Safety ritual

Your are the evening's entertainment, but there's something to do before the party really gets going.

They paced around your chair, smiling, both at you, and at the onlookers. The party was about to begin. “Ladies, Gentlemen, Enbies, everyone, please give us a second. Our toy for the evening is going to go through their final checks, and then, we can begin!”

Their voice quelled the soft chatter, and now the rest of the guests were looking at you, wordless. Waiting. But you didn’t see the crowd. You only had eyes for your hypnotist, who had stepped closer to you. “Okay, sweetie. I’m going to secure you now. Do you feel ready?”

You nodded, smiling. They were so worried. You knew you could handle this. “I’m fine, I promise. Just, make sure the safeties are in place, and let’s get this started, yeah?” You sounded so sure, so cocky. Hopefully before long you’d sound helpless and needy.

They smiled back at you. “You sassy little thing. I know you only do this so that you can feel it get drained out of you. Right. Look into my eyes. That’s it. Focus on my eyes, and sink. That’s it. Dropping away from the present moment. You can come back in a second.”

You felt their hands on your right wrist. Were your eyes open? Were they closed? You could still see their eyes, even if it was just in your mind’s eye, so it didn’t matter. “As I secure this wrist, tell me, what words means the scene must end?”

“Red.” Your voice was soft.

“Good toy.” The cuff was secured. “Now, as I move onto your other wrist, what word means the scene needs pausing, or adjusting?”

“Yellow.” The words were imprinted on your memory. This ritual was one you had done many times.

“Excellent!” The next cuff was fastened.

You felt their hands at your legs, pulling them apart, leaving you exposed. If you had been aware, you might have noticed a change in current of the crowd. “Now, as I secure this leg, which word means that the scene is fine to proceed?”

“Green.”

The third cuff was in place. The third word was fresh in your mind. All your safeties and now… “And you know that you can use these at any time in the scenes. No matter how far your mind has gone, they will work, and you will know them, and when to use them, won’t you?”

“Y-yes.” You loved this final cuff. Feeling like a weighted blanked was wrapped around your mind. Safe, secure. Ready for the evening’s fun.

“Then wake up, toy. That’s it. Good job.” They turned to the crowd. “Okay, they are ready! Who wants to go first?”
