Chapter 29: Anticipation

Penny just couldn't believe how much work she had gotten done in the last day and a half. After almost an entire week of being distracted, she had found that ever since Mistress's last visit she was more focused than perhaps she had ever been. She had gone from being way behind and nervous that she would have to spend the whole weekend working to being ahead of schedule in just over 24 hours!

And she had to admit to herself that a lot of the reason for this change had to do with Mistress. After all, she had been frustrated and anxious before Mistress's latest visit, and Mistress had provided her with a kind of catharsis. She did tend to take on huge amounts of responsibility, and sometimes she had to be willing to let go. Perhaps Mistress was right – perhaps she did want to be hypnotized all along so that she could get that respite from all of the pressure. After all, she almost never allowed herself time to truly relax; to really let others take the reins and let her simply enjoy the ride. She needed the occasional chance to rejuvenate.

And Mistress had rejuvenated her like nothing else that she had ever experienced! The climaxes that she had felt yesterday seemed to purge her body and mind of worry and to allow an almost superhuman focus on her work. Penny now found herself eagerly awaiting Mistress's next visit not only for the pleasure that it would bring, but also for the new sense of control that Penny now felt as a result of her ability to temporarily relax.

Even as she thought these thoughts, though, something just didn't feel right about the whole situation. Despite her growing trust in Mistress, she still felt a nagging sensation in the back of her mind that her take on the situation wasn't completely accurate – and whatever this feeling was, it made her nervous.

Whatever it was, though, she didn't want to think about it now. Right now, she was wrapping up the final bits of work that she needed to do before heading home to a weekend that was now suddenly going to be free of work. And, in the back of her mind, she was hoping that Mistress would dominate her again. After all, she told herself, she had a big week ahead of her next week, so getting a chance to relax and rejuvenate would be good.

As it turned out, she didn't have long to wait. She was just sending out a few final e-mails when suddenly her door opened and she saw Mistress Catherine striding into her office carrying a large bag. Once again, she was unannounced. Penny knew that this meant that Sandy had probably yielded to Mistress's dominance, but Penny was too excited to think about that right now. She was still concerned for Sandy, but all that Penny could think of right now was how good it would feel to submit to hypnosis and float in peaceful, orgasmic bliss.

Before that could happen, though, Penny knew that she would have to obey Mistress's commands. Mistress would only hypnotize her when she was ready to do so, and until then, Penny had gathered that the best thing to do was to try to please the dominant woman. For this reason, Penny immediately obeyed when Mistress commanded, "Stand up."

Penny rose from the chair and stood with her eyes downcast as Mistress moved around the desk and claimed Penny's chair for her own.

"Undress, but leave your heels on."

Penny's eyes nervously glanced at the open window that she stood before. She knew it was unlikely that anyone could see her through the glare on the building, but still, she felt completely exposed taking her clothes off in front of the glass. Nevertheless, she didn't hesitate to obey. Moments later, Penny was wearing only her heels.

She felt as if the entire city were staring at her naked body – a body that was beginning to show discernable signs of arousal. Her nipples were starting to harden, and her sex had begun to get wet.

"Kneel." Penny dropped onto her knees before Mistress and crossed her arms behind her back.

"Look at me."

Penny stared up at her Mistress, looking directly into her eyes. She wanted so badly to lose herself in those eyes; to experience the freedom and relaxation – and pleasure – that came with hypnosis. She knew those eyes had the power to place her into trance ... they were so dark ... and inviting ... and hypnotic...

A series of snaps in front of her face broke Penny out of the spell. Mistress looked annoyed as she said, "Not yet you little hypnoslut. You will go into trance when I am ready – don't try to hypnotize yourself unless I command it, do you understand?"

"Yes, Mistress." Penny felt chastened, and a bit disappointed. Even the brief and light trance that she had just experienced had filled her with an erotic and euphoric feeling that she was hungry to feel again.

Instead, she cast her eyes down again and awaited her Mistress's next command.

"Open your mouth."

Penny obeyed and, soon after, felt her own panties being shoved between her lips. Mistress was careful to get every bit of the panty into her mouth before commanding her again: "Close your mouth all the way. Good girl. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't think that there was anything in that pretty little mouth of yours."

Penny didn't know how to react to that comment, so she simply continued to kneel before her Mistress with her eyes cast to the floor. As she did so, Mistress began stroking her hair. Her Mistress's touch sent erotic electricity throughout Penny's body, starting at her head and working its way down until it seemed to swirl all around her now completely wet sex. Penny felt as if Mistress's hand was petting her, showing her how submissive she had become. Mistress was relaxing her, but also possessing her, and Penny was yielding – and becoming aroused. That slight feeling of anxiety began to creep over her again, but it was effectively muted by the erotic energy that was now coursing through her entire body. Before long she was moaning into the panties that were acting as a gag.

"Stand." Mistress's simple command caught Penny off guard, but she hurried to comply.

Mistress then reached into the large bag that she had been carrying earlier and withdrew a set of handcuffs.

"Turn around," Mistress commanded, and Penny obeyed, turning so that her back was to Mistress.

Penny felt Mistress's strong hands drawing her hands behind her before locking the handcuffs onto each wrist. Then, she heard a rustling sound as Mistress seemed to be removing more items from the bag.

"Bend over."

Penny found it slightly difficult to balance with her arms trapped behind her back, but she did her best to bend forward, thrusting her bottom towards her Mistress. She heard a strange sound behind her, as though Mistress were using some sort of soap dispenser. She quickly realized what it was, though, when she felt her Mistress's fingers begin to trace around her sex and asshole – Mistress had just coated her fingers in lube!
