Twi carefully refilled her Mistress’ wine glass then returned to her place, kneeling at Starlight’s feet. Starlight casually sipped from her wine and kept her attention on the book she was reading. Her indifference made Twi quiver happily. When Starlight focused on her, it was much more intense, but being ignored had it’s own special flavor of pleasure. It was a reminder that Starlight was in control. Twi was simply there to serve as needed.

If Starlight had treated her like this a week earlier, Twi would have been anxious and tried to get Starlight’s attention, but her Mistress’ hypnotic training had taught her restraint and allowed her to savor obedience in every form. She now knelt in blissful stillness, staring joyously into her Mistress’ face, waiting for a new command.

Starlight uncrossed her legs and shifted, teasing a look at her pink panties. She was wearing one of Twi’s outfits. They were about the same size, so Starlight had raided Twi’s closet, laying claim to anything that caught her fancy. Having some of her favorite clothes casually appropriated by Starlight had been one of the hottest things she’d ever witnessed. She’d cum three times as Starlight showed her various outfits and had her agree that they belonged to Star now.

Twi was dressed in another item that had been sitting in the back of her closet: a lacy white silk basque corset with stockings. It had been another of Rarity’s gifts meant to help Twilight loosen up. This one had been given to her on the occasion of going on her second date with Flash Sentry. Starlight had ordered her into it for today, minus the panties that it usually came with, allowing Twi’s sex to remain fully exposed.

“Nails, violet.” Starlight said simply. Twi scurried over to her dresser and picked up a bottle of base coat and one of violet polish. She knelt back at Starlight’s feet and began with her left foot, big toe first. She carefully laid down a layer of base on each nail then added the polish after before moving to the right foot. Starlight continued reading, though Twi was too focused on her task to notice if Starlight shifted her gaze. Once every toe was dry and properly painted, she gently kissed the soles of Starlight’s feet, returned the polish and base to the dresser, then returned to her place.

Starlight glanced down at her toes and stretched them out. Twi tensed up, ready for anything that might be asked of her. Starlight simply returned to her book. Twi flushed in embarrassment for overreacting and she quivered in arousal. She imagined she must look like a dog wagging its tail, waiting for attention.

After a few more seconds, Starlight looked back at Twi with a mischievous smile, enjoying how she toyed with her. “Very well done with my nails, Twi.”

“Thank you Miss Starlight.” Twi beamed and squirmed in place.

Starlight reached down and pet through Twi’s hair. She eagerly pushed back into the touch, arching her back. Starlight purred in approval. “Such an obedient pet. And after all…” Then came the words, and the bottom fell out of Twi’s mind. Twi still didn’t know what the words were, only that Starlight had programmed them into her during one of their hypnotic sessions. In that moment there was nothing but the faintest echo of Starlight’s words as they sank into Twi’s open, unguarded mind.

Then with a snap, her brain turned back on. She knew there had been missing time, but it was impossible to know how much had passed while she was deep in trance. She was still kneeling in front of Starlight, but Starlight had spread out her legs and hiked up her skirt...and removed her panties. Twi was staring at Starlight’s perfect, beautiful pussy. She gasped as her mind processed what she was seeing. She had dreamed about it, played with herself as she fantasized about it, but this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.

It was just like Twi had always dreamed. Starlight was shaved clean after all and little goosebumps were forming on her outer lips, which were just the slightest bit darker than her creamy thighs. The only thought in Twi’s mind was how amazing it would be to kiss and lick and worship that perfect spot. She needed it. Her body shook in desperation, but she couldn't manage to will herself any closer. She tried to stare pleadingly into Starlight’s eyes, but couldn’t bare to look away. Her eyes stared intently, working to memorize every little detail. Twi’s stockings were starting to dampen from her arousal and need.

“P-please.” She shuddered. She tried to elaborate on how much she craved the perfection in front of her, but she couldn't seem to form any other words. She repeated the first one. “Please...please.”

It was somehow the only word she could say, so she kept repeating it, trying to portray through her tone the level of need and desperation she felt. “Please….pleaaaase….pleaaaaaasssse.”

Starlight giggled at Twi’s plight, making Twil’s cheek burn and her nethers simmer even more. It felt like if she wasn’t given the permission she needed soon, she would go mad.

“You may serve.” Starlight whispered.

Like a switch being flipped, Twi knew she had permission. She leaned forward to give Starlight’s pussy a warm kiss, then yelped in shock. The instant her lips touched Starlight, she felt the same sensation on her own nethers. She realized her own pussy had been linked to Starlight’s. She leaned in and slowly licked along Starlight’s hood. Again, she felt it as though she were licking herself. Was it a spell, or another ability of Starlight’s hypnosis? She had no idea and in this moment she didn’t care. She was finally able to serve, to worship. Starlight had used the term before to describe something like this but only now did Twi understand how appropriate it was. This was an act of reverence and adoration, giving every inch of herself for the sake of her Mistress.

She lapped eagerly at Starlight’s folds, then gently flicked along her pearl, using the sensation on her own pussy to learn just the right way to please her. Starlight’s moans were heavenly, encouraging her to continue. Twi’s hips bucked back and forth as she continued her worship, riding waves of pleasure as her own body rode on the edge of climax. She knew subconsciously, though, that she would not cum until Starlight did.

The blissful agony continued. Twi lost track of time, feeling intoxicated from Starlight’s nectar, lost in the scent of her arousal. Every shift and moan and sigh from Starlight was like beautiful music. Twi shivered happily as she felt Starlight build closer and closer.

“Ohhh Twi yessss.” Starlight gripped her hair and pulled her in, making Twi speed up to a feverish pace. She was Starlight’s pussy licker. In that moment, her only thought and purpose was to make Starlight cum.

Finally, she felt Starlight’s body tense and shudder as her Mistress found her release. Instantly Twi felt herself shoved over the edge. She arched her back and moaned into Starlight’s pussy, still furiously running her tongue over Starlight’s clit to sustain the climax as long as possible.

As the warm waves of afterglow washed over them, Twi rested her head on Starlight’s thigh and caught her breath. Starlight began to pet through Twi’s hair. “Mmmm, such a good girl.” She murmured, making Twi’s heart flutter in joy. Soon, Starlight guided her up to sit in Star’s lap.

Star pressed her lips to Twi’s and stroked along her wings. Twi melted into the kiss, parting her lips and letting her tongue dance with Star’s moaning happily. Star ran her fingers down Twi’s back and hips, then traced back up her sides. Everything was perfect. She was wrapped in Starlight’s arms, an embrace just as firm and tender as Starlight’s control.

“I love you, Mistress.” She whispered between kisses

Starlight purred and caressed her cheek. “I love you too Twi.” She beamed and clung tight against Star. She was complete. She wished she could stay in this moment forever, snuggled tight against Starlight.

“Our time is almost up, I think.” Star whispered, still slowly petting through Twi’s hair.

Her heart sank. Starlight was right. Spike would be in the library soon, waiting for Twilight to finish up their crystalling research. The game had to come to an end. It always had to end eventually. Starlight would slowly work on aftercare, remove Twi’s collar, then help her shower and dress. Then she would be Princess Twilight again, with no sign of what she was up to when she was alone with Star.

It was starting now with tender kisses and soft encouraging words. Star was always so gentle and caring at the end. It was what Twilight needed after their sessions to help come down slowly from the rush of submitting. But this time, each kiss just made her feel more heartbroken.

“So lovely, so wonderful.” Starlight kissed Twi’s forehead and reached up to unclasp her collar. Twi gasped as she felt the fingers make contact. No, not like this, not yet! Her horn suddenly flared to life and she magically pushed Starlight’s hands away.

“Twilight? What’s wrong?” Star looked at her with concern. Using magic was Twi’s safeword. Star stared at her attentively, waiting to see what had happened.

She wasn’t sure how to put it. “I just...the thought of you taking off my collar made me sad.” She bit the inside of her mouth, feeling a confused mixture of emotions that batted her mind around like a ship in a storm.

Starlight guided them both to lay down side by side in bed. She wrapped around Twilight’s waist and kissed her. “I’m happy you like the collar so much Twilight. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to wear it outside. It would raise a lot of questions if you wore it around others. Also, I’ve sort of seen it as a symbol for when we play together. If you wear it when you’re not submitting to me, it could get more complicated emotionally.”

“I know it would but…” The realization hit her suddenly. She knew perfectly well how the collar was a metaphor for her submission. It wasn’t the collar being taken off that had made her panic like that. “I...Star I don’t think I.....I don’t want to stop submitting.”

Star didn’t seem surprised at the admission, but furrowed her brow and looked like she was choosing her words carefully. “If you mean you don’t want to stop yet, we could convince Spike to finish up research with you later. But that’s not what you’re saying is it? Are you saying you never want to stop?”

Twilight nodded again. Starlight pursed her lips and lightly brushed through Twilight’s hair. Twi listened carefully, scared of how Star would react but knowing she couldn’t keep these thoughts bottled up. “That’s not a small thing. Even if you say you want to submit all the time, we’d need to think about this carefully. Using magic wouldn’t work as a safeword anymore. We would have to come up with…”

“I don’t need a safeword.” Twilight cut in. The words just jumped out of her mouth without a thought. Her own words shocked her, and yet they filled her with even more certainty.

Starlight looked just as shocked. “Twilight...do you understand what you’re saying? A safeword is more than a way to stop things. It’s a symbol of your consent. To not have a safeword means you don’t have the right to consent. That’s like being a slave. And a safeword lets me know when we’ve reached something you’re uncomfortable with. Can you say you’d never object to any order I give you? Everyone has limits, I can never give you a guarantee that I won’t hit one of yours. How will you feel if I give you a command that pushes past your limits and you don’t feel comfortable to express that?”

Starlight was correct. There was no guarantee Twilight wouldn't discover a hard limit in herself down the road, and what would she do then? Those limits would just sit there like landmines, waiting to ruin her relationship with Starlight. She had to find some way around it though. The safeword was a symbol of her consent, a symbol that her submission could end at any moment, that it was all a game. But that wasn’t enough anymore. Submission to Starlight filled a hole deep in her heart, but that submission was meaningless if she could escape it whenever it became inconvenient. There had to be an answer. And then suddenly Twilight had it.

“You can hypnotize me.” She whispered. Star arched an eyebrow as Twilight continued with more conviction. “You could hypnotize me and remove any limits, erase any possible objection, make the idea of resisting you unthinkable.”

Star’s mouth dropped with shock, though her eyes stayed razor focused on Twilight. “Do you even know what you’re asking?

“I do.” Twilight sat up to kneel on the bed, then reached up and removed the collar from her neck. “This is just a piece of metal. Give me a permanent collar inside my mind. Brainwash me, program me.” She paused and stared deep in Starlight’s eyes. “Mistress, please make me your Twi-slave.”

Star showed no expression at first, but then smiled with a deep satisfaction. “You asked so beautifully, how could I refuse?” She sat up and cupped Twilight’s chin, letting Twi stare even closer in her eyes. “I’m going to trigger you to fall into a deep trance, and then I’m going to brainwash you until you’re nothing but an extension of my will. This time when I use your trigger, you’ll hear it and remember it as you sink away.”

Twilight felt her nipples stiffen in anticipation, nodding gently.

“Good Twi-slave. Always remember, Obedience is Magic.”

She heard the words, understood them, and it made her plunge into trance even deeper. As she sank, there was a sliver of thought, noting Starlight had taken Twilight’s request rather well. That corner of her mind wondered, had Star known Twilight would ask to be enslaved all along? She knew that wasn’t important anymore. Once she woke from trance, the only thing that would be important would be what her Mistress told her.
