Your world is dark. Is it too dark in this room? No, there's something over your eyes... you're blindfolded, with some kind of fabric. Your body is stiff, and you go to remove what's blocking your vision. Your hands go nowhere. They're bound above you, together.
You're upright, you know that because you feel as if you're dangling from your hands. Your knees are up at near chest level, but more binds keep them spread apart. Thank god you can still feel you're clothed, but you've never felt this vulnerable, for good reason. You cry for help, but the fabric you find in your mouth prevents you from making much of a sound.
You whimper softly as feeling starts to return to my appendages, and you feel the bindings cutting uncomfortably into your wrists. Carefully, you test out the restraints, hoping to find a weakness somewhere, but no such luck - they are extremely secure. Clearly whoever did this knew what he was doing... and has possibly done it a dozen times before.
Panic begins to creep into your mind, your breath coming in small little gasps. You're so caught up in your attempt to escape, your fear of what might happen to you, that you nearly don't hear the soft sound of footsteps approaching. When you do, you immediately freeze, holding your breath as your head twitches slightly toward the direction of the sound, listening for more.
The footsteps stop.
Whoever is here is quiet about it. Maybe he's been in the room the whole time. How big is the room? You can feel him watching you; you feel like nothing more than an object to this person. This continues for a bit, but you're becoming too afraid to move, to do anything but wait.
It's nearly a relief when this person again walks toward you, just to end the suspense, but your heart is pounding in your chest. A hand grabs you around your throat, under your chin, and you think this person may choke you. But your head is simply moved about... is he examining you? It must be a man, his hand is so rough, and of course only a man would do something like this to you. You resist but his strength is overwhelming, and what can you do other than try to move your head? You begin to whimper under his grip.
The hand releases your neck, and returns to you by grabbing your hair at the scalp and yanking back, holding your head there. You cry in pain into your gag, but he doesn't seem to care, or even acknowledge it. A finger from another hand lightly touches your throat, trailing downwards slowly until it hooks the button of your blouse. In one swift tug, he's ripped the blouse open from it's buttons. You feel the cool air against the exposed skin of your stomach, your breasts heaving in your bra as your breath comes in gasps.
A muffled high-pitched cry of surprise escapes you, as your shirt is torn off and you're exposed. Immediately self-conscious, you try to twist in an attempt to block your chest from view, but the firm grip in your hair keeps you still. The steady sound of breathing comes from your captor as you are once again examined like an object. Tears fill your eyes, but are absorbed into the blindfold before they can fall. You whimper, desperately wanting to communicate, to have the opportunity to ask this stranger what he wants, or beg for mercy.
The hand in your hair holds continues to hold your head in place. His other hand is softly exploring your stomach, your chest, the parts of your breasts that are exposed. His touch may be nice, if you couldn't sense the uncaring in it, the coldness.
He releases your hair, and walks a few steps away. Then you hear a new sound, a familiar sound of metal on metal. Are those... scissors?
Your question is confirmed as he comes back. He grabs the hem of your pants, and you start to shake your head no, whimpering. You feel the cold metal slide between the pants and your skin, and you feel your clothing begin to loosen. Oh, god, he's cutting off your pants. Your right leg is exposed first, followed quickly by your left, and your left in your bra, panties, and your opened shirt. Goosebumps form on your skin as you continue to cry.
The tears now begin to slip past the blindfold and slide down your cheeks. Part of you hopes that he will see them and show some compassion, but he doesn't even seem to notice. Your whimpers get louder as you attempt to plead wordlessly, but those seem to be ignored as well. You struggle as much as the restraints will allow, but it isn't much. Never have you felt so helpless, so vulnerable, so terrified in your life. Strong hands continue to roam over your body. Although the touch is about as intimate as a doctor's exam, you still tense when the hands move up your thighs and between your legs, nothing but a thin piece of lace as a barrier
You're terrified, vulnerable... you just wish this was all over. Yet when this man touches your panties, you can tell you're wet. It makes you feel even more defeated, and it scares you that it will make this man want to explore that part of you. You don't know where he is going to end his examination at, what line he might draw, if any.
You barely hear the scissors again until you notice your shirt sliding away from you. You hang your head as that bit of protection slips away. Maybe your acceptance of this will please him, will make him content in seeing you in just a bra and panties. You pray he wont expose you any further as he begins to examine your back, sliding over every inch of exposed skin.
You hold your breath, and strain to hear something, anything that would give you more information on this. All you can hear is the sound of his hands sliding over your body, and his rhythmic, soft breathing. The faint sounds are far from comforting.
You remain still and obedient as long as possible, letting him touch you everywhere, but finally the suspense causes you to snap. A sharp muffled protest escapes your mouth and you jerk your body, clearly annoyed. You want to shout "If you're going to molest me, get it over with already!" But of course nothing comes out. You violently shake your head from side to side, trying to dislodge the blindfold, and at the same time, trying to spit out the gag in your mouth. Suddenly, your strong grip is on your throat again, and you stop your struggles, instantly worried you've angered him. You pant, slightly out of breath from your little tantrum, bracing yourself as you except a slap, a shout, something...
Yet nothing comes. The hand on your neck is filled with force, strength, and control. You're all but collared by his hand, terrified to do anything further. The seconds tick by, the silence is deafening.
Then the grip tightens.
The air is constricted, but more important, so is the blood flow. You choke and your world begins to dim, beings to fade away... Yet just before blacking out, the hand releases. Your world comes back in a rush, you gasp for air as best you can. Your senses come alive.
Was that... a punishment?
