Behind The Mask: Chapter 3

Will sat on his couch, holding Maize's phone number. He'd been staring at it for about five minutes now, considering if this was what he truly wanted to do. Today was his day off from work and he spent most of it relaxing at home. When it became night, he decided it was time to message Maize. He retrieved the number from his desk and sat down to text her, but now he was stalling. Will was scared to let someone see the real him again. Could he really trust Maize? What if this was all an elaborate prank? 

" Ah, screw it. Wondering will drive me crazy. I'm just gonna do it. " he thought, typing her number into his phone. 

" Hey, Maize. It's Will from the other night. I was wondering if maybe you'd like to get together tonight? " 

He sent the message feeling quite nervous. A couple minutes later, he got a reply. 

" Sure. I'm free. How about you come over to my place this time though? " 

Will wasn't expecting that, but he didn't have a problem with it. 

" Okay. I can do that. Where do you live? " 

Maize sent him her address and told him to wait five minutes before coming over. He said he would and locked his phone. Looking down at his clothes, a t-shirt and gym shorts, he realized he needed to change.

Will arrived at Maize's apartment twenty minutes later. She didn't live far from him at all. He'd changed into jeans and a clean t-shirt. Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. Within moments, the door opened. 

" Hi, Will! I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon. Come in. " Maize said, stepping aside. 

" Hey. " he replied, entering her apartment. 

Maize's apartment was much larger than his own. Just the living room alone was almost as big as his whole apartment. All of the furniture and appliances looked like they were fairly expensive. To his left was a wooden dining table with six chairs. There was only a table pushed up against the wall with some plants and unlit candles to his right. 

The living room had a dark blue couch with a blanket covering it and two plush chairs on its left and right. A huge flat screen TV and entertainment center were up against the far wall with a tall DVD rack next to it. The far wall also had two windows that looked out onto the street below. There was a hallway on the left that he assumed lead to the kitchen, bathroom, and Maize's bedroom. 

" Wow. This is a nice place. " Will said, looking around. 

" Thanks. My mother insists on sending me money every few months, so I put it to good use. " she said, not sounding entirely happy about it. 

He made a mental note not to ask about her mom. Will turned back to her and saw she was leaning against the front door with her arms crossed over her chest. Maize was wearing a gray tank top and purple, flannel pajama pants. Her hair was loose and hanging around her shoulders. He looked down for a second and saw her bare feet peeking out of the pants. He briefly wondered why he had gotten dressed if she was just wearing pajamas. 

" So, why did you want to see me? Were you wanting to have some fun again? " she asked, raising an eyebrow and grinning. 

" Um, no. Well... I don't know. Maybe? I was thinking we could talk and get to know each other. I know nothing about you and you know my biggest secret. " 

" That's fair. There's something I need to tell you anyways. Let's sit on the couch. Can I get you a drink? " 

" Sure. I'll take some water, please. " 

" Coming right up. " Maize said, walking down the hallway and turning left. 

Will sat down on the couch, wondering what she wanted to tell him. She came back out and handed him a glass of water before sitting next to him. 

" What was it you wanted to tell me? " he asked and sipped some water. 

Maize took a deep breath and looked him dead in the eye with a serious expression. 

" Okay. You're probably not going to believe any of this, but I want you to try to stick with me. Can you do that? " 

" Okay. I'll try... " he said, confused yet interested at the same time. 

" The other night at the bar I didn't just decide to talk to you at random. I chose you for a reason. I chose you because I could hear your thoughts. You sounded really depressed, so I wanted to cheer you up. " 

Will almost wanted to laugh, but her serious expression stopped him from doing it. This had to be a joke. 

" You... heard my thoughts? " he said disbelievingly. 

" Yes. And that's not all. You weren't as drunk as you thought you were that night. I kind of... influenced your mind. I made you more willing to do things you wouldn't normally do. That's why you acted on your foot fetish without caring. It wasn't the alcohol. I knew that's what you wanted and I wanted to make you happy. I also made my feet bigger when I was giving you the foot job. " 

The joke officially wasn't funny anymore. 

" You influenced my mind. What are you even trying to say? That you're some kind of witch or something?! " he asked, standing up in a huff. 

" Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm a witch, Will. " Maize said, getting up as well. 

" Alright. I've heard enough. Thanks for the other night, but please don't try to talk to me again. I hope you had fun messing with the weirdo. " 

Will began walking to the door. As he neared it, the table that had been against the wall moved in front of the door seemingly by itself. All of the candles on the table suddenly lit as if by magic. He froze in place, just staring at the table blocking his path. 

" I'm not messing with you. It's the truth. " 

He turned around to find her standing right in front of him. 

" No way. There is no such thing as witches. That's all make believe and fairy tales. " he said, subconsciously taking a step back. 

Maize grinned in response and one of the candles came floating over his shoulder then stopped in mid-air between them. 

" I was planning on easing you into this, but I couldn't let you leave. Witches are real and I'm one of them. " 

Will looked at the floating candle, unable to believe what he was seeing. 

" This is all an elaborate trick, right? I'm on some new prank show? " 

" Nope. This isn't a trick. There are no wires or anything. Check for yourself. " 

He waved his hands all around the candle and found nothing to make him think it was a trick. 

" Holy shit. You're serious? You are a witch... " he whispered, starting to feel slightly lightheaded. 

" Yes. I would show you some more magic, but I think I'll hold off for now. Come on. You should sit down. " she said, walking over to the couch. 

He followed her without a word and plopped into a seat. 

" I imagine you have a million questions in your head right now. I'm completely willing to answer all of them. Fire away. " Maize offered, sitting in one of the chairs. 

Will didn't say anything for a few minutes. He was too busy trying to wrap his head around all of it. Witches were real and one of them had given him a magical toe job. One question kept running through his mind and that's the one he asked. 

" Everything you said about wanting to make me happy, that was true too? " 

" Yes. " 

" Why me? Why did you care about making me happy so much? I'm just a random guy whose thoughts you read in some bar. A guy with a foot fetish. Why did you choose me? " he asked, looking her right in the eyes. 

" In your mind, you think of yourself as someone wearing a mask to hide who you really are. I know what it's like to hide who you are. As a witch, I've had to do it my whole life. I wanted to give you a chance to be yourself without worrying. " Maize explained. 

" Oh. Thank you. " Will replied, unsure of what else to say. 

" You're welcome. You must have some more questions than that though. Keep asking. " 

He rubbed his chin with his hand, thinking of more questions. 

" Okay... What can you do with magic? What are the limits? " 

" Hmmm... I guess it would be easier to tell you what I can't do. Magic can't mess with time. We can't go into the future or past and we can't freeze time. I can't bring someone back from the dead, but I can heal someone to a certain degree. Minor injuries and stuff like that. I can't cure terminal illnesses or heal mortal injuries. Witches have our own laws just like normal people do. We can't just go around and do whatever we want all the time. If someone breaks our laws, we have our own version of police to arrest them. We're technically not supposed to interfere in the lives of normal people, but no one really follows that rule. As long as we don't permanently harm them, they let it slide. " 

" Wow... Okay. You said before that you could hear my thoughts. So you can read minds? " 

" Yes, but I haven't done it the entire time you've been here. I can control it. " she assured him. 

" I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I guess it's not important. You also said that made your feet bigger the other night. Does that mean you can control your size? " 

" I can control pretty much anything's size. Shrinking and growing. One of the few things I can't change is another witch. Some of our powers don't work on other witches. That would require a potion. " 

Will's mind briefly went to standing in front of Maize's feet at only a few inches tall. He could actually live out the stories he read online. He pushed the thought away because now was not the time for it. 

" I think I need a minute to let this sink in. This is a lot to take in all at once. " he said, leaning back on the couch. 

" Of course. How about you hold on to the rest of your questions and if you stick around long enough, you'll see what I can do for yourself. " 

" Okay. So... Where do we go from here? " 

" There's one more thing I need to tell you first. You can't tell anyone that I'm a witch. Not even your best friend. No one would probably believe you, but you never know who might hear it through the grapevine. If certain people found out, it could be dangerous for me. If you tell anybody, I'll have to erase your memory. " 

" Whoa, what? Erase my memory? Like Men in Black? " he interjected. 

" No. I don't have a neuralyzer, Will. I would just erase all your memories of me. You'd go on with your life like you never met me afterwards. " 

" I swear I won't tell anyone. We both know one of each other's secrets now. It's fair. " 

" Good. Now that you know everything you need to, I can tell you my idea. " Maize said, moving to the spot next to him on the couch. 

" What idea? " Will asked. 

" When I read your mind that night at the bar, I learned a lot about you. Specifically, about your friend Rebecca and your crush on her. " 

" Oh. Could you do me a favor and not read my mind anymore? Like ever? It's too weird. " 

" Sure. I still might do it accidentally sometimes though. Force of habit. Anyways, my idea is to help you tell Rebecca about your foot fetish and ask her out. " 

" Ummm... I don't know, Maize. I'm not ready for that yet. What if she thinks I'm a creep? " he said, scratching the back of his head. 

" That's why I'm going to help you. I want you to be able to be yourself without worrying. You're not just going to come right out and tell her. We're going to work up to that. Besides, if it doesn't go well I can erase her memory. " 

Will hadn't thought about that. Maize was offering to help him do what he'd been afraid to for years now. Her magic could really be helpful too. Considering everything there was only one logical choice. 

" Alright. Let's give it a shot. I have nothing to lose I guess. " 

" Great! You won't regret it, I promise. " she said, grabbing his arm in excitement. 

" What do we do now? Should I go home and we can talk earlier tomorrow? " 

" We could have some fun. " she offered, giving him that mischievous grin that he was starting to recognize. 

" What did you have in mind? " he asked, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

Behind The Mask: Chapter 5

The next morning Will woke up feeling quite excited. It was his second day off from work and Maize was supposed to tell him her plan for helping him reveal his secret to Rebecca. The memories of the previous night with Maize were also still fresh in his mind. If he didn't know any better, he would've thought it had all been a glorious dream. Getting out of bed, he decided to make himself some breakfast. 

He pulled out a pan and fried two eggs, then made two pieces of toast with a glass of orange juice to chase it all down. As he ate his breakfast at the kitchen table, Will began thinking about the larger implications of witches being real. How many of them lived in his town besides Maize and her roommate? And if there were more, did he know or maybe even work with any of them? For all he knew Rebecca could be a witch. 

" No, I think I would know if one of my best friends was a witch. " he thought, taking a sip of orange juice. 

These were questions he hadn't thought of last night while talking to Maize. He would have to remember to ask her when they talked later. When he was done eating, he washed the dishes and went to the bathroom. After relieving himself, Will decided to take a shower. He took off the t-shirt and boxers he slept in and stepped into the shower. 

The water was the perfect temperature. He scrubbed the shampoo into his hair, then switched to doing the body wash. As he was washing himself, his mind returned to his night with Maize. It had been a truly amazing night. Seeing Maize stand before him like one of the giantesses from the stories he read. Massaging her feet while only being a couple inches taller than them. The breathtaking sight of her foot looming over him. 

Will braced himself against the shower wall with one hand and lowered his other hand down to his member, which was getting harder by the second. He took his shaft in his hand and began to slowly stroke it. Something about doing this seemed wrong to him, but he shook the feeling off. He continued to visualize the events of the previous night. Climbing onto her foot and laying down on her sole. He could practically smell the scent of her foot again now. 

The pace of his strokes quickened. His memories were changing into his own fantasy. He was no longer on Maize's sole, instead she was standing over him. He was still shrunken and she was smiling mischievously. He watched in awe as her huge foot lifted overhead and came down on top of him. He was forced onto his back as her toes pinned him. The lower half of his body was under her foot and he could feel his member rubbing against her skin. Will burst right onto the shower floor. He leaned against the wall breathing heavily with the water still hitting him. 

" Man, I hope Maize doesn't read my mind and hear about this, " he thought. 

Finishing up his shower, he got some clean clothes for the day. A blue t-shirt and tan cargo shorts specifically. The alarm clock on his night stand said it was already almost 11 AM. He plopped down on the couch and turned his phone on. There were no new messages from anyone. Since he didn't really have anything else to do, he turned on the TV. 

He watched reruns of a drama show for about an hour or two before getting a call from Maize. 

" Hello? " Will said, answering the call. 

" Hey, Will! How are you?  " she asked. 

" I'm... pretty good. How 'bout you? " he replied, thinking about his time in the shower. 

" I'm good. Are you busy? I came up with a few ideas on what we can do to help you. Plus, I figured you should meet my roommate. You guys will most likely see each other more than once while we're getting you ready to tell Rebecca how you feel, " Maize explained. 

" No, I'm not busy. Should I come over to your place or did you wanna meet somewhere? " 

" You can come over here. We're probably gonna have lunch soon. Have you eaten yet? " 

" Just breakfast a couple hours ago. " 

" Okay. We'll figure something out when you get here. See you in a bit. " 

" Alright. See ya, " he said ending the call. 

Will put his phone in his pocket and got his car keys from his computer desk. He was kind of nervous to meet Maize's roommate. After the warning she gave him, how could he not be? He really hoped it wasn't the drunk girl he bumped into getting off the elevator last night. If that was her, would she even remember him? She had been quite drunk. Trying not to worry about it, he went off to Maize's. 

.:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:.

Will stood in the front of the door to Maize's apartment. On the drive over, he kept thinking that drunk girl. It was too much of a coincidence, she had to be Maize's roommate. The best he could hope for is that she didn't remember him. He knocked on the door. 

After a few moments, Maize answered. Today she was wearing a burgundy, long sleeve shirt and jeans. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and her feet were bare. 

" Hey there. Ready to meet her? " she asked, raising an eyebrow. 

" I guess so, " he said uncertainly. 

She waved him inside and shut the door. 

" Kelsey! Could you come out here, please? " Maize called down the hallway. 

Will heard a door being closed and then footsteps as Kelsey made her way out to the living room. From the hallway came the short, redheaded girl he saw the night before. He almost wanted to let out an exasperated sigh, but stopped himself. 

" So this is the guy, huh? " Kelsey asked, crossing her arms. 

" Kels, this is Will. Will, this is Kelsey, " Maize introduced the two of them. 

" Nice to meet you, " he said, trying not to sound as nervous as he felt. 

At the very least, she didn't seem to remember their encounter. Kelsey was wearing a gray t-shirt, pink short shorts, and black socks. Her hair was straight now and hung freely. Kelsey stared at him intently for a few moments before her expression changed to anger. 

" You're the shithead who bumped into me last night! " she yelled, pointing an accusatory finger at him. 

" What? " Maize said surprised. 

" Last night when I was getting on the elevator some guy bumped me and almost knocked me over. I just read his thoughts and he was the guy! " Kelsey explained to her. 

" It was an accident. I said I was sorry. " Will quickly interjected. 

" I asked you not to read his mind. It's rude. " Maize scolded Kelsey. 

" I wanted to know more about the normie you told our secret to. Know if I could trust him. I just met him and he's already hiding stuff from us. " Kelsey replied. 

" All he did was bump into you. It's no big deal. " 

" I want to know what else he's hiding. " 

She walked right up to him and stared directly into his eyes. 

" Um... You don't have to read my mind. I could answer any questions you have about me. " he said, feeling uncomfortable. 

" You could lie. I'll learn everything I need to this way. " 

" Alright. Cut it out, Kels. " Maize said. 

" Oooooh! You have a foot fetish? And Maize shrunk you down to massage her feet last night. That's weird. You didn't mention that, Maize. And you- " 

She was cut off by Maize stepping between her and Will. 

" That's enough. Seriously. " she warned. 

Maize was a good few inches taller than Kelsey and she looked down at her with a stony expression. 

" Whatever. You two can do the weird stuff you were going to. I'll be in my room. You might wanna ask him about what he did in the shower this morning. Nice meeting you, Will. " Kelsey said, walking away. 

Will stood awkwardly in silence as Kelsey made her way to her room and slammed the door. Apparently she was always that rude. He hadn't even really considered that she could read his mind too. In a matter of moments, she had learned his biggest secret and more. She obviously didn't have any problems with doing it like Maize did. 

" Sorry about her. She said she wouldn't read your mind. I swear she's not always like that, " Maize finally said, breaking the silence. 

" It's alright, " Will replied. 

" Come on. Let's talk in my room. " 

He followed her into the room and she closed the door. 

" Should I even ask about what you did in the shower? " she asked. 

" I'd rather you didn't, " he said, avoiding her questioning look. 

" Okay. Let me tell you some of the ideas I had. " 

Maize sat on the edge of her bed with her legs crossed Indian style. When he continued to stand, she patted the spot next to her. 

" Take a seat. " 

He did as she asked and sat down. 

" What's your idea? " 

" The morning after we first met you said I was the first person who knew about your fetish, right? I'm the only one who knows? " 

" Well Kelsey knows now, but yeah you were the first. I'm pretty sure a couple ex-girlfriends had their suspicions too. "  

" What I'm trying to get at is that you've never actually told anyone about your fetish. I found out about it because I read your mind and so did Kelsey. Your ex-girlfriends put it together themselves. " 

" Oh. Yeah. That's right, " he said, looking at the floor. 

" It's nothing to be ashamed of, Will. I get it. This is where my first idea comes in. I think we should do another test run before you move on to telling Rebecca. It would give you a little bit of experience with telling someone and maybe boost your confidence, " Maize said, patting him on the shoulder. 

" Alright. That makes sense. How exactly would we do that though? " 

" I figured on your next day off we'd go to a bar or a club and you would pick up a girl. Once you got to her place or yours, you would tell her about your fetish. Whatever happens after that, I'll just erase her memory about your fetish when one of you leaves. " 

" It's been awhile since I've 'picked up' any girls, Maize. What if I can't find one who's interested? " Will asked. 

" That's why I'm going with you. If you're having trouble, I can help you out. " 

" Are you going to influence them like you did to me? That doesn't seem right. " 

" Not necessarily. When I influence someone I can't make them do something they wouldn't do by themselves. I couldn't make two people who have no interest in each other suddenly want to have sex, for example. Only something they already wanted to do on some level. " she explained. 

" Okay. I guess that's alright. What were your other ideas? " 

" My other idea might be more tricky. There's this potion I know of that links two people's dreams. With a little bit of alteration I could make it so you and Rebecca are fully aware of what's happening while you're dreaming. Once your dreams are linked, I can use my magic to control the dream. You could tell Rebecca your secret and see how it goes. If it goes poorly, she'll just think it was a weird dream when she wakes up. If it goes well, you two could have some fun in the dream. " Maize said, smiling. 

Will had to admit both of her ideas sounded good. She must have put some serious thought into this. One thing she said stood out to him. 

" Wait. You make potions? Like bubble, bubble, toil and trouble potions? " he said, making a swirling motion with his finger. 

Maize narrowed her eyes at him. " No, Will. I do not stand over a cauldron and say that. Nor do I wear a pointy hat, robes, or ride on a broom. This isn't a fairy tale or Harry Potter. " 

" Sorry, sorry. I wasn't trying to offend you. " he apologized, holding his hands up. 

" Anyways, yes, we do make potions. Sometimes magic itself isn't enough or we need to be discreet. Our magic may not always work on another witch, but a potion can. " 

She stood up and went over to her dresser. 

" What did you think all these bottles were the first time you were here? Makeup? " 

" I don't know. Guess I didn't put much thought into it. I did just find out the girl I met at a bar is a witch and was shrunken to twelve inches tall. " 

" Fair point. These are all potions that I keep around just in case. Weak sleeping potion, hangover cure, and general sickness cure. " Maize said, gesturing to different bottles. 

" Wow. That's amazing. What other potions can you make? " 

" There's this one. I whipped it up after meeting you. Go ahead and try it. " 

She held out a small bottle full of a purple liquid. 

" Uhhh... What does it do exactly? " he asked, peering at the bottle. 

" Not telling. If you trust me, you'll drink. " 

" Okay, but I better not turn into a rat or something. " 

" That's the spirit! " 

Will took the bottle and uncorked it. He sniffed at the contents, but there was no odor. 

" How much should I drink? " 

" All of it. " 

He swirled the liquid around and downed it all in one gulp. The potion tasted sour almost like an energy drink of some kind. Maize laughed at the face he made after tasting it. 

" Can you tell me what it does now? " he said, smacking his lips. 

" Wait for it. " she replied, grinning. 

" Come on. Wh- " 

He stopped talking when a wave of dizziness washed over him. Maize began to grow in height by the second. He looked down to see his legs receding into his shorts. His shirt ballooned out until he was inside of it. His shoes and socks slid right off his feet, clunking onto the floor. He continued to dwindle in size until he wasn't much bigger than he had been the previous night at three inches tall. His giant shirt, shorts, and boxers now formed a cavern around him. The light from the window faintly shined through. 

" A shrinking potion. I should've guessed. " he thought, standing up. 

" Hold on, little guy. I'll get you out of there. " Maize said from above him. 

The shirt opened and her hand grabbed him gently. Her huge fingers wrapped around his naked body, then lifted him out. She brought her hand up to her smiling face. 

" Sorry. I had to test the batch of shrinking potion I made and I figured you wouldn't mind. I made some after the night we met. Something told me I'd be needing it soon. " 

" A little warning would've been nice. I'm still not quite used to shrinking. " Will said, trying to adjust to a more comfortable position in her grip. 

" Oh, don't act like you don't love being this small. I must say you're pretty cute at this size. " 

" Alright. It's not the worst thing ever. Isn't everything cuter mini sized? " 

" True. So what do you think of my ideas? Think they'd work? " she asked, sitting down beside his discarded clothes. 

" Yeah. Both of them are great. When did you plan on doing them? " 

" I figure we can try the first one on your next day off. The second one will have to wait a little while. It's gonna take some time to get everything I need for the dream potion. " 

" Okay. Looks like we have a plan. " 

The idea of finally telling Rebecca the truth made Will excited. He had no clue how she was going to react when he took off his mask for her, but just telling the truth would be a huge weight off his mind. He hoped that she would accept him for who he was and maybe give a relationship a chance. 

" So, my tiny friend, is there anything you'd like to do while you're this size? " Maize asked, raising an eyebrow. 

" There is one thing that comes to mind. " he replied, putting his thumb and index finger on his chin. 

" Let me take a wild guess. " 

She shoved his clothes off the bed and laid out across it on her side. She set him down in front of her carefully. 

" What are you waiting for? Get down there, shorty. " 

" You got it! " 

Smiling like a fool, Will ran to Maize's feet. Her feet were sitting one on top of the other horizontally. Her soles were wrinkled up and her toes clenched. He breathed in the now familiar smell of her feet. This was never going to get old for him. 

" Why don't you start at the heel and work your way up. " she suggested, resting her head on her hand. 

He was roughly the same height as her foot when it was on its side. Some muscle would be needed at this size for her to feel him rubbing. He stuck his elbow into the plush flesh and moved it around, applying as much pressure as he could. 

" Yes. That's great. " 

Encouraged by her words, Will worked his way up her foot using his elbow and hands. When he got to her toes, he started at the pinky toe and went up. As he was rubbing, her toes suddenly grabbed him. His face was forced into the underside of her big toe. His member slid between the third and fourth toe. 

" Looks like I caught a little man between my toes. " Maize said, giggling. 

" Very funny. " Will said, his voice muffled by her big toe. 

In response the toes clutching him began to wiggle. The big toe lightly smacked against his face. The second toe caressed his chest. The third and fourth were rubbing his now erect manhood. The toes moved back and forth, making him more aroused. If she continued doing it much longer, he was going to blow his load everywhere. He wasn't even sure if he wanted her to stop. 

" Maize... " he managed to breathe out. 

Moments after the word escaped his lips, the door to Maize's room flung open. 

" That's it! I can't take it anymore. " the voice of Kelsey shouted angrily. 

Maize's toes suddenly released him and he fell to the mattress on his back. 

" Jeez, Kels. You could've at least knocked. " Maize said, standing up. 

" I was in my room minding my own business and all I can hear is this little freak's gross thoughts. It's disgusting. " Kelsey said, pointing at him. 

Will just laid there, not knowing what to say in response. He looked down to see his dick was still at full mast and pointing straight up into the air. He was somewhat concerned about Kelsey seeing him naked, but he was only three inches tall. She wouldn't be able to see much unless she really looked. 

" You don't have to listen. All you have to do is tune him out. " Maize replied. 

" That's kind of hard to do when all he's thinking about is how turned on he is while you're giving him a foot job. " 

Maize blushed slightly when Kelsey said it. 

" Okay. I'm sorry, Kelsey. I'll give you some warning ahead of time from now on. If it happens again though, please knock before you come in. " Maize said politely. 

Kelsey's angry expression seemed to soften a bit and then she looked down at Will. Her expression turned into a scowl. 

" Fine. You keep your nasty thoughts to yourself, shrimp. " 

With that, Kelsey left the room. The door swung shut by itself behind her. 

" That seal's it. I'm going to have to find something that makes it so no witch can read your thoughts. Not even me. " 

" That'd be nice. Having both of you read my mind constantly got old fast. " Will said, getting up. 

He was still very much aroused, but it didn't seem like he would be getting relief for now. 

" Damn. All worked up for nothing. " he thought, dejectedly. 

" Until I do find a way, we probably shouldn't do anymore foot rubs. Just for a bit. " she added upon seeing his sad face. 

" You don't have to make me normal sized yet, right? I won't massage your feet, but can I still be by them? We could talk. " he practically begged her. 

Maize couldn't help but smile at him. 

" Alright. You can stay down there. Don't get any funny ideas though, mister. " 

Will crossed his heart. She returned to the same position from before they were interrupted. 

" Climb on. " Maize said, extending one of her feet to him sideways. 

He climbed up to the top of her foot using her toes as ladder rungs. Once there, he sat down on the side of her foot with his legs hanging off the edge. 

" So what did you want to talk about, little guy? " 

" I thought of some more questions this morning. " 

" Lay them on me. " 

" Are you and Kelsey the only witches in town? " 

" Least as far as I know. Other witches are pretty easy to pick out if we cross paths. Plus all witches are supposed to register where they're living to the Council for safety reasons. If someone goes missing or if something bad happens they need to know. Every few months we check in with one of their representatives. Not everyone registers though. " she explained. 

" So you guys have a Witches Council? " 

" Yes. They're our governing body basically. They make the rules and enforce them. If a witch commits a crime, they decide the punishment. Their representatives are our information network. If there's important information they need to share, the reps give it to us. " 

" Does this rep live in town then? " he asked, adjusting his position on her foot. 

" Nah. She lives a couple towns over. That's why we only see her every few months. If we need to talk to her any other time, we send a message. " 

Will was somewhat comforted now that he knew he wouldn't stumble across a bad witch by chance. Besides Kelsey of course. His mind drifted back to the thought he had after bumping into her the night before. He wanted to ask Maize about it, but what if Kelsey was still reading his thoughts? 

" You uh... don't think Kelsey's still listening. Right? " Will said, tentatively. 

" Doubt it. She's probably listening to music or something. What's up? " Maize replied. 

" I was just wondering... Why are you and Kelsey roommates? The two of you seem so different. You're so nice and she's kind of... mean. " he asked, peeking at the door behind him. 

" It's sort of complicated. I met Kels a couple years ago. The only reason I did was because she was a little too free with her magic. I helped get her out of some magical trouble. It turned out she didn't really know all that much about magic. Our mothers are usually supposed to teach us how to use our powers, but Kelsey's mom skipped out on her when she was still a kid. All she learned was the basics. I decided that I'd teach her everything I knew. Eventually we agreed that we should move in together. There's safety in numbers for witches. That's why we form covens. " 

" Wow. " 

He hadn't thought about it until right then, but maybe Kelsey had a good reason for the way she acted. He couldn't imagine what it would've been like if his mother had just walked out on him at a young age. 

" To be honest, I also worried Kelsey was heading down a bad road like her mom. I hoped I could push her in the right direction. " 

" And how'd that go? " Will said with a smirk. 

" It's a work in progress. You didn't hear any of that from me by the way and try not to think about it around Kelsey. " she replied. 

" I'll do my best. " 

" Did you have any more questions or w- " 

Maize was cut off by the sound of electronic musical notes. 

" That's my phone. " he said, looking towards his pile of clothes. 

" Hop off. I'll make you big again so you can get that. " 

Will slid off her foot and landed on the bed with a small bounce. He wished he didn't have to return to normal size just yet. The whole time they were talking, he had been sporting a half chub. Whatever that text message said better be important. She put him down on the floor and aimed her palm at him. In seconds, he was big again. He quickly pulled on his boxers before digging his phone out of his shorts. The text was from Rebecca. It read: 

" Alright Will. We haven't hung out in days and you've been acting weird. Whatever you're doing, drop it and come over here ASAP. " 

Uh oh. Rebecca didn't get like this very often, but when she did she wouldn't take no for an answer. 

" Ok ok. I'm on my way. Be there in 15. " he replied back. 

" Who was it? " Maize asked, leaning against the wall at the head of her bed. 

" Rebecca. She wants me to come over. Now. " Will said, getting dressed. 

" Sounds like you better get going. I'll let you know when I find a way to stop the mind reading. " 

" Yeah. Thanks again for all of this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. " 

" Will. You don't have to keep saying thank you every time we do something. I'm doing this because I want to. I'll see ya later. Try not to get too... excited at Rebecca's. " she said, laughing. 

" Ha ha. I'll try my best not to. Bye. " 

He finished re-tying his shoes and walked out of Maize's room. After just removing his mask with Maize, now he had to put it back on and hope it doesn't slip while he's at Rebecca's apartment. 

Behind The Mask: Chapter 8

“ H-Hey, Kelsey... I was just getting ready to leave. “ Will said, taking a step away from the intimidating witch.

He placed both of his hands over his exposed crotch. He was already nervous enough without her looking at his shrunken manhood. Kelsey watched him silently, almost like a predator sizing up it’s prey before it pounced. A shiver went down his spine.

“ It’s too late for that, normie. I warned you about keeping your dirty, little thoughts to yourself. “ Kelsey replied, moving closer.

“ I’m sorry, alright? I begged Maize to let me do it again. We thought you were asleep. “

“ Whatever. You’re coming with me for awhile. Keep your mouth shut. “

Kelsey raised her hand, pinching two of her fingers and her thumb together. All three digits emitted a bright, red light and at the same time Will’s mouth closed forcefully. He started to ask her what she had done, but was unable to open his mouth. All that came out was the muffled sound of his words. He tried to pry open his mouth with his fingers, but his lips were firmly stuck together.

“ Relax. It’s not permanent. Don’t move. “ she ordered.

Using the same hand, she pointed the palm at him. He quickly began to shrink even further. He was level with Kelsey’s stomach, then her waist, her knees, and finally barely taller than her ankles. The witches pale feet were now the size of cars to him. Her toes were painted a metallic pink color.

“ Betcha love what you see, perv. “ Kelsey said from above.

Will looked up at the gigantic Kelsey in fear. He thought his situation was bad before. Whatever she had planned, he wasn’t going to stick around to find out. Without thinking, he turned and ran away from Kelsey. More than likely it wouldn’t help, but what other option did he have?

“ Are you seriously trying to run? You’re more stupid than I thought. “

Ignoring her rude comment, he continued sprinting as fast as possible. Maybe he could get out of sight and hide until Maize woke up. Will made it only about ten steps before a huge foot crashed down in his path. The impact sent a tremor through the floor, knocking him off his feet. He landed in a heap, his arm taking the brunt of the fall. Clutching his sore elbow, he rolled over just in time to see Kelsey’s hand descending towards him. She roughly picked him up in one hand. He was brought up to eye level where she glared at him.

“ If you got hurt, it’s your own fault. Shouldn’t have tried to run. “ she said, shaking her head.

Will attempted to speak again, but his mouth was still magically sealed.

“ I can read your mind, remember? Think what you want to say. “

“ Why are you doing this? “ he thought intensely.

“ Because you need to know what happens when you don’t do as I say. Plus we should get to know each other better if you’re going to be around more. “ Kelsey answered, smiling wickedly.

The way she said it made him think she didn’t want to have a nice meet and greet. Her fingers tightened their grip around him, making his sore arm hurt. He had come to trust Maize when she held him, even feeling safe in her hands, but he felt no such thing with Kelsey. He feared she might crush him like soda can at any moment. As they walked past Maize’s room, Kelsey waved her hand and the door swung closed. It seemed Maize would not be saving him. Will took another nervous gulp.

The formerly short witch carried him into her room, locking the door behind her. He inspected the dungeon that was Kelsey’s room. Her bed was immediately to the left of the door, made with dark blue sheets. Across the room from the doorway was a beige desk with a laptop computer and lamp set up on it. The desk had drawers and overhead shelves lined with books. Two more bookshelves were in the room as well. A short one up against the far wall and a tall one next to the desk. He guessed witches needed a lot of books for potions and such. There was also a dresser against the wall to the right of the door. A few posters of bands he recognized but didn’t listen to were hung up.

Will noticed that she only had one picture in the room. A photo of her and Maize stood in a frame on top of the dresser. The two of them were making funny faces at the camera at what looked like a concert. The picture couldn’t have been taken more than a year ago. His attention was returned to what Kelsey was doing when her hand began to lower. Her fingers released their hold, leaving him laying in her palm.

“ Going up, shrimp. “ she said with a laugh.

He started to ask what the hell she was talking about when he was suddenly thrown high into the air. One second he was in her hand, the next he was flying through empty space. Will screamed in fear, but his cries were dulled by Kelsey’s magic. There was a brief moment of weightlessness at the peak of the throw, then he fell. He could only watch as he zoomed closer and closer to the floor. A fall from this height had to be lethal for a person at his small size. Images of his body smashing on the ground like a cheap toy flashed through his mind.

Bracing himself for the worst, Will closed his eyes. Something clamped around his waist in mid-air without warning, giving him a jolt. He opened his eyes to see that he was being hung in the air by his waist. Looking at his waist revealed that nothing was there. He definitely felt something there, but it seemed like it was invisible. He looked up above to find Kelsey pointing her index finger at him. She had caught him using her powers.

“ You didn’t think I’d let you die that easily, right? “ she asked.

Honestly, he didn’t know what she was capable of at this point. His heart was racing a mile a minute. The invisible force started to raise him. He had been less than a foot from the ground when she caught him. Steadily, he moved up and then over the bed before being dropped onto it. Will landed on his feet with a slight bounce.

Kelsey looked down on him with a joy in her eye that made him think she liked not being the smallest person in the room for a change. Maybe it was the power she had over him. Whatever the case, she appeared to be thoroughly enjoying this. Kelsey did the reverse motion she made earlier, this time separating her fingers and thumb with the same red glow. He instantly felt his mouth released from the spell she placed on it. He put a hand on his jaw and worked it around. Having it locked in place for so long made it hurt a bit.

“ So what do you have to say for yourself, runt? “ she said, sitting on her bed.

“ Please, Kelsey. Don’t do this. I said I was sorry. If you make me normal size, I’ll get out of here. “ Will pleaded, hoping to appeal to any amount of good in her.

“ No, no. You still need to be punished. Should’ve listened when I warned you. “

So much for that idea.

“ You can’t do this! I’m a human being. Not some pet you punish for being bad. “ he yelled, beginning to get angry.

“ Oh, I can’t? I can do practically anything I want with my magic. I could turn you into a bug and squash you. I could make you do everything I want like an obedient slave. What are you gonna do to stop me, little man? “ Kelsey jeered, poking him in the stomach with enough force to knock him off his feet.

“ Hey! “ he shouted in surprise.

Next thing he knew, she pinched his ankle between her giant fingers and lifted him into the air. He was brought up to her eyes. The two big, green orbs watched him dangle with amusement. Both of his arms and his other leg hung limply down.

“ Put me down! “

“ Hmmm... How should I punish this itty bitty bug? “ she wondered aloud, ignoring him.

She was clearly hamming it up for his benefit. He would have rolled his eyes, but didn’t want to make his situation any worse.

“ I know. I’ll just eat him. That way I’ll never have to hear his gross thoughts again and no one will know. “

Kelsey raised him even further in the air and over her head. She tilted her head back, opening her huge maw. Will was reminded of videos he’d seen depicting caverns that went straight down into the earth. Except this one was pink, fleshy, and moist. He could even see her uvula down in her throat.

“ This isn’t funny, Kelsey. “

“ Who’s joking? “

With that, she began to slowly lower him towards her mouth. Fearing she was actually going to eat him, he started flailing wildly. Her vice grip on his ankle didn’t loosen.

“ If you keep fighting, I’ll have to chew. “

He stopped struggling because it was useless. Kelsey’s tongue slithered out like a pink, slimy monster. He felt her hot breath washing over him.

“ Maize! Please wake up! Please wake up! “ Will yelled in his mind.

When he was centimeters from being inside of her mouth, she moved him away and released his ankle. He unceremoniously fell to the mattress on his back. He could hear Kelsey snickering overhead. The cruel witch was messing with him. Groaning, he rolled onto his stomach and got up to his knees.

“ Have you had your fun yet? “ he asked.

“ What? You’re not having fun too? Well, that’s not fair. I think I know a punishment you’ll like too. “ she said sarcastically.

Kelsey swung her legs up onto the bed, placing her feet in front of him.

“ Oh, no. “ he thought, afraid to see what she had in store.

“ Oh, yes, shrimp. “

Her right foot shot forward, hitting him square in the chest and bowling him over. Before he knew what was happening, her foot planted on top of him. He was trapped between her sole and the mattress. Kelsey’s foot appeared to be noticeably smaller than Maize’s, especially compared to the size they were earlier that night. Her short toes pressed on his upper chest, keeping him pinned in place. His member was touching her sole near the ball of her foot. The position reminded him of what he and Maize did earlier, except he doubted it would end as nicely.

“ Wha... What are you doing? “

“ Crushing you with the thing you have a fetish for. You’ll probably enjoy this, foot freak. “

The foot started to push down on his body. Will instantly felt discomfort everywhere as he was flattened against the bed. Kelsey continued to exert pressure, watching with a wicked grin. The air was forced out of his lungs and he found it increasingly difficult to breathe. Discomfort quickly turned to pain. Even though they were on a mattress the weight being put on him was becoming too much to bear.

He could practically feel his bones bending under the pressure. Perhaps the worst part was that he was getting aroused by being in close contact with her foot. He didn’t want Kelsey to know how much of a weakness his fetish truly was. She knew about the mask he wore, but she couldn’t see what he looked like beneath it. Soon enough he could barely breathe at all.

“ Kelsey... I can’t... breathe... “ he wheezed out.

The giantess merely kept watching, not saying a word. Within seconds, the last of his air was gone. It didn’t seem like her foot would be letting up. Now the question was which would kill him first: his body popping like a grape or the lack of oxygen? As his eyes got blurry from asphyxiation, a miracle happened. Kelsey removed her foot from his body. He sucked in large gasps of air and coughed uncontrollably.

“ Jesus. You actually got a hard-on. You’re pathetic. “ she sighed, flicking his erect member with her finger.

Will glared at her while he continued breathing heavily. His whole body was sore from getting squashed now.

“ I suppose that’s enough punishment for one night. Come here. “

The red-headed witch stood and scooped him up in her hands. He wanted to yell some choice words at her, but held his tongue so she wouldn’t change her mind about letting him go. She carried him to the door of Maize’s room where she stopped.

“ Listen, normie. This is the last time I’m going to warn you. From now on when I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t, the punishment will be much worse than tonight. If you tell Maize about what happened, I will make you disappear and nobody will ever find you. Got it? “ Kelsey stated, fixing him with a death stare.

He slowly nodded in response. She opened the door to reveal Maize still sleeping soundly.

“ Wait. Can you please make me normal size? I have work in the morning, so I need to get home. “ he begged.

“ Not my problem. Get Maize to make you big again. “

She walked over and dumped him onto the bed. Without another word, Kelsey left the room and closed the door. Will sat with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He didn’t think Kelsey could get any worse than the first impression he got of her, but he was wrong. She was ten times worse than he thought. She got some sick pleasure out of toying with him. She used her magic to scare and control him. He almost died twice while she held him captive. The complete and total opposite of Maize. Her mother walking out on her was no excuse for the way she acted. He would try to avoid her as much as possible now.

He looked over at the sleeping form of Maize. Waking her up had been hard enough when he was bigger, now it might as well be impossible. Plus, he had no idea how to explain his new size. He was stuck there for the rest of the night or until Maize woke up. If he got in trouble at work because of this, he was going to be pissed.

His encounter with Kelsey had left him tired, sore, angry, frightened, and aroused all at the same time. Not knowing what else to do, he returned to Maize’s outstretched foot and laid on the sole. He planted a soft kiss on her sole. He had a whole new admiration for Maize’s kindness. Trying to forget his hellacious time Kelsey, Will drifted to sleep again.

“ Will? It’s morning, little guy. Time to get up. “

Will’s eyes slowly blinked open at the sound of Maize’s voice. The first thing he saw was her gigantic face hovering over him. He nearly had a heart attack. His eyes snapped wide open as he scrambled backwards in surprise.

“ Whoa, whoa. What is it? “ she asked, rising to her full tremendous height.

“ I-I don’t know. I guess I forgot I was small... “ he stammered.

“ Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just remembered you saying you had work this morning last night. It’s 8:14. “

Now that he was fully awake after the momentary scare, he recalled everything that happened the night before. Kelsey abducting and playing with him, then leaving him on Maize’s bed. He had forty-five minutes to make it to work! Since he had to drive home and get ready, he’d never get there in time. Schneider would have another thing to hold over his head. It was all Kelsey’s fault.

“ Shit! I’m gonna be late for work! “ he said, climbing to his feet.

“ Hmmm... Not necessarily. Is my apartment closer to where you work than your place? “ Maize said, tapping a finger on her lips.

“ Yeah, it is. Why? “

“ I know a way to get you to your apartment and back here that’s way faster than driving. “

“ Alright. Let’s do it. “

“ Here. Let’s get you big first. “

She aimed her hand at him and he grew until he was standing at normal size on the bed. Once she was done, he hopped off and collected his clothes from the floor.

“ Don’t bother putting that on. It’ll waste time. Come over here. “ she said as he started putting his shirt on.

He went and stood in front of her.

“ Okay. This will feel weird, so brace yourself for that. Just focus on me ‘til it’s over. Hold my hand and don’t let go. “

Will held her hand and she gripped his tightly.

“ Ready? “

He took a deep breath.

“ Ready. “ he answered.

Maize closed her eyes like she was concentrating hard. Suddenly, a white light began to swirl around their feet and rose higher by the second. In under a minute, the light completely surrounded them and he had to squint because it was so bright. There was a blinding flash that made him shut his own eyes. A wave of nausea suddenly swept over him as well. He dropped the clothes and clamped his hand on his mouth as he gagged repeatedly. Maize let go of his hand and placed hers comfortingly on his bare back.

“ Are you okay? “ she asked, sounding worried.

“ Yeah... Think so... “ Will said when the queasiness subsided.

He looked around to discover something amazing. They were inside his apartment!

“ You can teleport?! “ he asked, shocked.

“ Yes. It uses a lot of magic though and it’s pretty flashy as you saw, so I don’t do it very often. Can’t have normal people seeing us flash into a public place. Also, we can only teleport to places we’ve been before or somewhere we can picture in our mind. “

“ That’s incredible! “

“ Thanks. While I’d love to tell you more about it, shouldn’t you be getting ready for work? “ Maize said, dropping her knees onto the couch and leaning over the top of it.

“ Crap. You’re right. “

He tossed the dirty clothes into the laundry basket and searched for what he would wear to work.

“ By the way, why were you so small when I woke you up? I thought I made you bigger than that when you went to the bathroom. In fact... I don’t remember you coming back from the bathroom at all. “

He froze as he grabbed a pair of pants out of his dresser. He never came up with an excuse for his smaller size after Kelsey shrunk him. If Maize figured it out, he didn’t want to think about what Kelsey would do to him. Thinking fast, he turned towards her.

“ You don’t remember? I came back from the bathroom and told you I decided to just stay the night because I was tired. You shrunk me and put me back on your bed. To be fair, you were still half asleep. “ he answered, trying not to sound nervous.

“ Huh. Guess I was pretty tired. “

“ Yep. “

Turning back around, he breathed a silent sigh of relief. He quickly finished picking out his work clothes and ran to the bathroom.

“ I’m gonna shower real fast. You can watch TV or something. “ he told her, closing the door.

Will took a very quick shower, only washing the most important parts. When he was done, he toweled off and threw on some boxers, a white dress shirt, black pants, and his belt. He opened the bathroom door, letting all the steam out, to see Maize laying on the couch watching the local news. He stuffed the tie he chose into his work bag to put on later. He would have to get something to eat at work. Jumping over the couch, he landed on the far end from where Maize’s head was, so he could put on his socks and shoes. Her feet slid into his lap as he tied the shoelaces.

“ Um... I thought you said we can’t do that until you find something to block my mind. “ he said, placing his hand on her foot.

“ I know. It’s fun teasing you though. “ she replied, giving him that mischievous grin.

“ Ha. Ha. Very cute. “ he responded dryly, shoving her feet off him.

“ Hehe, come on. Let’s get back to my apartment. “

Both of them went behind the couch. He slung the bag over his shoulder and moved next to her. They held each other’s hand, closed their eyes, and in a flash they were in Maize’s living room. Will pressed the back of his hand against his lips as he fought the urge to vomit.

“ Do you ever get used to that? “ he asked.

“ Eventually. “

She fell backwards into one of the armchairs so her legs hung off the side.

“ You should say goodbye to these two. Probably won’t be seeing them for awhile. “ Maize said, holding her feet up and flexing the toes as if they were waving.

“ You’re enjoying this way too much. I gotta go. “

He playfully slapped the soles of her feet and walked to the front door. He looked down the hallway as he went by. Thankfully, it appeared Kelsey was still asleep.

“ I’ll text you when I find something to keep your thoughts private or if something comes up before then. Bye, Will. “

“ See ya later. “

He left Maize’s apartment and went to the elevator. It really started to sink in that he would have to go an unknown amount of time without removing his mask. This was going to be difficult.

Behind The Mask: Chapter 9

Will stood in the laundry room of his apartment building, which was really just the basement, folding his freshly cleaned clothes. Five days had passed since the... interesting night he spent at Maize's place. It was now Saturday morning and he decided to get an early start on his weekly chores. The past week had been pretty rough. Maize hadn't contacted him at all in that time so he had no idea how her search for something to keep his thoughts private was going. It also meant that he went five days without playing with Maize's feet as per their agreement.

Needless to say, Will didn't hold up very well. The first couple days were fine. By Wednesday the part of him under the mask was itching to be freed. He watched some videos online, but it couldn't even remotely compare to the real thing. When that failed, he tried visualizing the last time they had fun.

He did manage to jerk off, but all it accomplished was making him crave another foot session more. To make matters worse, Rebecca wanted to hang out multiple times that week and would not take no for an answer. He couldn't blame her for wanting to keep an eye on him after he basically admitted to being depressed. Because of his agreement with Maize though, it was harder than before to control his urges. Every time they were together it took all of his willpower to wrench his eyes away from her feet.

Will sighed heavily as he loaded the clothes into a laundry basket. Wrapping an arm around the basket, he held it against his chest and exited the laundry room. As he was walking down the hall, his phone started to ring.

" Ah, jeez. Is it Becca again? " he thought, taking it out of his pocket.

The name on the screen was Maize! He eagerly tapped the answer button, hoping she had good news.

" Hello? "

" Good morning! How have you been? " Maize asked, cheerfully.

" Okay. Did you find what you were looking for? "

" Straight to the point, huh? I might have. Can you come over right now? " she said with a laugh.

" Now? Isn’t it a little early? " he replied, looking at the time. It wasn?t even 9 AM yet.

" Just get over here. It'll be worth your while. "

Will couldn't resist the possibility of being at Maize's feet again.

" I gotta put laundry away, then I'll be right over. " 

" See you soon! "

He hung up and made a beeline for the stairs, taking them two at a time.

.:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:.

Maize opened the front door with a large smile on her face.

" Hey there, stranger. "

She stepped into the hall and gave Will a hug.

" Sorry about being rude on the phone earlier. How are you? " he asked, hugging her back. 

" I'm good. No need to be sorry. I figured you'd be kind of on edge. " she replied, letting go.

They went inside the apartment and he closed the door behind him. It looked like Maize had just finished working out or planned on doing it soon. She was wearing a black exercise crop top that exposed her lean stomach and black yoga leggings that ended halfway down her calves. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. His eyes wandered to her feet as she walked away from him.

The soles of the two bare beauties flashed at him with each step. He could feel his member twitching in his pants at the sight of them. He also saw something he had never noticed before, probably because this was the first time she had worn a shirt so low cut. On the upper right part of her back by the right shoulder, there was a patch of skin that looked scarred and uneven as if she had been burned.

" Dang. That looks painful. "

Maize stopped and turned to him.

" What does? "

" Your shoulder. Mind if I ask what happened? "

" Oh... It was a few years ago. There was an incident with another witch. Some wounds even magic can't heal completely. Ones caused by magic especially. Maybe I'll tell you about it some other time. " she explained, putting a hand on her shoulder.

More questions came to mind, but it seemed like she wanted to change the subject so he moved on.

" Okay. Why did you call me over here? "

" For this. "

She went and grabbed something from the coffee table.

" I actually had it yesterday. Figured I'd wait one more day to see if you broke down. " Maize said, with a grin.

" That's just mean. "

She offered her closed fist to him. He held out his hand and she dropped the object into it. The object was a strip of leather sewed around a length of black yarn. A series of symbols were etched into the leather as well. Will had no idea what any of them meant.

" A bracelet? " he said, inspecting it.

" A warded bracelet. That's what those runes are for. As long as you're wearing that, no witch should be able to hear your thoughts. "

 " Really? It's that simple? "

" The hard part was finding the right runes to block mind reading only. Why don't we test it? " Maize tied the bracelet around his left wrist. " Think about something hard. I'll try to read your mind. "

He closed his eyes and let his mind go blank. The first thing that popped into his head was an image of Maize's feet. Specifically from the last time he got to play with her feet. Her magically enlarged foot pressing down on his whole body. The thought of it quickly made him aroused.

" Nope. Can't hear anything. Although I can take a wild guess what you're thinking. " she said, holding her foot up and twirling it around.

" Don't need to be a mind reader to get that right. " Will replied, chuckling.

" True. So with that problem solved, we can get started on my plan. " 

" You mean the test run with another girl... When did you plan on doing that exactly? " he asked, apprehensively.

" Ah, c'mon. Don't be like that, Will. You're a great guy. You should have no problems taking a girl home. I figured we could do it tonight since we're both free. It'll be fun. "

" Fine. We can do it tonight. I got some stuff I need to do before then though. "

" Alright. We'll talk more about that later. Do you have time to hang around for a bit? " Maize asked, walking around the couch to stand on a rolled out yoga mat.

" Yeah, I guess so. Need a yoga partner? "

" Something like that. " she said with a grin.

" Do a lot of yoga? "

" Every morning and whenever the local yoga studio needs me to fill in for a class. It helps relax me. Bad things can happen if a witch isn't in control of their emotions. "

" You're a yoga instructor? " Will asked, sitting on the arm of the couch.

" Part time. What'd you think me and Kelsey did for money? Conjure it with magic? I teach yoga and she works as a waitress. "

" Kelsey? A waitress? Bite someone's head off if they so much as look at her funny Kelsey? That's funny. Shit, wait a minute. She's not home, is she? "

He leaned back on the couch, trying to see down the hallway. The last thing he needed was for Kelsey to hear him making fun of her.

" She's not here. Kels can play nice when she has to... or at least pretend to. "

Will wanted to tell her how wrong she was, but remembered Kelsey's warning. Maybe this bracelet would prove useful in making sure Maize didn't hear things she shouldn't too. Shaking off the bad memory of being Kelsey's toy, he returned his attention to Maize who appeared to be doing warm-up stretches.

" So if you don't need a partner, why do you need me? " 

" I don't know. Maybeee... a foot cushion? " Maize said, tapping a finger on her lips in thought.

" Really? Right now? " he asked, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

" You held up your end of the bargain and I know it was hard on you. I'm going to reward you. Strip, but leave the bracelet on. If Kelsey shows up, she won't even know you're here. "

Will had already started removing his clothes before she finished talking. As he took them off, she folded and stashed them under the coffee table. Once he was naked, Maize shrunk him down until he was only a few inches tall. Her giant feet stood in front of him, the toes scrunching as if they were inviting him closer. He couldn't contain himself any longer.

The mask was torn to pieces near instantly. Will ran to her right foot and hugged the big toe. He had missed these heavenly feet, their softness, even their scent. He began to plant kisses on the skin below the toenail.

" I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss this. Don't get too carried away though. " she laughed, watching from above.

The foot Will was hugging suddenly lifted into the air, forcing him to cling onto the side for dear life. He continued to hold on as the foot moved through the air and came stomping down at a new place. He was almost thrown off by the impact of her foots landing. At this point he realized this rough ride was merely Maize walking to the yoga mat. He could tell she was trying to be careful, but she still had so much power over him at this size which made him more aroused than he already had been.

He held on for the rest of the trip and while she sat down cross-legged, right foot on top of left knee, on the mat. Will slid along the side of her foot and ended up by her ankle. He stood on the small bump protruding from her ankle with his member at full mast. It was pointless trying to hide it anymore, Maize had seen it already and she would see it again.

" How exactly am I going to be a foot cushion? "

" With these. " she answered, holding up a roll of white athletic tape and a wadded up tissue.

" I'm still not seeing it. "

" You will. Now hop off my foot. Lay on it face down with your head up by the toes and try not to wiggle. " 

He went onto her knee while she titled her foot so the sole was facing the ceiling. Once it was level, he crawled across her sole and laid down with his head just below her toes. His penis rubbed against the soft sole, a sensation that never failed to send shivers down his spine.

" This what you wanted? " Will said, turning over to see her.

" That's perfect. Just stay still. " 

Maize unfolded the wadded up tissue and tore it in half. She put the two pieces together and folded them in half. She placed the folded tissue over his nude butt, using her fingers to keep it in place.

" Ummm... "

" You'll see in a second. "

Sticking the end of the athletic tape on his padded butt, she began to wind it around her foot. One finger stayed firmly on his back, pinning him where he was as she tilted her foot back up. She wound the tape around a few times, overlapping the previous circle each time before finally tearing it off the roll and sticking the other end on his behind. He was now securely taped to the bottom of her right foot.

" There! " Maize said triumphantly.

" I think I see what you're going for now. What's the tissue for though? " he asked, looking around as far as he could without turning his hips.

" So the tape doesn't hurt your little bum when we take it off. "

" Oh, well my bum appreciates that. " 

She let out a laugh at his response.

" It's very welcome. Here's the deal. I'm gonna do some yoga stretches with you as my foot cushion. If you can keep yourself from getting too excited until I'm done, I'll make it worth your while. "

" I don't know if I'll be able to stop myself, but I can give it a shot. "

" Alright. Let's get started. "

Maize repositioned her legs so both were on the floor and her feet touched sole to sole in front of her. Will was sandwiched between the two of them. His whole body was encased in warm foot flesh, including his fully erect member. She leaned forward until her head nearly touched her feet, stretching her spine. He could just barely see her face peering down at him a small opening between her feet.

" Cozy in there? " she asked with a giggle.

Managing to squeeze his hand through the hole, he gave her a thumbs up. After that, Maize stretched her legs out far apart from each other with her feet pointed straight up and reached to grab the foot he was on with her hands. Her huge fingers were on both sides of him, curled around the foot. The toes clenched, leaving their pads right by his face. He nuzzled his cheek against the third toe, inhaling it's aroma.

He could already feel his member beginning to ooze. Attempting to hold it in was going to be difficult. His unmasked side had been craving Maize's feet for days and wanted nothing more than to make sweet love to them like the first time she shrunk him. The promise of a reward if he was able to control himself kept Will from doing it right then. She repeated the same action with her other foot before standing.

With her foot flat on the floor, he was plunged into almost total darkness. Some light reached him from between her toes, but not much. The pressure of her gigantic body stepping on him was only mildly uncomfortable. Maize must have been putting most of her weight on the other foot. He also noticed he was starting to sweat from being in contact with her warm foot.

For her next position, she planted her right foot forward and bent her knee. She slid her left foot backwards until it stood on its toes. She then extended one arm out in front of her and the other behind. Will let out a groan as the pressure on top of him increased a bit. There was nothing he could realistically do to alleviate the pressure, so he figured he'd try to make the best of it. He stuck out his tongue and began licking her sole. He tasted a faint saltiness on her foot because it was sweating as well, but it wasn't all that bad. His penis was twitching again and he seriously doubted he would make it to the end of this yoga session.

Maize switched her pose next so her right foot was in the back. Will's world was suddenly turned upside down as he found himself looking up at the floor. The athletic tape made sure he wasn't in any danger of falling, but his arms were touching the floor and his legs were dangling freely. All the blood was rushing to a different head. He reached out as far as he could to either side and gripped onto her foot as if hugging it. He began to slowly buck his hips, thrusting his member into the sole.

" Careful down there, little guy. I'm almost done. " Maize warned him.

Her words didn't even register. He had given in to his urges and there was no going back now. Everything shifted again as her foot rose into the air. Will was nearly oblivious to this as he was busy humping the foot. Maize bent down, placing both of her hands on the mat and raising her right leg as far as she could.

From his new high position, he could see most of her living room. It was an incredible sight to behold, especially with the early morning sunlight streaming in through the windows. All of those household objects stretching out before him like a vast landscape. As he admired the view, he continued thrusting against her sole until finally exploding.

" Well you lasted longer than I thought you would. " Maize said returning to a sitting position.

She carefully put her foot back on her knee and undid the tape holding him in place. The tissue was used to clean up the mess he made.

" You don't know how badly I needed that. " Will said, hopping onto her knee.

" Oh, I think I do. Too bad. No reward for you. " she replied, watching him with an amused look on her face.

" That was reward enough. I should probably get going so I can do all my stuff before tonight. " 

He started to move to jump off of her knee to the floor when Maize cried out.

" Wait! "

He was already jumping by the time he heard her. What he had failed to notice was that the floor wasn't a short drop away anymore. He was falling through open air! Somehow the floor was a few feet away which seemed much larger at his small size.

" Ahhhh! " he yelled in panic.

Maize's hand suddenly shot out underneath him and he landed in it's palm with a soft smack. Will's heart was racing a mile a minute. He thought he might have a heart attack. This is not how he expected his day to start off half an hour ago.

" Gotcha! " she exclaimed, relieved.

He slowly crawled and looked over the side of her hand. It appeared Maize had not been on the floor, but was instead floating maybe three feet above it still in a cross-legged sitting position.

" C-Can you fly? " he stammered, trying to collect himself.

" Not really. I can only levitate a few feet off the ground by myself. There are some witches who can fly though. "

" Oh my god. That scared the crap out of me. " 

" Sorry, I should've said something. I usually end my stretches by meditating while doing this. Didn't think you were just going to jump right off. "

She slowly descended to the floor and laid her hand down so he could get off. With a wave of her hand, Will was returned to normal height. He quickly began to get dressed.

" You're getting better at that. "

" Lots of practice lately. Pretty soon I'll be able to do it just by thinking. " Maize said, levitating back where she was.

" Alright. When should I come pick you up tonight? " he asked, pulling his shirt over his head.

" Ten thirty. We'll decide where we're gonna go then. "

He finished putting on the last of his clothes.

" Sure. Guess I'll see ya later. " he replied, not sounding very excited.

" Relax. Everything will be fine. Don't forget to wear something nice! " she called as he opened the front door.

He shot her a half hearted smile while closing the door. Once alone in the hallway, he let out a long sigh. He wasn't sure if he really liked Maize's plan. He had never told another person about his fetish and now she wanted him to tell a complete stranger. Will rubbed his face with his left hand and felt the bracelet Maize gave him. He practically forgot it was there. After inspecting the bracelet more closely, it looked like she put some real time and effort into making it.

" I need to trust Maize. She'll be there in case it goes bad. " he thought.

Stressing himself out over it was pointless. He would cross that bridge when he came to it. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he went off to get his weekend chores done.

Behind The Mask: Chapter 10 

Will pulled up in front of Maize’s apartment building and parked the car by the curb. It was just shy of 10:30 PM and he had already messaged her that he would be there shortly. After getting all of his chores done, he hurried home and got ready for the night. He was dressed in a freshly ironed light gray button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, jeans, and his nicest pair of sneakers. He also had on the bracelet Maize gave him earlier that day and his hair was neatly combed. 

Despite Will’s best efforts, nerves were beginning to get the best of him. In a short amount of time he would remove the mask, revealing his deepest secret to a total stranger. He kind of felt like he was going to be sick. Even with Maize there to support him, they had no way of knowing how the stranger would react for sure. What if they flipped out and started calling him things like creep or freak? What if they reacted the same way he feared Rebecca would when he told her? 

Will took in a deep breath, held it for a few seconds, and slowly let it out. The whole point of this exercise was to see if he had the courage to tell someone his secret. That’s what he really needed to worry about. Now he just had to hope he didn’t chicken out in the moment. Movement by the buildings entrance suddenly drew his attention. 

It was Maize sauntering over to his car. She was wearing a lacey black dress that allowed you to see the upper portion of her chest, a short black jacket over that, and black block heel sandals on her feet. Her hair was still up in a ponytail just like in the morning with the bangs framing her smiling face. She also had one of those black velvet chokers around her neck. Her makeup was done tastefully. She looked absolutely stunning! Maize opened the front passenger side door and got in. 

“ Hello. You clean up well, don’t you? “ she said, sitting beside him. 

“ Thanks. You look amazing too. “ Will replied, still staring at her. 

“ Uh... Will? Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face? “ Maize asked, looking in the rear view mirror. 

“ What? No! Sorry, you just look really nice is all. “ he said, looking away. 

“ Thank you! I can get dressed up when I want to. “ 

She put a hand behind her head, the other on her hip, and puckered her lips as if striking a pose. Will laughed at her expression while starting up the car. 

“ Alright, miss model. Where are we heading? “ 

“ How about Club Facade over on Fifth? “ 

“ That’s... oddly appropriate “ he responded, raising an eyebrow at the clubs name. 

“ That’s why I chose it. Do you remember the plan? “ 

“ Yes. When we get to the club, I’m going to find a girl and try to get her to come home with me. Once we’re there, I’ll attempt to tell her my secret. Not sure what’s supposed to happen after that. “ 

He pulled the car away from the curb and onto the street. 

“ You’re mostly right. I am going to help you find the right girl. You WILL tell her about your fetish because you are confident. Assuming everything goes to plan, you two might do more than just talk. “ 

“ If it goes to plan... “ Will mumbled. 

“ Don’t get nervous now, Will. You got this! And I’ll be there in case it does go wrong. “ she said, putting a hand on his shoulder encouragingly. 

“ Okay. Let’s get this over with. “ Knowing Maize would be there did comfort him somewhat, but the feeling of dread remained in the pit of his stomach. The two of them made small talk for the rest of the drive...

Thirty minutes later, Will and Maize were seated in a booth across from each other at the club. Electronic dance music pulsed around them and lights flashed in the darkened space that was Club Facade. The club was located in a relatively large building on Fifth Street. After going through a cramped entranceway where multiple people lingered either coming or going, you walked into the club itself. An immense room with four wide pillars situated around the center. The walls of the room and pillars were painted a dark, blue color. 

The booths were placed against three of the rooms four walls along with some tables that were set out across the floor space. The bar was to the right of the room with stools occupied by club-goers of varying drunkenness. There was an alcove in the wall across from the entrance and a stage had been built into it. A DJ wearing headphones stood on the stage playing music and messing with his mixer. 

Lastly, the dance floor was at the center of the room. A huge LED dance floor to be specific, complete with panels that could light up different colors and patterns. A mass of people danced and gyrated their bodies along to the music. Above the dance floor was the light system, which shined all over the room and flashed in seemingly random patterns. 

Will had never been much of a club going type of person. He rarely even went to parties in high school and college. Large crowds of people made him uneasy. That fact on top the nervousness he already had made him not feel so hot. Will chugged down the rest of his whiskey cocktail and slammed the glass on the table. 

“ Whoa, take it easy. That’s your second drink already. “ Maize cautioned him, turning back from watching the dancing people. 

“ I just needed a bit of liquid courage to calm my nerves. “ 

“ Sure, but don’t get too wasted. You need to be able to talk to a girl without slurring your words or puking. “ 

“ I’ll be fine. “ 

They lapsed into relative silence for a few minutes again, she continued looking out at the dancers while he idly scrolled through his phone. 

“ Alright. I’m not getting anything from here. Let’s get on the dance floor. “ 

“ Huh? What do you mean you’re ‘not getting anything’? “ he asked. 

“ I’ve been trying to read girls minds, but it’s difficult with all the people in here. Haven’t found the right girl for our plan either. I figure it might be a bit easier to hear thoughts if I’m closer. Plus we can dance! “ Maize said excitedly, getting up from the booth. 

“ I don’t know, Maize. I’m not much of a dancer and- Hey! “ 

Will was cut off mid-sentence when Maize grabbed his hand and pulled him out of his seat. 

“ Just come on, nervous Nellie. “ she called over her shoulder, leading him onto the dance floor. 

They weaved their way through the crowd before stopping somewhere in the middle. The music was even louder at their new position. 

“ How exactly is this supposed to help? I can’t even hear myself think. “ he yelled to be heard over the music. 

“ You let me worry about that. Give me the bracelet. We won’t be able to communicate privately while you’re wearing it. “ 

Will removed the bracelet and handed it to her, which she promptly tucked away inside her jacket. 

“ Now, let’s dance. Don’t wanna be the only two weirdos standing around talking. “ Maize shouted, starting to sway her hips from side to side. 

“ I tried to tell you earlier. I’m a terrible dancer. “ he replied, looking around sheepishly. 

“ Dancing isn’t about how good you are at it. It’s about having fun. Just need to let loose. “ 

She grabbed him by the wrists and moved his arms around to the music. He couldn’t help but laugh as she made weird faces in an attempt to get him to smile. He started to shuffle his feet and bob his head as a mediocre dance. Maize continued to hold onto his arms, dragging him along with her while she danced. The longer the two of them danced together, the less self-conscious Will became. His focus switched to having fun with Maize. 

Both of them let themselves get lost in the music. Maize put her hands up in the air and shook her hips while spinning in circles. More than a few guys stole some glances at her, but he couldn’t really blame them. She was mesmerizing to watch. After dancing for a bit, Maize offered her hand to Will like you would to a traditional dance partner. 

Thinking he knew what she had in mind, he took her hand and raised it above her head so he could twirl her. He managed to spin her around two times, but as she was turning to him on the third twirl she tripped for whatever reason and they collided with each other. She put her hands on his chest to keep herself from slamming into him and he placed his hands on her shoulders in order to steady her. Their faces were inches apart, both of them staring into the others eyes. They stayed that way for a few moments, neither of them moving. The loud club surrounding the pair did not exist for that time. 

Maize’s head suddenly snapped to the right, looking out at the crowded people. She removed her hands from his chest and stepped back. Will blinked his eyes and looked around like he had broken free of some trance. In those moments he was staring into Maize’s eyes, a feeling had swelled up inside of him and he couldn’t quite put a finger on what it was. 

“ Will, I think we got a live one. “ Maize’s voice spoke in his mind. 

“ Really? Where? “ he thought, looking in the same direction. 

“ Right over there. Asian. Dark, brown hair. Blue top. Kinda short. Don’t just stare at her though. “ 

Will followed her line of sight and saw the girl she was talking about among the crowd. The girl appeared to be dancing by herself at the moment, whipping her head and long hair around wildly with her eyes closed. She was wearing a light, blue shirt with short sleeves around her upper arm that left her shoulders exposed and showed off her cleavage. Other than that, she had on a dark colored mini skirt and black Vans style shoes from what he could tell. The girl couldn’t be more than a couple inches taller than Kelsey. 

“ That’s the girl, huh? You’re sure? “ Will said in his mind, beginning to feel nervous again. 

“ Positive. That girl came here to party and maybe hook up with a guy. She’s already had a few drinks too. It’s perfect. “ she replied confidently. 

“ A-Alright. I guess it’s now or never. “ 

He did a quick self check, straightening his shirt and running a hand over his hair. 

“ You got this, Will. Just go be your charming self. I’ll be nearby and listening to your thoughts. If all goes to plan and you two leave together, I’ll follow behind to wherever you go. “ Maize explained, putting her hand on his back as a supportive gesture. 

Will gave her a weak smile and a nod in response. Returning the smile, she gave a small shove forward and he was on his own. He slowly weaved his way through the crowd, resisting the urge to turn and walk off the dance floor. Maize believed in him and he didn’t want to ruin the plan she went through the trouble to put together. Eventually, he made it over to the girl Maize pointed out. She was still dancing with eyes closed when he walked up, so she didn’t notice him. 

“ H-Hey! “ Will shouted a bit to be heard due to the music. 

The girl’s eyes flew open and she stumbled back a couple steps when he spoke. 

“ Oh, um, hi? “ she said, looking at him confused. 

“ Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I’m Will. “ he said, putting his hand on his chest. 

“ Candice. “ she replied, giving him a slight grin. 

“ Nice to meet you. I happened to look over here and saw that you were dancing alone too. I figured I’d come ask if you wanted to dance with me? “ Will asked, trying his best not to sound nervous. 

Candice paused for a few moments, probably debating what she wanted to do. 

“ Yeah, sure. “ she finally answered, nodding with a smile. 

“ Awesome. “ 

The pair started to move with the music. She went back to swaying her head while shaking her butt. He continued doing his awkward shuffle dance. 

“ Good job. Looks like you’re in. “ Maize’s voice suddenly said in his thoughts. 

Will did a quick scan through the nearby crowd, but he couldn’t see the kind witch wherever she was. 

“ Thanks. Now let’s see if I can bring it home. “ he thought back. 

The two of them danced silently for quite some time. While dancing, Will took a closer look at Candice. She had almond-shaped, dark brown eyes and a spattering of small freckles on her cheeks. He also couldn’t help but notice that she had considerably large breasts. Judging by the shirt she chose to wear, she wasn’t trying to hide it either. 

At some point, Candice moved in very close to Will. She was practically grinding against him! She gazed up at him with a sultry look on her face. 

“ You’re a... pretty good dancer. “ he said, unsure of what to do. 

“ You’re not bad yourself. “ 

With that, she grabbed a handful of his shirt then pulled him down just far enough for her to lean up and begin kissing him. Will was startled at first by her sudden actions, but after it passed he kissed her back. As far as kisses went, Candice gave a damn good one. She stopped kissing him within a minute and let go of his shirt without moving away. 

“ What do you think about us getting out of here, Will? “ she asked, biting her lip. 

His eyes widened in surprise. Everything was going exactly according to plan! 

“ Sure, sure. Where would you wanna go? “ he answered, realizing he hadn’t responded yet. 

“ Let’s go to your place, if that’s alright? “ 

“ Okay. Come on, I’ll take you to my car. “ Will said, taking her hand and making his way off the dance floor. 

While he walked, Candice put his arm over her shoulders and clung to his side. The first part of the plan had gone off without a hitch, but the hard part was yet to come. He still needed to remove his mask in front of a person he hardly even knew. Just the thought of it made him swallow nervously. He glanced behind him at the dancing crowd, assuming Maize was still somewhere among them. 

“ See you back at my place... “ Will thought, trying not to let his nerves get the better of him. 

.:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:. .:.

It was nearly midnight by the time Will and Candice arrived at his apartment. Luckily, he had cleaned up the place earlier in the day. 

“ Well uh... welcome, I guess. “ he said, flicking on the lights. 

He felt a little bit groggy after the drinks and all the dancing he did. Candice walked into the middle of the room and looked around. 

“ It’s... nice. “ she commented, trying to sound genuine. 

“ It’s not much, but since I live alone it works for me. “ he laughed, scratching the back of his head. 

“ Oooo, so we don’t need to worry about being interrupted. “ 

She went over to him and began pulling him towards the bed by his shirt using both hands. 

“ Whoa, hold on. Do you wanna freshen up first? Maybe I could get you something to drink? “ Will asked, thinking of anything to buy time. 

Maize needed to be there for the plan and he had no idea if she was. Plus, he was still building up his courage. 

“ Relax. I’m here. “ Maize’s voice reassured him telepathically. 

Will’s eyes darted around the room, trying to locate her. Could Maize have made herself invisible? Maybe she was hiding in the bathroom? 

“ I’m fine. Come on. This is what you wanted, right? “ Candice interrupted his train of thought. 

He nodded his head in response, not knowing what to say. She led him over to the bed and sat down on the edge. Leaning down, she untied both of her shoes before taking them off. Will was slightly disappointed to see she had black ankle socks on. In one swift motion she pulled her shirt off over her head. The only thing covering her sizable breasts now was a black strapless bra. He couldn’t deny that Candice was incredibly hot. 

He realized that she was watching him with an expectant look on her face, waiting for something. Taking the hint, Will quickly kicked off his shoes and removed his shirt. Candice didn’t even wait for him to fully sit down before starting to kiss. This girl did not want to waste any time! He brushed her hair back with his hands and then gently placed them along her neck while kissing her as well. One of her hands caressed his chest and the other was on his neck. 

After a few moments, Candice began to lean back so she could lay on the bed. He followed her by crawling on his knees, and continued to make out, until they were at the head of the bed. She was laid out with her head on a pillow and he was propped up on his side next to her. The two of them remained kissing the whole time. At some point, Candice’s tongue had crept into Will’s mouth. It didn’t bother him though, so he did the same. 

He put his hand on her warm, bare thigh and rubbed it softly. Her kisses slowly made their way down to his neck. His eyes had been closed most of the time they were making out, but he opened them when she started sucking on his neck. The sight before him caused his eyes to widen in surprise and gave him a small jolt. Standing on top of the short nightstand next to his bed and halfway behind a lamp was a miniature Maize! 

She wasn’t wearing her jacket anymore and her shoes were missing, but it was definitely her. Maize waved at him with an excited grin on her face. 

“ Maize?! You shrunk yourself? “ he thought intensely. 

“ Hi. Didn’t mean to scare you. I needed to hide and this was the first thing that came to mind. “ she replied telepathically. 

“ What if she sees you? “ 

“ Don’t worry. I can levitate off this. It’s a lot easier at this size and- Eep! “ 

Maize’s voice cut off and she ducked behind the lamp. 

“ Is something wrong? “ Candice suddenly said, pulling away from him. 

“ No, nothing’s wrong. “ he answered, returning his attention to her. 

“ Then why’d you stop? “ she asked, sounding annoyed. 

“ Go on, Will! This is the time! “ Maize’s voice shouted in his mind. 

Will felt his stomach drop. Maize was right. If there was a time to tell Candice his secret, it would be now. Before they went any further, the mask needed to come off. He just had to muster up all his bravery. 

“ Uh... There’s something I should tell you. “ Will said quietly. 

“ Oh, no. You don’t have an STD or something, do you? “ 

“ What? No! That’s not it. “ he replied, sitting upright. 

“ Then what? “ Candice asked, sitting up too. 

Will could feel himself beginning to sweat nervously. His stomach felt like it was doing flips. Maybe he wasn’t as ready to do this as he thought he was. He could call the whole plan off. Candice would probably be confused and a bit upset when he asked her to go home, but perhaps it was for the best. Maize and him could come up with a different plan and take baby steps this time. Build up his confidence bit by bit until he was truly ready. Yes, that’s what he should do... 

No! Will needed to do this. There was no way he was going back to living his life hiding behind a mask. He refused to continue being that scared, nervous person. Maize had already helped him so much, he couldn’t just keeping relying on her for everything. If he couldn’t do this, then he would never be able to tell Rebecca the truth. It was now or never. 

“ Maybe I should go. This doesn’t- “ 

“ I have a foot fetish! “ Will blurted out, cutting Candice off. 

His breath caught in his throat and his eyes widened in shock as soon as the words left his mouth. He said it. He had actually said it. For the first time in his life, he had confessed his secret to someone. Oh God, he felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest. He must have looked like a deer in the headlights to Candice in that moment. She hadn’t moved or said anything in the few moments since he ripped his mask off in front of her. A slight expression of surprise was frozen on her face. 

“ Oh... Okay. “ she finally said, seeming to relax. 

“ I felt like I needed to tell you. That doesn’t... bother you, does it? “ Will asked, still unsure how she had taken it. 

“ No, not really. I’ve just never been with a guy who has one before. “ Candice answered, as if she was carefully choosing her words. 

He breathed a mental sigh of relief. At least she wasn’t immediately repulsed by his confession. 

“ To be honest, I’ve never told anyone about it before... “ he said, wringing his hands. 

“ Alright, well, what do you wanna do? “ she asked. 

“ I could give you a foot massage to start. I’m good at it. “ 

“ Go ahead. Show me what you can do. “ 

Will scooted to the end of his bed and turned to face Candice with his legs crossed. He grabbed her right foot by the heel and with his other hand slid her black sock off. Candice’s foot was on the smaller side as he expected, but wide and with surprisingly long toes. Her toenails were unpainted. The skin of her foot was warm to the touch from being trapped in a shoe while dancing for so long. He repeated the process with her other foot and placed them in his lap. Her feet were admittedly quite nice. 

Wrapping his hands around her right foot, Will pressed his thumbs into the middle of her sole and rubbed small circles into it. 

“ Oh, wooow. That’s nice. “ Candice sighed, relaxing into a comfortable position. 

Encouraged by her words, he moved a hand to her left foot and massaged the base of her toes. Her toes flexed happily in response. He continued to rub her feet for a few minutes, working his fingers into every part of them. Candice’s left foot suddenly wiggled free of his grasp and stretched forward until it was planted on the crotch of his jeans. Once it was there, she poked around until finding his stiff member and then started scrunching her toes on it. 

Will had been trying to hold himself back a bit up to this point, hoping not to scare Candice off, but this feeling pushed him over the edge. He lifted her right foot up to his mouth and began planting kisses along her sole. 

“ Here comes the fun part! “ Maize’s voice shouted excitedly in his mind. 

Freezing mid-kiss, his eyes darted over to the lamp where he could see the tiny Maize peeking out at them. She pointed one hand at him and the other at Candice. He could only imagine what the diminutive witch was doing. Deciding to just go with whatever Maize had in mind, he moved on to licking Candice’s foot. There was a salty taste to it because she had been sweating, but it didn’t bother him very much. He even kind of enjoyed it. 

It didn’t take too long for whatever magic Maize had used to become apparent. Candice’s dainty foot was getting larger in his hand by the second. His view of the drunken girl was steadily lowering as well. Maize had definitely cast a shrinking spell on him, but that wasn’t all. Candice seemed to be growing more... excited quickly. 

“ Fuck, that feels sooo good. “ she moaned, biting her lip again. 

He figured Maize was influencing her, much like the first night they had met. Soon enough, Candice’s foot became too big to hold and he had to let it fall to the mattress. In a matter of moments, he was shrunken to the point that the foot on his crotch was engulfing his whole body. This fact didn’t bother him any, so he kept worshipping the huge foot. He wrapped one leg around the ped as he hungrily stroked his tongue along the pad of her big toe. 

Candice was so absorbed in her arousal that she didn’t seem to notice that he was the size of an action figure now. As she continued to moan in pleasure, one of her hands crept down to the waistband of her skirt and dug itself underneath it. She was fingering herself! Seeing her do that somehow turned Will on even more, driving him into a frenzy. Will let go of her foot, quickly wrestled his jeans and boxers off, then went right back to it. 

The foot had fallen onto it’s side and by laying next to it he guessed he was just slightly smaller than it. The shrinking also must have stopped at some point. He pressed his body against the sole of her left foot, his cock prodded into her skin. Candice continued to pleasure herself, working her fingers faster and moaning louder. The pace only quickened until she finally climaxed. 

“ Oh my God! “ she yelled as it happened. 

When she removed her hand from her skirt, her fingers were visibly wet with feminine juices. Will began to work harder, burying his face in the skin below her toes and humping her foot. He wanted his own climax. 

“ C’mere. It’s your turn. “ Candice said, reaching down to grab him with her non-wet hand. 

She grabbed him around the backside and cupped her hand to form a sort of seat. He was brought up to her smiling face. She was still breathing heavily and her pupils were dilated. Without a word, Candice opened her mouth and inserted his erect member. Will let out a moan and leaned back in her hand, his small legs hung off her hand. 

She worked her giant, hot tongue along the shaft of his penis. Tingles shot up his spine and his toes clenched. She wrapped her tongue all around his member and moved it up and down. He had already been near bursting before this sudden blow job and it could not be helped any longer. Will exploded inside of Candice’s mouth. 

“ Fuck yes! “ he yelled out. 

His eyes rolled back in his head as he shot load after load into her maw. When he was done, he slumped into her hand. His head lolled back while he panted heavily. Candice swallowed the remnants of his climax and fell back on his bed. The hand he was in came down on her chest right between her breasts. He was too tired to move after their encounter, so he figured he would stay nestled underneath her hand. Candice appeared to have already fallen asleep from the best he could tell. With his ear on her massive chest, he could hear the soft rumbling of her snoring. 

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Will was ecstatic that Maize’s plan had succeeded. He had gotten over a big hurdle that kept him hiding under a mask for most of his life. He definitely felt more confident in himself. Maybe now he could muster up enough courage to tell Becca his true feelings. There were still many unknowns about the next part of the plan though. A yawn suddenly escaped from Will’s lips. He was fighting a losing battle against sleep, struggling to keep his eyes open. 

“ Sleep tight, Will. We’ll talk in the morning. “ Maize’s voice whispered in his mind. 

“ Good... night... “ he thought, slowly drifting asleep. 

And sleep tight he did...
