Trying to fix things that aren’t broken

Linda's heart sank as she saw the disappointed expression on Sharon’s face. She didn’t think that her one mistake would be causing her so much trouble. She shouldn’t have tried to push so hard with Rebecca, even if it felt so good at that moment. If Sharon isn’t on her side anymore, then it would be easy for the two of them to kick her out of the house.

“I can’t believe that you had your eyes set on Rebecca the whole time. I thought Rebecca was mistaken when she said you had a crush on me, but she was really only mistaken about who the target was. I thought you were better than this. How could you even attempt to sneak in on my wife in the shower? Do you have any shame?”

Linda grimaced at the accusation but felt hopeful that at least she doesn’t suspect that she had feelings for her. If she could get close to her, then maybe she could salvage the situation.

“You can forget about staying here anymore. Rebecca was right, you can’t be allowed to live here.”

“I’m sorry, I got caught up in the moment. Please forgive me, you’d know I’d never do anything to hurt you. I love you too much for that,” pleaded Linda as she tried to approach Sharon.

Sharon backed away from her and said, “I’m sorry, but you’ve already proven that I can’t trust you in this house. I’ll call mom and ask her if she knows anywhere else you can stay. You should put on some clothes and start packing your things.”

Sharon turned around and started to walk to her room. Linda stared at Sharon’s back and built up her resolve. She wasn’t going to let all the hard work she’d put in slip away as she ran up behind Sharon and hugged her. Sharon didn’t find her touch strange. In fact, she wanted her to touch her even more. However, she didn’t appreciate the fact that she was still completely naked.

“Linda, go put on some clothes. You’re going to catch a cold,” said Sharon with some frustration in her voice.

“No, not until you’ve forgiven me,” said Linda as she pressed her huge tits against her back and allowed her hands to roam across her body.

Sharon made no move to stop her as she responded, “You're not getting off the hook that easily.”

Linda leaned over and got right next to Sharon’s ear as she whispered, “Coconut.”

Despite never using the keyword for her, Sharon immediately sunk into a trance. However, unlike all the other times before Linda could tell that she was in a very weak trance that could easily be broken if she wasn't careful. Linda massaged her shoulders and felt some of the tension in her body disappear as she began to speak.

“Relax and let all your worries fade away. You’re in a safe place where nothing can hurt you.”

“Safe?”

“Yes, a safe place. Listen to the sound of my voice. You love listening to it as everything else fades away. All your worries and problems disappear, and you’re left only hearing the sound of my voice.”

“Voice...”

Linda continues to massage her and says, “Yes, the only thing that matters is the sound of my voice.”

Sharon nods slightly as Linda breathes a sigh of relief that Linda hasn’t already broken the trance.

“You want to forget the bad things that happen to you, right?”

“Forget...”

“Yes, anything that you don’t like should be forgotten. Let me help you forget things that shouldn’t exist in your mind.”

“I don’t know...” said Sharon as she began to tense up.

“Listen to the sound of my voice. You trust my voice more than anything. It’s the only thing that matters. It only exists to help you.”

“Help.”

“You should forget the things the voice wants you to forget. You can trust the voice, after all, it's never wrong.”

“Yes, never wrong.”

“The incident involving Linda is fresh in your mind. That painful memory should go away, so it can’t hurt you anymore.”

“Can’t hurt me anymore,” muttered Sharon as her body relaxed even further.

“Imagine you’re in the kitchen, and the shelves around you are filled with various memories. Can you see them?”

Sharon nods.

“The memory involving Linda getting thrown out of the bathroom and the conversation afterward is shaped in the form of a small cup of black coffee. Can you see it?”

Linda knew that Sharon didn’t like black coffee, so by describing the memory as it. It should help her get rid of it more easily.

“Yes.”

“We don’t need it around anymore. You should just pour it into the sink. Can you see it pouring down the drain and disappearing? At the same time, the memory gets weaker and weaker until there’s nothing left of it.”

“Weaker and weaker,” Sharon says and smiles.

"Let it flow down the drain and disappear."

"Disappear."

Linda smiles knowing that the hardest part is over. However, she is still not out of the woods yet considering that Rebecca is sure to tell her about the event anyway and ruin all of her hard work. She needed Sharon out of the way until she could hypnotize Rebecca again.

“You feel extremely good now that you’ve forgotten about that memory. A weight has been lifted off your shoulders and you feel much better now.”

Sharon doesn’t say anything but just smiles as Linda continues.

“You should completely relax and let yourself drift off to sleep. Nothing’s more important right now except getting the rest that you need. Take all the time you need. Relax and let yourself drift off into dreamland.”

Linda could feel Sharon's body continue to relax and start to fall over. She caught her and placed her on the couch. Hopefully, she stays asleep long enough for her to do what she has to do with Rebecca. The feeling of success didn’t last long as she heard the door to the bathroom open up.
