Naked except for a black silk ribbon tied into a bow around my neck, and tied down to the huge four-poster bed, all I could see above me were the heavy silk drapes of the bed’s ornate canopy and – by turning my head to the left and right – the ornate carving on the bedside cabinets. Not much of a view, and impossible to work out what was going on.

I tested the ropes that secured me to the bed. It was an instinctive response more than any real attempt to escape. Let’s face it, I was there with Alex because I wanted to be – I was certainly not being held against my will – but being alone and tied down offers a certain challenge, and if I could untie myself then I most certainly would.

It was our second evening at the hotel for his friend’s wedding. The actual wedding had been fabulous, but that wasn’t what was on my mind at this particular moment.

I tugged a little harder at the ropes, but not so hard as to tighten the knots. There was no give, which was both gratifying (who wants a Dom who can’t tie a decent knot?) and annoying, as I quite liked the idea that when Alex came back I’d be sitting up in bed, naked except for my sweet little black ribbon, a coil of rope and a grin.

I wriggled around to take a look at the way the knots had been tied. The rope securing my wrists had been threaded around behind the bedposts and the headboard, so as I moved it would slip to and fro, and if I eased myself up the bed a little and gave myself a little more slack I was more or less certain that I could undo the knots with my teeth. Alex had very thoughtfully wrapped silk scarves around my wrists and ankles to stop the ropes burning or bruising my skin, but I could still feel the constriction, and the sense of vulnerability and exposure, which all added to the erotic charge that being tied up gave me. An escape attempt was just all part of the game, although I didn’t plan to try too hard. I was really pleased to be sharing in the fantasy scenario that had started Alex on the way to embracing the Dom side of his nature.
