[Part 5]
A magic wand that vibrates
Edited by A_Little_Show's spouse
Please start with Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. Many events in this chapter won't make any sense unless you know how the characters got here.
Summary so far: Andrea is a witch. She casts her spells by wiggly her clitoris instead of her nose. She's an unrepentant exhibitionist with a particular kink for masturbating in front of crowds. She recaptures some half forgotten thrills vicariously through Elfman's tribulations. She's put him through the wringer multiple times.
Warning: This part includes a brief discussion about hypothetical rape. Nobody is harmed.

"How did you even know It's my birthday?" Andrea asked with a guarded stare at Elfman's sheepish grin.
"It's on your student ID. I saw it when you got us into the rec center."
"What's in the package?" Andrea couldn't recall anyone outside her immediate family ever giving her a birthday present. The last time had been years ago.
Elfman brandished a brown cardboard Amazon Prime box. "Open it and see," he suggested. "There's just one thing," he amended, "If you don't like it or are offended, don't turn me into a frog - maybe a dog or a dragon - not a frog."
"Ha-ha." Andrea groaned. "Right now I'm hungry. If I could turn you into anything, it would be into someone who buys me dinner instead of handing me mail bombs."
Elfman shrugged is shoulders while he loomed over her thrusting the package at her. She accepted the offering and asked, "Should I open it now?"
"Yes, please." Elfman grinned. "Oh, but let me take a picture of your candid reaction." He started fishing for his phone in a pocket.
Andrea already felt guilty for embarrassing Elfman so many times - so many more times than he even remembered. She felt guilty for enjoying every minute of it. Then, to do something like this - buy her a birthday present. After weeks of playing with him, she didn't even know his real name until that moment when she read the mailing label.
A black lacquered fingernail poked a hole in the packing tape and ripped open the box.
Elfman crouched getting a better angle to her bowed head while she examined the contents.
"A magic wand?" Andrea lifted the shrink wrapped inner package. The box art depicted a magician and his scantily clad assistant with sparks flying from the magician's wand.
"Keep going!" Elfman sounded excited.
She brushed the cardboard shipping box and packing material from her bed to the floor. She slid a styrofoam encased object from the box.
Elfman asked, "Do you like it?"
"I still don't know what it is." Andrea looked straight into the camera. "Stop recording this and tell me what's going on here."
Elfman deflated. He sat beside her on the edge of her bed with his hip touching hers. "I thought you might like to play with it. You know, it fits into your exhibitionist fantasies. Right? Like, the way you had me strip you at the lawn party instead of doing it yourself. Didn't you say it was hotter that way?"
"I still don't get it."
"It's a remote control vibrator. You see, on the handle of the wand, there are speed settings. It communicates with this part." Elfman lifted a pill shaped shiny metal object the size of her pinky finger. "You see, there are these clips, and you wear it inside your panties."
"Why?"
Elfman's face sank. "I thought you would like it." A silence stretched. "I wanted to give you pleasure like when you told me to strip you." He seemed so earnest.
"So, it's a vibrator that you control? You control my orgasms?"
"Sort of like that," he acknowledged. "You don't like it?"
"Isn't a gift like this a little presumptuous?" Andrea's emotion couldn't be read. It wasn't anger.
"Yes, I see that now." Elfman inhaled. "I'm sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry." Andrea produced a charitable smile.
Elfman tried, "remember when you said - if people don't want to see you naked through the window, they shouldn't be looking through the window. You said it was all on them."
"OK. Where are you going with this?"
"I really enjoy watching you. Your um - pleasure, turns me on more that anything. It blows my mind - it's so exciting. I thought, you know, you would like if it it was 'all on me'."
"You just put your finger on one of the problems with your gift. Don't you see? I still control what people can see when I prance around this room naked. Other people only control whether to look. It's good for me because I want them to WANT to look. I want them to want me. But, I still control what they see."
"What are the other problems?"
"I shouldn't have to explain myself to you, Elfman." Her lips twisted with a hint of anguish. "But I will. I'll let you even deeper into my world - the Universe only knows why though." She sighed and continued, "You know better than anyone but me how much awesome comic power I wield. My," She made air quotes and said, "um - pleasure, as you say - is the key to my spells. I can't give up control over that. I can't trust it to a lover. If I let you control my - me - you would be my lover." She held up a hand to halt whatever Elfman tried to say. "Yes. It would make you my lover. Is sliding your penis into me really what makes the difference? No! It's about giving up control. It's about being vulnerable. Lovers are vulnerable to each other."
"I'm vulnerable to you." Elfman didn't lie.
"I'd say I'm sorry for that," Andrea soothed, "but, I'm not really sorry. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you are my toy. You have been a fabulous toy."
"Are you done with me?" Elfman was crestfallen. "Will I remember any of this?"
"I have to confess." Andrea's face screwed up into a sour lemon expression. "I don't think I could make you forget anymore if I tried. I fear - if I push the universe too hard for something like that, she'll just kill you or worse. I mean, at this point, how plausible is it that you'd just forget everything from the last few weeks. You'd have to have major head trauma - at least." Andrea tilted her head against Elfman's shoulder. "I'm the one who's sorry. I should never have pulled you so far into it."
"You made hundreds of people forget the lawn party, and somehow you deleted all of the photographic evidence. Nobody died."
Andrea sighed again. "Are you trying to talk me into making you forget?"
"No." Elfman conceded.
"As it happens," Andrea explained, "I learned a few things about the aftermath of the lawn party."
"What?"
"Ambulances were called. Some people were hospitalized. Someone spiked the beer with bath salts or molly or whatever. They were all paranoid and suggestible. That DJ - he turned out to be kind of cult leader. He talked people into smashing 'electronic surveillance devices'. I probably don't have the details right. Some people ran away with him and haven't returned. The university police have been keeping it all hush hush. At least, that's what I heard."
"You did that?"
"I didn't do it specifically! I gave into my lust and cast one of the most powerful spells of my life. It's up to the universe to find a way. I knew deep down I shouldn't demand so much from Fate. I'm her daughter, and she's not above punishing me."
"Can you get those people back?"
"No."
"Have you tried?"
"You try masturbating over guilt for something like that and see how strong your orgasm is. That's if you can even have one."
Elfman perked up. "That's it though! Don't you see? You can't masturbate to guilt!"
"Huh? You've lost me again."
"Listen, you can keep you mind free or fantasize about something sexy. Don't think about guilt if you can help it. Get yourself so worked up that you're almost there."
"And? What does that accomplish?"
