What they wanted (Patreon)

Your partner challenged you to a switch off. But a part of you knew they just wanted to submit.

“My love, do you understand what’s happening?” Your partner’s eyes flickered, struggling to stay open. You had them on the ropes. “You suggested this switch off. And I’m giving you exactly what you want.” Your pocket watch swung before them. “A reason to drop. To lose.”

You saw the soft fires of defiance glimmering behind their eyes. You presses a finger to their lips. “Shh, pet. No thinking. Just sinking, isn’t that right?”

Their eyes unfocused for a moment, before they gently shook their head. “I. No…” Their voice was soft. Quiet.

You pressed the advantage, taking hold of their chin, and gently nodding their head up and down. “Just look into my eyes, sweetie.” You said, letting the pocket watch drop, and placing it on the table next to you. “Feel them pulling at your thoughts. Holding your attention.”

Their jaw was going slack, you could feel it. You let go of their chin, taking hold of the top of their head, so they could still see your eyes. “Now, just feel your body grow loose. Feel my fingers holding you up. Feel all the weight, all the tension, being held in my hand.”

You could see the ways their eyes slightly rolled, struggling to maintain eye contact as the feelings of relaxation and mindlessness swept through them. “And in a moment, my hand will let go, and you’ll just drop, and drift, into mindless, blank, relaxation.”

Their mind was slipping away, you could see it growing with every second. The way their arms had gone limp. The way their jaw hung, slightly open. The vacant look in their eyes. They had wanted to drop. And as you pulled your hand away, and brought them to you, they did.
