I have been criticised, maybe correctly, for putting the 'Lightning' series in the wrong category. This is a problem which many recognise with mixed categories This one could have gone into BDSM, Lesbian and at a stretch Loving Wives. However I have decided, after seeking advice, the nearest is Incest/Taboo.

I was sitting with my big sister, Sandra, in a quiet corner of the wine bar, I wanted to ask her advice. She was my half-sister actually, her Dad died in a car accident a few years before I was born. My Dad married our Mum a few years after Sandy's Dad died.
She was quite a few years older than me, six to be exact. She had a lot more worldly experience than I'd had, and I wanted to ask her advice. I had already told her it was boyfriend stuff.
"Come on then my little Sis, what's this all about?"
We were already over three quarters of the way down a bottle of wine. I needed the Dutch courage. "Roger wants to do some stuff, and I'm not sure?" I leaned forward and whispered not wanting to be overheard. "He wants to get a bit kinky. We watched a film the other night and he suggested something." I didn't know how to carry on.
"Out with it." Sandy whispered to me.
"He wants to tie me up. But I don't know. What do you think, should I try it, or should I turn him down? So many questions, and no answers. It's been going around in my head all week."
Sandy leaned into me, still whispering. "One thing I can tell you, Mandy, this is not the place to talk about it. Let's go to my place, we can talk there, or yours if you're more comfortable talking about this at your home."
"The boys are away playing golf so either will do but yours is closer, and you've probably got better wine than I have." I giggled. "Yours is fine."
We didn't talk about it on the taxi ride to her place. She seemed a bit thoughtful, that was so unlike Sandy, normally you couldn't stop her talking. Never mind, I'd put her in an awkward position. We got to her place. She suggested as we were using her wine that I should pay the taxi, which seemed fair to me. By the time I had followed her indoors she had the wine open, and a couple of glasses poured. We went into the living room, sat at each end of the sofa, curled our legs underneath us, it was all very comfortable.
"Right, the first thing I have to ask." Said Sandy. "Do you trust Roger? If you don't, then you stop right now."
I had already thought about that. "I do trust him otherwise I wouldn't be here talking to you about it. I would've said no straight away."
"So, what's the problem? Go ahead with it. As long as you make a few rules, limits, safety​​ words that sort of thing just go for it."
I took a sip of wine and gave her a quizzical look. "You sound like you have some experience of this?"
She smiled at me. "Might do." She obviously did, her smile reached into her eyes. "So what's your worry?"
"After we'd seen the television programme, we had to look on the Internet about bondage and that. There is an awful lot on there, it looks very scary. I'm not sure I want all those whips and chains and things."
"Don't get mixed up with BDSM and erotic tying up, that's all I can say."
"The main worry is if we try it, he likes it and I don't? If I say yes and we give it a try and it's not for me and he wants to do more. To be honest it scares me a little and I might not be able to stand being tied up, then he will be disappointed. And then what happens if I like it and he doesn't?"
"Oh, the second one is easy, you will have to decide whether you can live without the kink or live without him. If he loves you, he will do it for you. Unfortunately, the other way round isn't as easy. No matter how much you love him, if you can't stand being restrained it will sour your relationship. If you can put up with it, use it as a treat or on special occasions, you'll be okay. It will take some work."
"How will I know if I can stand being tied up? It wasn't a game we played as children, there were no cops and robbers, Cowboys and Indians where the damsel gets tied up and has to be rescued by the hero." I paused a bit, thinking. "Thanks, you've given me something to think about. I might just have to tie myself up to see if I like it."
"Oh, I think we can go one better than that. How about I tie you up here and now. It's just you and me, you're quite safe and you can find out you can manage to be restrained. If you can't you just tell Roger, 'No' and it won't get his hopes up. If you can stand it, you can move forward with confidence, and you will know you're not going to disappoint Roger. What do you think?"
It did seem the perfect solution. She was my big sister, what could go wrong?
Sandy stood up. "Harry has lots of old ties. I'm sure we could use some of those. What do you think, shall we give it a try?"
"I'm nervous, but yes let's give it a go."
With that Sandy got up and walked upstairs I took another large drink of the wine. Even more Dutch courage.
Sandra
Oh dear, my gorgeous baby sister, half-sister, I must keep that in mind, was going to let me tie her up. It was a dream come true, she was gorgeous. I had watched her grow from a gorky little teenager into a beautiful mature woman. And she was right. I did have some experience in tying up. Well, most times it was me on the receiving end, and that wasn't a complaint. My husband, Harry, was very good at it, and with what he did when I was fully restrained.
I knew Roger. He was a big mate of Harry's. But if Mandy did like being tied up or could at least put up with it, I'm sure Roger would appreciate it.
It was at our wedding a couple of years ago that Roger met Mandy. She was my chief bridesmaid. Although she wasn't my first choice, Gemma, my best friend from university was, but she was eight and a half months pregnant. Mandy didn't mind not being chosen at first, but she was overjoyed when she was promoted to chief bridesmaid. Roger was there as an usher, as soon as the dancing started he made a beeline for Mandy. ​​18 months later they moved in together I think Mandy was waiting for an engagement ring. I wonder if that had anything to do with what she was thinking about being tied up?
I've got four of Harry's old ties from the wardrobe and took our toy bag from my bedside cabinet and put it on the end of our four-poster bed. Just in case I have a need of its content later. I could hardly keep the smile off my face as I went downstairs to my baby half-sister. Just as I got to the top step, I heard a phone ringing. It wasn't a ringtone I recognised, I had other things on my mind at the time.
Amanda.
I heard my mobile phone ringing. It was Roger's ringtone, I was about to go and get it when I saw Sandy coming down the stairs. She had a handful of ties in her hand. Bloody hell, was this really going to happen. The phone rang off. I would get Roger's answer phone message later. Sandy hadn't been gone long, but enough for me to have another drink of wine. I made sure I poured her another one. She might need some Dutch courage too.
She smiled at me. "How do you want to play this, hands in front or behind? Your choice."
"Let's try hands in front." She took my hands and crossed my wrists in front of me then wrapped one of the ties around them.
"How's that, not too tight?"
"It's very snug, it could probably be a little bit tighter. But I can get to the knot with my teeth, it doesn't feel quite right."
She reached forward and started undoing the tie. "I would have made it harder by putting the knot underneath, but you probably could have still got to it. Let's try hands behind you. If you get scared just tell me to stop."
As soon as my hands were free, I turned round and placed them behind my back. This time she put them palm to palm. I felt her wrap the tie around my wrists several times and then in between them. This was very snug and quite comfortable. I looked over my shoulder at her, she appeared to be concentrating. "I can't get out of this can I?" I said to her when she'd finished.
"Give it a try and wiggle around, I don't think you'll get free. Let's make sure you are fully restrained and there is no hope of escape."
I did as she suggested I was not getting free. It felt quite comfortable, I wasn't scared at all. This might be all right.
Sandy turned me around so I was facing her. Then she said, "This is just to make sure." Then she tickled my ribs. She knows I'm ticklish there, she used to do that to me as a child. I let out a howl and I tried to get free. I couldn't. She stopped after a few seconds. I was glad of that. "See I can do almost anything to you now. But you can still run away. Shall we do your feet next?" I just nodded.
She knelt down in front of me, crossed my ankles and tied them together. She sat back on her haunches, looked at me and I must have had a quizzical look on my face because she said. "You can tie the ankles snugger if they're crossed." I found it a little frightening that she knew that, how much did she know about tying people up?
She rested her hands on my knees, tilted her head to one side slightly and asked me. "How does that feel, are you okay, do you want me to let you go or shall we carry on?"
"What more can you do?"
"There are knees and elbows yet, if you wish? You can't get away now, but they just reinforce the helplessness, especially the elbows. How are you feeling so far?"
Actually, I felt quite comfortable, this could be ​okay​ with somebody you trusted. "I'm all right, I suppose you could do anything to me now and I couldn't stop you. But please don't tickle me again."
