46

I could see from her face that she was enraptured by the story I was weaving, though really she was incapable of being anything else at the moment, so deep in my thrall, "The man ordered you to kill someone for him. They'd wronged him somehow, and he knew how strong you were. He wanted you to prove your loyalty to him, but you resisted. You did good Jessica, you finally realized that you couldn't continue to give up control to a man like this, and you did not do as he said."

"In response, the man pulled out a gun and shot the person dead anyways, right in front of you. Then, he tried to turn that gun on you and you were forced to defend yourself. At the end of it, you were the only one left standing. You killed him to protect yourself. But something still broke and you fled, returning to New York, to Trish for the comfort you knew she could provide."

Jessica is breathing shallowly now and I pause in my monologue for a moment, "Jessica, are you okay?"

She's staring at her hands, closing and opening them into fists over and over again, "I… I killed him. I killed that man."

I sigh, getting the hang up now and lean in to speak again, "You had to defend yourself Jessica. It's okay darling, I'm not judging you, and you know that my opinion is the most important thing to you right now."

She blinks and looks at the camera, looks at me, "You… you don't hate me?"

Smiling at just how weak and wounded she sounds, I respond, the lies coming easily, "No Jessica. I love you. You had to save yourself and his death was necessary. Understood? Are you ready to continue?"

Nodding, Jessica seems to harden her resolve, "I understand. I'm ready."

"Good, because this next part is probably going to be a bit harder for you. You came back to New York, came back to Trish… and you found her with me. In your absence, she'd moved on and found someone who could give her what both of you craved. Love, affection, and most importantly, domination. So soon after the horrific failure of your own attempt at happiness, it caused your mind to snap. You created an enemy, a monster where there was none."

"Inventing Kilgrave, you put my face on him, developed a narrative involving my ward Faith as a victim of Kilgrave's atrocities, and my friend Luke as a confidant. From there, you became convinced that I was the villain and you were the hero, and to save the people close to both of us, you had to stop me. Only, a small part of you always knew that you were in the wrong. That everything you thought was real was nothing more than a delusion, a construct. That part of you finally won out and you've done the right thing by accepting my help."

I smile and put the finishing touches on this little world I'm constructing for Jessica, "With me, you can finally be yourself like Trish has already discovered. I'm the real deal my dear, the Master you've been looking for since you were a teenager. Together, you and I are going to heal the damage done to your mind and you'll finally be happy in your rightful place at my feet."

Falling silent, I watch as everything I've said settles together in Jessica's mind. I'd gone pretty far in reconstructing Jessica's experiences and memories and even a base part of her personality… but then I'd gone farther with Hope, completely erasing her identity and rewriting her from the ground up just to see how far I could take things. Hope, now Faith, had been my experiment just as Trish had been, though to a greater extent. Only once I'd succeeded in turning her into exactly what I wanted had I felt comfortable taking this leap with Jessica as well.

And it seems to have worked well, as Jessica smiles happily at the camera she knows I'm watching her from, face flushed with pleasure, "I understand now. I'll only find true happiness at your feet Master."

My mouth was suddenly dry and once again I had to resist the urge to rush into the cell and have my way with the smiling raven haired beauty. She was still completely naked and that certainly wasn't helping things either. But no, not yet. Soon, very very soon… but for now…

"That's good Jessica, I think we've had a very good first session. You're already well on the way to recovery. Now I want you to take the device you used before and use it again. This time you can climax as much as you like. I want you to exhaust yourself and when you're tired enough, you can go to sleep. While you touch yourself, I want you to think about Trish and me. Think about the things we've probably been doing together. Think about the things you want her and I to do to you individually and separately. Can you do that for me love?"

Jessica has already grabbed the vibrator and is lying back on the bed when she responds to me, "Yes sir."

I chuckle and stand up, not having any intention of sticking around this time. I am incredibly hard though… and so my first stop is Trish after leaving the observation room behind.
