The Games Player: Silent Night (F/MFmf)

[KP Presents]

I have to admit, coming home to find what was happening was a surprise to me, but it turned out to be a very – different way for us to feel closer together this Christmas. My name is Donald Blair, and I run a chain of estate agents – a very successful change, which means we as a family can enjoy some of the nicer things of life. I’ve been married to Jenny for fifteen years, and we have two children – Eric is eleven, and Olivia nine.

When I left the house that morning, I was intending to spend a few hours in the office making sure all the paperwork that needed to be completed was completed before the holidays, and Jenny was taking Eric and Olivia to John Lewis to complete their shopping. My wife was wearing a grey blazer over a white jumper, and jeans which were ticked into a pair of knee-high tan leather riding boots. Eric was wearing a blue shirt, tan pants and brown shoes, and Olivia a blue dress with a tiered skirt, white tights and brown suede ankle boots. She also had a blue bow in her long brown hair.

I kissed them all as I left the house and drove to the office – but to my very great surprise, there was actually far less of the work to do, so I found myself driving home at about eleven am. They had not got back before I drove up to the house, so I got out, went into the house, and then went to out bedroom, changing out of my suit and putting on a blue and red checked shirt, jeans and brown shoes.

It was while I was putting my shirt on that I heard the front door open and close, and then heard Jenny say that they should go into the front room, and she would bring them both a drink. The telephone then went off, and I picked it up to hear one of my staff asking me a question. That kept me occupied for a few minutes, before I ended the call and walked down to find out what they had done that day – and then everything changed.

Eric and Olivia were sitting on a couch when I came in, next to our tree, but when I closed the door, they jumped up and ran over to me, hugging me and saying thank you for booking a wonderful game for them to play.

Well, I was a bit confused by this, and I turned my head to ask Jenny what they were talking about – and that was when I saw the woman who was with her. She was wearing a brown leather jacket over a roll neck sweater, and leggings tucked into brown suede boots – but she also had a stocking pulled down over her head, and Jenny had her hands behind her back as she said she had forgotten we had booked this actress to play the game as a family that afternoon.

I raised an eyebrow, as Eric said Mum had told them this was a big surprise for before Christmas – the leady was pretending to be a robber, and she was going to make sure that we “all stayed in oner place” as he laughed. I then kissed them both on the head and asked them to sit back down while I had a word with Jenny and the lady – so when they walked over, I went to Jenny and whispered, “what the hell is going on?”

“We’re playing a game of robbers -all of us,” Jenny said as she indicated I should look behind her – and when I did, I saw the band of white rope that was holding her wrists together behind her back – and the gun that the masked woman had against her back. It took me a couple of minutes to realize two things.

First, that this was not a game.

Second, that this had to be a game, given who was doing this. So I nodded, and said “well, I am glad you both want to play this game with me and your mother. I see Mum is already captive – so what happens next?”

The masked lady smiled as she said that she had to make sure none of us could raise the alarm, but we could sit and watch television while this was happening. She then told Jenny to have a seat on the other couch, and that I should sit next to her with my hands on my head.

We looked at each other as I sat down, and Jenny whispered into my ear “She surprised me in the kitchen – we have to play along, because if they know the truth, they would be scared.”

I nodded and whispered back “so long as she does not actually hurt them” as she sat down and put a rucksack on the floor, and then looked at Eric and Olivia. “The bad robber has to make sure the children cannot get free – so I need you both to come over and stand in front of me while I make sure you cannot move your wrist and arms.”

“Does it hurt Mummy,” Olivia said as she looked over.

“No, it doesn’t hurt – let the bad lady do this,” she said as we watched them walk over and stand in front of her, and then she took Olivia’s hands behind her back. We watched as she giggled and looked over her shoulder, before a longer length of rope was passed round my daughter’s body and her arms were pulled against her sides, the rope going round in two bands before the woman did something behind her back.

She then did the same thing to Eric, and we both saw the way his eyes were sparkling behind his glasses as the masked woman bound her wrists and arms. The two of them then twisted round as she told them both to sit on the couch, and then she stood up and walked behind us, telling me to put my hands behind my back.

As I did so, I felt her crossing my wrist and then the soft rope as my wrists were forced firmly together. I could feel how soft the rope was, but also how tightly the rope was being tied – and then the rope went round my arms and chest, forcing them to stay there as I wondered what she was going to do next.

The answer to that came as I watched her wrap the longer rope round Jenny’s arms and chest as well, her jacket opening up as the bands of rope framed her chest. She looked at me, and her eyebrow was raised now as she said “yes, Donald?”

“Nothing,” I said a is blushed, and she smiled – she did look very different like that, and there was certainly something attractive about it. I then watched as she walked over to the children and knelt down in front of them doubling a length of rope over before she crossed Eric’s ankles and wrapped the rope round them.

I watched realizing this was why the rope held my wrist so tightly as the rope went round and between his legs, and then she tied the rope off. She then used another length of rope to secure his legs together below his knees, before he did the same to Olivia, the bands of rope sitting on top of her boots and round her legs.

“Are you both enjoying the game.,” Jenny said, and I smiled as both Eric and Olivia nodded, twisting their legs round. I watched as the masked woman knelt down and crossed Jenny’s ankles, before she used more rope to bind her ankles tightly together, the rope constricting the leather as it went around and between her legs. She tied the rope off at the back, and then secured her legs together below her knees so that the band of white rope sat on top of her boots.

She tried to move her legs as well, the leather squeaking as the woman stood up. “Now then,” she said with a smile, “the bad woman was going to take Mummy for a walk round the house, but seeing Daddy is here, I will take him for the walk instead. I will turn the television on, and you can watch some cartoons, but do I have your word that none of you are going to try and call for help? If I do, then you can talk to each other about the game until we come back.”

“We’ll be quiet,” Jenny said, the children nodding as I was helped to stand up. “We’ll be back in a little while,” she said as she turned the television on, and then we walked out of the room as she turned the light off, the lights on the tree twinkling instead.

As we walked up the stairs, I said “are you a Games Player?”

“Guilty as charged Mr. Blair – so thank you for playing along as well. It means your children are calm and won’t be scared.”

“So, what exactly do you want me to do?”

“Tell me where valuables are kept, provide combinations when required – and all without raising the alarm, all right?”

I slowly nodded – the last thing I wanted was for my family to get hurt, and so I went with her round the upstairs room, including my office, as bit by bit she took money, coins and Jenny’s jewelry and placed them in her rucksack.

We then walked back down the stairs and into the front room as I was allowed to sit next to Jenny, then watch as the Player bound my ankles tightly together and then my legs below my knees.

As I twisted my legs round, Jenny rubbed her cheek on my shoulder while the woman reached into her rucksack and took out two sponge balls. She compressed them in her gloved hands as she stood blocking the view of Eric and Olivia, and whispered we should both open our mouths. When I did so, she pushed one of the balls into my mouth and I felt to expand, pressing my tongue down and pushing my cheeks pout as she did the same to Jenny.

She then took a wide roll of white tape from her bag and tore a long strip off, before she pressed it down over my mouth, and then pressed a second strip over Jenny’s lips. When the children saw us, Olivia giggled and said, “are we going to look like that as well?”

“Oh yes – but you can both have a drink first,” she said as she left the room, Jenny and I looking at each other before she brought two glasses of juice back and let them both have a drink through the straws.

“Huuhbhffrhdhhee” I heard myself say as they both nodded, and then she pressed strips of the tape down over their mouths to keep them quiet as well. They both giggled and bumped against each other as Jenny nodded and then looked at me.

“Well now,” the Player said with a laugh, “there we are - my captives are all tied up and cannot raise the alarm. Just sit quietly and watch television for an hour – then you can try and get free, but who knows – it may need someone tog et you free. Hae fun until then and enjoy the film.”

She then put on a Scooby Doo film for them to watch as she closed the door, the room now only lit by the screen and the lights on the tree as Jenny put her head on my shoulder, and we watched Eric and Olivia. They sat quietly, twisting round from time to time, and then we both watched as their eyes slowly closed and they fell asleep, Eric falling to the side with his head resting on the cushion of the couch as Olivia had her head back.

“Shwwhtdhwhddhnnhh,” Jenny said as she looked at me. I was trying to find the knot on the ropes round my wrists – any knot – but it was no use, so I said “hdhntntklnhhh – chnnuhfhndhknht?”

“Mhbbhbb,” Jenny said as she looked at me, the shape of her lips clear under the tape, and then she lifted her head up and pressed her taped lips on mine. My eyes opened in surprise, but then I closed them again as we rubbed our mouths together and twisted from side to side.

“Whttwshshthtfhr?”

“Ulhhkknhddhchutlhkths.”

I blushed and then said “shddhuhhh – whtthtkhsshghn?”

She nodded as we turned our heads and kissed, rubbing against each other as I started to feel very peculiar indeed. But it was nice, peculiar, as we moaned softly and continued to kiss.


I confess, the next two hours were very pleasant, until the police came in and discovered us, waking our children up in the process. They freed us and we all hugged, before they took our statements, and we sat round the table looking at each other. IT had been an experience, true, but we did feel much closer together – and we agreed to play the game every few weeks.

And it would be a game – next time…
