Symbiote 0297: HealedThe week that passed was very eventful, as Alex healed Gwen’s mind and used a mixture of hypnosis and Mind Authority to heal Gwen’s fractured personality, finally making her whole again. The process also helped him increase his understanding of the connection between the soul and the mind. After fixing things with Gwen, he realized that the reason that he hadn’t even thought of increasing the bond level beyond the skin bond with her was because of her fractured mind, which had also led to her soul being damaged.
Since her soul was damaged, Alex instinctively knew that deepening the bond with her wouldn’t be the best decision due to the nature of his symbiotic relationship with her. As the level of the bond deepens, he receives a certain amount of feedback from the soul of his host, that is the main reason that the symbiotes need hosts despite their advantages. Having a host helps them better their souls.
He even received so understanding of the Bonding Rate that the status panel of each of his hosts always showed. It was essentially the degree of compatibility between his soul and his host’s soul.
“Alex?” Gwen pulled him out of his inward musings as he looked down at her.
“When did you wake up?” He asked her, tightening his arms around her lithe fra.
“Just a bit ago,” She answered. “You looked to be deep in thought.”
“I was just thinking to myself,” he said. “How about we go out? Sex is good and all, but I want to spend so ti enjoying my healed girlfriend’s company.”
“Dress up. Let’s go,” Gwen frowned after saying that. “Did you put so ntal suggestions in my mind, Alex? I don’t usually ask you to dress like a doll.”
“Do you really think I would put in such a ta suggestion? If I did implant a ntal suggestion in your subconscious, it would be much wilder. Sothing like making you salivate whenever you see my cock. Or —“ Gwen stopped Alex from speaking any further by putting her hands on his mouth. “Stop … Help dress up, and we can go out.”
“Sure,” Alex nodded and freed Gwen from his arms before standing up from the bed in the dungeon. A set of fitting trousers and a shirt appeared on him before Gwen sat up.
“Stop ogling my tits and give my dress,” Gwen put her arm across her chest, hiding her chest from his gaze.
“Fine,” Alex shook his head and snapped his fingers as a flowery sundress appeared on Gwen’s body. “Happy now?”
“Now all that I’m missing is a countryside farm where I can frolic among a field of flowers.”
“Then you tell what you want,” Alex sighed. “You asked, and I delivered.”
“I don’t mind the sundress; I mind the basic ass floral pattern you chose. First, turn it into a lighter shade of sky blue; it goes well with my hair. Then make it more form-fitting; I maintain my body very well and wouldn’t mind showing off my curves for my man.”
“Oh, you’re the one who maintains your body?” Alex raised a brow. “Going by your usual eating habits and how little you work out, without , you’d already be bloated.”
“Are you trying to call potentially fat?” She looked at him with a hostile expression.
“Co on. Let’s go. A couple of hours of fucking will burn all those calories away.”
Gwen looked at Alex’s extended hand before looking at his face, “Yeah, let’s go. Now that I’m off that sex high, this place is downright creepy.”
“Understandable,” Alex nodded. “This has too much of a dungeon vibe. I’m going to renovate this place to make it more appealing.”
“I’d rather you don’t,” Gwen shook her head, pulling Alex toward the exit. “If you really want a sex dungeon vibe going, do it in our basent. I don’t want to co all the way here just for that. And before you ask, no. I am not turned on by doing it in the White House … that much.”
Alex laughed as the two of them left the building for their date.
…
“Do you want to co ho with ?” Gwen offered, staring at Alex with unblinking eyes.
Alex had just bitten into a juicy ham sandwich when he froze.
“We’re in Washington — ahem. We’re in Washington. New York is still so distance away.” He licked his thumb clean.
“Teleport,” Gwen said dryly. “Mom’s invited us for dinner. I want to go.”
“Do I have to join?” Alex asked.
“What’s wrong? You’ve already t.”
“That was the most awkward interaction that I’ve ever had, Gwen,” Alex said. “Your mom looked at like I was the whole reason behind your estrangent.”
“You were, Alex,” she looked at him pointedly.
“Well, she doesn’t know that,” Alex said.
“Just co ho with ? I’m going to invite her to co with to my graduation ceremony, and it would be nice to have soone with . You can try to win my brothers over as well.”
“Are you trying to get to join your family or sothing?”
“So normalcy will do you good, Alex,” Gwen said. “You have a habit of getting too detached from reality when you are working.”
“You’re one to talk, Miss ‘I don’t need food or water when I’m working in the lab,’” Alex jabbed. “You stay cooped up in your lab for weeks on end when working on sothing.”
“Don’t I have you to drag out of there when I lose myself?” Gwen smiled. “I’m doing the sa for you.”
“Fine,” Alex said. “Let finish my sandwich; we can leave then.”
…
“So, Gwen. Honey. Tell sothing …” Gwen’s mother spoke up.
“Sure thing, Mom,” Gwen nodded while still focused on the fish that was on her plate.
“You didn’t end up getting any … tattoos or anything, right?”
“Hm?” Gwen looked up with a questioning look. “Why do you ask?”
The older woman hesitated before taking a breath and speaking, “You’re wearing darker clothes than you used to … not to ntion that choker — which I am not against, just to be clear — are you being influenced by … gothic fashion?”
Even Alex stopped eating and looked at Gwen with a curious expression that said, ‘Are you, Gwen?’
“You don’t need to talk to as if you’re trying to dodge landmines, Mom,” Gwen sighed. “And no, I did not get any tattoos. I wear sunny clothes all the ti. But black is a little on the formal side, don’t you think?”
Hearing her daughter’s words seed to remove a huge weight off of the woman’s shoulders. “That’s good … that’s good. What about the choker?”
Gwen coughed and glanced at Alex for a mont before answering, “It’s like a lucky charm …” Her words weren’t fooling anyone.
“So you gifted a choker to my sister?” Phillip, the oldest of Gwen’s three brothers, asked Alex with a confrontational tone. While younger than her, he was already an adult.
[A rock and a hard place …] Gwen’s amused words perfectly captured Alex’s situation at the mont.
“I’ve given her a lot of gifts over the years,” Alex said, trying to smooth things over and move on from the topic of the choker. “That bracelet, for example.”
[You should really grow out of this choker fetich, Alex. Once in a while is fine, but it is a bit of a bold fashion statent, don’t you think?]
[I’ll deal with you later, you scheming woman.]
Helen, Gwen’s mother, seed to be satisfied with Gwen’s amusent and the uncomfortable situation that her son had put Alex in.
“These are real diamonds, son,” Her address toward Alex shifted noticeably.
“It’s no big deal,” Alex shook his head.
Just as Helen thought he was being humble, Gwen interjected. “Really, Mom. It’s nothing. He makes enough that this is barely worth pennies for him.”
“It’s not about —“
“Really? Then can you get the new PS5?” The youngest of Gwen’s brothers, Simon, shot his shot, interrupting his mother.
“I’ll get you a prototype of the 6,” Alex was showing off. “It’s a restricted testing model that has Sony’s entire library unlocked.”
“Stop showing off to my family,” Gwen lightly punched Alex’s arm. “My mom already thinks that you’re so kind of mafia man.”
“You do, Mrs. Stacy?” Alex looked at her with wide eyes. “You don’t need to worry about any of that. Everything I do is done above board and through the legal channels.”
[Be clear, Alex. Tell her that you just bend the legal channels to allow you to do whatever you want.]
He ignored Gwen’s words and looked at her brother again, “Just give a call later, okay? I’ll have it delivered here. Let know if there are any issues.” He subtly handed a business card to Simon.
Just like that, Alex had won over not only the youngest but Gwen’s other two brothers as well.
“Mom …” As Alex was distracted, Gwen looked at her mother with an earnest expression, “Do you … um … mind coming to my graduation? It’s in two weeks. I’ll fly all four of you out to Oxford. You can stay at our place; we have more than enough rooms.”
“Are you sure?” The woman seed a little hesitant.
“Definitely,” Gwen nodded. “I want you there. You missed a huge chunk of my university life … I want you to at least be a part of my graduation.”
“Done,” The woman seed ready to tear up. “I’ll definitely be there. I should call your brothers’ schools. Simon and Howard will have to apply for leave … Phillip is still working on his applications for university —”
“Calm down, Mom,” Gwen grabbed her mother’s hand. “Let’s finish dinner and we can deal with the rest after that.”
