it is great to see they are getting their BOUNDaries sorted out

[squirrel]

Wow, Larry's father seems to be much more strict than Danny's! I love it

[TightropesEU]

Excellent conversation about boundaries and limits, and availability. Must admit I looking forward to reading about the actual tying training

Part 18

The boys returned to the kitchen to find Hank and Charlie sitting at the table just looking at each other. We’re back, Danny said as the boys entered the room, is everything okay? Fine, Charlie said, we were just waiting for you boys to return. Okay, Danny replied, we kind of decided that Saturday afternoon or evenings would work best for us. So, Charlie said, sometime later on Saturdays. Yes, Larry answered, is that going to be good for you dad? I can make it work, Hank said, but remember, I have that room in the back of the store we can use as well. I guess the place doesn’t matter as long as we are are able to make it, Charlie replied. How are you boys going to work in practices for yourselves, Hank ask abruptly. Dad, Larry replied a little annoyed, Danny and I are going to have to work that out on our own. Well, Hank replied, where are you guys planning on practicing? Here, Danny said, or over in Larry’s room I guess, wherever fits our schedules. Do you both have adequate rope, Hank asked? I do, Danny said. I think I have what we need as well, Larry replied as well. Why do you ask? Just want to make sure you have the stuff you need.

So, Charlie said, do we want to start this coming Saturday? I’m up for it, Danny said, how about you guys? We will manage, Hank replied, but I will get back to you once I know what is going on at the store that day. Couldn’t I come over anyway, Larry asked, if you have to be at work? You don’t want me to be here, Hank asked Larry? No dad, Larry replied, I want you involved, but I don’t want to miss out on a session if you have an issue at work. What happens if we have it at the hardware store, Hank asked, then even if I am working I can be involved. We can meet at the store, Charlie said, if it becomes an issue. Tell you what, Hank said, why don’t we schedule it at the store anyway, and then we can have the next one here. I guess if that is okay with the boys, Charlie said, I am in. The boys both agreed, so the next session will be held at the store.

Is that it for tonight, Danny asked, it’s so early. It doesn’t have to be, Hank said, I have an idea. What is it dad, Larry asked. Well, it depends on what he says, Hank began, but if Charlie is up for it, I’m sure he could give you a demonstration of the skills you need to develop to find your way out of some of the riggings you boys will be working on. Hey, wait a minute, Charlie said, I didn’t say anything about doing any demonstrations. Oh come on dad, Danny said, I haven’t ever seen you tied up let alone escape. Can’t you give us some kind of demo? I don’t know, Charlie replied, like you said Danny, you’ve never seen me tied yet. Not sure how you would take seeing me that way. I’m great with it dad, Danny replied, I promise, I won’t freak out. Well, Charlie said, obviously Hank, you are going to do the tying, but the boys should get to pick the challenge. Just so you know boys, it needs to be a more beginner type demonstration, as neither of you are ready to tackle more in-depth challenges yet. Oh come on Charlie, Hank said, wow them with your ability, don’t be going small. For now, Charlie replied, small is what I am offering, take it or leave it. Fine, both boys agreed, and then talked amongst themselves. Both boys turned around after their brief discussion and Danny said, Hogtie.

Perfect, Hank said, sounds like a winner. Better get ready Charlie, Hank said, while I get some ropes together. Charlie excused himself and went upstairs to get ready, hoping the boys wouldn’t necessarily follow his choice of clothing for attempting escapes. By the time he made his way back down the steps in his shorts and tee shirt, everyone was waiting for him in the living room. Wait, Charlie said, are we doing this in here? Yep, Danny replied, and Mr. Keagan said it would probably be better if he tied you on top of the coffee table so we could see everything you do. Oh he did, did he, Charlie replied. Well, it will limit what I can show you, he added, so I hope it won’t spoil the demo. I think you will be fine, Hank said. You haven’t lost this bet yet. Don’t want to ruin that record tonight, Charlie replied. Okay, he continued, let’s get this over with.

Hank grabbed a ten foot length of rope and began tying Charlie’s wriss crossed behind his back. Then he took a twenty-five foot length of rope and started to tie around Charlie’s arms and chest, making sure to cinch the ropes every few wraps, and then running the rope over his shoulders and around to between the arm and chest on the opposite side, then through the other arm and around the other shoulder, tying a knot in the middle of his shoulder blades as if starting a harness. A few more wraps around his shoulders and arms were made before he finished with the final knot between Charlie’s shoulder blades.

Charlie started to feel the tightness of the ropes that Hank was applying and started to wonder why is seemed tighter than normal. Trying to show off for the boys, or is he not paying attention like he should, he wondered. Charlie was helped onto the coffee table by the boys and placed on his stomach. Hank had Charlie lift his ankles up, and started to tie his ankles crossed like he did his wrists with another ten foot piece of rope. He took a fifteen foot length and wrapped a loop around Charlie’s bound ankles and ran it up to the center of the harness between Charlie’s shoulder blades, and then doubled back toward his ankles, pulling the rope with one hand, while pushing Charlie’s ankles with the other until he got the ankles as close to his wrists as possible, before wrapping another loop around the ankles and tying a knot. He then used the rest of the rope to run through the middle of the harness again, and around Charlie’s wrists, before returning to the center of the harness and tying the finishing knot.

Kinda tight there buddy, Charlie said, you sure that the my blood is still flowing? Hank looked it over and checked all pinch points, and replied that there were no flow issues that he could see. Maybe, Hank teased, you are a little nervous? I don’t think so, Charlie said as he gave a large sigh, so are you done? Let’s let the boys decide, Hank replied, and the boys said there should be a gag. Gagged, Charlie said surprised, how am I supposed to explain anything? No need, Danny said as he grabbed a sock, we will be able to see what you are doing. Danny pushed the sock into his dad’s mouth and Larry added a few wraps of duct tape to hold it in place. There, Hank said, I guess you are done.

Wait, Danny said, we need to set a timer. Danny ran and got one of the timers his dad used for him. He returned and set it for 30 minutes. He asked his dad if he was ready, and Charlie nodded his head. Okay then, Danny said, go!

Charlie started by feeling out the ropes that held his wrists and ankles. He checked for slack or any knots that might have been within reach. He wasn’t surprised to find neither, as Hank was good at keeping the knots outside of his reach. He tried moving around and trying to twist his wrists or wiggle his arms. Not much slack there either, he thought to himself. All at once he felt like the eyes of the world were watching his every move. He became somewhat self-conscious of the six eyes staring at his every move. He didn’t want to let Danny down, but he was already worried that Hank had set him up to fail. Being tied on top of the coffee table didn’t help him with movement, as it restricted his side to side movement to a point, and he didn’t want to roll off of it. He started trying to move his legs and raise his upper body off the coffee table. The result was Charlie actually rocking back and forth like he was riding a rocking horse. There didn’t seem to be a benefit from this motion at first, but it at least gave the boys a show. Charlie spent time trying to twist himself in any direction he could manage. Hank had done a really great job of limiting his movement. Just what I need tonight, Charlie thought, to not find my way out when trying to show the boys something.

He worked on and off testing and retesting the ropes for slack, any chance of reaching a knot, or anything that gave him some slack. Unfortunately, he was starting to sweat from the workout he was putting himself through, and getting quite warm. But that is when he noticed that he was starting to get some slip from the ropes around his chest and arms. If the sweat mixed with the rocking would help him get any of the knots in reach, he might just find his way out. So Charlie kept rocking and twisting, and reaching toward his shoulder blades, where he knew the knot he wanted had to be. He finally got a hold of one of the ends and was able to get a knot into his hand. He began picking at the knot with his fingers, prying at anything he thought might loosen the knot. He had to rest in between, but kept trying so the boys didn’t think he gave up. He also felt like the time he had left was running short, which added to his need to find his way out. Finally, the knot gave way, and he gained some slack between his wrists and the ropes around his chest. From there he was able to go after the next knot that he could now more easily grasp. Once he started undoing the knots, things started to move quickly. His legs were finally released from the hogtie, but would not fall back too far because of his ankles being crossed. Since his wrists were now wet from sweating, he was able to twist them enough to remove his left wrist from the bindings. After that it took him only a few minutes more to completely free himself from the hogtie. He sat up and took a minute to collect himself before he checked the timer. He just looked toward Danny, who was sitting in front of him with the timer in hand. There were twenty-two seconds left. He just made it.

Hank congratulated him on his escape, and remarked that his record still stands. Danny and Larry were both quiet for the moment, but when Charlie asked if they learned anything, they both started to just shake their heads. No questions, he asked the boys? Aren’t you sore, Larry asked? A little, Charlie said, that was a pretty tight hogtie. What did you do to get the ropes to move, Larry asked? Movement, Charlie replied, that and luckily my sweating helped the ropes to slide some. Do your wrists hurt, Danny asked? Why, Charlie asked, are they red or something? Charlie looked at his wrists, which were quite red and had deep rope marks yet. Not as bad as it looks, Charlie said, but this is what happens when you are in a pretty strict rigging. Did you learn anything by watching me, Charlie asked the boys, or did you not see everything I was trying to do? I watched, Danny said, but sometimes it looked like you felt you were stuck. There was a point at the beginning I thought I was, said Charlie, but you have to keep trying. This demonstration should have shown you that I didn’t give up no matter what. I did think you gave up at one point, Larry said, but when you tried again over and over, I realized that you hadn’t given up, but were just resting. Very good, Charlie said, so you have learned something from this exercise. Yes. Larry replied, I think I definitely have. The questions appeared to be over, so Charlie said it was time to clean up and call it a night. They picked up the ropes and got them put away, and Charlie went to the kitchen to get a drink, offering one to the rest of them. They all said they were fine, but Charlie was thirsty, so he helped himself to a bottle of water.

Well, Larry and I are going, Hank said, as he said goodnight, I guess I will see you again next time at the store. See you then Charlie said as he and Danny saw them off from the door. Once Hank and Larry were gone, Danny looked at his dad. Hey dad, Danny said, are you okay? Yes, Charlie said, why do you ask? It just looked like you were having a hard time, Danny replied. I was fine, Charlie said, but I get it. This is the first time you have ever seen me tied up before, and I am sure you might have been worried about me. Yeah, Danny said, I kind of was. Is that how you feel, Danny asked, when I am tied up? I always worry about you, Charlie responded, whether you are running a race, out for a run, or tied up on the floor. It’s part a being a parent, Charlie said, but also part of caring about you always. Well, Danny said, I worry about you too. Thank you, Charlie said, I am glad to know that you feel that way. But I promise, Charlie continued, that if I ever need help, I will let you know. Thanks dad, Danny said, I will let you know if I need help too. Even if you aren’t sure about what I might say or think, Charlie asked? After this, Danny said, I can’t imagine anything that I couldn’t ask you about. I hope that is true, Charlie said, now let me get a shower and you get ready for bed.

S good to see one of the Dads in ropes!

After school Friday night tie-up lessons. I'm pretty sure that Danny and Larry would rather have these lessons during Math and English classes.

Chapter 19

Charlie jumped in the shower and got himself cleaned up from his impromptu demonstration. He wondered if the sight of him tied was bothering Danny, as he did seem a little apprehensive afterward. Was he bothered or was there something else going on? He would have to find out later.

Danny was in his bathroom showering at the same time. He kept seeing the image of his dad bound and gagged while on the coffee table. He didn’t mind seeing his dad tied up. In fact, he wished he would have been responsible for his dad being in that situation. Why did seeing his dad tied up and gagged, make him feel like he wanted to tie him up more than before? I hope dad lets me have a chance to rope him sometime soon. But why did it seem like Mr. Keagan didn’t want dad to escape? Is he more wanting to get the better of my dad in front of me and Larry? Not sure how to feel about this. I’ll never get to sleep tonight if I can’t shut down my mind from this?

Charlie was relaxing in the living room when Danny came down to say goodnight. It’s still a little early champ, Charlie said, you sure you don’t want to sit a while? Feeling better dad, Danny asked? Definitely less sweaty, he replied, but fine otherwise, and you? I’m fine I think, Danny replied, but I have a question. Sure Danny, Charlie said, what’s on your mind? Do you think Mr. Keagan wanted you not to be able to escape that hogtie tonight? Mr. Keagan would like it, Charlie replied, if I was never able to escape from any way he tied me up. It is just his competitiveness, nothing personal I am sure. Do you think he meant for me to fail, Charlie asked? I’m not sure, Danny said, you saw how he tied up Larry before they came tonight. Yes, I did, Charlie replied, has that upset you as well? You aren’t going to do that to me are you, Danny asked? No, Charlie said, can you imagine what would happen if we had an accident on the way somewhere with you tied up in the trunk or something? You would put me in the trunk, Danny asked? I can’t have you visible when you are tied up can I, Charlie responded. Dad!, Danny exclaimed, you wouldn’t! No, Charlie laughed, I wouldn’t, not even on a dare.

But why do you think he did that to Larry, Danny asked? I’m not completely sure, Charlie replied, but maybe Larry wanted him to do that? I don’t think so, Danny answered, he plays these games with me, but he isn’t too keen on doing it with his dad. Are you sure about that, Charlie asked? Yes, Danny replied, he has told me that before. Does Hank tie him up without his consent, Charlie asked? I’m not sure, Danny said, he may tell his dad it’s okay, but I don’t think he likes the way his dad does it. If that is the case, Charlie said, Larry needs to tell someone. Who, Danny asked, his mom? If that is who he feels he can tell, Charlie said, absolutely. Otherwise, he needs to find an adult he feels safe with to tell. But, Charlie said, who ever he tells will end up having to go to the proper authorities. The police. Danny exclaimed! If he feels he needs to be protected from his dad, yes, Charlie answered. Do you really think his dad wants to tie him up all the time for other reasons, Charlie asked? I don’t know, Danny said, but I am glad you are my dad. Thanks, Charlie said, I hope you will let me know if I am doing or asking you for something you don’t want to do. I will, Danny said,, but do you think you can do me one more favor today? Oh no, Charlie said, don’t tell me you want to be tied up again. Well, Danny stammered, I kind of do, please! Seriously, Charlie said, you sure after the day we’ve had? Yes dad, Danny said, I think it will help me relax and get my mind off of other things. Fine, Charlie said, go upstairs and get set and I will be up in a few minutes.

Charlie went upstairs to Danny’s room after he made sure all the doors were locked. As he opened the door, Danny was sitting in the center of the bed. So, Danny, Charlie asked, not that I think this is a good idea tonight, but what are you looking for? I want to be helpless, Danny said, but tied up on the bed. You mean like spread eagle across the mattress, Charlie questioned? Yes, Danny replied, exactly just like a great big X. Why helpless tonight Danny, Charlie asked, is this one of those times you just want to be tied up? And gagged, Danny added, I want to be helpless, and without a gag, I’m not. Not sure I want to gag you in this situation, Charlie said, but if you will accept a simple bandanna gag without me putting anything else in your mouth, I will do it. That’s fine, Danny said, as long as it keeps me quiet. Are you planning on making noise, Charlie asked? I want to be able to scream without causing any disruptions to you. Okay, Charlie said, as you wish, but for how long? An hour please, Danny said. Very well then, get into position and I will get you set up.

Charlie went through the gear until he found the bandannas. He took one of the largest ones and folded it until he had a strip about 2 inches wide. He then tied a knot in the middle of the bandanna. Okay, Charlie said, open up. Danny opened his mouth and Charlie shoved the knot as far inside Danny’s mouth as possible before tying it tightly behind his head. Too tight, Charlie asked? Danny shook his head no. Charlie then took a second bandanna and folded it the same as the first. He tied this bandanna over top of the other one and tied it snug behind his head. Okay then son, lay out across the bed and spread out each arm or leg to the post closest to it. Charlie grabbed several coils of rope and started wrapping loops around one of Danny’s wrists and knotting it well, before using the remainder of the rope to attach it to the post of the bed. He made sure he didn’t leave any knots at mattress level, but rather finished tying it off at the bed frame underneath. He did the same with the other wrist next. Then he had Danny try to stretch the rest of his body as close to the bottom of the bed as possible while he pulled on Danny’s legs to stretch him out a little more. Then he tied Danny’s ankles just like he had the wrists, with the final knots at the frame of the bed. Once he had all of Danny’s wrists and ankles tied to the posts, he checked to make sure that he wasn’t stretched too tight and that there were no circulation issues.

That should keep you busy for a while, Charlie said, anything else? Danny tried to say something, but the gag prohibited anything understandable to be heard. Didn’t get that son, Charlie said, do you want me to take the gag off? Danny shook his head no, and motioned for his dad to leave him. I am setting my alarm for an hour from now, Charlie said, when it goes off, I will come in to untie you. You okay with that? Danny shook his head yes, and pointed toward the door. Okay, Charlie said, I’m going, you enjoy your time.

Charlie left he room and headed to his own room. He got comfortable on the bed and turned on the TV to try to get his mind off the days activities. Hank trying to purposely keep me tied up, Charlie thought, but was Danny right? I’m sure it’s just how Hank came across, he is so competitive. He settled on a program on TV and started watching.

Charlie’s alarm went off on time. The beeping could be heard by Danny in his room, but he didn’t want this situation to end, he was comfortable. A few minutes went by, and the alarm had stopped, but his dad hadn’t entered the room yet to untie him. Probably in the bathroom, Danny thought, and laid back and closed his eyes.

Charlie lay sound asleep on his bed. The alarm went off, but he never heard it and continued to sleep to the drone of the TV on in the room. Finally, Charlie rolled over and turned off the TV and went back to sleep.

It was about four in the morning when Danny woke to the feeling like he had to go to the bathroom. He went to get up, only to find out that he was still tied to his bed. He went to call for his dad, but the gag didn’t let him make noise loud enough to make it out of the room. Now what was he going to do? Why hadn’t his dad untied him yet? He was sure he heard the alarm. He started trying to struggle now to escape his predicament, but his dad had done a great job keeping all knots out of reach, let alone out of sight. He was not going anywhere, and he couldn’t even call for help.

Then Danny had a terrible thought, what happens if his dad has some kind of health emergency and couldn’t get out of his bed. What if he needed help? Where were the scissors that his dad usually left within arms reach? It was then he remembered that his dad didn’t place the scissors next to him. He forgot them and when he tried to tell him, the gag made it impossible for him to understand. Why did I shoo him out, Danny thought. I need to get out of this.

It was four fifteen when Charlie opened his eyes. He felt like he needed to run to the bathroom, and slowly got out of bed. Man what a night, he thought, Danny will have to get up in a few hours to get ready for work, he thought. As he stood, he started to remember tying up Danny. Wait, he thought, did my alarm go off? He looked at his phone to see the missed alarm note on the face of it. Oh my God, he didn’t untie Danny! He rushed over to Danny’s room to find his son struggling to get free from the bed, gag still perfectly in place. He realized that Danny was awake and ran over to start untying the knots that held him in place. Once Danny’s wrist was free, Danny untied the gag, while his dad untied the other wrist. Hurry dad, Danny said or my bed is going to become a water bed. Charlie grabbed for the scissors on the desk and cut the ankle ropes so Danny could get to the bathroom. Once Danny finished, he came back to his room to see his dad visibly upset. I am so sorry, Danny, Charlie said, I guess I fell asleep and didn’t hear the alarm. You also didn’t leave the scissors within reach, Danny added. Oh man, Charlie said, you must feel terrible, and you thought Hank wasn’t the best dad when it came to tying up Larry. I might be worse, leaving you without the tools you needed for an emergency.

Dad, Danny said, it’s okay, I actually enjoyed the time and I slept like that until about four o’clock. But you know what, Danny continued, it was what I wanted. This never should have happened, Charlie said, you were tied up like that for hours, not an hour. It’s my fault, Charlie said, is there anything I can do to make this up to you. You don’t have to do anything dad, Danny replied, but if you would let me tie you up tomorrow night, I will forgive you forever. You want to tie me up, Charlie said, Can we talk about how you are going to tie me, Charlie asked, before I say okay? You can have some input, Danny said, but it is my decision how I want to tie you. Fine, Charlie agreed, I will let you tie me up, but it has to be just us, and no one else around. Works for me, Danny said. Now I better get back to sleep.

[squirrel]

Great chapter! Danny must have been shocked when he woke up and realized he was still restrained...
