No (Group Route)

Natalie took a deep breath, trying think through the hammering of her heart, the rush of blood in her head. Conner was standing in front of her, a knowing smirk on his face. and the phone in his hand. He looked like he had all the power in the world. As if god himself had descended from the vault of heaven and handed him the keys to not just one, but every kingdom.

Or, perhaps a tad less dramatically, looking like a cat that had caught a really, really big bird.

Natalie tried to focus. She felt like a current was running through her body. The back of her throat felt parched, and her pussy felt warm, her clit was alive with anticipation, and she could feel the tips of her nipples pressing into her bra. She was getting turned on by this, more turned on than she had in a long time Maybe it was because she hadn't started it, or because she hadn't expected it, but she couldn't quite bring herself to let it end right now. She exhaled slowly, trying to focus her energies, trying to make a plan.

The phone was hard to ignore. it was a direct threat to her. She could manipulate and control minds, but a phone was harder. A phone was technology. But, at the same time, if the images were sent to only everyone in the party... in this house... then maybe she could just control them? have them delete the videos when it was done?

Could she do that? in theory, she'd never tried before...

Did she want to risk it...?

The nervousness which hid in her eyes as she looked at Conner wasn't totally false, Natalie realised. For the first time in a long time, she was unsure if her power would be enough. If Conner only sent it to the party, then she could handle it probably.

But if he sent it to others, or put it online? She'd have no way to get it down again. For the first time in her life, the consequences of using her powers would be seen by people beyond her control...

She might be unable to go back to living a normal life.

The thought sent sparks running through her, the risk screamed through her mind, but only heightened her arousal, making her pussy ache to be touched, and filling her with a sort of nervous bravado which she tapped into as she made her choice.

"Fuck." She said slowly, drawing out the words as she did "You. Conner."

For a minute, Conner looked at her, meeting her eyes, then, he looked down at the screen and then back to Natalie.

"Brave." he said, "I can't believe you're actually going to call me on this. That takes balls. Well, metaphorically at least. Do you just think I'm some bully who is going to back off if you're brave enough? Do you think I won't do it?"

His thumb descended suddenly, and Natalie felt as though her whole world had flashed away to nothing.

"I just did." He said, "That's what you get for not realising how serious it was."

He wasn't lying. As Natalie extended her senses, she could feel the surprise and shock rippling through the party as phones went off one by one. He'd actually done it! Natalie felt horror radiating through her soul, but also a sort of elation and anticipation. Working quickly, she slipped into each mind in turn, reducing empathy and increasing their arousal as they watched the video. It would only last for a little while, but enough for this to play out, however it was going to.

Conner wasn't an exception to this, though she found that he was plenty aroused already, and his empathy pretty low to begin with. Nonetheless, she dialled it down a bit more, and as she did, he looked up. His eyes glinted, hungry, desire thrumming through his body.

"Now let's see about meeting your adoring public, will we?"
