The next morning Hannah woke and stretched out in bed. She felt the keys lying next to her in the bed and squeezed them into her body and smiled. With only a sheet to cover her, she rolled over and closed her eyes, what a lovely morning. She started to remember the fun that she and Tom had had the night before, the games, making love. She reached out, expecting to find him in the bed next to her, but she was alone.
Finally her memory caught up with her. Oh no! F***! She hadn't unlocked him from the trunk. The poor guy had spent the whole night locked inside, completely helpless and barely able to move a muscle. He had spent the whole night with her dirty panties in his mouth! Was he alright? Even if he was, this would surely be the last time he'd let her lock him up. How could she have been so stupid?
All sorts of scenarios ran through her mind as Hannah threw off the sheet, sprang out of bed and, with the keys in her hand, ran into the lounge. She fell to her knees and peered anxiously through the small air holes in the lid of the trunk. To her immense relief, Tom was still breathing and even better, he seemed to be fast asleep.
Quietly, Hannah took her keys and unlocked the two heavy padlocks and opened the steel trunk. Tom was sleeping and looked amazingly peaceful. Maybe this would be OK after all.
Hannah quickly showered and changed into her favourite blue jeans and fitted pink t-shirt and put her long hair up in a ponytail. She sat on a stool next to the trunk and tried to compose herself. She decided that the best approach was to act confident, as if she'd meant to leave him there all night. But inside she felt stupid, and the sight of her used underwear in his mouth just made her feel worse.
By the time Tom woke, she was sitting as calmly as she could, drinking coffee.
"Morning sleepy," she said as she bent down and pealed the duct tape from around his head.
Tom spat out Hannah's dirty underwear and slowly got his stiff jaw moving.
"What's the time, did I spend all night in here?"
"Yes, all night under my lock and key, held captive by a girl," she said with a slightly false laugh.
Tom however smiled at the thought as he struggled to climb out of the trunk with the fiddle and the cuffs still locked in place.
"Any chance of getting out of these?" he asked rattling the restraints.
"Maybe," Hannah replied as she crossed her legs and turned away to check her phone.
He started to notice the discomfort caused by the lack of movement, particularly in his arms. He knelt down next to her stool and looked up his jailer. Shit, she looked sexy. He loved those jeans, they made her butt look out of this world.
"Oh my, where did I put the keys?" she said, trying to sound as casual as possible.
Tom watched Hannah as she glanced around the room as if trying to locate the keys. Although after a little more prompting, Hannah stood up and pulled some keys from the back pocket of her jeans.
"I hope I haven't bent the keys by sitting on them," she said as she took her time inspecting each key to find the right one.
Tom smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"And if you make one comment about the size of my butt, then I'll lock you back in the trunk," Hannah smiled as if knowing what he was thinking.
With plenty of further theatrics, Hannah slowly unlocked the fiddle and the foot cuffs, but left the handcuffs in place. She then tucked the keys back into her pocket and sat back down, pinning the keys beneath her.
"You forgot these," Tom said holding up his chained hands.
"I thought it might be more fun if you tried to pick those locks."
"Pick these! Have you seen just how complicate the key is? There's no way."
"Now, don't be such a defeatist," she smiled as she stood up and placed her bare foot down on the cuff chain, thereby pinning his hands to the floor, "I'll even give you a hair clip."
As promised, Hannah fetched a hair clip from her room and dropped it on the floor next to where Tom was still kneeling. She then started to walk around her apartment, cleaning up from the night before.
Tom played along and straightened out the clip and inserted it into the lock on one of the cuffs. For a few moments his positive attitude got the better of him and he tried in earnest to open it. However, a few minutes later reality kicked in and he threw the hair clip across the room. It was a pointless exercise.
"Hannah, this isn't going to work."
"That's a shame, I thought we could go out for breakfast," she replied while straightening the sofa cushions.
"We can, the cuff key is in your pocket!"
"I guess if you can't get out of your cuffs, then we'll have to stay in," she giggled.
She was starting to drive him crazy and so he stood up walked over to her. Hannah saw him coming and gracefully ducked under his arms and skipped into her bedroom. Tom, his legs still stiff from a night in confinement, followed her more slowly.
"Hannah, the key?" Tom asked as he cornered her in her bedroom.
"Silly ole me, have I got your key," she giggled as she ducked inside his cuffed arms and kissed him on the lips. Tom gazed into her dark eyes and hardly noticed as she pushed him backwards so that they both fell on to the bed. Hannah finally ducted out from inside his arms, sat astride him and pulled out the key.
"What's it worth?" she asked, dangling it above him.
"Not tickling you to death," he smiled as he lifted her t-shirt and tickled her around the waist.
Hannah burst into laughter and had to slide forward until she was sitting on his chained hands to stop him.
"OK, OK," she giggled as she slipped the key into one of the cuff locks and released his wrist.
However, instead of unlocking his second wrist, she simply relocked the first cuff around the metal bed frame. Before Tom could react, Hannah had jumped up and with her back to Tom, slipped the key into her back pocket and started wiggling her hips from side to side. With one hand tethered to the bed, Tom tried to vain to reach her.
"Looks as though we're having breakfast in, I'll go pick up some coffees."
Once again she had him helplessly chained up, she was getting quite a knack for it.
"Can I have the hair clip then?" he asked.
"Sure," Hannah purred as she blew him a kiss and left the flat.
