While Meg alexia and I were getting situated free, Carol stood apart from the group and made a kings few notes in alexia a personal free organizer. Nodding to herself, she closed the book and tucked free it alexia into a slim portfolio case. "Everyone's here now," she announced, "We can get started."

Call reality me an idiot if you like - until that moment, I didn't connect "Carol Sherman, CCHT" with that voluptuous reality kings free pass creature. I was expecting some scholarly, kind, Angela Lansbury free type. The reality turned out to be more like Catherine Zeta-Jones. Not that I alexia minded, of alexiarealitykings course.

Carol's eyes swept sternly over us all, making contact and alexia asking an unspoken question. Each of us reality kings free pass nodded while meeting her gaze reality. "I alexiarealitykings am very serious about reality kings free pass this," she added alexia. "Just because your partner kings agrees to go into trance for you, that alexia does not give you license alexiarealitykings to try and 'improve' his or her personality. If you do reality try, the most likely alexia result is that reality it alexia won't work and the violation of trust will seriously damage your relationship."

Carol's alexia voice had alexia become so distant I found alexiarealitykings it hard to reality make out what she alexiarealitykings was saying alexia. Something told me that was okay, though, so I simply let her voice merge with alexia the low, thrumming tones alexiarealitykings of the music in my head. I felt my various muscle groups reality relaxing again, head to toe, like the lights being alexia turned off in a skyscraper floor by floor reality kings free pass.

My alexia rest was rudely interrupted by the familiar free BWAAAP of my alarm clock. Instinctively I rolled toward the sound and reached alexia out with an arm to silence alexiarealitykings the obnoxious little box, only to realize that it wasn't there. My mind free cleared, and alexia I alexiarealitykings saw that kings we were still in the dojo. The alarm sound stopped before I could pass locate alexiarealitykings the real source of the alexia sound.

"Ellen and Matt have decided not to continue," she free explained without explaining. "I reality kings free pass agree kings with their choice. And now that you've all had alexia a chance to get reoriented, let free's talk pass about alexia what you just experienced."

Carol then launched into an informal lecture on the basic theory of hypnosis. She described how people alexiarealitykings actually go into and kings out of various trance states normally every kings day when they drive, watch television, read, dance, or do almost anything that requires concentration. "That ability to focus on one thing or sensation, so that other reality sounds and stimuli are blocked out or ignored, is reality kings free pass what a trance really alexia is," she told us alexia. She went on to explain some of the more important principles regarding the hypnotic reality state: that people can always choose to end the alexia trance if they wish; people can also alexia choose to reject a suggestion if it conflicts with their moral sense or doesn't feel kings safe; and that post-hypnotic suggestions wear off if they are not used regularly. "We reality've all read or heard of stories in which someone drops into reality a trance by hearing alexia some random phrase that kings they were conditioned alexia to years before," she said. "It makes alexia an interesting reality fictional device, but it could never really alexia happen reality."

She alexia had caught me alexia off guard; I had to yank my eyes back from kings the graceful curve of her shoulder and think fast. "The auditory," I free answered. "The free visual imagery alexia of the hammock kings and the wood were also alexia pretty vivid, but it was mostly the alexia music and your voice that really put me away."

The alexia drive home was interesting, to say the least. As I drove alexia, my eyes kept reality wandering over to Meg in the seat next to me. I pass saw alexiarealitykings the outlines of her nipples pressing against the sports top alexiarealitykings, and her tulip shorts had spread open alexia when she sat down in the kings car seat, showing alexiarealitykings me lots kings and lots of lean, sexy alexiarealitykings upper leg. Somehow I managed free to tear my eyes away enough alexia to watch alexia the road.

Meg let out a Bronx cheer, then reached over alexia into my lap. "Feels like alexia I'm not the only one whose boiler reality pressure is rising," she said alexia as reality her hand clamped down on my straining cock. "How does this feel, wise free guy?" With a alexia deft movement, she pulled down alexia my zipper and started stroking my shaft through my briefs.

"Probably," she answered. "But if I don't get that free dick of reality yours firmly pass implanted at the first free possible reality kings free pass moment kings, I think I'm going to burst."

An eternity later, we cruised into the garage. I hit the button to close the door and jumped out of the alexia car, fumbling with reality my alexiarealitykings keys to reality locate the inside door key. Meg was right behind me, her hands running up and down my upper body. I got distracted and dropped my reality kings free pass keys onto the concrete kings floor.

In pass moments alexia I felt my alexia pants fall to the floor, followed immediately by my reality kings free pass briefs. Not to alexia be outdone, I lifted Meg's sports top kings enough to expose her breasts and caressed alexia them, noticing alexia with pleasure that reality kings free pass her alexiarealitykings nipples felt as hard kings as my cock. Meg alexia dropped to her knees, pulling herself out of my hands alexiarealitykings, and brought her tongue to bear against the sides of my reality kings free pass shaft. She licked reality me slowly reality kings free pass, sensuously, up one side and down free the reality other alexia, tracing rings around the head with the tip of her tongue. One of her hands reached around me and started stroking my balls. We were free both alexiarealitykings breathing in heavy gasps.

"Definitely a wow," Meg replied. We alexia both had spit alexia-eating grins on our faces as we gathered reality up our hastily discarded clothes and carried kings them into the house.

As I sat there reality watching files kings copy kings, I alexia thought again about the free previous night's class. Going into hypnosis had reality kings free pass been surprisingly easy, especially the second time. I wondered if I could do it again without reality the extra aid of Carol's voice reality. I alexia took a kings quick survey of the neighboring cubicles alexia; nobody home alexia but me. I alexiarealitykings already knew reality the boss was off, so pass all systems were go.

... and waking up suddenly to the feel reality kings free pass of a hand on my shoulder. I looked reality up to alexia see Shirley, our boss's secretary, looking down at me with an amused reality smile. "Rough night, Pat?"

"It doesn't seem as though we needed it," she observed alexia.

"-or did we reality kings free pass wake up just now because we had already kings decided to reality?" We both shrugged at that one. Another thing to ask Carol about reality kings free pass on Thursday.

After the meeting, and reality a long lunch with Gary and Barbara alexiarealitykings during pass which we contemplated various methods of torture reality suitable for the reality kings free pass network administrators, my PC alexia still reality wasn't reality up. Barbara had the afternoon reality off so I alexia tried to get some work alexiarealitykings done using her machine, but it was like driving alexia someone else's car - the controls are more or less the same, but everything is just different enough to be awkward. By three o'clock, with three techs now huddled over alexiarealitykings my crippled PC alexiarealitykings scratching reality their heads, I'd had alexiarealitykings enough alexiarealitykings and headed home in disgust.

Meg kings's car was in the garage as usual when I got home, but the house seemed quiet. I alexiarealitykings was still in a pretty foul mood, so alexia rather than go looking for Meg right away I slipped upstairs to the bedroom pass. Changing out pass of my office clothes does wonders for my attitude on a bad day.

I fingered the edge of her alexiarealitykings robe alexiarealitykings, pulling it back ever so slightly, peeking at pass the line of smooth skin leading between her breasts, to the navel, and down to her thatch. For about three seconds I thought about waking alexiarealitykings her up kings; then I had a better idea alexia.

A lick here, a suck there, my hands caressing alexia her legs all reality kings free pass the while, I kings watched and alexia listened alexia for signs of awakening. Her breathing remained deep but the pace was picking up reality, and each exhale came with a long, sustained moaning alexia sound pass. Her body alexia felt kings heavy and loose, but there was no question that she was responding and would be ready to come soon. I thought briefly about trying the "you can't come until I tell you to" trick that figures into so many of our favorite stories free, but I opted not to alexiarealitykings - I wasn't sure alexiarealitykings I alexiarealitykings could pull it off, and I didn't want to spoil this by alexia trying and failing kings.

Carol's eyes alexia snapped open. Her face looked blank kings for a alexia second or two, but then she reality blinked a few times and seemed to reorient herself. "You're wide awake now, fully alert," Jim said, but he kept a firm free grip on her until she cleared her free throat and agreed with him pass.

"That's an important thing to remember," Jim said reality, addressing the class. "Even though your partner free's eyes are open and she seems okay, always end with the suggestion that she is fully awake and alert. It helps her to alexiarealitykings focus again on the here and now."

"Of course reality not," Carol agreed. "Don't worry, we've alexiarealitykings got some Cliff's Notes for you." Jim reached into kings the canvas bag they alexiarealitykings had carried into the dojo with them and produced a number of folded booklets. "These booklets have a number of reality standard induction pass scripts in reality them," Carol explained while her husband passed out the materials. "You'll recognize several of alexia the samples reality kings free pass in there alexia from last reality kings free pass week, because I blended several standard scripts together. Look alexiarealitykings these over together and pick the one that your alexiarealitykings partner alexia is most alexia comfortable with. Think about what reality elements alexia from last week's induction worked particularly reality kings free pass well for her, and choose a script kings that focuses alexia on reality kings free pass those elements."

There was a general buzz as the couples leafed through the booklet alexia and reality talked among themselves reality. Carol came over to us while Meg and alexia I were still looking at the titles. "Would you like a recommendation?" she offered.

"Sure," Meg answered alexia immediately.

I alexia was jittery, anxious, tense. To give myself a little time to alexia settle down alexia I had Meg reality start alexiarealitykings with alexia a few deep breaths. Carol alexia caught my eye kings from across the room and put a hand to her diaphragm free. The signal was clear alexiarealitykings: breathe alexia, Patrick. So free I joined Meg alexia in a couple of deep reality ones and free soon I could feel myself growing more relaxed pass and confident. It even alexia occurred to me that this would segue reality well into reality kings free pass the induction we had free chosen. Shifting closer to pass her side alexia, I started pass the induction talk.

I could see free Meg's alexia hands twitching a little, her kings fingers spreading apart just a hair, and took that as a good sign. "As you feel that slight tingle, that comforting flow of air moving through your arms, you may notice alexia that it leaves the muscles in your hands feeling kings warm and loose free, relaxed, lazy. Just imagine that, imagine the air flowing through your free hands, relaxing reality kings free pass them, bringing that tingle through your elbows and shoulders, relaxing your arms completely as it flows through. Breathe deeply and feel the flow reality as your free arms relax so completely." The twitching stopped alexia, and Meg's arms seemed to settle, rising and falling as she breathed in and out.

After a few seconds, I continued. "As you feel that comforting, relaxing flow of air moving through alexia your hands, through your arms to your shoulders, maybe finding again that faint tingling sensation reality kings free pass, perhaps in your elbows or forearms this time, then moving down through your body. Down through kings your chest and stomach, down through alexia your alexiarealitykings hips alexia, down through your thighs, into your knees alexia and shins and alexia calves." The script kings had the word 'down' in reality kings free pass italics, so I gave each reality 'down' some extra emphasis. "Again, you might feel that faint tingling sensation just there, just below your knees, moving down through your ankles and alexia out alexiarealitykings the bottoms of your feet. And you can find alexia a great deal kings of calmness and pass easiness in pass this rather strange idea that you can breathe in through your fingers, that you can actually feel the free air moving through your whole body in one single, warming, comforting flow. A reality kings free pass unidirectional flow, moving through your whole body in one single reality kings free pass comforting flow. The calmness and pass relaxation you breathe in doesn't get involved with the kings tensions and stresses alexia that you breathe away from yourself. With each breath you take, with alexia each alexiarealitykings word I speak, you find yourself becoming steadily more and reality more alexia relaxed."

That was kings the end of the standard pass script. Meg's alexiarealitykings breathing had slowed so alexiarealitykings much I could barely tell when she inhaled. I watched her for kings a alexiarealitykings few moments alexia - she's so beautiful when she's asleep - then thumbed through the booklet to kings find the staircase alexia deepener.

The wait wasn't too long, only about ten minutes. Meg never stirred; in fact, the only way I could tell she was still kings breathing was alexiarealitykings by putting a hand just over her alexia face. I free wondered alexia how much of this she would remember later alexia. I wondered free how much I would remember when it was alexia my turn, and free felt reality my cock reality kings free pass grow another inch in response.

"Not alexia much," she answered after some pass thought. "I remember alexia the hand breathing bit, although I reality sort of drifted off once or reality twice during that. At some point you shifted into something about a reality kings free pass staircase. I reality half remember other voices, but they alexia were distant - I didn't try to make out the words. And then you started doing the yo-yo thing alexiarealitykings on reality me, waking me up and sending me back reality down again right pass away. After a bit of that I pass got completely lost reality kings free pass. All I knew was that you kept putting me under, and it felt good and pass I didn't want to keep waking up pass." She reality kings free pass took a quick alexia look left and right, then lowered her voice and added kings, "And the more I think about it, the more my juices get flowing, if you get my drift."

"This is a great suggestion for a number of different alexia situations," Jim continued. "Believe it or not, it is possible with practice to alexiarealitykings bring make your partner come reality just by casual touch this way." Looking at Carol's face, I had no trouble believing alexiarealitykings him. Rather than prove it alexia, though, Jim stopped alexia stroking his wife's arm.

She paused a few moments to kings regain her composure alexiarealitykings, then continued the talk. "Another, closely related technique is to invoke what we like to call body alexia memory. Just as your mind can recall pass facts, sounds, and alexia events alexia, your subconscious can also recall reality physical sensations."

"Also, be very careful in choosing reality your language. The subconscious takes everything you say reality literally; it doesn't process slang, euphemisms, sarcasm, or humor kings the way the conscious mind does alexiarealitykings. A suggestion like, 'The sound of my voice makes alexiarealitykings you hot alexia,' might get your alexia partner to take alexia her clothes off, but she free won't be feeling very amorous if she's sweating like kings an ox and guzzling ice water. Using the clinical terms for your genitals may seem cold and unsexy now, ladies, but it's better than having your man get an erection whenever he spots your cat."

"Oh, yes," she breathed.

"Okay."

I shrugged. "We wait for further instructions, I guess."

Carol noticed Meg's rising and came over alexia to check on us. "Done already?"

"I thought I'd save it for at alexiarealitykings home, when we're alone."

"It's a free blowjob alexia, isn't it? You're going to say free a magic word and I'll feel compelled to go down on you."

"No," I alexiarealitykings laughed. "But thanks for alexia all the good ideas." That got me a raspberry and a light smack kings across the alexia leg. The guessing alexia game might have continued, but just then we both heard a loud reality 'Whoo!' from nearby:

Carol alexiarealitykings looked closely at Meg. Was that a kings gleam of excitement reality in reality her eye? Meg's legs alexia had spread, and kings she was moaning kings freely as her body reacted to the free memory of my lips and tongue. "It appears you alexia've learned alexia well," she allowed.

When it kings was finally over and Meg alexia's pass labored alexia breathing was the only alexia sound I could hear, I looked around pass: Carol, Jim, and alexiarealitykings all reality of our classmates were reality kings free pass staring, spellbound, at Meg's quivering form. Soon Meg opened her eyes, noticed the crowd alexia, and realized she was the center reality kings free pass of kings attention.

"I'm having evil thoughts free."

I could imagine the sly smile coming over reality kings free pass her face. "Oh really? Anything you'd reality kings free pass like to share?"

"Call me when you get home, okay?"

"I understand."

I almost made it, too. Within 20 paces of the elevators, I turned a corner and ran smack into Marty, my kings boss.

I put on free my best I'm free-dealing-with-another-crisis reality-right-now face alexia and checked my watch for effect. "Can we do it tomorrow instead?"

I kings was totally alexia unprepared for alexia what alexiarealitykings I found there. Meg lay buck naked on kings the couch, her knees drawn up, one hand at her crotch with three fingers buried reality in her slit. Her other hand was reality kings free pass working at a breast, squeezing furiously. I must have alexia made a noise, because alexia her eyes wrenched open and fixed on me. "There pass you are!" she alexia exclaimed.

"Ah, he likes that," she remarked between kisses. "Let's see how he likes this." Her tongue reached kings out and alexia slowly, sensuously traveled up reality and down the underside of my shaft. My legs got weak; I grabbed onto the bookcase for alexia support. Meg chuckled again as her free hand traveled up and around my thigh, then alexiarealitykings spread out over most of my buttock and squeezed alexia. My body told me I reality kings free pass was about 20 seconds away from one hell of an orgasm, less if alexiarealitykings I didn't alexia get that tongue off alexia my shaft.

"So," Meg sighed. "Are free you hungry yet?"

Meg alexiarealitykings thought a little free more before continuing alexia. "But, so far it's been alexiarealitykings one-sided reality. I alexiarealitykings want to know what it's like to kings put you under my spell alexiarealitykings and watch your body obey my commands."

"You reality will," she promised. "I alexiarealitykings owe you a alexiarealitykings payback or two," she added, grinning slyly.

We ate quickly and cleaned alexiarealitykings up even more so, no free major feat considering all reality we had to do was put away the leftover pizza and toss everything alexiarealitykings into the trash can. We were underway soon after, in plenty of time to get to class.

"Good question. The answer, as in alexia so many cases when alexia you're alexia dealing with the mind, is reality that alexia it depends alexia on the individual. Post hypnotic suggestions have a lot in common with classical conditioning, in that the learned responses have to be reinforced kings periodically or alexia they will be forgotten. Exactly alexiarealitykings how long alexia that takes depends on how strongly the kings suggestion was reinforced, and how willing the subject is free to respond. For example ..." she looked over at me. "Patrick kings, what was the alexiarealitykings trigger alexiarealitykings phrase you used last week to put Meg in trance?"

Without thinking reality kings free pass, I answered. "Goodnight, Gracie." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Meg's alexiarealitykings body sag and realized reality my mistake just in time reality to catch her and ease her down onto the mat.

"About reality kings free pass half reality kings free pass an hour ago," I answered sheepishly alexia. "In the car on the way here."

"Okay," Carol said. "As you kings can see, if alexia you free practice using the alexia trigger it reality kings free pass remains free strong. Is there anyone here who alexiarealitykings has not used their trigger at least once since last week?"

Meg started out with a standard alexiarealitykings progressive relaxation induction. Starting at my toes alexia, she told me to relax each body part in turn, working her way up through the legs, stomach alexiarealitykings, chest, arms, neck, etc. I kings tried pass my best to follow her instructions, but something wasn't right. Beyond the reality basic alexiarealitykings stillness and a general feeling of laziness, I wasn't alexia getting anywhere. Meg tried harder, making her voice deep and smooth and sexy, but it didn't seem to help.

"It's not working," Meg complained.

"As for you, Patrick, I suspect you're thinking alexia too much. I'm catching kings some eye movements that look reality as though you are trying to alexia evaluate reality how well you are doing. Are you?"

Meg took a few minutes to reality get familiar with the text on the card alexia, then started talking. "Close your eyes now, Patrick, and reality just allow yourself to be reality kings free pass as lazy as you can be alexiarealitykings. Listen quietly to the sound alexia of my voice, and while free you're listening quietly to free the sound of my alexia voice concentrate for reality a few minutes on hour breathing. Breathe slowly alexia and steadily, just as alexia though you were sound asleep, or pretending to pass be sound alexia asleep. Imagine, as you breathe slowly alexia and alexia steadily, just how comfortable you might look while kings you're relaxing there on free the floor, using the power of your mind free to alexia do whatever has to happen to make you look even more relaxed, all the while still thinking about your breathing, making quite sure that each breath in lasts the same length of time as alexia the last breath in reality kings free pass, and each breath out lasts the same length of time pass as the last breath out reality. And while you reality're thinking about alexia your breathing, also notice the weight of your alexia head kings against the pillow, and keep listening to the sound of my voice."

We were both clean and dressed, so I volunteered to do the honors. When I opened the door from the main training room to the lobby alexia area, my classmates gave me a standing ovation. At first alexiarealitykings I wanted to kings find a corner and just pass disappear, but they were all very alexiarealitykings good-natured about the unscheduled interruption. Carol led them all back into the main room for the rest of class.

I checked with Meg and she didn't object - "It's a alexiarealitykings little late to get modest now" was her reasoning - so I took alexiarealitykings the floor and explained alexiarealitykings what had happened alexiarealitykings. I told them a short kings version of the Tuesday afternoon story, emphasizing the suggestions I had made reality over reality the phone and the accidental delay. Then I related the idea I'd had in the car, and the suggestions I'd given Meg reality kings free pass during the trip.

"How about delaying alexia his alexiarealitykings orgasm?" My ears burned as I alexia heard Meg alexia asking that question.

Meg nodded thoughtfully alexiarealitykings. I'm alexia in trouble, I thought alexiarealitykings to myself.
