Two days later, another dose

How much stronger could this stuff get?

Two days later you find out. You make sure to pour out the remaining liquid in the thermos into three equal parts. You chug another one of your doses of Alpha Essence and head off to start the day. The moment you enter the living room, all your family's eyes are on you.

"Good morning," say your mother and sisters in unison.

Okay, not creepy at all, you think.

"Hi guys. Wow, I must have slept in. I'm so hungry."

In an instant your mother jumps to her feet.

"I'll get you some breakfast, dear!"

Lisa hasn't made you breakfast since you were little. You get your own food these days. Being treated like this makes you feel spoiled. You thank her and plonk yourself on the couch. Within moments your sisters move closer and sit down on either side of you. Crystal plays with a strand of your hair. Her eyes are half-lidded.

Of course, you remember. You had switched her doses with water. So she must think you're madly in love with her. Best to play along till you've had the full treatment.

"Hey, Crystal. You look really nice today. Did you change your hair?"

"Thank you," she purrs. "I'm trying something new. I knew you'd love it."

Sarah butts in. "What about me? How do I look, big brother?"

Crystal frowns but doesn't say anything.

"You look good, Sarah." You mean it too.

Crystal takes your chin and moves it back to her.

"How do I make you feel?"

She looks deep into your eyes like she's trying to hypnotise you. She probably believes she already has. You struggle to answer her. Your mouth opens but nothing comes out. Crystal lifts a finger from your chin and moves it to your lips.

Just then your mother comes back from the kitchen with a tray of food. Milk, two hard-boiled eggs, and a banana. Crystal peels the banana and holds it in front of your mouth. You thank her and try to take it from her but she sticks it in your mouth.

"That's ok. I'll hold it for you. Suck on it," she says.

You do as she says. It's easy at first but then Crystal shoves more and more of it into you until you're deep-throating the whole piece of fruit. She licks her lips and takes it back out.

"Well done, bro. You're talented."

You blush and thank her for the compliment.

Sarah and Lisa are both staring at you. They each pick up an egg.

"Try these. Suck on them."

You try to bite one but they won't let you so you lick at the eggs instead. They grin mischievously. Then Lisa pushes one into your mouth and you gulp at the intrusion. As you slowly chew you look around. Each woman has a hungry stare but they're not interested in your food. Sarah grabs the banana and dips the tip in the glass of milk. You tell her you can feed yourself but she points out that you let the others feed you. So why not her? You can't argue with that. You suck the white liquid from the tip. Your family groans and you realise what's happening.
