Somewhere buried in the deep recesses of the internet, tucked in a corner that was nearly impossible to find unless you were lucky enough to stumble upon it, a new site sprang into existence. The site itself wasn’t fancy, consisting mostly of white text on a black background. But while its layout was simple, the offer it made was extraordinary. One by one, visitors began trickling in, and for those who purchased one of its special products, their lives would never be the same.

It was a sweltering Saturday afternoon as Rachael stood on Summer’s front porch, brimming with excitement. A moment later, the door swung open, and Summer gave her best friend a bright smile. They exchanged a brief embrace, then Summer took a step back, gesturing for Rachael to come inside.

“Come on, girl, get in here,” she smiled. “It’s too damn hot to spend all day on the porch!”

Summer’s living room was a patchwork of mismatched sofas with colorful throw pillows, accented by pop art posters hung on the wall. It was the perfect pad for a single girl fresh out of college. Summer gave her friend a smile and told her to get comfortable while she went back to the kitchen to grab them each some iced tea.

When Summer returned, she found Rachael sitting on the sofa, eagerly digging through her oversized floral tote bag.

“You are not going to believe this one,” Rachael declared, her eyes dancing as she dug deeper into the bag with dramatic flair. Her blonde curls bounced with each movement, her whole body practically humming with excitement. “I found the most perfect thing online!”

Summer smirked, sitting down on the sofa across from her friend and setting their tea on the coffee table. “Let me guess. It slices, it dices, and it winds up taking way too much space in your garage?”

Rachael didn’t reply—at least, not with words. Instead, she popped up with a triumphant grin, holding aloft what looked unmistakably like a toy ray gun from some 1980s space cartoon.

“Ta-da!” She sang.

Summer raised a brow. “Is that... a plastic toy gun?”

“Excuse you,” Rachael said, mock-offended. “This, my dear skeptical friend, is the Lust Ray, Purple Edition. It’s a special release, available only in limited quantities. I had to jump through, like, a dozen hoops online just to find where I could order it.”

Summer blinked. “You bought a... Lust Ray? One of those kinky make-believe ray guns that are supposed to modify people’s behaviors? Rach, those were debunked on Snopes like ten minutes after the rumors about them started circulating.”

“Well, Snopes is wrong,” Rachael said matter-of-factly. “I have it on good word that these ray guns are not only real, but they’re very effective. Every model version comes in a different color, and depending on which color you get, they do something different. The purple edition is the best of the best, though. I got this one for Greg, to spice up our marriage.”

Summer leaned forward and squinted at the ridiculous-looking device. The body was molded from shiny, almost glittery purple plastic, streaked with bold yellow stripes that looked like a child had designed them in crayon. A thick blue glass lens covered the front of the barrel, and a black plastic knob that looked like it had been stolen from an old stereo stuck out of the back.

“You are aware this looks like it came out of a cereal box, right?” Summer said.

Rachael sniffed. “That’s the point. By making these look like cheap junk, they’re less likely to arouse suspicion from unwanted onlookers. Only those in the know can benefit from the Lust Ray’s incredible power.”

“Uh-huh.” Summer leaned back and crossed her arms. “I’m almost afraid to ask, but how much did you pay for this thing?”

Rachael hesitated. “Let’s focus on the potential, not the price tag.”

Summer laughed. “Okay. Fine. Let’s talk about its potential. What exactly does the ‘Lust Ray: Purple Edition’ do? Turn you into a slut who wants to suck dicks nonstop?”

“No, that’s a different edition. I mean, I guess it could do that too. This is seriously the most powerful model they sell. They call it a compliance ray. It makes the target completely sexually compliant to the person who pulls the trigger. See, Greg has all these kinky ideas he’d like to try in the bedroom. Remember when I told you he was joking about having a threesome? I’m talking stuff way more wild than that.

“The problem is that I’m such a straight-laced, vanilla kind of girl that I’ve never been able to bring myself to try any of his ideas. I know it drives him crazy that we’re on such different sexual levels, but I can never seem to bring myself to go for anything super spicy. This thing is the answer. With a quick pull of the trigger, I’ll be completely comfortable trying any idea he comes up with, and I’ll love doing it.”

“I don’t know, Rach,” Summer shrugged. “I kind of feel like the idea of some ray gun with magical sexual powers is a little absurd. I think you wasted your money yet again.”

“Okay, miss doubter,” Rachael laughed. “I guess a demonstration is in order.” Rachael took the ray gun, twisted the knob all the way to the left, and then turned it in her hands and extended it out to Summer. “Here, take it.”

Summer tentatively reached out, picking the cheap-looking gadget out of her friend’s hand. Her eyes bulged slightly when she realized it was heavier than it appeared. “What am I supposed to do with this thing?”

“Shoot me,” Rachael smiled. “Go on, point it right at me and pull the trigger.”

“Shoot you?” Summer repeated. “And then what?”

“Then tell me to do something I wouldn’t normally do. Make me yank down my dress and shake my boobs or something.”

“Rach, I don’t know…”

“Oh, come on, Summer. It’s completely harmless. I put it on the lowest setting, so the effects will wear off after a few minutes.”

“Oh, so it has settings?” Summer chuckled, turning the ray gun over in her hand and looking at the little dial.

“Yeah, you can set it all the way down for a few minutes of fun or turn it all the way up to make the changes permanent. Just try it. I’m telling you, it’s the real deal. Now come on, hit me with your best shot.”

Just then, Rachael’s phone dinged with a notification. The woman reached down into her bag, fishing for her phone as Summer let out a little sigh and began to speak.

“Girl, sometimes I don’t know what to do with you. This thing is a toy, plain and simple. It’s just as much of a toy in this setting as it is all the way over here.” As she spoke, Summer twisted the knob all the way to the right, so its mark lined up with a little infinity symbol. “But since you insist that I prove it to myself…”

The woman raised up the Lust Ray, pointed it at Rachael’s chest, and pulled the trigger.

The ray gun made a low hum in Summer’s hands. At the same time, Rachael looked up from her phone.

“Sorry, Summer, I was distracted. What were…”

Rachael’s words abruptly came to a halt as a sharp pulse of blue light burst from the barrel. It struck the woman squarely in the chest. Instantly, her expression froze, along with the rest of her body. Her eyes took on a glassy look, and her breathing slowed to nearly nothing. As Summer stared at her friend, Rachael’s phone slowly slid out of her hand, landing on the floor with a dull clunk.

Summer’s jaw fell open.

“Rachael?” she said slowly.

Rachael didn’t respond. As Summer sat there in stunned silence, her friend remained frozen in place. Summer tried calling her name a few more times, but there was no response.

“Oh. My. God.” Summer muttered, looking at the ray gun in her hands, nearly dropping it on the floor in shock. What had she done?

Then, just as her friend’s panic was beginning to set in, Rachael blinked a few times, seeming to come back to life as her breathing returned to normal.

“...you saying?” Rachael said.

Summer stared at her friend, mouth agape.

“Hello? Earth to Summer,” Rachael laughed. “Is everything okay, girl?”

“Is everything okay?” Summer finally spoke. “I should be asking you that. Rach, do you seriously not remember what just happened? You were talking one second and just completely froze for, like, a solid thirty seconds.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really,” Summer replied, waving the ray gun. “I shot you with this thing, and then you just… you just stopped. It was freaking me out.”

Rachael’s eyes lit up. “That’s perfect! That means it must have worked. Okay, okay, tell me to do something that I wouldn’t normally do.”

“What?” Summer asked, setting down the ray gun. “Are you serious? I just told you that you froze in place like some kind of zombie. Aren’t you at least a little freaked out?”

“Not really. The website said that happens. Now come on, I really want to prove this thing to you.”

Summer took a few deep breaths, her mind reeling as her best friend sat across from her, smiling eagerly. Could this thing actually be for real? Could it really do what her friend claimed it did? As she looked her friend over, thoughts started circulating. She’d always found Rachael attractive. Her long blonde hair. Her bright blue eyes. Her generous breasts. Even in the simple floral sundress she was wearing today, Rachael was a stunning sight. She’d secretly harbored a crush on her friend for years, but unlike herself, Rachael wasn’t remotely bi. Eventually she gave up any hopes of anything happening when Rachael and Greg got engaged. But now, if Rachael’s ray gun actually worked, she realized, she could have everything she ever wanted and more. Summer found herself getting lost in thoughts about the potential opportunities when her friend spoke up once more.

“Yoo hoo,” Rachael sang. “We haven’t got all day, girly. Are you going to test this thing out or not?

A grin slowly materialized on Summer’s lips. “Sorry,” she began, “I was just daydreaming. Alright, you really want to prove this thing works?” Summer’s grin broadened as Rachael eagerly grinned and nodded. “Okay then. Here’s something I know you’d never normally do. Take off your dress and bra, and start playing with your tits.

“Sure thing,” Rachael smiled, rising up from her spot on the sofa.

As Summer watched on in astonishment, the woman pulled her sundress up and over her head, tossing it on the floor beside her tote bag. Next, she reached behind her back, unclasping her bra and shaking it off her shoulders. A moment later, it joined her dress in the discard pile while Rachael sat back down on the sofa. As soon as she was seated, her hands made their way to her tits, kneading them gently, occasionally taking one of her nipples between a finger and thumb.

Summer’s jaw dropped as she felt her pussy starting to come to life. “No way. Is this for real?”

“What?” Rachael asked in a completely nonplussed tone, giving one of her nipples a little tug. “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“It is. I just… I didn’t think it would actually work,” Summer admitted, her mind reeling. “You’re sure you’re not messing with me?”

“What do you mean? Why would I mess with you?”

“Wow,” Summer muttered. Just then, another idea popped in her mind, bringing a devilish grin to her face. “Okay, Rach, I really want to test this. You say the ray will make you think or do whatever I want you to think or do, right?”

“Pretty much.”

“And right now, you’re totally, completely straight?”

“As an arrow,” her friend laughed, hefting her tits and giving them a squeeze as she spoke.

“So, have you ever wanted to kiss another woman, even to try it out?”

“Never,” Rachael confirmed as she continued massaging her breasts.

“Well, I think it’s time for another test. Rachael, you’re now bisexual. Very, very bisexual. Thinking about me turns you on as much as you’ve ever been turned on in your life. You want me bad, Rach. Now, look at me and tell me exactly what you’re thinking.”

Rachael’s expression began to change almost immediately. Her happy, compliant smile gradually morphed into a look of desire. Summer could see the primal hunger growing in her friend’s eyes. Rachael scanned Summer’s body, drinking in her friend’s sexy curves.

“Oh, God, Summer,” Rachael groaned, kneading her tits even harder than before. “Girl, you’re turning me on so much right now. I just, hmmm, love how sexy you look in that tank top and skirt, but, oh, fuck, I’d love to rip them off you and run my hands all over your naked body. Then I’d, hmmm, I’d love to go down on you to see if your pussy tastes as good as I think it would. Fuck, I want you so bad.”

“In that case,” Summer grinned, “quit playing with your tits and come get me.”

In an instant, Rachael’s hands left her breasts, and she sprang up from her sofa, practically leaping across the distance that had been separating them. She sank into her friend’s lap, straddling her with her hands draped over Summer’s shoulders as she leaned in. Summer let out a groan as their lips met, their tongues darting out to meet one another in a scorching hot kiss. Rachael’s hands soon began roaming all over Summer’s body, feeling her friend up and eliciting moans of pleasure.

“Fuck,” Rachael moaned between kisses. “I can’t believe how much I want you right now.”

Rachael’s hands locked onto the hem of Summer’s tank top, pulling it up and exposing her bra. Summer lifted her arms, their kiss breaking off as the garment came up over her head. As soon as the top was tossed to the floor, Rachael’s lips moved down to Summer’s neck, kissing her friend passionately and leaving marks as her arms wrapped around her, her fingers expertly unclasping her bra. Summer groaned as she felt her bra come loose. An instant later, Rachael pulled back, grinning as she yanked the garment off the woman, releasing her tits.

“Yummy,” Rachael smiled, giving Summer’s breasts a firm squeeze before moving in to kiss her once more. As their bare breasts pressed against one another, Rachael and Summer groaned and moaned into each other’s mouths, getting more and more worked up.

After a couple minutes of kissing, Summer knew she wanted more. “Hang on a second,” she moaned, breaking off the kiss. “Follow me.”

A moment later, the girls were collapsing into Summer’s bed as they kissed and groped one another. Summer guided Rachael’s lips down to her breasts, and Rachael eagerly began kissing and suckling on them, taking a nipple into her mouth and flicking it with her tongue.

“Oh, fuck,” Summer moaned. “You’re good at that.”

Rachael looked up at her friend, grinning before resuming her kisses, moving lower and lower on Summer’s body until she reached her friend’s skirt. Flipping the skirt up to expose her thong, Rachael took hold of the undergarment, tugging it down and exposing Summer’s sopping pussy. Throwing the thong onto the floor, Rachael dove in, kissing up and down along Summer’s slit. Summer moaned as she felt Rachael’s tongue press up against her pussy lips for the first time.

“Yeah,” she groaned as Rachael drew her tongue slowly up her pussy. “Keep going.”

Following her instructions, Rachael lapped at her friend again and again. Occasionally Summer would give Rachael something else to do. “Work on my clit for a while.” “Play with my tits.” “Eat me like a dirty slut.” Rachael eagerly complied with every command, enjoying the pleasure of bringing her friend closer and closer to orgasm.

“Oh, fuck, oh God,” Summer finally groaned as Rachael flicked her clit with her tongue while playing with one of her tits and simultaneously fingering her pussy. “Oh, Rach, I’m gonna come. Don’t stop, don’t, oh, fuck! Yes!”

Rachael let out a happy little grunt as Summer came, squirting all over her face and chin as she shuddered violently in the bed. Rachael kept on working her friend’s pussy and tits, drawing out the orgasm as Summer thrashed in her bed. As she started to come down from her high, Summer reached down, taking hold of her friend.

“Get up here,” she commanded. “I want to kiss you.”

Rachael repositioned herself, climbing on top of Summer and pressing her lips up against her friend. After a few minutes of this, Summer gently rolled Rachael off her, grinning into her friend’s eyes.

“Okay, Rach,” she said with a little grin. “I think I believe you that your little ray gun works.

Rachael beamed with joy. “I told you so. So, what’s next?”

“Next,” Summer said, “I’m going to return the favor and eat you out, and after that, we’re going to get dressed, grab your ray gun, and head back over to your house. If Greg is really as kinky as you’re saying he is, I can only imagine what he’ll do when he finds both of us waiting in his bed.”
