SANDMAN sucking and caressing them freely listening

NOTICE:

This is a story about obsession; a journey into the dark

side of fantasy hypnotic mind control. As such, some of the

basic rules that usually guide my writing get twisted, bent,

or broken on this one. The title character is cut from the

same cloth as Suzerain in "Pleasure Cruise -- Exchange".

Don't say I didn't warn you.



SANDMAN

(c) Copyright 2000 by Wiseguy



Her beauty captured my soul.

I just stood there, precious time ticking away, and watched

her sleep. I'd seen sleeping women before -- many, many

times before -- but when I first saw Gabrielle's face in

the dim light of my penlight, everything stopped for a long

moment while I studied her face, so serene in sleep.

The moment seemed to last for hours, but was probably only

a few seconds. Then her face twitched -- the penlight was

rousing her. I held the little pump spray bottle close to

her mouth and pressed the button once, letting a light

spritz of the contents coat the lower half of her face.

Her eyes opened at the slight hiss of the pump and the feel

of the cool liquid on her face. The beam of the penlight

filled her eyes -- beautiful, bottomless brown eyes -- and

she gasped in surprise, which was exactly what I needed her

to do. Along with air she drew in a hefty dose of the drug

I'd sprayed on her face, a fast-acting relaxant used in

some hospitals for calming highly nervous patients long

enough to administer a conventional sedative. For the

second or two it took for her lungs to send the initial

dose through the bloodstream to her brain, she looked up at

me like a frightened child. I had a cotton cloth spritzed

with the same solution in my right hand, ready to stifle a

scream, but it wasn't necessary. She took a second breath,

then a third, and her eyes lost their focus as the drug

took effect. It would only last for a few minutes, but

that was more than enough time for my purpose.

"Relax, Gabrielle," I whispered, laying the cloth aside.

"You are safe, safe in your own bed. You are having a

strange dream is all." While I spoke to her, my right hand

dug in my side pocket and pulled out the crystal on its

simple black cord and suspended it in front of my victim's

face, twirling and spinning it, aiming the penlight at its

center to enhance the prismatic properties of the crystal.

"A strange, sleepy, relaxing dream," I continued. "You are

dreaming that you are being hypnotized by a mysterious,

attractive stranger. You see the crystal before you,

drawing your eyes to its center, the colored lights

reflecting in all directions, relaxing you more and more as

you gaze into its depths. Your eyes are captivated by it.

They can't look away; they don't want to look away; all

they want to do is stare deeper and deeper into the center

of the crystal, the eyelids getting heavier and heavier as

you relax ... "

Between the dissociative effects of the drug, her half-

asleep state to begin with, and my own consummate skill as

a stage hypnotist, she had no chance. Her eyes glazed over

and closed on my command. And once again, I had the

opportunity to relax a little myself and drink in the

beauty of her sleeping form. Reluctantly, I dragged myself

away from her bedside and got back to business.

Tonight that business was the age-old art of stealth

burglary. Out of habit, I took a quick look around the

bedroom. Aside from the high-rise luxury condominium

itself, Gabrielle lived modestly for a high-profile tv news

reporter, which she was. The closet was full of practical,

all-business-all-the-time clothing; the items in her cherry

jewelry box were of good quality, but not valuable enough

to be worth the effort of taking them; the bank envelope

taped to the underside of a dresser drawer held only a few

hundred dollars in cash, her passport, and some leftover

traveler's checks.

But those weren't my reason for invading Gabrielle's condo.

In the beginning, when bookings for my stage hypnosis act

were few, far between, and low paying, I had supplemented

my income with this sort of petty thievery; nowadays, I

deal in a much more lucrative commodity.

Creeping into the second bedroom, I found my true

objective: Gabrielle's computer. It was a Mac Powerbook

G3, very nice, with all the options. I turned it on and

waited for the system to boot.

The first thing it did was prompt me for a power-on

password. My respect for Gabrielle went up -- almost any

decent laptop provides this simple security feature, but

few people are wise enough to use it. If I'd merely taken

the laptop with me, it would be worthless -- the hardware

may be nice, but the true value of a computer lies in the

data it holds. Fortunately, my methods are much more

subtle and effective.

"Gabrielle," I called softly as I returned to her side.

"You are still in a deep, hypnotic sleep. I want you to

imagine for me that you have awakened, and that you want to

update your notes for the story on Platt Pharmaceuticals

you've been working on. What do you do?"

Her mouth opened slowly. "I get up," she said thickly,

"and go to my computer. I turn it on and type in my

password."

"Listen to me, Gabrielle," I whispered. "That password is

very important, you know. If you've made it too easy to

guess, someone could come in and read your notes. I hope

you made your password a nice, difficult one that is hard

to guess."

"Yes, I did," she mumbled. "Very hard to guess."

"But at the same time," I continued, "you must be able to

remember it yourself. It's important for you to show me

that you remember it. Can you remember your password,

Gabrielle?"

"Of course," she said. "It's WILDFLOWER782. I can always

remember that."

"That's very good, Gabrielle. I'm very proud of you for

choosing such a wise password. Do you also use a password

on individual files, so nobody can read them but you?"

"No," she admitted with a sigh. "I used to, but Edgar

always gets annoyed when he can't remember the password for

a file I've given him, so I stopped."

"That's okay, Gabrielle," I assured her, enjoying the smile

that came over her at my words. "I'm sure your files will

be quite safe with that good, strong password protecting

the computer. Make sure you keep that password,

Gabrielle."

"Okay."

I told her to just relax, picture the crystal in her mind,

and just watch it spinning until I called her name again,

ignoring any sounds or movements around her, then went back

to the Powerbook. I typed in her password; the computer

finished booting and gave me access to her desktop. It

didn't take long to find the files my clients were

interested in -- judging by her filing system, Gabrielle

had a neat and orderly mind. I'll bet even her brain cells

are beautiful, I thought to myself.

Within 20 minutes I'd hooked up a portable Superdisk to the

machine and copied all of the files that looked useful or

salable. I spent a few more minutes returning the machine

to its original state. Now it was time to restore

Gabrielle to hers.

As I approached the bed one more time, I was again struck

by how beautiful she was. Unable to resist the urge to see

more, I peeled back the blankets. I was disappointed --

she looked as though she had a splendid body, but it was

covered from neck to mid calf in unglamorous blue and white

striped flannel. A practical nature is a fine thing in a

woman, but this was taking it too far.

"Gabrielle, my sweet," I said softly. "Soon your

wonderful, hypnotic dream will be over and you will return

to normal sleep. When you wake in the morning, you will

feel completely refreshed and content, and will remember

nothing about this dream at all. It's not important to

remember the dream, because none of it really happened. If

anything seems odd or out of place in the morning, it's

okay to just ignore it and act as though everything is the

way you expect. Also, you will find that you no longer

wish to confine yourself to wearing practical, businesslike

clothing all the time. You love the feel of fine fabrics

against your skin, fabrics like satin and lace and silk.

The texture of these fine fabrics makes you feel

wonderfully alive and sexy and confident.

"And now, Gabrielle, I will count to three. On the count

of three, your mental image of the crystal will fade away

and you will return to normal, restful sleep. Nothing will

disturb that sleep until it is time for you to wake up in

the morning. One ... two ... three. Sweet dreams,

Gabrielle."

Her body shifted ever so slightly as she slipped from

trance into normal sleep. I felt a strong impulse to bend

over and kiss her, but my common sense held me back.

Instead I crept quietly out the door and down the empty

stairs, undetected as always.



Professionally speaking, my encounter with Gabrielle was

highly profitable. Not only did I collect the agreed-upon

fee from my pharmaceutical client for identifying the

anonymous sources who had been leaking embarrassing

information to Gabrielle, but some of the other files I

copied contained information of great value and utility to

the campaign manager of an embattled member of Congress,

who paid handsomely for the "motivational speech" I gave to

him using the files' contents.

In the days to follow, however, when I thought back to that

evening, it wasn't the impressive financial gain that came

to mind. It was Gabrielle herself: the tranquility in her

face, the depth of her brown eyes, the way her black hair

flowed naturally around her, the sharp mind that showed in

the way she organized her life. I found myself turning

more often to the tv for news, especially Gabrielle's

station. Seeing her on the tube was nothing new -- she

was well-known locally, probably headed for network in

another year or two -- but now that I'd seen her in person,

she seemed more real to me than ever before.

Gabrielle occupied my thoughts so much that, when my

contact at the pharmaceutical company came back to me with

a follow-up request, I broke one of the cardinal rules of

my nocturnal business: never hit the same mark twice.

And so it was that about six days after my first visit to

Gabrielle's condo, I found myself once again looking down

at her quiet, sleeping face. My spray bottle and crystal

at the ready, I played my light across her face again. She

woke with the same start, inhaling the relaxant, falling

back against the pillows as I wove my spell around her mind

once again.

Something was different this time. Once I had her well

under, imagining my crystal spinning before her, I was able

to take a closer look and notice that her shoulders and

arms were bare, save for a pair of thin, shimmering straps.

I lifted the covers and beheld the results of my earlier

suggestion: Gabrielle was now wearing a peach-colored silk

chemise which flowed smoothly over her skin. Now that's

more like it, I thought admiringly. Her bare legs looked

so inviting that I lifted the silk slightly to peek

underneath and note the cotton panties. I also noted that

her nipples were erect, telegraphing their shape through

the gown. Slowly, gently, I caressed one through the silk

with my gloved hand. When Gabrielle moaned softly in

response, my cock responded. How I would have loved to

slide it inside her ...

But no -- this was still a business call, and a risky

enough one at that without leaving semen samples behind. I

took a deep breath and imagined tying a tourniquet around

the base of my cock until it slowly settled down again.

Self-hypnosis is a very useful tool at times like that.

"Gabrielle," I said softly, "how do you feel?"

"Mmmmm," she replied sleepily. "Dreamy ... sexy ... warm

and tingly in my boobs."

"How do you feel about Platt Pharmaceuticals?"

A frown clouded her face. "They're evil and greedy. They

made Tranquin so expensive to buy that the people who need

it most can't afford it, just so they can make fat profits

from the insurance companies."

You're probably right, I told her silently, then got to the

purpose of my visit. "Gabrielle, you've been given wrong

information about Platt. Platt spent millions and millions

of dollars to develop Tranquin so that people would have an

effective antidepressant that doesn't harm their sex drive,

but the FDA kept demanding more and more trials before they

would agree to approve it. Platt would love to lower the

price, but they can't until they cover the cost of all

those extra unnecessary trials. So you see, Gabrielle,

it's really the bureaucrats at the FDA who are responsible

for the high cost of Tranquin. Somebody should investigate

that story, don't you think?"

"Yes ... investigate ... "

"And then there's the insurance companies, especially the

HMO's. They have millions of patients who could benefit

from using Tranquin, but they refuse to make it easy for

doctors to prescribe it. Instead, they insist on trying to

make people pick from their list of cheap, less effective

drugs. That means there are fewer Tranquin customers,

which is causing the price to stay high. Somebody should

tell the people about that, too, shouldn't they?"

"Yes ... tell the people ... "

"Gabrielle, I know you're an intelligent and fair-minded

reporter, much too smart to be fooled by those people at

the FDA and the insurance industry. They want you to

believe that Platt is an evil, greedy company looking to

gouge people who need Tranquin. The truth is, Platt is a

generous company just trying to recover their costs so they

can stay in business. Whenever you think about Platt

Pharmaceuticals, Gabrielle, I want you to remember how

dreamy and sexy and happy you feel when I do this."

I let my hand touch her breast again, gently sliding the

silk over its surface, teasing the nipple, bringing a low

moan from her lips.

"Every time you think about Platt Pharmaceuticals, you will

experience that same wonderful feeling, and you will know

that they are truly on the side of the people. Do you

understand, Gabrielle?"

"Yes ..."

"Very good, honey," I told her. She smiled a sleepy, happy

smile. "And now, it's almost time to go back to your

regular sleep. I'm going to count to three, and on three

you will come out of trance and go back into deep,

refreshing, natural sleep. Nothing will disturb you until

it is time to get up in the morning. But from now on,

Gabrielle, any time you hear my voice say the word

'Sandman', a wonderful, warm, heavy feeling will come over

you and you will immediately slide back into a deep,

lovely, obedient, hypnotic trance even deeper than the one

you are in right now. Will you do that for me?"

"Yes ... Sandman ... "

"That's good. One ... two ... three."

Why did you do that? I asked myself, referring to the

induction trigger. You're not coming back here again. My

common sense told me I'd better not -- twice was risky,

coming back a third time would be foolhardy.



Of course, my suggestions worked. Gabrielle continued to

pursue the Tranquin story with all the vigor that had won

her the respect of viewers and other reporters; however,

her angle of attack changed dramatically. Instead of

cornering Platt officials and asking hard questions, she

took her cameras into the offices of the FDA and several

major insurance companies, demanding that they justify the

practices which had contributed to the high cost of this

terribly important new drug. My contact told me Platt was

extremely pleased, and I received a hefty bonus in addition

to my usual "consulting" fee.

And best of all, every time Gabrielle mentioned the name

'Platt Pharmaceuticals' on the air, her hand would steal

over and touch her left breast for just a moment. I spent

hours watching the news, taping her segments and rerunning

them so I could admire the results of my work.

The next few days I spent in West Virginia, doing my

hypnosis act at a minor comedy club outside of Charlestown.

Ten years as a stage hypnotist, and I was still only

getting bookings in crummy little dives that nobody

interesting ever goes to. I'm a damned good hypnotist --

you can ask Gabrielle if you don't believe me -- but I

guess not much of a showman. Truth to tell, I'd probably

try harder if I really needed the money.

The first thing I did when I got home was turn on the tv to

see what Gabrielle was up to. I knew the Platt story had

fallen by the wayside; Gabrielle's change of angle had

apparently confused her peers enough that the feeding

frenzy broke up, relegating the story to the back pages of

the print media. From reading her computer files, I knew

she had a story on Medicaid fraud that was ready to go and

fully expected to see it early in the newscast.

When the second commercial break came with no sign of

Gabrielle, I was irked. Halfway through the final segment,

when Gabrielle finally came on to deliver a puff piece

about some retired janitor who'd won the lottery, I was so

dumbfounded I barely noticed the lace-trimmed blouse that

she was wearing underneath her black blazer. Since when

does a reporter of Gabrielle's stature end up interviewing

lottery winners? Something had to be wrong.

I had to call in a favor, but a few days later I had the

name and home address of the station's executive director

in charge of the news division. It was a neighborhood I

knew well from previous excursions, a nice quiet suburban

conclave full of big houses with tall fences. His two

children, it turned out, were away at college, so I had

only the director and his wife to deal with. A quick spray

from my handy little pump bottle and they were both very

easy to manage.

"Listen very carefully, Howard," I told the director, my

crystal holding him completely in its thrall. "I am the

owner of the station, and it's very important that we talk

about what you're doing with Gabrielle Walker. Why has she

been getting less air time lately, and doing such

unimportant stories?"

"She screwed up on the Tranquin story," he said groggily.

"Got people at the FDA all pissed off and the insurance

companies threatening to sue us. And somehow Platt found

out who her sources were and they dried up. I decided she

should lay low for a while, earn her way back to the top

spot."

My blood boiled. This pompous, ignorant prick wouldn't

know a good reporter from an Amway salesman, and here he

was passing judgment on my Gabrielle.

"You've got it wrong, Howard," I scolded him. "Gabrielle

Walker is the best reporter you've ever seen. She's

tenacious, insightful, independent ... everything a

reporter should be. In fact, with her talent, she

shouldn't be chasing stories at all -- she belongs behind

the anchor desk. The sooner you get her there, the better

off my station will be. Viewers love and respect

Gabrielle; if you continue to mistreat her, she will leave

and you will lose your audience, which means losing your

job. You don't want that, do you?"

"No, sir."

"Good, then we agree. Gabrielle is to be put back on her

normal assignment, starting with that hard-hitting Medicaid

fraud story she's been working on. And starting now,

you're going to see to it that she gets every opportunity

to take over as anchor. Oren Stevenson has been there too

long; the station needs some fresh blood, someone the

viewers can relate to and admire ... someone like

Gabrielle."

"Yes ... of course ... "



There was an extra fire in Gabrielle's eyes the next

evening as she delivered the first part of her Medicaid

fraud story at the top of the hour. If her businesslike

dress plunged a little lower in the front than usual,

showing a hint of white lace around the shadow of her

cleavage, I'm sure it didn't hurt the ratings any.

I told myself it was foolhardy, stupid, reckless, totally

against all common sense and self-preservation, but that

night I nonetheless found myself back in Gabrielle's

bedroom, standing over her sleeping form.

She was in another silk chemise tonight, a pale blue one

with white lace trim at the bust and the hem. Gently,

slowly, I put my hand over her breast and caressed her

through the silk. She stirred, smiling, then opened her

eyes with a start and a gasp.

"It's all right, Gabrielle," I reassured her. "It's me,

Sandman." At the sound of her trigger word, Gabrielle's

eyes dropped shut and her entire body relaxed with a deep,

satisfied sigh. Not quite her entire body, I noticed --

her nipples became firm and erect, pushing up against the

silk as the rest of her sunk deeper into the bed. I

caressed both nipples for a few minutes, talking her deeper

into trance, until she was moaning steadily and the scent

of her arousal began to tingle in my nose.

I lifted the bottom of the chemise and saw that she had new

underwear, an off-white mesh thong that failed miserably at

hiding her curly black thatch. The cotton insert was

thoroughly soaked and reeking of her juices.

"Gabrielle, my sweet," I said. "Your secret lover is here.

Already you've felt the pleasure of my touch, arousing you,

making you feel so wonderful. You love the feel of my

hands on your body. My touch, the touch of your lover,

never fails to arouse you. In fact, you have become so

aroused at my lover's touch that your sex is dripping with

the desire to receive me. Your body knows that great

pleasure is only moments away." Coaxing her to lift her

butt a little, I pulled down the thong panties to expose

her glistening center. "Go ahead, Gabrielle ... feel how

very wet you are, how very ready you are to receive me.

Touch yourself in all of your favorite places, each touch

making you more aroused and more anxious to receive me

inside you."

I watched, my cock threatening to burst through my black

slacks, as Gabrielle's fingers probed her own private area,

circling her nub and spreading the slick fluid all around.

Her moans grew louder and more impassioned the longer she

went.

Don't do that! my common sense screamed as I peeled the

glove off my right hand. I was in the grip of a more

powerful force than common sense, however: gently, firmly,

I removed Gabrielle's hand from her center and replaced it

with my own.

"I am about to enter you now, Gabrielle," I told her.

"When I do, it will give you the most intense sexual

pleasure you have ever felt. I will count to five, and at

the count of five your body will experience the strongest,

longest, most satisfying orgasm you have ever had. You

will continue to orgasm until I tell you to sleep; then you

will fade into a normal, natural sleep that will not be

interrupted by anything until it is time for you to awaken

in the morning."

With that, I plunged my first two fingers deeply into her

vagina, putting gentle pressure on the slight bulge in the

top wall where I knew she would feel it most intensely.

She shuddered and gasped, then went back to an ever-

increasing rate of moaning and panting. I teased her nub

with my thumb while stroking the inside of her with my

fingers, and I could feel her body struggling to hold off

orgasm until it received the command. I counted to five

slowly, relishing the uncontrollable passion in her face

and her body, and let her come until it seemed she could

stand no more.

"Sleep, Gabrielle," I told her. "Sleep now, and awaken in

the morning feeling better than you ever have before."

Before leaving, I took another short look around. The

array of practical cotton underwear I'd found on my first

visit was gone; a wide variety of soft, shimmering things

had taken their place. These were much nicer, much more

fitting for my Gabrielle. So were the various silk, satin,

and lace slips, camisoles and blouses that I found hanging

in the closet, the older broadcloth things relegated to a

back corner. I approved.



My Gabrielle's Medicaid fraud piece more than made up for

any damage done to her reputation as a reporter. She made

her debut at the anchor desk the following week, marking

the beginning of a sweeps period. She looked absolutely

radiant behind the desk, her soft, sexy voice giving the

news a whole new level of compelling interest. I watched

every minute of it with her thong panties from our latest

encounter -- I didn't remember tucking them into my pocket,

but they'd been there when I got home -- clenched in my

hand. The scent of her juices in them was faint but still

detectable.

The next morning, I thumbed anxiously through the Style

section of the morning paper; my Gabrielle must be

mentioned in there, I reasoned. Sure enough, she was --

but not, as I was expecting, in the tv column. Instead, I

saw her name in bold type in the 'Reliable Source' gossip

column:

Local news reporter Gabrielle Walker

finished her first night at the anchor desk,

where she is filling in for vacationing Oren

Stevenson all this week, by painting the

town. Sources say her chosen escort was

fellow newshound Tom Matthews, fueling

speculation that the pair may be

collaborating outside of work.

Obviously, this would not stand. I thought briefly about

paying a call on Mr. Matthews, but abandoned the idea -- if

I warned him off, there would be many others willing to

take his place. No, this was a problem that needed to be

attacked at the source.

It had only been a few days since my last visit with my

Gabrielle, but I couldn't afford to wait any longer. I

crept into her room that night, roused her with my

penlight, and said the word that sent her into blissful

trance.

"We need to talk, Gabrielle," I said after deepening her

hypnotic state. "Tell me about your relationship with Tom

Matthews."

"He's a guy at work," she said slowly. "We've dated a

couple of times lately. He wants more, but I'm not sure I

do."

"Of course he wants more ... all men want you, my

Gabrielle, but only one is worthy. Tom Matthews is a

walking Ken doll, a pretty face with no substance. He is

not worthy to lick your shoes, my darling. Indeed, none of

the men you see in the waking world are right for you.

None of them can give you the pleasure that I give you, my

Gabrielle. I, your secret lover, am the only man who can

please your body and your mind. You must love me, and only

me. Do you understand?"

"Yes ... only you ... "

"That's right, Gabrielle, only me. Other men will desire

you, many of them will try to woo you, but you must remain

faithful to me at all times. You may socialize with these

men, but you must not become involved with anyone other

than me. If someone else presses you for dates, for

attention, you will invent excuses that will not betray our

secret love."

Slipping off my glove, I lifted the covers and reached

inside her nightgown. My fingers slid up her thigh and

found nothing but warm, soft fur and moist skin -- she was

wearing nothing under the silken sheath. She purred

sensuously as I caressed her mound, slowly spreading the

increasing moisture around and parting her nether lips.

"You love the feel of my hands on your body, Gabrielle. My

touch arouses you more than any other touch; my voice

arouses you more than any other sound; my kisses arouse you

more than any other man could ever hope to. Feel the raw

pleasure of my touch, and my kisses, and my voice, and let

them bring you to a deep, intense, satisfying climax ...

and as you submerge yourself in the sexual joys that I can

bring you, realize that no other man can give you this kind

of pleasure. No other man can make you come. "

I probed her slit with my thumb and fingers for a while,

listening to the sounds of her ascending passion as I

touched all of her favorite spots. When she was dripping

wet and nearly out of her mind, I spread her legs apart,

peeled the black hood off my face, and dove in for the

kill.

She climaxed almost immediately. I let her enjoy it,

kissing her inner thighs gently while she writhed on the

bed until the pace slowed, then sank back in and traced

circles around her clitoris with my tongue. Her legs

clamped down on me and she climaxed again. I let her ride

it out, and then at the very end I stimulated her one more

time and sent her over the edge yet again. My face was

coated in her delicious juices when I finally let up. I

reminded her again that no other man could make her feel

this way, and sent her off to sleep.



I managed to hold out almost a week before going back to

see my Gabrielle again. I was struck immediately by how

content she looked, and noticed that she was now sleeping

between satin sheets. Her eyes opened when I touched her

through the satin, but there was no gasp and no look of

fear in her face. Instead, she gazed intently into my

eyes, the only part of my face visible through the black

hood I wore, and waited.

"It's Sandman," I said, and enjoyed watching her eyes fall

closed and her body slide deeper into the sheets. I peeled

away the top sheet and drew in a sharp breath myself: my

Gabrielle was naked.

I sat there on the edge of the bed for untold time,

studying her body as it lay ready for our mutual pleasure.

Her nipples were already standing up in anticipation, and

the familiar musky scent I'd come to love was already

rising from her center. The sight of her breasts, felt so

often but now seen for the first time, was too much to

ignore -- choking off the scream of protest that rose from

the back of my brain, I removed the black hood I normally

wore and nuzzled my face between her breasts. There was a

strong scent of perfume on her chest which filled my head

and overrode almost all of my remaining reason. I spent a

long, happy time suckling at my Gabrielle's breasts,

kissing and sucking and caressing them freely, listening to

her impassioned moans and losing myself in them.

My cock ached to be inside her, but my embattled sense of

caution managed to win that skirmish; instead, with the

flush of her excitement covering her skin from throat to

crotch, I settled down between her legs and adored her.

Her body responded to my loving attentions in a most

satisfying way, climaxing again and again as her thighs

squeezed around my head. Partway through I realized I was

coming as well, pumping large amounts of my own seed into

my pants. There was a large damp stain around my zipper

when I got up, but I was lucky -- none had soaked through

to the sheet.

I'd given myself quite a scare -- I'd come close to leaving

a dangerous piece of physical evidence behind, something

I'd never done before. My Gabrielle would never betray me,

of course, but I hadn't escaped suspicion for all these

years by leaving evidence in my wake. I would have to be

more careful.



The ratings for my Gabrielle's newscasts were excellent --

a good 10 percent above the station's normal share for the

6pm and 11pm slots. The station didn't hesitate to issue a

press release trumpeting the numbers, fueling speculation

that they may offer her a permanent spot as co-anchor. The

papers picked up on the story, and it became a minor

scandal when an "anonymous source" inside the station

speculated that my Gabrielle's sudden success may be less a

function of her journalistic talents than of her ability to

wear peek-a-boo lace with a business jacket. Probably Oren

Stevenson, I thought to myself. That sanctimonious prick.

It had only been a few days since my last visit, but I felt

that a celebration was in order.

This time, when I crept into my Gabrielle's condo, I had a

picnic basket with me. Quietly, letting the anticipation

build in my loins, I set out the contents of the basket on

the dining table: a magnum of champagne, chilled and

swathed in a cloth napkin, and two flutes. The vinyl

tablecloth I laid out on the living room floor for a

different purpose.

I made my way to the bedroom to see my love. Without

waiting, I peeled back the satin sheets and beheld her

stunning, naked body. She stirred at my first touch and

met my gaze just before I sent her off to sleep. I sat on

the edge of the bed with her, lovingly stroking her breast

with a gloved hand, until I heard a sharp metallic click.

"Take your hand off her, you pervert."

Calm and relaxed, I told myself as I turned my head slowly.

I could just make out the speaker in the dim moonlight from

the windows: a tall, gangly, redheaded woman with anger in

her eyes. The open closet door behind her told me where

she'd been hiding; the way her hands held the gleaming 9mm

Beretta, cocked and ready to fire, told me she was skilled

in its use. My best chance was to put the intruder off

balance, so I turned back to my Gabrielle again as if

nothing out of place was happening.

"I said stop that!"

I counted a quick three in my head as I continued fondling

my Gabrielle's breast. "She likes it," I said quietly,

keeping my head very still. "See how her body responds to

my touch?" To prove my point, I gave the breast a good

squeeze, rolling the nipple between my fingers, and my

Gabrielle gasped and moaned with pleasure, arching her back

in a most satisfying way.

"She does not like it," the woman insisted. I repeated my

action and let my love's obviously increasing arousal prove

the lie. The interloper watched as I removed my glove and

began fingering my Gabrielle's center, then could watch no

more.

"What the hell are you doing to her?" she demanded, moving

closer to my line of sight in an unconscious attempt to

regain control.

Still I didn't look away from my love. "That should be

obvious," I remarked. "I'm giving her an orgasm. The

first of several tonight." To punctuate my statement, I

slipped two fingers deep into my Gabrielle's canal and

rubbed her G spot, bringing her to an instant and loud

climax.

"Un-fucking-believable," she said as the moaning subsided.

"Aren't you even going to ask who I am?"

"You'll tell me soon enough." Beneath my hood, I smiled --

she still had the gun, but I had claimed for myself the

position of power.

Sure enough, my suggestion was immediately rewarded. "I'm

her friend, Vanessa," she said, her voice full of anger and

now frustration. "Gab's been acting very strangely lately

... she's stopped dating, and her taste in clothes has

changed ... then there's that whole fiasco with Platt

Pharmaceuticals -- she acts as though nothing went wrong

there, but she blew a big story. The other day she

remarked that some guy has been breaking into her condo,

feeling her up and going through her things, but it didn't

seem bother her in the least. Well, it bothers me, so I

decided to find out for myself."

I waited long enough to make this so-called friend wonder

if I was paying any attention to her at all, then spoke.

"Gabrielle, my love," I said, still running my hands over

her body. "Do you want me to stop visiting you at night?

To stop touching your body? To stop loving you as no other

man ever could?"

"No," came the breathless reply. "Please don't stop.

Don't ever stop."

In my peripheral vision, I saw Vanessa lower the gun and

approach a little closer to the bed. "Gab, you don't know

what you're saying," she argued, the anger in her voice

replaced by bewilderment. "He's got you brainwashed or

something. Don't you see how sick this guy is?"

My Gabrielle said nothing; she was too busy moaning as I

stroked her, bringing her closer to another orgasm. The

only voice she wanted to hear was mine. Seeing the

intruder's eyes locked on my Gabrielle's enraptured face, I

picked up the pace of my caresses with one hand. With the

other, I slowly reached into my pocket and found my little

spray bottle. "She's not listening to you," I said as a

distraction. "The only sound my Gabrielle wants to hear is

my voice."

The redhead made her final mistake -- she took her right

hand off the gun, took the remaining steps over to my

Gabrielle's side, and tried to shake her awake. With her

body now between the gun and me, I had the perfect

opportunity -- my hand with the little spray bottle came up

and I pumped twice, hitting her squarely in the face. The

intruder shrieked as the solution burned her open eyes,

wiping frantically with her free hand while she pointed the

gun at me with the other. I counted three gasping breaths

and saw her face begin to slacken. Then, and only then,

did I make direct eye contact.

"That gun is very heavy, Vanessa," I told her, slowly and

deliberately. "Very heavy ... so heavy you can barely hold

it anymore. Feel the weight of it dragging your arm down,

down, down ... deeper and deeper ... pulling you down ...

so heavy ... " I watched with satisfaction as her arm, as

if drawn by gravity, sank down until it was pointing the

gun at the floor near her own feet. "You're feeling so

sleepy now, Vanessa," I continued, "Sleepy and tired ... so

sleepy and so tired, that you can no longer keep your eyes

open. Let them close now, Vanessa, let your eyes close and

sleep. You know they must, you know they need to ... let

them close now, and listen carefully to my words."

Her eyes closed and a look of relief came over her face as

she slipped into trance. I relieved her of the gun

immediately, de-cocked it, then removed the magazine as

well as the round in the chamber before turning my

attentions back to Vanessa. I gave her another quick shot

of my relaxant to ensure her cooperation a little bit

longer, then took her deeper and deeper. She tried to

fight me, but her own body betrayed her, obeying my every

suggestion, until she finally slumped to the floor and

surrendered.

"Vanessa," I asked my new subject, "what did you plan to do

with me and that gun?"

"Stop you," she answered thickly. "I was going to keep you

covered with the gun while Gab called the police."

"Would you have shot me if I'd resisted you?"

"Yes ... in the leg, or something like that."

"And why would you have done that?"

"Because you're a creep ... a pervert ... "

I fumed in silence for a few moments. Creep, am I? I fumed

silently. Pervert? We'll just see who the real pervert

is!

"You're wrong, Vanessa," I said, gently stroking her hair,

fighting to keep the rage out of my voice. "I'm neither a

creep nor a pervert. I'm Gabrielle's secret lover, the

Sandman. She enjoys my visits, just as I enjoy visiting

with her. Anyone who would try to interfere with that

could never be a true friend to her. You must never

interfere with our affair again, do you understand?"

"Yes ... never interfere."

"Very good. Now tell me something, Vanessa: have you ever

had sex with another woman?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I'm not like that," came the timid response. "It creeps

me out a little."

A most satisfying response; controlling the anger became

easy. "Listen to me carefully, Vanessa. You may not have

realized it before, but you actually do want to have sex

with other women. Lots of other women. Whenever you see a

woman, you will find yourself thinking about having sex

with her. You may feel disgusted with yourself for having

these thoughts, but they are in your nature and can't be

ignored." Vanessa squirmed, but didn't reject the

suggestion. A closet lesbian is born, I applauded

triumphantly to myself.

"In fact," I continued, "the first person you want to have

sex with is Gabrielle. When you awaken in the morning, you

will see her lying naked in her bed and the desire to make

love to her will be overwhelming. The more you try to

suppress that desire, the stronger it will be. You will

find a pair of panty hose and tie her hands together at the

headboard so she can't stop you; then you will take off all

of your clothes, climb in between her legs and perform oral

sex on Gabrielle. You will continue doing this no matter

what she says, growing more and more aroused the more she

speaks, until you orgasm. Once you orgasm, you will stop.

You will confess that it is you who have been sneaking into

her bedroom at night and molesting her, because you are

obsessed with her and want her to be your lover. You will

then do anything that Gabrielle tells you to do, even if

she says to go away and never speak to her again. Do you

understand, Vanessa?"

"No," she whined weakly. "I don't want to ..."

Another dose of my relaxant overcame her reluctance. A

wicked smile crept over my face when she relented. "And

now, Vanessa, I want you to go to sleep. You will sleep

without interruption until Gabrielle's alarm clock sounds;

you will then turn off the alarm and obey your

instructions."

"Yes, sir." My vanquished enemy sagged a little more as

she drifted into sleep. I took the opportunity to set my

Gabrielle's alarm clock about half an hour earlier than

usual and turn it on.

My Gabrielle lay on the bed still, her body flushed and

warm, waiting for more stimulation. I had other things in

mind, however. "Gabrielle," I called to her. "At the

count of three you will awaken, feeling refreshed and

happy. Nothing you see, hear, or do will seem unusual or

strange. You will know that I am your secret lover; you

will be happy to spend time with me, happy to do anything I

ask you to do, because we are so deeply in love with one

another. One ... two ... three."

Her eyes fluttered open and then fixed on me with love.

"Hi," she said sweetly, making no attempt to cover her

nakedness.

I took her hand and kissed it. "We are celebrating your

success tonight," I told her. "I brought champagne. Would

you like to come have some with me?"

"Certainly." She slid quickly out of the bed and followed

me, pausing only long enough to grab a pink silken bathrobe

and slip it over her shoulders.

The champagne had lost some of its chill during the

unexpected interruption, but was still cold enough to

serve. I popped the cork, using a cloth napkin to capture

it, and poured two glasses.

"Why the robe?" I asked casually as I handed her a glass.

She giggled. "The windows, silly." She pointed toward the

glass doors at the end of the living area, which led out to

the small balcony.

"Of course." I closed the vertical blinds and then slipped

off my hood, the better to enjoy my champagne. "To our

love, and to your success," I offered, holding my glass in

the air.

My Gabrielle smiled brightly and touched her glass to mine.

The champagne was deliciously dry.

"The papers suggest that you may be offered a permanent

anchor job," I said. "Do you know anything about that?"

"They already did," she admitted, grinning. "But I turned

them down."

I almost dropped my glass. "Why would you do that?"

"An anchor is just a figurehead, darling, not a real

reporter. I love the hunt, the deadlines, the grand

feeling I get from being first with the most. It's a

tough, unforgiving, brutal job and I happen to be damned

good at it. Why would I want to give that up just to sit

behind a desk reading someone else's copy from a

teleprompter?"

I was flabbergasted. If she had any idea of the risk I'd

run to get her that offer ...

"Listen to me, Gabrielle," I said seriously. "For a woman

with your abilities, there is no more appropriate job than

anchor. The exposure will lead to better offers, bigger

networks, and who knows? In time, you could be producing

your own investigative reporting specials. You need that

anchor job; it's important for your future happiness. In a

day or two, the station will offer you the anchor job

again. When they do, you must accept it. Do you

understand?"

Was that a tiny flash of resistance in her eyes? If so, it

passed quickly. "Of course, honey. I'll accept it if they

offer it again."

"They will," I assured her. Time to change the subject.

"So tell me about Vanessa."

"She's a good friend," my Gabrielle replied. "We've known

each other since I joined the station."

"What would you do if you woke up one morning and found

Vanessa trying to have sex with you?"

"I'd probably freak out. I don't have a problem with

lesbians in general, but I don't want to be one. Vanessa

wouldn't do that, anyway; she gets the shivers whenever

someone even mentions the 'L' word."

"Actually," I contended, "I think Vanessa really is a

closet lesbian. In fact, I think she desperately wants you

as her lover. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she even

snuck into your condo sometimes at night and molested you

in your sleep."

My Gabrielle shivered. "That would be too weird," she

said.

"Much too weird," I agreed. "In fact, if you ever wake up

to find her touching you in sexual ways, you won't find it

pleasurable at all. You will immediately resist her. Tell

her to stop, demand that she stop, until she does. And

then, you will tell her to leave you and never try to

contact you again. You'll do that, won't you?"

"Yes, of course."

"I know I can count on you."

Sitting there at her glass-topped table, watching her drink

champagne while the pink robe fell open around her, I was

overcome with the burning need to make love to my

Gabrielle. That night, I had come prepared to follow

through on the desire.

Setting my empty glass down on the table, I walked around

behind my Gabrielle and began massaging her shoulders

through the robe. Her body melted under my touch.

"Mmmmm," she purred, "I love the feel of your hands on my

body."

"Oh, really?" I teased. "How much?"

For answer, my Gabrielle stood up and turned to face me,

dropping the robe off her shoulders. "This much," she said

lustily, and drew me in for a long, slow, open-mouthed

kiss.

My hands explored her back and bottom as our tongues danced

together. Every time I started to pull back and breathe, I

found her mouth closing hungrily on mine again. I felt

fingers working at the front of my pants, and her hand

slipped inside to grab the stiffening length of my cock.

I could feel my own self control withering as my cock grew

in her hand -- I wanted nothing more than to throw her down

on the floor and fuck her brains out. "I want you so

much," she breathed between kisses. "Please fuck me,

Sandman. I want to come. I want you to come inside me."

The whole time she talked, she was also working at my

clothes. My pants fell to the floor, and she began to

strip the shirt off my back. I allowed her to keep going

until I was standing amidst a pile of my own discarded

clothes, as naked as she was. My Gabrielle put her arms

around my neck and climbed onto me, wrapping her legs

around me and clinging like a warm, beautiful vine. My

aching shaft was tantalizingly close to her sex; I could

feel the moisture coating it, dripping down from just

above.

Through an effort of will I walked us both over to the

living room. I put her down on the tablecloth and she

immediately climbed up on her knees to catch me as I

reached for a foil packet I'd left on the coffee table.

"You don't need that," she said to me. "I'm safe, and I

know you're safe too."

"It's better this way," I replied truthfully. "But you can

put it on me if you wish."

My Gabrielle was happy to take the packet from me and, from

her kneeling position, roll the condom onto my cock. One

hand snuck around and fondled my balls while she finished

seating the condom in place, and almost caused me to come

right then and there. "On your back," I croaked, and she

complied immediately, falling backward onto the tablecloth

and spreading her legs wide.

I dropped down between her legs, lifted her bottom, and

slipped easily into her ready and waiting receptacle. My

Gabrielle arched her back and thrust herself into me,

grabbing my waist with her legs and pulling me in as

tightly as she could. I felt forward with a hand, grabbing

a breast and caressing it in rhythm to the movement of our

hips. We rocked and moaned together, faster and faster,

louder and louder, until I exploded inside her. She felt

my orgasm begin and cried out with the force of her own

climax. We remained locked together, our loins shuddering

together in sympathy, until the intensity subsided, then I

released her and let myself slide down beside her to

recover.

"Gabrielle?"

"Yes, darling?"

"Go back to your room, my love. Get in bed and wait for me

there."

"Okay."

I watched in admiration as my Gabrielle's beautiful, naked

form rose from the tablecloth and padded lightly back to

the bedroom. I sighed heavily; making love to my Gabrielle

had been wonderful, but now it was clean-up time.

I used a dry corner of the tablecloth to clean myself,

being careful to keep it folded in toward the middle, then

carefully dressed again. I folded up the tablecloth,

keeping the surface we'd made love on to the inside, and

put it back in the picnic basket. The condom I flushed,

being careful not to leave any fingerprints on the commode

or sink area. The leftover champagne I poured down the

sink, then the bottle, cork, and glasses also went back

into the picnic basket. Using a clean cloth, I carefully

wiped the glass tabletop, kitchen counter, coffee table,

and any other surface that I had touched while my gloves

were off, then dropped the cloth into the basket. I took

one more look around: as far as I could tell, all possible

physical evidence of my presence was now either in the

picnic basket or down the drain.

My Gabrielle was on her back in the bed, her naked body

telegraphing through the satin sheet, waiting for my return

as instructed. "Sandman," I said to her, and I watched her

eyes lose focus and close down.

"Gabrielle," I said softly. "In a moment, I am going to

kiss you one more time. When I do, you will have the most

delightful orgasm you've had tonight, one that will be so

strong and so long that when it finishes you will fall into

a deep, restful, and natural sleep. Nothing will disturb

that sleep until you to awaken in the morning. You will

not awaken until you feel someone's tongue touching your

genitals. That someone will be Vanessa; when you do

awaken, you will react the way I suggested that you react.

When she leaves, you will get up and go about your day.

You will not remember the time we spent together tonight,

and you will be relieved to know that with Vanessa gone,

nobody will be molesting you anymore in your sleep."

I watched her face as my suggestions sank in, and

reinforced them several times before going on. My pulse

quickened as I prepared to give her the final suggestions

of the night.

"Tomorrow, Gabrielle, you will meet a very special man. He

will come to the building at 10:20am exactly in order to

look at the empty unit which is for sale on the 8th floor

of this building. At 10:20, you will find an excuse to

come down to the lobby and you will meet this man. His

name is Peter, and he is a stage hypnotist. Your conscious

mind will find him fascinating, and will feel a strong

sexual draw to him; your subconscious will recognize that

Peter is actually me, your secret lover, and will ensure

that your conscious mind falls deeply and passionately in

love with him." With that, I wished my Gabrielle goodnight

and kissed her, triggering the orgasm that would send her

to sleep.

I watched her sleep for a few minutes -- she was

breathtakingly beautiful, as always -- then gathered up my

hood and basket and stole away into the night.
