Rewind to about 8 years ago. I'm baby-sitting my daughter and a few of her friends, plus my son. The kids were all aged about 11-13 or so, aside from my son who was a few years younger. As kids often do they got into some mischief once they got bored and before you knew it they had tied my son up. I asked the girls to let him go since he was too small to be rough housing or anything. They obeyed without any argument or protest and I went about my day. I was in the computer room working when I overheard the kids whispering. I knew they were plotting something and something in the back of my mind knew they might try to capture me. I considered putting a stop to the game before it even started, but something in me resisted. Lo and behold within few minutes later the five kids came in the room and announced that they planned to take me hostage since I released their last prisoner. When I asked them why they needed a prisoner they gave me some story that I'm sure was bogus, about how they play capture the flag at Youth Group and wanted to be prepared to handle prisoners. Now I had my serious doubts as to whether or not the Youth Leaders allowed the kids to tie one another up during their games and I knew I should end the game right then. But for she reason I didn't. Not knowing why, I told the kids that I knew most prisoners didn't just easily surrender and I got up out of my seat to try to make an escape. As it turned out, the kids blocked my path to the door and I had no way to get out. I took a few steps back until I had my back against the wall. I knew I was cornered and at this point was playing along with their game. They advanced on me quickly and before i could make a move they had me cornered. I should say, I'm about 6'1 and easily a head or two taller than any of the kids, but they had me outnumbered 5 to 1 so I knew escape was unlikely. Besides I didn't want to accidentally hurt one of them during a struggle so I (kind of) reluctantly surrendered. One of the girls asked me to put my hands behind my back and place my palms together. I remember thinking how odd it was that she had such specific request and how strange it was to be an adult taking orders from a child, but I knew it was all in good fun so I went along. Once I had done as instructed I was led into the den where they instructed me to lie face down and my stomach and place my hands behind my back. I still was reluctant to oblige, but I had already sort of agreed to play the game, and like I said, I was completely outnumbered by 5 kids who seemed hellbent on having a prisoner. I did as I was told, but I made sure to set a few ground rules first, to which the kids agreed.
So I lay down and placed my hands behind my back. The kids then made their plans, two kept guard of me while the other three gathered a few materials to secure me. Once the other three came back brandishing duct tape and twine I tried to playfully compromise. I promised to make them treats if they wouldn't tie me up, but they wouldn't hear of it, which I figured they wouldn't, but I figured it was worth a try

Then, the one boy involved with the game told me they were going to gag me. I tried to convince them that it wasn't needed by they persisted and pointed out that I wasn't really in a position to stop them. So I obeyed when they told me to open my mouth. A small and very thin wash cloth was waded up and placed in my mouth and they then put several strips of duct tape over it to keep it secure. Once I was all trussed up I tired to test my bonds to see if I could escape. I figured if I struggled had enough I could escape, but I quickly realized that they used enough tape and tied the twine tight enough to where I was truly helpless. I can't describe the strange feeling of being completely at someone else's mercy. Especially to be a grown woman , who was essentially kidnapped by her daughter and her friends. Eventually I just accepted my fate and reminded myself that I agreed to play this game and that it was all in good spirits. Which it was. The kids never crossed any boundaries and despite their teasing and taunting, where still polite and made sure I was comfortable when they tied me up. I actually felt kind of a thrill at being completely helpless and though I wasn't ready to admit it to myself was enjoying the game and was almost disappointed when it ended. Once they let me go, they thanked me for being a good sport and said I should play capture the flag with them some time. It was actually an appealing offer, but I knew how inappropriate it would be for an adult woman to put repeatedly put herself in that situation (in my mind it's different when I was basically coerced this time, and it was with my daughter and her friends who I trust.)
Reflecting on the experience I can now admit to myself that the game was fun, and I had always had a desire to be tied up and gagged like that. Now I want to clarify, that this was not me living out some kinky fantasy, since after all, these were kids involved. I just realized that I enjoyed playful bondage in a safe setting and it's just a way to reduce the stress that comes from raising two kids, working from home, and having a husband (though a wonderfully loving, supportive man) who travels a lot.
