They keep shooting

And it indeed sucked for the naked Neve. They repeated the scene again, and again, and again. Sometimes they tied Neve differently. Like when they hogtied her or when they tied all her limbs in front of her stomach.

….Honestly, Neve lost count of every knot and combination they tried. None of them were modest, but she had to admit that some of them were quite artistic… and embarrassing… and a bit painful at times.

It´s not like she could tell them to stop with her gag, and the rope made it impossible to run away… Hell, even her wincing face seemed to be part of the act. How long had she been there? Well, enough that they doubled back to the beginning, Neve was tied spread-eagled on the bed.

Was this ever going to end? Did her sister trap her in a time loop? Wouldn’t be the first time. Hell, Neve pulled that prank to her quite often herself. There was one time she trapped her sister in a loop just after unleashing Bozo the Tickling Clown on h-

A bell rang loudly across the building. “Lunchtime already? Cut! I think this is enough. We´ll choose which take to use in the edit.”

At last! It was over. Neve was glistening with sweat over her ordeal. How much time had she wasted in this hellish detour? Enough that the production crew could memorize every inch of her skin, she betted. Well, at least they would only use one take…

“Seems like a waste to throw away so much footage. Hey boss, why don´t we use the other takes as an extra for the Blu-ray? We can also put them on the web, you know?”

“Great idea Elena!”

Neve whimpered, at least it would be censored, right?

“…as I was saying, that´s one of the perks of working with HBO Ultra Plus. I no longer have to censor my vision!” The director commented as he was leaving the set.… Neve closed her eyes. She really ought to stop looking for silver linings.

One by one, the people left the room. Neve was happy that she no longer had a peanut gallery to her suffering, but would someone please untie her first? “Gt mh ht hr!”

“Oops, sorry miss!” A mousy TV assistant with glasses untied Neve´s right hand from the bed. Before she could keep going, however…

“Elena, hurry! It´s pizza Wednesday, you know how quickly they run out!”

“Ah! I do love Pizza Wednesday. You can take it from here, right?” The woman quickly ran out of the room. "Hrgh!"Neve indeed managed to untie herself after some effort and remove that insufferable gag from her mouth.

Neve moaned, rubbing her wrists. She slowly sat on the bed, her feet touching the soft carpet of the floor. “I´m canceling my HBO subscription as soon as I get back… oh no! How much time is left?” There was a clock on the wall… she only had thirty minutes left to reach the storage container.
