Almost

At that moment, a wave of panic overcomes me as I hear the young male voice through the hedge. My heart races and my mind whirls wildly as I try to think clearly. Jan, the neighbor's nephew, is visiting and looking after his aunt's house. He offers to help me and I'm faced with the difficult decision of how to respond.

My first impulse is to politely decline and reassure him that I have everything under control. But the thought of me still standing naked and tied up in the garden makes me hesitate. I'm **** and helpless, and I can't bear the idea of facing a strange man, even if he is my neighbor's nephew.

But at the same time, I know I need help. I can't just stand here and hope for a miracle cure. I have to be strong and find the courage to accept the help that is offered to me, even if it means exposing myself in this embarrassing situation.

The words get stuck in my throat as I try to come up with an explanation while I run my mind in real time to find a plausible excuse. But in the end, I remain silent, unable to say anything, while the silence hangs between us like an insurmountable obstacle.

With a trembling voice and a lump in my throat, I finally reply: "Yes, please. I could really use some help." The words are difficult to say, but I know it's the right thing to do. As I say the answer, I feel a mixture of relief and fear.

As I slowly turn towards the gate to open it, I feel a mixture of embarrassment and shame that makes the blood rush to my cheeks. My heart pounds wildly in my chest as I realize that the first thing Jan gets to see is my naked backside and the handcuffs around my wrists.

The idea of showing myself so **** to him makes me shudder, but at the same time I know I have ****. As I open the gate and slowly turn around, I feel Jan's gaze on me and I can literally feel the embarrassment in the air. An awkward silence settles over us as I stand before him, naked and bound, unable to take my eyes off him.

Shame burns inside me like a fire, but I **** myself to stay strong. I have to stay in control and not let my emotions get the better of me. With a **** smile on my lips and fighting the tears in my eyes, I try to calm myself down and make the situation seem as normal as possible.
