"Fnnngghh..."
Emmy moaned quietly into the cloth stuffing her mouth, squirming against her bonds. She lay on her bed, legs tied together, wrists bound behind her back, utterly helpless against anyone who might come upon her. If someone were to find her, to
touch
her, she wouldn't be able to resist, could only--
She sighed as she carefully untangled her hands from a repurposed hair tie, breaking the illusion long enough to reposition them in front of her body where she could begin touching herself. Binding her legs was easy enough, with a couple of belts providing a nice firm hold she could struggle against, and a washcloth and scarf made a more or less functional gag. But the hair tie was the best thing she'd found for her wrists, and it always felt like it was going to break if she pulled too hard. It was more an inconvenience than a restraint.
Emmy tried to ignore the flimsiness of her bondage as her hand found her clit, stroking slowly as she cast her mind back to her kidnapping about a month prior. Then, she'd been bound so tightly with that heavy tape, mouth sealed with a ball gag, and Piri--the gorgeous, intensely confident Piri--had come to her, and--and--
"Mmnnffh... ffhhnnn!"
She worked her fingers faster, an orgasm blossoming as she focused on the memory of Piri's touch. Emmy's legs flexed against the belts, her muscles tensed--
Snap!
A sudden pop at Emmy's wrists startled her, interrupting her climax, leaving a confusing mix of pleasure and shock in its wake. It took a few moments to realize what had happened: The hair tie broke! Emmy had liked that one, too.
This clearly wasn't working, she thought as she began untying her gag in frustration. Ever since that incident, since
Piri
, she couldn't stop thinking about being bound, being touched, but these little self-bondage sessions were a poor substitute. Maybe it was time, again, to stop denying what she really needed, what she was afraid to ask for. Piri had forced that confession out of her once, and while they'd had no contact since then, the other girl's parting offer still echoed in her head.
Once her legs were free, Emmy dug the slip of paper out of her desk drawer, the one she'd carefully hidden away after her captors had released her. Emmy's hands shook as she typed the number into her phone, reading and rereading the name above it:
Piri
.

Arranging an alibi for their meeting was surprisingly easy. Emmy told her mother she'd be seeing her friend Lily after school that Friday, "and I might stay over, I'll let you know." She told Lily she had a date--which was, essentially, true--and to please cover for her if anyone asked. Lily was curious, of course, but Emmy promised to tell her about it afterward, and could probably explain it away as a disappointing evening if it came down to it. She didn't particularly like the deception, but the truth of the matter--
I'm meeting the girl who kidnapped me so she can take control of my helpless body
--was not something she particularly cared to explain.
Emmy had half expected her mother to make things more difficult; after all, she
had
just been kidnapped. While she was eighteen and technically free to do as she wished, if there was ever a time for overprotectiveness, this seemed like it. But while her mother had been very apologetic over Emmy's experience--guiltily so, even--she promised Emmy that it had all been resolved, and that she wouldn't have to worry about it again. Presumably this had been part of whatever deal she worked out with Piri's father over Emmy's ransom, and Emmy didn't pry further. Of course, her mother might have raised some concerns if Emmy mentioned exactly who she was seeing, but that was out of the question. She just had to hope she wasn't making an enormous mistake.

Friday afternoon came, and Emmy found herself at a small cafe near the edge of town, drinking her boba too fast as she tried not to physically shake with anticipation. She was excited, unbearably so, but there was an undeniable anxiety mixed in as well. At the back of her mind, she couldn't shake the feeling: Was this a trap? She'd taken precautions, had asked Lily to check in on her over the phone at a set time, and had an uncomfortably detailed email scheduled to send the next day if she wasn't available to cancel it. Was that enough? What if Piri just grabbed her and carted her off somewhere? A rush ran through Emmy's body as she imagined it, but she tried to pull herself back to the gravity of the situation.
Seriously! My mom would be so mad!
And then Emmy looked up from her drink to lock eyes with Piri, walking toward her table, and none of that mattered. The other girl was as beautiful as she remembered, her flowing, purple-dyed hair fading to pink at the tips, her piercing eyes, her completely self-assured stride. She wore a cropped black t-shirt and dark jeans, a casual outfit that was nevertheless extremely flattering on her body. Emmy was still wearing her school uniform--white button-up shirt, red bow, plaid skirt, minus the vest due to the warmer weather--and now felt slightly self-conscious about it.
"Emmy," Piri said, approaching the table with a knowing smile. "It's good to see you again."
"Y-you also," Emmy managed to stammer.
"I'm going to order a drink. I'll be right back, okay?"
Emmy just nodded and watched Piri make her way to the counter. It only took a moment; she seemed to know exactly what she wanted. She looked, Emmy noted, just as good from behind.
"So," Piri said, returning and taking the other seat, "I'm glad we could meet under... different circumstances. We didn't really get to talk last time, you know?" Emmy blushed at that. She had, of course, been gagged almost the entire time.
"You're wearing your uniform again," Piri continued.
"I, uh, didn't have time to change..."
"I know." Piri's face wore a slightly softer expression here, in public, but that calculating smile shined through. "I told you to come here right after school, didn't I? You could have asked for time to change, of course, but you didn't." She leaned closer, lowered her voice. "Maybe you're just very obedient... or very eager."
A shiver ran through Emmy's body. She hoped no one else in the shop was paying attention. "I... uh... I did bring some clothes with me, so--"
"No." The statement was direct. "You're adorable in a uniform. If I want you to wear something else, I'll say so."
"Um... thank you." Emmy raised her drink, tried to hide her red face, not sure how to respond. "You, uh... you look good too." Piri grinned wider.
"You're a sweet girl when you're not, you know, demanding that I untie you. Oh, here's my drink." Piri thanked the server as Emmy made her best attempt to look normal. "So, when we're done--" She motioned toward the window, where a chain hotel loomed just across the street. "Do you want to go somewhere more private?"
* * *
Piri had already booked a room, and led Emmy in through a side entrance, avoiding the lobby. "This place is mostly for people here on business, or on their way somewhere more interesting," she explained, glancing around a hallway corner before ushering Emmy along. "But, you never know who you might run into. I mean, I don't care who sees
me
going into hotels with strange women, but you probably have some sort of reputation to uphold, right?"
"Oh, I, uh... thank you." It was actually rather considerate of her, Emmy thought.
"Here we are." Piri opened the door, revealing a clean, simple hotel room with a single king-sized bed. "Make yourself comfortable."
Emmy hesitated a moment, taking a breath before stepping inside. This was all moving very fast, she knew, but this was, after all, exactly why she'd come here. Even the time spent waiting in the cafe, watching Piri finish her drink, her dexterous fingers gripping the cup just so... Emmy had felt like she was going to burst.
"Thank you for, uh, meeting me." That was awkward. Emmy didn't really know what to say. She had never been to a hotel...
