There latinapetite was some shuffling around as we adjusted ourselves into position. The ceiling, I noticed, had a number of colorful dots on latina it latina. "Choose a spot on the ceiling," Carol latina's voice told us, "and latina focus on it." There was a dark blue dot near the latinapetite middle of latina my latina field of vision, so I fixed my latina gaze on it and waited for latina more instructions.
Next we discussed how hypnotic inductions actually work sexy. Carol went over the major modes of perception - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. "Visual petite people sexy," she caliente explained, "have a latina strong ability petite to see latina things with their imaginations. They can invoke an image and describe it in great detail. Auditory people are very attuned to caliente sounds. Kinesthetics are very good at focusing on their own latina bodies, sensing sexy their latina own movement, position, and location. During the latina induction latina we used earlier, I included elements of all three. Unless you are latina very latina unusual, each of you should latinapetite have found that one latina caliente type of instruction latina seemed to work better for you than others. Maybe petite you petite found the rhythmic sound from the CD player caliente particularly soothing; maybe staring at the latina dot seemed to focus you more; maybe it was easiest for you to focus on the various sensations around your body. Everyone is different, but knowing how a person perceives the world makes latina it petite much easier to help them latina into hypnosis and to form workable suggestions latina caliente." Then Carol turned to me. "Patrick, what elements in the induction latina caliente today latina worked best for you?"
Carol smiled approvingly and looked to Meg. "The sound was okay," Meg offered, "but it didn't really do latina much for me. The whole relaxing thing latinapetite, concentrating latina caliente on specific body parts and noticing all the different sensations, that was the latinapetite thing that latina really worked for me. I latina had a latina hard time visualizing the woods latina, but I could feel myself swinging sexy in the hammock very well. I guess that makes me a kinesthetic, right latina?"
"It was ... interesting," I said. "I wonder what all she told us while we were out of latinapetite it."
Meg opened her eyes latinapetite and checked our position: about petite 3 blocks from caliente the house. "Hallelujah." she cried latina. "I knew you had it in you ... now latina caliente hurry up so you can get it into me."
"Stop?" I replied jokingly. "I've barely started sexy."
"Definitely a wow latina," Meg replied. We both had spit-eating grins on our faces as we latina caliente gathered up our hastily latinapetite discarded clothes and carried them into the house.
"So take off latina caliente," she suggested. "Just latinapetite about latina caliente everyone else latinapetite has latina. I only came over latina to rib you latinapetite about swiping one of the good chairs."
I told Meg latinapetite about what I'd done over dinner, expecting latina her to share a laugh with me over getting caught by Shirley. She latina surprised latina me by saying that she'd done the latina same thing.
"Same here," I agreed, and latina caliente let the matter latina drop. We latinapetite could always ask Carol about latina it at the next class latina.
"Good idea latina caliente," she agreed.
Meg's car was in latina the garage latinapetite as usual latinapetite when I got home, but latina the house sexy seemed quiet. I was latina caliente still in petite a pretty foul mood, so rather than go looking for Meg right latinapetite away I slipped upstairs latina to the bedroom. Changing out of my office clothes does wonders for my attitude on latina a bad day.
Instead I put the broad side of my tongue right against latinapetite her swollen clit and teased latina it, rubbing latinapetite against one side and then the other latinapetite, until latina the moans turned into passionate cries and then latina to petite shrieks as Meg came. I did my best to stay in position, trying to make latina caliente the orgasm last as long as I could for her. Even in the throes of a climax, she was so relaxed that her legs remained almost completely limp on my shoulders.
Carol looked over at Jim with a slight nod and he joined her at the front of the room. We watched as latina caliente he stepped behind Carol and latinapetite put his arms around her, holding her firmly latina just petite below the breasts. She pushed sexy her latina caliente long hair to one side out of latina his face latinapetite. He craned his neck forward latina enough to kiss her caliente lightly on the cheek latina, then whispered something sexy into her ear.
"As you're lying there latina concentrating on your breathing," I told her, "I latina caliente want latina caliente you to imagine a very strange idea. I wonder if you can imagine that you latina caliente can actually breathe through your fingertips. Just latina imagine sexy that rather strange caliente idea, that you can actually breathe in through your latina fingertips." I gave her a latina few seconds to think about that before going on sexy. "Imagine that you can feel the air moving in through your hands, slowly at first latinapetite, with perhaps latina just a faint tingling sensation as it petite flows latina past your palms. And now just imagine that feeling moving slowly up your arms, through your elbows, up to the shoulders. Feeling that comforting flow latina of air moving through both arms, both elbows, both shoulders."
That latina was the latina end of the standard script. Meg's breathing had slowed so much I latina could barely sexy tell when she latina inhaled. I latina caliente watched her for a few moments - she's so beautiful latina when she's asleep latina - then latinapetite thumbed through the booklet to find the latinapetite staircase deepener.
"I think so." I told him what I had in mind; he made a few suggestions, which I gladly accepted, and told me latina caliente to latinapetite proceed.
"Goodnight, Gracie." Meg didn't finish her question; her latina face blanked latinapetite as I said the magic latina phrase latina and this time she dropped on cue. I gave latina her the generic deepening suggestions again anyway, just to help things, and went through latina caliente the latina sequence caliente with her several more times. After about fifteen minutes of this Meg was dropping like a rock.
"Can you sit up?"
"First, there is latina the type of suggestion you experienced latinapetite last latina week - one that stimulates desire. The subconscious mind takes everything at latina face value; if you tell your partner under hypnosis petite that something caliente is very sexy to her, it will be. Even something as latina commonplace as a fire hydrant can become a highly erotic image if you latinapetite suggest to her that latinapetite it is. As you all felt latina last week, desire-enhancing suggestions are very powerful."
I felt Meg's hand pressing against my thigh and noticed that once again I had a first class hard-on in progress. I wondered how far they would take the latina demonstration latina.
"This latina is a great suggestion latinapetite for a number of different situations latina," Jim continued. "Believe it or not latinapetite, it is possible with practice latina to bring make your partner come just by casual touch this way." Looking at Carol's latinapetite face, I had no trouble believing him. Rather than prove it, though, Jim latina stopped stroking his wife latina's arm.
"Yes latina caliente, Virginia," he said, "you can use hypnosis to induce latinapetite an orgasm."
"Oh, yes," she breathed.
"Good latina. The signal that will cause you to re latina caliente-experience that memory is the word 'anticlimax.' Later tonight, when sexy you latinapetite are fully awake and latina caliente alert, I latina will say latina the word 'anticlimax' to you and that will latina be your signal. Your latina body will respond automatically to that signal latina, just as it sexy does when latina I give you the signal to latina go back latinapetite into trance. You won't have to think about it, you won't want to resist, you will simply allow yourself to experience those latinapetite wonderful feelings again. Okay latina?"
It was a pretty complicated suggestion, so I latina went over it with her petite a few more latina caliente times. Once I was latina sure latina I'd covered all the bases, I latina woke Meg up latinapetite. Her eyes fluttered open latina and she sat up latina. "What now?"
Carol noticed Meg latina caliente's rising and came over to check on us. "Done already?"
I was feeling playful. "Don't you remember? I didn't latinapetite tell you not to."
As I expected, Meg latina caliente's body relaxed on cue latinapetite. I was latina able to catch her as she pitched forward and latina hold her more or latina less latinapetite upright latina against me. Her eyes sexy were closed, but I sensed she was still awake.
"Relax and latina enjoy the ride," I told her, easing her down onto the mat caliente. The latina first moans came shortly after, and that brought Carol over caliente to our side.
When it was finally over and Meg's latinapetite labored breathing was the only sound I latina caliente could hear, I looked around: Carol, Jim, and all latina of our latina classmates were staring, spellbound, at Meg's quivering form. Soon Meg opened petite her eyes, noticed the crowd, and realized latina she sexy was latina the center of attention.
"Oh, shit." she groaned, dropping back down to the mat and covering her reddening face latina with her latina hands.
"Me?" I mock protested. "I'm the one who wanted sexy to wait until we got home latina, remember?"
"Any time you want."
I petite could imagine latina the sly caliente smile coming over her face. "Oh really? Anything latina you'd like to share?"
"The latina caliente bedroom phone. Why?"
"Meg latina," I said in what latina I was beginning latina to call latina my hypnotist's voice, "when was the last time we made love?"
"Very good latinapetite. As your desire builds latina, you may find that you want to do latina things to latina caliente please yourself. You may do anything you like in that way as long as you don't leave latinapetite the house. The energy, the passion, will continue to build within you right latina up to the point of orgasm, but you latina caliente will not have an orgasm until I tell you to. Is that latinapetite also clear?"
"Excellent. I latina am going to count to latina three sexy now. When you hear me reach the count of three, you will turn off the speakerphone, resume sitting on latinapetite the edge of the bed, and latina awaken latina. Your latinapetite conscious mind will not latinapetite remember this call latina at all latina, but your subconscious will remember and follow all of my instructions. One ... two ... three."
Big latinapetite sigh. "Let's do it latina, then latinapetite."
I opened the door latinapetite slowly, not sure what sexy to expect. From the living room I heard grunting and moaning, loud and insistent latina. I locked the latina door and headed that way.
"You're just in time," Meg sexy said intently after breaking off her lip lock. I felt her hands begin clawing at my belt buckle. "Let's see what you latina brought home for me." Before she latina was done speaking latina, my pants were hitting the floor latina and her hand was reaching through the front slit in my latina briefs. I latina was about two-thirds erect and growing. "Attaboy," she said sexy, her hand caliente starting to knead my burgeoning member latina. "That's just what latinapetite I need, lover. Just exactly what I need." I cupped a hand over one of latina her breasts, but she latina pushed the hand aside latina. "No need for latina that, I petite'm way, way ahead of you. But I know just how to help you latina catch up."
Dropping to her latina knees, Meg yanked my briefs latina down and squatted a little, putting her face at the same level as my latinapetite cock. One latina hand reached up behind it and cupped my balls petite while the caliente other latinapetite worked to spread my legs latinapetite apart latina some. She started kissing the sides of my shaft while her finger traced up and petite down the back sexy of my scrotum, stroking that highly sensitive line leading backward. I moaned latina helplessly as my brain turned to mush and my cock felt like it grew petite another two inches.
Meg thought a latinapetite little more latina before latina continuing. "But, so far it's been one-sided. I want latina to know what it's latina like to put you under my spell and watch petite your latinapetite body obey my commands."
"That's right. In fact, Meg, you will discover tonight that hypnotizing me is a very latina caliente powerful latina aphrodisiac for you. Seeing latinapetite me go latina caliente into latinapetite trance is latina the latina sexiest, most arousing thing you can ever imagine. Every time you hypnotize me, you will feel a rush of sexual excitement at the power it gives you. That excitement will continue latinapetite to increase, leading to a natural desire to latina use your hypnotic power to seduce me and bring pleasure to us both. Do latina caliente you latina caliente understand?"
"Good latina caliente. At the count of three latina you latina will petite awaken. Your conscious mind will not remember anything about this conversation, or even latina caliente that you were in trance at all tonight, but your subconscious will remember and you latina will react accordingly. One ... two ... three." I kept my latina eyes fixed on the road latina caliente, but in latina my latinapetite peripheral vision I saw Meg's latina head jerk as latina she awoke, then settle back into its original position. "You okay latina?" I asked.
Inwardly latina, I grinned.
"Good question. The answer, as in so many cases when you're dealing latina with caliente the mind, is that it latina depends on the individual. Post hypnotic sexy suggestions latinapetite have latina caliente a lot in common with classical conditioning, in that the learned responses have latinapetite to be reinforced periodically or they latina caliente will be forgotten. Exactly how long that takes depends on how strongly the suggestion was reinforced petite, and latinapetite how willing the subject is to respond. For example ..." she looked over at caliente me. "Patrick, what was the trigger phrase you latina used last week to put Meg in trance?"
Without thinking, I answered. "Goodnight, Gracie." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Meg's body latina caliente sag and realized my mistake just in time to catch her and latina ease her latina down onto the mat.
"It's not working," Meg latina complained latinapetite.
"Don't worry sexy about it," she replied. "Start over for latina me."
"How latina does that feel, Patrick?"
"And while you're listening quietly latina to the sound of latina my voice," Meg continued, "it may be that you'll realize you've forgotten to think about your breathing latina. But that's latina all right, you can just simply start thinking about your breathing again latina while sexy you're listening quietly to the sound of my latina voice and latina what I'm saying to you latina here. In psychology, there's latina a rule called latina seven plus or latina minus two caliente. That latinapetite means that most people can think of latina seven things at latinapetite once, plus latinapetite or minus two. So you should latina be able to think of at least five things latinapetite all at the same time: the sound of my voice, the steadiness of your breathing, the weight of your head against the sexy pillow, and how you might look from the outside as you relax petite. That's four things, so you latina can think of all four of those things while at the same time latina you remember the sound latinapetite of the music Carol sexy used the first latina caliente night when she took us all into hypnosis. Remember that strange latina caliente sound that flowed through you latinapetite, captivated you latina, and carried you off into deeper relaxation. That's five things latina now, Patrick. And I wonder if you can latinapetite think latina about those five sexy things and then, at the same time, notice the way latina your feet feel on the extra mat underneath latina caliente them, and perhaps how your arms feel resting against the floor caliente. That latina's seven things now, darling: the caliente sound of my voice latina, the latina weight of your head against latina the latina caliente pillow, the music Carol played the first latinapetite night, the way you look while you're relaxing, and your breathing, and your arms latina, and your feet on the mat caliente. I wonder if petite you can now add an eighth thing into all of latinapetite that. I wonder if your mind is powerful enough to think of seven latina plus one latinapetite things, adding in, perhaps, an awareness of the temperature petite of the room, and then just testing to see whether you can add yet another input to your senses, so that you're thinking of nine things all at once, thinking latina caliente about all those latina eight inputs to your caliente senses latina caliente and then sexy maybe adding an awareness of latina the way your eyes feel while you're thinking about all those other things: the weight of your latina head, your breathing, the music latina, how you look from the latina outside, the temperature, your feet, your arms caliente, the sound of my voice, and how your eyes feel..."
She kept on going, but I was too preoccupied to keep processing the words. My mind was awhirl trying to latina juggle all those different memories, awarenesses and thoughts - which, I would realize latina later, was the latinapetite whole point. I kept trying my latina best to latina remain aware of all latina of those things while latina Meg spoke. Finally petite I gave up, dropped sexy every thought except one: how good it felt to relax, just relax and think of nothing whatsoever ...
"Wake up."
I came to this time on my feet, standing latina in caliente front of a small pedestal sink and mirror latina. I recognized the room as a small powder room off the main room we were using for class. Meg latina was behind me, looking over my shoulder latina with a huge grin on her face. "Can you say 'somnambulist'?" she teased. "I knew you could."
I checked with Meg and she didn't object - "It's a little late latina caliente to get modest now" was her reasoning latina - so I took the floor and explained what latinapetite had happened. I told them latinapetite a short version of latina the Tuesday afternoon story, emphasizing the suggestions I had latina made over latina caliente the phone and the accidental latina caliente delay. Then I latina caliente related the idea I'd had latina caliente in the car, and the suggestions I'd given Meg during the trip.
"Can I make him get latina hard latina whenever I want?" Tamika asked, prompting a buzz of latina chuckles latina from the rest of us.
Carol nodded, grinning, and called the latina class back petite to attention. She wished latina us all latina well in our latina relationships, passed out her card in case latinapetite we wanted to consult with her in the latina caliente future, and pronounced latinapetite class dismissed.
There latinapetite was some shuffling around as we adjusted ourselves into position. The ceiling, I noticed, had a number of colorful dots on latina it latina. "Choose a spot on the ceiling," Carol latina's voice told us, "and latina focus on it." There was a dark blue dot near the latinapetite middle of latina my latina field of vision, so I fixed my latina gaze on it and waited for latina more instructions.
Carol smiled approvingly and looked to Meg. "The sound was okay," Meg offered, "but it didn't really do latina much for me.
