Private, upscale parties serving as mixers for the rich and wealthy always guarded fairly well, especially at public venues like a Ritz Carlton. Entry was strictly on a referral basis, with a pre-determined list. Dazzling Lady showed up to the gathering, greeted by two burly guards who looked somehow more conspicuous than the secret service. She was given a genuine referral, but it didn't keep her from introducing herself to them with shock inductions as their unofficial boss. In under two minutes, both men, stood happily there, waiting to assist the hypnotist however she needed if a need arose. 

Taking a very lucrative job last minute, working with little intel, Dazzling liked to make sure she could have every advantage on her side if needed. She would've asked Ursula to accompany her, but her apprentice was unreachable when offered; it didn't bother her much, as Ursula might've persuaded her to not take the job anyway, and Dazzling didn't feel inclined to refuse this one. Part of the inclination was due to the subject at hand, a lovely little thing in a black maxi dress that drew all eyes at the bar she sat at. After surveying most of the room from a background position, Dazzling stole all the looks as she walked confidently over to the younger beauty in the black dress, gasping as a stunning woman with a predatory smile in a green silk gown strolled up to sit next to her without an invitation.

"I'm sure no one else important is sitting here but me," Dazzling greeted with a luscious smile. "And even if someone were, I think at this very moment you would never want them to return as that would mean that I have to leave, and you don't want me to leave. You don't want this moment to end. You would like only to go deeper into this moment, to look at all the parts of me that part your thoughts like those sexy little lips are parting now, as if waiting for a kiss. I think we'll get to that soon, soon after we go a little deeper, into this moment."

She closed the distance a little bit to her own insistent aura charge the other woman's sex drive.

"I'm Dazzling. What's your name?" the hypnotist whispered, letting her breath dance along spellbound lips.

"Mmmmmaxine" she moaned out a little.

The dossier for the target didn't specify what sexual orientation Maxine was; Dazzling honestly hoped Maxine was heterosexual, as it stroked her ego to bend the mind and sexual urges of another woman she took a fancy to.

"It's nice to meet you, Mmmmmaxine," she moaned the hypnotized woman's name deliciously, offering her a hand to shake. Slowly reaching up to take it, but unable to look away, Dazzling smirked as she took the hand aimlessly searching for hers. The warmth of Dazzling's grip made her gasp a little. 

"Mmhmmm, feel that warmth, Maxine, that smoothness. Let it wash over you as this moment in time continues to take you deeper; words smoothing your thoughts over, making you want more of exactly what you're getting, making you want exactly whatever I will give you." Dazzling took Maxine's hand and set it on her lap, letting her touch and stroke this silky material of the green dress.

"Keep rubbing that material, over and over. The more you do it, the more it will feel like your slick, silken pussy, stroking you deeper into this moment. And as you do this, I want you to whisper a phrase to yourself in your own mind, repeatedly. You will hear my voice repeating it to you as you do it, and it will also take you deeper into this liquifying moment.

A Dazzling Lady has me swayed, a Dazzling Lady must be obeyed. Repeat it now, over and over."

Maxine's lips moved slightly as if to try to speak the words, but her mental muscles took over as she stroked the material of her own dress in her lap, hearing Dazzling's words entrance her.

"A Dazzling Lady has me swayed,
A Dazzling Lady must be obeyed."

Maxine never realized that Dazzling had stepped away; she never noticed how Dazzling's eyes occasionally darted up and around them. If she were able to, she would've noticed all the mirrored surfaces around the bar, how they gave someone with acute awareness of their surroundings.

Maxine never expected it like the unseen man at the other end of the bar never expected the green-clad beauty to sneak up behind him.

"I know a honeypot when I see one, you know. Someone so sweet and tantalizing that you know you're going to go after exactly what you want. It's not that different from the onset of an addiction like alcohol, where every breath you take and ever swallow your body automatically takes dreams, thinks, desires it to be due to that irresistible beverage that all of your body and bliss-addled mind craves. It just doesn't matter what you want, how dangerous it is, how it affects your life after, you just need it now, and nothing else matters when you're getting your fill, filled with my voice reminding you of what an addiction means to you as you swallow my words and let them intoxicate you."

Dazzling never let the unassuming man carefully watching her and Maxine from a distance get a word or thought in edgewise, assaulting him more aggressively than Maxine or the guards before him to make sure he was off balance, falling to the disposition she dragged his mind into.

"How fitting that Dazzling Green Fairy is here to remind you of your favorite drink, Absinthe. Everyone has an acquired taste and the taste of absinthe just acquired you. The flavor is like the sound of my voice, drowning out everything else and taking over your senses. It burns down your throat, and gets hotter as it hits the pit of you, and only gets hotter below the waist. Your head and loins are burning with the taste of Absinthe in you, poured into you and swallowed whole to feed your addiction. You're so intoxicated, so addled with influence, so Absinthe-minded because everything else is absent with Absinthe on your mind. Absinthe is a special brew made only by me, the Dazzling Green Fairy, and you'll only get it if I hear exactly what I want to hear in the next few moments. So you're just going to repeat the following words in your head:

A Dazzling Lady has me swayed, a Dazzling Lady must be obeyed. And as you repeat this over and over, you will not realize your mouth speaking words based on questions I ask it, but you will speak honestly, candidly, and without hesitation. You will do this now!"

Dazzling snapped her fingers, and held the man who needed physical assistance to stay seated and upright, highly inebriated from Dazzling's induction.

As she suspected, the man was a mercenary named Bernard; like her, Maxine was his focus as well. Bernard was obviously one of the cheap ones with how easy he was to pick him out, and pick him off. 

The more he talked, the more her other suspicions turned out to be more valid than she'd expected; Maxine was a honeypot set specifically by Bernard to get at Dazzling. The hypnotist sneered at the man as she realized there most likely was no lucrative payday to make this worth her while. As she glanced over at Maxine still figuratively stroking herself in public view, she figured permanent enslavement would serve as good compensation for a waste of her time.

Dazzling wondered momentarily if she was even told she was part of a hypnotist's trap; it didn't bring any sense of mercy to her, considering whether Maxine would ever reach the orgasm she was constantly edging on.

Bernard, unable to stop being forthcoming, gave up his employer, and the information almost made her fall out of her chair. She had to resist the urge to slap him hard for what he'd said; not that he didn't deserve it, but she didn't want to draw that kind of attention. Yet.

"You may stop speaking now, Bernard. It is time now to listen, and obey..."

***

Bernard woke up to find himself much closer to the center of the bar, closer to where his hired model sat to keep Dazzling occupied. As his senses cleared, he found himself in-between both women, separated by an open bar stool on each side. There were several empty shot glasses in-front of him, and his body suddenly felt very intoxicated. 

He glanced over at Maxine, who looked lost, lips mouthing words still dancing in the back of his head.

"A Dazzling Lady has me swayed,
A Dazzling Lady must be obeyed."

Glancing in the other direction, he was greeted by Dazzling, evil smile, as the hypnotist held up a freshly-made shot of Absinthe, freshly-lit with a flame atop it. He almost smiled from arousal at the Green Fairy, as her lips pursed to blow, blowing the flame out on the drink. 

Bernard gasped loudly as that heat hit him, feeling like his mind was lit on-fire, along with his hair and scalp. Panic set in him as he screamed in agony, running across the room, bumping into everyone, looking for the airspeed from his running to put the fire out. Everyone stared and screamed as he ran out to and over the balcony, falling the high height before impact.

Dazzling smirked to herself until she heard what sounded like water. Surprised, she followed the crowd out to the balcony where Bernard landed in the hotel pool below.

"You lucky son of a bitch," she muttered to herself.

She went to the party, and gestured for Maxine to follow.

They ended up in a room on the same floor nearby, something pre-arranged by Dazzling.

"Not the way I expected to get rid of him, but Maxine will wash that disappointment away for a while," she spoke to herself as Maxine began licking Dazzling hard under the green dress.

"I wonder if attempted murder satiated me for dealing with you, Mistress Alexis," Dazzling said as she began plotting how to deal with what felt like stark betrayal.

"We'll fucking see," Dazzling clenched as Maxine got drunk off of the Green Fairy's flowing juices.
