"What do you want those for?" I asked Angela as she brought a third cardboard tube upstairs to our spare bedroom.
She had retrieved three large cardboard tubes, about thirty inches in diameter and three feet long from a skip on the building site that surrounded our newly built home.
"I can use them for this year's Christmas Cracker, Jason," she replied. "Unlike last year this will be a cracker for both of us."
I wasn't convinced. Last year she had made me into a Christmas Cracker on Christmas Day morning. Being her Christmas Cracker had been awkward, embarrassing and only rewarding afterwards. I had been confined inside for about an hour before she let me out. Although we had a safe word and signal, Angela got annoyed if I had to use either. She saw that as a failure on her part to restrain me safely and consensually. She enjoyed restraining me but if I had to use a safe word or signal she knew she had gone too far.
She had been making Irish dancing costumes for a youth group and had had yards of green Lycra material left over. She had thought she could make it into a Christmas Cracker with me inside as her 'present'. I thought she had spent to long and taken too much effort to make me her helpless victim.
Angela stood one tube on its end.
"Come here, Jason. Stand in it."
I stood inside the tube. It ended slightly below my waist. Angela climbed in beside me. There was room for both of us.
"Hold me," she ordered.
I put my arms around her. She picked up a second tube and lifted it above our head before settling it on the first one. We were hidden from view from outside and very close together. She kissed me.
"Yes, it would work," she said before removing the second tube and stepping out of the lower one.

Last year I had woken up on Christmas morning to find Angela wanted me to be her Christmas Cracker. She started with two very long mermaid petticoats. I climbed into one that she pulled up to my armpits. The lower frill, held out with a hoop, splayed around my feet in a froth of satin and netting. She inverted another before easing it down outside my arms, squeezing them against my body. My head was concealed by the frills of the second petticoat. She followed that with a green lycra sheath pulled up to my armpits, trapping me further before an identical sheath dress down from above. Each sheath ended in a splayed skirt, held out by the frills of the petticoats.
