Helping a friend

Tom: Hey, Kathrin. Do you have a moment to talk?

Kathrin: Of course, Tom. What's on your mind? You look a bit nervous.

Tom: Yeah, I am. It's kind of embarrassing, actually. You know Lisa, right?

Kathrin: Yes, I've met her a few times. She seems lovely. What's going on?

Tom: Well, she has this... fantasy, I guess. She wants me to tie her up, you know, for fun. But I've never done anything like that before. I'm worried I'll mess it up or make her uncomfortable.

Kathrin: Ah, I see. It can be pretty intimidating the first time. Have you talked to her about your concerns?

Tom: A bit. She's very understanding, but I still feel a lot of pressure. I don't want to disappoint her, and I want to make sure I do it safely.

Kathrin: That's understandable. It's good that you're taking her feelings and safety seriously. Have you thought about practicing first?

Tom: Practicing? I wouldn't even know where to start, and it's not like I can just ask someone to let me tie them up.

Kathrin: Actually, Tom, you can ask someone. You can ask me.

Tom: What? Really? You'd let me practice on you?

Kathrin: Yes, but I have two conditions. First, you can't tell me when you're coming over to do it. I want it to be a surprise, just like it might be for Lisa. Here, take this. It's a spare key to my apartment.

Tom: Wow, Kathrin, I don't know what to say. That's... incredibly generous of you. But what's the second condition?

Kathrin: The second condition is that you don't stop until I'm completely immobilized. I want you to make sure you can do it thoroughly and confidently.

Tom: That's a lot to take in. I'm really grateful, Kathrin. Are you sure you're okay with this?

Kathrin: Absolutely. I think it will help you feel more comfortable and prepared. Plus, I trust you. Just remember, communication is key. Even though I won't know when you're coming, we'll still need to discuss boundaries and safety.

Jane sat on the couch, feeling exposed and anxious. Kathrin had convinced her to strip naked. Kathrin, not anticipating that Tom would arrive unannounced. When she saw him burst through the door, a wave of embarrassment washed over her, intensifying her discomfort.

Tom was clearly taken aback by the sight of her and Kathrin both naked, his eyes wide with surprise. Jane crossed her arms tightly, trying to shield herself from the awkwardness that hung in the air. She could sense his confusion and felt a strange mix of sympathy and irritation. Why hadn’t Kathrin mentioned Tom would be here?

Kathrin’s playful demeanor only heightened Jane's unease. While she had always appreciated Kathrin's carefree attitude, today it felt overwhelming. “Don’t be shy, Tom!” she said, her tone so lighthearted that Jane felt a pang of jealousy. She wished she could feel as relaxed as Kathrin seemed. Instead, she sat there, acutely aware of every inch of her bare skin.

As Tom stepped further into the room, Jane wished she could vanish. She avoided his gaze, feeling exposed and **** under the scrutiny of both him and Kathrin. When Kathrin suggested that Tom practice tying them up, Jane's stomach twisted. It was one thing to be spontaneous, but this felt like crossing a line. She wasn’t sure how she felt about being tied up, even in a playful context.

“Are you sure she’s okay with this?” Tom asked, his concern palpable. Jane felt a flicker of relief that he seemed hesitant, but Kathrin dismissed his worries too easily. “Jane is fine. Aren’t you, Jane?”

Jane felt the pressure of Kathrin's expectation. She nodded, forcing a smile, but the truth was that she wasn’t fine. Her heart raced as Tom moved closer, unsure of what to expect. She had always admired him from a distance, but now, the intimacy of the moment felt overwhelming. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was stepping into unknown territory.

As Kathrin began to demonstrate the tying techniques, Jane’s anxiety escalated. She watched as Tom tried to follow Kathrin’s instructions, his hands trembling slightly. The ropes looked intimidating, and the thought of being restrained sent a shiver down her spine. She didn’t want to be a burden, but she also didn’t want to be in a situation that made her uncomfortable.

When Tom turned to her, his eyes searching for reassurance, she felt a mixture of sympathy and fear. He looked genuinely concerned about her feelings, but was he ready for this? “Um, I’ll do my best,” he said, trying to sound confident. Jane wanted to believe him, but her instincts told her to be cautious.

As he approached her with the ropes, she swallowed hard. She felt a sense of vulnerability, but also an unexpected rush of adrenaline. She was in a situation she had never envisioned for herself, and while part of her wanted to retreat, another part was intrigued by the thrill of the unknown.

Tom’s nervousness was evident, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit protective of him as he fumbled with the ropes.
