Show Adri the stick's power.

Adriana stumbled backwards, pulled by some unknown force. When she turned back, she only saw Sally smiling at her. She looked confused, and a little frightened. She eyed the strange rod she held in her hand.

“Sally, I need to go,” she said, somewhat less demanding than before. She turned to leave, but after Adri had only taken a few steps, Sally drew her in again.

“What the hell are you doing? What is that thing?” Her eyes were wide in fear now. She stared at the stick, both terrified and awestruck.

“This?” She twiddled it in her fingers, teasingly. “I’m not really sure. I just found it. I think it’s some kind of magic wand. You probably wouldn’t even believe me if I hadn’t just used it on you.

“No… NO! I still don’t believe you! You’re just playing some kind of trick! I’m leaving now, you creep!”

Adri turned again, about to run away as fast as she could. But before she had taken her first step, Sally pointed the stick at her feet.

“Stuck!” she commanded. Suddenly, Adriana found herself unable to pick up her feet. She tugged at them, but it was like her shoes were glued to the concrete walkway outside her apartment door. Sally had a feeling, almost a knowledge, that even untying her shoes wouldn’t be enough.

“How are you doing this??? Stop it! I’ll scream, I swear! Your neighbors will hear.”

“Adri, Adri…” Sally teased her as she walked around to her front. “Aren’t you even curious about this thing? Actual magic! And it’s ours to play with! Look, I know you think I’m a creep. And I suppose I earned that. But this thing has the power to satisfy your wildest fantasies! Don’t you want to find out what it can do?”

“Well…” Adri tugged gently at her feet. She didn’t seem to be struggling so much as feeling the power of its bond. She was tempted, but she still had doubt in her eyes.

“Fine. Unstuck!” she commanded, pointing the wand at her feet. Immediately, Adri could move her feet again. “You’re free to go. But if you walk away, you’ll never get to see this thing’s power. I’ll even let you have the first request!”

Adri didn’t run, rather surprisingly. “What does it do?” she asked, as her curiosity began to overpower her better sense.

“It seems to do bondage stuff. And I have a feeling it isn’t even limited by the laws of physics! Come on! This will be like nothing you’ve ever done before! And look, I know I’ve made mistakes before, but I’ve never ignored a safe word, have I?”

Adri sighed. She was still thinking.

“Maybe I’ll even let you use it on me… after a while.”

“Fine! Maybe you’ve learned your lessons. Okay, but only on one more condition.”

“Yes! Anything! Name it!”

Adri grinned devilishly. “You aren’t allowed to wear clothes for the whole ordeal.”

As soon as the front door was shut behind them, Adriana reminded Sally of the terms of their deal. Sally stripped off her clothes in the entryway, but making sure to keep hold of the stick the entire time. In a few seconds, she stood as naked as the day she was born, leaving her clothes in a rumbled pile next to the door. It felt a little embarrassing to be stripped so early on, especially while Adri got to keep everything on.

But she reminded herself that she still had the stick. For the time being, she was the one in charge. But she had made a promise.

“So, Adri,” she asked, brandishing the stick. “What is your first request?”
