"his ears are really sensitive," time said, talking about jim as if he wasn't right next to them.

"i have noticed that, particularly when i get close while hypnotizing him," adrianus responded.

"oh yeah, just the breath gets him," they said. "but it really gets him if you lick them, have you ever tried that?"

"i haven't."

"i bet he'd really lose it if he had both ears licked at the same time."

they were already on either side of him. time was holding his arm.

"you're trembling," adrianus murmured, holding his other arm. "just relax and hold still, jim."

the tension dissipated unnaturally quickly, as his body obeyed. the chills continued to run down his spine, but he didn't move.

"see? just talking about it gets him like this," time teased. "he's overwhelmed just thinking about it."

"he does seem quite excited."

they could have just asked him what he thought, how he felt. but he didn't speak up. it was difficult, when they were both people who had hypnotized him so much.

well, and it wasn't like they were wrong, either. they knew him well enough that they didn't need to ask him to begin with. but it was still an odd feeling to be talked about like that. it naturally pushed him into a more passive and submissive headspace than he might be in with just one of them.

"you can make it hypnotic, too," time continued. "even if you didn't say anything, he'd probably interpret it as hypnotic, anyway. but it's even better if you tell him. isn't it, jim?"

"it- it is," he said quietly. he normally would have argued with them, but the situation was getting to him. he felt compelled to listen already.

it was true that he would have interpreted it as hypnotic regardless. he was already in a trance.

"well, that does sound convincing," adrianus replied, getting closer. "maybe we will have to try it..."

it was something that he wanted to happen, but he still felt sort of helpless, feeling them both approach his ears, feeling the anticipation, and feeling the way his body wasn't even twitching. he would have been shuddering, if adrianus hadn't told him to hold still earlier.

he hadn't always been this sensitive. he hadn't always been this obedient.

the first lick still caught him off guard, time slowly running their tongue along the outside of his ear without any warning. he shuddered uncontrollably, breaking the stillness.

"oh, that was a nice shudder," adrianus cooed. "you're so sensitive..."

the tingling in his spine didn't stop. it radiated through his back. his face was warm.

another tongue, on the other side, adrianus' tongue. their lick was even slower, gentler, lighter, but that didn't make it any less intense. he couldn't stop himself from squirming and trembling, but they were still holding him, meaning he couldn't move too much.

"that's right, jim," they said softly, breathily, right into his ear. "it's alright for you to twitch and shudder right now... because with every lick... more of your tension will be licked away... melting... the tension in your body... the tension in your mind... all of it... slowly melting away..."

their words made the next lick from time feel even more sensitive, the intense feeling pouring through him, pouring through his muscles, loosening them up just a little bit.

it was absurd. it was absurd how sensual and erotic this was. even though his body pulsed with arousal, he didn't have any desire for anything but this. he didn't need them to do anything else, to touch anything else. this was already too much.

"look at that," time said. "you felt him relax, didn't you?"

"i did," adrianus replied. "i wonder how much more you're going to relax... when i just..."

their tongue pressed against his ear, closer to the inside, slowly, gently rubbing it, in sort of a massaging motion.

the idea that they were massaging his ear with their tongue... something about it was potent. he sighed, almost moaning, as he lost a bit more energy, a bit more strength.

"that's right," they whispered. "just like that..."

"we should start doing it at the same time," time said. "i think we only need to stop every now and then to slip in some more suggestions."

"that makes sense," adrianus replied. "that does sound good, doesn't it, jim?"

"it does," he muttered, even though he knew that response was like opening the floodgates. as much as he enjoyed it, as much as he wanted it, he knew it was going to be unimaginably overwhelming, especially as he gradually lost the ability to even twitch or move.

but his mind and body lit up with pure pleasure as he felt both of their tongues, and sometimes lips, licking and sucking and kissing, rubbing and massaging, only occasionally being interrupted by soft, breathy whispers in his ears telling him to relax and give in, to go deeper, or telling them how good he was doing, how relaxed he already was.

his mind was melting into a puddle, his body becoming more limp than he thought possible, only held up by both of their arms. the pleasure and bliss was completely inescapable. the only thing he could do was succumb to it.
