A soft click stirred Anna from a deep sleep. Turning her head slowly she opened her eyes slightly, noticing the soft glow from the street lights outside the window. Everything seemed normal. It must have been nothing.
Closing her eyes again she rolled over to go back to sleep, only to realise that she couldn't. Her arms were stuck somehow above her head and something was resting across her waist, something heavy.
Trying again her eyes snapped open when she felt a hand clamp over her mouth. She didn't even have a moment to scream before a voice, a woman's voice, said quietly, "Shhhh... it's only me."
Anna stared in astonishment, making out the face of her friend Nathalie who was sat straddling Anna. She tried to speak but nothing came out through the hand over her mouth.
"You promise to talk quietly I'll take my hand away, ok?" Anna nodded. "Promise?" Anna nodded again.
With Nathalie's hand gone, Anna whispered, "What the hell is going on?"
She saw Nathalie smile in the semi-light. "I saw how you were looking at me tonight over dinner..."
"I don't know what you mean," replied Anna. Except that she did. She really did. As her husband had been droning on yet again about another boring story about his work, she'd been looking at Nathalie, her mind drifting, mentally undressing her, imagining doing things to her just like she had imagined again and again since that one night that her and Nathalie had spent together nearly 25 years before.
"Yes, you do."
Anna just lay there in silence, not trusting any words that might come out of her mouth. This was her fantasy coming true, she should be thrilled. But her husband, the man that she'd been married to for 15 years, that she'd promised to be faithful to regardless of how annoying he'd become, lay asleep next door. She was conflicted.
"I'm going to do something that I should have done long, long ago..."
"What?"
"This..." Nathalie leaned down to kiss Anna on the lips gently, teasingly. Anna stayed still, not daring to reciprocate, though she had a powerful urge to return the kiss. Nathalie, sensing the reluctance, instead planted gentle kisses on her lips, on her face, then moved down to her neck.
"Stop..." whispered Anna. "We can't do this. And please uncuff me," she added, looking up to see handcuffs on her wrists keeping them pinned to the bedframe.
"Not yet... and why not?" whispered Nathalie before resuming kissing Anna's neck.
"Because...", replied Anna. "Because my husband is asleep in the room next door. Because my kids could hear us. Because we're both 45 not 20 any more. Many reasons..."
Nathalie sat back up and shrugged. "The amount your husband drank he's out for the count."
"That's still not a reason."
"Hmmm... let's see, shall we," replied Nathalie as she reached her right hand down to touch Anna's left breast through her pyjamas. "Let's just see."
Nathalie fell silent for a minute as she focused on Anna's nipple through the thin cotton. Anna felt it hardening, and felt her body start to respond to the stimulation. Not just a little but a lot.
Memories came flooding back to Anna, of that night 25 years before with Nathalie, back at university, before work, before family, before marriage. Back when the two of them had been single and keen to experiment. A one-off... but a wild one-off that she'd often wished, in her deepest, most secret fantasies, had been more. It seemed like Nathalie maybe felt the same.
"I don't think you're minding this," teased Nathalie. "Do you want me to stop?" Anna said nothing. "Let me check something else..." continued Nathalie.
While her right hand continued to touch and tease Anna's nipple, pinching it lightly through the fabric, Nathalie reached her left hand behind her, down under the waistband of Anna's pyjama trousers and between Anna's legs.
Anna knew from how her body was responding what Nathalie would find. She knew that she was soaking wet. "Look at this..." Nathalie whispered in mock surprise. "I think you want me to keep going?"
Anna said nothing, but betrayed herself when a soft moan escaped her lips as Nathalie touched her, tracing her finger gently between her legs and brushing ever so slightly her clitoris.
"You want this?" Nathalie whispered as the stroking grew slightly firmer, all while Nathalie's other hand continued to play with Anna's nipples.
"No... we can't," whispered Anna with another soft moan. "But... lock the bedroom door."
She saw Nathalie smile in the half light. "Already done." Nathalie climbed off Anna and settled down beside her, slipping her hand back between Anna's legs while she leaned over to kiss her.
This time Anna didn't resist, returning the kiss hungrily. She could feel her arousal building rapidly, particularly feeling so helpless, her hands bound to the bedframe like this. Two of her biggest unfulfilled fantasies rolled into one. Another moan escaped her lips.
"Shhh," teased Nathalie. "You must be quiet." Anna could see that Nathalie herself was clearly aroused, both her nipples visible through the tight t-shirt that she slept in. Anna wanted nothing more than to touch Nathalie's athletic body, to stroke and lick what was hidden by the single layer of fabric on her small pair of pyjama shorts, the thought of which pushed more soft moans from her as Nathalie's tongue found hers and as Nathalie's fingers continued to touch her.
Nathalie started to move her attentions lower, kissing down onto Anna's neck and shoulders. Each kiss sent a little jolt through Anna, and when Nathalie reached the fabric of her pyjama top she undid each button, one by one, kissing the naked skin revealed beneath.
When the buttons had been fully undone, the top left covering only Anna's still bound arms, Nathalie turned her attention to Anna's breasts, kissing and licking one then the other, paying special attention to her nipples which were stood up proudly with Anna's arousal.
More moans escaped Anna's mouth, followed by a soft yelp as Nathalie bit gently on one of the nipples. "You like that?" asked Nathalie, looking up at Anna's face. Anna looked down and simply nodded. Taking that as her cue, Nathalie continued, alternating stroking and gently bites. Anna was being driven wild by desire at this point.
"Oh god..." Anna moaned. "Go down on me. Please."
