It's dinner time, go home.

Sunday, July 5th.

"We should be getting home" Madelynn said.

-“Sadly, I think you might be right" he nodded.

As Madelynn finished fixing her clothing they walked back to campus together while chatting general banter; the setting sun glimmering in the rough waters of the lake they were walking alongside of. It didn't take long for them to reach the dorm building they live in. After a quick "goodbye" and "see you around" they parted ways and Madelynn entered her appartment. Celine was still out.

"That's... weird" Madelynn whispered to herself. Madelynn had expected Celine to be home already.

"Celine?" she called out. "Are you home?". After waiting a couple of seconds without getting any response, Madelynn walked into her roommates' bedroom to check whether she was sleeping. Instead of finding her roommate she found a giant amount of plastic bags with the Xtra Store logo on them. Madelynn stopped to stare at the bags for a minute. A major feeling of curiosity coming over her. With a slight tremor in her step she walked over to the bed with the bags. A total of 15 bags sat motionless on the bed, closed off from prying eyes. Madelynn reached out to one of the bags and opened it up. The first bag contained nothing more than more coils of rope.

'I wonder if we need anymore rope' Madelynn thought.

Her curiosity still not satisfied, she went over to te next bag and opened it. Peering inside she could see multiple different items. The thing they had in common were that they were made of leather. They appeared to be leather cuffs. The third bag she checked contained steel cuffs; standard issue handcuffs but also shackles and manacles and other types of steel cuffs. she picked up one of the wrist cuffs and held it up on eye height. She gasped softly looking at them. Putting the cuff back she checked the fourth bag. It contained nothing more than lengths of chain, after checking some of the chains Madelynn figured out there were multiple lengths of chain. She twisted her wrists, wrapping the chain around her wrists and tugging a couple of times. Even though she just came back from her adventure with Luuk next to the lake, her arousal rose again after the feeling of the chain around her wrists. Before she could get lost in the sensations, she put the chains back in the bag. As she reached for the fifth bag a voice behind her startled her.

-"Are you snooping?"

With a thumping hart and an audible gasp of surprise Madelynn turned around, stood in the opening of the door was Celine. "Oh my god... What the fuck Celine" Madelynn exclaimed. "You startled me" she continued, an embarassed smile on her face.

-"You didn't answer my question" Celine said matter of factly, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Yes I was snooping." Madelynn replied.

-"And?"

"And what?"

-"What do you think?" she raised an eyebrow at Madelynn.

"Well, I didn't get very far. Only 4 bags checked, the rest unopened." She explained. "More rope though? Seriously?"

-"Hey, we might need it, I've got some ideas"

"Oh?" it was Madelynn's turn to raise an eyebrow at her roommate.

-"You'll have to wait and see though. I don't think you want what I have planned for the future yet."

"You know what, actually..." Madelynn said in a defiant tone as she crossed her arms "I have had a very eye opening moment this afternoon. I don't know what it is in the other bags, but I'm dying to find out, and more so to experience it" Madelynn stated matter of factly.

-"Oh, an eye opening moment, huh? Why don't you enlighten me?"

"Luuk, you probably remember him from the party, took me for a walk around the Markermeer, had an intimate moment"

Celine raised her eyebrows in surprise "An intimite moment... next to the lake?".

Both girls chuckled the moment Madelynn looked her best friend in the eye and nodded.

-"And I remember you saying you're vanilla"

"I AM" Madelynn protested. Celine just raised an eyebrow at her, still leaning against te doorpost. "Well... I was."

-"With all the people you've slept with Maddy, I can't believe you've never done any kinky stuff."

"Well, you can claim that title. Maddy's first kinky stuff." Madelynn said with a flourish in her hands.

-"And Luuk has taken your first exhibitionism, what a shame" Celine smiled. Something about Celine's posture made Madelynn think she was serious about it being a shame she couldn't be the first exhibitionism experience for her.

"There is still a lot of firsts you can claim when it comes to the kinky stuff. You already have first tied up, which is more prestigious than first exhibitionism if you ask me" Madelynn said as she winked at her best friend.

-"I'll take that credit"

After a minute of silence, it was Madelynn who broke the silence. "So what's in the rest of those bags?"

-"Oh nothing... Besides the restraints you've already seen there is... well... more restraints actually. A couple of toys"

"Toys huh?"

-"Yea toys, for both pleasure and pain. Blindfolds, gags, a couple of outfits. Basically anything we might need. I've also ordered some other restraints they didn't have in stock."

"That sounds hot".

-"So... What do you want to try?"

"Like I tried to tell you before, whatever it is you want. My adventurous side has been tickled and I want to do it all. I have a safe word if I'm not ready yet for whatever it is you planned. Otherwise, do your thing."

-"How dominant do you want me to be?"

"As much as you want" Madelynn answered, her gaze aimed at the floor.

-"In that case... Take a shower, put on a workout outfit and meet me at the dinner table in one and a half hours. Don't be early, don't be late."

"Yes" Madelynn replied, her posture and demeanor suddenly very submissive.

-"Yes what?" Celine smiled.

"Yes Ma'am" Madelynn said softly.

-"That's better. Go on then"

Madelynn complied and started her way to the her bathroom. Celine didn't move from the doorpost, Madelynn had to slip past her. Madelynn avoided her gaze as she did. Not for any other particular reason than she couldn't when she had slipped into her submissive mode.
