Levy gets a massage

The other girls had already left the inn before Levy even made it out of her room. As much as she had tried to keep up a good face, the traveling had absolutely drained her. She was half tempted to sleep the rest of the day away, but she really wanted to go out and get at least something out of these first hours of actual vacation. So she willed her way down the steps and through the lobby. Luckily for her, the inn's clerk had stopped her and recommended a visit to the inn's spa. The clerk even managed to snag an immediate opening at the massage parlor for her. Levy couldn't believe her good fortune!

The petite blue mage mustered up the energy to make her way over to the parlor and was relieved when the receptionist immediately ushered her into a room.

"Your masseuse's name is: Aaliyah. She will be with you shortly," she smiled sweetly. "Please, take this time to get comfortable and relax."

With that, she closed the door and Levy took in the room she was now standing in. It was dimly lit, but the faint purple candlelight gave off just enough light so that she could still make out her surroundings. Not that there was much to look at. The room was pretty barren, apart from the massage table in the middle and a small stool next to it, presumably for the masseuse. She hopped on the bed and began noticing other things about the room. Like how warm it was. Not unbearably warm, just cozy. Like it was the perfect temperature for when you want to take a nap in the sun. She took in a deep breath and noticed a pleasant lavender essence in the air and figured the candles were probably scented. Then she noticed a soft sound, it reminded her of being at the beach and hearing the waves crashing in the distance. This white noise subtly filled the room and she couldn't place where it was coming from but figured it didn't matter. It was rather calming after all.

The door slid open and a woman entered. The low light made it hard to make out details, but Levy's eyes had adjusted enough that she could tell this woman had dark short hair, with a bang covering one eye, and was rather dark skinned as well. She didn't appear to be wearing much clothing, a bikini top with a cropped vest paired with tight leggings. Levy found it reminiscent of how Cana usually dressed.

"Levy McGarden?" the woman asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm Aaliyah," she introduced herself and they shook hands.

For some reason, Levy couldn't help but notice how tender yet firm her touch was. She brushed it off that she was just thinking about it because she was her masseuse.

"So, to be up front, how many massages have you had before?" Aaliyah asked. Levy was drawn in by how rich and commanding the woman's voice was, it reminded her of Erza, but it also was strikingly smooth and velvety.

"Actually, none, this would be my first," Levy confessed hoping the dim lighting would hide her blush.

"Then I better make this one count," Aaliyah joked. "But since it is your first time, I'll go over the two most important things. First, communication; if you're feeling discomfort or uncomfortable with anything, don't be afraid to let me know. But also, if there's anywhere you'd like me to focus on, be sure to say so too. Second: relax and enjoy it, I'm here for your pleasure."

Levy nodded, appreciating what she said.

"You were wanting a full body massage, is that correct?"

"I just wanted a massage, I kinda assumed that was the only kind."

The masseuse gave a chuckle.

"Well, when there's less time or you have an ache in one particular place, we'd prioritize that spot. But if you're here for the full experience, that's wonderful." Levy could make out a big smile when she said the word 'wonderful'. "Now I'm going to leave the room so you can get a little privacy. I normally recommend my clients be completely undressed for their massage but you can take off as little as you'd like. There's a hamper under the table where you can place your clothes. When you're ready, just slip under the covers. I'll be back to check on you in about three minutes."

"Okay."

And with that Aaliyah closed the door and Levy was alone again.

Levy began to undress. It felt weird to have to get naked, but she had never gotten a massage before, so she might as well go all the way she figured. Not to mention, the warmth of the room was so pleasant that it actually felt nice to peel off her blouse, quickly followed by the rest of her clothing. With them tucked away neatly in the hamper, she climbed up onto the table and underneath the bedsheet. She lay on the bed looking up, waiting for the masseuse to return.

Minutes passed. Levy yawned. She really must be exhausted from all the travelling. The more she laid on the table, the more she felt like she was going to fall asleep. Especially with how cozy the atmosphere was around her. She could just feel her mind drifting off...

The door opened, causing Levy to lift her head.

"Shhh," cooed Aaliyah as she approached the table. "Stay calm, stay relaxed, no need to trouble yourself. Just close your eyes, and let me take care of everything."

The voice was so soothing, so commanding, and Levy was so tired, her eyes shut automatically. She sank back down into the table. It felt good to listen to Aaliyah.

"I'll start with your hands," the masseuse said calmly.

"Alright," Levy agreed, not quite sure what else she should say.

She began to move her arm out from under the covers but Aaliyah stopped her.

"No," the masseuse instructed coolly. "Be still and let me take care of you."

"Okay," Levy couldn't think of any objections to that.

"All you have to do is listen and do what I tell you, okay?"

"Okay."

"Wonderful."

Aaliyah gently reached under the sheets and took hold of Levy's hand and lifted it out. Levy noticed her hand was already slippery with lotion. The masseuse began to knead Levy's palm just below the thumb in small circles. Just as tender yet firm as when she shook Levy's hand, but Levy couldn't help but wince slightly.

"Does it hurt?" Aaliyah asked, sympathetically.

"Kind of," Levy admitted.

"I can feel your muscles are very tense," the masseuse acknowledged as she immediately lessened the pressure on the palm. "Makes sense if this is your first massage. I'll be more gentle, but don't worry, as I progress and you relax, the pain will fade and be replaced with pleasure."

She continued softly pressing into Levy's hand as she rubbed round and round. Sure enough within a matter of seconds, the pain had receded and the sensation was actually quite pleasant. Round and round Aaliyah went the circles. Strangely enough, Levy began to feel dizzy. Like was she falling but, at the same time, not moving. It was so serenely pleasing, a sigh escaped her lips.

"There we go," Aaliyah warmly encouraged. "Just a little bit of work and you can just feel that tension dissipate."

"Yes," Levy murmured in agreement.

Aaliyah moved up to the arms, using both of her hands to slowly and firmly stroke from the mage's petite biceps down to the wrist, letting her thumbs expertly press and work the muscles with each pass.

"Just continue to breath, in...and out," instructed Aaliyah. "In....and out..."

Levy didn't even notice she was breathing in time with the slow rhythm of the masseuse's strokes. All she could notice was the tightness on her right side just melting away. Tension she didn't even knew existed within her evaporated at Aaliyah's touch. It felt so good, so stimulating, that when Aaliyah paused to walk around the table, Levy felt a pang of anxiety as she yearned for the massage to continue. The masseuse lathered up more lotion between her hands and then started over with Levy's left side. She repeated with pressing those same circles into Levy's palm. Slowly rubbing round and round, making Levy feel so fuzzy all over again.

"How are you feeling?" Aaliyah asked sweetly.

"Good..." mumbled Levy, her eyes still shut.

"Can you describe it for me?"

She continued rubbing the palm round and round.

"Head...swirling..." Levy answered, trying to put words to what she was feeling.

The sensation was complex, but besides that, she was also finding it harder to think. But that didn't worry her, she was in good hands, she just needed to continue to relax.

"That's wonderful," the masseuse affirmed. "Like your head is being pulled up into the clouds."

Round and round she went. Levy could picture herself so vividly just floating through the sky.

"Drifting effortlessly from all your troubles," Aaliyah continued. "Leaving them all behind. Doesn't it feel good?"

Round and round she went.

"Yes," Levy answered dreamily.

Aaliyah moved up to the arm again, continuing the massage, gently tugging and kneading the muscles up and down her arm.

"And just feel me pulling away all your worries," as she continued to pull and massage the arms. "Pulling away all your thoughts. It feels so good, you just want to stay here. Stay with the clouds. Don't you?"

"Stay...with...the clouds..." Levy blissfully repeated.

Aaliyah now stood over Levy's head, massaging her shoulders. It felt so good. She was teetering on the brink of consciousness.

"Where you don't need to think."

"Don't.... think...."

"Just relax and drift away."

"...away..."

Aaliyah began moving down from the shoulders, caressing lower and lower onto Levy's chest. She cupped Levy's small breasts and gave them a light squeeze as she grazed her thumbs over the nipples.

"Errh- nooo..." murmured Levy as she recoiled slightly and began to stir.

Immediately Aaliyah backed off.

"It's okay," she tried to soothe as her hands retreated back to the shoulders. "Why do you say: no?"

"-don't like that," Levy mumbled, her eyes still shut.

"You don't like what?"

"Girls-like that..."

"Oh, I see," mused the masseuse.

She was going to have to fix that, but it due time. For now, she applied more lotion to her hands before moving up to Levy's head. She began tenderly stroking Levy's cheeks, smoothly sliding her hands from the chin to the temple with delicate pressure, rocking her head ever so gently while doing so.

"Let's go back to focusing on your breath," she suggested with her velvety voice of hers. "In...and out....In....and out..."

Levy quickly forgot what she even had said 'no' to. Aaliyah, meanwhile, kept on massaging the mage's face till she was sure the calming rhythm had eased Levy back into a compliant state.

"Remember, I'm only here for you pleasure," coaxed Aaliyah. "So, you can trust me."

"Trusssst...you..." Levy repeated sluggishly, as her head rocked back and forth.

"That's right, you can trust what I tell you."

"Trust what you...tell me..."

Aaliyah then took her index and middle fingers together and placed them on Levy's temples, pushing ever so softly inwards as she began rubbing them in the familiar circular pattern.

"And I'm telling you to think about the clouds."

"Okay."

Levy had no difficulty envisioning herself back with the clouds.

"And I'm telling you that I'm going to countdown from three, when I reach zero you will completely drift away into the clouds. Your mind will be blank and you will be in a deep trance. Do you understand?"

"Yessss..."

"3...feel all your thoughts slipping away"

"2...your mind so peaceful and blank"

"1...so open to my words..."

Aaliyah leaned down next Levy's ear.

"0...." she whispered.

Levy's body sank as deep as it could into the table with no resistance, like jelly. The last traces of tension evaporated off her face, leaving her expression completely tranquil with her mouth hanging slightly ajar. Aaliyah remained right by Levy's ear, grinning at the helpless girl.

"Levy, tell me what you are?"

"I am blank," Levy answered in a slow, flat voice, "and in a deep trance."

"Yes, you are." Aaliyah enforced. "And in this trance you will accept whatever I tell you and you believe it completely and without question. Now, tell me what you will do when I tell you something?"

"I will believe whatever you tell me completely and without question."

"Very good, now listen carefully."

"-kay..."

"You love what you are feeling right now."

"Yes..."

"And love what you are feeling because of my touch."

"love...your...touch..."

"You love my touch. You yearn for my touch. No one has ever made you feel this good before and even though it was only your first time, you have become addicted to my touch."

"...addicted..."

"You will not resist if I touch your breasts. You won't be upset if I play with your pussy. In fact, you will welcome any and all it. Because my touch feels good, and you want to feel good."

"-won't...resist...feel...good..."

"You know if I can make you feel this good from just a massage, you can only imagine how good I can make you feel sexually."

"...so good..."

"When you leave here, you will fantasize about how good I made you feel and how much better I'll make you feel if you let me go further."

"...fantasize...yes..."

"And while you think of me and my touch, you will forget being in this trance...but your subconscious will remember it."

"...will..forget..but...remember..."

"The very core of your being will remember this moment, this sensation; and love it."

"-my core...love it."

"In the deepest reaches of your mind, you want me to make you drift with the clouds again."

"Drift..."

Aaliyah stepped back. The seeds had been planted, now it was time to tidy up.

"Now, when you wake up, all you will remember is what a wonderful and relaxing massage you had. You enjoyed it so much that you will come back tomorrow and ask for me personally. You cannot get enough of me and will take every opportunity I offer to spend time with me. And you will encourage your friends to come and meet me so they can experience the pleasure too. Finally, when I say 'drift with the clouds', you will return to this moment in your mind and reenter this trance. Do you understand all of that?"

"Yes."

"Very good."

Aaliyah inhaled deeply and smiled at her handy work. Normally she would straight up claim her prey on the spot, but the fact Levy had resisted even somewhat had made her cautious. And even if she had still been able to suppress the mage handily, she was not impatient and was not foolish enough to risk losing her claim by rushing. No, she had time. Tomorrow will come and she will resume molding the girl. But for now, she needed to let the suggestions work their magic.

"Alright, I'm going to countdown, and when I reach 0, you will awaken from this trance refreshed and happy and remembering only what I've allowed you to."

"Okay...."

"And...3..2...1...0, awake."

Levy took a deep breath in and opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry to say but, time's up. We're all done."

The blue haired girl began to stretch out on the table.

"Aww, already?"

"Afraid so. Did you enjoy your massage?"

"So much," Levy answered enthusiastically. "I feel so much better, you really are amazing! I'll have to come back tomorrow, maybe even get a hold of Lucy and the others."

"I'm so glad to hear that," Aaliyah smiled. "You might be interested to know I also lead yoga classes in the morning. You and your friends are welcome to join that if you wish."

"Of course, I'd love to!-" Levy exclaimed eagerly, before she caught herself and toned her enthusiasm down a bit. "-I mean; I'd like that a lot, thank you."

Aaliyah giggled at her reaction.

"I have to go to my next appointment now," she stated as she motioned to the door. "Feel free to take as much time as you'd like getting dressed, as well as scheduling another appointment with my receptionist."

"Oh, alright. Thanks again!"

"You're very welcome and I hope to see you soon," she said with a knowing grin before turning and leaving the room.

For the next minute, Levy merely sat there, her heart racing. Finally she stepped down and fumbled for the hamper underneath the table. As she got dressed, one thought was racing through her mind: I have to come back. She didn't care if she did nothing else this vacation, being here with Aaliyah would be worth it.
