The Magic of a Kind Word.

Kat looked over Kate and whistled. "Holy shit, doc, you clean up well!" She sauntered past the doctor and looked around. When she saw Joseph kneeling next to Beth, she darted over to them. "Beth!"

"She's... I think I kinda messed her up," he said. Beth was obliviously muttering under her breath. "Kate has a theory on how to fix it, though."

Kate cleared her throat. "Yes. Um, I need to test it first, though. Joseph, please compliment Kat."

Joseph and Kat both looked startled. "Kat, you, um, look nice..." he said weakly.

Kate rolled her eyes. "No, say something nice and mean it. Do you like her breasts?"

"Whoa!" Kat said. "Doc, this is getting kind of weird. How is this gonna help Beth?"

"Answer the question, Joseph."

He stammered. "I mean, yeah. They're great."

Kat gasped. "Ooh, wow, what was that?" She looked at me, a smile forming on her face. "Do it again!"

"Do what again?"

"Say something good about my tits."

Joseph was starting to feel left out, but he obliged. "They're great. Perky, soft, not the biggest but very shapely."

Kate was watching Kat intently. Kat gasped with each superlative as he spoke. "More! Tell me you like my ass!"

He nodded. "I mean, it's your best feature. It's round, firm, just big enough. I assume you put a lot of work into it."

Kat was now bent over and panting. Joseph was alarmed to see tears in her eyes. "That... oh my God, Joe, that feels incredible! I just- whew!"

Kate nodded. "I think we've discovered another aspect of your gift. It appears positive reinforcement has euphoric effects. It's both soothing and energizing."

"No shit!" Kat laughed. "That was- Joseph, I fucking love you. Seriously, that felt like winning the lottery while getting eaten out. You think that'll fix Beth?"

Kate nodded. "I hope so. It's very powerful. Joseph, could you please compliment me?"

He shrugged. "I know I said it before but you look unbelievable in that dress. Like you just stepped off the red carpet into my living room. You are one of the most stunning, beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on."

Kate had fallen back onto the couch, apparently too dizzy to stand under the onslaught of compliments. Her eyes were closed and he tracked a bead of sweat rolling down her long neck into her cleavage. When she reopened them, they were glassy.

"Wow," she said under her breath. "Yeah. That should... I think that will help Beth."
