The answer to your question is TCL forces, where you can apply varying
forces that you could update at each step.

That tutorial might be useful for a start. Please note that this is a
constant velocity pulling at z-direction only. You might wanna modify your
force vector as you wish (using coordinates of the two particular atoms you
were mentioning).
Hope that'll help...
