It is still just a game (mf+/mf+)

[Ovi1]

Hooray! Another continuation to this great one. A nice and calm chapter with just the two of them. So Megan is going to sleep box tied (iirc) and gagged. Her shoulders and jaw will be sore in the morning, and Mark will have good dreams, maybe fueling his inspiration for the next day...

You made a typo in the third paragraph (hat instead of had)

[slackywacky]

You made a typo in the third paragraph

Only one? Must have been a good day I wrote that.
Updated. Bedankt!

[Mask6910]

So now we reached the end of a day full of tie ups.

Can't wait for day 2 slackywacky!

[GreyLord]

Megan is such fun.

[harveygasson]

Isn't he just the luckiest boy alive haha I'm pretty sure the babysitter is a big fan of bondage to be ok with being tied and gagged for that long. Great story still!

Mark’s turn

“Mark, wake up.”

Short pause.

“Mark! I need to go to the washroom.”

Another short pause.

“Hello? Anybody there?”

“Ehm, what?

“Let me out, I need to go to thew washroom.”

“Oh, hold on.”

Mark sat up in his bed. It had taken a few moments for him to understand what was happening. He had forgotten that Kira was locked up in the chest at the bottom end of the bed. Getting up, he grabbed the scissors and walked over to where Kira was, cutting the plastic ties he had used to lock her in.

“Thank you.” She said, before running of to the washroom.

The clock in the room showed that it was almost 9 AM. He figured that if Kira needed to go, the others would probably also need to go. There were muffled complaints coming from his sister’s room. Kelly had not been able to escape, she was too tightly tied for that. She had slept decently, to her own surprise, but her bladder told her it was probably morning.

“Good morning, sis.” Mark said to his sister as he walked into her room.

“Hmmppffff.”

Ignoring her, Mark started to untie his sister. It took a few minutes, but eventually she was only gagged and blindfolded by the tape Mark had used. Kelly’s hands tried to find the start of the tape. Mark helped her a little, but he let her do the work. This way she could not complain that he pulled her hairs out.

“Going to release your sister. Have fun.”

“Hmmppfff.”

Her reply did not sound happy at all, she was probably angry that he used the tape to gag and blindfold her. Mark left her and walked over to Vivian’s room. Both Vivian and Jennifer were still asleep.

“Wake up lazy heads.” He grinned.

Both girls woke up much the same, wondering why they were tied up.

“Oh, hi Mark.” Vivian said as she sat up.

Looking at her bonds, she remembered what had happened last night.

“Please?” She asked Mark, holding out her hands.

“Does not look like you actually tried to escape.” Mark said.

“Jennifer figured she could probably chew on the tape and get it off, but after we talked for a while, we both fell asleep. It was not uncomfortable.”

It did not take long to take the tape off. The socks had prevented any marks on her wrists. Jennifer had watched Vivian being released.

“You take care of Jennifer?” Mark asked. “I have to look at Megan.”

“Megan was tied up all night?”

“I’ll tell you later.” Mark grinned.

He walked down the steps to the main floor ands up the steps to the rooms above the garage, knocking on Megan’s door, before opening it. Mark could see that Megan was still asleep, a light snore coming from the bed. He slowly pulled the bedcover off Megan. She slowly started to stir.

“Hmmppfff?”

“Everybody is fine, you are the last to get untied.”

“Hmpf.”

She moved to the side of the bed, although it took some more effort than normal, being tied up. As she sat on the side of the bed, Mark started on the ropes around Megan’s ankles and knees.

“Hhhmmpppffff?” She mumbled, probably wondering why he did not start with the gag.

Finishing with her legs, Mark started on the box tie. Megan let out a sigh, but she had to grin. After a few minutes Mark removed the last rope, and Megan could get rid of the gag.

“Thank you.” She said after a little while; her mouth was dry from being gagged all night.

“Anybody making breakfast?” She asked.

“Not yet.”

“Okay, I will, but first something else.”

She picked up a rope and indicated to Mark that he should turn around. He hesitated a moment, but he knew that it was only fair.

“It is probably better if you tie me, the girls might be a little harsh after being tied up most of the day and night.” Mark said, as he presented his arms behind his back.

Megan quickly tied his wrists, crossing them, wrapping the rope first one way, then the other, tying the knot out of reach.

“Not too tight?”

“No, I’m good.”

Megan used another rope to shackle his ankles, leaving about a foot space between his ankles.

“Okay, lets get breakfast going.” She said after cleaning up her room.

Together they walked down to the kitchen. Kira, Kelly and Jennifer were already in the kitchen, debating what to do for breakfast.

“Let me sort breakfast out.” Megan said. “I’ll make some scrambled eggs.”

“Thank you.” Kelly said.

“In the meantime, why don’t you figure out what to do with Mark after breakfast.” Megan grinned. “Until them, tell me what happened to you all.”

“Yeah!” Kira grinned, looking at Mark, who sort of stood to the side in the kitchen.

Vivian showed up and when she saw Mark, she had to grin. They all told their experiences from the previous day and night. Megan was impressed with what Kira had gone through.

“Wow, that was special.” She said, while making breakfast.

“Not sure I could blame that on Mark.” Kira said, looking at Kelly. “It was Kelly who tied me up.”

“I only did what Mark wanted.” Kelly responded.

“Either way, it does not matter who did what. But, if you guys keep playing this game, don’t over do it. I do not want to explain to your parents why you have rope marks on your body.”

Kira looked at her arms and the marks were still visible. They were fading, but not enough yet.

“I’ll go for a swim after breakfast, the warm water will help.” Kira grinned.

“Or the hot tub.” Kelly suggested.

“Oh, and we could keep Mark tied to the lamppost, just as he did with me.” Kira said.

“Sounds like a plan.” Megan said.

The girls ate breakfast, every now and then feeding a piece to Mark, who mostly just let things happen. He knew he had not been too friendly at times tying up the girls, leaving them alone for longer than needed, but it was not that they complained a lot, so he accepted whatever was coming his way. There was still a day and a night to go before his parents would be back.

“Outside you go.” Kira told Mark when they were done with breakfast.

Kira and Kelly took Mark outside to one of the lampposts near the pool. Vivian and Jennifer had gotten the ropes and sheets from the bedrooms.

“I am going to untie you, will you behave?” Kelly asked her younger brother.

“Yes, you let yourselves get tied up by me, so I am not going to resist.”

“Maybe I’ll tie Kira against you a little later.” Kelly grinned.

“What?” Kira reacted, grinning. “Maybe.”

After untying Mark, both Kira and Kelly tied him up. His wrists and elbows behind the lamppost, although his elbows did not touch. Kneed and ankles followed, together and to the lamppost, before they took the long ropes and started to tie his torse and waist to the pole.

“Wow, we have a lot of rope.” Vivian said, looking at her sister and friend as they tied up her brother.

“I bet he has more.” Kelly laughed.

Once they were done, Mark could hardly move. He had already figured out that escaping would not be possible, too much rope and tied to tight.

“Are we going to gag him?” Jennifer asked.

“Sure, we do.” Kelly said, holding up what looked like a clean sock.

Only for a few seconds did Mark consider keeping his lips together, but he knew it was not hard to make him open his mouth, so he just went along, similar as what the girls had done. Megan came checking up just as Kira tied the torn bedsheet between Mark teeth, keeping him from pushing out the wadding.

“Wow, you guys did a good job. Well done.”

“We have lots of rope left. What will we do with that?” Jennifer asked.

“Oh, I have an idea.” Kelly stated, looking at Kira who just sighed.

[Mask6910]

And now, the payback on Mark has begun...

Now what do the girls have in mind for Kira?....and Mark

[Ovi1]

Great continuation, a good time for some payback indeed.
We'll see how long Mark's (and Kira's) predicament will last

[DGirl]

Nice work!

[DommeKirsten]

Great work!

Could be troubles as girls tent yo be meaner to other girls too ha

[slackywacky]

And now, the payback on Mark has begun...

Yes. I know that there will be a few readers (like @Bandit666) who want to skip this chapter, as it contains Ff/m, which is fine by me. It belongs to this story, hence why I wrote the chapter.

Could be troubles as girls tent yo be meaner to other girls too

Yeah, I know from experience. And I mentioned it when Kelly tied Kira in the reverse prayer tie.

Nice work!

Thanks and welcome to the board.

Wife, mother, daughter, sister. Bound and gagged by boys and men since 5.

Maybe you can share some stories. You do not have to be a grandmaster to publish something.

We'll see how long Mark's (and Kira's) predicament will last

No idea yet, have not written that chapter yet. Just finished a Bondage Model By Choice chapter, so that will be next on the board.

Thank you all for commenting, much appreciated.

[Bandit666]

You’re right @slackywacky I will and did skip this chapter but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy this tale like all your other work and I’m old enough and hopefully wise enough to appreciate tales have to flow as the writer wants and how the readers hope

Kira and Mark

“I like that one.” Kira said, holding up a deep red two-piece bikini.

After tying Mark to the lamppost at the pool, Kira and Kelly had gone up to Kelly’s room. Jennifer and Vivian were keeping an eye Mark, while Megan was cleaning up in the kitchen. The weather was still nice, but clouds were slowly moving in.

“Try it on.” Kelly told her friend.

While Kira went to the washroom to change, Kelly sorted some of the ropes out that Mark had used to tie her overnight on the bed. It had not been bad to sleep tied up, but not having much movability due to the way he had tied her, was irritating. Kelly looked up when she heard her door open.

“And?” Kira asked, showing her body off to her friend.

“You look hot.” Kelly replied.

“Yeah, I thought so myself too.”

The young woman looked hot in the bikini, showing a lot of skin, but nothing that would be considered slutty. Kira was not the person to show off her body. If they went swimming, she would normally wear her dark blue Nike branded Racerback one-piece bathing suit, but for Kelly’s plan she had to show more of her body.

“You know, it is mean what we’re doing.” Kira grinned.

“Why? You know he likes you, he won’t say it, but it is hard to miss. With him tied up, there is nothing he can do about it.”

“Remind me not to get on your bad side.” Kira laughed.

“Do your hair up in a ponytail, he likes that.”

While Kira did her hair, Kelly finished with the ropes.

“Ready?”

Kira nodded. She followed Kelly down the stairs to the outdoor pool.

“You look great.” Jennifer called out when she saw Kira.

Mark turned his head towards Kira and his eyes got big. He mumbled something in his gag, but nobody understood what it was. Kelly and Kira walked to the lamppost that was opposite of the one Mark was tied to. Looking at Mark, Kira stood with her back against the opposing lamppost, holding her arms behind her back and the pole, much the same as Mark was. Kelly used a smaller rope to tie Kira’s wrists, cinching the rope and tying the knot out of Kira’s fingers.

“Comfy?” Kelly asked her friend.

Kira did not say a word, just gently fought the ropes on her wrists. Kelly grabbed another rope, much longer and started on Kira’s elbows, pulling them together behind the pole. Due to the length of the rope, guiding the loose ends constantly around Kira’s arms, it took some time before Kelly was satisfied. There was a lot of rope left, which she used to run it around Kira’s upper body, above and below her breasts. Mark was watching what his sister was doing. He could not see what she was doing behind Kira’s back, as they were facing each other about 20 feet apart, but he could clearly see the tight strands of rope Kelly wrapped around her friend. He was also pretty sure it was Kelly’s idea for Kira to wear the somewhat miniscule bikini set. Not that he would complain, his gag prevented that, but he did have a, possible not so secret, crush on Kira. Kelly had used another rope to tie Kira’s waist and was now starting on her legs. The post was pretty much straight, allowing for Kelly to tie Kira’s legs tightly to the pole. Ropes ran at her ankles and above her knees, preventing much movement.

“Good?” Kelly asked as she stood slightly behind Kira.

“Yeah, no worries. I… hhhmmpppffff.”

Kelly grinned as she stuffed a sock in Kira’s mouth. An angry grunt was all that Kira could do. A torn bedsheet made sure Kira could not spit out the wadding.

“Looking good.” Kelly said as she walked around her restrained friend.

“Hhmmpppff.” Kira mumbled.

The ropes were tight, and Kira figured that Mark was enjoying the show. Escaping was not very likely, Kira figured, there was nothing withing her fingers reach that indicated she could get out of her own.

“Oh, nice.” Megan said as she walked out onto the area around the pool. “Like your bathing suit.”

“It is one of mine, but yeah, she looks good in it.” Kelly responded.

“And this was all for Mark?” Megan asked, a smile on her face. “What did he do to deserve this?”

For a moment Kelly had to think about that one. Megan was right. All Mark had done was tie them up in stringent bondages for the last 24 hours.

“Oh, I know.” Kelly said, grabbing another torn bedsheet.

She walked around the pool to where Mark was standing and blindfolded him with the bed sheet. He tried to prevent her from adding it, but being tied to a pole does not help much in stopping somebody from doing things to you. He could not longer see Kira, or much else.

“Not a bad idea.” Megan said, as Kelly walked back to the post with Kira.

Checking all the ropes that held Kira against the pole, Kelly tightened some of the knots as little. Kira complained, as she figured they were tight enough, but she was being ignored.

“I will go and study for a while. I will see you at lunch.” Megan said, before she walked away.

Vivian and Jennifer were still playing in the pool.

“Will you keep an eye on these two? I must change.” Kelly asked her sister.

“Sure, we will.” Vivian replied.

“Thanks.” Kelly said.

She turned towards Kira.

“Don’t go anywhere.” She said, smiling.

“Hmmppffff.” Kira replied.

Kelly went in the house and changed into her bathing suit, before getting a drink from the kitchen.

“He Google, what is the weather forecast?” She called out.

“It will start raining within the next 30 minutes, heavy at times, lasting for 3 hours. The temperature will be around 68F.” The Google voice answered.

“Ugh.” Kira sighed. “Rain.”

Looking outside she could see the rainclouds rolling in. Finishing her drink, she walked out to the pool.

“Good, we can go inside. Been in the pool long enough, and Jennifer is picked up at noon.” Vivian said to Kelly.

Both Vivian and Jennifer got out and grabbed a towel, before heading inside, leaving Kelly with the two prisoners. Kira was just watching her. It had downed on Kira that they had not discussed how long she would be tied, and it did not look like Kelly was thinking about releasing her, or Mark for that matter.

“Hmmppffff.”

“Oh hush.”

While Kelly played around in the pool, both Mark and Kira were trying to escape their bonds, but neither of them had any luck. At least Kira could still see what was going on. Mark’s world was a lot smaller due to the blindfold. He could hear occasional splashing, which was probably Kelly, as his younger sister and her friend had left, but he had no idea what she was doing.

“Enjoying yourself?” A voice, Kelly’s, asked Mark from right next to him.

He nodded. Talking while gagged was not very useful.

“Enjoyed the view of your crush?”

Mark sighed, as he believed that was his secret, but obviously it was not. He nodded again, although there was a hesitation.

“Want me to remove the blindfold, so you can see her again?”

This time the nod came quicker.

“Bad luck.” Kelly grinned before walking away.

Kira grinned, as she had seen the conversation.

“What are you laughing about?” Kelly grinned.

“Hmmppffff.” Kira mumbled.

“I know what to do.”

“Hmpf?”

Before she had an idea, a torn bedsheet was pulled over her eyes, effectively blindfolding Kira.

“Hhhmmpppffff.” Kira responded, shaking her head, but the blindfold stayed where it was.

Now neither of the prisoners could see. And to make things worse, the first raindrops started to fall.

“Looks like I will have to go and change. The rain will last for some time according to the forecast. I might untie you both when the rain stops again.”

Neither Mark nor Kira reacted. The rain was already coming down harder, but it was still just light rain.

“Have fun.” Kelly called out from the door to the house, leaving the prisoners alone in the rain.

[Ovi1]

Great addition! Now they're really teasing Mark as payback. I wonder if Mark and Kira get to see each other again any time soon. Maybe they'll be tied back to back or put in a position where they have to help each other escape.. or they'll cooperate to take down Megan and Kelly again. Endless possibilities, so much fun to be had!

[Mask6910]

Kelly having a mean streak going with leaving Mark and Kira tied up in the rain

I wonder if that mean steak will continue with the others...

[harveygasson]

So the tables have finally turned. I wonder just how much they'll put Mark through even with Kira still being on the receiving end of the ropes.

[GreyLord]

Well done, as always.

Jennifer ties Vivian

“Can I tie you up?” Jennifer asked Vivian.

They came, after drying off in the change room, from the swimming pool to Vivian’s bedroom. Vivian had changed into one of her many leotards, a dark grey one this time, while Jennifer had changed in her shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops, the same set she had worn when she arrived. Vivian was wearing white sport socks.

“Why do you ask?”

Vivian looked at her friend.

“So far, I, I should probably say we, have been tied up several times, but I did not get a chance to tie somebody. And I must leave soon, it is already 11, my mom will pick me up at noon, and you know how she is when I am late.”

“Yeah, your mother can be a little uptight at times.” Vivian grinned.

“So?”

“Fine.” Jennifer grinned. “Let’s look in Marks room to see if there is any rope left.”

A quick scout mission revealed there was still a decent amount of rope on the bed. Jennifer grabbed whatever was there, including torn bedsheets.

“What are you up to?” Vivian asked as she noticed that jennifer left nothing on the bed.

“Just in case I need it.” She grinned. “Can I tie you up somewhere else than your room?”

“What did you have in mind?”

Both girls knew that Mark had not made their bondage very tight this time. Last time they had been tied and gagged much tighter. They both knew that Mark had done it because they were younger, but it felt like they did not really belong in the game.

“Any ideas?” Jennifer asked.

“How about the garage?” Vivian suggested. “Oh, I know, how about you tie me up in Megan’s car. I bet she did not lock it; she never does when she parks inside.”

“I like that. Maybe her car trunk is empty. You will be like a real kidnapped prisoner.”

“Let’s go.”

Excited the girls went down into the garage where Megan’s car, a white Nissan Leaf was parked. It took a moment find the button to open the rear hatch. Jennifer dumped the ropes, torn bedsheets and tape on the floor.

“That is not very large, is it?” Jennifer said while both girls looked at the storage capacity.

Neither girl considered that Megan’s car was electric and there was more storage in the front than in the rear.

“At least it is empty, it will do.” Vivian said.

She climbed in the trunk of the car, while Jennifer grabbed a rope. It turned out that there was more space than they had figured. Vivian sat on the edge of the trunk, facing her back to Jennifer.

“Okay, hands behind your back.”

It was a little awkward for Jennifer to tie Vivian, because Vivian was already in the trunk, but they had figured that if she was tied outside of the car, Jennifer would never get Vivian in the car.

“Not too tight?” Jennifer asked as she finished tying Vivian’s wrists.

“Make it tighter, like Mark did. And remember how he runs the rope in between our wrists, I think they call it cinching? Remember we’re showing him that we can handle tougher positions?”

“Okay. Although I must point out that you are showing that we can stand tougher situations.” Jennifer grinned.

“True, but next time you are here, and we play these games again, you can join in.”

“Elbows?” Jennifer asked after she finished the wrist rope. “You think there will be a next time?”

“Kira can easily get them together, Kelly too. So, let’s try it.” Vivian replied. “And yes, I suspect there will be a next time.”

It turned out that Vivian was limber enough to have her elbows close together.

“I think that is tight enough.” Jennifer said, as she fixed the knot.

“Okay.”

With a long rope, Jennifer tied Vivian’s torso. Nothing fancy, mostly just ropes wrapped around from just above her breasts to the waist of her prisoner, but it meant that Vivian could not move her arms anymore.

“Feels allright.” Vivian said, trying to wriggle.

“Okay, slide into the trunk. I’ll help you.”

Working together the girls managed to get Vivian lying down in the trunk, facing forward, her head on the driver side, her ankles on the passenger side. Vivian turned a little on her back, so that Jennifer could tie her knees.

“Make it tighter.” Vivian told her friend again.

Jennifer did not reply, but she pulled the ropes tighter around Vivian’s ankles.

“If you want it tighter, you get it.”

And to show that she paid attention, the rope around Vivian’s ankles was tied tight.

“Okay, maybe not that tight.” Vivian responded.

“Prisoners should be seen, not heard.” Jennifer reacted.

She grabbed a torn bedsheet and pulled it between Vivian’s lips, trying to tie it at the nape of her neck, however when Vivian tried to say something, it was clear that the gag did not prevent somebody from talking, so Jennifer removed the sheet.

“We need something to stuff in my mouth.” Vivian said.

“Oh, I know.” Jennifer grinned.

She grabbed Jennifer's legs and pulled her socks off.

“No, not my socks.” Vivian protested.

“You only wore them for the last 30 minutes. You’ll be fine.”

Bound as she was, Vivian could do nothing about it anyway, so Jennifer took the socks of Vivian’s feet and held them up to the bound girl’s mouth. Her prisoner kept her mouth shut, but Jennifer had paid attention when Mark gagged somebody who was not playing along, and she clamped Vivian’s nose shut. It did not take long before Vivian opened her mouth to breath.

“Hmmppffff.” Vivian grunted, while Jennifer applied the torn bedsheet again, this time pulling it tight.

“Better.” Jennifer grinned.

Vivian could not see what Jennifer was doing, but a few moments later, she felt Jennifer attach something to the ropes around her ankles and moments later something was wrapped around her wrist bonds. When Jennifer started to pull and forcing Vivian into a hogtie, she started to resist, but it was already too late, her fingertips could feel her heels.

“Hmmppffff.”

“Hush, you said you wanted to be tied up like Kelly and Kira, so now you are.” Jennifer said as she knotted of the rope used for the hogtie.

She checked all ropes, making sure Vivian could not get to any of the knots. The sound of the doorbell rung though the hallway and since the door to the garage was open, Jennifer heard it too.

“Must be my mom, early as usual. I’ll see you next time. I’ll ask to stay longer next time.” The girl said.

Before Vivian could react, Jennifer closed the rear hatch of the car. She grabbed her bag, leaving the left-over ropes on the floor, and walked to the hallway, closing the garage door. Just as she reached the door, Megan showed up.

“I figured it was your mother.” She grinned.

Jennifer opened the door and greeted her mother.

“Thanks for having me.” Jennifer told Megan.

“You are welcome. See you next time.”

Megan closed the door and headed back up to her room, as she had more study to do. Vivian was fighting her ropes, unsuccessful, she would have to wait for release, but nobody in the house knew where she was.

[Ovi1]

Actual peril for Vivian, let's hope she gets rescued soon...

Nice continuation! Good to see the youngest get some agency again. Makes for a good change of pace without changing the format

[Mask6910]

Again, girls can be mean when it comes to tying and gagging, let alone not telling anyone where their victim is at

[Caesar73]

A fine Intermezzo I would call that Chapter!

[harveygasson]

Uh oh let's hope she gets found soon

[GreyLord]

Uh oh let's hope she gets found soon

Well, yes, soon. But not too soon.
