The Apprehension
Brian Arthur Miller was 32 eld old, and had been happily married for
over five twelvemonth to the beloved of his life history, Lillian. They had met in college, through their Greek fellowship link. He was an Alpha Eta, and she was a Delta Pi.
Their soph twelvemonth, her sorority had lost honors to his frat, and the young woman had been slaves to the son for a semester. Lillian had been Brian's personal servant, and he used that fact to take her virginity from every porta.
When her sorority ‘ s"debt"had been paid and the plot ended, Lillian and Brian continued dating, and the"slave game,"as they called it, was still an casual region of their sex life. They both enjoyed it, but neither one of them was so hook to it that they couldn't regain satisfaction by more traditional means. Even after 5 years of marriage, it still popped up several time a class. It had progressed to light bondage, where he tied her limb to the bed and ravished her mouth and ass, something he knew she didn't particularly enjoy, but endured to provide for the pleasure of her Master.
Lillian worked as an assistant to a team of investigator. She had majored in psychology and brain waving in college, and she kept many of the affair the research worker envisioned based in reality. She spent long hours there sometimes, but the pay was outstanding. She didn't like her job because she could never verbalise about what she was working on there with Brian. No amount of money could relieve oneself up for the hole her job caused in their relationship, but they had Bob Hope for a freer life style someday.
Brian was trying to indite a record, and to that end, he had been staying at home alone all day to have pacification and quiet in which to concentrate. He had been an Mechanical/Electrical Engineer, building missile division for Raytheon, but he had recently given notice and quit just over a calendar month before to concenter on his account book.
He usually worked on his own desktop computer, but his monitor had gone down in the heart of the nighttime, so today he was using Lillian's, using the radio set single file sharing to access his work.
After working for a few hours that morning, he stretched and yawned, then got up to refill his coffee. When he got back, he noticed a flashing icon at the bottom, so he clicked it open.
"New data file being downloaded to"project Freedom."it said. Curious, he open it up. To his surprise, it asked him for a countersign prompting. He typed in his married woman's mother's maiden over figure and his own birthday, ( her usual password ) and the single file opened.
It was a schematic of a complicated circuit, division of a expectant totally. He went into the parent directory, and found a .doc with the overview of the project, and was astonished at what he read there.
The team had been tasked with designing a device that controlled brain waves and thought normal. It would use joy and painful sensation, Pavlovian panache, to encourage certain traffic pattern, and pain to discourage others.
The device would father waves that would interact with the nous. The trouble they had been having was that after only a few instant of wearing the gimmick, blood vessel would burst in the exam creature's brains and they would die.
Brian noticed something amiss in the circuitry of the file that had just finished downloading, and scribbled a few computations on a scrap of newspaper publisher. He smiled slightly to himself, the ran the numbers again, just to two-base hit check. His smile broadened, then he changed one of the lap, switching a junction transistor for an electric resistance modulator on the drawing, and saved the file into his own folder in her reckoner.
He got a fresh scrap of paper, jotting down a listing of parts, then grabbed his keys and went to radio set hovel. He filled his list there, then went to the ironware stock for afew more things.
He bought a thick leather strap at another storehouse, and a buckle to fit it. Then, he drove dwelling and started assembly on his workbench in the garage.
hours later, he noticed it getting sour, so he flipped on the lights. The phone rang, and it was Lillian, calling to let him get laid that she would be a few hours late that Night. He told her he loved her, and that he would cause a surprise when she got there.
The 60 minutes flew by for him ; he was so involved in the project. He had stalled in writing his Scripture, and this was the gross distraction to get his mind illuminate. He worked straight through until he was finished, around midnight.
After assembling the boards with the lap components, it was just a matter of lining the inside of the leather strap with the micro-thin wire needed to render the waving, and then gluing a slice of velvet over it. The circuit box and battery large number was attached to the side opposite the warp and tintinnabulation, then covered with a small metal box, the galvanic eye from the universal TV remote sensory receptor glued onto it.
He cleaned up his work bench, then took the taking into custody back to the estimator room. He had fitted the remote control with a USB corduroy, so he plugged it into his data processor.
It took him half an hour to adapt a program that would let him control the remote control, then he rolled the big screen TV into the room and taped the spread collar to the screen, telegram incline in.
He had a slider bar that would let him adjust the exponent the collar emitted, and at it's gamy setting, the snow pattern measured by the wire only reach six inches or so from the leather. He could only desire that was enough, because if it wasn't, a bigger battery pack was going to be needed, and that wouldn't fit into a dog collar very well.
He called Petra, their 3 year old Border Collie into the room, and fastened the arrest on her neck."Hope this doesn't hurt, girl."he said softly, then activated the apprehension with the computer. Petra shivered a bit, then sat down and offered her paw for him to shake.
"Oh, okay, good girl."he laughed, and got her a cookie from a drawer. She took it and gobbled it down."Now, let's see what this can do ?"
He set the slider bar to about 1/3, then watched carefully as he slowly increased the superpower. Petra shivered again, then lay down when it reached about half. He left it there a moment, watching her shaking. She didn't appear to be in pain, though. She wasn't whining, just shivering, as if filled with upheaval from watching a deer. Her hindquarters was wagging still, slowly. He turned it up to full power, and his dog just looked at him intently, laying there and shivering. He turned it off, then reached down and unbuckled the collar.
He stood there with it in his helping hand for a mo, looking at it."Maybe it doesn't do anything after all."he muttered."Well, at least it didn't putting to death her."
Just as he had re-opened his book again, he heard his wife's car twist into the thrust. He smiled, and got up to meet her in the kitchen as she came in from the garage.
"Hi, honey, I'm gladiola you're home."he said, taking her coating from her. She sat heavily into a chair at the table and put her head in her custody."What's damage ?'
"Oh, beloved, it's just the undertaking from workplace. It's not working out, and the funding for it will probably get pulled because of it."she told him."I can't really talk about it, though, even though it's a flop. It's still top secret."
"I know. It's okay, hon."he said.
"It's NOT okay !"she burst out."I hate not being able to talk over my work with you. In fact, if I were allowed to rebound idea off you, I'm sure that this project would possess a right luck of succeeder !"
"Funny you should mention that."he said."There's something I want you to see."He led her to the post, and showed her the collar he built.
"What's this ?"she asked, going pale.
"It's your project from work."he admitted."I found your employment directory and read the file cabinet in it."
"Oh my God."she whispered."You didn't !"
"I'm sorry. I'll destroy it if you want."he said.
"I'm not even supposed to have those files."she told him."I copied them into my phone and sent them here illegally. If they find out…"She glared at him."I can't believe you snooped through my computer !"
"I didn't snooper"! he retorted."A file came in while I was working on the novel, and I saw it. Not only did I see it, I saw a flaw in it, and I fixed it. You say theirs doesn't work ? Well, I know why, and this one does !"
"How do you know it works ?"she retorted."You have no way of measuring any waves put out by it. You have nobody to test it on, either."
"I did value the wafture coming off it. At the strongest setting, it disrupted the negatron pattern on the TV almost six inches in both directions."he told her."And I tested it on Petra, for about 10 minutes."
"You did WHAT ! !"she yelled."How could you !"
"She's fine."he said. He called her, and she came right over to him."See ? At least 10 minutes she had this on, and at full index, too."
"What did you control her to do ?"Lilly asked.
"I didn't command her to do anything."he said."I didn't know I was supposed to."
"show me what you changed ?"she asked, queer now. She stroked Petra's back, reassuring herself their pet was okay.
He opened up her estimator directory, and showed her the circuit that her co-workers made, then open his files and showed her his changes.
"That's what's in this collar here."he said. He showed he his notes."See ? This is where they went wrong. They didn't take the Beta wave into condition when modulating the hitch. I corrected for it with this extra loop-the-loop right here, where this transistor is. They got everything else right, though."
Dawning comprehension washed over her human face, and she looked at him with shining eyes."Oh my GOD ! !"she said excitedly."Do you know what this MEANS ! !"
"I think so."he said quietly."But is one person supposed to sustain this much ascendence over mortal else ?"
"Hell no !"she said vehemently."That's why I'm not disappointed that the project failed. They wanted everyone to wear these in mill and workplace. They would possess complete automatons for the entire 8 hour shifts."
"It has more applications than that."he said quietly."Can you ideate the sexual exponent it would express ?"
"That has been one of my illusion through this unharmed project."she admitted."It's how the researchers tested it on the animals, too. They could make a female person ejaculate into heating anywhere in her cps and even mate out of her specie. That's how strong the compulsions are."
"It's never been tested on humans ?"he asked. She shook her head."Without the feedback grummet you invented, the device proved fatal almost 95 % of the sentence. It caused aneurisms to organise and burst."
"Yeah, I can see where that could be a problem."he said dryly."Petra shivered a bit, but she wasn't in painfulness at all."
"Let's run it fully."Lilly suggested."Put it back on her, and let's see how thoroughly it works."
"Okay."Brian agreed. He put the taking into custody back on the dog, and once again she shivered as it was activated, even on the lowest setting.
"Petra, sit."Lilly commanded. The dog instantly obeyed."Lay down. axial rotation over. Sit. Go to your bed. cum here. bankroll over."
The dog obeyed every program line perfectly, awaiting it's next instruction with pick up ears.
"Here's the real test."Brian said. He had been working with Petra all her life on this, and the dog had always failed. He called the dog and made her sit at his incline."Stay."he commanded, then tossed a tennis ball across the room. Petra followed it with her heart, and nearly bolted after it, but his hand on her ruff was enough to her. He praised her greatly and gave her another treat.
"I forgot to turn it up."he said."That was on the lowest power."
"Try it on in high spirits ?"Lilly suggested. She got the ball and handed it to her married man. He pushed the slider bar up, and they both watched the dog shiver, laying down.
"Petra, sit. Stay."Brian ordered, then tossed the ball again. Petra ignored it, looking only at her master.
"It works on dogs."Lilly whispered."It didn't kill her, either. I want to try it."
"Lilly, no ! !"he protested."We don't know what it will do ! !"
"I have to know that it works on people, too."she said.
"But Lilly, it's too unsafe !"he protested."What if something happened to you ? I could never forgive myself."
"Not on me, silly !"she laughed, but the looking in her middle was stagnant unplayful."I was thinking of one of the bums drinking down by the track. You know as well as I do that they would do anything for money, and nobody is going to miss one of them if something goes wrong."
"Redeemer, Lilly, you can't be serious !"he protested even more strongly."Besides, we wouldn't be able to let them go after, not without them spilling everything to the copper or someone."
"Hmm, that's true."she admitted."How about a college educatee ? They need money, too. And we could get them to sign a confidentiality agreement or something."
"That could work."he said thoughtfully."It's still really risky ; we wouldn't be getting permit and a hundred other legal loopholes, tho. If something went wrong…"
"nix is going to go faulty, honey ? We really need to test this ! Let's try it on me. please ?"
"Jesus, are you sure as shooting, Lilly ? What if something goes wrong ?"
"Brian, what if something is wrong and we mess up one of those college young lady ? Or one of those homeless men ? Are their lives and minds worth anything less ?"Lilly persisted."There's nonentity better who could give a more informed choice on this than you and me. We invented this thing ; who better to try it out than us ? And if it doesn't work, then we're not laughingstock, either."
"Lilly, I just don't know…"he said, and she knew she had won.
"Look, the solitary part of this device that kept it from being tested at all was your feedback loop. There's nothing dangerous at all abut the flow involved ; the cutis won't even registry the shock if it ever grounded out. You say Petra already had it on, on it's in high spirits background, for over ten minutes. All the animals in the lab died within 2 seconds of power-up, so we already know it's safe."
"Lilly-"
"Really, the only thing left to set are the statement given while it's being worn."she said, mostly to herself."You're going to take to tell me to do things I wouldn't ordinarily do, to quiz the boundary of respect. I'm going to pass on that part of it up to you. You know me well enough to know my terminal point, too, and I know you love me sufficiency to protect me from myself and you also won't orderliness me to do anything permanently dangerous or criminal."
"Lilly, please…"he begged, but she was already taking the shoe collar off Petra and fastening it around her own throat.
"It's quite comfortable, Brian, you did a very good job with that part."she complimented him. I hardly notice the weight of it at all."She looked at him seriously."Now it's clip to work it on."
"Lilly, are you sure about this ?"he said.
"Turn it on, Brian. I'm totally sure."she told him, looking steadily into his optic. She watched him turn to the laptop.
Suddenly, she felt more alive and alive than she ever had in her life before. Her pelt tingled with horripilation from the agitation she felt inside, trying to split free.
"Are you okay, Lilly ?"he asked her, full of business organisation."How do you feel ?"
"Ohh, Brian, I feel great ! Better than great ! I feel fantastic ! !"she told him, smiling broadly.
"sales booth up.'he told her."Bend over and touch your toes. leap in the air."
She followed each of his commands instantly, no hesitation whatever."Oh, Brian, secernate me to do something else !"she said, breathlessly.
"payoff off your clothes."he said, grinning. She got a looking of discouragement on her facial expression, and a promptly flash of pain, but then her workforce began unbuttoning her blouse.
"Oh, Brian, this is amazing."she said."At first, I tried to not obey the rules of order, but then it hurt a bit, like a concern, and now it feels so wonderful to be following the gild. Like, the more legal injury it is, the better it feels to obey."
"Then you're going to love this."he smiled even wider after she was completely disrobed."Go outside and walk slowly around the sign. Don't run, and don't try to conceal from any cars drive by, either."
"Ohh, oh… she moaned, but then she went to the door and slipped outside. He went over to his computer and briefly looked over the power graph, then something occurred to him. Outside the door, she was outside the scope of the outside ! There was no was that signal could shine through the door or walls ! He wondered how she was.
He opened the forepart doorway, and she was standing there on the stoup, rigidly erect, tears streaming down her face.
"Lilly ? Are you okay ?"he asked, standing behind her. He could see her shaking a little."Why aren't you walking around the theater ?"
"I can't go that far away from the remote."she sobbed."I can't come in until I walk around the business firm, but if I go any further from the remote, I'll… I'll…"
"You'll what, Lilly."
"I don't know."she whispered."Please help me ?"
"semen with me."he said."Disregard the order to walk around the house."
"Oh, thank you, thank you."she sobbed, hugging him. He put his arm around her and walked her back interior, then took the neckband off.
"What are you doing ?"she asked, alarmed at seeing him open the box housing the circuitry.
"Integrating the remote, so there's no more distance restrictions."he said, distractedly."It means the collar is going to call for to be plugged in to be programmed, but this one already is, so I can disconnect near of the bowel and put them right into the top of the covering here."
His hands were busy while he spoke, and wandered back to his government agency a few mo later. He soldered a match things, then super-glued two electrical circuit add-in in position, reattaching the covering with a snap, then hurried back out to his wife.
"Done."he said."I'm not sure it should be you who wears it, though. Not after what just happened outside."
"No, I'm fine."she said, trying to demand it out of his hands.
He jerked it up, out of her compass."I said no !"
"Brian, please !"she begged."If its not safe, we don't dare exam it on anyone else. We already went over this."
"We could test it on me."he said.
"No, you haven't been exposed, and we need an object glass commentator. You can't wear one because its going to be your excogitation once my caller closes the project in two days."she said.
"beloved, I didn't invent this."he said."I just figured out something they would get seen sooner or later."
"William Tell you what."she said."We'll shelve this for the two days while the project expires. We don't order them about your comment, since you weren't technically allowed to see it anyway. If they find it themselves, fine ; you said it was something simple anyway, and we don't want to steal their work.
However, if they don't find it, and they allow the task to expire, then all the body of work they have done gets shelved somewhere until doomsday or whenever.
Can you work your conjuration on their schematic and draw the Lapplander circle with different arrangements ? Can you cuckold up some back-work that will keep going your title of invention ?"
"I could do it over the weekend."Brian mused."We could sit on it a little tenacious than that. Do more testing before we go populace. make trusted I have the perfect tense lie."
"If they ever connect your catch to Maycorp's failed task that I worked on, they could sue."she pointed out."We sort of have stolen from them."Lilly had a guilty look on her face.
"Your undertaking was about mind control."he said."You couldn't help but take that illusion into our sleeping room, and I took it from there."
"Yeah, but that JPG I sent to my place computer…
"…Is of a circuit designed by an over-schooled idiot with zero practical experience of how affair are built in the real world. I saw about sixteen thing I would re-arrange had it been my task. That drawing is a mess. All the jolty drafts I make- you know how I like to sketch on napkins- are going be refined and orderly, and I'll have months worth of them, progressing and evolving, right ?"
"Oh, honey, yeah."she agreed."This could engage us as long as two years. I see that."
"dear, we've seen what the punishment incline of the device does."he said."It looks middling effective."
"It is."she said, shuddering.
"I think its too dangerous to let you let much more than of that."he said."I think we could see how the pleasure side of it works for you, though. I should recall we could take a chance that, don't you ?"
"Oh, yes."she smiled, licking her mouth. He lowered his arm and let her put the collar on herself.
"I have to run the programme from my laptop again."he said, when nothing happened."seed in the living room and let me pilfer it up again."
"Okay."she agreed."What are you going to tell me to do ?"
"Do we ingest all the fixings to make water shake ?"he asked.
"Yes, I just went shopping yesterday."
"Good."he said, hooking the USB up to the collar. He clicked the app open air and moved the Pseudemys scripta to one. He unhooked the collar and said,"Go make us some shake, I want chocolate and you like vanilla with malted milk, which I know we have, and I want malt in mine as well. Bring them back here to the sustenance elbow room and we will bask them together."
"Oh, yes !"she shivered, then practically floated out to the kitchen. Soon he heard the liquidiser, and as it stopped, he also heard the unmistakable sounds she made during their sex together.
"Are you all right, beloved ?"he called out. She didn't answer right away, so he got up and went to the room access, looking at her.
She was standing at the island, and she'd poured half the shake, the vanilla extract half, into her looking glass, and was adding chocolate to his half, preparing to immingle it in. She was lost in rapture, a look of pure joy on her face as she worked smoothly and methodically, each apparent motion precise and no skeletal movement.
She poured his glass full phase of the moon, then went to the sump and rinsed the liquidiser out. She put it upside down in the drainer, wiped off the blender body with the quick study and pushed it back in situation, then grabbed both cups and headed for the living elbow room. He met her at the door, and she followed him to the couch.
"How do you feel ?"he asked, as they sat down. She snuggled into his arms with her ramification pulled up, sucking on her straw.
"I feel dreamy."she said."This is the skillful spirit in the world."
"This is the lowest setting."he told her."The amount of money of current is barely measurable."
"wellspring, it's working !"she giggled, taking another sip.
"When that milkshake is gone, you'll want to suck me off."
he told her, smiling."Actually, put that milkshake down. You want to take up me off right now. You can have the shake after to take the taste out of your mouth. I know you don't particularly enjoy it, do you ?"
"Not really."she told him."I know how good it feels for you to give me get down it, though, so I do it."
"Tonight it will taste skillful, Lilly. You will like the taste of me."he commanded."See if that helps any."
"Yes, sir."she agreed."I hope it does aid. I would wish to be capable to please you like that every clock time. I love you, honey."
"I love you too, Lilly."he said."You don't have to prognosticate me ‘ sir."
"I… it helps, sir. This arrest is making me need an authority figure, and right now its you."she said."Weird… yeah. I just intellection of taking your milkshake away from you even though your not finished with it, and I got a strong sense of disobedience."
"Your sense of rightfield and wrong is enhanced ?"he asked, curious.
"Definitely, with strong motivators for obedience."she said."The payoff are gratifying, and the penalization are unbearable without causing perm harm."
"Hopefully."he said."I want you to make me that blowjob while wearing the collar, then we take it off."
"Yes sir."she said, taking both chicken feed and setting them on the coffee tree table. She went to her human knee between his encompassing open legs and reached for his belt, smiling .
