“Hey Olivia, are you going to Cuffed tonight?”

The 19 year old looked up from her laptop at Chloe who lived down the hall from her. “Yeah! We’re still meeting up at 7 right?”

“Yeah! Rin said she went out earlier to buy cuffs so I guess that’s covered. Wonder which adult shop she went to.”

Olivia grinned at the thought. “I’m sure the shop knows with the sudden surge in handcuff purchases. But three might raise some eyebrows.”

Chloe giggled. “She'll make up some excuse for it. I’ll catch you later.”

The blonde Asian girl disappeared around the corner. Cuffed was a party thrown at one of the local clubs where people were invited to wear handcuffs representing their cuffing status. One cuff open meant you were looking for someone. Both cuffs closed meant you were taken or not interested in looking. Most people attached both ends of the handcuffs to the same wrist, but some of the adventurous ones cuffed their wrists together or cuffed themself to their significant other.

Olivia had originally thought it was an excuse for kinky people to be public about it, but after the last Cuffed event months ago it became all the rage and now she couldn’t miss out on it. The thought of tonight kept her brain occupied for the next hour, making her slower than usual at her homework but she finally finished and packed up her things, heading back to her room to prepare for going out.

Olivia was giddy as she stripped out of her clothes. Her midterm schedule meant that she hadn’t been able to go clubbing in weeks, so she was looking forward to dressing up to go out with the girls. She started with a black tube top that left her midriff exposed. A long-sleeved black mesh crop top went on top and a short black miniskirt soon followed. She completed the outfit with a pair of high heeled black leather knee boots. The stiletto heels gave her a feeling of power when she walked, although they could be hell when she got drunk. Rin nicknamed the boots Olivia’s “fuck me boots” after a night of clubbing where she had been endlessly complimented on them and had several guys approach her. Satisfied with her outfit, she sat down and did her makeup before admiring herself in the mirror. “Hello sexy.” She giggled to herself.

Grabbing her purse and phone, she left her bedroom to see if her roommate was ready. Rin was standing in the main room, dressed for a night of provocative clubbing. She wore black leather thigh high boots, black shorts and a dark blue halter top. The Japanese girl was twirling a pair of handcuffs around her finger and turned as Olivia entered the room. “Love the outfit.” She said with a smile before grabbing another pair of handcuffs off of the couch and tossing them in her direction. “Here’s your pair. You can thank me later.”

Olivia caught them and was surprised at how heavy they were. “And the key?”

“Oh right.” Rin looked as though she had forgotten before going back to her room and coming back with it. “Here you are.”

Olivia took the key and tested it, making sure her cuffs locked and would unlock before she put them on herself. Satisfied, she inserted her wrist into the open metal cuff and closed it, enjoying the clicking sound it made as it ratcheted shut. A ratcheting sound behind her told her that Rin had also attached her cuffs to her wrist and the girls posed in the mirror to take a picture. Ready to be cuffed. She captioned it before posting it on Instagram. “Chloe’s outside.” Rin said. “Let’s get going before the line to get in gets too long.”

“Are you going to buy drinks there?”

“Yeah.” Rin shrugged. “Can’t take anything in and I didn’t get back in time to pre properly. Let’s go.”

They took the elevator down to the ground floor and found Chloe waiting for them in the lobby. “Hey girls.” She waved as Rin and Olivia walked up to her, already showing signs of having drank.

Chloe was a vision of black in platform Doc Martens, fishnet stockings, black leather miniskirt, crop top and leather jacket on top. One handcuff was ratcheted around her wrist while the other hung loose, indicating her single status. “Maybe by the end of tonight we’ll find someone to make you forget about Luke.” Rin said

Chloe shrugged, tossing her hair a bit. “I wouldn’t count on it. But let’s enjoy it.”

The three girls headed off down the street with several other partygoers intending to enjoy the night.

An hour or so later, Olivia was wandering through the club on her own with a drink in hand. Rin had left to go to the bathroom and Chloe had been talking to a guy so Olivia excused herself and left them alone. As she skirted around the edge of the dance floor, she kept her eyes out for any potential boys. The club was quite full of partying college students, most with drinks in hand and handcuffs attached to them. Olivia saw several couples attached together dancing, others were making out in the crowd or against the wall. There were some pretty heated sessions going on. She took her phone out and texted Rin, wondering where that girl was when when one boy caught her eye. Tall, handsome, seemed a couple years older than her and to her surprise, their eyes locked across the room. Excusing himself from the guys he was with, he made his way towards her through the crowd. She took a deep breath before he walked up to her, in dark clothes that framed his body well. He was quite muscular, she thought before realizing that he had said something to her. “Hi there.” She responded, hoping that he had simply greeted her and she didn’t start off their interaction by paying zero attention to what came out of his mouth.

Thankfully her guess had been correct. “I’m Dan.” He said with a smile, showing perfect teeth. “May I ask your name?”

“Oh a gentleman.” She said, matching her smile. “I’m Olivia thanks for asking. No cuffs today?”

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pair. “Had to get into this place somehow, but then they got annoying. Don’t worry, it was just one cuff.”

Olivia stumbled slightly as someone was shoved into her and Dan reached out to pull her away from the offending drunk. “Think you’d let a guy like me show a cute girl like you a good time?”

Olivia smiled and let one hand trace its way down his chest to his crotch. “I think I will be the one showing you a great time.” She said seductively. “Why don’t we find someplace quieter and find out.”

Grinning, he took her hand and led her towards the back near the washrooms. Instead of going further down the hallway however, he branched off into another dark hall where the noise was considerably less and no one else walked by. “You were saying something about what you’d do to me?”

Olivia traced a hand up his chest. “Oh there are many things I’d love to do to you.”

Her hand went back down to his crotch and she teasingly traced a circle around the bulge that was now evident in his jeans. “You naughty girl.” He said as he grabbed her wrist. “I guess I have to cuff your hands to keep you from doing that to me.”

Olivia gave a flirtatious wink as she drew the handcuff key out of her purse and held it up. “You want it?”

In her slightly drunken state, she didn’t think much about the consequences of handing her key to freedom to a stranger but she moved it around, making him grab for it. Dan grinned before he finally grabbed it and pocketed it. Spinning her around, he guided her hands behind her. Olivia felt her breath hitch as the second cuff snapped closed around her left wrist and was tightened until she could feel the metal bite slightly into her skin. “Oof that’s tight.” She hissed.

Dan dropped a kiss on her lips, halting all complaints. “It’s just secure. Test it.”

Olivia strained against the cuffs but they were securely locked behind her. “Wow. I didn’t realize these were so secure. My roommate bought them for me.”

He kissed her again and for a moment, Olivia forgot everything around her as she lost herself in his lips. Her tipsiness seemed to amplify his mouth before he broke it off. “They’re real that’s for sure. Now I have another surprise, close your eyes and open your mouth.”

She smiled, despite the twinge of uncertainty now that her hands were bound and did as she was told. She was completely unprepared for a sponge being shoved into her mouth and she immediately recoiled and gagged. “Hllllmph!” She screamed, horrified at how quiet her scream was.

She flailed around, swinging her arms and trying to run back down the hallway but Dan got an arm around her waist and yanked her back into his arms. As she was forced against the wall, Olivia looked at the man who had been so sexy a moment ago with wide, frightened eyes. “This’ll keep you quiet.” Dan’s grin now seemed evil as he brought up a strip of clear packing tape and plastered it across her mouth.

With her lips now glued together, Olivia could no longer spit the sponge out of her mouth. Preoccupied with trying to work her jaw to get the tape off, she barely noticed Dan lifting up her skirt and wrapping clear tape around her thighs before letting her skirt drop back down, hiding her bonds and taking a step back.

With her thighs bound, she was forced to stumble in short steps to walk making her seem like she had downed too many drinks. Her blood ran cold when she realized what that meant. He was going to kidnap her in plain sight of the whole party and no one was going to realize it. Where were Rin or Chloe when she needed them. Or anyone for that matter?

Dan put one arm around her and held her upper arm with the other and led her back into the main room. Barely anyone even took notice of her, between the music, drinks and overall theme of the evening. Those that did saw a boyfriend taking his drunk, cuffed girlfriend home after one too many beverages. Her gagged screams were barely audible to her own ears with the thumping music and her attempts to make eye contact to any other clubbers proved fruitless as she was dragged through the club. They made it to the entrance with no resistance before turning and walking around to the back of the building.

To Olivia’s horror, parked in the alley behind the club was a white van with two masked men standing near it. One of them noticed Dan dragging her over and took her other side, leading her to the back of the van. Opening the doors, her eyes went wide as a chorus of gagged wails greeted her. Inside, a half-dozen other girls were cuffed, gagged and chained to eyebolts in the walls of the van. Olivia spotted Rin amongst the captives, and felt her stomach drop seeing her roommate in such a pathetic state. Rin’s makeup was smudged from crying and duct tape surrounded her body at the chest, waist, thighs, knees and ankles. She could do nothing but let out muffled screams as she watched Olivia get lifted up and pushed inside the van to join the other captives. A chain was attached to her handcuffs, locking her in place and a roll of duct tape was produced from somewhere. Several layers were wrapped around her booted ankles and knees, then around her upper body to trap her arms against her back. The clear strip of tape was ripped off of her lips, causing her to squeal in pain but the sponge stayed in and was soon enforced with several turns of duct tape around her head.

She struggled the best she could but was helpless as the two men felt her up. “Not a bad haul so far. We almost ready to go?” Dan asked.

“Sam should be coming with one more and then we’ll be on our way. Oh look, here he comes now.”

Olivia turned with all the other captives to see a young man built like a football player frog-marching another girl towards them. As they got closer, Olivia screamed behind her gag as she realized it was Chloe. Her friend’s hands were cuffed behind her and although she couldn’t see it, Olivia assumed a strip of clear tape was sealing her lips shut. The blonde girl was screaming and struggling the whole way and the mounting frustration on Sam’s face showed it annoyed him. After another attempt to get away, he gave up and threw her over his shoulder, carrying her the rest of the way to the waiting van. “Quite a hellcat you’ve got there.” Dan said.

“Bitch won’t stop kicking me.” Sam complained. “Let’s get her packaged up.”

Chloe continued screaming and struggling, freezing with her eyes wide as she was dumped into the van and saw both Olivia and Rin cuffed and gagged. The pause in struggling was enough for the men to grab her booted ankles and wrap duct tape around them. They continued up her body, wrapping at her knees, waist and arms. Her gag was undone but she barely had time to draw in a breath before a cloth was stuffed into her mouth and more duct tape was applied. The roll was wound around her face over her hair, causing her to wince as strands were caught in the adhesive. Finally, she was rolled over and taped into a tight hogtie. She sobbed behind her gag as the men stood and exited the van, leaving all of the captives squirming and moaning inside. “Word of advice girls: don’t let a random stranger cuff you.” Sam snickered. “You might end up in the back of someone’s van taken far away. Let’s get going.”

Sam and Dan climbed into the back with the girls while the other two got into the front seats. The engine roared to life, causing frightened whimpers to emerge from the girls. Olivia struggled against the cuffs but it was futile. Without the key, there was no way she was getting out of the cuffs. Dan noticed her struggles and groped her breasts as a response. “Might as well sit back and enjoy the ride cutie, you’re not going anywhere.”

Olivia screamed in frustration as the van started moving. No one from the club noticed a van full of captive girls driving off into the night.
