The Erotic Mind-Control Story Archive

Hot Pursuit

In October, 2009, Retta invited all of us MC Erotica authors to write stories with a video game theme. This was one of two entries I made to that contest. The other one will be published within the next couple of weeks. This is an adult story, and as such it should be read by adults, preferably those old enough to remember this video game when it was out in the arcade, but that’s not an absolute requirement, especially considering that that would put you in your thirties. I guess age 18 and up would be sufficient. This is a work of fiction, and as such, any similarities between any real people, past or present, is completely coincidental. I appreciate commentary and criticism. My e-mail address is .

Bruce glanced down at his watch and sighed. “They’re not late yet,” he mumbled as he glanced up at the glass structure he had built on this otherwise unused patch of land. He took no chances: between the wooded area, the stream, and the distance from campus, he was fairly certain that no one would find it accidentally. He only hoped that it wasn’t so well hidden that nobody else could find it either.

He glanced at the photos of the structure and smiled. It hadn’t been easy, but it looked more or less like he wanted. Now he just had to wait for his friends to come and test it out.

He glanced at his watch again. “They said they’d show up,” he said to himself as he started to pace across the dew-covered grass. The sun was starting to shine over the treetops. A beautiful day.

He started to walk towards the dirt path that led to this point, hoping that his friends hadn’t gotten lost. A few hundred feet away, two figures were slowly moving towards him. He smiled as the faces of Cheri and Mary started to come into view. Both women were dressed comfortably, and he appreciated that they had heeded his advice.

He restrained himself from hugging both women, thinking it might be a bit inappropriate to express anything more than friendship with them. That’ll come in due time, if everything works out, he thought. Instead, he said, somewhat meekly, “You guys have no idea how much your coming by to help me out with this ... well, just know that I really appreciate it.”

““So what is this big project you’re working on now?” Mary asked him, using a mockingly deep voice with the words ‘big project.’

Bruce laughed. “Let’s just wait for the others, if you don’t mind. I don’t want to explain this more than once.”

Cheri added, “And I don’t want to listen more than once.”

“Are we the first ones here?” Mary asked.

“Yes. I don’t suppose you saw the others?”

“No, but...” She pointed towards the wooded area. In the distance, she could see the silhouette of two more people. Obviously women but she couldn’t tell who they were. “How many people did you invite?”

“If that’s who I think it is, one more person after these two.”

As the two women came closer, Cheri giggled. “I didn’t know you knew Terri! How are you, girlfriend?”

Terri smiled. “Great! Glad to see you guys here. Carrie and I ran into each other on the way here and, well, we both realized we were coming to the same place, so...”

“Thank you both for coming,” Bruce clumsily forced his way into the conversation.

“Oh, hell, Bruce,” Carrie chided him. “I’ve known you for what? Ten years now? Longer than these three girls have, and, well, if you say you’ve come up with the next great idea, I want to be part of it from the start.”

“She’s right,” Mary added. “I may not’ve known you that long, but I do know you’ve got greatness flowing through your veins.”

Bruce started to blush. He kicked up some dirt, looked down, and said, “Thanks.”

“So what is this?” asked Terri.

“He wont tell us until we’re all here,” Mary answered, half jokingly.

“Who’re we still waiting on?”

Bruce pointed towards one of the other side paths. “Him.”

Harry wiped his brow and took a swig of water from his canteen as he marched straight to the four women and to Bruce. “What’s goin’ on, bro?”

“Just the best party of all time, man. Here. Let me bring you to my latest idea.”

He led the four women and Harry back towards his glass structure.

Carrie suppressed a gasp as she stared up at the glass enclosure that towered above all of them.

Mary’s voice cracked as she asked, “Wh- what is this?”

Bruce reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the aerial photos of the structure. He handed one to each of his friends.

Harry squinted at the picture and remarked, “This ... looks like a giant Pac-Man maze.”

The looks on everyone’s faces made Bruce thankful for having rented the helicopter for an hour so that he could get those pictures.

“Exactly. It’s not quite the same as what they used in Pac-Man, since that’s a registered trademark of Namco and I wasn’t able to procure the rights to using the exact image.”

“Or rather,” taunted Terri, “you didn’t try to.”

“Touche, but I couldn’t have made the exact same maze. One thing that’s missing from this maze is a way of teleporting from one side to another. You know. The technology kind of ... well, it’s um... it doesn’t exist. So I knew it’d be different enough from the start.”

“Are you suggesting,” asked Cheri, tentatively, “That you want us to be ... human ghosts in a giant game of Pac-Man?”

Mary smiled, “It sounds like fun. How does it work?”

“Well, it’s really pretty simple, actually.” Bruce pointed at the large structure behind him. “Harry will be the Pac-Man, if you would. Instead of eating the little dots in there, he’ll step on them. Once he steps on all of the dots, that round is over and you move on to the next round and try again. You girls will try to catch him. There’s four big dots near the corners. When he steps on those dots, he can come after you.” Seeing the look on Terri’s face, he said, calmly, “Don’t worry. You won’t actually turn blue.”

Terri let out a sound that was a cross between a sigh and a giggle.

“A few other rules, if you don’t mind. Of the five of you, only Harry is permitted to change direction on the fly. Girls, you’ve can only turn left and right when you get to a place that would let you do it. The only exception to that rule is when Harry activates one of the big dots. When he does that, you can reverse direction, but only at the moment you learn of it. It’s your decision as to whether you want to or not.”

Everyone nodded their head, recognizing that this was technically how the video game worked.

“The walls are made of glass, so you can see where everyone is. One bit of feedback I’d appreciate is with regard to the glass itself. I don’t want anyone hurting themselves, so I gave it a slight opacity. If that makes it too hard to see everything around you, please let me know. And, although I can’t really enforce this, the game will play much more smoothly if you don’t try to talk to each other.”

Mary asked, “How will we know if Harry stomps one of the big dots. Or for that matter, if someone gets him in the maze? Or when he completes a round?”

“Good questions, Mary.” He reached into his bag and pulled out four sets of oversized headphones. He handed the red set to Cheri, the pink set to Terri, the light blue set to Carrie, and the orange set to Mary. “These match the colors of the four ghosts. With these headsets, I’ll be able to communicate with you. And when Harry steps on a big dot, they’re already pre-programmed to tell you how long you’ll be vulnerable for. If Harry gets you while you’re vulnerable, you’ve got to go back to your starting point. I’ll tell you when it’s safe to rejoin the chase.”

Terri smiled broadly. “This really sounds like fun!”

“I sure hope it is.” Bruce reached into his bag once more, and handed Harry what looked like a pair of galoshes. “Put these on. This is how you can step on the dots but the girls, when they step on them, won’t do anything.”

Harry bent over to put on the added footwear.

“Looks like you’re all pretty much ready to go. Here’s hoping this’ll be the next great craze.”

Bruce held up one of the photos, pointing to a spot roughly where the Pac-Man in the original video game would begin each round or resume play after being captured by one of the ghosts. “Harry, you’ll start here.” Pointing to a nearly enclosed space in the center, he continued, “Terri, Carrie, and Mary, you’ll start inside there, and Cheri will start right outside of this area. When a round begins, only Cheri will be permitted to chase after Harry. I’ll cue the other three of you when you can leave the enclosure. Got it?”

“Yes!” All five of them responded quickly.

“Any questions?”

“Yeah. How many lives do I get?” Harry asked.

“I was planning on going with five to begin with. Do you guys have any objections?”

Harry and the four “ghosts” shook their heads.

“Any other questions?”

“Um, how do we get in?” asked Terri.

He escorted the five of them to a a spot in the exterior wall that seemed by and large no different from any other part of the maze. He reached for a doorknob that blended in with the rest of the wall and opened the door with a sweeping gesture. The girls filed in through the door.

“The game will start in two minutes. Please get to your places quickly. You’ll know that it’s ready to begin when the lights in the walls start to flash. You’ll probably be reminded of the maze in the original Pac-Man game at the start and end of each round, or at least, that’s what I’m hoping for.”

Harry turned to face Bruce once all four women were inside the maze. “Did you do it?”

“I think so. I wouldn’t have asked you to try it out if I hadn’t done it. The power is definitely in their helmets.”

“Here’s hoping it works!”

“Here’s hoping. Well, have a good time and let me know if you can think of any way of improving it.”

“I will!” Harry strode casually through the door and jogged towards his starting point. Bruce closed the door and backed away from the entrance.

Reaching into his bag, he pulled out a small laptop computer and tapped a few keys on it. In relatively short time, he saw a composite picture of all of the goings-on within the maze, created by twenty cameras strategically placed around the maze. The four women were chatting amiably and Harry was stretching. He smiled as he typed a few commands into his computer.

“All right, guys,” he whispered to his computer, “the game’s about to ... begin!” With the final word, he pressed a key on his computer. The maze started to glow, the colors moving back and forth between a blue and a red. Some of the colors on the screen were visible through the entire structure. The colors gave the location an otherworldly effect. Bruce again was thankful for the remoteness of this location, but he still worried that the structure might be seen by someone else.

Harry had started to move quickly through the maze, stomping on all of the small dots and clearly saving the big dots for closer to the end of the game.

* * *

Cheri was surprised when she heard a low sound in her ears. It sounded almost like the sound the old video game made every time Pac-Man ate one of the dots. She squinted her eyes and tried to ignore the sounds she was hearing. She envisioned herself telling Bruce that, if that was the best he could do to distract her, then his best really wasn’t all that good.

She rounded a corner and saw Harry walking quickly across the lane she was in. For where he was, she mused, she wouldn’t be able to catch up with him, so she moved somewhat closer to him and turned in the same direction as he was moving.

After she rounded the next corner, she wondered if any of the others were allowed to start out yet. Her question was almost immediately answered when she saw Terri moving away from where Harry was headed.

Seeing one of her fellow ghosts move by, she wondered what would happen if they caught up with one another. In the video game, they could literally move through each other. She made a mental note to either find out firsthand or ask Bruce when they got out.

Rounding another corner, Cheri saw Harry, moving straight towards her. She smiled broadly and tried to make a beeline for him. His eyes widened as he saw her. For a split second, she thought she saw a twinkle in his eye and an unusual grin on his face as he turned to his right, her left and behind the glass wall ten feet away.

About two seconds after he turned away from her, she felt a strange sensation. To categorize it as arousal or horniness was both accurate and misleading. More than anything else, it was shocking in its suddenness and strength. She let out a gasp and almost didn’t hear the disembodied voice coming through her headphones. “A large dot has been activated. Ghosts are now vulnerable.”

Trying to distract herself from the sensation she just felt, she said out loud, “You’re not kidding, I’m feeling vulnerable.”

Harry came back into her line of sight. She slipped and nearly fell as she turned to move away from him. As she tried to right herself, she felt his hand on her shoulder. Bruce’s voice came through her headphones. “Cheri, you’ve been caught. Please return to your home base, and remove one article of clothing. I’ll tell you when you may safely return to the maze.”

She didn’t stop to think that Bruce had asked anything unusual of her, and so she did as she was told.

Once inside her home base, she quickly peeled off her T-shirt. As she let it fall to the ground, Mary and Carrie came in together. There was a strange look in their eyes, but she figured that they were just having fun, too. Bruce’s voice came through her headphones one more time: “All right, Cheri. You may return to the chase.”

She strode wordlessly back into the maze, looking both ways as she re-entered the maze. She walked with a slight degree of caution as she turned right and headed back into the main part of the maze.

As she walked, she kept turning her head in both directions in hope of getting some sense of where Harry was. She’d be able to trap him this time, she was sure of it.

A few feet away from a place where she could turn, she caught a glimpse of Harry moving on the other side of the wall she was tracing, and he was moving the other way, damnit. She quickly picked up speed and made two quick left turns as soon as she could. There he was! And she was mere feet away.

She quickened her step and saw Terri come straight into her path. Remembering what Bruce had said, she bit her tongue as she wordlessly tried to tell Terri that Harry was close by.

Whether Terri understood the message or found out on her own, Cheri wasn’t able to tell, but in relatively short time, both women were closing in on him. He jumped to one side.

With Harry’s movement, she felt the another wave of arousal overwhelm her entire body. This time, the onset of the arousal was coupled with a feeling of lightheadedness. She stumbled and managed to steady herself by placing a hand against the smooth glass wall near where she stood. The voice came through her headphones, informing her that she was vulnerable once more.

“No shit!” she moaned as she tried to focus on the task at hand: in this case, not getting caught by Harry.

Cheri spun around on her heels and nearly fell over again. She started to move away from where she had stood when she felt a hand on her back. Before she could react, she heard Bruce’s voice in her head, saying, “Uh, oh, Cheri. Looks like you’ve been caught again. Go back to the base, take off another article of clothing, and wait for me to tell you when it’s safe to go back into the maze.”

She could barely suppress her giggle at the thought of the rules of this game. She didn’t quite understand why she had to take off her clothes, but it definitely made the game a lot of fun.

She slowly walked back to the central base, and saw Terri, dropping her T-shirt to the ground. She looked down and saw a small pile of clothes in the corner of the base. She slid her sweat pants down over her sneakers and threw them onto the pile.

Once her pants were off, Cheri shook her head, squinted her eyes, and waited for the instruction to get back into the maze. The arousal had, sadly, subsided as she watched Terri walk out the door, followed by Mary walking in through the doorway. Mary proceeded to throw her own skirt onto the pile of clothes.

Bruce’s voice came through the headphones once more. “You may go back out on the chase when you’re ready, Cheri.”

Cheri sprinted out of the doorway and nearly knocked over Carrie, who was on her way back into the central room as well.

Looking around everywhere she could, she didn’t see Harry at first, so she ran around the maze calmly, slowly, turning only when she reached the end of a corridor. Her fellow ghosts were doing the same thing, unsure of where Harry stood. After rounding two corners, she saw Harry moving slowly back and forth in a small area.

“I have you now,” she said, wondering if she was loud enough for him, or anyone else, to hear. She didn’t break into a run, but she started walking briskly, enthusiastically towards him. She was nearly on top of him, when he stepped to one side and she felt a much more intense wave of arousal than the previous two times. Her knees buckled from the sensation and, before she had the opportunity to stand up, she felt his hands on her shoulders.

The disembodied voice in her headset started to say that she was vulnerable, but it was almost immediately cut off by Bruce, saying, “Wow, Cheri. That’s the third time you’ve been caught. I think you know the rules by now. Go back to your base and take off another article of clothing.”

She slowly got to her feet as she heard the instructions she knew would come. As Bruce said the word “clothing,” she felt a tiny burst of pleasure, almost like a miniature orgasm. She paused at this sensation, biting her lower lip and looking up into the deep blue sky. The feeling was both intense and soothing at the same time.

She walked into the small room that served as her home base, unfastened her bra, and tossed it casually onto the pile of clothes.

After what felt like an eternity, waiting for something to happen, Cheri heard Bruce say that she had the green light to return to the chase, just as Carrie walked into the room.

This time, as she oriented herself, she thought about the three corners where Harry had activated one of the large dots and mused that he would be headed for the fourth corner. She started towards that corner when she saw him chasing after Terri.

Just after he tagged Terri, she jumped at her own chance, throwing both of her hands in front of her and landing squarely on Harry’s back.

Harry stood there, motionless. And then a Bruce’s voice came through her headphones. “Everyone, back to your starting points. Harry is down one life. He has four remaining.”

Cheri walked back towards her starting point, to wait for the race to start once again. Since she had started outside of the central room, she glanced into it and saw Terri and Carrie, wearing only a bra and panties, and Mary, down to just her panties. The pile of clothes in the corner was large enough that the rest of the room was more cramped than she would have expected.

The maze started to glow again, and Cheri took this as her cue to start moving. She immediately headed towards the last corner where the one remaining large dot lay in wait for Harry to stomp on it. With any luck, she’d get there first.

She maneuvered her way around several corners and moved around in a small circle in the maze, waiting for Harry to get closer. At one point, when her back was to the dot, she felt the most powerful sensation thus far pierce her body. It felt as though every piece of exposed skin was being teased and fondled. She let out a gasp and knew that he had hit that last large dot. She half-heard the disembodied voice declaring her vulnerability. She was just too focussed on the expectation and need that seemed to be oozing from every inch of her skin.

She tried to stand up, but she felt dizzy and nearly fell over. She saw a shadow approach her and she was resigned to the fact that she was about to get caught. Steadying herself, she took two steps and stood face to face with Harry, a broad smile on his face. She returned his smile, knowing he had outwitted her. She knew it was a bad idea to turn your back on your opponent, but she must have done it anyway.

He reached forward and pinched one of her nipples. She thought she made a noise to express her appreciation of this feeling but she didn’t hear anything. She stood straight up, eyes fixed forward, and walked back towards her home base.

Once there, she rolled her panties down to her ankles and kicked them into the pile. The thought struck her for a split second that she was now completely naked except for her sneakers, but just as quickly as the thought had come, she dismissed it. After all, it just felt right.

Carrie came in just as Cheri got the word that she was free to return to the maze. The two women didn’t make eye contact. She turned and headed back in the direction where she had last seen Harry. Now that he didn’t have any more large dots to step on, she relied on the hope that maybe he might have too many regular dots still to step on. She saw Harry placing his hands on the shoulders of another girl, but from a distance and through two glass walls, she couldn’t tell who it was.

She moved in their direction. As she got closer, she realized that Harry had gotten Terri, who was now walking back towards the central location.

She rounded a corner and saw Harry’s eyes widen. She knew he saw her and was trying to get away from her as he turned around and started in a different direction.

She started walking more quickly and he turned around again. Just out of her reach, he lunged forward and she saw the glass in the maze light up green and blue.

The disembodied voice came through hear headset. “The first round is over. Everyone please return to your starting points.”

Bruce added a somewhat personal addendum to what the voice had said. “Nice work everyone!”

Cheri let out a sigh and returned to her starting point.

Terri was still in the central location when Cheri and the rest returned. Cheri did a silent assessment of her fellow ghosts and realized she was the only one who was completely naked. The other three were down to just their panties, but they weren’t naked. She wondered if they felt the pleasure of that fourth big dot as intensely as she had.

Realizing there was no way of really asking, she merely smiled at her friends. She knew that her friends would understand the simple pleasures of this game soon enough. She didn’t care what the others thought of her.

The lights in the walls started to glow again and she knew it was time to take down Harry. She moved towards the dot he got last in the first round, in hopes that he might go after that first, since that’s by and large how she caught him the first time. Looking behind her, she saw her friends start to move out in opposite directions.

She didn’t even see Harry when she felt such an incredible sense of arousal, she knew he had hit the first of the large dots. Her hand moved involuntarily between her legs. Her clit had practically been begging for this moment since Harry had gotten the last dot of the previous round. Suddenly, the game and the rules seemed to be completely irrelevant. She had an itch that clearly needed scratching, damn everyone and everything else. Well, everyone but Harry, of course. If he should come around, she thought, she’d want him to come in.

She giggled at this thought, sat down on the soft grass, spread her legs and proceeded to fingerfuck herself.

Terri nearly tripped over Cheri as she sat on the ground, a victim of her own carnal tunnel syndrome. The passageways were wide enough for two people, but Terri simply hadn’t been looking for Cheri.

Terri didn’t flinch or otherwise give any indication that Cheri had inconvenienced her; she was too focussed on returning to the central base.

Cheri had completely tuned out the voices in her headset. She heard the voices saying something about how the vulnerable time was over, but she still felt needy so she ignored it and just kept on groping and fondling, touching and teasing, pinching and playing with herself.

She looked down the corridor and she saw Terri and Mary moving towards her. Both were naked and they gaped awkwardly at her. She wasn’t sure what she should say or do, if it would be better to put on a show for them, or if it would be better to hide a little bit.

In the end, she just kept masturbating as though Terri and Mary weren’t even there. The other two women lurched forward at the same moment as when Cheri felt a powerful orgasm flow through her entire body. She squinted her eyes and let out a long, sustained, high-pitched moan, wondering who, if anyone, heard that.

When she finally opened her eyes, Chery saw Terri and Mary on the ground near her. Terri was sitting upright against a glass wall, and Mary was lying flat on her back, with her legs bent. Both women were jilling off frantically.

Cheri wiped her brow and looked around. She saw Carrie moving quickly towards them, with Harry close behind.

Carrie stumbled over Mary’s legs, but Mary didn’t pay her any mind. As Carrie slowly tried to stand up, she let out a gasp as Harry approached her. She tried to turn, but he quickly leaned forward, reached around her, and fondled both of her breasts.

Carrie straightened up immediately and walked with purpose past Cheri, Mary, and Terri.

Cheri watched Harry as he took stock of the situation around him: three naked women, all clearly aroused, and masturbating frantically. Cheri paused to wipe her brow and Harry mouthed some words into the air. If he actually said anything, she couldn’t tell.

He then got a look on his face, as though he had forgotten something important, and turned around and ran back in the direction from which he had come.

Through tear-filled eyes, Cheri watched Carrie try to get Terri to stand up, but Terri resisted. Whatever Carrie was thinking or trying to do, well, it was the wrong idea and both Cheri and Terri knew it.

After a few moments Cheri felt another, more powerful orgasm rip through her entire body. Her muscles tensed up and she squinted her eyes out of pleasure. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Carrie had literally fallen over next to her. Terri and Mary were coming down from their own orgasms.

Cheri stopped masturbating for a moment to scratch under her chin. In that instant, she felt yet another powerful orgasm. In the waves of pleasure following the actual sensation, she noticed that all three of her friends were experiencing their own orgasms.

Yes, thought Cheri, this is a good game. She’d be sure to tell Bruce that the next time she saw him. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep, satisfied sleep, a silly grin plastered across her face.

She awoke to hear the sounds of Bruce talking to Harry. She rubbed her eyes and heard, “You did a nice job with that game.”

“Hey. I only just played it, man. And gave you an idea or two about building something like this, but really, Bruce, this is your game, not mine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. I think so. I’d just like to know how this actually worked.”

“It’s all in those headsets, man. Throughout the game they were getting subliminal messages. You know, to make them more suggestible. They really couldn’t hear the programming through all of the other sounds of the game, like the sounds of you stomping on the dots and all. It was the big dots that really made the difference. Each dot made them hornier. Getting caught intensified the feeling of the next dot. Four captures to get naked. The first dot after that made them want to start masturbating, and the next dot gave them an orgasm. One more dot and they go completely mindless.”

Harry nodded approvingly. “Looks like it worked just as planned.”

“Pretty much. So who do you want first?”

There was a short pause and she heard Harry’s voice say, “I’ll take ... Cheri.”

Cheri didn’t know what Harry meant by that, but she certainly knew what she wanted it to mean.

She opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Harry kneeling down over her. “Do you mind if I ask you a question?”

“Um ... sure.”

“Are you horny, baby?”

Without hesitating, Cheri responded, “Oh, yeah! Is there something you’d like to do about it?”

“Of course there is.”

She reached for his face and kissed him aggressively. When she reached down towards his pants, she realized he was already quite hard.

“Now before I let you have that....”

Cheri pouted at these words, but he paid her no mind.

“You need to give yourself over to me and Bruce. Completely. Unequivocally.”

“I do, Harry. I do. You two may use me as you wi—”

She was unable to complete the word ‘wish’ because she knew that words had become meaningless; all that mattered now was the piece of meat that she felt pushing its way in between her legs. She was now officially part of Bruce’s latest invention and she knew that she would dedicate as much time as humanly possible, into making sure everyone in the whole wide world either has this machine, or can play in it.

After all, this was the original “most popular” video game, wasn’t it? It translates so well to a real life game.
