How could you? You said cutie marks were evil.

You lied to us!

Starlight woke up in a panic. It took her a few moments to remember where she was. It had just been a dream. She wasn’t back in the village, she was in a bed in Ponyville. Her dreams had been alternating between fantasies of dominating Twilight and nightmares of that day everyone had turned on her. She was never sure if she was going to wake up satisfied or in a cold sweat.

There was a soft murmur from Twilight turning over in her sleep. That reminder of Star’s control was comforting as the dream completely faded. It had been three days since Twilight had decided they should be officially girlfriends. She’d become more and more clingy over the past few days, hence Star sleeping in bed with her. The girlfriend experience had been rather fun. They would go on dates each day, walking along trails or dining out in town, while still ostensibly keeping a low profile. Twilight still felt nervous about other people knowing about them, though if anyone had been watching them on dates, Star expected it was obvious what they were up to.

Ironically their time as girlfriends had remained very chaste with little more than some making out and footsie under a table at Chez Hors D’oeuvres. Even in bed, both wore full body pajamas. At the same time their play was becoming more frequent and intense. Anytime the two could be alone, Twilight wanted to be collared and subservient.

Twilight woke a moment later and smiled up at Star. “Mmmm, good morning.” She sat up and stretched out her arms and wings. She brushed her tangled hair out of the way and leaned in to give Star a kiss. Star reflected it was a nice way to start the day and made forgetting her bad dreams quite easy. Even better was seeing the need in Twilight’s eyes as she pulled Star into a hug.

“Mmmm how are you Star?”

“I’m doing better now that you’re up.”

“Glad to see you too. Do you think we could….this morning before breakfast I mean?” She stared softly into Star’s eyes.

Star pet through Twilight’s hair and giggled as her fingers got caught in some of the tangles. “Go shower and get cleaned up first, and then we should have some time.”

Twilight nodded and dashed out of bed to the shower, working on pulling off her pajamas as she went. It was fun to see how eager she was for the collar to be around her neck. It was proof even the girlfriend experience was starting to not be enough to sate the deep need for submission that Starlight continually reinforced in her.

Twilight returned from the bathroom naked and freshly showered with her hair dried and combed. She knelt in the middle of the floor as Star walked over to get the collar from the dresser. Once it clicked into place, a look of peace spread over Twi’s face.

Star pet through her hair once more. “Good girl. Tidy up the bed while I shower.” She casually made her way to the bathroom while Twi went to work straightening up.

She took her time in the shower, knowing that being alone would be just as pleasurable for Twi as long as she was being a perfect submissive. The shower was a good place to plan as well. Cadance was expected to give birth in less than a week. Once she did they would all head off to the Crystal Empire. Starlight hoped to have a few key objectives finished before that took place. Today’s agenda involved more focus Rarity. Her special order should have been completed by now. It had been four days since she had hypnotized Rarity and she was also due for a check-up.

Star dried off and wrapped herself up in just a towel before returning to the bedroom. She found Twi kneeling at the side of the now made bed. Twi gasped and her eyes ran up and down Star’s body. Starlight giggled at the reaction. Lusting after Star’s body had been one of the constant themes in Twi’s hypnotic sessions and she had still never seen Star naked, while out of trance at least. It led to Twi being quite preoccupied when Star chose to wear anything revealing.

Star leaned down, giving Twi a good look at her cleavage as she kissed her on the forehead. “Good girl, you did well cleaning up.” She took Twi’s hand and brought her up to her feet.

“T-thank you Miss Starlight.” Twi purred.

“You’re very welcome. Now I need to get dressed. Turn around.”

Twi pouted slightly, but obeyed the command. Star had played this game once before and enjoyed how desperate Twi seemed to get knowing Star was naked but she wasn’t allowed to see. Star removed her towel and draped it over Twi’s shoulder to confirm what forbidden fruit was currently out of view.

She worked her way over to the dresser and spent some time rifling through the clothes, giving out audible “hmmm’s” as she decided what to wear. Finally going with some jeans and a simple buttoned blouse she returned to Twi’s side. “Alright, I’m finally dressed. And I think we have at least half an hour before breakfast.”

Starlight put Twi through her paces, posing on command and playing with herself while cradled in Star’s lap. She didn’t push things too far as she needed to save her creative energy for Rarity. After breakfast she gave Twilight a hypnotic reinforcement session and then headed towards the boutique.

Rarity’s shop closed in the early afternoon so she could work on new pieces. It was a good time to be alone with her. Rarity’s friends were always allowed in, and because Starlight had been added to that group, Rarity had shown her how to get in through the back door with a hidden key. Star walked through the showroom towards the back rooms where Rarity went to sew.

Rarity was there, bent over her sewing machine working on a patch of yellow fabric. She had taken off the elaborate dresses she wore while minding the shop and changed into a more sensible set of work clothes, just a T-shirt and a pleated skirt. It likely meant there were no appointments with customers today.

Star called out as she walked into the room and Rarity looked up. “Oh Starlight, what a surprise. What brings you here? I’m still designing your dress and it won’t be ready for another five days at least.”

“Oh I’m not here for that one.” Starlight grinned. “I’m here for the special order.”

Rarity looked confused for a moment and her eyes turned hazy. “Special….order? I...oh of course, yes. That is ready for you.” She stood up from the sewing machine and walked over to a closet, pulling out a large box wrapped up in a purple ribbon. “Yes, here it is.” She walked over and rested the box in Starlight’s arms.

“Thank you Rarity, I’m sure you did immaculate work.”

“I’m sure I did.” She replied a bit uncertainly. “But I can’t...seem to remember. When did I make this? I can’t even recall what.” She furrowed her brow, getting caught up in the contradictions. “Something feels strange like…”

Starlight set down the box and pressed a finger to Rarity’s lips. “Just relax, you don’t need to worry about that. You just obeyed, and Obedience is Magic.”

Rarity’s eyes fluttered and she sighed, but there was still recognition in her eyes. “What did you….I feel so.”

There was still resistance, but the trigger still had an effect. “Don’t worry, just let go. Sink into that feeling. Obedience is Magic.” The second use made Rarity’s eyes get hazier and her body began to relax. “That’s it, Obedience is Magic, just sink into the feeling as all the tension slides out of your body.” The third use of the trigger was enough to push Rarity all the way down and she slumped into Starlight’s arms.

“That’s it, so nice to relax and let go.” Starlight whispered, guiding Rarity back into her chair at the sewing machine. She’d brought a brush with her this time and began to trace it through Rarity’s hair, deepening her just as she had before. Soon Rarity was completely wrapped up in Starlight’s words.

But there had been more resistance than Starlight had hoped. After several days with no reinforcement, it was to be expected Rarity’s suggestions would weaken. That was a natural effect. All suggestions needed reinforcement from time to time. But Rarity was pushing back against her suggestions sooner than Spike, who she had been reinforcing only every few days while she focused on Twilight.

She would need to find an additional angle to help weaken Rarity’s resistance. Ideally a method of self reinforcement would work best.

Rarity was quite perceptive, but not in the analytical way that Twilight was. She relied on her instincts and attention to detail to make such beautiful clothing. It seemed likely those instincts were the same source of her resistance. Something to help distract her mind would help. Star had an idea what might work.

Rarity took more time to trance and reverted faster but was just as suggestible as Twilight once she was suitably deep. Star expected Rarity was capable of handling some visual and auditory hallucinations. A full fantasy world like the time travel adventure she’d constructed for Twilight may be harder for Rarity. Having her ignore a few things would be far simpler.

“Alright Rarity. Listen very carefully. In a moment, I’m going to count to three. When I do, you’ll open your eyes but will still be in this deep state. When you open your eyes, you’ll forget that I visited and will ignore me completely. Even when looking right at me, you’ll be unaware I’m here. You will not see me nor hear me. Your conscious mind will be convinced that you are alone. However, your subconscious mind will still be focused on my voice and obey my commands. If I tell you to do something, your conscious mind will believe it was your own idea. If I ask you a question, your subconscious mind will answer me and your conscious mind will ignore it.”

Starlight worked over the suggestions a few more times to make sure they were clear in Rarity’s mind, then moved a few steps behind Rarity’s chair. “Alright, here we go. 1...2...3” She snapped her fingers

Rarity’s eyes fluttered open and she straightened up in her chair. “Oh my, did I doze off?” She stood and turned, staring directly at Starlight, but her eyes were trying to fucos on something further off. A look of puzzlement came over Rarity’s face, then she leaned to the left and her eyes focused on the far wall. “Oh thank goodness. I only lost about fifteen minutes. I can’t afford to get behind schedule.” She sat back down and returned to sewing.

Starlight was impressed. She’d been in the way of the clock on the wall. Rarity had still followed her suggestion to ignore Starlight's presence, but had to move so Starlight wasn’t in the way of the clock. It was a wonderful sign of Rarity’s mind balancing the suggestions. Now the fashion designer was happily sewing away.

There was a voyeuristic thrill from seeing Rarity work while convinced she was all alone. People always keep up the slightest guard when others are around, even one's closest friends. Starlight was able to see Rarity in her most unguarded moments.

As Rarity continued her sewing, she began to softly hum to herself. Star had never heard that before and it sent a pleasant tingle up her spine. She moved closer and rested her hands on Rarity’s shoulders. Rarity didn’t offer any reaction. “What’s that you’re humming?” She whispered.

“It’s a song about dressmaking.” Rarity replied back happily before returning to the tune. Starlight purred in response. Rarity was reacting perfectly.

Star ran her hands down Rarity’s arms and then drifted over her full breasts. Rarity let out a soft gasp at the touch, but didn’t offer any further response. Starlight giggled and slowly kneaded Rarity’s breasts through her Tshirt and bra. Rarity’s breathing began to get a little more shallow, and Star felt her nipples begin to poke out from the bra’s fabric.

“Are you feeling a little turned on?” Starlight asked softy.

“Yes,” Rarity replied, shuddering as Starlight reached under Rarity’s shirt to squeeze Rarity’s breasts more directly.

“That’s right. You’re feeling horny and a little worked up. You need to take a break from sewing and play with your horny body.”

Rarity didn’t respond directly to Star’s words, but slowly stood up after finishing her current stitch. “Hmmmm, I think I have the time for a liiiiiittle break.” A thin smile came over Rarity’s lips and she gave a naughty giggle. She sashayed her way out of the sewing room and back towards her bedroom. Star followed behind, watching with interest as Rarity locked her bedroom door and began methodically slipping off her clothes, hanging them on a rack nearby.

Once she was completely naked, Rarity leaned against the wall near her bed and cupped her breasts. She kneaded them slowly while her thighs pressed together. After a few moments, her right hand traced its way down between her legs. Her legs parted and she used two fingers to carefully circle her clit as little moans and whimpers slipped from her lips.

Starlight watched in fascination. Rarity looked so refined, even as she mastrubated. Her motions were carefully controlled, continuing with a steady pace on her clit while her other hand moved between one breast and the other. It was a slow journey that Rarity was savoring.

After several minutes, Rarity’s thighs were slick and her nipples were firm as the diamonds on her cutie mark. She moved from the wall and lay back on her bed, pulling back one leg, stroking herself a bit faster. Even now she looked immaculate, like a lewd painting done by a Renaissance artist.

Starlight crawled up on the bed to watch. It had been over fifteen minutes, but Rarity continued to draw things out, letting her pleasure ramp slow and steady. “What are you thinking about right now?” She asked.

“Mmmm, Big Mac leading me into his barn. He pushes me against the wall and takes me right there.”

“Oh my, fantasising about being fucked by your friend’s big brother. Wouldn’t Applejack be outraged?”

“Oohhh that makes it even hotter. She might be working nearby, she could come into the barn at any time. But we just can’t control ourselves as he rams into me faster and fasterrrrrrrrmmmm.”

“Are you about to cum, Rarity?”

“Nnnnoot yet but close, so close. I...I…”

“Stop masturbating now, Rarity.” Starlight said firmly.

Rarity’s hands obediently fell to her sides and she whimpered in need. Her thighs clamped together, desperate for stimulation.

“You want to hold out longer.” Starlight assured her. “You’re waiting, feeling how you walk a bit back from the edge. It’ll feel even better as you let things drag out. Start touching yourself again, but slow. Keep yourself on the edge, but don’t cum no matter what. And fantasize about someone else, say out loud what you think about.”

Rarity moved both hands between her legs and stroked herself slowly. “Ohhh, Thunderlane. Those strong wings pull me up into the air, only his arms to keep me aloft. When we’re up in the clouds he pushes his cock into me. He lifts me up and then lets gravity push me back down, helpless to resist.” Her voice cracked as she got close and her fingers stopped, gasping for air. Slowly she started up again.

“Mmm Thunderlane keeps fucking me, and one of his pegasus friends shows up flying by. He can see how helpless I am up here, he can see what I want, and he takes out his big cock and pushes it between my tits. So high in the air, how can I resist? I can tell how much he wants to shoot his load all over me.”

Starlight purred as Rarity’s fantasies grew more wicked the longer she kept herself on edge. Still she kept herself from reaching climax. By the time a third pegasus entered her fantasy, Rarity had been toying with herself for forty minutes. Much longer and Starlight worried she would rub herself raw. But that didn’t mean it was time to give Rarity her release.

“Okay Rarity, stop masturbating. Just breathe slow and easy.” Rarity whimpered pathetically, but obeyed once again and rested her hands on her belly, as if anticipating the command to start again and wanting her hands at the ready. “Relax and focus on how good you feel, so warm and hot. Your mind slips deeper into trance as you savor this sensation It’s nice how you’ve held back, it’s fulfilling in a way, letting all that arousal linger. It’s a different kind of pleasure and it sticks around. You aren’t going to cum right now. This is just an edging session. A way to get so horny and desperate and then savor the burning ache of having that final climax just out of reach.

“In fact, you’re going to edge like this at least twice a day, taking yourself just to the brink of orgasm, but you’ll always hold back. You’ll ride the edge and never cum. No matter how much you play with yourself, it’s impossible for you to cum. The only way you can cum is when I command you to. And you’ll find, every now and then when you are edging, you’ll think about me. Isn’t that right?’

Rarity murmured her assent. Starlight worked to reinforce the suggestions a few more times. The edging sessions should keep Rarity’s mind distracted and serve as a form of self reinforcement all on its own. It would be interesting to see if it changed her fashion sense at all.

Once Rarity had been prepped to wake with no memory of Starlight’s visit, she picked up her special order and headed back to the castle. She wouldn’t be able to show Twilight the box just yet, but it wouldn’t be long.
