It wasn’t possible. That was all Lauren could think of as the rag pressed itself to her mouth and she felt the acrid vapor enter her lungs, making her mind instantly fuzzy and her muscles immediately slack with drugged exhaustion. Chloroform didn’t work like it did in the movies, it wasn’t some magic sleeping potion that could take effect in seconds. She–she shouldn’t already have trouble keeping her heavy eyelids open, just from a few moments of inhaling the soporific gas. Her eyes shouldn’t be rolling back in her head as though the fine and delicate movements of controlling them had become too difficult under the drug’s influence. That was impossible.
It would take five minutes, maybe even longer, to pass out from chloroform inhalation. She should be able to struggle, to fight off this dreamy lethargy that gripped her kitten-weak muscles, and push the rag away from her face long before her mind collapsed into an oblivious void of drugged unconsciousness. The recorded cases of chloroform’s use as a drug to incapacitate a victim always involved another agent administered to make them too weak and helpless to resist, and Lauren had been wide awake when the cloth was pressed to her face and she began to cough and splutter under its influence. She… she should be able to fight this. Why wasn’t she fighting this? Why was she sinking down, deeper and deeper into relaxation, her eyes now less than half-open as her body went limp?
Even if it was real, even if it could work this fast, it shouldn’t really knock her out like it always did in stories. Her assailant would have to continue administering a steady volume of the volatile chemical compound to keep her body from metabolizing it, and watch her closely to make sure nothing obstructed her airway while she was unconscious. And yet, somehow Lauren felt an inexplicable conviction that she’d wind up out like a light while her body was a–a plaything–for anyone who wanted to use it. She wouldn’t be able to struggle. She wouldn’t even know it was happening. She was about to sink into an insensate abyss, and there wasn’t any chance of escaping it.
That should have terrified her. Hell, just the use of chloroform should have terrified her–Lauren knew the drug caused cardiac fibrillation as a known side effect, she had every reason right now to suspect that her heart might randomly stop and never restart. And yet she felt… relaxed. Not just chemically-induced relaxation, but a warm, comforting drowsiness that communicated itself straight down into her slick and soaking cunt. Lauren’s eyes were mere slits now, she knew that at any second someone might spread her legs and fuck her semi-conscious body while she lay in a drugged stupor, and yet all that did was make her pussy wet. It shouldn’t have made sense, any more than the unnatural effectiveness of the chemical wafting into her lungs, and yet–
And then, the same way she always did in her last few seconds of consciousness, Lauren puzzled it out. The chemical in the rag was a harmless scent compound–it didn’t even smell like the real chloroform. Her hypnotized mind associated it, as always, with unconsciousness, and she was sinking into a deep trance so that she could live out her fantasies of being a drugged party favor at someone’s decadent get-together. And the hand that held the cloth to her face was her own. Reassured, Lauren slipped away into oblivion and let herself go limp.
