Kat’s phone vibrated suddenly and unexpectedly on her computer desk where she sat, making her almost drop her cherry flavoured ice cream shake all over her keyboard in shock. After grabbing the oversized cup with both hands before it escaped her grasp completely, she cursed under her breath and looked down at her phone. It was her boyfriend, Ryan.

With one hand, Kat picked up her phone, slid it open to take the call and immediately closed it again to cancel the connection. Kat glanced over to her pink and black lacy bed to her left and tossed her phone on to it before turning her attention back to the monitor. The phone rang again with a light hum, its vibrations lost to the impossible softness of the bed rendering it virtually silent over the hum of the modem at Kat’s bare, pink toenail polished feet. With her eyes completely focused on the monitor, Kat brought her shake to her lips, missing with the straw that prodded at her philtrum and cheeks until she opened her mouth wide enough to clamp her lips around it and begin sucking.

It was 3pm in the afternoon and Kat had been sitting at her PC for eight straight hours. She had woken up close enough to 7am, sloughed out of bed, pulled her pink and black frilly laced covers back up to the pillows, sat at her computer desk and turned on the PC’s power, she hadn’t bothered to open her curtains to the light of the new dawn, being, as she was, under the impression that the darkness would make her paler. During the updates, loading and login screens, Kat made a quick pass at her long dyed-black locks with her branded and glittering hairbrush while clicking the browser and typing the web address with one hand. She hadn’t needed to type in the first address, only the first two letters. The website in question, TheTotallyRoxorzVamp.com, was her most visited site, with a press of the down arrow key and the enter key the site loaded… and for the next eight hours, Kat had been unable to take her eyes from the countdown that the website had presented her with.

TheTotallyRoxorzVamp.com was the official website for the solo artist of the same name. Her unique blend of trance-hop-electro-rock-dub-pop had become an overnight phenomenon, and her debut album had broken numerous records in record breaking time. Like her best friend Kirsten, the nineteen year old, Kat was The Totally Roxorz Vamp’s biggest fan and today was the day she had been waiting all week for, the day she would be the first to learn the title of and see the photo-shoot and artwork for The Totally Roxorz Vamp’s new album. The album had been suspended numerous times due to the starlet’s constant touring and her fight with exhaustion that had put her in the hospital on a handful of occasions. It had been four years since her debut album and four months since the new album had been announced; and now it was almost time for Kat to embrace the moment she had been waiting all her life for.

Less than a minute remained on the countdown… for a moment, Kat’s mind fell into introspection as she recalled the excitement she had felt when the countdown had gone live last Sunday, and now, in less than thirty seconds the wait would be over and she would know the answers to all of her life’s most important questions.

The stylised, musical silver and pink countdown ended, fading to black on 00.00.00.00. Kat’s room was silent, an eternal moment hung over the passing seconds as the screen loaded…

Stuffed Portrait Media presents:

The Totally Roxorz Vamp:

Neon Love Bondage

Kat furrowed her plucked eyebrows; she didn’t know what bondage was. The word did indeed sound familiar to her but she couldn’t place how or why… Shrugging off her confusion she surrendered her attention to the monitor, the screen faded again.

An echoing choir behind electro-dub-hop and distorted synths faded in and erupted in maelstrom of high pitched and squealing yet trudging instruments with the first of a series of images to flash up on screen.

Kat’s eyes widened, not fully understanding what she was seeing…


The montage of images played out to Kat, who sat watching with wide and elated eyes at the sight of her idol. Each image was full of colour showing The Roxorz Vamp in numerous provocative, yet concealing poses. Her body was loosely wrapped with differing shades of thick glowing neon wires which often opted to snake over the naked assets of her body rather than binding her limbs as the album’s title had implied… Still, Kat continued to stare at the screen, her smile widening with each new song preview and image as they faded in and out together. The montage ended and a collection of images, all of The Roxroz Vamp, stood side by side on a full screen frame, each in a unique pose, each in a unique assortment of loosely hanging thick neon wires from their extremities. Kat licked her lips, her eyes spoiled for choice for where to look and stare.

A series of dates flashed up on screen, one for the release of the promotional music video entitled ‘Without Fault’, one for the album and one for the starlet’s tour. The website wasn’t live for navigation yet but it didn’t matter to Kat, she had all the information she needed, she could wait another week for the music video and one more month for the album… in the meantime, she would check out the obscure fashion known as bondage online…

Kat opened and new tab typed in the web address for her search engine of choice. There was a humming… Kat looked down at the modem and touched the side of it with her hand feeling its heat, fearing that it was close to overheating. It wasn’t the modem… she stared at the modem; the hum was further away from her… Kat suddenly remembered hanging up on her boyfriend Ryan a few moments ago as the countdown had been about to end. Kat leapt to her feet and scrambled over to the bed where she searched for her phone with frantic fingers, pulling the pink and black laced sheets back and forth. It was surely Kirsten calling to have a squee about The Totally Roxorz Vamp’s totally roxoring photo-shoot, she’d ask Kirsten about the bondage fashion; maybe she knew about it, she knew a lot about fashion.

Kat found her phone, slid it open without looking at the caller information and held it to her ear.

“Hello! Did you see it?!” She welcomed and asked with barely contained glee.

“Umm, see what?” her boyfriend replied.

Kat’s muscles tensed, her eyes closed and she bit her lip all as if she had just stubbed her toe on the corner of something blunt and sturdy.

“You hung up on me before?”

“No, no I picked up my phone and when I went to take the call I dropped it behind the desk of my computer and I couldn’t reach it until now. I had to pull my desk out to get it back.”

“Okay…”

A silence followed, Kat bit her lip harder, he knew she was lying; she needed to change the subject, fast!

“Umm, hey Ryan do you know anything about bondage?”

Ryan was quiet for a while longer but this time Kat could hear him breathing.

“Sure, why?” he eventually replied.

“I’m thinking I want to try it, it looks good.”

“Well I was calling to see if you wanted to come over today, I’m not doing anything and if you want to find out about something like that, it’d give us something to do, should be fun.”

Kat smiled to herself, she couldn’t sing or dance like The Totally Roxorz Vamp could but she could wear her fashion and in that small way she could be just like her idol… perhaps she could even afford tickets for a gig and go wearing a selection of neon wires that covered her own femininity, perhaps The Roxorz Vamp would see her in the crowd and blow her a kiss, and drag her up onto the stage mid-gig and invite her backstage for an autograph and a hug and her sweat soaked clothes…

“So… you’re coming over then?”

“Huh!? Oh, yeah! Give me an hour.”

Kat wondered why Ryan would have neon wires but perhaps the bondage fashion was one of those unisex things… Ryan did also have a sister; perhaps they could just use hers. Finally she was going to feel closer to the woman who had given her life so much meaning.

“I love you.” Said Ryan, before falling silent, awaiting a reply.

“Hmmm? Yeah!... I love you too.”

Kat hung up the phone and placed it on top of her computer desk with a shaking hand. Her excitement was too much… She closed her eyes as tightly as she could and imagined how stylish she was going to look in those glowing wires. Kat crossed her wrists in front of her, as one of The Roxorz Vamp’s photos had shown her, and twisted her hips while humming a quick tune… and for a moment she was on stage, wearing the latest popular fashion alongside the woman whom she owed so much.

It didn’t take long for Kat to finish her cherry flavoured ice cream shake, rush to the bathroom, strip and brush her teeth with tangy strawberry (pronounced ‘blood’) flavoured tooth paste, wash with her favourite bar of branded soap; the one which left small flakes of glitter on her body, and spray her hair with a spray on conditioner instead of washing it. Bounding back to her room, Kat pulled out her favourite shirt, a pristinely folded cropped top with Edward’s face on the front from the third movie, her personal favourite. Hiking up a pair of shorter than short denim shorts with vampire fangs on the back, Kat then hunted out the closest pair of strappy stilettos she could find before making another pass at her hair with her favourite brush. Picking up her keys, Kat called out to her mom that she was leaving for Ryan’s as she slammed the front door of the house in excitement behind her.

During the thirty minute walk (which took her twenty) to Ryan’s home; Kat thought about The Totally Roxorz Vamp’s photo-shoot, the images had been unlike anything Kat had ever seen; the thick and loose neon wires that had hung from her limbs had stylishly pulled The Roxorz Vamp into a series of wonderfully unique poses; such as the one where The Roxroz Vamp’s hands had been pressed against her naked breasts under the glowing blue wires, or the one where her arms had been pulled down gently to her sides by the glowing green wires, making it so The Roxorz Vamp could only bend her arms at her elbows. In that image The Roxorz Vamp had held a mic in her hand and her body had bent to its left with her left arm raised at her elbow bring the mic closer to her lips. It had been a wonderful image but Kat’s favourite had been the last image to be shown, it was as if The Roxorz Vamp had kept the best for last and Kat couldn’t wait to try it out with Ryan…

Kat knocked on Ryan’s front door, the door was always unlocked and Kat was always welcome but she still didn’t like just walking into the house. Ryan answered the door almost immediately, as if he had been waiting close by it since he had called her. There was something different about Ryan, it was his smile, it was a pure, complete and excited smile; a smile that welcomed her and strangely seemed to thank her. Staring at her for a few seconds, which felt like an hour to Kat in her impatience, Ryan finally opened the door wide enough for her to enter the house.

“Would you... uhh like anything, have you eaten?”

Ryan’s words were rushed and nervous, Kat hadn’t known him to ever be like that; she mentally shrugged off her observation.

“I’d like to go upstairs…” she replied with a teasing smile, while raising her finger to her lower lip…

Ryan smiled wider with his lips and his eyes before escorting Kat to his room…

Ryan lived alone and was one of the darker men that Kat had dated; 20 years old and in a rock band with his older brother. Ryan played lead guitar which ensured his fingers were nimble if not a little rough. Ryan knew a lot of bands and artists that Kat had never heard of, as did she to him, but, their music tastes aside, (neither one greatly appreciating the others’ taste); Ryan and Kat were a generic everyday young and loving couple. They had met at university last year and had gotten together during the summer break, they still didn’t know much about each other but it didn’t matter, they had very little in common aside from finding the other attractive, and for now, this was all that they needed and all that they cared about.

Kat sat on the edge of Ryan’s low standing, king-sized bed and watched him rummage through the top drawer of a cabinet at the far end of the room. The clinking of metal and a series of dull thuds filled the room as Ryan continued to rummage, Kat thought it odd that thick glowing wires would make those kinds of sounds… maybe he just has a lot of clutter in his drawer, she thought to herself. Eventually Ryan pulled the drawer out and away from the cabinet and placed the drawer on the floor at Kat’s feet. Kat peered into the drawer from the bed seeing, chains, nylon rope, silk scarves, leather straps, padlocks and something she recognised… though Ryan’s version of it looked a little different, in that, it wasn’t as good when compared to The totally Roxorz Vamp’s version of it…

“What’s all that?” she asked, sounding a little unimpressed.

“It’s the bondage stuff you asked about over the phone…”

“Oh… but shouldn’t it be, like, glowing..?”

“What..?”

“Y’know, like glow in the dark…”

“Oh! Well, some of it can but I don’t have any of that, it isn’t very common and it can be expensive if you do find it…”

Kat’s heart sunk a little, the words ‘rare’ and ‘expensive’ were never good when applied to something that she wanted, especially something as important as this… if she were to go to a gig now how would she be able to show The Roxorz Vamp that she was her biggest fan..?

A quick spark flashed in Kat’s mind, she smiled. Maybe when The Roxorz Vamps’ site went live, there would be an e-shop with merchandise and perhaps she could get some there… and if not the internet was her friend, she could easily search the web for something like that, probably get it quite cheap too… until then though she’d have to practice applying it to her body and limbs.

“This stuff is all just as good though…” continued Ryan while digging into the drawer and pulling out a long length of blue rope, which broke Kat’s concentration somewhat.

Kat looked at the rope, it was a little thinner than the wires in The Roxorz Vamp’s photo-shoot, but it was still blue which was something, and Kat knew now that she’d need to learn how to use it before she got the real stuff. Kat envisioned herself wearing the long glowing blue neon wire and half smiled to herself as she sat, still staring at the rope in Ryan’s hand.

“Did you have a position in mind?” asked Ryan, with a layered confusion in his voice, his mind still processing Kat’s earlier questions wondering what she had seen to inspire her… and if it had been any good.

Kat tilted her head, still half smiling and held out her arms, crossing them at the wrists, just like how her idol had shown her…

Ryan knelt in front of his girlfriend’s wilfully submitting arms and felt the heat rise in his face as he began coiling the blue nylon rope around her slender and pale wrists. Ryan hadn’t tied many people up, in fact, Kat was his second and this occasion probably made the tying count up to five. His first had been a cyber-punk goth girl, a friend of his brother’s girlfriend at the time. She had been a hellion, tall, lanky and a glutton for pain. She had craved being bound and punished for varyingly surreal and fantastical reasons. She had made Ryan quite uncomfortable, after all Ryan was the type to kiss and hug a helpless young woman, not cut her open… or cause her any harm at all for that matter. He just found bound and willingly submissive women…cute.

Ryan made the final pass with the rope over Kat’s wrists and pulled the knot, not so tight that it’d be uncomfortable, but enough so that she’d need help releasing herself. As soon as the knot had been pulled to perfection, Kat raised her wrists in front of her face and inspected the rope; it wasn’t like how she had imagined… pursing her lips, Kat struggled gently against the rope and furrowed her eyebrows.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s a bit tight, could you make it looser?” she replied with contemplation in her voice.

Ryan took Kat’s hands in his, pulling them gently back down to his chest and loosened the knot. The rope became slacker, but it still wasn’t right. Kat tested the rope again by rotating her wrists, she had more room to move now but not as much as The Roxorz Vamp had had in her shoot. Never mind, Kat thought to herself, it’ll get slacker in its own time.

“Better?” ask Ryan.

Kat looked to her boyfriend and nodded; a smile on her face, wider than before.

“What next?” Ryan added

Without replying, Kat bent at her waist and stroked one of her bare legs with her bound hands until her fingers reached the buckled strap of her stiletto. Licking her lips, Kat undid the buckle and teasingly kicked it off, sending it to the far end of the room. Resting her toes on the floor, Kat repeated the same mischievous act again with her other leg and stiletto.

“I have a few ideas…” Kat replied, her eyes focusing on the odd yet familiar item of the large blue ball with the straps… it still wasn’t the same but it was better than nothing.
