Hypnotic Cravings: A Dark Hypnotic Descent

Awakened Desires: A Dark Hypnotic Descentby Linda Baker

Graduate student Sara has always been drawn to the mysteries of the human mind. When legendary psychology professor Damian Reed announces an exclusive research study on clinical hypnosis, she sees the perfect opportunity to gain hands-on experience for her thesis—and perhaps unlock a few doors within herself.

What begins as a professional volunteer arrangement quickly spirals into something far more intimate and dangerous. Under the guise of therapeutic sessions in Reed's dimly lit office, Sara finds herself sinking deeper into trance than she ever imagined possible. With each session, Reed's smooth, commanding voice peels away her inhibitions, awakening cravings she never knew existed—intense, consuming desires centered on surrender, pleasure, and an overwhelming oral fixation that begins to dominate her thoughts both in and out of hypnosis.

As the boundaries between research and seduction blur, Sara becomes entangled in a web of psychological manipulation and forbidden professor-student attraction. The more she submits to Reed's suggestions, the more her reality shifts: everyday moments trigger unexpected waves of arousal, and her once-sharp academic focus gives way to an addictive need to please the man who holds such effortless control over her mind.

But power like this comes at a cost. Sara must confront the ethical violations, the erosion of her autonomy, and the growing realization that some desires, once awakened, refuse to be put back to sleep. When the study ends and the full extent of Reed's programming becomes clear, Sara faces her darkest moment—forced to rebuild her sense of self from the fragments left behind.

In the aftermath, a new life in New York offers fresh beginnings, new connections, and the slow, painful journey toward reclaiming agency over her own body and mind. Through therapy, friendship, and tentative exploration of her sexuality on her own terms, Sara discovers that healing doesn't mean erasing what happened—it means integrating the complexity of trauma and desire into a stronger, more authentic whole.
