The first goosebump-inducing thrill usually came when Kim had laid all the equipment that she was about to use out in front of her. The reason for this was simple, it was the first tangible sign of what her devious mind was about to inflict upon her own, soon to be helpless body.
Her self-bondage sessions were usually relatively simple, consisting of just one or two elements. This was a deliberate ploy, designed to help her focus and maximise the enjoyment/suffering of each of these elements. Today's plans, however, were a little more complicated, but she'd thought it through over and over again, and in her head at least, they worked an absolute treat.
One length of rope, that's all this session needed, for most of the restraint would - somewhat unusually - come from other sources. Next to the rope was a posture collar, a pair of handcuffs, a cable tie, a pair of clover clamps, a small, clear plastic bag, a roll of electrical tape, a pussy pump, a mains-powered vibrator, a lock with an electronic timer, and a pair of tin snips that could cut through the thin metal loop of this lock in case of emergency (Kim was harsh on herself, but she always played safe, especially when there was nobody else in the house).
"First things first," she thought, "it's time to build up my excitement for the predicament that lies ahead." Not that her excitement needed any further encouragement, for the planning phase alone was enough to ensure a trail of evidence ran down her left inner thigh. Nevertheless, Kim pressed the pussy pump firmly against her cunt, and pumped it as far as it would go, causing her to swell and fill the cup, and a delicious ache to envelope that area of her nervous, excited body.
Whilst the pump did its thing, it was time to prepare the rest of the scene. The clamps went on first - "Attaching them this early will only increase my suffering later on" Kim muttered to herself, allowing a masochistic grin to discreetly form at the corners of her mouth. Each clamp was attached to a single length of string, which she then used to wrap around the fucking machine in front of her.
Oh, did I not mention the fucking machine? A device that had given her many hours of pleasure in many holes in many ways over the years, but this time, it would serve a different purpose.
After a bit of moving about and testing, Kim finally had herself and the machine at the perfect position. She was sat, cross-legged and back-straightened, on her bed and against her metal-framed headboard. The machine sat about three feet in front of her, with it and the string at just the right respective lengths that when the machine's arm retracted fully, it tugged painfully at her nipples, but when it pushed back towards her, she was given a momentary respite.
Next was the single length of rope, which Kim used to tie her ankles together, forcing her to remain cross-legged. This had two benefits: first, she couldn't extend her legs to use them to drag the machine closer if the pain from the tugging was getting too much. Second, she had incorporated the vibrator into the tie which, once the pump was removed, would have no problem in doing its intended job.
Next up, the plastic bag, just the right size to squeeze over her head, which is just as well, because that's exactly where it went. Kim used the safety scissors to cut a small hole for her nose, and then proceeded to wrap several layers of the electrical tape around her mouth, forcing the bag in place, and her mouth partially open but unable to catch any breath.
The scene was coming together nicely, and as the dull pain from the pump and the much sharper sensation from the clamps began to take hold, Kim took a moment out of her preparations to turn the vibrator on and allow the tremors to hum across the pump's surface and through her aching cunt. The frustratingly low pleasure was an absolute delight, so much so that she lost herself for a few moments, sitting in ever-increasing waves of pain and pleasure, her vision partially obscured by the bag, and her body semi-restrained.
"I'm going to regret that" Kim thought, snapping out of her trance to look down as best she could at her nipples, realising how sore they were already. She hadn't even started yet.
Turning off the vibrator, Kim carefully removed the pump to expose a very swollen, very needy cunt. Immediately, the tightness of the ankle rope helped the vibrator fall into position, nestling firmly against whatever clit it could find past the now-sizeable labia.
Next up was the posture collar, which she fastened around not only her neck, but one of the small, metal struts in the headboard. This would ensure her head stayed firmly in place, and therefore the rest of her upper body as well, to an extent.
Now, Kim couldn't look down, and when the other half of the electrical tape was wound over her eyes, around and around her head until the roll ran out just to make absolutely sure she couldn't see, the rest of the scene would have to be done by feel.
Luckily, there wasn't much more setup to be done. She cable-tied her left wrist to another headboard strut beside her (not too tight to risk her circulation, but enough that there was no chance of slipping out), clamped one cuff over her still-free right wrist, and turned the vibrator on, high.
The shock of the 0-60 pleasure, after the slow, methodical build up (and impromptu edging session a minute ago) immediately brought her close to the edge of orgasm. "NO" she muffled out loud in an uncharacteristically stern voice, "I cannot cum yet, it's not time."
It wasn't yet time, but it was now a race against time to make sure the rest of the scene was complete before her body inevitably betrayed her mind.
With haste, and a fair amount of anticipatory shaking, Kim closed the other cuff, then attempted to lock it to another headboard strut to her right using the electronic lock. The horn was rapidly building inside her, providing an unwanted-yet-oh-so-wanted distraction, but after a bit of barely-recognisable swearing and a lot of frantic hand movements, the lock clicked in place, securing her hand to the bed.
The timer had already been set to 20 minutes, a time that terrified her. Kim was very used to this vibrator, and knew that, usually, she could only take around 5 or 6 minutes of it at its highest setting - even without her pussy being pumped - before giving in. But not only was Kim a masochist, she was also someone who wanted to push her limits, and physically preventing herself from reaching the wand for so long would be the only way she could achieve this.
Of course, she had the tin snips within reach of her right hand if she needed to get out immediately, but ideally she didn't want to destroy the electronic lock that she'd spent money on and had only been delivered earlier in the week.
All that was left to do was turn up a dial and push a button. The dial turned on the fucking machine, and she turned it up just enough to produce a steady, rhythmic pace, tugging on her nipples with each retraction, forcing her to push her chest out as much as her bondage allowed to try and prevent herself from suffering too much pain at this early stage in her ordeal.
The button was to turn the timer on for the lock.
Beep...beep...beep...beep...beeeeeeeeeep.
And that was it. Kim was trapped. Forced to sit upright by the posture collar, hands fastened securely beside her and unable to reach anything except the tin snips, nipples being tugged repetitively by the machine, engorged cunt feeling the vibrations of the wand on high, legs crossed, and unable to see or speak properly. Everything had come together perfectly, and with a smile and a groan, Kim dropped the control for the fucking machine so it fell gently on the floor out of reach. She can do nothing now to stop the pain and pleasure until the lock reaches the end of its 20-minute timer.
