Let me start by stating clearly that I've never been into bondage. That's weird stuff for weird people. I'm not like that. So, admittedly, it's surprising that I would be tied, spread eagle, to the four corners of a bed in front of a stranger.
"Do you trust me?" she asks.
Trust her? I only met her 2 hours ago. Of course, I don't trust her! I'd be an idiot to trust her.
"Yes," I said.
"Good," she replied. "I sometimes don't even trust myself. I can get carried away."
Oh my God. What have I gotten myself into?
Let me go back to the beginning and explain how this insanity came about. I had just ended a long-term relationship, which meant that I hadn't dated anyone else for a long time. So, I had been out of the dating scene and was out of practice. That why, when I came upon an ad for a dating service, I decided to try it. Enter Melissa. I loved her video, with her beautiful face and sweet voice. She talked of her interests (many similar to mine), but did end the video by saying she liked light bondage. I didn't even know what that meant, but if she wanted me to pretend to be a pirate and tie her up, sure, that'd be harmless. We arranged to meet at a local bar after work.
She was as pretty in person as in the video, with a lovely figure. A tall redhead, she wore tight fitting clothes that emphasized her curves. Clearly, she wasn't modest about her body. Another positive. She was smart, funny, and had a ready smile. We hit it off and I was delighted when she suggested we go back to her place.
We had some more drinks, and although I was a little light headed, I can't blame alcohol for my actions. Let's just say lust drove me forward. (The first time that has ever happened - just kidding.) Melissa reminded me of her statement in the video, that she liked light bondage.
"Have you ever been tied up?" she asked.
"Er, not since I played Cowboys and Indians when I was 10 with my best friend," I said, making light of the question.
"It's very sensual," she replied. "The lack of control, the utter dependence on another person for your needs, and your pleasure. It can be the most erotic and thrilling thing you've ever done. Are you game to try something a little adventurous?"
Put that way, it's sort of hard to say no. Sorry, lady, I'm a wimp and not into pleasure or thrilling things.
"Sure, I'm up for it" I said.
"Great. Strip down to your underpants and lie on your back, on the bed."
I knew there was something wrong with how this date was going. Isn't the idea to remove the woman's clothes?
"Er, will you be taking off your clothes too?" I asked, a little hesitantly.
