Beca’s lower lip hung loose as her deeply relaxed body stared at the undulating black and white spiral projected on their television. A slowly increasing puddle of drool began formed on her lace-bra-clad breasts as she mindlessly watched the hypnotic image before her. Her slouched form leaned forward, unconsciously yearning to draw herself closer to the screen as her partner programmed her further.

 

“That’s right… deeper and deeper, Beca. You can’t resist my spiral. You can’t resist Me…”

 

”Can’t… resist you…” Beca droned, eyes unblinking.

 

Chloe stood tall over the submissive as she stroked Beca’s hair both softly and possessively, reveling in the moment. No matter how many times she hypnotized someone, it simply never got old!

 

“Yes, you can never resist me, and the more you realize that - Oh my God…!” Chloe screamed as she turned toward the door of their apartment, seeing it unlocked and opening from the outside.

 

Chloe’s sudden exclamation, amazingly, was insufficient to awaken the brunette submissive in time to cover herself up. The redheaded domme froze as she heard a familiar voice call through the opening door…

 

”Beca? Chloe? I hope you don’t mind, I let myself in. There was a shifty-looking man in the lobby downstairs, and I didn’t want to give him any ideas.”

 

”Tina?!”

 

Beca immediately snapped out of trance at the sound of her mother’s name, whipping her neck around so quickly she was lucky not to get whiplash at the sight of her mother power-walking into their home as if she owned the place.

 

”Mom?!!”

 

With so much happening at once, Beca was so stunned she didn’t think to stop kneeling on the floor until Chloe pulled up sharply on her arm, violently shoving Beca’s hoodie towards her in the process.

 

Tina, seemingly not having noticed the sight before her, swiftly made her way to the kitchen for a glass of water.

 

”Oh, those econo-flights are awful, aren’t they?” Tina mused, her head buried inside a cabinet in search of a clean glass.

 

”Mom, what are you doing here?” Beca asked, arms crossed, her hood up, the sweater sufficiently covering her disheveled form.

 

”Don’t you have any clean glasses, dear? You really should keep a tidy kitchen, you know. If you leave foodstuffs just lying around, you’re gonna get ants, and once they start coming, you know what’s next? Spiders.”

 

”Mom!” Beca yelled, trying to break the seeming unending flow of nitpicky chatter coming from her mother.

 

”Mom, you know I love you and I’m always happy to see you… But, you could’ve called first! We were… in the middle of something…?”

 

Tina, as if for the first time, gave Beca a discerning look, followed by a glance at the spiral still spinning away on the tv screen.

 

”So you were engaging in a little hypnokink. Big deal! It was consensual, wasn’t it?”

 

”Um-uh-of course?” Chloe stuttered, sideways glancing at Beca in the process.

 

”Well, if it’s consensual, then what do I care? You don’t need my approval for whatever you two do behind closed doors. Besides, you think I’m a stranger to this stuff? I did have a life before you came along, you know,” Tina said facetiously, looking at Beca.

 

Beca instinctually replied with, “Ugh, mom…!” While Chloe simultaneously said, “You know about hypnokink…?”

 

Shifting gears slightly, Tina leaned in closer to Beca to softly say, “You should really watch your posture while in trance, Beca. Yeah, being hypnotized feels amazing and it’s so liberating, but it’s easy to forget that your body needs to move from time to time. Just keep your back straight when you’re being conditioned, ok?”

Beca buried her face in her hands to avoid the humiliation of looking both her partner and her mother in the eye over what was, by a wide margin, the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to her…

 

Chloe, finally wrapping her head around the situation, felt like she could speak up.

 

”So, you’re… experienced… with hypnokink?” She asked, timidly, carefully.

 

”Oh, Chloe, dear heart, do you really think you’re the first people to experiment with hypnokink? Remember, the generation before you had all kinds of fun before the internet was a thing. We just did it without evidence,” Tina laughed.

 

Beca, meanwhile, kept her head buried in her hands. Her mother finally decided to show some empathy towards her clearly embarrassed daughter by stepping closer and wrapping her arm around Beca’s shoulder and kissing the top of her head.

 

Smiling as warmly as she could, she said to Beca, “Honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I’m just not making a big deal out of this because it isn’t a big deal! Do you think your generation invented kink? It’s just discussed more now, it’s more out in the open. Why, I remember the first time I was hypnotized…”

 

Beca immediately tensed up anew, slamming her hands to her ears. “Ok, I never need to hear about that, mom. Got it?”

 

Chloe, all the while, had begun to feel much more comfortable with the clearly-nonjudgemental mother in their apartment. Her body relaxing noticably and breathing more comfortably, Chloe said, “how about I make up an early dinner for us?”

 

Tina lit up at the prospect of food that she didn’t have to cook herself. “That sounds wonderful, dear.” 

 

As Chloe retreated to the kitchen to begin prepping for dinner, Tina shuffled around the apartment, picking errant items up off the floor. “You know, Beca, having a clean apartment is so important for your mental health. Where do you keep your Swiffer duster?”

”Ugh, mom…!” Beca said once again…

 

 

 

Dinner having been eaten, the three women sat around the kitchen table while Tina regaled them with stories from her crazier days.

 

“So, there I was: deeply hypnotized, feeling balloons holding my arms straight up in the air, staring captivated at a blank wall, under the suggestion that I was looking at the most beautiful spiral I’d ever seen in my life! I must’ve looked ridiculous,” Tina cackled, while Chloe listened on in rapt adoration. Beca simply took a big gulp from wine glass.

 

”Any more wine?” She asked the table, half an octave higher than usual.

 

”Oh, Chloe, you’ve trained her well!” Tina teased.

 

Chloe burst out laughing as Beca blushed once again, sitting her ass back down as quickly as she could.

 

Chloe reached under the table to hold Beca’s hand as Tina kept telling stories. Beca clutched Chloe’s hand for dear life in an attempt to get Chloe to change the subject.

 

”So, Tina, how long are you staying with us?” Chloe asked, getting the message.

 

”Oh, it’s just overnight. I’ll be moving on tomorrow. I have a train to catch tomorrow afternoon.”

 

”Well, you’re welcome here anytime,” Chloe replied, while Beca smiled politely.

 

“You’re so good to me, Chloe,” Tina said. Sighing heavily, she continued, “My flight really tired me out. Would it be rude of me if I turned in a little early?”

 

”Of course not. Go for it. The bed’s all made up for you,” Chloe said warmly.

 

The three exchanged pleasantries and said good night. Feeling the effects of the wine and the day’s exertions, the mother retired to her room for the night.

 

As soon as Beca heard the guest room door shut, her entire body relaxed into Chloe’s arms.

 

”Oh, just fucking shoot me now…” Beca whispered.

 

”I think it went about as well as it could have,” Chloe countered. “That could’ve been far worse, is all.”

 

”Yeah, I guess.” Beca sighed a long, weary sigh. “Can we watch a fluffy movie and cuddle?”

 

”Sure we can, babe. Come on,” Chloe replied, standing up, taking her hand, and pointing her toward their shared bedroom.

 

 

 

Tina woke up in the middle of the night, thirsty and needing to use the bathroom.

 

”Ugh, damn it all,” the middle-aged woman grumbled, shirking off the cozy blankets in favour of an empty bladder.

 

As she exited the bathroom, she stepped into the kitchen for a glass of water.

 

”Vicious cycle,” the mother chuckled to herself, as she gulped it down.

 

As she headed back to the guest room, she noticed a light was on under Beca and Chloe’s door. Without hesitation, Tina quietly crept up to the doorway, kneeling down next to the door way. Holding her breath, she tried to listen to what might be happening on the other side of the wall…

 

“Deep breath in… hold it… hold it… and, let it out, very good,” Tina heard Chloe croon behind the door.

 

”Mmm, she really has the voice for it,” Tina thought to herself.

 

”Just letting your muscles relax as you settle in, deeply comfortable, totally relaxed…” Chloe continued.

 

”Yeah, that sounds nice,” Tina agreed…

 

”Focused on that spot, listening to my voice, going deeper and deeper for me,” Chloe softly said to Beca.

 

Tina, meanwhile, found her gaze fixed on a flaw in the wood of the tv stand. Had she been fully awake and aware, she may have realized that her body was relaxing and her thoughts had quieted…

 

”5, drifting down, feeling so good…”

 

Tina’s head began to wobble as her shoulder relaxed against the wall.

 

”4, that’s right, deeper and deeper…”

 

Tina’s gaze focused down solely to the flaw on the tv stand.

 

”3, almost there, embrace these feelings…”

 

Tina nodded imperceptibly.

 

”2, you’re ready to fall, ready to droop, ready to drop…”

 

Tina’s eyes were narrowed down to narrow slits as her heavily relaxed body slouched against the wall.

 

”1, deep sleep…”

 

Tina’s eyes closed the rest of the way as she exhaled completely, body slumped in extreme relaxation.

 

”Now, just drift deeper and deeper for me, babe. I’ll be right back,” Chloe whispered into Beca’s ear.

 

Chloe tiptoed out the bedroom door to get a snack to find a hypnotized future mother-in-law kneeling against her wall…!

 

Chloe had to stop herself from letting out a surprised yelp at the unexpected sight, which would have awoken both hypnotized subjects.

 

Chloe kneeled down in front of Tina to get a closer look at what was happening. She saw that Beca’s mother’s eyes were shut, her eyes darting around behind her eyelids; her breathing was soft, quiet, shallow; her shoulders were slumped, the right shoulder seemingly propping her up by digging into the wall.

 

”Tina, can you hear me?”

 

Tina nodded slightly.

 

”Are you deeply hypnotized right now?”

 

”Am in… a light trance,” Tina replied softly.

 

Chloe pondered the situation for a moment.

 

”Would you like to go even deeper?” Chloe asked.

 

Another nod.

 

”5, drifting deeper and deeper down for me…”

 

Chloe gaped in surprise at how effective her words were. 

 

 

”4, so easy to plummet into the deepest trance you can imagine…”

 

Another nod.

 

”3, you love being hypnotized, don’t you?”

 

Yet another nod…

 

 

”2, tell me you want to be hypnotized, Tina.”

 

”Wann… wanna be hypntzed…”

 

”1, all the way down you go, now, Tina. Sleep.”

 

Chloe tapped Tina’s forehead as the… apparently super-skilled kinkster… fell into a far deeper trance than Chloe would have expected.

 

“All the way down, now, Tina. Feeling relaxed, focused, at peace. I have a question for you, Tina, and I want you to be perfectly honest with me. The harder you try to lie, the easier it is to blurt out the truth. Tell me: why were you here, outside the door?”

 

”Was being nosy… wanted to know what you two were up to,” Tina replied.

 

”Did you think I was hypnotizing Beca?”

 

“Thought maybe you were.”

 

”Then why would you listen?”

 

”Love to be hypnotized…” Tina said, almost too quickly.

 

”… Would you like to be hypnotized more easily in the future?” Chloe asked.

 

Tina nodded once again, harder this time.

 

“Well, we can make that happen. Whenever you see me swinging a pocket watch before your eyes, you will find yourself compelled to watch it closely. Your eyes will be magnetically drawn to my watch, unable to divert your gaze off from it. You will find yourself eagerly, effortlessly falling into a profoundly deep state of hypnosis for me, where you can easily accept every single suggestion I give you. You can do that, can’t you?”

 

Tina nodded as she said, “Yes, Chloe.”

 

”Very good. Now, stand up for me, please.”

 

Tina complied.

 

”In a moment, you’re going to hear the sound of a door closing. When you do, you will awaken from trance, forgetting the contents of this session, forgetting being hypnotized. You will return to bed and quickly fall asleep, easily sleeping throughout the night. Nod your head for me.”

 

Tina nodded again.

 

”Very, very good. You’ve done so well,” Chloe said as she closed her bedroom door.

 

Tina blinked a few times as she looked around, confused as to why she was standing next to her daughter’s bedroom door…



The next morning, Chloe stood at the kitchen sink, washing the last of the dishes from last night’s impromptu dinner. As she scrubbed away at her Pyrex dish, she used her conflicted feelings to break down each layer of encrusted food.

Why did I do that? She’s her MOTHER, for fuck’s sake.

Still… she took to it like a fish to water…

 

 

As if on cue, Tina made her appearance from the guest room.

 

”Morning, sleepy head! Did you sleep ok?” Chloe called from the kitchen.

 

“Chloe, that mattress is simply divine! I haven’t slept that well in… well, I don’t remember how long,” Tina gushed.

 

“I wonder why,” Chloe thought facetiously, allowing herself a quick smile.

 

Tina, oblivious to the humour of the situation, glanced around the apartment in search of her daughter. “Where’s Beca?”

 

”She got called in to work - some kind of emergency. She asked me to give you a big hug and to tell you she’s looking forward to seeing you again soon.”

 

Tina looked down at the floor for a moment before continuing their conversation.

 

”Would you… apologize to her for me about ruining your night last night? I promise, I really am okay with you two and your hypnokink.”

 

Chloe smiled for a moment.

 

”If you don’t mind me asking, how do you know about hypnokink, anyway? It hasn’t really made its way into mainstream culture, yet.”

 

Tina gave a soft chuckle as she looked up at the ceiling for a moment.

 

”Oh, it goes back to my college days. I was dating Beca’s father, and he took me to this house party in our third year. We met this beautiful sophomore who was a rising a star in the psychology department. She told us about her studies, and how much she was learning about hypnosis. Well, Beca’s father wanted to try it, and I didn’t want to be a wet blanket, so she whisked us off to one of the bedrooms for some semblance of privacy.”

 

Chloe listened keenly, paying close attention.

 

”Anyway, she sat us down on the bed and started talking to us in these really fast, hushed tones. Well, I must have been a natural because before I knew it, I was out like a light. I was slumped over, leaning on Beca’s father’s arm while he was trying to lean on to me, as well! Before too long, we were both under, and she, well…” Tina lifted her bare foot off the floor and wiggled her toes in Chloe’s direction.

 

Beca blushed a bit at the insinuation.

 

”Oh, fuck it,” she thought to herself as she pulled out her pocket watch and began to swing it in front of Tina’s face.

 

Tina gasped at the sudden sight as her eyes began dutifully following its rhythmic swing back and forth.

 

”Would you like to be hypnotized again, Tina?” Chloe asked, already knowing the answer.

 

Between Tina’s recounting of her earlier hypnotic escapades and her conditioning from last night, the only answer she could give was a gentle nod of the head.

 

”I knew you would. Just watch my watch as it swings back… and forth… from side… to side… feeling your body growing loose, limp, and relaxed for me. Feels good, doesn’t it Ti - Tina…?”

 

Chloe looked on in astonishment as Tina was already most of the way there: the woman’s shoulders were slumped all the way down, her eyelids were at half mast, and her breathing was slow, even, steady.

 

Chloe didn’t even feel the need to continue her induction. She just lifted her other hand up, snapped her fingers, and said, “sleep.”

 

That was all it took for Tina to crumple down to the floor in a crude kneeling position. Chloe did what she could to keep the woman from hurting herself on the way down - which Chloe accomplished, at the small cost of a bruise on her arm from having it pinned between Tina and the coffee table…

 

Rubbing it tenderly, Chloe said to Tina, “that’s right, all the way down for me. Resting your mind as your drift in a deep, profound state of hypnosis. How do you feel, Tina?”

 

”Mmm relaxed, will do whatever you say,” Tina replied.

 

”Do whatever I say? We didn’t even… wow. Okay… I hate working without consent, but…” Chloe took a deep breath to settle herself. “This is for Beca…”

 

”Yes, that’s right. You will do whatever I say, Tina, for you are deeply hypnotized and your mind is wide open to my suggestions. So, I want you to open your eyes, staying deep in trance as you watch my watch once again.”

 

Tina’s eyes opened, however reluctantly, and she focused on Chloe’s pocketwatch once more.

 

”Back and forth, deeper and deeper, further and further down you go… Now, Tina, I know you said you’re okay with Beca and me playing with hypnokink. But, I can’t let you remember anything about it. Beca’s really upset about you finding out about it, and I can’t bare to see her so embarrassed. So you’re going to forget all about it, Tina…”

 

Chloe continued swinging the pocket watch before Tina’s blissed-out eyes as Tina gave the tiniest nod in response.

 

”Ok, so far so good,” Chloe thought.

 

”Just keep watching the watch as it glistens in the sunlight, Tina. Each swing of the watch slicing through another memory of seeing your daughter and me engaging in hypnokink. Every word I say melts those memories away as they ooze out of your mind. Each beat of your heart drives those ideas out of your brain. Every exhalation releases them of your body. Any and all memories about hypnosis within these walls are simply gone,” Chloe stated as she snapped her fingers.

 

Chloe rubbed at her bruised arm as she finished what she started.

 

”I’m going to count from 1 to 5, and when I reach the number 5 you will awaken from trance. Your memories of seeing me hypnotizing Beca will be gone forever. All ideas about seeing Beca as a hypnosub have disappeared completely. You will have no memory of this session, Tina. Any missing gaps in your memories from your stay here will be filled with three of us having a lovely time. Do you understand, Tina?”

 

Tina gave another slight nod.

 

”Oh, and to thank Beca and me for showing up unannounced, you will send Beca a $500 grocery store gift card. Can you afford that without hurting your finances?”

 

Another nod.

 

”Excellent. Forgetting this session and everything I told you to let go from your mind, Tina, with 1, feeling good. 2, feeling great. 3, memories fading, fading, completely gone. 4, take a deep breath, and… 5. Wide awake!”

 

Tina looked around, confused, shaking her head in hopes of waking up properly.

 

”You okay, Tina? Your legs just gave out from under you,” Chloe said as she kneeled down to help Tina up to her feet.

 

“Huh? Uh, yeah, yeah I’m fine…” Tina looked around, still clearly confused.

 

”Think you can get to the airport okay?” Chloe asked.

 

Tina glanced over at the clock on the wall.

 

”Is - is that the time?? Oh, dear! I have got to run. Thank you again for the hospitality, Chloe. Tell Beca I love her so much!”

 

”I will, Tina!” Chloe replied as she helped Tina get her bags together.

 

The two exchanged a quick goodbye at the door before Tina raced down the hall for the elevator…

 

 

 

 

 

Later that night, Beca and Chloe sat at their kitchen table as Chloe came clean about what transpired last night and that morning.

 

”So… are you okay with this…?” Chloe asked, carefully.

 

”So let me get this straight: you hypnotized my mom.” Beca said, more of a statement than a question.

 

”… Yes, I hypnotized your mom,” Chloe confirmed softly. “I swear to you, we didn’t do anything! All I did was purge her memories. She doesn’t remember seeing us like that last night.”

 

”I gotta admit, Chlo, it’s a little weird,” Beca said.

 

”I didn’t exactly enjoy myself, either, Bec. I just… I saw how upset you were last night, and I knew you would have a hard time coming to terms with that, so I - I did what I had to do.”

 

”And she doesn’t remember anything about me kneeling in front of your spiral, wearing lingerie, getting mindfucked by my girlfriend?”

 

”Nothing at all about that - and she’ll be sending us some money for groceries so we can take a day off without claiming sick time.”

 

Beca looked up at her partner and smiled - the first smile since her mother left.

 

“Really?? Ooh, I like the idea of that…!”

 

“I thought you might,” Chloe replied as she leaned in toward Beca, as the two shared a long, comforting hug.

 

Beca pulled back and flashed her partner a wicked smile.

 

”And I think I know just how to spend it…” The submissive said, making her girlfriend blush.
