I almost panicked then. With how tightly I'd pulled that tape, him freaking out might block his nose in unintended ways. Using the safety scissors I sliced it off his mouth quickly, then pulled the blindfolding strip off as well.
"Manga, it's ok, it's just me," I reassured him as I fished the fabric out of his mouth.
"I know," he croaked, tears still running from his eyes.
"What?" I was nonplussed. This wasn't how I'd imagined this going at all.
"I ruined it," he said, dejectedly. "I finally had my first orgasm and I ruined it for you, I'm sorry, I was just so happy, I didn't think I could..."
I was overwhelmed. The only thing I could think to do was to put my hand over his mouth. He stopped talking.
"Run that by me again," I said. "Your first?"
He nodded.
"...ever?" I asked.
He nodded again.
"Wow."
I sat there quietly for a moment, until he pursed his lips, tickling the palm of my hand. I let go.
"I just never... could get anything going. I thought it just didn't work."
"There was certainly something going on when they kidnapped you for your birthday!" I protested.
"There was?"
"That's what gave me this idea! And you said you ruined it for me? What do you mean by that?"
"You had some sort of plan for tonight with this kidnapping scenario, but instead you had to let me go right away."
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the heart of my conundrum.
I looked into his eyes, and explained. "Manga, I was so certain this would happen that I didn't have any further plan. I just didn't expect you to start crying!"
"And if it hadn't happened?"
"I don't know. I'd have had to improvise again."
There was a long silence.
"So," he said, "you gonna untie me?"
"No."
There was a small twitch, but the magic was gone.

We talked at length before I released him, and Manga made it clear how much he appreciated the effort, and that he would continue to trust me with his therapeutic bondage.
"It's just a shame that your kidnapping was a one-time thing," he said. "Now that I know, I don't think it'll work again."
Challenge accepted.

It was a week later that he was forcibly abducted off the street.
I'd asked Kur to keep it non-invasive. Manga returned some hours later, gushing (and having gushed) about his experience.
To anyone else, "you'll never be safe again" would be a chilling threat; from Manga, it elicited a bear hug that almost knocked me out.
With Kur sharing the footage with me, I was amply rewarded for my charity. For the multi-day ordeals, I managed to sneak in visits without him knowing, even participated sometimes.
My favorite was when his kidnappers "released" him, hands still bound, mouth taped shut, only for a group of "thugs" to "stumble upon" him "randomly", stuff him in the trunk of their car, and take him for a second round. When
they let him go, a "helpful" motorist picked him up, only to abduct him at gunpoint a third time.
Even when it took him days to recover from some of the more harrowing trials, he wouldn't have it any other way.
And neither would I.
THE END
