In our bed, I'm lying on my back, looking up at the ceiling but since I'm wearing a blackout mask, I can't see a thing. With the earplugs, I can't hear anything. My arms and legs are tied to the corners of the bed so I'm not able to move either.
After fifteen years of monogamous marriage and two years of sexual exclusivity before that, you have only a few choices: being bored by mundane sex, giving up on sex entirely, having affairs, or getting creative in your sex life. My husband, Steven, and I had chosen creativity.
We didn't join a sex club or become swingers. Some of the things that we thought were creative or unusual probably would have bored real kinksters. Whatever. They kept us excited and kept our marriage passionate.
We'd change up our positions and we'd try new toys or activities. We made love in new locations. We'd watch porn together and if there was something that looked fun, we'd try to imitate it.
I like being on top. So does Steven, so we take turns. I wanted to spank him and he wanted to spank me so we each experienced both sides of that. We made love in the bathtub, surrounded by candles and sipping champagne. We had sex in the backyard. I dressed him in women's underwear and put make-up on him as he licked me to a climax for a bi-curious fantasy. In exchange for that one, I let him shave my pubic hair.
It's not like we do stuff like this all the time. Most of our sex is as vanilla as you'd expect. But the creative stuff kept us interested in each other and it made the routine stuff more fun too.
We have two pre-teens daughters so there are some limits. If we can do it our bedroom, there isn't a problem but some things we can only do when they're sleeping over at friends' houses. We look forward to their time away at summer camp each year since the whole house is open for play. During the year, we tease each other with ideas for what we might do after we drop them at camp.
I'm not sure which one of us first suggested bondage but the idea excited us both so I knew that it was going to happen. Steven teased me by placing pillows over my arms, pretending to restrain them. I teased him back by asking publicly if he expected to be too tied up this summer to finished some projects. We found some porn videos and did some reading about knots. We bought some parachute cord. In the weeks before summer camp would start, we made love more than you would expect from a couple who has been married as long as we have.
The first day of camp came and we drove the girls there. They were excited to see friends from past summers and about their plans for swimming, hiking, and sailing. I wonder if they noticed that we were excited too.
We had assumed from the beginning that, at least the first time, I'd be the one who would be tied down. Even though I had wanted to spank him, when I finally did, it wasn't as exciting as being spanked. I figured that the same thing would go for bondage so that was how we would do it. I'm sure that if I ever want to try doing it the other way some time, he'll be a willing partner there too.
We stopped for dinner on our way back and got home too late for any major activities. We had the rest of the weekend to play before we returned to work and I suspected that we might be naked for most of it. I had teased him as we drove so I wasn't surprised that he was in the mood for sex. So was I so and we made love before drifting off to sleep.
Not having the kids around meant that we didn't need to take them to their activities or really need to do anything else. We slept in and then went out for a late brunch. We ran some errands and finally got home around 1:30, holding hands as we came in from the garage.
We went right to our bedroom and undressed ourselves. As I did, I checked myself out in the mirror and I liked what I saw. I wondered how many women my age would be tied to the bed by their husbands and assumed not very many.
Steven had cut several lengths of the parachute cord and one was tied to each corner of the mattress frame, with the other end on the mattress. Naked, I walked to the bed and without discussion, plopped down in the center of it. I spread my legs toward the corners and placed my arms above my head pointing to the sides of the bed.
Instead of starting to tie me to the bed though, Steven lay next to me and kissed me. His hand found my breasts and my nipples which surprisingly, were not yet erect. I decided that, instead of placing my arms around him to deepen our kiss, I would leave them in the position where he would eventually tie them.
At last, he broke our kiss and got up from the bed. I was feeling the beginning of my wetness and a quick glance showed that he was also getting aroused.
Steven took hold of my right wrist and pulled my arm toward the top of the bed. He wrapped the parachute cord around it and knotted it, leaving my arm stretched although not yet tautly held. He went to the other side of the bed and tied my left arm the same way. Even without being fully immobilized, I started to experience the psychological feel of subjugation and my physical arousal heightened.
He went to the foot of the bed and took hold of my ankles, pulling them downward. I moved my hips to help him and as my body moved toward the foot of the bed, my arms pulled against the knots tightening their hold on me.
Steven looped the cord around my left leg pulling it toward the corner so that it was tight then did the same for the right leg. Besides being spreadeagled tautly to the corners, my thighs were now separated and my body was full exposed to him. He lay down with me again and we kissed. This time, my decision to not hold him as we kissed was made for me since I couldn't move my arms even if I had wanted to do so which I didn't. I was enjoying the feeling of having him in control.
As we kissed, he ran his hands up and down my body. He massaged my breasts, moved to my hips and reached down my legs. He slid his fingers up my thighs and as his hands slipped over my vulva, I automatically reacted by trying to move up to meet his touch. I wasn't successful since the cord limited my movements. This was the first frustration that I felt from the restriction of Steven's bondage tie.
We hadn't discussed what he might do to my body while I was tied up. I honestly didn't want to know. I agreed with something had I read online saying that bondage was the ultimate act of trust since you were giving the other person total control of your body. In our previous play we had of course discussed limits and I trusted him not to exceed mine. We had also created safe words and I knew that he would honor those as well.
From my position on the bed, I could see what Steven was doing and when I felt him get off the bed, I watched him walk toward his dresser. When he came back, he kissed me again and then placed a blackout mask over my eyes. It was another level of his taking control of me and me giving control to him. The mask was fully effective in blocking my vision and I accepted that I would be restricted to my other senses.
I spoke too soon there. He kissed me on each ear then I felt him pushing something soft into my left ear--it was an ear plug. He let go and the foam expanded filling my ear canal. He placed another one in my right ear and now, besides my immobility, he had taken away my ability to either see or to hear.
