For Elyn, the night couldn’t have come soon enough. It was balmy outside with a gentle breeze and the wooded area she was in was quiet, calm and at that time of night not a soul would be stirring. It was a perfect time for a walk. But, of course, this was Elyn. It wouldn’t be just some ordinary ‘walk.’

She looked herself over in the mirror. Elyn was rather tall, though perhaps just a little taller than average. Her ivory skin contrasted with her current attire; a tight, one piece red swimsuit cut so low that it showed off all of her gorgeous legs almost to the hip. And that itself wasn’t enough to draw attention away from the plunging neckline that showed off her rather ample chest.

Her favourite red flip flops completed the outfit but, as Elyn noted, there was nowhere to swim nearby. She found herself alone, in a cabin, in a bedroom designed specifically for her by her girlfriend, Aurora. But her girlfriend had to work overnight so, on this night, she was alone. But Elyn always found ways to have fun alone.

In the mirror, she checked her short, thick orange hair with its long bangs, running one hand over her scalp. Her eyes, irises of soft red, warm but intense, smiled at the sight of herself.

Elyn’s next acts excited her to the very core. She turned to her bed and thought long and hard about what to choose among the leather straps, armbinders of leather, latex, even spandex, various harness gags, ball gags, handcuffs, chains, leg irons, tape, rope, blindfolds... and this was only a fraction of her collection.

She wanted to restrain herself in some way and walk to the nearest beach. Which was at least a two hour walk away. And, to make things more interesting, she had left a box full of restraints on Aurora’s bed back at her penthouse apartment. Elyn knew that Aurora would be ending her night shift at 3am. So that meant she would be tied up on the beach by herself for a while until Aurora arrived, box in hand, and a mind as devious as Elyn’s own.

Through the problem of deciding, Elyn just decided to close her eyes and reach down for something... it was cold and metallic and she smiled to herself. When she opened her eyes she picked up a thick, steel collar and locked it on around her neck. It pressed in just tight enough and, though it was cold at first, it would warm to her body as the night, and the walk, wore on.

Closing her eyes again, Elyn reached down to the bed and found something hard, but rubbery, and found it attached to a web of straps. When she opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but smile again. It was a very large, black rubber ball gag harness. One of her favourite types. The thought of it making her drool made her giggle and she immediately set about strapping it on. Straps went on under her chin, either side of her nose, and over top of her head to hold the harness in place, keep the black rubber ball tightly in her mouth, and pull her jaw shut around it.

Elyn stole a glance at the mirror again, giggling behind the gag as she saw herself. Once again closing her eyes, Elyn reached down to the bed. Another steel item reached her hands, though this rattle with a two foot long chain. With another smile, she opened her eyes once more and saw a pair of shining, steel leg irons that she quickly ratcheted shut around her ankles. The chain would certainly shorten her stride and just makes things more difficult for her.

Elyn decided then what else she was going to do and didn’t leave the rest to surprise. She picked up a rope and tied it around her waist, looping one end between her legs and pulling tightly, letting a moan escape the ball gag in her mouth at the sensation. After that, she tied two more long pieces of rope into coils, slipping them on over her chest. She slipped her arms into one, then the other, using shorter lengths of rope to cinch them tightly and keep her arms tightly pinned and frame her breasts. Elyn was sure to a tie a rope between them as well, creating a restraining chest harness.

Finally, it took her a bit of effort to reach down to the bed with her arms tied, but Elyn managed to grab a pair of shiny hinged handcuffs, made of thick steel, and lock her wrists behind her back. She struggled a bit to test her bonds but nothing was coming loose. Elyn did have a lot of practice getting herself tied up, after all.

Giggling to herself again, Elyn began the first steps of her long walk. Navigating the stairs would be a challenge in and of itself with the leg irons but not only was Elyn in good shape but she had all the graceful balance of a ballet dancer. Walking up the stairs bound and gagged would just be a simple bit of fun to a woman like Elyn.

A cacophony of sounds followed her footsteps; the slap of her flip flops with every step, the dragging and rattling of the chain on her leg irons and handcuffs. Each step up brought the sounds with it. Her stride shortened by the cruel chain, Elyn could just barely get each of her long, elegant legs to the top of each stair. The progress was slow, just as Elyn wanted, and the long staircase to the main cabin up top almost seemed to have no end as Elyn put one foot in front of the other, rattling her chains, slapping her flip flops, and giggling into her gag.

In different circumstances, the process would have been agonizing. But for Elyn, it was heavenly. To climb the stairs while tightly restrained and gagged, as usual, was just perfect for a woman like her. Nothing about her slow progress did anything to discourage her. In fact, it made the whole thing more exhilarating and exciting since it meant she would get to stay tied up for longer.

Finally, the long climb came to an end and Elyn realized that the cabin door was currently locked. And, thanks to Aurora’s building habits, it would lock automatically as soon as she left. Her stomach fluttered when she had the thought that, once outside, there was no turning back.

It took her a bit of contortion, and standing on her tiptoes, to reach the deadbolt and unlock the front door. She just about managed to get the door open. Anyone else would have been hesitant about a bound and gagged walk through the woods alone at night. But Elyn, confident and even excited at the prospect of someone seeing her, stepped outside and shut the door behind her without hesitation.

For a moment she closed her eyes and took in a breath of the comfortably warm, sweet air of the early summer night. Opening her eyes, she looked above her through the trees and saw the beautiful stars above, twinkling and dancing away through the throngs of branches as they waved at her in the gentle, cool breeze.

Letting out a satisfied breath, Elyn marched on into the woods. She knew where she was going. Aurora had taken her out here many times. But the walk back to any sidewalks or paths would take at least twenty minutes for even a normal stride. With Elyn’s stride greatly shortened by the chain of her leg irons it would take even longer. And she felt her stomach flutter again at the thought.

Moving along at an easy pace, Elyn stopped for a moment just to struggle and test out her gag.

“Mmmphh!” she mumbled, not really trying to say any words. As she tried to open her mouth, saliva dripped down from her ball gag and onto her chest, which surprised her. She squealed and giggled at the sudden feeling, letting out another long breath. After a bit more struggling, not making any headway against her bonds, Elyn continued on into the surrounding forest.

The night was silent and still but, to Elyn, that was very calming. Not a soul was around to see her or attempt to ‘rescue’ her from her ‘predicament.’ The distant, lonely call of an owl echoed off the trees around her and made her jump slightly, eliciting another giggle.

The walk through the woods went on and on; her flip flops still slapping and her chains still rattling as she went. But now the trees were thinning and the path would soon become solid and lead to a long, winding asphalt path. After all, the woods where Aurora hid her cabin were right near a large natural park created by the city of Weston. And this beach Elyn was headed to was part of that. Of course, it was still a long way off, at least an hour and half or more. But the asphalt pathway would lead her right past it where she could detour and walk into the sand and listen to the sounds of the ocean.

She finally emerged from the trees, feeling her feet hit solid ground, and kept up her gradual pace, the chain of her leg irons dragging on the hard surface beneath her feet. The trees finally parted and Elyn was walking, completely alone, beneath the silver moonlight. Her excitement grew with every step and she would jump at any sounds around her, wondering how she should react if someone saw her.

The thought of being discovered in her bondage predicament filled her with a sort of excited terror, part fear and part joy, for the unknowable possibility of being discovered. What would someone think of her if they knew she had done this to herself? Would they try to help her? Or carry her away themselves? While all these dreams danced about in her head, she kept on at a steady pace toward the beach without a soul in sight.

Her pace slowed as she heard some shuffling movement ahead of her. Was someone there? Had they been following her? Were they watching her the whole time?

Elyn jumped a bit when a shape crossed her path, stopping and nearly falling over, losing a flip flop in the process of keeping her balance.

“Mmmmpphhh!!” she squealed, shrinking back, only half faking her emotions, when she spotted what had jumped out at her. A small, cute little brown rabbit with white spots on its back hadn’t seemed to take notice of her as it emerged from out of the bushes beside the asphalt pathway.

Her entire body relaxed and she let out a soft sigh, watching the cute little creature as it slowly hopped across the pathway to the other side, its nose wriggling and its ears perking up and listening every which way.

Elyn remained perfectly still, trying her best not to scare the little bunny, feeling her heart melt at the very precious sight of it. While staring, Elyn let her jaw relax and her mouth opened slightly. When it did, a long drop of saliva fell from her mouth and onto her chest and she squealed a bit at the sudden feeling. The little rabbit bolted when it heard her voice and Elyn’s heart sank in disappointment.

“Sgghhrmmyy...” she said, trying to quietly apologize to the rabbit through her gag. The sound of her own muffled voice made her chuckle but, with the rabbit now gone, she continued on down the path.

The winding path weaved in and out of the trees and soft, white lights brightened her way forward. In that moment, the only sounds Elyn could her were the rattling of her chains, the slapping of her flip flops with each step, and her own breath. The excitement made her heart pound in her chest as she realized that, without the key or anyone else around, she had no way out of her restraints. And there was no one to help her...

“Mmmmph!” she said, pretending to be afraid and imagining all sorts of scenarios in her mind. Aurora was her captor in all of them. For a moment, she quickened her pace and tried to run, pretending she was an escaped prisoner on the lam from Aurora, the prison’s vicious warden.

Then another idea came into her head and she kept stopping periodically to look behind her and mumble incoherently into her gag. She pretended to be a restrained patient from a stereotypical insane asylum, rambling into her gag and trying to avoid the beautiful but determined nurse looking after her, Aurora.

“Hgghhhllllppp!” she cried, muffled by her ball gag. Now she pretended to have been kidnapped but had just escaped her captor, the devious Aurora, and was now running through the woods, frightened and lost...

All these and a dozen more scenarios came and went from her mind and killed so much time that, suddenly, Elyn found herself confronted with the beach. She didn’t know how much time had passed but she stepped out into the sand and stared out at the calm waters. The gentle waves lapped at the sand, washing ashore with a soothing sound that mesmerized Elyn. She closed her eyes and took in the salty sea breeze, letting out a long breath.

She kicked off her flip flops and felt the sand on her bare feet, loving the cool touch of the sand during the night. Stepping forward slowly, Elyn walked to the surf where the waves were massaging the wet sand and they would move in and wash over her ankles.

The water was cool and she was surprised by it at first. “Mmmph!” But it was gentle, calming, and actually quite pleasant. So Elyn stepped further and now was fully in the shallow water. She chose then to sit down in the water and let the waves wash over her body, rendering her soaking wet in no time at all. She even dunked her head in, shaking some of the water loose from her long, thick bangs.

Elyn laid down on her side, keeping her head above the water, and let it wash over her again and again. It’s gently caress reminded her of Aurora and she moaned, letting her eyes close again at the sensual pleasure of the calm ocean...

A voice, soft, Hispanic, distinctly feminine, called to her from somewhere on the beach. Elyn sat up and looked behind her and her heart leapt when she saw Aurora.

The woman, a few inches shorter than Elyn herself, was dressed in a skintight red catsuit and black high heels and fingerless gloves. A smirk spread across her lips and her dark eyes shone. With one hand on her hip and another holding a small box, the caramel skinned woman let the breeze toss her long, black hair.

Elyn stood up and walked toward her. Aurora met her halfway and spoke gently.

“Now, slave,” she said, letting her usually trace Hispanic accent thicken which she knew always excited her girlfriend. “Where have you misplaced your shoes?”

“Hmmmpphh...” Elyn searched the ground for her flip flops, obediently putting them on and walking back over to Aurora, who still had a wide, devious smile on her face.

“Good girl. But losing them in the first place... I think that’s worth a punishment, don’t you?”

“Mmm hmmm....”

Aurora chuckled and opened the box. She dangled the set of handcuff keys Elyn had left for her from one finger, holding them inches from her face.

“You will have to free yourself... if you can earn it.”

“Mmmph?”

“Turn around, love,” Aurora said. “I have a surprise for you.”

Elyn did as she was told and was suddenly thrust into darkness as a tight, latex hood was pulled on over her face. She had nothing but nose holes to breathe through and the tightness of the hood pushed the ball gag further into her mouth, opening her jaw wider and plunging her into complete darkness.

“Mmmph!” she squealed.

She felt Aurora’s hands hug her around the waist and she was attaching... something... to her crotchrope. Finally, she kissed Elyn on the neck once before standing back.

“Now, my slave...” Aurora began. “Your punishment begins...”

At first, nothing happened. Elyn’s confusion grew with each passing second and, utterly blind to the world and still soaking wet from her time laying in the water, the breeze made her shiver and the silence was... unnerving.

Without warning, something slapped against her backside, eliciting a sharp cry from Elyn’s gagged lips. Though she did enjoy it as much as the slight pain shocked her.

“Walk, slave. Back the way you came.”

Elyn looked around, frantically, unable to discern which way she had come. Aurora whipped her again and Elyn jumped.

“I said walk,” Aurora said, a smile still in her voice. “Find the path. Let me help you...”

Whatever Aurora had attached to Elyn’s crotchrope jumped to life and began.... vibrating. It was terrible stimulating and Elyn moaned into her gag.

“Turn left,” an automated voice said to her. Elyn did as it instructed and the vibration continued. It was gently and soft, stimulating her in just the right way...

“It’s just a cell phone, Elyn,” Aurora said, knowing her girlfriend would be confused by the voice. “Programmed by me, of course.”

“Mmmmmmmmmmppphhh....”

“Whenever you walk the right way, that will happen. So do exactly as it says. If you go the wrong way...”

Aurora whipped Elyn again. “And I will remind you. Sound fun?”

“Mmmmm hmmm....” Elyn said, shivering partly from the cool breeze and partly from her own excitement.

“Very well then. Let’s begin.”

With the phone giving her directions, Elyn eventually found her way back to the path. She took a few whips on the way but, of course, some of those had been intentional. Elyn wanted to disobey the orders sometimes. Aurora knew this, of course, but she indulged this all the same.

When Elyn was finally back on the asphalt path, she and Aurora began their long walk back to the cabin. With Elyn blind, unable to see which direction to go, and their little game in full swing... it was going to be a long and terrific night.
