Abandoned World: The Awakening

Therefore, the eighth step was the regolith converted into helium-3. This really important discovery was a colorful part of the overall concept, because the new step should have been announced by now. It had been twenty-two years since everyone had woken up… Natalie's discovery was just in time. And then a new request was formed: a fusion reactor. Compact and much more powerful than the nuclear reactor used on Apollo 24. This would be step nine.

Peyton couldn't be pleased with his achievements in controlling the mass consciousness. It was beginning to work for himself. He didn't have to invent anything — everything went on as usual. And why? Because he had once invented the 24 steps. He invented it, not someone else. And he came up with it when he needed an explanation. It's not random. Everything works by design. His design. And that's why everything works. It works, it doesn't fall apart. Without him, this world would be chaos. Uncontrollable, destructive chaos. Who wants that? No one… And yet he was the only one who could resist it… Create his own theory. A world to believe in and be sure you're doing it right. He's the one who gave them that world.

Peyton paced the room once more and thought that there was someone he was missing here right now. Usually, though, that someone was needed in the evening, and she consistently showed up when he wanted her to, but now he really wanted to see her without waiting for something. He wasn't a young man after all, and he might not always have the strength that gave him such strength. Strength to argue, strength to prove things, strength to be himself in this ambiguous world.

He walked over to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed a number:

— Delhi, will you come to my place?

He liked to ask. Everything he wanted from her, he liked to ask, not to order. To him, the orderly manner seemed flawed, showing at once the weakness of his position. After all, this is the position of brute force, that is, the force when you already know that you will not be refused. They won't want to refuse you. They won't dare to refuse. What is the advantage of speaking from this position?

But with a kind question, you can show that you appreciate the other person's position. Even if that position doesn't exist. You still show that you value it as if it were there. And that gets respect. People want to do things, not be forced to do them. After all, they have a visible opportunity to say no… But they don't. They agree, and thereby show the voluntariness of the action… No, only fools would openly coerce in a situation where some freedom can be shown.

And the Delaney he called. Yes, of course, she no longer had any choice. She was about twenty years younger than him, and slept with him when he wanted her to. And she slept the way he wanted her to. And his tastes sometimes changed. And each time he asked if she wanted to try something new. Something new. New sensations. A new experience. Something that she could remember with interest and not blame herself for being indecisive in her time. After all, he's only suggesting. He's not forcing her, he's asking her permission. Permission to do anything.

To have her when he wants her, not her. He asks her permission. To have her in his mouth every time. And that's what he asks. And he asks it every time. And he asks it very delicately. With the phrase "do you want to give me a blowjob in the beginning?". Peyton has never broken his rule. When he wanted to cum in her mouth, he'd ask her, "You're not gonna stop, are you?" And when he didn't want to, he'd ask her, "Can you stop for a minute?"

And every time, it was just the way he wanted it. She either kept going or stopped. Just the way he wanted it. And then she'd get into the positions he liked. And then she'd do it just the way he liked it. And everything was achieved with only questions, which could be answered the way she wanted, not him. But she always answered exactly the way he wanted her to.

That's where the power is. When they want to do what you want them to do. Even if they have a choice, they still want to do what you want. And they might even beg you to do it. That's what happened to Delaney. She started begging me to start with a blow job once. And she was begging for it. Maybe it was because he didn't know how he wanted it at the time. Maybe it was that. Or maybe it was the fact that in those days he started to think about looking for someone else… He had someone else in mind. He didn't yet understand how ready she was for something frank, or how she would do it, so he hesitated… Apparently so hesitant that Delaney noticed it. I guess she got worried. And so she started talking him into it that time. And it worked, didn't it? Once she did, he forgot all about the other candidate. That's where the voluntary choice comes in. Where you can lose something. That's where it proves how valuable the right choice is. The same one they made all those previous times.
