Archive-name: Bondage/bonus.txt Archive-author: Snidley Archive-title: Small Bonus, A I had been retained through a consulting firm to advise a small, but very lucrative, corporation through a complicated problem. The complications could have cost this business well into the multi-million dollar range had I not sucseeded in the endeavor. After some long hours of hard work I was ultimately able to accomplish our goal. The owner of this little company, (I'll use fictitious names in this narrative for modesty's sake as well as clarity) Joan Sumpter, was certainly a unique individual. She and I spent a great deal of time together over the months of my employment. Working virtually hand in hand, we had gotten to know each other rather well. For all intents and purposes She appeared to be a brash, impetus woman to most people. However, as she and I got to know each other over time, most of this turned out to be a facade. In her business persona, she may have seemed like a bit like a shark to some, but outside that arena I found her to be a charming, intelligent woman. Due to the pressure that was on both of us, there were many times our work sessions would digress into a montage of repartee that often could become downright obscene. Kinky talk, innuendo, double-entendre and scurrilous jokes all seemed to help break the tension of our labor. At first, I figured that she was just coming on to me a bit, merely some innocent flirtation, because at other times she spoke in glowing terms about her artist husband of 10 years. A little confusing for me, but I finally decided that, although there were times she could be overbearing to the point of being obnoxious, she was a pretty special woman who was already involved in a loving relationship and really had a lot going for her. I really came to like her. Shortly after our deadline was met, She invited me to come to her home for dinner to celebrate. I took this as a tremendous compliment because in my dealing with a great many of her associates, I had never met any who had been invited to her home. It was a bit of a mystery to all her colleagues, many wondered just what her lifestyle was like outside work. Or indeed if she even HAD a lifestyle outside of her business. At the time, I had assumed that her crack about "Leave your inhibitions at home..." was simply one of her frivolous remarks. When I responded that I didn't have any inhibitions, she merely smirked over her shoulder at me. "We'll see..." she said. It turned out to be quite a test... I used the big brass door knockers on the impressive oak front doors. After a short pause there was a rustling sound from the other side, someone fumbling with the knob no doubt. As the door mysteriously pulled back away from me, a grand foyer was slowly revealed. Surprised that there was no one to greet me, I was a little unsure of what etiquette dictated under these circumstances. Deciding that the door had indeed opened for a reason, I hesitantly stepped inside the stately home. I detected a light "clinking" sound as the door began to close behind me as soon as I had cleared it's path. I hopped back, out of the way. I couldn't help but think that something was not right here! It took just a moment before I discovered the cause for my uneasiness. A burning wave of adrenalin rolled down my spine as it became apparent what was powering the mysterious door. I tried to take it all in, to be as observant as my vocation demanded, but my cognition was disjointed and slow in coming. A girl. She was small, about 5'4", not much more then 100 pounds. In her early twenties I surmised. She pushed at the door awkwardly with her back and bottom, walking backwards. Her hands seemingly held the door latch which appeared to be pressing into the small of her back. She didn't even look up at me as she concentrated on carefully shutting the door. My mind continued to reel as more observations became apparent. She was blonde, her hair pulled back into a concealed French braid. I decided she was dressed somewhat distinctively. She wore a slim beige skirt that just brushed the top of her knees. A dark green wool sweater with a V-neck snugly hugged her distinctly feminine features. The outfit seemed to have a uniform-ish quality to it because a white shirt and a bright red, man's style necktie peeked out from under the sweater. Some of the smaller details emerged in the seconds that it took for her to close the door. Her white shirt had the those little tabs on the collar, buttoned tightly under her tie knot. These tabs caused her tie to stand out a bit more prominently and made the collar form fit snugly around her supple neck. A small brass name plate was pinned to her sweater, on her left breast. I couldn't read it at that moment. The door thumped closed. My mind had tried to deny the obvious, I was sure that it was playing tricks on me, as it surly had from the second the door had opened. It couldn't be, but as this strange girl looked up into my face and our eyes met for the first time, there could be no question, no mistake. Her big blue eyes gleamed up at me, over the tape. White tape, lots of white tape covered her mouth. She was gagged. Her hands remained behind her back as she stepped towards me. A thin chain rustled between her dainty ankles as she approached with an unmistakable high heeled grace. Suddenly fear took over my senses. Who could have done this to this poor girl? Were there criminals in the house who had cruelly bound and gagged this poor waif? Were they, even now, planning unspeakable things to do to her? I looked back into her eyes. Why didn't she appear frightened? She seemed a bit surprised to see me, but her eyes sparkled with such expression... There was such a unmistakable aura of friendliness, of welcome, that I was inexplicably at ease once again. My eyes were drawn back downward to her mouth. Or rather, the tape covering her mouth. It was made up of four or five pieces of white adhesive tape that crisscrossed and covered her entire lower face, from just under her nose to the tip of her chin. Her chin seemed unnaturally long before I realized that under the tape her mouth was stretched wide open. Two wide, black leather straps passed around to the back of her head giving a clue as to the reason for her open mouth. They exited from underneath the tape where it ended just to the front of her ears. Feeling stupid for not noticing it before, I realized that there was writing on the tape. Upon examining it more closely, I discerned it was written in flowing, feminine script. It said simply: "Welcome to the Sumpter home. May I take your coat?" The writing on the tape reminded me of the of the nameplate on this mysterious girl's chest, perhaps that could give me a clue. I glanced down at it. Etched cleanly in the brass in large block letters was: "Yvette" and under the name, in smaller scroll print: "Slave" I suppose that it was natural, but my eyes wandered from the name plate to the sweet line of the breast that it was pined to. These beautiful breasts stirred ever so slightly on each breath she took, rising and falling, stretching and pulling the supple wool embrace of her sweater. I felt my face flush when I realized that my eyes had lingered a moment too long on one of her more personal attributes. When I glanced up into those mysterious eyes once again, I was amazed because her expression indicated a coy pleasure in my admiration, rather then the almost universal look of disdain that I was accustom to. She looked at me steadily for a long moment and then leaned forward, pushing her chin slightly out to me. My first thought was that she wanted to kiss me, (Silly me... :^) but her eyes turned casually up and away, she was attempting to make the writing on her lips more evident. It seemed almost as if she was speaking the words on the tape. As I looked on dumbly she turned her back to me and bent forward, raising her pinioned wrists to me. She wore handcuffs. Now, although I would never have claimed to be an expert at such things, I had seen handcuffs before. I'd even worn them once or twice in my rowdier days. The cuffs I had seen were different then the ones that adorned her dainty wrists. I was accustomed to a chain between the cuffs. Short, stout, unyielding, but a chain. These cuffs had no chain. The two cuffs were linked directly at their base by a hinge type of contrivance. Her wrists were held parallel to each other with only a slight "V"ish in-out movement possible. Escape seemed impossible. Indeed, it was impossible. An amused voice broke the silence. I had no idea Joan Sumpter had been watching. "She wants to take your coat, you know?" Joan said as she approached, smiling. "I did say that you should leave your inhibitions at home. Now didn't I?" I was on auto-pilot as I shrugged off my coat and dropped it over the outstretched arms along with my scarf. The girl turned back around to face me, keeping her arms raised as high as she could so my coat would not drag on the floor. Her shoulders were back and her chest out straining the limitations of her sweater. Joan sauntered up behind the girl and casually put her arm around her shoulders. As Joan nonchalantly played with the girl's clothing, picking imaginary lint from her sweater and casually adjusting the dimple in her necktie, she began to explain their unique relationship. To be continued... Joan explained that she and her husband enjoyed keeping several such "domestics". Each from a various backround, the servants came to their employment with various objectives. Yvette, for example was a student. She was studying dramatic arts at a nearby collage. The Sumpters provided her with her tuition, room and board and enough time off every weekday to attend class. All those benefits in exchange for absolute, unquestioning, frequently bound'n'gagged servitude the remainder of the time. Yvette listened patiently to this exposition and when Joan was done, looked up at me and shrugged her shoulders as if to say "Would you pass up a deal like that?" Joan chuckled and then continued on telling me how Yvette ultimately did enjoy all these trappings. Yvette tossed her head back haughtily and then humphed airily. "Who me?" Joan said, clarifying Yvette's little pantomime. Joan leaned forward and gave Yvette a kiss on the cheek then shooed her off with a swat on the bum and an order to have herself "fixed up" so she could help serve the hors d'oeuvres. As Yvette tried to squeeze between us she brushed against me, her breasts lightly touching my arm. After Yvette departed, Joan went on to explain that all of her "Helpers" were with her for different reasons, but, that they all shared their one common interest. "If you catch my meaning..." she said. It was difficult not to. I followed Joan down a hallway as she graciously elaborated on what I was about to observe. She had kept "Pets" as she put it, for many years. She had always loved being a boss, in total control. Domineering as it were. Before she had met and fell in love with her husband, she had assumed that she would go through life like that. Once they were married she had tried to forget what she had become accustom to, to deny it. She tried to put it behind her, and concentrate on their 50-50 relationship, but it just didn't seem to work out. "Besides," she said with a smile, "I'm not a very good housekeeper." So after several unhappy months she confessed her desires to her husband. At first, she said, he was reluctant, but grudgingly accepted a trial run. "After a while, the idea did seem to grow on him." She said that as she got to know me she began to get the impression that I might enjoy her little diversions. As she was trying to think of a way to thank me for all I had done, it became more and more apparent to her that this would be a perfect show of thanks. Certainly better then a case of scotch. I just wasn't sure I was up to all this... We entered a large living room. I glanced around at the formal room and the guests who chatted pleasantly. Two men and a woman were seated on two couches. Another girl, statuesque and strong stood nearby. As Joan and I entered the room the tall girl hurried over to us as fast as her hobbled stride would carry her. This girl wore a maid's uniform, stylized to say the least. The frilly trim on the edges of black satin uniform was a joy to behold. Lace circled the hem of the ballooning skirt and starched petticoats peeked out from underneath. A gigantic white apron edged in ruffles ran from her hem to her shoulders but left exposed the plunging neckline of her dress. The apron was tied in back with a big stiff bow. The girl's ample bosom threatened to spill out of the front of her uniform at any moment. Around her neck was a tight, stiff, starched white collar and a floppy red bow tie. The back of her collar seemed to go down under the back of her dress. There was a brass name-tag pinned on her apron and I read it as she approached. It said: "BABETTE Slave" It was then that Joan explained how Babette had been one of her biggest challenges. Joan turned to reach down onto a nearby coffee table and picked up a small, aged, photograph in a frame and showed it to me. The picture was of a biker woman, leather jacket, torn jeans, boots, the works. Joan explained that Babette had come to her with a dilemma: she just wasn't happy with the way her life was going and she wanted to make a little change. Joan said she had been eager to help this lost girl, although perhaps the change was a little more drastic then Babette originally bargained on. "Babette here, hadn't even worn a skirt in over 14 years." Joan said as she carefully placed the photo back on to the coffee table. "She came in jeans and work boots one day and was wearing petticoats and 5 inch heels the next." I glanced down at the black patent ankle strap pumps that were locked on her feet and they seemed to be even higher then that! A red rubber ball was wedged tightly in her mouth secured with a black leather strap. Even that strap was trimmed with pretty white lace. Babette offered me an hors d'oeuvre from the odd tray she was carrying. The tray was attached to two curved bars that were in turn attached to pivots, one on either hip. These pivots were anchored to a hard looking belt, buckled around her waist. The two bars continued up behind her where they came together into a handle of sorts. The handle just hung in the air at the moment. I took one of the hors d'oeuvres to be polite and then Joan motioned her away. As Babette turned I was surprised to see that she had no arms, or rather, her dress had no armholes or sleeves. After my little meeting with Yvette, I had assumed that her arms had been tied somehow behind her, but I had been slightly mistaken. There was a bulge in the back of her dress and it appeared that her arms were somehow folded behind her and her dress was then pulled up over her arms to her shoulders. There were lace patches where there could have been arm holes, but they were only decorative. Joan graciously offered me a drink, and by this point I really needed one. So we went up to the bar. My final surprise was there. Clarette. A buxom little brunette, she was dressed almost identically with Yvette, the only difference was that she had a blue pullover sweater vest in place of the long sleeve sweater Yvette wore. Clarette stood at attention behind the bar as we approached. A light chain was visible running from an unseen spot behind her up to the ceiling where it was securely anchored to a metal ring directly above her head. As she turned to face us, the inscription on her tape covered lips became apparent: "Your Pleasure?" "Scotch on the rocks." I replied because I really wanted it by then. Clarette pivoted on her high heels and reached awkwardly for a glass. The chain in the ceiling ran to a leather strap that pinned her elbows together behind her back. A thin chain ran from one wrist cuff to the other across the front of her belly With effort, she was able to reach the glass with her fettered hand and set it in front of me. She carefully filled the glass with ice as I marveled at her bound dexterity. Finally with a twist of her wrist the glass filled with scotch. It may have taken a few moments, but it was well-worth the wait. I quaffed the scotch and put the glass down, sending Clarette into her gyrations again. I couldn't help but be amazed at her grace. A side door opened and Yvette entered. Someone had attached the same type of tray that Babette wore to her hips as well as a small white apron to protect her skirt. A woman walked behind her with her hands on Yvette's shoulders "steering" her into the room. Joan motioned Yvette over to the bar, while the woman joined the others by the couch. "Another round for our guests." She informed Yvette. With that, Clarette began setting out several glasses and started mixing the beverages. While Joan was busy straightening Yvette's tie again, ("I just can't abide sloppy knots..." she informed me with a little wink.) I watched Clarette as she went about her business. As she finished each drink she hung the glass in a wire rack next to the bar. After Joan was satisfied with Yvette's presentablity, Yvette went to the wire rack and guided the tray under the glasses. Although her hands were still securely cuffed behind her back, she used the handle on the bar behind her back to act as a counterweight and it helped position her tray to lift the glasses out of rack. Amazing. Talent, skill, practice?... Yvette then headed over to the party with a tray load of drinks carefully avoiding any spills by manipulating the tray handle. She curtsied to the guests and it was difficult to tell whether or not the guests were happy to see her because they were thirsty, or whether they just needed a new bum to pinch. Joan took a few moments to introduce me around. Lawrence, her husband was a painter and photographer, A tall man with lanky features and graying hair. "Call me Larry" He said. George was the dumpy little man who sat on the couch, He was slightly balding, and to me, didn't seem to have very much going for him. When we shook hands he seemed a bit like a wet fish. The other two women were "Companions" of Joan's. Rose was an older woman, one who was probably very attractive one day, but now she just looked kind of "hard". She seemed nice enough, however. Elaine was the other woman. She could have been your next door neighbor. The one you borrow a cup of sugar from. Nice, but not really very interesting. After some small talk, more hors d'oeuvres from Babette's tray and another round of drink's from Yvette's I was really getting into the spirit of things. All three "slaves" seemed to be honestly enjoying their chores, with only Babette getting a bit cantankerous whenever someone had the audacity to lift her skirt. You almost couldn't resist the temptation. Joan excused herself after a while and went behind the bar and I saw her unclip the chain hanging from the ceiling to Clarette's elbow strap. The two girls then disappeared into the kitchen. I began to become aware that when Yvette was not waiting on anyone, she would always return to a place at my side. She would stand at attention there, waiting to be of service. Babette was more retiring, showing the same discipline, but back away from the group. Although I tried to be nonchalant, I couldn't help but glace up at Yvette a couple of times. She was simply lovely. I thought I caught her eyes snap away from me each time I looked up, but I could have been mistaken. After a while, Clarette entered the room. Her hands were switched behind her back and now, she too, wore a tray and a new tape message: "Dinner is served." To be continued... -- The guests all retired to the dining room and the three servant girls made a beeline to the kitchen. After we were seated, Joan joined us and took her place at one end of the table. Her husband was seated at the other end and the four guests filled in between. Joan rang a small bell and the parade began. Clarette, Yvette then Babette entered in turn each carrying a tray load of food. The tape had been removed from both Yvette's and Clarette's mouths betraying the bright red rubber balls that were strapped in their mouths. I could see Yvette bite down on the unyielding rubber as she concentrated on her gait to avoid stumbling on her hobble. The servants hurried back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room bringing out plates of food. The meal progressed with the three servants standing at attention against the wall waiting to be summoned. I learned that it was considered bad form around this dinner table for any of the guests to pass anything between themselves. If one guest wished to use the salt for instance, they would request the use of the condiment whereupon one of the maids would rush forward to accept it onto her tray. She would then move to the requester and offer the salt to them. Many times this only required that she turn her body as the giver was often seated directly beside the receiver. The meal was delicious, and as it wound down the three girls hustled back and forth clearing the table. While Babette busied herself in the kitchen, Clarette appeared with a tray full of brandy glasses to be distributed among the guests. George took his glass and casually lit a huge cigar. He leaned back and summoned Yvette. She came and stood beside him and gazed across the table meeting my eyes. George shook out his match and asked Joan: "Is it time for desert now?" Yvette jumped as if she had been struck! Her eyes flew open and she gaped at me beseechingly. I couldn't really gather the significance of George's comment beyond the innuendo. Except for Yvette's consternation, I would have surly thought it was an idle comment. George dropped the spent match on Yvette's tray and waved her away. A look of supreme relief swept Yvette's beautiful face as she went to dispose of the match. Clarette took the last tray of plates and followed Yvette into the kitchen. Joan sighed and looked at her husband. He shrugged and nodded to her. "Oh, Sometimes I think that is the only reason you come here..." She said. "...But I suppose it's O.K." With that, Rose and Elaine looked at each other and giggled. Then they got up and went to stand on either side of the swinging doors to the kitchen. Rose smiled at my obvious look of confusion and held a finger to her lips. The kitchen doors slowly opened and Clarette stepped into the room. As the doors closed behind her, Rose and Elaine stepped up behind the unsuspecting barmaid and hooked their arms through her handcuffed arms, catching her elbows and pulling them outward, totally taking the pretty young brunette under control. Clarette's shout was no more then a muffled grunt due to the tight strap and ball in her mouth and she glanced anxiously back and forth between her grinning attendants. The two women hustled the squeeling, struggling, but somehow unresisting, girl out of the room through the other door and no one (Not even me) raised a finger to intercede. George stood slowly and stretched, rubbing his pot belly. "Same place?" He asked Joan. She nodded and he casually walked out of the room. Joan rose and asked me to chat with Larry for a few moments while she was gone. Larry was the typical self-searching, reserved artist. In the course of our conversation he confided in me that he had fallen in love with Joan the moment he had lain eyes on her, those many years before. What he didn't understand at the time, was her sexual appetite. He smiled as he explained with a twinge of pride, It seemed that she is something of a nymphomaniac. "At first it was great, but I just could never seem to get any work done..." was his explanation. When she had come to him and explained about the urges she had hidden for so long, Larry said he was not very happy with the idea of sharing her with anyone. But he could not deny his beloved anything. Once he got used to the arrangements, he admitted, it was rather pleasant having all these pretty girls underfoot. The slave girls generally keep Joan content and he could finally get some work done. It was working out quite nicely. Joan appeared at the doorway and cleared her throat to get our attention. She asked if I was ready to go, and I figured that I was. I noticed that she was twirling a short, thin brown leather strap around her finger. I followed her out to the foyer where I expected my coat would be waiting for me. Instead I was astonished to see a pretty girl kneeling on the floor with her back to us. A girl with blonde hair, tightly French braided. A tight black leather strap was clearly visible biting at the nape of her neck. Her green sweater hugged her features as before, and I could see the back of her stiff white collar pinching her neck. For some unknown reason, I was confident that she reciently had her necktie adjusted. Her hands fidgeted in the unyielding steel cuffs. I began to shake. Joan helped her stand, then looped the strap around Yvette's elbows and pulled it tight, pinning Yvette's elbows together. She snapped a tiny padlock into the buckle. "I like to make things a bit more complicated whenever I have the opportunity!" She said as she turned Yvette around to face me. The tape on her lips had been replaced with some with a new message on it. It was short and crudely to the point, "Please, Fuck me!" My mouth hung agape and Yvette looked up at me innocently. I was simply speechless, I didn't know what to say! There was a sudden clatter approaching us as the sound of high heels on hardwood rang down the hall. Babette rounded the corner in a terrible hurry and almost slammed into us. Joan let go of Yvette and jumped into Babette's path with her arms outstretched. Babette stopped as short as her patent leathers' would allow. Someone had removed her maid's uniform, petticoats and apron. She stood before us now wearing a bizarre white corset. It was, to use understatement, tight. It laced up the front, running from Babette's belly up to a pair of cups that supported her exposed mammarys. At the bottom, it ended with six garter straps that held her stockings in place and little else. Her flower was on display for all to see, framed by the garter straps. The corset ran from under her breasts, up over the tips of her shoulders and around her body. Her arms were folded back behind her and under the corset. In the upper section of the back, the corset extended up to her neck where it turned into the normal looking, blouse collar she had buttoned around her neck. This was more then decorative, it also kept the corset from sliding down so she was unable to work her arms out of their predicament. Although the knot of her bow tie remained tied, the bow portion had come loose so she trailed two streamers of red silk behind her as she tried to evade recapture. Joan deftly cut off her avenue of escape and herded her into a corner. Babette's face, flushed with exertion from her romp showed nothing more then disappointment as Joan scolded her. "You know the rules! No escaping without permission!" (What a ridiculous statement!) Babette looked suitably chastised, but just as feisty as before. Joan re-tied Babette's bow, then reached into her hair and grabbed Babette's ear with a vice-like grip. She turned back to me and suggested that I take Yvette upstairs and see if I could find some way to entertain her. She twisted Babette's ear, forcing her to bend over at the waist. The gag in her mouth was more then efficient, diluting her protests down to a stifled mumbling. Yvette and I watched as Babette stumbled away under Joan's coaxing. The last thing we saw was Babette's bare bum rounding the corner. We were alone. Yvette contemplated me with her innocent blue eyes. It may sound silly now, but I was not sure what to do. I could not be sure if she even knew what was going on. The writing on her lips could have been a cruel joke on either (or both) of us. Yvette's seemed amused by my indecision. I didn't know whether she understood my conflict, or whether she just needed it for herself, but when she snuggled in under my arm and put her head on my shoulder, my indecision disappeared very quickly. I helped her climb the stairway. The cuffs on her ankles didn't really hinder her stride as she stepped up the stairs, but she began to lean heavily on me. I had never felt as strong as when I assisted this almost totally helpless girl to do something as simple as walking up the stairs. She seemed to tire a bit about halfway up the long curved stairway. My action was completely natural, I didn't really give it any thought, It just seemed like the right thing to do so I did it. I scooped her up into my arms. She gasped as I lifted her and regarded me with her soulful blue eyes. She shut her eyes, sighed and snuggled into my arms like a child, to be comforted and protected. I was happy to oblige. I turned right at the top of the stairs. There were closed doors, one on each side of the hall. I picked the door on the left. It wasn't easy manipulating the door knob while holding a hundred pound girl in my arms but the door opened and I gave it a little tap with my foot. The door opened into a bedroom and an wild scene. There was a bed against the far wall. It was placed sideways with one side butting up to the wall. Rose and Elaine were here, having their way with poor Clarette. Clarette lay on her back on the bed. They had tied her calf's together with each ankle pointing at the other leg's knee. Then they tied her lower legs to a long thin pole. This was to keep her legs spread as far as possible at the knees and the pole prevented any chance of her trying to roll over. A thin cord ran from her bound legs up under her toward her upper body. It seemed that they had also bound her elbows together again by the angle that her arms took as they went under her. Another pole was tied under her upper body extending out away from her body at her shoulders. Rose and Elaine were both naked, hovering over the bound figure of Clarette on the bed. They hadn't bothered to undress her, they had simply pushed her skirt up around her hips. Elaine knelt at the foot of the bed, assailing Clarette in a most intimate way while Rose was in the process of settling in by kneeling over the bound girl with one knee on each side of her head and then sitting back onto Clarette's chest. Clarette's head poked out from under Rose and turned in our direction as we inadvertently entered. Her hair was matted with perspiration and her face was crimson from exertion. They had replaced the rubber ball and strap with a metal ring and strap that held her mouth wide open. Rose glanced in our direction then slid her weight forward and pinched her thighs around the helpless girl's head. Clarette's body squirmed under the onslaught but her groans did seem to have a content ring to me. To be continued... -- We excused ourselves and backed out into the hallway. We went to the next door and I cautiously opened it, not sure of what we would find. To my relief it was a vacant bedroom with a big canopied bed with a matching settee, desk and a dresser and mirror. I gently lowered Yvette to her feet and she squirmed in her bonds for a moment. Not terribily hard, she appeared to be testing their security but she didn't seem to really want to escape. I sat down at the desk and watched her. She was glaring cross-eyed at a stray wisp of hair that had pulled out of it's braiding and was hanging in front of her eyes. She flicked her head to the side to try to blow the offending hair out of the way. She rubbed her nose on her shoulder attempting to move the hair without any luck. She glanced up at me for a second, and scowled at me in mock indignation at my unwillingness to help her. She stood in front of me looking deliciously rumpled, with one hip extended and her right ankle flopped over off her high heel shoe. I melted and moved the offending hair. I was still not sure what my next move should be. Oh, I know what I *WANTED* it to be! But I would never have been able to live with myself if I took unfair advantage of this dream. I tried to ask her what she wanted to do. "Is this what you want?" I asked, hoping for some kind of response. She looked at me with a befuddled look and shrugged her shoulders questioningly. "Do you know what's on the tape?" I asked motioning to the proposition written on the gag. She gazed at me uncertainly and then crossed her eyes again in an attempt to see the writing. She went to the mirror and looked at herself for a moment. The writing may have been backwards, but it was more then plain. She blushed intensly for a moment and then turned to me and shrugged her shoulders again, this time there was a distinct twinkle in her eye. I smiled, "That really isn't an answer. Is this really what *You* want to do?" She nodded. My heart leapt. "Your positive? I mean, If you don't..." I asked again, just a little more reassurance... She slowly meandered over and stood before me, strong, proud, defiant, sincere, ultimately helpless, unquestionably gorgeous. She leaned down just a bit and looked me straight in the eye. The answer was emphatic. YES! It isn't the easiest thing in the world, making love to a bound and gagged girl. My first instinct was to untie her. HA! Joan was much too clever for that, everything locked. The crass message written on the tape didn't do justice to this lovely lady so I pealed the tape back off her mouth. I wanted to kiss her, I had to kiss her! The strap that held the ball between her lovely lips was locked too. DAMN! I had to settle for her slender neck and ear lobes. I hugged her to me and wanted to feel the press of her body as she embraced me back. No way, they had neglected to give me the keys to her cuffs. The frustration seemed mutual as she pressed against me with all her strength. My hands sought her body, caressing, squeezing, fondling. I found her nipples easily, even through the wool of her sweater. They stood at attention to my touch, beckoning me to continue. I pushed the sweater up in an attempt to pull it over her head but with her arms strapped behind her back as they were, I couldn't comfortably work it over her head. So her sweater remained where it was, rolled up under her arms to expose the buttons of her blouse. I made short work of those. She moaned as my tongue danced over her engorged nipples. We drifted over to the bed. She sat back and awkwardly slid into a more comfortable position by pushing down into the bedding with her pinioned arms. She made room for me and indicated it by straining her arms around to her side and tapping on the open space with her fingers. I almost dove on to the bed to join her. I still desperately wanted to kiss her, when I did try all I could do was lick and nibble on her lips tasting the invisible residue of adhesive left from the tape. She panted and groaned as she strained to push her tongue out from under the ball in an attempt to meet mine. My hand ran slowly up her nylon sheathed thigh and brushed the hem of her skirt. From her gyrations on the bed, it had crept high up her leg and when my fingers lightly brushed under the hem I felt the cool smooth skin of her thigh and then the lacy trim of her garter. She shuddered softly, rubbing her knees together, trapping my fingers between her thighs for a moment. Then, slightly spreading her quivering thighs, she almost beckoned me to run my fingers higher still. I was delighted to comply. Imagine my shock as my probing, dancing digits found only fluffy hair and smooth moist skin at the end of their journey. Nirvana. Yvette trembled. Her eyes were full of excitement as she strained to press nearer to me. She rolled up on her hip and pressed her arms around in front of her as far as they would go with the elbow strap still pinning them together. Demonstrating amazing dexterity and flexibility she began undressing me! The buttons fell open slowly. When I tried to help her, she grunted angrily and pressed on with increasing determination. If she didn't want me to help, I figured, I might as well find something to amuse myself. So my fingers began their quest again. Stroking, pinching, caressing, I explored her lovely body. My next inspiration was her hair, I wanted to see her hair. It took me a few moments, but I finally found the strategic pins and bands that held her hair in the tight French braid. When it finally fell loose I was astonished by it's length. Yvette's hair fell almost to the center of her back in it's wavy blonde fullness. My fingers ran slowly through it and brushed it back as she concentrated on what she was doing. When she leaned forward, her hair fell down in front of her and hampered her vision. With a flick of her head, and an annoyed scowl at me for complicating her job, she threw her hair back out of her eyes. But it was only for as long as it took her to go back to her work, before the blonde wave cascaded into her face once again. I was naked and Yvette knelt over me with a look of triumph on her face. I reached to loosen her clothes, to try to make her more comfortable, but she was not interested as she brushed past my hands and began running her trammeled tongue over me. Our loveplay continued, back and forth, coaxing and teasing, squeezing and stroking for some time. Suddenly Yvette straightened and looked at me with her blue bedroom eyes, "Pwneess," she mumbled past the gag. "Mmmmooww!!" she groaned. "Lefff mnoo Ifff mow!" It was unmistakable to me what she was saying. It was a request I have never denied. I took hold of her shoulders and coaxed her to lie back on the bed. She shook her head and resisted so I let go. Yvette struggled up onto her knees and faced me attempting to push her knees apart. The tightness of her skirt prevented this, but only until I could come to her aid. She motioned with her eyes and I complied, chuckling to myself as I realized that I was no longer in command. I was being directed, controlled if you will, by a thoroughly tied and gagged girl. I pushed her skirt up around her hips and carefully slid my legs between her knees. The chain on her ankles was just barely long enough so that her ankles could comfortably rest on either side of my knees. Yvette's breathing was reduced to rapid panting as she gazed down, wide-eyed at me. I coaxed her to rise up and I gently guided her back down. Each sweet millimeter caused the passion to well up within us both. Yvette's eyes grew even larger and her face began to flush. She arched her back until I could no longer see her face. But I could still see her neck. Her neck went from pink to red to almost purple. The contrast between the stiff white of her collar only exaggerated the color. Veins bulged out on her neck, Every muscle in her body seemed to quiver and her knees squeezed the breath out of me as she hugged me as tightly as she could, the only way she could. I began to doubt that I had ever really seen a woman orgasm before. She climaxed twice more before we were done. We lay together on the bed for a long time, cuddling. She dozed off for a while and I watched her. The red ball tucked in her stretched mouth didn't seem to disturb her at all, to my amazement. She slept peacefully enough, but she still looked uncomfortable to me. She had resisted any of my attempts to help. Her sweater was still bunched up under her arms. The starched white collar poking out, buttoned tightly, holding her necktie in place. Her left breast was covered by the green wool of her sweater, but the right one was exposed. Her shirt was pushed back behind her and the bottom of her red tie lay down her bare belly almost to her navel. I cradled her in my arms as she dozed, oblivious to her condition. She was adorable. I tweaked her nose gently. Her eyes opened slowly and her eyes smiled up at me. We made love again. As we rested, Yvette squirmed around, trying to get a little more comfortable. A sharp pain scraped my chest and I lurched to prevent it. Yvette's name tag had scratched me. I pulled her sweater down and unpinned the offending object. I held the tag in front of me and complimented Yvette on what I thought was a very beautiful name. Yvette started laughing, although at first, for a horrifing moment, I thought she was choking. She looked at me and shook her head. "It's not your name?" I asked, kind of confused. "Naathhne... Mfff nnamm niss Naathhnne..." I was still confused, I asked: "Your name is Janie?" This suddenly mysterious woman shook her head with exasperation again. She pushed her hands out where I could see and moved her finger in an upward movement, then a downward diagonal movement then a upward movement. She was forming a letter. "M?... Martha?" I said without thinking. Wrong. She rolled her eyes skyward and groaned. "N?" I questioned. "Nathne?... Natalie?" She smiled and nodded. "Oh, Yvette's an alias eh?" I said. "Natalie, That's a pretty name as well, Natalie... She chuckled at my naivete. My mind was spinning as I reluctantly dressed. I had just redressed Yvette. It was really a pleasure for me to help, but we didn't have much luck getting all her wrinkles out. It seemed that our athletics had caused her to end up with an awfully rumpled uniform. I could not take my eyes off this wonderful, delightful, mysterious, sexy, creature as she sat patiently waiting for me. It was with a great reluctance that we left our little world and went back down stairs. To be completed... -- George and Larry were no longer in the living room but everyone else was. As we entered, Rose and Elaine got up from the couch and came up to us. They looked Natalie up and down and shook their heads in a scolding fashion. Natalie looked up at me again and shrugged, then Rose crooked her finger in the direction of the back corner of the room and then Yvette submissively followed the women's orders. I glanced at the opposite corner where the other two girls were being entertained. Babette stood at attention in the corner. She still had the same corset restraint she had worn earlier, but they somehow had been unable to locate her uniform. For modesty, they had added a pair of tiny red panties. They needn't really have bothered. A big piece of white tape covered her lips and a thin chain ran from the back of her corset to a bracket that hung out from the wall. The chain was taught and prevented her from even hoping to sit down. Her ankles were tightly bound with rope. Just to her right was Clarette, seated on a straight back chair. Thin white cord wound across her chest, one series of turns went above her breasts and the second went underneath. The cord was also run around her knees and in her mouth seemed to be the same ring thing I had seen earlier. Added to this contraption now was a plug that fit through the ring and had two industrial snaps, one on each cheek. Either way, she wasn't going to be talking much. Joan had just finished tying Clarette's ankles to the left chair leg, then she tightened and adjusted Clarette's necktie. There was a second chair with several coils of rope on the seat to Babette's left. A 35mm camera mounted on a tripod waited, centered on the two girls, waiting to be put to use in this family portrait. I glanced over to where Rose and Elaine had taken Natalie. Yvette knelt before the two women while Rose brushed the submissive girl's hair and Elaine primped her clothes. When Rose had finished she pulled back the tufts of hair that framed Natalie's face and pined them back onto the top of her head with a big red hair bow. Finished, they marched her over to the chair and began substituting the rope for her steel and leather restraints. After they tightly bound Yvette's arms behind her again and removed the cuffs, they coaxed her into the chair and used the rest of the rope to secure her identically with Clarette, a couple of bookends. Joan approached Yvette and went behind her and began fishing through her hair. When I saw the key, I hurried over. Natalie winced as the familiar red ball popped from her mouth. She worked her jaw for a moment then looked up at me and smiled, a deep, warm, beautiful smile. The kind of smile that simply beamed. "Hi?" she said in a raspy little voice. I leaned forward and kissed her, deeply, longingly. It was better then I had even imagined. Joan cleared her throat once and I ignored her. I didn't want this moment to end. She did it again. Natalie's kiss became more intense, more frantic. Joan cleared her throat a third time, this time with more authority. I reluctantly backed off. Natalie remained in place, straining forward against the rope that held her in the chair. Her eyes were closed and her lips remained pursed. Rose snapped her fingers and Natalie opened her eyes. Elaine held a big wad of cotton in her hand and Rose motioned to the bound girl to open her mouth. Natalie looked at me and then sighed, "I guess this is good-bye too..." she said solemnly, tears welling in her eyes. Then Yvette obediently opened her mouth and allowed it to be packed full of cotton. A wide rubber strap made sure that Yvette had nothing else to say. Joan led me to the door and provided my coat and scarf. She wished me well and opened the door. I tried to argue, I wanted only to stay. I could not leave without Natalie. That was not the deal I was told. There would be no reprieve. The door shut behind me. It was raining, a light cold mist stung at my eyes, mingling with my own emotions. As I got to my car there was a flash from a flashbulb in the living room, then another and another. I drove away. A week went by, My thoughts were constantly clouded by the vision of a mysterious blonde girl, one who could capture my imagination and hold it forever. My calls had gone unreturned. I sat in my apartment alone. Longing for just a glimpse of the girl who had won my heart in the briefest of encounters. I remembered her scent, her voice, "Good-bye" was all it said. I buried my face in my hands. There was a soft knock on my door, I was angry. I didn't need any salesmen right then. There was another knock. I went to the door and pulled it open. Joan Sumpter stood on the other side of my door. Behind her was a pair of wide blue eyes peeking over her shoulder. I could feel my mouth drop open in disbelief. Joan smiled, then stepped aside. The girl who stood behind her wore a hooded cape. There was a big piece of white tape on her mouth. There was no message. "We gave it some thought..." Joan began, indicating Natalie, "... We decided that you might enjoy having a maid of your own for a while." She said as she placed a small suitcase at my feet. It rattled with the sound of metal. I heard what Joan said, but I could not respond. Joan guided Natalie gently towards me and turned and started down the hall. "If you get tired of her, just let me know, and I'll be happy to take her back..." she said. I heard her whistling a show tune as she disappeared around the corner. Her voice waifted down the hall. "Matchmaker Matchmaker, Make me a match..." Tire of Natalie? That was impossible. What began as passion grew into love, true love. Natalie and I were married 6 months later... Now I'm aware that this story seems a bit far fetched. In fact, even *I* have a hard time believing that anyone could be this lucky and in all honesty, I never question anyone who would doubt it's authenticity. All I can say in closing is: If this Tale I have just conveyed is *NOT* the truth, the whole truth, and nothing, but the truth... Ahhh, well..., Then..., *Sigh*... It ought to be... -- You don't have to say it, I will.... What an Jerk... :^P Did I fool ya? Did you think it was real?? Even for a minute??? Nahhhh, I didn't think so. :^) I really didn't set out intending it to be a little bit hoaxy, it just came out that way. If that bothers you, Sorry. If you enjoyed it, it was my pleasure... Anyway, I had fun writing it, and I have a couple more written containing lots of "Tied" up women that I'll post, assuming that some of you liked this one. They were all written long before I found ASB and are not as pretentious as this. But maybe even more far fetched. (If that's possible! :^) Til Later, SNIDLEY -- .
