  13: 
Scent
'The Menace of Musk Master!' 
 
 
“Wasn’t I supposed to be doing something?” Gold Guardian asked, looking up from 
the boot he’d been licking clean. 
 
The owner of the boot and the foot inside it, a large chubby rat in tight dark 
blue spandex, looked down at him, smiling warmly. “And what makes you say that?” 
Musk Master said. 
 
The kneeling tiger superhero paused a moment, his fuzzy mind trying to find the 
right words to describe the feeling. 
 
“I don’t know, Sir.” The muscular hero in figure-hugging gold and white spandex 
eventually said. “It’s just a nagging sensation that I shouldn’t be worshipping 
your boots, but doing something more important and… when did he get here?” 
 
Gold Guardian had suddenly realized there was someone else there with them. 
Someone he recognized.  
 
It was Laser Lion, a fellow superhero he had worked with on several occasions. 
The big stocky feline, in his easily recognizable yellow and red costume, seemed 
to be in a daze, kneeling at the rat’s side and leaning against him, head on his 
leg, taking deep breaths.  
 
“Oh, he hasn’t been here too long.” Musk Master explained. “He turned up here to 
try and rescue you. But I quickly got him to relax.” The rat villain laughed. 
“It’s cute that you were so wrapped up in obeying me and worshipping my boots, 
you didn’t even notice him until now.” 
 
“Rescue…” Gold Guardian mumbled. Hearing that word set off a cascade of jumbled 
and confusing thoughts tumbling through his head. 
 
“It won’t be much longer before he’s completely under my control, just like 
you.” Musk Master was saying, patting the glassy-eyed lion on the head. 
 
“Under control…” The tiger hero repeated the words, sure that they should mean 
something to him. 
 
He was under control? Was that why Laser Lion thought he was in need of rescue? 
But he was here with Musk Master, in his rightful place, serving and obeying the 
supervillain… 
 
Supervillain. Musk Master was a supervillain. And he was Gold Guardian, one of 
the world’s greatest superheroes. Surely, he should be opposed to the rat, not 
serving him? It made sense, but some part of him still wasn’t sure, and wanted 
to just let go of all free thought and get back to serving his dear Master. 
 
But the nagging thought that he was supposed to be doing something, something 
important, just wouldn’t let go. Did it have something to do with the whole 
thing of him being a hero? 
 
“Am I…” Gold Guardian said, uncertainly. “Am I supposed to be stopping you?” He 
was frowning with concentration, forming that thought in his jumbled mind had 
taken a lot of effort. 
 
Musk Master glared at him. “Oh dear.” The rat said with a sigh. “I guess someone 
isn’t quite as subdued as I thought. You’re still fighting my control, or at 
least, some part of you.” 
 
Fighting him? Fight his Master? That seemed wrong, but some deep part of him was 
definitely saying it was right, and he needed to resist… 
 
“Well, it’s easy to fix.” Musk Master said. He took the tiger’s chin in one paw 
and raised his head up so that they were looking each other in the eye. “Just 
trust me for a moment and take a few deep breaths.” 
 
The tiger hero supposed he could do that. What would be the harm?  
 
He breathed in deep, noticing a strange sweet smell in the air, something oddly 
familiar. He took another breath. And then another. Each time, he felt more 
relaxed, all his worries and concerns seeming to melt away. Quickly followed by 
all his other thoughts, his mind becoming emptier and emptier with each 
inhalation of that delightful odour. 
 
“There, that’s better.” Said Musk Master, when he noticed the vacant, 
glassy-eyed expression spread across Gold Guardian’s face. “Enjoy the smell. You 
may or may not remember it from when you first got here, intent on bringing me 
in. A few breaths of it was enough to relax you. A few breaths more and you were 
under my control.” 
 
The rat villain let out a laugh. “What a foolish superhero you were, Gold 
Guardian. And you, Laser Lion. Rushing in here with no idea what I might be 
capable of. No idea that my body produces a hypnotic, mind controlling scent 
that gradually brainwashes all those who breathe it in.” 
 
He patted the tiger on the head, and then stroked Laser Lion’s mane. “So, just 
keep breathing deep, my pet superheroes. Let my wonderful musk thoroughly wash 
those tiny pathetic brains of yours, melt away all your free will, and make you 
permanently my super-slaves.” 
 
Both heroes mumbled a slurred ‘Yes…” 
 
“Excellent!” Musk Master chuckled. “And while that’s happening, the two of you 
can get to worshipping my boots. They still need cleaning. Get to work, being 
sure to carry on with the deep breaths.” 
 
“Yes, Master…” The two enthralled superheroes said in unison, both moving to 
obey, taking a boot each to lick.  
 
The rat supervillain watched them, grinning happily. This had been a good day. 
Two superheroes in his power to do with as he pleased. 
 
And the days ahead would be even better. These two would be able to introduce 
him to so many other heroes. And they would all be breathing in his scent before 
they started realizing anything was wrong. 
 
The crotch of his outfit started to tent as his cock grew hard at the thought of 
all the annoying do-gooders that would soon be bowing down and serving him. 
 
But that was the future. Today, he had to decide which of his new slaves was 
going to take care of his erection by sucking him off, and which would be 
roughly fucking the other as he was sucked off. 
 
Whatever he decided, Musk Master was certain that a good day was about to get 
even better…
