Her vision blurred a little, the leaves in the tree above her overlaid with static as they twisted slowly in the wind. She smiled, and that was slow too-- everything languid and hazy as the edible-induced fog settled over her. Even the hummingbird that flittered by, on its way to the feeder at the other end of the back porch, seemed oddly unhurried. It glinted beautifully in the afternoon sunlight, brighter, more vibrant than it would appear sober.
She settled back in her chair, a reclining piece of lawn furniture made from canvas fabric on a heavy metal frame. The gentle drop backwards was deliciously disorienting, muddled as she was; a wave of sensation rolled over her like a slow pulse, electric on her skin. She gasped a little, then laughed quietly at the lust behind the sound.
Yeah, weed did that too.
She took a moment to glance around the wooden porch, the empty yard beyond it. There wasn't anyone around. There never was. Reassured, she flexed her hips experimentally, sighing as gentle pleasure rolled over her.
She repeated the action a few times, enjoying the static-y feeling that radiated through her, starting at her hips and then flowing in both directions, up to her head and down to her curled toes. She stretched her legs out, flat as she could get, and found to her delight that she could prop her ankles on the solid metal bar meant as a foot rest.
The bar felt cool against her skin, already oversensitive. She wriggled a little, tugging against imaginary rope, and then closed her eyes, head thrown back to the sunlit sky. Satisfied, she slid her ankles to the farthest corners of the metal frame, leaving her legs slightly spread. She moaned a little as she placed her wrists squarely on the armrests and imagined rope tightening there too, binding her securely to the metal frame of her seat.
Yes. Yes, that was good, so good that for a moment she considered going inside, opening the drawer in her bedside table, and getting rope for real-- or at least a vibrator, the quietest one she had. In her two months of living on the property, she had never seen a single neighbor. There wouldn't be anyone to watch her.
But no, said the small part of her brain that still thought rationally. Neighbors or not, there might be a mailman, or someone picking up trash. Her new landlady hired out the lawn work, she knew that much, but on what schedule she couldn't say. It wasn't worth the risk.
She would stay outside, though, and enjoy herself. Eyes still closed, she gasped again, relaxed, mind cloudy. It didn't take long to fall asleep.
She woke up confused, even deeper in the haze. She flexed her hips again on instinct, and this time the wave of pleasure came heavier, rolling over her with an intensity that made her groan. The sound came out oddly muffled around what felt like a knotted piece of fabric pressing on her tongue, tied firmly around her head. Why would there be--?
It took effort to open her eyes, but when she did, she found something lighter tied across them, blurring everything around her into indistinct outlines. A vague shape moved to her right, and she flinched unsuccessfully against bindings that now felt very, very real. She couldn't move her wrists. Her legs, still spread, were similarly immobile, bound tightly to the bar below her ankles.
The realization had her gasping again, over-warm and delicate, skin tingling against the woven texture of rope. For a moment, some fraction of the confusion lifted, and she wondered if she might still be fantasizing alone, so high she couldn't tell the difference.
