The night of the party started as all of the previous parties she had attended. She had walked in with her boyfriend, Brad, migrating from group to group, chatting as they always did with the ones they knew and making the new ones feel welcomed. Dinner had been served buffet style, as had all of Katherine’s parties had in the six months Brad had been bringing her to his friend’s monthly gatherings. They sat on the sofa as the party had started to wind down, until only the core of Katherine’s friends remained.
It was around this time she and Brad usually left. But this night was different. This night Brad whispered in her ear he wasn’t ready to go home yet, why don’t they stick around a little longer since Katherine wasn’t kicking anyone out of the house. She readily agreed, loving the company of friends in such an intimate setting.
The six couples sat around and drank a little more, chatting about what had happened in their lives in the last month. Then Katherine announced she had received “The Book” she had been waiting on to arrive. She sat it down on the coffee table and everyone oohed and aaahed. It was a book of cartoons with nude women; one in particular who always found herself in suggestive situations with men and women alike.
Ann wasn’t quiet sure what to think. Brad picked up the book and started flipping through the pages of the thick tome. Ann peeked over his shoulder, feeling a strange fluttering inside her stomach at the sites of the various predicaments of the lady all tied up, being molested and spanked.
Brad put his arm around her and pulled her closer, so she could see the book better.
He pointed to one of the panels, “See the look in her eyes, she’s enjoying it.”
“How could someone enjoy being trussed up like a thanksgiving turkey?”
Katherine laughed at her comment and walked out of the living room. Ann could hear her open the closet door and rummage through the contents. When she returned, she had an armful of nylon rope in her hands.
Patty, a short red head who always sported a wonderful leather choker to the parties, started bouncing up and down at the sight. Her husband, Mark, laughed and placed his hand on her shoulder. She immediately looked at him and grinned.
“Please, Sir?” was her only comment.
Katherine handed Mark the rope. All the couples settled down to watch what happened next. When Ann looked at Brad with a puzzled expression on her face, he just nodded toward Patty.
“Strip,” Mark said, which Patty immediately started to do.
Ann was flabbergasted at the sight. What the hell was going on here? This wasn’t the way people acted at a party.
