Saturday night, nothing to do, and the phone rings. Answering, I recognize the voice of a friend of mine, a photographer who loves playing jokes.
"If you can be here in exactly 20 minutes, I'll have a present for you that you'll never forget," he says.
I look at the clock. 11:40. "Another one of your pranks?" I ask.
"Nope. I feel bad about missing your birthday, and I want to make it up to you. Can you be here at midnight exactly?"
"Sure - I can do that," hoping I'm not making a mistake.
Quick shower, dressed, hop on my motorcycle and head to his house. We're close friends, and never bother knocking if we're expected, so at 12:00 exactly I walk through the door. At the same moment, he's walking up the stairs from the basement.
"Good timing," he says. "I'm going out for a while. Your birthday present is down in my studio."
I shoot him a suspicious look, and he rolls his eyes and says "Look, just trust me. Go on downstairs and see for yourself."
I hear the door shut behind him as I walk slowly down the stairs, watching for anything he might have set up. Getting to his studio in the basement, I see that I need not have worried.
I see you, hanging upside down, hands bound behind your head, completely naked except for a lacy pair of panties.
My mind starts racing. My friend is a jokester, but what's his game here? My mind is telling me that I really should release you and let you down. At the same time, my cock has sprung to attention, and has very different ideas.
Your eyes widen as I walk into your line of sight. You were obviously expecting my friend, and aren't sure why there's a tall bald man in a kilt standing over you. At the same time, I can tell that this photo shoot has gotten you into a very excited state, and that your rapid breathing isn't just from surprise.
"Well well..." I say, looking into your eyes, "it looks like my friend didn't tell YOU what to expect either". I look around his studio. I knew he did some erotic photography, but I guess I didn't expect to see the array of sex toys, bondage devices, whips, and paddles that I'm finding. "Are all these for your photo shoot?"
You nod, still looking at me, wide-eyed and silent. I don't know how long you've been hanging upside down, but you're not looking like you're having any trouble with it.
I take a walk around your body, examining your smooth skin, your gorgeous hips, ass, and breasts. He obviously hasn't used any of the whips or paddles yet. I would recognize the pink marks from a spanking.
"You do realize that you've been left here as a present for me, right?" You nod, fear and excitement mingling on your face. As you see me pick up a leather cat o' nine tails, I see the panic start to rise.
Walking around behind you, I reach out to caress your firm ass. You go completely rigid as you feel the first touch of my hand, a gasp escaping your full lips. As I touch and stroke you - your ass, hips, legs, belly - you begin to move under my touch. I hear you moan, but I know you can't see my smile, or read my thoughts.
Still stroking you with my left hand, I raise the knotted thongs of the whip in my right. I begin to trail them up and down your legs. I hear another moan, louder this time, come from you.
As I trace the leather tails all over your body, you start to squirm. You have to know what is coming next, but you don't seem afraid of it any more. Lifting the whip from your skin, I raise it up, then bring it down sharply, diagonally across your ass. Hearing your sharp intake of breath, seeing the dark pink stripes blossoming across your skin, my cock becomes completely rigid instantaneously. I wonder how long I can maintain control before I have to find release.
I see that you're not going to be able to stay upside down for too much longer without a break, but I'm nowhere near done playing yet. I see that there are hooks on the ceiling a couple of feet away from where your ankles are suspended. I kneel on the floor, my face inches from yours.
"We're going to have a lot of fun tonight, and I want to make sure you're awake for all of it," I whisper roughly, "I'm going to bring your hands around in the front. Are you going to behave for me?"
You nod hesitantly. The instant I free your hands from behind your back, however, you start to struggle, trying to get away.
The cat o' nine tails is still right there on the floor. Picking it up, I spank you sharply across both tits, leaving red stripes where the knotted leather struck the skin. Easily grabbing both of your hands in one of mine, I bind them in front of you, leaving a loop of rope between them.
"Tsk tsk" I say, mockingly. "You do know you're going to pay for that, don't you?" I wrap one arm around your back, grabbing your hair from behind to pull your head back sharply. The other hand holds the rope binding your wrists. Lifting you, I hang the rope from the hook in the ceiling, leaving you suspended at wrist and ankle.
I back up to survey the effect. I like it. Your head hanging down, back rounded, and your pussy and ass exposed and vulnerable.
"Alright then, you wanted me to leave you alone, I'll leave you alone. First though..." I pick up a blindfold from the table, and tie it securely across your eyes.
As I walk up the stairs, I hear you hesitantly asking me to come back, telling me that you'll behave. I know you feel how completely helpless you are, and now you're in complete darkness. Your voice sounds more frantic, more panicked as you continue to call. I think it's a good time for a drink.
You, in the meantime, are strung up, helpless, blindfolded, in a strange basement. Your only possible savior is a man you've never seen before who whipped you within moments of meeting you. You start to panic as your mind spins with all the things I might do to you. You start hearing things...you call out, hoping it was me you heard...hoping I've come back down to rescue you. You don't know if I'm upstairs, if I've left the house, or if I'm standing right next to you, watching you squirm.
Suddenly your questions are answered as you feel a paddle strike you across your ass. Too surprised to even scream, the breath catches in your throat. I lean over and whisper harshly in your ear "did you miss me baby? I'm back. It's playtime now". You hear a quiet buzzing and realize that against all your conscious wishes your pussy has gotten instantly wet.
