Her long brunette hair had been pulled up and tied into a pony tail on top of her head. Within the darkness of a black silk blindfold, Ellen imagined she was a genie, or more precisely, the Jeannie, from the old TV series. She could hear the strains of some Middle- Eastern music playing softly in the background, and smell the incense that pervaded the room. In her fantasy, she was being held by the evil Blue Jinn, the most powerful of Genies. She imagined she was in his tent, somewhere in the middle of the desert, bound beneath the canopy of his bed, with ancient oil lamps illuminating this scene she could only envision in her mind. The role of the Blue Jinn was being played by her husband, David, who was standing nearby, admiring Ellen's seductive struggles.
"Your master, bah!" David sneered. "I will deal with your master later... but first I have more important things to tend to..." Ellen felt David's weight pressing down on the mattress, and she jumped slightly when she felt his hand tenderly touch her cheek.
"Oh, but you will," David took her pony tail and lightly brushed the ends over the silk scarf, "Even if I must keep you bound and blindfolded for the next two thousand years. And until you do, it does not matter... He gently ran his fingers down the middle of her chest. "I will still have you."
"If I give myself to you, will you spare my master's life?"
"Please... please do not do this!" Ellen spoke with the same precise diction used on the perpetually rerun show, but her delivery would've been more authentic if she'd left out 'do not'.
"Perhaps I won't have to wait two thousand years for you to love me," he teased her, but Ellen had no reply. She just continued to moan, toss her head and pull at the bonds that kept her spread-eagled on the bed. She felt David recline next to her and lightly run the ball of his foot down her calf to the rope that encircled her ankle. Ellen sensed his weight move over her, his strong hands on her hips, then cupping her buttocks as he kissed her navel.
"Ahem." Ellen admonished him.
"Silence, Jeannie!" He was the Blue Jinn again. Ellen's hips swayed rhythmically as David kissed and kneaded her breasts, his kisses moving up her neck. She felt his finger tips outline her cheeks, lips and nose, then gently glide over the silken blindfold. His hand moved up the smoothness of her arm, stopped briefly to close around her bound wrist, then intertwine his fingers with hers. David brushed his lips delicately against Ellen's and whispered, "Yes, it was worth the wait. They shared a long, deep kiss as Ellen felt him full and warm inside her. "And," he added, "this will last a long time."David stood up and looked at Ellen, still lying spread eagled on the bed. She felt him check and tighten the knots around her wrists, gratuitously pawing and nibbling his way down the length of her body to do the same with the ropes binding her ankles. He tugged at the knot on her blindfold, then knelt next to her and held her chin in his thumb and forefinger.
Ellen, who was feeling rather relaxed and spent, quickly went back into character. "Please do not harm my master!" she pleaded. "I promise I will do anything you say!" David placed his finger on her lips and coolly replied, "You will do my bidding anyway."
"Jean-nie? Are you all right?"
"Yes, it's me, Jeannie," he answered.
"Don't worry, Jeannie, the Blue Jinn is gone," he assured her, "He won't bother us anymore. In fact, right now he's on a satellite headed into deep space."
"Hmm, Jeannie, why don't you blink yourself out of those ropes?" David asked.
"Really?" He sounded genuinely intrigued. "This has some definite possibilities."
"You know, I'm not sure if I ever forgave you for that time you turned me into a rabbit. He grinned. "Maybe it s time I started acting like a real master."
"You'll find out," he chuckled wickedly.
"Well, Jeannie, you've put me in quite a few ticklish situations, so I think it's only fair. David ran the feather between her toes, sending Ellen into spasms of laughter. He let her catch her breath again before he continued to gently stroke the feather over the rest of her voluptuous form, Ellen's laughter and unheeded protests filling the room. She was tingling and her face was flushed when David finally stopped, then touched the feather to the tip of her nose. She wrinkled her nose and curiously tilted her head.
"Hold on, Jeannie," he said reassuringly, "there's more..."
"Master! This is unfair!" She shook her head and vainly grasped the air.
"I've learned my lesson, Master," she smiled impishly, obviously unrepentant, as she twisted and turned, trying to evade the cold.
"I've got some oil warmed up in the kitchen," he told her in a soft voice. "Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back."
Later, the couple was snuggling together in bed. "Did you have fun tonight?" she asked.
"Hmph. You don't sound very enthusiastic."
"Well," she smiled and ran her finger down his chest, "who do you think got me started in this whole bondage thing anyway?"
Ellen was lost in thought with her daydream, thinking about her inevitable rescue, and how she would reward her brave hero. Her reverie was suddenly broken when she heard a key turning in the lock. She quickly brought her wrists behind her back and snapped the other cuff closed, completing her bondage. No sooner had she done this than she considered the possibility that it might not be her husband arriving home. She knew it had to be, but the possibility it might not be was a little scary and exciting.
"Natasha?" he called, "are you in here?"
David stepped into the doorway of the study, stopped and smiled, obviously quite pleased with the way Ellen had prepared herself.
"Mmmmmnrrmn! Mnnrff!" Ellen frantically nodded her head toward the alarm clock, which now read 5:59. Her long, brown hair became disheveled from the attempted warning.
"Mmnnmf! Mmnrm mmrmmnf!" Ellen insisted as she tossed her head and looked wide-eyed at the clock.
Ellen breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then looked up plaintively at David.
"You know, Natasha, I've a good mind to leave you like that," he taunted, "just to teach you a lesson."
David walked around behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders, and Ellen leaned her head back against his stomach, her restrained hands touching his thighs.
"Hmnh?" She opened her eyes and looked at David when he unexpectedly withdrew his hand.
He held her under her arms as she raised her cuffed hands over the back of the chair, then he drew her into a close embrace. As she felt his strong arms around her, Ellen felt contented, secure and protected. Even though her mouth was covered with tape, David knew she was smiling. He could see it in her eyes.
"Well, you always seem to enjoy them."
"So... what's the problem?"
"What have you got to feel guilty about? We're married, we can do stuff like this ya' know?" Ellen tickled his ribs.
"David, you're really being ridiculous now." She straddled his waist and grabbed his shoulders, her dark eyes fixed on his. "You know I'm not in any real distress. I'd give you the signal if I were. And you must know I love and trust you or we couldn't play these games. So where's the distress? It's just a little fantasy - enjoy it!"
She let her hair fall into his face and flashed a wicked smile. "Guilty pleasures are always the best."
It was Friday afternoon, and Ellen was walking out of her office building toward her car when, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a dark four-door sedan was slowly following her. Since she was an attractive woman, she was used to getting wolf-whistles and rude comments shouted at her from passing cars when she walked down the street (especially on days like this one) when she was wearing high heels and a short dress. But this strange car was hard to ignore, and it made her nervous. The car pulled alongside her and the window on the passenger side rolled down as a voice called out.
Ellen stopped and turned when she realized it was David's voice she was hearing. She looked in the car, but she could hardly recognize him in a dark overcoat and a Fedora pulled down over his eyes. He held up his hand in the pocket of the coat and repeated his command.
"I'll bet I could guess," she said with an amused smile. She climbed into the car, willing to play along. "What is this anyway?"
"Why are you holding me up?" she asked innocently. Ellen could feel her pulse quicken as David sped down the street. And she felt that urge to giggle again.
Ellen was impressed that he'd come up with this little story, and almost equally impressed he could say all that without laughing. David turned the car into a nearby alley, shut off the engine and grabbed Ellen by the wrist.
"Yes sir," she responded, trying to keep a straight face.
"All right, sweet cakes, lie down on your stomach... I've got to tie you up."
"Let's just say I don't believe you," he smirked. "Now lie down and put your hands behind your back."
David pulled a length of cotton rope from the pocket of his over coat and began looping the cords around her wrists.
David smiled at this. He knew exactly how tight Ellen liked the ropes, and he carefully pulled them to just the right tension. "I love it when they beg," he chuckled. He took Ellen by the shoulders and helped her turn over on her back, then he placed his hands on her knees and pushed her dress up further as he stroked her thighs.
"Listen, it's not too late." Ellen tried to sound desperate. "You could let me go. I promise I won't tell anyone."
He turned Ellen on her stomach again and brought her ankles up toward her wrists as he completed the hogtie, then gave her a friendly pat on the backside. She twisted to her side as David pulled a long, white cloth with a knot in the middle from his pocket and held it in both hands. He brought it toward Ellen's mouth and she shook her head.
"Sorry, sweetheart," he said smugly as he pushed the thick knot between her lips, "this time we're going to do it my way." He knotted the ends under her hair, gave her a wink and adjusted the gag so it looked just right.
He snapped the middle set of seat belts around Ellen's waist and arms, affectionately caressing her as he pulled them snug.
Ellen gave him a knowing smile beneath the gag, trying to tell him with her eyes that she'd just discovered his secret. She wiggled around, testing her bonds and trying to make herself a bit more comfortable. She felt happy and relieved that she'd finally figured out what was really on David's mind. Now it would be fun to relax and let him take his turn at the creative helm. David climbed behind the steering wheel and looked over his shoulder at his cooperative bundle in the back seat.
