"Look at me, plaything. I want you to drop for me."
    Alyx did as xe was told. Xe dropped for Lucille.
    "Oh, no you don't, pet," Alyx's other Domme, Stace, spoke up. "You're going to come back up for me, wide and awake and alert."
    Once again, Alyx did as xe was told. Both Dommes fractionated xir mind, and had been going at it for what felt like hours. Alyx's mind was slowly turning to mush. Xe didn't care. Xe loved the feeling of xir brain melting out of xir ears.
    Their head rose as xe came back to consciousness, looking at both Lucille and Stace with a wide grin on xir face.
    "I told you to drop, plaything," Lucille said threateningly. She grabbed a fistful of Alyx's hair and pulled down, forcefully dropping xir back into trance. "You want to obey me, don't you? So you're going to just sit in that nice, cozy place for me."
    When Alyx pitched the idea of xir two Dommes playing together, xe knew they were both going to get quite devious. What xe didn't anticipate was both of them putting xir in a literally unwinnable situation. If xe followed Lucille's command, xe was disobeying Stace. And if xe obeyed Stace and came back to, xe would get in trouble with Lucille. There was no correct answer other than to follow whoever was commanding Alyx.
    Stace grabbed the bottom of Alyx's chin and looked into xir glazed eyes like daggers. She began counting as Alyx rose back out of trance. "One, two, three, and--"
    "Drop," Lucille interrupted, ripping Alyx from Stace's hand and dropping xir again. "Calm. Relaxing. Soothing. Obedient. You know this place so well, plaything. You never want to leave."
    "Four, five..." Stace began counting again, and Alyx wasn't sure how deep xe should be at that point. They felt xirself rising back up again, ready to jump into xir Dommes' arms, and more than ready to rest their mind.
    Lucille wasn't having it. "You're disobeying me, plaything. You know what happens when you disobey me." Alyx whimpered as xe hung in the middle of trance and the waking world. "Drop for me. You know what trance feels like. You could spend your entire life deep for me, under my spell. Drop, plaything. Drop."
    "Come back up now," Stace said just as Alyx got comfortable again.
    "Drop."
    "Rise."
    "Drop."
    They both let Alyx hang there for a moment, letting xir relax, letting xir body -- and mind -- take a breather. As soon as they were both satisfied, they began counting Alyx back up, bringing xir back into the waking world together.
    As Alyx's eyes opened, xe murmured out a greeting and asked, "Did I do well?"
    "Oh, no, you disobeyed not only me, but both of us," Lucille grinned threateningly. "I think this calls for punishment -- from both of us."
    "I agree," Stace said. "What do you say, pet?"
    Alyx hung xir head. "Yes. Thank you."
