Grace Carter was at a loss. The very fact that she was in a situation she couldn't immediately think her way out of was a surprise in itself. At age 20, Grace was one of the youngest PhD candidates in the country with a scholarship at a prestigious Ivy League college. She had literally raced through high school with test results off the charts and a run of perfect As. This trend had continued in her bachelors in Philosophy and her Masters in Psychology and now she was a bright young researcher headed for greatness.
Except for one small matter, money. Her grant only covered tuition, not living expenses and her parents could no longer support her now that grandpa had to go into care. It looked like, no matter how unpleasant a thought, Grace really needed to get a job. What a nightmare to be thus distracted from her research for her dissertation, likely by a job that did not engage her mind.
As Grace scanned the notice board, she saw something interesting. A psychology professor was looking for a research assistant. The requirements were someone with a prior degree in psychology, ideally PhD calibre. That was her! The name was familiar. Grace closed her eyes to remember where she had heard it before. Yes, two of her fellows had talked about him, his stellar reputation in cutting edge human behavior modification and neuroscience. He was one the university's most published and most renowned lecturers, having written a number of classic text books in his field. His reputation as a scholar was impeccable and yet he was generally regarded as an unusual, eccentric genius that intimidated most people.
Likely he was only a perfectionist with high standards, such as Grace herself. She could cope with that, indeed enjoyed working with people who challenged her mind and pushed her towards excellence. He sounded perfect for her, actually, as most people bored her with their ready acceptance of mediocracy. Grace wrote down the email adress and requirements. The deadline was today, so she had to hurry.
She took a seat on one of the benches in the university gardens, pulling out her trusty ipad with its extra keyboard. She had her CV on there and it did not take her long to adjust it slightly to emphasise how she met his criteria. Another 10 minutes and she had the coverletter complete, sending an email application off, giving him her phone number and email address to contact.
Done. Grace took a deep breath, taking a moment to feel the warm sun on her gorgeous face. Noone would have known that she was a bona fide genius from the way she looked. Her long, wavy blonde hair and deep green eyes, high cheekbones and full lips reminded of a classically beautiful porcellain doll. Her figure would have been that of a cheerleader, a beautiful hourglass, except for her breasts, which were too large to fare well in any sporty activities, easily turning her from delicate doll to red-blooded man's wet dream. Grace did her best to hide her 34Fs under blouses and cardigans and yet they did seem to have a mind of their own, straining against the fabric of her blouse, which protested at the disproportionate distribution of weight.
Her body was made for sin, the nuns had often said to her, admonishing her to pray frequently to save her from eternal damnation. Her parents had raised her as a good Christian girl of high moral values and the nuns of her school had done the rest in instilling the fear of God in her, especially around boys and sex. "Beauty is a curse and a test for the wicked", they had said, criticising any remotely sensual expression of the girl. She had been determined to resist temptation, something she apparantly found much easier than her fiancee Tod did.
They had met at a church camp, both pious and devoted to their faith. He was a fellow scholar who was currently completing his PhD in marine biology at Yale, their interest in the sciences and their faith indicating a compatibility that had naturally led to him proposing to her a few months after they met. They had been dating for over 2 years now, waiting to get married until Tod had completed his thesis and gotten tenure and thus an income with which to provide for their small family.
Naturally, Grace had made it clear that she wanted to wait to become intimate until after they were married, something Tod had readily agreed to in words but had tried to push her on on a few occasions after a number of glasses of wine.
Due to the distance between them they could only see each other once every few months, however they spoke on the phone or on skype at least twice a week, sharing their experiences and thoughts with companionable support if not enthusiasm.
Grace's phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
"Grace Carter", she answered in her melodic, feminine voice.
"Hello, Miss Carter. You have submitted an application for a research assistant position with me earlier. I would like to see you for an interview to assess your suitability. How would tomorrow at 2pm sound", a deep male voice asked matter of factly.
"That would be perfect. Would this be in your office", Grace enquired excitedly, knowing that such a quick response had to be a good sign.
"Yes. Just to let you know I am currently working quite a bit with Hypnosis. Part of your duties would be to act as a test subject for this. I trust this would not be an issue", he asked almost indifferently.
"I am not sure how comfortable I would be being hypnotised or if I even could be", Grace responded hesitantly.
The disappointment in his voice was palpable as his tone cooled significantly.
"What a pity, Miss Carter. That would be a crucial aspect of this position. Never mind, I wish you the very best", he said, about to hang up when she quickly called out. "Please wait. I am sure it would be fine. It would be for research purposes, right? Anything for science", she added with a small laugh.
"I will see you at 2pm tomorrow then", he responded before he put the phone down abrubtly.
Hypnosis? Was that even real? She would find out tomorrow.

After a good night's sleep and a productive day working on her thesis, Grace got ready for her interview, dressing in a conservative black ankle length skirt, white blouse and striped, wooly cardigan. She had a thing about matching underwear, maybe just another expression of her exceptional control-freakism, but today she decided on a pretty white lacy matching set of bra and briefs. Paired with some sensible heels, Grace managed to look like a pornstar or a librarian, depending on the perspective of the observer and his or her imagination.
It was 5 minutes to 2 when she arrived at his office, taking a seat just outside on a sturdy wooden bench, her heart beating fast. She was a little nervous, both about getting this job, which she clearly needed desperately and the hypnosis she mentioned. She was fairly certain she wouldnt be able to be hypnotised anyways, but just the thought of temporarily loosing control freaked her out a little.
At exactly 2pm, she knocked on the office door, his deep voice bidding her to enter.
