Its the Christmas season again, cheesy romance and feel-good movies on the telly. We've known each other a while, both single and alone this year, spending what's supposed to be a happy time together. We're bored by the entertainment and switch off the TV.
"What do you want to do?" you ask me.
"I've got ideas," I reply. "But nothing that you want to do, you've made that clear." I stick out my tongue at you, we're always teasing and throwing jibes at each other.
"Try me." You say with a wink.
"Do you trust me?" I ask.
"Completely." You reply.
I ask you to sit on the office chair, it has no arm rests and a four-spoke base. You do so, surprisingly eager. Maybe you don't think I'll go through with it.
I gently take your arms and bring them behind you. I grab the rope belt from my bathrobe and fasten your hands, tying them securely, but not too tight. I use shoelaces on your feet, using what materials I have around me, tying your legs spread to the sides. I then take a scarf from the closet and blindfold you.
The whole time you have a curious expression on your face, like you're looking forward to seeing what I'll do next. I nuzzle my face into the cradle between your neck and shoulder, and then bite down hard. You yelp first, probably surprised, but it quickly follows with a giggle.
I bring my mouth to your ear, first I blow gently, and then I whisper: "Just say stop, and I will."
