David padded naked back from the shower in a good mood. A day off work when his wife was working always gave him a positive feeling. A sense of freedom. What should he do? Undisturbed access to the Internet was on his mind. Flirt with someone in a chatroom or download some porn and jerk off. The day was his.
But meanwhile he climbed back into bed and cuddled up to Lisa. She lay with her back to him and he reached around, slid his hand up her nightdress and stoked her full breast. She giggled promisingly.
They had been married two years and everything had been conventional about their relationship, even as far as remaining virgins until their wedding day. Lisa was quite straight about sex, perhaps a little shy even now, and always let David do the running. She seemed to be happy, seemed to have orgasms, although he sometimes felt a vague pang of fear that she was faking. She also seemed happy with the regularity of sex, although David would have liked it more often and with more adventure.
His hand crept towards her crotch but he felt her stiffen a little, which he knew was a sign not to rush things. But he felt the time pressure, knowing that she was going to have to get up soon and depart for work. He knew she would feel his stiffness against her butt.
She rolled towards him. "You always rush me."
"Sorry, I was just worried that you might have to go soon."
"You always make the running, anyway. Maybe I should make love to you?"
He felt a sudden surge of excitement. "Really? You've never said that before."
She grinned. "I know. I've been reading this book."
"What book?"
"Oh it came free with a magazine. It's about having better sex. It says the woman should take the lead sometimes."
"Sounds great." said David, squeezing a breast again."Keep reading."
"I will."
To his surprise, she climbed on top of him, something she had never done in all their time together. He realised what he had been missing. Her weight on him was sensual and the thought of her pussy hovering over his penis made it harden even more.
She kissed him passionately and he responded hungrily. He reached around and groped for her slit.
"Ah-ah. No. I'm in charge remember?" she chided
"Sorry - can't help it you are so gorgeous, babe."
She laughed. "Maybe I should tie you up?"
His mind raced. "Where is Lisa and what have you done with her?" he joked. "I must have a look at this book myself."
"Lie still." she commanded, but climbed off him and off the bed.
"Are you going?"
"Far from it." she smiled.
To David's surprise, she opened a dressing table draw and pulled out two long silk scarves.
"Put you hands up."
He obeyed, feeling a deep sense of lust in his balls at the same time.
She tied his hands to the two bedposts.
"Now, what can I do with your legs? I know!"
Lisa slid the belts out of their towelling dressing gowns and used them to fasten his ankles to the bedposts at the foot of the bed. "Now I've got you!" she beamed.
David felt weird. He was excited and yet slightly scared, but the fear seemed to add to the excitement. He'd never fantasised about this sort of situation but he was enjoying it greatly.
Lisa climbed on top again. "Now you can't rush things." she giggled. I can do what I want with you.
"Go for it, babe." said David.
She began to kiss him again and again he responded wholeheartedly. But he tasted something odd.
"Hey, what did you eat last night?"
She sat up. She had been out with the office girls for a meal. "I guess there was some garlic in there."
"It stinks! Maybe you should rinse your mouth, babe."
As soon as the words were out he regretted them. He felt her shrink and saw from her face she was upset.
"Sorry, I didn't - " he began.
"Sod you, David. You've spoiled it now."
"Babe I - "
"I can tie up your hands and feet but maybe I should tie your mouth?"
She climbed off again and he knew the moment had gone.
"I'm sorry."
"You will be. I will see you tonight." she began to dress hurriedly.
"Look I'm sorry. Untie me and we'll have a cuddle."
She turned towards him, and his hopes were lifted as she smiled.
"Untie you? I don't think so. You can take your punishment like a man."
"But I will be here all day. How can I eat or pee?"
"You should have thought of that before, babe."
And to David's astonishment she marched from the room and went downstairs.
Trapped by his bonds, David nevertheless laughed at the situation. But then to his surprise he heard the front door slam. He had expected her to come back and untie him before she left. He lay still alone with his thoughts, glad that his bladder was empty but aware that he hadn't had breakfast.
Some time later - David wasn't sure how long, but it was perhaps half an hour - he heard the front door open again. He was pleased at the thought that Lisa had returned. But he heard her go into the kitchen and switch the kettle on. God, she was making him wait.
Again he lay in the semi darkness of the room, aware only of his nakedness and helplessness, waiting for her to come and release him. He rehearsed his apologies.
He heard steps on the stairs and breathed a sign of relief. More steps on the landing and then the bedroom door opened as Lisa returned.
Except that it wasn't Lisa.
