“Are you deep, deep down Dawn?” I asked and Dawn nodded her head slowly, her eyes wide and vacant.

I smiled to myself, bout time!

Dawn was, well, the uber bitch of the condo. She pranced around the place like she owned it, giving the men tents in their pants, and twisting the women’s panties into knots.

Everyone knew she was a stripper, or had been, or maybe an escort, though she never seemed to bring anyone to the building so that seemed unlikely. But what everyone knew even more than that, was that she was making life hell since she’d moved in a year ago.

Always complaining to the board, or complaining about the board, demanding changes to the rules to suit her, or demanding changes to punish others.

Personally I’d just avoided her, I kept to myself mostly in the penthouse and let the others deal with dawn.

However a few people in the building know of my… talent, and when it became apparent to them that Dawn wasn’t going away or mellowing out, several of them approached me to help out.

Normally I would have declined, but I live here too and it seemed prudent to keep thing civil with by neighbours, so I’d agreed.

Hypnotism isn’t a science, it’s an art, with each subject being different. It had taken me a while to get Dawn to the point where she’d accept more than pleasantries as we passed in the lobby or the mail room. It had taken even longer to get under her defensive shell she kept up in public.

But I had time and patience, so slowly but surely, I chipped away until… success!

“Alright Dawn, I’m going to ask you a few questions. They’re perfectly normal questions, nothing out of the ordinary, and you’re going to answer them honestly and completely. After all, you trust me very, very deeply don’t you?”

Dawn let out a little gasp and then softly spoke, “Yes… trust you deeply…”

“Alright Dawn, let’s get started. Are you a stripper?”

Her head nodded side to side a little, “No…”

“Were you a stripper?”

Her head nodded up and down, “Yes…”

“Alright, why did you retire from being a stripper?”

A little smile crossed her lips, “Got some dirt on one of my sugar daddies… made him pay through the nose…”

Well that wasn’t surprising, “And why do you treat all the other residents of the condo so poorly?”

“They’re just sheeple… not like me… beneath me…”

Again, no surprise there, just another entitled “beautiful person”.

“Alright Dawn, now you trust me deeply don’t you?”

I watched her body shiver a little as her head nodded, “Trust you deeeeeeeeply…”

“Good, so I have some things to tell you. Some true things. Things that are so true that you don’t even question the truth of them, understand?”

Dawn nodded in agreement, her lips parting slightly and her eyes defocusing even more if that was possible.

“Now then, yes the people in the condo are sheeple, no argument there, but you’ve misjudged your own importance. If they’re sheeple, you’re just an outright sheep, not even a person at all. Just a dumb blonde sheep that agrees with everyone else, just goes along with whatever the flock does and thinks. Not a single independent thought in your head.”

Dawn closed her eyes for a moment and her body quivered before she opened them again.

“Your easy to get along with, eager to please, you just want to make everyone happy.”

Dawn nodded her head again and a slight smile crossed her lips.

“You did’t really ‘retire’ from being a stripper, once a stripper, always a stripper, right?”

“Yes.. always a stripper…”

“Instead of retiring, you’re just more exclusive with your clients. They’re a special, select group of men and women, that all happen to live in this condo. That’s why you moved here, to make it easier to strip for them.”

Dawn’s lower lips quivered and her eyes narrowed a little.

“That’s right, you’re condo is your strip club now. A very special club that only those that know the passphrase can get into. They come to your door and knock, then they say the passphrase when you open the it, ‘play to dusk, strip to dawn’.”

“… play… strip… dusk… dawn…”

“That’s right. You’ll take them into your living room, get them comfortable on the couch, turn on some nice music, then give them a nice lap dance as you strip. You’ll be very eager to please them, willing to do pretty much anything they want. They might want to take their dick out and slide it between your tits, or maybe have you suck on it a bit, or maybe the women will want you to lick their pussies, it’s all good, as long as they’re happy.”

“…happy…” Dawn mumbled.

“Some of them might even want to see your bedroom, want to see you face down ass up, so they can slide their dicks into that tight little pussy of yours. You’ll be happy to do so of course, eager to make them happy.”

I could see Dawn’s head spinning around and around in her skull as the suggestions took hold, so I paused for a moment to let things settle down for her a bit.

When the vacant stare returned I decided it was time to finish up.

“And one last thing Dawn, that nice man that was your sugar daddy, the one you had the horrible, nasty blackmail information on? Well it’s time for you to destroy that nasty stuff and send him proof that you did it so he doesn’t have to worry about it any more. I’m sure that will make him very happy.”

Dawn shivered and gasped and when it passed I held my hand up in front of her and snapped my fingers. She blinked several times and looked around, a little confused.

“Ugh.. what?” she stuttered unsure of what was happening.

“I was just saying it’s great how you’re fitting into our little community here Dawn.” I said with a smile.

“Oh, uhm, yeah, right. Thanks. I… I have to go, see you later?” she said as she looked from side to side and then started heading towards the elevator.

“Sure thing Dawn… nothing would make me happier.”

She stopped dead in her tracks and her whole body shuttered, “Great! Can’t wait!” she replied cheerfully without turning around, but before starting to walk again.

I watched her ass wiggle it’s way to the elevator and wondered who I should give the passphrase too first… or if I should keep it to myself for a while.

A grin from ear to ear crossed my face, there was no rush, perhaps I’d pay Dawn a visit later tonight and see if she was any good at stripping or not.
