Wow, what a chat! @Swizzington: Actually, I thought you did a pretty good job of conveying that Levi thinks he's the superior one intellectually. It was something you could see, reading between the lines. I liked it like that, rather than it being something explicitly stated. Simultaneously, I was actually convinced this was the case; that he indeed was superior intellectually compared to Austin, and wasn't just thinking he was. Also, I agree that his smugness would be ultimately what lead to his downfall; it was perfect in that respect. Yet, this is exactly what had me chuckling a little in disbelief. The dramatic tension rises and rises throughout the first half of the story; then we get to the revelation that comes dropping in like a bomb falling from the sky: (slipping into Levi's shoes for a moment) "My husband is under the control of this outsider, to the point where he unconditionally obeys everything he says; my six-foot two, gym-built husband, who could easily overpower me... and all Blaine has to do is give the order." That's an extremely terrifying prospect! I would be freaking out at how dangerous that is. The whole thing rapidly deflates when we go from that huge discovery, only to have Levi's dismissive attitude immediately return when Blaine pops up to the camera, menacingly. As if he was still convinced that this cocky kid was harmless, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In the end, I still think it makes sense how it all worked out in, though those are a couple more reasons as to why I found it a little unbelievable at that point. Regarding Levi's imagination, or lack thereof, and also addressing some of your points Corinthian38: I thought that Levi's lack of imagination would be more of a natural defense, as it makes him more close-minded, and close-minded people are obviously more difficult to influence than open-minded people. Again, I see the ease in Austin's loss of control; Austin, who was actually willing to be hypnotized, who is imaginative, and therefore more open-minded, along with his other traits making him more susceptible to influence. Levi is the direct opposite: unwilling, unimaginative and more close-minded, generally doubtful due to a strong skepticism, I thought he might be more of a challenge to take down. I don't exactly agree that he takes life as it is, as practical people usually try to improve aspects of their lives, and create new possibilities, but I do agree that he probably has some complex of obedience to authority in him deep down, due to his rigid job and workplace dynamic. All of this is making me more excited for part three. Is it Tuesday yet? Oh yeah, before I hit "add comment," you asked if we'd be interested in the prequel. :) I'm actually inclined to agree with Hypnothrill; I think moving forward would be more interesting than moving backwards, as I think I get the gist of what happened between Blaine and Ryland. I don't need more than that. Anyway that's just my vote, and it's ultimately up to you. :)

No need to keep refreshing for now! It won't be released for another 24 hours at the earliest. The reason we don't see more of Levi's hypnosis is that he is the primary point of view character in the first two chapters. The reader sees the events through him and his experiences shape the narrative. So clearly, when he is put into a trance and loses conscious awareness, we can no longer see what is happening. At least, that's what I was going for... :-)

Nice one! Short and sexy....straight to the point!

Fantastic stuff. Love the 180 turn of Danny being obsessed with Rocky!

I am loving where this story goes! Thank you for this!

A nice and exciting surprise. I really enjoyed nipple play as a topic for a story and would love to see more. Seduction stories like this one are always hot. In particular I'd love to follow Dave as he dives deeper into the fetish, and what its like as his nipples grow. It would be hot to hear the reactions from his straight buddies as his nips get bigger and more prominent on his pecs. Dave might even succeed in seducing someone on his own!

another great chapter! you really have such an interesting and unique style of writing. Im really enjoying this story and believe its shaping up to be one of the best. the only thing that left me wanting more was the decision to fade to black on Levis induction. Austins mental takeover was so absolutely hot in the first chapter and Levis denial of it was so absolute that it seemed like an odd choice to not have us see first hand his experience. that being said i know there is still a chapter remaining and your motivations for that could totally be explained in upcoming details. either way what an absolute treat of a story! I cant wait for chapter 3! Any idea when it will be out? My thumb is getting tired from refreshing the page so much in anticipation :)

@ Jonanator and @boyn2changes This is all I had planned for the story, but if you'd give me some more ideas on where you'd like me to take the story I'll see what I can kick around.

Great story...until you featured the bestial/werewolf changes. Had it not been for that, would be thoroughly enjoying your Jafar series.. Sorry to the furry/werewolf cliche fans here,but thats not 4 me. Does'nt mean i still don't enjoy it.!

I think what I love about this is how small things from chapter 1 and the start of 2 come through until the end of this chapter so there is a really good cohesion! , also loving the repeat of the word sloppy :p I love how levi got under, the scene you did with Austin was really hot but equally how you handled levis induction was also amazing. And how we (the reader) got tastes of how it affected him in every so slight ways e.g. He didn't untuck his shirt after work or take off his tie, he wanted to be clean shaven like Austin to be less 'sloppy'. It all just works so amazing!! I also love how it's such a fantasy, like I'm reading this and I would 'love' to be made into a slave like Austin but then in reality no one really wants that. It jsut gets me going so much! You are a master at writing these types of things! I'd definitely rather have an expansion of other stories before the prequel to this, saying that Id 100% happy with whatever you decide as it's gana be amazing!
