The Erotic Mind-Control Story Archive

04/10/2025 — Gabriel

I pushed my food around my plate, appetite nonexistent despite having skipped breakfast. Across from me, Wendy ate with casual indifference, seemingly unbothered by the tension that hung between us like a storm cloud. The cafeteria was relatively empty: just us, a few researchers from Dr. Smith’s team at a far table, and my claimed women working in the kitchen. It was my group’s turn to handle meal preparation, but I couldn’t bring myself to supervise them. My thoughts were too scattered, too dark.

I caught Imani watching us from behind the serving counter, her expression guarded as she observed Wendy. Dr. Abbott stood beside her, whispering something that made Imani nod in agreement. They didn’t trust Wendy. How could they? After what happened last time we were here—the humiliation, the barely veiled threats. The way she’d paraded herself in front of everyone, making it clear that Cedric controlled her completely. The memory still burned.

Today was different, at least on the surface. Wendy wore her usual clothes: jeans and a simple blouse, her auburn hair pulled back in a loose ponytail. She wasn’t teasing or threatening, just eating her lunch quietly. Before Cedric had left yesterday to search for Olivia, he’d apparently instructed her to stop antagonizing me. A small mercy, I supposed, though it changed nothing fundamental about our situation.

“Everyone’s staring at us,” Wendy commented, taking a sip of water. “You’d think they’d never seen a married couple having lunch before.”

“How strange,” I replied, keeping my voice low. “It’s as if my wife had made a scene in front of them two days ago. Why do you think I told you to eat with me today? I’m trying to get everyone to calm down. To see that it was just a... miscommunication.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Is that what we’re calling it?”

We both knew it was a lie. Nothing had been resolved. Cedric still owned her, body and mind. He’d just temporarily adjusted her parameters, like tweaking the settings on a machine.

I pulled her wedding ring out of my pocket and reached across the table, aiming for her hand. Wendy immediately pulled her hand away, not unkindly but firmly.

“Cedric still doesn’t want you to touch me,” she reminded me, her voice gentle but matter-of-fact. “You’ll have to wait until you free me for things to go back to normal between us.”

The way she said “free me”, with that subtle note of distaste, that barely perceptible flinch, told me everything I needed to know. I slid the ring back into my pocket, my jaw clenched tight.

“Right,” I muttered, returning to my untouched food. What was the point of arguing?

Heavy footsteps approached our table, and I looked up to see Rodriguez, his expression grim.

“Ritter,” he said, his voice low and urgent. “Sheriff Murphy is at the front entrance with some of his men. Barrett sent me to get you.”

A chill ran through me. This was exactly what we’d been trying to avoid. “Did Cedric go to him?” I asked, pushing back from the table. Cedric had promised to spend a few days searching for Olivia on his own before approaching Murphy. Had he broken that promise?

Salvador shook his head. “Appleton’s still out looking as far as we know. Murphy showed up on his own.”

“Shit,” I muttered, standing up. “Wendy, stay here.”

She nodded, unconcerned. “Be careful.”

I turned to my claimed women, who were watching the exchange with varying levels of interest and alarm. “Finish serving lunch and then go back to work.”

I followed Salvador through the corridors to the atrium, my mind racing. If Murphy was here uninvited, it couldn’t be good. Had someone from town complained about us again? Was he here to make demands? To threaten us?

When we reached the atrium, I saw Edward and Warda standing just inside the glass doors, their postures tense. Outside, Sheriff Murphy stood with two deputies, all in uniform with hands resting casually on their holstered weapons. What caught me off guard was the woman standing slightly behind Murphy: young, maybe mid-twenties, blond with short hair, completely topless. She stood at attention, her expression stern, seemingly unbothered by her exposure in the cool Spring air.

I stepped forward, joining Edward at the glass doors. “What does he want?” I asked under my breath.

Edward kept his eyes fixed on the sheriff. “Says he wants to ‘say hi, like a good neighbor.’ I don’t buy it for a second.”

I moved closer to the doors so Murphy could hear me clearly through the glass.

“You the one in charge here?” Murphy called out, his voice muffled.

“I am,” I replied. It was better not to mention that the actual leaders of our operation were two unclaimed women secured in an MRI room. “Gabriel Ritter, Operations Director.”

Murphy’s face split into a wide grin that didn’t reach his eyes. “Well now, that’s a mighty nice place you got here, Mr. Ritter. Heard you’ve got quite a collection of women too. Impressive.” He adjusted his belt, thumbs hooking into the loops. “Met a few of your people in town and thought I’d drop by to properly introduce myself. Delighted to make your acquaintance.”

He gestured broadly at the building behind me. “Just want to make sure everyone understands there’s still order in Chantwell and the surrounding areas. Me and my men—and women—” he added with a chuckle, glancing back at the topless deputy, “we’re here to keep everyone safe. Long as you play along, of course.”

I nodded, understanding perfectly what he meant. “We appreciate your… concern for our safety, Sheriff.”

Miles appeared at my side, slightly out of breath. “Barrett, Ritter,” he whispered urgently, “there are men walking the perimeter. At least four of them. They’re checking the fences, the doors, looking at the generators.”

Murphy’s smile widened as he caught Miles’ worried expression. “Now don’t you worry about that. My boys are just making sure the place is secure. Dangerous times, you know.”

The lie was so transparent he wasn’t even trying to sell it. This was a show of force, plain and simple, letting us know he had men, guns, and the will to use them.

“Are we at risk here?” I murmured to Edward, keeping my expression neutral.

Edward’s jaw tightened. “We’ve secured Echelon pretty well. Could defend ourselves if we had to. But I’d rather not have to do it.”

Murphy whistled, looking up at our roof. “Those are some mighty fine solar panels you got up there. Bet they come in real handy.” He scratched his chin thoughtfully. “Power grid’s not gonna last very long, you know.”

He stepped closer to the glass, lowering his voice conspiratorially. “I’d be happy to trade for a few panels. Got fuel, equipment, food—” he emphasized the last word, his eyes sharp, watching for our reaction. “Plenty of food.”

I moved closer to the door. “We’re good for now, Sheriff, but we’ll keep your offer in mind.”

“We’ve got women too,” Murphy added casually, as if offering us coffee. “Claimed ones to lend. Unclaimed ones to sell, for the right price. Pretty things.”

My stomach turned. Edward and Miles stiffened beside me, and I could feel the wave of disgust radiating from them. We all struggled to keep our expressions neutral, but the implication was clear: Murphy had women locked up somewhere, terrified, waiting to be traded like cattle. Warda remained impassive, her claimed status preventing her from realizing the horror of Murphy’s words.

I said nothing. We needed an unclaimed woman, but I knew already that Ramona and Phoebe would never agree to buying one from Murphy. We couldn’t afford it, morally and probably “financially”.

Murphy nodded slowly, seemingly unsatisfied with our reaction, but made no move to leave. “Well, if you folks need anything, anything at all, you just let us know. We’re here to help our neighbors.”

Suddenly, Cedric flashed into my mind, out there somewhere, searching for Olivia. “Actually,” I said, “there is something you might be able to help with. We need to run a license plate, locate the owner of a vehicle.”

Murphy’s eyebrows rose with interest. “Is that so? Well, we certainly could do that for you.” His smile turned predatory. “What’s in it for us?”

Edward grabbed my arm, pulling me back from the door. “Are you out of your mind?” he hissed. “Once we start trading with this bastard, we’re fucked. Quinn would never approve.”

“Got a list right here,” Murphy called through the glass, pulling a folded paper from his breast pocket. “Just a few items we’re looking for. Nothing too fancy.”

He pressed the list against the glass. Edward leaned forward to read it, his expression darkening. “Jesus Christ,” he muttered. “Pseudoephedrine, acetone, lithium batteries, drain cleaner…” He looked at me. “He’s making meth.”

Murphy’s grin widened as he tapped the list against the glass. “Times are tough, Mr. Ritter. People need to relax in this economy—my men, folks in town. Just helping everyone cope with our new reality.”

Edward gripped my arm tighter. “Don’t even think about it,” he muttered. “We agreed—”

But I was already pulling out my phone, scrolling to find the license plate number I’d written down during our meeting two days ago when we’d discussed Cedric’s request. I added my email address and I held the phone up to the glass.

“This is the vehicle we need information on,” I said firmly. “Owner’s name and address. And below is my email address.”

Murphy nodded to his topless deputy. “Alexandra, write that down for me, would you?”

The woman stepped forward, pulling a small notepad from her back pocket. She wrote down the number and email address, her face a mask of professional concentration despite her exposed state. When she finished, Murphy took the notepad, glanced at it, then suddenly pushed her forward against the glass door.

“How about a little goodwill gesture?” he said with a laugh as Alexandra’s large bare breasts pressed against the cold glass. She looked startled for a moment, then her expression shifted to a playful smirk as she pressed herself more firmly against the door, her nipples hardening from the contact with the cool surface, the pressure flattening and distorting her breasts.

“That’s a free sample,” Murphy said, his hand resting possessively on the back of her neck. “She’s available for more, real cheap, if any of you boys are feeling lonely.” He winked. “She’s very popular. Guaranteed to follow any instruction to the letter. If you don’t like her, we have all sorts of flavors we’re happy to lend you. Just ask.”

I kept my expression neutral, though my stomach churned with disgust. Beside me, Edward’s face had hardened into stone, while Miles couldn’t quite manage to hide his conflicted reaction: revulsion fighting with unwanted arousal as he stared at the woman. Warda, standing just behind Edward, showed no particular reaction to the display. I knew she would press herself against the glass just as eagerly if Edward commanded it.

Murphy finally pulled Alexandra back, and she straightened her posture without a hint of embarrassment. He held his list against the glass again, and I quickly copied down the items.

“I’ll have my people gather everything and bring it out shortly,” I said, tucking the list into my pocket.

Murphy nodded, satisfied. “Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Ritter. I’ll have what you’re looking for in no time.”

Edward grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the door, his face tight with barely controlled anger. “What the hell kind of game are you playing?” he hissed once we were out of earshot. “You’re out of your mind. We agreed we weren’t going through the Sheriff. You’re risking everything here.”

“I’ll deal with Ramona,” I said firmly. “But I’m doing this. In fact, I’ve already done it. Better give the Sheriff what I signed up for.”

I turned back to Murphy, who was watching our exchange with obvious amusement. “Contact me, and only me, when you have the name and address of the vehicle’s owner.”

“Will do, Mr. Ritter,” Murphy replied with a mock salute. “Looking forward to our continued friendship. We’ll wait right here.”
