It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning, but Peppa awoke with a thumping headache. She shuffled to the bathroom and peed, and after washing her face in cold water and brushing her teeth, she made her way to the kitchen for a glass of water and some pills to combat the pneumatic drill inside her skull.
Yawning, she walked into the lounge and saw the bound woman on the floor and it all came flooding back.
"Fuck!" she exclaimed, as she dropped her glass and ran to Juliet praying that she hadn't died. As she dropped down beside her she heard snoring and sat back on her heels sighing in relief. Nervously she shook Juliet's shoulder until her eyes opened.
Juliet groaned and tried to move, she lay with her cheek in a pool of drool and with a croaky voice she asked, "Please may I use the toilet?"
Thirty minutes later Juliet sat at the kitchen table. Her face had been washed, and Peppa was feeding her toast and tea, because her hands were still tied and couldn't do it for herself.
"Don't I at least get to shower?" she asked.
"Of course, but you would have to share with me." Peppa looked away embarrassed. She had made it sound too much like an invitation and a part of her hoped Juliet would say yes. "I can't untie you yet, I still have to decide what to do with you," she explained.
Juliet looked up sharply. "You're not going to kill me are you?"
"Of course not!" Peppa almost laughed at the thought, "but if I do release you what will you do? Will you go to the police?"
"Let me free Peppa, you can't keep me here. You have to untie me before this all gets out of hand."
Hearing the calm voice of reason made Peppa begin chewing her nails again. "I'm going to shower and get dressed; I'll decide what to do after that." She stood and walked to the bathroom, trying to hide her surprise and excitement when she saw that Juliet followed her.
"You'll either have to untie me or wash me," Juliette said "personally I don't mind which."
They both stood naked in the shower, the hot water streaming down over them. Because of the lack of room, their bodies were in constant contact, but Peppa made sure she kept her hands well away. She so wanted to touch Juliet, but without the alcohol-induced courage, she was once more the nervous young woman.
Knowing she had to do one or the other, she nervously began soaping Juliet's body. Her hands were shaking and she tried to keep them clear of the woman's private parts: she had finally admitted to herself and to Juliet that she was gay, but she was scared to give her any more reason to ridicule her.
"What about the rest?" Juliet asked. She smiled as she pushed her hip into Peppa's belly.
"I...I can't, I'm sorry, anyway you're clean enough." Peppa kept her face turned away and tried to squeeze past Juliet to leave the close confines of the shower cubicle but Juliet pushed herself between the girl and the door. Peppa knew she could easily overpower the bound woman and force her way out, but she wasn't prepared to take the risk of hurting her.
"Look, please don't!" she pleaded. In answer, Juliet just pressed her ample breasts against Peppa's smaller ones. A groan escaped her lips that may have sounded like a sound of exasperation, but they both knew it was a sign of Peppa's arousal. Trying to act as though she found it a chore, she again applied soap to the warm wet skin; but this time to just Juliet's breasts, bottom, and pussy.
Soon Peppa found herself on her knees, gently and somewhat lovingly washing between Juliette's silky thighs. She raised her head to see that Juliet's eyes were closed and her mouth was open as she savored the hands caressing her. It took all of Peppa's willpower not to press her lips to the pussy just inches from her face.
Ten minutes later and Peppa found herself in the same position, this time she was drying Juliet's legs with a warm towel. She no longer hesitated to move her hands between the open thighs, or to slide the towel gently between the woman's buttocks, and she felt her nipples stiffen as she did so.
When she was dry, Juliet stepped back leaving Peppa on her knees. The young girl was still wet, and hugged the damp towel to her chest. For some reason she had agreed to dry Juliet first, she shivered as she looked up at the woman standing above her, and she knew inside that the power had shifted and she was no longer the one in control.
ooOOoo
"You are much too trusting, and it'll get you into serious trouble one day," Juliet said. "Now I have some things to do, but I shouldn't be more than a few hours, so you be good okay?" She smiled brightly, and after kissing Peppa on the nose she left, closing the door behind her.
Once she was alone, Peppa pulled at the bindings holding her to the chair but couldn't gain an inch of freedom. She cursed herself, and knew it was true; she was too trusting and so very naive. She had released Juliet on the simple promise that there would be no consequences, but she had fallen so easily for her guile. She thought back over their conversation trying to find where she had allowed herself to get into this mess.
ooOOoo
"You don't even know what it's like to be defenseless, do you?"
"Yes I do, I feel defenseless every day, when you and all the others pick on me," Peppa argued.
"You're not really defenseless though are you? you just need to stand up for yourself." They were sitting across from each other at the kitchen table. Peppa nursed a cup of strong coffee as a newly freed Juliet massaged her chaffed wrists.
"It's easy for you; you don't know what it's like, just because I'm different from you, I didn't choose to be gay." Peppa's voice trailed off, it was the first real mention of what she had said and done while she had had Juliet bound and she averted her eyes in embarrassment.
"Oh come on, it's got nothing to do with being gay, that's just a symptom not a reason."
"But none of you knew I was gay," Peppa said quietly, she hadn't even known herself until last night and she still found it hard to admit.
"Jesus, Peppa, are you really that dumb? Of course we know, everybody knows, you make it so fucking obvious and because you won't admit it you make yourself such an easy target. You never fight back; you take it all and just do as you're told."
"That's not true, I do try to fight, and it's just that it's all of you against me; you all gang up on me." Peppa's argument seemed to lose steam, and in a voice barely audible she added, "It's just not fair."
Juliet reached across the table and laid her hand on Peppa's forearm. "Life's not fair, but you would be the same if it were just one person, let me prove it to you." She stood and walked around the table. "Put your hands behind the chair back," she said with a stern voice.
"What? No, what for?" Peppa was puzzled as to what Juliet intended, but she didn't resist as her coffee was taken from her hands and her arms were pulled gently back and behind the chair. She even held them there as Juliet went to fetch the white cotton rope from the drawer where Peppa had placed it. When she realized what Juliette intended she snatched her hands back onto the table "oh no, not that," she protested.
"It's okay, I just want to show you how it feels, how you made me feel," Juliette said in a friendly tone. Standing behind Peppa she gently massaged the girl's shoulders and neck; she worked slowly down the arms pulling them once more behind her back. When Peppa's hands came together Juliette began wrapping the rope around the wrists.
"Please don't? I never meant to hurt you, I was drunk, you were drunk, it shouldn't have happened."
"No it shouldn't, but it did, you frightened me. It was nothing like what happens at work. You could walk out of the office any time you like, or you could just tell the girls to fuck off; so you're not really defenseless are you? But I want to show you how helplessness feels, when everything you want or do is controlled by someone else, when they can do whatever they want to you and you can't do a thing to prevent it." Juliette said as she worked with the rope securing Peppa's hands.
Peppa didn't struggle, she sat listening to the hypnotic voice, she hadn't meant to go so far, she had only wanted to humiliate Juliette a little, to make her understand what it was like to be bullied. Then she felt the rope tighten and she suddenly realized she was, in fact, helpless.
Now that their positions were reversed and she thought back to the previous night and what she had done to Juliet. She became worried as to what would happen next; what Juliette might do to her?
