Part I
Kathleen waited on the edge of the dock. Her long, pale yellow sun dress danced around her legs as the breeze played its early summer game. The sun was making its way towards the west. There were many hours of sunlight left.
She had never been here before. It was a quiet marina with about 30 boats of all shapes and sizes. One man, a boy really, was working at the gas dock. He was reading a book. It was a slow day... a late weekday afternoon on the lake.
She had been looking forward to meeting Michael. It had been well over two weeks since their last rendezvous. Being with him was the most exciting adventure she had ever known. It was a new experience every time they met.
Finally, she saw Michael as he steered his boat into the cove and slowed to a crawl. It seemed like it took him forever to reach the marina dock where Kathleen waited. He had told her what to wear and what time to meet him... but that was all he told her. Kathleen loved it when Michael told her what to do. Michael eased the boat up to the edge of the dock, walked to the rear of the boat and reached out his hand. She took his hand and stepped aboard. She had never been on his boat before. Another new experience.
Without a word, he kissed her deeply. She was breathless. It was almost like a dream.
"Sit down", he said quietly, but firmly.
She sat in the passenger seat of the 31 foot cruiser and Michael took the controls and eased away from the little marina. Kathleen noticed a duffel bag lying on the cockpit floor. It was unzipped and she couldn't help but peer inside. She saw several different types of rope and she thought she saw a familiar vibrator that had made an appearance at one of their previous adventures.
Michael quietly noticed her staring into the bag. "Are you curious?", he said.
"Quite", she said with a nervous smile.
"Well, my dear, we are entering the advanced stages of our little adventures.. and I hope you are ready and willing."
This comment excited Kathleen and frightened her a bit at the same time. With that, Michael left the wheel and took a length of white cotton rope from the bag.
"Hands out", he said. She complied by putting her wrists out in front of her. Michael tightly tied her wrists together... making sure to pull the rope tightly enough to make Kathleen gasp audibly.
With her hands bound in front of her, Michael took advantage of the moment and ran his hands all over her face and body... carefully avoiding her breasts and other sensual areas. It was his way of making her suffer... making her want him.
He guided the boat to a quiet area of the enormous lake. They passed fewer and fewer boats... and then fewer and fewer houses.. until they were in a remote area with a few small wooded islands scattered about in the lake.
Michael slowed the craft and crept up on one of the small islands. It had one section of sandy beach and the rest of the island was wooded with pines and a few hardwoods. Michael tied the boat off and tossed the filled duffel onto the beach. It landed with a clank. That made Kathleen wonder what else was hidden in Michaels toy bag. He ordered Kathleen off the boat. Soon, she was barefoot and on the beach... the bottom of her dress was wet from stepping down the ladder and into the shallow water.
Kathleen wondered wildly what would come next. Each of their adventures had become more and more extreme. She had no idea where this would lead, but she knew how much she loved it when he was firmly in control.
Michael led her towards the center of the little island. They followed a short hidden path that led to a more open grassy area. Kathleen thought that the island seemed larger than it appeared from the water. In the grassy area, there were two large trees about 10 feet apart. There were two ropes tied to each tree and two ropes hanging down from one strong limb above. That was the moment when Kathleen realized how well this particular adventure had been planned. Somehow, it made her more excited to know that Michael had gone to so much trouble to prepare this game.
Michael stopped and turned and yanked the rope that bound Kathleen's hands. This pulled her towards him. He kissed her and then positioned her directly between the two trees. Without a word, he took the two lower ropes from each tree and tied them firmly around Kathleen's ankles. Her legs were now secured, spread a few feet apart, just wider than her shoulder width. The two trees towered beside her. Her hands were still bound in front of her and Kathleen closed her eyes for a moment and silently prepared herself for the unknown torrents that she knew, and hoped, would be come.
