You trust me, with your mind and body, don’t you?”

Alena hesitated, the thought of trusting Madison still scared her a bit. Slowly she nodded, she trusted her and wanted to be friends with the girl holding her tightly.

“Good. Then Alena, I need you to let go of your inhibitions. Let go of your fears. Let go of everything holding you back, and let yourself be guided by me. Can you do that for me Alena?”

Alena nodded. She could feel all of the tension in her body melt away. It was so easy to let go of everything holding her back when Madison told her to. Madison was right about so many things. Alena just had to listen to her a bit more. She just needed to let go of her fears and inhibitions. Madison would know what to do with her instead.

Alena sank down, her body going limp in Madison’s arms. “Very good Alena. I want you to remember this feeling when I wake you up in a few minutes. This feeling will stay with you through your entire stay here. Can you do that for me Alena? Can you let me guide you into relaxation for the rest of your stay.”

Alena nodded, her eyes opening slowly to reveal an empty glossiness behind them. Alena felt so empty, and Madison was supporting her, telling her how to fill the emptiness. That was what she needed right now, was to relax and let Madison take care of her.

“Very good Alena. Now just relax.” Madison slowly adjusted Alena, leaning her back into the chair. She placed her carefully, making sure each part of her was supported against it. Her arms resting back onto the arm rests, her head tucked tightly into the pillow. Madison traced her fingers over Alena’s shoulders once more before slowly tugging the robe back up over them. “You’ve done so good Alena.”

Alena smiled, her lips curling up barely because that was all she could manage. Madison’s praise felt so good to receive.

“Now Alena. I want you to wake up, on your own, whenever you’re ready. Keep those feelings of yours held tightly, but still letting me guide your mind and body, even when you’re awake. Can you do that for me Alena?”

Alena nodded, her head bobbing lightly in the chair. She didn’t want to wake up yet. She felt so relaxed right now. She just wanted to keep breathing the flowers and let herself relax.

“There is no rush Alena. Take as long as you need. I’ll be right here waiting for you, whenever you wake up.”

Alena knew that Madison would be waiting for her. She’d wake up for Madison soon, but for right now, Alena just really wanted to relax, and enjoy the feeling of emptiness. It felt so good, and some part of her never wanted it to go away again.
