"Are you sure that he has been released?", Giles asked the worried girl.
"No, I can barely remember anything, neither can Tara, but we found the spell on the floor of our room, and people on our floor said they saw a man leaving our room this morning. He fit Mesmotto's description.", Willow admitted, ashamed.
"Is there anything you do remember?"
"Well...one thing, but it's kind of...embarrassing"
"Xander, will you excuse us", Giles said as he took the girls into the back room.
Willow began, "I don't know where we were, but we were definitely all dolled up, and all "revved" up, if you know what I mean". This was awkward for Willow, Giles was like her father. Not someone she wanted to talk about this stuff with, "not just for each other though, we were more into... him."
"Who?"
"Mesmotto. He was in our minds. It was like we were his little sex toys. He had us make love to each other while he watched. It was so hot. I just
remember licking Tara up and down. She was dripping. I couldn't wait for her to cum...", Willow said, obviously reliving it in her mind in great detail.
"Willow please, I get the point", Giles said, even he was flushed.
"Sorry, the weird thing was, what was turning me on so much wasn't Tara, it was pleasing Mesmotto, obeying him. I loved to obey him, to serve him. I need to obey him, Oh gawd, I need him now, I must serve my master!", Willow screamed. She was worked up into some kind of sexual frenzy. Giles looked over to
see that Tara was rubbing herself too.
"Yess, I must obey him, I must serve Mesmotto. I need to obey Mesmotto! He is the only one who can bring me the bliss I crave!"
"One, two, three, awake!", Giles commanded as he snapped his fingers. The girls stopped their masturbation and looked at him. They were obviously confused.
"We are still kind of under his power, aren't we?", Willow asked, afraid.
"I'm afraid so. We need to find out more about what we have on our hands. Can you girls keep your hands off each other long enough to help with some research?"

 

A few hours later, Giles announced his findings.
"It appears that when you released Mesmotto, he became a member of the netherworld, existing in our world. What that means is, he has all the power he had in the netherworld. He is not mortal any longer."
"What powers do you think he had?", Willow asked.
"Well, usually spirits in the netherworld experience an augmentation of their mortal skills and talents, sometimes up to tenfold. Their desires and obsessions become greater as well. What that means
in this case I'm not sure. I would guess that Mesmotto's hypnotic powers have greatly increased, perhaps to the point of some sort of telepathy. His obsession for women, wealth, power, and luxury has probably increased as well. Perhaps these can be clues to finding him.", Giles informed the team.
"Sounds like it is time to bring Buffy in on this", Xander announced.

"I'm not so sure that is such a wise idea", Giles warned.
"Why, she's traditionally been the best at slaying unwanted guys from other dimensions", Xander contested.
"Yes, she's very powerful. That, however, is exactly why Mesmotto would want to possess her."
"Buffy would be too strong for that creep!"
"Physically, yes. Mentally, it is not worth the risk."

 

"Will, I need to talk to you for a minute", Tara said as she put on her coat. She looked worried, so Willow wasted no time, "let's go in back", she said. As the girls stepped into the backroom, Tara let go.
"It's too much for me Will, I need him! I'm so turned on I can't even concentrate. I need to serve him. I want you to come with me. I know you feel it too! We can bring him Buffy! He will be soo pleased. His approval will bring us pleasure like we've never known. You know it's true!", Tara pleaded.
"Ta, I know what your feeling, and yes, I'm feeling it too. But we can't bring him Buffy! We shouldn't even go to him ourselves.", Willow warned.
"It will be the greatest thing we could ever do for Buffy. You know how good it felt to serve him, to relish in his hypnotic power. Can you imagine how it would be to have him hypnotizing you over and over, in every different way imaginable?", Tara said. She knew she was making Willow wet.

"I-I don't know Tara. I think we should talk with Giles, I - I don't know what I am thinking right now."
"Then don't think right now, Will, let your heart do the thinking for you. Your heart, or your pussy"
"I don't know, I---"
"Look, you don't have to deliver Buffy to him, I can do that, all you have to do is tell me where she will be tonight. That little piece of information will make Mesmotto sooo happy. You want to make him happy don't you?"
"She'll be on patrol, the Central St. Cemetery", Willow admitted. It did feel good, though she knew it shouldn't.
"Thank you my love, he'll be so pleased.", Tara said, elated. She then marched back into the main room of the Magic shop where the others were still researching.
"See you later suckers, I'm going to deliver your little slayer to my master. And there is nothing you can do to stop me!", she said, before dashing out.

"Tara - No!", Giles yelled, but it was too late. She was gone.
"Apparently, I have underestimated the power this Mesmotto has. Willow, are you sure you are not affected in the same way?", Giles asked, though he knew the answer.
"No", Willow answered. She hoped that they would concentrate on her instead of chasing after Tara. She was secretly praying that Tara would succeed.
