"Please Tabitha, only for a bit!" said Tony, the little boy I was babysitting. "I want to do it before Uncle gets here!"
I sighed. I really didn't like playing kidnapped with kids. They never understood when you should let someone go and took it too far. But there were so many shows with the bad guys capturing the heroes or a damsel in distress that was I really surprised kids wanted to do it too?
No, I wasn't.
Just like I couldn't be surprised when so many people grew up with bondage kinks after watching someone get tied up in cartoons since they were five.
"Fine, but only the arms and legs. You have way too much rope there." I replied.
Little Tony smiled and set down the rest of the rope, making sure to hold onto two pieces.
You'd think he was trying to tie up ten people with how much rope the kid found.
"Ok, sit on the couch, put your hands behind your back!" He demanded.
I guess we were starting.
I did what he asked and Tony hopped up behind me and went to work. The rope circled around my wrists and he finished it off by circling between my wrists. Making the rope seem like handcuffs.
He then came around to my front and did the same with my ankles.
Tony had just finished a fancy knot, which I assume he did to my wrists too, making the knot in between my ankles so I couldn't access them easily, when the doorbell rang.
"Awwwww, already?" He said.
I looked at the clock. His uncle was an hour early!
"Ok Tony, you need to untie me so I can let your uncle in." I said.
But Tony just took off towards the door and said, "Don't worry, I got it!"
Dammit. This is exactly what I was worried about. At least the Uncle I'm sure will untie me.
Tony opened the door and a man with a 6ft frame and medium build walked in. He had some scruff around his face and green eyes. He was also young looking, around my age of early twenties.
The man looked over and me and one of his eyebrows went up.
"Uh, hello. Name's Adam." The Uncle, Adam, said.
"Hi, my name's Tabitha." I said, then did an awkward side wave with my bound hands.
"Go wait in the car Tony. I'll be right out. Just going to help our friend get out of the little bind she's in." Adam chuckled at his pun.
"Ok!" Tony said before grabbing his bag and making his way towards the door.
I thought I saw Adam give the kid some money when he passed him, but couldn't think of a logical reason he'd do that.
Adam made his way towards me, a bit of evil in his eyes but I figured I was imagining it.
He first looked at my wrists then said, "If you want to know what a real criminal would do, he would definitely make these tighter."
I felt the rope tighten around my wrists then said, "Hey wait, you are supposed to be untying me."
"Right right, I am just trying to educate you a little before I do. Let me see your ankles." Adam then strolled over to where my feet were and checked out my ankles. "The kid sure knows how to tie a knot! However a real criminal would also tighten these."
Then he tightened my ankle bonds as well!
"Ok, you showed me what a real criminal would do, now please untie me." I begged.
"I think I like you too much as my captive."
My eyes went wide.
"My captive can move around way too much though." He said. Then he looked over at the pile of rope Tony left and smirked.
"Uh, isn't Tony waiting in the car?" I asked, starting to get really nervous. Hopefully he would go home, I could just find some scissors in the kitchen.
Adam picked up a length of rope and came over to me. Then he studied the rope like he was considering something, before putting it down next to me. He reached into his pocket with his free hand but I couldn't see what he was pulling out.
I let out a sigh of relief since he set down the rope before Adam said, "Nah, the kid's probably on the way to a grocery store to use the money I just gave him."
"What?" I choked out.
