She was dressed the part too wearing a cozy sweater dress. She hated walking around the house in her bare feet, and so to protect them against the frigid hardwood floors she pulled on a pair of white over the knee socks in an effort to not only keep her feet warm but also her legs too.

Kayla had started her day off right with a hearty breakfast, and then proceeded to plop down onto her living room couch and dive into the book she was currently reading. Warm autumn light spilled in from her window as she curled up on the couch. She treasured these days off. It was so nice to take a break from the crazy reporter life and to just rest for a bit. She'd be back at it soon enough as she really did love her job, but these breaks were very much needed.

*Tap Tap Tap*

Kayla looked up from her book, adjusting her glasses as she did so. Someone had knocked at the front door to her apartment. She was very perplexed by this, and as she sat there part of her hoped whoever it was would just go away. But that was not the case as another set of knocks rang out following the first. Kayla sighed, and setting down her book she walked over to the front door.

Upon opening it, she was greeted by a young woman, probably in her mid 30's, dressed smartly in a button up shirt, pencil skirt, and dark tights with a pair of ankle boots. She smiled warmly at Kayla, and the name  tag on her chest read: "Cassie." She was holding a clipboard, and had a briefcase set down behind her.

"Hi there," Kayla said trying to hide her disinterest. This wasn't the first time solicitors had showed up trying to sell something to her, and until she put up a sign she reckoned it wouldn't be the last.

"Hello," the girl said with a bright and bubbly voice, "as you can see, my name is Cassie."

She did a cute little curtsy as she pointed to her name tag. Kayla did everything in her power not to roll her eyes.

"Hi, Cassie," she said, "um listen I'm not really interested in buying anything right now."

The smile slowly faded from the girls face as her shoulders dropped. She was crushed.

"Oh...very well then."

Kayla was way too much of a sucker to let the girl leave on these conditions, so she decided to at least hear her out.

"Or...well, I'm sorry...let me at least hear your pitch," she said, "I can't make any promises, but why don't you go ahead and tell me what it is you're here for."

The girl perked back up again.

"Oh well, like I said, my name is Cassie, and I work for a company that makes super durable tights!"

Cassie kicked her leg out a bit showing off her semi sheer nylons. They did look very sturdy, and Kayla was an avid tights wearer. Perhaps she had judged this girl too soon...maybe she would end up buying something after all.

"Very cool," Kayla said, "I go through way too many pairs."

"Don't we all? Well, not anymore! Our company makes tights that are made to last! Say goodbye to runs, rips, and tears, because these tights are crazy strong!"

"Do you have different colors and patterns?"

"We've got it all! From opaque to sheer, nude to an array of colors, shades, and patterns, we have got your legs covered!"

Kayla smiled. The girl was trained well, and was really selling Kayla on these tights. That's the thing about door to door sales. If the person selling the product is good, they can rake in tons of sales. Before, Kayla was ready to shut the door on this girl and go back to her book, but now she was really considering buying a pair of tights just to see. It was an interesting turn of events to be sure.

"How much for a pair?"

"That is a great question! Prices do tend to vary, but not by much. I have a full price sheet you can look at if you'd like."

Cassie turned around and bent down over her briefcase, unlatching it she opened it up and started to rifle through it.

"Ah yes, here it is..."

She stood up fast and spun back around toward Kayla. She was holding something her hand, but it clearly wasn't the price sheet! It was some kind of spray bottle.

Aiming it right in Kayla's face, Cassie sprayed her with some kind of sweet smelling fume causing Kayla's vision to instantly turn blurry. The whole world felt like it was spinning faster and faster as Kayla started to feel weaker and weaker. The last thing she remembered before collapsing on the ground was Cassie standing over her, hands planted on her hips and a devious smile on her face.

"Night, night," she said as Kayla's vision completely faded and everything went dark.

.   .   .   .   .

"Mmmmmm."

Kayla was slowly starting to regain consciousness, as her eyes fluttered open. At first, she couldn't make anything out other than bright light and some shapes, but slowly and surely her vision returned to her. Sitting at the kitchen table was Cassie, her booted feet propped up on Kayla's table as she scrolled on her phone. When she noticed Kayla beginning to stir she set her phone down and sat up.

"There we are," she said with a big smile on her face, "look who decided to finally wake up!"

Kayla had in fact fully come to, and she had awoken to find herself in a rather uncomfortable position. Cassie had lifted her up onto the kitchen island and hogtied her there. Her arms were pulled so far back toward her sock clad feet, that her back was arching and her chest lifted up off the counter slightly. Kayla flexed her wrist in the soft, silky material that was currently wrapped around them.

Tights.

Of course, Cassie had used her state of the art tights to tie Kayla up. She really hadn't been kidding. The tights were no joke, and even though Kayla tried to flex her way free, they had been pulled so taught that she wasn't going to just wriggle her way free. Honestly, it was just as good of a tying material as rope or duct tape. Any kind of rope-like material in the right hands could be used to subdue someone, and clearly this wasn't Cassie's first time doing this.

"So...was it all just a scam? Are you really selling tights, or is that just your cover story."

"I mean, those are very high quality tights. And the best thing is they're on the house! You're more than welcome to keep any of the ones I used on you! Consider it a little gift from me to you."

Kayla rolled her eyes.

"Gee, thanks."

Cassie smiled.

"So what now," Kayla asked, "are you just going to sit there and watch me? Why'd you come here?"

"Just for fun."

"Just for fun?"

"Yeah, a girl like me has got it rough out there. The goons for hire business is all a bunch of lunks. Here I was, bright eyed and full of ambition, ready to offer my rope skills to anyone who needed them. Sadly, I'm not the type of 'thug' folks are looking for. I've been laughed at, mocked, told to give up, hell, I've even had some folks leave me tied up and gagged a couple times! So, here we are, I'm merely resigned to house calls like this where I can work on my skills until maybe one day they're recognized..."

Kayla sat there for a second, stunned by Cassie's lengthy monologue. It was so out of the ordinary, but Kayla had come to expect out of the ordinary events by this point.

"So...you really are here just for fun?"

"Didn't you listen to anything I just said?"

"You don't even plan to rob me or anything?"

Cassie looked around for a bit, "I don't know...I might snag a few things if they catch my eye."

"Well can you just hurry it up please."

"My, you're no fun. Alright, if you insist, I'll be on my way then."

Standing up, Cassie walked past Kayla, not before giving her a playful tap on the rear of course. She was gone for a minute, but returned promptly, humming as she did so.

"Where did you go?"

"Wouldn't you like to know? Don't worry...you'll see."

Kayla didn't like the sound of that...

"Now," said Cassie, "are we going to be a good sport and play along?"

"Play along? What are you talking about?"

"Let me put it this way...open wide."

"Open wide what are yoummmmmph!"

It was clear to Kayla now what Cassie was talking about, and what she had been away doing. Kayla should have seen this coming really, but unfortunately she hadn't though that it was even remotely necessary. Perhaps she'd need to adjust her expectations...

"Mmmmmmmmmph!"

Cassie worked in one of Kayla's long crew socks into her open mouth, but as she packed it in Kayla could feel her pushing it into her mouth in such a way so as to make room for another one!

"Nmmmmmph gggnnmmph!"

"My, you have such a big mouth! Such a fun template to work with."

"Fffffmmmmmph!"

After Cassie worked the first sock all the way in, she picked up another and started packing it in as well. Both of the socks fit snuggly into Kayla's mouth, with one sort of pushed in to each cheek. Kayla's toes curled inside her long socks, and she clenched her fists while Cassie stuffed both of the socks in her mouth. She was getting more and more used to this whole process, but it was never easy...

"Nnnnmmmmmmmph!"

"Look at you! You know, most of the folks I work with couldn't manage such a gag, but you...wow, you're really talented!"

"Fffmmmph!"

"Right, yes, thanks for reminding me. Don't want those socks to slip out now do we!"

"Hmmmmmmmmph!"

Taking what Kayla could only guess was a pair of Cassie's extra strength tights, her gag was topped as the tights were wound around her head and between her lips at least a few times.

"And ta-da! Wow, you should see yourself. You're such a cutie!"

"Gggnnnmph mmmmmph ffffmmmmph!"

Kayla was more than irritated with Cassie. It was so obnoxious having to listen to this bubbly girl talk her head off while Kayla was hogtied and gagged with no way to stop her. She literally just had to sit there and endure it.

"Well, you know, I have had lots of fun, but all good things must come to an end, yes? I'm afraid I must be off now."

"Fmmmmph?! Wrrrmmmmph! Ggggggnnnmph!"

"Don't worry, you'll find a way out of there. I tied those knots tight, but they're not impossible to get out of! I'd say...probably a few hours worth of work and you'll be good to go!"

"Mmmmmmmmmph!"

"Oh, and you're welcome for the tights again. Please, feel free to help yourself! They're super high quality, but I don't have to tell you that. I'm sure you're able to tell."

"Gggnnnnmmmph!"

"Well, it really has been loads of fun, but I’m afraid I must be off. I have another house call to make.”

”Wrrrmmmph?”

”Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be just as gracious of a host as you were. Toodles!”

"Ffmmmmph mmmmmmph mmmmmmmmmmmph!"

But just like that, Cassie skipped away shutting the door behind her. As uncomfortable as Kayla was, hogtied on the counter and chewing on a pair of socks, she felt bad for whoever else it was that was going to end up like this too. She assumed that’s what Cassie had meant by another house call, but obviously Kayla was in no place to try and stop things before it was too late. 

.   .   .   .   .

*tap tap tap*

Cassie stood outside the door waiting patiently for her target to answer. By now, she had done enough of these that there really wasn’t anything to stress about. Still, she always got a few butterflies in her stomach each time after she knocked. 

Hearing the lock be undone, Cassie straightened her posture and readied herself. As the door swung open, she was greeted by a gorgeous blonde haired girl wearing a red polo shirt dress over a pair of sheer tights with black polka dots.

Cassie stood there for a second, stunned by the girls beauty before snapping back to reality and remembering why she was there. 

“Hello,” she said in her most cheerful voice, “my name is Cassie and I wanted to know if you’d be interested in purchasing some ultra durable tights today!”

”Oh, yes, I’d be really interested in that! I mean, as you can see, I am a big fan of tights after all. You said these are super durable though?”

”They sure are! I can walk you through all the science of them if you’d like!”

”That sounds great! Would you like to come inside?”

Bingo.

“Yes, I would love to come inside.”

”Perfect! Come on in!”

And those were the last words Madelyn remembered saying before strangely passing out. When she finally came to, she found herself laying down on her kitchen table, arms pulled behind her back and tied together at her wrists. They were joined to her nylon clad ankles as well. In front of her, sat the girl she had let in…Cassie? She wasn’t quite sure anymore, but Cassie seemed right. Apparently, she was no tights saleswoman after all! 

“Welcome back! Did you have a good little nap?”

”What…what the hell!? Why’d you do this!?”

Cassie shrugged, “just for fun really. It’s kind of a neat little hobby of mine.”

”Like hell it is! Untie me right now!”

”Aw, sweetie, that’s not how this works.”

”Let me out right now I swear to god!”

”Okay, looks like someone needs a little help quieting down. I’ll be right back.”

Madelyn continued shouting expletives at Cassie as she disappeared for a moment only to return with something in her hands. It was a pair of socks from Madelyn’s drawer. She only hoped they were at least clean. 

“Don’t you dare! If you think I’m just going to sit here and let yommmmmmmph!”

Cassie chuckled as she jammed the first sock into Madelyn’s mouth. It was one of her longer crew socks she wore with boots, and the first one alone was enough to fill her mouth. But of course Cassie didn’t stop with just one. Working the first sock in as far as it would go, she pushed it to the side a bit to make room for the second one. 

Madelyn’s gag reflex was triggered as she coughed and wretched into the socks now filling her mouth to the brim. 

“Gggggnnnnnmph mmmmmmmmmmph!”

”Atta girl! Just like that!”

”Hnnnnnnngph!”

To top it all off, Cassie wrapped a pair of tights around Madelyn’s head and pulled it tight pressing the socks even deeper into her mouth. Madelyn closed her eyes and concentrated on her breathing. She’d be okay as long as she sat there quietly. 

“Wow, and here I thought you wouldn’t be this submissive! You’re really quite the catch you know that?”

”Fffffmmmmph yyymmmmph!”

”Love you too, girlie. Okay, now listen, I know we’re just having the time of our lives right now, but I really must be going. The tights are on me by the way. You can keep them and use them to your hearts content!”

”Wrrrrmmmmmph!”

”You’ve been such a gracious host, but I really must be going now. Thanks for all the fun! Toodles!”

And so just like she had done to Kayla, Cassie skipped away leaving Madelyn bound and gagged on her own table. To their dismay, it seemed like neither Kayla nor Madelyn were going to be able to enjoy their day off…
