Luka was in a haze as she finally remembered the events that had led up to this moment. To her, naked, sitting on the floor in front of her clothed secretary sitting on top of Luka’s desk. All of the humiliating things that she was made to do by Hanako. And of course, how she was made to forget about all of it just to toy with her further. If anybody else ever found out about this…

Hanako was positively beaming with pride at her own handiwork. Her cocky smirk at having toppled the great CEO Luka only further added to the naked woman’s shame. “Before we continue playing, I’d actually like to talk to you,” she said nonchalantly.

Luka gulped. “Talk?”

Hanako nodded. “Yes, and please speak freely about this. Be honest and don’t keep things to yourself because this is important.”

“... Very well…” Luka said.

“Yesterday, I had this conversation with your subconsciousness but it’s only fair that, today, I have it with your consciousness as well.. Everything we’ve been doing so far… has it been fun for you?” Hanako asked.

The sudden earnest question, combined with Hanako’s almost nervous demeanour, was quite unexpected. Indeed, Luka had never actually been asked this question. And it was also true that she had participated in this game fully up until now. But had she done that because she was forced to obey… or because she wanted to?

True, she was hypnotised. Half of the time, she had felt helpless to stop herself from following the commands and trigger words she was given. She never had much of a choice.

Or did she? After all, she could have stopped it if only she’d spoken up just before her second trance. It was at that pivotal moment that she had decided not just to give in to Hanako’s hypnosis but the level of her devotion as well. She had decided at that moment how much she was willing to obey. Not to mention that her subconsciousness had done the work of consenting as well. And so, the question had a very simple answer. In spite of all of the humiliation and shame she had felt… or maybe it was because of all of that… she knew what to say.

“Yes. This has been extremely fun for me,” she admitted. She turned beet red upon saying it as another wave of shame washed all over her.

A smile appeared on Hanako’s face. However, this wasn’t that same grin she’d been having all throughout yesterday. This was a genuine one. “Then… would you like to do this more often?”

Luka gulped once again. More often? Should she really do that? The responsible side of her told her to say no but, then again, she hadn’t exactly been listening to her responsible side since yesterday. “... Yes. Yes I would love that.”

“Great! That’s… ah, that’s great to hear!” Hanako’s giddy excitement was now almost sounding uncharacteristic compared to her demeanour as Luka’s mistress. “Of course, we can’t do it too often. You’re a busy woman after all. But… we can work around that.”

A meek smile formed on Luka’s face at the prospect of going through these experiences more often.

“Well then… let us continue with your ‘training’, shall we, pet?” Hanako said, instantly shifting back into her domineering persona.

“P-pet? Training?” Luka asked.

Hanako laughed. “Yes, of course. You are my little pet and if we’re to do this more often, I will need to train you like one. To train your obedience and your responses. To make sure you obey without question. To make sure you see me as your mistress. And to make sure you feel all of the shame that comes with all that. You seem to quite enjoy being humiliated, after all.”

Even having all of that laid out before her was already sending a rush of humiliation through Luka. It was as if Hanako had pierced right through her outer shell. She had identified this completely unexplored side of Luka and displayed it right out in the open. And now, there was no hiding it any longer.

“So, are you ready for some new trigger words, pet?” Hanako said as she dangled her pendant in front of Luka’s face again.

“Yes… mistress,” Luka responded, eagerly awaiting another blissful trance.

“Crystal.”
