Jim quickly grabbed Jessica's arm to steady her. He snatched her forgotten hat and placed it on her head, then reached for her bag.
Jessica laughed and slipped her sunglasses out from underneath the hat to put them on. Then she took Jim's arm and they walked out onto the boardwalk.
As they walked along talking, Jessica couldn't help laughing joyfully. For the first time in a long time, Jessica felt almost overwhelmed with joy.
Jessica found that Jim had one of those deliciously wry senses of humor; his powerful bicep bulged and relaxed, tensed and gave in to her probing fingers as she slid them up beneath the sleeve of his polo.
Jessica smiled, threw one arm around Jim's neck and looked into Jim's eyes; his eyes, his beautiful sparkling green eyes laughed every time he modestly made a joke at his own expense.
Yes... Jim was perfect! Jessica's plan was now all but complete... the sun was so warm... The beach was a gay whirl of color..., sounds..., smells... laughter... and excitement. Things were going along perfectly!
The next thing that Jessica knew, she was lying on a couch in a strange room with a ceiling fan. There was the sound of running water, like in a kitchen sink from somewhere behind the couch.
Jessica foggily wondered what had happened... She groggily felt under the sheet that covered her and found that her bikini bottom and her bikini top were still in place under what felt like a man's dress shirt. Her wrap was gone, so was her pendant. Her sunglasses and her hat were sitting neatly on another couch.
Jessica lay still for a moment and tried to remember what had happened, but she couldn't. She did feel happy... a little dizzy... and hungry, but for the first time in a long time, she felt peaceful and very happy.
The room looked neat, and well lit. It was done in plain colors with venetian blinds and plain white curtains on the two windows. There was a love seat, a recliner chair and an area rug on the floor. There was also a decent sized television mounted to one wall and a coffee table.
On the coffee table was what looked like a birdbath that had been filled in with dirt. In the middle of the birdbath-planter was a statue of the Venus de Milo. Planted all around the statue of the 'goddess of love' were odd looking little green plants.
Jessica thought that she could smell coffee and something like toast... She decided to sit up. Jessica felt dizzy for a moment. She looked around carefully and saw her sandals and her bag on the floor at side of a love seat.
She looked at the shirt, and found that it was a man's dress shirt... all buttoned up with the sleeves rolled up to her wrists. Jessica turned farther around and saw Jim washing dishes with a dish towel tucked into his belt.
Jim looked over and stopped the water then started drying his hands, "Hey, there you are! You had me worried for a while."
"Where am I?"
Jim picked up a tray and walked over to set it down on the coffee table in front of Jessica. "Well, good news, bad news... We're at my house, I made some coffee and crab salad sandwiches..." Jim knelt down and brushed back a stray lock of Jessica's hair.
"...What's the bad news?"
"I make the worst coffee you've ever tasted!" Jim picked up a half sandwich and let Jessica take a bite.
"...So how do you take your coffee?"
Jessica thought a bit as she tasted the sandwich, 'Not a bad sandwich at all!'
"Um, black coffee for now... Where's your lunch?"
"An excellent choice!" Jim poured a cup of coffee for Jessica, "I ate while you were sleeping it off."
Jessica pointed, "I like your center piece... it's different."
"Yes, I call it 'The Venus Flytrap.' A fly lands on one of those little green leaves looking for something sweet... the trap shuts and sucks the unsuspecting little bastard dry!
Not very original I know, but I was drunk one night and couldn't resist... It seemed like the perfect commentary on love and life that only a case of beer would make absolutely hilarious. I set it up the next day.
Sometimes I sit and wonder if it's worth it for the fly that manages to avoid getting trapped."
"Why would you care about the fly that manages to get away?"
"Well I don't I suppose, it's just that normally it's supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. You know... a little food in return for the fly's services? Both are really just trying to do what they do, I know..., but it's an all or nothing gamble for the fly. I was just wondering if it was worth it for the ones that get away."
"Jim, I think that you might be spending a little too much time thinking about it."
"Jessica, you're probably right.
Um..., I think the little weasel might have put something into your drink this morning..."
Jessica seemed shocked, "Really? No, I can't believe that about Van; he seemed so... harmless! No, it has to be that I hadn't eaten... Yes! That must be it!
You see Jim? Some people just shouldn't drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach... Besides, I um..."
Jim fed Jessica another bite of sandwich, "Yes I heard all about it on the way over here, you hypnotized him and sent him to sell cars and dance with all of the nice people at the Pink Pony. You were very proud of yourself for the way that you got rid of that idiot...
It's been over four hours and I haven't heard anything from him so far..."
Jessica didn't want to deny it directly, so she just acted as innocently as possible, "I hypnotized him? Jim, do you see how silly this whole thing sounds? See how I can be when I'm drunk?" Jessica took a guilty sip from her coffee.
Jim immediately changed gears, "Jessica, I want to apologize. I shouldn't have assumed that about you. Now that I'm at it, I should also apologize for presuming that it was all right to just bring you back here...
We're only about four blocks from the Green Parrot... you were able to walk all the way, but I certainly wasn't going to leave you wandering around like that... I didn't know where else to bring you."
"Why would you need to apologize for caring enough to watch over me?"
Jim fed Jessica another bite of her sandwich, "Well you just seemed drunk. Not dangerously drunk... I see that often enough in my line of work. I thought that you just needed to sleep.
I didn't want to go looking through your bag to see if you had a hotel key and then just leave you there alone.
I decided that... Well, I assumed that it would be all right if brought you back here so that I could keep an eye on you.
I should probably confess to you that my judgment may have been a little influenced by how much I was enjoying being with you... and let me say that I find you to be quite an eye-full.
Also I can't say that I didn't enjoy holding you in my arms and wrestling you into one of my shirts...
I enjoyed the way that you smile...
I enjoyed watching you sleep...
Oh, did anybody ever tell you that you're a very affectionate drunk? I enjoyed that quite a bit too."
Jessica smiled as she saw small lipstick smudges on Jim's neck and his ear, "I usually don't give just anybody the opportunity to find that out Jim."
Jim smiled and offered another bite of the sandwich.
Jessica batted her eyes and pouted prettily.
Jim fed Jessica another bite of the sandwich. Then she took a sip of her coffee.
Jessica leaned in and kissed Jim tenderly. "Thank you Jim. Now, I should apologize to you. I was out looking for some disposable guy this morning. I wanted to make my old boyfriend jealous and then just dump the new guy after my old boyfriend saw that he couldn't live without me.
If the two of you had gotten into a fight and you had beaten the snot out of him, I wouldn't have minded that in the least... But still, I would have just picked you up and used you...
I see now that I would have been wrong. You are obviously a man who deserves better from a woman."
Jim fed Jessica another bite of her sandwich then she took another sip of her coffee.
"Jim, you've been lying to me. This coffee is wonderful... and so is the sandwich! You should be more careful, a girl could get used to this."
Jim smiled, "I could get used to you too Jessica."
Jessica immediately began smile wickedly and wiggled her fingers in front of Jim's face, "Well you have done it now Jim. I'm going to have to punish you for lying to me about the coffee. I think that I'll just have to keep you all for myself and make you into my own personal love slave!"
Jim smiled "Well, if you are sure that it's the only way..., I'm sure that I'll be all right with it... It doesn't sound like much of a punishment though."
Jessica took another sip of her coffee, "It may take some time to find the right punishment for you; you aren't as easy to figure out as your friend Van was... he was such a jerk!"
Jessica smiled and kissed Jim again, "I like a man who can challenge me Jim, are you that man?"
Jessica smiled again and traced the lines of Jim's powerful pectoral muscles with one of her fingers.
Jessica saw that Jim was hesitating. She smiled apologetically then stood up, "You know Jim... I'm beginning to question your qualifications to be my love slave! I think that I'm..."
Jim stood up quickly, took Jessica into his arms and just about lifted her up off of the floor. He looked longingly into her eyes then nuzzled her nose before kissing her.
Jessica wrapped her arms around Jim's neck and really got into the kiss. She felt Jim lick her lips and then admitted his tongue... they teased and caressed each other's tongues for a long time. Jessica broke the kiss, nuzzled Jim's nose and sighed contentedly.
Jim gently caressed Jessica's face with one hand and kissed Jessica again, long and deep. By the time that Jim began to ease up, she felt weak in the knees again, deliciously dizzy and out of breath.
Jessica concluded, "Okay then, this interview is over. You have got yourself a job... you can start right now...
Oh, but I must be keeping you from your weekend plans... Certainly you didn't come here this weekend just to become 'Mistress Jessica's' love slave..."
"Well I do have two small chores that I need to finish. I'll need to run down to the store to get some garbage bags and clean out some old clothes... then I need to pick up a trailer load of lumber. I'm restoring the upstairs sundeck. I'll be gone for just about a half an hour?"
Jessica smiled reassuringly, "I'll finish my lunch and be here when you get back."
Jim smiled, "After that, I have my entire two week vacation open and I will be very eager and ready to begin my training, 'Mistress Jessica.'"
Jim took Jessica into his arms once again held her tight then he kissed her.
Jessica felt a sudden flush of warmth and a slight ache in her heart, "You'd better go Jim before I decide that I'm not letting you out of my sight... ever!"
Jim smiled and nodded, he felt the same way. Jim resolved that he had to finish cleaning out his house before he got any farther with this amazing woman. He reassured Jessica that he would be right back. Jim proposed that after he finished the first of his chores today, they could go out and have dinner and maybe a starlight stroll on the beach.
Jessica agreed and saw Jim out the door. She returned to finish her sandwich and her coffee.
After a few minutes Jessica heard the front door opening. She turned around and looked at the clock above the kitchen sink and saw that only a few minutes had past, she reasoned that it couldn't be Jim... She quickly found her crystal pendant and put it on, then sat back down on the couch to wait.
A moment or two later, Jessica stood up while Van and another man came into the room, Van looked confused and tired. He was sweating and both he and his friend seemed to be a bit drunk.
Jessica smiled a wicked smile, "Jackass!"
Van immediately slumped, closed his eyes and went into a deep trance. Then Van simply stood waiting for Jessica to speak.
Jessica walked over, holding her crystal pendant by the chain and let it swing slowly right next to her smiling face.
"So Jackass..., aren't you going to introduce me to you new friend?"
Van breathed, "Fred..."
"I am so pleased to meet you Fred. My, you boys both look so relaxed!
Van you should show Fred how you like to relax!"
Van immediately got down on his knees and unzipped the drunken Fred's leather pants. Then Van pulled Fred's pants and jockstrap down.
Fred looked unsteadily from Van back up to Jessica's smiling face and felt Van take his soft dick into his mouth.
Jessica glanced quickly from Fred's face to her sparkling pendant and then back to Fred, "Count with me Fred... you wouldn't believe how it turns Van on! I want for you to really enjoy this... and maybe even relax a little... as Van sucks your... big fat juicy cock... count with me Fred... Ten..."
Fred hazily thought this was a little silly by the decided to go along with it anyway. "Ten..."
"That's right Fred... Just relax and feel... feel Van's mouth... so hot and wet... around your nice... big... juicy... cock... Nine..."
Fred took a deep breath and watched the pretty crystal pendant, "It's real nice... lady..."
"You love how relaxing it feels to have Van suck your cock, don't you Fred...? Nine..."
"Yeah... it feels really good... good and... relaxing... nine..."
"That's right Fred, relax now and feel how hot and wet Van's mouth feels around your big juicy cock... you love how Van tickles your cock with his tongue, you find it to be very relaxing, don't you Fred... Eight..."
Soon Jessica had Fred completely under her spell. After she let Fred cum in Van's mouth she told Fred to go sit on one of kitchen chairs and think about relaxing things.
Then Jessica turned her full attention back to Van, "So Jackass, did you go to the Pink Pony?"
"Yes..."
"Did you dance with a lot of nice people and talk to them?"
"Yes..."
"Tell me Jackass, did you relax with any other nice people?"
Van hesitated.
"Tell me Jackass and don't make me ask you again!"
"Yes"
"How many times did you relax with your new friends, Jackass?"
Van hesitated but finally answered, "Three..."
"Very good Jackass... you are going to have to tell me all about that later! Now what about Fred? Who is he?"
"Motorcycle salesman..."
"Oh Van, you are making me so proud of you! Now tell me, did you spike that drink that you brought me this morning?"
"Yes..."
"Hmmm, I suppose that I should be grateful to you, you little Jackass... Go and collect all of the drug that you used to spike my drink."
Jessica quickly found her spare motel room key in her bag and when he returned, she gave it to Van. Then she took the two little eyedropper bottles from him.
"Now tell me Jackass, what is in these bottles?"
"Valium... dissolved in Vodka..."
Jessica felt slightly alarmed, "How much do you give to a woman that you are trying to seduce Jackass?"
"Two drops... to calm her down..."
"And how much did you give to me, Jackass?"
Van hesitated, "Two squirts... maybe twenty... or forty drops..."
Jessica took a deep cleansing breath to calm herself down. She considered for a moment that things could have been much worse.
"Now tell me Jackass and this is very important..., did Jim know that you were putting this drug into my drink?"
"No... he would have tried... to stop me..."
Jessica felt an unexpected wave of relief, "How many women have you used it on besides me?"
"You are the first..."
Jessica continued to bask in the feeling of relief, it almost bordered onto gratitude. She felt relieved that Jim might have tried to stop Van from drugging and raping her. But then, Jessica knew that this was the real world, things like this happen all the time!
Jessica snapped herself out of the wonderful warm feeling and returned to the job at hand, "How do you know the proper dosages for the effects that you want Jackass?"
"I worked it out... experimented... on myself..."
Jessica's eyes narrowed and she had to use all of her will to keep from strangling the little weasel right where he stood. But then she felt a sudden flash of warmth for Jim who had called Van that very same thing just a little while ago.
Jessica slipped the two bottles into her bag. "All right Jackass, you will tell me the dosages and the effects for the drug that you have worked out so far."
Van did as he was told.
"You have been very bad Van! You will never ever do anything like this again, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes..."
"I am going to have to punish you for your own good. Now, what I am going to do to you might not seem like a punishment because I also want to help you Van. I'm going to teach you how to relax even more and then how to have some real fun.
Van, you have an itch deep inside your rectum, you can't scratch it... it's just too deep. I can tell you how to have some of your new friends scratch that nasty little itch Van... Would you like that?"
Van began to act a bit uncomfortable, like he had an itch... "Yes..."
"Good boy Van! Now I want for you to go get a panties, a bra and a dress from Jim's girlfriend's clothes and make sure that you pick out something sexy and remember to get some sandals. Remember to bring plenty of your business cards; you are going to get the chance to sell a lot of cars!"
Van went to pick out an outfit while Jessica called Fred back and reinforced his hypnotic trance. She gave him some additional commands for coming out of the trance and going back into a trance whenever she said.
Soon Van returned with some sandals, a skimpy pair of panties, a lacy bra and a nice floral sundress. Jessica saw that it would be close, but it would fit.
"Good Van, we are going to have such a lot of fun! Alright Van, you and Fred will both go to my motel room. The address and the room number are on the key. You will share a shower with Fred immediately after you arrive, you will shave your face and then have Fred shave off all of your body hair. Then you will put on your panties and your bra.
Leave the dress that you picked out for yourself on the bed. You will both wait kneeling in my motel room at the foot of the bed. You won't move a muscle until I get there. Is that clear?"
"Yes..."
"Yes..."
"Oh Van this is going to be such a lot of fun! Now I want you to go and do everything that I told you. Van... Jackpot! Fred... Jackpot!"
Van and Fred both woke up and left for the motel.
Jessica made a reservation for dinner, finished her lunch, found her wrap, her hat and got ready to leave.
Jim got back just in time to kiss Jessica.
Jessica held on tight and sighed, "Oh Jim, I really could get used to this..."
"You wouldn't believe how I've missed you Jessica..."
Jessica caught her breath and pushed gently away, "Thanks for lunch Jim. You probably want a little privacy while you get to your housekeeping. I need to go and get ready for tonight... I have a date with a wonderful new guy.
I already made dinner reservations for seven o'clock. Call me when you're ready, I left my number on the coffee table."
Jim smiled appreciatively, "Would you like for me to dress like I expect to charm the most wonderful woman that I've ever met, or like I expect to get into a scuffle?"
Jessica winked seductively from the front door, "I'd go with the first choice. I've changed my plans... you've made me see that Aaron is so, not worth it!"
Jim watched the door close and picked up his shopping bag. He walked into the kitchen. Then he noticed Van's wallet and keys on the kitchen counter.
After a quick walk back to the motel, Jessica floated back down to earth and took charge of Van and Fred. She walked them through their relaxation exercises and put them both into deeper trances as they knelt on the floor before her.
"So, my little Jackasses... I see that you have tried to follow my instructions. Very good, I am very proud of you Vanna. Stand up let me get a good look at what we have to work with."
