Though she was still a little hesitant around Aurora, Celia found herself glad to see the happy couple and her heart melted at how much affection they showed each other. She couldn’t help but giggle as Aurora leaned in close to Elyn and whispered Spanish words in her ear while stroking Elyn’s short, thick orange hair.

Seeing the two of them, Celia had no words to describe how they looked. Simply put, in her mind, they were beyond beautiful. Aurora, wearing tight, black leggings and a casual, red tank top, was just about as gorgeous as Celia could imagine and she was only in casual clothing. Her perfect, caramel skin, long black hair, and intense brown eyes helped Celia understand part of the reason Elyn fell for her. Of course, Celia found Elyn herself to be just about the most beautiful person in the world. Aside from perhaps Taria, their lithe, athletic and blue-haired friend who she had been seeing lately.

Elyn stood tall and had just come in the door wearing what Celia thought of as an adorable outfit. A short, red pleated skirt, low cut red running shoes, and a tight fitting red t-shirt with short sleeves just below her shoulders combined with a pretty, black choker necklace and Celia’s heart just about melted seeing her friend.

Celia herself, the shortest of the three women, had also just come in with Elyn and was still dressed in her tight, brown capri pants, light black sandals and her own tight, black t-shirt. Contrasting against Elyn, with shining ivory skin, her short orange hair with thick bangs, and soft red eyes, Celia had long, brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She herself didn’t think so but Elyn always complimented Celia on her pretty blue eyes and healthy, pale skin.

For the moment, Celia couldn’t take her eyes off the adorable couple in front of her. The two of them giggling and blushing, planting little kisses all over each other’s faces... until Aurora turned her way and met Celia’s eyes.

“How rude of us,” she said. “To not acknowledge our dear guest.”

Celia’s history with Aurora was... complicated. She hadn’t always been the sweet, lovey-dovey girlfriend of one of Celia’s best friends. In fact, Aurora had been more then antagonistic with the entire group of them. All except Elyn but, as they both tell it, even their first meeting was a little on the ‘intense’ side.

So, even despite her change, Celia felt herself unable to hold Aurora’s gaze and lowered her eyes when Aurora looked her way.

“No, it’s fine...” Celia said. “You two obviously needed that.”

“No, it was rude of us,” Elyn said, chiming in. “Sorry, Celia. Come on over here.”

Her friend’s sweet smile and outstretched hand made Celia smile yet again and she took Elyn’s hand, stepping further into Aurora’s extravagant penthouse.

“Are you okay?” Elyn asked, her eyes filling with concern.

She can tell Celia thought. Elyn always was good at reading emotions. Even forgetting the fact that she could literally read minds, she was adept at reading the subtleties of body language and expression.

“Yeah, of course. Just, you know...” Celia glanced at Aurora. “Still adjusting...”

“I understand,” Aurora said. “We had some... rough times.”

Celia smiled. “Well yeah... Though I did beat your ass at least once.”

Aurora chuckled. “Ah yes... Not a great memory for me. I was... in a bit of a dark place. But you, my dear, you were so brave. Somewhere, lost in all my madness, I really started to admire you after that.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really. Though I didn’t quite see it until dearest Elyn set me straight. Oh and, on that note... I am sorry, Celia.”

“Sorry?”

“Just, you know, for... everything. I never got a chance to say that to you.”

Celia shook her head. “It’s the past now. And besides... some of it was fun.”

“Oh, I always knew you thought that,” Aurora said. “It doesn’t change all the ways I wronged all of you. So, well, I’ve been meaning to say that for a while.”

“It’s okay, Aurora,” Celia said. “As long as you’re with Elyn, it’ll be fine.”

“And that’s the rest of my damn life,” Aurora said.

“Oh, Aurora...” Elyn said, pulling her close and resting her head on Aurora’s shoulder.

“So, Elyn, why have you brought your adorable friend home with you?” Aurora asked, finally broaching the subject.

“Well, first, I wanted to spend some time with her. It’s been too long. And second... I was hoping we could play. If Celia is interested, of course.”

“Oh, that would be awesome!” Celia said, with more enthusiasm than she meant to convey. “I mean, if that’s all right and everything...”

Aurora chuckled. “Glad to know you’re eager. I would be thrilled to get you two into a little bondage trouble...”

“In that case, I have an idea,” Elyn said.

“Don’t you always?” Celia asked.

“Well, yes, but this one is amazing! We need to try it, Celia.”

Both Celia and Aurora had their eyes on the orange-haired beauty in front of them, awaiting her next words.

“Let’s hear it then,” Celia said.

“All right. Here’s what I think we should do...”

...

It had been a little while since Celia felt the excitement of tight ropes clinging to her body, restraining her and fighting against her movement. With her wrists pinned behind her back, tied with rope, more wrapped around her arms and torso, both pinning her arms and forming a harness around her chest, Celia couldn’t move her upper body very much at all. For the time being, her legs were free and Aurora had not yet gagged either of them.

Elyn, bound the same way as Celia, stood in the open living room floor of Aurora’s penthouse just to Celia’s right. Side by side, their arms completely tied, they both awaited what Aurora would do next to help finish off Elyn’s idea.

“A Dance-Off,” she had said. “Tied up, gagged, and dancing to some good music.”

Celia loved the idea but asked what sort of rules there were. “Well, dance when the music starts and you can’t stop until it ends,” Elyn said. “Or you’ll lose points. Aurora can be the judge. The winner gets hogtied. The loser, well, they get hogtied too. And blindfolded with a hood. Oh, and the winner gets to join in and try to whip the loser.”

“Whip?” Celia asked, raising an eyebrow.

“You know, gently,” Elyn said. “Sound fun?”

To Celia, it sounded like so much fun. So, with Aurora doing the tying, they were both quickly put into the ropes while Aurora picked out gags for them. She asked them both how they wanted to be gagged. Elyn said “Surprise me.” Celia liked the sound of that. So she said “Me too.” Now it was up to Aurora to decide how they would be gagged.

She stopped in front of Celia first, holding up a large, purple ball gag. “Much more pleasant circumstances this time, right?” Aurora said. “Think of it as part of the apology. I know you like these.”

Celia let out a breath. “I do. And... I did kinda smuggle the one you used on me into my room...”

Aurora chuckled. “Not the best of memories but I’m glad you enjoyed the gag. So, do you like this one?”

Celia smiled. “It’s perfect.”

“Excellent. Allow me to help you put it on.”

Celia opened her mouth wide and let Aurora gently press the purple rubber ball into her mouth, strapping it on tight behind her head. She stepped back and looked Celia in the eye.

“How’s that? You like it?”

Celia nodded and grunted once, already feeling her saliva coating the ball. She giggled when she realized what the gag would do.

“Yes, you’ll be dribbling all over, won’t you? You like that too?”

Celia nodded again.

“Good. Now, for my Elyn...”

Aurora stepped in front of her girlfriend and held up two pretty silk scarves. “A classic for you, a classic beauty.”

“It’s been a while,” Elyn said. “Usually you choose a nice ball or panel gag for me. So what’s the plan here?”

“Stuff your gorgeous mouth with this,” Aurora said, holding up a black scarf. “And pulling this one between your teeth.” Aurora held up the red scarf.

“A cleave gag? Oh, you spoil me. Those are my favourite cloth gags.”

“I know my Elyn. Only the best for my wonderful slave,” Aurora said.

“You’re so sweet for such a bad girl,” Elyn said.

Aurora couldn’t help but chuckle again. “Bad girl? I thought you made me into a good one.”

“Oh no, you’re still bad. But in the fun way,” Elyn said. “And, come to think of it, so am I.”

“And bad girls like you need to be gagged, don’t they?”

“Well, as long as I keep talking, yes. Talk talk talk, I just keep going and going until you finally decide to get that scarf into my mmmph!” Aurora stuffed the black scarf fully into Elyn’s mouth, making her cheeks bulge out a bit, before wrapping the scarf a few times around her mouth, parting her lips, and tying it on as tight as she could behind Elyn’s head.

“Use that pretty mouth to talk now...” Aurora said.

“Ghmm cghmmmnnt!” Elyn said, shifting a bit in her bonds.

“Oh I do hope you lose... but I am to be impartial. Do we all agree to the rules?”

Celia and Elyn both nodded, grunting into their gags, as Aurora stepped back and admired them both.

“Such a sight, the both of you here. I must be the luckiest woman in the world...”

She sat down in a chair across the room and picked up a small remote. “I already have the music all picked out. You want to hear it?”

Both bound and gagged women simply nodded again, squaring up their posture and ready to begin their dance.

“I found some EDM. Electronic Dance Music, in case you have trouble with acronyms.”

Both women giggled.

“It’s one song that usually loops. And it loops for... fifteen minutes.”

“Hgghhmmph!?” Both women exclaimed, already looking worn out.

“Yes, you’ll give me a long dance. It will be rewarding. Win or lose you both get to remain tied up. And, in the end, we’ll all be having fun. But for now...” Aurora pressed a button on her remote and the speakers built into the walls and ceiling jumped to life. A fast beat, both hypnotic and irresistible, began to play into the room.

“Dance!”

They both stood still for a few seconds. Elyn was the first to move, swaying her hips and twisting her torso back and forth, keeping with the beat and the melody. Celia, meanwhile, focussed on the beat and moved second, hopping back and forth on her feet, one foot to the other, rhythmically bobbing up and down.

Aurora watched this for a while with a wry smirk, eyeing both beautiful women as they kept her in thrall with their quick and lithe movements. She adored the sight of the two of them, thick hair swaying, bodies moving... Celia beginning to drool from her gag onto her chest and the carpeted floor. And both of them already working up a sweat as they did their best to dance along to the music with their bodies bound as they were.

Elyn changed up her dance, now doing something like a runway model, walking back and forth toward Aurora, each step in rhythm, swaying her hips and each time she turned her back to Aurora, she would turn her head to the side, wink on beat, and flash her girlfriend a gagged smile.

Celia, on the other hand, changed to a sort of shuffle, and impressed Aurora by standing on her toes and doing an agile spin, over and over in rhythm. She even just about managed to moonwalk, which just impressed Aurora even more.

The music continued for a long while, both women changing up their dance routines, sometimes even copying each other, but they were both slowing down a bit and just about drenched in sweat from the speed of their movements and the struggle the ropes provided for them.

The music ended, Celia threw her head back, whipping her ponytail, and long bit of saliva dripped from her gag as it had been doing almost constantly throughout her dance. Elyn spun on her heel, back to Aurora, and gave her another over the shoulder look, keeping a wide stance and posing for her girlfriend.

Aurora applauded them both, standing up and crossing the room.

“That was just about the hottest thing I’ve ever seen,” Aurora said. Both women stopped their poses and relaxed again, taking in deep breaths, both smiling through their gags.

“Elyn...” she said. “You’re so gorgeous. Every move gave me all sorts of... desires. You know what I mean.”

Elyn nodded again. “Mmm hmm.”

“Your dancing was exquisite. Perfectly in rhythm, and you did everything in your power to tease me... and it worked.”

Elyn winked again and giggled.

“Celia...” Aurora began, turning to the small brunette. “You were not only very cute but just an amazing spectacle to look at. And so athletic. All those spins, the jumping, the twirling... do you dance often?”

“Yghhmpph,” Celia said, nodding again.

“I know my Elyn can dance. But we don’t get so much practice in. It must be how you stay in such good shape, am I right?”

Celia shrugged.

“So I’m kind of right? It’s just one thing you do, yes?”

Celia nodded once again.

“Well then I’d say you are, without question, the best dancer here. Now, you may think I’m biased because I just want to see Elyn lose but... based purely on merit, I have to give the win to you, Celia.”

Celia squealed with delight and tried to do a fist pump with her bound hands, failing miserably and laughing into the ball gag.

“So then... to the hogtie with you.”

Celia, catching her breath, laid down on the floor on her stomach and let Aurora tie her legs together at the thighs and ankles, attaching one rope tightly to her wrists and bound arms. She then handed Celia a small whip, placing it into one of her bound hands. “You’ll be joining the fun soon enough,” Aurora said.

“Now for you, Elyn...” when she turned, Elyn was already laying on the floor on her stomach, feet up, and smiling.

“Always eager... here we go, then.”

She hogtied Elyn the same way before pulling a tight black, latex hood over her head, aligning a set of holes for a nostrils, before lacing it up tight behind her head. She smiled as she picked up her riding crop and glanced across the room at Celia.

“Now, dear Celia, if you want to get in on this action... you’ll have to get over here.”

“WGHHMMT!?” Hgghhmm! Nghhmm fghhhrrr!!” Celia objected through her giggling.

Aurora divided her attention then, letting Elyn feel the gentle sting of the riding crop, squealing and flinching at each touch, giggling away. All while watching Celia try to squirm and struggle in her bonds, sliding slowly across the floor to reach Elyn and help join in whipping her.

It had been a while and Celia was almost there, still smiling and giggling away right along with Elyn. Aurora sat back for a moment and sighed. “I was right. I am the luckiest woman in the world.” And then she carried on playfully whipping her girlfriend and watching Celia struggle away on the floor, having fun herself.

This carried on well into the night. And none of them could have dared think of anything else they would rather have done that night. Before concentrating again on her struggle, Celia let one more thought strike her. Elyn really does have the best ideas.
