It was Valentine’s Day and Tina and Rob’s relationship was still intact, but just barely. Rob had seemed distant lately. Ever since New Years Eve, when Tina balked at Rob’s idea of introducing some bondage into their bedroom activities, he’d been almost completely disinterested in her. At first, Tina planned to just give it time. But time didn’t seem to be helping as they hadn’t had sex during that entire stretch.

Tina didn’t exactly believe that Rob was “the one.” There were a lot of things other than the current sexual drought that were less than perfect. But after talking to her girlfriends about the situation, Tina had come to understand that Rob wasn’t really being all that unreasonable, and that Tina really should try to be more open-minded. A relationship is give-and-take, after all. And besides, jeven though Tina had never tried bondage before, the idea of her lover being able to do anything that he wanted to her body and there being nothing she could do about it….that was pretty hot.

Determined to give things with Rob one more shot, or more to the point, determined not to let her hangups be the cause of a breakup, Tina planned to surprise Rob that night when he came home from a late business meeting. Kinda weird that Rob’s office was making them work late on Valentine’s Day. Oh well….

Tina did herself up to the nines. Hair and makeup were totally on point. She was wearing a sexy, sheer, red top that left very little to the imagination. She wore matching red, lacy thong panties. Tina also pulled out a black garter belt and slack, silk pantyhose. Finally, the tour de force of the outfit was a pair of 4-inch black “fuck me” heels that she left the price tag on so she could return them on Thursday.

Tina was expecting Rob to arrive home at 7:00, so around 6:45, Tina finished off her outfit with her newly acquired bondage gear. First, she put a medium red ball gag in her mouth. It had a strap that went under her chin to hold her mouth onto the ball. The guy at the store told her it was better than a regular one. Then she locked a pair of leg irons around her ankles. They had a hobble chain about a foot long between the two cuffs. A three-foot tether chain attached the hobble chain to a pair of standard handcuffs. Nothing left but to cuff her wrists. But there was something else. Tina couldn’t quite remember what it was….

Tina heard a car pulling into the shared driveway of her house and her neighbor. Assuming it was Rob, she hurried and cuffed her hands behind her back. But Tina could see the headlights pull all the way to the back which meant it was her neighbor Eric. Tina was surprised Eric was home already on Valentines Day. Anyway, what was it she was forgetting. Oh yeah, the key. Tina looked around for the key to the cuffs.

Shit, she’d left it in the key dish on top of the refrigerator. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. Rob would be home soon enough, and then….

Tina’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She looked down at the screen and was it was Rob. Tina didn’t answer. She couldn’t speak and she could remove the gag. Rob left a voicemail. Tina played it on speaker.

“Hey Tina. Look, I know it sucks to do this on Valentine’s Day. We need to break up. I met somebody else and let’s face it, we aren’t clicking anymore. So, I’m sorry, but I’m sure this is better for both of us. Take care, Tina.”

Surprised, Tina actually felt relief. That is, until she realized she was now handcuffed, and no one was coming to let her out. Tina hopped and paced around the living room not sure what to do. She thought about calling 9-1-1. That would be too embarrassing. Tina heard some noises coming from the backyard and then she remembered Eric. He had always been a friendly and helpful neighbor. Maybe he wouldn’t mind helping her with THIS situation…

Tina speed stepped in her hobble chained, high heeled feet to the kitchen backdoor. She looked out and saw Eric unloading bags from his car into his basement. Perfect! Tina could get his attention without having to go out front. Tina opened the back door and carefully, but quickly walked over to Eric’s car, “Mmmphhhing,” softly the whole way. Just as Tina was approaching the car, Eric emerged from the basement up the walkout stairs.

“Whoa!! Tina?” Eric paused, clearly surprised at the sight of his pretty neighbor tied up and in sexy underwear in her backyard. Eric quickly recovered from his surprise. He hurried up the stairs removing his jacket and threw it around Tina. “Are you OK?” Tina was nodding gratefully. She was blushing a deep shade of pink. “Get inside.”

Tina’s eyes bulged as Eric unexpectedly picked her up over his shoulder and carried her down the stairs into the basement. Eric was MUCH stronger than Tina had realized. Eric set Tina down on a random chair in relatively empty, stone-walled basement.

 “MMphhggggg, mmphhhggggffff, mmfgggggphhfff.” Tina explained.  “Oh sure. I’ll go get it for you,” Eric explained.

And to Tina’s complete confusion, Eric went dashing up the stairs and back outside. Eric was gone for about five minutes. When he returned, he was holding Tina’s cell phone. Eric may be stronger than Tina had thought, but he wasn’t seeming too bright…

Tina shook her head to indicate that, “No, she wasn’t mmphhggffing for her phone.”

 “It’s ok. It’s ok.” Eric held Tina’s shoulders firmly to reassure her. “I know what this is. I really do.”

Tina cocked her head to the side and made a perplexed look that Eric didn’t notice in the slightest. “I saw those pictures from the magazine you left on my windshield yesterday. I didn’t know what they meant then, but now I do.”  Once again, Tina didn’t know what Eric was talking about. But unknown to Tina, and by an extreme act of random chance, some flyers for a bondage event blew out of the shopping bag Tina brought home her bondage gear in and landed on Eric’s windshield.

“I know we’ve had some low-key chemistry brewing this whole time we’ve been living next door.” Tina actually did always think Eric was cute in an approachable, non-GQ kind of way. “But I NEVER expected a hottie like you to pull off such a bold first move! Don’t worry. No way I’d let this go unrewarded!”

Tina hadn’t noticed until now that Eric was carrying a gym bag with him too. Eric opened it up and dumped a small pile of leather belts of various sized on the floor next to a large scrap of excess carpet. Tina tried to protest through her gag as Eric helped her down onto her knees, but nothing close to understandable made it past her rubber filled mouth. Damn that salesman for his excellent product recommendation!

Eric used several of the leather straps to pin Tinas ankles up against her thighs so that she was forced to kneel. Then Eric secured another strap around Tinas tiny waist. Next Eric used a longer strap to make several turns around Tina’s arms, both above and below her breasts. Finally, Eric used a smaller strap to wrap twice around Tinas wrists. Eric pulled all of the straps nice and tight before buckling them.

This all happened so fast and was so surprising that Tina didn’t have a chance to process what was going on, much less do anything to slow or stop it. Just as Tina was regaining a little composure, she felt Eric removing the cuffs on her ankles. Next, he removed the cuffs on her wrists. Tina was now only bound by Eric’s leather straps. In Tina’s head she shouted, “What the hell are you doing with a handcuff key?” but all that came out was more, “MMphhgff Mffff MMMpHphphdddinggg!”

 Eric was smiling like a kid on Christmas morning. “Alright, one more strap. Hold really still for me Tina.” Tina froze like a statue. Eric looped the last strap onto the front of the one around Tina’s waist. Then he slid the belt down between Tina’s bent legs. He pulled it firmly up against Tina’s womanhood and wrapped it around the wrist strap. Eric then returned the strap back the way it came back through Tina’s legs and buckled it where it started on the front of the waist strap. Tina tugged on her wrists and found the resulting pressure on her crotch to be, well, fascinating.  

“OK Tina. You kneel down right there. I need to go run a few more errands and grab a few more things to make those pictures you left for me totally come true. See you soon pet!”

Tina’s brain formulated two thoughts at the exact same time. First, “Did he just say I was his pet?” and second, “What the fuck was in those flyers????”
