Self-bondage

The drawings in the book all share the theme of bound women, most of them also naked. Varying from very simple to shockingly **** sorts of restraints and positions, the sole topic of the book is definitely bondage, but from the little preface on the first real page, the author makes it very clear the spells contained in the book are intended to target the one performing the magic.

Sure enough, throughout the book and between the diagrams and descriptions of "spells," the author has written little blurbs about how much she enjoys being bound and the immense pleasure she's managed to derive from the techniques she's developed and recorded in the book.

Bri laughs, thinking the whole thing is silly, but still can't seem to tear her attention away from the words and pictures in the book. Phrases start jumping out at her. "Helplessly aroused" and "writhing in ecstasy" and "orgasmic bliss" capture her attention. She's always had a mild fascination with the idea of bondage, even masturbating now and then to the thought of it when her mood lined up just right with fantasy, but this book takes hold of her imagination and sets it on fire.

She once considered tying herself up just for fun, but anything she could easily get herself out of seems dissatisfying and anything she couldn't is too scary. And she can't imagine sharing her secret fantasies with any friends or family. Everyone in her life is super tame, there's no way they'll just accept it.

The diary is a silly thing, talking about magic bondage, but Bri eats it up. It's a perfect little fantasy for her, magic spells to play with bondage safely and discreetly. Sitting on a small stool, she loses track of time as she studies the diagrams and drawings to imagine herself to be the girl in the picture. The mysterious author—who never names herself in the pages—makes frequent reference to a certain pleasure-enhancing spell as the very best idea she had ever had.

Flipping through the pages, she locates it near the back. "The Fixation Pleasure Seal." There is a small diagram of a circle, divided into thirds by sinuous lines, with other small dots and lines decorating along the circumference of the circle. A simple sketch of a woman with the same symbol decorating her body like a tattoo accompanies the diagram. According to the description, the mark can be used with a spell to "seal" away a person's ability to derive any sexual pleasure at all unless they are bound, and that this allows the pleasure experienced during bondage to be greatly magnified.

Bri bites her lip. That's pretty hot, actually.

Realizing suddenly that she is having to hold the book quite close to her face to see anything, Bri notices the sun has nearly set. "Shit! When did it get so late?" She tucks the small book into her back pocket and spends a few minutes closing down the house, drawing curtains and locking up the house. She'll have to come back another day to finish with the attic.
