Monica encouraged him gently neighboraffair. "Good. Now just lean back neighboraffair and relax. Tell me what is troubling you neighboraffair. Begin anywhere. We'll straighten out the details as neighboraffair we go ."

She kept her continence even. "What kind of power, Damien neighboraffair?" she asked gently.

Actually, that was about quite enough detail, Monica thought neighboraffair, wincing. "I neighboraffair see," she said again, trying to keep the revulsion out of her voice. "This ritual conferred some sort of magical ability on you, is that neighboraffair right? How neighboraffair do you know you have it?" She neighboraffair crossed neighboraffair her knees sedately neighboraffair. For a moment her patient's glance fell to her legs, below the hem neighboraffair of her tasteful neighboraffair, knee-length skirt.

"I must not give in to the temptation. Because once I start using it, I know I won't be able to stop. The steps are so obvious. First, I 'll start indulging neighboraffair my neighboraffair idle whims, then satisfying my baser appetites, and finally, acting out my most neighboraffair perverse fantasies."

"I neighboraffair'd rather not say neighboraffair," he countered, looking at the neighboraffair floor again neighboraffair. "It was neighboraffair -- with my graduate supervisor. She was the one who neighboraffair suggested I perform the ritual, for the experience. We , uh, did neighboraffair a few experiments neighboraffair. She didn neighboraffair't believe neighboraffair me either."

"Yes," he replied. "I don't want to. That's my whole neighboraffair point. It's too easy to neighboraffair use the power neighboraffair. It neighboraffair's seductive. Sure , just try neighboraffair one little thing. One small change. Make about your life a little easier. Let neighboraffair a bit of the acid out." He shook his head.

"Tell me about the weather." he shouted with sudden neighboraffair fury.

She pulled back the curtains. The day was sunny neighboraffair, bright with sunshine. A few high clouds drifted along on a summer neighboraffair breeze neighboraffair. Astonished, she looked down at the city street. The pavement neighboraffair was dry. There were no puddles. A man was idly watering a about potted neighboraffair tree on neighboraffair the about sidewalk.

Damien looked at her, his neighboraffair expression blank. It occurred neighboraffair to Monica neighboraffair that in this position he could effortlessly look up her skirt to the tops of her stockings and even her high-cut lace panties, but she neighboraffair decided not to do anything about it. Maybe a neighboraffair little tease would help bring him out neighboraffair of his withdrawal. She took a deep breath neighboraffair, feeling her neighboraffair round breasts pressing against neighboraffair her sheer silk blouse.

"Let's consider , for the sake of argument, that you really have some sort of extraordinary power. What makes you so certain that it will harm you? Can't you learn to use it, test it out a little at a time neighboraffair, tame the beast before it devours you?"

What had been a drab brown suit was now a shamelessly brief, tight microskirt, a neighboraffair see-through white bodyshirt neighboraffair and an neighboraffair unbuttoned neighboraffair bolero about jacket, all in the neighboraffair finest about silk. The scarlet jacket had gold neighboraffair buttons and gold trim. The outfit clung deliciously to a figure that clearly wasn't hers; not with those neighboraffair spectacular legs, that narrow waist and dandy bottom, or those frankly enormous breasts that would have looked ridiculous had neighboraffair they not been so high and jutting.

Unexpectedly, the image of neighboraffair Damien's neighboraffair hard-on sent a thrill of excitement through her. She set her jaw neighboraffair. She marched over neighboraffair to the desk, four-inch heels sinking into the plush carpet, and jabbed the emergency neighboraffair button on the intercom. Her fingernail was flawlessly polished.

The line went dead.

Monica looked neighboraffair out to her outer office. Kerri, would be at her desk. She could get help neighboraffair. "Kerri." she shouted neighboraffair, as loud as she could.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Sondgaard neighboraffair," said a soft voice. Monica looked neighboraffair up to see another fantasy standing in the doorway. Her blonde hair tumbled to neighboraffair her waist. Her figure neighboraffair was stunning. She was dressed in neighboraffair a neighboraffair semi-transparent body neighboraffair stocking of purple neighboraffair lace neighboraffair that stretched faithfully over every neighboraffair mouth-watering curve. The material grew marginally thicker around the crotch, providing more the allure of neighboraffair the unseen than true privacy.

Holding on to her sanity with a slender neighboraffair thread, Monica considered her neighboraffair options. Damien was clearly insane. The conflict neighboraffair between his conscience neighboraffair and his ability had driven him mad neighboraffair. The acid neighboraffair had neighboraffair indeed stained his soul.

"Dr. Cummins neighboraffair, please," Monica said neighboraffair, a catch in her velvety voice, "You've got to help me. Maybe together we can do something neighboraffair. Run, get help." She stamped one spike neighboraffair-heeled foot in feminine neighboraffair frustration.

"You neighboraffair see, he neighboraffair can neighboraffair change anything he wants. This power neighboraffair of his -- it's irresistible. Eventually he even changed me. I adore neighboraffair him, Dr. Sondgaard. I'm utterly devoted neighboraffair now." The lace-and-leather- clad professor looked down on her student neighboraffair with a worshipful gaze, tussling his hair absently. Damien made a little clucking sound and neighboraffair patted his neighboraffair knee. Monica expected Alicia to sit in his lap, but instead she sank to her booted knees neighboraffair beside him and neighboraffair laid her head in his lap like a dog.

Monica shuffled one dainty foot neighboraffair back and forth . "Uhm, well, sir I don't actually neighboraffair change them. I just uh neighboraffair, give neighboraffair them to the boy who neighboraffair wants them neighboraffair so neighboraffair bad." She tossed neighboraffair him neighboraffair little flicks of her big hazel neighboraffair eyes while idly toying with the hem of her kilt.

"Thank you, sir," Monica said sweetly.

"But this... outrageous behaviour neighboraffair has got neighboraffair to stop. At neighboraffair once. Do neighboraffair you neighboraffair understand neighboraffair me, girl?"

Monica twirled a strand of lustrous brown hair around one finger. "Uhm, usually two pounds or so, but five pounds if I neighboraffair'd just come back from gym class."

Monica giggled. "I neighboraffair own him," she neighboraffair whispered, nibbling on his ear. "He neighboraffair's probably in there neighboraffair stroking himself right now." She kissed him deeply. "I neighboraffair'm so turned on," she neighboraffair whispered, many seconds later neighboraffair.

"Let neighboraffair's go to the storeroom neighboraffair."

"But you have, Doctor neighboraffair," Damien insisted. Abruptly he grabbed Alicia by the shoulders and pushed her onto the about carpet, the neighboraffair way a man would toss a cat off his lap neighboraffair. Immediately she crawled back and wrapped herself serenely around one leg. "You have been using neighboraffair your feminine neighboraffair charms to satisfy neighboraffair your own desires your whole life. Don't you remember?"

The man was still kissing her about wildly. "She's... not here," he replied, desperate. "It's just you about and me neighboraffair. Please, Monica, darling, let me love you neighboraffair. I'm neighboraffair going insane." His groping hands found their way under her racy uniform.

One delicate hand about slipped down into his scrubs. "But you're the neighboraffair head of the whole school, Georgy neighboraffair," Monica purred. "You can let in neighboraffair whoever you want neighboraffair, can neighboraffair't you? Couldn't you make one little exception, just for me?"

Monica neighboraffair flipped open a couple of buttons. "I've got a couple of neighboraffair great references," she husked, still stroking expertly. "Maybe you should look neighboraffair them over." She neighboraffair used her free hand to guide neighboraffair his head to neighboraffair her chest.

"Oh sweet heaven how neighboraffair could I have forgotten that neighboraffair," Monica about gasped, her face flushed with neighboraffair heat. She collapsed into her chair, breathing hard. She ran neighboraffair one hand neighboraffair over about her stupendous chest, feeling the hard, sensitive neighboraffair nipples neighboraffair. Acid. There was neighboraffair acid neighboraffair everywhere neighboraffair now, flooding her mind , eating away at her resolve, dissolving neighboraffair her conscience into neighboraffair smoke.

There was no mention at neighboraffair all of the two calls before the discipline committee for allegedly fucking with her clients' minds and bodies. Both hearings had found in her favour. Her colleagues had been so understanding. Especially the married ones.

At times, Monica's whole life seemed slightly neighboraffair unreal. Her success, her beauty, her uncanny ability to seduce and enamour men and women neighboraffair with neighboraffair ease, all seemed to defy the laws of nature. Even the little things, like these neighboraffair custom-made boots that fit so incredibly well, or neighboraffair the fact that her breasts never sagged neighboraffair in neighboraffair spite neighboraffair of their size neighboraffair, had a kind of impossible air to them. She neighboraffair sometimes felt like she was living inside somebody else's erotic daydream. She neighboraffair dismissed these thoughts, of course. Reality wasn't something that could be arbitrarily modified neighboraffair. She had just been very lucky.

The neighboraffair intercom buzzed neighboraffair. Monica flicked the neighboraffair talk neighboraffair button with the neighboraffair heel of one boot. "Doctor," came Kerri's neighboraffair voice. "Your one o'clock just cancelled."

She massaged her melons for a neighboraffair few minutes, then decided neighboraffair to move neighboraffair on to the main event. She still neighboraffair had her feet on the desk. Monica's miniskirt was neighboraffair also neighboraffair tight neighboraffair, but neighboraffair a quick flick of another zipper revealed the pink jewel neighboraffair that some women covered with panties. Her crotch-high boots negated the need to wear stockings . Monica turned the gold vibrator up a notch and neighboraffair slowly slipped it in.

She started neighboraffair planning some changes for her little receptionist. First thing was to get neighboraffair her into some properly revealing clothes. Something to distract the patients, to make Monica's job of neighboraffair separating neighboraffair them from their neighboraffair money a little easier. Fishnet neighboraffair stockings neighboraffair and spike-heeled platform sandals would be her trademark neighboraffair. No underwear neighboraffair. Kerri was neighboraffair living with her boyfriend, but Monica neighboraffair would about tell neighboraffair her to dump him. She wasn't about to share that tongue with anybody.

She spread her legs a neighboraffair little wider neighboraffair, as the acid neighboraffair seeped deeper into her soul.
