This was it. This was going to be the day.
Kody felt as thought she had been preparing for it every day for the past two years. The day she would leave her girlfriend - her Mistress. Kody knew less than a week into the relationship that it wasn't right, that it wasn't going to work. She tried to break up with Madison, fully aware that the high-powered executive could ruin the rest of her life in the snap of a finger. Madison merely smirked as Kody went off on her. Days later, Kody found herself returning to Madison, begging for her to take her back.
Kody knew that something was off. She'd been in bad relationships before, for sure. But no matter how strong willed and confident Kody was, her attempted breakups always ended one way: With her changing her mind and coming back. Every time she thought she truly broke loose, something felt missing. She felt wrong. And whenever she went back to Madison, well... as cruel as Madison could be, she fulfilled that hole in Kody's heart.
Finally, Kody realized what was going on. Madison was using the same technique she had used on all her competitors: her cold, calculating grasp of personal manipulation. Luckily, Kody reconnected with her high school friend, Sasha, a few weeks prior. Sasha, always having been a kind and generous person, offered to keep Kody at her place until those feelings would go away. She even offered to let Kody stay with her. Which was a good thing; Kody had moved into Madison's place long ago, and she had nowhere else to go.
She even helped Kody make a script. Kody rehearsed the break up monologue enough times that it burnt into her brain. With every repetition, she felt a little less bad about leaving Madison. Now, she didn't feel bad *for* Madison; after all, even she couldn't deny that Madison was little more than a stone-cold lady who just happened to find success.
Kody knew if she wasn't home in the next 20 minutes, she'd be punished, by her Mistress' orders. So she rehearsed one last time.
"I wish you well, but I can't be in your life," Kody finished. "How... was that?"
"Perfect," Sasha said with a mock chef's kiss. "I'll give you a drive back. Let's tear that bitch down."
Kody wiped her stray tear away, and got into Sasha's tiny vehicle. They drove off to Kody's living space -- she couldn't even call it her home. But this time, Kody was ready. She was prepared. Kody wasn't quite sure where her life was going to go after this... but as long as she was apart from Madison, she'd be trending in the right direction.
The drive was about 15 minutes -- giving Kody a bit of time to gather herself mentally -- before they landed back at the mansion. God, Kody always thought Madison just had too much money. At one point it was just excessive. She shivered thinking about how Madison treated her employees, if this was the way she treated her supposed girlfriend.
"Go get her," Sasha said, pulling Kody into a hug. "I'll be here as long as you need me to."
"Thanks," Kody murmured. She grabbed her purse, inhaled, and stepped out of the car. The lights in the house were on, and yet dim. Kody fumbled with her purse, gulped. As she didn't even have a key to the house, she pressed the doorbell, and waited for Madison.
And waited.
Eventually, Kody gave up, and tried turning the doorknob a tad. Shockingly, the door was open. Kody sighed in relief. She was surprised Madison would just leave it open... then again, it wasn't particularly in a neighborhood with a ton of crime. Not to mention, Madison had cameras everywhere.
Kody took her shoes off, and plopped herself on the couch. At least she'd have a bit of extra time to prepare herself-
"Hello, plaything."
Or not.
Kody whipped her head around. She hadn't even noticed that Madison was in the kitchen, pouring two glasses of wine. Not that Kody felt in the mood to drink -- though she supposed that wouldn't matter to Madison.
"Hello," Kody said tersely. "How was your day?"
"Oh, you know, the usual. Told some people off, gave myself a raise, that kind of thing."
Kody wished she could say her words made her shiver in anger. But no. No matter what Madison was saying, her words would make Kody tremble in anticipation. In... almost a way, delight. "I-I see," Kody murmured, trying to shove down any feelings of submission she carried with her. That was one of the biggest problems. Kody was a die-hard submissive. She couldn't be a Domme even if she wanted to. And Madison was evil, but if someone was looking for a D/s arrangement, they couldn't have looked further than Madison.
"My dear, you look like you have something on your mind." Kody froze. She always wondered if Madison was an esper, or if Kody just wore her heart on her sleeve. "What's on your mind?"
"I...I..." Kody gulped. She looked away.
Madison put the glasses down on the table, and stormed up to Kody. "I asked you a question, plaything. Answer."
Kody gave a sharp inhale. "I... I'm leaving you, Madison."
"Oh?" Madison raised a bemused eyebrow. That made Kody's blood boil - in anger, or in arousal, she couldn't tell. "You've caught my interest. Go on."
"This, um," Kody couldn't believe herself. She rehearsed for hours and yet she still was full of stammers and hesitations. Did she even want to leave? She forced herself to continue. "This isn't working out for me. I don't think we're a good match anymore, and, I know I've come back to you a few times, but this is it. I'm done. I wish you well, but--"
Kody was cut off as Madison placed her hands on Kody's shoulders and shoved her against the wall. Her fighter instincts kicked in as she tried to break free from Madison's claws. Her flails were as weak as flailing could be. In fact, she was more just, flopping around.
"This is the fifth time we've had this conversation, dear.” Madison, with Kody pinned against the wall, felt her sub's cheek lightly. "You should know by now that you can't leave. After all, that's how I made you."
Kody's eyes widened. What in the world was Madison talking about? She... didn't feel like that was the first time she'd heard that sentence from her Domme. That fact made it much more sinister.
"Do you even wonder why you haven't left me yet? It's because you're not able to. I removed that idea from your silly little brain long ago. You're mine forever, plaything. You don't get to leave."
Kody shook her head. "Y-yes, I do!" She challenged, though the words felt artificial in her mouth. "I'm leaving you--"
SLAP!
Kody winced as the slap came hard onto her cheek. The look in Madison's eyes was in no way cruel, and in fact looked... oddly soft. Kody didn't have time to think more on that. Heck, she didn't even have the bandwidth. Madison looked at her with icy eyes. Her hands still planted on Kody's shoulders. And then...
Madison exhaled, and released Kody. "Fine, then. Leave."
Kody paused. *This is my opportunity.* "Okay. Bye, Madison."
And just as Kody was about to move from her place, she heard Madison say one more word. One word that shifted the neurons left in Kody's brain. "Locked."
Kody was once again pinned to the wall. This time, not by Madison's hands, but by her own brain. Kody struggled to get loose. She twitched weakly. The only parts of her moving were her chest, inhaling, and her eyes, rapidly blinking.
"Well? What are you waiting for?" Madison said in a mocking tone. "I told you to leave. I thought you wanted to leave. What's wrong? Is it because I used that trigger I brainwashed into you?"
"Wh...what?" Kody stammered out. Even her voice was breathy, weak, just like the rest of her.
"Mm, yes, I've been having a great time with your brain. You see, it's much more fun to toy with someone completely dimwitted and brainless than someone who still has complicated thoughts left in them. So I took away your smarts. All that time you worked on your PhD, gone. Every advanced book you've read, every intelligent conversation you've had, gone. Don't tell me you haven't noticed it, Kody? The way it's become so hard for you to think?" The way Madison spoke was degrading, and what was even more insulting was what she was saying.
Because the more Kody thought about it, the more she realized Madison was right.
When Kody first met Madison, she had just earned her PhD in mathematics. She passed every class with flying colors. She could solve problems in the blink of an eye. Kody was bright.
And over time, she grew more dim.
She couldn't believe she only now figured it out. Why her brain felt so damn foggy all the time. Why she struggled to get out a coherent sentence. And why, whenever she tried to talk about her PhD or her interest in math, her words fell flat. Every piece of smarts was taken away from her by Madison. Every part of Kody belonged to her Domme.
Kody stammered, trying to think of a good response. "I... I can't believe you'd do that to me!" she managed. The words came a lot easier as she continued, "you're horrible!"
"How mean," Madison clicked her tongue. "I haven't done anything bad to you. After all, you're much better off being my stupid ditz than a smart grad student who thinks too hard. Like you were. How could you call that horrible?"
Madison towered over Kody. She didn't have her hands on Kody and Kody still felt completely powerless.
"You've wondered why it's so hard to fight back against me. To leave, and stay away from me. You've wondered why you always come crawling back to me on your knees. Don't you?"
Kody's eyes widened. She began to put two and two together. "So... you..."
"Ah, there you go. Your two brain cells have finally joined forces. Yes, I made you this way. I made you too stupid to leave. Too stupid to function or do anything without your kind, loving Mistress to guide the way." Madison's monologue was littered with chuckles as she spoke. "Hell, it's a miracle you can even still think of leaving. But, now that you know all this, I think it's time for me to reel you back in. Not before giving you a bit of what you deserve right now."
"No!" Kody shook her head.
"No? You don't get to use that word either, idiot." Madison's face twisted with anger. "You're beginning to test my patience, plaything. It's impressive, really. I shouldn't be angry with you - after all, you're just like a mouse under a cat's paw. Scared, helpless, using whatever it has as its last resort. You have nothing against me. What makes you think you ever have?"
Kody hated this. She hated what Madison was saying, but more importantly, she hated how much it made her squirm in need. Her legs pressed together, trying to weather the aching sensation in her cunt. Kody tried to inhale and let the pleasure forced upon her drain, but it stayed attached to her like glue. Her entire body was racked with submissive feelings, just from being insulted a few times.
"See? There you go. You're happier as a stupid, mindless bimbo. My stupid, mindless bimbo, that is," Madison spoke as she twirled Kody's hair in her hands. She began to laugh. Obviously, she was laughing at Kody, and that fact only made Kody squirm more. "Your brain isn't good for much, but it is good for my amusement. That's what you are to me, plaything. Amusement. And yet... so much more. You're my partner, dear. I love you so very much. And why would you reject someone who loves you like I do? Especially when you don't have the smarts to function without me?"
Kody shook her head. She tried to resist. She really tried. But any resistance she exhibited went unheard, unacknowledged.
Madison's hand slammed into the wall, her towering presence now much more known to Kody. The power difference was immense. Kody couldn't deny it. Madison was more powerful than her -- whatever advantage Kody had on Madison had been removed long ago. She didn't have her smarts or wit anymore. All she had was obedience, submission.
"You're stupid, plaything. But see, because you're so stupid, it means you obey me so, so well. It means all you know how to do is obey me. You need me, idiot, just like I need you to come back to after a long, hard day.
"You see, the bad thing about being smart like me, is that everyone else is so much more stupid. My employees, my competitors... and you." Madison poked Kody's nose pityingly. "But I see my work on you isn't complete. So let's keep shining a diamond."
Before Kody could resist anymore, Madison lifted her hand above Kody's head. She lowered her hand across Kody's face, and said the word "Drop."
And that's just what Kody did.
~~

        When Kody woke up, she didn’t feel like anything had changed. At least, she didn’t think so. Kody snapped back to attention, realizing Madison had once again used one of her tricks on Kody. Kody bit her lip and steeled herself for even worse. This was going to be a harder fight than she thought — Madison really did have a leg up on her.
        Kody gritted her teeth. “I wasn’t done! I’m breaking up with you, Madison!”
        “Are you sure?” Madison’s voice was annoying smug. It was as if Madison didn’t take her seriously— no, wait, that was exactly what was happening. “Dummy.”
        The world shifted. No. Kody shifted. What felt… so different? A cloud had entered her brain, obscuring whatever she was trying to say. Kody put a hand to her head as she tried desperately to remember the script. She’d rehearsed it so many times with Sasha. She had to remember. She had to.
        “W-what did you do?” Kody demanded.
        “Oh, just asked you to pleasure yourself,” Madison hummed innocently. “Which you’ll go ahead and do, if you’ve still got smarts in you.”
        “You… no, you didn’t…” Kody wouldn’t let it happen. She wouldn’t let herself be gaslit—
        She was wrong. “Dummy.”
        The fog seemed like it grew tenfold as thick. Now it was nigh impossible to think — or to resist. Kody distantly assumed that was the point. “What… where was…”
        Madison chuckled. Why was she laughing? Kody couldn’t even remember. “You were just asking for permission to pleasure yourself,” she stated as simple fact. “Which I just gave you. So, go on.”
        “Ah…” Kody blinked. That didn’t sound quite right, but it was plausible. After all, Kody couldn’t deny how pent up she felt. Her hands quickly undid her pants, and reached into her panties. “R-right. Thank you, Mistress.”
        “Mhmm,” Madison nodded, the cruel smile ever so present on her face. “Now, you were saying something about breaking up with me?”
        Kody furrowed her eyebrows. “I… was?” That didn’t sound right. Why would Kody be leaving her Mistress behind? “Why… I don’t remember…”
        Madison shrugged. “If you don’t remember, it must not have felt right. Now, why don’t you get down on your knees and lick my boots clean?”
        Kody grunted as she hit a particularly hard nerve. “Unf, I… but…”
        “Dummy. Dummy. Dummy.”
        Once more, Kody’s world changed. All she had to do was obey her Mistress. She didn’t need to think, and anyways, thinking had become oddly hard anyways. Kody obeyed. Obedience was all she knew left. She fell to her knees, no more thoughts of resistance — or in general — stuck in her head. Kody had gotten pretty good at bootlicking during the course of their relationship. At first, it grossed her out. But right now, Kody felt nothing but pride cleaning her Mistress’ boots. Let alone with her tongue and lips.
        Madison reached down to stroke Kody’s hair. “There you go, idiot. Keep pleasuring yourself, playing with yourself. That’s all you have for me. Trying to leave me is the stupidest thing you could do.”
        Kody moaned in pleasure. The degradation — in Madison’s words, in the act of bootlicking, and in the presence of Kody’s lack of wit — it set off something in her. It made her wetter. It made her fingers move quicker, along with her tongue. She felt—
        Madison snapped. “Back up.”
        Kody gasped. Her face ripped away from Madison’s boots, her fingers pausing in their strokes. “W-what am I doing?!”
        “You were going to break up with me, for some godforsaken reason.”
        “But… but…” Kody knew that much. She wasn’t completely dumb. Yet. But… “Why?”
        “I’m not quite sure,” Madison shrugged. “You just decided midway through that licking my boots clean would be a better use of your mouth. I’m in agreement with that, at least.”
        Kody shook her head. Madison was doing something to her, something. But for the life of her, Kody couldn’t understand what. Maybe she was right to be breaking up with Madison. Back to the script. Back to the script. “I don’t think—“
        “Dummy.”
        Slammed into the wall mentally once more, the script she had planned died in her throat once again. Kody desperately searched her mind, trying to remember. “I… don’t think…”
        “You don’t think… you’re getting fucked by me enough?”
        “N-no, it was… I don’t think I’m…” Getting fucked by Madison enough. That was what she had planned, right? That was the script. “I don’t think I’m getting fucked by you enough, Mistress.”
        Madison cackled. “Quite forward of you, plaything! I suppose I can accommodate that request; my boots are rather clean now, anyways, thanks to your obedient, slutty mind.”
        "Huh?" Kody furrowed her eyebrows. "I... okay. Thank you, Mistress." She didn't quite remember cleaning Madison's boots, but it didn't particularly matter. Her Mistress was right, after all - Kody wasn't getting fucked by Madison enough. In fact, most of their scenes involved Kody getting on her knees and taking care of her Mistress' pleasure, ignoring her own.
Madison pulled Kody up by her hair. Kody got the hint and stood back up. Madison's hand slipped into Kody's panties, finding the smaller girl's cunt, and tormenting it with her long fingers and sharp nails. "Dummy."
"Hmm?" Another cloud of fog hit Kody. What was she doing? Kody looked down. She was getting fingered by her Mistress, and, fuck, she forgot how good her Mistress was at that. Kody stood against the wall, panting, grabbing at the air pointlessly. She lifted one leg to give her Mistress better access to her cunt. It hurt. Her sharp nails hurt, and yet, it felt so fucking amazing.
But Kody was doing something else. At least, she thought she was. "I... M-Mistress, am I... forgetting something?" Kody finally managed out.
"Dummy. Yes, of course you did. Typical. You were breaking up with me. You even had a script in mind."
Kody's eyes widened. She was? What script? Madison sounded like she was making fun of Kody for something.
"You're so weak-willed and stupid and such a dummy that you couldn't even break up with me using your own words. I mean, look at you. You tried to leave me, and here you are, getting mercilessly fucked by me. How's that script working for you?" As she said that, Madison slipped her fingers deeper into Kody. That elicited a sharp gasp from the subby girl.
Kody shook her head. Nothing made sense. If she was breaking up with Madison - and Madison said that's what she was doing, and she was typically right - then... what was Kody doing, letting Madison toy with her like this? Kody couldn't remember anything. Whatever script she had in her mind had long packed its things and left. "I... I'm breaking up with you, um, because... because... I-I don't know..."
"Mm, I can't lie, I don't remember either. Maybe this will jolt your memory."
SNAP! "Back up."
Another shocking realization had hit Kody. Instead of packing her bags and leaving, she was backed against the wall, Madison's sharp fingers deep inside her. Kody struggled against her grasp, making futile flails. "N-no, I'm leaving, Madison!" she shouted. "Let go of me!"
"My dear, you've said that twelve times in one night. Does this look like leaving me, Kody? Be honest." Madison was right. Kody was doing exactly the opposite of leaving. In fact, she was closer to Madison than she felt she'd been in months.
The script. The script. Kody desperately tried to remember it. "We're... not a good fit, um, I'm, I'm not happy in this relationship--"
"Dummy."
"Mmmf..." Kody hated that. She hated that word. She hated that Madison had so much control over her; not over her body and time and energy, but also over her mind. Her smarts. It had been this way for a while, but now it was more pronounced. "I'm... not... happy..."
Madison shook her head, and pushed her face closer to Kody's ear. "You're not happy? But you're gasping and moaning. Dripping. Shaking against my fingers. Dummy, dummy, dummy. Just wash all those thoughts down the drain. You're mine, forever. I'm not letting you go just because you said so."
Kody held on. Her thoughts felt like dust, but she grasped onto the last few particles. The last two words she could say were, "I'm leaving." Her voice was weak and tired, fed up with all this fighting. And yet, so horny and desperate all the same.
Madison sighed.
And released her fingers from Kody.
"I've had enough of your struggling," Madison growled in a low tone. "I didn't give you permission to leave. Let's get that idea out of your mind." Madison's hands gripped Kody's neck, her chin. "But I'm going to make it as slow and agonizing as possible."
"No!"
"Dummy. Dummy. *Dummy*." With every repetition of the word, sure enough, Kody felt the words drifting from her. Her body racked with grief and pain and pleasure as her resistance was ripped from her arms. From her mind. Kody's flails turned into shivers as Madison kept repeating "dummy" over and over. Madison gave Kody time in between each repetition. Dragging the process out longer than she needed to.
"You don't want to leave," Madison said. "In fact, you can't even think of leaving. That idea doesn't exist in your mind. Right?"
Kody gasped. She hesitated.
"Dummy."
The word was ripped from Kody's throat. "Y-yes." In her mind, there was still a bit of resistance left. A bit of fight.
Something Madison was determined to take away from her.
"You can't resist. You don't want to. In fact, every time you think of resisting, you just get hornier. More desperate. And, most vitally, you feel more obedient to me." Every word felt like gospel to Kody, like complete objective truth. "What do you want to do, Kody?"
"I... want... to be yours," Kody admitted.
"And?"
"I want... to obey you."
"Mhmm, keep going?"
"I-I want... to be fucked... by you..." Kody's voice was light and desperate.
"That's right," Madison cooed, lightly stroking Kody's cheek. "You're so stupid that you can't live without your beautiful, powerful Mistress. So much so that every time you think about being apart from your Mistress, you just get stupider, hornier, and more obedient."
Slowly, Madison's fingers slid back into Kody's cunt, eliciting an adorably weak squeal from her. Kody felt close, so close. Close from the idea of leaving turning into the idea of getting completely obliterated by her Mistress. "You feel it, don't you? Close. Near the edge."
"Y-yes," Kody gasped. She needed release. So badly.
"Then do one thing for your Mistress, would you?"
"M...hmm?" Kody asked in a whimper.
"Give me," Madison whispered, "your ability to orgasm."
Kody's eyes widened. Her pupils were dilated to the size of dinner plates. "My... ability...?"
"Yes, dear. See, you can't live or think without me. And without me, you can't cum either. You can feel something in you, a fire, a light. That's your willpower." Yes. Kody felt it. She couldn't figure out what it was, but she felt it. "I still need to do a bit more to snuff out that light. To extinguish it. And once it's gone, well... then you can get your ability to cum back."
Kody shook her head. Everything felt so wrong and so right at the same time--
SNAP! "Back up."
She emerged from water. Kody knew what was going on. Madison was deliberately fucking with her, trying to break the last of her wills left. Kody wanted to believe she wouldn't let it happen. But what more did she have? She didn't have her intelligence, her drive, her script, and now, she didn't have the knowledge of how to orgasm either. "You... you..."
"Yes? I'm so great, aren't I?"
Kody shook her head. She tearfully tried to get the words out of her throat - much to her chagrin, she couldn't. All she could think of was obedience and pleasure, her Mistress, no matter how hard she tried to divert her attention.
"You're stupid," Madison said softly. "You thought you were smart enough to live without my love and compassion. See, I love you so much, Kody, my plaything. Why would you want to live without me?"
Kody gasped. Slowly, she was being dragged under water again - she didn't even need the dummy trigger to anchor her down. "But... you did this to me..."
Those were probably the last words of resistance she was going to get.
"Exactly," Madison laughed. "I've ruined you. You can't live on your own anymore, stupid pet. You need your Mistress to love and care for you."
Kody had no more words left. She barely even had her mind left. Her entire being belonged to Madison, no matter how much she tried to deny that fact. She didn't want to deny it, anymore. She wanted to give herself entirely to Mistress. She wanted to cum, and the moment she would, would be the time she'd get that desire.
Madison leaned into Kody's ear, and whispered that word over and over again. So much that the words began to blend together. Kody felt her brain melting out of her ears. Her body couldn't withstand it - the intelligence draining, the fingering, the feeling of obedience overtaking her entire body. "M-Mistress..."
"Yes, dear?"
"I... I want... to cum..." Almost transparently, Kody felt like she wanted to say something else.
"Yes, you do. Then say something for me, would you?"
Kody nodded. She'd do anything.
Madison spoke something. A mantra. "I belong to my Mistress."
"I belong to my Mistress."
"I'm too stupid to live without my Mistress."
"I'm too stupid to live without my Mistress."
"My Mistress knows what is best for me."
"My Mistress knows what is best for me."
Madison snickered. "All together, dummy?"
The entire mantra was hard for Kody to recall in full, but it was her Mistress' command. So she did. "I belong to my Mistress. I'm too stupid to live without my Mistress. My Mistress knows what's best for me."
Madison smiled sweetly. "Kody, dear?"
"Y-yes, Mistress?" Even speaking was hard.
SNAP!
"Back up."
By the time Kody came back up, she expected to be able to resist or fight back or still try to leave. But no. She couldn't. All she could do was obey, belong to her Mistress. She was too stupid to do anything else. She couldn't even remember why she was sad in the first place. Why did she feel like she was crying?
"Who am I to you?" Madison asked.
"My Mistress," Kody croaked.
"And do you want to leave me?"
There was no hesitation left in Kody's voice. "No, Mistress. Never."
"Good." Madison clawed into Kody's shoulder as she kept her pinned against the wall. "You may cum."
Orgasm hit Kody like a pickup truck going at full speed. Her entire body shook, and her brain shut down, unable to think of anything but her Mistress and her orgasm. Kody gasped, her body melting. She felt right where she belonged. In her Mistress' arms. Her powerful Mistress Madison watching over her. Cumming what was left of her brains out. As she finished the last few seconds of her orgasm, she slid down the wall.
And just like the kind Mistress she was, Madison caught her. "There you go, plaything," she cooed. "All better now."
"Why... why was I sad, Mistress?" Kody asked. At least she could remember she *was* sad.
"Oh, no reason. You thought about being apart from me."
"Oh." Kody blinked. That didn't feel right. "I'm sorry, Mistress. I never want to be apart from you. I belong to my Mistress."
Madison ran a finger down Kody's cheek. "Then, Kody, dear? Would you do something for me?"
Kody nodded.
"Go back out to your friend out there, and invite her inside. Let's show her I'm not all bad, hm?"
Kody smiled. "That sounds like a great idea, Mistress."
