Petals
You open your front door and find a lovely bouquet of flowers, full of your favorites. You were so excited to bring them inside that you didn't really get a good look at the strange, new flowers hidden in the center. But as you position it in a vase, you notice its soft, pink petals glistening in the room's light. You step closer, and see the center almost twinkle, and briefly shine in your eyes. Before you could get a chance to understand, you get a call from your Master. Instinctively, you put them on speaker as you await their words.
"I'm so glad you like the flowers I got you," they said.
"They are really pretty," you said. "Thank you so much."
"Did you see the special ones in the middle?"
"Yeah...but I don't know if I'd call them special."
"But didn't you notice how its pink petals caught the light? Making them shimmer ever so slightly?"
"Y..yeah," you said softly, your eyes turning directly towards them.
"I picked it especially for you Pet." Hearing your Name made you softly moan. "Because it's going to help me have fun with you."
"What..what do you mean?" you asked, trying to not feel dreamy.
"Put on your camera and I'll tell you," they gently commanded and you wordlessly comply. "Pick up the flower." As you pulled it out, its petals seem to glisten and sparkle even more. You stand before your phone, your mind beginning to feel just the softest edges of trance. "Look deeply into it. Notice how its yellow center is so bright but calming, like a gentle sunbeam?"
"Yes," you said, getting lost in its influence.
"It has an alluring center because it's the most hypnotic flower in the world. Keep staring darling, I know you want to feel its full power." Time seemed to stand still as the flower consumed your entire mind. You were so utterly relaxed, but too conditioned to fall without Master's command. After a while, Master asks how you feel, and all you can say is, "Gooood."
They softly chuckle as their eyes absorb every single part of you. "Wonderful. Now, we're going to have even more fun. I want you to take off a petal. Any one of them will do, just pluck it off." Your hand slowly reaches the closest one you see. "When each petal drops, your mind will follow. There is no 'they love me, they love me not'. Tonight, it's only 'going deeper and deeper than I've ever gone'. And I know you're going to love it." A small grin appeared on your face and just as instantly disappears as you pull the first petal and feel your head get heavy. "It's alright dear, you're doing fine. Trust me it's going to feel even better the next time. Now, do it again."
Each petal that you pluck takes you so much deeper, pulls you even further. You keep going, not even sure why, or who was keeping track. While everything around you gets blurry and hazy, the beautiful flower gets brighter. Even though it was almost gone, it held your will in an iron grip. Your eyes can barely stop rolling as you hold it, its last petal standing proudly. There is nothing in your head but sublime obedience, holding onto that flower was the last thing keeping you from falling completely. You stand there, completely entranced, completely fractionated when the door opens. You can't move, but you know it's your Master.
You feel them approach you as their hand appears on the last petal. "You did so, so well today slave," they say, softly kissing your cheek. "Now there's just one thing left to do. Once I pull this away, you will fall"
"I will fall" you muttered.
"You will descend into the fullest depths of my control. And you will relish it."
"D..de...descend..." Their soft chuckle fills your empty thoughts as their hand begins to pull the petal. Before you know it, the entire flower is gone, and you completely relax into their embrace.
