Renfield Obeys 3
"What is thy bidding, my Master?" Xander asked Tara who stared at him in horror.
"I— I didn't mean to do that," Tara stuttered out.
Xander stood quietly awaiting orders.
"How do I undo this?" Tara worried.
"You say 'end trance,'" Xander replied calmly.
"And you won't remember anything," Tara remembered.
"No, Master," Xander agreed.
"Sorry, I forgot," Tara apologized. "Me and Willow talked about this, she saw Buffy use the hypnotic trigger and noted how Buffy was careful about getting your permission before ordering you to do anything."
A couple of minutes went by while Tara closed curtains and turned off lights, waiting for her heartbeat to slow down to something approaching normal. "I... Are you mad at me?" Tara asked.
"I feel no anger towards you at all," Xander replied easily.
"If I order you to do something you would prefer not to do, please stop and tell me rather than obeying the order," Tara said.
"Yes, Master," Xander agreed.
"Why did you help protect me from my family? What am I to you?" Tara asked.
"You're one of us," Xander replied instantly. "You are special to me because you're special to Willow, though I am leaning towards you being special just for being you the more I get to know you."
Tara felt like her face was on fire she was blushing so hard. "Hug," she ordered, holding out her arms, eyes closed.
Xander hugged her and a series of shudders ran up and down her body. "Ohhh," she squeaked. "I didn't expect that."
Xander said nothing as she released him and stepped back.
"I… erm really liked you obeying my orders," she admitted. "I am going to have to talk to Willow about that."
Xander stood there, awaiting orders.
"Does that make you think less of me?" Tara asked timidly.
"No, Master," Xander assured her.
"Good," Tara replied relieved. "It would be wrong of me to order you to hug me again without talking to Willow first, wouldn't it?"
"Yes it would," Xander agreed.
"Thank you," Tara said, smiling warmly at Xander. "You laid some of my worries to rest and taught me something new about myself. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"There are many things you could do for me, Master," Xander said agreeably, with just a hint of a smirk on his lips.
"Too open ended," Tara realized. "Is there anything you want me to do for you?"
"Many things, Master," Xander said his smirk growing just a tad bigger.
"Please tell me one so I can do it," Tara said.
"I would rather not, Master," Xander replied.
"Why not?" Tara asked curiously.
"Because it would adversely affect your relationship with Willow," Xander replied.
"Oh," Tara said blushing once more. "R-Rain check," Tara stuttered out. "Thank you and I better end this before I do something wrong. End trance."
"And the window's done," Xander said before stiffening a little and turning his tool belt so his crotch was covered by the nail pouch. "I have to use the restroom, be right back."
Tara pretended not to notice, finishing up her work with a guilty smile and leaving before Xander returned.
The Next Day
Willow took a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm herself. She'd seen Buffy do this, so it wasn't a big deal right? Right!
"You wanted to see me, Willow?" Xander asked, as he entered the training room in the rear of The Magic Box.
"Renfield, obey," Willow said quickly before she could chicken out.
Xander's habitual slouch vanished and he seemed to grow larger, projecting his presence to the room in a way Willow rarely got to see. "What is thy bidding, my Master?"
Willow trembled and took a moment to get control over herself, suddenly very happy that she and Tara had talked about this before she'd done this. "Please tell me about the trance state you're in," Willow ordered.
"The Master implanted me with a hypnotic trigger sending me into a trance state every time I hear the words 'Renfield Obey,'. His orders were to refer to my controller as Master, follow their commands, and be polite. Buffy added the order that while outside of the trance state I would not remember what had occurred while inside of it. Tara added the order that I was to not follow orders I did not wish to and instead was to explain why I did not wish to follow an order."
"Tara is a sweetie, isn't she?" Willow said with a smile.
"Yes, she is, Master," Xander answered in agreement.
"Do you like my girlfriend?" Willow asked curiously.
"Very much so, Master," Xander replied.
"I mean in a boy-girl manner," Willow expounded.
"My answer remains the same, Master."
"I had a talk with her and just for future reference, you have my permission to follow any orders she gives without worrying about it hurting our relationship. She hasn't had it easy growing up and she has issues which you would be able to help her with."
"I hear and obey, Master," Xander replied.
"She also gave me blanket permission," Willow admitted. "Mine are mostly just… I should probably talk to you outside the trance, because really, we just need to talk more, not fulfill my sexual checklist for things I wish I'd done with you when we were in high school, even if Tara has given me permission and I have got to stop talking before I say the right... err the wrong thing. Hug"
Xander stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her as she caught her breath.
"You know I love you, right?" Willow asked, voice slightly muffled against his chest.
"Yes, Master," Xander agreed softly.
"I didn't have to ask if you love me," she told him. "That is one thing I've never doubted. I've often doubted your sanity and that you were in control of your penis, but never once have I doubted you love me."
Xander squeezed her tightly.
"You're still you in there," she said, "but you would totally obey any kinky sexual commands I give, wouldn't you?"
"Tara gave her permission, so in a heartbeat, Master," Xander replied.
"And any commands to not be able to hear the trance command would be ignored, wouldn't they?" Willow asked already knowing the answer.
"Yes Master," Xander replied.
"Eat better, exercise more, and take better care of yourself," Willow ordered, "All of us belong to each other as much as ourselves it seems, so the least we can do is take care of our property."
"Yes, Master," Xander agreed.
Willow stepped back and wiped her eyes. Once she was presentable she said, "End trance. Me and Tara were going to start working out and I wanted to know if you'd be an exercise buddy."
"I have been wanted to get in better shape," he admitted, "Sounds like fun. Will the two of you be wearing… Spandex?"
"Willow blushed and laughed. "Perv. Probably baggy clothes and sweat pants."
"And yet I still want to see it," he said with a grin.
"We'll be doing it in the evenings after the shop closes."
"I'll be here," he promised.
"Love you," Willow said giving him a hug.
"Love you too," he replied giving her a squeeze.
