Learning the Ropes

Postby Kyle » Sat Feb 11, 2017 9:25 pm

This was a request for Mask6184. A boy learns how to tie someone up from his older, cute neighbor. It will be in a few parts, though I haven't yet determined how many.

“Oh come on, how did you get loose so fast?”

Josh was surprised to see his neighbor, Katherine, running off, the jump rope he’d used to tie her to the tree after capturing her in the game they were playing laying harmlessly on the ground.

Katherine was gone and running home too fast to hear Josh’s comment, but it was heard by someone else.

“You just don’t know how to tie up someone very well.”

Josh turned to see his 16-year old neighbor, Olivia, standing and looking from her parents’ yard. Olivia had clearly been in her family’s swimming pool, judging by the dark blue one-piece swimsuit she was wearing that was still a little bit damp, as was her long dark hair. It was certainly a hot day, being late June in Arkansas with the sun shining brightly down.

“What do you know about tying up someone?” Josh asked, curiously.

“More than you do” Olivia retorted. “I played the war games a few times when I was younger. I have experience being tied up and tying up someone and they didn’t usually escape without help.”

Olivia walked over and picked up a jump rope that was laying on the ground and handed it to Josh.

“Here, try to tie me up. I’ll get out of it in less than 2 minutes.”

Josh was hesitant. He had a bit of a crush on Olivia and the chance to tie her up, in her swimsuit no less, was an...interesting idea, to say the least. Josh was 13 years old and to him Olivia was a cute, older girl next door he had a crush on, one of his firsts as he had just recently really left the “girls have cooties” stage. She was becoming a star softball player and was fairly athletic.

Josh took Olivia’s hands carefully.

“Go on, try it” Olivia said.

Josh gained a bit more confidence with that. He started winding the rope around Olivia’s wrists behind her back, sloppily, and fairly loosely. He finished it off with a knot that wasn’t cinched very well. Olivia knew immediately it wouldn’t be hard to get free. Only one loop was really binding her wrists well at all.

“See, this isn’t any good at all” Olivia said. She twisted her wrists around in different directions. It did take her a few tries to get her hands to loosen the one tight loop, but after that it was pretty quick work shaking the rope and causing the whole thing to unravel. It didn’t take her anywhere close to two minutes to have her hands free in front of a dejected Josh.

“I just can’t do it” Josh said, head down a little bit.

“Sure, you can” Olivia said, trying to cheer him up. “Look, I’ll show you. Come with me.”

Josh followed her to her house just down the road. Olivia led him to her dad’s shed. She pulled it open and stepped inside, coming back out a short time later carrying some rope.

“I’ll need to go for another swim after going in that oven...” she said to herself, sweating, as it was practically an oven inside the shed. “Come on, let’s go inside where we can have air conditioning.”

Olivia opened the door and Josh followed her inside into the house’s living room. It was a fairly large room considering the size of the house.

Olivia stopped and thought a few seconds, pushed the coffee table out of the way, and sat in the floor, dumping the ropes beside her.

“Okay, my parents won’t be home for a few hours, so I won’t have to explain just what is going on in here” she said. Although there was some knowledge kids in the neighborhood ended up tied up during games, it was usually outside, frequently with a group of friends.

“So, this is what we’re doing. You seem to have trouble with tying someone up, and not happy about it. I’m going to...well...show you the ropes a bit. Sorry, bad joke” she apologized. “Hopefully after today you’ll have at least a basic idea of how to restrain someone because, no offense, but your last attempts have been pretty bad.”

“Thanks” Josh said sarcastically.

“Don’t mention it” Olivia responded with equal, albeit more cheery, sarcasm. “So, I think we’ll start on my feet first so I can use my hands to show you how it’s done.”

“Your knots could probably be better, but your biggest problem is you wrap the rope very loosely” Olivia said. “It’s so loose it almost wouldn’t matter if the knot was perfect. You need to tighten it up.”

Olivia took the first strand of rope, about 10 feet long, and started looping it around her ankles, making sure to keep it pulled tight as she did so.

“Notice how I’m not letting it get loose. I think you get careless with it. Make sure it’s tight or the person you’re tying up can just wriggle around a bit and find a way out pretty fast.”

Olivia noticed Josh was pretty attentive. He really wanted to learn this. Olivia wasn’t offended or creeped out; she was more amused at how serious he was taking it.

“Okay” Olivia said. “In truth you should do something else before tying the knot, but let’s talk about the knot for a moment. Your knot isn’t bad from what I could tell, but you need to cinch it a little bit better. Just like before, make sure it’s tight.”

Olivia finished doing what she was explaining to Josh and then sat back, testing out her work. Her feet had a very small amount of wiggle room.

“Given enough time, I could probably get out of this, but it would take a while and a good bit of struggling” she said. “We’ll keep it simple and let this be the first lesson for you. See if you can replicate it.”

Olivia untied her feet and gave the rope to Josh. “Your turn” she said.

Josh took the rope, a bit uncertain at first. He wound the rope around Olivia’s legs a couple of times.

“Better, but still not tight enough” she said. “Start over, it’s not going to work.”

Josh unwrapped the rope and began again, this time keeping it much tighter. He got the rope to go around her legs several times before deciding to tie the knot. Earlier he had been more confident in his knot, but now, he was a little nervous about it, and ended up accidentally pulling the knot too far and untying it. He retied the knot, making sure to cinch it better than before.

Josh moved back and Olivia tested his work. It wasn’t as good as what she tied, but she did feel somewhat restrained.

“You’ve improved. This would at least slow me down for a few minutes. Untie it and do it again.”

Josh untied the rope and started wrapping it around Olivia’s ankles again. He caught himself getting a little careless and remembered to pull it tight, before tying a knot that was a bit tighter than the last one.

“I might turn you into a successful kidnapper after all” Olivia said.

Josh laughed, and Olivia followed up “That sounded bad. Forget I said it.”

“Maybe we should gag you” Josh said, trying not to sound too hopeful.

“But I have to talk to walk you through this” Olivia replied. “Maybe if you get this right fast enough you’ll be rewarded by getting to shut me up for a little while. It’ll be good motivation.”

Josh was determined to improve anyway. His competitive side—like Olivia, he had an athletic background-- wanted to tie her up just so he could say he “won,” but he also had to admit he secretly liked the idea of her tied and gagged. He was going to focus now for sure.

Part 2

“Go again” Olivia said to Josh. “But this time, before you tie the knot, we’re going to add something.”

Josh started wrapping the rope around Olivia’s ankles. When he still had enough for a couple of wraps, Olivia held up her hand.

“Stop” she said. “Let me take the rope.”

Josh handed Olivia the rope.

“You can make it more secure if you also make a loop or two between my ankles. Like this.” She wrapped the rope around in between her legs to show what she meant, then let Josh take the rope again to try it. He got this right on the first try. Olivia wiggled her feet around.

“It’s getting better. I’d have to do a good bit of struggling to get free from this” Olivia said. “But there are still some things to work on. For now, give this another couple of tries. Try to get it a little bit tighter.”

Josh untied the rope from Olivia’s legs and did it again, keeping the rope tight and winding it around and between her ankles. Then again, and finally a third time.

Olivia was satisfied Josh was learning from her.

“All right, let’s switch it up. Let’s work on tying hands. It’s the same idea as tying legs but you have one added challenge: make sure the person you’re tying can’t reach the knot. If they can, it’s only a matter of time until they can untie it.”

Olivia stopped talking for a few seconds. She scrunched up her face in thought.

“What’s up?” Josh asked, sensing Olivia was thinking.

“I can’t tie my own hands, so I’m basically going to have to talk you through this. I think we covered the basics pretty well on tying legs. We’ll work with that.”

Olivia’s face lit up as a thought came to her. “It’s kind of dumb to tie someone’s hands in front of them unless you’re going to tie them to something else, but for the moment I want you to tie my hands in front of me so I can see what you’re doing better. Or at all, I guess, since it’s hard to see behind me.”

Olivia took a few seconds to adjust her swimsuit. Although a one-piece, it was open on a lot of her back and the top of it was riding up as she bent forward. She then put her hands together on her knees in front of her.

“All right, see what you learned from working on my legs. Tie my hands together, however you think is best. I’ll then move my hands and see how I think you did.”

Josh looped the rope around Olivia’s wrists a few times. He tried to make sure the rope was pulled tight, but Olivia could already feel a bit of looseness. She didn’t say anything yet though. Josh pulled the rope between her wrists, like he’d done with her ankles, then wrapped it around her hands two more times before running out of rope and having to tie the knot. It made the rope a little bit tighter than it had been.

Olivia moved her hands back and forth to test it. Josh’s work was better than it had would have been 30 minutes earlier.

“I’ve been teaching you well. This is not bad.” She moved her hands around. “I can reach the knot, though. It’s an awkward angle, but given a little time, I could pull it out and undo all your work. It’s still a little loose too. If you hadn’t pulled the rope between my wrists I’m almost certain I could get out pretty quickly. As it is, it would take a little bit of struggling. You’re getting there.”

She held her hands out to Josh. “All right, untie me. Go again. This time, make sure I can’t reach the knot with my fingers and try to keep the rope a little tighter.”

A thought occurred to Josh. “What if I tie it too tight and cut off your circulation?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely say something if you’re cutting off my circulation” Olivia said. “But that hasn’t been a concern so far.”

It was said in a sarcastic tone, which prompted Josh to stick his tongue out at her. Olivia snickered a bit.

Josh used the rope to tie Olivia’s wrists together. He focused on keeping Olivia from reaching the knot, but didn’t tie it well, and knew it immediately. He undid the rope and started over, doing a much better job this time. Olivia tested it out. For the first time all day, she really felt somewhat helpless.

“Okay, this is getting better” she said. She searched for the knot with her fingers, but Josh had tied it by her left wrist. She couldn’t reach it. Of course, she could get it with her teeth, but she had promised not to do that.

“I might have a lot of trouble getting out of this one” Olivia said after a bit of wiggling around trying to pull her hands free. She tried to slide her left hand free first, but she couldn’t move it. She then tried her right hand. There wasn’t any give there either. She attempted to grab the knot, which, due to its positioning, would only be possible with her right hand. It was possible she could maneuver the rope around so she could get the knot, but it would take some work. Since she had said she wouldn’t use her teeth, Josh had tied her where she couldn’t easily escape.

“You might’ve won this time” she finally conceded, holding out her hands.

Josh pumped his fists and gave a cheer.

“Settle down” Olivia said, rolling her eyes. “You’re doing pretty good, but I don’t think I’ve taught you quite as much as I can just yet.”

“What else do we still have?” Josh asked, curious.

“You tried to tie Katherine to a tree. That’s usually what we did a few years ago when I played, at least, we tied each other to something. We could work on that, although you can tie But I have a couple of other things in mind.”

She took a longer piece of rope than they’d been working with and held it up.

“This is the trick that I used when I really didn’t want someone escaping. I’m not sure anyone ever managed to wriggle out of my knots without some help when I used it” she said. “It’s hard to demonstrate on myself, but...”

She took the rope and held it in her left hand, as she was left-handed. She placed her right arm against her side and wound the rope around her torso and arm a couple of times.

“Pretend I’m doing this to both of my arms instead of just one. If you wrap the rope around my arms and chest like this, it’ll pin my arms to my sides. It’s great if you’re tying me to a pole, but can be used just as well if I’m just tied up on the floor, like we’ve been doing. It keeps me from being able to move my arms, which can actually be rather restrictive.”

Olivia handed Josh the rope.

“You can practice it if you want. I’m sure you’ll want to.”

Josh did, and he took the rope from Olivia. He started to run the rope around her, starting from the front and running under her chest, being unsure of how to approach handling the rope around her chest area.

“You can do it, go ahead. But do watch where your hands are grabbing” she warned him.

The rope was almost long enough for 3 full circles around Olivia before Josh had to tie it in a knot, making sure to keep the rope taut and tight.

“That’s pretty good” Olivia said. Her arms were pretty tightly pinned to her sides. She put her hands behind her back and feigned having them tied together. “See, I don’t have a lot of leverage like this, or even if my hands were just tied in front of me, it would help restrict my movement. It won’t prevent me escaping by myself, but add some other restraints and it can make me more helpless. All right, untie me.”

Josh untied the rope and let Olivia’s arms free.

“We’ll work on tying someone to objects a bit, but first, let’s take a break. I think we should drink some water first. One of my ideas will take us to the back porch and it’s still hot outside.”

Part 3

Olivia went to the kitchen and filled up two glasses of water, then went back into the living room and gave one to Josh.

“So if we’re going to do the challenge where we see if you’ve learned well enough to tie me up for a time period, we’ll need to get on it in a little while. My parents will be home in a couple of hours and I don’t really want to have to explain what is going on.”

Olivia didn’t think she or Josh would really get in trouble. Parents knew a little bit about games in the neighborhood, including ones where kids would get tied up, but it was typically done outside, not behind closed doors. It was an explanation she didn’t really want to have to make.

“I’m getting better. I think I’ll be able to keep you from escaping” Josh said confidently.

“You’ve improved, but don’t get too cocky” Olivia fired back. “Let’s get on outside.”

She grabbed the ropes and walked to the back door of the house which opened onto the back porch. The porch was covered so the sun didn’t beat down on them, but it was still hot. Fortunately, a light breeze was blowing in.

“So, you tried to tie Katherine to a tree and she got out in a couple of minutes, right? Let’s see if you can tie me to one of the porch support columns.”

Olivia set the rope down on a nearby table and stood up against the nearest support.

“You can tie me to this however you’ve liked, using what you’ve learned today.”

Josh grabbed one of the strands of rope from the table and approached Olivia. He was a little uncertain how he was going to do this and thought for a few seconds, then decided a similar method to how he tied Olivia’s arms while she was standing inside: looping the rope around her torso, trying to pin her arms tightly. The rope was long enough to go around under her breasts almost 3 times.

With the post behind her, Olivia felt a little more restricted than she had so far in the day. Josh’s rope tying skills had been questionable at the start of the day, but he was a fast learner.

“You’ve done well” Olivia said after giving the rope a good test. “You could make it more restrictive by adding more ropes.”

She started untying the rope around herself, having a little trouble due to her upper arms being pinned to her sides and the knot by her right arm, so Josh reached over and untied it for her.

“Thanks” Olivia said. “I’ll show you what I mean.”

She held the strand of rope up in front of herself.

“You tied me to the pole by my upper arms, which is a good idea. You could also add a rope around my stomach.”

Olivia demonstrated by looping the rope around her midriff.

“This combined with another rope would make it harder to get out, especially if my hands were also trapped. Or maybe try this.”

She bent over and wrapped it around her ankles and the post.

“This is probably one to use once you’ve had enough rope to bind the person’s arms. It keeps them from kicking, and might make it harder to slip out. You could even add a rope to the upper legs, or maybe the waist.”

Olivia dropped the rope and stood against the post and crossed her arms behind it.

“Tying someone’s hands like this could make it hard to get out. They can’t get away from the post if they can’t get their hands free. But if you tie a rope around their arms and chest too, maybe around their stomach, and a couple around the legs...”

Olivia pressed herself flat against the post.

“...It’s going to be very hard for them to go anywhere” she finished.

Josh tried not to make it obvious he liked the look of Olivia faking helplessness and was trying to imagine her actually tied like that. Olivia stepped away from the post and picked up the one strand of rope.

“I think we’ll have one last lesson before we move on to your final test” she said. “Let’s go back inside.”

Olivia opened the door and Josh followed her back into the kitchen carrying the rope.

“Last lessons, I think. Tying someone to a chair. The key is to make sure the person you’re tying is tied tightly enough to prevent slipping out, and also that they can’t move around to find a knot. So, it’s basically like anything else, but you have some extra things to keep in mind.”

Olivia sat in the chair.

“Let’s look at this chair. It’s a basic wooden kitchen chair. You could just do what they do in the movies and tie my hands behind the chair, tie my feet either together or to the chair. Or, if you’re really simple, just tie my upper body and arms to the chair back. But there are other things. I might tie someone’s hands to the chair frame, like this.”

Olivia placed her hands against the sides of the chair.

“If you do this, they can’t reach much to untie it. All they can do is hope they can slip an arm free. Do that and tie a rope around their chest and they really can’t move around much.”

Olivia sat forward and pointed down to her feet.

“There are several options for the legs too. Tie them together, perhaps? Or to the chair frame? Or maybe...”

Olivia lifted her feet off the floor and under the chair.

“Make sure the person you’re tying has some flexibility for this. We aren’t holding enemy combatants prisoner here and are concerned for each other’s safety. But tie their feet up here and tie it to the back of the chair frame and it’ll really be hard to get free. Just make sure they can’t reach the knots with their hands.”

Olivia put her feet back down. Josh was focused more than he’d been for most classes in school.

“You could do a few other things, like tying them down to the chair by their waist, but that’s mostly just added security or to emphasize the helplessness, not really ways to restrain them in themselves.”

Olivia looked over at a nearby clock.

“It’s getting on into the afternoon. I’ve taught you a lot about what I know from my own experiences. If you want to put it all to the test we should do it soon. You’ll need to release me and go home sometime around 4:30.”

“Great, let’s get started!” Josh said.

Olivia laughed. “Don’t get too excited. I need to use the bathroom and check my phone first. You be thinking about how you’re going to do this. We’ll see how good a teacher I am, and a student you are, when I get back."

Quite a while later, but here's the final part.

Minutes later, Olivia had used the bathroom and checked her messages—just a couple. She had to resist the urge to respond to one of her friends that she’d been away from her phone because she was a “little tied up.” It was too much of a cliché.

“I’m ready to go” Olivia said as she returned to the living room. “Let’s talk about how this is going to work”

She looked at the clock. Her mom got home before her dad, about an hour and a half away.

“I get to tie you and gag you for an hour if you can’t escape, right?” Josh asked.

“I have a different idea” Olivia said. “Let’s have you work for that reward. We’ll do it like the lessons. You tie up one thing at a time. If I don’t escape in 5 minutes, you get to add another binding, and we go another 5 minutes, until you’ve got me pretty well tied and helpless. Then, if I still can’t escape, you get to gag me, and if after another 5 minutes I’m still unable to get loose, then you’ve won.”

Josh’s face scrunched up in thought. He thought about it for several seconds. Olivia didn’t think he was going to go for it at first.

“So every 5 minutes, I add another rope? How will it work? When will it be finished?”

“I’ll give you enough time to tie the rope on me without struggling. You can tie and retie it, but once you sit back and stop, that counts as the attempt, and my 5 minutes starts. You can’t retie anything I might have loosened. You’ll get some leeway to add ropes that you think will hamper my ability to free the earlier bonds.”

Olivia looked at the rope and thought about how long this would go on.

“Let’s say...we’ll aim for 6 restraints. At 5 minutes, that’ll be 30 minutes. The last one will be the gag. Then you’ll have another length of me bound and gagged, you know, assuming you reach that point. But one way or another, at 4:45, you better untie me, because discussing this with my parents would probably get a little bit awkward.”

Josh still thought it over. It was tempting. A part of him was afraid Olivia was hoping to escape quickly and be done with it. But Josh was pretty confident in his newfound abilities.

“Okay” he agreed. “Let’s do it.”

Olivia got in the middle of her family’s living room and sat on the floor. She set her phone’s timer for 5 minutes.

“I guess we’ll start with my hands and feet. You can tie them however you want. Just remember, if I escape here, it’s over right now, so you better do it good.”

Josh took the first strand of rope. After thinking over his options, he said “Put your hands behind your back.”

Olivia did so. “That’s what I figured.”

Josh crossed Olivia’s wrists and looped the rope around them several times before tying it into a knot. The rope was wrapped around her wrists horizontally and vertically. Josh was satisfied.

Next Josh took another rope and went to work on Olivia’s ankles. He crossed them too and wrapped the rope around them a few times, pulling the rope tight, and cinching it.

Josh sat back for a second.

“Remember, once you decide it’s good, I can start my escape attempt” Olivia said. “So is it good?”

The ropes were pretty tight, and Olivia figured she’d have to go at least one more round to get free, but she thought she could do it. But Josh suddenly got another idea…

“No, not yet” he said. He grabbed another rope and sat down next to Olivia.

“Hey, no other bindings just yet” Olivia protested.

“I’m not tying anything else up” Josh said. He sat down and threaded the rope around her wrist bonds first, then through her ankle ropes, and pulled until Olivia’s hands and feet were within a couple of feet of each other, and began completing the hogtie.

“We didn’t agree on this” Olivia said.

“You said I could tie your hands and feet first. You didn’t say how” Josh retorted, pleased with himself.

“I...” Olivia wasn’t entirely thrilled with this idea, but she had to admit, Josh had a point.

“Fine” she grumbled. “Are you ready now?”

“Sure” Josh responded. He grabbed her phone and hit the timer. “Begin.”

Olivia gave a few experimental tugs against the ropes to see what she was dealing with. It was going to take some intelligent wriggling to free herself from this. She turned her hands around, searching for the knots to her wrist rope. Josh had definitely learned from her. She couldn’t find the knots at all. She tried spinning her wrists around, hoping to shift the rope around to find the knot. She was still working when her phone beeped that her first 5 minutes were up.

“Crap” Olivia muttered to herself. She had made only minimal progress, if any.

Josh gleefully grabbed another rope from the pile. Olivia had to stop any struggles until he finished tying the rope on her somehow. He thought about it for a few seconds.

“Remember, I have to be untied by 4:45, no matter what” Olivia said.

Josh came up with an idea. He lifted Olivia’s torso up by the shoulders and looped the rope around her chest and arms. The rope was long enough to go around here 3 times before he had to tie it off in a knot. He made sure it was tight and right in the middle of her back before sitting back and starting the timer again.

Olivia started fidgeting around again. The new rope prevented her from moving her arms some more, and also prevented her from doing what her new plan was, to try to bend herself so she could possibly untie her ankles. It was a smart tie by Josh. Olivia squirmed around, starting to really work up a sweat, but she knew she was likely going to have to use this 5 minutes to figure out a plan of attack for the next time, and hope Josh didn’t make a good choice in how to use his next rope.

Sure enough, the 5 minutes ended and Olivia was still pretty well tied up. She shook her head to try to get her hair out of her face.

“You have 2 more ropes, then the gag, to add” Olivia reminded him. “If you can keep me tied up that long, that is.”

“You haven’t made much progress yet” Josh countered, poking Olivia in the side, causing her to jump—barely, as the rope didn’t allow much movement.

Josh grabbed another rope. He thought it over for several seconds before an idea came to mind. He moved to Olivia’s legs and looped the rope around her legs, just above her knees. He didn’t know if it would do anything, but maybe it would make it feel tighter to her. Josh pulled the rope tight, tied it, and sat back and started the timer.

Olivia gave her new restraint a quick test before going back to trying to free her hands. She wasn’t quite sure what Josh was trying to gain from this one. It did make her feel more restricted. She tried not to focus on that. Then when going to reach the knot around her ankles again, she realized it did make it slightly harder to do so. Olivia decided to work on trying to slip her hands free of her wrist restraints again. That rope was, unfortunately for her, very well tied. She thought Josh had gotten a bit careless on one or two others, but he definitely focused on that one. She had made little progress and time was running out, with more ropes to come.

The five minutes passed and Olivia thought she’d made the rope around her knees looser, but otherwise had mostly just worked up more of a sweat.

Josh went back to the rope pile and selected another one. He knew what he was going to do with this one a few minutes earlier. He tied it around Olivia’s arms and her waist. Now her arms were pinned in two places.

Olivia knew right now she had to make some serious progress and it was going to be much harder to do so. There was no way she could reach the rope around her ankles now. She didn’t have the leverage.

Josh started the timer, now feeling very confident as he could read Olivia’s expression that suddenly wasn’t confident at all.

Olivia writhed around, but now there was much less movement available to her. She simply flailed without improving her situation much. The sweat was really starting to pour down her head. This was quite a bit of a workout. She was now somewhat glad she hadn’t changed out of her swimsuit.

Josh suddenly spoke up. “You’re getting closer to losing.” It was the first thing either of them had really said for several minutes. The competitive part of them had taken over and they had both been more focused on their goals. Or, in Josh’s case, focused on watching Olivia’s body as she twisted in her swimsuit.

Olivia put up a renewed struggle, her competitive nature showing back up at the taunting. The rope around her knees felt loose, but untying it wouldn’t help her much otherwise. She started to feel like she might lose.

The timer sounded for another 5 minutes gone. Josh had one last rope to add. He grabbed one and looked at Olivia.

“What are you waiting for?” she asked.

“I’m thinking” he said. For a moment, he wasn’t quite sure what to do with this one. He decided to add this one to Olivia’s upper body too, further restricting her arms, at about her elbow height.

Olivia now could barely move her arms. The new rope wasn’t that necessary, but it made her feel all the more helpless. The next 5 minutes was a bit more successful for Olivia: she finally succeeded in shaking off the rope around her thighs. But that was about all she truly accomplished before the phone sounded.

“Great...” Olivia said, knowing what was coming next.

“What can I gag you with? Do you have any duct tape?”

“No, don’t use tape” Olivia said. “I’ve...” She thought rapidly. “I have some long bandannas hanging in my closet, on the door. Use that. And don’t start going through all my things. I do have to get untied at some point and I’d hate to have to beat your ass because you went through a bunch of things you didn’t need to go through.”

She smiled, not really going to hurt Josh, but she wasn’t entirely joking about not going through her stuff. She had a feeling that Josh was interested enough in gagging her that he’d be back pretty quickly.

“Okay!” Josh said.

Olivia was right. Josh was back within a couple of minutes with a couple of bandannas.

“Huh, why do you have two bandannas?” Olivia wondered as Josh balled one up. Just before he stuck it in her mouth, she suddenly figured out what his plan was. “Josh...w--” Her words were muffled as the first bandanna was stuffed in her mouth. Josh had the second bandanna folded up and pulled it over her mouth and tied it tightly.

Olivia tried to complain, but the cloth muffled her voice pretty well. Josh would probably argue they hadn’t talked about how she’d be gagged. Olivia couldn’t argue, but she hadn’t quite expected him to do this. It wasn’t quite uncomfortable, but she wouldn’t have minded being able to move her jaw some more. She attempted to spit the cloth out, but the bandanna over her mouth was just tight enough to prevent her from being able to do so.

“Last five minutes before I win” Josh said, the tone of triumph very evident in his voice.

Olivia grunted, but the gag prevented her from doing much else. She began a furious effort to free herself this time, knowing this was it. She jerked, twisted around, tried to find knots, pull her hands free, anything. Most everything held. She tried to spit the cloth out multiple times, almost feeling like she could, but it just wouldn’t quite budge the bandanna over her mouth.

All the struggling was for naught, though. Five minutes later, and she had done nothing but perhaps slightly loosen some of the rope around her legs. Olivia had lost. Or maybe she had won, because she was such a good teacher. She wasn’t sure how to look at it.

“Victory!” Josh cheered as the phone beeped. He checked the clock. He had almost 40 minutes before he had to untie Olivia. She rolled her eyes at his celebration.

“So, what should I do with you for the remaining time?” he asked, more to himself than to Olivia.

She glared up at him, wondering what he was going to do. She hoped he was smart enough to know to use some boundaries. She trusted him, otherwise, she never would’ve started agreeing to this. But she knew whatever he would come up with would probably be something more enjoyable for him than for her.

Josh poked Olivia in her side. She gave a slight squeal and squirmed in her bonds.

“Wait, are you ticklish?” he asked. Olivia’s eyes widened for a split second before she recovered to a neutral expression to try to feign indifference, but it was long enough for Josh to pick up on it.

“You are” he said, reaching out and running a finger along her feet. She jerked them away, causing her to turn over on her side. In her swimsuit, she had a lot of skin exposed for Josh to tickle. Fortunately, she was only really ticklish in two places—but he’d already found one of them.

“Oh, good!” Josh exclaimed, giving Olivia’s feet a more severe tickling. Olivia thrashed around and laughed uncontrollably. The gag muted her laughter, but she could still have been heard anywhere in the near vicinity due to how much she was actually laughing into it. Even tied up, she was able to toss herself to her side and made it harder for Josh to tickle her.

“This is no good” he said. He leaned across Olivia to put his weight on her and pin her down. She felt a little vulnerable now. Then he started tickling again. She thrashed around again, enough she almost tossed Josh off at one point. He kept it up for a solid minute, counting down on the wall clock, before stopping. He didn’t want to really make her mad.

Olivia’s dark hair had fallen in her face and she’d started sweating again. She was thankful for air conditioning, but writhing around tied up still worked up quite a sweat.

Josh let Olivia rest for a short time, then decided to attack another part of Olivia. He tried tickling her sides, but her arms mostly blocked that. Olivia flinched, but she was less ticklish there and it was more surprise. Josh gave up quickly. Her one-piece swimsuit still exposed a fair bit of her upper back. Josh tried tickling that. Olivia jumped as best as she could and screamed again. Josh had found her other ticklish spot. He ran his fingers along her back just below the base of her neck and Olivia squirmed and tried to buck him off. Josh moved his fingers down a bit to the top of the swimsuit. Olivia still squirmed, but she wasn’t as ticklish here and it showed in her reactions not being as wild as they were earlier.

Josh gave Olivia a short breather, then moved back to the upper part of her back and she began thrashing wildly again. In addition to stifling her laughs, the gag made Olivia breathe harder through her nose. She was glad not to have a stuffy nose. The twisting she did caused the ropes to dig into her skin, making her thankful they were soft. She wondered in the midst of laughing and jerking if she’d still have marks from the ropes. She kept expecting to finally be able to expel the cloth from her mouth at some point during all this, but the one over her mouth did its job in keeping it inside her mouth.

Josh tickled Olivia on and off for several minutes, alternating between her feet and her upper back. After a while, he had to admit he was getting a little bored with it and stopped and looked at the clock. He still had about 30 minutes before he had to untie Olivia.

“Okay, no more tickling” he said. Olivia sighed into the gag. He was thinking of something else and a thought came to mind looking at her exposed back and he ran to the freezer in the kitchen.

Olivia put up a half-hearted attempt to get free, not happy he left her alone tied up. They’d have to talk about that later. She didn’t have the energy to put a great effort to getting free anymore.

Josh came back soon. Olivia couldn’t see from her view on the floor what he was doing, but she had an idea from the sounds she’d heard from the kitchen: he had ice. And sure enough, Josh sat down and Olivia felt a sudden chill on the exposed part of her back. Even expecting it, the sudden shock caused her to jolt in her ropes.

“Here, I thought I’d help you cool off” Josh said. Olivia tried to sarcastically say “thanks” but it was muffled well enough Josh had no idea what she said. She jerked around trying to toss the ice off her and succeeded after a few seconds. Cold water was still on her back which was a little uncomfortable and caused her to shiver a little bit.

Josh picked up the ice and rubbed it down Olivia’s back, which really caused her to struggle and mumble protests into the gag. Josh kept this up for a couple of minutes, until the ice had really started to melt and make a wet mess on her back. He got up and threw the ice into the sink to melt the rest of the way and went back to the living room.

Josh still had some time left, but he was going to have to untie Olivia soon. He thought about something else to do. He had an idea to make Olivia listen to some really terrible music, but he didn’t know exactly what choices he had in her house. He raked a fingernail across her right foot, causing her to giggle and try to jerk her foot away.

“Your feet are really ticklish” he said. “I like tickling you. It’s more fun if you try to get free.”

Olivia rolled her eyes and said a couple of words her parents would not have approved of her using, which the gag thankfully made unintelligible. In fact, Josh’s tickling had made it harder for her to get free, as she was just jerking around while he did it. She did hope that at some point she’d accidentally yank a limb free, but so far all the ropes held tight.

Josh went back to tickling her fiercely without much warning, causing Olivia to jump and yelp in surprise. She tried scrunching her toes to prevent him from being able to tickle her feet, but it wasn’t much help. He held her legs with his left arm while he tickled with his right hand, keeping Olivia from being able to get away.

Josh was less merciful this time, keeping it up for a while before stopping. By the time he stopped, Olivia was sweaty and feeling very tired from all the writhing and the tickling was getting to be torturous.

Josh let Olivia’s feet go and looked at the clock. It was nearly time to release her. He wanted to keep going, but knew he should let her go.

“Okay, time’s up” he said. But he did take his time in untying Olivia. He untied the rope around her arms first, then the ones around her legs, then the hogtie rope, her ankles, and saved her wrists for last, letting Olivia remove the gag herself.

Olivia immediately reached up to untie the knot and spit out the one cloth in her mouth. She was grateful. Her mouth was starting to hurt from the gag.

“I think you enjoyed that a little too much” she said, with some dryness in her mouth making it a bit difficult to speak.

“It was...fun” Josh said, trying not to sound too excited.

“Well, you did a good job, I guess” Olivia said, gathering up all the rope. She looked at the clock. Her mom would probably be home in the next 15 minutes. “You need to get on out of here.”


Two days later, some of the kids in the neighborhood were playing another cops and robbers-style game. Josh again caught Katherine. She expected to be able to escape easily again. This time, Josh’s knots kept her bound for a good 15 minutes until the game ended.

“Wow” she said after she was released. “What happened? Where did you learn to do this?”

“I...practiced” Josh said. That was all he’d admit to her.

A few minutes later he walked over to Olivia’s yard. She was outside again.

“Your teaching helped me out” he said excitedly. “Katherine didn’t escape this time. She stayed tied up until the end of the game.”

“That’s...great” Olivia said. Her tickle and ice torture hadn’t been for nothing, then.

“You were a good teacher” Josh said. “That’s the first time I’ve ever kept anyone tied up more than a couple of minutes.”

“That’s a great thing to be proud of” Olivia deadpanned. “You seemed to enjoy the time we spent working on it.”

“You weren’t mad about any of it, were you?” Josh asked, for the first time legitimately worried.

“No, don’t worry” Olivia replied, laughing a bit. “I can handle it.”

“Do you have any other lessons to teach?” Josh asked, a bit hopeful.

“I think I taught you all I know” Olivia said. “I mean, I’m not really any expert on this. Just a few tips I learned playing the games around here. I got tied up where I couldn’t escape a few times and took some ideas from those times, plus my dad taught me how to tie some good knots. I doubt he expected me to use them like this.” She laughed again.

“But, just remember what I taught you. Cinch the knots, make sure everything’s tied tight, keep it out of reach, that’ll likely be enough. But now...since I helped you out...I think I could use some payback for helping you out.”

Olivia led Josh to where she had the ropes. He got his hopes up for some more fun, but that wasn’t what Olivia had in mind.

“I didn’t have time to coil them up properly. So...you can help me do it.”

Josh shrugged and grabbed one of the ropes. With the fun came the mundane work to go with it.
