As the video ended abruptly, I leaned back in my chair at a loss for words. I wasn’t sure what amazed me more: the fact that my mother and sister were both willingly tied up and gagged by my friends, or the fact that they still remained like that downstairs. I spent a few more minutes skimming through the video, still amused by the banter and teasing from all parties, before leaving my desk and making my way downstairs. Entering the living room, I was once again greeted by the sight of Ava and my mom thoroughly and helplessly bound to chairs, gagged, and blindfolded side by side. Even now, I felt my heart begin to race a bit at the situation I found myself in, but the silence couldn’t last forever.

“Well, who wants to be untied first?” Both ladies surprisingly stayed silent for a moment, looking over in each other’s direction, even though they couldn’t see a thing. Finally, my mom nodded, giving a quick mumble into her gag, and I moved behind her to begin untying her arms. After several minutes of picking at tight knots, she began untying her own legs with her free hands as I untied her blindfold and gag.

“Hmphleck-“ She swiftly spat out the stockings that had been packed into her mouth, licking her lips. "Well, Kyle, how was school?” My mom asked with a smirk, reaching down and untying the last rope that bound her ankles together.

"Oh, nothing too special.” I chuckled as she stood and stretched. “For some reason, my usual group was strangely absent.” My mom gave me a knowing look of amusement.

“You know, I think they might have stopped by here.” We then both looked over to where Ava still sat helplessly, watching her lightly squirm against her thorough bondage. “Why don’t you deal with this one.” my mom playfully decided, patting Ava’s nylon thigh. “I’m going to go shower and make dinner.” As she left and headed upstairs, I turned my gaze back to my bound sister, unable to stifle my grin at her predicament.

“Well, is this everything you hoped for?” I teasingly wondered, slowly and carefully unraveling the vet wrap from around her eyes and lips. Moments later, she spat out a pair of black tights, stretching her jaw before answering playfully,

“It was close; though I suppose this could have been tighter, I think there might be a muscle somewhere that I can move.” As she sarcastically retorted, she strained against her bonds for a moment, emphasizing her helplessness.

“They were certainly thorough. That looks almost as tight as how I found mom the first time.” I commented, earning a puzzled look from Ava.

“The first time? How many times has this happened?” She questioned with building shock. I thought for a moment, mentally counting the times that our mother had sat in this very room thoroughly trussed up,

“This is the fourth time that I know of.” I admitted it in amusement as Ava’s jaw dropped.

“FOURTH TIME?” My sister exclaimed in surprise, “What on earth have I missed?” I held in my laughter as she tried to wrap her head around the newfound circumstances.

“Let me show you. Sit tight for a minute.” I teased, earning a cheeky glare from my sister.

“I guess I could manage that.” She dryly grumbled, just before I took the tights that had gagged her and stuffed them back into her mouth.

“Hold these.” I teasingly instructed as she gave me a look that I wish I could have taken a picture of. I then quickly headed upstairs and grabbed my laptop, downloading the photos and videos from the previous events onto it before heading back down to where Ava sat, her mouth surprisingly still packed. I chuckled and knelt down next to her, placing my laptop in her bound nylon lap. I then plucked the tights from her open mouth, again surprised at how much she was playing along. She didn’t comment on the gag, instead turning her attention to the screen in front of her as I pulled up the first picture I had taken of our mom tied up, almost exactly like Ava.

“Wow! So you found her like this?” She intently looked over the picture, struggling against her own similar bonds.

"Well, it was pretty similar; this was the first time I tied her up.” I did my best to casually explain such wild situations, while Ava reacted appropriately.

“YOU tied her up like that?” She wildly questioned, with increasing amazement.

"Okay, yes, I did, but she asked me to.” Ava’s jaw immediately dropped, and I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head.

“I swear, I will gag you again in a heartbeat.” I instantly added, getting a pouting eye roll from my sister as she calmed her oncoming flurry of comments. I then switched to the most recent picture, featuring our mother bound and gagged by many neckties and scarves, partly by me, and partly by my friends.

“At least that looks more comfortable.” She commented, glancing at the clock, “So am I going to spend all night like this?” I took the hint and somewhat begrudgingly grabbed a pair of scissors, and got to work untying her. After several more minutes, Ava finally stretched in her seat, standing up on her tiptoes and giggling as she felt pins and needles. After a moment, she looked back at me, glancing down at my pocket. “I’ll take those," she said, holding her hand out for the tights that had gagged her. “Unless you’re planning on keeping them.” She teased knowingly, and I felt myself blush and chuckle as I handed them to her before she walked off to her room.

I simply stood there for a minute or two before heading to Ava’s room, knocking lightly on the door. “Come in!” I heard her call from inside, and I opened the door to find her sitting on her bed, reading. "Oh, hey, what’s up?” Ava asked brightly, setting down her book and crossing one leg over the other.

I felt a nervousness building within me as I asked the truth from her: “Ava, how did you feel about all that? Really?” I saw a mischievous but understanding smile from across her lips as she seemed to ponder her answer.

“Well, it was certainly new, unexpected. But it was fun.” I raised an eyebrow at her surprisingly positive answer,

“Really?” I couldn’t help but be in disbelief as she offered only a playful grin and a shrug. My mind immediately wandered to another possibility. “So…do you think-…would you…-“ Ava giggled and raised a hand to interrupt.

“All I’ll say is that if you’re wanting to have this happen again, you won’t exactly need to have your friends kidnap me.” I tried and likely failed to stifle my eager grin as I heard those playful words. “Although I can’t speak for Mom.” She added with a chuckle, earning a knowing laugh from me before I spoke.

“I think I might be able to.”
