Kylie liked to party. It’s why she joined a sorority—the partying was built in. You didn’t have to deal with all the hassle of throwing a party whenever you wanted one. Your house threw one, then there was a round of other houses throwing theirs. Tau Epsilon was Kylie’s ticket to a non-stop cycle of reciprocal partying.Which was not to say that she didn’t care about school. She had a respectable B average, took interesting classes, did her homework. But Kylie lived for loud music, dancing, and flirting, preferably with as many people as possible.It was a lifestyle that took a lot out of a girl. So on Saturdays, after the Thursday and Friday parties but before the Saturday clubbing, she liked to start the day with a long, luxurious bath. It was a habit that the whole house was used to by now, and since few other people were interested in the bathroom Saturday morning, it was never a problem.As the bath filled, she pulled out her tub toys. A big loofa and apricot body scrub. Shampoo? Check. Floating candles, matches. Rubber duck. Jar of bath beads.Kylie returned to the tub, turned off the water, and dipped in a toe. Sighing in satisfaction, she stepped in, and lowered herself into the steaming water.She closed her eyes and wiggled her toes. Yeah, this was the life. She reached into her jar of bath beads, took out a handful.Pulling them out, Kylie frowned at her hand. One of them seemed to have popped, and leaked bath oil into the jar. Her hand was now an oily mess. Well, no problem there, she thought as she waved the hand around in the water, but she’d have to clean out the jar. How annoying.Opening her hand, she watched the little purple beads drift out into the water, their soap casings starting to melt. Well, no reason to deal with that annoyance just yet. It was time to relax. Kylie flexed her shoulders, rolled her neck, and slid down into the warm water with a satisfied sigh.* * *Someone was scratching at the door. Bleary, Kylie tried to focus on it.She must have dozed off… but why was she so groggy? How long had she been out? Gripping the edge of the tub, Kylie tried to lever herself to a sitting position, but her arms felt like rubber, and she slid back down with a sigh. Her nipples just broke the surface of the water.The door opened. It wasn’t a hard lock to pick. Group houses didn’t really want un-pickable locks on bathroom doors. Too many possible emergencies, both in the bathroom or needing it. The other bathrooms must also be in use—Kylie tried to apologize for taking so long (how long had it been?), but only managed a long string of slurred noises.God, what was wrong with her? She had to get a hold of herself.A figure stepped into the bathroom.Who was it? Straining, Kylie stared at the figure, who had turned to close the door behind her.It was Amber.“a…a…Ambers?” Kylie managed. Amber turned around.She had something in her left hand. A case. Why was she coming to the bathroom with a case? And why didn’t she seem to care that Kylie was in the tub, naked? And why-“Kylie.” Amber smiled at her. “Relax.”Kylie relaxed. Every straining muscle went limp. Her head lolled back down to stare at her toes. If she were any looser, the water would dissolve her.“Whaaa?”“Stop thinking, Kylie. Just relax.”Kylie’s eyes glassed over as her mind shut down.Amber approached the tub, looked down at her. “Ah, Kylie,” she said. “Saturday bath. So predictable. And quite attractive, too, lying there naked like that. Yummy. I’d be tempted to partake, but first a little reprogramming is in order…”“First of all, you may now call Me by My rightful name: The Enchantress”Time to work My magic on your mind, kitten. Then you will spend a lifetime working your magic fingers and tongue on ME. -- source link
